Fabulous food as usual. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely Fabulous... great tastes, great value. This place is casual, but always FRESH food, fast service..and always impresses my friends!
I've been going to The Green Tea since it first opened. I've introduced friends and family. We all love going there. The food is fresh, well cooked and presented.
Delicious food
I've been going there and taking friends and family for about 7 years, the best food always fresh and quick service, Tom is a gentleman.
I have eaten there many times and often take groups of friends there for dinner. The food is amazing and Tom and his staff provide excellent service. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Asian food.
Absolutely love this place!!! It is our go to place to dine out every time!! The food is amazing, the service is outstanding and we can't wait to come back!!
This was the second time I have been here and I cannot recommend the place more highly. The food is first class.
The food has always been amazing and great value for money here.. one of the better restaurants in China town.
My favorite restaurant in the valley. The service and food is awesome.
Twice now we have dined here when we have visited Brisbane On both occasions the service and food was fantastic. We were greeted by the manager on both occasions and nothing was to much hassle The portions were very generous and can not fault the quality of the food Would highly recommend this restaurant
Just had dinner here with our 2 small girls. Staff were on the ball, polite, playful with the girls. On to our every need immediately. The food was fantastic. Fresh and tasty. Absolutely nothing I could fault. We have been in Brisbane for a week and this by far was the best place we have eaten the entire trip.
Always fantastic service and food, staff are lovely and always in for a genuine banter to make the whole experience a memorable one. Been coming here for a few years now and can honestly say the dishes have always been excellent ! If I'd live closer, I'd probably be here every night for dinner !

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
Drilling for oil is a tricky affair. The equipment and drilling fluid (aka "mud") employed during the process must exert just the right amount of inward force to offset the enormous pressure within, but not so much that there isn't enough back-pressure remaining to eventually assist in extracting the oil. If this delicate balance is lost, things can go very wrong very quickly. That is precisely what happened on April 20th, a mere 40 miles off the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico. For a still unknown reason, a well drilled by Deepwater Horizon, a rig that BP (BP) was using, exploded and sank a mile to the bottom of the ocean.
Since then, according to some estimates, over 30 million gallons have gushed into the Gulf's waters, and there's no end in sight. BP's recent attempt to halt the flow by plugging up the hole with mud and debris was declared a failure after three days of efforts. Further, the current effort to cap the well and funnel oil to ships waiting on the surface may or may not prove successful.
Meanwhile, the damage appears to be going well beyond that done to the environment. Indeed, the U.S. economy has begun to feel the effects. Oil reached the Louisiana shore first, and now all fishing there, an industry worth $2.4 billion annually, has been halted indefinitely as precautionary measure to protect the public health. Alabama has now shut down all oyster harvesting. The closures so far represent nearly 40% of the Gulf's area, with potentially more to come. Those who make their living from the industry are rightly concerned that serious supply and demand issues could arise.
For example, roughly 10% of U.S. shrimp production comes out of the Gulf. Because of reduced supply, prices have risen as much as 50% in some areas of the country. Some of this increase very well may be due to distributors taking advantage. A number of consumer favorites, like tuna and swordfish, which migrate through the affected waters, may well be harmed. Certainly some of the slower-moving invertebrates, such as lobsters, crabs, clams, and oysters, which are simply not capable of "outrunning" the influx of harmful toxins, will be harder to come by. On balance, consumers should prepare for higher seafood prices.
Moreover, increased costs stand to crimp the profit margins of seafood buyers, like restaurants, many of which rely on the seasonally strong summer period to promote seafood dishes. Darden Restaurants (DRI), which owns Red Lobster, and Landry's (LNY), which runs a number of seafood chains, come to mind.
The governments of the Gulf states, of course, have a strong interest in supporting the local industry and are trying their best to prevent tainted seafood from ever getting to market. Closing fisheries is the first line of defense in this respect. The next course of action is to run interference between fishermen and their distributors. This week, fish inspectors from five Gulf states brushed up on their sniffing skills. While rudimentary, this method has proven extremely effective and time-efficient.
In addition to supply and pricing disruptions, seafood industry participants are concerned about a potential image problem. Consumers may spurn seafood after seeing one too many off-putting images of birds and other creatures covered in greasy sludge. This kind of negative sentiment could last for some time. Indeed, it took two years after Hurricane Katrina for people to recover their appetite for seafood. This kind of lengthy delay could easily cause some businesses to fail.

Senate Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
On November 9, the Senate Finance Committee released its version of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Senate Finance Committee press release stated the bill would provide "fiscally responsible middle-class tax relief by cutting tax rates across the board, reducing the tax burden on American job creators and modernizing our tax system."
The Senate Finance Committee release summarized the main provisions of their comprehensive tax bill.
The Senate Finance Committee release summarized the main provisions of their comprehensive tax bill.
- Tax Rates - There are seven brackets ranging from 0% to 38.5%. The top rate applies to taxpayers with income over $500,000 for single filers and $1 million for married couples. A goal of the bill is to provide tax relief for middle-income taxpayers.
- Standard Deduction - The standard deduction is nearly doubled to $12,000 for single filers and $24,000 for married couples. With this larger standard deduction, an estimated nine out of ten taxpayers will not itemize and may use a postcard tax return.
- Family Provisions - In an effort to help families, the Child Tax Credit is increased to $1,650. The Dependent Care Tax Credit and Adoption Tax Credit are both retained.
- Charitable Contributions - The permitted deduction for most donors increases from the prior amount of 50% of adjusted gross income to 60%.
- Mortgage Interest - A taxpayer may deduct mortgage interest on a primary residence with loans valued up to $1 million.
- Medical Deductions - If a taxpayer itemizes, he or she may continue to deduct qualified medical expenses.
- Retirement Plans - The existing rules for IRAs, 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans and other types of retirement plans are maintained.
- Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) - The tax credit for lower-income persons is continued.
- Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) - The AMT is repealed.
- Estate Tax - The bill doubles the exemption to $10 million plus indexed increases. A couple in 2018 could have a basic exclusion amount of $21.96 million.

A vinelord is a holy man that is one in mind, body, and spirit with God the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen. The term "vinelord" was first coined by a Rock Emperor in 1991 when reading a passage of holy scripture of the Saint James Bible, St John chapter 15 verse 5 "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." The Emperor published the word vinelord for the first time in his Internet World Directory in 1995, then launched his music crusade Great Glorious Grapevine in 2007. A Experimental Progressive Metal Rock Band with Fans as network marketing agents to empower the vinelord's world wide oneness of people and business, church and state, government with the God Head by way of ggg.io Internet World Directory.
Follow the vinelord to the wealth of heaven. See through the good works of action in response to the holy spirits whisper.

