I ordered new York strip. My wife ordered blue farm chicken. Food tasted good and good portion. Service was good. View from restaurant overlooking the bay area and CBD was breadth-taking at night. Highly recommended for a business dinner and romance.

City Museum Plants Forest on Third Floor

OK, so there wasn't a lot of competition for this category. But when something is good it deserves recognition, and the St. Louis Rep's rendition of Georges Feydeau's classic A Flea in Her Ear was very good indeed. The frantic French farce about marital mix-up and mistaken identity was directed with stop-on-a-dime-and-give-you-change pacing by John Going and featured wildly creative performances by Jeffries Thaiss as an adulterer with a cleft palate and Anderson Matthews as a staid, put-upon husband brought to the precipice of madness. Matthews works a lot at the Rep. Watch for him. Even in lesser productions, his appearances are usually synonymous with the best the company has to offer.


text: Great stuff from Benny Golson! Sure, the record features Benny's tenor set amidst some sweeter R&B arrangements – but the formula works nicely, and is Benny's lost bid to capture some of the same sort of modern soul excitement than Donald Byrd was getting in the 70s. Titles include the dancefloor classic "I'm Always Dancin' to the Music", the funky version of "Blues March", and the sweet cover of "Don't Ask My Neighbors". (Includes the printed inner sleeve.

DPS: Fiery fatal accident likely caused by driver being fatigued or falling asleep
Updated On: Jan 03 2014 03:30:40 PM CST
A fiery, single-vehicle accident last month that killed a 46-year-old Hamlin man was likely caused by the driver either being fatigued or falling asleep, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
George Preston Scifres, who died in the crash, was driving a 2001 Chrevrolet 2500 pickup about 3:05 a.m. Dec. 18 on US 83 – about 1.3 miles north of Aspermont – in Stonewall County when the accident occurred.
"There were no skid marks on the roadway to indicate that the driver attempted to take evasive action," DPS spokesman Frederick Biddle said in an email. "No other new information was indicated on the crash report."
"The pickup was traveling south on US 83," Biddle said in the original news release. "The vehicle crossed the northbound lane and struck a guardrail on the east side of the road. It continued through the ditch and ran off of a small ravine. The vehicle then rolled onto the passenger side. The vehicle caught fire and burned with the driver inside."

(HealthDay News) -- Rheumatoid arthritis is triggered by an overactive immune system that attacks the body's own joints, causing flares of pain and stiffness.
The American College of Rheumatology says about 13 million Americans have the disease. The ACR recommends regular exercise, except during painful flares.

Virgin Galactic to unveil tool to fling rich people into space
Space tourism entrepreneurs at Virgin Galactic are poised to unveil the mothership that will launch the fabulously wealthy on ballistic arcs outside the Earth's atmosphere. British billionaire Sir Richard Branson and American aerospace engineer Burt Rutan on Monday will host the public debut of WhiteKnightTwo at the Mojave …
When is someone going to honor
all those PanAm spaceflight tickets that were sold in the 60's. If I had the cash I would do it just for the PR alone ;) Ahh, those were the days, for those of us old enough to remember them...........
I'm just waiting for
all the space stewardesses in mod outfits and Velcro shoes.
I thought the only passenger on a Pan-Am spaceflight, (sic) was the bloke in 2001, a Space Oddity. Then Pam-Am went bust! Try selling your ticket on eBay.
What is it with Branson?
"Virgin Galactic has not yet set a date for when passengers will get a ride"
Nor has Virgin Media set a rip-off date for Phorm. I hope the fly-ware goes better than the spy-ware.
Beware the bearded-one looking over your shoulder!
@Andy Barber
Ah, but he later fell to earth. Problems with global warming or something.
re: your Bootnote
Either that, or the cosmic ray storm will rip a hole in the fabric of space-time and fling them down onto a parallel of Earth where everything is really really huge.
re: re: your Bootnote
Or they'll end up flung into the future where everyone has very hairy faces and... umm...
70% complete
Lost in Space
Lets hope they fit it with good tracking devices as we dont want another 10 Steve Fossetts do we?
Saying that though, space would make the Nevada Desert look like a village green...
Is anyone still looking for that guy by the way or his is missus too busy spending his billions?
Wishing on a star
Hopefully that beardy prick will be on it when it does a challenger replay.
Maiden Voyage?
I'm sure there will be several test flights before Branson and family fly in it.
It's not "Hawiian Shirt"...
It's "Jungle Planet X Camoflage Uniform".
Typically overhyped and overmarketed Virgin bollocks.
I guess it wouldn't sell tickets if it were called what it actually is, which is "Virgin quite high in the atmosphere-ic."
Perhaps Branson would be the first to perform an extra vehicular tropospheric walk for us... no, that would be too much to hope for.
Indescribably awesome.
Whatever you say about Branson or Virgin Galactic or any of the problems (it's suborbital, it's only 5 minutes of zero-g, it's retardedly expensive) associated with it, you have to admit that the idea of being able to buy a flight into space is INDESCRIBABLY AWESOME!
Oh Branson
he was kinda cool, but now the Phorm thing is bad bad bad.
This space thing, wasn't this to do with the winner of his Yanky program; the futon guy.
Well I am still waiting for the space elevator, but I have noticed no one is really taking space seriously, there are tons of resources out, we could strip mine mars, and the lack of friction may make it cheaper than shipping.
@Lost in Space ..... Cashing in urChips
"Lets hope they fit it with good tracking devices as we dont want another 10 Steve Fossetts do we?

