Federico Higuaín's move to Columbus was halted by a snag in the Argentine immigration office, but the striker should be in Black & Yellow soon Technical Director Brian Bliss said this afternoon.
"According to what the immigration people have told us, the stamp has been placed into [Higuaín's] passport," Bliss explained. "Federico is en route to pick it up either today or early tomorrow morning. Once he gets the passport, Tucker [Walther, the Crew's Director of Team Operations] will book his ticket [to Columbus]."
Higuaín will not be available for Wednesday's match against the LA Galaxy, but Sunday's match in Houston could be a possibility.

To help pay tribute to Kirk Urso, Crew veterans Eddie Gaven and Andy Gruenebaum were kind enough to share their memories of their fallen teammate.
Eddie Gaven: "One of my fondest memories of Kirk was down in Florida during preseason this year. We had some down time in between training sessions, and so Andy and I invited him over to our room to teach him how to play Settlers of Catan, a nerdy board game we sometimes play. I figured it'd take him a while to learn and so I was expecting to get a few easy victories against him. But he picked it up incredibly fast -- so fast actually, that he beat us the first two games! I remember thinking then, that there was something special about this kid. And indeed, there was. He was everything you could ask for in a teammate -- honest, hard-working, and humble. On the field, I always wanted him on my team during practice, and off the field, I always enjoyed his company, his sense of humor, and his infectious positive attitude. I will miss him as my teammate for sure. But I'll miss him even more as my friend."
Andy Gruenebaum: "From day one of preseason, it was apparent that Kirk was tailor made for our locker room. It is very rare for a rookie to come into a professional environment and put their stamp on the clubhouse, both personality and playing wise. I can speak volumes about the characters of all of our rookie class this year, but Kirk seemed to embody everything that a friend would want, and a franchise could build upon. Even with an injury setback, Kirk showed up everyday with a smile on his face, and a positive demeanor. I have never had the privilege of meeting Kirk's family, however in my blessed time around Kirk, it is obvious that he had a wonderful upbringing and support group in his friends and family that helped shape him into the wonderful person that he was!"
A special thank you to Eddie and Andy for sharing these memories of Kirk during this difficult time.
Major League Soccer has granted the Crew permission to wear a patch on the club's uniforms to memorialize Kirk Urso, who passed away suddenly on August 5.
"We kept (the design) within the style and tradition that we have established at the club in honoring those that have passed," team equipment manager Rusty Wummel explained. "We have two styles. The black will be used on the home kits and the gold will be used on the secondary kits, placement is above the Adidas logo."
The Crew hopes the patches will be ready in time for Wednesday's match against the LA Galaxy.
Check out the mock-up below:
Once again, Crew goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum has been nominated for Save of the Week by MLSsoccer.com. This week's nomination comes from the 58th minute of Saturday's match against D.C. United when Gruenebaum saved Chris Pontius' breakaway shot from close range to help keep the Crew within a goal of United.
Vote for Gruenebaum here.
Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuaín, brother of newly-signed Designated Player Federico Higuaín, took the time to talk to MLSsoccer.com while Los Blancos tour the U.S. ahead of their upcoming La Liga campaign. Skip ahead to the 1:30 mark where Gonzalo is asked about his older brother coming to MLS (translation below).
Have you had the chance to talk to your brother Federico Higuain? He was recently signed by an MLS team, the Columbus Crew. Have you had a chance to talk to him about this chance that he has in the USA? And what is your personal opinion of soccer here?
Yes, I talked to him. He asked me about the US, the city I'm in right now, the team we are playing. He wants to know because it's a new league for him. I am very happy because it's a change for good, and I hope he can do things the best way. I saw him very excited, I hope things go well for him because if he's doing well, so are we (referring to his family).
Love it or hate it, no one can argue that RFK Stadium doesn't hold a special place in Major League Soccer and U.S. Soccer history.
As the League's only stadium that can boast that it's been used since MLS's infancy in 1996, no other site in MLS can boast that it has held World Cup matches for both men and women, 21 U.S. Men's National Team matches, three MLS Cup Finals, and one MLS All-Star Game. Built for football and baseball, RFK stadium has also hosted boxing, bowl games, and various concerts.
RFK Stadium also holds a special place in my heart, because it's where I got my start in MLS as an intern for D.C. United in the summer of 2011. Who knows, without my experience with D.C. United last summer, I might not be writing the article for the Crew right now.
But fear not, Crew fans. In the seven matches in which I worked for D.C. last summer, Ben Olsen's team went 0-4-3 at RFK Stadium. In addition, I traveled to Chicago to see the Black-and-Red draw the Fire 1-1 and drove to my now-home of Crew Stadium to see United's playoff hopes dashed by Eddie Gaven's diving header on October 2, 2011 to go on top of July 21's 1-0 victory. And while the Black & Gold hasn't been wildly successful at RFK-- winning only six times in MLS's 17 year history-- the Crew has taken nine points from its last five matches at the historic stadium in D.C.
Though it is great for MLS that D.C. United may soon get a new stadium in The District within the next few years, you have to appreciate the only stadium that was in use when the league started in 1996 still going strong today. (Even though you may run into cockroaches, raccons, and various other critters in the field-level tunnels.)
The Crew players were greeted with the oppressive Mid-Atlantic heat and humidity on the team walk today through the Dupont Circle area of Washington, D.C.. There was a chorus of resounding "It's so hot..." statements as the team walked to Mitchell Park for a morning stretch. As you can see from Julius James' back in the photo above, many of the players broke a sweat during the stroll. Chris Birchall came prepared however, using napkins to wipe the sweat off his back throughout the walk.
It won't be much cooler at the time of kickoff this evening. Weather.com predicts it will be 89 degrees Fahrenheit with 55-percent humidity, making it feel like 96 degrees. What's more, the concrete structure of RFK Stadium will trap in the heat for tonight's match to make it even more oppressive.
Tonight will be a test of endurance for the Black & Gold, so look for the Crew to come out firing from the opening whistle just as it did two weeks ago against D.C. in search of an early goal in this muggy D.C. weather.
I'll have more from RFK Stadium later as kickoff approaches.
Following the Crew's 2-1 victory in Kansas City on Saturday, the Black & Gold has been racking up the weekly awards around various media outlets. Here's a guide to all the accolades the team has earned this week:
Jairo Arrieta was named Player of the Week for his multi-goal effort by MLSsoccer.com, ProSoccerTalk, and Soccer by Ives.
In addition, Arrieta earned Team of the Week honors for by the above outlets and Sports Illustrated. Unfortunately for the Crew, Andy Gruenebaum's five-save effort wasn't enough to edge him past Chicago's Sean Johnson, who was the unanimous selection for the goalkeeper in the above outlets' First XIs.
For the hard-earned road win, Robert Warzycha was honored as Coach of the Week by MLSsoccer.com. It's the second time the Crew skipper has earned that honor this season.
Finally, remember to vote for Jairo Arrieta for AT&T Goal of the Week and for Andy Gruenebaum for Save of the Week.
Greetings from Kansas City,
After going their separate ways for breakfast, the players and coaches gathered in the hotel lobby this morning to catch some Olympic action before embarking on the team walk through the city.
Following their Olympic viewing, the players enjoyed the sights of Kansas City on the team walk.
Eventually, the team found a nice shaded are to stretch and mentally prepare for tonight's match against Sporting KC. Eddie Gaven shared his veteran insight with rookies Ethan Finlay and Matt Lampson.
Finally, before heading back to the hotel to rest, these guys insisted on posing for a buddy pic:

