Luxury Hotel Brand Set to Add More Than 1,300 Rooms Around the World in 2012
TORONTO, December 1, 2011 – Already laying claim to the most distinctive collection of landmark and iconic hotels in the world, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts plans to open a number of new and celebrated properties in 2012. Headlining Fairmont's robust schedule of 2012 openings, which will see the brand debut in several new global markets, are Fairmont Jaipur in India, Fairmont Grand Hotel Kyiv in Ukraine, and Fairmont Baku in Azerbaijan.
"International growth is a key focus at Fairmont and I fully expect 2012 to be a busy year for us," said Jennifer Fox, President, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. "With hotels like The Savoy in London, The Plaza in New York, and Shanghai's Fairmont Peace Hotel, we already watch over some of the world's top addresses, so to be going into several new and exciting markets, with assets that are truly one-of-a-kind, is very exciting."
In total, the luxury brand has five hotel projects, representing more than 1,300 guestrooms, slated to open next year. Noteworthy openings include:
Additional Fairmont hotels expected to open later in 2012 include the 300-room Fairmont Makati, Philippines, which will be conveniently located near the Philippine Stock Exchange, and the 372-room Fairmont Palm Jumeirah on Dubai's The Palm, Jumeirah. Looking beyond 2012, Fairmont is also working on a number of exciting hotel development projects in markets like Saudi Arabia, Russia, Fujairah, and China and remains focused on international expansion with brand growth targeted for key markets in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

I held my 8-year-old daughter a bit tighter Monday night.
But it wasn't because an 8-year-old was among the dead in the Boston Marathon terrorist attack.
She was sick and needed the comfort and watchful eyes of her parents.
It was routine in the way dealing with a sick child becomes when you know it is serious enough to monitor but not enough to allow unnecessary worry set your heart aflutter.
I had not rushed home from the office after making website updates, phone calls trying to track down people I knew from Boston, and looking at reams of photos – some of people with bloody stumps where their legs had been before the blasts – to hold my kids a little closer as we are frequently advised to do during times such as these.
I did not become contemplative, thanking God for the blessings he has bestowed upon my family and me.
I didn't even know how to pray for the families whose lives had been torn apart by some evil we can't yet name.
I knew I was supposed to be horrified, angry, maybe even a bit scared. Something.
I wasn't.
I did the perfunctory things, advised readers to remain calm, to not speculate.
I told them there would be plenty of time for heated debate later about the politics and what this means about security.
I imagined how I would have reacted at the end of a marathon – knowing how physically tired and mentally drained a person is after running 26.2 miles – if explosives went off near the finish line of one of the two races I completed.
I wanted to feel.
I didn't.
I wanted to empathize.
I couldn't.
There's been so much.
The economy went into free fall and no one could say how far it would go.
I watched good friends and colleagues ushered out the door with a tap on the shoulder during what became routine rounds of layoffs.
A congresswoman and others were shot on a routine day, as were soldiers at Fort Hood.
A mad man unleashed hell during a routine opening of a Batman film.
Children were mowed down like rabid dogs on a routine day in an elementary school.
A man named Dr. Kermit Gosnell is accused of routinely murdered babies.
Reports of a bombing here, a dead soldier there, in Iraq and Afghanistan have become so routine I have to force myself to pay attention to them.
The same with bloody unrest in Libya and daily slaughter in Syria.
Even a big undetected rock falling from the sky is part of the routine we now call life.
Belittling each other. Thinking the worst of each other. Calling each other nasty names just because we can. Routine.
A planned, deadly bombing at one of the world's most prestigious marathons has been added to the list of the routine, another of the thousands cuts.
Over most of those things, we have little to no control.
But we can make hugging our children a little tighter a little more often a part of the new routine, not just in response to the latest tragedy.
We can treat each other with more kindness as part of the new routine. We can decide to routinely love the unlovable.
Singing in the rain and laughing and purposefully enjoying the sun's warmth just to acknowledge our daily blessings – that we are still here, that we still have choices to make, that we can make the world better, at least where we are – can be part of the new routine, too.
As can extending good will when we don't expect any.
Because the routine of life is never just about bombings and layoffs and curses.
Because even in the midst of turmoil and the pain we sometimes feel, the shape of the routine we refer to as life is never completely out of our control.
It is what we make it.
It always has been.
It always will be.
Evil – no matter how hard or how often it tries – can never change that.

The seasoning ingredients are, most likely, right in your pantry. For you Rachael Ray fans, you know that she's a fan of big Montreal Steak Seasoning; I have to admit, I've grown pretty fond of it as well. You'll also need brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. A little bit of red wine vinegar gives a nice balance of sweet and savory.
You'll need chopped onion and red bell pepper (my favorite part, and lots of pretty color, too)
Tomato sauce and tomato paste gives a rich, red color to the mixture.
Yes, I have a Rachael Ray oval non-stick pot, and I do like it a lot! You can have the sauce ready in less than 20 minutes
For this meal, I settled on ordinary hamburger rolls (I'm a bread lover, and therefore a little too picky, I admit). I much prefer a roll that is hardy enough to hold a LOT of meat filling. My boys aren't as picky about bread as I am, so I didn't hear my boy's complaining one bit-- they were happily devouring these, and asking me to make these more of often. Sometimes, it's the simple things I cook that are the most appreciated. I don't mind, after a hard day's work.

Healing the Earth
Yogi Bhajan taught us to live consciously, to take responsibility for ourselves and our actions, and that we are one with the One and all creation. As we continue our journey towards higher consciousness, take action to help sustain and nurture our Mother Earth.
"The Universe is asking you to confirm with yourself whether you would like to serve the Earth, to save the Earth, be a sage of the Earth. Earth- the sustainer, the Mother of you, which nurtures you – can you nurture it back? That which serves you, can you serve it back?"

WPP and Millward Brown's ranking of the top brands in China features tech companies, oil and gas pioneers and a baijiu maker.
Communications services company WPP and research agency Millward Brown have released a new ranking of China's 50 most valuable brands.
CNNMoney features the top 10 brands here, and there are a few surprises. Tech companies got a boost in this year's rankings, while some other companies with global name recognition -- like Lenovo, Air China and Haier -- didn't make the top 10.
At the top is China Mobile, one of the world's largest wireless providers. With 1.3 billion potential customers in China, it's easy to see the opportunity for growth.

