For sale by owner: Baldwin City school buildings
There was a show on HGTV about a small town school that was converted into a hotel. They kept lockers, trophy case,etc. Even used gym for conference room for business meetings. Alums loved to come back and stay in their old school and share stories. There doesn't seem to be an abundance of hotels in Baldwin and with Baker University as well as other events, they might be able to support a hotel.

Lawrence man, among the few ticketed for Fourth of July fireworks, awaits his day in court
Wow! What a guy! Look at the lesson he is teaching his children . What other laws does he ignore because he doesn't like them? His behavior is an example of disregard for others and the law. How about he works to have the ban revoked and until then do like the rest of us do, and respect the law and find an alternative way to celebrate. McManis needs to grow- up and quit acting like a spoiled child.

Editorial: Hardly a ban
While I have mixed feelings about the fireworks ban, I do think we are teaching our children that it is ok to selectively obey the law. Children are pretty straight forward and learn by example. No matter how we feel about the ban, I think we should either obey and law or change it. "Children learn what they live."

Contentious issue of lighted tennis courts near LHS to be discussed again by city commissioners
The lights are not for the children. School district has said numerous times, they do not need lights, The lights are for the Lawrence Tennis Association. They plan to use the courts for tournaments, etc. It is my understanding they will use the courts 4 nights a week, plus tournament play. The LTA is a "club" of sorts, requiring membership, etc. They are looking for a site that is free, as opposed to paying a fee. The school kids do not have night games.

City set to finalize curbside recycling program to begin October 2014; monthly rate $2.81
Does the monthly fee charged to customers cover all costs, including wages to city workers, fuel costs, truck maintenance, cost for containers, etc., or is the city chipping in?

Snow in the street has been treated with sand and salt, Don't really want that on my yard!

Curbside recycling deal in the works
The Hamm's proposal uses city workers to pick up and haul recycleables. The other companies use their own employess, and are less expensive. Who pays the city employees? They surely won't be expected to do all that extra for no pay. Does that extra pay come from Hamms, or is it one more way the Hamms proposal will cost more.

Sound Off: This summer, crews from Sunflower Paving were tearing out and replacing curbing along Six
Sunflower Paving may do a nice job on streets, etc., but certainly are not friendly in the neighborhoods. We live in west Lawrence, and while they were working on our street, workers were parking in yards, going over curbs to do so, and parking on the wrong side of the street, etc. When residents asked them to move, they were not receptive, but did move when PD was called.

Ballmer mentioned a new Xbox for 2010. Whether it will be a new SKU or a Project Natal-equipped device, we have no idea. What we do know, however, that it is too early to speculate. Any such speculation should be taken with with a grain of salt at this time.

Casa Mia Ristorante Review
Fresh, quality ingredients done simply and in generous portions are what make this off-the-beaten-path restaurant, about a 10-minute drive from the falls. A free shuttle service from Niagara Falls hotels whisks guests to this labor of love, owned and operated by the Mollica family. Modern Amalfi Coast–inspired decor brings a seaside terrace indoors, and it all feels miles, not minutes, away from the city's tourist attractions. To start, try a delectable bresaola (air-dried salted beef) served with arugula, Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings, and fragrant truffled dwarf peaches, drizzled with balsamic and truffle oils. Move on to tender pieces of shredded duck confit over linguine in a white-truffle–duck-broth reduction. A sommelier is on hand with suggestions from the 300-plus-label cellar.

Bulgaria Loses BGN 440 M a year to Tax, Social Security Evasion
Bulgaria loses at least BGN 440 M a year to tax evasion and social security evasion and the so-called envelope wages, according to a report of the National Revenue Agency (NRA).
Envelope wages, also known as grey pay, through which employers evade their full social insurance and tax liabilities, are among the most common type of violation.
Another opportunity for evading the full amount of social insurance and tax liabilities is unreported work, with employers declaring that their employees work on a 4-hour schedule when they actually work longer hours.
According to a survey, as cited by money.bg, a total of BGN 8.394 B in taxes on natural persons and social security contributions is collected on an annual basis and 5% of the sum does not enter the state coffers.
However, receipts from VAT and excise duty, at BGN 11.421 B, to which each person contributes by consuming, suggest that 26.5% of them are not backed by taxes or social security contributions.
A number surveys indicate that the business sector in Bulgaria has engaged in massive evasion of various types of payments and turnovers over the past few years.
According to a recent international survey, the share of the grey economy in Bulgaria stands at 31.2% of the GDP, or BGN 25 B.
According to the NRA report, some 54% of employers would commit fraud by not declaring the full amount of salaries of their workers.
According to a survey of Bulgarian think tank Institute for Market Economics, around 25% of the working population in the country is employed at the minimum threshold for the respective job, as a result of which over 550 000 people out of a total of 2.23 M employed persons, receive the lowest payment in the sector.
- » Bulgaria's Ex-FinMin to Enter Supervisory Council of Russian VTB Bank
- » Consortium of 3 Banks to Sell Bulgarian Govt Bonds Worth BGN 3 B
- » EC Puts Italy, France on Economic Watch-List, Praises Spain
- » Bulgarian Municipalities Demand 2-3% of Personal Income Tax
- » Bulgaria's Employee GDP Increases by 2.3% - NSI
- » Bulgaria's Banks Record BGN 72.4M Profit in Jan 2014
The taxes have not been evaded by ordinary Greeks but by the wealthy elite including big business owners, bankers, politicians etc - a similar situation which exists in many other countries. I was under the impression that everyone understood that was the case and didn't need it to be spelled out.............but apparently not. I believe that Bulgaria may still be in the early stages of this and still may have time to sort things out avoiding the mistakes made by others - if the will is there that is
through which employers evade their full social insurance and tax liabilities, are among the most common type of violation. - See more at: http://www.rctopshop.com/esky-rc-helicopters
And if Bulgarians want to know what the results of massive tax evasion will be they need look no further than their neighbour Greece. Unfortunately the rich seem to be the most successful tax evaders and if their country goes down the pan, they have the money to enjoy their money elsewhere. Unfortunately that is not always the case for ordinary people

