Immigrants display revenue generating prowess in run up to Tax Day |
Published on Wed, Apr 14, 2010
Immigrant families in Detroit, Columbus and Cincinnati on Wednesday gathered outside public buildings holding signs with the slogans "We love taxes!" and "Viva Taxes" in an effort to show that immigration reform would bring needed revenue to the government.
Similar demonstrations are planned for Thursday, Tax Day, in San Francisco and Washington, DC.
A recent report from the Immigration Policy Center and the Center for American Progress showed that legalizing undocumented immigrants would generate between $4.5 billion and $5.4 billion in tax revenue over 3 years.

Now that the legendary Nichols Lunch has been given both a new life — as Mama's 39th Street Diner — and a facelift only slightly less dramatic than the one that septuagenarian actress Mary Tyler Moore is sporting these days, I'm free to hope that some other late, great Kansas City restaurants might be resurrected. Or at least brought back from purgatory, as is the case of the beloved Stroud's, which is scheduled to return at 4200 Shawnee Mission Parkway in Fairway. That building is undergoing some cosmetic surgery, too.
I'm not as optimistic that some brave entrepreneur will want to breathe new life into the warren of aging dining rooms that was once called Stephenson's Old Apple Farm Restaurant, which closed last spring after six decades of serving baked chicken and apple dumplings. I was kind of hoping that if the actual venue couldn't be revived, maybe the brilliant minds running the Cordish Company would open a new Stephenson's in the Power & Light District. It sounds so much more appealing to me than most of the corporate chain operations scheduled for the complex, but only if the kitschy décor were part of the deal. And the apple fritters.
OK, so Stephenson's may not come back to life, but the good news is that another Independence restaurant, Clem's Drive-In (10802 East 23rd Street), is returning from the dead. The classic Kennedy-era drive-in closed last March, but on Monday, I received a phone call from the new owner, Bob Andrist, who just purchased the operation with his wife, Janet. "Janet will actually be running the place," Bob says. "And the former owner, Brent Gilbert, is teaching us how to make everything on the original menu — the crumbly hamburgers, the tenderloins, even the fried-pork-brain sandwiches."
The Andrists hope to have Clem's officially reopened on March 1. "We wanted to reopen Clem's," Bob Andrist says, "because it's an important part of Independence history. And we have a lot of kids. If they take over from us, it might stay open for another half-century."
Some restaurants are too fabulous to fade away.

Toru, a quiet and preternaturally serious young college student in Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before.

