BMW opens up Classic Center to customer cars, establishes dedicated vintage racing division
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Apr 8th, 2010 at 7:39PM
Owners and lovers of classic BMWs have what to be thankful for. The Bavarian automaker estimates that roughly one in ten units it produced through the 1980s are still on the road, accounting for some 600,000 classic cars and another 70,000 motorbikes... that it knows of. In order to service and repair all those vintage vehicles, BMW has expanded its Classic Center and opened it up to the public. Previously known as the Historic Workshop, the classics department has until now been responsible for maintaining the factory's own collection of classics. Now the enlarged division is opening up...

Hi Tiffany,
Where do you paste this code? in the custom code place ? i tried in the advanced css to hie the chat which is on the main page. It hid when i clicked preview but when i click on publish it hid for some moment, but it came back.
I added at the end of all the existing writting in the css avanced, is it the right place ?
Are you wanting the chat to appear in the bottom of the browser window like it is here on Jensocial? You'll need to control that through the Features Layout section of the dash board. Yes, the code I pasted above should go in the Advanced CSS
Yes i want the chat bar to appear like here in the bottom of the browser. And it is doing it. But i don't want the chat himself to appear on the main page. It is taking too much space.
Look at the main page www.consivoir.com
I definetly found the solution.
Thank you
Here is how I would do it. Under member area on MysticMoons, I have groups, forums, blogs, photos,videos and whatever else I offer as subtabs. Under the My Page tab I have members and under sister sites I have links to both my stores and other sites my members may be interested in. Now that frees up a lot of space on my main page as I do not have to use several modules because their subtabs so I can add text boxes, top content, leaderboards ect... Most members login and use the tabs, very rarely do they look at your main page unless you have something there that interests them. Works for my communities.

Multiple people shot near Empire State Building
Updated at 11:16 p.m. ET
(CBS/AP) NEW YORK - A man laid off about a year ago went to his former workplace Friday morning and shot a co-worker in the face, killing him, before a shootout broke out between him and New York police officers near the Empire State Building, injuring nine, the police said.
The gunman was shot and killed by two officers. New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said during a Friday news conference that the people wounded in the shootout suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Some of those injured may have been accidentally shot by the officers, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
"This is a terrible tragedy, and there's no doubt that the situation would have been even more tragic but for some extraordinary acts of heroism," Bloomberg said.
Video: Watch Bloomberg and Kelly brief reporters on the shooting
Kelly identified the gunman as Jeffrey Johnson, who was laid off as a designer of women's accessories from Hazan Import after working there for six years. Kelly also said Johnson was 53 but later corrected himself, saying Johnson was actually 58, CBS station WCBS-TV reports.
Kelly only identified the co-worker as a 41-year-old man. CBS News has confirmed that the victim is Steven Ercolino.
Watch surveillance video released by the NYPD showing the suspected gunman in the shooting, Jeffrey Johnson, being shot by police. (Warning: very graphic footage):
Report: Steven Ercolino was victim in NYC shooting
Ercolino's profile on the business networking site LinkedIn identified him as a vice president of sales at Hazan Import. It said he was a graduate of the State University of New York at Oneonta.
He had recently moved to New Jersey after living for a time in Warwick, just north of New York City, said his eldest brother, Paul Ercolino. He grew up in Nanuet, N.Y.
"He was in the prime of his life," Paul Ercolino said. His brother was a gregarious salesman -- known to nieces and nephews as "Uncle Ducky" because of his nearly blond hair -- who had followed his father into the garment industry, then later worked in women's handbags and accessories.
He never mentioned to the family that he had any problems with a co-worker, Paul Ercolino said.
Hazan Import Corp. imports women's clothing and accessories, according to public records. Calls to its executives weren't immediately returned
Even after he was laid off, Johnson would leave his Upper East Side apartment building each morning in a suit, and often returned about a half hour later after going to get breakfast at McDonald's, his neighbors said.
"He was always alone," said Gisela Casella, who lived a few floors above him. "I always felt bad. I said, `Doesn't he have a girlfriend?' I never saw him with anybody."
Internet records list him as administrator of the website for a business called St. Jolly's Art, which sold iron-on art for R-shirts, including stylized drawings of fighter planes, muscle cars and ships.
Johnson was also part of a community of bird watchers and photographers who document hawks and other wildlife living in Central Park, a few blocks from his home. In an email to another bird watcher, who works at The Associated Press, Johnson wrote tenderly about spending a winter night watching ducks in the park.
"Near midnight by the Harlem Meer I watched a little `flotilla' of Mallards swimming and softly honking ...fifteen degree temp and they were carrying on unfazed. Just remarkable," he wrote.
CBS News senior correspondent John Miller reports that Johnson and the victim had each filed harassment complaints against each other during the past year. It's unclear whether those complaints were filed with police or in civil court. Johnson has no criminal record, police told WCBS-TV.
Wearing a suit and tie and carrying a briefcase, women's accessories designer Jeffrey Johnson walked up to the import company vice president, Steven Ercolino, put a gun to his head and fired five times without saying a word, authorities said.
A witness told investigators that Johnson shot Ercolino once in the head and, after he fell to the sidewalk, stood over him and shot him again. The gunman walked away and calmly turned up 5th Avenue, where he blended in with the crowd, police said.
"Jeffrey just came from behind two cars, pulled out his gun, put it up to Steve's head and shot him," Carol Timan, whose daughter, Irene, was walking to Hazan Imports at the time with Ercolino, told The Associated Press.
With his .45 caliber handgun hidden in black bag, Johnson fled, Kelly said. A construction worker who saw the shooting followed Johnson and alerted two police officers, a detail regularly assigned to patrol city landmarks like the 1,454-foot skyscraper since the 9/11 terror attacks, officials said.
Police released dramatic surveillance video that showed the confrontation lasted only a few seconds. Johnson was walking rapidly down the street trailed by two police officers when he stopped, wheeled around and pulled out a gun.
About a dozen people ran for their lives, including two small children who were just feet away from Johnson. He pointed the gun at the officers, who quickly fired at him.
Johnson dropped his briefcase, fell to his knees and then collapsed on the ground.
The bystanders likely were hit by police officers' stray gunfire, some of it bullets that rebounded off planters in front of the skyscraper and grazed pedestrians.
The two officers fired 16 shots. The surveillance video shows Johnson pointing his weapon at police, but it's likely he did not get a chance to fire, investigators said.
"These officers ... had absolutely no choice," Kelly said. "This individual took a gun out very close to them and perhaps fired at them."
Watch a video below of a witness account of the shooting's aftermath:
Kelly said police may be responsible for some of the injuries because of the limited capacity of the gunman's weapon. Johnson's semi-automatic weapon was equipped to fire at least eight rounds; at least one round was left in the clip, police said. Another loaded magazine was in his briefcase.
Johnson legally bought the gun in Sarasota, Fla., in 1991, but he didn't have a required permit to possess the weapon in New York City, police said.
"New York City, as you know, is the safest big city in the country, and we are on pace to have a record low number of murders this year," Bloomberg said. "But we are not immune to the national problem of gun violence," he said about the shooting, which comes in the wake of mass shootings inside a Colorado movie theater and a Sikh temple in Wisconsin.
"People were yelling 'Get down! Get down!", said Marc Engel, an accountant who was on a bus in the area when he heard the shots. "It took about 15 seconds, a lot of pop, pop, pop, pop, one shot after the other."
Afterward, he saw the sidewalks littered with the wounded, including one person "dripping enough blood to leave a stream."
Some of the victims were reportedly found inside the lobby of the Empire State Building while some were found on the street.
The FBI said that there is "no initial connection to terrorism."
Witnesses described a chaotic scene.
"I was sitting outside, and I heard three shots first and I saw three people running up to Park Avenue way from the Empire State Building," one woman told WCBS-TV. "Then we heard it again and it was like 10 to 15 shots at one time. Then we saw the whole block, like over 50 people running to Park Avenue."
"I was pulling some boxes out of my truck and right in front of my truck I heard about five gunshots," another witness told CBS station WINS-AM. "I turned around to the left and I saw a man lying vertically with blood coming out of his head."
"I just asked one of the folks who was running by me what had happened and they said 'someone was shot,'" Sid Dinsay, a former New York City Office of Emergency Management official, told CBS station WCBS-AM. "Take a few more steps down the block and there was a deceased person on the sidewalk, apparently the victim of gunshots and lifeless and just lying there."
Witness Joseph Cohen told "CBS Evening News that he was yards away. "I never thought in my life I'd actually ever witness an actual gunshot," he said. "But when I started hearing multiple shots i knew at that point I needed to run somewhere and in the direction that I was running was actually towards the scene, as opposed to away from the scene."
Friday's shooting is the third high-profile gun incident of the summer, following the July 20 massacre at a Denver-area movie theater that killed 12 people and injured 58 others, and a mass shooting at a Wisconsin Sikh temple Aug. 5 that left seven people dead, including the gunman with ties to a white supremacist group.