well I know the vinegar & honey with and without garlic helps for sore throats and cough, and a friend of mine shared that cinnamon & honey is a cure all boost when mixed together. I have everything but the lemons, maybe I'll pick some up later and give it a try . Thanks for sharing, I find all the little natural health tips very interesting. 8]

I have had a number of barbecues of various descriptions, mostly cheap tin things bought from petrol station forecourts. They were relatively successful albeit that I never mastered the art of igniting them properly. Then, while on a trip to America, I invested in a Weber Kettle. I don't know what they cost over here but a couple of years ago it cost me around $30, probably half of what it would cost here!! No matter, I would recommend the investment to anyone. First, and foremost, it is very robust. You don't stand there worrying that the whole thing will topple over at any moment. The grill has to be assembled but it really is child's play ...

Previously I had a nasty cheap coal BBQ from homebase. When you were cooking food the handle on the back would slowly melt, not much of a BBQ. The way I see it, you pay for what you get. A friend from America bought me a BBQ, on the plane. Luckily he was in upperclass so they didn't care to much about the stupid size of his hand-luggage. They go for about £100 in the UK, I presume he got it cheaper in the US. First impressions, the Weber Round Kettle BBQ is sturdy, easy to put together. Two wheels allow for easy moving. The BBQ comes with an outdoor cover to keep the ol'British weather at bay. The surface area of the ... Read the complete review

We have two barbecues at home, a smaller Weber and then a larger one. The larger one must be going back about fifteen years at least though. I remember my dad buying it from a garden centre and the whole family being in awe at how huge it was. It was rather like a Dalek with legs. Our Weber was red though, you can buy them in many different colours, though thinking back, red was a little bit camp...what was my dad thinking? The barbecue is quite a big beasty and stands at around four or feet in height, so if you're a very short person you might struggle to use it. Likewise, if you are of Gandolf statue, you will need to arch your back to use it. The look of it ... Read the complete review

Having never previously owned my own barbeque I wasnt sure what to expect from the Weber. I can though recommend this model. The barbeque comes in pieces so will need to be put together, this didnt take too long though bits were fiddly, it took about 30-40mins overall. The barbeque comes with wheels on one side meaning it can be easily moved around and it helps that it isnt too heavy, but the negative side of this is if you try to move it over bumpy ground or if you unbalance it slightly the top will fall off quite easily. The tray which hangs underneath to catch the grease and any ash that falls through isnt securely fastened, and this will fall out as well ... Read the complete review

We bought this BBQ after the plates on our gas BBQ had started to rust. We decided that although the gas BBQ offered convenience it was huge and really didn't give the true BBQ taste that I enjoyed. We had a look at various different options including store brands and others and decided that the Weber offered a much better quality product. It was more expensive but you could really tell the quality. This size is big enough for a family of four plus a few guests. It's great that you can hang the lid from the side when you take it off. We've definitely had the best tasting chicken as a result of this BBQ. It's easy to clean and remove the ashes. It doesn't ... Read the complete review

Four-Links – mystery radial racer, jumpin' Jeep cutaway, rally Mitsubishi at Geneva, Spohn Maybach
* Axis of Oversteer came across this radial-engined racer at Monaco, but doesn't seem to know anything about it. If you can identify it, let them (and us) know.
* Another mystery of sorts. Off Road Action would like to know the origin of this cutaway drawing of the WWII-era Willys Jeep.
* Among the glitzy new cars at the Geneva Auto Show this past week was this 1974 Mitsubishi Lancer 1600GSR that Ronan from Ran When Parked spotted.
* Spohn produced some rather off-the-wall coachbuilt customs after the war, but it also was capable of stunning beauty, as this Spohn-bodied Maybach Zeppelin that The Old Motor recently profiled shows.

