Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Tell us what you think...
The community thinks...
OK, but MPG is inaccurate by An MSN Autos Consumer on 05/12/2012. Trim: 2013 Hyundai Elantra, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Style, features, tons of trunk space, and cost.
Cons: Listed Gas mileage is inaccurate, seats get stained easily, and big blind spot.
Overall review: The best MPGs that I have gotten is 38 and that was when I was driving 45 MPH. I commute mainly on the Highway, about a 70/30 split between highway and city streets and I average 27 MPG. Have been running a test with this tank of gas and keeping car at 65 MPH or lower and not using the AC; so far average is 32. Car still gets better mileage than my old SUV so I'm not mad, just wish it was constantly between the listed amounts. I have 15,000 ,miles on the car. Other than that I love the car and very happy I got it. :o)

Say Away From Buying Hyundai by Seattle Area on 12/01/2012. Trim: 2013 Hyundai Elantra Limited, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: This vehicle is OK. You get some features in it that others charge you extra.
Cons: My gas mileage is extremely lousy. Aroung town I recently was getting 22 mpg, a far cry from the advertised mpg. The EPA has found the Hyundai & KAI, sister company were over stating MPG. They are both issuing gas cards to try to help. Mine was for $63.00. WOW, maybe two tanks, big deal. Also, I know for a fact the a law firm back east has filed a class action law suit against Hyundai for the Elantra mileage claims on behalf of owners.
Overall review: My overall review is, do not buy a Hyundai or KAI. You would be better off with some other vehicle. I will never ever buy another Hyundani or KAI. I own a KAI Soul, also.

Wish I would have Bought a Different Brand by Washington State on 12/15/2012. Trim: 2013 Hyundai Elantra Limited, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: It is Average for Korean made vehicle
Cons: Lousy Customer Service from Hyundai
Overall review: bought this car after reading reviews and test drove looking at the MPG listed on the sticker. Well my mileage has been lousy and I complained to Hyundai corporate and all they are doing in giving me the run around sending a speedsheet to track my mileage. Well it is still lousy using the speedsheet. Averaging 25 MPG combined driving and than, freeway I have been less than 29 MPG. Their sticker said 40 MPG for freeway -- kinda far cry from 40 MPG. Also, come to find out the EPA has stepped in and made both Hyundai & KAI (sister company) restate mileage for several vehicles, Elantra being one of them. They are also issuing gas cards for the mileage driven each year for the owner, as long as the owner verfies mileage at the dealer a few times a year, I guess till the car dies. A big hassle. In addition a law firm back East has filed a class action law suit against Hyundai on behalf of Elantra owner and the lousy mileage they have experienced. Buy from a different company!

What the Elantra is Really Like by Tim B on 09/11/2012. Trim: 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS A/T, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: The Elantra's handling is well balanced and the short front overhang amplifies the nimble feeling. The power is ample for this size car, aided by how smooth the 6spd trans operates (auto). If you are stepping up from a compact - the Elantra will feel upscale. The interior space and trunk space are mid-size class. Unless you want all the premium adds (SAT, leather, etc), the best value and comfort is the GLS w/preferred package. The best trade off was not dealing with the rougher ride and road noise of the 17" wheels on the Limited. If the supsension was a bit more high tech (independent rear vs. torsion beam axle) the Limited would be ok. The 16" alloys are stylish and handle well.
Cons: If you are downsizing, you will feel some minor trade-offs (ride, power). You may have to get used to the A-pillar that is a bit wide when looking at turning traffic. The overall driving characteristics are more euro but soft enough to allow you to go for miles (though i wish the seat support was a little longer in the thigh). You will need to level your expectation on how the steering is a bit over-weighted on center or how the supsension is comfortable but you definitely feel the road bumps. Gas mileage is good but your driving habits affect it heavily (typical of smaller hp cars). Also, I have heard the Nav is somewhat hard to see in sunlight glare on the Elantra Limited.
Overall review: Overall, this is a very good car. Your view of this car will vary depending on what type of vehicle you are coming out of. You need to take a good test drive of the Elantra before making a final decision. The materials in the car are on level with an economy car; luckily the styling overshadows some of the hard plastics. The fit and finish are on par with cars at least a class up. There is no other car that packs the value of the Elantra. Again, test drive and do some comparisons of the other guys (Civic, 3, Cruze, Corolla) and you should agree that if you are in the market for a well featured, comfortable, reliable (need i mention the 5yr/100K warranty), roomy, and stylish car then the 2013 Elantra GLS is the top pick. As a package daily driver, you cannot go wrong with the Elantra GLS w/preferred pkg.

Test Driver
Learn Before you Buy by An MSN Autos Consumer on 08/21/2013. Trim: 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS A/T.
Pros: Read my description it will shed light on a few things.
Cons: See below...
Overall review: Its about how you drive the car that determines the fuel mileage not what a sheet of paper says. We feel as though the mileage for any car will be the same for every person and every environment based on its window sticker at the dealership. Get yourself educated on some automotive basics. For starters, the EPA's method of obtaining mpg figures comes from a calculation, hence the reason for it being an "estimation". I live in a very hilly area and as far as my mileage goes, it is not what you might call brilliant, but that is life. If you are an owner of this vehicle or even others, there is usually more than one reason you bought it. If the mileage is not to your liking, enjoy and embrace the other aspects of the car. Comfort, styling, technology, spaciousness, price, these are all wonderful attributes of the Elantra as a smaller car. If every last mpg is your thing, try electric or hybrid. Weigh your desires against the car so you do not have to complain after it is purchased.

