Talking Heads: What's going on with Lewis?
Struggling to understand the ongoing Lewis Hamilton furore? Wondering why he might be leaving McLaren for Mercedes? Here's what the Sky Sports F1pundits had to say at Monza on the saga of the summer...
Last Updated: 14/09/12 10:45am
So as this furore was sparked by a report that a deal between Hamilton and Mercedes was 'imminent', let's start with that claim. Is it true? Has Hamilton signed to drive for Mercedes in 2013?
Martin Brundle: "He hasn't signed for Mercedes, that's misinformation."
So just what is going on?
Martin Brundle: "It's a bit of a muddle..."
David Croft: "Only a handful of people know the truth and the truth, as they say, is out there, but nobody is going on to the record to say 'this is definitely happening'."
Hmm. Let's rephrase the question - what do we think is happening?
Ted Kravitz: "Well, Lewis hasn't denied he is talking to Mercedes - that is real - and he's probably talking to Lotus as well."
David Croft: "Ross Brawn knows Lewis well, is a huge admirer and Hamilton is a driver Mercedes would be courting if there was a chance of capturing him - and I think there is."
McLaren have consistently proved themselves to be a winning package whereas Mercedes have won just one grand prix in three years. Why would he think about leaving McLaren to go there? It can't just be about money, can it?
Johnny Herbert: "He's got enough money anyway. It's having the opportunity for yourself for a World Championship. He's not doing it for money. But it's not just Lewis; his management are possibly thinking about it in a different way..."
Martin Brundle: "McLaren are testing him by asking: 'where are your priorities? Is it to stay with us and make this a championship-winning team or have you got other ideas that appeal to you more?' - be it money or freedom to cut some other deals or be in America more? They are testing him out."
So it is conceivable that Lewis could join Mercedes?
Johnny Herbert: "The twist to it is what happens in 2014, because that's when new engine regulations come in. Mercedes will be working very hard on their engine and that's where, technically, Mercedes are very good. McLaren has a Mercedes in at the moment and they're doing the best of the Mercedes-powered cars."
Ted Kravitz: "If he feels he will be happier with a change then he will go to Mercedes. He has been with McLaren all of his Formula 1 career, maybe a change is a good thing for him."
We're depicting the situation as a straight choice between McLaren and Mercedes. Are Ferrari and Red Bull definitely out of the equation?
Johnny Herbert: "As a driver, you'd be looking at Red Bull but there's nowhere for him to fit there. There's Ferrari, possibly with Felipe moving on, but I don't see Fernando Alonso wanting Lewis back. And Lewis wouldn't want to go there unless it's with equal number one status - but I presume that's a done deal with Fernando, so that's not going to happen."
For argument's sake, let's say that Hamilton has decided to join Mercedes. Would that mean the end of Michael Schumacher's F1 career?
David Croft: "The likelihood is that Michael would step down but there might be an opening at Ferrari for him because there is still a big question mark against Felipe Massa's career there. Michael would be a good short-term solution - he might not necessarily challenge Fernando Alonso but he would push him. Michael's not had the greatest season but it's not all been his fault and I think there might be enough of the old magic left to tempt Ferrari."
Martin Whitmarsh admitted at Monza that the team don't have a 'Plan B' in the event of Hamilton departing. But if he did quit the team who might they go for?
Johnny Herbert "There's a lot of young drivers around, Paul di Resta would be one, but I would think: 'why not get Kimi Raikkonen back?"
Ted Kravitz: "McLaren have to tread quite a fine line because on the face of it there isn't really anyone else apart from Lewis Hamilton who can win multiple grands prix and World Championships out there who the team can just pop into their driver line-up alongside Jenson Button. That's McLaren's problem. They have to keep Lewis Hamilton because he's shown them that he's their best chance of winning a championship.
"The question is who else knows how to win a World Championship? I'm not sure that Paul di Resta or Nico Hulkenberg do yet, although I'm sure they will during their career, but Kimi Raikkonen certainly knows how to win a World Championship."
Paddock gossip in Monza reckoned that Valtteri Bottas would be in the frame. Could he be?
Johnny Herbert: "He hasn't raced yet! He hasn't been on track in a pressure situation so, personally, I don't think he has enough experience for McLaren yet. McLaren are trying to win World Championships, they are not in the business of bringing on anyone willy-nilly."
And finally, how will this saga end?
Ted Kravitz: "The most likely outcome is that he'll end up staying."
Johnny Herbert: "I think he's staying at McLaren."
Martin Brundle: "I suspect he'll end up re-signing."

Comments Thread For: Arellano on Escobedo-Broner, Periban, Ortiz New Trainer
Rolando Arellano is in the middle of an eventful two weeks. Last Saturday in Humble, Tex., unbeaten super middleweight prospect Marco Antonio Periban (18-0, 12 KOs) stopped Lester Gonzalez (12-7-4, 6 KOs) in the eighth round.
This Saturday, Vicente Escobedo (26-3, 15 KOs) challenges Adrien Broner (23-0, 19 KOs) for the WBO junior lightweight title in Cincinnati, while Pablo Cesar Cano (24-1-1, 19 KOs) meets Johan Perez (15-0-1, 12 KOs) in Cancun for the WBA interim junior welterweight belt.

Periban is EASILY one of the top 5 pound for pound worst unbeaten boxers I have ever seen. It has been years since I have seen a unbeaten fighter who looks like a bad amateur with the sloppiest punches. Somewhere there is a 10-2 fighter who would beat him from pillar to post.