I am looking to brew something on Fathers Day this year and I want to burn up a pound of whole cone cascade hops. I do 10 gallon batches. IPA is the obvious choice, but i want to switch it up for this one. Maybe an imperial brown?
Ken Schramm's "Hefty Braggot" might be a novel alternative. If you make it now, it ought to be ridiculously good by the time cold weather hits again. If you do try this, don't use the wine yeast as he recommends. I did that the first time I made this with bad results (stuck at 1.052). Scottish ale yeast is perfect for this recipe. Just mash a couple degrees lower and it all comes out just fine.
Don't worry, be hoppy.
Whenever I have hops to burn, I just put them in my chimney charcoal ignitor and let-er-rip. That braggot sounds good, though.
"I can't believe how many people think Air Lock is pronounced Hydrometer." -BigKahuna "If you gave me a beer with placenta in it without telling me I would kick you in the nuts." -ODaniel "We be in a big hurry for dope beer with much alcamahol and flavor, quality, balance, and aroma don't matter. We just wantz to be druck, u know?" -Yooper
I've read The Compleat Meadmaker, but haven't made the Hefty Braggot recipe. It looks real good though. It calls for 5oz of Cascade, but he says you can double the additions if you love hops. So +1 on that. Along these same lines, you can go for really nice and hoppy Barleywine. Similar to a dIPA, but more malt forward and different enough to be considered. Plus, because the malt profile is so intense and you have to age it so long, you can hop the hell out of it. Some 2-row or Maris Otter and a healthy amount of Munich and Crystal and you're in business. I've never made an all Cascade Imperial Stout (I like to mix with Northern Brewer), but you might be able to use a small chunk of that pound making one. I imagine this would work well in your proposed Imperial Brown as well, as Cascade really melds well in those roasty, chocolatey beers. Or I can PM you my address and you can send them to me .
Hmmm, I had a beer from a cask at a local craft-brew hot spot down here in the south that used Cascade only. It was an excellent beer, maybe because I paid premium for it? Heh, anyhow, it's one of those all-purpose hops that I don't think you can go wrong.
There's always a hop-bursted extra pale ale.
Hopbursting will surely be part of the equation, I think I want something in that 1.070 to 1.090 OG, this really isn't even a style I guess, but what about double pale ale? Like an IPA, but just not as dried out with a little balance towards malt with an OG at 1.070 and use some english yeast?
An IPA is technically the step up from a pale ale. Pale ale style guidelines are what keep it a pale ale, i.e. gravity usually below 1.060 and a bu:gu ratio to match. Bring the gravity and IBU's up and you just have an IPA. Or, are you talking about keeping a ~40-45 IBU beer but pumping up the gravity and making it more malt forward and unbalanced in the sense of bitterness? Remember, when you hop burst the resulting beer is not as bitter. A 45 IBU bittering addition will be much stronger and last longer than a 45 IBU 20 minute addition. I'm not telling you not to brew what you describe, just trying to figure out the method behind it. Best part about homebrewing is brewing what you want
Looks really good to me. I love Victory in pales and IPAs. Cascade blends really well with crystal 60 too. I say just pump the IBUs a little as I mentioned before to compensate for bitterness loss. Please let us know if you brew this and how it turns out as I'm highly interested.

As the years have led to urban expansion, only one Los Angeles winery has stood the test of time. The San Antonio Winery and Restaurant in Lincoln Heights is so beloved as a local drinking institution, it was given cultural monument status in 1966. Since then, the hidden-away winery, down a few side streets in an industrial part of the downtown area, has been quietly serving up glasses of fine wine from their Italian-style villa. Terracotta roofs and tall greenery line the exterior of this operational winery, which has been bottling since 1917. Free wine tastings and tours are available daily, and the attached Maddalena restaurant serves homey Italian food.

When you walk into Bacaro, you're literally surrounded by wine. Look up and you'll see countless bottles encased in a glass display in the ceiling; look ahead and you'll see dozens more standing in neat rows behind the bar. A list of international, small-production wines fills one wall, scrawled on a chalkboard like a PTA's happy-hour menu. Rounding out the constantly changing selection is house-made sangria and an equally impressive lineup of international craft beers.
Executive chef Lior Hillel, who honed his skills at New York's illustrious Jean-Georges, prepares a menu that vibes with the focus on wine. Italian-style cicchetti?small-plate servings similar to tapas?are served in hot and cold varieties, ranging from poached shrimp in a citrus-chili sauce to a lamb-stuffed eggplant topped with lemon-garlic emulsion. These inventive sauces are some of the best parts of each dish, as the restaurant bottles and sells them both onsite and at Whole Foods and other local retailers.
Los Angeles Oktoberfest invites visitors to celebrate the changing seasons with two days of traditional Bavarian revelry. Hosted by Bob Guiney from ABC's The Bachelor, the festival invites attendees to fill their glass steins with any of the 19 available German beers and purchase hearty platefuls of bratwurst, giant pretzels, and strudel. Live bands lead traditional, sing-along drinking tunes, a Bavarian dance group performs for joyous audiences, and a strolling accordionist weaves through the crowds while playing familiar German melodies. In addition to bidding on sports memorabilia at the silent-auction table, patrons can also test their arm strength by competing in the stein-holding competition, which rewards the winners with lifetime admission to the Los Angeles Oktoberfest and a brand new pair of steel biceps to replace the old, used-up ones.