Chris Brown has become the latest celebrity 'swatting' victim after a hoax call led to a police raid at his Los Angeles home on Monday (21Jan13).
Cops raced to the Don't Wake Me Up hitmaker's Hollywood Hills property after an unidentified individual placed a 911 call to falsely report a domestic incident involving a gun.
When the police arrived there was no sign of a gunman or any dispute, according to TMZ.com.
It is unclear whether the singer was at home at the time of the incident.
Other celebrities targeted by swatters include Tom Cruise, Justin Bieber, Ashton Kutcher and the Kardashian family.

Emily Blunt can't help but cringe whenever she recalls her recent meeting with President Barack Obama - because she lost control of her nerves and began laughing "hysterically" in his face.
Blunt was attending the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, D.C. in December (11) to help pay tribute to her The Devil Wears Prada co-star Meryl Streep when she was offered the opportunity to greet the President.
But the meeting didn't quite go as smoothly as she'd planned when Obama lavished praise on Blunt for her screen work - and it all proved a little too much for her to handle.
She recalls, "I'm from England so I didn't think I would be as excited as I apparently was (to meet Obama), so I was like, he won't know who I am, he'll shake my hand and say, 'Hi, nice to meet you', move on.
"I went to shake his hand and he turned to me, and he put his hand on top of mine and he went, 'I love you. I love what you do, I've seen all of your work.' And I started to laugh hysterically in his face and I didn't say anything except I think I said, 'I appreciate that' or 'I appreciate you' or just something really awful and I couldn't stop laughing!"
Her bizarre reaction prompted event officials to cut short the meeting and guide her away - and Blunt admits it was a complete disaster.
She says, "I don't know what happened, I've never fallen to pieces like that in front of anyone... So I got gently removed. I remember feeling a kinda firm grip on my arm as I was ushered away. And Michelle (Obama) gave my a hug, I think out of pity, because I was such a mess!"

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Ailing anti-apartheid leader and former South African President Nelson Mandela remained in hospital on Monday in a "critical but stable" condition, the government said.
Mandela has been in a Pretoria hospital for more than three weeks receiving treatment for a recurring lung infection, his fourth hospitalization in six months.
The faltering health of the 94-year-old, a figure admired globally as a symbol of struggle against injustice and racism, has reinforced a realization that the father of the post-apartheid South Africa will not be around forever.
While he lies in hospital, many South Africans are looking ahead to his 95th birthday on July 18.
"We must all be able to do something good for humanity on this day in tribute to our former President," President Jacob Zuma said in a statement.
Mandela's health also dominated a two-day visit to South Africa by U.S. President Barack Obama over the weekend.
Obama met the Mandela family on Saturday, offering words of comfort and praising the retired statesman as one of history's greatest figures.

A week before its $762 million tender offer expires, Sun Capital Securities Group LLC told Kellwood Co. shareholders Wednesday that "tendering is the only way to guarantee you receive $21 per share in cash."
"You must tender your Kellwood shares into Sun Capital's offer to ensure you will receive $21 per share in cash," the private equity firm said in a letter.
This story first appeared in the February 7, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Although most shareholders won't commit to tender their shares until right at the buzzer at midnight Tuesday, Sun Capital's letter is common practice, experts said.
Sun Capital will likely announce on Wednesday how many shareholders tendered their shares. If the private equity firm gets the necessary majority, which Kellwood has required to remove impediments to the hostile takeover, it will be able to "close the offer and pay you for your tendered shares within a matter of days," according to the letter. If not, Sun Capital will decide whether to extend the tender offer or abandon the deal. Sun Capital is the second-largest shareholder of St. Louis-based Kellwood.
The private equity firm on Jan. 14 made the $762 million all-cash tender offer for Kellwood, which is projected to do $1.6 billion in sales in the fiscal year ended Feb. 2, and held $1.5 million in assets in 2006, according to the annual report.
Sources said Kellwood hopes that a higher bid is made or that the majority of shareholders will decline Sun Capital's offer. The Kellwood board said on Jan. 28 that it was halting efforts to block Sun Capital's takeover, and Wall Street boosted the stock price 19 percent to about $20.
In Wednesday's letter, Sun Capital told shareholders that the current stock price was a result of the offer, not company performance, and that if they didn't tender their stock, they risked losing the value the stock had gained since Sun Capital announced interest in the company last September.
"The offer represents a premium of 38 percent to Kellwood's stock price when we first proposed the acquisition on Sept. 18, 2007, and is even more attractive today," the letter said. "Since then, Kellwood's peer group and the S&P Consumer Discretionary Index have experienced significant declines due to weakening fundamentals in the consumer sector. Accordingly, we believe Kellwood's stock price would decline significantly, likely to a level well below its trading price on Sept. 18, 2007, in the absence of a sale of the company."
Sun Capital invests in companies it considers undermanaged. After acquiring companies, Sun leverages its operational capabilities to streamline areas including sourcing and supply chain management — dramatic cuts that are easier to make as a private company without Wall Street scrutiny — so that a vendor like Kellwood could be made more profitable even if sales stayed flat.
Kellwood and Sun Capital declined comment.