When we think of our freedoms and how they are basic to our society yet freedoms seem to be out of control in so many ways since the 1960s, we probably need to pull back and consider those freedoms from a new perspective. So let's consider playing the piano. I am free to play the piano in that pianos are available, piano teachers are available, and there is no regulation or social stigma that prevents me from acquiring or learning the piano.
I have liberty when it comes to pianos. However, I am not currently free to play the piano well nor can I demonstrate any such ability nor can I know the joys of learning, memorizing, and playing a piece such as I heard at a Second Sunday concert this month. I have two liberties here: the freedom to acquire a piano and the freedom to do the hard work of learning to play it well. I must not confuse the two liberties.
As for American freedoms I must not think that because I have the liberty to get a job I should be paid as if I were already trained and experienced or just because I have endless freedoms in moral areas that I can choose any path and still have satisfying relationships at home, with friends, or at work.
By the way: almost 80% of 493,000 pianos made in 2012 were low-end Chinese ones. Chopin and Debussy's pianos were made by Pleyel a French company that is going out of business this month.

Tomorrow I'll be offering up a more extensive commentary on the second movie of the Hunger Games trilogy, "Catching Fire." Until then, you can read Dylan Pahman's engagement on the theme of tyranny, as well as that of Alissa Wilkinson over at CT. I'll be critiquing Wilkinson's perspective in my own review tomorrow. I think her analysis starts off strong, but she ends up getting distracted by, well, the distractions. But I commend her piece to your review, and in the meantime I'll also offer a couple of notes on the film.
The film version doesn't depart much from the source material, which is always a good thing when you have a strong source material. There is some streamlining of the plot and things are condensed a bit, but this is no doubt necessary to fit everything of relevance in to a 2.5 hour film.
One of the nice things that they do in the films is to show things that happen "off stage," so to speak, in the books, which are presented from Katniss' perspective. In this way, we can find out some things that Katniss doesn't know, and some more texture is added to the narrative. In "Catching Fire," the theme of hope flares up again, as it did in the first Hunger Games.
In an exchange between President Snow and Plutarch Heavensbee, the Head Gamemaker argues for more explicit brutality contrasted with puff-piece entertainment to bring the rabble in the districts in line. Snow expresses doubt, noting that "fear" only works to oppress "when there is no hope." As long as Katniss is alive, the people have hope. Heavensbee persuades Snow, and in doing so deceives him, hoping to further foment revolt with such tactics.
But as I've also observed with before, the hope offered in the Hunger Games really is just a temporal hope. The bread that people seek really is literal bread. There is little in the way of spiritual nourishment offered to anyone in the films, despite the sometimes heavy-handed religious imagery. "Bread first, then ethics" remains the motto of life in Panem.
Oh, and Heavensbee also drops a plug for my book when, in the midst of the Quarter Quell, he exhorts Katniss to "get her hands dirty" a bit.
Today at Ethika Politika, Elyse Buffenbarger weighs in on violence and voyeurism in The Hunger Games:
Flipping between reality television and footage of the war in Iraq, Susan Collins was inspired to pen The Hunger Games. The dystopian young adult trilogy has been a runaway success both of page and screen: book sales number in the tens of millions, and in 2012, the first film took in nearly $700 million worldwide. (The next film, Catching Fire, releases tomorrow.)
Initially, I resisted the books for fear they were too violent — but then, at the urging of friends, family, and coworkers (all of whom I believed to have respectable taste), I devoured them in a weekend, and my husband did the same. The Hunger Games are literary alchemy, a breathless amalgam of all the tropes I loved as a child: romance, survival, and the poster child for strong female protagonists, Katniss Everdeen. When the first film came out, my husband and I rushed to the multiplex.
Collins' trilogy provides, at turns, masterful commentary on class disparity and violent voyeurism: Katniss and her companions excoriate the citizens of the Capitol for their decadence and rabid consumption of the Games. (Their disdain was contagious: for weeks after reading the books, I found myself asking, "Would someone from the Capitol do this?" before doing or saying anything.)
But while watching the films, my husband and I felt uneasy. This discomfort ran deeper than the typical distaste any reader feels when watching a beloved book adapted for the screen. Watching children slaughter each other was very different than reading about it.
Her concerns immediately reminded me of St. Augustine's critique of cathartic entertainment in his Confessions: (more…)
In his 2010 book, Hipster Christianity, Brett McCracken explored the dynamics of a particular cultural movement in (and against) modern evangelicalism. In his new book, Gray Matters: Navigating the Space Between Legalism and Liberty, he pulls the lens back, focusing on how the church more broadly ought to approach culture, particularly when it comes to consuming it.
Though McCracken's book focuses on just four areas — food, drink, music, and film — his basic framework and the surrounding discussion offers much for Christians to ponder and absorb when it comes to cultural engagement at large.
In an interview with On Call in Culture, McCracken was kind enough to answer some questions on the topic.
Early on, you explain that your book is not about "making culture," but about "consuming culture well." Yet you also note how consumption and creation can intersect and overlap. How does our approach to consumption impact our creative output?
In order to be a good creator of culture, one must be a good consumer of it. We will never make great films if we don't love the greatest films, know the greatest films, and understand why they are great. The best chefs are the ones who love food the most and take the time to consume it well — to pay attention to flavor profiles, to savor tastes that go well together, to understand what cooking methods work and don't work, etc. The great artists in history didn't just make their masterpieces from some innate mastery of technique. They studied the masters first and did the work of understanding why one painting or symphony was a masterpiece and why another one wasn't. They were good consumers before they were good creators. (more…)
Over at Think Christian, I take another look at Ender's Game, focusing on the leitmotif of understanding and communication in Orson Scott Card's work. This applies particularly to inter-species communication.
We might, in fact, riffing off the Norwegian parody pop song, say that the central question of Ender's Game is, "What does the Formic say?" Ender is the only one with the genuine curiosity to find out, and doing so is how he moves beyond his bloody calling.
What we find out, in a sense, is that on the Formic understanding, each human being has the dignity and worth of a queen. We are all queens, or as the Bible puts it, made in the image and likeness of God. This reality becomes all the more salient when like the Formic queen, "dynamite with a laser beam," we too are killer queens, to make another pop culture connection (HT: Dylan Pahman).
A key difference between the film and the book is that the film is pretty thin on answers to that question of inter-species communication. There is much more about what the Formics think and feel in the book. I'll post some of the relevant sections, which include significant spoilers, below the break. If you have not seen the film, you should not read these sections!
But for those of you who have seen the film, just think about that question of understanding the Formics as you revel in "The Fox (What Does it Say?)"
When I talk about my time growing up in Los Angeles with my mother, I often describe her motivations for going to Hollywood like this: "She wanted to be a movie star…which means she was a waitress."
That's a pretty common experience in an industry as competitive and grinding as film. But increasingly these kinds of challenges are faced by women in less glamorous and more mainstream industries. As a recent BusinessWeek piece put it, "You Can Have Any Job You Want, as Long as It's Waitress."
Among many other bizarre claims in his most recent article at The American Conservative, Patrick Deneen writes,
Today's conservatives are liberals — they favor an economy that wreaks "creative destruction," especially on the mass of "non-winners," increasingly controlled by a few powerful actors who secure special benefits for themselves and their heirs….
Pace Inigo Montoya, I actually have no idea what Deneen thinks creative destruction means in this context.
Setting aside the question of whether or not it is a bad thing (or accurate, for that matter) to say that "[t]oday's conservatives are liberals," I am far more concerned with how Deneen thinks creative destruction is "wreaked" upon "non-winners." This is further complicated by his implication that creative destruction supports, rather than threatens, "a few powerful actors." (more…)
Samuel Gregg, Acton's Director of Research, joined host Perry Atkinson on Thursday's edition of Focus Today, which webcasts daily at TheDove.tv. You can watch the interview, which touched on the Syrian crisis and Sam's latest book, below.
Tea Party Catholic
In Tea Party Catholic, Samuel Gregg draws upon Catholic teaching, natural law theory, and the thought of the only Catholic Signer of America's Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll of Carrollton—the first "Tea Party Catholic"—to develop a Catholic case for the values and institutions associated with the free economy, limited government, and America's experiment in ordered liberty. Beginning with the nature of freedom and human flourishing, Gregg underscores the moral and economic benefits of business and markets as well as the welfare state's problems. Gregg then addresses several related issues that divide Catholics in America. These include the demands of social justice, the role of unions, immigration, poverty, and the relationship between secularism and big government.