text: Pic replaces D'Ambrosio at Marussia for 2012 28 November, 2011 Charles Pic celebrates winning the GP2 race at Monaco earlier this year Nov.27 (Reuters) French youngster Charles Pic will partner Germany's Timo Glock at Marussia next year in place of Belgian Jerome d'Ambrosio, the renamed Virgin Racing Formula One team said on Sunday. Charles in the cockpit of the Virgin Racing VR-02 during Abu Dhabi young driver test The 21-year-old Pic, who has been competing in the GP2 feeder series for the past two seasons, did his first laps in a Formula One car at a test in Abu Dhabi last week. "As a driver you always feel you are ready for the next opportunity but in Abu Dhabi last week it was a tough test," he said in a statement released after the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix. "The team gave me some fantastic opportunities to learn new things but I also knew I had to impress them and show them I was ready to do a good job. "I was pleased with my performance and obviously the team were too so a very good start but this is just the beginning and I know a lot of hard work is ahead of me to reward this chance," added Pic. France has no existing Formula One driver but is likely to have two next season with Romain Grosjean, this year's GP2 champion, strongly tipped for a place at Renault instead of Brazilian Bruno Senna. Charles is the new kid on the F1 block British-based Virgin are changing the team name to Marussia, the Russian sportscar maker that is their main stakeholder, while Renault will be renamed Lotus. Virgin team principal John Booth said Pic, who may bring substantial backing with him, had been on their radar for some time. "Winter testing will be upon us before we know it so it is actually a relatively short space of time ahead with a lot for Charles to get used to. But he is an extremely determined young guy and he worked very well with the team last week," he said. "He has an extremely mature head on young shoulders so I have no doubt he will be working very hard over the winter to prepare for his debut season." The announcement of Marussia's lineup leaves former champions Williams and Renault as the main focus of media speculation about 2012 seats although Force India, HRT and Toro Rosso have yet to confirm their drivers. There could also be further change at Team Lotus, where Jarno Trulli's position could be at risk despite the Italian having a contract. Tweet

By Emma Chesworth of Laureus
On the spot in New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup
I wonder how many people in New Zealand know there will be a General Election next month? Right now – it is all about the Rugby World Cup. TV news, the papers and radio stations talk about nothing else.
Last Sunday, 97% of all TV sets in New Zealand were tuned in to the All Blacks v Wallabies semi-final. The game was airing on four (yes four!) networks – TVNZ, TV3, Maori and Sky NZ. What were the other 3% watching?
I attended the England 2015 launch last night – as England will be the host nation for the Rugby World Cup in four years time – and the controversy of 'that Red Card' from Saturday still rages on.
Former England player, now journalist, Will Greenwood told me: "There have been four so-called spear tackles in this year's tournament, with one yellow card and one red. Where's the consistency in that? If you follow the strict letter of the law, then Warburton's red was merited. But if you look at the established precedent, added to the fact the occasion in question was a Rugby World Cup semi-final, then in my view the sending-off was not warranted."
The Welsh would love to be playing in the final rather than Friday night's bronze play- off. For the record, the local media consider Wales to be the second best team in the tournament!
Lawrence Dallaglio, Laureus Ambassador and now TV pundit, fears the French have little chance. "If they go out to try and contain the All Blacks, they could end up going down by 50 points".
Former Kiwi great John Kirwan is less convinced. "The French are at their most dangerous when they have nothing to lose."
The French former Chairman of Rugby World Cup and the current President of Biarritz, Marcel Martin, offered the most intriguing insight that I have heard to date.
"The French have never learned to deal with the tag of favourites. Against England, they weren't favoured to win. Against Wales they were tipped to lose but they started well, then as soon as Warburton was sent off, and the balance was tipped in the French favour, strangely their game went to pieces. When they go into a game as favourites they win maybe six times out of ten. But when they go in as the underdogs they also win maybe six times out of ten too." It's a thought.
No one is giving them a chance here. The New Zealand locals have already awarded themselves the Cup, but the locals would be foolish to write the French off.
As for the rest of the news, the papers are crowing about the NZ$700 million injection of cash into the economy directly attributable to Rugby World Cup tourism. The Europeans have spent the most per visitor – and the Australians have been the most careful with their money. (Not sure how they find out these figures!)
Last weekend, in Auckland alone, foreign credit card transactions amounted to NZ$5.3m…and the party is showing no signs of slowing down. This weekend will be wild.
I will post the latest news as the final draws ever closer.

