Toronto. While the city lacks the charm of Montreal and Vancouver, it's still an incredible city to visit with tons of markets, ethnic food, wonderful art museums, funky bars and speakeasies, and delicious Asian food (so much great Asian food). Although Toronto has a higher cost of living than most other Canadian cities, there are many free and low-cost activities that can make this an affordable place to visit. It's also one of the most multicultural cities in the world. The more I visit the more I love it. It's perfect for 3-4 days!
Typical Costs
Hostel prices – Dorm rooms begin at 25 CAD and private rooms start around 55 CAD. Free WiFi is standard, and a few hostels even offer free breakfast. For a city of six-million people, there are surprisingly few hostels so be sure to book in advance during the summer months, as that is when tourism is booming. If you have a tent, there are a few campgrounds outside the city (though they are not very convenient to reach). Expect to pay 20-30 CAD for a camp site, with most campgrounds closed for the winter.
Budget hotel prices – You can expect to spend an average of 85 CAD a night for a twin/double, though don't expect anything fancy. You wont get any noteworthy amenities until you reach the three-star level, though WiFi is standard. If you book your stay in the fall and springtime, prices tend to be cheaper. Airbnb is a great option all in the city, as well, with shared accommodation going for around 30 CAD per night. If you want an entire home or apartment, you'll be paying closer to 75 CAD per night. Again, prices will be higher in the summer so be sure to book early!
Average cost of food – If you are going to cook your own food, expect to pay between 50-90 CAD per week. Eating out will cost you an average of 19-24 CAD for an entree and drink, though at nicer restaurants it will be at least 32 CAD. Cheap, on-the-go-meals cost around 9 CAD. The super cheap eats are hot dogs which cost about 2.50-4 CAD depending on your sausage preference (most vendors have veggie dogs, too!).
Transportation – Fare for public transportation is 3.25 CAD for adults and 2 CAD for students. A day pass is available for 12 CAD and a weekly pass 42.25 CAD for adults, 33 CAD for students. Taking the shuttle from the airport will cost 12 CAD, though if you have time you can take the regular city transit bus, which will take much longer but is a fraction of the price. Bike rentals are available in the city, though they are not that cheap. Expect to pay 20-35 CAD per day.
Suggested daily budget – 75-85 CAD / 55-65 USD (Note: This is a suggested budget assuming you're staying in a hostel, eating out a little, cooking most of your meals, and using local transportation. Using the budget tips below, you can always lower this number. However, if you stay in fancier accommodation or eat out more often, expect this to be higher!)
Money Saving Tips
- Free activities – With plenty of free museums and beaches to choose from in every part of the city, you can see the sights easily without spending a lot of money. The local tourism office will have a list for you.
- Get a City Pass – Tourists can purchase a City Pass for 72 CAD that includes admission to the ROM, CN Tower, Casa Loma, Ontario Science Centre, and the zoo. If you plan to do all of these things, you'll save a lot of money with this pass.
- Take a free tour – The Heritage Toronto Walks are free and are offered from May-October each year. They're a wonderful way to learn about the city, and you don't have to make reservations.
- Use Airbnb – Airbnb has taken the city by storm, and you'll have an easy time finding budget accommodation. Shared rooms in the heart of the city can be found for as little as 40 CAD. You can find entire apartments for as little as 100 CAD.
- Save money on rideshares — Uber is way cheaper than taxis and is the best way to get around a city if you don't want to wait for a bus or pay for a taxi. The Uber Pool option is where you can share a ride to get even better savings (though you can get your own car too). You can save $15 off your first Uber ride with this code: jlx6v.
Top Things to See and Do in Toronto
- Visit the CN Tower – This iconic 550m tower is a fixture of the skyline. You can head up to the top to get panoramic views of the city, shopping, and 360-degree dining in its (expensive) restaurant. If the weather is accommodating (and you have a lot of extra money to spend) you can also walk along the exterior edge of the tower.
- Hockey Hall of Fame – Canadians take two things seriously: hockey and hockey. Hockey is life. Dedicated to the history of their favorite sport, it is both a museum and a hall of fame.
- Spend the day at the beach – The beaches near Lake Ontario are a relaxing way to spend the day during the summer. You can stroll along the boardwalk, eat at one of the many restaurants, or rent a boat and head out on the lake.
- The Harborfront Center – This area is a great spot to visit during the warm summer months. There is often free admission to Toronto festivals and music concerts.
- Kensington Market – This bohemian hub offers an eclectic mix of alternative restaurants and shops. It gets quite bustling in the summer, and they often have free concerts too.
- Bike the Don Valley – These trails are perfect for any outdoorsy travelers. They aren't far from the city, and trails range from easy to very hard.
- Go ax throwing – If you're looking for a unique way to spend an afternoon, this is it. You'll compete against your friends in an axe-throwing tournament that will make a game of darts seem like child's play. They even have an axe-throwing league! Don't worry – you don't need to bring your own ax (but you can!).
- The Art Gallery of Ontario – Known as the AGO, it houses thousands of pieces worth of art. It's one of the biggest museums in Canada, and admission is free on Wednesday nights.
- St. Lawrence Market and Gallery – This market has endless rows of local treats to taste and buy. Go inside the building to take a look at the gallery. Admission to both is free.
- Toronto Island Park – Spend an inexpensive day at Toronto Island Park and enjoy the beach, play volleyball, and dip your feet in its wading pool. Also here is the Gibraltar Lighthouse which has a museum that highlights the history and myths of the area.
- Royal Ontario Museum – This museum holds thousands of artifacts, and specimens, which are featured in over 20 exhibits, including Dinosaurs, Ancient China, Native Canadians, Canadian Furniture, Medieval Europe, Art Deco, Ancient Egypt, Textiles, Middle East, India, and Pacific Islanders. The world's largest totem pole, which is over 100 years old, is also housed in a place of honor.
- Ontario Science Center – Lots of hands-on science exhibits, including a rainforest, a tornado machine, sound proof tunnel, balance testing machines, and more. It also contains Ontario's only Omnimax movie theater.
- Eat Chinese food – Chinatown in Toronto is gigantic and still retains a lot of the authenticity that's missing in many other Chinatowns around the world. Definitely visit here and eat a few meals—they are delicious and super cheap. This is also the best place to get Asian fruit that is not normally found in local supermarkets.
- Steam Whistle Brewery – Starting at 10 CAD you can take a tour of the brewery, which includes a sample of their famous pilsner. Tours operate on a first-come, first-served basis on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
- Casa Loma – This is the former estate of Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, an entrepreneur and romantic. Touring this real life 'medieval' castle is awesome. There are four levels to check out through a self-guided multimedia tour.
- Canada's Wonderland – Filled with rides, coasters, food, games, shops, theaters, a water park, and live shows, this summer attraction is loads of fun. Tickets start at 42 CAD for a 1-day pass, and you can save money by buying online in advance. Be sure to arrive early as the park fills up quickly in the summer!
- Catch a ball game – Toronto's major league baseball team, the Blue Jays, have been doing quite well in recent years and their fan base has exploded. Nose-bleed seats at the Skydome (officially known as Rogers Centre) can be found for quite cheap, making this a great activity for sports fans.
- Word on the Street – Every September, usually around the 24th, Queen's Park is host to Canada's largest annual, outdoor book and magazine festival. You can browse through hundreds of books, magazines, and literacy exhibitor booths.
- Toronto International Film Festival – Toronto plays host to the stars every September, so if you're in town be sure to grab tickets—there's a good chance you'll see some great films, and you might just bump into a star, too!
- Winterlicious – Every year during Toronto's WinterCity festival, several restaurants offer special menus of high-end meals at a majorly reduced price. This event is great because it allows many the opportunity to try gourmet foods that are usually expensive. Plates range from 10-40 CAD, and are typically multi-course dinners. There is also now a summer version, aptly titled Summerlicious!