Is anyone still looking for that guy by the way or his is missus too busy spending his billions?" ..... By pctechxp Posted Sunday 27th July 2008 20:14 GMT
Here is some further "expert" news on that speculation, pctechxp .... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2462912/Adventurer-Steve-Fossett-may-have-faked-his-own-death.html
Does anyone remember the original Quatermass story?
The one that goes - three spacemen go up the the first rocket but when it return there is only one person left - an amalgam of all three - with very strange alien abilities.
Aargh don't tell me any more! Bransonia!!
Steve Fossett
Has been declared dead and the search operation terminated.
As mentioned in the electric car comments:
The ultrarich are paying for the stuff now so that we get the benefits later - whatever cool tech stuff comes out of this enterprise. Look what NASA did for the world in the way of improved electronics etc.
Shouldn't the title of this article really have been....
"Virgin Galactic people unveil plans to fling rich tools into space" ?
Does it...
.. slow down to 5mph after 30 minutes of flight?
no return?
'Virgin Galactic to unveil tool to fling rich people into space'
...unfortunately tho' - i think they intend to bring them back again
Virgin brand transport
I do hope they get this rocket working smoother than their train service. Although at $200K the pricing is similar.
Science Hell and Handcarts...
oh dear..
"Once it breaks free, SpaceShipTwo will fire its rockets and take six passengers on a 2 1/2 hour ride into the Earth's thermosphere."
Perhaps one might like to think about that statement! Isn't it the whole journey from start to finich is 2.5 Hrs? and after a 2+ hour ascent, SpaceShipTwo is released fires its rocket for say 2-3 minutes and then plummets like a ballistic projectile in a timeframe which is likely to be far less than that stated! go ask a red devil!
I thought...
...the headline meant Branson would personally be doing the flinging of folks into space, but it turns out it's a different sort of tool they will be using.
2 Best Techs to come out of NASA
In order:-
Disposable Nappies (Diapers)
Non-Stick Pans.
Do we get to choose?
which rich people get flung?
I have alist...
Can we chose the title of the craft?
I nominate "The Golgafrincham D-Ark (Celebrity)" as its terribly important for the entertainments to be ready when the rest of teh arks arrives (I vote Posh and Becks on the first flight!)
Forget the rich people...
...let's get the Telephone Sanitation Engineers flung up there (one-way) while we still have the chance.
What ??
>Scaled Composites, now owned by Northrop Grumman Corp is currently appealing a $28,870 state fine for workplace violations in connection with the explosion.
3 dead and 3 seriously injured, total fine $28,870
Jeez you gotta love the capitalist system when thats the best they can do :(
Oh and lay off us Telephone Sanitation Engineers you lot, we provide a vital service. Surely better to fill it with the TV execs who bring us the endless reality tripe. Actually, we could turn it into a show, ' Im a Golgafrincham Celebrity, get me off this planet'
Think I will TM that one just in case :)
Am I the only one.....
.....who with the mention of the word "flung", pictured a giant catapult throwing rich people high into the air?