The Newburgh-Beacon Bridge is months away from a facelift. A section of the span is set to be replaced. YNN's Elaina Athans has the latest on the multi-million dollar project and how it will impact your daily commute.
HIGHLAND, N.Y. -- Bids opened in the single largest project in the New York State Bridge Authority's 80 year history.
"This is a a very critical link for Upstate New York," said New York State Bridge Authority Executive Director Joseph Ruggerio.
The state will be replacing the south span of the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge and a room full of hopeful contractors are eager to do the work. Ten bids were submitted ranging from $93 to $116 million. A recent Bridge Authority toll increase will help pay for construction.
"Its life cycle has been exhausted," said Ruggerio. "A bridge deck takes the most wear and tear from traffic, with all the travelers and tractor travelers."
More than 25 million vehicles cross over the Newburgh-Beacon every year. It is the most traveled corridor under the Bridge Authority's umbrella.
Work on the south span's replacement is expected to start at the end of March or beginning of April. "It'll be done at night. It'll be done in phases and it's over a three year period, so it'll cause the less amount of disruption to the traveling public," said Ruggerio.
There will be times though, as traffic will be reduced to one lane. The construction job should take three years and generate up to 300 off shoot jobs.
"We're going to put a lot of local people to work for many years," said Ruggerio.
But these jobs won't be created and project won't start until the Bridge Authority selects a winner. The agency will take the next week or so to vet the ten bids and make a pick.

Apple sued by iPhone-4S user over voice assistant (Siri)
Robbins Geller, representing a New-Yorker sues Apple for false publicity, claiming that the company's advertisements convey a "misleading and deceptive message" with respect to Siri's capability.
As per the description given by Apple on its website, "Siri, is the iPhone 4S app that lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. Ask Siri to do things just by talking the way you talk. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and even talks back. Siri is so easy to use and does so much, you'll keep finding more and more ways to use it".
Frank M. Fazio, after purchasing iPhone 4S from Brooklyn last November, feels that he has been hard done and the same led to him filing a suit in the federal court on Monday.
"In many of Apple's television advertisements, individuals are shown using Siri to make appointments, find restaurants, and even learn the guitar chords to classic rock songs or how to tie a tie. In the commercials, all of these tasks are done with ease with the assistance of the iPhone 4S's Siri feature, a represented functionality contrary to the actual operating results and performance of Siri."
Mr. Fazio alleged that Siri is sluggish in real life. When asked to give directions to a certain place, "Siri either did not understand what Plaintiff was asking, or, after a very long wait time, responded with the wrong answer."
(Disclosure: We own an iPhone 4S, and Siri has been generally responsive to our requests for directions. Even in Midtown traffic.)
The lawsuit, demanding unspecified damages, states Siri is "at best, a work-in-progress." When asked that whether her makers have inflated her actual worth Siri stated, "We were talking about you, not me."
An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment on pending litigation.
However, legal experts are of the opinion that as Siri is only a beta version, thus the lawsuit seems childish and Apple might counter-sue Mr. Fazio for the legal expenses caused to them.

As a carpenter, fiddler and eventually owner of a grocery store he contributed much to the built environment and fabric of daily life in Stillwater and Shakopee. His diary is in the collections of MHS and gives a remarkable depiction of everyday life and commentary of the times of his day. P.S.

Genesis by StudioPress is the best WordPress theme framework available. I have already posted how easy it is to add custom opt-in form in genesis. So, in this post I will be posting an easy way to add custom social share buttons in Genesis without using any WordPress plugin. The problem with using plugins for everything is that, some of them contain extra functions and capabilities which you don't even require and which you will never use, also some plugins make your WordPress website slow and heavy. I agree that some plugins are necessary for your WordPress site, you can keep your website fast by minimizing HTTP requests, while still using those important plugins. But for adding social share buttons to your WordPress site, you do not need to use any plugin.
This is going to be a very simple tutorial, even if you don't know anything about PHP and CSS, you can go through this tutorial and copy the code from the bottom of this post, it is as simple as that. In the last part of this tutorial, I have included final code.
A brief view of the steps that we are going to follow:
- Finding the default share URL structure of social media sites
- Adding the WordPress PHP functions to default URLs
Using the font awesome icons,we will be using default WordPress dashicons instead. Placing the PHP using Genesis Hooks, we will place code directly into functions.php file of child theme.
- Customizing the buttons using CSS
Default Share URLs of Social Media Sites:
Source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12448134/social-share-links-with-custom-icons
WordPress PHP Functions
Replace [TITLE] with
Replace [URL] with
You can replace other text with WordPress functions in the same way. Here is the full list of WordPress functions: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference
I am using Facebook, Twitter and Google+ share buttons on my blog so After replacing [TITLE] and [URL] by WordPress functions, the share URLs look like the following.
Google Plus
Using WordPress Dashicons to Add Custom Icons
Dashicons are the best way to add different icons on your website. This step is optional, I am using dashicons because it makes your buttons look even better and are already included in WordPress 3.8 and above.
- So, first of all enable dashicons by adding the following code to functions.php file of your child theme.
Placing the PHP Code in Single Posts Using Genesis Hooks
This is how my final code looks after assigning different class to every button. The reason behind different class is very simple, it makes thing easier and you can edit each button separately.
If you are a beginner and have no idea about codes, just use the final two codes below. Place the following code in your site Genesis simple hooks plugin, as explained below.
This is the final code.
Now, simply add the code below to functions.php file of your child theme.
I am using WordPress conditional tag if (is_single() ) here, because I only want to display these buttons only on single posts.
Tip: If you want to use these buttons on posts as well as the pages use this conditional tag instead if ( is_page() || is_single() )
Customizing the Social Share Buttons
If you are familiar with CSS already, you can customize the CSS according to your need. But, this is how I customized my Genesis social shared buttons. Remember the dashicons CSS we added to the blog and the different class we used for every button? That will help us now, customizing the buttons. Place the code below in style.css file of your child theme.
This is the final CSS style.
Add the CSS code to style.css file of your child theme. If your Genesis child theme is responsive, these icons will adjust themselves according to the device's width. These buttons will not overlap anything unlike those broken social share plugins.
Here is the final outcome
Screenshot from small screen device
These icons will change their width automatically on smaller screens.

