- " the rooms are great. I roomed with 5 other people for the duration of my stay and we had our own tv and bathroom/shower as well as a full kitchen! that was awesome! and the price is great too. the only drawback for me, seeing as how Im done with that sort of thing, is the parties. theyre very loud, but don't seem to go on any later than 11pm or so. and the activities director just assumes that everybody drinks and parties and seems astonished that there's anyone that's not interested. "
- 31 Jan 2014 Jeremy USA
- " Staff is competent. Rooms are clean, breakfast is provided and the hostel is located near the metro station for people without a car (do yourself a favor and rent a car). Problems: 1) Lack of parking room. Twice I had to go find parking on the side streets 2) Quiet hours are only liberally enforced in the common and heaven forbid if your room is near or above the party room 3) although you can grab more than 1 easily, i wish the lockers were bigger. "
- 23 Jan 2014 Edward Canada
- " I really liked the hostel. The location was nice and clean. The hostel is located at the Hollywood Boulevard, so the Walk of Fame and other fancy stuff is just around the corner. The Metro Station is around 3 blocks down the road, so it's easy to get. Free breakfast! The only thing I don't really liked were the "party nights", because it was pretty loud everywhere and so it was hard to fall asleep. "

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — Good job, students
The Record-Eagle's Feb. 13 headline says: MEAP scores higher in 2012. Yeah. But the opening line reads, "Traverse City public school students continue to trail their peers state-wide in standardized math test scores"
What? MEAP scores are higher in four out of five content areas, but R-E leads with one deficit of one school district? It's not until the sixth paragraph where the main idea is written, "Students throughout Traverse Bay Area (TBA) region exceeded state averages for proficient scores in reading, science, social studies and writing at all grade levels."
Amazing work, kids. The story continues, "All students throughout our five-county area also scored lower in math." She sets the tone of her piece with the math deficiency of one school when all five counties are math-deficit. Parallelism. Keep the subject consistent.Please celebrate the awesome accomplishment before stating the one and only deficit of the entire five-county area. Congratulations to all five-county area schools that exceeded state averages in all areas and all grades, except for math. Good job students and teachers.

Give trucks a try
City officials would be wise to look at what other communities are doing about food truck regulation. Durham, N.C., for example has developed a fine set of rules. Surprisingly, city officials got input from everyone involved before they made any decisions. Food trucks are welcomed in Durham. In many cases, they bring fresh, local produce to the city. They are regularly invited to provide food for individual neighborhood events, offering a variety of choices and prices.
Local restaurants welcome the trucks near their locations; seems they bring in people who're looking for food who often then decide to dine in nearby restaurants. Sounds like a win-win arrangement. Let's give it a try.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Most people will never see Rick Hendrick's Heritage Center. In this way, it's a lot like Fort Knox: We know it exists. We know what's in it. But few have been inside -- until now.
Recently, Mr. Hendrick granted NBC Charlotte exclusive access to his private collection and, in a word, the building is enormous.
Exotic cars are lined up next to each other -- one just as incredible as the next -- in a jaw dropping display of classic American muscle.
Jimmie Johnson's crew chief, Chad Knaus, summed it up best when he said, "If you are a car guy, to go in there and look at cars you will be blown away. I mean there is no other museum or venue like that in the world, I can guarantee it."
Hendrick has been collecting cars all of his life. They were just spread out all over the country. The idea to bring everything under one roof didn't come about until the deaths of his son, Ricky, and his father, Joe. Both passed away within months of one another.
When Hendrick's team restored his son's hauler, he dreamed up the idea to put all of Ricky's cars with his father's in one place to make a heritage center.
He did it up right. Inside, Ricky's cars surround his trailer which houses his fire suit and helmet, along with photos and keepsakes. Not far away is the car his father worked on, while the rest of the building is filled out with cars Hendrick has collected from all over the world.
"It's around 140 some or maybe 150 some cars," smiled Mr. Hendrick. "I've got pace cars from when Jeff Gordon won Daytona and when Jimmie Johnson won Daytona."
His favorites by far are Corvette's -- 1967 stingray Corvettes to be exact. He has a 1967 Corvette once owned by Roy Orbison. The 1968 Chevy L-88 -- the most successful Corvette race car in history -- is parked right next to the stingray.
A 1967 Corvette which belonged to King Leopold of Belgium is in there as well. On the corner of Stingray Street and South Hill Street, sitting in its own little Corvette garden, is the first ZR-1.
"I have always had this love affair with those cars," said Hendrick. "I never thought I would own one and it drove me to work hard to try and have enough money to have one."
Let's not forget the Camaros. Hendrick owns the first 2010 model -- vin number one -- along with a 2012. Behind those sits one of his world-record-setting drag boats and Don Prudhomme's 2009 top fuel dragster.
One would think picking a favorite would be next to impossible but when asked, Mr. Hendrick said that without a doubt his 1931 Chevrolet he built with his father tops the list.
It's not just cars in this museum though. Along the walls are storefronts from places which shaped Rick Hendrick's life.
He has a replica of his grandfather's general store where he worked on his first car in a makeshift garage (which was really a bathroom with the commodes removed). There is the Palmer Springs firehouse where his father volunteered. He has a replica of the bank his mother worked in and would write him 90 day notes so he could fix cars. The tractor shop where he worked is next, followed by a scaled down version of the drag strip he watched his father race on back in Virginia.
A little further down is a replica of his first big dealership, City Chevrolet. On display inside the show room is Cole Trickle's stock car from the film Days of Thunder.
Mr. Hendrick even has a re-creation of the ice cream parlor where he met his wife, and his own drive-in theatre -- complete with the speakers on sticks.
Beyond the museum, Hendrick also has a man cave which houses an equally impressive collection of signed guitars. There are guitars signed by Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison and Jimi Hendrix. He has so many that in order to display them all, he had a special glass floor installed and stores some under it.
When he needs to talk things over he heads to his conference room where his glass table is supported by the chassis and motor of his first Corvette. In his lobby sits an eight-foot replica of the NASCAR Sprint Cup trophy. He had it on loan from NASCAR but liked it so much he bolted it to the floor and kept it.
"It's a time capsule and something I love and it takes me back," said Hendrick. "My son isn't here anymore. My mom and dad aren't here anymore. My brothers died in a crash, so I can walk in there and see the history of my life and my family all in front of me and it makes me feel good when I walk in."