2 killed in Adams County plane crash
Updated On: May 31 2014 11:51:33 AM CDT
Authorities are investigating after two men were killed in a small plane crash northeast of Denver.
Sgt. Aaron Pataluna, a spokesman for the Adams County Sheriff's Office, says the Cessna 150 took off from Front Range Airport at 12:30 a.m. Saturday and was reported missing about three hours later. The wreckage of the plane, which crashed in a field about a mile west of the airport, was found at about 7 a.m.
The men, whose names have not been released, were the only two on board.
Pataluna says an investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board is headed to the scene. Dense fog was reported in the area as crews searched for the plane.

SANFORD, Fla. An attorney for Trayvon Martin's family says the parents of the Miami teen don't want race to be injected into the trial of the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with fatally shooting their son.
Attorney Daryl Parks said Thursday it's wrong for anybody to insert race into the trial.
He spoke after Thursday's court session ended on a day in which race surfaced in the testimony of a 19-year-old woman who was talking to Martin on the phone moments before the teen encountered neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder. He is pleading not guilty, claiming self-defense.
Race has permeated nationwide discussions of the case since the February 2012 shooting, which prompted nationwide protests and claims from critics that police took too long to arrest Zimmerman.

INDIANAPOLIS — A gay teen faces expulsion after his mother sent him to school with an ECD for protection against bullies.
"I do not promote violence — not at all — but what is a parent to do when she has done everything that she felt she was supposed to do ... at the school? I did feel like there was nothing else left for me to do but protect my child," Chelisa Grimes told CNN.
On April 16, six other Arsenal Technical High School students surrounded Darnell "Dynasty" Young, threatening to beat him up. Young pulled the ECD from his backpack, raised it and set off a charge, which sent the group running.
"I got kicked out of school for me bringing the weapon to school, but I honestly don't think that that was fair," Young said. "I didn't use it on nobody. ... All I did was raise it up in the air and went back to my class."
Shortly after, the 17-year-old was handcuffed and taken into custody. The incident is under investigation by school officials, who have not yet identified any of the students who reportedly surrounded Young.
Grimes contends the school hasn't done enough to protect students.
"I think that the self-protection device is what's making the news, but the big picture is that my child is not the only one who does not feel safe at our school," she said.

!! OMG, we all grieve differently: Miley Cyrus sings to giant inflatable replica of her recently deceased dog Floyd !!
So Miley Cyrus' two-year-old Alaskan Klee Kai was allegedly killed by a coyote on Tuesday (I'm sure there are some terrible people out there who might make redneck jokes about that), and understandably she's very upset. Losing a pet is never easy. Though, when you have the kind of team behind you that Miley does, you can find different ways to honour your pet's life. You could try building a giant Pharaoh statue replica of your pet, but with glowing eyes and try serenading it in your bra, underwear and black and white furry chaps!
Personally, I'm totally down with this method of grieving... It seems like a far more productive form of it to me. And well, white furry chaps can really cheer anyone up! RIP Miley's Alaskan Klee Kai! You are receiving a king's honour here on Earth...

Introductions! My last one of these was kind of stupid because I didn't really know what Newgrounds had become since I left, and was deleted. I guess I should introduce myself instead of dropping in on random topics in the forums like some weirdo until people know me somehow! Bad habit. Bad.
Everything I've done previously has been a part of the furry (yes, I know) music scene - which is pretty dumb of me, because of course in any commercialized fandom no one talks to one another. Also it seems that no one listens to anything but EDM, or the ones that do have seen how much there is of it and almost no one looks for what they like. It's a giant insular backstabby money grab! Fun.

I came here after hearing that there might be more animators coming back to what was basically my childhood home on the internet (along with albinoblacksheep) due to Youtube's bullshit.

Authorities suspect arson in a fire that destroyed a covered bridge in a Terre Haute city park.
The bridge was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived at Deming Park shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday.
Terre Haute Fire Department spokesman John Gardner says the fire was definitely arson because there was no electricity on the wooden bridge.
Gardner says they have no leads in the fire, but says fresh bicycle tracks were found near the bridge.
The 30-foot long bridge was built in the 1990s to resemble historic covered bridges in the area.