On this day in 1869, influential Wisconsin naturalist, John Muir penned these words in his July 19 journal entry in an effort to capture the experience of awakening for the first time in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California:
Watching the daybreak and sunrise. The pale rose and purple sky changing softly to daffodil yellow and white, sunbeams pouring through the passes between the peaks and over the Yosemite domes, making their edges burn; the silver firs in the middle ground catching the glow on their spiry tops, and our camp grove fills and thrills with the glorious light. Everything awakening alert and joyful…
John Muir,
Entry for "July 19" from My First Summer in the Sierra, 1911.
"California As I Saw It": First-Person Narratives of California's Early Years, 1849-1900
Courtesy of Library of Congress.
We at the Wisconsin Bed & Breakfast Association couldn't agree more! Our member inns are here to make daybreak a joyful experience. Not only will you be greeted with a delightful breakfast, but many times the grounds also offer spectacular opportunities to fully experience the wonders of nature. While our highest point (Timms Hill at 1,952 ft) is not exactly as awe-inspiring as the Sierra Nevadas, we believe sunrises at our 46 rural inns are definitely camera-worthy! Case in point: Crystal River Inn, Waupaca. Innkeepers Robert and Deb Benada got these great shots around their inn. To plan a getaway focused on bird-watching and nature preserves, we invite you to visit our birding map which will help you locate nearly 400 birding sites within 30 miles of one of our member B&Bs.

Last week, Microsoft unleashed a three-prong attack in which it revealed a major overhaul of the Windows UI, coming in next year's Windows 8 release. This includes a live appearance by Windows Head Honcho Steven Sinofsky at an industry conference, a professionally made video starring Microsoft UI Guru Jensen Harris, and a separate appearance at the Computex trade show in Taipei by Microsoft Hardware Lead Michael Angiulo.
Put simply, what Microsoft showed off was a shell, of sorts, which will sit on top of Windows 8, resembling the Windows Phone "Metro" UI, with colorful, dynamic tiles. It's called the Windows Start screen, is targeted at widescreen displays, and works equally well with traditional keyboard and mouse interfaces, kind of like Windows Media Center does today.
Mock-up of my personalized Windows 8 Start screen (enlarge)
The Start screen has touched off a delicious and exciting debate over whether this UI is the single greatest innovation that Microsoft has ever created, or the single worst mistake in the company's history since Bob.
Well, I have a newsflash for you. This UI is genius. And while I understand that, for many of you, the knee-jerk reaction is to disagree, perhaps violently so, all I'm asking for is a little patience. Because I think I can explain why this UI, improbably, is perfect for just about any computing scenario you care to name.
Let's jump in.
First, to frame this discussion, at least admit that computing is suddenly evolving very rapidly. And whether you agree that Apple's iPad is a big deal or not, just know that the Cupertino company has in fact jumpstarted a new computing category, something that can and will exist alongside traditional desktop and notebook computers for the foreseeable future.
I've been saying since last year that these two product lines—iPads/tablets and PCs—will merge over time. That is, the iPad and its copy-cat followers are going to evolve "upmarket" in that they will pick up more and more traditional PC capabilities over time and lean less heavily on the consumption side of the usage fence. Meanwhile, PCs will evolve "downmarket" (not really, but it's unclear how else to say this) and pick up the best iPad functionality: A simpler UI. Instant resume and single-digit second boot times.
Conventional wisdom has it that Windows is too big and bloated to make sense on a highly-simplified, device-like tablet. Without getting into the details of why this is ludicrous, I'll just point you to Ed Bott's argument against this line of thinking, which boils down to reminding people about the deep componentization works that has occurred in Windows over the past few releases.
More important, I think, is the argument that Microsoft would never—will never—give up its greatest strength, a long-running tradition of backwards compatibility. Unlike Apple, which can aggressively junk aging technologies and products as it moves inexorably forward to The Next Big Thing (tm), Microsoft has approximately 1.2 billion users worldwide, and many of them are corporate customers who demand that today's products work with yesterday's. This thinking has guided Microsoft's OS design over the years, of course. And it's happening again in Windows 8.
But here's the thing. I and many others have also argued, endlessly, that it's not possible to have a single OS, let alone a single UI, that works equally well across all hardware types. I mean, how silly is it to think that Microsoft, or any company, could come up with one UI that works on phones, mini-slates, tablets and Tablet PCs, netbooks, notebooks, and Ultrabooks, desktop PCs, media center PCs in the living room, and—gasp!—even servers? It's ludicrous, right?
The Windows 8 Start screen is that UI. Here's why.
Related Reading:
- Windows 8 Preview: An Analysis of the First Public Unveiling
- Windows 8 Preview: An Analysis of the Computex Announcements
- Mailbag: Windows 8 Special Edition
First, we already know that this UI is touch-friendly (i.e., will work on multi-touch slates, tablets, and displays), and will work equally well with traditional mouse and keyboard interfaces, supporting keyboard shortcuts just as Windows does today. But I don't think Microsoft has shown off all the possibilities here. I also think that the Start screen will work just fine with today's Media Center remotes and with the Kinect, offering users new (and in the latter case, "Minority Report"–like) ways to interact with gigantic HDTVs in the living room and in public speaking scenarios. It's brilliant.
Second, let's talk user types. Obviously, individuals are going to be all over this UI. But so will business users, since Microsoft will clearly allow corporations to control how (and whether) this UI looks and works, and while onscreen elements are allowed. Are you looking to limit some users to just a handful of work-related apps? Of course you are. And this will make that resulting environment simpler than ever.
What about IT pros and admins? Are you telling me that this new Start screen isn't a killer dashboard for managing the state of your environment? Can't you imagine the screen background changing color (green, yellow or read) based on the environment health? That those tiles wouldn't be ideal surfaces for instant reporting mechanisms, performance graphs, and the like? This isn't just a decent UI for that stuff, it's ideal.
Third, the underlying APIs that we know about so far are based on simple, common web standards such as HTML 5, JavaScript, and CSS. That opens up this environment to a far larger—and less sophisticated—developer base than would run based on more difficult .NET, Silverlight, and ASP .NET code. (Though I do expect that stuff to happen as well.) Microsoft has been trying to turn IT pros and admins into developers for years. But this is far more accessible than any of their previous efforts.
Fourth, as noted above, Microsoft cares about compatibility. And not only is Windows 8 compatible with exactly the same hardware and software as Windows 7—it will even have exactly the same or lower hardware requirements, Microsoft says—but the familiar Windows desktop is still there, hiding "below" ("alongside"?) the Start screen. (As are all the familiar applications, utilities, and services you know and love today.) The Start screen is additive. It doesn't take anything else away.
And this brings me to what I think is the single biggest point I can make about the Start screen. As its name suggests, the Start screen is not a replacement for the Windows desktop, or the Windows taskbar, but is rather a replacement for ... wait for it ... the Start menu. And it makes sense when you think about it. In Windows 95, Microsoft introduced the Start menu, and the changes we've see in Windows versions since have been largely evolutionary. In fact, the biggest change came in Windows 7, when Microsoft took some of the primary Start menu functionality—shortcuts and program launching—and moved them to the taskbar. With the Start screen, this evolution is complete: Now, instead of doing that stuff from the taskbar, it's done from the full screen.
But it's not just that: Those tiles are far more dynamic and expressive than any taskbar or Start menu icon. So, yes, you could tap the weather tile to launch a weather app, but the tile already displays today's weather plus a three-day forecast, so you probably won't need to. Yes, you could launch email to see whether there are any new mails, but the tile will tell you when one is available. And so on.
With the understanding that there is still so much more to learn about Windows 8—Microsoft promises further revelations all summer and then a BUILD developer show in September—I've already seen enough to be convinced. This new Start screen will work equally well across all the device types on which Windows works, and it will work equally well for all of the company's customer types too. Yes, you can turn it off if you want. But my guess is you won't want to. And if you can just get out of your old way of thinking, and stop being shackled by the way things used to be, I think you'll come around to this notion as well.
Windows 8 has been billed as the biggest change to Windows since Windows 95. And for once, I think, reality matches the hyperbole.

