SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Gov. Susana Martinez has approved measures revamping the Public Regulation Commission, including increasing qualifications for future members.
Bills signed into law on Friday will transfer the registration of corporations to the secretary of state's office from the PRC and establish an independent office to regulate insurance rates and policies. Voters approved constitutional amendments in November to require the PRC changes.
Future PRC candidates or appointees must have at least 10 years of professional experience in a field related to the agency, such as finance, law and government administration, or that much combined experience and higher education.
The standards won't apply to the current five PRC members, who need only to be 18 years old and state residents.
Another new law eases regulation of taxis, shuttles and in-state moving companies.

You don't become the queen by debuting albums at number two. Madonna's twelfth studio album MDNA has debuted at number one on the Billboard chart, marking the singer's third consecutive decade of pop dominance. With 359,000 units of the album already sold, Madonna is on track to have the best first week of the year with MDNA.
Controversy surrounding the singer has kept the new album on everyone's radar, from M.I.A. and her middle finger during Madonna's half time show to Toronto electronic artist deadmau5 starting an online beef with Madonna after he felt she endorsed drug use during last month's Ultra Music Festival in Miami. And while the reviews for Madonna's latest record have been mixed, the numbers prove that fans are still hungry for the Material Girl's brand of pop music.

Browns' businesslike win a positive sign
The Browns met expectations Sunday, defeating vulnerable Indianapolis — a nice bounce-back game for Cleveland after flopping in the season opener.
AFC North race back to Square One
By Sunday's end, the entire AFC North was at the .500 mark. What does it all mean? We explore.
Browns stock report: Week Two
Here's senior editor Mike Wilkening's Week Two stock report for the Browns after their 27-19 win at Indianapolis on Sunday.
Browns players of the week: Game Two
Here's our take on the Browns' top players on offense, defense and special teams in the Week Two win at Indianapolis.
Browns ORT Pashos (ankle) out; Hicks likely to start
Browns OT Tony Pashos (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game at Indianapolis on Friday, and Artis Hicks will likely start in Pashos' place, head coach Pat Shurmur said.
Five questions with PFW Colts correspondent Tom James
PFW Colts correspondent Tom James gave his take on some issues facing the club after the Week One loss to Houston.
Browns fantasy report: Week Two
Here's a look at the Browns' top fantasy football options, including RB Peyton Hillis, for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Browns-Colts prediction
PFW's Mike Wilkening sees the Colts evening their record at .500 with a win vs. Cleveland.
Cribbs' debut a positive sign for Cleveland
RS-WR Joshua Cribbs appears to have returned to top form after a disappointing 2010 season.
They said it: Browns Week Two
The following are quotes from head coach Pat Shurmur and Browns players from transcripts provided by the club:
Single-game tickets for Browns' matchup vs. Miami sold out
Single-game tickets for Cleveland's Sept. 25 matchup vs. Miami at Cleveland Browns Stadium are sold out, the team announced Wednesday.
Browns add two backs after losing Williams, Porter
The Browns made a pair of practice-squad moves Wednesday, including the addition of FB Will Ta'ufo'ou, who joins the club after Cleveland lost yet another fullback to an active roster.
Barnidge signed with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday.|||||||
Barnidge's decision came one day after the Panthers, his former team, re-signed their other backup tight end Ben Hartsock.
The Panthers placed Barnidge on injured reserve.|||||||
The decision to put Barnidge on injured reserve was not a surprise as he'll miss 12 weeks with a fractured ankle.
The Panthers signed fifth-round draft choice Gary Barnidge from Louisville on Tuesday.|||||||
The team did not release terms of the deal. Barnidge, a 6-foot-5, 247-pound tight end, figures to contend for playing time with two other young tight ends: Jeff King and Dante Rosario. Barnidge, a first-team All-Big East selection in 2007, played in 47 games with 29 starts for Louisville. He made 108 receptions for 1,491 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Broil King Griddles & Grills
If you cook large Sunday breakfasts for your family or entertain frequently, look for a griddle that has a large cooking surface so you can accommodate everyone. Indoor grills either look like smaller versions of traditional grills, or two-sided affairs that cook your food from the top and bottom at the same time. An easily removed drip cup and removable plates are two important features you should look for in your indoor grill to make cleaning and maintenance simple. A nonstick surface is a definite plus. For convenience and to keep necessary storage space to a minimum, look for a combination grill/griddle that either has reversible or changeable plates that can carry out the function of both units. Whatever you choose, make sure to buy brand names that you know and trust, and you're sure to have a new cooking appliance that will last you for years to come.
Popular Brands:
Some of the biggest names in small kitchen appliances make grills and griddles that you can rely on. Cuisinart, for example, makes a convenient unit that lets you grill or griddle on the reversible top plate while grilling hotdogs or kebabs in the lower portion of the unit. With so much functionality in one unit, you won't have to worry about storing several different pieces of equipment.

Fifth Third Arena is a 13,176-seat multipurpose arena in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The arena opened in 1989 and is located on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. It primarily serves as the home venue for the Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball, women's basketball, and women's volleyball teams and hosts other events. It is located in the Myrl H. Shoemaker Center, which was also the name of the arena until 2005, when it was named for Cincinnati-based Fifth Third Bank. It is still popularly known as "The Shoe."
The facility hosted the 1994 Great Midwest Conference men's and women's basketball tournaments, the 1998 Conference USA men's basketball & volleyball tournaments, the 1999 NCAA Mideast Women's Basketball Regional, the 2003 NCAA West Women's Basketball Subregional, and the 2006 Big East volleyball championship.
Cincinnati has compiled a 205-27 record and an 88.4 winning percentage since its opening in 1989-90, and an 99-9 ledger over the past seven years. In the 1999-2000 season, every Bearcat home game was sold out. During the Bob Huggins era, it was known as one of the most hostile arenas in the nation due to the high decibel levels typical of his tenure.[citation needed]
A new basketball court was installed for the 2003-2004 season. It is a similar floor to ones used in the NBA. Like its predecessor, it is named Ed Jucker court, in honor of the coach who led the Bearcats to their two national championships.
The building was previously named for Myrl H. Shoemaker, the former Lieutenant Governor of the state of Ohio. Prior to the building of The Shoe, the Bearcats played off-campus at Riverfront Coliseum (now U.S. Bank Arena) and the Cincinnati Gardens. Their previous on-campus arena, Armory Fieldhouse, has been renovated for recreational use, and is located adjacent to the arena to the north.

