Originally posted on World Series Dreaming | Last updated 2/19/13
I woke up this morning and for the first time all winter, I am suffering from a bad case of Offseason Blues. Perhaps it's because for the first time all winter, I had to pull out the shovel to clear away that horrid white stuff off my driveway. Or perhaps it's because the sub-zero windchill temperatures slapped at my face as I did so. I just need a reminder that the crack of the bat and roar of the crowd is closing in and chasing this winter crap away! So, here's just a little post on my thoughts with a little bit of everything going on with the team right now. 1. FAREWELL TONY CAMPANA He was that member of the team you couldn't help but just love. He wasn't good with the bat at all. He seemed to have a problem getting the ball out of the infield. He really wasn't good with his arm, which made it somewhat of a dilemma to put him in the outfield. But, that kid could RUN! However, on a MLB roster, you really can't keep a guy on the roster for that specific reason only, with no other tools available to tap into. That being said, kudos to the Cubs brass for getting more than a bag of baseballs for Tony! Perhaps Arizona can work with Tony and find a way to develop the other things he needs to stay in the game, such as hitting the ball and throwing the ball. Tampa Bay turned Sam Fuld into a borderline player into Superman, so stranger things have happened! It's safe to say that we will have to see if this trade turns out to be huge or not, as the kids the Cubs got are two 17 year old Domincan kids. Erick Leal could be in the USA this year and was 6-2 with a 2.44 ERA in 14 appearances for the Domincan Summer League last year. He also had 70 strikeouts in over 70 innings. Jesus Castillo is expected to stay in the Domincan Republic and play in the DSL. He was 2-4 with a 5.40 ERA in 14 appearances. Again, at 17, it will be a long time before we see how these kids fit into the "plan", if at all, but we've seen some great things come out of the Domincan Republic, so in the future, this trade could prove to be huge! One day, I hope to look to the mound and say, "Remember when we got this kid for Tony Campana?"…and the person next to me says, "Tony who?" 2. MATT GARZA It wouldn't be a Cubs Spring Training without a report of one of the key players suffering an injury that makes Cub fans hold their breath and think the worst is upon them. What really intensifies that fear is when it happens in the first bullpen session facing live batting, not only of the spring, but the first time since mid-summer when Matt Garza was put on the DL for the remainder of the season last year with a right elbow injury! He had his MRI and it was GREAT news for the Cubs and the fans in waiting who were expecting the worst., but it ends up it's just a mild lat strain. He will just have to take a week off and see how he feels from there. Another postive thought about the situation is the injury is not to his elbow or shoulder, so hopefully it doesn't keep him out too long. It's too early to tell whether this will affect the regular season yet. It does make you wonder, however, that with another injury added to Garza's list, does this really hurt the Cubs chances of getting anything in return for him if the trade talks heat back up? We shall see. IF this injury puts him on the DL for the start of the season, does this open the door for Jeff Samardzija to get his first Opening Day start, or will Edwin Jackson get the nod? (I know, it's early, but again, I'm CRAVING baseball right now!) 3. DUSTY BAKER-GET OVER IT ALREADY! I know, I know, he's not with the Cubs right now, but in a recent article he laments how he wishes his story ended differently in Chicago. He once again brought up how the Cubs wouldn't spend the money to give him a contender while he was in the manager seat, but as soon as he was sent packing, they opened the pocketbooks and spent the big bucks. "At the time when I was sent out [by the Cubs] I wasn't ready to go then. When I was there they quit spending money and they quit reloading. Then right after I left they started spending money again. I would have loved the year we went to the NLCS to have added on and reloaded even more but the Tribune Company was in trouble and they quit spending. In one year we lost Moises Alou and Sammy Sosa and that is a lot of home runs and RBIs to lose. We also had some guys hurt and I was told to play some young guys to see what the young could do. That's the kiss of death because the record still counts against you and it goes on your record. It was all good, it's all for a purpose. I'm much stronger because of the experience. It made me stronger. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You fill in the blanks." I don't blame him for talking about it, as everywhere he goes, reporters seem to want to ask him about it. What I DO blame him for…. as his team was falling apart out on the field against the Marlins after "that one play… with the foul ball and Alou", He did NOTHING to get out there and calm his team down, slow the game down. From Prior's wild pitch to the ball A-Gon booted, he sat on the bench in the dugout, chomping on his custom made toothpicks. He didn't send Rothschild out to give Prior a breather, he didn't go out himself and pull him. Heck, his kid was famous for almost getting plowed over at home plate as the batboy, send HIM out to distract things! (Okay, that's a bit extreme and unreasonable, but it would've been SOMETHING to stop the train that was starting to run that team over.) That inning, Dusty, in my opinion, was your first step out the door in my eyes. That was your chance to end your story differently. It is not very often that one can look back on their life and pinpoint a moment in time that had they made a different decision, their entire life would be different. THAT moment, Dusty, was not only a decision (or lack, thereof, that would've changed your life, but the lives of MILLIONS of Cub fans who were desperately clinging to YOUR decisions to help end our pain. YOU sat in the dugout and chomped on your wood and did nothing, WE sat in our living room, bars, stands, etc, screaming at you to DO SOMETHING. Well, Dusty, things ended badly for all of us, not just you. http://www.csnchicago.com/blog/kapman/baker-still-frustrated-way-things-ended-chicago 4. BOB BRENLY & WGN-TV I was very sad the day I heard that "Len and Bob" would be no more. He took his talents and honest critiques of the game on the field to Arizona. Bob and Len had become part of my summer routine over the past few years. It wasn't until the story came out in the past few days that let us know that he was all but back with the Cubs until the very last minute. Heck, Brenly even took his family out to celebrate his coming back to the Cubs! (Part of his interview with Paul Sullivan): "It was unbelievably tough to leave," Brenly said Saturday during a visit to Cubs camp, where his son, Michael is a non-roster invitee. "Long story short, we thought we had a deal done, and actually went out and celebrated with my family and ran up a pretty good tab at Joe's (Stone Crabs). "Woke up the next morning and there were some issues with the contract. One thing led to another and that kind of opened up negotiations with the Diamondbacks and it rolled downhill quickly. The Diamondbacks were willing to give me the years and the money that WGN and Comcast (Sports Net) could just not guarantee. Not a bad Plan B." It wasn't about money, which some believe it was. It's no secret that Bob made A LOT of money! With the Cubs cutting back on payroll all over, it just seemed to make sense. However, it came down to two years. Two years and a big complicated mess. The Cubs said they could not give him more than a two year contract because the contract with WGN-TV is up after 2014 and they plan to open up bidding rights to cover the games. Heck, who can blame the Cubs for this plan after seeing the Dodgers get an agreement with Time Warner Cable that $7-8 BILLION over the next 25 years. (Yes, BILLION). I didn't realize that not only do the broadcasters have contracts with the Cubs, but WGN-TV and CSN both pay them as well. It only makes sense that WGN-TV wouldn't offer more than a 2 year deal as part of their contract if they aren't sure if they will even be carrying the games after that. What somewhat puzzles me is that they gave Brenly's replacement, Jim Deshaies a 4 year deal, unless it's not a "guaranteed contract" after the two years. (Again, I'm not one who really understands the whole behind-the-scenes stuff when it comes to contracts and negotiations, so I'm sure there is reasoning behind it somewhere). I wish Brenly well, and perhaps he can be Tony Campana's biggest fan, or biggest critic while in Arizona! He still has an interest in the Cubs, as his son, Michael, is still in the Cubs minor league system. As far as the WGN-TV thing goes, it would be a very sad day to see the relationship end between the Cubs and WGN-TV. How many people say they got their love for the Cubs by watching the Cubs on WGN? How many people rely on WGN-TV all over the country to be able to get their Cubs-fix? Perhaps it's not such a big problem there, with the internet and MLB packages available. CSN could pick up all of the WGN-TV games, but that may interfere with their partnerships with the White Sox, Bulls, and Blackhawks games. Honestly, I enjoy the CSN broadcasts more than the WGN broadcasts as there is much more pre-game/post-game analysis. I've heard whispers of a Cubs Network, similar to the Yankees' YES Network, however, that would have to be a way down the road as the contract with CSNChicago doesn't expire until 2019. 5. ALFONSO SORIANO As Sori starts his seventh year in a Cub uniform, some things never change. Such as the Soriano trade talks. (check out the SunTimes article in the link.… good stuff)! With just two years left on his eight-year, $136 million contract, he never seemed to live up to the expectations of many Cub fans. He came over from the Nationals as a 40-40 man, so perhaps he started out as a Cub with some pretty unreasonable expectations to begin with. He wasn't exactly a young chicken when he put the pen to the paper with the Cubs brass back in 2007, so the chances of that 40-40 man showing up year after year were slim to none, however, many Cub fans expected that because of the number of zero's that followed the dollar sign in his contract. You can't blame Sori for the amount of money that the Cubs gave him. Any person in their right mind isn't going to say "No, you can't pay me that! That's too much money!". He's never NOT tried to live up to it. Teammates, coaches, managers, etc. have always preached about how he is one of the hardest working guy in the clubhouse. With a conversation I had with the Cubs trainer, Tim Buss, at the convention this past January, HE even praised Sori for his work ethic. He told me that they have to work together even harder because of the fact his body is so much older than the other players and they HAVE to keep his body (and especially his knees) conditioned to keep him on the field. He has the heart. He signed here to be on the World Series winning team. That has been his goal from day one. However, reality may be sneaking up on him. He realizes his age is narrowing his playing days down. ''My point is I signed here to win the World Series,'' he said. ''I don't want to go somewhere else and win. But,at my age, I don't want to be part of a losing team. . . . If we have a bad start, I have to think about moving somewhere else.'' He does have the right to say no to a trade, and actually exercised that option last year when the Giants were somewhat interested in him. He said "no" so quickly that the talks didn't even get to the point where players were named as part of the trade. That, Cub fans, should speak volumes. I do believe that he is the only player left on the team that was part of the 2007-2008 playoff runs, and I would like to see him get the chance to see his dream come true, however with his time clock ticking, and the Cubs recent plan, I don't see it happening. I hope Cub fans can embrace what could be Sori's final months as a Cub. He gave us his all. Although, I said it earlier, stranger things can happen. He did say if the Cubs are playing well, he's not going anywhere! And he has every right to say that. 6. NO ADDITIONAL LIGHT GAMES AT WRIGLEY THIS YEAR I'm not going to get into this too much, but I do have some thoughts on it. Politics and baseball just frustrate me. In the Tribune article last week, Ald. Tom Tunney did not even introduce legislation to propose additional night games at Wrigley, which The Rickett's Family was hoping for. As of right now, the Cubs can have 27 night games scheduled, and can add an additional 3 to accommodate National TV, as needed. To the City of Chicago, will you PLEASE back off and let the Cubs do what they need to do to move forward? And to the residents of Wrigleyville… You moved to Wrigleyville with the knowledge that Wrigley Field is there! If you don't like the noise, the traffic congestion, the atmosphere around Wrigley, then why in the heck did you move there? Seriously? If you buy a house next to an airport, don't ***** about the noise of the planes overhead! If you buy a house along a highway or freeway, don't ***** about the noise of the traffic! YOU made the choice to live there. Deal with the things that go with the neighborhood or move. 7. KATIE IS IN ARIZONA Following up on a story I wrote earlier this week, fellow Cub fan Katie Cernek is currently in Arizona in the final round of competition to be selected to be a part of the 2013 MLB Fan Cave. She was voted in by fans to be a part of the Top 30 contestants. MLB flew her out to Arizona for the last stage of the competition. She seems to be having the time of her life, but who wouldn't be! Although, her trip started out with a heartbreak as while she was on her way to Chicago, she found out one of her current favorite Cubs had been traded to Arizona. (She talked of her love for Campy in the article). "Katie: Well, it was Tony Campana! He was always the ultimate underdog; from battling (and beating!) cancer as a kid, to playing baseball at a Major League level is an incredible feat. He is definitely an inspiring person off the field. It's just too bad he hasn't figured out how to hit out of the infield yet. " Again, you can follow Katie and her adventures with the MLB Fan Cave tryouts on Twitter, or Instagram for some pretty neat pictures. 8. 15 YEARS, AND STILL MISSING HARRY! Did you take part in the annual toast to Harry? Unfortunately, I was on my way home from work during the "official worldwide Toast to Harry", but I showed my love for Yarac Yrrah in the blog I wrote last night. Be sure to check it out and post your name backwards in the comment box! 9. LET THE GAMES BEGIN! The first Spring Training game will be this Saturday at 2:05pm. WGN Radio will cover the game against the LA Angels. Here is a complete Spring Training schedule with broadcast information.