After initially canceling a home game on Tuesday, Amber-Pocasset got their fall baseball season underway, splitting Chattanooga in a double-header away.
The first game went the Panthers' way with an 8-2 win, but they just couldn't get the offense going in game two and narrowly fell 2-1.
"For a double-header, this was a good start," head coach Cheyenne Graham said. "In the second game, we just didn't get the big hits like we did in the first."
Ben Parr lead the way in the first game, going 2-for-2. Ethan James and Kevin Voyles both stepped onto the mound to help the Panthers to the win.
Graham said he used both games to get all of his players a chance in the team.
"We used our whole pitching staff," Graham said. "We played everyone, so that was good."
In the second game, Triston Herron got the lone RBI. Despite the Panthers batting better than Chattanooga as a whole, they were never able to turn more of those hits into runs.
Amber hosts part of the Red Dirt Festival on Friday and play Grady County rivals Verden at 4 p.m. The Tigers will play another game right after that, followed by another Panthers game at 8 p.m.

"How long does it go on?" Tyrion Lannister asks in the new trailer for Game of Thrones. "Until we've dealt with all our enemies," responds his sister, Queen Cersei. If that bit of ominous dialogue isn't enough of an indication that the third season of the HBO epic is going to be a great, gruesome bit of television, check out the rest of the trailer for the show, which returns March 31st.
'Game of Thrones' Gets Its Own Beer
As torture-happy King Joffery sits comfortably on the Iron Throne his grandfather Tywin really controls, the new trailer finds a cold-blooded Daenerys Targaryen setting sail for with her growing dragons, Stannis Baratheon regrouping after his defeat at Blackwater, Robb Stark preparing for vengeance and so much more. Winter may finally be coming.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
— —
Journalists tend to develop specialties after years of reporting. There are stories we become especially good at writing and topics we know especially well. One particular specialty I enjoy, and even feel honored to do, is the accounts of veterans. I still remember the day a Coast Guard veteran dropped by the Daily Telegraph the day before the 50th anniversary of the Invasion of Iwo Jima.
I've spoken to veterans who participated in D-Day, the brutal warfare in Korea during the Korean War, and veterans who served their country during the Vietnam War.
Last week, a rare opportunity came up. Four World War II veterans of a PB4Y, the Navy version of the B-24 bomber, were having a reunion at Pipestem State Park. I have interviewed other bomber crew veterans, but this was my first opportunity to speak with four men who had served together on the same aircraft. They were the last survivors of a crew of 10.
The four airmen included John Dumont, 89, of Peterstown; David Smith, 90, of Proctorville, Ohio; Walt Pugsley, 89, of Randolph, NJ; and pilot Bill Bizzell, 95, of Cleveland, Miss. Due to their advanced years, there was a good chance this was going to be their last reunion.
Most people familiar with bombers that flew over Europe have heard about the big raids over Germany and the huge amounts of bombs dropped on factories, railroads, refineries and other facilities to cripple the Nazi war machine. The job of a PB4Y was different. Those bombers carried depth charges instead of bombs, and their job was to patrol parts of the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean.
Their primary target were the German submarines, better known as the U-boats, prowling the oceans and attacking Allied shipping. U-boats threatened to sever Allied lifelines to England earlier in the war, but the Allies soon caught up with better technology and tactics. This crew's PB4Y carried radar, one of those new innovations.
U-boats were under a lot of pressure by 1944, and it was important to keep up that pressure so their forces could not rebound. Air power was one of the most effective ways to counter the U-boats. The way Bizzell explained their missions to me, their job was to keep from attacking. Unlike today's nuclear submarines, U-boats had to surface in order to recharge their batteries; their primary engines were diesels that needed air.