We've recently stumbled onto another way of perceiving the influence of the Malleus Maleficarum, by observing its position using Google's Timeline. I highly recommend taking a look at the work through the prism of this Google tool. If nothing else, it shows us how many of the documents on the Internet that are related to the Malleus are spread across the centuries. If you're a geek like me, this helps put some of what's been written about the Malleus into a historical perspective.

Philanthropy: Huntsmans win fame for generosity
Keith Johnson, Deseret Morning News
At first, Jon Huntsman Sr. worked hard making money so he could . . . well, make more money.
For 15 years, though, he's made money so he can give it away.
And in the not so distant future maybe six months, maybe two years Huntsman plans to sell or otherwise transfer his interest in the Huntsman chemical business and give all of his wealth, except personal property like houses, to his own charitable foundation, which could become one of the leading philanthropic operations in America.
How much the foundation could be worth depends on how much Huntsman's personal stock (he and wife Karen own two-thirds of 51 percent of Huntsman LLC, a $9 billion operation) is worth when Huntsman finally sells out.
Huntsman said the foundation will have more than $500 million, perhaps as much as $1 billion.
While Huntsman's chemical business has suffered financially in recent years, industry analysts say the petrochemical business is primed for a turnaround. And Forbes Magazine estimated Huntsman's worth earlier this year at $2.5 billion tying him for 71st place among the wealthiest people in America. "Forbes is pretty thorough" in coming up with that assessment, said Huntsman, declining to put a number on it himself.
The foundation won't give all the cash away. Much of it will earn interest on investments, providing an economic engine "that will still be giving in 100 years, I hope," Huntsman said in a recent Deseret Morning News interview.
In just over 15 years, the Huntsmans' philanthropic endeavors have become legend in Utah.
And it's that legend the family may draw upon as Jon Huntsman Jr. the oldest of the family's nine children seeks the Utah governorship this year.
Jon Huntsman Jr. has held only appointed positions in federal and state governments ambassador to Singapore under the first President Bush and special trade ambassador under the current President Bush.
Still, the younger Huntsman is clearly being aided in his gubernatorial run by the weight of his name.
A Dan Jones & Associates poll conducted for the Deseret Morning News and KSL-TV last July found that Jon Huntsman Jr. placed second to then-three-term Gov. Mike Leavitt among Republicans considering a gubernatorial race in 2004.
When Jones removed Leavitt from the race and ran the names again, Huntsman Jr. placed first with 36 percent of the support. Jim Hansen the 22-year veteran of the U.S. House who has been on various ballots for more than 30 years in Utah and has never lost a race finished second behind Huntsman Jr., Jones found.