The snow is still covering the ground outside. The wind is still howling outside my windows. However, in the four hours it took me to compile this post together, it brought me four hours closer to the crack of the bat I crave to hear, which, according to the schedule above, will be in 97 hours and 55 minutes… and yes, I am counting.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The nonstop rain of the afternoon let up for the Tri-State Area Sunday, but cold air was making its way in and the season's first major snowstorm could be coming later in the week.
An urban and small stream flood advisory was issued earlier Sunday for Hudson, Essex, Bergen, Union, and Passaic counties in New Jersey.
CBS 2 Meteorologist Elise Finch reported the rain totaled 1.56 inches in Islip; 1.27 inches in Old Bridge, N.J.; 1.2 inches in the city; 1.14 inches in Walpack, N.J.; and 1.1 inches in Peekskill.
The conditions earlier caused delays at Kennedy and Newark Liberty international airports. The Federal Aviation Administration said Newark experienced delays of 1 hour and 40 minutes Sunday afternoon, while high winds at JFK delayed flights by 1 hour and 47 minutes.
Travel times were back to normal late Sunday night.
Overnight, the temperature will drop to 34 degrees, and will top out at 38 on Monday, Finch reported. At midnight New Year's morning, the temperature will be about 21 degrees, but will seem colder with the wind chill.
And later in the week, even colder air with highs in the 20s will set the stage for the first major snowstorm of the new year, Finch reported.
There are two scenarios for the snowstorm that is expected on Thursday into Friday. In one scenario, a low-pressure system will set up to the south and strengthen rapidly, resulting in a significant snowfall for the Tri-State Area.
A second scenario places the low-pressure system slightly farther to the east and strengthening more slowly – resulting in a major snow event for New England, but likely just an inch or two for the Tri-State Area.
The forecast high for Tuesday is 35, Wednesday 31, Thursday, 29, and Friday 22.