The bomber patrols kept the U-boats on the defensive. Unlike today's nuclear submarines, the German subs had to spend a lot of time on the surface so they could recharge their batteries. They were also a lot slower underwater. Sometimes the crew went out into the Atlantic to fly around convoys heading to and from England.
The Germans tried to extend the life of their subs by installing snorkels or pipes that let their subs use diesel engines while still underwater. The men I spoke with said their radar could detect these snorkels; that was one more thing U-boat crews had to worry about.
PB4Y patrols could last eight to 10 hours. They flew long hours at night while manning a plane carrying explosive depth charges and fuel, so it wasn't an easy task at all. The long hours and danger were necessary to keep the U-boat threat suppressed. It was difficult work that required intensive training.
The generation of people who served their country during World War II are leaving this world fast, so it's important to hear their stories and record them.
This particular crew played a role in a project called Operation Aphrodite. After receiving top secret orders, they flew a specially-modified B-24 from the United States to England. Once there, the bomber was loaded with explosives and fitted with remote control devices.
It was an early attempt at making a guided missile or an armed drone as we know them today. From what I understand, the plan was to fly the bomber within range of a German missile site; once there, the pilots would parachute out. A controller in a trailing plane would take over the bomber and crash it into the target.
Unfortunately, this particular bomber exploded before the pilots could bail out. One of them was Lt. Joseph Patrick "Joe" Kennedy Jr., brother of future President John F. Kennedy. I wonder how history would have been different if that mission had been successful.
The men who gathered at Pipestem gave up years of their lives in order to serve their country. I'm grateful they took the time to speak with me and others about their experiences, and we should all be grateful for their service.

The two-star Hotel St. Georges offers Cheapos an ideal location only a block away from the shopping delights of Avenue Jean Medicin and less than five minutes from the train station.
The St. Georges will make American travelers feel at home too, as its 30 rooms sport a roadside motel look. They're simple, bright, comfortable and air-conditioned. Each room features a flat screen TV and free WiFi. The bathrooms (some quite tiny) are outfitted with white tiles and large showerheads.
A few rooms open up to a common patio garden. If this appeals to you, make sure to ask for a room in the back. And if you're planning to stay more than a week, ask about long-term discounts.
Breakfast is available for an additional fee.

About the Saint Georges neighborhood
The area to the south of the train station and in Nice's center city is full of budget hotels. These vary greatly in terms of character and amenities but generally provide basic rooms at very reasonable prices. Keep in mind that the area immediately surrounding the train station, like in many other cities, has a sleazy edge. The beach is about a 20-minute walk from the train station.

July 30, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A new report says Wisconsin's cranberry industry had an especially productive year last year.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says Wisconsin produced 4.4 million barrels of cranberries in 2011. That's an increase of 11 percent over the 2010 harvest.
Wisconsin's 2011 season got off to a late start because of bad weather, but a mid-season heat wave helped production recover. Some producers said their berries were smaller last year but their overall output was good to average.
Wisconsin remains the nation's leading cranberry producer, harvesting more barrels than the rest of the country does combined.
Wisconsin accounted for 57 percent of last year's national output, while Massachusetts produced 30 percent. New Jersey, Oregon and Washington state accounted for the other 13 percent.
One barrel of cranberries equates to 100 pounds.