About This Library
Bessie Coleman Branch opened and was dedicated March 27, 1993, replacing the Washington Park Branch, a one-room facility in Woodlawn Branch, and the Washington Park Branch, a smaller storefront. The branch was named after pioneering pilot Bessie Coleman, who was the first African American and one of the first American women to receive a pilot's license.
Coleman's first flying exhibition was in 1922 at Checkerboard Field, now Midway Airport, in Chicago. She became known throughout the region United States for her daredevil flying prowess and her many encouraging speeches to young African American men and women. Her goal was to open a flying school. At the threshold of achieving this dream, she suffered a fatal accident on April 30, 1926 while preparing for an air show sponsored by the Jacksonville, Fla., Negro Welfare League. Her example continues to inspire, and every year on Memorial Day, the Tuskegee Airmen fly over Coleman's grave, dropping flowers in her honor. When the Bessie Coleman Branch celebrated its opening day, members of the original Tuskegee Airmen team attended the festivities, along with the Coleman family. One of the airmen presented his own portrait of Bessie Coleman to the branch as a gift to the people of the community.
Bessie Coleman Branch features five pieces of art funded through the Percent for Art Ordinance administered by the City of Chicago Public Art Program: two quilts by Big Mama, a quilt by Laverne Brackens, a britches quilt by Arbie Williams and an ink and acrylic work on paper by Tim Branson.

Recipe by May
"Drop cookies with sour cream and orange juice."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons orange zest
Good cookie, nice and soft.
This cookie is a little bland. I had to add 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract to add more zest to my second batch. Also, there was too little butter to the amount of flour needed. (Ijjy)
4 Ratings
I followed the recipe exactly except I added about 2 tbsp of cocoa powder (because we all know how good friends orange and chocolate are). They tasted pretty yummy, but the texture was all wrong! They were like little cakes. I like my cookies chewy and a little crisp. These were neither, fluffy and puffy. I won't make these again. Ever. Unless I need a good cake recipe.

Slovenia joined Croatia in the last eight and its victory allowed Italy to advance as well, despite its 76-68 loss to Croatia.
The host team nearly blew a huge lead but held on to send the home fans into a frenzy in Stozice Arena.
Spain, the defending two-time champion, cruised past Finland 82-56. Spain, with two wins and two losses, plays Italy (2-2) in its final second-round game. Greece and Finland also still have a chance of making it to the last eight.
Greece (1-3) plays Croatia (3-1), and Finland (1-3) goes against Slovenia (3-1).
From the other group, France, Lithuania and Serbia have already advanced.
Dragic scored his team's first 11 points, before his younger brother Dragan scored the next four to set the tone for the game.
Goran Dragic's impact was huge, at both ends of the court. After making one free throw, the NBA player grabbed an offensive rebound and dished out an assist for Nebojsa Joskimovic's 3-pointer that put Slovenia up by 20 early in the third quarter.
The lead quickly grew to 26, and Greece suffered even worse when forward Kosta Papanikolaou limped off with an ankle injury midway through the quarter.
"It's a very bad ankle sprain," Greece coach Andrea Trinchieri said. "We came back with desire and passion in the second half but we missed the chance to close within three and that was that."
While Goran Dragic had a rest in the fourth, Slovenia's lead melted to six by the time he returned.
He stole the ball and put in a layup -- his only points in the fourth quarter -- to make it 70-62. Greece missed three straight 3-point attempts and Jaka Lakovic made three of four free throws to keep Slovenia ahead.
Goran Dragic also had five rebounds and four assists, while his brother added 11 points.
"We had a huge lead but it wasn't over," Goran Dragic said. "We knew they don't like to play fast, especially in the first two quarters. The key was our rebounding."
Slovenia coach Boza Maljkovic said his team's 21 offensive rebounds made the difference. "We played well for 26 minutes, then we went down and I didn't like it."
Vassilis Spanoulis led Greece with 21 and eight rebounds.
Croatia trailed by 13 early and was down by five at halftime but outscored Italy 26-9 -- including a 10-0 run -- in the third to go ahead for good, holding off a late rally.
Shooting guards Bojan Bogdanovic and Krunoslav Simon had eight points each during the run and point guard Roko Leno Ukic scored six straight to spark Croatia's comeback.
Bogdanovic finished with 18 points, while Luigi Datome had 24 for Italy.
"I don't think we need to lose any confidence now. We lost the games against Slovenia and Croatia but we were not dominated and we don't need to fear Spain," Datome said. "The crucial moment was the third quarter, they went 10-0 and turned the game around."
Italy cut the deficit to four with 2:44 left to play but Marco Cusin missed a dunk, Bogdanovic grabbed the rebound and Simon hit a jumper before sinking two free throws to end Italy's hopes.
Croatia got 21 points from its bench, compared to seven for Italy.
Jose Calderon led Spain with 23 points, while Petteri Koponen had 17 for Finland.
Spain had 15 more rebounds and 10 more assists than Finland, which dropped to 1-3.

Fashion gossip of the day, chicas: it's time to pull out those old graphic sweaters that have been collecting dust in your closet-yup, it's the latest, cool fashion trend! I recently got a mustard owl sweater and I've been rocking it with just about everything!
1. For a casual day, pair a sweater like this one with jeans and booties. When it's cold out, throw on a coat or your favorite leather jacket. Of course, don't forget to accessorize!

2. If you are in the mood to go out for bebidas, this sweater goes great with a sequined skirt-it's the perfect way to balance things out. Just remember this rule of thumb: if you want to show some legs, just make sure you cover up on top and vice versa.