Woodland Glade and Waterlily Pond
History and planting
In this part of Kew's Arboretum, oaks, hornbeam and beech trees provide shade and protection for young maples. The underplanted shrubs, including rhododendrons, camellias, magnolias and choice plants like Calycanthus sinensis, provide colour in spring and summer.
In the early 20th century, pollution took its toll on the Arboretum but since the 1970s the tree collection has been strengthened greatly. Emphasis is now placed on gathering material of known origin, preferably directly from the wild.
Kew staff have taken part in many collecting expeditions overseas including trips to South Korea (1982 and 1989), Chile (1985), China (1985 to 2003), Turkey (1989), Taiwan (1992) and Japan (1998).
Waterlily Pond
Close to the Woodland Glade on the south of Cedar Vista, the Waterlily Pond is a tranquil spot to take a rest. It is planted with waterlilies and irises, and bounded by shrubs such as peonies.
The surrounding trees include several young maidenhair trees (Ginkgo biloba), swamp cypress (Taxodium distichum) and an impressive dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides), one of the original introductions to the West.
The dawn redwood was only recognized in 1941 when a forester from the National Central University in Beijing, China, came across a strange new tree growing in a tiny village in Szechuan. Five years later, the tree was found to belong to the genus Metasequoia. It had hitherto only been known from fossil evidence dating back 100 million years, and was thought to have been extinct for five million years.
Wildlife inhabiting the pond includes nesting moorhens and coots, and emperor dragonflies.