Smoking Help
Smoking 101
My article on smoking basics.
Aromatic wood smoke enhances flavors and adds the necessary piece to any outdoor cooking. Choosing the right smoke for the right dish is the secret to true barbecue and the best grilling.
Smoking on a Charcoal Grill
Don't want to buy a smoker when you have a perfectly good Charcoal Grill? I don't blame you. Here's how to make the most of your grill and smoke traditional barbecue.
Wine and BBQ
More and more I see people looking to pair wines with grilled and smoked meats. Many of the so called experts seem to lump everything from a grilled burger to smoked pork shoulder into one category, but those of us who know barbecue and grilling are not so easily fooled. Follow some basic rules and match the right wine with the right food to make a better meal.
BBQ Meatloaf
Take that meatloaf out of the oven and put it in the smoker to add flavor and slow cook it to perfection. It will make you love meatloaf all over again. The secret is to expose as much of it to the smoke as possible to get that flavor deep into the meat without overpowering it. Keep the temperature low to let the meatloaf cook slowly and hold in the moisture.
Pit Cooking
Dig a hole. Fill it with fire. Wrap up something big. Bury it all. Now you've got the makings for a great meal for everyone you know. Pit cooking is one of the oldest methods of cooking and the prefect solution to feeding an army.
Smoking Chicken
Smoking chicken produces the most tender and flavorful chicken you will ever eat. The low and slow process leaves the moisture behind while adding smoke flavor and whatever you add to the mix.
Cold Weather Smoking
Smoking in very cold temperatures is a common problem of the backyard barbecue cook. There are several tricks you can try to keep the temperature under control and hot enough to smoke, no matter the weather.
The History of Barbecue: Part I
From the first time meat was thrown on an open flame to today's 40,000 BTU grills, fire has been the secret to great cooking. Barbecue is a rich history as much about the gathering as it is about the food and how it is prepared.
True Barbecue
Real Barbecue is not something you throw on the grill, it's an American artform that's older than the United States. Take the low and slow route to a great meal.
Barbecue Leftovers
Fixing leftover barbecue requires almost as much care as it did the first time. Store it and reheat it right and it will be as good as it was when you first took it from the smoker.
Barbecue Ribs on the Grill
Learn how to make real barbecue ribs on a charcoal or gas grill.
Making Jerky on your Smoker
Learn how to make your own Jerky in your backyard smoker. Use your smoker to add authentic smoke flavor to any kind of Jerky then finish it off in the smoker or any other appliance that dries food. Done right, youll get great Jerky that everyone will enjoy.
Brining adds flavor, moisture, tenderness and reduces the cooking time of meats. Question is, why don't you do it?
Building a Fire
The first step of mastering grilling is to master the fire. Learn the secrets of fire building and be a better griller.
Outdoor Food Safety
The great outdoors can add a lot to a meal. Keep your food cold, covered and safe so you dont end up adding something you didnt intend.
BBQ and Wine Pairings
A lot of attention has been paid in recent years to the pairing of wine with grilled and smoked foods. Everything from Burgers to Pulled Pork is being matched up with wines. Unfortunately, many of the people doing these recommendations don't know the first thing about BBQ, but I know you do, so share your pairings for all to see. This way we can put together a great list of the best wines for all…

Smoking - Defintion - One of the oldest forms of cooking
Smoking is a process of cooking requiring low temperatures over a long period of time in a smoke filled environment. Smoking is the cooking process of Barbecue
Smoke Ring
A smoke ring is a chemical reaction in meat cooked at slow temperatures. It appears as a layer of pink meat near the surface of barbecued meats. This much sought after affect is believed to show that meat was properly smoked and is true barbecue.
Collagen is a protein that is the basic building block of connective tissues. It's what makes meat toughbut if cooked low and slow it turns into something wonderful.

Amherst Supervisor Satish Mohan is one of those political figures for whom it is nearly impossible to have a neutral opinion, if you've ever met the man.
As a reporter who covered Mohan for his last 2 1/2 years in office, I was neither for him nor against him (something that I had to go great lengths to explain to him on more than one occasion). However, I can say that as a source for my stories I will miss him.
Mohan possessed some admirable qualities as a source. Short of any legal impediment, he gave me any information I asked for. His administrators spoke with me freely and never said, "I have to ask the boss if it's OK."
His natural personality also ensured lively and open debate of public issues in council chambers. While some boards negotiate away dissent and disagreement behind closed doors, Mohan's seat on the Amherst Town Board kept meetings interesting.
I wrote many stories about Mohan of which I know he disapproved, but he was never vindictive and didn't call my desk to complain. Only once, when The News did a midterm survey and evaluation of his tenure, did he make a big issue of my work.
He answered my questions and never directed his secretaries to first find out why I was calling. This is an underrated quality that most of us in journalism wished more politicians possessed. Even when I asked questions that he thought were ridiculous, or would inevitably make him look quite bad, he was rarely evasive, and he never refused to answer. Neither would he avoid my calls the next day.
I once told him I appreciated this responsiveness. He answered simply, "I have to. You represent the public."
If only all politicians thought that way.
With a new supervisor and new Town Board ready to be seated in January, I can only hope they will give government openness, accessibility and transparency the same level of commitment and respect.

