Dodgers sale: Four bidders remain, Cohen bringing in Tony La Russa, Soon-Shiong

Time is running out for Dodgers owner Frank McCourt to choose a new owner before opening day. The number of bidders is now down to four. There've also been a few surprises late in the game.
We have roughly two weeks remaining before Dodgers owner Frank McCourt must sell the team. Bidders have been dropping like flies, leaving only a March Madness-appropriate Final Four groups. It remains to be seen whether all four will make it to McCourt's final auction — the Major League Baseball owners doing the eliminating will first send the finalist to a vote by all owners.
Regardless, McCourt has to conduct his auction and choose a winner by the first week in April. The money must change hands by April 30.
Here's who's left:
•Hedge-fund billionaire Steven Cohen, along with sports agent Arn Tellem and new partners Tony La Russa, the baseball great, and Patrick Soon-Shiong, an Angeleno whose personal wealth is estimated at over $7 billion.
•Former Laker great Magic Johnson, Stan Kasten, plus a new financial partner (see below).

It's getting close to decision time for Frank McCourt on choosing a winning Dodgers bidder.
We're getting down to the wire in the bidding for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Owner Frank McCourt is expected to conduct a final auction in time to announce a winning bidder by the first week in April, with the money changing hands and the team officially emerging from bankruptcy by April 30.
Right now, with the bids all in, the various parties who want to buy the team are being vetted by Major League Baseball. Some of the final bidders have fallen by the wayside — notably surprise late entry Jared Kushner, who owns the New York Observer and is Donald Trump's son-in-law. Grant Brisbee has the most recent lowdown. Seems that five bidder-groups are likely to pass MLB muster.
I was a bit stunned to learn that Magic Johnson and Stan Kasten — the local favorites after Rick Caruso and Joe Torre dropped their bid — have put up the highest dollar figure at $1.6 billion. I didn't think anyone would outbid Steven Cohen, the hedge fund guy who's reportedly worth $8 billion on his own. Cohen's bid is evidently $1.4 billion, according to Brisbee. But Forbes thinks — as I do — that Cohen is the only bidder with enough money essentially already in the bank to write Frank McCourt a big check. That's the way Forbes' Mike Ozanian is spinning it, anyway.

UPDATE: The Disney Family is also still in the running. So a total of five known and two unknown bidders.
The number of bidders for the bankrupt Los Angeles Dodgers has been narrowed to six, according the L.A. Times. Two are mysterious and unknown. But five aren't. They are:
•Steven Cohen, a secretive Connecticut hedge fund billionaire who is probably the richest guy still in the running, with a personal net worth estimated at $8 billion
•Tom Barrack of Colony Capital, a $30-billion L.A.-based private equity firm
•Magic Johnson, in partnership with Stan Kasten
•Jared Kushner, the boy-wonder son-in-law of Donald Trump who has so far distinguished himself by running a money-losing weekly newspaper, the New York Observer
•The Disney Family (haven't heard much about this bid, to be honest)
Dodgers sale: Rick Caruso and Joe Torre yank bid over parking lots

Parking lots? Yes, parking lots. The Dream Team of bidders for the bankrupt Los Angeles Dodgers, developer Rick Caruso and former Dodgers manager Joe Torre, has dropped out of the final rounds of bidding because current owner Frank McCourt insists on keeping the parking lots that surround Dodger Stadium.
The Los Angeles Times has obtained a copy of the letter that Caruso and Torre sent to Major League Baseball on Feb. 17. In it, they leave open the possibility of re-entering the fray. But in retrospect, we should have seen this coming. The parking lots aren't part of the bankruptcy proceeding. But it was widely assumed that McCourt would let them go to sweeten the deal.
Of course, McCourt is, down deep, a parking lot guy. This is where he made his money, back in Boston before he came west to try his hand an running a storied MLB franchise. Caruso is also a parking lot guy, in a manner of speaking. If he and Torre had been able to buy the Dodgers, he would have let Joe run the team while he set about remaking Chavez Ravine in the manner of the Grove and the Americana at Brand, his beloved, Vegasized shopping meccas in L.A.
Dodgers sale: New York media mini-mogul and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner jumps in
Corey Bridwell/KPCC
Kristie Wold from Downey, CA celebrated McCourt's decision to part with the Dodgers on Wednesday, November 2, 2011.
Well, this was totally unexpected. Jared Kushner — the boyish owner of the New York Observer, scion of a somewhat controversial money clan from the Big Apple, and husband to Ivanka Trump — has made it to the next round of bidding for the Los Angeles Dodgers. How Kushner gets through when Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban doesn't is a mystery to me. But there he is. This is from Bill Shaikin at the LA Times:
Jared Kushner, born into a prominent New York real estate family and son-in-law of Donald Trump, has emerged as a candidate in the bidding for the Dodgers.
Kushner, who became owner and publisher of the New York Observer in 2006, has played a key role in expanding the family business beyond real estate. At 31, he would be the youngest owner in Major League Baseball.
The Kushner bid is one of at least nine to advance to the second round of the Dodgers' ownership sweepstakes. The bid has not previously surfaced publicly and was confirmed by a person familiar with the sale process but not authorized to discuss it.