also defines whether unprotected backslashes are retained.
A &shellwords() replacement is included to demonstrate the new package.

Normally, a wet spring is not a harbinger of good for San Joaquin Valley cotton producers. Besides the potential for delaying planting, the unanticipated moisture can create improved conditions for Lygus.
But the signs that would normally spread fear and loathing among California growers do not appear to be manifesting themselves after unusual late spring rains delayed the planting of the Valley's 600,000 acres of Pima and Acala cotton crops.
"Those of you who have been around me very long know that I can sum up the Lygus situation very quickly: If the hills are green in May, prepare to pay; if the hills are brown, our hopes abound," says Peter Goodell, IPM advisor with the University of California Extension Service.
Speaking at the Pima Production Summit in Visalia, Calif., in late May, Goodell said he had not observed large numbers of hosts in the foothills that surround the San Joaquin Valley that some would expect after the spring rains.
"While the situation is somewhat complicated by the rainfall patterns and temperatures that occurred in late winter and early spring, it takes very specific conditions to produce a 'perfect storm' for early Lygus problems," he said.
Goodell displayed a "Lygus prevention triangle," a take-off on the old fire prevention triangle from Smoky the Bear days.
"It requires three things," he said. "You need available hosts, the proximity of hosts to your field and the cotton has to be susceptible. These pests won't have much effect if the cotton is already past the stage where Lygus can hurt you."
Alternate hosts may need to be closer to cotton than might be thought, according to Goodell. A recent University of Arizona paper indicates the source effect did not extend beyond one-fourth of a mile for forage alfalfa, about one-third of a mile for weeds and about one mile for seed alfalfa.
"This suggests that Lygus from even the most potent source, like seed alfalfa, travels no further than one mile," he noted. "The actual distance is probably dependent on their vigor and physical condition when they leave the host. Presumably, the average migration distance is a mile, not 10s of miles."
The most critical time for cotton and Lygus control is early season, he said. "What we talk about as bad Lygus years are the ones when they can come in early during the first fruiting period or pre-bloom. In years when late planting has occurred, the opportunity for compensating early losses is reduced."
During early season, fruit retention can suffer at relatively low population densities of Lygus (three to seven insects per 50 sweeps), especially in the first five to seven fruiting branches. "This is when you should avoid panicking and avoid the use of broad spectrum insecticides because we still have aphids and whiteflies out there and they can blow back on you."
Goodell says cotton producers may have caught a break with the good planting weather that finally arrived in late April and early May and allowed them to get back in their fields.
"Just because we're late doesn't mean we're at any particular disadvantage," he noted. "We had a very uniform, vigorous planting period. From my vantage point, I really think that helps with insect management because by putting together this three or four week planting period, decisions are being made simultaneously across a lot of fields.
"You don't have a guy with a wheat field over here where the bugs are coming off his, and another who's harvesting and driving insects out of his. These kinds of years tend to ideal for area wide pest management particularly if we maintain the growth pattern we have."
When Goodell spoke, mite and thrips numbers in the San Joaquin Valley had been low. "There seem to be more aphids in other crops this year than in the past, and we're seeing some other sort of odd bugs around," he said. "So aphids are one thing I would certainly keep my finger on the pulse on."
Whiteflies are the "wild card" in the system this year. Growers in Arizona and Mexico were hit hard by whiteflies last year while those in California saw little, if any, of the insects. "I really don't know if they could be a problem here this year, but this is another one you really want to watch carefully.
"The good news is we have some very effective insecticides to manage those pests."
Lygus have several key summer annual weed hosts they can develop on, but tarweed, short pod mustard and tumbleweed are some of the more significant ones, according to Goodell.
The questions growers have to ask are how long are those going to be there, how many generations can Lygus produce on them and how widespread they are and how wide of an area is it?
"This year small pod mustard is the weed of choice," he said. "You can find that all over the place. This yellow mustard looks like black mustard but blooms in May and June rather than during the winter or early spring. (Black mustard is a winter annual.) It grows mainly in patches along the roadside.
"I'm not seeing it growing anywhere close to where we're growing cotton. It seems to be in the southern part of the valley and in the northern part. The central part of the valley around Fresno, I'm seeing much less.
Tarweed, a yellow, sticky composite flower, can be found on roadsides, along rail lines and especially on rangeland on both rims of the San Joaquin Valley. It can bloom from May through July and can utilize soil moisture for a long period of time.
"Last year, we had tarweed all along the I-5 corridor," he said. "This year, I waited as long as I could to make a projection. I looked around, and I have just not been able to find tarweed. They're blooming so I know they're out there, but they're just not very widespread."
Goodell said fields near creeks, rivers or flooded areas might be at greater risk, but he did not expect severe infestations of Lygus in most areas during the earliest fruiting period for cotton.
"The more substantial threat will be mid-season with Lygus moving from crops and weedy crops into cotton," he noted. "As in most years, the crops bordering your cotton field will be the most significant source of Lygus. The movement into cotton will occur when these crops or their associated weed are no longer able to support a population, especially during July."
Goodell says growers and farm advisors should ask themselves the following questions:
What is in close proximity to their fields?
Are Lygus present in the source field?
When will the source be unable to sustain a Lygus population?
How susceptible will the cotton be when the populations moves?
"Regular, twice weekly scouting of cotton is the best defense for not getting caught by surprise," he said. "That and knowing what's in the fields around you."
Growers should also consider leaving uncut alfalfa strips during June, July and August to prevent wholesale movement of Lygus from alfalfa to cotton. "Alfalfa is the best reservoir for Lygus and, when managing any reservoir, it is unwise to release all the contents at one time."