How Ideo Helped Reinvent The Pillbox
A truly idiot-proof way to remember to take your meds.
Take all of the pills in your medicine cabinet that you have to track--the prescription drugs you need to remember to take two or three times a day, the multivitamins and fish liver pills you're not sure make a difference--and imagine that instead of all coming in separate bottles, they came packaged together in a pre-assorted, chronological ticker tape of medicine. Instead of keeping track of which medicines you need to take at which time, you just tear off a square packet from the roll and swallow all the pills inside.
This is the idea behind PillPack, a new service out of Somerville, Massachusetts, that aims to be the Amazon Prime of prescription medication.
A startup originally accelerated within Ideo, PillPack is an end-to-end pharmacy and delivery service for pharmaceuticals that is using design to vastly simplify the process of swallowing pills each day. You don't have to worry about pillboxes, reminders, or refills; PillPack takes care of all that for you. All you need to do is tear off the latest M&M Fun Size packet and swallow what's inside when it tells you to.
The system PillPack uses isn't new. Long-term care facilities have been getting medicine for their patients in easy-to-distribute, presorted rolls for years to make life easier for nurses who have to juggle the confusing motley of medications taken by dozens of patients multiple times per day.
That system never really broke out of the old folks' home until now. PillPack's CEO and co-founder T.J. Parker was inspired to start PillPack when his father--the owner of a long-term care pharmacy in Concord, New Hampshire--got swarmed with requests by friends and neighbors, who caught wind of the rolls of medication he was making for local medical facilities and started clamoring for him to put together pill packs for them, too.
What makes the PillPack system so well designed is how idiot-proof it is. Getting started on PillPack is as easy as transferring your existing subscriptions from your local pharmacy: according to PillPack, the process takes less than five minutes. Once you've signed up, PillPack will assemble your medication, presorting the medicines into individually sealed packets lined up chronologically; any interim medication you need while your first PillPack is being assembled is mailed overnight. You get new PillPacks every two weeks. When you get your first shipment, all you do is tear off the first packet and swallow the pills inside at the date and time printed on the front. New PillPacks are automatically sent to you when you need them; four weeks before your last scheduled refill of a prescription, PillPack's pharmacists will follow up with your doctor for a renewal.
A great deal of thought went into the design of the packets themselves. Parker says that it was important not to overload patients with extraneous information: the whole point of the system is that the only thing a patient should have to worry about taking their meds is the date and time printed on each pack. Each packet is clearly printed with the medications inside. A label on the dispenser has images of the pill, with the name and instructions, so it's easy to know exactly what you're taking.
For now, PillPack is focusing on getting medicine to as many people's doors as possible--they still need pharmacy licensing in 19 states--but there's a lot of possibility for leveraging the data they have on patients to improve the PillPack experience. A dedicated app, says Parker, is the obvious next step, but there's also lot of excitement at PillPack about how they could integrate their service with future wearables such as the iWatch or Google Glass, such as by alerting customers when they haven't taken their pills.
PillPack works with most major insurance plans, and costs $20 per month on top of existing co-pays. At that price, says Parker, the service makes most sense for patients who take more than five pills a month, but even if you just need help remembering the aspirin a day, PillPack can help you keep the doctor away.