A quick look at available sources doesn't indicate any of that model seat available, except for one I found in biscuit. I'm pretty sure your toilet is white or you would have told us. Want one in biscuit? I can tell you where to get it. Otherwise, doesn't look like they are exactly easy to find.
And they are absurdly-expensive. But so are all the parts for this esoteric item.
The good news is that the mounting holes for the bolts are in the same standard 5.5" centered layout that all but the most exotic of toilets use. There are a lot of opportunities to find a replacement. And with your budget of more than $150 for a Porcher seat, you will have a whole lot of options, provided that they open cleanly in that little restricted area around the toilet tank.
You could get yourself a nice bidet seat, or see if Porcher recommends one of their newer seats for this model. Or, you could make yourself a little template of the space around the bolt holes, and visit a good store to see if they have a seat you like. You might check out the dimensions of some of the Toto seats, like the SS114; perhaps one of those would fit the bill for you. And you'd have over a hundred dollars still in your pocket.
Update: I just looked at the spec sheet for the Toto SS114, which looks somewhat similar to your seat (although it has varied in design in the last few years and all the designs have the same model number; one looks kind of like yours and one doesn't). In any event, the spec sheet says that the Toto is 18.5 inches from the center of the mounting holes to the end of the seat. Your Porcher is 16.25. So you need a shorter seat than the SS114.

For 54 years, Rev. Doug Ford has led the congregation at Hardin's Chapel Bible Church, in Ragland. Ford now says he plans to stay at the church, but in "a comfortable pew" with his wife, Mildred, as a member of the congregation.
Ford is retiring as pastor at Hardin's Chapel, after a lifetime of worship and service that includes "over 2,000" funerals, a congregation that has grown steadily and a Dial-A-Devotion program that fielded "probably one million" calls.
Doug and Mildred have been valuable members of the community in Ragland, and will hopefully continue to be vital parts of the congregation at Hardin's Chapel in the future. Congratulations to them both, and God bless.

Colorado To Tax Legalized Marijuana
Originally published on Tue April 30, 2013 9:19 am
By editor
Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.
The debate over taxes now extends to pot. Colorado voted to legalize marijuana but lawmakers have been debating how to tax it, and that debate is partisan. Democrats want taxes high, saying consumers will gladly pay. Republicans want lower taxes, saying otherwise a black market will develop. But to their credit, lawmakers took a deep breath, inhaled, and let the system work. After considering a 30 percent tax, the State House trimmed it to 25.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi leave Ciampino Airport in Rome in this June 10, 2009 file photograph.
By Claudio Lavanga, NBC News Producer
ROME – "Sic transit gloria mundi" is a Latin phrase that means "Thus passes the glory of the world."
It is the phrase Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi used to describe the death of Col. Moammar Gadhafi, the late Libyan leader who once was a personal friend and political ally.
Ironically, Italians are now using this Latinism on social networks like Twitter and Facebook to wave Berlusconi goodbye a day after he announced he will resign once both houses of parliament approve financial reforms.
It is a final epitaph for a prime minister whose government has been dead in the water for months.
Italians woke up on Wednesday morning to the real prospect that, after 17 years, the curtain may finally go down on Berlusconi's political roadshow. And they had plenty of opinions on his allegedly imminent exit.
'Champagne is in the fridge'
"It's too late. He waited too long and still he is not gone yet. He is taking his time to figure out how to play one of his tricks, like passing a few more laws to protect him from his legal problems," said Eleonora Torchia, an unemployed teacher.
"The champagne is in the fridge, but we'll wait for the day he goes for real before we open it," Torchia added.
She, as others, suspected the prime minister, who has broken his promises in the past, is just buying time to pave the way for the future of his party and will go on his own terms.
"I don't believe he will leave. He is too attached to his throne. I'll believe it when I see it," said
Cristian Maceri, another Roman.
NBC's Claudio Lavangna reports from Italy on reaction to word Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi will resign when economic reforms pass.
Tana de Zulueta, a journalist and a former member of the Italian parliament, was also extremely doubtful that Berlusconi was truly motivated to do what was best for the country.
"He is just buying time in the relentless drive to take care of his businesses before he goes. He wants to stuff the reforms with laws that would help his companies and himself and make sure that one of his men becomes prime minister next," said Zulueta. "The markets have seen this clearly, they don't believe he's going to go anytime soon."
The world markets did tumble in early trading on Wednesday amid fears that Italy's debt woes could push Europe's third largest economy to the brink.
Others didn't waste time to post sarcastic depictions of the prime minister online, such as the poster of "Dimission Impossible," in which Berlusconi's face is placed over Tom Cruise's in a classic Mission Impossible movie pose.
Even Berlusconi would find this funny and appropriate, because there is no doubt that his was an action-packed political career, and he has always liked to be seen as some sort of hero that would carry Italy into the next century.
Instead, Italy is quickly heading back to the dark ages of economic instability, and his star power is fading quicker than Arnold Schwarzenegger when it became clear that he was better at fighting indestructible robots than California's economic downfalls.
Time up
"The show is over," a receptionist at the Albergo Nazionale Hotel next to the Lower House of Parliament said on Wednesday. And his might be much more than a metaphor.
Berlusconi has been without a doubt the ultimate showman of Italian politics. He managed to use his flamboyant personality to convince millions of Italians that he was one of them: A self-made man with no shame to admit a taste for beautiful women, funny jokes and a disregard for the law.
Among the many nicknames he was given, one was "The Great Communicator," and for a good reason. He managed to turn from a rich businessman into prime minister in a matter of months, by using his private television network and editorial empire to promote his candidacy and his political ideas.
Looking back at one of his first political TV ads back in 1994 one can see why Italians were taken by him. He was the image of a polished politician – complete with a reassuring aura created by professional lighting technicians and a white smile that could have been used for a toothpaste advertisement – he looked straight at them, in the comfort of their own houses.
Compared to the boring, dusty image of "same old, same old" politicians, his image at the time was an instant winner. That kept him in power for 17 long years.
Berlusconi's remarkable story is now in the closing credits. But they will last at least a few days if not weeks because just like every other silver screen hero, Berlusconi won't go down without one last fight.