The Crowd Says (107) | Page 1 of Comments
The Roar Live Blog: Latest comments displayed at the top of the page | Click here to jump to leave a comment
Qantas supports Australian Football said | 8:48pm | Report commentOK they deserved the win, but it's how the win was achieved that I am referring to and it wasn't done by totally out classing SFC as the one-eyed MV supporter has suggested.. When Emerton was forced from the field some confidence in the team immediately evaporated—reorganisation had to take place—totally changed the dynamics of SFC game plan..
Rojas's goals were severe deflections to wrong foot Janjetovic who otherwise had them covered. As you say "Chris Beath didn't have a good game; his calls were inconsistent at times and Diogo Ferreira could've been sent off" Therefore, I maintain we were unlucky not to come home with a draw.. I didn't think we were good enough to win, but very unlucky to have lost because of those circumstances I have outlined. I'm confident when we meet again in the playoffs we can overcome them next time..
Qantas supports Australian Football said | 9:29pm | Report commentOne or two of those goals were deemed as own goals and the ball played the man (both times), the players involved never played at the ball so we will never really know. None of the commentators have said there was any evidence that they should have been pens if the keeper either saved the shorts or the shots did not eventually end up in the back of the net. Therefore, we will never know. I don't believe the players ever tried to deliberately to stop the balls with their arms, but the ball struck them accidentally—so no pen in my view..
"Harry got a Red Card at WC2010 (against GHA) when a ball, which was heading towards goal, hit his upper arm."
Harry, leaned towards the ball deliberately with arm and was last man on the line.. I seem to remember some time you said it was not a pen..
"Heck, SydneyFC could have ended with 7 men on the pitch" Rubbish, you guys were no angels either.. How many times did ADP get chopped? I lost count
Qantas supports Australian Football said | 9:39pm | Report commentBtw the commentator said those goals came about with good fortune—so do I—listen to the commentary.
Qantas supports Australian Football said | 1:42pm | Report commentSFC's inconsistency still remains an issue for Farina––notwithstanding, the lack of concentration when playing away from home, especially in front of such a venomous audience at AAMI stadium that we witnessed last night. Farina failed on this occasion to pump up the team when they ran out onto the pitch. Because it took an Emerton injury, two unlucky deflected (or own goals), and poor referring, to finally stir up the boys in Sky Blue to start playing football in the last 30 mins of the game…
I wrote in another article if we were to come away with a point (and it should've been a 1-1 result) we could have held our heads high. However, the mishaps that occurred yesterday could not have been any more unlucky for those who follow the Sky Blues. So therefore, with better luck next time, we still have plenty of time to make the six––we can keep improving. All we need to do is keep up the pressure on those teams around us with still nine games to go.
There is still plenty on light at end of the tunnel I can see to come out of this and achieve a berth place in the playoffs and our goal, the Championship… C'mon the Sky Blues, the premier club of Sydney (If not Australia)… Thank God Frank Lowy saw fit to leave my club––he would have axed ADP as he did Yorke after only one season… Looks like ADP is staying on…
philk said | 10:56pm | Report comment" the sleeping giant, it seems, has finally awoken"……give me a break, you sound like Simon Hill. Purely wishful thinking.
Ian said | 5:08pm | Report commentagree – the 'sleeping giant' line is more MV propaganda. no one cares outside of MV.
Garcia said | 10:56pm | Report commentMaybe the refs and two reds are to blame prior to this East Sydney Hakoah dominated the game.
Nathan of Perth said | 7:41pm | Report commentFascinating in the context of last weeks results. MV who couldn't score off their own boot against Glory and Sydney who piled on 7 against the Nix. 8 goal turnaround!
Jeremy said | 9:51am | Report commentThe crowd was almost 27,000, so there was only 3,000 non-attendance, however based on stadium layout, I doubt they will ever be able to achieve full stadium attendance.
Ian said | 5:10pm | Report commentits disappointing that MV members cant attend against sydney and to see AdP. we all know you can't make every game, i missed a Brisbane game well because i was overseas.but 3000 members couldn't make it out of 18000? about 17%?
bit tired of reading the fan base/so many people were going but 1 in 6 members couldn't make it to the game.
good for MV to sell the seats but non attendance is a curiousity. -
MV Dave said | 6:34pm | Report commentIt has been stated before that due to ground configuration eg tarping off seats between active/ non active supporters, away supporters etc that for Football games the maximum capacity is around 28,600 so there were about 1,800 non attendees including members and corporate.
Anyway as one of the attendees l can vouch for a sell out crowd (all ticket booths were closed before the game) and a fabulous and unique atmosphere unsurpassed in Oz sport. SFC fans made great noise also and so credit to them.
Looking forward to the Derby this week and maybe 42,000 plus at Etihad.
There is nothing like the MV juggernaut as it gathers momentum during the season.
Roarsome said | 7:11pm | Report commentSometimes it's just your day. Good luck to the kid….many say though, you make your own luck. Hopefully the scouts make him a nice offer.

Duos Lounge: Welcoming a new West Seattle Blog sponsor
February 28, 2014 at 4:32 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle restaurants, WS beverages | 6 CommentsGoing out for dinner? drinks? brunch? this weekend and/or beyond? New WSB sponsor Duos Lounge in Luna Park would love to see you. Here's what Duos would like you to know:
Duos Lounge works with a variety of small and large farms throughout the Pacific Northwest that provide specialty meats, seafood, and produce, making Duos the perfect place to enjoy local products.
On our menu you will find 100% grass-fed and pasture-raised beef, handcrafted pork, and sustainably raised free roaming poultry; all of which contain no steroids, hormones, coloring, or antibiotics. We celebrate these authentic and natural products by pairing them with our handmade breads and pastas, from-scratch sauces, and great Northwest produce.
The most common reports from Duos clientele usually revolve around people showing gratitude for our atmosphere, craft drinks, local music, and our use of local, sustainable foods. We often hear from our clients how great it is that they can dine at Duos and enjoy its offerings without having to drive over the bridge.
A large reason for our guests' visits to Duos is that we offer daily events like our "Wino Wednesday," where you can enjoy 1/2 price bottles of wine; "Throwback Thursdays," where you get discounted classic cocktails; Fridays, when we have our "Dress to the Nines," where our staff and guests dress in their Sunday best; and Saturdays, with '80s music and dancing after our dinner service.
Duos simply offers a great neighborhood spot to unwind, relax, and dine. We do not pressure our service staff to quickly turn tables or to up-sell items to increase ticket sales, and we think that really shows when you dine here. It really makes Duos unique in the sense that we really do care about the food we serve and how our guests feel when coming here. We want this to be that small-town place in a big city.
Duos is involved in the community, too, and after just 10 months in West Seattle has already had the opportunity to support many great local schools, firefighters, and other great small businesses in the area. We look forward to building more great relationships with local organizations as we grow.
Duos is at 2940 SW Avalon Way, open 4-10:30 pm Fridays and Saturdays, 10 am-2 pm for weekend brunch (Saturdays and Sundays), 4-9 pm Tuesdays-Wednesdays-Thursdays. You can make a reservation, see menus, and check the music schedule via duoslounge.com.
We thank Duos for sponsoring independent, community-collaborative neighborhood news via WSB; find our current sponsor team listed in directory format here, and find info on joining the team by going here.