- reply
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- There is some talk regarding the issued/service pistol's trigger. They are issued SIG P226's I believe, and the pistols offer two types of triggers. Double(Heavy) and Single(Light) Action. If what I've heard is correct, the pistols they carry at set to DA(Double Action). This means that every round ***** the hammer and releases it, requiring more muscle tension and a heavier pull, resulting in accurate fire. That's not to say that DA pistols are inaccurate, what it does say is that the NYPD needs to go to the range more often, AND decommission these DA-ONLY pistols. It's safe to assume that with a DA/SA pistol, one where your first shot is DA and your second shot is SA (releases the hammer after being cocked by the slides action), the first shot most likely will not be as accurate as the follow up shots.

- It looks like we are having mass shootings every 10 days or so. Note: mass shootings. Not mass knivings or poisonings. Guns are used every time. Guns are always used, because they kill large numbers of people safely from a distance. Guns need to be controlled. The Supreme Court rulings have to be overturned.

The NRA suggests that if you don't like crazy people buying semi automatic guns and shooting at you, go out and spend thousands of dollars and arm yourself with the latest high powered semi automatic guns and rifles.... along with thousands of rounds of ammo...and bullet resistant clothing, too.
(Your family will understand why it's more important to spend thousands of dollars on weapons, bullets and armor than on food and rent)
Then the next time you have to go to your daughters kindergarten play, or to the theater, or restaurant, or to the heath club, the public pool, or to work....put on your bullet resistant helmet, vest, leggings and boots...load up your 4 or 5 automatic rifles and pistols....string several belts of ammo around your shoulder......and there you go: protection against all those crazy people, terrorists and hate groups who just bought their guns from the local Walmart. - reply

Okay. Let's deconstruct this mess right here. The shooter fired once and walked away. The police confronted him, he pulled his weapon, the POLICE - trained and skilled in handling firearms - shot him and EIGHT OTHER BYSTANDERS.
So please, enlighten us with how much better it would have been if EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THAT STREET HAD HAD A GUN AS WELL.

