And then there are the ceramic teapots of Evan Jones, whose Gallery 302/Evan Jones Studios opened in Dania Beach in April. Some of Jones' teapots are small enough that you could actually use them, although you probably wouldn't want to. But he specializes in what he calls "colossal teapots," which certainly live up to their name. They were what first struck me when I walked into his gallery, which adjoins a studio that includes working space for Jones and other artists (so far, there's one other resident potter) and classroom space for beginner, intermediate, and advanced students (so far, there are more than two dozen).
Then again, how can you not notice teapots that are, say, four feet high by three feet in diameter? According to Jones' associate Robert Fox, there were no examples of the most colossal of the colossal on display when I visited -- all were either en route to other galleries or had been sold. Fox assured me that more would be in the works when Jones returns from a trip.
So how does one make a 56-inch teapot? Or a teapot with a capacity of 20 gallons? Painstakingly, it turns out. It's not feasible to use a mold for such a monster, so Jones works in segments that can weigh 30 or more pounds each. For the segments to fit together as seamlessly as they do requires detailed preparatory sketches and precise mathematical calculations. The individual segments are thrown to these specifications on the potter's wheel.
As for the handles, beyond a certain point it became impractical to work with clay on such a scale. Jones' solution was to turn to strands of malleable copper tubing, which are hand-twisted into great graceful arcs that suggest bamboo or some other natural fiber. Some of these are eight feet or more in length.
For firing his larger pieces, Jones uses a huge, custom-made gas kiln that resembles some sort of deranged barbecue pit. It's in the studio part of the complex that takes up about two-thirds of the 6,000 square feet and also includes half a dozen electric kilns. The gas kiln has a capacity of 65 cubic feet and can generate temperatures of up to 2,400 degrees. Fox launches into an impressive explanation to distinguish between gas and electric kilns, tossing off terms like "controlled oxidation," "carbon trapping," and "Shino glazes."
Ceramics has a language all its own, I discovered, although when I set out to give myself a crash course in it later, my eyes became as glazed as one of Jones' teapots. I even use the term ceramics with some trepidation. One definition I ran across says the word "has come to signify the slip casting industry that uses talc-ball clay slurries to cast ware for firing at low temperatures." (As distinct from pottery, which refers to... oh, never mind.) The gist of it, as best I can tell, seems to be that it's possible to restrict the oxygen supply in the early stages of firing in a gas kiln, so that carbon (or soot) builds up on the surface of the clay and leaves a residue that's trapped in the glaze.
Never mind, indeed. The details of the process may be fascinating, but the results are of even greater interest. The carbon trapping creates variegated patterns in shades of black and gray in the glazes, and there's infinite variety in their irregularity. Two roughly identical pieces with the same glaze fired side by side will likely yield ceramics with dramatically different patterns. The element of chance in this work probably generates both exhilaration and frustration for the artist, whose calculated control of the process of creation is subject to these many variables. There will inevitably be duds, but there will also be the happy accidents that are so often the stuff of art.
Jones seems to have embraced this unpredictability wholeheartedly, incorporating it into the rigor and discipline of his work. Not to downplay the grandeur of his forms, but his highly varied finishes are his real glory. Along with the glazes, which he mixes himself, he works metallic leaf accents into some of his pieces. The coarse, mottled surfaces of small vases in stoneware and porcelain, for example, might be subtly set off by a band or rim of 22-karat gold. Other embellishments include bas relief and metal bolts and collars.
Vases and other forms are as much in evidence at Gallery 302 as the showier teapots. Jones has a wonderful feel for wide bowls with low depths to embody openness, sometimes with lines deeply etched into their exteriors to contrast with the smooth expanses of their interiors. Platters become palettes for the expressive effects of his glazes. Much if not most of what Jones does cries out to be touched, and so I was relieved to learn that it's OK to run your fingers over the textured surfaces.