Analysis of the Level of Agreement between Different Measures of Disease Flare in an Exploratory Study of Abatacept in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

This Phase II exploratory trial of abatacept used BILAG A/B flare (adjudicated per protocol) as the primary endpoint1. Post-hoc analyses examined other BILAG and physician- defined flare measures.
This was a double-blind, Phase II study in which SLE patients with active polyarthritis, serositis and/or discoid lesions were randomized to abatacept (~10 mg/kg) or placebo (PLC) for 1 year. Prednisone (30 mg/day or equivalent) was given for 1 month, then tapered by protocol. The primary endpoint was new adjudicated BILAG A/B flare (classic BILAG index)2 over 1 year after the start of steroid taper. Post-hoc assessments included BILAG A only flare (adjudicated), or physician-defined flare in response to the question 'Since the last visit, does the patient exhibit symptoms of an acute SLE flare?' (yes/no). Treatment modifications were recorded on visits when physician-defined flares occurred. Analyses are based on data for all randomized and treated patients.
118 abatacept and 57 PLC patients were assessed. Proportions of patients with >=1 BILAG A/B flare, BILAG A only flare or physician-assessed flare, respectively, were 79.7, 40.7 and 63.6% for abatacept versus 82.5, 54.4 and 82.5% for PLC. In the abatacept group, physician's assessment agreed with BILAG A/B flare in 71/165 (43%) cases: when the flare definition was restricted to BILAG A only, agreement occurred in 23/33 (70%) cases (Table). Most BILAG-defined flares that physicians did not rate as flares were B events (84/94 in abatacept-treated patients). 45.8% of physician-assessed flares occurred when no BILAG A/B flare was recorded. In instances where physicians recorded flare, BILAG A/B flare coincided with treatment modification the majority of the time (49/71 [69.0%]). Results in the PLC group were similar to abatacept.
Cross-tabulation of the presence/absence of flare according to BILAG and physician-defined measures
These data demonstrate some discordance between BILAG adjudication- and physician-determined flares. This may be due to: a) BILAG flare rules being based on an item worsening after improving at 2 prior visits (to avoid recording non-significant fluctuations in disease severity), whereas physicians may have recorded worsening irrespective of prior visits; b) physicians recording flare when items were the same over 4 prior weeks (not just when new, or worse after improving); c) the classic BILAG index may fail to capture some flare features detected by physicians. Some BILAG A/B flares occurred when no physician-defined flares were recorded; BILAG flares were more likely to be confirmed by the physician when restricted to BILAG A, suggesting increased ability of BILAG A to define events that physicians considered significant. These data provide valuable insight into issues encountered when assessing flare in clinical trials of SLE, and may help inform future trial design.

