An all-mahogany body with Alnico Classic Pro humbuckers for Classic mid-60's SG tone.
The Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 Electric Guitar is a Gibson-authorized version of their great '66 SG with a solid mahogany body and slim-taper set mahogany neck. Some subtle-yet-significant differences make this one special. Instead of the small, lower horn-only pickguard, it has the larger pickguard so there aren't any pickup mounting rings around the high-output Alnico Classic Pro humbuckers (the '66 SG had P-90 pickups).
Separate volume and tone controls for each of the pickups give you complete control of your sound and allows for a miriad of tones. The LockTone tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide more sustain and make string changing easier. The deep double-cutaway body lets you reach all 22 frets with ease. Case sold separately.

When this Epiphone "Limited Edition" (1966) G-400 Pro guitar arrived it blew my mind right out of the box! The intonation and setup is near perfect ! Sounds great! The slim taper neck is a dream to play. Every bit as good as the original 1966 Gibson SG I used to own. The green tulip Wilkinson tuners are really NICE and neck inlays and overall craftsmanship is EXCELLENT ! This guitar has the "dual volume knob" coil taps which I really like. You pull the volume knob UP to get a single coil sound and push it DOWN to get the humbucker sound. This is a very good feature to get a variety of sounds with the Classic Alnico pickups. I have been playing this for a couple days now and it holds tuning very well. I've been playing this through a new Fender Mustang 1 amp and I can tell already that this guitar will be one of my main guitars for recording. This is one of the finest Epiphones I have ever owned and I'm so glad I bought it from Musicians Friend at a reduced price of [$].

So I wanted this guitar, only because it looks like a Gibson SG Standard. Wrong. I go to guitar center, pick it up, and I was ashamed of myself. I played it and it was horrible. I could barely fit my hand around the neck, it was as heavy if not heavier than a Les Paul. It has an okay tone, but not as good as I expected. I played the 2014 Gibson SG Junior and decided that one was better, I totally recommend that one. It feels amazing. all I am saying is do not waste your money on this. Spend 150 more for an actual, real sounding Gibson. Do yourself a favor.

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 PRO Electric Guitar:
This guitar is basically a 1960's Epiphone SG model. I was looking for a white SG model that wasn't the horrible new 2014 Gibson SGs and stumbled onto this awesome guitar. When I saw it also had the coil-splitting feature, I was sold and ordered it. Sadly, it was on backorder for a few months, but it was worth the wait.
The guitar came in looking pristine and built solid. The factory setup was pretty bad to be honest (buzzy and bad intonation) but after getting new strings and a professional setup, the guitar feels fantastic and sounds great. Epiphone pickups are usually generally considered pretty low quality, but these sound clear, bright, and fairly good as opposed to the muddy and dark pickups on my Epiphone Dot. The coil-splitting works great and the pickups sound good both humbucking and as single coils. They have a medium output which is great for a variety styles.
The finish and the aesthetics of the guitar are very nice. The output, electronics, and knobs feel solid and well-built. The neck is comfortable and the fretboard feels great. It's not as pretty as more expensive guitars, but the inlays are a nice touch.
WARNING: This guitar as a very thick neck that some people would not enjoy. It's kind a of a retro-style neck and feels very thick and large as opposed to many others I have played. I personally love the thicker neck, though it does seem to outweigh the light-weight SG body so there is a bit of neck-dive, which is common with SG guitars.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase, and it has become my primary guitar. It's unique, looks and sounds great, and sort of feels like a blast from the past. I play in a rock/metal band and I feel this guitar has the signature SG sound reminiscent of Tony Iommi and classic metal, though its clean sounds are very nice as well and I use the guitar for a variety of styles. Despite how cheap this guitar goes for, it's not cheaply made and is high quality for an Epiphone guitar. I recommend it!

This SG is a big improvement over others I played a few years ago. Nice pickups, easy to play, and was set up well, right out of the box. Of course, I needed to put Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings on. The pickups are very good, my Pelham Blue SG
looks much better than the photo on the web site.
The coil splitting is really nice, can get a lot
of sounds out of it. I couldn't be more pleased,
I love this guitar!

Great Guitar overall but the machines were terrible and needed immediate replacement. One would not tune period. Bad gear. I doubt they would have ever allowed the guitar to stayed in tune.

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 PRO Electric Guitar:
When you find a guitar that looks this good, plays this well, and sounds this good...well, you keep it! The price was just icing on the cake! I even saved a bit because mine is a factory 2nd due to a TINY nick on the finish that nearly takes a magnifying glass to see!
Epiphone has really upped their game in overall quality,and especially in their pickups. No more 'mudbuckers', these Alnico Classics have great clarity and bark, and the coil splitting makes them extremely versatile and fun to work with in all situatiions. I just picked up the new Ltd. Ed. TV Pelham Blue SG Custom with Maestro trem, and it is also an amazing value and a great overall guitar. The kicker for me comes when compared to my EVH Wolfgang. Both SG's perform better for me, as well as giving me a better sound. That's not just IMHO,our FOH guy absolutely loves the SG's compared to the EVH...at less than 1/4 the cost, that's quite a testimonial!

I had it now for 5 months. Came out box ready to Jam just need power. A flick of the switch. I have Gibson SGJ 2014 now.It's not close to it but not bad though for the price range. It's features cosmetically looks the same, and plays the same, sound same never!!! But Epi SG is really a fine guitar though. All and all, I don't regret buying it and will keep and play it years to come.

Needed the neck slightly adjusted for my style of playing. Strings to high. Didn't care for the stock strings. Intonation was slightly off. no big deal. All an easy fix. The finish is perfect. The coil splitting is great. Now to be honest the neck on this 1966 version might be a little too wide for some players taste, but it works great for me. Might be the best guitar I've ever bought for the money. I've had great luck with Epiphone. Makes me want to play ACDC riffs all night!

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 PRO Electric Guitar:
This is my first Epiphone as I own several Gibson SG's and bought this epi for my five year old son. I've played for twenty years and have always played SG's and I know this is exactly what a young beginner needs due to the small lightweight body. After looking over the specs I thought this guitar would be a lot of guitar for a beginner but one he could keep playing for many years. I am amazed at how great this guitar plays and feels. Man is this guitar pretty, honestly this guitar has a better finish on it than my latest 2013 Gibson sg standard and the inlays are nicer. The tuners hold good and the pickups sound really good also with the coil tap making a noticeable difference especially when playing clean. So if this guitar doesn't work out with him I will have no problem keeping this for myself.