It shook upper Manhattan for blocks, and when it was over, a five-story apartment building and its neighbor were gone.
After Wednesday morning's deadly building explosion in East Harlem, squads of firefighters dug through piles of shattered bricks and beams. Ladder trucks sprayed water into the gap where the buildings once stood. As Detective Martin Speechly, a New York police spokesman, put it: "1644 Park Avenue appears not to be there anymore."
Along with that structure -- a five-story apartment building -- a neighboring piano store and a Latino evangelical church collapsed as the blast rippled throughout the neighborhood. Angelica Avila told CNN she was trapped in her apartment down the block for a short time afterward.
"My neighbors came banging on my door. I guess they were evacuating the building, and I couldn't get out -- my door was jammed," she said. "Everything off my windowsill fell, and I guess the impact of the explosion jammed the door as well."
Her stepmother had to sneak in through the back to try and open the door for her, she said.
Three blocks away, the blast knocked Klay Williams off his feet as he brushed his teeth before work. He told CNN's sister network HLN that his first thoughts were a possible terrorist attack, "as New Yorkers, we tend to do," or maybe a derailment of the nearby Metro-North commuter line.
"I went to my back window, because I'm on the very top floor," he said. Looking down the street, he saw "a bunch of people just running, as if they were running towards something."
Authorities suspect the explosion was the result of a gas leak reported a short time before.
Seven blocks away, Eric Boise could feel his apartment shake and saw others "pouring out of the apartment buildings at 116th and Madison Avenue." He followed himself, watching as firefighters hauled gurneys into the wall of smoke to bring out the wounded.
"I can see in front of me about 50 feet up until the explosion, and then it gets pretty thick," Boise told CNN.
Michael Mowatt-Wynn, the head of the Harlem & the Heights Historical Society, called the surrounding area "a community in transition." Its population of 100,000-plus was once largely Italian. In the late 1950s, large numbers of Puerto Ricans moved in -- in part because of the similarities between their native Spanish and the Italian still spoken there.
The 1990s brought a growing Mexican population, and now the area is being gentrified, Mowatt-Wynn said. It's home to a lot of mom-and-pop businesses and restaurants, and New York University is building a new dormitory in the area, he said.
The full toll was uncertain early Wednesday afternoon, but at least two people had been reported killed. The gas leak had been reported only 15 minutes before the explosion, Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters.
"This is a tragedy of the worst kind, because there was no indication in time to save people," he said.
CNN's Poppy Harlow, Rose Arce, Chris Kokenes and Ray Sanchez contributed to this report.

(AP) - Alabama voters will have a much easier time following campaign donations in the 2014 elections for state offices.
The Alabama secretary of state's office plans to launch a searchable online database of campaign donations by the end of May. It will replace the old system of paper documents and scanned-in documents, and it will premier in time for the start of fundraising for the 2014 elections.
An attorney in the secretary of state's office, Julie Sinclair, told The Anniston Star that the records can be searched by name for donors. The system was mandated by the Legislature as part of the laws it enacted in 2011 to make campaign fundraising more transparent. The secretary of state's office estimates the new system is costing $300,000 to $350,000.

