Independence Day Fun Food Facts
by Brenda Alesii
posted Jul 2 2014 3:17PM
Who doesn't love an Independence Day that falls on a Friday?
I know I do and a big part of the USA's birthday celebration this long weekend centers on food for my family, friends and me.
Thought you might enjoy chewing on some food facts as you fire up the grill and proudly fly the red, white and blue:
Our fellow Americans consume 20 billion hot dogs a year. More are eaten in July than any other month of the year, which is why it's no surprise that July is National Hot Dog Month. On the 4th, the biggest hot dog day of the year, 155 million hot dogs will be eaten,
enough to stretch from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., more than five times!
leads the pack when it comes to the state that consumes the most dogs and pork sausage on July 4
; it's no surprise that the billions of pounds of cattle and calves raised in
means most of our beef hot dogs, streaks and burgers come from the Lone Star State.
Nearly half of the baked beans we eat come from
North Dakota,
big producer of dry and edible legumes annually.
My family and I crave corn on the cob slathered in BBQ sauce and thrown on the grill.
Florida, California, Georgia and New York
in total produced most of the sweet corn. Nice to know the Empire State gets in the mix.
Nearly all of the
ketchup was made in California
, but I much prefer hot sauce, mustard and relish on my grilled goodies.
Sunshine State leads in watermelon
production. Nice to know the home state of the Miami Dolphins is good for something!

If you're not a carnivore and prefer a grilled carrot nestled in a roll (don't knock it till you try it), here are some other meatless alternatives that you can toss on the grill:
Pineapple rings,
topped with cinnamon and sugar
Portobello mushrooms,
with their meaty flavor and texture, these 'shrooms make a nice stand-in for a burger
similar to Portobello mushrooms in satisfaction
Sweet potatoes or yams
, terrific with butter, honey and cinnamon drizzled over them

Time to Plan the Gluttonous Graze at the 2014 Taste of Buffalo
by Brenda Alesii
posted Jun 19 2014 4:07PM
Thirty-one years and going strong, the annual city food festival that has become a signature summer event is on deck.
The nation's largest two-day
Taste of Buffalo
returns to Delaware Avenue and Niagara Square on
July 12 (11am – 9pm) and July 13 (11am – 7pm
); for the first time, the new lawn-fete style beer tent in Niagara Square will be open until 11pm on Saturday. Nearly a half-million hungry patrons are expected to converge on the downtown streets whether it's rain or shine.
"Fun by the Forkful"
will feature
60 eateries, including 17 new restaurants
, Coco-Cola, Labatt and Flying Bison beverages. The pricing is consistent from year-to-year: all items are priced between a buck and $4.
A trio of popular food vehicles: Lloyd's Taco Truck, RNR BBQ and Frank's Gourmet Hot Dogs. If you want to wet your whistle with some vino, seven wineries will be pouring some of their best from regional vineyards.
"You won't leave hungry with more than
220 culinary specialties
, ranging from Asian to barbecue to Italian to vegetarian to desserts," said Ann Hackett, 2014 chairman.
Live local music acts will be on hand for the two day feeding frenzy. By the way, it's possible to attend the festival and still eat a healthy diet. Did you know the Taste of Buffalo is the only food fest in the U.S. that requires all participating restaurants to offer a
healthy menu item
? Those samples are lower in fat, cholesterol and sodium.
What else is new this year? The Family Freebie
: buy $50 in pre-sale food ticket at vouchers at tops and receive 4 free nonalcoholic beverages when redeemed for tickets at a Taste tent.

How Sweet It Is! Friday, June 6th is National Doughnut Day
by Brenda Alesii
posted Jun 5 2014 9:38PM
Here's another reason to love Friday. June 6th is National Doughnut Day, celebrated annually on the first Friday in June.
Many area shops are offering sweet deals on this auspicious occasion:
If you say "Happy National Donut Day" when you order, Tim Hortons will serve up one free doughnut with any purchase.
Same deal at Dunkin' Donuts if you purchase any beverage.
Check Paula's Donuts website for a free doughnut coupon with the purchase of a cup o' Joe. The company plans to donate 50 cents to the Salvation Army for every dozen doughnuts sold on the 6th.
Tops has a BOGO special: get a free six-pack of doughnuts for every six-pack purchased through Saturday.
As you munch away, here are a few crumbs of dougnut to trivia to chew on:
The Salvation Army established the first National Doughnut Day in 1938 as a fundraising effort during the Great Depression.
During WWI, Salvation Army volunteers, "Sallies," offered pies to the soldiers but realized they weren't practical to make on the road. Donuts could be made on a camp stove.
The original doughnuts didn't have holes, but were the size and shape of walnuts. That's how the name was created.
Wonder how "Munchkins" were named at Dunkin' Donuts? "Munchkins" after the Wizard of Oz characters, figuring the kids would opt for the holes while adults would choose the whole treat.
Just a reminder: The "Brenda's Bites" radio show is heard every Sunday from 10:30 – 11am on ESPN 1520 on the AM dial.
This Sunday, our guests are Lou Billittier and John DiSciullo from Chef's Restaurant talking about their new "Garage Pizza" and Jerod Thurber from Leonard Oakes Winery. If you have guest or topic suggestions, drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com or call me at 716-843-0651.