Volkswagen's Scirocco: Moving forward by turning things backward
1981 Volkswagen Scirocco. Images courtesy ProductionCars.com.
When Volkswagen introduced its water-cooled product line in the early 1970s, the conservative automaker stepped a bit outside its comfort zone with a sexy Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed coupe named Scirocco, after a desert wind (correctly spelled "sirocco"). From the start, Volkswagen faced an uphill battle in trying to convince American buyers that a front-wheel-drive car with modest four-cylinder power could be considered a sports car, and it relied upon some creative advertising to get the message across.
Early Scirocco ads touted the car's success in Trans-Am's under-2.0-liter class, where a race-prepped Scirocco took the 1976 championship. While this competition version was still front-wheel drive, its engine was tuned to produce an impressive 170 horsepower (up from the production version's 70 horsepower), delivering a 150 MPH top speed. As the years progressed, however, Volkswagen de-emphasized racing and took a new approach towards counseling prospective buyers.
For this 1981 ad, Volkswagen took the Scirocco's primary liability, front-wheel drive, and spun it as an asset. Emphasizing the added cabin room that the FWD layout offered, the ad also mentions that the setup gives "exceptional directional control," thanks to the added traction of additional weight over the front wheels. With 60 percent of the car's weight in the nose, the Scirocco's center of gravity also shifted forward to the front third of the car, which, according to Volkswagen, helped to minimize cross wind deflection.
While added weight over the drive wheels can occasionally be a good thing, it also tends to produce heavy understeer when a car is pushed to its handling limit. For sports cars, the ideal weight balance has traditionally been 50 percent front and 50 percent rear, with the rear wheels providing forward motion and the front wheels providing directional control. There have been exceptions to this rule (such as the Mini Cooper S), but automakers building a driver's car from the ground up still strive to keep weight evenly distributed from front to rear. Those working with an existing platform, such as Volkswagen with the Scirocco, must work around the limitations presented.
Limitations aside, the Scirocco proved to be a popular car for Volkswagen, and the model soldiered on in Volkswagen's product line until 1988. In 1990, it was replaced by the Corrado, a more capable and more luxurious front-wheel-drive coupe that carried similar lines, but the Corrado failed to find the same audience that the Scirocco enjoyed, and was dropped following the 1994 model year.
Eugene, Oregon, 1979
What drew the attention of the photographer from high up in the University of Oregon's Prince Lucien Campbell Hall along Eugene's Kincaid Street that day in 1979, we don't know. Perhaps to illustrate the parking conditions on a college campus, always a bone of contention. Perhaps it was undergraduate's idea of art, given the severe angle. Or perhaps it was just to use up a roll of film. Whatever the case, the resulting photographs, which we came across on the UO Libraries Digital Collections captures a fine slice of college rides. What do you see here?
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata
First generation Miatas used to be a dime a dozen, but their low cost coupled with their popularity as race cars means the population of clean drivers has been nearly depleted. This 1990 Mazda Miata for sale on Hemmings.com appears to be a rare find. It's seen about 30,000 miles roll beneath its stock wheels, and underneath the hood the only things we can spot that aren't factory-issue are the spark plug leads. We'd dig a bit deeper to verify that the car is as it appears, but the advertised price and the car's apparent condition mean it won't be on the market long. If you're looking for a car that returns joy to driving and won't break the bank, this one is certainly worth investigating. From the seller's description:
We are pleased to offer this 1990 Mazda Miata Convertible for purchase. Also known as the MX-5 (short for Mazda Experiment project #5), the idea was to fill a void that used to be dominated by small fun to drive British & Italian roadsters. The Miata proved incredibly fun to drive with a nearly perfect weight balance, curb weight of just over 2,000lbs, independent double wishbone suspension on all four wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, and anti-roll bars at the front & rear. The 1.6L Inline 4 cylinder engine (coded B6ZE) was specifically designed for the Miata featuring a lightened crankshaft, flywheel, and aluminum sump with cooling fins.
To go along with the great design to make an awesome handling vehicle, this Miata comes with a smooth shifting 5-speed manual transmission. The shifter has a very short, easy throw that allows for a very comfortable drive. The First generation Miata has a great style especially at night with the pop-up headlights. This is a 3-owner car with barely over 30,000 miles on it. It's always been stored in the winter, and very well maintained. It's an all original survivor. Please call or email for more details!