U.S. players in the dark on pairings
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. -- When Lee Trevino was U.S. Ryder Cup captain, he had a simple attitude: pair the players, pat them on the back, and have them go at it. You get the feeling there wasn't a lot of science involved.
But as the Ryder Cup has grown, and the matches have become more intense, every move is scrutinized -- even for the captains, whose role is more than ceremonial.
Ask Curtis Strange. The losing captain of the 2002 U.S. team, Strange's strategy for putting his top players off last during the Sunday singles at The Belfry was highly scrutinized after the Americans were blitzed early by a front-loaded European lineup.
So what will Hal Sutton do? The U.S. captain made it clear this week at Oakland Hills Country Club that he has put a lot of thought into his pairings and order. But he's not saying what he'll do. Not even to the players themselves.
|Where they're playing
This week:
35th Ryder Cup
Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
Oakland Hills CC (7,077 yards, par 70).
Friday: 8 a.m.-6 p.m. ET (USA)
Saturday: 8 a.m.-6 p.m. ET (NBC)
Sunday: 12-6 p.m. ET (NBC)
Defending champ:
"I told them I wasn't going to set the pairings for the practice rounds," Sutton said. "Don't read anything into anybody you're playing with. Be prepared to beat the other two guys by yourself and if I give you a little help, then that's a bonus. So they have no clue as to who they are going to play with.
"If they know who it is, they start worrying about their partner's game instead of worrying about their own game. So we are worrying about our own game this week."
Interesting. The strategy is different, but it has plenty of merit. The Americans, who lost in 2002 and have just one victory since winning in 1993, seem to get off to a slow start in the team competition. So much thought is put into who will team better with whom that perhaps it is forgotten that in the Friday and Saturday morning competitions, fourball, each player plays his own ball.
What difference does it make who the partner is? The best score among the two counts.
Foursomes is a different matter. That is alternate shot, and having the proper pairings can be crucial. Some players use different styles of golf balls which could be harmful to the partner. There are theories about matching similar style players, or those who are friends, together. Sutton will undoubtedly be tinkering with that before Friday.
But the foursomes pairings don't have to be made until after the morning fourball competition is complete. Perhaps Sutton will be more concerned with who is playing well than who they are playing with.
"Some captains, we've known months in advance what our pairings might be, and they have actually come to fruition," Tiger Woods said. "This is certainly a different strategy and something that I've never experienced. I was talking to Davis (Love) about it earlier and he's been on the team since '93, and he's never experienced anything like that. So I think it's refreshing. We go out there and prepare like we always do for each and every tournament and then when your name is called, you go out there and try and get a point."
Last week, Mickelson switched from Titleist to Callaway -- and had one of his worst tournaments of the year. Let's chalk that up to coincidence. And let's also acknowledge that Callaway will undoubtedly provide Mickelson with an excellent driver, ball and, eventually, irons.
But Mickelson might need some time to get the proper shaft in his driver while getting used to a golf ball that might react differently. This is the type of move that might have been better had it occurred in the offseason, not the week before the Ryder Cup.
|Got a question about the PGA Tour? Ask ESPN.com golf writer Bob Harig, who will answer your inquiries in each installment of This Week in Golf.
Q. Why is it that Titleist (Aschunet) does not seem to offer the more lucrative contracts to retain their staff players? They have lost Tiger Woods, David Duval, and now Phil Mickelson. Obviously they offer an excellent product, but why do they not compete with the contracts of other companies to keep top players?
A. The guess here is that Titleist figures no player is bigger than the company. Mickelson was paid handsomely to play the ball and clubs (reportedly $4 million a year) and wanted more after his Masters victory. Titleist, apparently, figures it will do just fine without him. Titleist dominates the retail ball market as it is, and has numerous players under contract. It seems to believe that the large numbers of players using Titleist equipment is a stronger endorsement than that of any one player.
Q. Do you believe Earl Woods' illness has had a greater impact on Tiger's game than not having Butch Harmon around?
A. It is quite possible. Woods' dad recently had a recurrence of prostate cancer and Tiger discussed it at the Deutsche Bank Championship. Perhaps he has known about this for some time, and who could blame him if it didn't occupy his thoughts.
Q. I would like to see the PGA Tour lose the Presidents Cup and have a three-way match for the Ryder Cup. This way, the U.S. professionals don't have to play in one or the other every year, so there's no burnout, and we would get to see a team comprised of Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Retief Goosen, Shigeki Maruyama, etc. To be honest, the best players are not in the U.S. or Europe right now and I think it would be great for golf.
Q. What kind of money games do the pros play during practice rounds and what are the dollar amounts?

Latest GANGACHARA Stories
2005-11-18 08:09:21
By Anis Ahmed GANGACHARA, Bangladesh (Reuters) - The mighty Teesta river that has swept away farm laborer Mohammad Taheruddin's home 10 times in the past five decades is now a picture of calm. At the end of the monsoon season, the river that brings misery to thousands of Bangladeshis almost every year looks more like a big canal, with people and cattle walking across through knee-deep water. Children cast nets for fish to add to their meager food or to sell in the nearby market....

- The offense of persistently instigating lawsuits, typically groundless ones.
- An unlawful breach of duty on the part of a ship's master or crew resulting in injury to the ship's owner.
- Sale or purchase of positions in church or state.

LONDON -- (Marketwire) -- 11/15/12 -- Intel Corporation has recently launched a new communications infrastructure platform set to address the challenges faced by telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs).
The platform, previously code named "Crystal Forest," will benefit service providers and enable TEMs to develop faster, more energy-efficient equipment capable of supporting higher network traffic.
To operate effectively, service providers now have to ensure a wide number of computing systems work efficiently across an entire network. This complicated process hinders service providers who need to deploy services quickly, whilst reducing infrastructure support costs.
Many service providers are also being forced to make substantial infrastructure investments to keep up with market demand. This is creating a requirement for networking and telecom equipment that provides greater agility, security and better economics. To gain greater efficiencies, service providers need to consider a transition from hardware-focused equipment platforms to a single, software-focused architecture.
Intel's new communications platform is designed expressly for infrastructure applications and complementary cryptographic and data compression workloads. The new platform is based on the Intel® Sandy Bridge microarchitecture and includes Intel® QuickAssist Technology.
Service provider benefits include:
- Solution footprint: Decrease the number of physical assets by consolidating their functions using network virtualisation.
- Scalability: Increase performance of any function just by adding more platforms. Optimise performance across workloads by dynamically reallocating computing resources.
- Efficiency: Avoid underutilised hardware caused by mismatched subsystem capacities.
- New services deployment: Easily create network-aware services, since applications and networking functions run on the same platform.
- Operating expenses: Simplify the deployment, maintenance and inventory of industry standard server architectures.
- Power consumption: Conserve energy by using power-optimised Intel platforms and removing all other computing systems associated with other processor architectures from the box.
TEM benefits include:
- Platform development: Use a common platform that makes it easier to deploy different services and is easier to control.
- Engineering resources: Reduce development effort with one platform architecture to know, one code base to write and one development team to manage.
- Product cost: Take advantage of more manufacturing options, such as using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions that are refreshed yearly.
- In-field support: Minimise system support cost with just one type of hardware platform to learn, deploy and maintain.

Great one of a kind tastings and wonderful service. Great prices. I always love coming here since it's right near my favorite restaurant, Grain and Gristle. they don't have food except for potato chips so plan on heading over to some place later. They have some nice outdoor seating as well.