National Hamburger Day Served Up Next Week
by Brenda Alesii
posted May 21 2014 4:50PM
Mark your calendars for National Hamburger Day on Wednesday, May 28
. I think it's fair to say that the unofficial Burger Day may be happening even sooner—this Monday on Memorial Day.
As you prepare for the unofficial start of summer, let's fire up the barbie and chew on some fun facts about this American staple:
Did you know…
Hamburgers are the most popular food to grill at 87%, followed by steak 83%, chicken 78%, and hot dogs 76%?
The 4th of July is the largest barbeque holiday, followed by Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Why is it a "ham" burger? The answer is simple: the first hamburgers were made in Hamburg, Germany.
Americans reportedly placed the first cooked beef patty on a roll at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1921.
Ranking #1 among all restaurants with 26,000 stores in 119 countries, McDonald's serves billions of hamburgers worldwide. McDonald's has sold 12 hamburgers for every person in the world.
On average, Americans eat 3 hamburgers a week.
60% of all sandwiches eaten are hamburgers. THAT leads to another question: I don't consider hamburgers a sandwich. Do you?
Just a reminder: The "Brenda's Bites" radio show is heard every Sunday from 10:30 – 11am on ESPN 1520 on the AM dial.
This Sunday, our guests are Ted Hawley from New York Craft Malt and Athena Tsembelis and Vivian Klentos will discuss the upcoming Greek Festival .

Food for Thought: New Restaurant & Festival on the Scene
by Brenda Alesii
posted Apr 9 2014 4:10PM
Lots of Downtown Doings
"I gotta fall in the love with the building," proclaims John Stage, owner of the wildly popular
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que
Make no mistake about his affection for the former Universal Pictures storage facility on Franklin Street, a bone's throw from the theater district in downtown Buffalo.
Stage, a New York City native, has been searching for a suitable location for his restaurant for 10 years. As the city, and the downtown area in particular, continues its rebirth.
Open daily with a staff of 120, Stage's restaurant has been one of the most in demand for as long as I can remember. Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is huge in Syracuse and Rochester, drawing in thousands of hungry people in search of quality food served up in a casual setting.
At the Buffalo location, Stage said he has four BBQ pits and cooks every dis fresh, which "eliminates reheating."
When my husband and I visited on a busy weeknight evening, we perused the surprisingly large menu, ranging from Small & Shared Plates to Pit Plates and Sides to Custom 'Que, Combinations and Sandwiches.
After Dan and I chowed down on the filling appetizer—shrimp boil, deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes and wings--he dug into a Brisket & Chicken Combo while I was intrigued by the Smoked Broccoli Reuben, made with smoked broccoli, BBQ sauerkraut, melted Swiss and mayo.
I'm still dreaming about that sandwich! I also enjoyed the Black-Eyed Greens on the side.
If you fancy some suds to wash your 'que down, there are 18 beers on tap, including five local Buffalo beers.
Welcome to downtown Buffalo, John Stage and company. So glad this Dinosaur isn't extinct!
This Saturday is National Grilled Cheese Day, reports our friends at Yelp. Several downtown eateries cheese it up the right way: big, gooey cheese-filled sandwiches melted with everything from apples, spinach, tomatoes among the countless combinations. The Melting Point, Fables Café and Blue Monk all got rave grilled cheese reviews.
And, let's raise a glass to the Buffalo Wine Festival, happening this Saturday from 1 – 4p.m. and 6 – 9p.m. at the Buffalo Convention Center. Regional vino from 30 NYS wineries will be available to sample.

Celebrating the Feast of St. Joseph
by Brenda Alesii
posted Mar 18 2014 4:56PM
If all that St. Patrick's Day celebrating left you green around the gills, you may not be ready for the next celebration.
Just two days after the wearin' and drinkin' of the green, many Italian-American families
St. Joseph's Day
, on March 19, a unique tradition
celebrated with food and donations to the needy.
In Christian religions, St. Joseph is known as the spouse of the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus. Through his intercessions with the Lord, Sicilians were saved from famine.
I've seen many celebrations with people from all religions and ethnicities that celebrate the day by creating a big altar--S t. Joseph's Table—covered with food contributed by everyone dedicated to the saint.
Adorned with bread in the shape of a cross, other typical dishes include
typically include meatless recipes: minestrone soup, pasta with breadcrumbs, fish, lentils, stuffed artichokes, breads, sfinge (think of a ball of puffed fried dough with powdered sugar), honey balls, and fava beans and an orange.
Why fava beans?
They're considered lucky because the fava bean crop thrived while other crops failed during the drought. Many feast tables are decorated with a stalk of lily blossoms, votive candles and a lace cloth.
Many area restaurants, churches and community centers will be feeding the masses on the 19th:
Gigi's Cucina Povera, Templeton Landing, Ilio DiPaolo's, Frank's Sunny Italy, Militello's, Tappo, The Armory, Sinatra's among others
Several celebrations benefit needy families in the community.