Call Collision Management!
We'll Direct You To The Best Auto Repair Shop.
The Best Auto Collision Referral Service in South Florida
Find the best auto repair facility near Broward.
We are experts with Auto Collision Repairs and Accident Claims! It's Your Car Your Choice! Learn why you should never trust your insurance company to decide where you take your vehicle after an accident in South Florida.
Let us help you find a body shop in Broward, FL.
Sure we meet by accident, but its not by chance that you found us!
Our auto collision specialists will help you with your accident from A-Z. We will provide you with a list of recommended repair facilities outside the network of "preferred" shops that insurance companies have in place, known as:Direct Repair Programs
Direct repair programs, aka DRP shops are strictly graded on how QUICKLY they get a vehicle in and out of their repair facilities! This means that if you are looking for the best repair shop near Hollywood Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Davie, or Coral Springs, and you contact your insurance company they will simply point your towards DRP shops that sacrifice quality for speed, so they don't get dropped from the insurance companies.
1.) Ineffective sub par repair methods that will cost you more time and money later on repairs.
2.) Diminishing value on your cars resell value.
3.) Cheap after market parts may be used to compensate for the low labor rate insurance carriers provide to DRP body shops.
And the insurance companies say they warranty after market, non-factory, junkyard parts that are remanufactured, but can they put a warranty on how safe you will be driving down the highway at 65 m.p.h. on a junkyard suspension a direct repair facility they recommended installed on your vehicle?
If you speak to an insurance agent that is trying to convince you to take your car to one of their repair shops they are breaking a federal mandate signed by representative from 256 different insurance carriers known as The Original 1963 consent Decree.
Is the insurance carrier your local South Florida car repair professional?
No, so why are they dictating the duration of time it takes to get the job done correctly when it's not their area of expertise?
Because it's their job to maximize profits for themselves by cutting costs. Costs that are concrete expenses necessary to produce sufficient results. So it's your job to take control of the "steering wheel" by not allowing your insurance company to steer you in the wrong direction by letting Collision Management do the driving and steer you in the right direction by helping you find reliable collision centers and repair shops.
Just got into an accident and don't know what to do next?
If you are involved in an accident in South Florida:
1.) Check to see if everyone is okay or if anyone has been injured.
2.) Always contact the local authorities to document the accident.
3.) Find a quality repair facility you can trust with your vehicle by calling
954-388-1882 to get knowledgable advice on how to get the help you deserve.
4.) Then call the insurance company last to notify them of where you car will be repaired.
5.) A reputable shop will always negotiate the claim for you with the insurance company.
– Most car, truck, and motorcycle drivers are under the impression that they have to get more than one estimate for their vehicle after they get into a wreck, but you aren't required to get more than one. If your insurance company writes their own estimate you can take that estimate to the shop of your choice. All of the body shops in our network will handle the claims negotiation with the insurance company, so let one of our collision management specialists help you with your claim today.
– If you vehicle is no longer in driving condition it will probably be towed by local towing service that has been approved by the Broward County Sheriff's Office. The local towing company will be required to take your vehicle to a secured storage facility, which is the safest place to keep your vehicle until you decide which repair facility you prefer.
– With total loss, insurance companies are paying 20-30% less than what they rightfully owe in most cases. In the case of a "total loss" never let the insurance company move your vehicle until you have reached a reasonable settlement.
If you already took your car to an insurance company's recommended repair facility then you need to get your vehicle inspected by a professional as it may be unsafe to drive. There's a good chance they used counterfeit parts that could affect the timing and response of an air bag deployment.
This is what happens when your airbag deploys seven-hundredths of a second to late:
Call 954-388-1882 right now for a free consultation and utilize our powerful network of reliable repair shops.

Views that incorporate this intuition
The intuition that happiness consists of the absence of suffering is common in non-Western traditions, especially in Buddhism.
It is also a central part of Epicureanism.
New Brieten Womens Rhinestone Colorful Laceup Fashion Sneakers c1RrA
Finally, it may constitute part of the explanation why a lot of people reject versions of consequentialism where the happiness of the many can outweigh the suffering of a few.
In addition to valuing suffering reduction, we might care about our personal well-being, about us and others fulfilling their dearest dreams and life-goals, about happiness and there being love and joy in the world, and many other, similar objectives. Interestingly, these other values beside concern for suffering often seem to be bounded, i.e. they seem to quickly reach diminishing returns once we optimize for them successfully.
Repugnant Conclusion
Aisun Womens Comfy Sweet Bowknot Roll Slip On Flats Shoes Black FQLydp9m
Imagine there is a civilization with ten billion maximally happy inhabitants who never experience any suffering. We have the option to introduce more lives and overall more happiness to the world by multiplying the number of people in that civilization by a factor of one billion. However, the way to bring about this population explosion will also lower the quality of life for all the beings, old and new. In the new civilization with ten billion billion people, each person will experience a lot of mild suffering, a decent amount of moderate suffering, and even some moments of strong suffering. People will also be happy a lot, such that most outsiders, as well as all the people themselves, would on the whole regard their existences as worth living. Should we choose to bring about the much larger, less happy civilization, or do we prefer the small(ish) but maximally happy one?
While there are some people who argue for accepting the repugnant conclusion (Tännsjö, 2004), most people
Forfoot Womens Ballerina Slippers Indoor With Non Slip Soft Sole Grey1 tsw6CThav8
the smaller but happier civilization – at least under some circumstances. One explanation for this preference might lie in intuition one discussed above, "Making people happy rather than making happy people." However, this is unlikely to be what is going on for everyone who prefers the smaller civilization: If there was a way to double the size of the smaller population while keeping the quality of life perfect, many people would likely consider this option both positive and important. This suggests that some people do care (intrinsically) about adding more lives and/or happiness to the world. But considering that they would not go for the larger civilization in the Repugnant Conclusion thought experiment above, it also seems that they implicitly place diminishing returns on additional happiness, i.e. that the bigger you go, the more making an overall happy population larger is no longer (that) important.
Computer Vision.
RNNs are also quickly becoming pervasive in Computer Vision. For example, we're seeing RNNs in frame-level
video classification
image captioning
(also including my own work and many others),
video captioning
and very recently
adidas Originals Womens ZX Flux W LaceUp Fashion Sneaker Off White/Legacy/Metallic Silver Solid uSvSlK
. My personal favorite RNNs in Computer Vision paper is WOMENS Converse Jack Purcell LTT Ox Black Sequin Red Satin Lining 110876 8PkpdrPAT
, both due to its high-level direction (sequential processing of images with glances) and the low-level modeling (REINFORCE learning rule that is a special case of policy gradient methods in Reinforcement Learning, which allows one to train models that perform non-differentiable computation (taking glances around the image in this case)). I'm confident that this type of hybrid model that consists of a blend of CNN for raw perception coupled with an RNN glance policy on top will become pervasive in perception, especially for more complex tasks that go beyond classifying some objects in plain view.
Inductive Reasoning, Memories and Attention. Another extremely exciting direction of research is oriented towards addressing the limitations of vanilla recurrent networks. One problem is that RNNs are not inductive: They memorize sequences extremely well, but they don't necessarily always show convincing signs of generalizing in the correct way (I'll provide pointers in a bit that make this more concrete). A second issue is they unnecessarily couple their representation size to the amount of computation per step. For instance, if you double the size of the hidden state vector you'd quadruple the amount of FLOPS at each step due to the matrix multiplication. Ideally, we'd like to maintain a huge representation/memory (e.g. containing all of Wikipedia or many intermediate state variables), while maintaining the ability to keep computation per time step fixed.Inductive Reasoning, Memories and Attention.
The first convincing example of moving towards these directions was developed in DeepMind's
Nike Zoom Hypercross TR Mens Training Shoes Light Retro Turquoise/White/Volt M0Xm2ECJD
paper. This paper sketched a path towards models that can perform read/write operations between large, external memory arrays and a smaller set of memory registers (think of these as our working memory) where the computation happens. Crucially, the NTM paper also featured very interesting memory addressing mechanisms that were implemented with a (soft, and fully-differentiable) attention model. The concept of soft attention has turned out to be a powerful modeling feature and was also featured in Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate for Machine Translation and Memory Networks for (toy) Question Answering. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that
EWMA wish to investigate the barriers and possibilities of advanced therapies in the next generation wound management. As a primary deliverable EWMA will develop a document including an introduction to available advanced technologies.
EWMA is currently working on a document on the prevention and management of surgical site infections (SSI) in hospitals as well as community based health care settings. The document will be developed by an interdisciplinary author group.
EWMA is introducing a tailored stewardship concept to wound care practitioners. Aim of the stewardship programme is to reduce inappropriate use of antibiotics by promoting, facilitating and teaching the use of antibiotic alternatives in wound management across all healthcare settings.