Tom Clancy captured Cold War fear in his thrillers
Tom Clancy novels were so real, that after the Cold War thriller "The Hunt for Red October" came out, a military official suspected the author of having access to classified material. Tom Clancy says he didn't. He died Tuesday.
Los Angeles
With CIA analyst Jack Ryan, Tom Clancy created a character that spoke to audiences from both page and screen, representing the changing mood of a country facing growing geopolitical challenges.
"Thrillers, like all art, are always a reflection of the culture," said fellow author Brad Meltzer. "No one captured that Cold War fear — and that uniquely American perspective— like Clancy. Jack Ryan wasn't just a character. He was us. He was every American in those days when we were a push-of-the-button away from nuclear war."
Clancy brought such realism and attention to detail to his novels that in 1985, a year after the Cold War thriller "The Hunt for Red October" came out, a military official suspected the author of having access to classified material.
The best-selling novelist, who died Tuesday in Baltimore at 66, insisted then, and after, that his information was strictly unclassified: books, interviews and papers that were easily obtained. Also, two submarine officers reviewed the final manuscript.
Government officials may have worried how Clancy knew that a Russian submarine spent only about 15 percent of its time at sea or how many Seahawk missiles it carried. But his extreme attention to technical detail and accuracy earned him respect inside the intelligence community and beyond. It also helped make Clancy the most widely read and influential military novelist of his time, one who seemed to capture a shift in the country's mood away from the CIA misdeeds that were exposed in the 1970s to the heroic feats of Jack Ryan.

As a biology teacher I can tell you that one of the biggest challenges that I face during every single semester is dealing with parents on the subject of creationism and evolution.
As a Christian it is very hard for me to deal with these parents sometimes but I think I have more understanding than other biology teachers that are atheists. science does conflict with some parts of the Bible and because of this you are facing an uphill challenge as a biology teacher in dealing with religion and life science that you love.
There a specific courses that a biology teacher can take to help in coping with this modern-day political issue and a separation between the church and state. I just hope that these differences in beliefs will never need to be dropping of biology as a legitimate subject in school. The years and years that have been spent spent by countless researchers would be lost to an ideology that is written about in old text.

I agree, there are a lot of 'fair weather' Braves fans ... way too many if you ask me. But there are some realistic Braves fans as well that aren't panicking and ready to fire everyone during a slump.
Wizards showed the Hawks how to close out a victory over the Pacers.
There are more Braves "fair weather" fans than in any other major league city in the country.
The Braves lost nine straight in 2010 and still made the postseason. They will be fine in the long run. Especially since Washington can't beat the Braves.
We just can't win for losing. Try to shake up the lineup and still can't get over the hump.
So what do we think will happen with Jim Donnan? Do we care?
If Dan Uggla had one ounce of integrity, he'd quit the game.

Dec 10th 2008 11:11AM Meh, I agree that Blizzard could use some diplomacy. Yes, yes, they are a team of designers and shoved all their points in intelligence and wisdom, but think about other corporations who realized that there is SOME benefit with charisma.
(Alright, ending that nerdy tid bit there...)
My point is, all corporations have a PR representative. So if Blizzard is going to make announcements over forums and they DON'T want so many people crying foul, then they need to have someone there that can make the announcements artfully. It isn't that hard- there are PLENTY of PR people looking for work and hiring one person to make announcements is fast, easy and simple. It doesn't mean that GC can't make announcements or that he does a bad job - but he said it himself- he's a game designer, not a PR. He still can answer questions and all that jazz, while the PR person announces big changes and smoothes things over. Is it going to stop all the flamers and trolls? Heck no, but it can't HURT and it'll lessen the angry mob blows at least a little.