- Pelley and CBS News open with "...another mass shooting in the U.S..." and then continue to report that the shooter killed the guy who laid him off and then walked away only to be shot and killed by two NYC police officers who in turn shot nine innocent bystanders. It would seem it is the cops who are the ones out of control. Why didn't Pelley report this story as a mass shooting by police? Will the President demand that flags be flown half staff and reprimand out of control police causing 1 death and nine innocent bystanders being shot. It is time to start disarming the real felons (the police) who are causing mass shootings in the U.S.

- This episode is just one of several mass shootings within the last year or so. Did anyone else notice how little attention was given to this incident (as opposed to others)? It's as if we've come to expect it, it's no longer news. We're numb to the violence. How very sad.

That is true. But if you are being confronted by someone wishing to do you harm, it is nice to be able to defend yourself.
The problem seems to be human nature. Always someone committing a violent act.
Hey _7luckyseven,
The "...nice to be able to defend yourself... is not worth the huge cost and blood and fear society is paying.

Hey N3U120,
You have to separate Political Perception from Reality.
The Far-Right, especially the Tea Baggers, hate President Obama whom has signed 19 Tax Cuts. The Far-Right love Republican Ex-President Ronald Reagan whom signed 17 Tax Increases.
Now, can someone explain this logic to me?
Obama is black, Reagan was white it can't get much simpler than that. That is what drive the hate coming from the right wing republiKLAN party.
Hey GOP-R--Con-Men,