Wet-weather 'wheeling-and winching-in the land of the Maya
Roughly the size of Massachusetts, the Caribbean nation of Belize has long been a popular destination for travelers seeking the lure of its white-sand beaches, marine reserves, and its famed barrier reef-the longest in the Americas. But as it turns out, there's another side to this small country, a world of pine-covered mountains, tropical rainforests, and ancient Maya settlements seldom seen by tourists. So when our friends at Land Rover asked us if we'd like to spend a couple of days exploring the Maya backcountry last summer, we jumped at the chance, and hopped on a plane to Belize City, where our adventure begins.
Flying into the interior on a small charter jet, we marvel at the change in the country's topography, as alluvial floodplain gives way to mile after mile of highland pine forest. From our seats we can see a maze of dirt tracks snaking their way through the mountains, and we begin to wonder what 'wheeling wonders are in store. A half hour later, we land at a dirt airstrip, where we're whisked away to our night's lodgings, a rustic cabin complex at Five Sisters in the Pine Ridge Forest Reserve. After a hearty dinner accompanied by cold bottles of Belikin-the local brew, and quite tasty-we wander off to our cabanas to be lulled to sleep by the chirping of crickets.
The day dawns cloudy and very, very humid. At the lodge's entrance we're greeted by a fleet of new Land Rovers, and by our support crew, which includes familiar faces such as Bill Burke, Daphne Greene, and Lee Magee-Camel Trophy veterans all. Some members of the Belize Defense Force, who'll be riding point for the duration of our trek in a diesel Landy 110, are also on hand. While the Camel crew's LR3s are equipped with Warn winches, roof racks, and recovery gear, our flotilla of press Rovers are completely unmodified-save the tires, each Rover sporting a set of aggressive 255/55R19 Goodyear Wrangler MTRs. Don't bother looking for them in the Goodyear catalog-they were made to order exclusively for our 10-vehicle convoy. Knowing what it costs to produce a new tire-the molds cost upwards of 50 grand each-we surmise that these are the priciest treads we've ever driven, and likely ever will.
Under increasingly menacing skies, we bid farewell to the Five Sisters, and after a leisurely hour-long meander on pavement, through winding mountain two-lanes, we arrive at the magnificent Maya city of Caracol.
Caracol was continuously inhabited for over a thousand years, from roughly 600 BC to nearly 900 AD, and its mysteries-like those of the Maya itself-are only now beginning to be answered. How did the Maya maintain this highland city (and many others) for so long without a permanent source of fresh water? And why did the Maya suddenly abandon this site in the 9th century AD, as they seem to have done at other settlements throughout their empire, after inhabiting it for centuries? Recent excavations have provided some answers-throughout Caracol, archaeologists have discovered huge cisterns dug into the ground, which were coated with limestone, then sealed with plaster; the Maya evidently used these as reservoirs for rain water, which they then used year-round. This system worked well-as long as annual rainfall was constant and reliable.
Caracol (Spanish for "snail"; the Maya called it Oxwitza, "Three-Hill Water") is the largest Maya city in Belize, and one of the largest Maya settlements in all of Central America; at its peak in the 6th century AD, an estimated population of 150,000 lived and labored in more than 30,000 structures here. Lost for nearly a millennium amid dense forest, the city was rediscovered in the 1930s, with earnest excavations beginning only in the mid-'80s. After 20 years of near-continuous digging, only the city center has yet been excavated-an estimated 10 percent of the total urban area-but what has been recovered to date sprawls over 23 square miles of former wilderness and includes some of the largest intact structures of the Maya period. Among the ruins are buildings once used for administrative offices, imposing religious temples, dwellings for the temple priests and royalty, observatories and schools, a ball court, and various tombs and sepulchres. Upright stone stele-some as high as 10 feet-depicting important dates or events in Maya history are scattered throughout the site, though most are reproductions, the originals having been removed for safekeeping (see sidebar on page 75).
Besides being skilled architects and engineers, the Maya were sophisticated astronomers, and the 365-day calendar they codified millennia ago-we don't know exactly when, though the Maya "long count" calendar marks the start of time at 3114 BC-is virtually as accurate as the calendar we use today. Many Maya communities didn't practice irrigation-employing slash-and-burn agriculture instead-and as such had to know the exact dates to start planting their crops and to anticipate the coming of the annual rainy and dry seasons. They were also, contrary to popular belief, a highly competitive civilization, and rival tribes waged frequent wars against each other. And herein lie possible clues to the Maya's downfall. Recent dendrological discoveries suggest a prolonged drought throughout Central America in the 8th century-the severity of which the Maya had never experienced-and archaeologists now posit that this lengthy period of climate change, combined with decades of population growth, unsustainable agricultural practices, excessive demands on food supplies, and internecine wars waged over increasingly scarce resources all contributed to the Maya's rapid decline around 900 AD. Walking amid these towering ruins, though, it's humbling to ponder that this ancient people-once thought by Western scholars to be savages-had developed a complex and thriving culture many centuries before the grand cathedrals and palaces of medieval Europe were conceived.