It's hard to think of many actors from the past few decades who were one of a kind, but Robin Williams was truly a performing force unlike anything that's ever existed. No one will ever be able to fill his now sadly empty shoes. The fact that his life was taken in such a lonely, horrific fashion after a long struggle with depression only makes this loss more tragic. For now, however, let's focus on how Williams lived as apposed to how he died. What a life he lived and what an unparalleled career full of laughs, inspiration, and flubber he's left behind. In honor of this great talent, here are my five personal choices for his best performances in film.
5. "Dead Poets Society"
"Dead Poets Society" is one of those movies that I should unconditionally hate as it has so many frustrating clichés, i.e. rebellious kids that want to be free, adults that just don't understand, and a sanctimonious teacher who goes against the social norms. Despite having so much going against it story wise, Peter Weir's wonderful film is a surprisingly inspirational feat and a lot of that is because of Williams. In a performance that established once and for all that he wasn't just a comedic genius, but a serious dramatic actor too, Williams plays John Keating. He's your dime-a-dozen inspirational teacher archetype who pushes his students to seize the day and make their lives extraordinary. On paper, Keating might come off as too self-righteous, if not manipulative. Regardless, Williams takes this fairly conventional archetype we've seen a million times before and morphs him into a charismatic, rousing, and believable leader. Had another actor been given the role, you might have a hard time rallying behind this familiar character. With Williams acting as Keating's vessel, though, you'd passionately follow this teacher in a heartbeat. It's too bad Williams couldn't make this archetype work as well in the panned, yet inexplicably successful, "Patch Adams." As far as his work in "Dead Poets Society" goes, though, Williams will have anybody standing on their desk chanting, "O Captain! My Captain!"
4. "Mrs. Doubtfire"
Movies that center on men having to dress up like women couldn't possibly be more hit and miss. For every "Some Like It Hot" or "Tootsie" there's a "White Chicks," "Sorority Boys," "Juwanna Mann" or "Big Momma's House" trilogy. In "Mrs. Doubtfire," Williams manages to pull off what Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Dustin Hoffman had done so miraculously in their iconic drag performances. Williams realized that it wasn't enough to just look like a woman. He knew for this material to work, he had to convince us that Mrs. Doubtfire was an actual person with an identity of her own. After watching this character for a while, you don't see Williams anymore. You don't even see Daniel Hillard, the man pretending to be this Scottish nanny in order to get close to his children. You just see the kindly Mrs. Doubtfire in the flesh. Heck, if you walked into the film halfway through with no prior knowledge of the story, you likely wouldn't even realize that's Williams under all that Oscar-winning makeup. It's also quite seamless how Williams is able to so convincingly jump between being two different characters in a matter of seconds, but we all knew that's what he was best at. Only four months ago, it was announced that Williams would be reprising his role as Mrs. Doubtfire after more than two decades. Although the project hasn't been officially cancelled yet, it's impossible to imagine the studio moving forward without the man who made this project a success. It'd be like doing a sequel to "The Mask," "Dumb and Dumber" or "Bruce Almighty" without Jim Carrey ... oh wait...
3. "The Fisher King"
There are a few different ways you could interpret Williams' character in "The Fisher King." He plays Parry, a disturbed homeless man who lost his wife and sanity in a terrible shooting. Now the delusional Parry treats the city of New York as if it was a magical kingdom and he is its king, collecting trash off the street like treasure. Williams interprets the character as a cartoon that has run off a cliff, but keeps charging through the air instead of glancing down and falling. It's easy to look at this man and say, "What a sad, deranged soul who needs serious psychological help." However, you could just as easily find it encouraging that a man who's lost everything can still seek out true beauty in every dark corner of life, even if he is being chased by repressed inner demons. You can have a very similar debate about Parry's relationship with Lydia, a quiet, socially awkward woman he's been following without ever directly approaching. On one hand, Parry could come off as the creepiest, most uncomfortable stalker on the planet. On the other hand, Williams' wide-eyed, childlike innocence makes us believe that this man is 100 percent sincere about his feelings for this woman. Because of this, the audience has no trouble buying into their bizarre relationship. We all know Williams could be funny and inspiring, but the "Fisher King" reminds us that in his own unique way, he could also be quite romantic.
2. "Aladdin"
Among all the Williams memes that have popped up on the Internet these past days, none have packed a more emotional punch than Aladdin telling the Genie, "You're free." It is admittedly hard not to get choked up by this imagine, not only because this might have been Williams' most famous movie role, but because the role perfectly summed up what made this comedian one of a kind. Robin Williams was a magical, animated genie that could change into anything or anyone with a snap of the fingers. The marriage of Disney animation and Williams' improvisations was a true match made in heaven, creating a character that felt more alive than most live-action characters. Williams' performance was such a game changer that many critics speculated he would become the first actor to merit an Oscar nomination for a voice-over performance. While Williams wasn't nominated that year, he did receive an honorary Golden Globe for "Aladdin." His performance would further alter how audiences view voice-over performances and how studios market the talent behind animated features. Thanks you, Genie, for the huge impact you've had on all of our lives. We'll never have a friend quite like you again.
1. "Good Will Hunting"
We see great performances in film every year, some of which even go on to win Oscars. There are some performances, however, that ascend to another level of greatness. Watching this actor accept the Academy Award for this particular performance, you're left feeling nothing but satisfaction and relief. Such is the case with Williams' Oscar-winning performance in "Good Will Hunting." In another role nobody else could have possibly played better, Williams breathes life into Dr. Sean Maguire. He's a college professor who has been saddled with the task of helping Will Hunting, a brilliant mind with repressed issues holding him back from greatness. We've seen Williams play wise mentor characters like this before. What makes Sean Maguire more interesting that somebody like John Keating, though, is the fact that he's far from perfect. Yes, he's knowledgeable and understands how life works, but at the same time is harboring a significant deal of loss and pain. This makes him the perfect person to guide Will, amounting to not only one of the finest performances in all film, but one of the best friendships too. Williams embodies the kind of friend and teacher we would all love to have in our lives, somebody who often knows the right thing to say and when to say it while also leaving room for you to think for yourself. Based on his stand-up and public appearances, Williams himself seemed like a person who always knew the right thing to say. Given how his life ended, however, it would seem that Williams was finally at a loss for words. Now everyone has been left speechless, not knowing what to make of this tragedy. All that really can be said is that we've lost a juggernaut of talent who won't be forgotten any time soon, especially because of performances like this.
On another note, I just realized that the last time we see Williams on screen and the last time we see Mickey Rooney on screen will be in the third "Night at the Museum" movie. Don't know how to feel about that...

Moshi Chuuya was a bushi and magistrate of the Mantis Clan.
Training Edit
Chuuya was one of the rare Moshi without magical abilities. She was accepted in the Tsuruchi Magistrate school. [1]
Station Edit
Chuuya was appointed at Houritsu Mura and distinguished herself well among the magistrates there. [2]
Service in Dragon lands Edit
In 1170 Chuuya led a small command of archers into the lands of the Dragon Clan on orders from late Otomo Hoketuhime. They were tasked with removing bandits, [1] as the Tengoku's Justice or the lord known as the Son of the Moon. [2] In the road to Toi Koku she and her companions Tsuruchi Fuyu, and Tsuruchi Masako began the mission killing several brigands. The Dragon, led by Mirumoto Jairuzu, saw this as an unwarranted incursion into their territory [1] and tried to detain the Mantis detachment. Two Dragon were killed in the ensuing skirmish, but no Mantis were killed. Chuuya reported her success back to her superior, Moshi Kalani. [2]

Companies could do a better job in securing wireless networks
April 11, 2006
According to the DTIs latest Information Security Breaches Survey (ISBS), many British companies are releasing new technology without fully ensuring they have strong security devices to seriously decrease the many risks of attacks through their new IT systems.
The findings published last week also suggest that many smaller organisations are not doing enough to fully secure their e-commerce web sites.
The survey revealed that the number of unprotected wireless networks halved in the past two years, but one in five still had no security controls, and half of respondents said they implemented voice over IP (VoIP) systems without evaluating the security dangers.
"Like wireless networks, [VoIP] offers fairly limited security controls by default, so it is worrying that half of firms implemented it without considering the risks," said Chris Potter of PricewaterhouseCoopers, who led the survey. " When new technology emerges, people are very quick to get the business benefits, without considering the potential downsides."
Though 90 percent of online businesses said protection of customer data was the strongest justification for security spending, less than two-thirds of sites for financial transactions encrypted incoming data.
"While it is easier to set up internet-based businesses now, a certain level of technical knowledge and investment is required, but a minority of smaller businesses are still learning these disciplines," Potter said.
Ed Gibson, chief security officer of Microsoft UK, said the report showed that firms are getting better at securing their networks, and technology is helping by being "more secure by default".
"E-commerce looks very bright, Gibson said. The report highlights continuous education and awareness [building], and we mustn't forget the [many resources] firms can go to if they are unsure.
The full results of the survey will be released at the InfoSecurity Europe event in London in a fortnight.

Slow posting these days, I know...Why do teachers get summers off, many businesses and corporations take half Fridays (or whole Fridays), and yet for those of us in non profits the calendar never slows down? Grants and reports are still due, programs still run, and the girls we work with still need our support.
Yup-- I am whining. But, the point of all of this is that my posting has been almost non existant. Luckily for everyone, the women over at Feministing are still hard at work. Check out their interview with Katina Paron at Children's PressLine-- youth media rocks, of course! Katina is a powerhouse who keeps youth generated media in all kinds of outlets. SWOON! And she is completely hilarious-- I met her at a birthday party recently (HI Suzanne and Nicole!) and stayed much later than intended, in part because Katina is a total riot.