Beer Church Turkey Bowl 2013: Mission, Elliott Bay take trophies
November 24, 2013 at 3:01 am | In West Seattle news, West Seattle people, WS beverages | 6 CommentsLots of winners in the 15th annual Beer Church Turkey Bowl, one of our area's most boisterous benefits, Saturday night at West Seattle Bowl. We got there just in time to hear Beer Church director Kendall Jones announce that the Mission team (above, with Kendall at left) won the bowling part of the night, and that the "Battle of the Brewers" trophy would go to Elliott Bay Brewing Co. (team below with Kendall and, at left, Kim Sharpe Jones):
Also winners: The clients of the West Seattle Food Bank, the beneficiary of Turkey Bowl proceeds – as well as cash and food donations, which this WSFB team was on hand to handle:
The night's festivities also included raffle items donated by local businesses and breweries (see the list on the Turkey Bowl page). As Kendall is quoted on the Beer Church home page as saying, "We encourage beer lovers everywhere to get involved in their communities and work to make the world a better place. Donate, volunteer, participate." (P.S. He also runs the Washington Beer Blog, where you can tap into beer news from all over the state.)
10:42 AM UPDATE: New info from Kim, in comments – more than $4,400 raised for the WS Food Bank, in addition to the donated food itself.
West Seattle (and vicinity) food and drink news: 5 notes
November 22, 2013 at 9:00 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle restaurants, WS beverages | 8 CommentsFive West Seattle food and drink notes to share tonight:
LUNCH RETURNS TO SKYLARK: After the new owners of Skylark Café and Club took over, they said they planned to bring back lunch. And they have done just that. Co-proprietor Matt Larson says they're open for lunch daily at 11:30 "and have our new menu in effect as well. It features our house cured bacon and pastrami, house ground beef, and a good selection of salads and sammies. Looking forward to giving our neighbors a new lunch option." The A-board photo is courtesy of Skylark neighbor PB&J Textiles (WSB sponsor).
In The Junction:
PAGLIACCI REMODELING: Noticing the work under way at Pagliacci Pizza's West Seattle delivery kitchen, we took the question to their company HQ and co-proprietor Matt Galvin replied that they are "siding the building, putting up a new sign, new awning, new flower pots, windows, bar-height seating inside, additional entrance that can access outside seating, and interior painting. We are excited about the long-overdue improvements to the building. We are hoping the work will be finished by Thanksgiving."
NEW SPECIALS AT MARINATION MA KAI: At Seacrest Pier, Marination ma kai (WSB sponsor) has launched a new round of bar specials – listed on this flyer, which also points out the MMK happy hours, Tuesdays-Fridays, 3-6 pm.
TAP STATION NOW OPEN: The beer/wine store at 35th/Kenyon is now serving customers, reports West Seattle-headquartered Washington Beer Blog. We featured the then-in-the-works Tap Station here back in June.
MUDHONEY ICE-CREAM-LAUNCH PARTY: Full Tilt Ice Cream's flagship location in White Center (9629 16th SW) has announced a launch party for its ice-cream flavor named after Seattle's legendary band Mudhoney. At 6:30 pm December 11th – a Wednesday, which is usually FT's "Bring Your Own Vinyl Night" – they're planning to spin Mudhoney's greatest hits while scooping Mudhoney ice cream, described in FT's news release as "Mudhoney ice cream mixes satisfying riffs of in-your-face cinnamon with a mellow backbeat of honey and fudge, all rounded out with Full Tilt's creamy hand-made texture . . . Like all Full Tilt ice cream, Mudhoney is crafted in small batches, so it's always extra smooth and luscious." Its local ingredients include West Seattle's own Shipwreck Honey.
P.S. If you'll be looking for food/drink on Thanksgiving – check the restaurant/coffee lists in the WSB West Seattle Holiday Guide.
West Seattle biznote: The Bridge sets final day at original location
November 14, 2013 at 5:50 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle restaurants, WS beverages | 14 Comments(FRIDAY UPDATE: The "epic photo" has changed to Sunday, December 1st, at 3 pm)
(Photo added Friday morning, courtesy of The Bridge)
Just in from Jenny Almukhtar of The Bridge, which is just a few weeks away from opening its new location at the overhauled former Chuck and Sally's Tavern in Morgan Junction:

(Friday update: The "epic photo" day/time has been changed to Sunday the 1st at 3 pm)
(back to original story) It's been a fast-moving renovation – less than six months have passed since we broke the news of the move. The Bridge has to leave its current location because of the revived mixed-use project in the works for the site.
West Seattle beverages: Admiral Bird to share Flower Lab space
November 13, 2013 at 1:23 pm | In West Seattle news, WS beverages | 20 Comments(L-R, Wendy, Corina, Heidi; photo courtesy Melissa Fenno Photography)