Gangway for Gluttony: Cruising for Foodie Adventures on the Water
by Brenda Alesii
posted Mar 11 2014 4:33PM
One of the best things about vacations is eating and drinking whatever want whenever I want. Earlier this month, we embarked on a Royal Caribbean cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale. We headed to Belize and Cozumel, praying for warm weather and sunny skies and lots of quality food choices.
I started out with dessert for breakfast, feasting on a delicious platter of candy—dark chocolate, cocoa sticks, sweets drenched in rich fudge, to name a few. Goes great with that morning cup of Joe!
Each day and each meal, we had a veritable cornucopia of choices, many with a creative flair.
Some of my favorite dishes included the seafood salad, a pair of unusual soups: banana rum and roasted peach and another uncommon breakfast item: kippers and potatoes with rye toast and eggs.
We checked out daily the smorgasbord of choices as well. While not a buffet fan in general, I was pleasantly surprised by the wide range of choices in the ship's dining rooms, including an array of ethnic choices—Indian, English, Japanese, Italian. We discovered that the food reflects the ethnicities of the passengers and crew, who hail from all corners of the globe.
The ship is a virtual floating city, which had me wondering how many pounds of food the staff produces to feed some 5,000 hungry crew and passengers. I got my food-stained hands on some fun food facts:
-125,000 meals are prepared per week, including 60,000 appetizers, 84,000 main courses 69,000 steaks, and 90,000 desserts
-13,000 pounds of beef, 8,000 pounds of chicken and 1,400 pounds of lobster are consumed each week
Also consumed per week:
-86,400 eggs
-1,500 pounds of coffee
-600 pounds of berries
-18,000 pounds of potatoes & 18,000 slices of pizza
-8,000 gallons of ice cream
-8,500 cans of beer
-11,500 cans of pop
-2,900 bottles of wine
A full running track circles the 12
deck and an enormous fitness center is available on the ship. It happens to be located on the 11
deck, also the location of the ship's largest dining room. Someone has a sense of humor!

NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) -- The State Department consul assigned to Nogales and Puerto Penasco, Mexico, says the recent travel warning issued by the federal government is not meant to discourage Americans from visiting Mexico.
Chad Cummins said that while some areas of Sonora should be avoided, the State Department is merely advising U.S. citizens to "exercise caution" while visiting the border city of Nogales and the beach resort of Puerto Penasco, also known as Rocky Point.
Exercising caution is the same thing someone does when crossing the street or when going out at night in a big city, Cummins told the Nogales International (http://bit.ly/wyX4rS ).
The federal government is not telling people to stay out of Mexico, Cummins said. "That is not the purpose of this travel alert," he said.
Instead, the warning is meant to share the travel rules for consular personnel in Mexico with the general public, and offer a look at conditions on the ground as seen by State Department representatives there, Cummins said.
The travel warning was issued Feb. 8 and expands previous State Department warnings for Mexico to include advisories for all 31 states and the federal district of Mexico City.
The section on Sonora notes that Nogales and Puerto Penasco are the state's major travel destinations in Sonora. It advises Americans to "exercise caution when visiting the coastal town of Puerto Penasco" and recommends that travelers access the beach town from the border crossing at Lukeville, Ariz.
The new State Department warning tells travelers that "Sonora is a key region in the international drug and human trafficking trades and can be extremely dangerous for travelers."

Still I dance
to some tune coming down from other

It does not quiet long enough
for me to hear the song that plays beneath....
My song.
How do I silence that old noise
What strength, what courage must I show?
Some say take to the hills and live alone
and the only sound you will hear will be that of the song that
struggles to reach you.
Others say the incessant noise is the song...
the only song.

truly I know the song but
dare not sing it.

Monday night we found out Chase Headley will miss all of April due to a thumb injury. Corey Brock reported the following:
Bad news on Padres">#Padres 3B Chase Headley. He has a small fracture in left thumb. Could miss a month.
Bad news on Padres">#Padres 3B Chase Headley. He has a small fracture in left thumb. Could miss a month.— Corey Brock (@FollowThePadres) March 18, 2013
A few things are clear following this news:
- I'd move Headley down quite a bit on my draft boards. He was a big question mark coming into the season as everyone was eager to see if he could repeat his 2012 power output, but this injury removes any optimism I may have had in his ability to reproduce his 2012 numbers. You weren't going to find Headley on any of my 2013 rosters, but this injury might let him slide far enough down drafts where I could consider drafting him. If he falls outside of the Top 120, I might consider taking a look while snagging a guy like Jeff Keppinger late to fill in for the time being. I plan on conducting some mock drafts today and report back with where I see him going now.
- Logan Forsythe should have the full-time gig at 3B. He's a solid defender at the hot corner and should have no trouble holding down the spot until Headley returns. Forsythe will likely bat second, behind Everth Cabrera and in front of Yonder Alonso - not a terrible spot.
- Jedd Gyorko is now firmly entrenched at the keystone. Gyorko earned the spot through his performance this spring, but this injury should allow him more leeway if he struggles early. I'll be excited to see what he can do with this opportunity.

Jordan Marie Shaver will have to serve at least 20 years before being eligible for parole in the execution-style murder of Brian B. Geddes.
Fourth District Ada County Judge Timothy Hansen followed the sentencing recommendation of prosecutors. Shaver's defense attorney recommended a life sentence with a minimum 10-year term.
Shaver pleaded guilty in December to second-degree murder. She shot Geddes in the back of the head and hid his body, wrapped in a comforter, beneath his Garden City home. The body was found Nov. 2, 2012, but police believed he was killed two weeks earlier.
Geddes' adult children, Brennan Geddes and Aubray Geddes, got suspicious when they hadn't heard from their father. They confronted Shaver after finding her in their dad's home near the Greenbelt and told police she ran off.
Police later located Shaver outside a store. She was found with Geddes' cell phone in her possession.
Shaver told police she accidentally shot Geddes when he fixed her handgun and it discharged while he handed it back to her, according to court records. But an autopsy showed that the gunshot to the back of Geddes' head came from a gun that was pressed against his head.
Authorities said Shaver and Geddes were romantically involved, but Geddes' family says he was just trying to help a woman who said she had nowhere to go. Prosecutors said Geddes and Shaver met when he came to her aid after she was attacked by her boyfriend.
Court records show that Shaver was evicted from an Ada County apartment less than three months before Geddes was killed.