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 PRO Electric Guitar:
Very impressed. I have 10 other guitars, but have always wanted an SG. I walked away from a half dozen other SGs previously because they wouldn't stay in tune. I have badly wanted a 1966 with full pickguard and figured I might as well figure in the cost of a good setup with my luthier. Wow, when I recieved this, no need to see my luthier.
TUNERS - Out of the box, the Wilkinson tuners stayed in tune. They had a very gentle smooth movement and no "ping" in the nut when I turned the tuners. Great intonation. I was surprised at this setup.
NECK - no fret buzz, but action was a bit high, so I lowered it at the bridge. I am a Fender guy and will always prefer my Strats and Teles, so its taking me just a bit to get used to the close fingering of lead runs on the shorter scale. That is OK, but the thicker D shaped neck tires my hand as the neck doesn't feel like butter in my hands, which is the case for all my Fenders. Tis OK. I knew this going in and it still works for me. Fret ends are smooth.
PICKUPS - Wow.. I don't like my Gibson Les Paul, and had to toss out the "over the top" muddy humbuckers for Phat Cat P90s, But, these SG pups have a lower output, near 8kOhms, so, they are classic rock, and I don't hear the mud I usually hear with humbuckers. This is SWEET.
KNOBS - Yes, this guitar has coil splitting knobs, so when I need more treble, I cut to single coil. Pickups are evenly balanced. I like the tone in both pups with knobs in all but the most treble rolloff possitions.
BODY - I have cherry with large black pickguard (something I have always wanted.) Yes, I know it has a veneer top, but you can't tell from looking. Quality is great. KILLER LOOKS.
TEST DRIVE - Typical SG songs - Back in Black, War Pigs (spot on!) Allright Now, Sunshine of Your Love, Sweet Emotion, Dazed and Confused / Stairway to Heaven (all great and really fine Jimmy Page tone, but I will stick with the Tele for Stairway-(Tele better acoustic and clean sound). Little Wing (not so much, will have to stay with a Fender for Hendrix.)
SUMMARY: I hope you can tell this is a really fine low cost guitar for classic rock. I will be keeping it, but it won't be my 4 hour gigger simply because of the thicker neck. This is the only reason, I am not giving it an Excellent rating. Still, I would recommend this guitar for purchase IF YOUR SETUP IS AS GOOD AS MINE = NO TWO ARE EVER THE SAME. Free case to boot.

A civil lawsuit filed against Oakland County Sheriff and Birmingham resident Michael Bouchard for actions taken by department helicopter pilot Bill Christensen to disperse a crowd during the Woodward Dream Cruise is now the focus of his challenger's campaign just two days before the vote.
Democrat Jane Boudreau issued a series of press releases over the weekend to publicize the lawsuit and spark her campaign to unseat the incumbent Republican.
The complaint, filed Friday before Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Rae Lee Chabot, alleges that the pilot acted under Bouchard's orders when he flew below the allowable height by the FAA to disperse a crowd during the Woodward Dream Cruise on Aug. 18.
Terry McIninch, the plaintiff, claims the helicopter's rotor wash injured his children Jess and Alyssa and kicked up debris, damaging McIninch's 1971 Chevrolet El Camino and his motor home.
The downdraft of the helicopter was "literally picking up and throwing Plaintiffs Jess McIninch and Alyssa McIninch like ragdolls and causing them great bodily and emotional harm," the suit claims, according to a press release.
After reading about the suit, Boudreau said the incident exemplified a larger problem of accountability.
"Personally, I believe the behavior of the crew of the helicopter should not solely rest on their shoulders," she said in a prepared statement. "Their behavior/reaction was more endemic to a Sheriff's Office that is without leadership."
The sheriff's helicopter was reportedly in the area across from the site of the former General Motors Corp. Pontiac West assembly plant after two large fights broke out when the Dream Cruise ended, the Oakland Press reported.
"My client didn't want to have to file a lawsuit. He's been waiting for them to get back to (him) and repair his vehicle, but the delay is what's really brought this about," McIninch's attorney Michael Komorn said.
Oakland County Undersheriff Mike McCabe told the Press that was a lie.
"Mr. McIninch has failed to cooperate with us. He's made allegations that there's damages of all kinds to his vehicle and his motor home, and he has produced nothing to us, despite our requests in writing for estimates for damages," McCabe said.
He also said the alleged hieght of the helicopter in the suit is also false, and called the suit "very suspect, and it would lead anybody with common sense to know that it's politically motivated," the Press reported.

Advertising marketing & media
Way back in 2010, when Michael Phelps was just another swimmer (hey, I kid), I decided to conduct what is arguably the most unscientific study known to mankind. Ok, perhaps there have been studies conducted that were even more unscientific but be that as it may, I posed a query to people on Linked In re: social media.
I asked one very simple, open ended question: "What's the 1st thing you think of when you hear the term 'social media'?"
It was most-assuredly an example of the classic "first thing comes to your mind" kind of exercise.
I received some wide-ranging responses for sure, which heretofore I kept to myself.
Fast-forward to 2012 and I wanted to see if the public's perception of social media had changed in two years, which in many ways is not a long time but in today's frenetic, hectic world where things change every nanosecond, is a lifetime.
So I posed the exact same question: "What's the 1st thing you think of when you hear the term 'social media'?"
Once again I received a wide array of responses, some were the same as in 2010 while some were completely different and in one case, quite unsettling.
The one overriding answer however to the query "What's the 1st thing you think of when you hear the term 'social media'?" was Facebook with 32% of all respondents saying that when they think of social media, they think of Facebook. I find it fascinating that so many people immediately equate social media to Facebook. Talk about branding, that kind of subliminal branding, if you will, is priceless.
If Facebook is truly in that stratosphere where a brand is synonymous with the very product it offers, it achieved something very few brands ever do and would join some very elite company, joining the likes of Kleenex and Band Aid, to name a few.
All This Data And No Place To Go
So there I was with the data – the answers to my query, both from 2010 and 2012. I had received some fascinating replies with one in particular, as I mentioned previously, was somewhat disconcerting.
Facebook is definitely a huge component of the consumer facing social media scene. However big picture, social should mean so much more to an organization. Social should represent a multifaceted avenue for organizations to engage and ideally collaborate with customers as well as team members whether traditional or mobile. The problem is when businesses themselves think FB=social. As increasingly more anywhere, anytime, any device professionals enter the workforce, businesses will need to embrace and empower technologies a social conduit capable of helping the extended team collaborate (i.e. Avaya's Aura 7.0). The key to making sure you are engaging is to remember that social is equal part listening.

