15 Cool Designs Inspired By Tetris
Tetris has remained, and will always be one of my favorite games of all time. I almost feel bad for the creators of Tetris. Not because they came up with an amazing concept but do you realize how hard it is to match it? In fact, what the hell have these guys created beyond Tetris?
Turns out good old Alexei Pajitnov has done very little. He did some stuff on Yoshi's Cookie, and helped design Pandora's Box. He worked for Microsoft from 1996-2005 and now? Probably just collects residuals.
In any event, no one can deny the effect Tetris has had, and here are 15 examples of how….

That pushed the Pacers' lead to 72-61 with 8:07 to go in the period, and they maintained their edge throughout.
"We had to let the game come to us in the third quarter and play aggressive defense," Stephenson said.
George hit a 16-foot, pull-up jumper to give the Pacers their biggest lead, 105-89, with 2:15 to play.
The Pacers shot 53.5 percent in beating the Nets for the third time this season. They outscored the Nets 14-2 in the paint in the decisive third quarter and 20-6 in the second half.
Vogel credited Hill with much of his team's success, saying, "I thought George Hill was our best player tonight. He played exceptional defense on Deron Williams, and every time we needed a big basket or timely play, he made it."
The Nets continue their difficult three-game road trip with games in San Antonio and Oklahoma City.
The first half was close throughout, with eight lead changes and five ties. Indiana shot 54 percent before halftime and the Nets made 50 percent.
NOTES: With three 3-pointers, George moved past Austin Croshere into seventh place in franchise history and sixth in NBA history with a total of 378 in his career. . The Nets have been outscored 86-60 in the third quarter of their three games with the Pacers this season. . The Pacers allowed just five offensive rebounds, tying their season low.