Jill Whelan (born September 29, 1966) is an American actress.
Whelan was born in Oakland, California. After attending summer acting camp at age 7, Whelan landed a series of commercials. At age 11, she was cast in the short-lived TV series Friends (a little-known, but critically acclaimed[citation needed], 1979 series). Later that year, Whelan played the role of Lisa Davis, the sick girl, in Airplane! She is probably best known for her role in the hit television series The Love Boat. In the series she played Vicki Stubing, the daughter of Capt. Stubing (played by Gavin MacLeod). After the show was canceled in 1986, she worked on an album titled Our Time.
During the early 1980s, Whelan served as a national spokesperson for First Lady Nancy Reagan's Just Say No anti-drug campaign.
Whelan graduated from the The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California and continued on to college in England at Guildford College.
After returning to the United States, Whelan moved to New York City and acted in several Off-Broadway productions before leaving the stage to work as an event producer at Madison Square Garden. It was here that she met her second husband, whom she would marry over a decade later.
Shortly after leaving Madison Square Garden, Whelan met her first husband, Brad St. John, and was married, becoming pregnant soon thereafter. Moving back to her native California in preparation for the birth of her first son, Harrison, Whelan soon accepted another acting role on the long-running TV soap opera The Young and the Restless. She then left acting and started working as an investigative producer at the Los Angeles KCOP television station, where she remained for 4 years before moving back to the East Coast to get married again.
She married Michael Chaykowsky in April 2004 aboard the cruise ship Caribbean Princess. It was her second marriage. Her second son, Grant, was born on July 1, 2006.
She lives in Yardley, Pennsylvania[1] and hosts a Sunday afternoon radio show on WPHT 1210AM in Philadelphia. The show airs Sunday from 3 pm-4 pm EST. Additionally, Jill teaches acting to children and teens.
On Friday September 10, 2008 Whelan appeared with several other cast members from the movie Airplane! in a reunion segment on NBC's the Today Show.
In October 2008, Whelan made her New York City cabaret debut with her one-woman show, Jill Whelan: An Evening In Dry Dock at The Metropolitan Room.
From September to November 2011, Whelan appeared in the British farce Move Over Mrs. Markham at Stage West Theatre Restaurant in the Toronto, Ontario area.
Whelan was set to replace Mark Thompson, who retired on August 17, 2012, after 25 years co-hosting The Mark & Brian Show on KLOS in Los Angeles, but during Thompson's final broadcast, co-host Brian Phelps announced that he, too, was quitting KLOS. Phelps and Whelan will instead be co-hosting a comedy podcast at www.brianandjillshow.com. The podcast is expected to launch in September 2012.

Florence Colgate, an 18-year-old student is blessed with what is described as the perfect face. It matches an international blueprint for the optimum ratio between eyes, mouth, forehead and chin, endowing her with flawless proportions.
A woman's face is said to be most attractive when the space between her pupils is just under half the width of her face from ear to ear. Florence scores a 44 per cent ratio. Experts also believe the relative distance between eyes and mouth should be just over a third of the measurement from hairline to chin. Florence's ratio is 32.8 per cent.

Hearing & Balance
Hearing and Balance (Audiology)
The ability to hear well allows us to communicate effectively with others and is something often taken for granted. When problems develop, it is important to have a qualified health professional check your hearing to determine the best treatment possible.
If you suspect you have hearing loss, the first step is to undergo a thorough hearing evaluation with a licensed audiologist and a medical examination with a physician who specializes in hearing disorders. Both of these examinations can be done at the ENT and Allergy Center of Missouri or the University Physicians Audiology Clinic.
To schedule a hearing evaluation at one of our locations, please call:

I believe in France it is a dermatologist, in the US and Germany it would probably be an urologist, but in most countries I don't think it is in the "yellow pages". Also, which test a man should do after a sexual relationship and be- fore engaging into a new one? This also differs from one country to the next. Is it standard to search infectious agents in sperm in all countries? Should the patient or the doctor propose such test? Would a test using urine perform just as well?

BANGKOK - Thailand's military apologized Tuesday, January 31, for the killing of four Muslims in the country's troubled south after an outpouring of anger from rights groups and Muslims.
"If our officers were in fact guilty, they will have to face up to these charges and apologize," Deputy Prime Minister Yuthasak Sasiprapha, a retired army general, said, Reuters reported.
He added that compensation and justice would be given to the families of the victims.
Four Muslims were gunned down Sunday by army rangers in the southern island of Pattani on suspicion of being separatists.
An army spokesman said on Monday the four men, who were in the back of a pickup truck in which a rifle was found, were killed after gunmen opened fire on troops who attempted to approach the vehicle to carry out an inspection.
The rangers returned fire, killing four and wounding three others, but the gunmen fled on a motorcycle, the spokesman said.
But the killings prompted an outpouring of anger from Muslims and human rights groups.
To ease the Muslim anger, army commander-in-chief Prayuth Chan-ocha apologized to the families of the victims.
Thai Muslims, who make up five percent of the predominantly Buddhist kingdom's population, have long complained of discrimination under the heavy-handed practices by the military.
They have also called for Malay to become an official language and to replace the Buddhist-centric school curriculum with one less hostile to Muslim sensitivities.
More than 4,000 people have been killed in south Thailand since violence erupted almost eight years ago.
Previous Thai governments have tried "hearts and minds" campaigns to tackle the unrest, but nothing has worked.
The International Crisis Group had recently urged the military-installed government to start preparing the Buddhist majority to accept a negotiated autonomy for the Muslim-majority south.
Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat are the only Muslim-majority provinces in Thailand and were an independent Muslim sultanate until annexed officially a century ago.