Where are the counters saved in 4.3. My .counters.txt shows 10000+, but the new version page now shows far less visitors.
Also, has anyone found a way to add a facebook badge to the footer?
Where are the counters saved in 4.3. My .counters.txt shows 10000+, but the new version page now shows far less visitors.
Also, has anyone found a way to add a facebook badge to the footer?
There are some who have hacked the code to add these kinds of features, but what is the real purpose of adding FB to genealogy? Don't your friends and relatives (and employees) waste enough of their and your time with social media already? If your relatives are not interested enough in their (and your) ancestral history to participate in your tree, will making it FB friendly help? I doubt it, and you simply add more overhead to an already outdated code base.
My suggestion. Work on making the main/home page an interesting, welcoming and informative place. Include media, but keep it clean, without complicated charts, or random media, or upcoming events. Write a story about why you have the site and what it takes to join in the fun of expanding your family tree. That will do much more than a FB badge and the bots will like it more too and spread the word about your work.
Schema 13 moved hit_counter from text file to db:
"Version 13: Move the hit-counters to a database table"
The hit counters are maintained in the pgv database in table pgv_hit_counter (assuming you used the default prefix for your database during setup). I assume you are looking for the GedCom hit counter which can be found by searching for page_name = index.php and/or page_parameter = gedcom:# where # equals the number of the Gedcom if you have multiple gedcoms.
Trust this helps, no help on facebook icon. Facebook may have down-loadable code which can be inserted to provide a Facebook 'Like' link. The footer.php file is found in the theme directory your site is using
Radioace: Thanks for the direction - got it.
Stephen: Philosophical as ever… I had the FB badge at the bottom of the page as an experiment in the last version. I was adding the Piwik code - which I find very helpful, and decided to try the FB badge. It seemed to generate a small amount of social intercourse, and I hadn';t decided yet to continue it. The FB badge download code is incompatible with the new version, however I now note the simpler solution for the Piwik, Clustrmap & Google Analytic codes, but just looking at options - prob more of a learning exercise than anything else.
Thanks all.

It didn't take long for Jabri Mack to get the hang of casting afishing line Thursday morning.
Within mere minutes of throwing his fishing line into Duck Pond atthe Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, the Glynn Academy studentreeled in his first fish of the day.
He held it up, and with a big smile, took a picture.
Without hesitation, he threw his fishing line back into the water inthe hunt for more fi sh.
"I'm going for 20," Mack shouted.
The excitement Mack felt was shared by the other dozen studentsfishing alongside him during the 15th Annual Two-Way Sport FishingClub's Special Olympics Fishing Rodeo.
In total, an estimated 200 kids from Glynn County schools and theMorning Star Baptist Treatment Center caught fish during the event.
Fishing wasn't the only activity available to students at FLETC,which hosted the event for the 11th consecutive year. At the baseballfield, students played kickball and softball, jumped in a bouncy houseand had the opportunity to get their faces painted.
But it's the fishing that produces memories for participants, saysMike Evans, a FLETC employee who coordinated the event.
"The teachers tell me that of all the events they do, this is theone (students) remember year after year," he said. "They like (and)they enjoy (other activities), but this is the one they talk about allyear long."
"All of them catch fish, and they have great time," he said. "It'sjust a good thing."

This was the first B&B of our honeymoon, and it set the bar really high! It's no surprise this is the #1 B&B in L.A. Do yourself a favor and stay here. Now, for some specifics ....
First, the room is amazing. We had the Terrace Room, which is basically a huge, nicely decorated and comfortable room connected to a large outdoor terrace. It was a little chilly when we were there so we couldn't take full advantage of the terrace, but the setup was awesome and we loved the space.
The hosts, Bob and Ahuva, make the stay. They are awesome. I hope they don't take this the wrong way, but they reminded us of Billy Crystal and his wife from the Princess Bride ... so much energy, extremely outgoing, and constantly picking on each other .. hilarious. They really did make us feel comfortable and welcome in this home.
Breakfast ... delicious. Good, fresh ingredients and lots of variety including fresh fruit, eggs, salad, pastries. My only comment about breakfast is that Bob & Ahuva aren't necessarily the most punctual hosts, so if you're in a hurry or need to be somewhere early, make sure you leave enough time in the morning!
The location is great. The B&B is close (within a 10 or 20 minute drive) of just about everything you'd want to see or do in central L.A. There's also a lot to see and do within walking distance, and it's a nice walk (~5-10 min) through the neighborhood to quite a few restaurants and bars. We found it kind of odd that there didn't seem to be a main strip or area where you could bar hop or walk between restaurants ... everything seemed a bit more spaced out. So before you venture out on foot, make sure you have a plan for where you're going!
A few other random comments ...
- Parking was a breeze .. plenty of street parking, and Bob will give you a tag to hang in the window so you don't get a ticket.
- Free cookies and candy!!
- Use of a separate kitchen, which is nice if you want to make something quick yourself, plus the use of a coffee maker, fridge, etc.
All in all, this was a wonderful stay and I'd highly recommend to anyone traveling in the LA area. Thanks so much Bob and Ahuva for such a great B&B!