Eli Manning has a message for the Green Bay television station who yanked a "Seinfeld" rerun off the air after hearing it was his favorite show.
"No Soup-er Bowl for you! Come back ... one year!"
On behalf of us locals, a facetious "thanks" to the Packers for choking up the NFC title like a bad block of cheddar and unleashing the New York media on our fair Valley.
Is there anything else that could have been handed Green Bay?
The Cowboys were gone.
The game was on their ice, er, turf.
The weather was perfect - for the Iditarod.
And if the Giants missed one more field goal, Tom Coughlin's rosy cheeks may have turned a color that isn't even in the crayon box.
But all the mystique and all the Brett Favre magic couldn't overcome the fact that many Packers had never been this far before. The youngest team in the league finally showed its age. It's nothing to be ashamed of, and we'll hear from the Packers again before Favre retires three or four years from now.
More than 30 years after Portland's LaRue Martin had seemingly solidified his place as the worst No. 1 draft pick in NBA history, Kwame Brown of the Lakers continues to build a body of work that threatens his perch.
Anyone expecting ASU to sweep through the Pac-10? A split in the Bay Area is fine, although blowing a 12-point second-half lead at Stanford hurts. Now the Devils have to take care of business against Washington and give it their best shot against a phenomenal Washington State team.
Now that the Coyotes have put themselves in the playoff race, will management pull the trigger and bring in some short-term scoring help. The team has room under the cap and room in Wayne Gretzky's lineup and plenty of assets in the farm system.
The Suns have the best record in the Western Conference, but Mike D'Antoni won't be coaching at the All-Star game. He was the coach last year, and the NBA prohibits coaches from going in back-to-back years.
It may not have been the smartest thing, but Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers gets the tough guy award. He played Sunday with an ACL in his right knee that he says is "totally gone," and six days after having arthroscopic surgery to remove torn cartilage.
LaDainian Tomlinson might not have been able to play Sunday. But was that an excuse for sitting all bundled up with his helmet on instead of rooting on his teammates and being a leader in any way possible.
Don't think Sam Cassell wasn't auditioning for the Suns when he poured in 32 points against them last week. If the Clippers buy out his contract - admittedly a long shot - he makes a lot more sense than Damon Stoudamire for Phoenix's needs.
Trevor Ariza of the Lakers broke his foot in practice and will be sitting next to Andrew Bynum for - you guessed it - eight weeks. Could this be the injury that forces the Lakers to roll the dice on Chris Webber? Stay tuned.
Just when the NHL was riding the momentum of the Winter Classic, Sidney Crosby goes down with a serious ankle injury and everyone in the league feels the pain. Next week's All-Star game in Atlanta will be missing the sport's biggest star.

shinseki´s tenure as VA director started in 2009. The article headline says VA staffers have been "gaming system" for six years, which, of course, predates obama and shinseki. All the abuses at the VA cited in the article occured during the reign of the imperial highness, but that won´t interfere with the WH talking points and media narrative that blames this scandal on Bush.

Looks like the staff at the VA have been taking their cues and work ethic from their lying, cheating, thieving messiah. That old truism about the fish rotting from the head down...It may have started in the last few months of the Bush administration but, by then, the VA could see the writing on the wall.

While I in no way condone what seems to have been done, It looks to me like this is a case of trying to hide the fact that too many individuals (patients) were seeking limited resources (doctors). The powers that be were demanding results that were simply impossible to achieve so ways were found to hide that fact and give said powers the results they wanted even if those results were false. The problem is not the cover-up so much as the underlying problem of insufficient resources. This is potentially O-care in microcosm. We are already being warned that too many individuals will be chasing increasingly limited resources. This can only end badly.

They´re ironing out the kinks for single-payer. I just saw a doctor who said to come back in one week but the office staff flatly said the first available appointment was 2 1/2 weeks so what the doctor thinks is prudent doesn´t matter a bit. Sounds a bit like what was going on here.

This is exactly like it will work when the ACA is fully implemented. There will be a shortage of services, constituents will complain & clamor to their representatives, edicts will be promulgated and techniques will be devised to comply with the edicts. Looks good on paper.

As the VA goes, so goes the future of health care in this country. The government pushes for the statistics they want and they get them one way or another. It saddens me that so many are willing to play the game and leave our veterans to suffer long wait times and for some to even die. The doctors and nurses are asked to do the impossible with big government breathing down their necks. See how this works? It will be everyone´s future under Obamacare because bureaucrats don´t care about the health of people, they are driven by the desire to please their government overlords.
Click Here if you Like this Comment 66 persons like this.
My close friend is a physician at our local VA hospital. This doctor tells me that referrals to specialist physicians on staff are frequently declined to be seen by the specialists. The veteran patients are seriously ill with a variety of needs; cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, etc. This doctor also says the workload assigned on a daily basis is normally completed within 2 and a half to 3 hours. Why aren´t they being asked to work harder and longer hours? They´re paid generously and have great benefits and retirement. The problems within the VA system are not simply the appointment scheduling, it´s also the care or lack of it they get after they´re finally admitted. Hard to understand why this is tolerated. Veterans deserve this care, they risked their lives and sacrificed for all of us.