Contact: Peter Deegan
Michael Goodale, age 30, from Mason City, Iowa, has been charged with two counts of aggravated sexual abuse, two counts of interstate transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and one count of accessing child pornography. The charges are contained in an Indictment filed on March 7, 2012, in United States District Court in Cedar Rapids.
The Indictment alleges that, between 2008 and 2010, Goodale knowingly crossed a state line with the intent to engage in sexual acts with two minors who were under age 12. The Indictment also alleges that, between 2008 and 2011, Goodale knowingly transported the two minors across a state line with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. In addition, the Indictment alleges that, in 2011, Goodale knowingly accessed with intent to view visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
If convicted on all charges, Goodale faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 years' imprisonment and a possible maximum sentence of life in prison, $1,250,000 in fines, $500 in special assessments, and at least 5 years and up to life on supervised release following any imprisonment.
Goodale appeared today in federal court in Cedar Rapids and was held without bond. Goodale's next appearance for a detention hearing is set for March 13, 2012.
As with any criminal case, a charge is merely an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Mark Tremmel and was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Mason City Police Department.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.
Court file information is available at https://ecf.iand.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/login.pl. The case file number is CR 12-3011.

Atlanta Hawks hold off Orlando Magic 104-94
Posted By Mary Stevens On November 9, 2013 @ 11:55 PM In 1080 Sports,Florida News,Insider - Magic,Insider Main,main feature,NBA | No Comments
[1]The Orlando Magic (3-4) lost their second straight game 104-94 to the Atlanta Hawks (3-3) Saturday night at the Philips Arena.
Despite having a 17 point deficit in the third quarter the Magic fought back and regained the lead in the fourth quarter. The Hawks went to a 10-0 run at the end of the game to seal the deal.
Hawks' Jeff Teague scored a team high of 19 points and 13 assists while teammate Paul Millsap added 18 points and 11 rebounds.
One of the problems the Magic have had in the last couple of games is turning over the ball. They ended up turning the ball over 18 times and the Hawks made sure to take advantage of those mistakes.
So far this season, the Magic's defense has held its opponents to under 40 percent shooting. This was not the case against the Hawks as they shot at 48 percent from the field. The Magic also struggled on rebounds as they only pulled down 36 boards. This is a low number as they were averaging 49.7 rebounds per game this season.
Arron Afflalo led the Magic with 21 points, seven assists and two steals. Jameer Nelson and Andrew Nicholson each contributed 13 points. Nikola Vucevic who usually records a double-double, ended the game with seven points and six rebounds. Rookie Victor Oladipo finished the night with five points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block.
Following the game against the Hawks the Magic traveled to Boston and have the day off on Sunday. They will take on the Celtics on Monday night at 7:30 p.m. ET.