TALLAHASSEE -- Florida State added a letter of intent from defensive tackle Keith Bryant that helped close out its 2013 Signing Day efforts. The Delray Beach product was the nation's 16th-best defensive tackle and the lone defensive tackle in the class.
(All videos are courtesy of Seminoles.com)
Keith Bryant, DT, Delray Beach (Atlantic)
Florida State added four-star defensive tackle Keith Bryant to the mix Wednesday afternoon as the Seminoles continued their Signing Day efforts. Bryant said he wanted to stay in Florida because of his 1-year-old daughter. (CHRIS HAYS/ORLANDO SENTINEL / November 24, 2012)
Ht: 6-2 Wt: 302 Class: 2013
Recruiting Buzz: The lone defensive tackle the Seminoles looked at this recruiting cycle, Bryant is expected to be a big addition to an already large and good unit. He joins the likes of Timmy Jernigan, Jacobbi McDaniel, Eddie Goldman and Demonte McAllister, among others, at the position. Jernigan and Goldman were two of the nation's top defensive tackles the last two years. Bryant was choosing between FSU, South Carolina and Miami.
Rankings 247 Composite: 0.9205
National overall: No. 183, National by position: No. 16, State overall: No. 27
Recruited by: Odell Haggins
Stars: Four (per 247Sports.com's composite score)
40-yard dash: 5.18 (per 247Sports.com)
Other offers: South Carolina, Miami, Florida Atlantic, Louisville
Analysis: The Seminoles appear added the lone defensive tackle after having bolstered the position with other recruits in recent years. Eddie Goldman, Justin Shanks and Timmy Jernigan are arguably the biggest up-and-coming stars they have added at the spot in the last two classes.
Earlier this offseason, FSU lost a pair of talented and proven veterans in Everett Dawkins and Anthony McCloud. With their eligibility now exhausted, the pair are hoping to be drafted this April. After appearances at the Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine Game, respectively, Dawkins and McCloud are expected to make that happen.
As the depth chart shifts around to accomodate for their departures, the Seminoles bring in Bryant, a mobile, aggressive and solid interior lineman. He comes in with accolades similar to what Goldman had last year and Jernigan the year before. According to 247Sports.com's composite ratings, he's the 16th-best player at his position in the country. Already slightly more than 300 pounds, Bryant will come to FSU pretty close to the ideal playing weight for a college tackle. Adding to that weight slightly and sculpting it into even more muscle will be the task for the training staff.
South Carolina and Miami also courted him.
On film, Bryant seemed to posses a quick first step for such a large lineman. He had pretty quick subsequent steps, too, as it seems he finished more plays in the backfield than on his side of the line of scrimmage. According to 247Sports.com, the U.S. Army All-American had 12 sacks his junior season. He had 90 total tackles that same year, his profile on the website also says.
It can sometimes be difficult evaluating high school linemen on both sides of the ball because it's hard to tell how good or prepared their competition was for them. It isn't often that high school offensive lines face athletic, 300-pound defensive tackles. When they do, they usually are exposed. Bryant exposed a lot of teams in his high school career, it seems. All of that said, though, in addition to his quick burst off the line, he also has a few rush moves, it seems. In college, he'll of course hone those and work on jamming up linemen so that holes can open for blitzing linebackers and rushing ends who will finish in the backfield now more often than he will.
He'll likely begin his career behind the likes of Jernigan, Goldman and Shanks. Senior Jacobbi McDaniel, who missed all of the 2012 season and much of the 2011 season with an ankle injury, will be back in the mix, as well. So will Demonte McAllister, Nile Lawrence-Stample and Derrick Mitchell, who also is coming off a seasonlong injury. Jernigan, Goldman, McDaniel and McAllister may be expected to get the bulk of the snaps at the positions this season. Next spring, though, after McDaniel leaves (and possibly Jernigan, depending upon reviews the junior may get after this season), Bryant has a better chance to be in the regular mix.

Taking stock of all that Sandy stole
(Page 3 of 3)
I kept telling myself that this wouldn't be the end. We'd buy a new treadmill. We would run again. There would be a new cross-country season. My son would start his track club. No storm would defeat us.
Still, I hate the smell of Hurricane Sandy. Across the South Shore, it remains in the air to this day.