How My Family Celebrates Passover
By sharongreenthal on April 13, 2014
Featured Member Post
It's that time of the year again: when we boil eggs, cook for days, and gather with family and friends to celebrate a very important holiday.
And no, I don't mean Easter--I mean Passover.
For those of you who don't celebrate Passover, it is, in a nutshell, an eight-day holiday consisting of a seder the first night, filled with readings from the Hagaddah, special foods, lots of wine, angels, singing, and of course matzo ball soup. It's a holiday when many Jewish families abstain from all bread products, resulting in lots of Jewish children heading to school with matzoh sandwiches in their lunch box. For the even more observant, the home is emptied of all leavened bread products and the kitchen cleaned from top to bottom, giving the phrase "spring cleaning" a new meaning. In my house, however, our celebration of Passover has always been only about the seder. Often, we have a second-night seder with friends, when we bring our leftovers and have a much more relaxed evening.

When I tell you preparing for a seder takes days of preparation, I'm not exaggerating. There are many special types of food and drink needed for the seder, ranging from small dishes of salt water to chocolate-covered matzoh. A seder table is usually set with the most luxurious and beautiful dishes, silver, linens and wineglasses available in the home. There should be an abundance of flowers, signifying the joy of spring, and candles to add to the mood. There are multiple courses, starting with the aforementioned soup, then the brisket, maybe chicken, vegetables, a kugel or two--sometimes savory, sometimes sweet--and possibly chopped liver to spread on the matzo. There's gefilte fish, another delicacy associated closely with Passover. Anyway, I think you get the idea.
I used to host a seder every year, and though it was hard work, I enjoyed it. We don't have a large family, but we usually had at least one or two other families here with us, plus a stray single or two. Children are integral to the seder, as they are participants who are required to answer the Ma Nishtanah (the four questions). It was fun to plan the evening, set the table--always using the sterling silver that my grandmother gave me--and shop for the ingredients to make the soup, cook the brisket, and prepare the rest of the delicious and ritualistic food that makes a seder a seder. My kids were assigned the making of the place cards and setting out the Hagaddahs for everyone, and my husband would, without fail, do the dishes, which was very much appreciated, believe me.
In the past few years, I haven't hosted a seder, and though I don't mind not having all the work to do, there's still a part of me that misses it. My kids are away at college, and since my father passed away in 2007, it just hasn't been the same for me, as there was something very special about making a seder and having him come to my home to celebrate the holiday, always so appreciative of the good food and hard work required in preparing it all. He would lead the seder, since my husband is not Jewish. The rest of my family lives far enough away that driving here on a weeknight is not very convenient, and to be honest, a seder with less than 12 or so people just isn't as meaningful to me.
We have been so fortunate to be included, the past few years, in seders at friends' homes, which has been a wonderful way to continue to celebrate the holiday. Next year both of my kids will be nearby for Passover, and I plan on making a seder. I'll enjoy every moment.
Here is my recipe for "Easiest Noodle Kugel" - a favorite among family and friends. Enjoy!
8 ounces (kosher) wide egg noodles
1 cup dark raisins
5 large eggs
1 cup regular sour cream (don't use low fat)
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/3 cup sugar
4 cups WHOLE milk
3 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch (or similar generic brand) cereal, coarsely crushed
Preheat oven to 350. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Spread uncooked noodles over bottom of prepared dish and sprinkle with raisins. Whisk eggs, sour cream, butter and sugar in large bowl until smooth. Whisk in milk and pour mixture over noodles. Let stand for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, spread crushed cereal gently over kugel.
Bake kugel until set in center, about 1 hour. Cut kugel into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Please note: the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal is not kosher, so for very observant families this recipe would not be appropriate.

Tomato Basil Quiche – $5 Dinner Challenge
Posted By Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom On July 27, 2009 @ 7:10 pm In $5 Dinner Challenge,Breakfast,Dairy Free,Eggs,Garden,Recipes | 26 Comments
This was a most delicious quiche! Straight from the garden!
When it was time for dinner, I called the boys in from outside. Bubby asked what was for dinner and I thought about it for a second.
No. Don't tell him that. He won't eat it!
"Egg Pie," I told him.
"Yeah. I like egg pie."
And he runs inside to wash up.
By the time he gets to the table…"I love egg pie."
And Cheeks was even saying, "I wu egg pie"…copycatting his big brother.
And they both ate it up!
Just like we call broccoli, "trees." So we now call quiche, "egg pie!"
Homemade Whole Wheat Crust. Squash from the garden. 2 tomatoes from the garden. And cheeseless. Yet still delicious!
Oh yeah. I intended to make this in a pie plate. But after I saw how many veggies there were, I doubled my pie crust recipe to make enough crust for a 9 x 13. What you see below in the "crust" portion is enough crust for a 9 x 13 or for 2 pie plates.
Tomato Basil Quiche
Yield – 4-6 servings
Preparation Time – 30 minutes
Cooking Time – 35-45 minutes
- 1 small onion, finely chopped ($.30)
- 1 medium yellow summer squash (free from the garden)
- 2 medium tomatoes, 1 chopped, 1 sliced (free from the garden)
- 10-12 whole basil leaves (free from the garden)
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed ($.10)
- 6 eggs ($.60)
- 1 1/2 cup milk ($.15) I used rice milk!
- Salt/Pepper
- Optional: 1-2 cups shredded cheese ($.75-$1.50)
- 1/2 cantaloupe ($.72)
- 1 cup white flour ($.20)
- 1 cup wheat flour ($.28)
- 2/3 cup shortening or butter ($.50)
- 1 tsp salt
- 6-8 Tbsp COLD water
1. Slice 1 tomato. Chop all other veggies. Leave basil leaves whole.
2. In mixing bowl, combine both flours with salt. Add shortening.
3. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening.
4. Add 4 Tbsp of COLD water. Using a fork, mix to form a dough ball. Add COLD water 1 Tbsp at a time until dough ball forms. I used almost 7 Tbsp to form my dough ball.
5. I laid the dough onto a long piece of plastic wrap. Then put another piece of plastic wrap over the top and roll it out so that it will fit into the base of the 9 x 13. (No extra flour necessary for this step!)
6. Remove the top plastic wrap layer and flip over the dough into the 9 x 13 baking dish. Remove the other plastic wrap.
7. Press crust dough up the sides about 2/3 of the way.
8. Load crust with chopped onions, squash and 1 tomato.
9. Top with whole basil leaves and sliced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
10. Whisk eggs and milk in mixing bowl. (If you add cheese, whisk it in with the eggs and milk!) Pour into the crust over the veggies. Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes. Serve warm.
11. Cut cantaloupe into wedges or bite size pieces.
12. Serve Tomato Basil Quiche with Cantaloupe. There was not much left from in the pan…glad that I made a 9 x 13, and not just a pie plate!
COST: $2.85 or $3.60 with cheese!
Even if I had paid for the tomatoes and squash, this meal would still be under $5! Especially with the great produce sale prices these days!!!