Hotwire Online Coffeehouse plans Seattle's first 'light bar'
October 18, 2013 at 9:31 am | In West Seattle news, WS beverages | 8 Comments(WSB photo by Nick Adams, September 2012 at Lowman Beach)
We've been lucky enough to see a fair amount of sunshine lately – but winter is creeping ever closer, and even now, foggy mornings are the price we're paying. So, going into the season when we just can't rely on sunshine, West Seattle's Hotwire Online Coffeehouse (WSB sponsor) is getting ready to install what's believed to be Seattle's first "light bar," with full-spectrum lights that mimic natural sunlight. Proprietor Lora Swift says she'll call it the Helio Bar: "Basically, a place to get phototherapy during the dark days of winter." The lights will be installed on November 3rd, after which time, Lora says, "You'll be able to get your coffee and a 15-minute dose of vitamin D at Hotwire."
And another anniversary! Chelan Café celebrates 75 years
August 10, 2013 at 6:00 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle restaurants, WS beverages | 1 CommentThis is a big day for business anniversaries in West Seattle! Thanks to Marcia Ingerslev for sharing a photo from the 75th anniversary party at the Chelan Café, whose restaurant and Ebb Tide Room bar are favorites by the west end of the low bridge. In the photo, that's Chelan proprietor Mary Manning-Smith, smiling bright during the celebration at the family-owned café.
Happening now: Ardbeg Rocket visiting Capco Beverages
August 3, 2013 at 5:31 pm | In West Seattle news, WS beverages | 1 CommentOne of the more unusual promotional tours crossing the nation right now is this one, on behalf of Ardbeg scotch whisky – a rocket on a semi-truck. Right now, the Ardbeg Rocket is in West Seattle, parked on SW Alaska at 41st SW in The Junction, outside Capco Beverages (WSB sponsor), where it'll be until at least 7 pm. So what do rockets and spirits have to do with each other, you ask? Ardbeg actually sent some of its malt to the International Space Station for two years of experiments (here's a BBC story about it).
West Seattle food and drink notes: Ex-Bohemian hiring; Alki building for sale; Blackboard, Diva notes
June 16, 2013 at 11:18 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle restaurants, WS beverages | 5 CommentsFour tidbits:
FINALLY CLOSER TO OPENING? There's a sign the new restaurant planned for the former Bohemian location at 3405 California SW might finally be approaching its opening, almost two years after it was sold. The last official word was nine months ago, when our repeated inquiries via phone, e-mail, note under the door, etc., finally were answered with a postal-mail letter from the new ownership, which already has Bick's and Saltoro in North Seattle, and explained that this too would be a "simple neighborhood dinnerhouse." In the ensuing months, work has continued, including subtle exterior touches – and now we've found a help-wanted ad seeking cooks for "North Seattle and West Seattle" locations, and the application address is Bick's. The last known working title for the WS restaurant was West City Kitchen, but no signage has appeared yet.
Speaking of ads, another one of note:
BAMBOO BUILDING FOR SALE: A new commercial-real-estate listing appeared this weekend for the building housing Bamboo Bar and Grill. The listing makes it clear the business itself is NOT for sale, just the building, which also has three residential units on the second floor, and the marketing brochure reiterates that the business has another year on its lease and wants to stay. Asking price: $1.4 million.
And changes elsewhere:
BLACKBOARD BISTRO BRUNCH: Summertime and not only is the patio open at Blackboard Bistro (3247 California SW), says Chef Jacob Wiegner, they're also now serving Sunday brunch 9:30 am-2 pm, with current dinner hours 5-9 pm Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, and 5-10 pm Fridays and Saturdays. (We have updated the WSB West Seattle Restaurant Guide accordingly.)
DIVA IN THE EVENING: This past Thursday night, Diva Espresso in The Triangle launched a Thursday night open-mike night, 7-9 pm (signups at 6). And in the announcement shared with us by Diva management, they also mentioned they're "in the process of getting" a license to offer beer/malt beverages.
West Seattle beverages: 2 wins for Elliott Bay Brewing in Washington Beer Awards
June 15, 2013 at 10:20 pm | In West Seattle news, WS beverages | 1 CommentCongratulations to West Seattle-headquartered Elliott Bay Brewing for two medals today in the first-ever Washington Beer Awards, announced at the Washington Brewers Festival! We got word from its owners that Fauntleroy Stout won a gold medal and Gateway Amber won a silver medal. See the full list of winners here. (West Seattleite-owned Washington Beer Blog tells us its coverage of the awards is in the works.)
West Seattle businesses: Tap Station filling former Sharon's Westwood Florist spot
June 10, 2013 at 7:02 pm | In West Seattle news, WS beverages | 16 CommentsActivity at the former Sharon's Westwood Florist shop at 35th/Kenyon, including that sign, caught the attention of WSB'ers Catherine, Jissy, and Felicia, who e-mailed to ask about it. The answer turned up in a recent state liquor-license-application filing, with a "beer/wine specialty shop" license sought for The Tap Station. Among the applicants: Names we recognized from the team behind Locöl, in its third year next door. So we contacted Kyle Duce to ask about the plan for the neighboring store; he says it'll offer more than beer and wine:
I have teamed up with my Chef/GM of Locöl- Charlie Worden – and will be creating a TO-GO "Tap Station"- a wine/beer/retail Shop that will have 8 local wines on tap and 8 local beers on tap. These will be available by growler fill or in any vessel and will be charged accordingly by the ounce. Tap Station will also have a bottle/can beer selection as well as bottled wine.
As far as the retail side, we plan on having (pre-packaged/local) grab and go food items for household use, camping, picnics, etc… Tabby Cat Pickling Company and Doolie's Hot Sauce, to name a few. We are in the works of having a house olive oil and balsamic fill station that will allow you to fill for home use and be charged by the ounce. We plan on using this separate location as an educational space on all the bounties the NW has to offer. I wanted to create a space that would compliment Locöl and offer a quick in-and-out experience for people cruising home for a BBQ or a spot that the neighborhood could come in and get educated on all the things we love about the NW.
I look forward to bringing all these ideas together in a beautiful rustic space that will be inviting to the neighborhood and offer the same level of passionate, unpretentious service and neighborhood focus that we founded Locöl on!
How soon, you ask? Duce says they're "looking at opening in the next couple months."
In the mood for a campfire? Cook up s'mores @ Hotwire Coffee
June 9, 2013 at 9:41 am | In West Seattle news, WS beverages | 5 CommentsIt's a cloudy Sunday morning, and though it's June, summer warmth seems far away.

Hotwire is offering you 4 s'mores "for your roasting pleasure, served up with your personal fire pit," $5.50. Check 'em out and cook 'em up at 4410 California SW (just south of SW Genesee).