- May be Available in up to 10 colors including Safety Yellow, Signal Orange (as seen above),Left to right: Black Night, Steel, Urban Camo, Reggae Camo, Navy Camo, Desert Camo, Jungle Camo, Pink Camo and Leopard.
We are also investigating several mounting opportunities...here is one that we think will be great for those with MOLLE equipment. There will also be a neck lanyard, wrist strap and a bike mount accessory for the AQUA TEK. The image below is a preliminary design.
Yes there will be an integrated locking scheme that will prevent inadvertent opening while submerged.
Right now we are investigating the battery capacity, we want to make sure that we are providing the right amount of power for this form factor to deliver the best performance.
Yes, Andreas & I are discussing how we can provide exceptional rewards for those that would like to support us but cannot get to Park City. We will have more on that soon.
The Thumb screw to reach the sealed micro USB connector to charge the AQUA TEK S & iPhone 4/4S is opened with a coin such as a dime or nickel. You will also be able to use a common screwdriver flat head or pen knife.
The accessible ports/features are: Touch screen, Home button, volume up/down
Inaccessible are: Ring/silent toggle, On/off button, Front facing Camera.
All other features are available while in the case. You will be able to talk, text, browse the web and take pictures/videos of your adventure all while staying powered and protected.
The Snow Lizard team recommends to use blue-tooth headphones for use while in the AQUA TEK S case. We wanted to minimize the water entry points without eliminating too many features. The Audio Port is a challenge because we cannot control what Audio Jack goes into the AQUA TEK S case, which may create a catastrophic leak.
Sorry Kickstarter will not let us change the pledge, the shipping is the same as the other pledges. (Shipping to Canada add $25, International add $50 to pledge amount)
Snow Lizard Products currently ships several other products you may find useful for your iPhone 4 & 4S. You can view them on our website: http://www.snowlizardproducts.com and they are available through our site or at our retailers, http://Amazon.com, http://tigerdirect.com, and more coming.
The video shows our 2nd prototype which is near functional and provides us and the engineering team a proof of concept. The next version that we will have will be a fully functional demonstration model and it will be shown in the water. Rest assured, Andreas & the engineering team have developed many rugged products over the years and this one will not disappoint!
Yes, we had earlier issues with the prototype and have modified the design for productions. We noted that the flash will overwhelm the camera if the case lens is not flush to the iPhone 4/4S. Rest assured we have mitigated this issue.
Kickstarter will refund your money. We don't receive the money pledged until 15 days after the last day and we reach our goal.

If you get some sort of immigration attorneys for them first, then lying shouldn't be some of an issue.
Phillius | http://juanlaw.com/immigration-lawyers
It's the bottom of the ninth, and as usual, the Marlins are about to lose. Atlanta closer Craig Kimbrel zips a fastball past a befuddled Miami hitter, notching another strike on the way to a 3-0 Braves shutout.
Just outside the center-field bathrooms, Steve Corbin clutches a Jose Reyes bobblehead to his chest, squints at the field, and shakes his head in disgust. The bald fan in a Marlins T-shirt has rooted for the Fish since the team opened up shop in Miami Gardens in 1993. This year, he's had time to see a dozen games at the team's gleaming new Little Havana stadium.
"The ballpark is great," Corbin says. Then he sighs heavily. "I just wish they hadn't completely screwed over taxpayers to build this thing."
Before the park opened, our sister paper Miami New Times counted down the six biggest lies the team's owners told to sell what we predicted would be the "worst deal for taxpayers of any stadium in America." Those falsehoods included absurd promises that the stadium would revitalize Little Havana, bogus pledges that fans would flock to games, and laughable claims that the Marlins would go bankrupt without the deal.