Oracle's third-quarter revenue rose 4 percent to $9.3 billion while net income increased 2 percent to $2.6 billion, buoyed by growth in new software licenses and cloud subscriptions as well as a long-anticipated rise in hardware product revenue.
Hardware systems product sales, which had declined steadily since Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems, were up 8 percent to $725 million in the quarter ended Feb. 28, while hardware systems support revenue increased 5 percent to $598 million. New software licenses and cloud subscription revenue rose a combined 4 percent to $2.4 billion.
[ Find out what topics and issues affect tech's biggest names and news makers in the IDGE Insider CEO interview series. | Read Bill Snyder's Tech's Bottom Line blog for what the key business trends mean to you. ]
Software license updates and product support revenue jumped 5 percent to $4.6 billion.
"Oracle Cloud Applications and Engineered Systems are both rapidly growing, billion dollar run-rate businesses," Oracle Chief Financial Officer Safra Catz said in a statement. The company has focused its marketing efforts on such systems, which include the Exadata database machine, while de-emphasizing sales of lower-margin commodity servers.
Oracle's engineered system line is experiencing rapid growth, "while throughout the industry traditional high-end server product lines are in steep decline," Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said in a statement.
Profit margins on engineered systems fell slightly, but that was due to the fact that Oracle is "packing more memory" into the latest models without raising prices, Catz said during a conference call Tuesday. However, Oracle makes significantly more money from the many Oracle software licenses customers load onto the systems than from the hardware itself.
Oracle will cross the 10,000 mark in sales of engineered systems over the next few months, Ellison said during the conference call.
While engineered systems revenue growth has been strong since Oracle launched the first Exadata in 2008, those sales represented a relatively small percentage of total hardware sales until recently, Ellison said. Now, engineered systems account for more than 30 percent of hardware product sales and soon will cover half, he said.
Meanwhile, Oracle's quarterly cloud application revenue "is now approaching $300 million," company President Mark Hurd said in a statement. "All of our strategic Cloud Application Suites, including Fusion Enterprise Resource Planning, Fusion Human Capital Management and Fusion Customer Experience, posted triple-digit revenue growth."
Oracle recently launched release eight of Fusion Applications, which first became generally available in 2011, Hurd said during the call. The release includes some 1,000 new features, and Oracle plans to roll out a similar number in release nine, which is due later this year, he added.
The company is seeing strong growth in "organic Fusion," and not just from the application companies it has acquired more recently, such as Eloqua and Taleo, Hurd added.
While Fusion offers customers the option of both on-premises and cloud deployments, the trend has been "cloud, cloud, cloud," Hurd said.
Cloud subscription contract sizes are growing as well, with more than 65 seven-figure or eight-figure deals in the quarter, according to Hurd.
He chalked up Oracle's SaaS (software as a service) revenue growth to experience.
"We thought we knew a lot a year ago, a couple years ago," Hurd said of Oracle's cloud strategy. "We just know a lot more now."

Deerhunter headline with Crystal Stilts kicking things off.
DeerhunterWebster Hall (125 East 11th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003) Map it $20
There's no denying that Deerhunter have been one of the best things about underground music in the past decade, and that leader Bradfod Cox is as much an indie rock visionary as anybody. If for some reason you haven't figured all that out yet, the Atlanta band make it to Webster Hall tonight, touring behing "Monomania," an album that might possibly be the band's most lo-fi output yet, but one good enough that it earned an 8.3 at Pitchfork. Opening the show will be Brooklyn surf/psych mainstays, Crystal Stilts, a band that could fill plenty of local clubs on their own.

The materials used in today's pneumatic tires are designed to act in concert with construction features to provide optimum durability and balanced performance for the expected service conditions. The proper combination of compound formulations and structural reinforcements is crucial for successful tire operation. These materials and constructions must then be processed efficiently within the tire factory beginning with mixing, continuing with extrusion and calendaring, and ending with vulcanization.

Government regulations, industry standards, customer specifications, and marketing requirements directly impact the ultimate design (and consequently the performance level) of all tires especially original equipment and aftermarket passenger car tires. Discussed in this part of the course are:
- The current state of regulatory affairs in the US, Europe and Japan governing tire safety and the environment;
- The design trade-offs often inherent in meeting sometimes conflicting rules and regulations;
- Different markets, different tires?
Tuesday, September 09, 2014
9:00–16:30 (Lunch 12:00–13:00)
Dr. Gerald Potts
Today's pneumatic tire must serve four functions: (1) support a moving load; (2) generate steering forces; (3) generate driving and braking forces; and (4) provide isolation from road irregularities. In examining the complex mechanism involved in satisfying the four requirements participants will study the tire¹s importance in determining overall vehicle performance; for no matter what level of complexity is designed into a vehicle, its only communication with the road is through its tires.
- Basic Functions
- Lateral Force Tire Models

