August 2, 2014
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Virginia emergency officials are blaming two traffic-related deaths on superstorm Sandy.
The Virginia Department of Emergency Management said Tuesday that the medical examiner's office had confirmed that two traffic fatalities were caused by the storm.
Both occurred in central Virginia, but officials did not immediately give any other details.
The storm brought tropical-force winds and flooding to the eastern and central part of the state on Monday and dumped snow in southwest Virginia and along the higher elevations.
More than 180,000 statewide were without power.

Pink Burger. Huh??
OMG... thank you for my morning laugh! That is the single most ridiculous burger website I have EVER seen.
"Pink Burger's "Sex and the City" philosophy fuses fresh colors, chic black and white art and scrumptious food to create a dazzling dining experience." What exactly is a "Sex and the City" philosophy as it relates to food, exactly?
I'm not sure what's funnier, the "concept" page with it's description of the "Sex on Fire" pizza or the fact that they think that a hot woman in pink underwear and pink spike heels is the way to sell burgers and pizzas.
On their franchise page, they talk about how selection the right location is imperative. Given that their first location is in Aurora, I guess their target market is suburban, 20-somethings who will think this is an authentic "urban" experience.
Once again, I think you're going to have to take one for the team and go check it out and report back.
re: TorontoJo
It just gets better! I dare you to go and order the following:
French Kiss (poutine)
Don't Call Me Baby (burger with jalapeno, cheese whiz, onions, red pepper and pickle)
Shake Your Booty (marshmallow and nutella shake)
The target market is clearly not guys looking for a burger and a beer.
re: TorontoJo
re: acd123
Oh, you're absolutely right about the concept. It's laughably ridiculous. But I just couldn't get over the web site with its club music and the hot chick in underwear. It really does seem like a joke. I do hope someone who lives north of the city goes to check it out and report back. I'm kinda dying to hear about it.
re: acd123
re: TorontoJo
re: TorontoJo
This would be great Dragon's Den material!
Franchising? Too funny.
re: Derksen
35k for a franchise fee and they haven't even opened their doors? (based on what proven track record?) this must be a biz school project or something.... this can't be real.
Though, I am a little afraid of the woman in the bikini with the handcuffs... located on the concept page...
And here I thought you had found that Toronto holy grail, a burger still pink in the middle
re: julesrules
Actually Moose Winooskees in Kitchener were serving burgers that were still pink in the middle. A friend of mine took me to lunch there last summer and she got a burger still pink in the middle. She of course is one of the more paranoid types regarding pink burgers and asked the manager why her burger was pink. The manager asked the cook about the burger and was told that's how a burger is usually served, however the manager sided with my friend, had the burger cooked through and gave us our meals complimentary!
re: scarberian
re: tjr
Maybe it depends on who's cooking back there. I also remember Hot House Cafe years ago (~12 years ago) used to asked their customers how they wanted their burger cooked. I had requested mine to be medium rare and it was served exactly that way. It was one of the best burgers I've ever had in this city. Now, as someone has pointed out, you can't get that anymore.
Hot House

But what if the burgers are really good, fresh-ground and cooked to order? WHAT THEN?!? I am terrified at the prospect of eating here, but I like good burgers. Oh the dilemma.

re: childofthestorm
Based on the picture of the burgers cooking on the grill below, I don't think you're gonna get a great burger here. They look very uniform and compact. Like they're frozen.
I do know this place isn't open yet but I really actually think I'll pull a Barney Stinson here.
T.O.Jo "Challenge accepted"!!!
Ha ha! I especially loved the featured krinkle-cut fries...right out of the McCain bag?
I was like, "what's w/ the pics of NYC for a burger franchise in Aurora, ON?" I wonder if the waitresses wear Manolos.
re: GoodGravy
re: TorontoJo
Yeah, the main bg image isn't NYC, but the shot from the Bklyn Bridge is. I'm wondering if the bankers even read the business plan before handing over the loan. Maybe I should open up a franchise called Twilight Burgers. The Edward will be a poached chicken sandwich with mayo and the Jacob will be locally caught wolves pumped up w/ steroids.
re: GoodGravy
re: GoodGravy
On their FB page under pictures there's one of what I think is South Beach.
I guess this is the place where you can order a real "McGangBang" huh?
Almost sounds like someone wanted to merge Sex and the City with Bitchin' Kitchen and maybe a little In-N-Out into the mix? :-)
Reading the responses makes me glad my computer speaker was muted. The site itself was enough of an abomination.
OK, Davwud, please fess up. Did you ACTUALLY see the store front in Aurora? Or are you in on the hoax of the week? A friend of mine saw the site and is convinced it's a joke, because "it's a far too perfectly executed collection of wrong."
re: TorontoJo
re: Davwud
all the stupid crap aside, this could be a good burger potentially, couldnt it?
Atleast its different then the big chains, its probably worth trying out. Since its from Wild Wing people, I hope this means tons of variety in Burgers, options are always good. They however dont mean anything if the base burger/bun isnt good. If the burger meat is fresh and good and the buns are quality, this could be very promising.
Id hope for better fries tho, a good french fry is key.
Then again, If I want a good burger and fries, Ill go to The Real Mccoy.
re: jmarcroyal
I know this may sound crazy to some of you, but even it's a really good burger (I seriously doubt it will be) I would never set foot in there. I said it above and I'll say it again: it's a breathtakingly dumb concept which would ruin the experience no matter how good the burger.
I would have loved to listen in on the owners' "brainstorming" session.They must have been, like, yeah, this is a great idea, burger place with a SITC theme, with cute burger names and girly decore. I'm laughing just thinking about it.
I've got all the burgers I need for now:
Burger's Priest
Harbord Room
Burger Shack
Merci Mon Ami (only on Wednesdays)
Ceili Cottage
Craft Burger
Hodad's (unfortunately, located in San Diego's so only in February)
Nota Bene
I don't need this one.