Please please tell me all the packs are recyclable?? Though a great idea, if this just introduces a bunch more excess waste to the environment, I think it needs to be re-thought until it's sustainable (I would expect no less form IDEO). Also wonder what happens when your dosages change, or are variable?
Yes the packages are recyclable
Walgreens' DailyMed (previously owned by Arcadia) has the same concept with a bunch of more complementary services. This idea has been around for a couple of years before PillPack...
Seems as though this is exactly like MeadWestVaco's "Avive" pill system design from 2012. Might want to fact check here guys..
There might be something to the concept, but in an era of drug insurance, 90 day + refills, and discount drugs, the possible convenience would simply not be worth the cost except in a niche market, such as nursing homes or rehab facilities.
The convenience of never having to organize or remember your pills again is not worth $20 a month? Huh.
Not new. Taiwan has done this kind of packaging for years and years.
And in Japan too, for at least 30 years. Definitely not new!
You can just see the catastrophic consequences when the mixture of tablets in one pouch get messed up or a doctor modifies a prescription dose on one of the 4 tablets when you haven;t finished the pouches - at least when they're in individual packs/bottles you kind of know what they are!
I note the father is a pharmacist. did he not talk to him? Did he not speak to patients who take these mixture of tablets for a number of years and know the likely complications? It's another of those flawed concepts that looks all so lovely jubbly in a design stupio
I dont get the impression this has been designed by somebody who knows much about pharmaceutical science (interesting mix of naming conventions on the photos!), legal issues or indeed what it's like to actually take multiple tablets per day - This just wouldn't work.
Uh, it does work. It's a real product, run out of a pharmacy, by a second-generation pharmacist.
One of the problems that seems immediately obvious to me is losing all the information that comes on your pill bottle. The warnings, expiration date, how many refills you have left, etc. There's a reason all of that info is on the bottle where you'll always have it on hand.
I always throw that stuff away when I fill the weekly dose med box at home. These are for regular medications, not for ones that I'll be keeping on the shelf 'just in case', so expiration dates are not significant. I'd guess that there is a printout with that information included in the mailing box. The fact that they're in a waterproof packet is a big plus. I've ruined a month's supply of assorted meds by spilling water onto a four-week pill box.
This is brilliant. Maybe not defensible longterm, but the simplification of this process is much needed. Every grandparent in America has those anxious filled moments daily wondering if they took the right pills at the right time.
My thought exactly. How is this an advance beyond the less resource-intensive existing method, which, since it's not broke, don't need fixing.
Not a great "invention" - notice the huge increase in packaging waste with this approach.
Much better than missing a dose or taking the wrong meds due to confusion. It is a big advance for people who take a lot of meds regularly.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Fans around the city felt the Panthers loss, but some are already looking forward to next season. And, there's something coming even sooner for sports fans: baseball in the Queen City.
The city seemed to take a collective sigh.
"The first half was really good, and then, I don't know what happened in the second half," said Donnie Snyder, who was at the Panthers playoffs game.
After weeks of riding high—to the culmination that was black Friday with banners, buses and school kids shouting their Panther pride to the morning after, it just feels like a total bummer.
"Yeah, last night was a long night," Snyder said.
But Charlotte sports fans, take heed.
Just a stone's throw from Bank of America stadium some of the final bricks are being laid at the Charlotte Knights stadium.
Five-hundred legacy bricks were sold to the public and were laid Monday.
Many have special stories.
Tim Powitz bought one.
"When I had an opportunity to get a brick engraved I knew I was in the market to get a ring to propose to her. Match made in heaven."
Tim and his college girlfriend used to collect bricks when buildings would be torn down near where they lived.
"The first brick we took, she painted it; wrote a little 'I heart you on it,'" he remembers.
A former Charlotte Knights intern and big time sports fan, Tim bought a replica brick of the one he bought for the stadium and at a family beach trip this summer, he got to work.
"I had her dad plant it in the sand and we went for a walk on the beach, and we went for a walk on the beach and stumbled upon it, and I had the ring in hand."
The couple was married two weeks ago and plans to visit their brick on a regular basis.
And Tim says the fact that opening day is just around the corner makes the loss across the street a little less painful.
"We were all rooting for the Panthers, and it is a little disappointing but it was an exciting season. But you look next door and see all this going up, and it's been such a long thing that people have been waiting for-- and the bricks, people like me and other citizens get to have a little piece in it."
Opening day is April 11. The team store opens March 1 if you can't wait to get your gear.