4.1/5 rDev -5.5%
We've visited 1856 three or four times now, most recently last Friday before dinner at neighboring Pok Pok Noi. It's painted a vibrant vermilion-red on the outside, but is cool, white and modern inside - the space most recently housed an African-American-owned barbershop, so the transition is kinda remarkable. Upon entering, the right wall is filled with coolers (chilling beer mostly, but also some ciders and white wines); the remainder of the store/bar is blonde shelves full of wines, beers, ciders, sakes, vermouths, bitters and a few imported sodas.
I discovered '1856' the first week after it had opened, so on our first visit we could still smell fresh paint. Concrete floors and adjacent hardwoods were unscuffed. We asked about the name and the significance of the date; as it turns out, the year 1856 is important because it's when Louis Pasteur discovered the microorganisms that cause fermentation... before than it had been a mystery how beer was created, I suppose. Thanks, Louis...
All times we've visited we've had very good service (Matt every time) - chatty when necessary, friendly but unobtrusive in general. Requests for 'tastes' are given freely and generously. The bar is a gorgeous (if there can be such a thing) slab of buttery grey concrete, with 8 or so 'high school art class'-style barstools at the ready. The bar fronts the space and stools aim toward south-facing windows; although small, there's a very friendly 'neighborhood' vibe here. Outside are a couple of benches, crafted from large timbers - there is talk of a fire pit and awning cover in the future.
I really am impressed with the beers here, many better bottles from local breweries and some pretty obscure imports from Belgium and Scandinavia, in particular. We generally opt for draft beers on our visits (there are 6-8 of them at any given time), but there's always a local cider and draft sake available - plus wines by the glass. Recent visits have shown us a variety of beers from Portland breweries like Occidental (excellent Germanic beers) and The Commons (equally excellent Belgian stuff) and Migration - plus Breakside, Hopworks and Oakshire (Eugene). This last visit included 12 oz. pours of Occidental's Dunkel and seasonal Festbier and of Oakshire's delicious Imperial Pumpkin Porter. Prices are reasonable: $3.50-4.00 for most 12 oz. pours.
Bottles can be opened in the shop for a $1 corkage fee. Otherwise, "to-go" prices are in line with what I've seen at other area bottle shops. There is no food served, but 'take-in' is ok from adjacent restaurants (see below).
Jan 2013 update: 'Meet the Brewer' tasting events happen on occasion; Block 15, Logsdon and Bear Republic recently, Fort George and Pfriem upcoming...
I'm very happy to add 1856 to our short list of neighborhood places to regularly visit. Worth checking out, local or visitor (note: Pok Pok Noi and Grain & Gristle are in adjacent spaces - a resounding 'yum' to both).