Highlights: Whitecaps FC 4 - 0 Chivas USA
VANCOUVER, BC - Playing their first match in October, Vancouver Whitecaps FC (11W-12L-9D) extended their unbeaten streak in the league to three matches with an emphatic 4-0 home win over Western Conference rivals Chivas USA (7W-17L-7D) on Wednesday evening.
First-half goals by Gershon Koffie and substitute Dane Richards set the Blue and White on their way to a confidence-boosting victory. Camilo Sanvezzo and Barry Robson found the scoresheet in the second half, as Whitecaps FC earned their first four-goal result in Major League Soccer history on Bell Pitch at BC Place.
With the midweek victory, Whitecaps FC extended the gap between themselves and sixth-place FC Dallas to five points for the fifth and final playoff spot in the MLS Western Conference. However, Dallas have a game in hand. Vancouver's win also eliminated Chivas USA, Colorado Rapids, and Portland Timbers from MLS Cup Playoff contention this season.
After fine performances as substitutes last weekend, Rennie started Camilo and midfielder Matt Watson on Wednesday night. The Brazilian repaid the Scottish coach's faith in him by scoring a goal and adding two assists.
Whitecaps FC scored their match winner on 11 minutes with a fine left-footed strike from Koffie. Camilo's forward pass allowed Kenny Miller to break into the Chivas USA box, where he picked out the streaking Ghanaian with a fine pass. Koffie ran on to the ball and hammered his shot past Goats goalkeeper Dan Kennedy for his third goal of the season.
The joy that produced Whitecaps FC's early goal was subdued by an early substitution, as Miller was forced off with a right hamstring strain on 18 minutes, with Richards replacing him.
The Jamaican international proved a more-than-capable deputy for the injured Scot, as his pace caused the Rojiblancos many problems. He forced a fine save from Kennedy with an excellent turn and shot before scoring his fourth goal of the season on 35 minutes.
After doing well to win the ball on the right flank, Richards played a give-and-go with Camilo that released him in on the Chivas USA goal. As the winger fended off the attentions of Goats centre back John Valencia, Richards struck a right-footed shot past Kennedy from a tight angle to make it 2-0 to Whitecaps FC at halftime.
In an ironic twist, Chivas USA had the majority of the possession in Wednesday's match. Yet, what has plagued the Southern California outfit this season has been a lack of goal production. The Rojiblancos created half chances through Laurent Courtois and Juan Agudelo, but goalkeeper Brad Knighton was never tested enough in earning his second career clean sheet with Whitecaps FC, as well as the club's 11th MLS shutout of the season.
The second half saw Vancouver pick up where they left off and secure the three valuable points. Camilo and captain Jay DeMerit both missed the target shortly after the restart but those were just signs of things to come.

Vancouver's third goal came on 62 minutes. Robson found Richards in the Chivas USA box before the makeshift striker played a deflected cross into the path of Camilo in the visitors' six-yard box. The South American eluded Canadian international Ante Jazic to strike home his fifth goal of the season.
Whitecaps FC wrapped up the historic result with a well-worked fourth goal on 73 minutes. Young-Pyo Lee found Camilo at the halfway line before the striker split the Chivas USA backline and dashed down the right flank. With time and space, the Brazilian's cross found Robson at the far post. The Scot took a touch before striking home his third of the season.
The final whistle confirmed a much-needed win for Whitecaps FC, who ended their seven-match winless streak and went past the 40-point mark for the first time in their short history as an MLS club. Rennie's side will now take an extended break of two-and-a-half weeks before playing their final regular season home match of 2012 on Sunday, October 21, when they host Pacific Northwest rivals Portland Timbers at BC Place.

On Friday, I waited nearly five hours to hear the pope speak at the United Nations. On Saturday, I waited six hours for a press bus – which I wouldn't have minded so much, except I never got where I was going.
Maybe it's the traffic, or maybe it's the scale and density of the city, but logistical operations on the New York leg of Pope Benedict's trip seemed to break down.
The problems started as soon as the pope arrived Friday. Rome bureau chief John Thavis rode a press helicopter from JFK to Manhattan, where a bus was to speed him and other journalists uptown. But they were dropped off about seven blocks from U.N. headquarters and ended up missing the pope's arrival and initial meet-and-greets. Some of the other Vatican press corps members coming by bus from the airport fared even worse: They missed the pope's entire address.
People arrived at the press center at 6:45 Saturday morning to get in line for an 8:30 bus to a venue just outside the city. That first bus encountered almost comical problems along the way, finally arriving at its destination 15 miles from the departure point a bit before 11 a.m. And then it sat outside the seminary for reasons unclear. (For more details of that long and winding road, see colleague Beth Griffin's post.)
Those of us relegated to the second fleet of buses went through our security "sweep" two hours late. As we sat in a holding room, quarantined from the huddled masses of the unsecure and unswept, organizers began calling us for boarding according to the position area we'd been assigned to at the venue. Mine was the last one, group six. Didn't someone famous once say the last shall be first? I'm still waiting to jump to the head of the line.
Group six got left behind. We found another bus soon enough, but much like at Kennedy airport, the simple act of boarding doesn't always mean you're actually going anywhere. All the Secret Service escorts were booked, which meant we were stuck on the bus for at least an hour and 45 minutes, when we'd be able to join the Vatican press corps and their designated escort. And just like at the airport, we couldn't de-bus.
As the hours ticked by, I began to wonder if my destination was such a great idea anyway. I received periodic reports from Beth on her epic quest to locate the media center, which turned out to be useless. Then she found something called the filing center, which resembled a media center.
Difficulties continued hours after she'd secured an Internet connection. Imagine trying to leave a venue where 25,000 young people have converged. When I covered World Youth Day 2000 in Rome, bureau chief John Thavis made the following prediction of the press bus that would depart the muddy fields where 2 million teenagers had gathered for 24 hours: "It'll be like the last helicopter out of Saigon."
CNS photographer Bob Roller's bus to the youth rally was delayed four hours because of the fiasco with the first bus, and when the bus finally arrived at the seminary, it dropped him and three photographers more than a mile from their designated spot. After the youth rally, Roller endured another forced march with 75 pounds of equipment a mile and a half uphill to get to the point where he'd been dropped off. Only when he got there, he discovered he was in the wrong spot for the return bus. Back down the hill.
John Feister of St. Anthony Messenger beat the rest of the press back home by forgoing the bus entirely – he hitched a ride with a Yonkers priest to a train station.
After my trip to nowhere, I had no desire to repeat the experience this morning at Yankee Stadium. As at other venues, getting there appeared to be only half the battle. As of 12:30 pm, no one (including the press handlers) knew what the wi-fi password was, and reporters were going old-school, calling in their stories.