My name is Daniele, I am a new intern at Web Courses Bangkok and am emailing to say we love your Surplus theme and I was hoping you have the time to do a quick 10 Q&A interview with us.
Our agency side used your website for www.waste2resource.org and we found the coding and design to be very easy to work with and we hope that with your interview we can inspire our trainees to start making quality themes like yours.You can see some examples of interviews here on our website: http://www.webcoursesbangkok.com/
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sure. I would be glad to do that. Please contact me via my profile page so we can converse via email.
Hi WPExplorer,
You've designed a great theme. It works easy and fast.
I have only one question: Is it possible to give the portfolio-items a Titel in the overview modus (such as Staff overview). Because now you see only the images without the product titel
Thank you for the purchase and also the kind words.
Unfortunately not by default – usually if I have something like that I would showcase it in the demo. You'll have to get dirty and edit the template files.
best wishes, AJ
Hi WPExplorer, one question about your nice theme. At contact page I think there are missing space between description and box in the form. Is that correct? If yes, I would like to change it. Please tell me how?
Thanks for answering. Werner.
Seems that the latest version of Contact Form 7 screwed them up a bit. You can add the following css:
.wpcf7-form input{ margin-top: 10px; }
To give them some margins.
Hello, i've buyed the theme, and then i realized that there are no PSD archives! Is there any place to download them? Thanks
The theme doesn't include a PSD because it's 99.9% CSS , so creating a PSD before designing isn't necessary. Is there a particular graphic you require changing?
thank you for the purchase, AJ
No, ok! I just need to know wich typography is used in the theme?
The default Typography is Arial for PC users and Helvetica Nue for Mac users.
I hope that helps you. Again thank you for the purchase, you have been very understanding!
Sorry. Headings are "Droid Sans" : http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Droid+Sans
Wow, I really love your theme, WP Explorer, absolutely brillant by its simplicity !
I have one pre-sale question: do you think it's possible without too much hassle to replace the slider on the home page by a parralax one ?
Can we hire you if we need to tweak the theme a little bit ?
Best regards, RadCon
Nous adorons créer et mettre en ligne de beaux sites internet sur la toile.
Glad you like it.
In terms of how hard it would be to replace, it really depends…Depends on if you are replacing it with a slider that's a WordPress plugin or if you are intending on manually adding the new slider. Also going to depend on your level of expertise.
I am currently unavailable for any custom work. Sorry. So this is something you would need to do on your own.
Thank you for this reply AJ.
I was thinking of a very nice Parallax Slider plugin sold here on TF. Should be easier. I'll do it with one of my colleagues if you're not available.
Maybe leave a comment on the plugin developer and see what they say. Maybe they could help you integrate it
thank you for your interest!
Is there a way to get my home-tagline to display on every single page and/or select pages?
Thank you!
You will need to edit your templates. This is how you would echo it out though – http://pastebin.com/ig6kK8hC
thanks for the purchase, AJ
And to do this for the slide show as well?
Thanks again.
You'll have to edit your template files. Take a look in index.php you'll basically want to take the code to get the slides and the code to echo out the tagline outside of the "foreach loop" and put them at the bottom of header.php.
Hey i bought your theme! Nice how all the options are so clean and simple. But still, i'm a newbie at wordpress. I installed wordpress and the theme with no plugins or anything. But i can't upload a simple jpg. It says:
"Header.jpg" has failed to upload due to an error Unable to create directory /sites/haarlemmeezingfestival.nl/www/wp-content/uploads/2012/07. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
Than, i tried to put everything in the www folder to permission 777, and then I could upload an image. But i can't leave everything at 777. What could this be? At google i only found stuff like that it's probably a plugin that causes problems, but i have no plugins installed.
You should be able to set your folders to 755 and it should work. But it really depends on your server. You might want to ask your server. For example on my Media Temple dedicated server I need to actually use SSH to chmod my directories for it to work correctly with WordPress. I suggest contacting your host and see if they can help. Leaving the permissions at 777 is not good.
thanks for the purchase, AJ
I have a question about inserting a multi language plugin. I would like to put the language choice on the homepage (on the header for exemple). I use the default homepage and i don't know how to do that. It 's very easy to put it on the sidebar on the other pages, but i can't insert it on the homepage. Do you know how to do that ? Thank you for the help !
(i use the plugin qtranslate)
I don't have any experience with qTranslate, but I do know they have something called "quicktags" do those work for you at all?
Thanks for the answer ! I've found how to put the language selector anywhere (by adding this code : <?php echo qtrans_generateLanguageSelectCode('both'); ?>). BUT … i have a problem with the HOMEPAGE . I can't find how to create several versions of the homepage (english, french, etc.). Is there a way to do this ? OR is it possible to create a page (from the page menu) with the same characteristics as the home page (like highlights and tagline) ? Thank you,
Forget my questions, i've just understand now what quicktags means and how to use it Thank you for your help,
Oh great!
I have bought your theme today and really love it, however there is something weird going on with the navigation for my tags and categories.
I keep getting 404 errors or the links go to odd pages they shouldn't.
Have I done something wrong?
I haven't touched the categories or tags since swapping to your theme and assumed they would all just blend across.
Thanks, Rach
There shouldn't be any issue with that. Re-save your permalink settings (Settings -> Permalinks) to see if that refreshes them.
if you continue having issues, please open a ticket:http://www.wpthemehelp.com/
Hi AJ,
I like your theme!
I am currently configuring the theme for an older demographic. The client wants the fonts larger, making them easier to read.
The question I have is with the width of the child links in the main navigation. They seem to have a fixed width and I'm not sure how to make the width size to ensure my child page names don't break into two lines.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Correct, they have a fixed width via css. You can increase it easily…here is a drastic example:
.sf-menu ul { width: 600px; } ul.sf-menu li:hover li ul, ul.sf-menu li.sfHover li ul { top: -999em } ul.sf-menu li li:hover ul, ul.sf-menu li li.sfHover ul { left: 600px; /* match ul width */ }
thank you for the purchase, AJ
Hi again,
Thanks for that and it worked
I was just wondering, I would like my blog post featured images to just be whatever size image I upload instead of the uniform image for each post. Is there a way to easily change that?
Saw your message above that you've solved this, thanks for letting me know!
Hi – I worked it out – sorry to bug you! Rach
Oh ok great! Thank you for letting me know
Is it possible to add a video (YouTube/Vimeo) as one of the homepage slider slides?
I have not enabled video support on this theme's slider. Sorry ;(
Is there any way to link to a URL in the Title and Image in the Content Slider portion? Great work. Thanks.
Yes. The "Content Slider" simply echos out anything inside the post editor for that slide. In the demo all I've done is added an image aligned to the side then an h2 title and text. All in the post editor so you can easily add an image by clicking on the image and selecting the link in the WYSIWYG toolbar and entering your link. For the heading you highlight it and do the same.
Hello, love this theme, quick question before i purchase. It is important that I am able to customize the bottom bar with widgets, icon links, etc. Is this possible with Next? I am also considering the need for an online form customers can fill out, fill in the field, click the circle. Doable here? Thanks so much -E
You say… with "next". Are you commenting on the wrong theme?
On this theme the footer region is a widgetized area. And for any forms you should look into using a plugin. I recommend Contact Form 7 as a free solution.
Hello, I have a few questions about using your Surplus theme:
1) How can I show multiple FAQ categories on a page? (shortcode string?)
example: Faq category 1 (I would like to add a category heading to the page then feature the items) -item 1 displayed -item 2 displayed -item 3 displayed
Faq category 2 (I would like to add a category heading to the page then feature the items) -item 1 displayed -item 2 displayed -item 3 displayed
2) Is their a way to have the portfolio items on the homepage display in a random order upon page reload?
3) I need to change the Services page template to display full width. How do I do this (what code and where)?
Thanks for your help! The theme is working great…
1. There is no shortcode for this built-in. You can have a look at "template-portfolio-toggle.php" for an example on how to loop through a custom taxonomy so you can create a FAQ 's template that does the same or a shortcode as you mentioned.
2. In includes/home/portfolio.php or blog-portfolio.php (depending on which module you are using) you'll want to add an ordery by parameter and an order parameter (using rand) to the get_posts function arguments – http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts
3. You need to edit single-services.php. First add the classname "full-width" to the div with a class of "post". Then remove the get_sidebar() function near the bottom.
thanks for the purchase, AJ
Thank you for the response!
2) Would you mind telling me exactly what string of code (and where in the file) I need to add. I know just enough PHP to be dangerous I would really appreciate it! It is an important function for my client.
3) Done. Worked great, thanks.
New question: In what file are the labels for the custom post types that show in the backend? ie: change Services to Newsletters (just the label)
I figured out the coding for getting the homepage portfolio to order by random so I do not need help here, but I do need to change the height of the images in the portfolio. Where would I find the setting for the homepage (portfolio) and the portfolio with filter?
The height of the portfolio images would be changed in functions.php line 39:
add_image_size( 'grid-thumb', 230, 180, true );
The second value of 180 is the height attribute. After changing this number you need to either re-upload your portfolio images or install and run the "Regenerate Thumbnails" plugin.
how do i change the font type for all my menus and headings etc? thanks
Either via custom css or a plugin.
Additional question:
4) How can I have the FAQ items display in alphabetical order?
Open template-faqs.php and on line 51 add an orderby parameter with a value of "title" so that the the args look like this:
'post_type' =>'faqs', 'numberposts' => '-1', 'orderby' => 'title', //ADDED THIS LINE 'order' => 'ASC', 'tax_query' => $tax_query
I am having a problem with the contact form 7 plugin with your contact page shortcode template on this theme.
For some reason, with or without the google map, the text in the form is being overlapped by the form boxes: http://annarbormoves.com/contact-ann-arbor-relocation-services/
How do I fix this?
I checked in the other comments and added the CSS you suggested:
.wpcf7-form input{ margin-top: 10px; }
and it worked.
Oh great Thanks for checking the comments!