Saku could take some punishment before getting it to the ground and locking an armbar or RNC.
Saku and Big Nog have the biggest hearts and best chins in MMA history hands down.
Who knows, about 6 years ago Saku would have won, but today I dont know.
Saku still has skills but I think in the stand Up Cung would destroy him.
Anyway it would be a very entertaining fight
I'd go with Sakuraba, just superior skill in my opinion.
kung le gasses out after acting the eddie gordo then sakuraba gets him in a flying gogoplata and throws in the rock bottom for good measure
I really don't want to see him fight anymore man, it's hard watching these legends take pounding after pounding.
Sakuraba by MDK!!
Cung drops his second straight fight.
Sakuraba by spinning back, axe kick, from the top rope, followed by a spinning hammerfist from the judges table. lol
Now for real... Cung does not win this.
Cung Le vs. Kazushi Sakuraba
Alright, so let's see DREAM get a little something out of this "talent exchange" with Strikeforce and given that Le's coming off a loss and has a well developed name and fanbase, I think that he'd be a wonderful choice.
Given that Mr. Gracie Killer, having missed the NYE show, is obviously looking to return with a big bang, this fight would be pretty electric....
SOOOOOO, Who ya GOT?

Elkmont outlasted West Morgan 35-21 to come away with a Class 3A, Region 8 win and keep the Red Devils' playoff hopes alive in a region that includes No. 1 Madison Academy, Deshler and Lauderdale County.
The Red Devils (2-2, 2-1 Region 8) went ahead 14-0 in the first quarter on two close-range runs by Jared Bailey and extra points by Alexis Hernandez.
West Morgan (0-4, 0-3) cut it to 14-7 in the second on a 1-yard run by Shelton Stewart and a PAT from Scott Alberti.
Eli Hobbs countered for the Red Devils midway through the second to put the lead at 21-7 but Devin Hawkins burst in from 8 yards out with less than two minutes until halftime to trail 21-14 at halftime.
West Morgan tied the score at 21 in the third on a 55-yard passing play, but Elkmont's Zeb Pankey scored on a pair of 5-yard runs late in the third and fourth quarters to put the game out of reach.
Bailey, who also had an interception while playing defense, had 16 carries for 94 yards and two scores. Mike Tucker gained a team-high 95 yards on 16 rushes, Pankey ran seven times for 53 yards and two touchdowns and Hobbs collected 69 yards on five carries and a TD.
Hernandez converted 5 of 6 PATs for the Red Devils. Quarterback Jordan Nelson was 3 of 5 for 88 yards with one interception.
Elkmont plays at 4A West Limestone (2-2) in non-region action. West Morgan travels to 4A East Lawrence (0-4).

Our research centers on understanding how subtle memory complaints progress to the overwhelming dementia of Alzheimer's disease. Broadly speaking, we want to identify what triggers the disease, what exacerbates the symptoms, and what can be done to intervene therapeutically. Our lab uses transgenic mice as a model system that can be engineered to reproduce certain aspects of the disease. The models allow us ask directed questions about the underlying biology of Alzheimer's disease and which treatments may offer maximal benefit.
We are currently focused on two facets of the disease. Most of our studies explore the role of the amyloid precursor protein and its derivative Aß peptide in neuronal dysfunction, subsequent cognitive decline, and potential recovery. Complementary studies are directed at dissecting the specific neuronal circuits involved in the characteristic progression of behavioral symptoms. Ultimately, only human clinical trials will tell us how to cure Alzheimer's disease and from their success or failure will we truly know what causes the disease, but the mouse models will help us learn how to get there.
Key questions (there are many!)
1. What is the molecular basis for Alzheimer's disease? How does a small peptide like Aß lead to the devastating cognitive decline of AD? Can we use rare familial cases of early-onset AD to understand how the more common sporadic disease begins?
2. Which neuronal circuits underlie the behavioral progression of AD? Do intraneuronal tangles or extracellular plaques better map the damaged neuronal circuits responsible for each stage of the disease?
3. Will treatments that work early in disease be as effective at later stages, or is there a point at which therapy directed against Aß is no longer effective?
4. How much therapy is enough? If Aß remains an effective target for treatment, will lowering its concentration be adequate for functional recovery or will we need to remove amyloid to attain maximal benefit?

The world of The Walking Dead is expanding.
On Monday, AMC announced plans for a companion series that is set in the same world, but will follow new characters, which will offer a different perspective on the zombie apocalypse. With those parameters in mind, TVGuide.com came up with six ideas for the series, which will be executive-produced by Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert. Keep in mind that introducing new characters doesn't mean that familiar faces couldn't take center stage in the spin-off. Take a look at our list: (Warning: Comic book and series spoilers below!)

The Walking Dead shook things up again on Sunday's Season 3 finale by killing off another main character — and proving once and for all that the AMC series is unafraid to ax anyone, no matter what happened in the comics.
In this instance, it was Andrea (Laurie Holden), who became a polarizing character in the third season when she began literally sleeping with the enemy in the form of The Governor (David Morrisey) the charismatic leader of the supposedly idyllic town of Woodbury. (Of course, Andrea learned the hard way that The Governor is actually a sadist who rules the town with an iron fist.) Still, killing off one of the few original characters who is still alive in the comics is sure to get Dead fans talking until the series returns in October. To find out why the writers decided to kill off Andrea, TVGuide.com turned to executive producer Robert Kirkman, who also dishes on what's in store for Season 4...