Have cars really grown more expensive since 1965?
1965 Ford Mustang, as shown at the 1964 World's Fair. Photo courtesy Ford Motor Company.
A dollar, it seems, just doesn't buy what it used to, and nowhere is this more evident than when it comes to shopping for a new car. While many of us reminisce about the "good old days" of affordable performance cars and low-cost gasoline, were cars (and their care and feeding) really less expensive then, or has time merely clouded our judgement?
To answer that particular question, I put together numbers comparing the price of a base V-8 Ford Mustang coupe, a base Chevrolet Corvette coupe and a base Porsche 911 coupe, examining 1965, 1985, 2005 and 2013 model years to get a good spread without overwhelming us in data. First, I converted the cars' historic prices to current dollars (with the help of MeasuringWorth.com), to serve as a benchmark and to help keep things in perspective.
Next came a bit more research. Using data on the average wage of a production worker (again from MeasuringWorth.com), I calculated the hours of work required to buy each of the cars above, assuming (unrealistically, of course) no other household expenses. I also researched the average cost of gas for the years cited (from the U.S. Department of Energy), and calculated how long one would need to work to pump 10 gallons in the tank. The results of my research were not as consistent as one might think.
In 1965, the sticker price of a new V-8 powered Ford Mustang coupe was $2,734.00 (the equivalent of $19,900 today), and the average production worker made $3.00 per hour; to purchase a new Mustang coupe with a V-8 engine, therefore, required 911 hours of work, or about 23 weeks. By 1985, the cost of an eight-cylinder Mustang had risen to $9,885.00 (today's $21,100), while production wages had risen to $12.50 per hour, meaning that one needed to toil for just 791 hours (120 hours less than in 1965) to buy one. In 2005, the scales tipped in the opposite direction: the V-8 Mustang was priced at $25,815 (today's $30,300), and a production worker made $23.92 per hour, requiring 1,079 hours of work to buy the car. The picture darkens a bit further in 2013, where the $31,545 Mustang requires a worker earning $27.15 per hour to put in 1,162 hours in order to pay the Ford off.
1965 Corvette convertible. Photo courtesy GM Media Archives.
A 1965 Chevrolet Corvette carried a list price of $4,233 ($30,800 today), requiring a worker earning the wages listed above to put in 1,411 hours of work, or about 35 weeks. In 1985, with the Corvette priced at $24,873 ($53,100 today), a hefty 1,990 hours of work were required, but later years saw a bit of good news. A 2005 Corvette, priced at $44,245 ($52,000 today), required just 1,850 hours of work to own, and a 2013 Corvette (priced at $50,595) took a relatively comparable 1,864 hours to pay off.
In 1965, a Porsche 911 stickered for $6,370 (today's $46,300), requiring the same blue collar worker (not exactly the Porsche's demographic) to work for 2,123 hours, a little more than an entire year, not counting vacations. By 1985, the price had jumped to $31,950 (today's $68,200), requiring 2,556 hours of work to own, and in 2005 the price of $69,300 (today's $81,500) meant the same line worker needed to put in 2,897 hours. Last year, the numbers climbed further, with the $85,250 911 requiring 3,140 hours of effort.

As for gas, our fictitious employee needed to work one hour in 1965 to pay for ten gallons of gas, priced at $0.30 per gallon. In 1985, with gas priced at $1.13, 0.90 hours (or, if you'd prefer, 54 minutes) of labor were required to buy 10 gallons, but this figure would climb again for 2005. Then, with gas at $2.30 per gallon, 0.96 hours (56 minutes) were needed for the partial fill-up, but the biggest jump came between 2005 and 2013. Today, 1.27 hours (just over 76 minutes) are needed to put 10 gallons of gasoline in the tank, making the ritual of a Saturday night cruise noticeably more expensive.
That's quite a bit of data to throw out there, but there are some simple takeaways. Mustang fans were better off in 1985 (from a cost perspective, anyway), as the Ford was less expensive to purchase and fuel than it was in 1965. For Corvette fans, 1985 was an expensive year, but the cost to buy a Corvette coupe over the past eight years really hasn't changed significantly (the cost to fuel it, however, has gone nowhere but up). As for the Porsche 911, each year of the study has seen increased cost, but as the only foreign car examined, exchange rates likely account for some of this rise.
That said, there are extenuating circumstances to factor into the equation as well. In 1985, the Fox platform Mustang was already six years old, and sales were falling to the point where Ford gave serious consideration to killing the model off altogether, or replacing it with a front-wheel-drive model that would eventually become the Ford Probe. Mustang prices were low in 1985 because Ford was doing all it could to push cars out the door; in contrast, 2005 was the year that the retro-styled Mustang debuted, while 2013 was just two years after the launch of the brand's 5.0-liter "Coyote" V-8 engine, and both factors increased the Mustang's appeal (and hence, its price). Similarly, the Corvette pricing shown is relatively consistent as 1985 represented just the second year for the fourth-generation car (a major redesign), while 2005 represented the first model year for the sixth generation. Even final model cars can occasionally raise pricing, as seen with the 2013 Corvette; with a new model due in showrooms, 2013 represented the last opportunity for Corvette buyers to purchase a C6 model. As for the Porsche, model differences aside, status has always factored into 911 sales and marketing. It is expensive because it can be expensive, and Porsche would gain nothing by producing a down-market 911 (similar to the concept behind the original Porsche 912).
Another thing not factored in this research is the complexity of modern automobiles. Each generation of car above brought with it added complexity in the form of more computerization, more required safety systems, and (in some cases) added emissions regulations. The days of the price-adjusted new $19,900 Mustang V-8 have come and gone, and the same can be said of the $30,800 Corvette and the $46,300 Porsche 911. Those shopping for new examples will have to face that pricing reality, which is just one reason why the Hemmings used car classifieds are so appealing to the rest of us.