Awesome guide for me. Thanks for this. Can you please tell me how can I add those Facebook, Twitter and Google+ logo in corresponding buttons?
Thanks Sachin, Just what i've been looking for!
Sachin, no doubt it's a great post. Social buttons are an important thing to blog or a website for sharing it on social media. Thanks for sharing this information with us. If you describe the process more convenient and comprehensively then it will be also useful for beginners.
Hi Sachin,
thanks for this tutorial!
I'm a complete beginner and I'd like to ask you if you can help me in inserting these custom share buttons after the post excerpts, but only in my home page: is there any "conditional" php code I can put
in simple hooks or in the functions.php file? In the home page I use the "Genesis Featured Widget" and the "Genesis sandbox featured content widget"
Here's a screenshot to clarify where I'd like the buttons to appear (the site is online): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2001929/socks-studio-home.jpg,
Thank you! (all help is appreciated)
Thank you for the great tutorial!
Is there any way social sharing will open a small window of the relevannt sharing site?
Very god job!
Great tutorial on custom social buttons for the world's greatest framework – Genesis. I'm also a Genesis lover myself.
First time in this blog and it's a happy to see you're 19yrs just like me. I have a much faster solution for social buttons with Genesis child themes. That is Genesis Optimized Social Share plugin which does the task of adding social buttons without making a deadly impact to website loading time.
I hope this plugin would do something useful to you.

Genesis Developer
Hi, thanks for this tutorial. Please is there any way I can use this exact share button type on my blog that is not using Genesis? Please I need your help.
Hi Sachin,

And great article!
Few things I am interested to know..
How can I make the share buttons to show on top and below of the blog post?
Is there a way to add the social buttons on the blog page, on top of each excerpt?
Thank you so much for this! Works great! I'm sure this is a basic thing to do but how do I position them so they are below the post instead of above the post?
Also do you know of a way to add the dashicons so they can work almost as a widget where one could choose the social icons they want? Not so much for post share icons but instead for sidebar connect icons.
Thanks again!
I figured out how to move the below post but would still love to know if you know of a way to add the dashicons so they can work almost as a widget where one could choose the social icons they want? Not so much for post share icons but instead for sidebar connect icons.
Thanks again for the great tutorial!
Could you help me to integrate those buttons in the bootstrap theme of my website please, it would mean a lot for me and i would really appreciate it, thank you for your time
Sachin, it's a great post. But when I try to share your url http://www.bitdoz.com/1248/add-custom-social-share-buttons-in-genesis/ on facebook, Excerpt on facebook showing weird characters. I tried with a few more urls of your website but I got the same weird characters. This happened with my urls too. Any idea how to fix it. I'm using Genesis metro pro theme.