LONDON, Ontario (AP) -- Patrick Chan was miserable.
The two-time world champion would wake up in the morning and dread the thought of going to the rink. It wasn't the work he minded; he's spent most of his life skating because he loves it. But something was wrong - seriously wrong - and he had to do something to fix it.
"The whole season was hard," he said. "I would show up at competition ready and as trained as I could be, but I just couldn't perform the program I wanted to."
So when those closest to him suggested a change of scenery might do him good, he embraced the drastic move. He left his house, his car and his life in Colorado Springs, Colo., and relocated to Detroit for the last three weeks. And just like that, his funk lifted.
Chan put on a performance for the ages at the World Figure Skating Championships on Wednesday night, shattering the record for the short program with his sublime elegance. His score of 98.37 was more than three points better than the previous mark, set earlier this season by Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu at the NHK Trophy.
When Chan's music finished, the Canadian shook his fists in triumphs and blew kisses to the standing, adoring crowd.
"Today I was more excited - not about being first after the short or the new highest score of the short program, I was more excited about finally putting out a good program," he said. "Going into my last spin, I just felt this surge from the ice going through my boot and through my body. I was so excited because I finally did it on the day that counts in front of my home crowd.
"The world championships will never be this amazing during the rest of my career," he added.
It certainly will be tough to top what was a delightfully wild night.
European champion Javier Fernandez and Hanyu, last year's bronze medalist, were expected to challenge Chan for the title. But they didn't even make the top five after flawed programs, upstaged by Denis Ten, who's never finished better than seventh at a worlds or Olympics, and Kevin Reynolds, previously known only as one of the "other Canadians."
"I am very happy with my performance and, of course, I am very surprised like everyone that I finished second today," Ten said.
The free skate is Friday. Earlier Wednesday, Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov edged Canada's Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford in the pairs short program.
Chan has dominated men's skating since the Vancouver Olympics with his unique blend of athleticism and artistry. But the atmosphere at his rink in Colorado hasn't been the same since he split with longtime coach Christy Krall following last year's worlds, and it was clear early in the season that something was amiss. He lost his first competition in two years, coming second to Fernandez at Skate Canada, then finished third at the Grand Prix Final.
"I am very much a skater that feeds off other skaters and from the environment that I am in," he said. "If I feel that I do not get the necessary support, than my training suffers."
Chan hasn't decided if he'll make his move to Detroit permanent, but it is clear the new address agrees with him. He had the audience spellbound Wednesday night, the whispered carvings of his edges the only sound in the arena.
He uses his blades as an artist does a brush, turning an ice rink into a colorful canvas. He doesn't skate to the music so much as he is possessed by it, his body becoming an instrument.
"I was able to enjoy the performance from the beginning to the end," Reynolds said. "You could feel the audience getting into it and it was quite something to see."
The same could be said for Ten.
Ten was a dismal 12th just last month at Four Continents - an event that doesn't include the Europeans. Whatever he did since then, he should bottle and sell to figure skaters and their coaches, because he was electrifying Wednesday night.
His opening quad toe loop was beautiful, and the program only got better from there. Not even the judges could find errors, giving him the maximum level fours on all of his spins and footwork. He also had positive grades of execution on all of his jumps.
But what made his program so memorable was his perfect portrayal of the Oscar-winning movie, "The Artist." He looked like a silent film star, pantomiming throughout his program. The only time he failed to show expression was when his marks were announced.
"If this season was frustrating for Patrick, for me it was a complete disaster," Ten said. "I had so many problems it was hard mentally and physically to train and skate well. I did not have enough confidence at each competition I did because there wasn't even one when something wasn't hurting. I would not say that I am fully recovered ... but at the same time, I am happy with my shape. I have never been as strong as today."
Like all the other Canadian men, Reynolds has been lost in Chan's shadow. But he won't be any more after landing two quadruple jumps in his short program - a feat many men don't even try in the free skate.
Granted, the second, a quad toe loop, was two-footed. But the judges gave him credit for it, hammering him on the execution grade instead.
"I need to keep momentum going," Reynolds said.
The U.S. hopes of regaining a third spot for the Sochi Olympics are all but over after Ross Miner fell on his quadruple salchow and finished 14th. U.S. champion Max Aaron was eighth, but he and Miner need a combined placement of 13 or better to earn a third spot for Sochi.

3D Simulated Experience of Schizophrenia
I've found a video on ABC's website, which I think does a decent job of giving people who don't suffer from schizophrenia a look into what those of us that do suffer from it experience. The video is a 3D simulation that mainly focuses on the hallucination symptoms of the disorder and the whole experience provides visual (seeing), auditory (hearing) and olfactory (smelling) examples.
You'll have to bear through a few seconds of advertisements to watch this video, but it is pretty interesting. Apparently, the drug company Janssen has developed this 3D simulation experience for police and mental health care workers, to give them some idea of what schizophrenia is like. The goal is that by watching this video, police and mental health care workers will have a better understanding of how to help people with schizophrenia in real life situations.
I think it would be pretty cool if every city could have one of these contraptions to train people with, because I think it would be somewhat effective in sensitizing people to what it might be like to have schizophrenia.
I know I have personally been in situations where mental health workers and the police have been completely baffled about what was going on with me and how to properly help me, because I was acting so oddly.
What would really be awesome would be if they had this thing outside a grocery store or something so everyone could try it out. Now THAT would really increase awareness about schizophrenia in a BIG way!!!
To Watch the Video on ABC's Site--Enjoy!