Walt Disney Co. Worth An Investment Post The Double Whammy?
- Walt Disney posted a rare earnings miss during its latest earnings call.
- The company missed on both top and bottom line estimates.
- Is Walt Disney worth an investment after the double miss?.
Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) earning misses are usually few and far between. The company's latest earnings call happened to be one of these. After nine consecutive quarters of meeting or exceeding earnings expectations, Walt Disney delivered a double whammy during Q2 FY16 earnings call after posting both top and bottom line misses. Disney reported revenue of $12.97B, good for 4.1% Y/Y growth but below the consensus on Wall Street by a huge $220M. Non-GAAP EPS of $1.36 was 11% higher than a year ago but still $0.04 below the consensus. On a GAAP basis, Disney posted EPS of $1.30, a year-over-year increase of 6%.
That marked the 11th consecutive quarter that Disney delivered double-digit growth in adjusted earnings. Meanwhile, the company's Studio Entertainment segment continued to dazzle as expected after posting a 22% and 27% growth in revenue and operating income, respectively. That impressive performance was driven by blockbusters such as The Force Awakens, which Disney said had grossed close to $2.1B in global box office while Zootopia had racked up $960M making it Disney's second-highest grossing animation film of all-time.
ESPN Disappoints, but...
But the impressive performance by the Studio segment could not save the company or Disney stock from the wrath of investors, which has tumbled 7% since. Once again all eyes were on Walt Disney's pivotal Media Networks, and specifically ESPN. Media Networks recorded a revenue decline after posting revenue of $5,793M compared to $5,810M in the previous year's comparable quarter. The decline was caused by lower cable revenue, specifically a 13% decline in ESPN ad revenue which Disney chalked up to the shift in timing of the bowl games from Q1 2016 to Q4 2015. It's also important to note that Disney had already warned investors about the adverse effects of the games during the quarter.
ESPN has for long been the bone of contention for Disney bears. ESPN has been losing subscribers in tandem with most cable TV services, and the bears have for long argued that it was just a matter of time before the segment found itself in a revenue tailspin. But it's very important to note that ESPN's latest revenue decline was not tied to subscriber loss. Disney said that adjusting for the shift in timing of the bowl games, the segment would have posted a 3% revenue growth. In fact, Disney added that ESPN revenues for the current quarter were already pacing 5% higher versus the prior year.
Disney's claims seem to be supported by ABC. ABC, Disney's smaller cable service, managed to post 5% growth in ad revenue. But perhaps one of the most encouraging trends that emerged from the Media segment results is that affiliate revenue climbed 5% after adjusting for adverse forex effects. Affiliate fees refers to the money that cable TV service providers such as Comcast -A (NASDAQ:CMCSA) pay for rights to use its network channels such as ESPN and ABC. A cross-section of Wall Street analysts had been worried that Disney's affiliate fees were in danger of hitting a plateau after having been on the rise for years. ESPN commands much higher affiliate fees than its cable rivals.
Source: Forbes
Disney is expected to increase ESPN affiliate fees by about 10% in the current year so the outlook for ESPN this year is quite good.
Meanwhile, Disney plans to open more theme parks both at home and abroad. The company's Park and Resorts segment is its second largest revenue segment and posted a 4% and 10% growth in revenue and operating income, respectively.
Investors though will not stop worrying about ESPN any time soon despite the fact that Disney's Studio segment has continued to be a stellar performer. Luckily the near and mid-term outlook for the segment appears to be quite good. Investors should take advantage of the latest selloff in DIS stock to open new positions.

Earle Birney, the most influential writer in Vancouver during the 1950s and 1960s, concluded his satirical poem "Can. Lit." (1947), with "no Whitman wanted / it's by our lack of ghosts / we're haunted."
These twenty-five demarcations are an attempt to generate some ghosts. Vancouver is a city with a particularly vibrant literary culture; twenty-five designated sites is only a beginning.