Happy 85th birthday, Carlsson pa taket!
Grattis 85-arsdag to Erik Carlsson, Swedish rally legend, world-famous Saab brand ambassador and Trollhattan's most famous son!
It was 60 years ago, in 1954, when Erik received his first Saab works rally car, a two-cylinder 92; his first of many victories came in the Midnight Sun Rally of 1956, driving a three-cylinder 93. His string of victories in the 1960s – including 1960, 1961 and 1962 RAC Rally wins and 1962 and 1963 Rallye Monte Carlo triumphs – put the little Swedish automaker on the map.
And his famous nickname, Carlsson på taket (Carlsson on the roof)? It came from a children's book, and referenced his famous driving exuberance that sometimes resulted in the little cars turning turtle. This was humorously referenced in a soft drink advertisement from the late 1960s.
Even after retiring from competition in the 1970s, Erik continued to work with Saab, helping test each new model as it was in development, and attending shows and press reveals to share stories of the automaker's racing heritage. Saab Cars acknowledged his contributions through three special edition models bearing his name for the British market in the 900, 9000 and 9-3 series.
Erik continues to attend Saab club events, making time to speak with and sign autographs for everyone who is excited to meet this living legend. To learn more about his accomplishments and see rare and wonderful photos, pick up the excellent title, Mr Saab. We at Hemmings would like to join the world in wishing him many happy returns – Ha en bra dag!
"I think it could've been the best selling car in the world"
Or so goes the opinion of Martin Wainwright, an author who has written about the Morris Minor, the cheery little British car that sold more than a million copies, the vast majority of them in the United Kingdom. There's certainly no shortage of enthusiasm for the the dead-simple and stone-cheap economy car over there, as we can see from Morris – A Minor Documentary, recently released by MGL Media. Could they have dominated the market over here the way the Volkswagen Beetle did?
Also, note the Morris Minor Owners Club's treatment of their younger members, on particular display in this documentary, a good way to encourage the growth and continuation of the hobby.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1973 BMW 2000Tii Touring
While this 1973 BMW 2000Tii Touring for sale on Hemmings.com looks to be in remarkable shape, wears an eye-blistering shade of Inka Orange, and is a bodystyle rarely seen here in the United States (and thus much in demand), what really drew us to it was the great photography, which can more often than not make or break a sale. From the seller's description:
Excellent condition, well documented and sorted. (copy of original Dutch documents, USA title & Customs release form).
3 door hatchback coupe with original interior and new carpet kit. Manual 5 speed gearbox. 0 – 60 mph in 9.2 seconds. 4 – cylinder, 4 stroke inline, water cooled, overhead crankshaft inclined overhead valves in inverted V arrangement with 3 hemispherical swirl-action combustion chambers, crankshaft with 5 main bearings and 8 counter weights 1,990-cc Fuel injection pump: Kugelfischer PL 04 centrifugal advance.
This classic 1973 Inka Orange BMW Touring 2000 Tii series comes straight from the Netherlands. A wonderful example of why BMW is an established sports sedan. The "New class" as it became known because of the drastic changes in design establish a company that in the '50s was going through a financial crisis. This beautiful BMW is in great conditions and was never intended for the U.S market, therefore it was never officially imported to the USA.

Prelude to a sweep: Ford's effort at the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans
With Carroll Shelby heading up Ford's efforts for the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans, an entire fleet of Ford-powered cars descended on the French countryside that year. Of the 51 total entrants, 11 were GT40s – both Mk I and Mk II variants – or Cobra Daytonas. One of the latter took the pole and that year's fastest lap time with Phil Hill at the wheel, but the GT40s all overheated and dropped out, and of the five Cobra Daytonas in the race, only one (CSX2299, which came in eighth overall) finished the race.
Through it all, photographer Dave Friedman was there, capturing not only Ford and Shelby's effort to win that year's race, but plenty of other action as well. Take, for instance, the above selection from his photos from the race depicting a Ferrari 365 P2 (No. 18, finished seventh overall), a Ferrari 250 LM (No. 27 – finished sixth overall), the aforementioned Shelby Daytona CSX2299 (No. 11), a Ferrari 330 P2 (No. 20 – DNF), the Ferrari 250 LM that won that year's race (No. 21), and a Renaul Alpine A110 GT4 (No. 55 – DNF).
And this is just a small slice of photos from that race and from several others out of Friedman's collection that The Henry Ford has been uploading to Flickr to share with us.
Now, for footage of that 250 LM winning the race:

A 12oz serving at the brewpub in Selinsgrove, PA.
A: The dunkelweizen has a deep muddy brown color with some dark orange hints. The head is close to 1 finger in size.
S: The aroma is a roasted, burnt wheat toast. The wheat is evident but some estery banana notes are not.
T: The weizen has a firm taste that fits well in the style. The wheat flavor is soft and chewy, adding a slight edge to the malt body. The darker malts add a pleasing chocolatey element. The weizen element really comes through in the taste, showing off a clove body that goes nicely with the darker malts.
M: Weizenbock, in general, are very easy to drink and this is no exception. The malts and esters meld together nicely, creating a very easy-to-drink ale.
D: The nose comes across as thin but the flavor is pleasing. I'd gladly drink this again when we return to Selin's Grove Brewing.

A dark muddy brown colour with a small tan head and trapped carbonation. The head fades fast and reveals some light red highlights/edges. The aromas are spicy and fruity with some definate German yeast aromas in the mix as well. Phenols are all-over the place, and this brew could probably fool the most dedicated Franziskaner fan in a blind side-by-side tasting. The taste is wheaty, spicy, and fruity with some banana notes, and clove/vanilla notes. The finish is smooth and complex and the mouthfeel is creamy and to style. Drinkability is awesome as well. Another champion.