LAUREL HILL � The City Council is questioning Okaloosa County commissioners� proposed gas tax increase.
LAUREL HILL � The City Council is questioning Okaloosa County commissioners� proposed gas tax increase.
The board of commissioners recently sent letters to each of the county�s nine municipalities asking council members for input on whether to increase the tax to pave and repair roads.
Councilman Larry Hendren on Thursday called the increase into question, stating the proposal was vague with no specific information.
"There are many unknowns right now," he said. "I personally don't support any tax increase at all, especially if it�s a shot in the dark."
Hendren proposed writing a letter to the commissioners asking for the specific increase amount and the increase�s purpose.
Councilman Clifton Hall agreed, and motioned to write a letter requesting explanation of the proposed increase.
The council unanimously voted in favor of creating the letter and sending it to commissioners at an undisclosed time.
Commissioner Nathan Boyles had proposed raising the gas tax 3 cents and suggested allocating the revenue to 10 projects across Okaloosa County.
The council had unanimously voted in favor of extending for a year a funding distribution agreement of the county fuel tax.
The county will continue receiving 60 percent of fuel tax income; municipalities will receive the remainder.

BALTIMORE (AP) The Orioles made baseball relevant in Baltimore again, shedding the stigma of 14 consecutive losing seasons with a wildly successful run that vastly exceeded all realistic expectations.
Baltimore stayed in contention for the AL East crown until the final day, reached the postseason, won its wild-card game and pushed the New York Yankees to the brink in the division series before losing 3-1 on Friday night in the deciding fifth game.
After the sting of elimination fades, the Orioles will savor their 93-69 season and remember the scene at Camden Yards when two straight sellout crowds cheered the home team's first appearance in the playoffs since 1997.
``The feeling, with the crowd screaming and waving the towels, you couldn't hear yourself think,'' first baseman Mark Reynolds said.
Following four successive last-place finishes, Baltimore turned it around in 2012. Unfortunately, the Orioles still weren't good enough to displace New York as top dog in the AL East. Not only did the Yankees win the division, they bounced Baltimore from the playoffs.
But a seismic shift occurred along the way. Buck Showalter's young Orioles gave the aging Yankees - with Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, Eric Chavez and Alex Rodriguez - all they could handle.
``It is not goodbye to this group, it is, `See ya later,''' Showalter said. ``They have a very well-deserved rest. They were good teammates and people that our city and organization can be proud of. And we'll see them again.''
Rookies Wei-Yin Chen and Miguel Gonzalez pitched brilliantly in the ALDS. First-year players Ryan Flaherty and Manny Machado hit home runs in Game 3. Another rookie pitcher, Steve Johnson, contributed significantly during the regular season and Baltimore improved its 2011 record by 24 games despite getting little help from young arms Zach Britton and Jake Arrieta.
Dan Duquette, in his first year as executive vice president of baseball operations, did an exceptional job of adding key players along the way. Joe Saunders, Jim Thome, Nate McLouth and Lew Ford all played a part in the successful run, even though none of them were on the 40-man roster when the season began.
For once, the Orioles had depth. It didn't matter that Baltimore lost three leadoff hitters to injury - Brian Roberts, Nolan Reimold and Nick Markakis - because McLouth was there to step in. And when left-handed reliever Troy Patton went on the disabled list with an ankle injury, converted starter Brian Matusz stepped in to fill the void.
Matusz, Machado and All-Star catcher Matt Wieters are among several players to emerge from the Orioles' oft-maligned farm system. That group includes top pitching prospect Dylan Bundy, who got his first taste of major league ball in the middle of a pennant race.
``It's something where a lot of these guys in the clubhouse came up together through the system, and we've been able to see each other's games sort of improve and develop,'' Wieters said. ``A lot of us have had to develop at the big league level, and we really picked up our game the last couple years. That's why we are where we are.''
Jim Johnson led the majors with 51 saves and was a big reason why Baltimore went 29-9 in one-run games. Few other Orioles were listed among the league leaders, and it didn't matter because no one had to carry the burden of producing in every game.
``We know we're going to have different guys step up every night and be able to drive in runs,'' Wieters said. ``The big thing is that we just want everybody to sort of play to their ability and not worry about where you're hitting in the lineup or what your stats are.''
Given what happened in the 14 years leading up to this one, there might be reason to believe this season was nothing more than a quirky stroke of luck.
``There are no flukes in baseball. There are no Cinderellas,'' Showalter insisted. ``You play too many games.''
The 2012 Orioles played more games than usual, all the way into the second week of October. They hope to play even longer next year.
``I'm proud of the effort of the whole organization,'' Duquette said. ``We took some great strides forward. We're a first-division outfit.''

The tablet has become an integral part of the mobile plans of many agencies, complementing and, in some cases, even replacing laptop and desktop PCs. Different models of tablets have different strength and weaknesses, and which one is right for your agencies depends on your own needs. This week, we take a close look at five popular tablets and what they offer agencies.
How long will it last when unplugged from a power source? Are optional spare batteries easily removable and replaceable?
Does it have a powerful processor and enough memory to open large documents, use high-performance apps or run multiple programs at the same time?
What kind of authentication is available? Are there FIPS-certified encrypted drive spaces or secure containers for BYOD users?
If it's designed to be rugged, how rugged is it? Can it pass MIL-STD 810G tests for temperature, shock, liquid and particle intrusion?
The Latitude 10 Enhanced Security tablet from Dell has user authentication features that simply aren't available on most tablets. However, without a spare battery users won't want to be away from a power source for long. Prices range from $499 to $779, depending on the configuration.
What works for government agencies
The Latitude 10 Enhanced Security is a Windows tablet (it runs XP, Vista and Windows 7 and 8) that, as its name implies, focuses on security in government, academic and health care settings.
It comes with both a fingerprint reader (a quarter-inch square on the upper left of the back of the tablet) and a smart card reader. It also includes Trusted Platform Module 1.2 hardware, Microsoft BitLocker drive encryption and Computrace support for tracking a lost or stolen device.
The tablet includes a good array of ports that would make it a fit for agency employees who work both in the office and out on the road. Users who want to expand their office setup can get an optional WiGig dock ($249) that connects to a monitor through its HDMI port and keyboard and mouse through the dock's four USB 3.0 ports. The docking connector also functions as a power port. But to save a user from having to unplug the power cord from the docking station, Dell also put a micro-USB port next to the docking port that can be used for charging.
Its 1.8 GHz Intel Atom Z2760 processor and 32G to 64G of solid state storage should be enough for most jobs.
What might not work for government agencies
The battery life of the Latitude 10 Enhanced Security tablet might not be ideal for every government job. The operating system, apps and broadband (if especially with the 4G LTE option) all take their toll, and the two-cell, 30-watt-hour battery will only last a few hours under non-optimal conditions. Dell does offer an optional four-cell, 60 watt-hour battery that can be swapped out, but that brings the total weight to just about two pounds.