SALADO, Texas (AP) — Emergency crews are responding to a reported bridge collapse along an interstate in Central Texas.
If you just have to have it now, as in one hour, you can, at least in the Dallas area, as Amazon.com Inc. announced Thursday it will offer Prime Now.
Monty Bennett's name will not appear on the ballot for the Tarrant Regional Water District board of directors yet he remains a powerful backstage player whose influence could shape the direction of the district's business for years to come.
Chris Brassard and Omar Diaz had apartments in mind when they built a 12-unit complex on May Street just south of West Magnolia Avenue on Fort Worth's Near Southside. Then their leasing agent, Will Northern of Northern Realty Group, suggested they consider selling the units as condominiums.
Texas unemployment fell to 4.3 percent during February for the sixth straight month of declines, the Texas Workforce Commission reported Friday.

A week after Sundance Square Plaza opened to public acclaim, officials already look ahead to its next step while marveling at a seamless debut.
"It exceeded our expectations in almost every way," said Sundance Square President and CEO Johnny Campbell.
Thirty years of planning and two years of site preparation met with a sunny Nov. 1 morning as elected officials, project architects and everyday folk applauded the plaza bordered by Third and Fourth, and Commerce and Houston streets.
The $110 million project was a combination public-private partnership.
Viewed as the cultural epicenter of the 35-block Sundance Square development, the plaza element was designed as a gathering spot, what observers call a "living room" for folks to enjoy concerts, relax and appreciate an open space amid a bustling urban environment.
Surrounding the square are buildings new and familiar. New to the development are the Westbrook and Commerce buildings. Among its tenants are a Taco Diner and Starbucks Coffee Co. The building also features a new clock above a permanent stage showcasing bands, other live performances and
feature movies.
Those applauding the plaza opening on Nov. 1 might not have realized that only hours earlier, workers rushed to complete brick work and put the finishing touches on buildings surrounding the square.
"When you're doing an opening like that, it's typical that there are all kinds of glitches and issues you have to deal with," said Campbell, looking ahead to the development's final phase.
That will occur when the Cassidy building reaches completion just west of the plaza area, where two former lots now boast a 216-jet fountain that illuminates after sunset; four 32-foot umbrellas covering 6,000 square feet; a wave pool on the northeast side of the plaza running 65 feet in length; and a multi-purpose pavilion with bicycle racks, outdoor patios and seating.
The Cassidy, offering residential and office uses at the southeast corner of Third and Throckmorton streets, is expected to reach completion by June 2014.

Franklin — A special Common Council meeting will be held Thursday to review a proposed professional baseball stadium at The Rock Sports Complex.
Michael Zimmerman, owner of The Rock and Zimmerman Ventures, filed a concept review application with the Department of City Development on Tuesday for the proposed baseball stadium.
"I started playing around with the idea for a stadium about a year ago," Zimmerman said. "Now, I think it's time to put the pedal to the metal on it."
The 20- to 30-acre stadium, designed to hold 2,500 to 3,000 seats, would cost between $7 million and $11 million to develop. Zimmerman anticipates that the stadium could be complete in the spring of 2015, in time for the baseball season.
"I think many communities would literally kill to have that proposal given to them," Franklin Mayor Tom Taylor said. "My first response (to the proposal) was, 'Is this Christmas?' I'm very, very excited."
As part of the project, Zimmerman Ventures would consider bringing in an independent league professional baseball franchise to the sports complex, 7900 W. Crystal Ridge Drive.
As an investor in the $10.5 million sports complex, Zimmerman Ventures may ask the city for financial assistance for the stadium at the special meeting, according to a letter sent to the city.
The proposed stadium project may also consist of picnic areas, a beer garden, concession stands and a playground area, according to documents submitted to the city. Special events, such as concerts and fireworks, might be considered for the facility.
"Of course, this is all conceptual still," Taylor said. "There are still thousands of questions that need answers."
Initial reports from Zimmerman Ventures suggest the stadium's development may directly impact 15 nearby homeowners, who would be invited to attend an open house held by The Rock at a future date.
"I anticipate overwhelming support for this thing," Zimmerman said. "The Rock has already been a great asset to the community, but adding a professional baseball team to it would have significant economic value."
Next step
concept review for a proposed professional baseball stadium at The Rock
Thursday at 4 p.m.
Franklin City Hall, located at 9229 W. Loomis Road.