Carolina Beach Council Appoint Bridges, Smith For Vacant Seats
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 19 December 2012 22:31
- Written by Super User
(Left to right) Carolina Beach Councilmember's Sarah Friede, Steve Shuttleworth and Bob Lewis appointed Tom Bridges and Jody Smith to vacant Council seats December 18.
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
CAROLINA BEACH - The Carolina Beach Town Council appointed Jody Smith and Tom Bridges to fill two vacant seats during their Tuesday December 18, meeting. They were selected from a list of top five candidates drawn from 16 applicants who expressed an interest in serving in writing by November 30.
On November 13, the Council announced the resignation of Town Manager Tim Owens following a closed session meeting. Immediately following that announcement, Councilman Lonnie Lashley and Mayor Ray Rothrock resigned in opposition to Owen's resignation.
The Council interviewed the top five candidates from a pool of 16 people who applied for appointment to the vacancies for Mayor and a Council seat during a meeting held December 11. They voted to appoint Councilman Bob Lewis as Mayor.
Lewis, Smith and Bridges will take the oath of office at the Council's January 8th, meeting starting at 6:30PM.
The top five were Douglas B. Andrews, Dennis "Duke" Hagestrom, LeAnn Pierce, Jody N. Smith and Michael "Tom" Bridges.
Hagestrom withdrew on December 17. In a letter to Council he stated, "I recently confirmed that my appointment to a council vacancy would result in a conflict of interest regarding personnel at one of my businesses and a contract I have in place with the Town."
At a previous meeting Hagestrom was asked about a contract with the Town to rent paddle boats at the Carolina Beach Lake but said it would not be a problem to recuse himself should a related issue require a vote of Council.
Doug Andrews recently changed his voter registration. According to Marvin McFadyen, Director of New Hanover County Board of Elections, Andrews applied for a change in voter registration from an area north of Carolina Beach on November 19. The Board received the application from the state on November 27 and changed the registration on November 29.
Andrews had not previously voted in Carolina Beach and until recently was registered at an address in the Inlet Point neighborhood north of Carolina Beach. He told local news station WECT last week he has lived in Carolina Beach since 2010 and was eligible for appointment since he's eligible to vote.
On Tuesday, Town Attorney Lawrence S. Craige explained, "The Town must appoint to the Town Council a person who is qualified and registered to vote in the Town of Carolina Beach. In other words, if an applicant resides in Carolina Beach and is qualified and registered to vote at least twenty-five days before an appointment to Council, the applicant is eligible to serve on the Town Council."
Council member Sarah Friede thanked the community for their opinions and the candidates for their willingness to serve their community. She said the process was stressful and, "I would ask the Town to embrace the choices we make tonight and move on."
Councilman Bob Lewis, who will soon be sworn in as Mayor, said there were five "really extremely qualified candidates" and said, "All we are is a bunch of residents up here in a volunteer position part-time trying to steer the Town in the right direction."
Councilman Steve Shuttleworth said it's been an educational process and an opportunity to meet residents and people willing to help lead the Town.
He said the interviewing process was overwhelming and many residents weighed in on whom they felt were the best candidates.
Doug Andrews spoke to the audience saying, "I think the Council did an excellent job of making this process as transparent as they did. The process was not easy for this Council I'm sure and there were no guidelines or any book that really guided them down this path to make this decision short-term."
He said, "Me personally, it was a quick decision to make. I had friends that didn't" force him into it, "but we had conversation and I'm glad I went through the process. I can only hope regardless of the outcome the citizens of the Town jump in behind this Council and the new Council and allow them to spend their time providing solutions."
Friede nominated Tom Bridges saying, "He is a relatively fresh face in this Town but he has made contributions to this Town in a quiet manner that has not drawn a lot of attention to him" and, "I heard a very solid support behind him."
Friede, Shuttleworth and Lewis voted unanimously for Bridges.
Lewis nominated Jody Smith saying he was looking at a balance between the business community and the residential areas and Smith will help that balance from the residential aspect.
The Council voted unanimously to appoint Smith.
Bridges and Smith will serve until December 2013. They will have the opportunity to run for Mayor (2 years) or Council (4 years) during the November Elections. Lewis will serve as Mayor until December when his original Council term was set to expire.
Jody Smith has lived in Carolina Beach since 2001 after attending the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. She said, "I remember when I was at UNCW working on my degree there that Carolina Beach just was not a place you went. It wasn't a place to go to. It wasn't a place you took your kids and it wasn't a place to go out. I'm honored to say that over the past nine years living in Carolina Beach, 12 years total on the Island, that I've seen that turn around completely."
She works with the Pleasure Island Sea Turtle Project that interacts with local government on a regular basis.
Smith said challenges facing the Town include how to deal with an uncertain future for property previously purchased for a Pier and Park, dealing with finding a long-term location for the Town's Operations Department and finding a new Town Manager.
On controversial issues, Smith said, "At the top of the list is just to listen to what the people want" and, "It's important to take in as many ideas and input." She said there would be times when decisions are made that not everyone will like.
Tom Bridges has lived here since 2007 and moved here after working as a principal in the Charlotte Mecklenburg School System for 23 years. The first seven was as a school psychologist.
Bridges said, "I have a wide variety of public service and certainly have had to deal with the public on a daily basis also constantly making decisions" as well as interviews and working with staff.
Bridges said, "I'm not a politician" and public perception is key to being successful. He said, "That's something I can bring to the table... as a group you need to be a cohesive group. If you have something to discuss, you discuss it in an intelligent manner and even if you have some disagreements, you take it outside somewhere else. Backroom, you talk about it somewhere else. If you have five people you can actually meet two on two or one on one and not have to have an open meeting." He said he had to turn around schools that didn't have the best reputations and has extensive experience in budgeting. He currently serves on the Town's Planning Commission and Freeman Park Committee.
On Wednesday December 19, applicant Doug Andrews submitted a letter to the editor to the Gazette. The letter states:
Dear Editor,
I wish to thank the Carolina Beach City Council for the time and energy they spent researching and qualifying candidates applying for the open council seats vacated during 2012. Extensive phone and face to face interviews were conducted by council members utilizing time taken from both their personal and professional lives to properly evaluate the candidates. Carolina Beach citizens should recognize that sixteen candidates were willing to invest personal time towards the opportunity of improving the quality of life and investments of their fellow citizens.
I also wish to thank all those who on my behalf provided unsolicited written support to council persons in order to assist them in making their final decisions. I am fortunate to have many friends who believed in my qualifications, integrity, and ethics, and that were willing to publically voice support for my appointment to city council.
Lastly, in response to previous inquiries presented regarding my residency and voting eligibility, I would like to provide some clarification and history to support my eligibility. In November 2012 close friends encouraged me to apply for appointment to one of the open council seats based on their belief that my experience in business operation, finance, and strategic planning, would serve my fellow citizens in Carolina Beach well. At this time I was registered to vote in New Hanover County and submitted a voter registration change immediately to reflect my address in Carolina Beach. While the timing of this change might have appeared suspect to many, my change in domicile could have been made legally some time ago. My rationale for not acting on this change in a prior year is too complex to discuss in this correspondence. I have owned property in Carolina Beach and paid property taxes since May of 2002, and the home listed on my voter registration card was purchased in September of 2010. To those who questioned my residency qualifications related to this appointment, persons who know me well will attest that since moving to the Wilmington area in April 1993 my personal life and recreational interests have been centered at Carolina Beach. In support of my connection to Carolina Beach, please recognize that my daughter attended Carolina Beach Elementary, both my grown children played in the Pleasure Island soccer league, we shop for groceries on this island, and when not working you will either find me on my boat, or at our Canal Drive home. Historically, my father after returning from WWII during the late 1940's even waited tables at the original Ocean Plaza Building Ballroom.
In closing I would like to encourage my fellow citizens to fully support the current and newly seated council, and allow these individuals to spend their time providing solutions and guidance as opposed to dealing with non-productive controversy. I am personally looking forward to the guidance and vision that this council can bring to positively impact the lives of the citizens of Carolina Beach.