By AMANDA GRAY
Zombies invaded Goshen's New World Arts theater Sunday — and they will again, starting Sept. 21, when "Revenants," a play by Scott T. Barsotti, begins a three-weekend run.
Auditions were held for the play at 2 p.m. Sunday at the theater. Director Laura Gouin said she picked "Revenants," which focuses on characters Karen and Gary and their experiences as their zombiefied spouses are chained to the basement wall, because it fits in with the "End of the World" theme for this theater season.
"When you think of different things that can end the world, a zombie apocalypse is one of them," she said. "It's a fun, bittersweet love story — that also happens to have zombies."
Gouin, who has worked with NWA since 2003, will be moving to Chicago soon. She said she sees directing this play as her "fun swan song."
"This play is more like what I typically gravitate to," she said. "It's a dark comedy. That's most true to life — in our darkest places, that's where humor lets us out. That's how we use humor."
The play will speak to those who follow zombie lore, Gouin said, especially the lore that sees zombies as a critique of societal practices.
"The play speaks to society, and the degradation of society," Gouin said. "NWA has always chosen plays that speak to a deeper message, and this does that."
Brittany Gardner-Kennel said she feels the message of the play, and that it's not really about zombies.
"It's more about the relationship between Karen and Gary and their journey through the whole thing," Gardner-Kennel said. "They're struggling to understand if their infected spouses are still alive in some way. I fell in love with it."
Gardner-Kennel said she has been involved with NWA productions, either acting or directing, for the last five years.
"This play is something great to ponder on," she said. "It makes you ask, 'What do relationships mean?' It's messing with what our perception of consciousness is, and what makes us human and separates us from being just instinctual."
Michael Kennel also auditioned Sunday, and he said people may be attracted to the play because of zombies, but may get more than what they came for with the drama and story line.
"The zombies are more of a backdrop or looming idea than anything else," he said. "The linchpin of the show is on relationships and living with regrets, about not letting opportunities pass you by. It's a bit of a tragic love story."
Beyond the zombies present in this play, zombies are also playing a part in the current fundraiser for a lift chair for the theater, according to Gouin. Zombie Apocalypse Survival Kits are currently for sale for $100, with all of the proceeds going to put in the lift chair.
"The kit would help you survive for about a week — as long as you run fast," Gouin said with a laugh. "We just delivered our first batch, and we're currently taking orders for our second batch."
Gouin said anyone interested in helping out with the show or theater as a volunteer, or anyone else who wishes to audition, can contact her via email at email@example.com. Learn more about NWA at www.newworldarts.org.

A proposed change to leases at Plaza Fiesta Carolinas in Fort Mill has some vendors concerned about the future of the shopping mall, which was reborn as a destination for the region's growing Hispanic population in recent years.
The lease agreement, which was circulated last week, allows tenants and landlords to terminate a lease after Dec. 31, provided they give 30 days written notice to the other party.
Some vendors at the mall, which is also known for its specialty shops and large indoor playground, said they're not going to sign the agreement.
"They said you can break your lease if you want to, but I don't want to break my lease," said Gold Y owner of 5 Star Nails. "If they kick me out, OK, then I'm out. But I'm not leaving on my own."
The Observer spoke with seven vendors at Plaza Fiesta over the course of a week, all of whom expressed some concerns about the mall's future, especially because of the lack of foot traffic during the weekdays and turnover in ownership in the last several years.
Cheryl Baizan, chief financial officer of the mall's current owner, Miami-based Rialto Capital Management LLC, declined to comment on the property. Observer calls to Rialto's general counsel Liat Heller were not returned.
Last week, a representative from the Nichols Co., which does all leasing for Plaza Fiesta, visited the various vendors to deliver the addendum. The Nichols Co. and company owner John Nichols did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Louretta Wall, Plaza Fiesta's property manager, said she walked around with the representative because most of the vendors are more familiar with her.
"there are business transactions going on above me," she said, declining to provide specifics.
"But everyone's leases are still active," she said. "I think a lot of them are panicked because of the uncertainty of this property."
Wall added that she's continuing her regular activities, noting that the mall plans to put up its Christmas tree overnight on Thursday so it's ready for shoppers on Friday. And Santa Claus is expected to visit Dec. 15.
"Nobody's trying to clear this place out or anything like that," she said.
Wall estimated that tenant numbers are in the 60s. That's down from about 120, according to a 2009 Observer story.
Garth Dunklin, an Charlotte area attorney who is not involved with Plaza Fiesta but who specializes in commercial real estate, said an addendum to a lease that might seem like a big deal on its own might "turn out to be rote and really nothing at all" when considered within the context of the original agreement.
And Wall said that the addendum may even be beneficial for some vendors on long leases because it means they can get out of their contracts earlier if they want to.
But several vendors said their leases have expired and they're operating without any official contract with the Plaza Fiesta property manager.
Plaza Fiesta, which is near Carowinds and visible from Interstate 77, has 253,914 square feet of space, according to Andrew Jenkins with KARNES research group. A recent flier advertised that 57,000 square feet were available for leasing.
Jenkins placed the vacancy rate at Plaza Fiesta between 11.8 percent and 22.4 percent. He said he gave a range because he isn't sure he has received the most up-to-date information from Plaza Fiesta.
Referring to ownership changes over the years, he added: "To be fair, it's gone through several transitions."
In comparison, other locations with the same "community center" label across York County had a vacancy rate of 5 percent during the second quarter.
Ownership changes
The facility also has had several owners over its lifetime. It originally opened as CrossRoads Mall/Outlet Marketplace in the mid 1990s. Then in 2007, Capital City Development of Atlanta purchased the struggling property, planning to create a Latino-themed shopping center.
Houston-based Boxer Property managed Plaza Fiesta for more than a year, after the shopping center went into foreclosure. The lender, BB&T, hired Boxer to run it after taking control of the shopping center.
Then in 2011, Miami-based Rialto Capital Management LLC purchased the property for $6.35 million, public records indicate.
Karla Loaiza, who has owned Best Buy Soccer in Plaza Fiesta for nearly six years, said many vendors have grown disenchanted. The mall used to draw large crowds all week long with the help of such celebrations as Mexican Independence Day, but traffic has dropped off during the week.
Still, the shopping center draws major crowds on the weekends, with parents attracted to the Happy Zone, the largest indoor playground in the Carolinas.
Gold Y, who owns the nail salon, said she is frustrated with the uncertainty around the mall, especially given that she has invested thousands of dollars creating her nail salon.
Given that, Y said she doesn't have any intention of leaving anytime soon. Instead, she plans to keep a close watch on some of the mall's anchors, such as the Bass shoe outlet.
Crystal Hollingsworth, a manager with Bass, said the store has heard rumors around the significance of the addendum. But, she added, "until we hear something from corporate, it's business as usual."
Staff researcher Maria David and staff writer Ely Portillo contributed.