Thousands of audiophiles flock to Austin in September for Austin City Limits, a huge music event where the fest-goers look like rock stars and rock stars look like they'd not rather be anywhere else. When you're away from the stages, visit the other places that keep Austin beer-friendly and weird.
by Dan Oko
Deep in the heart of Texas, Austin offers a quirky hodgepodge of frolicsome college life, high-tech industry and an old-school cosmic cowboy vibe that never says die. The Lone Star capital also boasts Texas' liveliest brewing scene. Live Oak Brewing's (East Side, www.liveoakbrewing.com) European bent is best illustrated with its crisp, authentically Czech pilsner and malty seasonal Oaktoberfest, brewed with German malt and hops. You can also grab the brewery's Big Bark Amber alongside an indie flick at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema (Downtown, www.originalalamo.com). Founded by a pair of UT grads, Independence Brewing (South Austin, www.independencebrewing.com) opened in 2004. Its Bootlegger Brown offers a sweet mouthful of malt that's perfect for fall days; snag one on the popular brewery tour that takes place the first Saturday of each month. And though it brews just four regular beers, brand-spanking-new (512) Brewing (South Congress, www.512brewing.com) has made a mark on the hearts of beer-loving locals; don't miss the flagship Pale. Austin has a handful of brewpubs, too: Still smoky despite a citywide tobacco prohibition, dark 'n' dirty Lovejoy's (Downtown, 512.477.1268) is mere steps away from coed-clean 6th Avenue. The joint has four randomly rotating taps, not to mention tattoo-covered, leather-clad regulars who loyally fill growlers. Now in its fifth decade, the Draught House (Rosedale, www.draughthouse.com) exudes an English cottage feel; cozy up on alfresco benches or gaze at the 70-plus taps inside. The pub offers five to 10 house-brewed specialties at a time; keep an eye out for the velvety Vanilla Porter.
True to Austin's eclectic nature, local bars run the gamut from rundown to rockstar-ready. Grab a picnic table under the mist at the British-themed Dog and Duck (Downtown, www.dogandduckpub.com), and pair one of the 35 taps (which include selections from Real Ale, brewed in nearby Blanco) with the golden fish 'n' chips. On the South Congress "hip strip" known as SoCo sits the Continental Club (South Congress, www.continentalclub.com), which has hosted Americana, R&B and rockabilly acts since 1957; the no-cover Friday happy hour with band The Blues Specialists is a sure bet. But a visit to Texas wouldn't be complete without real, live honky-tonk: The Broken Spoke (South Lamar, www.brokenspokeaustintx.com) takes its boot-scooting as seriously as its chicken-fried steak, so show up early for dinner and dance lessons. If you'd rather not risk the contents of your mug doing the Electric Slide, park yourself at legendary Ginger Man (Warehouse District, www.gingermanpub.com), whose mind-blowing beer selection features the likes of Avery, Magic Hat and Deschutes. A good compromise for groups with varying tastes is the off-the-path Opal Divine's (6th Street, www.opaldivines.com), where every Monday is Belgian beer night, 30 taps sit alongside one of the state's largest Scotch lists, and happy-hour margaritas are a steal at $3.
Thanks to the emergence of a sophisticated culinary subculture, Austin cuisine no longer flip-flops between Tex-Mex and barbecue. Foodies should hit the upscale sushi parlor Uchi (South Lamar, www.uchiaustin.com), housed in a tastefully refurbished cottage, where Japan-trained chef Tyson Cole infuses fresh fish flown in daily with pomegranate, pumpkin seeds and poblano chiles. Another leader in the shift from hot-sauce to hot-ticket dining is executive chef Ryan Samson at Austin's top Italian restaurant, Vespaio (South Congress, www.austinvespaio.com). The artisanal, rustic-yet-sophisticated menu features handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza and house-cured hams and sausages Samson prepares with local pork. Don't let the wait time stump you; order at the bar, or try Vespaio's simmering bistro-style sibling, Enoteca, next door. Those with a yen for smoked meat but without the stamina for a Hill Country barbecue pilgrimage could do worse than Iron Works (Downtown, www.ironworksbbq.com). Since 1978, the former blacksmith shop overlooking Waller Creek has served up tender brisket, massive beef ribs and peppery pork tenderloin. Closing in on 30 years, Juan in a Million (East Side, www.juaninamillion.com) is a breakfast institution; choose between the migas and the patented Don Juan taco grande. You'll feel like you're on the outskirts of Acapulco at the elegant Fonda san Miguel (North Loop, www.fondasanmiguel.com), where cut-tin lanterns dangle from the ceiling and South-of-the-border ballads play quietly in the background. The meat-stuffed chile rellenos set the standard.
The vaulted ceilings and crystal chandeliers of the recently restored, 189-room Driskill Hotel (Downtown, www.driskillhotel.com) will make you swoon. The rooms are impeccable and appointed with antiques, and a top-shelf margarita at the second-floor piano bar perfectly jumpstarts an evening. At the poetic Hotel San José (South Congress, www.sanjosehotel.com), a converted SoCo motorcourt has given rise to a chic, Texas-zen home-away-from-home for touring musicians. Most evenings, the poolside gardens fill up with an affable mix of sleek professionals, cycling geeks and artists. Green travelers should snooze at Habitat Suites (Highland Mall, www.habitatsuites.com), where solar panels supplement the electricity, pesticide-free gardens make for a peaceful stroll, and breakfast is complimentary. A half hour outside town but well worth the drive, the Lake Austin Spa Resort (Steiner Ranch, www.lakeaustin.com) offers rejuvenation—for a price. Forty lakefront rooms spread over 19 Hill Country acres, and guests relax with yoga, aromatherapy massage and Japanese acupuncture.
Having nurtured the careers of country stars and alt rockers from Lyle Lovett to Stevie Ray Vaughn to Okkervil River, Austin is rightfully proud of its homegrown music scene—but if you're here for the three-day, eight-stage Austin City Limits Music Festival (Zilker Park, www.aclfestival.com), you already know that. But after the Beastie Boys, Pearl Jam and the other 128 bands, the sounds carry over to Austin's myriad live-music venues, where ACL acts have been known to play spontaneous late-night sets. Cactus Café on campus (University of Texas, www.utexas.edu) emphasizes acoustic music and singer-songwriters, while Stubb's (Downtown, www.stubbsaustin.com) and the cavernous La Zona Rosa (4th Street, www.lazonarosa.com) lure national acts. If you miss the fest, book a trip in November and catch the smaller-yet-more-manageable Fun Fun Fun Fest (www.funfunfunfest.com), an indie-band event that spotlights Texas artists and spans underground hip hop and modern punk. When you're sick of the crowds, cool down at Barton Springs Pool (Zilker Park, 512.476.9044), a 3-acre natural swimming hole (albeit banked by manmade concrete) that averages 68 degrees year-round. At sunset, there may be no better vista than from Mount Bonnell, the city's highest point with dynamite views of downtown and Lake Austin. From April to October, the evening flight of some 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats from the colonies under Congress Avenue Bridge (Downtown, www.batcon.org) offers a spectacle of another sort; call the Austin-American Statesman Bat Line (512.416.5700) for nightly emergence times. •[Photo, top: Dan Herron]

Does anyone know of any other companies other then dsc or afc ,that does floor planning?
Views: 550
Manheim offers floorplan financing through Manheim Auto Financial Services and you can find information at any Manheim Auction. Their rates and terms are pretty good compared to AFC and DSC.
Auto Use is another floorplan company out there nationally, although we don't use them.
There are smaller regional floorplan companies available, just do a Google search for used car dealer floorplan and you'll find some that way.
What state are you in?
Hello.... Auto Use floorplans are accepted nationwide at most auctions. They also offer a checkbook program for buying vehicles "off the street", a 360 day float option, and very reasonable fees.
For more information, visit www.PreferredFundingLLC.com and click on the floorplan tab.

State general fund receipts are now 2 percent below forecast for the first two months of fiscal year 2014.
(Published Sep 16, 2013)
Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) reported on Sept. 10 that net state general fund revenues totaled $1.295 billion for the month of August, which was $26 million, or 2 percent, less than forecast. For the first two months of fiscal year 2014, state general fund receipts are now $46 million, or 2 percent, below forecast.
The largest source of state tax collections, the individual income tax, was slightly below forecast with collections of $640.9 million, which was $3 million below the forecasted level. Corporate income tax collections totaled $27.4 million, which was $15.1 million below forecast. The largest variance occurred in "other revenues" which totaled only $138.5 million, or $38.2 million below forecasted levels. In contract, sales tax receipts were actually $30.6 million over forecast, totaling $488.2 million for the month.
MMB cautions that all results are preliminary and subject to revision. The memo includes a footnote that August revenue collections were lower than normal, in part, because the state's accounting system was down during equipment relocation over Labor Day weekend. This resulted in a single day's revenue being posted to the system in early September instead of in August. This amount will be included as September revenue in the October Revenue and Economic Update.
A more complete report covering the July, August, and September state general fund receipts will be issued as part of MMB's October Revenue and Economic Update. That report will also update fiscal 2013 revenues to reflect the official closing of the fiscal year.