Inaugural Meeting of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly took place in Brussels
Euronest is the Parliamentary component of the Eastern Partnership, which brings together the European Parliament and Parliaments of the Eastern countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, as part of the EU Neighbourhood Policy. Euronest was initiated in May 2009 by Sweden and Poland in order to give a representative body to the policy of the Eastern Partnership. It is composed of two bodies; the European Parliament, gathering 60 MEPs, and the delegations of the Eastern European Partner Countries, gathering 10 MPs from each of the five eastern partner countries. Belarus has been removed from the activities of the Euronest PA due to the contested political election in 2010, judged as flawed by the OSCE.
Its role is to contribute to the strengthening, development and visibility of the Eastern Partnership, as the institution responsible for parliamentary consultation, supervision and monitoring of the Partnership.

IDYLLWILD: Surplus of sleds, not snow, in mountains
Larry Donahoo can tell itâs a mild winter in the San Jacinto Mountains without peering out the big view window at his Village Hardware in Idyllwild.
He only needs to glance at his unsold inventory of sleds, tire chains, snow shovels and winter gloves. In normal winters, with snow falling every few weeks, he would have sold out his supplies of winter gear a few times.
He could sell a couple hundred sleds in a single weekend following a big snowfall. Not this year.
During this winter of scant snow, he still has unsold sleds and sliding discs left over from last spring. He sold a few sleds when snow fell in October. It seemed like a great winter was ahead. So far, October was more like the end of the snow season.
When the feared storm hit Idyllwild two weeks ago, several inches of rain, not snow, fell in the village. He only sold about a half dozen sleds to hardcore snow players who were willing to hike high above Idyllwild.
âWe probably have a few hundred sleds of different types,â Donahoo said. âWe expected to sell those and place orders for more.
âThat doesnât count the 80-odd sets of tire chains, dozens of snow shovels and who knows how many grosses of winter gloves. Weâre not seeing inventory weâve laid dollars out for move.â
Mark Moya of Hemet let me know that he was able to enjoy the snowfall in sunshine after the Feb. 28-March 1 storm cleared by scrambling up the steep approach trail to Tahquitz Rock, the popular climbing face high above Idyllwild. He found that about 85 percent of the ground was covered. He returned with nice photos.
Donahoo isnât complaining. Heâs busy selling non-winter items.
His customers are behaving like itâs not winter. Contractors, for instance, are ordering lots of lumber at a time when sales of plywood and 2-by-4s normally are slow. They are building during winter months
Cabin owners are doing spring maintenance work early. âWeâre selling paint and deck coating,â he said.
Despite the flurry of spring-like activity at his checkout counter, Donahoo still would like to see snow fall.
âIt would be nice to have storms for a couple of weekends between the nice weather,â he said.
I wrote about Moses Karimiâs Eastside Café that he designed on top of the Chevron gas station complex he built in Valle Vista, east of Hemet. The restaurant, which has incredible views, is closed for now.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
This morning I removed my Bold from the charger and wonder why the Bold was off.
After trying to switch on the Phone, the LED begins to flash "one pause three" times.
After a battery pull no changes of the behavior. Also without the battery, but connected via USB to a pc the Bold LED begins to flash.
JL Commander or loader /nojvm brings no change. The Berry was not recognized by the pc.
Greets Birger
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you plan on wiping and reloading the OS, JLCmder will be the way to go, and one of your only hopes to get it working.
Is there any error on the screen?
You will need to use JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:
If JL_Cmder does not work, follow this instructional:
Try it and keep trying it. I have seen it take 20 tries before JCCmder connected. Don't give up.
PIN: C0001B7B4 Display/Scan Bar Code
PIN: C0005A9AA Display/Scan Bar Code
Thank you,
but I follow the JL_cmder instructions before I post my question here, and yes I try it serveral times.
But Vista and / or JL_Cmder did not recognize the device.
Is there a information about the LED Code?
I get today from my provider a new replacement Bold, so I can mark this as "solved"
hi,,i am very curious about this particular flashing code (10111) as no one seems to know how to solve..Also why do bb's that show these symptoms never seem to be seen by the pc..???
I think it is impossible to solve by software ... I have 3 days trying whit all possible tools on the net and still the pc does not recognize the device ... I found in the web as a solution "try to replace flash!!! If anyone have some solution, please, post it to save my 8900.... thanks!
I've the same problem with a 9930, no matter what i do, the pc never recognizes the phone, with/out the baterry, always leds are blinking in the hexadecimal sequences, 10111, i need this phone fix!