Deputy among 6 dead in Wash. shooting spree
Police say the suspect turned himself in after leading police on chase
Officer Down: Deputy Sheriff Anne Jackson
By Manuel Valdes
The Associated Press
Skagit County Sheriff's Deputy Anne Jackson, 40, is seen is a handout photo released by the Mount Vernon Police Department Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2008. Six people died Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2008, including Deputy Jackson.
(AP Photo/Mount Vernon Police Department )
ALGER, Wash. — A shooting rampage in which six people died along a trail of blood stretching from a tiny town to the state's busiest highway ended with the surrender of a man who was recently released from jail, authorities said.
The man's mother described her son as "desperately mentally ill" and said the sheriff's deputy he's accused of killing had tried to help the family for years.
State Department of Corrections officials identified the gunman in Tuesday's deadly spree as Isaac Zamora, 28, who had just served a six-month jail sentence for drug possession in Skagit County, in northwest Washington.
Since his Aug. 6 release, Zamora had been under community supervision by corrections officers, spokesman Chad Lewis said.
Zamora's mother said she had tried repeatedly to get help for her mentally ill son.
"We're so devastated for the families," Dennise Zamora told The Associated Press by telephone. "I wish it would have been him or me that was killed. That's how deeply I feel about it."
The six who died included Skagit County Sheriff's Deputy Anne Jackson, 40, who was shot while responding to the initial call by Dennise Zamora.
The dead were found at multiple crime scenes. Jackson and a second person were killed at the same location near the small town of Alger, two construction workers found shot nearby, and a body was found a few houses away, Trooper Keith Leary said. A civilian motorist was killed along I-5 near a rest stop, Leary said.
Dennise Zamora described Jackson as a sympathetic figure who had tried to help the family in the past.
"She was very gracious," she said. "She knew exactly what we were going through, said her brother was going through some similar stuff."
At least two others were wounded, including a Washington State Patrol trooper shot while trying to stop the shooter on the freeway, the State Patrol said. A motorcyclist was shot in the arm at a Shell gas station.
"There are a lot of answers that are just not available right now," Everett police Sgt. Robert Goetz told a news conference late Tuesday.
After the shootings in the Alger area, the armed man raced south on the freeway at speeds in excess of 90 mph, with troopers, sheriff's deputies and Mount Vernon police in pursuit, Leary said.
The first shootings were reported shortly after 2 p.m. Tuesday and the suspect was in custody by about 4:30 p.m. He turned himself in at the Skagit County Sheriff's Office.
The wounded trooper drove himself to a hospital and was released after treatment. He was identified as Trooper Troy Giddings. The other victims were not immediately identified.
Since his Aug. 6 release, Zamora had reported as ordered to corrections officials and had passed drug and alcohol screenings, Corrections Secretary Eldon Vail said.
"I want to extend our profound sorrow and heartfelt sympathy for the victims of the shootings," Vail said. "This is a senseless loss of the lives of innocent citizens and a member of our law-enforcement family."
Gov. Chris Gregoire called for an independent third-party review to be led by the head of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs and a prosecutor to be appointed by the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys.
"I will be directing them to look into how this case was handled and provide an initial report to me within 10 days," Gregoire said late Tuesday night.
Hours after the shootings, a group of residents gathered at the Alger Bar and Grill to watch the television news.
"It's devastating for this town," Steve Thomas said, "The people here are very law enforcement-friendly. It's very somber."

Roll heavy rosin paper, available at most home-improvement stores, over the floor and tape in place. Before priming the walls, tape off architectural moldings that will remain white.
Apply primer that has been tinted with Cranberry Cocktail paint to the walls. Cut in and prime molding and wall edges with a brush before priming the walls with rollers, creating a smooth surface for the paint.
Paint Color: Benjamin Moore paint #2083-20 (Cranberry Cocktail)
When the primer is dry, roll Cranberry Cocktail paint onto the walls. This sophisticated color will create the illusion of higher ceilings and bring out the molding details.
This takes the room from boring white to Victorian charm, bringing out the natural beauty of the architectural moldings.
The fireplace brick is dusted, cleaned and allowed to dry.
Mix cement paint in shades of charcoal and brown with water, dip a sponge in the mixture and rub it into the brick (Image 1)
The color will deepen the look of the bricks and help to highlight the decorative tiles placed among them (Image 2).