Okay folks, we the people demand our agencies to be more efficient and accountable like the private sector. So the agencies with the help of this and previous Administrations and Congress come up with performance measures to make sure these agencies are efficient like their counterparts in the private sector. But humans being humans, there is no reward for saying: sorry, but we failed to meet out performance this month and this applies to both private sector and government. So of course people are going to cover up poor performance numbers because even if you report them, then what? IThere´s no reward for honesty.I don´t know if many of you have been watching the Senate hearing today, but the last panel had a man who was not a veteran, associated with the VA or any of the veteran service organizations. His area was medical care. He made a point of saying that only the VA healthcare system subjects itself to the metrics/performance measures - not the private sector hospitals.

When the ACA was passed and naysayers voiced concerns, the Democrats assured everyone the system would work and cited the V.A. medical system as the example of a successful government medical system.Recently, the administration assured us this was an isolated problem. When 2-3-or 4 employees do it... that is an isolated problem. When entire region(s) do it, that is not an isolated problem, that is a problematic policy.I think this problem is going to escalate as whistle blowers from other regions step forward.

Do you guys have any suggestions of good, interesting places to have a wedding with 80-100 people? I'm in NY, and it's a little hard to find anything other than the expensive/most used options on the web. I'm looking for something a little more industrial/exposed brick and beam than wallpaper and velvet curtains. We're planning on having a Cajun band with dancing, so I'd like Cajun food, but I'd still like something with a little class. Really good food and good wine are a priority for me...but we are on a budget. It doesn't have to be in the French Quarter. Any ideas?
Try The Foundry in the Warehouse District. It's a catering hall/rental space run by Chef Horst Pfeiffer, formerly of Bella Luna. It seems to fit the bill. It reminds me of the original Tipitina's in a way and would be convenient to the downtown hotels.
Thanks so much for responding, Whatisagrit. I was really interested in The Foundry, but when I started to correspond with them it seemed like they had a crazily high food and drink minumum that wasn't clear from their website...I'll have to double check on that to make sure.
Has anyone been to THE RED MAPLE RESTAURANT in Gretna recently? The banquet room and courtyard seem like they might work, but I've read mixed reviews of their food so far. Is it really out of the way?
re: ichiban
The Red Maple is across the river on the West Bank, and pretty inaccessible without cars.
Check out Rosie's Jazz Hall, my brother-in-law just had his reception there. Perfect size for your number, great food, and they had Sunpie Barnes as their band. He puts on a good show.
Anybody know what's up with the old Eiffel Tower restaurant on St. Charles? Formerly the Red Room? Now an appalling shade of chartreuse? That place has such potential.
If you want Cajun food you should go to Cajun country, Lafayette, New Iberia,or,Rip Van Winkle Gardens on Jefferson Island with a beautiful setting and last I knew they did weddings and had catering suggestions.Also several Bed and Breakfast accommodations on the property. Just a thought!
re: Blumie
You are absolutely right Blumie. I have learned the distinction, but I beleve what you say is true. Well Lets suggest something in or near the FQ. Lord knows they need the business. Palace Cafe, Bourbon House, Cafe Giovanni, chef Duke is willing to work with anyone on a budget., Broussards, Antoione's.
Call the River Parishes Tourist Commission (toll free 866-204-7782)They have information on all the places between New Orleans and Baton Rouge along the River Road, including a lot of the old plantations like Oak Alley, St. Joseph, Destrehan, etc., that might be available for private parties. All are within an hour's drive of NOLA. They would know of restaurants as well. Chef John Folse has a dairy in Gonzales but I'm not sure if he has opened another restaurant.
Amelie's in the 900 block of Royal is beautiful. It depends when the wedding is as this is a big courtyard on the street with a restaurant in the back of the courtyard. The bride can show up in a carriage to the gates and a band can be off to the side of the courtyard. It is directly across the street from the Cornstalk Fence Hotel and in the evening and night the view is lit by gas lanterns. They have a good restaurant and will probably do any food you want and they also have music on the weekends so they should know a Cajun band. It is in the heart of the Quarter and there are numerous hotels around so no one has to drive. I have been to two very unique weddings there. I think they still have a big room adjoining, so if the weather is bad you can move inside. Real French Quarter local place. Talk to Danny the manager.
re: Panama Hat
Beautiful courtyard! It was mine when I lived in the building years ago. My apartment was the ballroom of that old Creole mansion and I loved my balcony on Royal Street. I had some great parties in that courtyard with other tenants.
Ichiban, ask them to send you some photos. It is really the classic, perfect New Orleans patio. So much so that it was featured in many tourist brochures.
We had dancing out there but for Cajun dancing you might need more room since the garden is a series of parterres.
I was just there last month to show my daughters where I used to live and it is still very lovely. Didn't eat at the restaurant so I don't know how the food is.
Actually, my fiance IS Cajun, so he's educated me about the fact that New Orleans and New Orleans food is NOT Cajun. As far as our wedding food goes, I'm open to it being a combination of Cajun and Creole dishes...It doesn't have to be a "Cajun Themed Wedding" per se. We do want a Cajun band, and don't want fancy, generic wedding food with a carving station, big cake and such...so don't want a fancy banquet hall feel...but instead want something that feels more like a flavorful family feast. But I think we were hoping to stay in New Orleans more because it'd be easy for our guests, who would mostly be from out of town. We just thought it'd be more fun to be somewhere central where everyone can get home easily or go out after the wedding if they feel like it. I'm not married to it being in the French Quarter necessarily, and was interested in the Warehouse District as well (The Foundry looked great, but is WAY too expensive), but didn't want somewhere too out of the way. Thanks so much for all your guys' ideas and input! It helps a lot, and I've been investigating all your suggestions.
re: ichiban
As I said in my post, I could be (and was!) wrong. But it certainly is true that many (most?) tourists equate Cajun food with New Orleans, which (while Cajun food of course is available in New Orleans) is off by 50-100 miles.
Have you checked into City Park? http://www.neworleanscitypark.com/wed...
The Botanic Gardens are making a strong comeback and the area around the historic Carousel is open in time for a walking version of Celebration in the Oaks. I think there is a new exhibit there of an old Creole house near the WPA-era Potting Shed which is completely charming.
All of the proceeds from the catering go to the Park. Lots of top social events in New Orleans are hosted there so the arrangements for food and drink must be do-able.
Try Latrobe's. It's an old bank and has a great New Orleans-y feel.