re: Davwud
Wild Wing is behind this? Sounds like they're "diversifying" their business now that the American chain they copied will be in town soon...
re: Davwud
Bah ! They have a Pink Car http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pink-Bu...
re: hungryabbey
ok but check this, given its location is going to be in the club district, im guessing its going to be a late night spot for after club eats. If you were with a group of girls all dressed up for the clubs and they wanted to go grab some food(lets face it, they all do, usually McDonalds), why wouldnt you go to this place?
I kinda like the idea of getting a good burger while surrounded by scantily clad drunken women.
Thats the only situation Id go to the place...
re: jmarcroyal
How do you figure it's in a club district??
It's at the corner of Wellington and Bayview in Aurora. There's not a club for a few miles.
re: jmarcroyal
re: TorontoJo
its downtown....wellington and bathurst:
Part of the Savory menu-
Nutty proffessor - Nutella and whipped cream????
am not sure if my taste buds would agree to this being salty!!
When you google streetview the address there are no buildings, just a bunch of trees??
re: canadianbeaver
re: canadianbeaver
The address pops up in the wrong location. There's nothing at Bathurst and Wellington.
The street view is from when the plaza was under construction. The Longo's is now open as is most of the plaza.
Is this place open yet? Not that I plan on driving all the way up to Aurora just for a laugh....

re: Davwud
No rush... probably best to give them a few weeks to iron out the bugs. Then if they have service/quality issues when you go, they have no excuse....
Their website, Facebook page, and Twitter feed don't seem to be making a big deal of their grand opening, as if they're trying to keep the crowds small until they're 100% ready for them.
The name of this place and the website sound cheesy BUT I know if I wanted to do a fun girls' night out here....it would be a hoot. It would be a one time thing though unless I was so impressed by the food that I would want to go back.
Sounds like a fun (one time) thing to do.
re: TOchowgal
Here's the thing....it's a total letdown....
I live a few blocks away and I'm always game for a new burger joint, so I was anxious. Bottom line, not good at all.
The burger is mushy with NO flavour at all and the sauces are generic at best. The fries taste like a batch from New York Fries, but way underdone.
Now, my real beef (pun intended) is the scam on the "make your own" burgers....they charge you for ANYTHING over 4 toppings! I had to pay $0.69 for mustard!!! (I have the receipt to prove it). I don't think that ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles and onions is an order that warrants a "premium" surcharge.
Anyways, I could forgive all that if it was a great burger....but it's not. Save your time and go to Licks or South Street....both are infinitely better.
Okay, file this place under
They're gone. Less than 6 months later they're closed and advertising a new Rib Crib is about to open up.
I don't hold much hope for this place either but reviews I've seen seem to be good.
re: Davwud
re: Davwud
re: Davwud
You sure it's the same RibCrib chain you linked to? Given their focus (based in Oklahoma and nothing further north than IA or east than MO), I can't see such a chain expanding to Canada while just skipping over IL, IN, NY, OH, PA, MI, etc....
Almost sounds like yet another case of Mr. Wild Wing copying a U.S. chain name to block them from coming in... Here are some more ideas for him to open (and epic-fail in months):
Cheesecake Depot
F.P. Chan's
Golden Star Chili
Gene O's East Pizza
Dreamy Land BBQ
Get-In-And-Get-Out Burger
Barrel of Crackers
C.C.'s Pizza
Illegal Seafood
re: TexSquared
re: Davwud
Same font/logo as the U.S. chain? Sorry to be so nit-picky about it, want to know if it's legitimately the American restaurant expanding here, or a local clone of the real deal, meant to deceive (i.e. Houston vs Houston's, Wild Wing vs Buffalo Wild Wings, Alice Fazooli's vs Fazoli, etc)
re: TexSquared
re: Davwud
Perhaps part of a settlement with the BWW people?? I don't know who's behind what but it's pretty odd.

re: Pincus
Like I said, this guy wouldn't know an original idea if it bit him in the ass...
Not that the REAL Rib Crib based out of Oklahoma would ever expand here, as I explained above, but I'm of the opinion that the copycat is always inferior to the genuine article. And by this move, he's effectively prevented the real Rib Crib from ever coming up. This is wrong.
I guess he should open a chain of snack food stores that sell expensive pears and caramel corn and call them "Hairy David's" :-)
re: Pincus
re: Davwud
Ok, I went to "Rib Crib" for lunch today (was working from home and I live in Aurora). Bottom line: It's absolutely horrible.
First of all, it's the same guy behind the "Pink Burger" concept. Apparently I heard he owns the Wild Wing franchise as well. It's clear he has no clue about food, and is in it purely for the $.
I tried ordering the pulled pork, but was told "we are out of pork". Huh? It's 3/4 of your menu!.. "We are getting a delivery today, but it has to thaw anyway..." Frozen... lovely.. not suprised.
So, I ordered the brisket sandwich ($5.99) that doesn't come with ANYTHING. You have the option of ordering beans or slaw extra for $1.99. WTF? what BBQ place doesn't include anything on the side? They were out of slaw as well (at this point I was laughing). So i got the beans. My wife ordered the same sandwich (no side for her), and we shared an order of the fried pickles ($6.99) as an app.
The pickles came. Or.. I should say pickle (sing.). It was literally one pickle cut in quarters length wise... for 5 frickin bux... they tasted ok, wife hated them.
The sandwiches came. This isn't brisket. It's pulled like pulled pork... WTF? Not only that it is DROWNED in sauce. In fact, it might as well been pork, as you wouldn't be able to taste the difference. Size isn't very big, which would be forgiveable if it tasted good... But it didn't. It was horrible: Like eating a bun with sauce and no beef flavour. no smoke, no nothing. Garbage. The beans were even worse. basically Heinz out of a can thrown into a little plastic cup for $1.99 extra.
The bill came to $25. I gave the waitress a $5 tip because she was nice. So $30 for 2 sandwiches, 1 pop (wife had water), fried pickle, and side beans. complete and utter ripoff. Oh, the indigestion was free :)
Honestly, if you're in the area, drive a little farther north to Big Bone BBQ on Eagle st, as they serve up the real deal (same owners as Memphis in Vaughan). Even driving to Southern Rub in Vaughan is worth spending the gas money over this crap. At least those folks serve up authentic BBQ, and they are passionate about the food, rather than the "gimmick"
re: bananachipz
LOL. What a joke this guy has been to the food industry. A brisket that was more akin to pork. Interesting and I like the "we're out of pork" response from the staff and then the new shipment has to thaw. Wow. Thanks bananachipz for being the guineapig for the rest of us. Know that your sacrifice has saved many. It's nice to know that we in the east have Buster Rhinos. Now I feel for some real bbq ribs and brisket... pardon the drool.