Historically a nation of immigrants, the United States is home to nearly 41 million immigrants, who represent 13 percent of the total population and play a key role in the economic, civic, and cultural life of the country. The research collected here covers many facets of immigration to the United States, by the numbers and how immigrants fare in the country's classrooms and workplaces, the policies and regulations that shape the admission of new immigrants, the enforcement programs and polices in place at U.S. borders and within the interior, and integration policies and efforts taking place in local communities, in states, and at the federal level.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
The U.S. immigrant population—estimated at 40.8 million in 2012 — is the nation's historical numerical high, and it is also the largest foreign-born population in the world. About 20 percent of all international migrants reside in the United States, even as the country accounts for less than 5 percent of global population. This article presents the latest, most sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—by origin, residence, legal status, deportations, languages spoken, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
Comprising only a small share of all immigrants in the United States, the foreign born from Taiwan seem to embody the very spirit of the Asian Tiger. As of 2010, Taiwanese immigrants exhibited extremely high levels of educational attainment; a notable tendency toward homeownership; and elevated rates of employment in management, business, information technology, and certain other professional, science, and engineering fields compared to the foreign-born population overall.
From rather humble beginnings, the Chinese immigrant population in the United States has grown steadily since the 1960s to reach about 1.8 million in 2010. Compared to the foreign born overall, Chinese immigrants report higher levels of educational attainment, are less likely to live in households with an annual income below the poverty line, and are substantially more likely to have naturalized as U.S. citizens.
Muzaffar Chishti, Claire Bergeron, and Faye Hipsman report on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to decide the constitutionality of Arizona's SB 1070, passage in the House of the Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act of 2011, DOJ lawsuits in Utah and South Carolina, and more.
More than 1 million people became legal permanent residents (LPRs) in the United States in 2010. Nearly two-thirds of new LPRs are immigrants with family ties in the United States, report MPI's Carola Balbuena and Jeanne Batalova in this updated look at the latest statistics on legal immigration.
The debate season is well underway for the Republican presidential primary races in the United States, and immigration has once again emerged as a highly contentious policy issue.
This report finds that the 813,000 U.S. children under the age of 10 who have Black immigrant parents from Africa or the Caribbean generally fall in the middle of multiple well-being indicators, faring less well than Asian and white children but better than their native-born Black and Hispanic peers. Citizenship status, English proficiency, parental characteristics, poverty, housing, and access to social supports are examined.
The economic consequences of emigration on migrants' countries of origin have long been studied, yet the precise assessment of positive and negative impacts remains complex. This analysis finds that Mexico's fiscal balance appears to benefit from emigration when considering remittances and labor markets.

Este manual contiene un menú, seleccionado cuidadosamente, de opciones normativas y programáticas viables basadas en experiencias reales en distintas partes del mundo.
African immigrants generally fare well on integration indicators, with college completion rates that greatly exceed those for most other immigrant groups and U.S. natives, this report finds. The United States, Canada, and Australia disproportionally attract better-educated African migrants then do the United Kingdom, France, and other European countries.

For more than a decade, states have experimented with civic integration policies that require immigrants to learn the official language of their host country and acknowledge its basic norms and values—or risk losing social benefits and even residence permits. This report explores ways states can put forth smart policies that benefit natives and immigrants in host countries.

Quick highlights from the Buffalo Bills' loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Ralph Wilson Stadium ...
What it means: The Bills used their third starting quarterback of the season, but they weren't overmatched by the undefeated Chiefs. Even so, the Bills couldn't prevail over two giveaways the Chiefs returned for touchdowns in the second half. The Bills outgained the Chiefs, 470-201, but were minus-3 in turnovers. The Bills are 3-6, last place in the AFC East.
Player of the game: Even in defeat C.J. Spiller was the best player on the field. A week apparently off did wonders for his sprained ankle. He ran 12 times for 116 yards and caught two passes for 39 yards.
Tuel time: Undrafted rookie quarterback Jeff Tuel made his first NFL start because Thad Lewis' injured ribs were too sore. Tuel was 18 of 39 for 229 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions.
Play of the game: With the Bills about to grab the game by its throat at the Chiefs' 1-yard line, Tuel threw the ball directly to cornerback Sean Smith at the goal line. Smith breezed up the left sideline for a 100-yard touchdown to tie the game early in the third quarter.
Preliminary injury report: Buffalo's rookie receivers had strong games before leaving with injuries. Robert Woods stayed on the ground late in the third quarter with a leg injury. He went straight to the locker room and didn't return. When Woods left the game he was Buffalo's top receiver with four catches for 44 yards. ... Marquise Goodwin went to the locker room late in the fourth quarter with an undisclosed injury. He finished with two catches for 64 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown.
Coming up: The Bills get back on the road next Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.