"Great story; poor narration"
This was the first Iris Johanson book I've read. She tells a great story with many sub-plots and surprising twists. If I could rate the story by itself, I would give it 4 1/2 stars. I'll be downloading many more of Johanson's books. Unfortunately, the narrator of this book earns only 1 star. There are many characters in the book and she uses pretty much the same voice for all of them. The other problem was that she took only the slightest pause between chapters and never gave an indication that a scene had changed. These things made it difficult to follow the story and I found myself having to go back several times to pick up a lost story line.
"First time I ever put a book down"
No, the narrator was bad and the story was worse.
Not if this is a good example of his writing.
Scott Brick is my favorite narrator but I don't think even he could save this book.
This is the first time I have ever put a book down without finishing it (print or audio). I am an avid audio book listener and, until now, I have always stayed with a bad book until the end in the hope that it would improve. I restarted this book twice because it wasn't holding my attention and my mind drifted. On my last attempt, I forced myself to keep listening until I was about halfway through and then finally gave up. There are so many good books and narrators out there that it doesn't make sense to waste this much time on a book that can't hold my interest.
"Not his best work"
I am a fan of this author's books, but this one is not even close to his usual standard. I found myself constantly backing up to listen to sections again because my mind had drifted. There was way too much legal detail in what otherwise could have been a good story. The abridged version might be better. Don't let this be your first Richard North Patterson book or you probably won't read any of his other work -- that would be sad because he really is a good story teller.

I ended up at Hopfields chasing a beer I tasted at Independence brewery and I'm so glad I did. One of my favorite beer pubs in Austin, especially thanks to their attention to IPAs. Every time I'm there I get to taste something new and I love it. The food is very good too. Order some burgers and fries with your beer; you won't regret it.

Hopfields provides a comfortable space that's unfortunately close to the University. The interior is cool and inviting with picnic benches in the front of the house and several room like spaces toward the back. When the weather permits, there's also sun shaded outdoor seating. Due to it's proximity to UT, the best time to go is during lunch or between long sessions. This is not to say it won't be crowded and loud during this time. My most recent visit was on a Friday after the Spring session. At 4:30 it was starting to fill and by 6:30 it was hard to have a conversation at the front of the house. This shouldn't dissuade you from going, though. The beer selection, while not enormous, is large enough to keep you coming back on a somewhat regular basis with a nice mix of Texas and non-Texas beers. Service is good and the staff knowledgeable. The is very good, as well, with the burger being my favorite.

I stopped by here during a recent visit to Austin, based on a recommendation for a vegetarian-friendly place with craft beer. (That's all I ask for, folks… only because there's nothing for me to eat at all the amazing BBQ places in the world.) And the food and beer did not disappoint. There was a wall full of tap handles with local and familiar treats, with pours and pricing clearly marked. No cask engine but it might apparently be in the works. (Yes, I asked.) Plus it looks like they're developing a serious drink program here, judging by the cocktail list and some overheard conversations. Nosey, nosey!
Based on the same recommendation I went right to the ratatouille, although it looks like there's a number of snackables—a locally-sourced cheese plate, frites, salads—for those who aren't interested in the burgers.
I sat at the bar and found service to be efficient, but somewhat inconsistent. Upon entering and taking the place in—do I seat myself, is there room at the bar, how can I find out what's on tap and on the menu before I commit?—I bellied up at the bar and …waited. It wasn't until a friendly couple to my left explained 'how things work' to me—grab a printed menu since those are updated, beer is listed on the far wall—that I figured out what to do. Which was fine, just confusing for my first visit. However, not long after another couple came in and sat down to my right—and a server met them at the bar, brought them menus and explained the specials of the day. It was such a glaring contrast as to be all too apparent and just the sort of thing that you'd hope they work out among their staff. Clearly, another visit is in order!

I had lunch here yesterday and really enjoyed the food and beer selection.
Food was very tasty. I had a burger and fries and it was very good. Not your typical burger and was cooked perfectly medium rare.
The beer selection was great and I especially like how they have what's on tap displayed. On one wall they have hand painted wooden placards that can easily be switched out if a tap changes. The placards also display the size of the pour and the price. Awesome.
My only complaint is that there is no wait service. You have to order from the bar. Since it was a late lunch this was no issue since their were only a few people in the place but I can see it being an issue for me on a busy evening.
I didn't see any highchairs for kids but I would come back with my one year old if they had them(before 7pm though).