Ann Arbor SCORE
If you've been putting off starting that blog, Facebook or Twitter account, social media expert Susan Gunelius, wants you to know it's time to make the leap.
Avoiding social media is no longer an acceptable response for a small business owner to take, she said. As the author of "30-Minute Social Media Marketing," she travels the country talking to small business owners about social media.
When she asks them how they learn about businesses and new products they overwhelmingly tell her they turn to the Internet and search engines to find what they need.
"I'll tell you, out of the hundreds and hundreds I've spoken to, I'd say probably two raised their hand and said they used something other than Google or whatever their favorite search engine is," she said.
By committing to spending small blocks of time online each day, even the most timid computer user can improve their online visibility. Gunelius recommends 10 minutes when you arrive at work, 10 minutes before leaving for lunch and 10 minutes before leaving the office.
"I always say every minute you can spend online on the social web can only help your business, and every minute you are not there, you better believe your competitors are more than happy to take that opportunity," she said.
Here are five tips from Gunelius to improve your social media literacy:
1. Play first. Choose a social media tool such as a blog, Facebook page, Twitter page or LinkedIn profile to get familiar with and create a personal account. Gunelius said she encourages new users to create a personal blog on www.wordpress.com.
"Start a personal blog about a topic you like," she said. "You can make it private if you want to. Learn how to use the tool. Create a personal account, something not associated with your business. Play around with it for a few weeks. Get to know how it works and spend some time basically doing your due diligence learning and getting an idea of how things work."
Once you know how things work, you can create a blog for your business which will improve your search engine rankings and making it easier for customers to find you, she said.
2. Look for help online. Make a habit of visiting websites designed to help you get the most out of your social media efforts. Gunelius' favorite site is www.socialmediaexaminer.com. Another helpful site is www.socialmediatoday.com.
3. Focus on long-term goals. Once you find a platform you wish to use, whether it is Wordpress, Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, focus on long-term goals of building relationships, and creating quality content.
"The point of social media marketing is building relationships that turn into conversations, that turn people into brand advocates, who are going to go out and talk about your brand, and build that long-term, sustainable, organic growth that's going to help your business thrive through any macro or micro environmental factor, whether it be a recession or anything like that," she explained. "That long-term growth is what's going to keep a small business in business for a long time."
4. Follow the 80/20 rule. Eighty percent of the time, focus on providing quality content to your customers. Twenty percent of your conversations can be self-promotional, she said. To illustrate, she said, if you meet a customer offline you can work to befriend them by talking and sharing information with them, or you can walk up and hand them a 20 percent off coupon, tell them to come to your store and leave.
"Which one are people going to respond better to?" she asked. "They might like that 20 percent off sale, but for that long-term sustainable growth, you have to be working more on building relationships and getting people to believe in your brand, your promise, what you stand for. They come to know what to expect from you and they know that you're going to deliver on that promise in every interaction."
5. Pick something you like. Choose a platform that appeals to you. If you are uncomfortable writing each day, then a blog on Wordpress might not be the best choice. Choose something you can use and have fun with.
"There are no barriers to entry for the social web," she said. "So don't be intimidated, get your feet wet. Before you put the face of your business out there on these accounts, play around with the tools."
"The thing for small business owners, especially, if you're the only one who's doing your social media, is that you pick something you enjoy first," she said. "You can always expand later. Ultimately, that should be your goal you want to surround people with your branded content so they can self-select how they want to interact with your brand, that's your ultimate goal."

WASHINGTON — Government workers have fallen slightly further behind the private sector in pay, a federal advisory group reported last week.
The Federal Salary Council, a group of union officials and pay policy experts, said the average "pay gap" in favor of the private sector now stands at 35.4 percent, up from 34.6 percent last year and 26.3 percent in 2011.
According to the data, the gap is largest in the San Francisco and Washington-Baltimore areas, just above 49 percent, and lowest in a "catchall" area, 22.5 percent.
The pay-gap figure, based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, involves employees paid under the largest of the government's pay systems, the General Schedule for white-collar employees below the executive level. Pay rates under the GS system are locality-based, varying among 31 metropolitan areas, the entirety of Alaska and Hawaii and a catchall "rest of the U.S." locality for everywhere else apart from foreign countries.
The council's calculations represent the government's official word on comparing federal and private-sector pay, a topic of long-running controversy.
Officials and union leaders have said that the federal workforce includes many highly skilled workers who would be making far more in the private sector.
Other studies using different methods and data have found federal employees ahead on average by varying amounts.
The conservative Heritage Foundation, for example, concluded in 2010 that federal employees are overpaid by 22 percent on average over comparably skilled private-sector workers, with the greatest advantage for lower-skilled employees.
James Sherk, a senior policy analyst in labor economics at Heritage who performed the study, said "virtually all the economic research on federal pay outside (the council's) methodology consistently finds that the typical federal employee is making more than he or she would in the private sector."
Instead of across-the-board increases, the government should pay according to market demand for skills and an individual's job performance, Sherk said. "It doesn't serve anyone well to have a system where pay is almost completely independent of what you do on the job."
The BLS study was conducted while the federal workforce was in the middle of what turned out to be a three-year freeze on salaries. That freeze is expected to end in January.
Before that stretch, raises had been paid almost every year for decades, and union leaders said they hoped a government returning to annual raises would help stop federal pay slippage.
The budget agreement passed in the House and approved by the Senate last week is silent on a raise. That leaves room for President Barack Obama to issue an executive order for an across-the-board raise of 1 percent. However, language in separate legislation is needed to extend the raise to blue-collar employees, which could be done in a wrap-up spending bill to be considered in January.