Summary of Telling the Bees Summary of Telling the Bees Reviews for Telling the Bees An Excerpt from Telling the Bees
A lifelong beekeeper, Albert Honig is deeply acquainted with the ways and workings of the hives. He knows that bees dislike wool clothing and foul language; that the sweetest honey is made from the blooms of eucalyptus; and that bees are at their gentlest in a swarm. But Albert is less versed in the ways of people, especially his beautiful, courageous, and secretive friend Claire.
A friend and neighbor since childhood, Claire was a hovering presence—and then a glaring absence—in Albert's life, a change that has never been reconciled. When she is killed in a seemingly senseless accident during a burglary gone wrong, Albert is haunted by the loss. In the aftermath of this tragedy, he is left to piece together the events of their lives to attempt to make sense of their shared past and the silence that persisted between them for a decade before her death. What Albert comes to learn is that Claire's secrets were far darker than anything he could have imagined...
Praise for Telling the Bees
"[A] stately and beautiful novel . . . Only a superhuman reader will be able to resist foraging through the house looking for that half-eaten jar of honey."—Carolyn See, Washington Post
"Elegantly crafted . . . While readers are likely to find themselves longing for a plate of buttered toast and honey, there's nothing 'cozy' about Telling the Bees—it's downright gorgeous."—The Christian Science Monitor
"Elegiac in its tone, Telling the Bees is a quiet, meditative novel, dressed up as a murder mystery, but more geared towards examining the intricacies of the human condition and the power of secrets when voiced than in identifying who killed Claire. As Albert slowly sifts through his fragile memories of the past, patient readers will be rewarded with a rich story that softly stings and is utterly unforgettable."—BookPage
"Reminiscent of Marilynne Robinson's Gilead, Hesketh's debut explores family secrets and end-of-life reflections. The author's exceptional storytelling skills allow us not only to understand Albert's feelings, but to experience those emotions right along with him. Readers in search of a heartfelt, thought-provoking novel will find what they are looking for in this journey through the life of an unassuming apiarist who knows more about his reclusive neighbors than anyone could guess."—Library Journal (starred review)
"Elegiac in its tone, Telling the Bees is a quiet, meditative novel, dressed up as a murder mystery, but more geared towards examining the intricacies of the human condition and the power of secrets when voiced than in identifying who killed Claire. As Albert slowly sifts through his fragile memories of the past, patient readers will be rewarded with a rich story that softly stings and is utterly unforgettable."—BookPage
"In her invention of the singular Mr. Honig (and his life, from an early age) Hesketh has created a stubborn and enigmatic and duplicitously withholding character whose life story is nonetheless told richly, in turns melancholy, exhilarating, sociological, with a murder mystery and a deep appreciation for the stories we all construct for ourselves and for others."—OC Weekly
"A story of shared history, secrets of omission, and revisited memories, Telling the Bees is nostalgic and hauntingly poetic. Richly detailed and sparsely populated, Hesketh's debut novel relies on Albert's depth of narration and an enlightening amount of apiology. Reminiscent of the work of Karen Joy Fowler and Peter Orner, Telling the Bees reminds readers that even quiet hives are deceptively active."—Booklist
"Telling the Bees is a marvel. With infinite compassion and perfect pitch, Peggy Hesketh has written an American classic: the inadvertent examination of a life unlived, told by the 80-year-old beekeeper who didn't live it. It's a wonderful read for anyone who loves a great and unforgettable story told well."—Elizabeth George, New York Times-bestselling author of the Inspector Lynley series
"What a wonderful novel! The voice is so masterfully done, the mysteries of life and death so compellingly evoked. But best of all is the way Telling the Bees reminds us that even the quietest life will still hold its full measure of drama and passion." —Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times-bestselling author of The Jane Austen Book Club
"In Peggy Hesketh's poignant debut novel, Telling the Bees, the lasting effects of long held secrets is at the core of beekeeper Albert Honig's otherwise quiet world. In the twilight of his life, Honig is haunted by the past memories of his long-time neighbors. Rich in detail, Hesketh has crafted a thoughtful, compelling story of loss and regret and the unforeseeable consequences that come when the truth is finally revealed. A wonderful read." —Gail Tsukiyama, author of A Hundred Flowers
"Telling the Bees is a charming tale of a bygone era evoking the power of the past to influence the future. Hesketh's ability to create an evocative narrative will leave readers eager to read more by this talented writer."—Jo-Ann Mapson, author of Solomon's Oak and Finding Casey

Antique-style cafe satisfies that turkey-and-Swiss fix with warm, made-to-order sandwiches. – In Short
The owners of a Chicago antique shop decided to start serving sandwiches to their customers in 1977--and it ended up taking over the business. As the restaurant expanded, natural woods and antique fixtures were used to re-create the signature, old-time country store look at every location. The warm, fresh-roll sandwiches share this classic character--from roast beef and provolone to the Wreck (salami, roast beef, turkey, ham and Swiss). Malts, shakes, root beer floats and homemade ice cream sandwiches complete the throwback.
as good as the original – love the spicy meatball sandwich, makes me think i am back in chicago. the cookies are a great treat as well. Hopefully, this one will be open for breakfast soon.

No Luck Yet!
Pros: Small, Fast, Easy, Discreet
Cons: Remembering, Relying on own vision/interpretation
It was difficult to get the right amount of saliva onto the microscope and allow for the proper drying time. I have only been using this product for a month, but haven't seen the "ferning" in the sample like the manual suggests. I'm going to give it a go next month, my cycles may not be back on track after just returning 2 months ago.

Ballet in HD: Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake
Sunday, March 3, 2013
1:00 pm
Purchase tickets online
When it premiered at Sadler's Wells in London in 1995, Matthew Bourne's triumphant reinterpretation of Swan Lake turned tradition upside down, taking the dance world by storm. Now you can watch this modern day classic. Tickets are $15 ($13 for members and students) and may be ordered online or by calling 413 458 0524. Running time is 120 minutes.
The iconic production, perhaps best–known for replacing the traditional female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble, was filmed at Sadler's Wells in 2011. The stellar cast includes the magnificent Richard Winsor as the lead swan/stranger, Dominic North as the prince, and Nina Goldman as the queen. Breathtaking in its drama and intensity, the production has won more than thirty international theatre awards, including three Tonys and an Olivier. Swan Lake has been acclaimed as a landmark achievement on the stage, becoming the longest running ballet in the West End and on Broadway.