and EWMA have agreed to initiate a joint European advocacy project. The work is partly inspired by the EWMA collaboration from 2012-2015 with the Eucomed Advanced Wound Care Sector group (AWCS) in relation to the EU Joint Action on Patient Safety and Quality of Care (PaSQ).
The EWMA Oxygen Therapies Guidance document will provide practice-oriented guidance on the current use of various forms of oxygen therapies for wound treatment.
EWMA is currently developing and testing a wound centre endorsement programme, aiming to support the development of high quality and multidisciplinary wound centres as well as increased knowledge sharing and collaboration between existing wound centres around the world.
EWMA and Wounds Australia have developed this document, aiming to highlight some of the barriers and facilitators related to implementation of VLU guidelines as well as provide clinical practice statements to overcome these and "fill the gaps" currently not covered by the majority of available guidelines.
Since EWMA published a Position Document on "Topical Negative Pressure in Wound Management" in 2007, Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has developed considerably. On this background, EWMA is developing a guidance document, which will focus on a wide array of factors influencing the organisation and use of NPWT.
EWMA is working on a European curriculum for post graduate nurses, with the objective to support more standardised content in post graduate nurse education on wound management.
The SWAN iCare consortium aims to develop a conceptually new therapy system equipped with information and communication technologies. EWMA is partner in this EU FP7 consortium and will contribute amongst other things by bringing the perspective of the patient and end users into the device development process.
EWMA is currently conducting a "Cost of Wound Care Survey" in Germany. Results from this survey are expected to be ready in 2016. The survey will identify the number and type of wounds as well as treatment regimes and will provide an estimate of the amount of clinician time and inpatient bed-days directly attributable to wound care at an organisational level.

… at least in ancient Rome.
We come to it at last, the end of the year 2012.
It is time to pass beneath the arch of December and on into January.
I suspect many people, myself included, feel a bit melancholy at this point. The holidays are all but over and back-to-work days are staring us in the face. We consumed inordinate amounts of food, wine, sweets and evening glasses of Bailey's on ice.
We reflect on the year that is left in our wake and sigh because we must move forward whether we like it or not. Perhaps we did not accomplish all that we set out to do? Let's face it, the crappy things tend to hold our attention more than the brilliant ones.
The secret to overcoming the New Year blues is to remember the past year whilst moving forward through the next. Like the study of history, if we forget the past, we are indeed doomed to repeat it.
Did you know that the month of January was named after the Roman god, Janus? He was the two-headed god of gates, doors and new beginnings. In ancient Rome, New Year's Day was dedicated to this two-headed deity who kept one set of eyes on the past year while watching over the year to come.
For Romans, January was a month for looking back and looking ahead.
In Rome, when the two new consuls were to begin their term in office, they would begin on New Year's Day. Janus would watch over beginnings such as the latter or something as small as the start of a new business venture for a butcher in the Suburan slums of the city. Janus was the first god on the list in prayers and the first to receive a portion of a sacrifice.
Janus watched over all transitions and new beginnings and that is what many of us will be doing this New Year.
Not that we should obsess about how we begin the New Year. We should just be mindful of what has come before and be open to what is approaching us in the yet-to-come.
|Temple of Janus
Autun, France
It may be that we were somewhat less than what we wanted to be in recent months but that is the beauty of new beginnings. History is what it is and it is up to us to learn from it.
The future is what we are willing to make of it.
So, maybe the Romans had the right idea? Perhaps the best way to move through the gate of one year into the next is to remember, learn, and then press on with creativity and inspiration and Januvian optimism in all aspects of our lives.
It is not just New Year's Day or January that are the beginning but each new day that dawns, that sees us awake and thinking, a new opportunity to shine.
So, with that one thought from Writing the Past, I wish you all a brilliant and fortunate future for 2013.
Happy New Year!

Fuzzy Fingers Mini Microfiber Mitt
Microfiber cleaning cloths are exceptionally efficient. The millions of tiny fibers in each strand attract, absorb and remove all kinds of dirt, dust and bacteria. Plus, microfiber naturally inhibits the spread of bacteria. Whereas traditional cotton cloths push around dirt and germs, microfiber traps it until washed.
It's also an environmentally friendly solution since it's reusable (rather than disposable) – and because it allows you to tackle many cleaning tasks without the need for harsh chemicals.
Microfiber allows you to clean larger surface areas before it has to be laundered. Once washed, it's renewed and ready to go again. To prolong it's effectiveness, do not use bleach or fabric softeners when laundering microfiber. Whenever possible, launder microfiber items by themselves, and never with towels or other items with a lot of lint. And never use high heat settings on microfiber.

Local sixth-grader wows Moda Center crowd
Blazers crowd loves anthem by 11-year-old Jordan Bailey of McMinnville
(News-Register Staff) Eleven-year-old McMinnville resident Jordan Bailey sang in front of about 20,000 people Wednesday night, performing the national anthem with violinist Aaron Meyer and guitarist Tim Ellis before a Portland Trail Blazer game at the Moda Center.
KGW featured the performance during its 11 p.m. newscast.
"It's amazing," Bailey told KGW after the rehearsal. "I never thought I'd be doing something like this."
Bailey is a sixth-grader at Duniway Middle School. Her parents, Wayne and Nicolette, are the owners of Youngberg Hill Vineyards and Inn.
She has performed at several venues around town and been cast in several Gallery Theater plays, including "Wiz," "Seussical" and "Narnia." Bailey won the Best Debut Performance award for her part in "Narnia." Bailey was previously featured in a News-Register article two years ago as part of school district's annual choral festival.
"I want to be a singer. I love singing. It's my life," Bailey told reporter Starla Pointer.
Wednesday's performance at the Moda Center was just one more step towards her dream.