Bad Blood
Bad Blood is a short film directed by my friend from Vancouver, Kyle Leydier, and he adapted it from a chapter of the novel Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh.
The film premiered at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. We shot it in Vancouver in 2004, around the time I was there to shoot Neverwas, and it also features my Eighteen co-star Paul Anthony.
Bad Blood is a really dark look at revenge and pain and disease. I like it.
Democratic National Convention
I went to the Democratic National Convention in Boston as a delegate for The Creative Coalition. It was a really fasciniating thing for me, especially being Scottish and not totally au fait with the way American politics operate. We went to the convention center each night and heard the speeches, and the days were filled with talks and meetings with various organisations and politicians.
I had to take part in a really scary event: Art$, Education and the 21st Century Economy--a panel discussion in which I sat between Arianna Huffington and Bill O'Reilly. As you can imagine, Bill O'reilly did what he was there to do and trotted out some really contentious statements. Most peole were used to him, but I had never really watched (or wanted to) his show so I was utterly horrified and at one point, when he suggested that someone on the panel wanted to teach terrorists how to sing (or something equally ridiculous), I told him he was insane.
I still think he is.
The highlight of this week was, of course, hearing Barack Obama speak for the first time. He lit up the room.
After shooting Reefer Madness, I stayed on in Canada to shoot a small role in Eighteen, a film written and directed by Richard Bell, who I'd first met when I was shooting Josie and the Pussycatsin Vancouver in 2000.
Eighteen is Richard's first feature-length movie, and is about a young boy of 18, Pip (played by the wonderful Paul Anthony), who is given for his birthday a tape from his dead grandfather telling him what his grandftaher went through in when he was 18. The film flashes between the present and the trenches of World War Two.
I play Faher Chris, a priest who befriends Pip.
In October of 2004 I was asked to take part in an art installation by Vancouver aerist Fiona Bowie. Slip/Host features a pair of continuous 360 degree panoramic settings. These settings incorporate time-synched video to produce an enveloping dramatic narrative. These parallel installations are set as parallel universes... one cartoon-like, the other an industrial park. I play a different character in each realm: the Gargantuan Head and the Sedentary Manufacturer.
I finally saw the piece in 2007 when it had its premiere at a gallery in Vancouver and I was back there shooting Tin Man. I loved it.
Out on the Edge
I was asked to host Out on the Edge, a special for Comedy Central that was an attempt to showcase a more edgy, queer brand of comedian and performer, and I was really excited to do a bit of stand up comedy again.
Craig Chester worked with me on my material, and I blame him for encouraging me to talk about my foreksin on national television at such length (as it were) again.
Eavesdropping - Julianne Moore
For the last of my talk shows for Oxygen, Eavesdropping with Alan Cumming, I took Juianne Moore to Dumbo in Brooklyn to make chocolate at Jacques Torres' chocolate store.
Five Minutes With the President
I contributed an essay to the publication, If You Had Five Minutes with the President, an original non-partisan collection of 55+ essays by personalities who are members or supporters of The Creative Coalition. The book also features a foreword by Ron Reagan.
Considering the President in question is Bush 2, my essay is not very complimentary. Still it was fun to write. Here it is...
Mr. President: You must forgive me for my audacity in writing this. I am not one of your citizens, although I do reside in your country. But worry not. I am not one of those illegal immigrants who are so vilified at election times in your border states to scare the electorate into voting against any wishy-washy liberals who might actually allow these people in and give them rights or benefits, instead of the much more sensible alternative of letting them work illegally at raising the children and keeping the homes of America, or any of the other low-paid jobs that no sensible American would want to do.
No, be not alarmed. I am a legal resident. I am just an alien. And not one of the new breed of aliens we have all sadly had to become more wary of since the horrible events of 2001. Relax, I am not dark-skinned, though I am European. And I only wear a towel in public at the gym, and if I did have a God (I don't mean to alarm you but I don't think she exists) it wouldn't be a nasty, war-mongering one like Allah or one of those other ones that demand constant kneeling and regular slashing of oneself with chains and the like.
No, no, no. I am an alien of extraordinary ability, which in spite of its rather ominous overtones of espionage and such like really means that I am an actor who was asked to work in your country and liked it and stayed.
Since I have lived here there have been two presidents, and so my understanding of your job, be it naïve and simplistic, is entirely gleaned from their examples.
So here, Mr. President, are a few tips:
You'll have had, no doubt, a family member remove thousands of people from the electoral register to enable your ascension to power, but please don't forget to be publicly outraged when other countries do exactly the same thing. And oh yes, don't ever comment on the matter even when your own people admit that the margin of error involved in this "cleansing" translates into many thousands more votes than your opponent lost by.
Forgive me if I am preaching to the choir here, but remember to start a war without sufficient evidence of any just cause to do so, apart from the fact that you just don't seem to like dark-skinned people (call them "evil folks" when you don't want to get bogged down with specifics, by the way), and tell your public that you have top secret evidence that certain countries with really large fuel supplies are about to launch nuclear bombs, but be careful to turn a blind eye to countries like India and Pakistan when they threaten to do so because of course they don't have much fuel to take. Actually, come to think of it, don't mention nuclear bombs, they're too hard to pronounce. You don't want to look stupid.
What else? Oh yes, make inappropriate jokes whenever you can; encourage your countrymen to believe certain evil folks are in utter cahoots when in fact they don't like each other at all; claim any minor and normal upward fluctuation in the world's economy as proof that all your policies, not just the economic ones, are working great.
I think you'll find it's best to have had a drug problem of some kind in the past, or at least to admit to having had drugs but not having consumed them in the way of most mortal men. Have offspring who are either so ridiculously successful that they can inspire jealous rage, or else drunk yahoos who give stupid Americans a bad name.
If you aren't really charismatic and sexy, with a series of messy public extramarital affairs behind you and willingly lie under oath that a love affair with a young, impressionable woman never happened, then go the other way altogether and cultivate a look that is more prairie dog than horn dog, talk a lot about Texas and if possible—but this might be milking the Jock sympathy vote a little too far—try asphyxiating on a bar snack whilst watching sports alone.
Make sure you either court the gay vote by allying yourself with lots of queer causes and maybe even putting out a rumor that your wife is a lipstick lesbian OR completely alienate them and hopefully ensnare another group of minority voters (they being fascists) by denying gays the same basic rights and benefits as all your other citizens.
Finally, Mr. President— - and by the way, thank you, I know you don't have to listen to anyone, least of all someone like me, for this length of time— never, ever admit you are wrong.
It's always their fault.
Don't ask why, ask how.
Oh, and have the same name as a previous president—even if it's your dad.
Reefer Madness
Reefer Madness is a movie musical based on a musical based on the 1936 propaganda film!
I had seen the original movie a long time ago and didn't remember too much about it (I wonder why?!), but I did remember it being hilarious. I also remeber thinking how alarming it was that people would go to such lengths to demonise and misreprsent something (in this case pot). This is what Dan Studney and Kevin Murphy highlighted so cleverly in their musical - the way we are ruled by fear, and how it is in our governments' interests to keep us in this state.
The film is an absolute hoot and we had a blast making it. It was great to be able to sing again, and also act with such an amazing group of performers: Christian Campbell, Kristen Bell, Ana Gasteyer, Steven Weber, Amy Spanger, Neve Campbell, Bob Torti and John Kassir, and a hilarious director, Andy Fickman.
I play the lecturer who come to the town to warn the parents of the evils of marijuana, but then in the film within a film parts I take on lots of different disguises including President Franklin Roosevelt and Goat Man!!
Reefer Madness premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on 27th January 2005 - my 40th birthday! I know it sounds like a great thing to have a film premiere on your birthday, but actually having an entire audience sing me happy birthday and then having the after-party come to a halt whilst a massive marijuana leaf-shaped cake was wheeled towards me followed by a phalanx of photographers was really very embarassing!
The film was then shown on Showtime, who incidentally supported it from its early incarnation onstage in LA and were really amazing to work with, especially considering they were funding a political satire about a propaganda film about drugs!!
Showbusiness: The Road to Broadway
I co-produced and appear in Showbusiness, which premiered at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival and was released in 2007 by Regency Pictures.
Showbusiness is directed by my friend Dori Berinstein who I previously worked with when she served on the board of The Art Party, and also when she directed me in Eavesdropping with Alan Cumming for the Oxygen network. The film follows a year in the life of Broadway, focusing on the personalities involved in four shows - Caroline or Change, Avenue Q, Wicked and Taboo.

This Week's Grey's Anatomy Guest Star: Washington State Ferry Boats
It's ships ahoy for Grey's Anatomy this week.
The show is always set in the Emerald City, but as our Seattle correspondent tells us, relatively few scenes are actually filmed in Seattle. However, in at least the first two segments of the three-part extravaganza that starts this week, Washington State Ferries will be featured prominently.
As we talked about a few weeks ago, when we obtained pictures of Patrick Dempsey (right) and the cast filming "Walk on Water," the premise is an accident involving the ferries.
Back in September 2005, the crew boarded the Seattle to Bainbridge Island ferry for a session of filming. Interestingly, Grey's Anatomy co-executive producer, Peter Horton, is originally from Bainbridge.
The dramatic episodes airing this month were filmed in early January (we believe). The episodes themselves weren't filmed on the ferries, but ferry pictures were used as backdrops for the series.
Susan Harris, spokeswoman for the ferries, confirms that the shows involve a vessel colliding with a ferry and the ferry slamming into a dock.
"There's trauma, chaos and blood," Harris said.
Sounds great!
The state was initially reluctant to participate in the show, according to the Seattle Times, because it involves medical drama and officials were worried it may seem real to viewers.
"Knowing the risk involved, Washington State Ferries moved very carefully with the filming of the episode," said Mike Anderson, head of the state ferries. "We were concerned that whatever incident the show portrayed as causing the problem not imply negligence on the part of the ferry system."