9-Part Button Graphics for iPhone Game
- Status Closed
- Budget N/A
- Total Bids 19
Project Description
I have a successful game released for iPhone and Android, and I wish to change the buttons around. I have a basic rounded rectangular button, but I need a similar rounded rectangular button in a very clean form similar to Angry Birds or Cut The Rope. By 9-Part button, I mean the button is split into 9 parts (top-left corner, top-edge, top-right corner, left-edge, middle filling, right-edge, bottom-left corner, bottom-edge, bottom-right corner), in which I can alter the scaling and dimensions programmatically to fit different length words. The button will have an unpressed (navy blue) and pressed color (orange), so 18 total images. The shading and everything else is pretty much up to you, but here's the dimensions I want:
Corners: 32x32
Top & bottom edges: 96x32
Left & right edges: 32x96
Middle filling: 96x96
I'm a college student on a college budget, and I don't expect to accept any bids in the triple digits.

Good value & location.
Great friendly helpful staff and a fantastic clean and comfortable room In a great location!
Enjoyed our stay!...Convenient location.
We were in town for a memorial service and needed a nice clean, not too expensive place to stay. The TownePlace Suites fit our criteria! The staff was so friendly and accomodating! They even let us stay a little after check out due to the time of the memorial service. We will consider staying here again!
Great staff!! The room was perfect for two adults, one child and furry baby!! We had one queen and one sleeper sofa and it worked perfectly!! Will definitely stay again!!

There's plenty of buzz about materials other than steel because steel has been used for body applications for so long. But the steel industry is working so that its products will be anything but antique.
Building the Odyssey: Honda's Biggest Vehicle
One of Honda's philosophies is to build vehicles where they sell them and to provide vehicles that meet market demands. So now the company is bringing out an all-new minivan that's larger in every way than its previous model. And it built a new factory in Canada to produce the Odyssey. Here's a look inside.
HP is making it a whole lot easier to do high-tech, high-touch concurrent engineering. And more affordable, to boot.
World Class Vehicle Launch Timing: The Conclusion (Part 6 of 6)
The World Class Vehicle Launch series investigated the launch performance of five leading vehicle assembly firms operating in North America, and examined their past and future strategies. The companies reviewed in our analysis included Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Toyota, and Honda. We have collected monthly production data on vehicles (30 launches) launched by these companies in North America between 1992 and 1996. Although there were more than 30 launches during this period, our initial investigation focused on single product-single plant launches. In this, the final article, we will attempt to bring the information from the previous five articles together to provide some closing thoughts regarding the vehicle launch process.
How ERP Systems Must Meet the Challenges of Automotive Suppliers
The minimum daily core requirements for business systems used to be financial management, inventory control, order management, and production scheduling.
Although ABB may be known to some people because of the innovative management approach of the global company or as a leading builder of industrial robots, it is both—and more. It also offers a complete portfolio of painting technology. Here's a look at some of it.
Almost half the weight of steel, the most abundant metallic element on earth has made significant inroads into the automotive industry.
When Painting Two-Tones: Bag It
Great material savings can be achieved when high temperature-resistant bags are used for reverse masking in paint shops for getting two-tone paint jobs done. Here's how it is done.
By investing money in people (through education and training) and by equipping them with the technology necessary to do their jobs, the result is a benefit to both the individuals and to the company.

We loved this tour and Mary, our guide. She was excellent and did a great job of just giving us a great look at life in one of the older areas of Shanghai. We slowly strolled through some commercial and residential areas, she guided us through some of the shops, did local things like stopping to pick up a bag of local candy, etc.
March 2016
We loved this tour and Mary, our guide. She was excellent--very well prepared, very familiar with the area we toured, and a very friendly and charming personality. This is a very interesting view of every day life in Shanghai.
November 2015
The tour was excellent and very informative we enjoyed it very much.
Would highly recommend your company to friends and family
Thank you
September 2015
Our tour guide, Zoe, was great! I've spent a lot of time in Shanghai on business and even took time to 'tour' during previous visits. BUT, this was the first tour where I felt I learned, in detail, about how those who live and work in Shanghai actually live. We walked the communities different income levels, visited a realtor to learn about prices/space/location for apartments and homes, visited a variety of food stores to learn about the different types of food locals eat, learned about eastern medicine herbs and other sources for healing and health and even learned about how different people come to live in Shanghai school, work, government-incentives. Zoe not only explained everything that we were seeing, she was also able to answer any questions we presented. I took two 17 year olds on this tour with me and Zoe kept their attention. If you can request a tour guide for the morning tour, request Zoe!
June 2015
excellent tour we loved every thing about it, our guide Zoe was the best she explained everything so clear.
loved it so much and would use your company again if we come to Shanghai again.
April 2014
Excellent tour from start to finish. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing and hearing about the lives of the Shanghai residents. Tour guides pitched it right and kept me and my husband enthralled. It's a must to get off the tourist route and experience the real city.
March 2013
A personal tour around the alleyways with someone who has lived there, very informative although we felt intrusive to the people who lived there at times
January 2013
A really great opportunity to see part of Shanghai life that isn't usually accessible.Janny is an excellent guide.
September 2012

September 2012
Of all the tours we took this really explained the life and living conditions of the local people. We were right in the lanes and alleyways talking to the local residents. We did not want the tour to end. Don'T miss this tour.