No. 1 Al Purdy
LOCATION: at the foot of Woodland Drive in East Vancouver (between East Hastings and East Pender Streets).
Here poet Al Purdy worked parttime for P. Burns & Co., a meat processing plant and stockyards business (slaughterhouse) built in 1906 and demolished in 1969. His experiences at the plant are included in the poem Piling Blood (1984). Much earlier, Al Purdy had ridden the rails to Vancouver from Ontario. He later developed important friendships with Vancouver-based writers Earle Birney, Margaret Laurence and George Woodcock. The industrial and working class history of the DTES is reflected in this memoir/poem set in an area that has long housed workers and the unemployed in SROs.
And the blood smell clung to me
clung to clothes and body
sickly and sweet
and I heard the screams
of dying cattle
and I wrote no poems
there were no poems
to exclude the screams
which boarded the streetcar
and travelled with me
till I reached home
turned on the record player
and faintly
in the last century
heard Beethoven weeping
EXTRA: Dominic Burns, brother of Patrick Burns of the meat-packing empire, built a slaughterhouse in 1906/07 in Vancouver. It was torn down in 1969. The man in charge of the demolition said it was the toughest building to destroy he had ever seen. The brick walls were 36 cm (14 inches) thick. Patrick Burns was a Canadian rancher, meat packer, businessman, senator and philanthropist. A self-made man, he built one of the world's largest integrated meat-packing empires, P. Burns & Co., becoming one of the wealthiest Canadians of his time.
No. 2 Malcolm Lowry
LOCATION: Haywood Bandstand, 1755 Beach Avenue @ Bidwell Street
Malcolm Lowry felt chronically estranged from Vancouver and abhorred its antiquated liquor laws. In his Under the Volcano, the most famous novel ever written in British Columbia, he offhandedly refers to Vancouver as a place "where they eat sausage meals from which you expect the Union Jack to appear at any minute." During his fourteen years in the Lower Mainland, mainly in North Vancouver, he briefly resided at three West End locations resulting in this poem, Lament in the Pacific Northwest.
They are taking down the beautiful houses once built with loving hands
But still the old bandstand stands where no band stands
With clawbars they have gone to work on the poor lovely houses above the sands
At their callous work of eviction that no human law countermands
Callously at their work of heartbreak that no civic heart understands
In this pompous and joyless city of police moral perfection and one man stands
Where you are brutally thrown out of beer parlors for standing where no man stands
Where the pigeons roam free and the police listen to each pigeon's demands
And they are taking down the beautiful homes once with loving hands
But still the old bandstand stands where no band stands.
EXTRA: A few steps from English Bay and the seawall in Vancouver's West End is the Edwardian-like Alexandra Park. One of its landmarks is the Haywood Bandstand, a 1988 restoration of the original 1914 Queen Anne heritage structure. Developed around the turn of the 20th Century, this green space was originally known as English Bay Park. On July 26, 1911 the park was renamed Alexandra after Queen Alexandra, Britain's King Edward VII's consort. The bandstand was first built in 1914. Lowry's poem uses the bandstand as a symbol for the joyless, Puritanism of Vancouver in the 1940s.
No. 3 Ethel Wilson
LOCATION: Kensington Place, Beach Avenue at Nicola Street
Born in 1888, Ethel Wilson was Vancouver's most respected novelist for several decades. In 1921 she married Dr. Wallace Wilson and they lived here in Kensington Place, Apartment 42, where she encouraged upcoming writers Margaret Laurence and Alice Munro. In her autobiographical story, The Innocent Traveller (1949), Wilson celebrates lifeguard Joe Fortes and his swimming lessons for children at English Bay, the poet Pauline Johnson and Siwash Rock in Stanley Park. She later lived in an apartment on Point Grey Road. Wilson spent her final eight years in the Arbutus Nursing Home where she died in 1980. B.C.'s top fiction award is named in her honour [The Ethel Wilson Prize for Fiction]. Her two best-known novels are Hetty Dorval and Swamp Angel.
No. 4 D.M. Fraser
LOCATION: 4394 Main Street
D.M. Fraser lived above Morris' Second Hand Store at this location in an apartment dubbed the Vancouver Least Cultural Centre (a parody of the Vancouver East Cultural Centre, a popular venue for theatre and music). Fraser's friends often gathered here for private literary readings. He became a semi-legendary, semi-underground figure – the brilliant, soft-spoken, alcoholic writer who spent much of his time in seedy bars, writing late-night, sentimental reveries – during an era when some of his essays appeared in the Georgia Straight under the editorship of Bob Mercer. Escaping as far west as he could from the conservatism of his Nova Scotian upbringing, Fraser became a vital component of the Pulp Press collective that has given rise to Arsenal Pulp Press, the Three-Day Novel Contest and Geist magazine. Class Warfare (1974) and The Voice of Emma Sachs (1982) are his two major books.
No. 5 Joy Kogawa
LOCATION: Livestock Buildings, PNE Grounds
After the bombing of Pearl Harbour, Japanese-Canadian citizens were gathered and temporarily housed here by provincial authorities prior to the confiscation of their property and internment in B.C.'s interior towns during World War II. Joy Kogawa, born Joy Nozonie Nokayama in Vancouver in 1935, later wrote her novel, Obasan (1981), the most famous book about the incarceration. It recalls how the resolute endurance of the narrator's aunt, "Obasan," protected the narrator as a little girl in a camp at Slocan. The first writer to present the story of the Japanese-Canadian evacuation en masse was Hubert Evans with his drama No More Islands (1942). Joy Kogawa House is preserved in south Vancouver at 1450 West 64th Avenue.
No. 6 Peter Trower
LOCATION: Alcazar Hotel, corner of Dunsmuir & Homer
Peter Trower, one of B.C.'s finest poets, drank here often in the 1960s with Milton Acorn and John Newlove when the Alcazar Hotel was a favoured hangout of writers and students from the nearby Vancouver School of Art. Trower lived in the Alcazar on numerous occasions during the period when he was a logger. The Alcazar opened in 1913 and was demolished seventy years later. Peter Trower wrote Alcazar Requiem (1983). This is a segment:
Wind whitecapping the inlet-
rain like a whipping string-
Sea-Bus bucking and dipping-
behind us -the Alcazar, dead as a doornail.
Landmark of brick and lumber
soon to be sundered and tumbled
in a rattle of empty rooms
all of the ghosts going down in a heap.
The bar where we tippled and quipped
safe in our roles and phases
in a circus of empty chairs
the clowns are gone with a vanishing giggle.
No. 7 George Bowering
LOCATION: Cecil Hotel, 1336 Granville Street
As the closest pub to UBC, the Cecil Hotel at this location attracted a literary crowd in the Sixties, many of whom were associated with the TISH poetry movement promulgated by professor Warren Tallman. Most noteworthy was George Bowering, who later became the first Poet Laureate of Canada. "Well, there was the early Sixties crowd of college guys," Bowering recalls. "Then there was the late Sixties to late Seventies crowd of writers and hangers-on, and it was known across the country that we started on pub night about 10 pm, when the kids left. One night even Susan Musgrave came, and she tipped over a glass of beer and we told her the convention was that she had to buy a round. And that night we had five tables lined up. But we told her we were only kidding. Roy Kiyooka would come. Gladys Hindmarch. Dwight Gardiner. Brian Fisher. George Stanley. Brian Fawcett. Peter Huse. Stan Persky. Gill Collins. Mike Barnholden. Gerry Gilbert always snuck his own food in. Maxine Gadd." TISH member Dan McLeod devised the name for the newspaper he now owns, Georgia Straight, over beers at the Cecil with Michael Morris and Glen Lewis in 1967. The Cecil Hotel closed in 2010 after 101 years of operation, having evolved into a strip club in the mid-1970s.
NO. 8 Douglas Coupland
LOCATION: former Vancouver Magazine headquarters, Richards & Davie
In 1987, Douglas Coupland had a solo sculpture show at the Vancouver Art Gallery called Floating World and he began describing his own 'twentysomething' generation for Vancouver magazine, an urban lifestyles magazine edited by Malcolm Parry, at this location. Having written a few Budget Gourmet reviews for the Vancouver Sun, Coupland worked for Western Living magazine as a staff writer before his stint with soon-to-be-defunct Vista magazine where he revisited the realm of his magazine article on Gen-X as a comic strip. Coupland was subsequently contracted to write a non-fiction 'handbook' on Generation X. Eventually Coupland went to Palm Springs and completed his breakthrough novel Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture, rejected by 15 Canadian publishers and 14 American publishers before it appeared in March of 1991.