Whether you're a high school student making plans for after graduation or an adult wanting to go back to school, the library can help you with the process of getting into college. Our Education Guide, found on the Research tab of the library's home page, has a number of resources that can be found in the College Bound menu on the left side of the page. Some of the topics covered are:
The library has a couple of tools that can help you find the death dates of people who lived in or around Tulsa at the time they passed away. First, the Tulsa World database, found in our alphabetical list of library databases, has an online archive from 1990-present. Along with news articles, this archive includes birth and death notices from the past two decades. To find a notice, type in the deceased person's name in the first 'All Text' search field, then change the second search field to 'Section' and type in 'Deaths'.
Yes, the library does have access to the Tulsa County Land Records. Using these databases, you can look up residential and commercial properties by address, owner, subdivision, and more. You can also access the Land Records to find out information about your own property, such as square footage, year built, and tax details. If you are looking to buy a home, it's also a good resource to see if your potential new home has any existing liens before you buy.
InterLibrary Loan (ILL) is a service which borrows books, videos, sound recordings, microfilm, photocopies, etc. when the requested items are not available at any Tulsa City-County Library. We borrow items from many public, academic, and special libraries throughout the country.If a particular item is not owned by any of the Tulsa City-County Library locations, customers with a valid library card may use the ILL Service to request that the item be borrowed from another library system for their use.
Yes, the library has a database called the Auto Repair Reference Center that provides repair information from the Chilton Total Car Care Series. It covers vehicles from 1945 to the present, both domestic and imports. This info includes repair instructions, wiring schematics, technical bulletins, and labor time estimates. You can access the ARRC in our Research & Learn section via the Alphabetical List of Databases.