re: bananachipz
re: bananachipz
I just want to clear one thing up. Was the beef definitely PULLED or was it CHOPPED?? Brisket will come chopped in some places. If it's pulled then it's just not read BBQ.
There's no excuse for drowning meat in sauce like that.
I also highly doubt there's any smoking going on. I was by there on the weekend, mid day, not smoke aroma anywhere. Also, if he's looking to franchise that may be a deal breaker for a lot of people.
TEX: I keep meaning to call Rib Crib in the US to see if they're affiliated. I'm wondering if they know and if not, do they care.
re: Davwud
It was pulled... .. I do a lot of my own with my Big Green Eggs, so I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to this stuff. I can't stand it when meat is smothered in sauce.
It looks as if his M.O. is franchising. Look at Wild Wing. I've heard from people that many franchisee's have pulled out because the guy lets one open on every corner. I'm sure his passion is in the $, and not the food.
re: bananachipz
Sounds like it's a Cysco type brisket product that probably arrives frozen and in a sauce already. Pauper's downtown used to serve something like that and I know the stringy pulled texture you're talking about that looks like a greyish pulled pork. Unless a machine is separated it I'd have no idea how one would do that by hand with actual smoked brisket.
re: bananachipz
re: Mr_Elusive
You can find where the real BBQ is by looking at other threads here.
Don't waste your time with anything owned by Wild Wing. They can't get wings right, they can't get burgers right, and they certainly can't get BBQ right. What cuisine will they butcher next? The company should be renamed "Poseur Restaurant Group"...
I know what he needs to do next.... AYCE Chinese Buffet! Same idea right? Fry up a bunch of chicken balls, drown them in 20 different sauces, bam, that's 20 unique items you can try!
re: bananachipz
I just wanted to make sure you had your facts straight. Good to know that you do.
There's no question that this guy is in it for the buck only. I know a few people who've been aproached by him and they say his deals are terrible.
I guess he hit a home run with WW and thinks he can apply the formula anything and it'll work.
re: Davwud
re: ylsf
Given that it is highly unlikely the real Rib Crib would ever expand here, they could care less. And given what we just heard above, the fake Rib Crib won't last anyway so why should the originals worry about them.
Maybe he should try opening up a new place called "Pseudo-Sushi" where you have a choice of 100 different California rolls and 20 different barbecue sauces to drown them in... Spicy Insanity Roll covered with Honey Garlic BBQ sauce, yum :-)

That and given the pattern of these last two epic failures, usually they have a very loud (Flash-infested) website and a busy Facebook page running months in advance of opening.

WASHINGTON (AP) - White House press secretary Jay Carney is calling the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Turkey "an act of terror."
The president's spokesman says it is not yet known who is responsible, but a suicide bombing on the perimeter of an embassy is, by definition, a terrorist act.
A suicide bomber detonated an explosive Friday in front of the embassy in Ankara. He killed himself and a Turkish guard in an attack that Turkish officials blamed on domestic leftists.
Turkish PM says outlawed Turkish Marxist group is responsible for US Embassy attack

JavaScript Application Cookbook
Author: Jerry Bradenbaugh
Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
URL: http://www.ora.com/
Price: $34.95 US
Reviewer: Ralph Krause
The JavaScript Application Cookbook written by Jerry Bradenbaugh and published by O'Reilly is a good resource for anyone who wants to take advantage of the power of JavaScript. Instead of providing a language tutorial or a collection of routines, the book contains fully functional JavaScript applications. Some of the applications included are a client-side search engine, a shopping cart, a context-sensitive help system, and a drag-and-drop application that lets users build their own DHTML e-mail greeting cards. The applications are fully functional and show how powerful JavaScript can be.
The application source code and images are available from O'Reilly's web site as one big Zip file. The book does contain the source code listings, but since some of them contain over 400 lines, I suggest downloading the file instead of trying to type the code from the book. While the code is not heavily commented, Mr. Bradenbaugh thoroughly explains it in the body of the book.
I downloaded the source code and ran all of the applications first on my home computer and then over the Web from my home page. All the applications run quickly within a browser and most of them load fairly quickly, even over a dial-up connection.
The book is made up of eleven chapters, each (except for one) containing one application. The chapter that does not include an application contains JavaScript routines that can be added to your existing code. Quite a few of the routines presented in this chapter are used in the other applications in the book.
Each chapter ends with a section called Potential Extensions. These sections provide thoughts on how the reader can extend and modify the application that was just presented. While some code snippets are provided, the majority of the work is left to the reader to accomplish.
The book contains three appendices. The first is a JavaScript reference. The second appendix provides links to JavaScript- and web-related resources, as well as sites with applications similar to the ones presented in the book. The third appendix contains a Perl/CGI overview.
Mr. Bradenbaugh provides quite a bit of explanation and code showing how to have your code determine if it is running on a Netscape or a Microsoft browser, then run correctly when doing such things as DHTML. I tried running some of the applications on both Netscape and Microsoft browsers, and they worked correctly each time.
The book's applications demonstrate good attention to detail. Such things as positioning buttons correctly when creating a page, positioning new browser windows so that they don't completely cover existing windows, and putting search results in alphabetical order are hallmarks of polished applications.
I did not find any errors in the book, and there were no errata on O'Reilly's web site when I looked. The only thing that was not correct as stated in the book are the web addresses for Internet Explorer information. These pages were moved by Microsoft when they redesigned their site.
I found the JavaScript Application Cookbook to be a useful book, containing applications that can be used right away. The explanations and code breakdown do a very good job of illustrating the power of JavaScript. While not a JavaScript primer, the book will be useful for someone with JavaScript experience who wants to create powerful programs.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Glen Rock police say they've nabbed a man who allegedly burglarized a Valley Road home back in September.
Oliver Blanco, 24, of Berkeley Heights, remains in Bergen County Jail on $100,000 bond on charges of burglary and theft.
Glen Rock Police Chief Frederick Stahman told Patch early Friday afternoon that detectives and sheriff's department personnel, lifted finger prints from the Valley Road home on Sept. 30. Cash and jewelry had been missing in the afternoon heist. Extensive interviewing, Stahman said, narrowed the suspect list to one man – Blanco.
Though police went to Blanco's last known address in Berkley Heights, Blanco was nowhere to be found. Detectives issued a warrant for his arrest, which was also disseminated in a state-wide messaging system. Weeks passed and there was still no sign of Blanco.
Then, a few days ago, Glen Rock detectives received a call. It was the Summit police. Blanco had checked into the hospital for what Stahman described as "minor health issues." The alleged burglar had been staying at his mother's house in Summit, Stahman told Patch.
On Wednesday, Blanco was in cuffs and transported to Bergen County Jail. Stahman congratulated Glen Rock detectives James Calaski and Eric Reamy for their work on the arrest.
Blanco will likely remain jailed until grand jury hearings.