Terms and Conditions
Holiday Gems Ltd - Conditions for our Agent Booking Services
These Booking Conditions, together with any other written information we brought to your attention before your booking was confirmed, form the basis of your contract for agent booking services with
Holiday Gems Ltd, 1st Floor, Dale House, Tiviot Dale, Stockport, Cheshire, SK1 1TB.
Reservations: 0871 911 0101 After Sales: 0871 911 0137 Fax: 0161 477 3555.
HolidayGems is a trading name of Holiday Gems Ltd (Company Registration Number. 5824929) and a fully-Bonded Trading Member(S6886) of The Global Travel Group Ltd (Company Registration Number. 2774722)((TGTG)).Calls to this number cost up to 10p per minute plus network extras.
Except where otherwise specified, we act only as agent in respect of all bookings we take and/or make on your behalf. For all arrangements, your contract will be with the supplier of the arrangements in question (the 'supplier(s)'). When making your booking we will arrange for you to enter into a contract with the applicable supplier(s) of the arrangements. Your booking with us is subject to these terms and conditions for our booking services, and the specific booking conditions of the relevant supplier(s) you contract with and you are advised to read both carefully prior to booking. In most cases that supplier will be The Global Travel Group Limited, whose terms and conditions of supply are detailed below.
These booking conditions and any agreement to which they apply are governed in all respects by English law. We both agree that English law (and no other) will apply to any dispute, claim or other matter which arises between us out of or in connection with your contract or booking.
When you make a booking you guarantee that you have the authority to accept and do accept on behalf of all members of your party, the terms of these booking conditions. The first named person on the booking will be the party leader and will be responsible for making all payments due to us.
In all cases where we send written documentation to you, it is your responsibility to check that all details are correct. If they are not you must immediately contact us to change or amend this to the correct details. Please note that administration charges may apply. Where you do not advise us within 48 hours of receiving our documentation, regretfully Holiday Gems Ltd cannot accept responsibility for any other charges incurred.
By clicking to book holiday arrangements and entering your personal and payment details on our website, you are making us an offer to purchase the arrangements selected, if they are available. When we receive this offer, we will contact the supplier of the arrangements concerned. Each supplier will require a short period of time to check to see if your chosen arrangements are still available at the price quoted. When you make an offer to us to purchase the arrangements selected and should those arrangements requested be available at the price quoted, a binding agreement will come into existence between us and your payment referred to in clause 2 below will be debited from your payment method. If the arrangements are available but not at the price quoted, we will contact you by telephone or email to give you the option to purchase the arrangements at the revised price however we will not debit any payment method should this be the case and will only debit your payment method once you have given us authority to do so. We will endeavour to contact you via email and/or telephone to let you know that your arrangements have been booked and in order to add any extra requirements to your booking (please refer to section 6). Please note that each booking is treated separately on our online booking system. If larger groups want to be sure of sufficient availability for any flights / hotels they should call our call centre. If two parts of the same group book online on two separate bookings and the holiday availability expires between the two bookings we regret therefore that we are unable to cancel the first booked holiday without applying cancellation charges as levied upon us by the tour operators, airline, brokers or accommodation provider concerned. Please note, an infant is classed as a child under 2 years of age at the time of returning into the UK.
Should cancellation of any order placed be requested, an order cancellation fee of £75 per person will apply. Additionally, should an order placed be confirmed, full cancellation charges as per section 29 of these terms and conditions will apply.
Should a duplicate booking situation occur, it should be noted that cancellation charges as per section 29 of these terms and conditions will apply to any duplicated order.
Alternatively to make a booking you can call our call centre on 0871 911 0103 These terms and conditions will apply. A binding agreement will come into existence between us when payment is processed.
We are extremely proud of our customer service record and at all times our personnel will assist with your enquiry, reservation grievance or otherwise with the utmost professionalism. Should you feel this is not the case please ask to speak to a senior member of our team. We do however reserve the right to record on file and terminate any call which we believe to be verbally abusive or offensive.
Should you have taken cancellation protection insurance for your accommodation during the online booking process or shortly afterwards and should you decide to cancel your holiday or a situation occur which may not be covered by your insurance relating to your accommodation only, you may cancel up to 8 days prior to departure and Holiday Gems Ltd will pay any/all cancellation charges associated with your accommodation. For clarity, in all cases and without question, you will NOT pay any such cancellation charges for your accommodation of the reason for holiday cancellation. For the avoidance of doubt, cancellation protection cover will only apply when the whole holiday is cancelled and will not be valid on "accommodation only†cancellations. If you have taken cancellation cover and wish to change your accommodation, the normal administration fees will be waivered however any new difference in cost must be paid at the time of amendment.
Bookings made via this website must be paid for in full at the time of booking via credit/debit card. For your convenience, a Part Balance and Full Balance online payment facility is available via the menu bar on the home page of www.holidaygems.co.uk. In the event that you book your holiday more than 14 weeks before departure and do not wish to pay in full please contact our reservation team on 0871 288 2003 where payment of a deposit to book your holiday may be possible. For the avoidance of doubt, as we release most tickets as soon as your holiday is booked it should not be assumed that your holiday has been paid in full. In all cases, your balance will be due 14 weeks prior to departure and it is essential that you pay your due balance at this time unless you have prior authorisation from a member of our team which was detailed and recorded at the time of your booking. If you are having difficulty in meeting the balance due date and where it is possible for us to allow extra time for you to pay the same, please note that there will be a £40 late payment fee which will be advised to you at that time and added to your balance. It is important to note however, that we may not be in a position to delay payment to our suppliers although you will be advised of this at the time of calling. Please refer to section 29 of these terms and conditions regarding cancellation charges should you decide to cancel or are unable to pay your full balance. Holiday Gems Ltd, reserves the right to charge a card holders original credit or debit card should subsequent cancellation charges apply. Part and Full Balance payments may now be paid on-line by visitingwww.holidaygems.co.uk and clicking on the "Payments†link on the top of the home page.
Please note that we may charge a credit or debit card charge for credit and debit card payments unless otherwise stated. We do however, reserve the right to review our commercial charging structure for Credit and Debit card charges at any time. It should be noted that should your order price not be available to confirm, our on-line team will recalculate the price of your new holiday arrangement taking account only of the total order price and not the breakdown of the same. For the avoidance of doubt, any difference in price offered to you will take account of the difference between the original total order price and the new cost offered.
For flight only and/or accommodation only bookings all monies that you pay to us for your arrangements will be held by us on your behalf until such time as they are paid to the supplier. For financial protection for packages please refer to paragraph 30 of these terms and conditions.
Where any refund is due to our customers howsoever caused, it should be noted that as Holiday Gems Ltd is a franchise member of the Global Travel Group Ltd, there are strict procedures in place regarding the securities of monies paid both in and out of the consumer Client Account which is operated and controlled for the securities of all consumer monies by the Global Travel Group Ltd. Where a refund is due, Holiday Gems Ltd will issue a refund instruction to the Global Travel Group Ltd however, it is not uncommon for any refund to take up to 7 working days to be processed through Global Travel Group Ltd finance procedures. We will however, endeavour to ensure your refund is processed within this timeframe.
Should you have made an order with ourselves, we reserve the right to charge an administration/cancellation fee of £199 per booking should a) your payment be declined and/or b) you do not reply to our requests for payment of the deposit or full balance (as indicated on your order at the time of booking) or c) where we have tried to contact you to discuss your order and ultimately you have not responded. We will allow a 36 hour period prior from the time of our first attempt to contact you prior to any administration/cancellation fee being levied. In addition Holiday Gems Ltd cannot be responsible for any error made on your order should you have failed to input personal contact details or any other detail correctly. It is important to note when placing an order, you should have sufficient funds available in order to secure the same should your order be bookable.