I was raised in the UK, so it's perhaps not surprising that I used to feel that any currency without a picture of the Queen on it was not real money.
Now having lived in the Eurozone and America, I have liberalised, but I seriously question whether our customers need a currency like Bitcoin.
Is Bitcoin really relevant to the consumer?
As a digital currency, Bitcoin is sometimes sold as an easy solution to the problem of adapting a website to accept numerous currencies. But is it really relevant to the customer or even on their radar?
At the moment we're not seeing customer-led demand for the peer-to-peer electronic payment system. When you already have a widely accepted and recognised currency, does the consumer really want another?
Of course, the currency of the country in which a company is based is the first choice for ecommerce providers. Most online retailers are expecting to sell to their local market and want their consumers to pay in a currency they understand and trust.
In the USA and Europe, this has the advantage of being the currency of a huge market. There are around 332m people in the Eurozone and 314m in America. Before the advent of the euro there were marks, francs, schillings, pesetas, guilders, lira and drachma in the 17 different currencies across what is now the Eurozone.
So the euro has certainly made our life easier as we sell across all of these zones. Consumers like to be able to see exactly what something will cost (easier to evaluate in their own currency), and not have to worry about extra charges for paying in dollars, say.
Our biggest markets are the Eurozone and the USA, but we still need to offer niche currencies too. The local consumer needs to match the value of what we offer them against what they can buy locally both online and offline.
However, the cost of receiving payments in Bitcoin is fraction of a credit card fee. It is a fast and cheap way to process transactions. But every credit card company is working towards solving micro-payments, so it is only a short term benefit and above all the customer does not care about what retailers pay as a transaction fee.
So, Bitcoin does not make anything easier for the retailer; it is just another currency, and not a widely used one. In terms of expanding into new territories, most retailers would find delivery more of a problem than a new currency, as long as it is offered by their payment provider.
It also does not make things easier for the consumer because they cannot compare value against the goods for sale in other local outlets. The consumers or businesses that might be interested in the Bitcoin are those that live in regions with an unstable currency and therefore prefer to keep savings in stable currencies such as the dollar, euro or pound.
For example, I have stood in the Ethiopian highlands, Tanzanian Masaimara and Cambodian jungles discussing the dollar, euro and pound exchange rates; an example of how different currencies are already used to overcome challenging monetary environments.
99% of customers in the regions we serve and where ecommerce is established, already have payment methods they prefer. We also have PayPal of course; widely used as a payment method in every currency we sell in.
Although it is a different service to Bitcoin, it also has a critical mass, closer to 10% compared to Bitcoin's 0.01%. Bitcoin can't compare with that level of usage at the moment.
Ultimately, I do not believe that Bitcoin is valuable to society or commerce; therefore it is unlikely to catch on.
It might be more effective to use t-shirts as a currency! After all, their price is based on a cotton natural resource, which has a supply and demand fluctuation like gold.
Inflation on cotton is high so they are inflation proof, and you can even print a picture of the Queen on them.
If all else fails you can also wear your currency and make jokes about the taxman 'wanting the shirt off your back'. But due to wallets having to be the size of wardrobes it is an idea that is unlikely to catch on any better than Bitcoin.
But the internet is a funny place where new ideas do catch on. Our job is to try and cover as many of our customers' needs as possible, so if enough people want to use either Bitcoin or even t-shirts as a currency, we will adapt and find ways of taking payments.
Comments (22)
It's certainly true that bitcoin doesn't make anyone's life *easier*. It's awkward to use at the best of times, and the erratic inflation/deflation problem adds a big element of risk. Nobody wants to buy their bitcoins then find out that they're next to worthless by the time they spend them.
But the motivation behind bitcoin was always ideological in nature. It was intended to allow private citizens a way to conduct their private business away from prying eyes and without being forced to route their transactions through banks they might see as corrupt or otherwise immoral. That's become even more prominent in light of growing global awareness of just how prevalent government surveillance has become.
So, bitcoin might not be great for anyone in terms of customer experience, but it's still one of the best ways we have of sticking it to 'the man'.
I'd have to disagree, bitcoin does make it easier for consumers. The quality of phone payment systems compared to bitcoin is about on par and moving away from cash or plastic credit cards seems to be the trend, and rightfully so.
In the end, the value that bitcoin provides will not come from consumer-demand at-first, but for charities who need perfect transparence to maintain a marketable integrity and for international markets as well as remittances the current monetary systems has way too high costs.
'Ultimately, I do not believe that Bitcoin is valuable to society or commerce; therefore it is unlikely to catch on.'
Herein lies your ignorance; you obviously do not understand Bitcoin. If you can see no benefits to a global payment system with extremely minimal transaction cost you're either A) delusional or B) archaic.
That is why so many very talented & intelligent individuals are putting so much time & effort into Bitcoin, because it is a transformational technology due to the reason I alluded to in my previous sentence yet you don't even mention it... And you believe it has no value.
I'm curious, did you spend more than a few minutes researching Bitcoin before you started rolling your face on the keyboard?
Yea, even if you did spend more than 5 minutes studying Bitcoin, you show no evidence for such.
So many things you are missing, one of which is the rate of increase in value. if you don't believe how fast Bitcoin has grown in value over it's short history, and if you want to see what the experts are predicting a Bitcoin will be worth in a year, (to say nothing of what it will be worth in 10 years) Check this emerging expert consensus page out at Canonizer.com:
If anyone has a different POV, you should get it canonized, to see how many experts agree with you, compared to the current emerging consensus.
You cannot send a tshirt over the internet at will.
Bitcoin allows any person in any country to pay any one else in any country, in any amount, at will, practically instantly, and practically free. Paypal and credit cards do not allow this and they are not likely to ever offer such a service. As Wordpress said when they started accepting Bitcoin, Paypal does not work in over 60 countries. Bitcoin serves the globe.
Uninformed critics have been making your arguments for at least two years now. Meanwhile, demand for Bitcoin has skyrocketed and so has the market price.
It takes days to wire money from bank to bank. With bitcoin it takes minutes to send it around the globe and back. Also by making the cost to the merchant to accept payment close to nothing this then passes on the savings to the consumers making them more likely to pay in bitcoins or buy from that retailer. Bitcoin also makes it possible to accept funds that payment processors may refuse to accept, such as how bitcoin and litecoin are the only way to donate money to wikileaks. It has its advantages other than the ideological revolution that is also thankfully represents.
Sure, sure, Bitcoin has no particular value to retailer... Even though existing Paypals and Mastercards of the world rip the merchant off 3-6% of their revenue (which is comparable to the percentage of online retailer's profit in most cases). And make him swallow fraud losses to boot. While Bitcoin acceptance is fee free, and fraud is 0 (yes, ZERO).
Of course, retailers should stick to "proven" payment systems and currencies and shun the Bitcoin by all means.
Retail commerce is just one use for Bitcoin; it also has major potential to move in on the global remittances market, estimated at $400 billion.
As others before me have pointed out, you are obviously completely ignorant about this subject.