The organized in the state since a recall movement began now has an official name: Celebrate Walker.
The event, scheduled for Jan. 21 in Wauwatosa's , also has a speaker schedule, a poster and flyer, its very own political action committee — and a new, young face and voice who organizers say looks and sounds like the conservative movement of the future.
Event organizers announced that 16-year-old Jerrid Madden of Muskego will be the first featured speaker of the day, following an introduction by state Sen. Leah Vukmir.
It's Jerrid's first speaking engagement, and he's not a bit nervous, even though he'll be followed by a dozen of the most prominent Republican leaders in the state. In fact, he's pumped up to be able to launch a rally for Walker, his political hero.
"You may not be old enough to vote, but you're old enough to get out the vote," Jerrid said. "I just try to do whatever I can to acknowledge people and enlighten them about politics and how it affects us every day."
Organizers are billing his speech as the introduction of the "Next Generation Conservative," and that will be his theme.
Jerrid, a sophomore at Mukwonago High School, began wearing a Stand With Walker button to school and before long was volunteering to counter-protest the Recall Walker movement and to pass out pro-Walker signs.
Jerrid is "a little bit different" than most teenagers, even those who have an interest in politics, said Paris Procopis, president of the new political action committee Onward Wisconsin, organized to support next Saturday's rally and others to come.
"He's inspired by some of the events he's gone to ... ultimately leading to, 'Hey, I want to get involved. I want to be able to help somehow.'"
Here's the announced order of events and speakers, subject to change, beginning at 1 p.m., with speakers tentatively scheduled every 15 minutes:
- Welcome – Pledge of Allegiance – National Anthem
- State Sen. Leah Vukmir
- Jerrid Madden, Mukwonago High School Student
- State Sen. Alberta Darling
- State Sen. Van Wangard
- State Rep.David Craig
- State Rep. Jeff Stone
- State Rep. Robin Vos
- Hispanic Chamber Board Member Perfecto Rivera
- Kim Simac
- State Sen. Glenn Grothman
- Dr. Tim Nerenz
- State Treasurer Kurt Schuller
- Former U.S. Congressman Mark Neumann, candidate for U.S. Senate
- State Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald, candidate for U.S. Senate
- Former Gov. Tommy Thompson
- Conclusion, now scheduled for 4:25 p.m.
The long-range forecast for the day is for overcast skies with a temperature of 33 degrees, and no snow or rain.
Some warmer temperatures are expected leading up to the event, with a current prediction of 40 degrees for Monday, which may melt some of the snow already on the ground. However, some new snow may fall later in the week as the thermometer dips again.

Lincoln authorities have confirmed the death of one person after a fire that destroyed a mobile home.
Police Sgt. Teresa Hruza told the Lincoln Journal Star that the other resident of the home was in critical condition at a Lincoln hospital.
Their names are not being released until their families have been notified.
Fire crews were dispatched to the home at 10:30 a.m. Sunday. Fire inspector Damon Robbins says a smoldering cigarette set a couch aflame.
Judith Angel lives across the street from where the fire occurred. She says the "very nice" couple who lived there had been her neighbors there for at least 20 years.

A Groves senior citizen who was the victim of a scam has words of caution for other senior citizens.
The 81-year-old man was embarrassed and did not want to publish has name after falling victim to what law enforcement call the "grandparent scam." Luckily the scammers hadn't cashed the MoneyGram and the victim was able to recoup his cash.
The man received a phone call from a person impersonating his grandson who lives out-of-state, saying he had went to a party, had a wreck and was in jail. A lawyer could get him out of jail and the incident not be on his permanent record if he sent $2,500.
The scammer then put another man on the phone claiming to be the attorney for the grandson. The phony attorney gave the Groves man instructions on how to send the money.
The Groves man then went to his bank and withdrew the money then to Walmart where he sent the money via MoneyGram, thus bringing his total to more than $2,800 with fees.
"He told me he'd have my grandson out of jail in about an hour so I waited and waited for the lawyer to call me back. It was over and hour and I figured the case got hung up," the man said.
He ended up calling his grandson and learning that he had been the victim of a scam. Once he learned of the scam he quickly went to the Groves Police Department and made a police report.
Several hours later the man visited Walmart and learned that the scammers had not picked up the MoneyGram. Relieved, the man called GPD to report the newest twist in the case.
"Think about it before you mail any money to anybody. Check with the person involved," the man said. "I just don't want it to happen to anybody else."
GPD City Marshal Jeff Wilmore confirmed he had spoken to the scam victim and added he has seen this and other scams many times.
"This is just one of the many different scams reported by different departments. Because they (scammers) do such a good job at acting and sounding like the family member it makes this more believable," Wilmore said. "These people have answers to every question you will ask. What you should do is call the family member yourself or whoever it is you need to call to make sure that family member is ok."
Wilmore added that the public needs to be skeptical about sending money via Western Union or MoneyGram because methods are often used for illicit activities.
Wilmore received a call about a different type of scam on Wednesday. In this scenario the caller states they are with Medicare and that the victim needs to get a new Medicare card. They already have valid information such as Social Security number and bank account number but not everything needed to take the money out of the account, he said.
Wilmore suggests if you are suspicious of a call then get the callers phone number and call them back.
And if you did send money as part of a scam then check to see if the money has been picked up and always call the police.
"It is extraordinarily hard for law enforcement to work these cases as they often come from out of the state and even from out of the country," he said. "Call the police if you are suspicious of a call. We would rather have 100 false alarms then for you not to call that one time when something really is happening."