Chinatown information
Lonely Planet review
Directly south of the Arab Quarter is Surabaya's Chinatown, with hundreds of small businesses and warehouses. Its historic buildings are crumbling and the streets are crowded and none-too-clean, but it's loaded with atmosphere. Becak and hand-pulled carts are still the best way to transport goods through the narrow streets. Pasar Pabean is a sprawling, darkly-lit market where you can buy everything from Madurese chickens to Chinese crockery.
Further east near the canal, the highly evocative Kong Co Kong Tik Cun Ong temple is primarily Buddhist, but has a variety of Confucian and Taoist altars – if you can see them through the plumes of incense smoke.

TravelPod Member ReviewsAirotel Parthenon Athens
We only had 2 nights in Athens and booked this hotel on the net after researching many using Trip Adviser and other reviews. This is a great hotel in a great location. The service was first rate and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Breakfast was included and there was a nice variety and plenty of it, both hot and cols buffet style. The room was comfortable and clean and we would definitely stay there again. I give it 5 Stars *****

Historical Traveler Reviews Airotel Parthenon Athens
Great hotel for seeing Athens
Hotel Parthenon is in an excellent location, one block from the Acropolis Metro station and right across the street from the entrance to the Acropolis. It provides an excellent location to explore the Plaka, Monastiraki, Psiri and Kolonaki districts on foot, or by metro, if you're more inclined.
The hotel and rooms are very clean and well-maintained. Rooms are not overly spacious, but have everything needed, including a mini-fridge.
Breakfast is served buffet style in a large room (used as a restaurant later in the day) and has a wide range of hot and cold items, with something to suit every taste.
A great advantage of the Hotel Parthenon is that it's quiet, so you don't need to be concerned about which side of the hotel your room is on. It's located on a quiet residential street, and the street at the end of the block is limited to pedestrians (motor cycle accessible).
Ideal for the Plaka
Our taxi driver hadn't heard of it but that was the only problem. Warm welcome at the Desk, and very helpful. Rooms clean, ideal size for a short stay. Pity they have the TV on - loud - in the bar, otherwise this a perfect place to stay if you want a reasonably priced hotel in easy reach of the Plaka. We had to leave for the airport (checked in electronically from the hotel) at 0600. Breakfast doesn't start till 0700, so they opened the resturant for us at 0530 for a light meal, coffee etc. Don't know how they took the photo of the hotel, it bears no relation to the place itself, but would stay there again.
Very Satisfied
First off, getting to and from this hotel couldn't be easier, as it is right next to the Metro (Acropoli station). The location is fabulous; the Acropolis is right around the corner (literally). The rooms are clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The location and cleanliness make this place great value for the money.
Nothing but nice things to say....
I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights during a trip to Greece. I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel. First, the location..... it is located on Macri street, a 5 minute walk from Temple of Zeus and a 10 minute walk from the Acropolis. The metro is right around the corner and the shopping/restaurant district of Plaka is 2 blocks away. Second, reception..... the receptionists were were nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. Reception answered all our questions and helped us book our tours. One receptionist even went as far as telling us that while the hotel exchange rate is lower than most, we may be able to find even lower rates. Third, the hotel itself...... marble, lots and lots of marble. Marble in the lobby, in the elevator, in the rooms, in the bathrooms, just everywhere. It gave a sense that the hotel really cares about its customers. My only drawback was the view from the room. We got a room in the back of the hotel, so the view from the balcony was that of a building across the street. However, because I didnt come to Athens to hang out on the balcony, this was not an issue. I highly recommend this hotel if you wish to stay in a good hotel and in a great location for sightseeing.
Beware they may give away your room
My boyfriend and I booked this hotel off of Expedia as we wanted to spend a night in Athens before our leave to the Islands the following day. We landed in Athens at 2am in the morning on the saturday therefore we had to actually book 2 nights accommodation, however really only a day and half, but this doesn't bother us as we expected this from any of the hotels. When our very rude taxi driver pulled up at the hotel, we were helped with our bags and welcomed into the hotel only to be told that they did not have our room due to technical problems and are moving us to another hotel which is indeed better. At this time it is now going on 4:30am in the morning so we are very tired and cranky and really don't understand why they wouldn't have told us this before exiting the taxi. We were now waiting 15 minutes for another taxi to arrive.
To make a long story short, we were moved to the Herodian, which is a lovely hotel, with a roof terrace over looking the acropolis, so all in all we were satisfied. As for the Parthenon hotel they should work on how to deal with International guests, and make circumstances like this run more smoothly.
Great Location/Deecent Hotel