Updated 2:38 p.m. ET
Hall of Fame OLB Lawrence Taylor was officially declared a sex offender and must register as such after receiving his sentence on Tuesday from a judge in Rockland County Court in New York. Taylor pleaded guilty in January to sexual misconduct and patronizing a 16-year-old prostitute.
Taylor will avoid jail time due to his plea, but he was placed on six years' probation as well as having to register as a sex offender.
"He never wanted to tarnish his image," Taylor's lawyer, Arthur Aidala, said. "Mr. Taylor readily accepts responsibility."
A judge will decide on April 12 which level of offender the former Giants star is, as sex offenders are tagged as Level 1, 2 or 3 for low, medium or high risk. The Associated Press quoted a New York state spokesman, who said the obvious difference is that Level 1 offenders do not have their names and photos posted on a public Internet site.

Dominic Massa / Eyewitness News
Gov. Bobby Jindal, in New York and speaking to network television reporters after Tuesday night's presidential debate, said that despite improving his performance in the second debate, President Barack Obama cannot defend his record.
Making his first appearance in a post-debate "spin room," Jindal spoke to reporters from CNN and Fox News from the campus of Hofstra University, site of the debate. Earlier, Jindal tweeted a photo of himself giving interviews to reporters.
When asked after the debate by CNN reporter Jim Acosta whether Republican nominee Gov. Mitt Romney won the debate, Jindal replied "absolutely."
"President Obama spent exactly no time at all speaking about any specific plans for a second term," Jindal said. "Look at all the broken promises," Jindal said, referencing a voter question during the debate which asked the President why he should be re-elected. Jindal pointed to what he called the president's "broken promises" on the deficit, economic turnaround, and health care.
Jindal admitted that Obama performed better in this second debate than the first.
"I'm sure his advisors told him drink all the Red Bull and caffeine you can. The problem is not his oratorical skills. The problem is his record. You can combine the speaking skills of Presidents Reagan, Lincoln and Winston Churchill…and you still couldn't defend his record."
Jindal, who has campaigned frequently out of state for the Republican ticket, also chose the debate's exchange over the consulate attack in Libya as one of the evening's high points for Romney.
"The president owes us a clear explanation of what happened there and to make sure it doesn't happen again and to make sure we get the perpetrators."
But in the CNN interview that comment from Jindal led to a question about one of the more dramatic moments of the debate, and the candidates' clashing over the Obama administration's explanation for the attack that left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead. Romney questioned whether Obama had called the attack an "act of terror" rather than "spontaneous" violence that grew out of a protest against an anti-Islam video.
"The president used the word act of terror generally, didn't apply it specifically. Let's go back and look at what the White House said," Jindal said. "When you actually look at the transcript (of the president's Rose Garden address), and not only that, look at the speech he gave to the United Nations several days later, he referenced the video on YouTube six different times. We've heard three different explanations from the White House," Jindal said.

This is about giving you the skills to access your own business brilliance. Because only I can run my business. And only you can run yours.
That's a six-month investment of time, energy and elbow-grease, to set you up for a consistently profitable (and enjoyable) coaching practice.
Crack open your day-planner and jot down each of our 36 live tele-classes, led by yours truly and 22 of my favorite teachers: master coaches, business strategists, branding + marketing experts, social media mavens, writers and virtual tribe-builders.
The BEST of my world — lining up to rock yours.
All classes are recorded, in case you can't make it. And you can always submit questions for me and our guest teachers via email, in advance.
But that's just the first wave of wisdom, sister friend. Because …
Each tele-class lays the groundwork for a GENIUS strategy session-meets-slumber-party in Savannah, Georgia.
Uh-huh. You heard me: a 3-day girl-powered weekend retreat in my very own hometown.
Date: To be announced
Prepare for an epic weekend of relaxation, fun (the kind of 'fun' you used to have before you started stressin' about marketing your coaching practice — ha!), and stuffy-free, non-boring business planning.
All of us around a table, kicking back, cutting up, making history. What happens in Savannah, stays in Savannah. (Or on Facebook!

Davis and Elkins dedicated a pair of athletic facilities this weekend.
Saturday the college dedicated it's new soccer field, Nuttall Field to Alumni and Trustee Bill Nuttall.
Nutall and Hank Steinbrecher led the committee that raised $600,000 needed to install the turf field.
D&E President Emeritus G.T. 'Buck' Smith said Nutall was a symbol of dedication and teamwork during the project.
A plaque at the field reads:"Nuttall Field is dedicated to the glory of God and in gratitude for the generous spirit of those who made it possible."
"I'm humbled, honored and undeserving," Nuttall said.
The field will also house D&E lacrosse.
On Friday the college dedicated it's pool, after its roof collapsed in the spring of 2012.
The school raised more than $900,000 to replace the Hermanson Center's roof.
The pool was named after former Elkins' businessman George A. Myles.