Rick Ungar, Contributor
I write from the left on politics and policy.
Like most Americans, I'm a big fan of the NFL.
I admire the hard working players who go out there and play hard each and every week during the season—giving up their bodies and their talent in an effort to deliver their best for the hometown crowd along with the working-class fan base that has made the NFL what it is today.
That is why I find it so upsetting that Papa John's—the pizza company that will soon provide many of its employees with far more time to watch football thanks to a plan to reduce employee work hours in the effort to avoid the company's responsibilities under the Affordable Care Act—is the official pizza sponsor of the NFL.
Think about this for a moment.
Our uniquely American game—one that has grown into an empire on the backs of the hard working players and the loyal, American working men and women who love and support the game—is in league with a company that appears ready to throw some of those same dedicated fans, and their families, under a bus so that Papa John's can drop a few more dollars to the company's bottom line.
The cost of Papa John's professed fealty to its shareholders at the expense of its employees?
These workers, who typically earn too much to qualify for Medicaid and too little to afford health insurance for their families on what Papa John's pays them, will find themselves facing a fourth down and long without a play to call when a member of that family faces a serious illness.
But it's not just these employees who are being left to run a passing route with no ball ever coming their way.
Other fans of the NFL—people like you and I who pay our already expensive monthly premiums for our family's health insurance needs—will be left to pick up the tab for Papa John's employees when they show up in the emergency room because they have no other option for their care. That means that Papa John's will make more money at my expense, despite the fact that I have never set foot in a Papa John's restaurant nor ordered up one of their pizzas. This means that I will personally be subsidizing Papa John's profits without ever once becoming a customer—as will a great many of you—because this pizza company is willing to shirk its responsibilities in favor of letting you and me pay the bill.
Is this really the type of company the NFL wants besmirching its reputation by permitting them to be an official sponsor? What coach would ever preach to his players that they should get out of the way of an oncoming rush and allow a teammate to take the hit rather than stepping up and doing the job that is the player's responsibility?
How does Peyton Manning fit into this picture?
On the day the alliance between the National Football League and Papa John's was announced, it was also disclosed that Denver quarterback and future Hall-of-Famer, Peyton Manning, had become the owner of 21 Papa John's locations in the Denver area. Manning additionally serves as a spokesperson for the pizza chain—featured in a television commercial wherein he encourages CEO John Schnatter to give away two million free pizzas. Note that the cost of the give-away promotion far exceeds the burden of providing the affected employees with health care benefits.
Like most football fans, I love Peyton Manning.
When he faced his career ending neck surgery, I was rooting hard for him to make it back to the game. And while I have never been a Denver Broncos supporter, I have made it a point this year to tune in to watch almost every Denver game just to add my measure of support for Manning's comeback effort and to see his progress as he works hard to regain the form that has made him one of the all-time greats at the quarterback position.
I've been there for Peyton Manning. Now, I would like to ask Peyton to do something for me.
More specifically, I would like Peyton Manning to do something for all the hard working Americans that have been there to support him and the NFL, thereby allowing Peyton to earn a great and well-deserved living.
I would like Mr. Manning to return the favor by announcing that his Papa John's franchise operations will not be cutting back on its employee hours and that his restaurants will gladly comply with the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. I want Peyton to tell us that he will personally see to it that the people who work for him at his 21 stores will each receive their health care benefits.
Guys like Peyton Manning lead by example—and I can imagine no better example than his standing up for the working men and women who have always been there to support him, the game and the National Football League. If Peyton Manning will come forward to do the right thing, just watch as other Papa John's franchise owners follow his lead.
On a separate note, I have been interested by the number of commenters responding to my article of this past week discussing Papa John's efforts—along with some other franchise restaurant operations—to avoid giving health care benefits to their employees. It seems that many of these readers are sympathetic to these businesses because they believe that providing healthcare benefits to their employees is just not something these companies can afford to do without damaging their businesses, despite the millions in profit that many of these operations rake in each year.
Rick Discusses Papa John's vs. Obamacare With Mike Ozanian
(Continued on next page)
I would like to repeat the comment I made earlier this week:
In the interests of PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY, I consider all food service employees having access to health care a Really Good Idea.
Think it through, people: Do you REALLY want your wait staff, or your pizza delivery person, SICK? In a world where the word "pandemic" is a real issue?
We constantly overlook the fact that poverty-level wages, no paid sick days, and lack of even basic health care is a public health problem, particularly in food service.
Not to mention the fact that the Papa John's and Walmarts of the world are the real "moochers" here, as they push their employees into being subsidized by we, the taxpayers for basic food security and health care.
To all those Ayn Rand acolytes who claim that a couple of pennies more per pizza is communism, I ask: where are your values? We all work to live, not live to work. If ONLY the top 1/10 of 1% lives more than a subsistence existence, our entire economy collapses. Those 1000 households can't possible spend enough to support the entire economy.
America is the richest nation in the world, yet we seem to have regressed to a 19th century attitude about our workers.
John Schnatter worked hard to build up his business. Why does he need to chop off the rungs of the ladder behind him? I live in Louisville, and have seen his home. And tasted his pizza; the bean counters ruined it about 6 years ago by switching to ketchup for the sauce, and cardboard for the crust.
I like your idea of asking Peyton Manning to set an example for other franchise owners by stepping up and paying a living wage and providing benefits.
"In the interests of PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY, I consider all food service employees having access to health care a Really Good Idea." I consider myself a smart and informed person, but I hadn't thought of this. Good point, as is Ungar's point that it costs us a fortune when uninsured people are obliged to use hospital emergency rooms as their primary care.
Ha! We're talking about MAKING PIZZA's for a living, if that pays a "living wage" then engineers, computer programmers, accountants, doctors, welders, electricians, carpenters and every other person who has a "skill" to offer to the work place should be paid in the millions. Kids in high school should not be contemplating on a career at Papa Johns, it might be a nice job for them during high school to help them buy a car or have some spending money or money for college…..but this is not a job that should pay enough to make a living as an adult on.
Yes, but this would require critical thinking on behalf of this owner, and the other owners of corporations that are complaining of paying extra for health care. If they could see past their greed, they would understand the benefits of a healthy staff. A healthy staff is a happy staff, a staff that takes less sick days, works better, and thus increases productivity. This is beyond their thinking. All they see is dollar signs, and a receptive republican candidate, party, etc. I am not hopeful that they will change, so I am all for a national boycott.
Sounds like a great idea…..unless you stop to THINK….do you really believe believe the company is going to foot that bill….Like everything else in a free market system. The cost is passed down to the consumer, you will have a choice, pay $25 dollars for a pizza or don't eat pizza. Just like you now pay $100 for a ticket to an NFL game…..or don't go. Some jobs in this country are not deserving of more than $8-$10 an hour. A better idea!….Why not just raise the minimum wage to $50 an hour, then everybody can pay for their own insurance…Either way the bottom line is the same…..There is NO free pizza and there is no free health insurance. Only the 47% who think what they are getting is free, believe me someone, somewhere, always pays.
Paula, you are an example of what is wrong with this country. You only think about yourself and what it will cost you. You are narrow minded and see nothing outside of your tunnel vision. I am bewildered how someone object to the the fact that your pizza may cost you 14 cents (some reports say only 4 cents) more in order to provide the employees at Papa Johns with health. There was never anyone suggesting that they pay employees that work at a pizza restaurant $50/hour. Your comments make you sound greedy and superior to those people making minimum wage. Frankly that disgust me.
Mr. Brangenberg, so what you are saying is that these people working at a pizza place should be your slave and should not have enough money to live on. You mean that they should not have enough to rent a room/home/apartment, feed themselves regularly, have access to basic healthcare but yet they should server you. Yes some of these people are students going to school and working part time to help pay for school or just some extra circular activities. That said these folks are most likely not working 30+ hours a week and it isn't their career. What we are talking about is those people that haven't done as well in life or not as fortunate as you might have been, or just someone down on their luck but trying to make a respectable living. What you are saying is these people are not worthy of healthcare at the cost of a few extra pennies on the cost of pizza or minor cut in their profits at the offset of doing the right thing. I don't know how someone can be that self absorbed.