Neighborhoods: Oak Park / Northwood
Great atmosphere and some of the best horchata in town, but the show is all about the empanadas, try the Colombiana, the mole or the calabacita. The guava and cream cheese sweet empandas are extraordinary.
nice place friendly staff
Guy Feiri blows it again. – Thought we'd try it after seeing it on Triple D. What total waste! The empenadas were dark brown, The al pastor was blackened and almost tasteless. It was like what we were served was re heated left-overs from the night before. And service non-existant. The waitress took our order and disappeared until the food came out . Which was unfortunate because in the 30 minutes it took the kitchen to re-hash the left-overs we decided we would have liked an appetizer. And when the food came she vanished again so she did not have to hear us tell her that the food was barely warm and the beans were cold. It's obvious that the wait staff and the cooks don't if this place is open next week.
Doesn't get any better than this! – Our family has followed this restaurant from its original location (downtown) to its final location on Broadway, just south of 410. Although, the location has changed the delicious food has not. We have a list of favorite items from the menu but our favorite would have to be fish tacos with poblano sauce, (this sauce can be used on anything on the menu it is delicious). Not only can we enjoy a lovely meal, but our children love it too. There is a small play area in the back that is great for the kids to let loose while we finish up our meal with a glass of wine or mojito.
My favorite restaurant! – I frequent Beto's regularly and have never been disappointed. I've had their empanadas, fish tacos and quesadillas. On my last visit I had the chicken nachos and they were just as delicious as everything else. The atmosphere is charming and the service is fun and friendly. I've met the owners and they too were lovely. Nothing but good to say about my favorite restaurant in SA!
a jewel of a find – Much to my surprise the food was great. We had drinks, chips and salsa for starters. I had Chicken Poblano empanadas. The empanadas were excellent and of course should be. Empanadas is what this place is known for. The food is more like real Mexican food and not the Tex-Mex I usally eat. It is inexpensive and filling. I also had Mango with raspberry sauce empanadas for dessert. This dessert alone is worth going back for . With all this food I was stuffed and almost had to be rolled out of there.
a little concerned – The service was slow. The food mediocre, and the place seemed dirty.
All of that kind of ruined my appetite. I did not finish my food, in fact I barely started.
I have to look at the health department reviews.
Been there, done that... next?! – Tried Beto's today basedon a friend's recommendation. After reading some of the reviews, I was really surprised at how many people think this place is great? Went there with my DH for lunch and, while we don't regret going, we probably won't go again. I had an empanada. I expected it to be a flaky pastry crust but it wasn't so my guess is that it was microwaved. DH had a quesadilla which I tried, and that was OK. The empanadas are the size of a small taco, like one you would get at taco bell for about 79 cents, but these cost about $3.99 ea. For an extra $4 (?!?!) you can make it a meal with some rice (white rice with what seemed like were old <brown> chunks of carrot and old <strange colored> peas and corn, and about 3 bites worth of beans, which were bland. They don't even gie you chips and salsa (what place in this town doesn't?) so we paid $3 for that, and it came with a small bowl of salsa that's not really salsa and some processed cheese dip. I was really surprised to see they had a Zagat rating because it's just OK, nothing even close to great. The atmosphere was real nice and somewhat eclectic, and our service was very good.
Flavorful, Original, Essentially Good Food – I had driven past this place several times before someone I knew actually ate there and told me it was good. I went on my own and was delighted that it is much better than it appears outside. There is a large parking lot behind (and to the right) of the building and also a nice patio for outdoor dining. They are ZAGAT listed (that was a surprise) and they take AMEX.
The only thing I have to say that's negative is that the food is a little overpriced and the portion size didn't satisfy me; I'm not a pig or anything, but I'm used to getting more for my money. Service was GREAT, we sat outside on a breezy day and it was wonderful, even if I hadn't had two of their delicious margaritas.
They seem to be best known for their empanadas which is bread stuffed with your selection from various choices. Each member of my party selected a different one and we shared tastes. They were uniformly good. I still intend to go back to try the other menu items, but for now I can vouch for the empanadas. Definitely try this place. This isn't exactly Tex-Mex; but related. A waitress told me the owners are from Ecuador. Some of the customers are snooty, but the staff is very warm and welcoming.
Food is delicious! But it's time for some good service! – My wife, mother in law and I frequent Beto's sunday afternoons about twice a month. We LOVE the food! Very rarely are we not pleased with what we have. My wife and I especially like the Veggie Nachos. HUGE plate with delicious veggies and a fantastic poblano sauce on top. The empenadas are also amazing especially the chicken poblano. My only complaint is that the staff has really got to get some trainers in there. Like a previous reviewer said, they just aren't doing the job they could and I know for a fact that the management isn't helping the matter. It's time for this restaurant to find a team that can do the food team justice!