Where are the grades and the benchmark results? None of these tablets have what I would consider a real review, which is odd for GCN. Since when did GCN stop giving us real reviews? You used to be our go-to source for technology reviews, but these read more like product write-ups I can get from anyone who does marketing. It's not the type of thing we want to see in a magazine that is supposed to be about government technology. Please concentrate on real reviews again and not this fluff piece stuff that does not even tell us which tablet we should purchase. You are losing readers who used to love you guys.
The Dell latitude 10 that they got us were nothing but a waste of money. They were slow keyboard was so smalll it hurt your fingers trying to type on it, would have been better as a tablet with more memeory and a faster processor.

You want to share files between computers on your LAN?
This is the easiest setup of a file server in ubuntu 10.10 that you will find (smb for windows compatibility).
There are tons of other posts and web pages on this, but IMHO most newbies will hate them: they're long, complex, and full of terminal commands and file edits.
This guide has NO editing of files, and only 1 (one) single OPTIONAL line to type into a terminal. Every single step is spelt out, for the sake of absolute newcomers. Other users may want to read only the sub-headings.
Step 1: the core HOWTO - setting up the file server
Step 2: giving your server a static IP address
Step 3: connecting an Ubuntu client
Step 4: connecting a Windows client
Step 1. Creating an Ubuntu File Server
1.1: Make a shared folder on the server
- locate or create the folder you will be placing your shared files in
- right-click it, select ''Sharing Options''
- tick ''Share this folder''
- I suggest you make the ''Share name'' the same as the folder name
- tick ''Allow others to create...'' if you want clients to be able to put files onto the server
- tick ''Guest Access'' to create an insecure server that doesn't need a password (not recommended)
- ''Create Share''
Note during step 1.1 you may be asked to allow Samba to be installed, and to allow Nautilus to ''Add the permissions automatically''. You should allow these if asked.
1.2: Create a share user account on server (optional)
This step is to create a user account on the server. Clients will use this account when they access the file server.
Note this step can be skipped if you ticked ''Guest Access'' in step 1.1, or if you want to let clients use an already existing user account.
- go to System > Administration > Users and Groups, click Add
- give the user account a name (I will use ''sharer'' in this guide), click ok
- give the user a password, click ok
1.3: Create a samba password
Skip this step if you ticked ''Guest Access'' in step 1.1
- type this into a terminal: sudo smbpasswd -a sharer (note ''sharer'' can be any existing Ubuntu user on the server)
- you will be prompted for YOUR password (because of sudo) then twice for a new samba password for sharer.
Note this password does not have any relationship with the Ubuntu password for the ''sharer'' user! You can use the same password if you want, although it would be more secure to use a different one
That's it. The server is finished.
Step 2. Giving the Server a Static IP Address (optional but recommended)
The server will work fine as is, but if it disconnects and reconnects to your router it may end up with a new IP address, which could be annoying...
Follow the steps below to give your server a static IP address that won't ever change.
- to get your gateway's IP address rightclick the network/connection icon in your Notification Area (i.e. ''Task Bar'' for Windows users) and select ''Connection Information''
You now know your gateway address, which is probably 192.168.1.1
You will also need to choose a new permanent IP address for your server.
It will look like 192.168.1.X, where the first three numbers separated by dots are the same as the first 3 of your gateway and the X is a number between 2 and 254.
Your LAN is probably only using a handful of the smaller numbers, so just choose a large number up to 254 that's easy to remember, to insert where the X is.
I'm going to use 192.168.1.222 in this example - you can use this too if you like.
- go to System > Preferences > Network Connections
- find the server's active connection to the router, in the appropriate tab, select it and click ''Edit''
- go to the IPV4 tab
- change the Method to ''manual''
- click ''Add'' next to the ''Addresses'' box
- type your chosen server IP address (''192.168.1.222'') in the Address column
- type ''24'' (no speech marks) in the Netmask column
- type the gateway address from above in the Gateway column, and again in the ''DNS Servers'' text box
- Apply the changes
Your server now has a static IP address.
Step 3. Connecting an Ubuntu Client
- go to Places > Network
- you should see the server here and, if you double-click it, the share folder inside it
- to open the folder you must enter the username of a user account on the server that has had a samba password created for it (sharer, in this example) and the *samba* password for sharer (NOT sharer's Ubuntu password)
- to add the server's share folder to your Places menu for easier access next time, click Bookmarks > Add Bookmark at the top of the window when you are inside the share folder
If you could not see the server in the Network window, do the following:
- Places > Connect to Server
- set Service Type to ''Windows share''
- in the Server field type the server IP address (if you don't know it, then on the *server* rightclick the network/connection icon in your Notification Area and select Connection Information)
- click Connect
- a window with all the share folders on the server will open; doubleclick the one you want, then bookmark it as above
You now have working file sharing between your server and an Ubuntu client on your LAN.
Step 4. Connecting a Windows Client
XP: Start > MyComputer > MyNetworkPlaces > the shared folder
Win7: Start > Computer > rightclick > Add Network Location > follow the wizard prompts