2014 Oscar Winners!
The 2014 Oscar winners were announced Sunday, March 2 during the awards ceremony, hosted by celebrated comedienne Ellen DeGeneres and broadcast live by ABC.
The 2014 Oscar winners were announced Sunday, March 2 during the awards ceremony, hosted by celebrated comedienne Ellen DeGeneres and broadcast live by ABC.
Today we celebrate the March 2, 1984 release of one of history's most acclaimed documentaries … nay, "rockumentaries," 'This is Spinal Tap,' which for the first time told the amazing story of one of England's most powerful, exuberant, and punctual rock bands: Spinal Tap.
This weekend saw a brutal showdown between Liam Neeson, the current god of action cinema, and Jesus Christ, the current god of millions of human beings. Since the box office is a "two may enter, but only one may leave" type showdown, the victory ultimately went to Mr. Neeson and 'Non-Stop,' which edged out the son of God and his movie, uh, 'Son of God' to win the weekend.
While we're all gearing up for the 2014 Academy Awards, there's a different sort of long-standing awards tradition that took place over the weekend: the Razzie Awards, which honors the best of the worst in film in each year. And this year M. Night Shyamalan and Will Smith's 'After Earth' and the celeb-heavy ensemble anthology comedy 'Movie 43' took home the most prizes with three awards each.
This past Sunday's 'Walking Dead' installment "Claimed" put Rick through the ringer with a home invasion, while Carl and Michonne traded secrets, but what will this Sunday's "Still" reveal about Daryl and Beth's post-prison adventures that we hadn't learned from "Inmates?" See for yourself in the latest photos and clip from 'The Walking Dead' if either Daryl or Beth will make it through the week!
In 'Sin City 2,' titled 'A Dame to Kill For,' Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez bring back their black-and-white, neo-noir world of corruption, shootouts and one sexy Jessica Alba. The dancing seductress still has it goin' on as three new photos from the film have emerged online, featuring both returning and new cast members.

5 Creative Ideas for Wedding Welcome Bags
Greet out-of-town guests with goodies that will make your wedding weekend all the more memorable. By Brigitt Hauck
Cheer on the Home Team
For the love of the game, indulge avid sports fans with a fun wedding welcome idea. Decorate a plain paper bag to look like a ball (all you need is a white paper bag and red stickers), and fill it with a few ballpark snacks (peanuts, pretzels, Cracker Jacks), personalized water bottles, and a DIY monogrammed pennant. Toss in cheap tickets (bleacher seats will do) for a game to keep guests entertained with activities all weekend long.

Infant and child mortality are important indicators of the level of development of a society, but are usually collected by governmental agencies on a region wide scale, with little local stratification. In order to formulate appropriate local policies for intervention, it is important to know the patterns of morbidity and mortality in children in the local setting.
This retrospective study collected and analyzed data on infant mortality for the period 1995 to 2003 in an urban slum area in Vellore, southern India from government health records maintained at the urban health clinic.
The infant mortality rate over this period was 37.9 per 1000 live births. Over half (54.3%) of the deaths occurred in the neonatal period. Neonatal deaths were mainly due to perinatal asphyxia (31.9%), pre-maturity (16.8%) and aspiration pneumonia or acute respiratory distress (16.8%), while infant deaths occurring after the first mth of life were mainly due to diarrheal disease (43%) and respiratory infections (21%).
These results emphasize the need to improved antenatal and perinatal care to improve survival in the neonatal period. The strikingly high death rate due to diarrheal illness highlights the requirements for better sanitation and water quality.

Lords of the Fallen will let players switch between three classes
Fans awaiting CI Games Studio's upcoming dark RPG Lords of the Fallen — touted as the Euro Dark Souls — got their first glimpse of the title's protagonist during this week's E3.
The main character, Harkyn, is being described as the single character capable of ending a battle believers of a fallen god and those who abandoned him.
"Harkyn is not your ordinary hero. Our team is committed to creating a distinct character and a gameplay experience unique to every player, as well as a deep, secretive history that players will be rewarded for upon discovering," said executive producer Tomasz Gop, known best for his work on The Witcher franchise.
Users can take on the role of a cleric, rogue or warrior class; however, they can later switch between classes after adopting new class-specific armor. Classes each have special moves they can unleash based on action points.
According to Gop, players will be encouraged to die throughout their playthrough. "Death is how you learn in the game," he said, "you are not punished for it."
Lords of the Fallen is slated to launch in 2014 for Windows PC and next generation consoles.

Events Planned to Honor Zach Guillot
We've just learned that Zach Guillot lost his battle with acute myeloid leukemia on Feb. 7. The former student at the Temple Emanu-El Early Childhood Education Center, the da Vinci School, and Parish Episcopal School has been mentioned on this blog multiple times, most notably because of the phone call he received from his hero, Batman (aka Christian Bale).
To honor Zach's life and legacy, Parish Episcopal School and Delete Blood Cancer DKMS will register bone-marrow donors from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday at the Midway Campus. The goal will be to register 1,460 people — one for each day that Zach battled leukemia.
Parish's Midway Campus will be also be the site of a Carter Blood Care blood drive from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on March 4. That will be followed by a prayer service at 6:30 p.m. in Godwin Chapel.