The Georgia Bulldogs will be opening the 2011 college football season with a Labor Day weekend night game against the Boise State Broncos. Dawg Sports recalls a similar, and similarly important, game against the Clemson Tigers to kick off the 1982 campaign.
Apparently, someone is unaware that, when the original hedges were removed to accommodate 1996 Olympic soccer, clippings from the original hedges were used to grow the new hedges. After that appalling display of ignorance, additional (and typical) appalling displays of ignorance follow. There's a reason why vineyarddawg hates Florida. Go 'Dawgs!
The Toomer's Corner oaks, an integral part of one of the Auburn Tigers' longstanding college football traditions, were poisoned. A Georgia Bulldogs fan offers his reaction from the opposite side of the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry.
CBS Sportsline's Gregg Doyel has defended the idea of expanding the NCAA tournament field to 96 teams, and his arguments demonstrate why it is vitally important that there never be a playoff in Division I-A college football.
Every Georgia Bulldogs football fan is asking the same questions. Can Joe Cox replace Matthew Stafford? Is he the next D.J. Shockley or the next Joe T.? Dawg Sports reaches back and finds the correct answer in the recesses of Bulldog football history.
When visiting teams claim victory in Sanford Stadium, opposing players and fans sometimes grab a piece of the historic hedges. Dawg Sports takes a look at the history of a practice which all Georgia Bulldogs fans despise.

Las Vegas, NV
Billed as the "Fremont Street Experience," this mostly involves walking the length of downtown Las Vegas's Fremont Street while zipliners zoom overhead and the domed ceiling explodes in psychedelic patterns to the beat of Pat Benatar songs. There are elderly Elvis impersonators the color of Tan Mom, there are middle-aged tourists in cargo shorts drinking tall boys wrapped in paper bags, there are street artists and live bands and random costumed dancers and 99-cent fried Twinkies. There are also a dozen or so awesome bars and restaurants, check out my Downtown Vegas guide for those.

Event Description
A film about the life and legacy of Joseph Smith, founding prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is being shown in the Legacy Theater of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. (This film is also being shown at many Church visitors' centers and historic sites in the United States, Mexico, and New Zealand.)
Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration has been produced under the direction of the First Presidency as part of the Church's commemoration of the 200th anniversary of Joseph Smith's birth.
The film depicts events in the life of Joseph Smith from his early youth in Vermont to his martyrdom in Illinois at age 38. It recounts Joseph's search for truth as a young boy, a search that resulted in divine revelation that set his life on a path of service and sacrifice in restoring the Church of Jesus Christ. Through scenes of his interactions with family and with early Church members and others, viewers will see both the personal and public sides of Joseph's caring nature and prophetic leadership.
Dates and Location

Where does this exhaust fan exhaust to?
I usually shoot for 1/4 of the volume of the room for fan sizing.
i hope someone call provide some advice. my shower stall(glass sliding doors) is just inside entrace of bathroom on right side. the entry area is only 3 feet wide(to left of shower) until you get to sink area and then the bathroom opens up 12 feet wide with additional 8 feet in length. There is a large jacuzzi tub on the left side of bathroom. my problem is when i shower the walls to the left of the shower become saturated with moisture. in addition the ceiling has dark patch about 6 inches beginning where walls meet ceiling. even after walls are dry you can still see the staining from the moisture. when we moved into house i did not see any evidence of moisture issues from showering on walls..we painted the bathroom a year after moving in. the bathroom did not have an exhaust fan when we moved in so i installed one when we painted the bathroom. it is rated at 110cfm and is in the middle of bathoom about a foot after emerging from entry area left of sink. the top of the shower doors have an opening about 8 inches and the top of the shower overhang is about 1.5 lower then the bathroom ceiling.
My first thought is that the fan is pulling the moisture out of shower and causing it to gather and condense in the entry area thinking exhaust fan is too far from shower. i tried several times now showering without exhaust fan on as it was before we moved in thinking that it would just collect on shower ceiling but it stills results in same situation on walls and ceiling. i am thinking of purchasing a new fan with about 300cfm in the inline style having two inputs and putting one directly outside of shower and other where existing fan is located. i will adjust so most of exhaust will be directed towards inlet outside of shower...thanks for any input on this issue

I'm not sure what all that stuff is that you wrote but if the room is 850 cu. feet then I would go with a 200 - 225 CFM ballpark.
Check out this in-line Panasonic...
240 CFM in line Panasonic
Its quiet and moves a bunch of air.
Another consideration is how is air getting into the room?
You are taking it out how does it get in?
I just wanted to make sure you were looking at the Panasonic line...
I like them!
With problems like yours it may be wise to take the Tim Allen approach.
My main concern though is make up air.
With that much leaving the room you need to let air in also.
That may also be part of your problem now.
Try leaving the door open a crack next time you shower.
Well you existing fan is 1/2 the size of what you need so you should see quite an improvement.

One thing to consider, and I think it was mentioned, is that the air you are dumping outside requires makeup air from somewhere - if you don't have a controlled place for it to come from, it will draw through cracks and poorly sealed places all over the house. A large exhaust fan means reconditioning a lot of air you've already paid for to condition, so limiting to what is needed is critical for economy.
Some, but not all, heat recovery ventilators will respond to those barrometric pressure changes and move makeup air into the house without losing all of the energy. To minimize the conditioned air loss, you may want to consider a humidistat on the fan, then it will only run when required, and limit the energy loss.