The History of the Parquet Floor
The parquet floor that dawned the floors of the Boston Garden was as synonymous with the establishment as the Green Monster is with Fenway Park.
How did this oddly patterned surface come to fruition?
In 1946 Celtics owner Walter Brown funded the construction of a new floor for the team to play on. The floor, which cost about $11,000, was set in the Boston Arena (currently the Mathews Center home of the Northeastern Huskies).
The East Boston Lumber Company used scrap wood, originally cut in Tennessee for World War II purposes, as the material for the floor. The scraps used during a lumber shortage after the war were pieced together in an alternating pattern in order to get the most out of the material they had. When the Celtics moved to the Garden in 1952, the floor went with them.
Each of the 247 pieces were 5′ by 5′ and 1.5″ thick and they were held together by wood planks and brass screws that were connected by 988 bolts. In order to put the floor together, it took a team of many two and a half hours.
Many opposing players and coaches complained about the hodgepodge floor, as they claimed it had dead spots. Red Auerbach claimed the floor wasn't nearly as bad as the floor at Madison Square Garden, but he said that didn't stop him from using that notion to his advantage.
When the team moved to the Fleet Center in 1995, they brought the parquet with them. The floor was officially retired in 1999, as it was disassembled. Many of the pieces were sold as memorabilia and parts of it were integrated into the new floor.
When you think of the Garden, the picture of the mosaic floor immediately comes to mind. When you think of the Celtics and their famed decades of dominance, the famous plays that come to mind have the backdrop of the parquet.

I did not even finish reading the last email from Andrew to Joe. The flavor
of it as it started made me want to say something and then, many of you will
stand and cheer, I will probably not comment any more until after this is
over. But.............be forewarned, sometimes I can't stick to my guns but
I will try.
Whoever is given this election, they will find themselves in a position of
scrutiny. Of this I believe we will all agree. The economy is already on
the downslide and it is I believe because of poor earnings reports that are
coming in. This is an indicator that the economy is already starting to
turn around after the last eight years. Now I ask, is this Bush's fault?
If the 5 appointed democrat judges decide to count the pregnant chads, Bush
will probably not be our president. That is what I call stealing the
election. How many times have you started to push a button of some sort and
decided that was not the correct button? After all the handling how can you
possibly expect that a pregnant chad can be determined? This will be a
really sad moment in the history of America. Someone who cannot lose with
grace, he is probably not the first and will not be the last but he will be
remembered, he is already creating his legacy. If Bush manages to come
through after all this, he has already won after, is it 3 or 4 counts, will
you blame him if the economy is not as good as it was in '92 through '99.
Well blame all you want but it is will not be his doing whether the economy
is good or bad. If it is gore as president, and the economy is good or bad,
who is he going to credit or blame? I personally hope we never know this
last statement.

Getting you more information on this room
drug infested prostitute hot spot call corporate office and have this place shut down
people up all night cars in & out doors open and closing people hanging out all night long rooms are dirty looks like haven't been clean in years front desk people look stoned drunk or high themselves
The smell of the room was overwhelming. I stayed is a smoking room, but it smelled like the room had never been cleaned. The dresser had a drawer that was completely broken. There was a hole in the wall behind the door. The TV was over 20 years old and had a loud whine to it once it was turned...
The Property was in "Okay" shape. The pool was closed. The shower/tub drained poorly. The parking lot seemed to have very high drug activity at night, The pet fee was a lot higher then other, nicer hotels we have stayed at.
We got into Denver really late and already had a reservation at this "hotel". I was feeling lucky since the signs said that they were entirely full which meant our other option would be sleeping in the car. We were exhausted and there was really no other place to stay. Apparently we werent so lucky! Fairly certain we will all...
While this stay was adequate, in the sense that there was running water, a bed, and a TV in the room, my room smelled like urine. I also didn't feel particularly safe at this location. The lone staff member at the front desk also didn't answer my first call to request a wake-up call, and there was no alarm clock...
"All the same"
"Avoid this hotel at all costs!"
"Don't go there !!!"
"Go some where else and spend the extra for a more cleaner and nicer place."
"Go somewhere else... anywhere else."

It seems as time goes on there are more and more requests for corrections, additions, links, and transfers. I am more than happy to do this; however it does take time. In the past I have asked for people to email their requests to me. FAG has recently found a way to make this process easier and faster for both of us. Please use the edit tab on EACH memorial that you wish me to take action on. I will check it periodically and with one click I can make your requests come true.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. My only other request is that these memorials are treated with respect.