Staubach Clan's Loyalties Divided in House Race
Morgan Meyer is one of three Republicans who want to represent Texas House District 108. The treasurer of his campaign is Jeff Staubach.
One of Meyer's competitors is Chart Westcott. The list of supporters on his website includes Staubach's parents, Roger and Marianne Staubach. (The honorary chair of Westcott's campaign is the Cowboys' other legendary quarterback, Troy Aikman.)
I thought it was odd that Roger would support one candidate, while his son worked on behalf of another. I called Roger's office to ask about this. After his assistant and I played a prolonged game of phone tag, she passed on this response: "I have given money to both campaigns."
Well, the finance reports filed with the Texas Ethics Commission show that Marianne donated $2,000 to Meyer on Dec. 5, but I could find no donations to Meyer in Roger's name. But Captain America did give $2,000 to Westcott on May 17 — more than five months before Westcott officially announced his bid for the seat, and a month and a half before Jeff was appointed treasurer of Meyer's campaign.
I know, I know — a man's money is his wife's money, which is her husband's money. But City Councilwoman Jennifer Staubach Gates, one of Roger and Marianne's four daughters, told me she's staying out of this campaign, even though her husband, John, donated $1,000 to Meyer on Dec. 16.
John appears on Meyer's list of endorsements — as do Marianne and, of course, Jeff, who donated $2,500 to the campaign on Aug. 29. Also listed there is another one of Jeff's sisters, Stephanie Phillips, and her husband, Todd — who gave $2,500 to Meyer on Aug. 8 as well as $1,671.98 worth of in-kind donations on Nov. 21.
What does all this mean? I can't say for sure. But I do know one thing — no member of the Staubach clan is supporting the third Republican in the race, Court Alley.

Winston School Announces New Leader
I must have missed the news that Polly Peterson has announced her resignation as head of the Winston School. But she apparently shared that development last October, according to a statement I just received from Winston. Said statement reveals that Rebbie Evans has been appointed the Pamela K. Murfin Head of School, because Peterson is moving on to the Chase Collegiate School this summer.
Evans has been at Winston since 1981. She started out as a teacher, and her current position is assistant head of school.
"Ms. Evans is in a unique position to understand the past, know the present and to direct the future of the Winston School," board chair Melissa Stewart said. "We are particularly thrilled that the outcome of the efforts of the Transition Committee is that 'one of our own,' a treasured member of the Winston School community for 33 years, is the best candidate for this position."

St. Mark's 8th-Graders Go Undefeated on Pitch
Congratulations to the eighth-grade soccer team at St. Mark's, which recently completed its season with a 14-0 record. The Lions' coach, Preston Hollow resident Brad Namdar, says they scored 78 goals while giving up only 16. He also reports that 12 players put the ball in the net and 15 of them recorded assists. Pretty impressive stuff, for sure.

Neighbors Feel Stifled by City Hall Bureaucracy
George and Jennifer Hanson were opposed to a plan to build 18 homes on land behind their house. And when the Preston Hollow couple went to City Hall to make their case, they felt like they were prepared. They showed up several minutes before the City Plan Commission was scheduled to begin its public hearings on the afternoon of Jan. 9, and they brought some neighbors with them as a show of force.
What the Hansons didn't know is that the commission had been briefed on the proposal that morning, in a meeting that was open to the public but not especially publicized. They also didn't know that a consultant representing the developer was working with a city employee on modifying the proposal between the briefing and the hearing. And the Hansons certainly didn't know that speaking to the commission first would preclude them from rebutting any statements made by the consultant.
"The process is greatly stacked in favor of developers," George Hanson said.

Greenhill Students to Stage 'Avenue Q'
I've never seen Avenue Q, the Broadway musical that's been described as "Sesame Street for adults," but I've heard a lot about it. I know it features songs such as "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" and "I'm Not Wearing Underwear Today," so you can imagine my surprise when I saw that the show was going to be performed this week by Greenhill students.
Not so fast. Greenhill is staging a modified version called Avenue Q/School Edition.
Michael Manes, head of fine arts at Greenhill, said the school version of the show does not include some of the original's songs. Other songs' lyrics have been modified for teenage performers and audiences.
"It still addresses a lot of issues," Manes said. "But it just handles them in a different way."
When Synthia Rogers, the director of upper-school theater, brought the script to him, Manes read it cover to cover before signing off on the production.
"They did a good job of modifying things to make it PG-13," he said.
But Manes said Greenhill has a history of staging "edgy" shows, including The Laramie Project."We have a diverse population; we embrace diversity," he said. "And this musical ticks a lot of those boxes."
Rogers, who has taught theater at Greenhill for 21 years, said this is the first time she's directed a puppet-based show there. She brought in Michael Robinson, artistic director of the Dallas Puppet Theater, as a consultant. He created the puppets for Theatre Three's production of Avenue Q, and those very puppets are the ones being used at Greenhill.
"We just try to keep the kids current, as this is a college-preparatory school," Rogers said. "Many of them had seen the show, either here or in New York, and they were very excited about it. Of course, we had to explain to them that we wouldn't be doing the same show they saw."
If you would like to see the show they're doing, you have four opportunities. Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, as well as 2 p.m. on Saturday.

I am using MediaElement in my wp7 project which plays the video from online stream (mp4 format)
Things seems working but sometimes I noticed that Video gets a bit quick like playing in fast mode for a while and that makes video a bit ahead of Audio.
So whats the reason, Should I use MediaStreamSource or should I use SmoothMediaElement?
I thought it might be due to there are some threads which are updating UI using "Dispatcher.BeginInvoke" so I tried stopping all of them but problem remains there so it can be due to slow network or something but it shouldn't be doing like this. :(
Please help.