growing up on bainbridge it is bizarre to see the coleman docks featured - i've had so many disastrous ferry dreams, so strange to see a real "ferry disaster" - but yes, if it wasn't for the relate -bility, this would be a bad er-rip off....

drake - I agree, but it wouldn't be the same if McDreamy said "I have a thing for ferries." especially in light of the Isaiah Washington brou-ha-ha!
February 9th, 2007 4:02 PM
Am I the only one that finds it funny that they're being called 'ferry boats' on the show? In Seattle (and just about anyplace with a ferry system) there just called 'ferries.' Saying 'ferry boat' is like 'yacht boat.'
Maybe it's just me... -

you are absolutely right purple, and very well put. It IS nice that MerDer are so secure with each other they can help those around them. You know we just get greedy like little kids we want more more more

February 6th, 2007 8:50 PM
I agree, purplemerder. I don't think there wil be any further mention of Derek's talk with Meredith's mother or of his impatience with her. Real couples have moments when every thing isn't all lovey dovey. I think they are happy and very much in love. The last episodes, six days, we saw them sleeping together every night and cuddling and kissing and being, well, together. I don't think they will ever be completely apart anymore, but there have to be challenges in order to keep it interesting. I really don't think the Meredith and Derek folks have anything at all to worry about. I do agree though that Derek needs another prominant story line. Maybe his hours were cut back waiting for the twins, but he hasn't had much of a story in recent weeks. I would like to see him examine the friendship with Mark that we keep getting hiints was important to both of them. I would like to see some resolution there.
The next three episodes sound exciting. I am wondering what is up with -
February 6th, 2007 6:57 PM
Well lets think postive merder fans....maybe he was mcscreamy to her because he really didn't want her to risk getting hurt by going into the surgery. maybe that was his way of getting her to stay away so he didn't have to worry about her..you know like last season in the bomb episode how burke told cristina that he could do his job with her in there because he would be too worried about her......i would love more merder time toooo but i think that the writers are telling us in little ways how they are solid now and happy. You know how mer told her mom she was happy.....so i would rather have no big story line than a story line with drama and problems....i just love seeing how being secure and happy with each other is letting them focus on helping others around them...i love that mer is still able to be there for her friends.

Denver, Colorado, is a vibrant place to live for a wide variety of individuals, especially because of its ideal Rocky Mountain location. After hiring a top-notch State to State Moving Company to transport all your household items, you'll be ready to crack out of your shell and hit the town. Here are four events on Memorial Day weekend that can show you what Denver's all about.

State-to-State Moving Companies
It seems like the unseasonably warm temperatures of winter have extended the allergy season across a majority of the country. Since allergens vary by region, you might want to make it a point to do your pollen research and take necessary precautions before hiring a State to State Moving Company. Here are three over-the-counter products that can help alleviate your common allergy symptoms.
Benadryl is a medication that works by specifically targeting your body's level of histamines, relieving moderate to serious symptoms such as hives, swelling, sneezing, itchy eyes and sore throat. Although this over-the-counter medication might be a more suitable treatment for pollen allergies at night, especially because it can make you drowsy, you might find its strength incredibly useful for bee stings or light food allergies.
Since you'll likely be on-the-go at all times during the moving process, there will definitely be moments when you simply can't risk getting drowsy, no matter how bad your symptoms are. In this case, Allegra might be the best option because it's fast acting yet it also works on a 24-hour basis without producing undesirable side effects. This treatment can even help alleviate symptoms from indoor allergens such as mold and spores, which can be helpful when you're getting adjusted to your new home.
Xlear Nasal Spray
Typical saline sprays oftentimes aren't enough to combat outdoor allergies during the peak of the season, which is why you should seriously consider referring to Xlear for results. Rather than simply treating dry or clogged nasal passages with saline, this product also includes ingredients like purified water, xylitol and grapefruit seed extract, providing a hyper-osmotic solution to moisten your inner nose. An added benefit is that this medication is 100 percent natural, which lessens the odds of adverse affects.
When going through the process of hiring a State to State Moving Company, there will almost certainly be a few things you regret leaving behind, and your garden might be one of them. But there are online resources that can help you build an even better plot in your new yard.
Weekend Gardener
If your original garden was already developed when you moved into your previous home, you might not have experience breaking ground on a new plot. In this case, you can refer to WeekendGardener.net, which provides information ranging from "how to" tutorials to garden design ideas. Disease and pest control can also be a big issue if you're not familiar with local plant life, but this useful website can shed some light on the elements that could potentially harm your garden without the proper care.
United States Department of Agriculture
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is a useful tool for anyone interested in horticulture. By skimming over the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, you'll have access to crop information and planting techniques, as well as charts that can show you which vegetables and fruits grow best in your new area during particular months.
Gardener's Supply Company
If all you need are a few simple gardening tools, check out the Gardener's Supply Company website, which offers a wide variety of useful products - from carts to specially-designed shovels. You may even decide that your garden could use a few decorative items - in which case, this crafty retailer provides a wide variety of garden furniture, composting kits, lighting arrangements and landscaping essentials to improve the entire yard.