Karnataka: Most Persecuted State Attacks in Coorg, Hospet & Mulbagal
Back To Main Regional
Karnataka, November 24, 2012: Alleged Hindu extremists attacked a worship meeting, tore Bibles and beat up a pastor in Kulshalanagar, Coorg district. Some angry extremists barged into the worship meeting conducted by Pastor Koshy, hurled verbal abuses against the congregation, accused Pastor Koshy of forceful conversion and proceeded to beat him up.
The radicals tore one Bible inside the church, broke three Church windows and the roof tiles, Pastor Koshy said. One church member alerted the Kushalanagar police station. The Sub-Inspector Chikkaswamy along with few constables visited the spot at about 12 noon and held an inquiry about the attack.
The police filed First Information Report against five extremists under Sections 295 A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs and other various Sections of the IPC.
Pastor Lewis Mascarenhas , a member of the Church of South India (CSI) is an evangelist based at Hospet in Bellary district of Karnataka. He lives with his wife Bhabitha Mascarenhas , at Shanthinagar in Hospet and has been sharing the message of Christ at Hospet and in the surrounding villages, during the last 5 years.
On 23-11-2012 Friday, at about 5 in the evening, he came across some Muslims in the town who struck a friendly note with him and expressed their desire to know more about Jesus Christ as per the belief of Christians in the teachings of Christ. In response to their curiosity he gave them a couple handbills dealing with the Christian faith and also tried to explain to them what exactly the gospels say about the birth, life, death and then of the resurrection of Christ. As he was answering some of their questions about Christianity, the news spread like wild fire in the town that a Christian was trying to forcibly convert Muslims to Christianity. Immediately a crowd gathered and began attacking the pastor without trying to know exactly what was happening.
The enraged Muslims then dragged the profusely bleeding pastor to the Hospet Rural police station at Chithodagi and filed a case against him alleging that he was forcibly trying to convert Muslims to Christianity. The police after a brief inquiry rushed the pastor to the B.C. Acharya Hospital at Hospet and got him admitted as an in-patient. He is under the police custody in the hospital as the police have filed a case against him for insulting the religious sentiments of Muslims as well as for forcibly trying to convert them to Christianity.
As a sequel to the incident the Muslims have begun attacking the churches and the institutions run by Christians in Hospet by pelting stones and destroying the church property. Muslims were also contemplating upon calling for a Hospet Bundh as a protest in this regard, which, as we have learnt, is being prevented after discussions among the concerned senior leaders of different communities in Hospet. Anticipating further trouble, police protection is being provided to Churches and Christian institutions in Hospet.

Australian govt eyes emergency mobile broadband network
The Australian government has asked the Productivity Commission to conduct a cost-benefit analysis into a dedicated national mobile broadband network for emergency services.
The Australian government has asked the Productivity Commission to conduct a cost-benefit analysis into a dedicated national mobile broadband network for emergency services.
'With the NBN, the first thing we threw out was ideology, lies, and spin': Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has argued that the Australian government should engage with the public in the same way he has around the National Broadband Network.
New telecommunications equipment will be installed as part of the NSW government's radio network upgrade to improve communications between emergency services.
iiNet has hinged much of its growth strategy on the rollout of the National Broadband Network, but CEO David Buckingham is pessimistic that the government will deliver on its promises of a faster rollout.
Plans to finish the NBN fixed-wireless network in 2015 have gone since the change of government, despite the company meeting its own new running targets since the strategic review.
Australian telcos will need to hand over confidential network expansion plans to the government in order to be eligible for mobile network blackspot funding.
ZDNet's David Gewirtz has been warning about China and the risk to US infrastructure for years. The NSA now seems to agree. Plus the FAA wants to restrict commercial drones, which we all knew was inevitable.
Australian telecommunications player Amcom will provide data network services to an additional 141 sites across the Northern Territory after signing an AU$6.5 million deal with the NT government.
The networking equipment maker's entire line-up of 802.11n and 802.11ac wireless routers and arrays are now certified for low-level government work.
The Australian government expects the telecoms industry to passively wait while regulations are reworked to enable its multi-technology mix NBN, but this process has created new opportunities for market disruption. One of the biggest lies in the future of the Optus HFC network — and there is a strong argument for TPG to buy it.
While the government wants to enforce network sharing to improve service, suppliers say that sharing won't solve the problems of poor mobile coverage in some areas.
iiNet has secured an agreement with the Victorian government to build an AU$6.7 million public Wi-Fi network in Melbourne, Ballarat, and Bendigo.
The older cellular encryption can be cracked by the National Security Agency, leaked documents previously showed. An upgrade to that security could make eavesdropping a lot harder.
The South Australian government, Adelaide City Council, and Cisco are launching an Internet of Things innovation hub to encourage startups to develop applications through the AdelaideFree Wi-Fi network.
The Vertigan cost-benefit analysis has further downgraded the role of fibre in the multi technology mix (MTM) model for the NBN - even though it also suggests that fibre isn't as relatively expensive as it used to be. What are we to make of this?
Hackers have reportedly broken into US government systems that store personal data on federal employees.
Wellington City Council, Regional Council, Upper Hutt and Porirua advance plans for shared ICT infrastructure.
The German government is cancelling a contract with Verizon, citing that it wants full control over its communications network.
Key minority party leader, Clive Palmer, has said that the National Broadband Network could be scaled back to AU$7 billion in cost to reduce government spending.
The UK government's secure network has come under attack from hackers controlled by a foreign state.