Len Stubbings takes vegetables seriously. Running a hand through his white beard, he has been peering at a plate of white potatoes for nearly half an hour.
Few people can have shown such an interest in the root vegetable since the Irish potato famine, but Mr Stubbings has a reason to be thorough. He is one of eight judges who gathered at yesterday's National Vegetable Society championship to decide which Britons had grown produce worthy of being declared the best in the country.
Pulling a tape measure from his briefcase, he says: "I've been judging for nearly 20 years, but this is the first day they've let me judge a national. It's great to get the chance to handle such fine vegetables."
The championship, which was held this year in a corner of the Dorset County Show in Dorchester, is the most competitive day in the vegetable-growing calendar. Those not convinced of just how cut- throat the world of cultivation can be need only look at Torquay. An outbreak of vegetable vandalism last week saw prize pumpkins, carrots and other ready-for-show produce destroyed in the dead of night at the town's Southparks allotments – all for the love of a rosette at a local contest.
Thanks to the week's events, the society was keener than ever to ensure that yesterday's judging was seen to be thorough and fair. For Barry Newman, show manager, this strip-lit marquee is his fiefdom.
Standing at the head of the prize table wearing a club tie bearing a leek-and-onion coat of arms, he wants nothing short of hushed reverence while judging takes place.
"You're going to have to be quiet," he whispers, as I walk through an unambiguous "Keep Out" sign to watch the judges keep score.
Casting a concerned glance at the earnest men pondering rows of vegetable perfection, he insists that "the judging process must not be disturbed", before thrusting an inch-thick green rulebook into my hand and ushering me towards a seat.
Leeks, according to the book, should be "tight-buttoned, non-bulbous, turgid and with no sign of ribbing". They must also reach a minimum length of 14 inches and have a "substantial girth".
To qualify for a voluntary judging position, you must first learn the entire society's rulebook, and then pass a 90-minute written exam, as well as a two-hour practical. But to become one of the prized eight who preside over the final you have to work your way up through years of village, county, then regional shows.
It is no surprise, then, that the men, each armed with a tape measure and – most importantly of all – a rulebook, are finding it difficult to make a decision. "Oh no, not those carrots. There's a lump in the shoulder and these ones are much better for kinkiness," says Clarence Thomas.
His colleague disagrees. After peering at a row of carrots for 35 minutes, Gerry Edwards utters the alarming words: "They are much of a muchness." He then begins another round of sniffing, peering and prodding.
But if passing judgement on the nation's produce seems a complicated affair, that's nothing compared to winning a rosette. Any of the NVS's 2,500 members can enter the national contest, but it is only a self-selecting group of hardline growers who can tolerate the late nights and ritual tending required to win a coveted trophies.
"It's a very small proportion that are up to the standard needed for the nationals," explains Mr Newman. "Normally, all the entries are at that level, but occasionally you'll get entries from people who don't know what's required; just look at that set of white potatoes over there." And there is indeed one plate of potatoes whose skins are distinctly brown and speckly.
After three hours of intensive examination, the judges are finally ready to announce their decisions. Prizes range from £100 for first place to £5 for fifth, but after all the time and money invested in growing and driving their produce across the country, pride is the main thing at stake.
When the show director gives the nod, the trestle table is moved from the doorway and the eagerly awaiting entrants file in to see the results of their labour scored and ranked.
Andrew Jones is disappointed. He got just two hours' sleep after driving from the Welsh border yesterday evening, in time to set out his 19 exhibits, and not one has come first.
The 38-year-old sheep-shearer, who travels to the championships every year with his mother, said: "I got quite a few seconds, but no firsts, which is a shame. I really hoped my shallots would make the cut."
Yorkshire postman Graeme Watson, 49, took home the most coveted rosette of Best in Show for his parsnips. "When I started entering contests I never thought I'd get this far. After nine hours of driving and five hours' laying out my veg, it's all been worth it."

text: Interest charges General interest charge General interest charge (GIC) applies if the Division 293 tax due and payable amount remains unpaid after the due date. The due date for various Division 293 tax due and payable amounts is as follows: for due and payable liabilities attributed to accumulation interests – 21 days after the Commissioner gives the individual their notice of assessment. for due and payable debt account discharge liabilities – 21 days after the end benefit becomes payable. GIC does not apply to the deferred Division 293 tax debt account. Find out more: For more information on GIC, including the process you need to follow to apply for a remission of GIC, refer to the General Interest Charge fact sheet. Shortfall interest charge Individuals may be liable for shortfall interest charge (SIC) on any additional amount of Division 293 tax resulting from an amendment of a Division 293 tax assessment. SIC applies to amended due and payable Division 293 tax liabilities. Due and payable Division 293 tax liabilities are liabilities attributed to accumulation interests and to deferred debt account discharge liabilities. Find out more: For more information on SIC, including the process you need to follow to apply for a remission of SIC, refer to the Shortfall Interest Charge fact sheet. End-of-year interest Where the payment of a Division 293 tax debt has been deferred, the deferred amount will be held in a debt account with us. We will apply end-of-year interest to that account. The rate will be the long-term bond rate as at 30 June for that financial year. Once the interest has been posted, a statement of account will be issued to the individual to provide a record of the current balance of the debt. Individuals can ask for a remission of the end-of-year interest (whole or any part) by asking us. We will consider your request and may remit if: an amended assessment causes a deferral reversal a deferral determination is varied or revoked, or special circumstances exist. Individuals should make your request for remission in writing, describing all the facts and circumstances relevant to your situation. Last modified: 07 Dec 2016QC 36275