Chris Nelson, Reds agree to minor league contract - 0 Comments
CINCINNATI — Infielder Chris Nelson and the Cincinnati Reds have agreed to a minor league contract.
The 28-year-old third baseman played for the Rockies, Yankees and Angels last season, batting a combined .227 with three homers and 24 RBIs in 64 games.
Colorado took him with the ninth overall pick in the 2004 amateur draft and traded him to the Yankees last May 1. The Angels claimed him off waivers 17 days later. Nelson batted .220 in 33 games for the Angels with three homers and 18 RBIs.
Cincinnati said Monday he will report to big league spring training.

The high school friends behind the longest game of tag EVER! The 40-somethings who fly across the world and break into each others' homes in quest to avoid being 'it'
A group of 40-something men have spent much of the past 30 years engaged in one of the longest running and most elaborate games of tag ever.
The idea of a bunch of grown men traveling the country attempting to tag each other may sound strange, but it has helped to foster an enduring friendship between the ten buddies.
The high jinks started back in high school when as teenagers they would entertain themselves by playing the schoolyard game during breaks at Gonzaga Preparatory School in Spokane, Washington.
Who's it? High school buddies and hardcore tag fans (from left to right) Bill Akers, Patrick Schultheis, Sean Raftis and Mike Konesky
'Back then we used to get up to some crazy things like running through the halls, but after we graduated we went our separate ways,' says Mike Konesky, who has the dubious honor of currently being 'It.'
The competition initially ended on the last day of high school in 1983 and for the next seven years, college and careers got in the way of childish pranks.
Then a school reunion in 1990 sparked an idea to reinstate the competition, partly as a way for everyone to keep in touch and partly because the guys missed the competitiveness of trying to outwit each other.
Ever since the men have competed in the friendly competition, although they limit the game to the month of February because more adult responsibilities such as jobs and families tend to get in the way.
The players have all signed 'The Tag Participation Agreement' which outlines the spirit of the game and remains fundamentally the same as the schoolyard version they played all those years ago.
The rules include that one player is 'It' until they tag someone else and you are not allowed to tag a player who has just tagged you.
The long-running game of tag started back in the early 1980s at Gonzaga Preparatory School in Spokane, Wash.
The rules may remain the same, but the game has certainly grown more elaborate over the years. Wives have been enlisted as spies, assistants at work are ordered to bar players from the office and sometimes players will travel the length of the country or even abroad in the hope that they can surprise and tag another player.
'You're like a deer or elk in hunting season,' Joe Tombari, a high-school teacher in Spokane, told the Wall Street Journal. He admits he sometimes locks the door of his classroom during off-periods and checks under his car before he gets near it during the month of February.
Back in the mid-1990s, Tombari and his wife, then living in California, got a knock on the door from a friend.
A neighbor invited them to inspect his new car, but what they didn't know was that Father Sean Raftis, then the current 'It,' had flown in from Seattle and was hiding in the trunk. He jumped out and tagged Tombari, whose wife was so shocked that she fell and tore a knee ligament.
The most ambitious attempt at a tag ended in failure for Tombari when he traveled all the way to Munich, Germany to tag Konesky.
The tag ceased for several years after the boys left Gonzaga Preparatory School but it started up again in 1990 after they had a high school reunion
On that occasion Tombari managed to tag his rival, but it wasn't allowed to stand as it occurred on March 2nd. Tombari hadn't been able to get the time of work during February and as a result his trip didn't count.
Another cross country trip involved
Konesky traveling from his home in California to pay a visit on Chris
Ammann who was living in Boston.
spent two days in the bushes outside Ammann's apartment, sitting in his
friend's favorite bar and driving up and down his street, but with no
Ammann had gone out of town for the weekend and as a result, Konesky was 'It' for that year.
Konesky has plenty of experience of being 'It' and recalls many years ago that he even went as far as breaking into someone's house in an attempt to tag one of his rivals.
In the early hours of the morning Konesky tiptoed toward Brian Dennehy's bedroom, before flipping on the light and bursting through the door. Dennehy's wife screamed at him to run, but as Konesky recalls: 'There was nowhere for Brian to run.'
Another member of the group is Patrick Schultheis, who as a first-year lawyer drafted 'The Tag Participation Agreement' back in 1990. Every February he instructs the office manager at his work that he doesn't want to see his friends.
Tombari has admitted that he once tried to talk his way past her, but she refused to let him in. 'She knew it was tag time,' he says.
Unfortunately for Tombari he wasn't so lucky when another member of the gang, Mark, managed to convince the security guard at Joe's work to let him into the building.
None of the ten participants enjoys the prospect of being ridiculed for a year and ending up as
'It' come the end of February, but all are agreed that it is much more
important that the tradition is maintained and their friendship is preserved for many years to come.

text: You'll never regret dining at Amicas. Get there early, though, there's usually a line out the door! It is a smallish restaurant and one of the local favorites but it's worth the dining experience. It's a short distance to the river and park where people like to also hang out.