Yeah. I don't really dislike superhero movies, but honestly the constant stream of super avenger-men movies made the whole thing kind of boring. It's like when all games were WW2 FPSes, except worse because Nazis are more interesting than comic book villains.

App Store adds Game Collections spotlight for iPhone and iPad
Looking for a great case to protect your iPhone 4S or iPhone 4 investment? Because they're essentially the same form factor, and because that form factor has been on the market for almost 2 years now, there are a ton of options to choose from. But so much choice can be a good and bad thing. Which case is the best, and which case is the best for your specific needs?

I've got a long history of loving waterproof cases, and putting them through torture tests, but the LifeProof is different. It's not a big bag. It's a terrifically trim, superbly svelte case that at first glance is hard to take seriously. It just looks like a regular case.
But it's so much more.
The pitch for this one was simple -- girls just want to have fun dancing the night away without having to keep track of a purse or a coat, but they still want a place to safely stash their iPhone, credit cards, IDs and key. Enter the JoeyBra. It has discreet pockets on the side that, if you're wearing the appropriate night club attire, you can easily slip your iPhone out of for a quick call or text, and slip right back in when you're again ready to rock.
The Antique model Steampunk Case for iPhone is one of a few handcrafted iPhone cases by Paul Marsh's Blujoos. Each model is a special edition, limited to 50 pieces, and designed to give your iPhone a unique look you just won't find anywhere else. A model and prop maker from the film industry with over 20 years and 25 films and TV series to his credit, Marsh is pouring every bit of that skill into these cases and it really shows. These aren't stickers -- these are actual 3D castings!
The models are built using carefully chosen parts from watches and clocks, and then a platinum silicone mould is created from the model. Marsh casts the individual cases from a tough, UV protected polyurethane and then -- get this -- impregnates them with metal powders. That's real brass, real bronze, real copper, and real iron powders. That's what gives them the incredible look of rusted, corroded metals. It's beautiful destruction and The effect is simply stunning. It looks like something out of fantasy, like the kingdoms busily assembling themselves during the opening credits of Game of Thrones...
There are currently two models available on Etsy, the Antique which I'm reviewing here, and the Salvage which has a more coppery, almost Lost City of Atlantis look to it.
Both are gorgeous and both are extremely limited, so if you like them, pounce on them soon.
I absolutely adore the look of and feel of the Antique Steampunk iPhone case by Blujoos. Paul Marsh has put together something more than an accessory -- he's put together a real work of art. If you're a fan of the Steampunk genre, or of fantasy or sci-fi model-making techniques, or simply of unique craftsmanship and amazing design, check out Marsh's work on Etsy now.

Ok people, I see some of my reviews are complaining about my queso not being spicy enough or too thin. My family is a bunch of wussies so I had to tone this way down, for myself and my friends I will actually add chopped jalapeno's and/or hot salsa. Also, if its too thin you can add a bit more cheese since I estimated the amounts. Also, make sure its not too hot because that will make it runny (will thicken as it cools a bit) and I usually keep it in slow cooker to keep it warm and to keep it from hardening. I almost never follow this recipe to the "T" and I'm always playing around with it, so I encourage you to do the same. Enjoy! ~Jeff
This is the best Chili Con Queso I've ever had, plus it was SUPER easy to make. Following the advice from some other reviews I used Velveeta Mexican cheese. I used Tillamook's Medium cheese, I feel that Tillamooks has a much smoother texture that store brand cheeses. I also used about 10 ounces of salsa, instead of only 7. Let's see, I used the whole can of chili, put about 2 teaspoons of chili powder and 3 dashes of Trappy's Louisiana Hot Sauce. It turned out wonderfully and had a bit of a kick from the extra salsa, chili powder, and hot sauce. I highly recommend this recipe, Jeffo here really knows his stuff.

Great recipe! It tastes exactly like many of the con queso recipes served at popular Mexican restaurants. For my cheese, I used a 16oz portion of Velveeta Mexican cheese. It turned out perfectly. Thanks~

The Baseball Writers' Association of America took the safe and easy way out.
And even then, it still goofed.
The BBWAA's misstep, however, had nothing to do with Jack Morris and Alan Trammell not getting elected - again.
In his 15th and final year on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, Morris failed to get enough votes for entrance - only 61.5% of the 75% needed. He's now off the ballot.
Trammell got just 20.8 percent of the vote from the writers, a sharp drop from 33.6% in 2012. It looks like Tram will never make it this route as well.
Both were very good player, just not Hall-worthy. Morris never won a Cy Young and has a bloated 3.90 ERA. Tram never won an league MVP and has no magic numbers despite a 20-year playing career.
On Wednesday, the BBWAA announced the Baseball Hall of Fame 2014 inductees: pitcher Greg Maddux, pitcher Tom Glavine and first baseman.
All three were voted in on their first ballot, a special honor.
All were easy selections because all three had magic numbers, usually automatics when it comes to admittance into the HOF. Both pitchers had over 300 wins for their careers and Thomas had over 500 career homers.
But the writers failed to vote in Craig Biggio, who had over 3,000 career hits. Again, that's a magic number that almost always gets you into Cooperstown immediately. He garnered 74.8% of the vote. He fell two votes short of the need 75% needed.
As a voting member of the BBWAA, I'm embarrassed by my brethren.
Not only for failing to vote Biggio in to the Hall. Worse, for continuing to punish Hall-worthy players involved in the performance enhancing drug scandal that rocked the National Pastime.
Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa didn't get nearly enough votes to gain entry.
Rafael Palmeiro, who tested positive for PEDs in 2005 after MLB put in new rules against it, didn't even get enough to stay on the ballot. He received under the 5% mandatory in order to stay on the ballot.
It was easy to discard Palmeiro, despite the former first baseman having over 3,000 and 500 homers, although only four players in MLB history have done that.
Writers clearly had proof of a failed drug test and a suspension. But the others currently being banned don't have the evidence like Palmeiro. In the case of Bonds, Clemens, McGwire and Sosa, there are no failed text, just clouds of suspicion.
Nonetheless, the BBWAA are going to have to deal with these players at some point and act on these talented HOFers.
I voted for nine players, including Bonds, Clemens, McGwire and Sosa.
The BBWAA has to get over it. The Steroid Era can't be ignored, treated as if it never happened.
It did.
It would be one thing if all players were tested back then and just Bonds, Clemens, McGwire and Sosa tested positive for PEDs. It would be an open and shut case. It's not the case.
At last check, the record book is filled with accomplishments from these great players. Bonds is the all-time home run hitter with 762. He also won seven MVPs. Clemens won seven Cy Youngs.
A skinny McGwire still has the rookie record for home runs with 49. The same McGwire who once hit 32 HRs in 67 games in a single college season. Yes, he was a slugger long before he bulked up.
Sadly, some writers want to be judge and jury. They want to vote on suspicion, not based on facts.
It's not our job.