Franz Ivancsich changed from the financial sector to the IT-industry in 2005, as software engineering processes constantly were part of his work life and became a passion over time. Being always interested in learning and personal growth, he also adopted skills in training as trainer for derivatives or at a university for applied sciences. Becoming a coach was a natural development for him. He combines a strong background in finance and experiences in different sectors with softskills and process knowledge like Scrum and Kanban, that are aimed to help people to develop a mindset of shaping themselves constantly to the better, what makes him a natural coach and trainer.

University of California head men's basketball coach Mike Montgomery has been reprimanded by the Pac-10 Conference for comments he made about the officiating following California's games at Washington on Thursday, February 10, and at Washington State on Saturday, February 12, Commissioner Larry Scott announced today. For those wondering about the comments, here they are: "They don't care," Montgomery said about the Huskies. "They foul every time at every position and they aren't going to call it every time. So ultimately you are going to get worn down after a while. They are very physical because they are able to play nine guys throughout the game. They just do not care if they foul they are not going to let you get to the basket.
The California Golden Bears picked up a lot of penalties that killed any chance at victory in their 35-7 defeat against the Oregon State Beavers, and in the end it looks as if most of them were...

SD is BEAUTIFUL. I love it even more than I did at SC. Not to worried about levels as everyone seems to be struggling with that (cause no one knows what they're looking for) but anyways it's magic.
SD is BEAUTIFUL. I love it even more than I did at SC. Not to worried about levels as everyone seems to be struggling with that (cause no one knows what they're looking for) but anyways it's magic.
So good that they did better than at SC, but I didn't doubt that they would. Still, a bit worried about polka levels. Sinitsina and Zhiganshin managed to get level 3 and 4. Monko and Khaliavin got level 4 too, although the other sequence was level 2. So, it's not like no one is able to get level 4. But I really hope that Tessa and Scott will get this sorted out until GPF. Overall, I liked their performance better than at SC, but that's understandable.
1) I like MM in glasses!
2) Marina holding the hand of first Scott and then Tessa while they do a couple of knee bends
3) how both MM and Marina seem to key in on Tessa & Scott while the Shibs seem left on their own. Now that could be just because we didn't see things earlier but I like how Marina is very much there for these two
4) liking how Scott made his way out from the crowd and off to the side where he is later joined by Tessa, MM & Marina. Guess he didn't feel the need to stay bunched up with the rest.
OK, now my question regarding the person posting this video and the other one of the warmup. I noticed that the title had Findlandia and when it first loaded I thought I was seeing the wrong thing cause I knew Tessa & Scott didn't go there this season but then when I saw them come out in their outfits, I knew it was for this season sooooo ... did the person who so wonderfully uploaded these files simply make a mistake in the title? Not trying to be nasty but if someone were trying to find the video using CoR or anything along those lines, my guess is those videos wouldn't come up. Anyone have any guesses as to why the difference in title? I'm just curious.
Crazy about sports!
I really feel for the Shib's. They are not one of my fave teams but I found it kind of bummerish that MM and MZ kind of ignored them. I think they need to find new coaches stat. Really surprised they didn't go with Igor.
I also liked this video for the funny factor. Yes stay far far away from Morozov! Last thing we need to read about is him being with Tessa!

Article about their SD:http://www.goldenskate.com/2012/11/v...ead-in-moscow/
Some people are using the quotes from Tessa and Scott to bash them and call them snobs on twitter. (I would post the link, but you know...) But I didn't see anything wrong with what either said. Do they sound arrogant to you guys?
Thanks IoanaC!
Anyone using THOSE quotes against were desperately looking for something and gleefully twisting any meaning there.
Tessa and Scott being called snobs for some of their comments today is really rubbing me the wrong way. I sort of equated what they said about the lifts to how some of the jumps can be for the singles skaters. We all know that what is considered an easier jump according to CoP can actually be a harder jump for some skaters and what is considered a harder jump actually easier. What CoP considers more difficult isn't always the case for each particular skater or team.
Yea I read the article twice and I'm just like which part is snobbish?! Actually they were pointing to the part where Tessa used the duck analogy .
Why waste time worrying about what others say behind an anoymous internet keyboard .. there will always be negativity in the skating world .. I don't pay attention.
was interesting to see how little they have to do to get a level4 on the lift. i'm watching this version while thinking that they initially wanted to flip her around his neck (plus whatever else that we didn't get to see) and that when all she has to do is stay on his shoulders? this plus the spin and how he touches her, reaching over to touch her face, while spinning... no extra mark but added difficulty. this is the first season where i can see how much extra they give to please themselves. they could please the judges with a whole lot less.
and thanks for using my suggestion for the thread title.
when tessa and scott fall or slip or miss a twizzle, haters concentrate on that. i didn't hear anything at sc about how fat tessa was or how snobbish they were. now that tessa and scott skated so well, now the petty, baseless criticism comes out. imo.
Just for context the duck analogy was the answer to a question in the press conference stating that they looked so calm before their skate and whether they get nervous before competition and if so how do they cope with it. Tessa said she was very nervous and put a lot of pressure on themselves, quack quack....
I thought the comparison to a duck was great: you don't see any effort in their skating, it's true.
If people are going to pick on those totally innocuous politically correct comments, then Scott might as well go back to saying they're the most artistic team of the last 10 years, since that was far more entertaining. Not to mention it's true.
I remember Tess used the duck analogy in their book. I truly think they are the best ever. I even love them more than I did Torvil and Dean, and I didn't think that would ever be possible. Thanks for all the links, pics and vids. You all are amazing!
Well, adventurous practice for Tessa and Scott. They practiced the lifts and the step sequences before it was their turn with the music, everything looked great, the did the beginning and then... the combination lift got stuck. She couldn't hold her position, he managed to hold her without dropping her. It wasn't pretty. They were nervous, lost concentration, skated a little through the music until the finale and had to abort the famous rotational lift as well. The music ended and, a few seconds later, they tried it again. This time it worked and I have absolutely no idea how Scott managed to provide comic relief by singing the ending himself, while twirling Tessa around! They were relieved, the people in the audience were relieved (about 30 press members and photographers), everybody cheered and clapped. They did the combo lift again, twice - the first time Tessa didn't hold her position enough, the second time it was perfect. When they left the ice there was clapping and cheering again (none of the other skaters received this special treatment)
I panicked for a moment, and I'm sure I'm going to be very nervous tonight, but I'm also aware that incidents like that will continue to happen as they perfect the program. When you look at the elements piece by piece, as they perform them in practice, it's even more obvious how unbelievably difficult it is, and how easy it would be to screw it up. It's like walking on a tight rope. They're taking major risks, but it's obvious that people love and respect them for that.
So, I hope they get "in the zone" again, to concentrate for tonight.
Other impressions: the Shibs have great costumes; I couldn't really get the feel of the program, because they skipped through the choreo parts and only did step sequences (which weren't great, I have to say...) and lifts (new for them, as far as I could tell). It's interesting to compare teams when you watch them live. Elena and Nikita have speed and power, but not much finesse; with the Shibs it's the other way around. Unfortunately for them, power gets you more points. Their step sequences felt a bit shallow and they don't cover much ice. Elena and Nikita are sweeping, but you can drive a truck between them. Tessa and Scott's diagonal step seq is a masterpiece, it makes the rink look too small for them.
Since it's going to be my only chance to watch Carmen live, I'll try to enjoy every moment of it and forget the nerves (who am I kidding?)...
Thank you Ioana again ....I hope they nail that lift today.......