West Seattle food/drink notes: New wine-tasting spot; North Delridge food-truck stop
May 10, 2013 at 12:16 pm | In West Seattle news, WS beverages | 3 CommentsTwo food/drink notes to share this morning:
LA ROMANZA BISTRO PAIRS WITH SIREN SONG WINES: This weekend in The Junction, it's your next chance to try out the new Siren Song Wines tasting room inside La Romanza Bistro Italiano (4521 California SW; WSB sponsor). It's open 3-6 pm Saturdays and Sundays. In our photo above, that's La Romanza proprietor Aimee Pellegrini and Siren Song's Kevin Brown.
NEW FOOD-TRUCK STOP: Delridge Way has been a popular area for many of the city's food trucks to park when not out serving their wares. Now, though, we have word that a popular truck is adding a Delridge stop to its schedule: Starting next Monday, 11 am-2 pm, TFN, you can find the new Orleans cuisine of Where Ya At Matt in the parking lot of West Seattle Corporate Center (Delridge/Andover), also known as "the building with the big flag."
Highland Park Uncorked wine event: Less than one week away!
May 5, 2013 at 2:53 pm | In Highland Park, West Seattle news, WS beverages | Comments OffThis year's wine-tasting event/fundraiser at Highland Park Improvement Club has gone totally uncorked. So much so, that's what they're calling it now – "Highland Park Uncorked." It's less than a week away – next Saturday, May 11th, doors open 6 pm, tasting at 7 – so time is running out for pre-registration, which carries a lower "suggested donation" rate – $15, otherwise $20 at the door, and a $15-or-under bottle of wine for the tasting event. You can sign up here (and read more about how the event will unfold, and why you're bringing a bottle of wine).
Firefly Café and Creperie adding juice bar, outdoor seating; still collecting WestSide Baby donations, too!
April 26, 2013 at 2:25 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle restaurants, WS beverages | 2 CommentsTwo updates today from Firefly Café and Creperie (WSB sponsor) – first, proprietor Charell Estby announced today that an organic juice bar is in the works! She tells us she's "hoping to have it operational by the end of May." It'll be incorporated into existing space – and, the reason for the photo above: Official outdoor seating is in the works, pending a city permit, too. (Charell also points out that she found a carpenter by posting a help-wanted ad in the WSB Forums' free-to-post "WS Jobs Offered" section.) Meantime, just yesterday, Charell drove a load of donations over to WestSide Baby …
She is continuing to accept car seats (in good shape) and diaper donations for WS Baby through the end of the month (Tuesday, April 30) – and she's been matching each car-seat donation with a package of diapers herself! Haven't been to Firefly yet? Northeast corner of California and Genesee on the north edge of The Junction.
From Washington Beer Blog: West Seattle stake in brew-tax battle
April 8, 2013 at 3:14 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle politics, WS beverages | 25 CommentsWest Seattle resident Kendall Jones sends word from Olympia that he is reporting live today for his site Washington Beer Blog, as the Legislature looks at Gov. Inslee's proposal to raise education money by extending a tax on brewers, and applying it to small breweries as well as large ones. He says there are two West Seattle angles to this – one, tax opponents are asking 34th District Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon for help; two, one of the small breweries leading the fight in Olympia today is West Seattleite-owned Schooner Exact. You can read Kendall's ongoing report here.
Marination ma kai: Welcoming a new West Seattle Blog sponsor
March 1, 2013 at 4:17 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle restaurants, WS beverages | 16 CommentsThe weather's warming, the days are lengthening, and one of our newest WSB sponsors is waiting for you at Seacrest on the West Seattle waterfront. Here's what Marination ma kai proprietors Kamala Saxton and Roz Edison (L-R in the photo) want you to know about their restaurant/bar as they head toward their first spring and summer here:
"There are two things we hear about every single day: our service, and our food. People are a little surprised that a $2.50 taco can be so tasty, and that the gal who served it to them remembers their names from last time. I don't know how we're changing lives, but I do know that the world can be a tough place to navigate, and everyone can have a bad day, but when you come to Marination you can count on a friendly face saying nice things and genuinely caring about this one moment in time. It's the one part of the day where people know they are going to have an overall good experience, even if it's just for a few minutes. We hear about it a lot. It never gets old. It's pretty humbling, actually.
"For us and our employees, we choose to keep coming back because no matter how gray and rainy Seattle gets it's always warm and fuzzy at any one of our locations. And that's including the truck! We're a really happy crew, we love being around each other. That love and happiness is definitely reflected in our grub. We're lucky because we've cultivated a really strong clientele of folks who are extremely comfortable telling us directly when our rice is undercooked, or something's amiss with the pork, and we are all over it immediately. The two things we care about the most in our company are propping up our community through various involvements and donations, and keeping our menu fresh, tasty, and affordable. So I guess if someone asked 'why you?' we'd ask if they are down with building a strong community and with eating great food for cheap, and if so, then that's why. West Seattle is such a strong and awesome neighborhood community. We can't get enough."
Find out more about Marination ma kai – including hours (which will change with the seasons) and menu – on the Web, here. Marination is on Facebook, too, and on Twitter. And/or just go to 1660 Harbor Avenue SW (map) and investigate the food, drink, view, and general aloha, firsthand.
We thank Marination ma kai for sponsoring independent, community-collaborative neighborhood news via WSB; find our current sponsor team listed in directory format here, and find info on joining the team by going here.
Pioneer Coffee on Alki losing lease, looking for new home
February 21, 2013 at 11:18 am | In West Seattle businesses, West Seattle news, WS beverages | 64 CommentsThanks to the WSB'ers who tipped us to the impending closure of Pioneer Coffee on Alki. To get details, we talked with the shop's manager, Lisa Del Rosario. She tells WSB that after five years, Pioneer Coffee is doing well – but recently found out that its lease will not be renewed. They have to be out by the end of March. No word yet what will take over the space (no permit filings so far), but the folks at Pioneer are asking you for help: They are asking for ideas of where they might move – sooner rather than later, so they can transfer permits rather than apply for them all over again. They've built up a steady clientele for both coffee and afternoon/evening beer and wine, and say they love their loyal customers and hate the thought of leaving Alki and leaving them behind. Right now, they are planning a going-away party for late March, as a way of thanking those beloved customers; if they find a new location sooner, she says, it will be a grand-opening party. If you have a location suggestion – particularly in the Alki area – please e-mail Lisa at email@example.com or call the café – 206-937-0920.
Congratulations, C & P Coffee Company! 10th anniversary party
February 14, 2013 at 8:04 pm | In West Seattle news, WS beverages | 14 CommentsThey are the C & P in C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor) – Cameron and Pete Moores – and they are celebrating a milestone tonight: Ten years in business! Valentine's Day 2003 is when their coffee house, community gathering spot, arts hub, discussion-group hotspot, etc., opened in the century-old Craftsman it inhabits at 5612 California SW. Tonight they are greeting friends old and new during a party that was wall-to-wall people when we stopped by for a photo – including a kids' fishing game on the back porch, and Bob "Bobcat Bob" Rice performing somewhere amid the revelers. C & P hosts a wide range of events every month – keep an eye on the calendar here. Congratulations, C & P!
West Seattle Brewing Company's first sale, just tapped
January 25, 2013 at 12:18 pm | In West Seattle news, WS beverages | 8 Comments12:18 PM: Thanks to Kendall Jones from the West Seattle-headquartered Washington Beer Blog for the tip that the new West Seattle Brewing Company has just announced its "first commercial sale" – its "West Pale" has just been tapped at A Terrible Beauty in The Junction. WS Brewing Company is the beer-making enterprise that took over the former Tervo's/Corner Market spot in The Triangle, as reported here last July. But don't go THERE to try their brew – it's not open to the public. Terrible Beauty IS (at Edmunds/California).
8:20 PM: If you're just seeing this now – all gone, reports WSBC.
Another closure announced: Alki Tavern's shutting down
January 2, 2013 at 6:08 pm | In West Seattle news, WS beverages | 90 Comments(Photo by Christopher Boffoli)
ORIGINAL REPORT, 6:08 PM: In March of last year, we reported that a stretch of Harbor Avenue including the Alki Tavern's site was up for sale, listed for almost $4 million. Tonight, the tavern has announced via Facebook that it's closing:
Well, it's finally true… After 38 years the Alki Tavern will be closing on March 17th… St Patrick's Day. Let's make these last 3 months unforgettable!
King County property records show transactions including the tavern site within the past two weeks. We're following up to find out more.
(Inside Alki Tavern tonight)
ADDED 7:17 PM: WSB co-publisher Patrick Sand has just spoken with Alki Tavern manager Gill McLynne, who is the son of its current owners (and has a brother working there too). He confirms that they're moving because of a pending project, and says the family does not plan to try to re-create the Alki Tavern somewhere else – you can't duplicate something that's one of a kind. So between now and St. Patrick's Day – a closing day they chose because of their Irish heritage, and the fact it was always a big day at the tavern – watch for some special celebratory nights so people can come by and say goodbye, including, he said, nights to honor some of the former bartenders and servers. He estimates as many as 300 people have worked there over the years. Since it's a family-run business with many regular customers, it'll be sad to say goodbye, he said, but he and his family will work to make the final few months special for the regulars as well as for the whole neighborhood.
ADDED 9:36 PM: County records show the sale spanning two transactions on December 21 and 24, with Salty's Properties listed as selling the entire site to YMSA Co. Ltd. for $3.2 million in one transaction on the 21st (the same day YMSA registered with the state, listing its company directors as two people with addresses in Korea), and the tavern owners' interests deeded to Salty's Properties for $392,000 on the 24th. We could not find any specific development proposal filed online so far for any part of the site, though there were land-use consultations in fall of 2011; the land is zoned for up to 65 feet (six stories).
More West Seattle holiday lists: Restaurants, coffee, grocery stores