STOCKTON - People filled the grand ballroom at the Stockton Golf & Country Club on Wednesday for the annual San Joaquin Entrepreneur Challenge, an "American Idol"-style contest for people dreaming of business success and a shot at $24,000 in prizes.
STOCKTON - People filled the grand ballroom at the Stockton Golf & Country Club on Wednesday for the annual San Joaquin Entrepreneur Challenge, an "American Idol"-style contest for people dreaming of business success and a shot at $24,000 in prizes.
There were nearly 180 people in attendance for the contest's fourth year, said Mark Plovnick, who helps organize the event as president of the San Joaquin Angels, an investment group.
"It's the biggest crowd we've ever had," he said.
Plovnick said challenge organizers received a few less applications this year than usual, but there were as many strong candidates as ever.
"It should be good," he predicted before the start.
Wednesday's event featured 16 inventors, startups and would-be business owners outlining their business ideas in an all-too-short, two-minute presentation, what some call an elevator pitch, before a panel of four expert judges and the ballroom audience.
Both the judges and votes from the audience decided who would go onto the semifinal and final rounds of the contest, scheduled March 20, also at the Stockton country club.
After each presentation, the judges were given another two minutes to offer constructive feedback, praise for points well made and pose questions or requests to fill in any lapses or key issues left uncovered. They came as teachable moments following a trial by fire.
Rich Ison of Manteca, who presented high-security window and sliding door screens - but instead of wire mesh, 16-gauge steel plate perforated with holes and powder-coated - concluded: "We are redefining what real home security looks like."
Judges congratulated his report that his company had recently won distribution through Home Depot, but one, Cynthia Wagner-Weike, a management professor at University of the Pacific, told him: "I'm not convinced my home will be light inside" with his screens installed.
Joshua Benjestorf of Stockton drew praise for his electronics connector design - one which replaced metal-to-metal contacts with inductive plates to carry the signal and used magnetic attachments instead of physical latches that wear out - and thus can be completely waterproof. He was also praised for considering licensing his idea to established companies to produce.
But judge Charlie Blackburn, chief executive of Trinity Venture Capital, cautioned that Benjestorf must move quickly to patent and protect his ideas.
"Naturally, you've got to get your (intellectual property) secured; otherwise, the licensing doesn't mean a thing," he said.
Plovnick reported competitors chosen for the final round of live competition March 20 included Benjestorf and Ison, as well as Cheryl Peterson of Stockton, a clamp to improve mobility for post-operative chest patients; Vanessa Gabriel of Stockton, a shopping website aimed at millennial women; Crolie Lindsay of Modesto, a hiking staff holding survival gear; Jamie Norwood of Oakdale, a website to find U.S.-made products; Pamela Louie of Tracy, a device to secure a pet water bowl in a car; and Sandra Sanchez of Riverbank, soups in a tea bag.

Under $1000: Modern Benches
I've been on the hunt for a modern entryway bench and was shocked by many of the sticker prices. How could such a simple piece of furniture end up costing so much? Of course I could always go the the IKEA route, but my thought is that a bench is such a versatile piece of furniture, so I'd rather buy a higher quality piece, since I could see myself hanging onto this for years to come. Here are my finds.
1. John Vogel Bench, West Elm, $399 - $599.
2. Paloma II Bench, Crate and Barrel, $999.
3. Morris Bench with Drawer, Room & Board, $899.
4. Ply Bak Entrance Way Console Bench, Lunar Lounge Design, $275.
5. Branch Bench, Blu Dot, $499.
6. Semigood Design Rian RTA 40" Bench, Design Public. $795.
7. Harper Bench, DwellStudio, $825.
8. Andalucia Modern White Leather Bench, Overstock, $215.99.
9. Gus Modern Return Wooden Bench, All Modern, $899.
10. Dylan Bench, CB2, $249.
The Lithe Tufted Bench by West Elm
This is my dream bench, but sadly it comes with an $1199 price tag (not including tax and shipping!). Has anyone seen a bench similar to this, but for under $1000?

NEW YORK (AP) — The Federal Reserve Bank of New York says the New York-New Jersey regional economy will bounce back fairly quickly from Superstorm Sandy.
But the New York Fed says individual communities and businesses that were hit hard by last month's storm face a long road to recovery.
Fed officials presented an overview of the storm's economic effects at a briefing Thursday.
They said that 90 percent of businesses in downstate New York were shut down or severely crippled by the storm for at least one day.
But they said they expect the regional economy overall to be back on track by early 2013.
For context, the officials looked at economic and employment trends following past disasters including Hurricane Katrina and the 2001 terror attacks.

Jessica Smith is constantly on the move and brainstorming. That's the nature of her business, which is called Left Lane Productions.
Jessica Smith is constantly on the move and brainstorming. That's the nature of her business, which is called Left Lane Productions.
And when she puts things in gear, often big things happen.
A recent brainstorm led her to engineer a fundraiser that netted nearly $13,000 — all in one day — for Davidson County Senior Services' Home Delivered Meals Program. The funds allow Senior Services to serve 12 more clients a hot meal for one year.
The 27-year-old Thomasville native, who owns and operates the event-planning business with the unique name, says it was divine intervention that her thoughts drifted in that direction.
She heard last year at her church, Rich Fork Baptist in Thomasville, that there were more than 100 seniors on the home-delivered meals waiting list.
"I really didn't think much about it at the time," she relates. "But then at Bible study a couple of months later it really started weighing on my heart about those seniors."
Sabrina Orman, nutrition program manager at Senior Services, described Smith's efforts as a blessing. "To get involved and help our seniors, I'm thankful for such caring people who were touched by our waiting list and stepped up to do something about it."
The one-day fundraiser, which included a 5K event and a dinner and silent auction Dec. 1, pulled in $12,910.60.
It was, however, months in the making.
"There was a whole lot of planning, and I spent night after night on the phone looking for sponsors. I know it was a good four months and a lot of hours," Smith recalls.
Thomasville Medical Center and Rich Fork Baptist turned out to be the primary sponsors. Numerous volunteers and family members helped, Smith says, but she singles out her mother, Sheila Smith. "She was pretty much right there with me the whole time."
The 5K extended from the East Davidson High School to nearby CV Products, another sponsor. The dinner and silent auction was held at Carolina Memorial Baptist Church on Liberty Drive in Thomasville. Donations and volunteers came from both Thomasville and Lexington.
Raising that amount of money is significant in light of the challenges. In addition to an economy in the tank, the event was held during the height of Christmas shopping season.
With the funds, Orman plans to add to the existing 20 routes with a new meal route in the Pilgrim community, which has the largest number of seniors on the waiting list. The areas to be served include City Lake Road, Greensboro Street Extension and Ridge Road. Also planned for that area is a central drop-off site for food and volunteers to deliver the meals.
"A brand new route for 12 seniors is pretty exciting," Smith beams.
Smith, however, isn't finished. As part of her business's community service, she plans to have annual fundraisers for Home Delivered Meals.
"We're looking at a different approach. We want to have a bluegrass concert … which is by popular request … with local bands and free admission. We'll be looking for donations and sponsorships to reach a larger audience."
Next year's goal will be to open two more meal routes.
"There are many seniors who are not able to go out and purchase food or prepare meals for themselves. For some of them, that (the home-delivered meal) is the only meal they get that day. It's really sad," Smith said.
Her event-planning business is a mobile operation, she says. Basically, she travels to clients.
"I'm always going 100 miles an hour," Smith says with a laugh. "My friends and family thought 'Left Lane Productions' would suit me perfectly.
For her event-plannning services, she can be reached at 858-3834.
Dwight Davis can be reached at 249-3981, ext, 226 or at email@example.com.