I bought this strictly because of the pattern so if you like the way it looks in the picture you will like it in person. I don't do a lot of tweezing but for what I am going to use it for they will be good enough.
There's a reason that Tweezerman is the go to tweezer for many people and they have been around since our grandparents age! They are just fantastic. They also have a great sharpening policy and if you send them in, they will sharpen them for free...for life!
First of all, it's the cutest tweezer I've owned, and it's the best tweezers I've owned. It works really well and my eyebrows look amazing. It was worth the $30.
-Happy Gal
These work very nicely and they are so pretty. It is not the very best tweezer I had but they do there job!
Tweezerman makes the best tweezers out there. The slanted tips make all the difference as they are perfect for griping fine hairs. And not only do they work better than other brads, they are cute as well!
These are the best!! I love the tweezerman brand! These get at even the finest and smallest hairs. I really love the print of these as well - makes it very easy to find in my makeup bag.
Always been a good brand to buy tweezers from. Slant makes it easier to grip individual hairs. More precise than a no-slant tweezer brand.
Tweezerman really does know how to make tweezers. These get every last hair and are seriosly the best tweezers I've ever used. And look how cute the leopard print is!
These tweezers are amazing! They get out even the tiniest, stubborn hairs. Plus the leopard print is a great plus!
Loved the way they work!! Fun cheetah print is an added bonus!! Fast delivery and precise tool to get the job done.

Ordained a priest, he became one of the pope's seven deacons, and also served six years in the East as papal representative in Constantinople. He was recalled to become abbot, and at the age of 50 was elected pope by the clergy and people of Rome.
He was direct and firm. He removed unworthy priests from office, forbade taking money for many services, emptied the papal treasury to ransom prisoners of the Lombards and to care for persecuted Jews and the victims of plague and famine. He was very concerned about the conversion of England, sending 40 monks from his own monastery. He is known for his reform of the liturgy, for strengthening respect for doctrine. Whether he was largely responsible for the revision of "Gregorian" chant is disputed.
Gregory lived in a time of perpetual strife with invading Lombards and difficult relations with the East. When Rome itself was under attack, he interviewed the Lombard king.
An Anglican historian has written: "It is impossible to conceive what would have been the confusion, the lawlessness, the chaotic state of the Middle Ages without the medieval papacy; and of the medieval papacy, the real father is Gregory the Great."
His book, Pastoral Care, on the duties and qualities of a bishop, was read for centuries after his death. He described bishops mainly as physicians whose main duties were preaching and the enforcement of discipline. In his own down-to-earth preaching, Gregory was skilled at applying the daily gospel to the needs of his listeners. Called "the Great," Gregory has been given a place with Augustine (August 28), Ambrose (December 7) and Jerome (September 30)as one of the four key doctors of the Western Church.

What part of "presides over" don't YOU understand???
She got it right.
Last edited by Constitutionally Speaking; 10-27-2008 at 02:37 PM.
Its amazing that you guys didnt bring this one up before - as a matter of pride, in as much as your girl knows so much about how the "VP is in charge of the United States Senate."
The woman is a certifiable fucktard, people.
I like how the video poster tries to hide the little "Daily Kos" logo in the upper right.
That being said, LogansDumbassSocialistPapa is a certifiable fucktard.
LP, the Constitution says that the VP is the President of the Senate. As such, it is the VP's job to preside over the Senate.
There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with Palin's response - especially since the answer was directed to a child. Apparently, even THAT went over the libtards heads.
"VP is in charge of the United States Senate."
That is what she said.
LP, a second grader would not understand "presides over"...her answer was clear, concise and what I would also say.
Her job would be to help the President in the Senate she votes in case of a tie, she presides over the Senate, and the job of a VP IS to support and work with the Presidents agenda.
Second grader = six or seven year old.
She did it right. You are way off base on this one.
To a SECOND GRADER. Think about the response, LP, and who she was aiming at. You dont give a politics lesson meant for an adult to a child..they wont understand a word."VP is in charge of the United States Senate."
That is what she said.
A second grader would not understand "preside", they DO understand "in charge". Her reply was appropriate.
It's how we talk to Eyelids..oh wait, he's a first grader...:p

Laying on a rubber raft, floating aimlessly under the hot sun, Logan Reed dreams of a sun-soaked poolside orgy--nine naked men: James West, Buck Philips, Bryan Williams, Aaron Brandt, Adam Wilde, Dan Brewer, Brad Michaels, Hawk McAllister and Jeff Palmer--celebrating the joy of gay sex. They hungrily devour each other like a pack of sex-starved animals, feeding on one another, fighting for cocks to suck, asses to tease, mouths to fuck. The action grows more frenzied as the horny studs move underwater, continuing their hedonistic play; bodies undulating beneath the surface, the action still sizzling, light shimmering on their bodies. An aquatic circus of mermen eagerly sucking and fucking; cocks and asses bobbing in the water; explosions of cum both under water and outside. And for a finale: a chorus line of asses playfully sprayed with super-soakers! Laughing and rough-housing, the group takes revenge by giving each of the two marksmen an enema with their own waterguns!

Members of the North American Travel Journalists voted Vancouver the 1998 Best International Destination.
"This distinction for Vancouver is well-deserved yet somewhat of a surprise given the city was named over places like London and Paris," remarks Dan Schlossberg, president of the association. "But its mix of water and mountain scenery, hospitality, hotels, and attractions all influence its appeal."