My friend and I stayed here for 3 nights in April 2005. We booked it at the airport as it was the best way to get discounted rooms. They have last minute deals at a desk on the first floor/arrivals area. We paid 74EURO/night. It was easy to get to the Acropolis subway station from the airport by train. Don't take the bus. It takes way too long. We had to change trains once and then it was one stop. We asked the station attendent which exit to use and then we walked two minutes to find the hotel. The view from our room was nothing great but we could see a slice of the Acropolis if we leaned off the balcony which we thought was funny. The location was great for the Plaka Area and other sights. We never needed a taxi and we only used the subway twice. We had a room with a double bed at first and it was too small and really hot so they put us in a room with 2 beds and that was much, much better. I'd ask for the room with 2 beds again. The bathroom was large and very, very clean and the water pressure in the shower was the best we had in 16 days in the Greek Islands. It was a welcomed treat. The breakfast was decent and nothing special. The usual mid-range hotel selection and quality. The fresh squeezed orange juice in the bar was great (not free). We will stay there again next year when we leave the islands if it is available when we arrive at the airport. I could not find a cheap 4-star room in or near the Plaka area on the internet and that is why I waited until we arrived in Athens because I knew that there was a desk there that offers rooms on the arrival day heavily discounted. It was worth it. Not sure if I would believe the reviewer from 2003. I wish I had read the review before my review as I never knew that there was a roof terrace! Oh well, maybe next year!
Friendly staff and convenient location
We really enjoyed staying here - the hotel was recently refurbished and our room was huge and lovely for the price we paid.
We also found that the staff were very helpful and keen to make recommendations when asked.
While the hotel is not on the most picturesque of streets it is literally metres from the Acropolis metro station and is right at the base of the Acropolis, making walking to the ancient monuments easy and straightforward. You can see a great view of the Acropolis from the roof terrace as well.
I'd stay here again if I was visiting Athens!
Not as described
The photo of the hotel at the Parthenon web site is grossly misleading. The hotel is cramped between other buildings which have been wiped out on the photo to make it look as if it is free standing in a sunny location. The hotel is well located, but the side street of the hotel entrance is one-way, extremely narrow and no parking facilities. The taxi from the airport had to reverse up the street and could not get near the hotel entrance. When we rented a car, there was nowhere to park it. Inside, the entrance area is huge, to cater for large groups, but most of the time, this area is deserted. The rooms are as shown, a bit cramped. The balcony is very small, no chairs and none in room to take outside. But you wouldn't want to sit on the balcony as there is nothing to see. The balcony is directly opposite balconies from the opposite apartments. A reasonably priced hotel for one night stays, but if you want a hotel with a good restaurant, it is no good. The restaurant was not open for evening meals and the included breakfast was so so. I wouldn't want to spend a week at this hotel. Service at the front desk was good, pleasant and good English spoken. I left a suit in the room and it was kept safely until I returned for it, two weeks later.KB

Demonstration Days Schedule for 2014
Our monthly Demo Days have been so popular (over 600 turned out in November!) that we have decided to expand the series in 2014.
We will be having two Demo Days each month, on the 2nd and 4th Saturday. (Please check schedule for exact dates for each month). Each event has a theme, which Dr. Simeone will discuss in the presentation that begins promptly at Noon. Then, we take selected cars from the collection out for a run on our back lot (weather permitting).
Please go here for complete details and schedule. Or, you can download our brochure by clicking on the photo to the right.
Classic Motorcycle Show Runs Through Sept. 12th
This years Classic Motorcycles at the Simeone will be celebrating Vincent/H.R.D., Brough Superior And Pre-1974 250cc and under motorcycles. The show opens on August 16th and runs through Friday, September 12th. The bikes then move out to the Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance on Sunday, September 14th.
The show will launch with a Kick-Start party on Saturday, August 16th. Matthew Biberman, author of Big Sid's Vincati will be our Special Guest/Featured Speaker.
Complete information and a link to order Launch Party tickets are here.
Dr. Simeone Knighted By The Italian Republic
On June 12, 2014, the Italian Republic conferred the title 'Cavaliere ' (cavalier or knight) to Fred Simeone for his contributions to healthcare and education. Dr. Simeone was Professor of Neurosurgery at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, he was the creator of the Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience, the author of hundreds of medical articles and seven textbooks, and he trained scores of neurosurgical residents and fellows.
At the ceremony were (from left) John A. Fry, President of Drexel University; Joseph V. Del Raso, President of the National Italian American Foundation NIAF; Michael DiBerardinis, Deputy Mayor of the City of Philadelphia; Frank Giordano, former President of the Union League, President and CEO of Philly Pops; Joseph H. Jacovini, Attorney at Law at Dilworth Paxson; Andrea Canepari, Consul General of Italy in Philadelphia; Fred Simeone, Founder of the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum.
The 2013 Spirit Of Competition Award Honors Hurley Haywood
Three-time Le Mans winner Hurley Haywood received the sixth annual "Spirit of Competition" Award on November 20th, 2013, at a gala fundraising dinner at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum. Past recipients of the award include Mario Andretti, Janet Guthrie, John Fitch, Craig Breedlove and Sam Posey.
Bill Warner, chairman of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, introduced Haywood. The 2013 Spirit of Competition Award presentation was sponsored by Wilkie Lexus, Haverford, Pa. Additional sponsors for the event included Hagerty Insurance and RM Auctions.
Haywood has won Le Mans three times (1977, 1983, and 1994) and has a record five wins at the 24 Hours of Daytona and won Sebring in 1973 and 1981. He also represented IMSA in the International Race of Champions in 1986, 1989, 1992, and 1995. He is currently chief driving instructor at the Porsche Sport Driving School and he is the driving force behind Brumos Automotive.