EXTRA: It is often erroneously suggested the Coupland took the term Generation X from a Billy Idol song. Untrue. "The name comes from Paul Fussell's book Class from the 1980s," Coupland says, "where he postulates the existence of an 'X Class' at the book's end. I think I've said this hundreds of times since 1991 but I think it takes too long to say and people write the wrong thing." On 6/30/2014, Doug Coupland also wrote to Alan Twigg: "The old Vancouver magazine offices were at the corner of Richards and Davie. I started working there a few months after Vancouver's sex laws changed, and Vanmag's corner suddenly became the de facto tranny corner — sex workers are quite territorial. In the middle of the day I'd be working, and then someone out the window in a curb-length fox coat would open its flaps and would show me panties. My studio then was down the street on Hamilton, and at 5:00 tumbleweeds would blow through, and the neighbourhood became a ghost town. My studio space ended up, 25 years later, becoming the cigar smoking room at Cioppino's. I guess the point of all of this is remembering what Yaletown used to be like compared to now. Driving through it in 2014 feels like I'm on another planet. I'm not nostalgic for the way it once was -- it was interesting but dumpy -- but I am a bit nostalgic for an era when change in Vancouver wasn't so massive and so fast. We're one of the few cities left on Earth that has yet to become what it will ultimately be. This is liberating and adventurous, but I like remembering the ghosts, too."
NO. 9 W.P. Kinsella
LOCATION: Former residence, #1607, 1188 Howe & Davie
W.P. (Bill) Kinsella lived here in a condominium in the late-1990s. His short story called Shoeless Joe Jackson Comes to Iowa was the basis for his novel, Shoeless Joe, which, in turn, became the basis for the 1989 Kevin Costner movie Field of Dreams. He is credited with giving the world the phrase, "Build it and they will come." In fact, the phrase in the movie is, "If you build it, he will come." Kinsella often ate at the nearby A-1 Café on Granville and he liked to hang out at the Vancouver Public Library where he wrote parts of several books. Kinsella had three one-act plays produced at the Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island while he was living in White Rock: Thrill of the Grass, The Night Manny Mota Tied the Record and The Valley of the Schmoon, circa 1988.
NO. 10 Lee Maracle
LOCATION: False Creek (aka Snauq), beneath the Burrard Bridge
In her story 'Goodbye Snauq' which appeared in West Coast Line in 2008, Lee Maracle recalls the area that is now mis-identified as False Creek in Vancouver. While incorporating the lamentations of Chief Khahtsahlanho, who decried the loss of First Nations land and food supplies to real estate appropriation and pollution, Maracle writes, "Khahtsahlano dreamed of being buried at Snauq. I dream of living here." Born in 1950 and raised on the North Shore mudflats, Lee Maracle, of Salish and Cree ancestry, is a member of the Stó:lo First Nation. She became one of the first Aboriginal writers in Canada to publish fiction with her groundbreaking synthesis of autobiography and fiction, Bobbi Lee, Indian Rebel (1975).
EXTRA: "If you are Aboriginal," she has said, "you'll face what has happened to you and find some way to reconcile yourself to it, and if you are not Native you will face what was done to us and find some way to reconcile yourself to it personally. I think that's what story does anyway. That's what my hope is."
NO. 11 Wayson Choy
LOCATION: Former headquarters of the Jin Wah Sing Musical Association, West Pender, beside Chinese Times (Jin Wah has since relocated to 434 Columbia Street, Vancouver, BC V6A 2R8)
Wayson Choy emerged foremost among Chinese Canadian fiction writers for his novel The Jade Peony (1995), an inter-generational saga about an immigrant family, the Chens, during the Depression. Born in Vancouver in 1939, Choy was the only son of two working parents. He was cared for in a variety of Chinese Canadian households in the Strathcona neighbourhood, dreaming of becoming a cowboy. He grew up being told his absent father was a cook on a Canadian Pacific ship. Choy often attended Chinese opera with his mother and became the first Chinese Canadian to enrol in a creative writing course (taught by Earle Birney) at UBC. There he began writing a short story set in Vancouver's Chinatown that turned into his best-known novel, The Jade Peony, some 30 years later. The Jade Peony won both the City of Vancouver Book Award and the Trillium Award in Ontario.
NO. 12 Emily Carr
LOCATION: Emily Carr School of Art
In 1942, B.C.'s most revered artist, Emily Carr, became one of the first of two British Columbians to win the nation's foremost literary prize, a Governor General's Award, for her collection of nineteen "Indian" stories, Klee Wyck, written "for the pure joy of reliving and travelling among the places and people I love." With the assistance of Ira Dilworth, regional head of CBC, her debut was to be called Stories in Cedar but it was changed to Klee Wyck, a named accorded to her in Ucluelet on a sketching expedition—meaning 'Laughing One.' Published when Carr was sixty-nine, her first printing of 2,500 copies sold out. Also in 1942, Anne Marriott of B.C. won the Governor General's Award for poetry.
NO. 13 Eric Nicol
LOCATION: Walk of Fame, Vancouver Public Library Square
In 1995, humourist Eric Nicol fittingly became the first writer to have a plaque of B.C. marble installed in the Walk of Fame to commemorate winners of the annual George Woodcock Lifetime Achievement Award for an outstanding literary career in B.C. A Province columnist for five decades, Nicol received three Stephen Leacock Medals for Humour for his books; he became the first living Canadian writer to be included in The Oxford Book of Humorous Prose; and he was the first Vancouver playwright to have his work produced by the Vancouver Playhouse, as well as on Broadway in New York. A shy man, he lived for more than fifty years in the same house on 26th Avenue, near UBC.
NO. 14 Margaret Atwood
LOCATION: 3886 West 11th Avenue
One of Canada's foremost authors, Margaret Atwood, lived here in 1964-1965 while working as a lecturer at UBC. "It was a wonderful breakthrough year for me," she has recalled. "In it, I finished writing The Circle Game and wrote all of the draft of The Edible Woman... The people who gave me the most support were [writer] Jane Rule and [English professor] Helen Sonthoff… I loved the entire year and the only reason I didn't stay was that I felt I had to go back and complete the work for my Ph.D or I would always be an academic floorscrubber." Margaret Atwood returned to Ontario and has since published more than forty books.
NO. 15 Rudyard Kipling
LOCATION: Corner of Pender and Homer
The most enthusiastic reception for any writer in Vancouver was accorded to Rudyard Kipling when he addressed an overflow audience of 500 people at the Acland-Hood Hall, aka Pender Hall, on October 7, 1907. Women were not invited to the newly-founded Canadian Club event. The racist Kipling compared Vancouver to the head of an army bravely passing through the mountains "to secure a stable Western civilization facing the Eastern sea." Kipling had been so pleased with Vancouver and its prospects that he had purchased a lot in the Mt. Pleasant area on his wedding tour with Carrie Kipling, prior to embarking for Japan on his first visit to Vancouver in 1892, only to later discover many years later he had been swindled.
NO. 16 Al Neil
LOCATION: 2514 Watson Street, around the corner from Main & Broadway
This was the location of The Cellar, founded in 1956, as Vancouver's foremost jazz venue, where be-bop legend Al Neil fronted the house band, meeting and playing with some of North America's top jazz musicians. His best-known book, Changes (1975), recalls four years as a musician, artist and junkie on the mean streets of town from 1958 to 1962. Venerated as "one of Vancouver's bona fide underground warriors, a man with a following and a hermit's mystique," Vancouver-born Al Neil has been the subject of a documentary film by David Rimmer, a book by music critic Alex Varty and a one-man show at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1972. Neil grew up near Main & Broadway and never got over his horrific WW II memories of landing on Normandy Beach at age twenty. Although "the ceaseless nagging of invisible ghosts," led him to drug addiction, he endured, giving infrequent but memorable performances at the Western Front.
EXTRA: "If you play to the Creator," Al Neil said, "you don't need an audience. That's the way I've conducted my life. I've never expected anything."
NO. 17 George Woodcock
LOCATION: 6429 McCleery Street
Self-described as "a British Columbian by choice, a Canadian by birth," the England-educated anarchist George Woodcock was B.C.'s most prodigious man of letters. Here he lived as "a man of free intelligence" from 1959 to 1995 with his wife Ingeborg, raising funds for two charities they founded, Tibetan Refugee Aid Society and Canada India Village Aid, while writing and editing approximately 150 books. Here, as well, Woodcock edited Canadian Literature, the first publication entirely devoted to Canadian books. A friend and biographer of George Orwell, Woodcock became the first author to receive Freedom of the City from Vancouver City Council. After their deaths, the Woodcock's little house was demolished in order to generate their bequest of almost $2.3 million to the Writers Trust of Canada to support writers in distress.