Now, as the team's first season on NW Sixth Street draws to a close this week, it's time to look back and confidently declare: This stadium has been a fiasco for the ages.
From dismal attendance to terrible baseball to none of the promised business impact on its struggling neighborhood, Marlins Park has tanked worse than chubby closer Heath Bell huffing and puffing through another blown save.
"The stadium has done nothing for the City of Miami," Little Havana activist Yvonne Bayona says. "Their promises were lies. This deal wasn't to benefit us; it was to benefit the team's owners."
Let's walk through the numbers that prove Marlins Park is South Florida's scam of the century:
Zero: Stadium revenue the Miami Marlins shared with Miami-Dade taxpayers — you know, the chumps who chipped in more than 70 percent of the $515 million cost to build the damned thing. Instead of revenue-sharing, Miami-Dade County has gotten a measly $2.3 million in rent, plus $40,000 toward building some new youth fields. The city — which floated $100 million in bonds — gets a whopping $10 per parking space at the team's garages plus $25,000 toward new parks.
One: Sellouts the team managed all year in its palacio de béisbol. The lone full house came opening night with the reigning World Series champs, the St. Louis Cardinals, in town. Jets boomed overhead, and former boxer Muhammad Ali shakily threw out the first pitch.
12: Of 16 National League teams, that's where the Marlins ranked in attendance. Team owner Jeffrey Loria promised that a retractable roof, air conditioning, and a home-run sculpture fit for a Timothy Leary class at Harvard would lure spectators in droves, yet the Fish are outdrawing only perennial dogs Pittsburgh, Arizona, and San Diego and the 100-plus-loss, historically bad Houston Astros.
One: New businesses that activists say have opened around the park. Politicos, such as then-Miami Commissioner Joe Sanchez, promised time and again the stadium would bring "economic vitality" to a desolate edge of Little Havana that was left to rot after the Orange Bowl's demolition. Instead, the neighborhood has been treated to a single sports bar at NW 17th Avenue and Seventh Street, the Batting Cage, says Bayona. "It's still a ghost town when there's no game."
500,000: That's how many fewer fans flooded Little Havana to watch Loria's team this year than the Marlins owner had projected to deliver in the stadium's inaugural season. "Essentially, they spent $500 million and only lured a few hundred thousand extra fans," says Neil deMause, author of Field of Schemes, a book about modern stadium deals. "They could have just stood outside and handed out five-dollar bills to get people in the gates and accomplished about the same thing for a hell of a lot less cash."
Zero: Businesses that set up shop in the retail spaces inside Marlins Park's garages during the season. One selling point to the city in exchange for $100 million was that an "entertainment district" would pop up in the garages. So far, the city has zilch to show for that promise. Commissioner Frank Carollo claims the city is close to signing a lease with the Tilted Kilt, a sports bar staffed by scantily clad women. Art Noriega, chief executive officer of the Miami Parking Authority, tells New Times that a cigar company has signed a contract to open by next season. But Horacio Stuart Aguirre, chairman of the Miami River Commission, thinks other types of tenants — urgent care clinics and immigration attorneys — are more likely to lease at this point. "The whole thing was done badly," he told the Miami Herald last month.
2.2 million: Fans who passed through the turnstiles this year, the lowest season total for a team opening a new park since the 1982 Minnesota Twins, according to Forbes. Yeah, it's a nice boost from the bottom-of-the-barrel 1.5 million the team drew in its final year at Sun Life Stadium. But bragging about beating that total would be like taking pride in posting a better batting average than John Buck.
If you get some sort of immigration attorneys for them first, then lying shouldn't be some of an issue.