Simeone Preservation Book Wins International Award
At their annual meeting in London on November 14th, The International Historic Motoring Awards (IHMA) selected the Simeone Automotive Foundation's The Stewardship of Historically Important Automobiles as recipient of "Publication of the Year." In the book, Dr. Frederick Simeone, along with other noted contributors, presents the case for adopting a new standard for the care and conservatorship of significant automobiles.
"We are honored to have our book receive this award," said Simeone. "Because only one award is given from among a very large number of candidates and wide variety of publications, makes this a very special recognition. We feel it is a reflection of the growing importance of preservation within the collector car industry."
Go here for more information and to order the book.
Simeone Mobile Phone App Now Available
The Simeone Museum now has a mobile phone app that features over four hours of audio on the cars and exhibits in the collection. Dr. Simeone narrates the tour, which includes fascinating details about the history and the significance of each car.
The Simeone Museum mobile app includes 86 stops on the tour, each accompanied by a photo of the car or venue, and a brief text description. The audio length varies for each stop, but averages several minutes.
The mobile app is free and is available for either Andriod phones (Google Store) or iPhones (Apple Store). To find the app, just search for "Simeone Museum."
Please let us know if you like it and if you see anything that can be improved. The app and content takes about 120 mb of space. It should take about 3-5 minutes to download with a 4G network.
Vintage Amoco billboard Added To Sebring Exhibit
Right over the door leading to the Annex we've added a beautiful, original 1950s billboard promoting Amoco gasoline and the Sebring 12 Hour race.
This billboard is like one that would have appeared throughout Florida in the weeks and months before the race. It was donated to the museum by Lex duPont and came in 12 sections that would have been assembled onto a roadside billboard measuring about 10 feet by 22 feet. Curator Kevin Kelly and his volunteer crew spent days flattening the folded sections with an iron and aligning them perfectly before attaching them to the backing board.
For an idea of what this poster looked like in the time, on the right is a photo from the Loyd Sandgren Collection of the McLanahan Amoco Service station located at Main Street and Beaver Street in Jacksonville, Fla.
At the bottom of the billboard is the line, "Don't Miss 12-Hour Grand Prix for Amoco Trophy…Sebring, Florida. Sat., March 23rd. This would be the 1957 race which was won by a Maserati 450S co-driven by Jean Behra and Juan Manuel Fangio and the second place finishing Maserati 300S similar to ours co-driven by Stirling Moss and Harry Schell.
So, the next time you're visiting the museum, be sure to look up when you're at the Sebring exhibit. You can pretend you're driving through the orange groves on Highway 27 on your way to Sebring!
Special Museum Package For Car Clubs
The Simeone Automotive Museum is the perfect destination for car club outings. We've put together a special package for clubs to make your event memorable:
• Reduced admission for your members
• A car of your choice from the collection on display

For more information and to book your car club, please call (215) 365-7233.
Adopt-A-Car And We'll Put Your Name On It
We have a new program where you can adopt one of the cars in the Simeone Museum. (No, you can't take it home!) You will get your name on the car placard and we will give you your choice of a matted photo of you next to the car, or a matted Michael Furman print of the car. Plus, you will become a Patron Member of the Museum.
Cost to adopt a car is $500 and is good for one year. For more information, visit the membership section of our Web site, or call Amanda at the Museum.
"Motorweek" Segment Profiles Simeone Museum
The MotorWeek segment featuring the Simeone Museum is available for viewing on the Web here. Roger Mecca and his crew came here for our July Demo Day featuring "Ferrari Beaters": the Porsche 917, Ford Mk IV, Cobra Daytona Coupe and the Aston Martin DBR-1. This was also our largest turnout for any Demo Day yet – 500 spectators. MotorWeek is the production of Maryland Public Television and is the longest-running (30+ years!) automotive show on television. Thank you, Roger!
The Simeone Museum has joined forces with the AACA Museum in Hershey, America on Wheels in Allentown, and the Boyertown Museum in (guess where?) Boyertown to offer the Pennsylvania Motor Pass – a discount coupon good for $1 off up to six adult tickets to each venue. You can pick up your free Motor Pass discount coupon in the lobby the next time you're here.

Andy Richter Feels Pretty Good About Jay Leno's Slumping Ratings
"I don't want to wish ill will on anybody, but I would be lying to you if I said it didn't feel a little bit fun to hear that -- that there wasn't some kind of feeling of reward in that," Richter told the New York Post. "It is kind of vindicating in a way."
Richter and O'Brien will get their own shot at ratings glory on Nov. 8, when 'Conan' debuts on TBS. But old feelings certainly do die hard, in this case.
"I think that one of the reasons we ended up leaving was because of their impatience with us," Richter said. " And I think that was a mistake on their part. So I had a hunch about that, and it is nice to have that hunch seemingly proven true."
Nevertheless, a fresh start couldn't feel any better to Richter.
"We are starting from scratch here. This is the first time that Conan and I are starting up a show where we weren't replacing somebody," Richter said. "So there are no footsteps to follow in."