Last Saturday I had a friend in town from NYC, and wanted to give her a real taste of the Lone Star State. We went over to a friend's house for a good old Texas smoked meat fest. By the time we got to my buddy's house, the preparations were well underway. On the smoker was a nine pound pork shoulder and two birds.
See smoker (a salty veteran on the BBQ circuit):
My buddy cooked the shoulder (aka Boston butt) with mesquite wood between 275 to 300 degrees for close to eight hours. The birds went on for the last three. The night before they went on the smoker, he put his special rub on the meat, and put a bunch of rosemary inside the birds right before smoke-time.
When the meat came off, it smelled heavenly, and was unbelievably tender and moist – in short, delicious. Accompanying this delight was potato salad, cole slaw, plenty of sauce – hot and BBQ, along with sliced pickles, diced onion and plain white bread – all Texas traditions.
Here's the only shot I could get of the bird and butt. The hungry crowd went after it like piranhas, even the New York folks. I only wish the picture conveyed a smell…

No piece of hardware should be moved with a disc spinning inside it, that's just absurd.
However, with their latest hardware update, the 360 has almost reached feature parity with a LAUNCH PS3 (proprietary HDD and "wireless A" aside). That console is such a disaster.

I can't wait for this game! It looks as though it was tailor made for me, and the character creation just adds to the appeal. Day 1 purchase, especially at that price.

Friends group lends helping hand to Wetland Management District
It was three years ago that a group of conservation-minded individuals sat down with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Manager Tom Kerr to discuss ways in which to cooperate with the St. Croix Wetland Management District and help accomplish their goals as set forth by the National Wildlife System.By: Mike Reiter, New Richmond News
It was three years ago that a group of conservation-minded individuals sat down with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Manager Tom Kerr to discuss ways in which to cooperate with the St. Croix Wetland Management District and help accomplish their goals as set forth by the National Wildlife System.
Six months later, Articles of Incorporation were filed and the "Friends of the St. Croix Wetland Management District" (FSCWMD) was formed as a viable 501(c) (3) organization.
The goal of the FSCWMD as stated concisely in their mission statement is "to restore, protect, enhance and expand the land and natural resources managed by the St. Croix Wetland Management District. It is organized for the purpose of supporting, assisting, and promoting the St. Croix Wetlands Management District with interpretive, scientific, historical, recreational and educational activities and services throughout the eight-county district."
While the district encompasses eight counties, the large majority of the Waterfowl Productions Areas (WPAs) managed by the district are located in St. Croix, Polk and Dunn counties. Because of this, these three counties make up the focus area for FSCWMD but care is taken to include the other counties when and where possible with Friends group activities.
From the start, the Friends group set out to establish a "boots on the ground" style organization. Dues are set at a $10 annual fee but a $5 discount is given if a $15 federal duck stamp is purchased along with the membership. Funds generated from the purchase of duck stamps are used to purchase more waterfowl production areas.
Numerous partnerships and projects have been fostered over the short existence of the FSCWMD.
• "Friends and Neighbors Night Out" is an educational event that brings together neighbors and friends to view equipment, participate in nature walks and demonstrations and have any questions they may have answered.
• Each spring volunteers participate in waterfowl pair and brood surveys. Training sessions for waterfowl identification are held prior to the surveys. Data for these surveys are utilized to monitor waterfowl production over time and to document effective management practices. Songbird surveys are also held in local Bird Conservation Areas.
* Partnerships are formed with various conservation clubs to provide funding for the taxidermy of a variety of waterfowl species and other birds which are used as educational tools for wildlife identification. Hunters donate most of the waterfowl to be mounted. Mobile displays are provided to local libraries and other public locations. The exhibits are also available for use by local conservation organizations.
• The high school prairie plug program is a cooperative venture where New Richmond High School and middle school students grow prairie plant plugs in their school greenhouse as part of their agriculture class and FFA programs. The prairie plugs are used to help restore the biological diversity in local oak savanna and native prairie projects. Plugs are planted by the students on their annual High School Service Day.
• The FSCWMD have been the recipient of two National Wild Turkey Federation grants that have been used for oak savannah restoration and "Conservation Day on a WPA" events.
• A grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation provided funding for the writing and printing of a "Birding Auto Tour Guide." This guide highlights area WPAs and public land that provides quality viewing of both local and migratory wildlife.
• The Friends Group co-sponsor the annual "Conservation Day on a WPA" with Boy Scouts of America's Eagle River District and the St. Croix Wetland Management District. This year more than 500 scouts, parents, presenters and organizers were in attendance. Eighty one Scouts took advantage of the special invasive species merit badge being rolled out at the event.
• Numerous educational wildlife seasonal walks and outings are held each year and many public presentations by USF&WS staff and Friends Group members are given. All are open to the public. The Aldo Leopold's "Green Fire" was recently shown at the New Richmond's Gem Theater with narrative provided after the showing.
Recently the Friends of the St. Croix Wetland Management District received the prestigious "Take Pride in America National Volunteer Award for a Non-Profit Organization." Each year, the award winners are selected by a panel of judges from hundreds of qualified nominations representing outstanding examples of stewardship across the country.
According to Assistant Secretary of the Interior Rhea Suh, "through their efforts over the past year, 468 people contributed 4,807 volunteer hours to the St. Croix Wetland Management District. These numbers are only a small measure of the success of the group - the real value is the involvement of over 450 people in the management and understanding of their Waterfowl Production Areas."
If you want to know more about the Friends of the St. Croix Wetland Management District, visit their website at http://fscwmd.org or call 715-246-7784. You won't be disappointed.
Warden Paul's Corner
Safe use of ATVs
Several hunting seasons are currently open in Wisconsin, and many hunters are using all-terrain vehicles to assist them with accessing hunting areas, carrying game out of the field and transporting hunting equipment.
Some of the main complaints received involve ATVs being operated in unauthorized areas on public lands. Hunters need to know if they are on county, state or national forest lands, and they need to contact the appropriate office ahead of time to find out the rules and laws regarding ATV use.
Other important safety and law reminders include:
• Always wear a DOT approved helmet. Hunters are more apt to come across low hanging branches; uneven or steep terrain. Serious injuries and death can occur even at the slowest of speeds.
• Complete an ATV safety course. All riders at least age 12 and born after Dec. 31, 1987 must complete a course prior to operating an ATV. This course may be completed either in a classroom or over the internet.
• Just as with other vehicles, firearms and bows must be fully unloaded and enclosed in a carrying case.
• Remove mud, dirt and any vegetation from your ATV before using it in other areas. ATVs can easily transport invasive plant species or seeds that are harmful to local habitats.
• Do not operate in or around waterways or wetlands. ATVs are only allowed to cross waterways at bridges, roads or legal fords. ATV use in these areas is illegal and causes serious habitat damage that is very costly to repair.
For any questions, call Warden Paul Sickman at 715-684-2914, ext. 120.