loria did not INVENT how to screw municipalities, he just followed the script - if it wasn't loria it would have been some other marlins owner - so that issue is a scarecrow
if the people of hialeah are unhappy with the results they have to live with they should simply vote OUT their representatives - period
otherwise everyone else knew that the small increment in through-the-turnstile attendance would come at a premium because the real reason for a roof to avoid weather delays is so TV can show the END of the game within the designated time slot paid for by advertisers
as for cataclysmic money being spent to revive communities, jane jacobs wrote all about that back in 1969, and why the past fifty years of development in the north end of boston isn't required study for municipal planners, i just don't know
it was a good effort to set up dumb comments about castro to incite media interest in a geo-political environment with a short fuse, and market and promote the buzz of the britto, and other attractions, including the roof, BUT the main event should be baseball - no ?
i personally think the area should have opted for more bi-lingual second grade teachers than second base baseball tallent but i guess that can be said by all the stakeholders of miami-dade schools
Awesome article which really doesn't expose anything new about Loria to me. I already knew he was a cheapskate owner all about his own profit.
Every one of these stadium projects are nothing more than a boondoggle. The same thing happened in my former home town of St Louis when the Rams came to town and wanted a new stadium and again when the Cardinals wanted one as well. I was just there a couple of weeks ago and the areas around both are nothing but a sea of closed business although both end up having far better attendance.
The only ones who benefit from these stadiums are the rich people who wanted them in the first place. They get exactly what they want and never have to pay for it.
Just say no to these projects until they start footing the bill and pay attention to the fine print. They are worse than used car salesmen.
The wonderfully written scathing attack fails to point out that the majority of the funds are coming from tourism taxes added to local hotel beds and not directly from Miamian's paychecks. If Miami citizens are sleeping at the Marriott then they are directly contributing yes, but I would say if the major point of the piece is about how "we are" subsidizing millionaire fat-cats, such as Loria, then Elfrink should at least get the facts out there for the readers to consider.
Those funds, which are set aside to pay for convention business related costs, improvements and projects, were designed for making the city a more attractive destination to attract convention visitors (who also take taxis, sleep, dine, drink and generally spend money in Miami and fuel the economic engine of the area). The idea of taxing visitors and getting a ballpark for the locals should have been the slogan all along. I think the name of the park should be "Thanks New York". Cleary, the locals benefit from the ballpark more than visitors. Still, I submit, funding a ballpark with any tax derived dollars that directly benefit millionaire owners with millionaire players never tastes good.
The "build it and they will come" strategy was not a guessing game in fickle Miami, but rather a brilliant business deal struck by the owners. Was anyone surprised by this?
So what is the answer now Elfrink? Do you want a refund? Will the tar and feathers routine shame Loria into changing his spots? Hardly. The most direct way the citizenry can pad the wallets of the owners is to actually go to a game. I suggest you all go to a few games to at least get a feel for what you have not paid for directly but can actually enjoy. If you don't go, and you won't because there is always something else to do in Miami, and even championship teams suffer here, then other baseball teams must share their pie with "revenue sharing". Loria wins either way.
well according to your logic, and not to be argumentative as this is just an observation, the area around YANKEE STADIUM should then be a vibrant safe self-sustaining hub of major economic activity - no ?
my last visit on a non-game day revealed a yet to be started promised playground, a prison and juvenile delinquent facility, a state courthouse and row upon row of delapidated housing on dirty streets with commercial establishments seeming to barely be holding on and while grans concourse is touting a revival for some time now that spark will be based on residential units with a proximity to midtown and downtown NYC itself
it would seem that the game attendees glide into and out of the ballpark in secured vehicles to the nearest escape on the closest parkway without even thinking about getting out of their cars in that neighborhood - now what makes that any different than hialeah ?
well when it comes to results ON the field i can say the YANKEEs have a distinct advantage of history over the MARLINs even at the current rate of extrapolation
on the other hand the "source" of tax revenue is NOT the issue and that marriott guest could care less if the room tax goes to a ballpark or a classroom - its the PEOPLE of miami that that should matter MOST to - the PEOPLE who live and work and play here
i think that is why the stadium, from a financial aspect, is much much more harm than good as required funds should have gone to quality of life matters such as schools and jobs training and econompic opportunity and security for miami-dade people - not a retractable roof to benefit a few
@McTrouble its not like the tourist money couldn't have been spent on something better. like a tunnel to port of miami cruise ships. -oh wait.