What percent attenuation do you normally get from extract brews? I've brewed 3 batches and they've always stopped at around 1.02 FG and had attenuation in the 60's how about you guys?

I partial mash, but I get around 75-80% depending on the yeast strain and extract brand. I have had very good luck with the extract AHS sells. It's all about pitching a large starter (or equivalent amount of rehydrated dry yeast), providing the yeast with readily available nutrients and starting fermentation cool and letting it slowly rise during the last states of fermentation.

June 11, 2013 – Frenchman Arnaud Demare of FDJ was the surprise winner of the fourth stage of the Tour of Switzerland on Tuesday.
Home hope Mathias Frank kept hold of the leader's yellow jersey after finishing the 161km stage from Innertkirchen to Buochs safely in the peloton.
Sprint favorites Peter Sagan, the winner of Monday's third stage, and Tom Boonen were boxed in on a 90-degree bend 200-meters from the end and Demare surged through to take the victory from Australia's Matthew Goss with American Tyler Farrar in third.
Frank leads Roman Kreuziger by 23sec overall with last year's winner Rui Da Costa third at 35sec.

DEFINITION of 'Buy To Open'
A term used by many brokerages to represent the opening of a long call or put position in option transactions. A "buy to open" order has a distinguishing characteristic where the option position is not held short in the account during the transaction. The "sell to close" order is used to exit a position taken with a "buy to open" order.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Buy To Open'
The buy and sell terminology for options trading is not as straightforward as it is for stock trading. Instead of simply placing a "buy" or "sell" order as they would for stocks, options traders must choose among "buy to open," "buy to close," "sell to open," and "sell to close." Beginning options traders should ensure that they understand the terminology and that they place their orders carefully to avoid preventable mistakes.

This is one of the bits I don't like about dating. It's one of the bits that makes me think about whether I'm actually cut out to date at all. It would be easier if he was mean, or we didn't get on. It wouldn't feel like I was being mean if he started it.
All dating resolutions, whether it's to go on one date or more every week, connect with more people on and offline or ditch toxic relationship patterns and sticking with those resolutions will pay off in the long term.
At the end, no one wants to get hurt again. Or no one wants to invest their time in romancing and find that only a few months down the line 'not to be chosen'. Rejection hurts. Bad relationships hurt as well.
If truth be told, it's about time I put myself back in the shop window for real now. No more excuses. No more "it's too soon", or "I've got to put the kids first", or even "I'll write a book about it instead of doing it for real".
The dating process is full of trial and error. Yet, the mistake that most people make is constantly going through the trial part and not learning from the errors that follow along. Reviewing these mistakes and not falling into them can be just what you need to increase your chances in finding love.
Love doesn't make sense. Love isn't supposed to. Love is here to catch you off guard, surprise the heck out of you, to show up when you aren't expecting it and make a mess of things. Love's job is to challenge you, make you a better person, sustain you through difficult times.
A lot of men get confused between a dating app and a sex line, there are too many to mention who start off with polite conversation and when you exchanged numbers the first message on What's App is a selfie of them in the bathroom mirror with a pair of bulging Calvin Klein's, some even ditch the boxers and go straight for the kill - what are they thinking?
The upcoming year is the year that you're going to find love the effortless way. As a dating coach I help singles with the process, making it fun and manageable. Here are just a few of my dating expert tips to help you find the love that you are looking for.
The most important thing I want to teach you is that you don't have to write long essays to get a reply. You'll be contacting lots of people every day, so sending long messages can really zap your energy and motivation. If they are popular they won't have time to read everything anyway, so short messages will get their attention.
The night itself was jam packed with everyone from the big online dating companies such as eHarmony, Lovestruck and Guardian Soulmates, to TV dating expert Jo Hemmings and the glossy magazines who write about all things love, dating and breakups.
What an atrocious night for a date. Why the hell would anyone ever agree to go out on a first date on a Friday night? It's the most exciting night of the week for people with grown-up jobs. For those that remember how to pull in the real world, it's the best night of the week for that.
Right. It's October. Most people are giving up drinking this month but I'm giving up not dating for 30 consecutive days. How? With my trustee little instant date genrating device - Tinder. Ooh, but how are you going to raise money for charity by dating?
It seems no part of the gym is off limits when it comes to being chatted up or flirted with or, in the most extreme of cases and depending on your proximity to Vauxhall, a spot of shagging. The sunbed room at my gym - 12 tubes, an Ikea chair and a bin filled with discarded wet wipes - is almost always occupied and I have never seen any ultra violet light beaming from under that door.
The 'But I thought we really got on!' date is one where, despite having an apparently successful evening, the proverbial phone line goes dead and you are left wondering what the hell happened.
Is online dating taking over your life? Here are 17 warning signs that you're addicted to the thrill of the digital chase.
More and more people are signing up to the hundreds of paid and 'free' dating sites to be found on the net. If you're tempted, what you are really getting is a place on the web where you can post your details for strangers to read, and be able to contact you.