This year we've included Christmas Eve/Day and New Year's Eve/Day information wherever possible. Here are the direct links:
*Restaurants – here

Please also note, this research has taken the better part of the past two weeks, and there's always a chance a business will change its plan – so we'd advise you to set out (especially on Christmas Day) with Plans A and B. For more information on local establishments, you can also check their listings in the WSB West Seattle Restaurant Guide.

Capco Beverages liquor/wine store: New WSB sponsor, with coupon!
November 21, 2012 at 1:02 pm | In West Seattle news, WS beverages | 13 CommentsOn this busy pre-holiday-shopping day, we welcome one of our newest sponsors – Capco Beverages, the liquor store opened by longtime Junction entrepreneur Leon Capelouto in the spot that was previously the state's premier liquor store; now it's a premier private liquor/wine store, as the Capco Beverages team wants to make sure you know:
(WSB photo: Jan, Jane, and at center, manager Dolly)
The word "premier" isn't just a label; this is not your average liquor store. Capco Beverages' stock includes unusual and rare spirits. "We have things you won't find anywhere else in West Seattle: bourbons, scotches, tequila," store manager Dolly Amend says. "All the local Seattle area bourbons. Our Scotch section is constantly growing. We want to have the best selection of Scotch, bourbons, gins, liqueurs, tequila and vodkas anywhere in the state." The Scotch section of the store is absolutely the best in the city, if not the state, says Dolly – single malts, for example, you might never have found in Seattle before, such as Laddie Classic, Ledaig, Tobermory.
Capco Beverages also offers an extensive tequila section, with what aficionados call "fantastic mezcals," and a selection of liqueurs from all over the world: Italian Amari, pastis from France, Cynar, every possible fruit liqueur. Dolly says that if a product is listed with a distributor, she will stock it. If a customer asks and it isn't on the shelf, she will try to get it. And dozens of made-in-Washington labels are in stock.
Its merchandise also includes a collection of Alki t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets and caps, martini shakers, and just about every tool and ingredient for making cocktails – including tipsy cherries, cocktail onions, many bitters, even a special salt to rim your Margaritas. Plus ginger beer, soda, tonics and many different vermouths. We also have wine and drink gift baskets ready to purchase – or custom baskets can be made.
"Grocery stores wouldn't have room to carry the 3000-plus brands and sizes of liquor we have now," Dolly says, also pointing out that Capco Beverages has a "huge, wonderful selection of wine."
Capco Beverages is at 41st and Alaska, in Capco Plaza (same building as QFC and Petco). You'll also find the store on Facebook. And you can use a special coupon you'll find here on WSB to get a discount on your purchase.
HOLIDAY NOTE: Capco Beverages plans to be OPEN Thanksgiving Day – 10 am-2 pm. Regular hours are listed online.
We thank Capco Beverages for sponsoring independent, community-collaborative neighborhood news via WSB; find our current sponsor team listed in directory format here, and find info on joining the team by going here.
West Seattle's Shipwreck Tavern closing: 'The ship is wrecked'
November 14, 2012 at 9:34 pm | In West Seattle news, WS beverages | 30 CommentsThis weekend marks the end for Shipwreck Tavern in The Admiral District. After getting a tip tonight from Guy (thanks!), we went there to confirm the reported shutdown, and co-owner Scott told WSB it's true. The Shipwreck also made the announcement via Facebook:

Former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach and FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH bassist Chris Kael joined SIN CITY SINNERS on stage this past Wednesday, September 26 at Vinyl at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada to perform a cover version of the JUDAS PRIEST classic "You've Got Another Thing Comin'". Fan-filmed video footage of the performance can be seen below.
SIN CITY SINNERS earlier in the year announced its newest addition, actor/musician Zach Throne. Zach joins original SINNERS Todd Kerns (SLASH), Brent Muscat (FASTER PUSSYCAT) and Rob Cournoyer (RAGING SLAB). SIN CITY SINNERS released its third album, "A Sinners' Christmas" late last year. It was recorded, mixed and mastered at Hit Track Studios in Las Vegas and produced by Brent Muscat and Tom Parham, and executive-produced by Jason Green. In 2010, SIN CITY SINNERS released two CDs of original music, "Exile on Fremont Street" and the all-acoustic "Broken Record". The SINNERS' music video, "Goin' To Vegas", received the 32nd annual Telly Award and the track "Numb" was nominated for an AVN award for "Best Original Song".SEBASTIAN BACH, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH Bassist Perform PRIEST Classic With SIN CITY SINNERS

Gary Rubin has more job titles than Ryan Seacrest. He's the new chair of the Baltimore County Chamber of Commerce, the VP for University Advancement at Towson University, and—wait for it—an accomplished lounge singer. We add Grill subject to the list.
What is the best advice you ever got?
"Whenever you get overly concerned with what people might be thinking about you, remember: Don't flatter yourself, they're not thinking about you."
What is your guilty pleasure?
Old Bay fried chicken wings.
So the Chamber of Commerce is not just an old white boy's organization anymore?
In no way. All you have to do is look at our membership, our mission, our geographical reach, and the faces around our board table.
How has Towson University weathered this recession?
By getting out the message that every dollar counts. We've also used all the social networking sites that help us communicate with our alumni and friends. More importantly, since 80 percent of our grads stay in Maryland, we legitimately can say we are the "workforce engine" for the region.
How did you get the nerve to first sing in public at the age of 60?
After singing in the shower for 40 years, I figured it was about time to live my dream. I said to myself, "What is the worst that can happen?" Also, I believe the older you get, the more chances you can take and should take. Life is way too short.
Any stage fright?
Minimal. Any nerves I have are really part of an adrenaline rush before I go on. Also, I truly believe that audiences want you to do well and are rooting for you.
What's your act like? Is there . . . patter? Do you wear velvet?
I refuse to wear velvet. There is patter, about the songs, why I chose them, and about my life.
Is it true your singing has raised over $40,000 for the university?
Yes, the three concerts I've done at the university have raised over $40,000 toward three endowed scholarships.
What do the students think of your alter ego?
I don't know how many of them know, but those who do seem to think it's cool. Also, the kind of singing I do has gained a new audience of younger people—a return of "Rat Pack cool."