A 21-year-old has pleaded guilty to one count of false report of a misdemeanor.
Halley Bass told the court that she made up a story about a man who attacked her and scratched her face in Ann Arbor, Michigan on November 15.
Mlive reported:
"I was suffering from depression at the time," Bass told Judge Elizabeth Pollard Hines. "I made a superficial scratch on my face. It was visible and I was embarrassed about what I'd done. So I made up a story and told a friend that a stranger had done it while I was walking. I was encouraged to report it to the police. I made the mistake of doing that.
Bass admitted to scratching her own face with the pin after becoming upset during a Woman's Literature class at the University of Michigan, according to the Ann Arbor Police Department report.
Bass and her Ann Arbor-based attorney, Douglas Mullkoff, requested that she be sentenced through the 15th District's mental health court. Hines said if court officials determine Bass is eligible, Bass will be sentenced by Judge Karen Valvo in that court on March 22."
Bass had claimed the attack was apart of supposed wave of hate crimes following the Presidential Election on November 8.
Can you imagine the outrage from the mainstream media if a conservative committed a crime like this?

If you wanted to buy a new Kawasaki, Motus, Suzuki, Triumph or Yamaha motorcycle at Martin Moto in Boyertown, Pa., on March 4th or 5th this year, you'd have been disappointed. While scads of Kawasakis, Suzukis, Triumphs and Yamahas packed the showroom, they were from years past and accompanied by marques like BSA, Bultaco, Greeves, OSSA, Velocette and that unicorn of racing motorcycles, Britten.
Every March for the past six years, the dealership's president, Dennis Martin, and his team have emptied the showroom and filled it with the bikes that changed motorcycling after World War II. According to Jack Broomall, manager of the Modern Classics exhibition, the bikes with the greatest appeal are "the bikes that made you a motorcyclist."
To most of Martin Moto's customers, those are the British bikes of the late '50s through the early '70s and Japanese machines from the mid-'60s through the '90s, although a bunch of American and European motorcycles are also included.
For those who want to see "the entire history of motorcycling," Broomall explains that it's relatively easy to go to a major motorcycle museum like Wheels Through Time in North Carolina or the Barber Motorsports Museum in Alabama. "But Martin saw an opportunity to specifically serve the bikes and enthusiasts of the '60s, '70s and '80s," he says.
In the first year of the show, the Modern Classics organizers didn't quite reach their goal of 100 bikes, but they still managed to stage their museum for a day and pack in more than 700 guests. As word of the show has spread, it's become easier to find bikes each year, so Broomall and his team are able to cast a wider net.
More than 100 bikes are invited, but because the weather is unpredictable in March, attrition will usually whittle down the final count. For 2016, though, the rain and snow stayed away, and 107 bikes packed the showroom. Attendance set a new high, with about 1,300 guests visiting the Friday night preview and the Saturday exhibition.
From the beginning, the Modern Classics show was carefully thought out. Dennis Martin sits on a planning committee along with Broomall, several other area enthusiasts and Joe Luppino, a professional photographer and part-time dealership employee. The committee not only locates and selects bikes, it also helps select the year's featured category, whether it's singles, twins or enduro bikes. The chosen category must be an integral part of motorcycling in the '60s through the early '90s and, says Broomall, "ideally it would expand the reach of our show by bringing in new enthusiasts."
One of the hardest parts of organizing any show is finding the bikes and owners; word-of-mouth and personal contacts are critical. Originally the bikes came from a relatively small local area; in recent years, they have come from as far south as southern Virginia, north to New England and stretch out to western Pennsylvania. Now, Broomall says, many of the exhibitors "look for us and for an opportunity to show off their pride and joy." For 2016, the committee pored through more than 200 applicants to select the best bikes for the show.
Another change regular attendees may have noticed was the show's scope creeping into the 1990s, an effort to more fully engage millennials.
To take the Modern Classics theme even further, in September 2015 Martin Moto began a Modern Classics Ride-In, which encourages owners of older motorcycles to use their bikes. BMW, Harley, Honda and Yamaha riders all converged at Martin Moto for cold drinks, grilled hot dogs and music.
While the business benefits of the Modern Classic events are difficult to quantify, the dealership now attracts clientele from greater distances and is building new relationships. As a result, the show and Ride-In are secure for the immediate future. However, it's unlikely that the Modern Classics show will get much bigger; the showroom is at capacity and can't handle many more visitors. There is, however, room for growth for the Modern Classics Ride-In, with plenty more parking for bikes and no need to shut down the showroom.
Both the show and the ride-in, Broomall says, serve as tools to build friendships within both the motorcycle enthusiast community and the broader community at large. Most important, the show and ride reinforce the idea that Martin Moto is a destination for enthusiasts and by enthusiasts.

Light Pollution Veneto
Published in Older news - News Features

Light Pollution
Regione Veneto in Italy approves a law promoting no upward-directed light!Regione Veneto was the first Italian region to enforce a law against light pollution in 1997. Being the first, the law had room for future improvement. One area that needed improvement allowed up to 3% direct upward flux from luminaries. After more than 10 years (and in the International Year of Astronomy) Veneto is substantially upgrading its laws and the new law now recognizes the importance of 0% upward-directed flux, as in ten other Italian regions, starting from the most populated one: Lombardy.

This is just the kind of amusingly off-center comedy now missing from NBC's lineup, one of those rare, delightful meshings of concept, cast and execution, with producer Tom Cherones providing inspired direction. Nothing is forced. [31 May 1990, p.F9]Los Angeles Times Full Review

It works. It's different. It's fun, offbeat and charming. [31 May 1990, p.5]Houston Chronicle Full Review
One weak link is fellow stand-up comic Michael Richards as Seinfeld's wacky neighbor. He isn't wacky or neighborly enough; it just doesn't work. But he's in the minority where "Seinfeld" is concerned. You may not convulsively guffaw, but you're bound to convincingly smile. Here's one that worked out just right.Washington Post Full Review
Seinfeld's gentle humor is easy to take. Unlike other current comedians, such as Andrew Dice Clay or Sam Kinison, Seinfeld isn't angry: He's more awed by the wonder of it all. [13 May 1990, p.13]Newsday Full Review
The writing - so thankfully different from the hammering rhythm of most sitcoms - comes from Seinfeld and Larry David ("Saturday Night Live"). [31 May 1990, p.C5]Seattle Post-Intelligencer Full Review
There are some who might be jarred by the format, seamless as it is. And still others might be compelled to argue that with this format one gets neither a sitcom nor a comedy show, but insufficient portions of each...But there is an intriguing honesty to this method, and, in its fashion, it shows how life's tiny travail can work its way into comedy club laughs. [31 May 1990, p.C4]Chicago Tribune Full Review
Lacking much in the way of attitude, the show seems obsolete and irrelevant. What it boils down to is that Seinfeld, likable as he may be, is a mayonnaise clown in a world that requires a little horseradish. [31 May 1990, p.3D]USA Today Full Review