"Muddy. Muddy. Very muddy," said Estell Peoples.
That's what residents of South Pittsburg saw all over the streets and their homes Thursday morning after flash flooding Wednesday night.
But long-time resident Estell Peoples has never seen it like this. "It's awful. Because it had never got up in our cars or washed all this away or over yonder. It never did it. But this year, this time it's really hit," said Peoples.She lives on Pine Avenue near the creek that runs down South Pittsburg Mountain. Peoples and other residents believe recent clearing on the mountain made this flash flood the worst they've ever seen, sending rocks and mud straight into the city.
Thankfully Peoples' car still runs so she can take her husband, Harold, to dialysis treatments. And their dog, Daisy Mae, also stayed safe. "By the grace of god we're still here. And our house and everything. Our house is still here and I thank him for it," said Peoples.Her neighbor across the street didn't get quite as lucky. While water and mud didn't get into Cecil Long's home, it came close, reaching onto the front porch.
Water got into his family's vehicles, too, which had to be towed out of the mud. Long became concerned when the water began moving fast. "We had to hold onto each other to keep from being swept around the house," said Cecil Long.
"I can't swim, so it was scary," said Long.He was able to sweep water off the porch once it began receding. Long says it'll take some time, a lot of elbow grease, and a good shovel to clean up the yard.
"It'll probably take a couple months to get all this out," said Long."It could've been a lot worse," said Long.

Wow!! Charles, Bless You !! I see you went to a great extent to bring us this info. Thank you!! Now I'm going to check every bit of it out and get back to a comment. Thanks again Brother. LOVE TO YOU LOVE ANGEL
Thank you so much Angel Irene Crim! I spent ages trying to find parts 8, 9 and 10, but they are not available anywhere! They must have had some very important messages for them to be removed like that! I wonder if anyone managed to save them before they were deleted?
The Dark Cabal always demonizes a country when they can't control and manipulate it. It is always the opposite of what they say. The true Axis of Evil is the Controllers of Britain, Israel, America, Italy and France. It has nothing to do with the General People of those nations, only the Evil Rulers.
Pay attention to these while you can, because yor media will not tell the truth often.
Yes Japan was provoked when their honor was disrespected. Do you know why Japan never attacked the Mainland? Because they were afraid. They believed there was a gun behing every tree. FACT!
America went into Viet Nam because they were told of the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Yet the fact is the Gulf of Tonkin attack never happened it was all a lie.
Have problems with this? Where are the weapons of mass destruction that took America into Iraq? They were never found because they did not exist. Yet your president Bush guaranteed they existed and then a few years later said he never said that. There is a video of him and many others saying just that!
Now you have Obama and he tols 7 lies in 53 seconds. Of course they were campaign promises. So I guess that is OK?
He says he is not a Muslim but he observes Ramadan but not wearing jewelery. Did anyone notice that?
Everything you have said is spot on Mike! I have even seen the Video of Bush lying through his teeth!
Obama is a Muslim, but his masters holding his leash are zionists! He has total loyalty to them.
Thanks for sharing Charles!
Very informative and very sad.
What stood out most was the Muslim Babies with bullet holes throughout their bodies and what happened to the Dolphins! Absolutely sickening!
Many Blessings Rosemary!
Yes, North Korea is so VERY CORRECT in their observation of Western Control.... trust
me, I do my extreme BEST to avoid tv, I don't GO SHOPPING except for what I absolutely
need to survive. I DO NOT own a smart phone and never will. I DO NOT support the wars in
ANY country and I DO NOT believe in most of the stupid rules and regulations that exist in
this country,and I am going to vote for RON PAUL because he is against WAR and for the
Right on Victoria!!! That is exactly how I feel too! If I could vote for Ron Paul, I would, but I am living in Ireland. I am sick of the control the Evil banksters have upon this world, only when they are stopped from having Usury, will their control upon the world fade! No more interest or Debt on Money!!! Hang the Banksters!!!
Oh.... and as far as RELIGION, I do NOT follow or practice any RELIGION. I DON'T believe
in anything man-made! I am a spiritual BEING... and living aspect of ALL THAT IS and am
ONE with ALL in the Multiverses.
I agree with you Victoria. I believe, but in my heart and I am also a spiritual being.
I don´t go to church and vehemently disregard the dogman in the Catholic church. I had enough of the Catholic church in the private, catholic schools I attended.
I don´t need a religion to believe. I belong to no religion, institution or such like where you are dictated to what to believe and what not. I feel free in my belief, free in my decisions and free to accept what I want to.
We are but a small percentage on this world that has become enlightened,
but I do believe more and more are waking up to what is the Truth. Let's
keep the focus on changing the paradigm of this world... the power of the
mind for the good of all is far greater than anything governments think they
can do.
Love and Light,
Yes, Victoria. Together we are strong.
Love and light

A new plan is progressing to offer flood victims up to ten thousand dollars in federal funds for their rebuilding effort.
The plan uses millions of Community Development Block Grant money to help homeowners in the city of Minot who are not in the footprint of the proposed flood control project.
Recipients will have to prove they rebuilt their flooded homes within a year of the flood.
And they'll have to provide receipts to show their expenses exceed any assistance they received, including grants and loans.
Nearly 900 people have applied for the funds - although there are many that don't qualify because they live outside city limits.
(Cindy Hemphill, Minot City FInance Director) "It's a little time consuming to go through...first thing is we determined whether they were eligible based on the type of structure, whether it is in city limits, if it's in the footprint, and then we'll have to contact each individual family or individual and determine duplication of benefits and all those types of things."
Hemphill says city staff members will be contacting applicants to begin the screening process as soon as possible.
Applications for the CDBG grants are being taken through the end of December.
Truck still considered to be a "vehicle of interest" in fatal crash.
A two-year-old child was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Minot this evening.
They ask if you have any information about the incident that you contact them at 852-0111.