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Robert Lee Morris. The first name—or three—in costume jewelry blazed a new path for contemporary fashion accessories when he launched his namesake collection in 1971 with big, bold, tribal-inspired pieces that attracted the attention of retailers, press, and fellow designers. He went on to collaborate with some—Calvin Klein, Karl Lagerfeld, and most famously Donna Karan, with whom he designed jewelry for 28 of her collections. After a brief stint in the fine jewelry sector, Morris is now relaunching his eponymous brand with Haskell Jewels (as in Miriam). The prices are lower—ranging from $150 to $1,000—but the iconic RLM look is all the same. Style.com sat down with Morris to talk old days, newcomers, and what stood between him and Tom Ford, and to take an exclusive first look at a few of his new pieces.
Robert Lee Morris relaunches this September at Bergdorf Goodman, Kirna Zabête, Morris' Soho store, and www.robertleemorris.com.
How is this collection different from anything else you've done?
The thing that makes this collection different is that it is primarily affordable. It's constructed of solid cast brass, which is a wonderful metal; I've always used brass in everything I've ever made, because I can get big, bold shapes and I can do anything with it. With the economy being what it is, it makes more sense to shift my entire direction towards the affordability and my desire to want more people to have my work, and that's the big difference. I'm able to distribute my work at a much more affordable price without losing its signature look.
How has the costume jewelry industry changed since you got started 40 years ago?
It's come full circle. When I started, it was the beginning of a revolution that I was very much a part of. Similar ideas were happening in Japan, Europe, and America—of creating jewelry that was challenging and full of content. That was the beginning of the designer-artist jewelry movement. That has never died, though it's certainly had some low points. When I started, it was a heyday and opened many doors; retailers went crazy for it. Then in the nineties we had the complete opposite: All shows of wealth became a no-no. The recession hit hard, the Gulf War was going on, the stock market crashed. Everything that was fabulous and wild in the eighties came to a screeching halt. Nobody wanted to spend money on anything that wasn't just pure "meat and potatoes" safe, and my range of the jewelry business collapsed. Then in 1995, Tom Ford at Gucci started showing Halston-esque, sexy, body-hugging clothing, and the next thing you know, we're back in business. It was a revival and we didn't do anything. I didn't think I was even old enough to have a revival. The creativity is still not 100 percent back yet, but there's been a slow return in costume jewelry of big, bold, fun-to-wear, wacky, crazy things. Designers who were once subtle are kicking it up ten notches to crazy.
You've collaborated with a lot of A-list names in fashion. What are some of your favorite memories from these collaborations?
One of my favorite memories was in Paris around 1981-'82. I was working with the Japanese designer Kansai Yamamoto. So he would take me to Paris every season, and after the shows were over, there would be these fabulous parties where all these French designers were hanging out. I remember Lacroix was just getting started and we were all partying with Claude Montana and Karl Lagerfeld and Thierry Mugler, and then we'd all jump in airplanes and go to different places. Like we'd all meet in Venice and start partying in Venice. It was a fabulous time for French fashion.
In terms of American parties, my favorite was the after-party for the Calvin Klein show in 1981, when he showed his Fall collection on 81 models, and I did this blockbuster collection of jewelry for him that I won the Coty Award for that year. We went to his skyscraper apartment overlooking the East River, and Brooke Shields was there as this little child, and Steve Rubell and all those people were there, and we were beside ourselves with joy because we knew the moment was so beyond-belief fabulous. And the many parties I had with Donna at her various houses, after the show where we'd be sitting around waiting for someone to run out and get WWD at the first newsstand, watching reruns of the show, squealing when something happened. It was a tribe. Being part of a tribe of people who worked their butts off to create a 20-minute expression of art and fashion that would become a global phenomenon, and watching it happen, year after year after year.
There are a lot of designers that have recently come up in the fashion jewelry space. Who do you think is presenting new and exciting collections right now?
My most favorite is Pamela Love and I'm so sorry she didn't win the CFDA this year. Pamela has a unique vocabulary; it's not a rehash of something else you've already seen, and a lot of young ones are doing that. What truly matters is invention and we need more invention. It's hard work to go deep inside yourself and do something that's never done before, and you need to know your history to know what's been done before. I was lucky because when I started, there wasn't much there. It's hard now for people to find an original place to start from. But all you have to do is go to nature, and go directly to the woods or find books on nature and you'll see design patterns that you could never exhaust. But people today keep doing renditions of the Hermès type, or a lot of spikes and pyramid-shaped things. That's pretty rampant, it's all over the street. But where Pamela is great is that she's deeply involved in a more metaphysical search, and you can see her search through her work.
Do you have any collaborations with ready-to-wear designers on tap?
Now that I'm at my new company, it's a big learning curve for me on how to be here. Donna wanted me to collaborate on this Fall season, but I couldn't. I think I'll continue, though, I can't imagine ever stopping. We're just known together. Once, Tom Ford told me he couldn't see how he could work with me because I'm so connected to Donna, and I said that's fine. She represents clean, American sportswear that is a perfect foil for my work. Though I would never turn down an opportunity to work with the youngest, newest people—either to help guide them on or help create focus for their work.
Who are some of those young talents?
Prabal Gurung, Phillip Lim, Joseph Altuzarra…I was very disappointed to hear Doo-Ri [Chung] left [her label]. I loved her work. Mary-Kate and Ashley [Olsen]. I'm crazy about them; I love what they're doing. They're so focused on who they are and how they want their clothes to look. I used to watch their early movies with my daughter and they'd have these fashion shows. That really started at a young age—these girls wanting to be designers. There's proof!