Associated Press
Keeping a campaign promise, Pennsylvania's new attorney general appointed a special deputy Monday to investigate Gov. Tom Corbett's handling of the Penn State child sexual abuse case and why it took so long to bring charges against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
The appointee, H. Geoffrey Moulton Jr., is "a highly respected former federal prosecutor who will assist us in providing a comprehensive and independent examination of the facts," Attorney General Kathleen Kane said in a news release announcing the move.
Kane, who was sworn in last month as the first woman and first Democrat to be elected attorney general, said she would make the findings public "once the facts have been uncovered," but she did not set a timeline for completing the probe nor comment further.
She had pledged during her campaign last year to investigate why it took the attorney general's office nearly three years to charge Sandusky.
Corbett, a Republican, was the attorney general for most of that time, which included his 2010 campaign for governor
Moulton will be paid an hourly rate of $72.24 an hour and will have access to experts in the attorney general's office as needed, said Ellen Mellody, Kane's spokeswoman.

The 3A was ur'ed.
Alexei Yagudin
Evgeni Plushenko
Stéphane Lambiel
Daisuke Takahashi
The 3A was ur'ed.
Wow, I didn't realized how much Yags is overrated here. Hot, great skater, charismatic as feck, but I don't think his skating holds up that well over time. (Although Winter is still orgasmically good!)
In another case, my favorite for the weakest links would be Takahashi, then Lambiel and Yagudin ... and as strongest, ofc Plushenko.
But since here, without any sense, Yagudin have less votes, I voted for him - just because of his weak nerves
Plushy is currently the weakest link? Ridiculously.... or you are so influenced by media propaganda?
Seriously people YAGUDIN is NOT much superior to the other three. He's been treated like an untouchable god here..
Anyways, my vote goes to Takahashi. Brilliant awesome skater but I think he has the lesser legacy on the sport so far..
I think I may vote for Takahashi...it was very hard to choose between him and Lambiel...so I flipped a coin.
I cannot believe plushy has the most votes. I'm not a fan AT ALL and I understand he was/is overmarked, but consistency is a huge part of skating
2. United States: 48%
India: 8.5%
3. United States: 24.8%
India: 12.0% (seriously? So many visitor from India?)
And I checked other sites as well
1. United States:40%
2. United States: 44.7%
1. Russia: 98.7%
2. Russia: 100.0%
Need (relative) objective criteria to make (relative) objective result. Anything which can be conversed to data: skill, achievement, record......just as what COP does.
But anyway, the poll is only for fun and people can provide their subjective selection since there is no rule

The question for me: does Plushenko's titanic record, one that is entirely deserving (I can't think of a single competition he deserved to lose that he won) overcome the fact that I don't actually enjoy watching him. The fact is, if this was Survivor, the other three would gang up on him because of his obvious superiority in terms of competitive strength (so essentially, the first immunity challenge he loses, he's outta there!). Plushenko is an amazing athlete and competitor. But he hasn't caused to me to think differently about the sport the way Lambiel or Takahashi has. So between Yagudin and Plushenko, the one I like less is the one I voted for.
I really like Yags but my final two would be Lambiel and Takahashi. That's insanely difficult because Lambiel is still doing great stuff in shows while Daisuke has only become better and better over the last years. It's almost insane to vote for Plushy as the weakest link now but what other way is there to keep Daisuke and Stéphane in? I'd actually consider giving Yags my vote at this point because his show stuff is IMO just not as great to watch as, for example, Lambiel's but let's be real he is running away with this. Sorry Plush
Post-2004, all his programs were mediocre. He only held up against the competition because he could do the quad consistently and skate two clean, consecutive programs. The other skaters he was competing against didn't do so when they needed to.
But weakest link, he certainly is not.
The competition should be Lambiel vs. Takahashi. Lambiel has a better de facto record. However, Takahashi should have 2 world titles as well (should've won 2012). His Olympic medal-winning programs were also far better than Lambiel, who was lucky to put out two mediocre programs at the Olympics in a splatfest and end up with silver. Lambiel's performances when he won gold weren't spectacular, either. He did skate a great LP in 2004 that may win in other years, but also bombed the SP (though in 2004 the results wouldn't have turned out differently with a clean SP).
With similar records, I'm choosing Lambiel first because I personally prefer Takahashi. I too found Lambiel sloppy at times. I never liked his Four Seasons program.
It's useless to say bias or not. Every forum has its fan group, big or small. I am not sure if Yagudin has most fans, but I think he has most fan on his achievment level on here. For example, even if Chan have most fan here, he definitely is not on Plushy or Yags's achievement level (maybe after he get the Sochi OGM he will). Sometimes people's skill and achievment cannot protect him from people not enjoying their skating. Chan has been voted out, so does Plushy this round (maybe next)......But if there is not enough chan or plushy fan in FSU, it's their problem.
"If Plushenko was 3 yrs old than Yagudin" is just the same as "if Yagudin didn't retire after 2002".
Furthermore, the poll is not based on win or not. Kulik won more against Yagudin, but Kulik has been voted out. Plushenko won more against Lambiel, but he got more vote than Lambiel. Again, it's a game with NO rule. people can select what they want as they will. If you don't have enough colleague, then just leave or tolerate

Zhenya is NOT the weak link. Yagudin was soo overrated
Plushy has the longevity, charcter, jumps and imo even better memorable moments
Dai as much as I love him is not better than Pluschenko
and this is WTF Lambiel should have been voted off a few rounds earlier
he was not a dominant skater like the others left.
I wonder how many people would have voted Yags but, like me, figured no one else was going to and didn't want to throw a vote away.