Whit's Knits: Elizabeth Zimmermann's Baby Booties
I have long loved these Elizabeth Zimmermann booties. Last year I made them with fingering weight yarn to fit my newborn baby, and they got him through his first cold winter. Recently my family received wonderful news that made me want to knit some bigger booties.
My sister-in-law has been trying to adopt a baby for a long time, and this month she was finally told that there is a beautiful baby boy who needs her. He gets to come home in January and, by then, will be ten months old. His name is James, and his smile would melt an ice cube.
From waiting in line to waiting for a baby to arrive, knitting is how I get through all the episodes in my life that challenge my patience. I'm pretty sure that the next three months are going to yield a whole pile of hand knits for little James!

Tavon Austin's Scout.com recruiting profile may have said it best. "Trying to tackle Austin," it read, "is like trying to catch a rabbit in a cornfield."
As a senior at Maryland's Dunbar High School, Austin lived up to that description, breaking the state's career rushing record with 7,460 yards on the ground. He scored 123 career touchdowns and racked up nearly 10,000 total offensive yards.
So when the WVU coaches made the decision to stick the senior — who has played slot receiver pretty much his whole career in Morgantown — in the backfield to see what he could do against No. 13 Oklahoma Saturday, Austin was more than ready for the assignment.
"I had said a couple things to Coach (Dana) Holgorsen and the coaching staff about putting me back there a couple times," said Austin. "I always told them that's what I did in high school, and I still have it a little bit. Some games they give it to me a little bit in zone. That's why I wanted to run it up the middle, and they gave me a chance."
Austin's first carry was nothing spectacular. On WVU's opening drive, he got the ball on a second-down play and was stuffed at the line of scrimmage. But after catching a Geno Smith pass to pick up a first down on the next play, he got the ball in the backfield and this time ran for nine yards. Maybe he did have the ability to carry it as a running back, after all.
Austin didn't touch the ball again on that opening series, and Dustin Garrison and Andrew Buie, WVU's traditional running backs, got the first two touches of the next series. But Austin got the next three, running for 5, 6 and 31 yards on three straight plays, driving the ball into OU territory and down to the 11-yard line.
He didn't touch it again on the drive, and WVU had to settle for a Tyler Bitancurt field goal.
At the end of one quarter, Austin had five carries for 51 yards and there was some rumbling in the stands at Mountaineer Field about just how effective he might be as a full-time running back.
WVU didn't hand it to Austin at all on the first drive of the second quarter, and the Mountaineers went three-and-out, so when they got the ball back after Cecil Level recovered an Oklahoma fumble, the WVU coaches knew just what to do. Austin carried the football four times on a 48-yard scoring drive, gaining 13 yards, while also catching a 17-yard pass, as the Mountaineers tied the game at 10-all.
The WVU coaches were quickly figuring it out. When Austin was touching the ball, good things were happening for the Mountaineers.
"You try to find things that are working, and obviously it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that was working," said offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson. "So we just kept doing it. It wasn't anything magical."
Still unsure of the load he could carry, though, WVU still tried to limit Austin's touches. Down 17-10 after a quick OU score on a 76-yard touchdown pass, Austin's only touch on the next possession was a 26-yard kickoff return, and again the Mountaineers went three-and-out.
That's when WVU decided it was going to throw caution to the wind, feed Austin the ball and ride him as far as he would take them.
Over the course of the next 35 minutes of game action, Austin carried the ball 11 times, including runs of 74, 56, 54 and 47 yards.
His most impressive run, though, may have come on a third-and-goal at the OU 4-yard line when Austin was met by defenders at the line of scrimmage and made two Sooners miss on his way to the end zone for a score that brought the Mountaineers back within one score of the Sooners, 38-30. Former WVU kicker Pat McAfee, now with the Indianapolis Colts, described it best on his Twitter account, comparing the run to a video game. "Tavon's run went L1, R1, speed burst, 6," wrote McAfee, citing the controller commands used in EA Sports' NCAA Football franchise.
"He put us on his back," said running backs coach Robert Gillespie. "He went out there and played hard and played a lot of reps. We moved him around, and we knew going into the game that we had to find a way to get the ball into our best player's hands. Right now, he's that. He did a great job."
"You want to get him the ball as much as possible, and when you put him at receiver, there's ways that people can take him away," Dawson added. "That was one of our motives of putting him in the backfield. To take him away, you have to stand in the backfield with him, and you can't do that by rules of the game."
Austin ended the game with 344 rushing yards, breaking the previous school record of 337, set by Kay-Jay Harris against East Carolina in 2004. Harris and Austin are the only two backs in Mountaineer history to top the 300-yard mark.
"Being in the backfield, it felt like I was back at Dunbar," said Austin, before admitting that the numbers would have meant more had WVU not fallen a point short in the 50-49 loss . "But I have to give credit to the coaching staff, the offensive line and Geno making the right checks. I was able to make a couple people miss in open space.
"It probably took me about two or three plays, but everything came back in how I would read blocks, and it worked. They told me I was going to get the ball quite a bit, but I didn't think it was going to be 21 times."
Those 21 totes weren't Austin's only contribution. He also caught four passes for 82 yards, and he brought back eight kickoffs for 146 yards. In total, he racked up 572 all-purpose yards, the most in the FBS this season. He broke the Big 12 record for all-purpose yards in a game and fell just six yards short of breaking the FBS single-game record of 578.
Austin became the first player in WVU history to score a touchdown in four different ways in one season — catch, rush, kick return and punt return.
The obvious question after Austin started one game at running back and broke a school record, is what would have happened if he had been there all along? That's a question Holgorsen was admittedly asking himself after the game, but Austin said he wouldn't change a thing.
"I think I would still play slot," he said when asked if he would go back and play running back throughout his career if he were afforded the opportunity to go back in time. "Just for my reasoning only, for my dream to play in the NFL. I don't think I would last in the NFL as a running back. If I do get that chance, then I'd like to go in the backfield a couple times. But I wouldn't change anything. I'd stay a slot receiver."
For the rest of this year, though, he can expect to take plenty of handoffs from Smith.
"I would think probably so," said Dawson. "I'm sure we're going to find ways to get him the ball. If we don't, we're probably pretty stupid."
"He played a lot of snaps, and it's been a long time since I've seen a performance like that," added Gillespie. "The next two weeks, we'll find ways to ride him on in. He's a senior, and we have to jump on his back."
But before they can jump on his back, they'll have to catch him.