The Smiths Definitely Not Reuniting
By Laura Snapes on April 26, 2012 at 8:21 a.m. EDT
Update: Johnny Marr has posted on his Facebook: "The rumour of the Smiths reunion is untrue. It's not happening."
Cue a tirade of "what, by hologram?" jokes: British website Music-News.com reports that the Smiths are in talks to reform for a major fall tour, based on "a source" reporting that the band have been discussing the notion with a "well known promoter." There's little to make the story seem anything but spurious at this stage, particularly given the assertion that the move was inspired by the Stone Roses' reunion. Johnny Marr tweeted at 12:51 GMT:
Echo Chamber: Johnny Marr
By Carrie Battan on March 1, 2012 at 12:20 p.m. EST
"We won't be reforming this week. Maybe if the government stepped down. If this government stepped down, I'll reform the band. How's that? That's a fair trade, isn't it? I think the country would be better off, don't you? I'll do it if the coalition steps down."
-- Johnny Marr on what it'll take to get the Smiths back together. (via NME)
Johnny Marr Banned From Driving
By Carrie Battan on December 5, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. EST
Rock stars-- they're just like us, speeding tickets and all. Johnny Marr, ex-guitarist for the Smiths, Modest Mouse, and the Cribs and current member of the Healers, was caught doing 72 miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour zone, the Daily Mirror reports (via NME). He's been banned from the wheel for 56 days after pleading guilty. He was also fined £535.

Massive Smiths Box Set on the Way
By Tom Breihan on July 27, 2011 at 5:55 p.m. EDT
As the Morrissey fan site Morrissey-Solo points out, Rhino is preparing to release a gigantic box set containing basically everything the Smiths ever did. The set, titled The Smiths Complete - Deluxe Collectors Box Set, features remastered versions of eight albums (on CD and vinyl), as well as reproduced versions of 25 (yes, you read that correctly, 25) 7" singles, and all sorts of other stuff. Seriously, it's gigantic. I's limited to 3000 copies worldwide and expected to ship October 3.
Morrissey Disses British PM, Royals, Bryan Ferry
By Ryan Dombal on December 6, 2010 at 2:30 p.m. EST
British Prime Minister David Cameron likes the Smiths. But the Smiths do not like David Cameron. On the heels of Johnny Marr's anti-Cameron comments last week, Morrissey wrote a lengthy letter condemning the PM as well. "I would like to, if I may, offer support to Johnny Marr who has spoken out to the media this week against David Cameron," Morrissey wrote. "With fitting grimness I must report that David Cameron hunts and shoots and kills stags-- apparently for pleasure. It was not for such people that either Meat Is Murder or The Queen Is Dead were recorded; in fact, they were made as a reaction against such violence."
The barbs did not stop there...

"David Cameron, stop saying that you like The Smiths, no you don't. I forbid you to like it."
-- Former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr is none too pleased with the fact that current Conservative British Prime Minister David Cameron loves the Smiths and can't stop talking about it. Hey, perhaps the Smiths need to reunite to solve this problem! Maybe? (via @johnny_marr via Prefix)

Johnny Marr Talks About the Cribs and Modest Mouse, Not About the Smiths
By Tom Breihan on October 15, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. EDT
Photos by Pat Graham
Johnny Marr came to prominence in the 80s playing guitar in a little band called the Smiths. When that little band broke up, he went on to work with the everybody from the Talking Heads and Pet Shop Boys to Beck and Oasis. He founded Electronic with Bernard Sumner and released a solo album with his band the Healers. More recently, he joined the Pacific Northwest indie powerhouse Modest Mouse.
The latest notch on Marr's resume came when he joined the brotherly Brit-punk band the Cribs, playing on their new album Ignore the Ignorant. This summer, we talked with Cribs bassist/vocalist Gary Jarman about what it's like to have a legend in the band. And earlier this week, we got Marr himself on the phone to talk about everything he's been up to lately.
A word of advice: don't ask him about the Smiths.
Echo Chamber: Johnny Marr
By Tom Breihan on September 23, 2009 at 1:10 p.m. EDT
"It's not necessarily the case that we're not talking. We have email. We worked on that Sound of the Smiths [compilation] together... Who's got time for a feud? Right now I have got screwdrivers inside guitars, my car broke down yesterday...I've got no time for a feud."
-- Johnny Marr, talking about his relationship with Morrissey and giving the world a vague flicker of hope that a Smiths reunion might happen someday. (via Norwich Evening News, via NME)

In a time when action-packed, adrenalin-filled extreme sports are the latest craze,
it only seems natural that bull riding would become rodeos most
popular event.
The risks are obvious. Serious injury is always a possibility for those
fearless or foolish enough to sit astride an animal that weighs a ton
and is usually equipped with dangerous horns.
But cowboys do it and fans love it.
Bull riding is dangerous and predictably exciting, demanding intense physical
prowess and supreme mental toughness.
Like bareback and saddle bronc riders, the bull rider may use only one hand to stay
aboard during the eight-second ride. If he touches the bull or himself
with his free hand, he receives no score. But unlike the other roughstock
events, bull riders are not required to mark out their animals. While
spurring a bull can add to the cowboys score, riders are commonly
judged on their ability to stay aboard the twisting, bucking ton of muscle
and rage.
Balance, flexibility, coordination, quick reflexes and a good mental attitude
are the stuff of which good bull riders are made.
To stay aboard the bull, a rider uses a flat braided rope, which is wrapped
around the barrel of the bulls chest just behind the front legs
and over its withers. One end of the bull rope, called the tail, is threaded
through a loop on the other end and tightened around the bull. The rider
then wraps the tail around his hand, sometimes weaving it through his
fingers to further secure his grip. Then he nods his head, the chute gate
swings open and he and the bull explode into the arena.
Every bull is unique in its bucking style. A bull may dart to the left,
then to the right, then rear back. Some spin, or continuously circle in
one spot in the arena. Others add jumps or kicks to their spins, while
others might jump and kick in a straight line, or move side to side while