Michael Mann Will Invest in 'Gold'
In Development By Nathan Adams on April 13, 2011 | Be the First To CommentInvest his time that is. There's a famous quote from the cinema classic City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold that I've taken into my heart and try to live by. Jack Palance, playing Curly's twin brother Duke, remarks to Billy Crystal's character Mitch, "Curly was wrong, there's two things. Whatever the hell this is… and gold." What does this have to do with anything? Almost nothing. But Michael Mann is about to push a film called Gold up to the tippy top of his films-to-be-directed list. Gold is being described by The Hollywood Reporter as a modern take on a The Treasure of the Sierra Madre type story about competing gold prospectors chasing down the precious metal. I could always go for a good sweeping adventure story, and the mentioning of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre really gets my motor revving, but I'm very skeptical about this movie for two big reasons. The first is that I haven't been too wild about the things Michael Mann has done in the past decade. The second is that Mann is developing the film alongside Paul Haggis. While I enjoyed some of the episodes of Walker, Texas Ranger that Haggis wrote, I will never be able to forgive him for Crash. Ever since sitting through that film I make a face like I smelled a fart whenever I see his name. The script was written on spec by Friday Night Lights and The Chicago Code writers/executive producers Patrick Massett and […]

2003 Subaru Impreza Outback Problems
The head gasket has a high failure rate due to cooling system problems. Subaru is aware of the problem and has extended the warranty to 8 years/100k miles on many vehicles.
Front engine oil leaks can develop from the camshaft seal and the crankshaft front seal. If one or more seals require replacement, it may be wise to consider replacing the timing belt as well. These seals are commonly inspected and replaced as needed as part of a timing belt service.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate because of a failed knock sensor. Although the sensor often tests okay, it can fail intermittently, while the vehicle is being driven.

A team of friendly gurus runs each club. Fitness buffs of all buffness levels feel welcome in the fun and accommodating atmosphere at Washington Sports Clubs. During your two weeks, you get access to all the professional equipment, group exercise classes, locker rooms, and facility amenities offered (some group exercise classes require a reservation).

The faculty members at the School of Rock believe that immersion is the best way to learn any new skill, which is why they don't just teach students how to traverse the notes and rhythms of guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and vocals in isolation. In addition to teaching students the technical skills during one-on-one lessons, the professional music instructors push them to fuse their individual parts into songs during full band practices with fellow beginner rockers. This combination of one-on-one attention and cooperative group learning helps kids of all skill levels hone their craft while overcoming common pitfalls such as stage fright or playing off-tempo. As kids learn to shred riffs, pound out drum solos, and summon Ronnie James Dio by hitting the correct vibrato atop a silver mountain, the classes build their confidence and kick-start a lifetime of loving rock 'n' roll.
Established in 1858, the Boston Fencing Club stands today as one of the nation's oldest fencing clubs.