Bitcoin takes out the middle man. Bitcoins can flow directly from the consumer's computer to the merchants server. All the overhead of the credit card processing industry is alleviated. Furthermore, those bitcoins, once they reach the merchant, are his. They cannot be taken back by a fraudulent consumer. Bitcoins will streamline and simplify online payments; and as they become more ubiquitous and bitcoin infrastructure spreads they will grow in convenience.
Thank you for the chuckle.
Johnny remembers trying to describe the Internet to people back in the year 1995. They often looked quizzically at him and shook their heads.
After all, they said, they were "perfectly fine visiting the library and reading newspapers for all the information they need". Therefore, there was no reason for them to ever use the Internet.
Bet they won't admit to that now!
Oh the irony of it all. I just bought a tee shirt from an online shop ("Something Geeky") using bitcoin.
Bitcoin may never become a main stream currency because it has been adopted by those trading in illicit goods and services internationally who want to hide from tax and law enforcement.
Looks like click-bait to try and sell t-shirts. Am I the only one who feels Econsultancy has gone downhill over the recent months?
Interesting comments and I appreciate your different points of view.
I would not describe myself as "archaic" I have been around for some time. I was using the Internet in the late 80s and commercially exploiting the WWW since 1996.
In that time I have seen is a great many good ideas by much cleverer people than me fail because the consumers or business's do not "get it". If customers have to give it more than 5 minutes research to "get it" then they are unlikely to do so. I have learned this the hard way with my own effort and money "Clever does not sell, simple and needed does".
If enough people do "get it", then I will obviously support it but as a ecommerce platform and retailer I have a 1000 higher customer priorities to work on before a whole new currency that not a single seller or buyer as ever requested.
PS The using T-Shirts was sarcastic a joke
PPS If you think writing opinions is a good ROI to sell T-Shirts then you are sadly mistaken. This is my industry and I like contribute, that is all
"If enough people do "get it", then I will obviously support it but as a ecommerce platform and retailer I have a 1000 higher customer priorities to work on before a whole new currency that not a single seller or buyer as ever requested."
That part is fine, but your article goes much further than that, in fact you say:
"Ultimately, I do not believe that Bitcoin is valuable to society or commerce; therefore it is unlikely to catch on."
Can you see how those two comments significantly differ? One is assessing the current demand for something and making the objective decision to not prioritise its implimentation, that's sensible, although hardly a groundbreaking opinion seeing as next to no retailers take bitcoin yet.
The second reads like an ill-informed opinion which isn't really backed up by a single bit of evidence in your piece. To suggest there's no benefit to Bitcoin at all is ridiculous, the growth in its value has already proven your statement incorrect.
Agreed the first statement is reality. If my customers want it regardless of my personal opinion I will do it. For example my customers like Twitter, I do not. I use Twitter to communicate with interested customers who like it as a communication tool.
The second is personal conjecture. I fail still fail to see why it is beneficial to consumers and therefore ecommerce. Credit cards, direct payment or other methods work well and cost the consumer nothing. Therefore I do not see why the average consumer will want to use it. If they do not see a compelling reason to adopt it then no retailer will. Therefore I do not think I will ever have to work with Bitcoin for my customers.
As a mass market retailer I tried to find 10 reasons as to why the average consumer might want to use Bitcoin:
1) Better security - but most customers are not unhappy with transaction security via existing methods, they live with risk. And those that are worried tend to shop with trusted brands to reduce the risk rather than move payment methods.
2) Zero % fraud - This is a retailer problem not a consumer one. Most credit cards offer fraud protection to consumers. The cost covered by the transactor and retailer, so the consumer does not care. Retailers cannot force consumers to use payment to suit their needs. I promise you that if I could reduce the 1% fraud on my business I would.
3) Lower costs - not to the consumer, very few retailers offer lower costs to non-credit card payers. Many are not allowed under their payment contracts. Other than tickets for events and travel it is rare to extra charges for credit cards and most consumers have debit cards.
4) Less complexity - hmmm so a consumer has to get another currency from their every day one and then try and work out the pricing. Well that will be easier.
5) Ideology or "sticking it to the man" - the mass market is "the man", works for the man or does not care. Therefore this will always make it a minority issue.
6) Taking out the middle man - only has an advantage if the consumer gets a lower cost or cares about "sticking it to the middle-man"
7) Speed of transaction - the average consumer does not care. "I make a payment I get my product. I guess the money gets there in the end". If you are transferring large enough amounts that interest over a 24 hour transaction becomes a problem them yes this may be of interest. But this has only happened 2 times in my life when buying or selling a company, and simple methods exist to deal with it, this is not mass market.
8) No regulating tax authority - but most consumers pay income tax from salary and buy goods from VAT tax paying retailers. Perhaps some self employed people might like the idea but then the companies who pay them still have to declare payments. So only tax avoiding rich or criminals will care.
9) e-wallet - this ideas I like but I have seen plenty of evidence that people are using paypal as a wallet. And in the last decade their have been 1000s of attempts to get to critical mass on e-wallets. The people who win here will be mobile phone billers who can use the phone as a wallet and have the consumer already. I bet on Vodafone or O2 over Bitcoin.
10) Accepted globally. I have to over 40 countries in my life and never had a problem with Visa or Mastercard. For personal reasons I have had to send money to Tanzania, Ethopia and Cambodia but standard cheap banking systems have never been a problem. So only useful if you are trying to do business in very strange places. Again not mass market.
So in the end Bitcoin seems to be a system that will work for tax avoiding rich who are anti-establishment and need to send money to really difficult places. Being ironic it sounds like rich public school boys on their year off before university. But it is not mass market.
I receive 100s of requests a month from consumers and our ecommerce platform sellers wanting Amazon checkout and payment. We have yet to have one for Bitcoin.
If Bitcoin is not mass market then it will be of little use to ecommerce retailers and platforms. And that was the title of my thought opinion.
Again I am more than happy to be proved wrong. But I want to see and argument for mass market usage. If you are hunting for ideas also look up Beenz, Flooz and Speedbucks.
I don't know how you arrived at the conclusion that bitcoin has no value to society.
You need to do more research.
@Keith I'm sure there are much better ways of selling more t-shirts than writing a guest blog about Bitcoin. Also, if I wanted to boost pageviews with 'click-bait' this isn't the topic I would choose.
We have guest bloggers to add a range of opinions and perspectives to the site. You may not agree with Philip's views on Bitcoin but I think it's perfectly valid for an experienced ecommerce professional to put forth his views on the subject.
Out of interest, what makes you think we've gone downhill in the past few months?
If you are really interested Bitcoin is just like any other currency and can be defrauded.
And it is not the first time
eConsultancy has not gone down hill, but our industry's and societys ability to debate has. Everyone wants a sound bite in 140 characters and it is easier to be rude than debate the issue.
21st century version of the 'Tulip bubble 1637'
The truth of the matter is that no matter where the tide swings, all you need is access to the right information. For instance, you can always sell your bitcoin and make great gains anytime. You are guaranteed to always sell for very good profit on a website that deal with only bitcoin sales like - www. bulkxchain. com