President Barack Obama is up by 3 percentage points over Mitt Romney in the presidential race in Wisconsin, according to a Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday.
However, the race is tightening and polling officials warned candidates not to take Wisconsin for granted.
This is the first Marquette University Law School poll in Wisconsin since Mitt Romney tapped U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan to be his running mate, and the poll shows that the GOP candidate didn't get enough of a bump to swing Wisconsin from blue to red after the announcement.
"The two-point shift in Romney's direction is within the margin of error for the poll, but suggest Ryan's addition to the ticket may have slightly increased Romney's chances in Wisconsin," said Professor Charles Franklin, director of the Marquette Law School Poll.
Wednesday's poll shows 49 percent of the likely voters surveyed backing Obama, while 46 percent favor Romney. However, a poll done prior to Ryan's selection between Aug. 2 through Aug. 5, showed Obama led 50 to 45 percent.
"Romney has suffered from more unfavorable reviews throughout the year," Franklin said. "That was wider throughout the primaries and has narrowed after he clinched the nomination. But he hasn't turned that around yet.
"One of the challenges to his ticket is, can they use the convention to turn that around and re-introduce him to the public and can he explain to the public why they should view him more favorably than they have?" Franklin said.
The "Ryan Effect" bumped Romney's numbers slightly higher, Franklin said.
When pollsters asked likely Republican voters if having Ryan as the VP had an influence on their decision to vote for Romney, 29 percent said more likely while 16 percent said less likely. However, 53 percent said having Ryan as vice president on the presidential ticket wouldn't have much of an effect on their decision.
Nicole Tieman, Wisconsin communications director for the Republican National Committee, said the poll numbers were very encouraging.
"We've been putting a lot of work into Wisconsin and this demonstrates how the Romney campaign believes Wisconsin is a top tier swing state. We've put every effort into their campaign to offer real solutions, not excuses," Tieman said. "Even before the Ryan announcement we were seeing Romney closing the gap and now we're getting dangerously close to Obama."
In the U.S. Senate race, the latest poll shows former Republican Governor Tommy Thompson still has the advantage over Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin.
"Todays poll results represent voters trust in Tommy to solve today's pressing economic crises and their understanding of the failed economic policies that Tammy Baldwin has spent the last four years advocating," Brian Nemoir, a spokesman for Tommy Thompson's campaign.
Thompson is up by nine points against Baldwin. In the previous poll, Thompson led by five points.
"Baldwin isn't widely known across the state," Franklin said. "The appeal outside Baldwin's home area is an area where development still has to take place."
Baldwin's communications director John Kraus acknowledged that Baldwin is very aware that she needs more recognition in the state and she has been campaigning in Milwaukee, Appleton, Wausau, Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Green Bay, Sheboygan, Oshkosh, Manitowoc, De Pere, and La Crosse.
"Tommy Thompson will put those at the very top and the powerful special interests he has worked for in Washington ahead of Wisconsin," Baldwin said. "That is why he has shown a sense of entitlement to keep secrets and hide his tax returns from the people of Wisconsin. Thompson would actually cut taxes for millionaires like himself and increase taxes on the middle class, increase out-of-pocket health care costs for seniors, increase the cost of higher education for students, and end Medicare as we know it for future generations."
The results of the poll were released Wednesday during a segment of the on-going "On the Issues" series with Mike Gousha and Franklin. Polling of 706 registered voters took place between Aug. 16 through Aug. 19, and the poll results include responses from 576 likely voters in the pool with a 4.2 percent margin of error.
Only 4 percent of those surveyed said they are undecided.
The Public Policy Forum also came out with a poll today on the U.S. Senate race between Thompson and Baldwin. Their poll has Thompson leading Baldwin 49 to 44 percent. In their prior poll in July, the two were at a dead heat at 45 to 45. They also noted that state Republicans are now backing him more than ever with an 89 point lead 93-4. In their previous poll, Thompson had a 77 point lead at 84-7.

Bills General Manager Buddy Nix mentioned Erik Pears as a key addition in an interview Tuesday at the Senior Bowl. Head coach Chan Gailey expressed optimisim about Pears' prospects after the season, as well. Pears is a 6-foot-8, 305-pounder who has played five years in the NFL. The Bills picked him up late in the season, and he started the season-finale for Buffalo. Pears started 10 games as a rookie at left tackle for Denver in 2006 and 16 games at right tackle for the Broncos in 2007. Pears spent much of the 2008 season on injured reserve. Former Denver coach Mike Shanahan liked him. But then Shanahan got fired, and Josh McDaniels took over. McDaniels' new broom swept clean, and Pears was released. He bounced from Oakland to Jacksonville before being added by Buffalo on Dec. 13.
"We picked up two third-rounders in (Kraig) Urbik and (Chad) Rinehart, and (Mansfield) Wrotto was a fourth-rounder," Nix said. "Then we got Pears who started at tackle for two years against us at Denver (when Nix was in San Diego). We got bigger and we got better and we got younger."

So you already know that Elizabeth & Mike got married. And that it was glorious. But you need details! And pictures! And fluffy clouds and rainbows! So here you go….
It all started with a little yellow pair of shoes at The Sofitel downtown.
So Elizabeth picked up that gorgeous train and hailed a cab instead.
A photo shoot downtown occurred, until that pesky "day-of" time line insisted that they stop and come get married already! So they walked away until these guys insisted on one more song…
Back at A New Leaf things were ready to go and a bridal party was demanding to be photographed!
Mike and Elizabeth had one last quiet moment together alone…
It was time…
and just like that, they did it!
Elizabeth's sister (and Maid of Honor) Katie, gave a hilarious toast to the newlyweds.
It just could not have been easier or more fun working with these two incredible people. To Mike & Elizabeth, I loved being "the other Elizabeth" in your lives during the ups and downs of wedding planning. Seeing it all come together for you on this day was beyond rewarding. While my in-box felt strangely empty after it was all over, I am so grateful to know that I will be seeing you again at another Lindner extravaganza in 2011! In the meantime, may your sandwiches never have mayo, your stockings be full of sauerkraut and your glasses full of mojito! (You truly won't regret it.)