With five-time fencing Olympian Michael Marx directing, the club's time-tested fencing program services swordsmen of all skill levels, from 6-year-old beginners to professional marshmallow hunters. In class, adult and youth students learn the basics of the sport while wrapping their mitt around all three fencing weapons: the foil, the sabre, and the épée.
American Real Estate Academy has been helping students master the intricacies of property sales for 42 years. Its carefully selected instructors lead classes for neophytes looking to get their salesperson license, learn the ins and outs of the business, and find out the startling truth about where houses come from. The academy boasts higher test scores for its students than the state average, and many students go on to successful careers. The academy also helps real-estate veterans step up to a broker license in preparation to open their own office and work for themselves. Continuing-education courses keep professionals up to date on current rules and regulations, fulfilling state-mandated requirements and keeping licenses active.
Dale Carnegie believed in the power of self-improvement so much that he started a training company.

Online courses cover such topics as leadership training, sales success, and personal influence and effectiveness. All webinars, courses and materials are based on Dale Carnegie's time-honored approach, outlined in How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Facebook unveils plan for global domination
But only if you have friends
Msg#: 4119923 posted
9:16 am on Apr 22, 2010
(gmt 0)
Facebook set out its stall to unseat Google and be at the heart of the web experience... "We are building toward a web where the default is social," said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's founder.
Mr Zuckerberg unveiled a number of products aimed at putting users and their friends at the "centre of the web". The most significant was an open graph protocol to let publishers tag their content by type along with a "Like" button that partner sites put on their webpage. This allows users to indicate what they like on a website, be it from photographs to news items and from clothes to music.
That information will then be stored by Facebook the way it already stores connections between people. At the same time any website will be able to take those individual preferences and use them to tailor a more "personalised online experience" for the user and their friends.
Crucially all this can only happen when users are logged into Facebook and "makes it easy to make any page (on the internet) a Facebook page," said Bret Taylor Facebook's director of platform.
My, my, what ambition! Facebook as not just the 'portal' to the web, but in essence the gatekeeper as well. Rather tellingly, like all who start down the route to world domination, Zuckerberg used the 'good' word, much like Google. "...we hope we can be a good force..." he said.
All well and 'good', but what if you don't have friends, or many of them?

I'm with fearlessrick, Change or Die. Anyone making a living off the Internet has to have some concept of this, right?
I don't like this, I can't fully wrap my mind around where this is going. It could fail like so many of these ideas have before, but if it doesn't fail, it will likely be big, and I can't afford to be left behind.
I asked my teenage sons what they thought of this. To them, this is how the Internet should work. They can't believe that website managers would consider dismissing the idea before it's known if it is going to take off or not. They are the up and coming consumers and I can't afford not to listen to them.

Change or Die
That's a bit of an exaggeration, adopt and implement if you feel the need to but to state that by not using FB then the non-users will simply fade away into oblivion is slightly OTT.
We all know that there are many different user models out there therefore we use and adapt those we feel that best suit our own needs. I don't have a smart phone, I don't need a smart phone and 90+% of the people I know don't have them yet to listen to many people/industry pluggers I wonder how on earth these people existed before an app came along.
Anyway, I'm off for an early beer without all my FB acquaintances, they wouldn't know what real ale is anyway:-)

Am I the only one, or is the beginning of the end of FB.
Facebook, like a mirror, will feed our narcissistic egos, and will survive for a long time.
I've got a pretty big ego, it looks like I'm missing out on something good. I never opened a facebook account. Does that mean I'm too late? I want to be cool too.

I did a FB when it came out. I think I went back twice. Haven't pharted with it since. My eqo is Sequoia sized, but FB didn't do it for me. Seems to work for some, and that's a good thing I suppose. But FB is not Websites/Pages and all that privacy issues, even early on, creeped me out a bit.
All of this is interesting. I'll be watching from the sidelines as the infantry charge on, then make my future strategy decisions after the body count has been tabulated.