Please note, advertised information and prices may have changed by the time you come to book your holiday. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of information and prices when published, regrettably errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen holiday (including the price) at the time of booking. Please bear in mind that accommodation owners, restaurateurs, night club owners etc, may wish to maintain or improve their facilities, or even take a break themselves. Flight times and carriers are given for guidance only as there may be changes. Circumstances such as these, or weather conditions, time of year etc., may cause some of the amenities we have described to be unavailable or different from those advertised. When we are told of any significant or long term changes we will always endeavour to advise you prior to your departure. There may also from time to time be general refurbishment at these establishments. These are necessary to maintain standards but if we are informed of such work, we will endeavour to notify you of any activity as soon as possible, however near to your departure this may be.
Despite every effort to ensure availability of the prices we display are kept as up to date as possible, we would like to point out that in line with nearly all other UK online travel companies, availability on this site is not live and may change at any time. When your order is processed and should the advertised price not be available a member of our online team will endeavour to meet the price of your original order and/or provide you with the nearest possible alternative flight/price available in the market at that time. No responsibility or liability can be accepted by Holiday Gems Ltd for price fluctuations that may occur however, we guarantee that we will always provide our customers with the lowest possible flight prices that are available to us at that time. It should also be noted that it does not necessarily follow that a direct airline price for flights will be reciprocated by Holiday Gems Ltd as we purchase flights in a variety of ways.
Despite our best endeavours to ensure that the many data feeds available on our website are kept up to date and regularly update, Holiday Gems Ltd can take no responsibility or liability for any technological deficiencies which may occur however we undertake that we will always take the appropriate action should we find or be informed of any fault of any data feed on our website.
Please note that most airlines do not include hold baggage within the cost of their flights. Where this is the case extra charges will apply. Please check at the time of booking that hold baggage is included within your booking. It is your responsibility to ensure you have sufficient baggage allowance. Please be aware that hold baggage weight restrictions may also vary between airlines. Unfortunately, it is also not uncommon for restrictions regarding purchase of luggage being on a "none or all" basis on the flights we sell.
Currently, all hand luggage is FREE (ranging from 5kg's to unlimited per person) for all orders placed on this site however and as mentioned, in line with the majority of UK airlines, hold luggage charges vary from £20-£40 (short-haul) or £30-£40 (long-haul) each way per suitcase and weight allowance per suitcase will also vary between 15kg's and 22 kg's. It should be noted that some airlines also place compulsory "admin fees" or "check-in charges" relating to luggage charges. Once an order has been processed and confirmed, a member of our on-line team will endeavour to call you in order to add any optional extras you may require. For the avoidance of doubt, it should also be noted that it does not necessarily follow that a direct airlines price or policy of charging for luggage will be reciprocated by Holiday Gems Ltd as we purchase flights in a variety of ways and in this respect we reserve the right to do so. Luggage charges may be considerably more when paying at check-in and our advice is to pre-book any hold luggage you require prior to departure. If /Where mentioned, should you decline luggage at the time of booking and subsequently call to add this at a later date, your booking will be subject to an administration charge which will be levied at that time.
As highlighted above and due to changes in the Airline industry, optional extras are not included in any web prices advertised. For example, optional items such as extra leg room, priority boarding, pre-allocated seating and meals on the aircraft etc are chargeable extras. In many cases optional extras will be limited and are at the discretion of the airline concerned.
In line with all our suppliers, we categorise accommodation ratings to give a general guide. Therefore and for the avoidance of doubt, any and all star ratings we advertised are based on the accommodation ratings issued by our suppliers in accordance with their own grading systems which may vary by supplier. For example, a property we advertise may be featured by many suppliers however each supplier may grade the same differently and you should take note when searching your accommodation that each supplier grading is available to you by clicking the "more info" button on each "room description". It is also extremely important to note that supplier ratings are based on many things which are relative to that supplier ie, some may grade their accommodation from reviews received from previous customers, some may base on country ratings of hotel origin or even from their own personal inspections and in summary accommodation grading's should a) only ever be used as a guide and b) may differ to the official rating advertised by a hotel directly. Please also note, standards may vary between accommodations of the same class in different countries. As mentioned and to re-iterate, it is important to carefully read the individual accommodation descriptions. A comparison of cost may also give some idea of how accommodation in the same resort / country is likely to compare in terms of general standards. Accommodation, whatever the rating, is based on a twin or double standard room unless otherwise stated. You should also note and never assume that information or descriptions advertised via the direct Hotel or Apartment website will be the same as those advertised on our own, simply due to the fact that our suppliers may negotiate certain differences in the interests of gaining price advantages for our customers and over their competitors.
It is a condition of our accepting your booking that the person who makes it is at least 18. We are entitled to assume that this is the case. Under no circumstances can we accept bookings from anyone who is under 16. At our discretion, we may accept a booking from a person who is 16 or 17 and not accompanied by an adult providing the lead passenger obtains and sends to ourselves by FAX or Scanned Copy, confirmation from their parent or guardian that they may travel, that the parent or guardian will accept responsibility for the booking and that the party does not include anyone who is under 16. For the avoidance of doubt, we are entitled to assume the aforementioned will be sent to us following confirmation of booking. We are entitled to cancel any booking which is made in breach of any of these requirements. In this case, full cancellation charges will be payable.
Notwithstanding the aforementioned, it should be noted that UK airlines have differing age restrictions and accordingly, you will be advised should an Airline refuse the right of carriage to any person under it's age limit when not accompanied by an adult. Should an order be made and subsequently cancellation of the same requested, an administration charge of £75 per person will apply.
If you have cause to complain prior to your departure "pre-departure grievance", you should call or email us in the first instance and we will do our utmost to deal with and resolve your grievance.
If you have cause for complaint whilst on holiday, you must bring this to the attention of the local Representative or Agent (if there is one) and the establishment of where you are staying who will do their best to rectify the situation and prevent your holiday being spoilt. If there is no local Representative or Agent, you must, in the first instance contact us on the Emergency Number as detailed on your accommodation/transfer voucher or secondly via the number listed on your ATOL receipt if you have booked a package holiday with us. For noting, the Emergency number is 00447984456851. You should note that it is unreasonable to take no action whilst on holiday, but to then write a letter of complaint upon return. If you remain dissatisfied, you must write to us within 28 days of your return from holiday giving your booking reference and full details of your complaint. Please note, we reserve the right to only accept complaints in writing and complaints via e-mail will not be accepted. Complaints must only be addressed from the legal lead name of your booking. If you fail to follow this simple complaints procedure (in resort and on your return home), your right to any compensation you may otherwise have been entitled to may be affected or even lost as a result. Should we receive your complaint, a letter of acknowledgment will be sent to you within 28 days of receiving your grievance following which you should allow a period of a further 60 days in order that we can make necessary investigations into the same. Should responses not be forthcoming from any supplier or broker or we remain dissatisfied with the response/s we have received, we will inform you accordingly of any extra time that may be required in order to fully respond to you. Please note that this clause is only intended to benefit you as we require full and detailed responses to any issues raised which, in peak occupancy season becomes problematic for suppliers or hoteliers to respond within our normal and required timeframe.
For the avoidance of doubt, it is important you note that although and in the first instance Holiday Gems Ltd will try and resolve any complaint that you may have, legal responsibility for your complaint may not necessarily lie with Holiday Gems Ltd. For clarity, Holiday Gems Ltd would be responsible for booking errors which have been caused by a failure on the part of Holiday Gems Ltd, however responsibility for complaints concerning your package holiday would lie with the tour operator as detailed on your confirmation, who's booking terms and conditions apply. Our duty as your agent and not Principal or Tour Operator in your transaction is to seek first line resolution to your complaint and we will endeavour to do so however, should you remain dissatisfied you should note that Package Travel Regulations would apply (in most cases) to the ATOL holder 3973 (Global Travel Group Ltd, Glendale House, Glendale Avenue, Sandycroft, Deeside , CH5 2DL) who's booking conditions apply. You are able to identify this from reading your ATOL receipt where the number of the ATOL holder will be present in the case of any package holidays booked by ourselves.
If you wish to make a special request, you must do so at the time of booking using the special requests section on the secure payment page. We will pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier but we cannot guarantee that requests will be met. The fact that a special request has been noted on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation or that it has been passed on to the supplier is not confirmation that the request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part.