I hate both of them. I scream whenever I see him on TV because he is so stupid.
This war with Jay was idiotic. People said Jay shouldn't take back "The Tonight Show" because it was Conan's dream.
Well hell, it was Jay's dream also. Why did he have to give his dream job up for a whining potty mouth idiot that acts like he is 13.
Andy is just pissed because they cancelled his show a LONG TIME AGO!
I PRAY they FAIL every day because they are cruel, hateful, and deserve NOTHING!
You pray everyday that they fail? Give me a break! Sounds like you need to find a new hobby.
Conan Nov. 8th!!!! woohoo!

Jay's ugly side. Are you INSANE? Why did Jay have to give up his DREAM JOB for that whining d**k? Why? You think his jokes are funny? YOU must be 12! Conan showed his ugly side from the moment he stepped on the stage at "Late Night".
I hope they fail. I hope you do too.
I stand by my statement that Leno showed his ugly side, and I think you just showed yours. How sad for you that you are filled with such bitterness.

Andy Richter is a jerk, he left Conan for a better career - where has it got him, No where = I don't enjoy Conan nor Andy. What a poor sport Andy is ranting about Leno when he had nothing to do with Conan's show back then. I don't see Conan's new show going anywhere, he is not as funny as he thinks he is....
- Monday 01 NovemberBy TB
Richter just isn't funny. Is there anything he's been in that hasn't failed miserably? He'll always be a "second banana" NO I take that back. He'll always be a lemon and O'Brien a big irish goof.
- Monday 01 NovemberBy Scootrbum
Oh yeah, pushing Lopez back an hour only to be pulled off the air when they are totally sucking in a few months and get pulled themselves. At least Lopez has a personality and is funny, these guys together or separately can't make it in the big leagues.
- Monday 01 NovemberBy Cheryl
All you nay-sayers will be surprised... Team Coco has a much larger following than you think! I'm guessing most of you are older. Their humor doesn't seem to appeal to old people. Go Conan!! Boo to Leno.
Agreed! :)
Conan's the best! and I can't wait til he's on my TV again!

Chapin's suspended clerk filed a lawsuit Friday against the mayor for defaming her character and retaliating against her for being a whistle-blower.
Adrienne Thompson, who has been employed as clerk for more than 13 years, alleges in the lawsuit that Mayor James "Skip" Wilson Jr. violated public policy by suspending her without council approval April 25. Two days after Wilson suspended Thompson, a press release was sent out stating her suspension is a result of a criminal investigation into allegations that she misappropriated town funds, made unauthorized purchases, had improper financial reporting, ethics violations, and nepotism.
Wilson requested the State Law Enforcement Division investigate the Town of Chapin on May 1. This investigation is ongoing.
"The charges against me are false," Thompson, 71, said in a statement Friday. "My mind is consumed with [Mayor Wilson's] accusations and knowing how hard I have worked and have tried to do so many good things to be condemned for accomplishing my crowning achievement is beyond my comprehension."
Thompson claims in the lawsuit that Wilson was targeting her before he was sworn in as mayor, acting "brashly toward several employees," including Thompson. She said Wilson made numerous demands to see the town's financial books, accountings and records, and "became vindictive" when Thompson said he had to go through the proper protocol and procedures as any town citizen in order to see the information.
After Wilson took his oath of office in January, Thompson said Wilson "did not want her working" for Chapin and "that she should leave employment quietly or that he would embarrass and humiliate her." In addition, Wilson told Thompson she "had outgrown her job," according to court documents.
The clerk claims it was at this time that Wilson then hired Communications and Economic Development Director Karen Owens to do many of the things Thompson has done for years. Owens was previously working with the Greater Chapin Chamber of Commerce.
"Former Mayor Stan Shealy and members of town council, who have worked with her over the years, can attest to her hard work, dedication, and the program which the town has made through the efforts of Mrs. Thompson and those who have supervised her and represented the town over the years," said J. Lewis Cromer, Thompson's attorney.
Thompson said her suspension came less than a month after she gave a written report April 1 to council at a town meeting, which outlined the issues she was having with the mayor. Court documents say this is retaliation for the clerk's action as a whistle-blower, according to a state Whistle-blower Act.
"Mayor Wilson has charged her with scurrilous false allegations, which have impacted upon her career, livelihood, and most of all, upon her reputation," Cromer said. "He has done so knowing that the charges were false and has pursued them anyway as a personal vendetta, not only has he tried to change the way the town is operated, but he has also acted to personally and vengefully cause Mrs. Thompson harm."
Thompson is requesting a jury trial and seeks monetary damages. She also filed charges with the S.C. Human Affairs Commission for age discrimination against Wilson.
WIS requested comment from Wilson, but as of this report, he has not responded.