I personally don't use FB but my wife does, and so do many millions more of people. It seems to me that the important things to watch are the viral impact that could occur because of a like button. I just went to CNN.com and looked at a random front page story. There were 58 likes/recommends to the story, meaning that 58 people had done the "tell-a-friend" routine with one click instead of filling out a form.
We as a species tend to form groups with similar interests. So this 'like' feature could get your page sent to a group with similar interests. If the president of the Red Widget club likes my page on Red Widgets, then the only outcome will be more traffic. It doesn't matter if I am on FB, but it seems like my site had better be.

engine, there's a bunch of other interesting news about FB. There are 3 large investors: Peter Thiel, Accel Partners and Greylock
the real face behind Facebook is the 40-year-old Silicon Valley venture capitalist and futurist philosopher Peter Thiel. There are only three board members on Facebook, and they are Thiel, Zuckerberg and a third investor called Jim Breyer, from a venture capital firm called Accel Partners
THE THIRD BOARD member of Facebook is Jim Breyer. He is a partner in the venture capital firm Accel Partners, who put $US12.7 million into Facebook in April 2005. On the board of such US giants as Wal-Mart and Marvel Entertainment, he is also a former chairman of the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA)
Facebook's most recent round of funding was led by a company called Greylock Venture Capital, which put in the sum of $US27.5 million. One of Greylock's senior partners is called Howard Cox, another former chairman of the NVCA, who is also on the board of In-Q-Tel. What's In-Q-Tel? Well, believe it or not (and check out its website), this is the venture-capital wing of the CIA.
In-Q-Tel, which "identifies and partners with companies developing cutting-edge technologies to help deliver these solutions to the Central Intelligence Agency and the broader US Intelligence Community (IC) to further their missions"

Oh, and I guess on this note I should add the following, a 2004 Google "acquisition" of CIA-funded Keyhole from In-Q-Tel, which became "the best app ever" Google Maps. I guess this clears up why Google is hiding behind "2 girly founders" and can for some odd reason never get privacy issue straight.
October 27, 2004

Google Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG) today announced it acquired Keyhole Corp., a Mountain View, Calif.-based digital mapping company.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

And this can't be done with a toolbar, like every other social news site, why?
Every site may implement such a feature in a different place. With a toolbar the user always knows where to click. This isn't about enabling members, it's about getting web site owners to promote Facebook.

I write at least two articles (blog posts) every day and now tweet them and put them on my FB page. I don't really know if it's helping at all, but there's yet another thread where people are whining about April adsense income being in the pits, while mine is just about even to last April.
Coincidence, bold insight or dumb luck? Whatever it is, it's working for me.

Please don't use it, don't give them your data and control.
What data are you referring to? Afaik, the only data it passes is the URL and how many times a FaceBook user loves your web page. How does that cede control?
This is a widget that sends traffic. It's a tell-a-friend widget. If you have a fear about this tell-a-friend widget, instead of posting that it's "stupid" please state the specifics of why this widget is harmful or not beneficial. Nobody in this discussion has detailed WHY this widget should be avoided. If there is a reason to FEAR this then it would benefit the community for someone to state the details. So please, someone, anyone, please state the facts of why webmasters should not use this tell-a-friend widget. ;)
My personal opinion is that this is a GIFT. It's an opportunity to add an additional traffic stream to a website.
The purpose of this widget is to enable Facebook users to promote your website.
In my opinion that's a good thing, it's a GIFT.

Any member deemed by the Board to be acting in a way that jeopardizes the mission of the Consortium may have their membership revoked by rules of modified consensus. Any member whose membership has been revoked will receive written notification from the Board. Upon receipt of such notification, all rights and privileges of membership in the Consortium shall be considered suspended. Membership revocation decisions by the Board may be appealed at a general membership meeting. The full membership shall have the authority to override the decision by the Board to revoke membership by majority vote. DuesMembership dues are $35 for an individual Practitioner or Affiliate membership and $175 for an Institutional Practitioner membership. The Consortium is committed to the inclusion of any eligible Practitioner Member and will not turn away an eligible member due to an inability to pay the full membership amount. A sliding scale dues structure may be utilized if deemed appropriate by the Executive Board. Become a member! |