CTA subway, under Lake St. & LaSalle in the Loop | Sun-Times files
Article Extras
Updated: November 5, 2013 6:23AM
Blue and Red Line subway riders would be able to receive emails, text friends and browse the Internet under a plan announced Thursday to upgrade the agency's underground wireless network.
The Chicago Transit Authority Thursday plans to boost the subway wireless network from the first-generation 1G technology, which supports mostly basic phone functions, to more current and versatile 4G.
"I think that's great,'' Red Line rider Ronny Polk, 39, said Thursday. "I'd be able to use my Internet and all the data on my phone.''
Now, after the Red Line goes into a tunnel somewhere after 35th Street, his smartphone is almost useless.
"It's dead. There's no signal,'' Polk said.
Emails pop up late, some incoming calls wind up in voicemail, and he can't access the CTA bus tracker to find out what time a connecting bus will be available when he gets off the Red Line.
The CTA wireless system dates back to 2005 and cost $12 million to install. The CTA leases its underground wireless service to six vendors — Verizon, Sprint, ATT, T-Mobile, Cricket and U.S. Cellular — for $1.8 million annually.
"The infrastructure was pioneering for the transit industry when it was installed and through this upgrade initiative, CTA looks to lead in the industry once more by offering a fully-operational, 4G network across all major wireless service providers," CTA President Forrest Claypool said in a statement.
Requests for qualifications of possible bidders were posted Thursday, with responses due by Nov. 14, CTA spokeswoman Catherine Hosinski said. At the earliest, work would start in mid-2014, with the current wireless network remaining operational until upgrades are completed.
The project will be funded through CTA's annual capital program.
The CTA's tunnels speed travelers underground on the Blue and Red Lines, where subways cover 12 miles underground but separate into 24 miles of individual tunnels.
Blue Line rider Lupe Martinez, 24, said a 4G connection would definitely be helpful as subway trains barrel underground.
"Once I hit those tunnels, I really don't have service,'' Martinez said Thursday. "I'm on my phone, looking things up, and I realize I don't have an Internet connection. I'm looking at email and it kind of stops until I get to another area. So I think it would be great.''