Being Gay, Being Christian (1 Volumes Set)
Full Product Description
The primary aim of this book is to explain to gay or same - sex attracted people that they can be both gay and Christian - that the two are not mutually exclusive. The calm authoritative voice of science and scholarship, explains that gay people are neither sick nor sinful. Author Stuart Edser threads his own extraordinary story throughout the text, using this and his experience as a clinician to guide his thinking. At the end, he presents an alternative model of Christian discourse to that which we usually hear and offers a positive voice so often glaringly absent from the Church's utterances on homosexuality. He argues passionately for church people everywhere to open their minds and show a willingness to discard older ways of thinking where more modern explanations elucidate the truth more closely.
Being Gay, Being Christian (1 Volumes Set) by Stuart Edser was published by ReadHowYouWant.com Ltd in November 2011 and is our 59683rd best seller. The ISBN for Being Gay, Being Christian (1 Volumes Set) is 9781459631960.

>I had understood this phenomenon to be an accepted operating

>characteristics on the same chromosome may change their
>relationships by mechanical changes in their relative locations.
Crossing over is common during meiosis when homologous chromosomes
pair. However, during mitosis homologous chromosomes do not normally
pair, and as far as I know no one has ever seen cells undergoing
mitosis where there was visible homologous chromosome pairing.
Somatic crossing over has been demonstrated in yeast, a few fungi and
fruit flies using very special conditions in which to detect the
crossing over. However, it takes CONSIDERABLE effort to demonstrate
this and even then the rate of crossing over is VERY low and ususally
needs to be induced by irradiation.
>4. its explanation as a causal factor for sports is pure theory, not
>based upon fact, without proof of any kind.
I seriously doubt that there are any variegated hostas that are the
result of mitotic or somatic crossing over. The possibility that this
can be a cause of variegation isn't zero, but it is pretty close to
Where Ben makes his error is that he is thinking in terms of single
cell organisms. We have to remember that Ben is a yeast geneticist,
NOT a botanist. In a yeast, which is a single cell organism, IF you
do have a mitotic recombination, one daughter cell gets the recombined
genotype and you end up with a twin sector. For example, take a very
simple hypothetical example where you have a genotype Rr where RR or
Rr gives a red colored colony while rr gives a yellow colored colony.
Now, if you get mitotic crossing over so that you get daughter cells,
one of which is RR and one of which is rr, you will end up with a
colony that is half red and half yellow. With a single cell organism
like yeast you only have to worry about a single cell.
Where Ben is making a big error is in not understanding that a hosta
is a multicelled organism. Not only is mitotic crossing over VERY
rare, but in a multicelled organism it has to occure in a cell where
the results can be observered. It makes little difference if a
mitotic recombination for leaf color takes place in a root cell. Lets
assume that we have a yellow leafed hosta with genotype Yy and lets
assume that we do get a mitotic recombination such that a daughter
cell ends up with genotype yy, green leaves. Well, unless that cell
undergoes further mitotic cell divisions we probably won't even be
able to see the ONE green cell. Even if it does undergo further cell
divisions all we most likely would see at best is a spot of green on a
yellow leaf. To be able to get a mitotic recombination to result in a
L1-L2 chimera variegated plant would require the recombination to
occure in an apex meristem cell, or close enough to the apex cells to
form a mericlinal chimera that could later be converted to a
preclinical chimera.
Now, if Ben has done any research on mitotic crossing over in hosta I
wish he would present his results to a peer review scientic journal.

THIS is the moment an excited Afghan soldier dropped the lid of the hallowed
FA Cup — and bent it.
The laughing local recruit lifted the trophy above his head after playing a
friendly match at a British Army base, where the Cup was on tour.
But the lid of the famed silverware, to be contested by Stoke City and Man
City in Saturday's final, clattered to the ground behind him, drawing gasps
from soldiers and visiting England legend Stuart Pearce.
Horrified officials then found the Cup's iconic pointed crown had been bent at
a crazy angle. FA chiefs and Army officials assessed the damage in depth
using an MRI scanner at Camp Bastion in Helmand province.
The hi-tech image revealed a serious bend — but Army technicians ruled the
trophy could be repaired.
England U-21 boss Stuart, 49, celebrated by posing for jokey pictures with
squaddies and the kinked Cup, which visited Camp Bastion during a goodwill
tour to show soccer's support for our armed forces.
An onlooker said: "The Afghans had played their Irish Guards trainers and were
thrilled to lift the Cup — but one got a bit carried away. It was quite a
shock when we saw the state of the lid."
An FA spokesman said: "The damage looked pretty bad, but thankfully wasn't too
serious and has been repaired in time for the final."
The trophy — the fourth since the Cup kicked off in 1871 — was made by
London-based Toye, Kenning and Spencer and has been in use since 1992.