Le Sirenuse, Positano
Editor's Pick
Italy 84017
Tel: 39 089 875 066
Concierge.com's insider take:
After 50 years of being cherished and polished by its owners, the Marchese Sersale family (now into its second generation, with patriarch Franco's son Antonio and his wife, Carla, at the helm), "The Sirens" still has a glamour and poise few hotels in the world can match. Part of the attraction is the 18th-century palazzo itself: Located halfway up this near-vertical village (hence the magnificent views down the coast), it's stuffed with the Sersale family's own collection of antiques. Then there's the service—Le Sirenuse has 63 rooms and twice as many staff. All of this conspires to maintain the illusion that one is a privileged houseguest—though it is, of course, a privilege you pay for. The Gae Aulenti–designed Aveda spa (Aulenti renovated Paris's Musée d'Orsay), the Champagne bar with its views down to the sea over the rooftops of the town, and the family's vintage Riva speedboat that you can rent for a spin around the coast only add to the grandeur. One important point: If you're shelling out for a room here, go all the way and accept nothing less than a deluxe or above, and preferably on a high floor. If you don't have a balcony with that incredible sweep over the bay, you'll cry.

Directions Travel out on the N1 and take exit 47, sign-posted as the R44 to Stellenbosch, Klapmuts and Wellington. On leaving the N1, turn left and follow the R44 for 20km until you reach a four-way stop. Proceed across the four-way stop and 2km later turn left at the road marked Distillery Street/ Wellington/ Porterville/ Ceres (still on the R44). Travel for approximately 26km until you reach the turn-off on the left to Hermon/Riebeek Kasteel. DO NOT TAKE THIS ONE but be on the lookout as our turn-off is 1KM LATER on the right, sign-posted BO HERMON. Follow the gravel road for about 2km until it curves to the left and then sharply to the right (at this point there will be farm workers' houses on your left and large sheds on your right). As you come out of the second bend you will see two white concave walls on your left. Turn down between the two walls and follow the road that heads towards the mountain until it reaches a cement drift, which you cross over. You then take the right-hand fork and follow the road for about 3.5km until you reach the farmyard. As you arrive (PLEASE BEWARE OF SPEED HUMPS) you will see on your left some small buildings under the trees, and then you will pass Wild Olive House and a private home. The road then splits and you take the left-hand fork, towards the white-washed wall with the Bartholomeus Klip sign on it. Follow the road up through the gardens under the oaks, and around to the parking area at the back of the house.
Heading off on the nature drives, you are never quite certian what you will see. Our guests were in for a treat yesterday with Daniel spotting a very large female Geometric Tortoise in the Road. A huge thanks to Mr Gamble for the lovley pictures.These critically endangered tortoises are solitary and are confined to a small corner of the Western Cape in lowland fynbos. Their lifespan is estimated to be around 20-35 years.Elandsberg Private Nature Reserve has the largest known population of the Geometric Tortoises.
On a recent trip home we spotted a den with two baby Cape Foxes playing in the road.The Cape Fox has always been known as a shy creature and seeing them so close was a real treat.They are nocturnal and omnivorous and are often mis-identified as Jackal. They are not a threatened species but are a rare sighting.
With the rooms full and and our guests enjoying the drives into the Reserve, the rangers have had some great sightings of the small wildlife that frequent the veld.
Rondeheuwel Primary School, our local school for children from the farms in the area, is in need of help to try to provide the children with opportunities for enrichment, as well as the best education possible. Most of the ladies working at Bartholomeus Klip have children who attend the school, and they are always working at fundraising to help the local community's children who are less fortunate than their own. The limited government resources available make their task more of a challenge.
Since the opening of Bartholomeus Klip in 1997, we have always tried to help the workers & their families living here in whatever way we can. Social responsibility has always been important to us, & by becoming Fair Trade accredited, we have confirmed our values & commitment to our community.
We invite you to share our vision for the children & donate any spare coins you may have rattling around in your purse. The money will be used to fund a very important project: the hiring of a school bus, which we plan to use to take the children on educational excursions & sports days to schools in other areas. We hope this will expand their horizons as well as give them the chance to meet and interact with children at other schools.
The coins will also be used to help with the feeding scheme set up by the school, which provides all pupils with a cooked meal. For many of the children, it is the only meal they get for the day.
The Ikusasa School of Cooking www.ikusasa.co.za began as a small project of St. Martin's Diocesan Home for Children who wanted to create a program that would help school going youth within children's Homes to acquire skills in catering and hospitality. It was joined by two employees of the Three Cities Hotel Group who expanded on the original vision and spread the word amongst the Durban Food and catering Industry.
The project attracted the attention of the Chaine Des Rotisseurs, a French Food and Wine Society who were on the lookout for a worthy project to support in the field of hospitality and catering.
With the backing of Chaine Des Rotisseurs and its newly formed Chaine Foundation Trust, more interest was sparked! The International Hotel School were the next on board to get behind the project, bringing serious recognition, putting Ikusasa on an entirely new level.
From its humble beginnings, Ikusasa has grown into a project that offers its graduates Internationally recognized qualifications and opportunities. The Ikusasa School in Riebeek West was opened in 2013 with great success. The students were picked from the Riebeek West Special School and surrounding community after completing an application to attend. The enrolled students fulfil their practical training at the school and at some of the local restaurants and hotels in the immediate area. We had a total of 4 students over the last year, who joined the BK team three days a week and we are so glad to be part of such an initiative where young adults are given opportunities to further themselves and develop a passion for cooking from our chefs who mentored them.
The Cape Winelands around Bartholomeus Klip, including Riebeek Valley, Wellington and Tulbagh - are buzzing with activity, throughout the year. Harvest festivals, art exhibitions, concerts, magnificent wine estates and excellent restaurants are very popular with the locals, so why not immerse yourself in some local folklore and have your finger right on the pulse of what's happening in our communities.Here are some of the events taking place at the farmhouse for the next few months View events calendar

I don't know about any install scripts for that, but I know there were a lot of discussions about those "minimal installations". In FAQ http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-support/2001/10/0072.html is mentioned for example. The best thing I could suggest is to search the archives at http://search.linuxfromscratch.org/. Sorry, I can't help you much.