Common Questions about Comparison Rates
Click on a question to view the answer
- Why would you tell me if one of your competitors had a lower rate?
- How do you determine comparison rates?
- How do I know these comparison rates are accurate?
- What companies are included in the comparison rates you provide?
- Why are rates unavailable for certain companies?
- Will you include my current insurance company in your comparison rates?
- What information might cause my comparison rates to change?
- Why do I get more than one rate for some companies?
Why would you tell me if one of your competitors had a lower rate?
Consumers have said they want insurance shopping to be easier, so we help you compare rates for Progressive Direct with rates for other top companies on our Web site. In fact, you can see comparison rates other shoppers receive when you view the rate ticker on our home page.
How do you determine comparison rates?
Each state generally requires auto insurance companies to file their rates publicly. We program the filed rates for various insurance companies into our comparison rating system. We then use the information you provide about your vehicle, yourself and other drivers on your policy to calculate comparison rates. We do this to help you better understand what the other companies would charge you for an insurance policy.
Back to TopHow do I know these comparison rates are accurate?
We check regularly with each state's Department of Insurance to see if any of our competitors have changed their rates. If rates have changed, we obtain the new rates, reprogram our systems and retest the rates. If we find that a competitor has changed its rates and we think we may have given you the old rates, we will send an e-mail notifying you of the change.
What companies are included in the comparison rates you provide?
Companies are selected based on their share of the national or state market. We do not review rates for every company in the market. There may be insurance companies not represented in our comparison rating service that might offer you a lower rate. Also, Progressive Direct rates may vary from the rates you'll receive from an agent or broker. To check the rate for policies sold through agents and brokers, go to ProgressiveAgent.com or click the "Find Agent/Get Agent Quote" button. We encourage you to shop around for insurance.
Back to TopWhy are rates unavailable for certain companies?
Insurance companies may update their rates in each state several times a year. When they do this, we must reprogram their rates into our system and test those rates for accuracy. During the time required to do this, we make those competitor rates unavailable to consumers.
Another reason may be that you are not eligible for a policy from that company. If we know that you do not meet a company's eligibility requirements based on the information you provided, we will not display a comparison rate for that company.
Will you include my current insurance company in your comparison rates?
Although your current insurer might be included in our comparison rating service, we will not provide you with a comparison rate for that company. The rates we provide are for new customers, not customers who are renewing their policy. Renewal rates differ from new rates, based on discounts and other renewal incentives the company may offer. Because we cannot provide you with an accurate rate that includes those discounts, we will not provide you with a rate for your current company. You should contact your current insurance company directly to obtain your renewal rate.
Back to TopWhat information might cause my comparison rates to change?
Sometimes, the comparison rate we provide for an insurance company may not match the rate you would receive from the same company. A number of factors could be involved in the change of your rate, including:
- Additional discounts: You may qualify for additional discounts from one of our competitors. Because we cannot confirm the eligibility rules for these discounts, we don't reflect them in the comparison rates we provide to you. You would have to contact that company directly to see if you are eligible for any additional discounts. An example would be a discount for having multiple policies (home, life and auto) with the same company.
- Driving record: Your rate was determined, in part, based on the information you provided about your driving history. If your actual driving record is different from the information you provided, your rate may change when a company obtains your motor vehicle report.
- Revised rates: Insurance companies may update their rates in each state several times a year. We regularly test the rates of our competitors to ensure their accuracy. Once we obtain updated rates, program them into our system and verify them, you can visit our Web site again to obtain new comparison rates.
Why do I get more than one rate for some companies?
Insurance companies that you may know by a brand name often use a group of companies to provide different insurance programs. These programs may reflect a difference in the way driving record, claims history and credit history are factored in when determining rates. You may not be eligible for all of these programs. For example, if you have a DUI on your record, an insurer may accept you, but only in the company that specializes in higher-risk drivers because you meet the underwriting requirements of that company. Likewise, if you have a spotless driving record, an insurer may accept you and place you in their company that specializes in lower-risk drivers.

Abstract: It is shown that carbon fuel cell technology can be combined with that of high temperature steam electrolysis by the incorporation of carbon fuel at the cell anode, with the resulting reduction of the required electrolysis voltage by around 1 V. The behaviour of the cell current density and applied voltage are shown to be connected with the threshold of electrolysis and the main features are compared with theoretical results from the literature. The advantage arises from the avoidance of efficiency losses associated with electricity generation using thermal cycles, as well as the natural separation of the carbon dioxide product stream for subsequent processing.

Format A Hard Drive Using Disk Utility (which is in your /Applications/Utilities folder) Choose the appropriate format: HFS+ (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
NTFS (Windows NT File System)
exFAT (FAT64)
FAT32 (File Allocation Table)

What would be your recommendation ?
Changing the file system ? if so to what ? All movies are no bigger than on average 1.4Gb each or less |

Good move short term.
I have seen a few mock drafts with Jarvis Jones falling into the 15-20 range, mainly because of a neck problem I think. I still think its a no brainier that we will draft a CB in the first round, we have only shown interest in Grimes so far, and have other guys on the radar as well... essentially no good corners at the moment. I would love to take Jones or Austin in the first though, but CB is the glaring hole on the team right now.... it can be helped if we pressure the QB.
Is anyone visiting miami today? Maybe jeff needed a day of sleep after cleaning up.
Well, he agreed to take a pay cut with the Broncos to $8million/year... Michael Bennet got a 1 year/$5million deal, so I would expect Dumervil to command about $6-7mil/year. I wouldn't mind doing a 2 year/$14million deal like the Seahawks did with Cliff Avril (2 year/$15million)... then next year Starks could be let go, Odrick pushed inside (or pushed inside now), and the salary cap doesn't have both Starks and Dumervil on it.
Offer him Cam Wake money or leave it. You cant let these players dictate to you. Cam Wake is his equal.
FA: Eugene Monroe, Zach Strief, Brent Grimes, Nolan Carroll, Chris Clemmons
1. Zach Martin OG/OT
2. Bishop Sankey RB
3. Donte Moncrief WR
4. Cauron Reid DT
5. Chris Watt OG
6. Crockett Gilmore TE
Trade down if possible and still get your guy
Cut Soliai and Patterson, Get Dummervil and Grimes, Draft Star Lotulelei, Trufant CB, Bayley WR, Escobar TE, best T on the Board with our other 3rd and a G with our 4th, Lattimore RB with our 5th...there, fixed