SEMA 2010: Ring Brothers 1966 Mustang race car
Custom car builders are usually so busy with customer projects that they rarely get to build something for themselves. Fortunately, the Ring Brothers found the time to work on their own project, this beautiful 1966 Mustang. "It's actually our shop car," said Lauren Forseth of the Ring Brothers. "This was built for us – the first one in years, actually."
The design is more understated and subtle than many of their customer cars, mostly because they actually plan on racing the car. "We were going for the more racy design," Forseth told us. "This car is built to have fun on the track. We are really excited to beat on a car for once."
Starting with a clean '66 fastback, the Ring Brothers added a full carbon fiber roof, custom bodywork, Baer brakes, Forgeline 18-inch wheels, Magnaflow exhaust, custom one-off roll cage and Fuel Safe racing fuel cell. Under the hood is a 427ci V8 built by Keith Kraft putting out 602 horsepower that is mated to a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission. Of course, many of the custom billet pieces found in the Ring Brothers' parts catalog can also be found on the car.
You can see our photos of the Ring Brothers 1966 Mustang race car in the gallery below.

Deadline to schedule 'use it or lose it' annual leave is Nov. 30
Federal employees wanting to schedule "use it or lose it" annual leave only have a few days left before their excess vacation days are forfeited. The deadline to schedule excess annual leave is this Saturday, Nov. 30, Office of Personnel Management Director Katherine Archuleta reiterated in a Nov. 26 memo to agency chief human capital officers. The leave must be used by Jan. 11, the end of the leave year.
Sorry, your retirement date is extended 5 years!
Suppose Congress passed a law requiring you to work an extra five years? You'd be furious, right? Suppose, because you are just plain cheap, you forced yourself to work an extra five years? Guess what? It happens every day, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says.
Mass-transit subsidy, once again, set to decline
If Congress fails to act by the end of the year, a tax subsidy for commuters who use mass transit is set to drop from a maximum of $245 a month to $130. At the same time, fringe benefits for parking are set to rise to $250 a month starting in January. Two stand-alone measures in the House and Senate would restore parity between the parking and mass-transit subsidies

Dodd-Frank mandate requires CUs with more than 100 employees to file annual diversity self-assessments. NCUA will not use the exam process to assess diversity.
NCUA, other regulators considering new standards as mandated by Dodd-Frank.
Comment letters responding to an NCUA proposal to create a Dodd-Frank mandated Minority Depository Institution preservation program generally support the effort, but some question the costs and need to create a new program.
The African-American Credit Union Coalition said it "unequivocally supports" NCUA's proposal to create a Minority Depository Institution preservation program.
Lynette Smith watched the March on Washington on Aug. 28, 1963, on television. Then she was 7. Now she's a credit union CEO.
While the NCUA's Office of Minority and Women Inclusion was created to ensure diversity in management, employment and business activities, the two-year old division has much more room to have an impact.
WASHINGTON — Two credit union witnesses voiced disagreements over the impact the Dodd-Frank Act has had on their credit unions when they testified July 19 before the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
Contrasting views on Dodd-Frank impact at House hearing. See what the CUs had to say in this preview from our July 25 print edition.
Findings released this week as part of a Dodd-Frank Act-required report to Congress from the NCUA's Office of Minority and Women Inclusion.
At a recent credit union meeting when I raised the subject of the NCUA's recent proposal to permit credit unions to voluntarily prepay assessments, earning 0% interest with the agency, CEO heads were shaking. All in disbelief and all in response to the question, "Will your credit union be participating?"

California, Alameda County, Land Records (FamilySearch Historical Records)Edit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
|This article describes a collection of historical records scheduled to become available at FamilySearch.org.
Record Description
This collection contains deed records and indexes that are located at the Clerk-Recorder Offices in Oakland.
Record Content
Key genealogical facts found in this collection may include:
- Name of buyer
- Name of seller
- Name of spouse, heirs, other relatives, or neighbors
- Place of residence at time of purchase
- Occupation
How to Use the Record
To begin your search, it would be helpful if you knew the following information:
- Name of ancestor
- Place of residence before purchase
Searching the Images To search the collection you will need to follow this series of links:
⇒ Select the "Browse" link in the initial search page
⇒ Select the "County "
⇒ Select the "Record Type, Volume, and Date Range" which will take you to the images.
Look at each image one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
Using the Information
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Save a copy of the image or transcribe the information. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details such as a title or an occupation. Add this new information to your records of each family. These records may offer clues such as the given name of a spouse, a previous residence, names of children, or death information.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- Land records may offer clues to maiden names if a father deeded property to his daughter upon marriage.
- Witnesses and neighbors may be in-laws or relatives.
- It is important to trace the purchase and sale (or the acquisition and disposition) of each parcel of land your ancestor owned.
- Once a parcel of land was transferred from government to private ownership, it may have stayed in the family for generations or for only a few months. It may have been subdivided, sold, and resold, with each transaction requiring new records.
Unable to Find Your Ancestor?
- Look for variant spellings of the surnames.
- Look for an index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby counties.
|Don't overlook FHL Keyword California, Land and Property items in the FamilySearch Library Catalog. For other libraries (local and national) or to gain access to items of interest, see the wiki article California Archives and Libraries. For additional information about this state see the wiki article California.
General Information About These Records
Land records are primarily used to learn where an individual lived and when he or she lived there. They often reveal other family information, such as the name of a spouse, heir, other relatives, or neighbors. They may also include information about previous residences, occupations, military service, citizenship, and so forth.
Most of the states in the United States are public domain states, which means the federal government controls the land. In state-land states, however, the state government appropriates all land within its borders.