Apparently, the Dolphins philosophy has changed from rummaging through the remains of Dallas' 2000s disappointment to Texas A&M's more current disappointment. The team signed former Aggies fullback Jorvorskie Lane, who played under Dolphins offensive coordinator Mike Sherman when Sherman was in College Station.
Lane's also a brother of Packers tight end Jermichael Finley (most people would say Lane and Finley are "half-brothers" but I have a so-called "half-brother" and it feels an insult to call him anything other than my "brother.").
The fullback seems less like a Lane and more like an entire block at 5-11, 277. Not surprising, then that he Pete Johnson-ed his way to 49 touchdowns in 49 college games and 2,090 yards on 461 carries. He didn't get drafted in 2009 after he appeared unable to run at a too-robust-for-even-Woody-Hayes 290-295. He's spent time both the Indoor Football League and the Arena Football League.
My first thought was to wonder if he was related to former massive NFL fullback MacArthur Lane, a Pro Bowl back in 1970. Couldn't find any connection however.

Tucked between Romania and Ukraine, Moldova is a hidden gem that we feel deserves your attention. Moldovan wine is the focus of most visits but take time to explore the capital, Chisinau, and make sure you visit the Soviet throwback self-proclaimed republic of Transdniestr.
Chisinau hasn't quite shaken off its heritage with its 20th-century Soviet architecture but this is tempered by tree-lined boulevards and numerous parks. Don't be fooled by the severity of the architecture though as the Moldovans know how to party and the night life is legendary.
On your Moldova holidays, use Chisinau as a base and venture out of town to the fortress at Soroco, home to a large gypsy population who live in lavish mansions.
Transdniestr is an enigma where the Soviet Union lives on. But in Tiraspol, where Socialist banners and monuments to Soviet heroes abound, smart shops and chic restaurants are making an appearance so go soon before it loses its quirky nature.
Join the monks at the spectacular Orheuil Vecha cave monastery carved into a limestone cliff, tour the vineyards on the Wine Route and then settle back to enjoy the mud treatments and thermal springs at Cahul.
As the poorest country in Europe, Moldova has limited resources to care for its disabled children. British charity, ChildAid, works with Hippocrates rehabilitation centre in Chisinau to provide free treatment to over 200 children from the poorest families each year. We can arrange visits to Hippocrates where you can meet the staff and learn more about their work. Any gifts, clothes or toys for the children are gratefully appreciated. ChildAid is running an appeal to raise vital funds - to find out more, make a donation or sponsor a child please visit their website www.childaidrr.org.uk

We can not even begin to tell you how much we love this easy lemon chicken. It's far from boring. Instead the chicken is juicy, flavorful and easy to make. Jump to the Lemon Chicken recipe or read on to see how we make it.
This recipe bursts with lemon along with herbs, such as oregano and thyme, as well as toasted garlic and tangy mustard. It all starts with chicken thighs that we rub with mustard, lemon zest and dried herbs. Then, we sear it in a hot pan, creating a golden brown crust. After that, we add lots of tart lemon juice and savory chicken stock then slide it into a hot oven until the chicken is juicy and cooked through.
You May Also Like this Lemon Garlic Baked Chicken Breast recipe: If you've been searching for a oven baked chicken breast recipe that guarantees chicken that's juicy, tender and flavorful then you should take a look!
This is no ordinary chicken recipe. It's one you'll think about and crave for days.
Not ordinary at all, but the best part? It's easy and is so versatile. Serve with rice and vegetables or with mashed potatoes. Pasta, even.
You Can Use Chicken Thighs or Chicken Breasts
We love making this lemon chicken recipe with bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, however, you could certainly use chicken breast. If you can find them, try bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts. When cooked, they are moist and juicy. You could also use skinless chicken breasts — the chicken won't be as succulent, but will still be delicious.
TRY THIS IN A SLOW COOKER: We made a slow cooker spin off. See how we make ultra tender lemon chicken in our slow cooker with a lemony chicken gravy. So delicious! See the Slow Cooker Chicken Recipe.

Easy Lemon Chicken Recipe with Herbs
Far from boring, this lemon chicken recipe is moist, flavorful and easy to make. It bursts with lemon flavor along with herbs, toasted garlic and tangy mustard. At home, we use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, which we've found to be more moist and flavorful than chicken breast. With that said, this recipe can be made with chicken breasts and will still be very tasty.
You Will Need
1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs, skin-on, bone-in, trimmed of excess fat
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon lemon zest (1 teaspoon for rub and 2 teaspoons for sauce)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (1 tablespoon for rub, 1 tablespoon for cooking)
1/4 cup (60 ml) lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1 1/4 cups (300 ml) low-sodium chicken stock, see our chicken stock recipe
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Prepare Chicken
- Cook Chicken
- To Finish
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Make rub for chicken. Combine mustard, 1 teaspoon of the lemon zest, oregano, thyme, salt and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a small bowl. Use fingers or a brush to coat chicken on both sides with the mustard rub.
In another bowl or measuring jug, combine remaining lemon zest (2 teaspoons), lemon juice and the chicken stock. Set aside.
Heat remaining tablespoon of oil in a large oven-safe skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the smashed garlic then cook about 1 minute or until you can smell toasted garlic and the garlic has browned around the edges. Remove and discard the garlic, but leave the oil.
Add the chicken, skin-side down, into the hot garlic-infused oil and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the skin has turned golden brown.
Flip chicken then add the lemon juice mixture from before. Stir then slide the pan into the oven and bake 25 to 35 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 175 degrees F.
Remove pan from oven then transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. There should still be liquid in the pan. Place the pan over medium heat and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, use your fingers to mix butter and flour together, making a dry, crumbly paste. Whisk the flour and butter into the sauce. The sauce will thicken slightly and look glossy. Nestle the chicken back into the pan then serve.