Skyrim:Daedric Quests
The Daedric Quests are quests that are completed at the request of one of the Daedric Princes, in reward for which you will receive a Daedric artifact. Sixteen Daedric Artifacts are available in total (note that the Skeleton Key is not considered to be a Daedric Artifact in Skyrim). Daedric Quests are not considered Side Quests.
Most of the Daedric quests also have an associated "Pointer Quest", which is a miscellaneous quest objective you may be given that leads you to the actual Daedric quest. It is not always necessary to obtain the Pointer Quest before starting the main quest, but it is the most likely way that players will find out about the Daedric quest.
Most of the quests can only be removed from your 'to do' journal upon completion. However, a few of the quests can be failed. This is usually achieved by killing the mortal quest giver. For example, upon entering Silus Vesuius' home, you can kill him, resulting in the failure of Pieces of the Past.
[edit] Achievements
Achievements related to daedric quests are:
- Daedric Influence (10 points/Bronze) — Acquire a Daedric Artifact
- Oblivion Walker (30 points/Silver) — Collect 15 Daedric Artifacts
- It is possible to miss this achievement. To receive it, you must not simply complete 15 Daedric Quests, but must also choose the quest ending that gives you the Daedric Artifact.
- Quests which do not simply result in you receiving one artifact are:
- Can be completed without receiving an artifact: A Daedra's Best Friend, Pieces of the Past, The Taste of Death, and Waking Nightmare. See individual quest page for details.
- Never gives an artifact: Darkness Returns (this quest is technically considered to be a Thieves Guild quest rather than a Daedric quest, so the Skeleton Key does not count as one of the Daedric artifacts for this achievement)
- Can give two artifacts: Ill Met By Moonlight (both Savior's Hide and Ring of Hircine count as artifacts, and both can be obtained at the same time)
- Even if you sell, give away, or otherwise lose an artifact after receiving it, you will still receive the achievement. All that matters is whether you ever had possession of the artifact.
- The game tracks the number of Daedric Artifacts and the number of completed Daedric Quests separately. The only statistic visible to the player in-game is the number of "Daedric Quests Completed" (under General Stats). Since the quest statistic is incremented even if you complete a quest without receiving the artifact, it may not reliably indicate your progress towards this achievement.

Secondly, this new Vertigo series by Paul Cornell, Saucer Country, sounds like it'd be interesting. It's about a governor of New Mexico who is abducted by aliens just prior to her announcement that she'll be running for president... or so she thinks. Cornell said that it's kind of like "X-Files meets the West Wing", and I've liked everything he's done so far, so it'll probably be worth a look.
Here's one of the covers,
From the DC Animated Panel,
"As the panel transitioned away from "Batman: Year One," Miereanu had one last surprise for the audience. "We don't have Kevin Conroy as the voice of Batman here; he is the voice in 'Batman: Arkham City' and the voice in 'Justice League: Doom!'" the moderator told the assembled fans. "What the people over there don't realize is, he's sitting with them!" Conroy stood up from his seat in the audience and walked to the stage to a standing ovation from the crowd, a round of applause which grew to a roar as Conroy proclaimed, in his iconic Batman voice, "I am vengeance! I am the night! I am Batman!"
Inspired by the "JLA: Tower of Babel" storyline by Mark Waid and Bryan Hitch, the animated "Justice League: Doom" is directed by Lauren Montgomery and features the late Dwayne McDuffie's final script. Longtime fans of the DC Animated Universe will no doubt recognize a number of voice actors reprising their roles from "Justice League." Alongside Conroy as Batman is Tim Daly as Superman, Susan Eisenberg as Wonder Woman, Carl Lumby as J'onn J'onzz, Michael Rosenbaum as Flash (albiet, the Barry Allen version) and Alexis Denisof as Mirror Master. But the audience went crazy when they heard Nathan Fillion would be playing Green Lantern."
And in the JLA Panel, it seems that Geoff Johns and Gary Frank are going to be writing a Captain Marvel back-up called 'the Curse of Shazam!'. I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I think that he did write a nice slant on Captain Marvel storylines through Billy's relationship with Stargirl, for example, but in his later stuff he seemed to have a fixation with making Mary evil. Even after she'd been fixed in Final Crisis.
Ah, we'll just have to see where it goes. Though if they have Shazam giving the powers to a younger group of kids... that would REALLY make his relationship with the people he mentors kind of skeevy.