Strawberry, Apple, & Banana SmoothiePosted by Katie on Jan 7, 2013 in Fruit, Katie Original, Smoothie | 5 comments
I've been on a homemade smoothie kick lately. Not in an effort to eat better (although it does help), but just because… they taste good! It also helped that I recently got a Juice Extractor & Smoothie Attachment for my Magimix that is out of this world awesome. I also received a case (as in a dozen) packages of strawberries from Parkesdale Farm Market in Plant City, Florida shortly after receiving my attachment. The timing could not have been more perfect. After I juiced quite a few fresh strawberries, I then cleaned up the rest of the strawberries and froze them for future tasty smoothies.
Over Christmas break (well it was break for me, I had 12 days off from work) I decided to take some time to get to know my camera better and move into manual mode. This was my first recipe I shot in manual. Over all, I'm beyond pleased with how my photos came out. Sure, there are things I can do to improve, but its a start. A start toward one of the many goals I've set for myself in 2013!
Katie Original Recipe
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 organice gala apple, quartered
- 1/2 frozen banana
- Using a Magimix by Robot-Coupe Food Processor Juice Extractor & Smoothie Attachment (or blender) add the apple (peel on) through the smoothie attachment, then add the frozen banana, followed by the frozen strawberries. Carefully, remove the frozen juice from the food processor base. Mix the juice well and pour it into two glasses.
Disclaimer: I have a working relationship with both Magimix and Parkesdale Farm Market. I was not paid to write this post. As always all opinions are my own.

When Chinese automaker Brilliance wanted to invade The Continent, it chose Germany-based importer HSO Motors to introduce models like its BS4. Brilliance kept up its end of the agreement, shipping cars to HSO; HSO, however, couldn't get the cars sold, and a little more than a year into the partnership HSO has gone bankrupt.
Three reasons are blamed for the flame-out: the crash test videos for the BS4 and BS6, along with pricing. If you'll remember, when the German ADAC tested the Brilliance BS6, the result was a horror film that would have frightened Freddy Krueger with an official rating of zero stars. After a great deal of improvements and added equipment were put on the BS4, tested two years later, the results were much more palatable -- yet the car still received just three stars. The ADAC's had raised its testing standards, so what would have earned the BS4 a three-star rating under the old methods was only good for zero this time around. That didn't make German buyers comfortable.
The ADAC's testing methods have been labeled unfair, and it's been noted that the ADAC is not a regulatory body. Yet other cars tested under the new methods, like the Skoda Yeti and Honda Jazz, earned five stars. Beyond that, the BS4 is priced at about €16,000 ($24,000 U.S.). Even though it's larger, it's priced against cars like the Focus and Golf, and well above a Skoda Octavia. As a maker trying to earn its way into the field of German car offerings, Brilliance will need to go well beyond the norm to to make its case. For now, Brilliance has taken over HSO Motors' role as importer.

Employment. A new law (formerly H.B. 2541) recently approved in Arizona clarifies how employers can interact with workers who use medical marijuana. The law protects employers who take good faith actions based on a perception that an employee is impaired in the workplace. The law also allows employers to monitor employees using medical marijuana to ensure that they are performing duties effectively.
Employers are protected from litigation if they prohibit medical marijuana users from performing "safety sensitive" duties. Employers have latitude in establishing what is considered a safety-sensitive position, but examples include any job that can affect the health or safety of others. Operating a motor vehicle, operating machinery or power tools, and repairing or monitoring certain equipment are all considered safety-sensitive positions under the law.
Immigration. Georgia Governor Nathan Deal has signed a bill (H.B. 87) into law that will require employers in the state to take steps to ensure that they aren't hiring illegal immigrants. Employers with more than 10 employees are required to use the federal government's E-Verify system to determine whether a prospective employee is in the United States illegally. Other aspects of the law are identical to Arizona's controversial law, which is currently under judicial review. Critics of the law expect that there will be legal challenges to the law before it goes into effect in January 2012.

Magnetic solution to road debris. Travelers on gravel roads can probably count on fewer trips to the tire repair shop.
The Cassgram reports magnets placed on road graders work …to the extent that a couple big buckets have been filled with nails and other metal debris in just over a month. Magnets are mounted on four graders.
Roads Superintendent Lenny Thorne said the magnets cost just over $200 each. Plans are to equip four more graders with magnets.
A newspaper article on the magnets in use on Lancaster County roads caught the eye of the Cass County Roads Department and the local department decided to give them a try. County Commissioners said anything that helps out citizens is a good investment on the county's part.