---- — LANSING (AP) — Gov. Rick Snyder pledged Monday to take a close look at legislation that could allow concealed weapons in schools and churches following the massacre at a Connecticut elementary school that evoked painful, personal memories of a fatal shooting at his college dormitory more than three decades ago.
Snyder told The Associated Press during an interview that his public safety concerns have been heightened and "deserve extra consideration" following a mass shooting that left 26 people — including 20 children — dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"We're looking at the whole situation due to Connecticut, not just the fact that there's a bill out there," the Republican governor said. "One of the things I've asked our team to look at is what's going with school policies, with mental-health-related issues, because in many respects it appears this was a mentally ill person. ... What that legislation says will be looked at through the lens of all that's happened."
Snyder said the Good Friday 1981 shooting at University of Michigan also plays into his decision-making regarding the legislation. He was a law school student and resident adviser when a student set fires by throwing Molotov cocktails onto the floor and fired a shotgun, killing another resident adviser and a student who was trying to help get people off the floor.
He said he dealt with the fire alarm while two other student advisers went up to the floor where the gunman was. If it wasn't for an ailing resident director, Snyder said, he would have responded and "that most likely would have been me" who was shot.
"I haven't publicly talked about this much," Snyder said. "It's one of those things you just live with. If you ask in context, this is something that has additional impact on me because of my personal history."
The reflection shaped by the incident that he said still replays in his mind sharply contrasts with the whirlwind decisions made last week by the governor, who in the final days of the legislative session led a Republican effort to make the historically union-strong state the nation's 24th to enact right-to-work legislation limiting labor's power. It was one of an estimated 282 bills passed in the so-called lame-duck session that was capped by marathon 18-hour session over 2 days.
The gun bill, also from the GOP-controlled Legislature, would allow someone with extra training to carry a concealed weapon in a gun-free zone. However, schools, churches and other entities could declare themselves off-limits to openly carried guns under trespass laws. It also would put county sheriffs in charge of concealed-weapons applications instead of local boards.
President Barack Obama on Sunday pledged to seek change in memory of those ruthlessly slain by the gunman packing a high-powered rifle in Friday's shooting.
Jessica Tramontana, a spokeswoman for the liberal group Progress Michigan, said she was sorry to hear about the governor's experience, which is becoming "all too much of a reality" for many Americans.
"I would strongly encourage the governor to take his experience with violence, turn this around and veto this legislation," she said. "Weapons don't always diffuse a situation. They exacerbate a situation."
Steve Dulan, an attorney and board member of the Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners, hopes the governor signs the bill because guns in the hands of qualified and trained people have kept incidents like these from happening or at least reduced the number of lives lost.
He acknowledged the "horrifying timing coincidence" of the legislation but added this should not keep it from becoming law.
"Signs do not keep out murderers," Dulan said.
Funerals were held Monday in Newtown for two 6-year-old boys killed in the rampage. The attack was so horrifying that authorities could not say when or if the school would reopen.
Snyder said his "thoughts and prayers" were the families in Newtown. He said he remembers well seeing and experiencing the community impact of such an event.
"I stayed in the dorm, and you could see people breaking down all weekend, having emotional issues," he said. "The university did a great job — they had counselors everywhere. Still, it was just an awful experience."

The Port Arthur News
"Huge accomplishment."
That's how Alicia Wackenreuter summed up her Sunday morning's work, running the Pleasure Island Bridge Half Marathon, over the Martin Luther King Jr. Bridge.
Lisa Black called it a "get 'r done" race.
The Beaumont women joined about 375 runners and walkers in the inaugural Half Marathon, 10K and 2 Miler that Richard and Amie James, of The Gusher fame, organized.
"It was a blast. People really enjoyed the bridge," Amie James said after the majority of runners and crossed the finish line and donned medals over bright yellow/green race T-shirts.
Wackenreuter and Black were among many racers who had driven over the bridge weeks before just to get a feel how a 5,032-foot span rising 138 feet over the water would feel.
Many said that when they first drove to Pleasure Island, they couldn't quite imagine the enormity of the run, but after training, the bridge wasn't such a stretch on the legs as they anticipated. Others said it was a still a challenge.
Charlie Foxworth of Beaumont had his head in the clouds.
"It's an accomplishment. Miles on a calendar," he said, recalling practice runs. "It was hard. You think you're at the top and you're not quite there."
His company, Re/Max First, was a sponsor in this race, organized through the James' Sports Society for American Health. Foxworth said he supports their efforts to fight childhood obesity.
When Foxworth took in the bridge-top view of water, parks and birds of Pleasure Island, he also considered the industry he observed, from the Port of Port Arthur and barges to refineries and bulk transport.
"You got to look out and see what powers the country," he said. "It's phenomenal."
Coming down was even better than going up for runners loving that downward slope.
"Going down you got to stretch your legs out," Eric Long of Beaumont said. "Personally, I like the view. The humidity was way worse than the bridge."
Runners arrived at Logan Music Park before sunrise and caught birds soaring in the pink skies as the fog burned off. Long said the clouds looked like mountains. The cool morning warmed up quickly for athletes atop the bridge, then skies turned from sunny to gray as raindrops eventually fell on the final runners back through the finish line.
Did the effort match the anticipation? Several participants said they'd take on the bridge again.

From Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Groups to seek review of redistricting computers used by Legislature
Madison -- Groups that sued the state over new election maps plan to seek a court order granting them access to state computers to find out if any more documents were improperly withheld from them.
The groups have already found that the law firm for the Legislature did not turn over dozens of documents it should have.
The groups continue to review whether other documents were withheld by the firm, Michael Best & Friedrich but also hope to review computers that are not under the control of the firm, according to a document filed Friday in federal court.
Specifically, the groups want to review computers belonging to the Legislature and two other law firms involved in the litigation over redistricting -- the Troupis Law Office and Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren.
Republican lawmakers in 2011 drew new maps of congressional and legislative districts that greatly helped them in elections. A group of Democrats and the immigrant rights group Voces de la Frontera sued over the maps, and a panel of three federal judges in Milwaukee last year found two of the districts violated the voting rights of Latinos.
Those two districts were redrawn, but the state maps as a whole remained beneficial to Republicans.
After the litigation, the plaintiffs discovered some documents that should have been turned over were not, despite a string of court orders to produce documents. At one stage during the litigation the judges charged Michael Best some $17,500 for filing frivolous motions to try to block the release of records.
For months, the legal battle has dragged on as the plaintiffs try to find out if additional records have not been produced.
The plaintiffs and Michael Best's law firm, Schiff Hardin, reported to the court Friday that they continue to work together on how to conduct further reviews of Michael Best's computers. Their findings eventually will be included in a report to the court.
Meanwhile, the plaintiffs will ask the court to allow a review of the computers held by the state and other law firms, Friday's report said.
The plaintiffs said they also want an explanation for why they did not receive the records before the trial.
"Specifically, Plaintiffs are interested in receiving such explanations in order to determine whether counsel for the legislature did or did not intentionally conceal responsive documents," the report said. "Schiff Hardin has indicated that although it will be able to provide such explanations for some of the non-produced documents, it likely will not be able to provide an explanation for all non-produced documents, beyond that certain emails simply were not located in the collection process and the attorneys involved have stated they have no recollection or knowledge regarding those particular documents."

This little issue will be a career-ender for Republican Robin Vos.Hide replies
Why is that - because he required secrecy oaths. Just curious why you think this .
Robin Vos is a lying scumbag.
My thought exactly, Fan. Also, let us not forget the ever irritating Fitzgerald.
Ever irritating or ever irritated?
The question we probably will never get an answer on is the obvious. Did the redistricting process rely on retail marketing and private date sources to identify gender, race, age and income?
The abundance of public record data such as arrest records, criminal history, judgements, bankruptcy filings and much more can all be used legally in marketing. Supporting such broad and liberal open records allowed database building that could be used with very little restriction.
I would think an INDEPENDENT forensics exam of ALL computers connected to this will reveal the extent of their deception and illegal activities.Hide replies
Not with law firms obstructing the investigation.
Now - who just left this law firm?
Oh for gods sake give it up.......
Walker is innocent and Gore lost......stop the childish behavior.
You can have these computers when the WEA Trust gives up their computers and financials.
Never trust anyone in the current republican legislature. They are all dishonest, lying, cheating, scoundrels.
It's a shame that Voces de la Frontera is apparently unaware of the fact that whoring-out to the Democrats is actually COUNTERPRODUCTIVE in the fight for meaningful immigration reform.
There will be a few minor victories along the way -- like the watered-down DREAM Act, DLs for illegals in Illinois, etc. -- but much-needed comprehensive reform will only happen with the support of independents & moderate republicans, few of whom are impressed by far-left propaganda organizations shamelessly masquerading as immigration activists.Hide replies
There are moderate republicans????
I thought they all went bat sheet crazy
Laughing, GOPis.
In the 2012 election cycle we never received any mailers from any Republican candidate. I thought this was rather odd. If you voted by absentee ballot in the past and got that ballot through the assistance of a candidate that information is public record.
Does campaign marketing software filter your prior absentee voting record?
There are no standards for redistricting software or legislation that restricts the type of data that can be used to redistrict.
More throwing stuff against the wall and hoping something sticks. Typical liberal obstructionist tactics.Hide replies
Did you read the story before you made this post? Michael Best & Friedrich was fined "...$17,500 for filing frivolous motions to try to block the release of records." That is the very definition of "obstructionism" and you are calling the people Michael Best & Friedrich "obstructed"..."obstructionist"? You do realize how silly that makes you look, right?
JGC outoftowner's posts always look stupid Nothing more than hypocritical jibberish spin
Who are you replying to, facethefacts? Talking to yourself again?
Kinda like Walker's tactics...let's just cut here, add here, twist the facts here, create WEDC, lose loan information, hire incompetent staff, divide and conquer...maybe, just maybe, we'll get to 250,000 jobs before too much longer.

Rare breed among items stolen when thieves hit their latest target.
Bridget Lavin is sure that her dog Liam was stolen and didn't run off, "He was at the vet that morning and was wearing a cone on his head. He hated that thing and wouldn't even walk two feet to get a treat when I put one down for him."
The burglary happened during the daylight hours at the Lavin's home near 168th & Dodge. "I ran outside and was freaking out a little bit. I saw a cop driving by and flagged them down to tell them what happened," said Lavin.
Bridget provided us with four pictures of Liam and there is a reward if he's found and returned safely. You can see them and here the rest of the Lavin's story in the attached video.