text: cluster developmentBig Sky, Small HouseBy Jenny Sullivan Photos: America West Realty Prime location: Situated at the tail end of a subdivision containing a mix of single-family and multifamily homes, Capstone condos are adjacent to a bus line and within walking distance of Target and Costco.If the backdrop for your neighbor–hood is the purple mountain majesty of the Rockies, it's sort of a crime to go drab with your color scheme. At least that's what Capstone Builders principals Justin Williams and Dave Rossmeier were thinking when they mapped out the plan for Capstone Condos, a 36-unit jewel of a project in their hometown of Bozeman, Mont.With its bright paintbox colors, crisp white trim, green sod, and breathtaking scenery, this fresh bouquet of modest homes paints a veritable travel postcard. Four three-plex buildings and six four-plexes are neatly clustered together and surrounded by a circular drive. The entire project was built and sold in one year—despite some tricky construction sequencing needed to stay on track during the cold season.Were it not for paving issues, eager buyers might have moved in even sooner. "In winter, you can't put in asphalt around here," Williams explains. "We generally anticipate that we are going to have at least four or five months of snow in a given year and plan accordingly. As long as we have the foundations in and sales contracts on the product, we can build right through the winter. So in this case, we tried to have everything else close to being done and sold so that when the asphalt plant opened up in the spring we were ready to go. Putting the road in was the last step." The first owners took up residence in March 2007.Photos: American West RealtyFor the singles and young couples who snapped up the majority of the units, color was undoubtedly a draw. So were plan layouts that placed garages between units to serve as sound buffers. What initially felt like a gamble for Capstone, which has always done more traditional single-family and larger attached homes, turned out to be a winning bet."You don't hear the neighbors, so you have your privacy, but there is also a camaraderie that has developed there," Williams observes, noting that almost all of the units are owner-occupied, and nearly every resident has turned out to be a dog owner."For single people who want to live in the company of others, there is a safety factor here as well," he says. "They all kind of look out for each other."Cost efficiencies were achieved by limiting the offerings to two basic floor plans. "The end units on the four-plexes have fireplaces, but the middle units do not," Williams says. "We gave people the option of different interior paint and trim choices, but otherwise we kept it simple."Photos: American West Realty NICE PRICE: Topping out at $187,900, the units are affordable, but not cut rate. Wood trim and bamboo floors add a bit of luxury.Modest though they may be in size (the larger end units are just 1,130 square feet), the homes are nicely appointed with features such as granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, wood trim, Trex decking, and bamboo and tile floors. "We don't ever put linoleum in any of our products," Williams says.Situated in prime territory for skiers and outdoorsmen, Bozeman has its fair share of vacation homes, but the overwhelming majority of buyers here were locals who use the units as their primary residences."These condos hit a niche market of buyers who were looking for high quality but not a lot of square footage," notes Jody Hester, a Realtor with America West Realty. And the mountain view is a freebie.

The FBI works to prevent mass shootings. Why can't Palm Beach County?
By Andrew Marra
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder's boasting that the FBI helped to prevent nearly 150 shootings this year by reaching out to mentally troubled potential gunmen sounds an awful lot like a plan proposed, then abandoned, early this year by Palm Beach County's sheriff. That's too bad for Palm Beach County, because the FBI's version sounds like it's had some success.
Holder recently told a gathering of police chiefs that a small FBI division called the Behavioral Threat Assessment Center had had luck in steering potential violent offenders toward necessary mental health care. The idea is to head off violent incidents before they happen, given that so many perpetrators of mass shootings had histories of mental health problems before acting out.
The FBI's team should sound familiar in Palm Beach County. This year, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw had planned to create three-person teams of deputies, mental health specialists and case workers to respond to reports about people in the area who seemed mentally unstable and capable of violence. The intent was that outreach could get them help they needed and steer them away from violent outbursts.
The plan faced some criticism over concerns about privacy, potential stigmatization of the mentally ill and team members' safety. But state lawmakers liked the idea enough to give Bradshaw $1 million in seed money to start up the program.
But then Gov. Rick Scott vetoed the money, and Bradshaw folded, dropping plans to set up the teams.
That was a shame, because the idea – while unconventional – was worth a try. It had the potential to save lives and get more people the help they need.
The attorney general's remarks underscore a stubborn fact: For all the hand-wringing about mass shootings by mentally troubled attackers, too little is being done to find new ways to head off these incidents before they happen.
Palm Beach County could have taken the lead in trying a new, albeit controversial, way to tackle the issue. Bradshaw folded, but it would be nice to see him try again.

It's nice, and less confusing, when regulations are the same or at least similiar across states. Maybe the Federal Govt can encourage/coerce some degree of uniformity by witholding relevant Federal Funds unless standards are met, kind of like they do with drivers licenses.
Then maybe they wouldn't have so many tax dollars to withhold.
Pot fans got what they wanted in Colorado: they finally convinced voters there to support the legalization of "recreational marijuana." It's seen as a huge victory for those who support the powers of the individual states, and a great example of "federalism" in action. But who is considering the burden of all of this on the American taxpayer?
Before I go further, let me be clear: I have never in my entire life consumed marijuana. When I was a kid I was out of step with my peers on this, but I've just never been interested in "trying it," and that's...