Vila Nova de Gaia
|Vila Nova de Gaia
Municipal Council of Vila Nova de Gaia
Location in Portugal
|Grande Porto
|• Total
|168.7 km2 (65.1 sq mi)
|• Total
Vila Nova de Gaia, or simply Gaia (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈvilɐ ˈnɔvɐ ðɨ ˈɣajɐ]) is a city in Vila Nova de Gaia Municipality, Portugal. It is located in the Porto District, south of the city of Porto on the other side of the Douro River. The city proper has a population of 178,255[1] and the municipality contains 24 parishes with a total population of 288,749 inhabitants, and is the most populous municipality in Norte Region. Gaia together with Porto and other 12 municipalities makes up the commonly designated Porto Metropolitan Area.
It is also well known for its cellars (locally known as "caves") where the world famous Port wine is stored and aged. These cellars have become a major tourist attraction.
Coat of arms and flag[edit]
The coat of arms consists of a grey crest with two golden-yellow bunches of grapes on the bottom with a black castle over the water, and with a person blowing the horn. The grapes intend to represent the city's connection with the wine industry, mainly Port wine, whose cellars are in the lower part of the city.
The flag is colored dark yellow to black in four each.
History of the municipality[edit]
Vila Nova de Gaia already existed under the Roman Empire as the city of Cale. It developed most likely from a preexistent Celtic Castro, or Neolithic settlement. The origin of the name Cale (or Gale, since in Classical Latin there was not always a clear distinction between the letters "g" and "c") is likely Celtic, from the root "Gall-" with which Celts referred to themselves, similarly to Galicia, Gaul or Galway. The river itself has a presumably Celtic name, Douro (Durus in Latin) maybe after Celtic "dwr", water.[citation needed] In Roman times the bulk of the population probably lived south of the river Douro, and on the north side, there was a smaller settlement around the deep water port which now is the Ribeira neighbourhood of Porto. The name of Porto, in high medieval times Portus Cale, thus stood for the harbour ("portus" in Latin) of the city of Cale. With the important trade of the river Douro, which is easily navigable up to the Régua deep inland, the Porto part of the city came to overgrow Cale, and became the most important part of town, where the Bishopric and the merchants were established.
With the Moorish invasions in the eighth century C.E., the de facto frontier between the Islamic state and the Christian one came to rest for a considerable period of time on the river Douro, around the year 1000. With the constant raids and counter-raids, the town of Cale, or Gaia, was deserted and most of its inhabitants took refuge in Porto.
After the conquest and pacification of the southern side of the Douro river after 1035, with the exodus or expulsion of the Muslim populations, leaving behind semi-abandoned fertile lands, colonists from the north settled in exchange for better feudal contracts with the newly appointed lords. These migrants refounded the old city of Cale or Gaia under the name of Vila Nova de Gaia (new town of Gaia) around the old castle and ruins of "old Gaia".
The name of the double city of Porto and Gaia was frequently referred to in contemporary documents as "villa de Portucale", and the county of the Kingdom of León which was centered around it was named Condado Portucalense. This county was eventually expanded and after gaining its independence, became the Kingdom of Portugal.
Vila Nova de Gaia is the Portuguese municipality with the biggest number of Blue Flag beaches in 2009 and in 2010: 17 beaches along 17 km of seaside.
The city attracts a great number of tourists and the wine cellars are considered to be a must-see in any trip to area of Porto.
Some popular beaches are: Miramar, Granja, Aguda, Valadares, Francelos, Madalena and Canidelo.

A few years ago I found myself in search of a new hobby. My practice had grown to a point where I worked 30 hours a day, and
with two little children, I had little downtime to blow off steam. Money was tight, horseback riding was out of the question
since my faithful horse had died, and a recent attempt at boating had turned into a fiasco. (It's true what they say about
boats being holes in the water to throw money into.)
I considered the various genres and quickly ruled out romance novels (too girlie), how-to books (too dull), biographies (even
duller), and science fiction (too technological). That left Western adventure. Like most of us who grew up in the 1950s and
'60s, my life was filled with Western lore. My father was an ex-cavalryman from before World War II, back when they still
rode, and he put me on a horse as soon as I was out of diapers. He served as an armaments officer in the Air Force for a while,
and it wasn't long before I collected a wallful of antique firearms and cutlery. Some of my fondest childhood memories are
of watching Westerns on television with my dad. At one point in the late 1950s, about 300 of them aired on the small screen.
Urban dweller or not, Western adventure was ingrained into my psyche.
My novel ended up in my desk drawer for many years until October 2005 when I chanced upon a new edition of an old Western
novel. The book cover explained that Five Star Publishing was a new company dedicated to Western literature. So I dug my manuscript
out of the desk and sent it to them, and three weeks later Trail Hand: A Western Story was accepted. It was published in hardcover last December.
Becoming a published novelist hasn't changed my life much; I'm still plugging away at my day job at the Veterinary Trauma
Center in Groveland, Fla. But once in a while, I get to ride my new horse, Cutter, and occasionally get some shooting in.
I still have late nights—my second novel, Vengeance Is Mine, is currently under consideration, and I'm working on my third.

R.W. Stone, DVM, is chief of staff of the Veterinary Trauma Center in Groveland, Fla.