How to reference an annual report
Recent Monthly Average Mauna Loa CO2
Last updated: August 5, 2015
The graph shows recent monthly mean carbon dioxide measured at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii.
The last four complete years of the Mauna Loa CO2 record plus the current year are shown. Data are reported as a dry air mole fraction defined as the number of molecules of carbon dioxide divided by the number of all molecules in air, including CO2 itself, after water vapor has been removed. The mole fraction is expressed as parts per million (ppm). Example: 0.000400 is expressed as 400 ppm.
In the above figure, the dashed red line with diamond symbols represents the monthly mean values, centered on the middle of each month. The black line with the square symbols represents the same, after correction for the average seasonal cycle. The latter is determined as a moving average of SEVEN adjacent seasonal cycles centered on the month to be corrected, except for the first and last THREE and one-half years of the record, where the seasonal cycle has been averaged over the first and last SEVEN years, respectively.
The last year of data are still preliminary. pending recalibrations of reference gases and other quality control checks. The Mauna Loa data are being obtained at an altitude of 3400 m in the northern subtropics, and may not be the same as the globally averaged CO2 concentration at the surface .
Full Mauna Loa CO2 record
Monthly mean atmospheric carbon dioxide at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii
The carbon dioxide data ( red curve ), measured as the mole fraction in dry air, on Mauna Loa constitute the longest record of direct measurements of CO2 in the atmosphere. They were started by C. David Keeling of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in March of 1958 at a facility of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [Keeling, 1976]. NOAA started its own CO2 measurements in May of 1974, and they have run in parallel with those made by Scripps since then [Thoning, 1989]. The black curve represents the seasonally corrected data.
Data are reported as a dry mole fraction defined as the number of molecules of carbon dioxide divided by the number of molecules of dry air multiplied by one million (ppm).
Annual Mean Growth Rate for Mauna Loa, Hawaii
The table and the graph show annual mean carbon dioxide growth rates for Mauna Loa. In the graph, also decadal averages of
the growth rate are plotted, as horizontal lines for 1960 through 1969, 1970 through 1979, and so on.
The annual mean rate of growth of CO2 in a given year is the difference in concentration between the end of December and the start of January of that year. If used as an average for the globe, it would represent the sum of all CO2 added to, and removed from, the atmosphere during the year by human activities and by natural processes. There is a small amount of month-to-month variability in the CO2 concentration that may be caused by anomalies of the winds or weather systems arriving at Mauna Loa. This variability would not be representative of the underlying trend for the northern hemisphere which Mauna Loa is intended to represent. Therefore, we finalize our estimate for the annual mean growth rate of the previous year in March, by using the average of the most recent November-February months, corrected for the average seasonal cycle, as the trend value for January 1. Our estimate for the annual mean growth rate (based on the Mauna Loa data) is obtained by subtracting the same four-month average centered on the previous January 1. Preliminary values for the previous year are calculated in January and in February.
The estimated uncertainty in the Mauna Loa annual mean growth rate is 0.11 ppm/yr. This estimate is based on the standard deviation of the differences between monthly mean values measured independently by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and by NOAA/ESRL. The annual growth rate measured at Mauna is not the same as the global growth rate, but it is quite similar. One standard deviation of the annual differences MLO minus global is 0.26 ppm/year.
DataThe complete Mauna Loa CO2 records described on this page are available.

Mauna Loa CO2 annual mean growth rates
Additional CO2 data from Mauna Loa and other worldwide sampling sites can be found using the ESRL/GMD Data Navigator of public data sets.
These values are subject to change depending on quality control checks of the measured data, but any revisions are expected to be small.

Bombs Away! is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti by Haitian gang leader Auntie Poulet in Little Haiti, Vice City.
Auntie Poulet wants Tommy to destroy a fleet of Cuban boats that are used to traffic drugs. She drugs Tommy and instructs him to enter a Top Fun van nearby to use RC Barons to drop bombs over the Cubans on Starfish Island. Tommy remotely pilots the RC Baron and manages to destroy all the Cuban boats and kill any Cubans who witnessed this event, including one in a Cuban Hermes.
Tommy Vercetti: Oh, sorry, I - I must have the wrong address...
Auntie Poulet: Well, you might as well come in and rest your soles and have some tea. Do you have something there for me, Tommy?
Tommy Vercetti: Yeah... This place feels familiar to me, uh - it's - a smell from childhood - a deja vu...
Auntie Poulet: Now Tommy, I'm going to whisper a lickle errand for you. Hear me well, aye?
Tommy Vercetti: You look like someone I, I...
Auntie Poulet: The Cubans (bolded dialogue sometimes replaced with "Them") have fast boats they use to cross the seas with drugs. It is their livelihood. Me nephew bin making lickle flying bombs to take dem out. Blow de boats to coffin wood.
Tommy Vercetti: Thanks for the tea.
The reward for completing this mission is $2,000. The mission Dirty Lickin's is unlocked.
- There is a glitch where after the cutscene right before you drive the RC plane you can get out. When that cutscene fades away, you can instead drive to the place and kill everyone and destroy the vehicles and pass the mission. The Cubans do not attack back when this happens.

Tax season officially kicks off today
IRS now accepting individual tax returns
Tax season officially kicks off today
IRS now accepting individual tax returns
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —
On Wednesday, the IRS will begin accepting individual tax returns, and processing them for refunds.
This is a week later than last year.
The delay was caused when Congress changed its tax laws on Jan. 1, and the IRS had to upgrade its systems.
1040 filers can get their returns in by going online or mailing them.
The IRS said filing electronically is the best option for taxpayers who want to get their refunds sooner.
E-filers using direct deposit can get their refunds in a week or two.
The IRS said staff is still working to upgrade its software, so those with more complex tax returns will have to wait until late February or March to file.
An exact date still has to be announced.