breaking news
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (UI Release) - In
a second round tournament game that featured former player vs coach, it
was Anson Dorrance's Tarheels that emerged victorious over Janet
Rayfield's Illini by a score of 9-2.
Illinois got on the board first, but the Tarheels responded with seven
second half goals. The Illini conclude their season with an overall
record of 10-9-4.
"There's no doubt
that tonight the wheels fell off the wagon. I am the one who is tasked
with making sure the wagon is ready so I take responsibility," said
Illinois head coach Janet Rayfield. "We scored
early and soon after we started playing not to lose and there was way
too much time for that. We have some young players who learned some
great lessons tonight. We will move on and look to be back in this spot
better prepared next year. There was great moments
from this season that we will remember forever-tonight just won't be one
of them."
In the first
half, the Illini stunned the Chapel Hill crowd by striking fast and
early. Just 89 seconds into the game, Illinois stripped the Tarheels
from the ball in UNC's defensive third. DiBernardo then
dished to Breece who was sprinting down the left flank. After a couple
of dribbles got her into the box, Breece blasted a low lining shot into
the right corner from 15 yards out. The goal was Breece's fourth on the
However, the tide
turned quickly against the Orange and Blue when North Carolina earned
the equalizer five minutes later off of their lone corner kick of the
period. Summer Green received the corner at
the top of the Illinois box, where she released a shot on goal. Panozzo
made the diving save but the ball deflected a few yards in front of her
where Kelly McFarlane was waiting.
Steph Panozzo
then contributed to the highlight reel in the 14th-minute when she made a
gravity defying save to her left off of a rocket from Crystal Dunn to
keep the score all-squared.
Yet, Crystal Dunn
and the Tarheels found the go-ahead goal in the 37th-minute. UNC's
Alyssa Rich dished a through ball down the middle-left side of the
field. Dunn outran an Illinois defender and beat Panozzo
to the ball in which she poked it to the near post for the 2-1 lead
heading into half-time.
The second period doomed the Illini's season as four goals were scored in the opening 15 minutes.
Niki Read made
sure to get on the scoreboard in her final game. The senior received the
ball inside the North Carolina box off of a flip throw-in from Megan
Pawloski in the 63rd-minute. Read struck the
ball into the far post for her fourth goal on the season and 14th in her
fine career.
UNC added three
more goals in the closing 15 minutes to reach the final score of 9-2.
The Tarheels outshot the Illini 26-5 and kept their streak alive of
advancing to the round of 16 for every year in the
tournament's existence.
Also to note,
leading scorer Vanessa DiBernardo got subbed out in the 29th-minute
after being injured and did not return to the game.
Illinois senior
goalkeeper Steph Panozzo finished with seven saves on the night, putting
her at 111 for the year, which ties Leisha Alcia for the most saves in a
single season.

Plant Identification Activity
To improve students' observational and communication skills
and to help them learn to identify the plants commonly found in the study
Overview of Activity
Students will work in pairs to identify differences and similarities between two plants. On a pieces of paper, each group will list 5 similarities between the two plants and 5 differences. Students should focus their observations on characteristics which describe the species as a whole, rather than a particular plant.
After rotating through 5 stations of plants, we will stop and as a class read the descriptions about each group of plants. The best descriptions will be compiled to make a list that will stay with that plant. The scientific terms used to describe the students' observations will be introduced and discussed.
A slide show will be presented with all of the plants and the
list of identifying characteristics that the class compiled. Each student will
receive the compiled list of descriptions.
Each group will hand in the list of descriptions that they thought was the best to be graded.
One point may be earned for each similarity and difference; partial credit will be given to lesser quality descriptions which are not representative of the species as a whole. For example, comments referring to insect or mechanical damage, mounting differences of the display plant, and things that are not consistently observable with every plant of the species will receive partial credit.

[author: Ellen Avery-Smith]
Chapter 2011-139, Laws of Florida, also amended Section 380.06(19)(c)(2) by extending all development of regional impact (DRI) commencement, phase, buildout and expiration dates for four (4) years, regardless of any previous extension, at the option of the developer. In order to avail itself of the four-year extension, the developer must provide notice of its intent to obtain the extension to the local government that issued the DRI development order by December 31, 2011.
Regardless of any extension of DRI build-out or termination dates pursuant to the 2011 legislation, developers may abandon a DRI which was approved by a local government but never gained market traction or may request that an older DRI in which most of the approved units and square footage have been constructed be deemed essentially built out. Section 380.06(26), Florida Statutes, allows a developer to abandon a DRI and its related development order (DO) obligations, with the permission of the local government that approved the DRI and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (FDEO). In the abandonment order, the developer will be required to satisfy all applicable conditions of the DO and adequately mitigate for the impacts of any development that has occurred or is projected to occur within the DRI boundaries. If no development has occurred, the developer will not be required to contribute any land, funds or public facilities as a condition of the abandonment order.
Developers of older DRIs have the right to have their developments determined essentially built out, pursuant to Section 380.06(15)(g), Florida Statutes. The determination that a DRI is essentially built out can occur in four different ways, including a clearance letter from FDEO and the approval of an essentially built-out agreement among the developer, the local government that approved the DRI and FDEO. In all cases, the developer must, at a minimum, have satisfied all DO obligations triggered by development and must be in compliance with applicable terms of the DO.