4.28/5 rDev -2.7%
Cask at Pizza Port San Clemente.
The body is a dark chocolate brown, opaque with low carbonation.
The aroma isn't far from regular Infamous, which is to say that it smells great; vanilla is noticeable and highlights the sweetness of the beer, though dark chocolate is still dominant. The combination of chocolate and vanilla makes me think of vanilla cake with chocolate frosting.
The palate is quite rich and sweet, but there's a pleasant bitter kick that keeps the sweetness in check. Vanilla is present but not overwhelming, lingering beneath the dark chocolate and roasted malt. Somewhat syrupy in texture with low carbonation. This was served quite warm, but it worked fine for the beer. The finish has some coffee-like astringency, light burnt bitterness. Very enjoyable, though the 9 oz pour was sufficient.

4.6/5 rDev +4.5%
Was able to sneak away from the Hoptoberfest party upstairs and enjoy this amazing stout. 9 oz. pour served on cask into half sized shaker pint.
A: Black colored body that supported a brief light tan colored head. A few shakes of the glass showed off the beer's viscosity with each convective wave slowly swaying back and forth to each side. The lacing was subpar, or I could say average at best.
S: Vanilla and melted Hershey bars come to mind with the first whiff, along with a strong alcohol presence. Not as sophisticated as other world class imperial stouts, but makes it up with the a more robust quality.
T: Again, the three flavors consist of vanilla, chocolate, and alcohol. All the flavors are big and in your face.
M: One of the better cask "stouts" I've enojed in quite some time; creamy and thick, so yeah, basically perfect.
D: Even though there was some alcohol burn, I found myself going through this beer rather easily.
Overall: A great imperial stout; I hope they bottle it! A must try. Cheers!

4.22/5 rDev -4.1%
Pours black with no real head, just a thin skim of foam. I will admit to not being the biggest fan of cask ale, but I shall go in with an open mind.
I will buck my normal reviewing process and skip ahead to mouthfeel. First, the beer was given to me too warm. I don't want a 65-70 degree beer. Secondly, it's too flat. Yes, a heavy, viscous mouthfeel is nice, but this isn't THAT heavy ... it ain't Chocolate Rain for example. Carbonation would have livened it up and made those flavors pop.
It smells, and drinks, like a chocolate/vanilla alcoholic milkshake. Except not cold or that thick. The vanilla comes across as a whole bean aroma and flavor, not a fake artificial extract character such as one sees in cheaper offerings. Delicious milk chocolate, rich vanilla, some roasted notes (but very muted compared to the "normal" version).
Very good.

Residents of Lyman Terrace, a Holyoke housing complex that has long been falling apart, are finally looking towards a new future for their home.
Two years ago there were initial plans simply to demolish the old complex that was built back in the 1930s.
Tenants have been fighting ever since, and Wednesday night they got to speak one-on-one with the people potentially fixing their homes.
Boarded up windows are not an uncommon sight at Lyman Terrace, but this is a community that has been fighting to stay right here in downtown Holyoke.
"We were in a nightmare but we woke up out of that nightmare and we've been struggling these two past years," said President of Lyman Terrace Patricio Mattei.
Residents painted a mural on an abandoned apartment as a reminder of why they didn't give up two years ago when they were first told they would have to live elsewhere and these apartments would be torn down.
"Lyman Terrace is being rebuilt for the children, which is the future of tomorrow," said Luisa Jusino.
For months, Lyman Terrace tenants have been meeting with Holyoke Housing Authority officials to keep the community together.
Wednesday night the residents met with three potential developers and voted on the one they think is the best fit for Lyman Terrace.
"The three groups are proposing a rehabilitation as opposed to demolition and reconstruction," said Executive Director of the Holyoke Housing Authority Matthew Mainville.
Beacon Community Services, Better Homes Inc. and The Community Builders are all vying for the $30 to $35 million project.
"They're offering us the better homes we deserve," Mattei said.
Thursday the housing authority will have formal interviews with the three developers.
They hope to begin securing state funding for the project by the spring of next year.

Our sincere sympathy to Mr.Herrara's family. Racing is an American Pastime that is exciting as well as beautiful to watch. The connection between a horse and rider is a silent bond to be respected. As any Horeman will tell you, every time you ride any horse, not just in racing, there is a risk involved, but we take it in stride to mount up and feel the relationship of (wo)man and the nobel horse. Mr. Herrara died doing what he loved. How many of us can say that? R.I.P.

Why doesn't Valley Care provide emergency medical service?
A business for profit decision?
Like their closing the Emergency Room in Livermore, seems like they are not here for us, either. Livermore residents worked and raised the money to build what was then the Valley Memorial Hospital.
But it is no longer a hospital, and it seems they have forgotten what the Memorial part was for.
Apparently we don't have a hospital that is good for emergencies like this closer than Eden?

I was at that race and yes saw the horse come through the finish area, without a rider. Everyone including me looked around the race track and didn't see anything. We all hoped the rider was OK but because it happened all the way across the track and the people in charge didn't say how he was... we could only pray. Two other ambulances raced to the fairgrounds as I was leaving, it was the last race. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family and all who touched his soul ~ I hope the Fairgrounds do something special for him today, in his honor, and to pay respect to all those who place their lives in harms way, not only as a job but as a passion in their lives ~