When buying a new home, individuals aren't looking to accumulate their "stuff."
They're looking to buy an experience. That experiential purchasing behavior is especially true when it comes to selecting items for the home.
Current home decorating is not about flashy, over-the-top design; rather, it's about decorating for real life — a home that's smaller, more well-equipped and custom-made for its owners' lifestyles.
"Homeowners are getting back to basics," says Rebecca Kolls, senior director at Iconoculture, a consumer trends advisory firm. "They are putting roots down and investing in items to increase their quality of life."
How are homeowners making their spaces more practical and livable for the long term? What exactly are the hot trends for 2012? Kolls points to several distinct ideas, including: practicality, rightsizing, style-telling and universal design.
Practical and perfectly sized homes. Today's average new home is smaller than those from recent years at 2,135 square feet. It emphasizes inviting, livable spaces, and downplays the formal, untouched rooms of yesterday.
Despite a decrease in overall square footage, kitchens are growing, homeowners are adding more porches, ditching the conventional living room concept and embracing fewer — yet larger — rooms.
To fill those rooms, homeowners are looking for products that provide function, as well as fashion. They are no longer buying for the sake of buying.
"The first question consumers are asking is, 'Do I need this or do I want this?'" says Kolls. They're looking for more practical solutions for everyday life, like items that promote health and overall well-being, versus over-the-top indulgences.
Instead of one purely decorative element, homeowners are springing for more affordable luxuries with experiential benefits.
In the bedroom, these purchases include new mattresses for increased comfort and a better night's sleep, plus items like improved lighting and window coverings that facilitate a gentle transition from sleeping to waking.
Bathroom remodels include items like towel warmers, steam showers and multiple body spray outlets that promote relaxation and spa-like indulgence.
Style-telling solutions. Gone are the days of perfectly-matched rooms and pristine homes. Today's homeowners are looking to tell a story through their decorating, with pieces that put a personal stamp on their spaces.
People are stylizing the most-used room in the home — the kitchen — by adding workstations, artwork, photography and more furniture-like cabinetry enhanced by decorative cabinet knobs and pulls.
Homeowners mix-and-match more now than ever before, complementing a great-grandmother's antique dining room table with modern, geometric dinnerware; putting vintage photos into new stainless steel frames; storing K-cup coffee pods in antique coffee bins.
"Homeowners are adding pieces that make sense: items that enhance their experience and put a personal stamp on a room," Kolls says.
Flexible design. Baby boomers are the first generation to collectively fight aging. These individuals are caring for their parents, their children, and even their grandchildren, all while making plans for their own future.
Boomers want to spend the rest of their lives in their own home, and they're looking for universally designed products to help them do just that.
In addition to more accessible everyday items, homes with several generations under one roof are also utilizing technology to help keep all members of the family safe and well.
In fact, according to Kolls, wireless home health monitoring technologies are expected to grow by $4.4 billion by the year 2013. Smart mirrors that can monitor day-to-day health, including changes in appearance, plus alerts that report whether an aging parent has commenced his or her daily routine, are just a couple of examples of how technology is bringing additional security and flexibility to the lives of caregivers.
Today's home may have a smaller footprint, but it is much more personal and memorable than houses of the past. Families are spending more time in the home and incorporating multiple generations under one roof, which makes for richer design — and even richer experiences — than ever before.

Australia is a great sporting nation but boxing is such a niche sport than I've never bought into the idea that they lose participants to other sports in any nation.
As to talent, Quade Cooper's getting in the ring soon, that should answer a few questions. Surely has better footwork than any current fighter.

Yeh but seriously
We have a million threads about how the NFL and NBA are taking all the US boxing talent.
Yet here we have a guy who was average at a sport that's the second most popular winter sport in a small country and took up boxing at 23-24 and is supposedly the only guy to win 3 world titles going down in weight.
So just imagine what guys lime Lance Franklin or Cyril Rioli could have done if they where boxers.
I'd post vids but the mods might ban me for showing too much soccer lol

Every nation has great sportsmen and a variety of sports, given boxing isn't even mainstream it makes no sense to argue they were 'lost' from boxing.

There are approximately six thousand languages on Earth today, each a descendant of the tongue first spoken by Homo sapiens some 150,000 years ago. While laying out how languages mix and mutate over time, linguistics professor John McWhorter reminds us of the variety within the species that speaks them, and argues that, contrary to popular perception, language is not immutable and hidebound, but a living, dynamic entity that adapts itself to an ever-changing human environment.
Full of humor and imaginative insight, The Power of Babel draws its illustrative examples from languages around the world, including pidgins, Creoles, and nonstandard dialects.
John McWhorter, associate professor of linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, is the author of The Word on the Street. He lives in Oakland, California.

State hikes arts funding
By DAVE McMILLION
June 11, 1998
State funding to support the arts, including classical music, the Maryland Theatre and another blues festival in Washington County, will increase by $25,000 over the current year's amount, state officials said Thursday. Gov. Parris N. Glendening announced that Washington County will receive $156,543 in grants in the coming budget year to support arts programs. The grants, recommended by the Maryland State Arts Council, are used to support a variety of arts programs in the county, including the Maryland Symphony Orchestra, Washington County Museum of Fine Arts and the Maryland Theatre, which received $24,500 for operating expenses.

Art Callaham: Community wishes for the New Year
December 29, 2012
Events during the week leading up to Christmas so sadden my heart that I couldn't do a "Christmas wishes" column last week. However, so many of my friends responded to my request for their personal Christmas and New Years wishes that I'll try to get at least a taste of their thoughts into this column. I've divided the responses into categories - so here goes. Under the heading of safety and education for our children Wayne Ridenour responded with, "My wish would be that our children are safe and that we continue to support them as a community as much as is humanly possible." Elizabeth Paul echoed that sentiment: "Like all of us right now after these horrifying shootings, I wish for peace.
Kevin Moriarty - Arts Council chief aims to enrich lives
By Kristin Wilson
April 23, 2006
If art can make people's lives better, then Kevin Moriarty has the power to improve the quality of life for the greater Washington County area. As the executive director of the Washington County Arts Council, Moriarty said he sees it as his job to "enrich the social, economic, cultural and educational environment" of the Washington County community. "I feel that bringing the experience of art into people's lives is an inherent good," Moriarty said. "Sometimes art is a language that works for people when other languages don't.
Letters to the editor
October 18, 2006
Celebrating the arts, locally To the editor: The Washington County Arts Council was born on Oct. 25, 1967, when citizens interested in the arts met at the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts to discuss ways to encourage the arts locally. The Arts Council thus was formed to aid and advise the cultural arts in Washington County and to integrate the arts into the total life of the communities it serves. Maryland was one of the first states in the nation to create a state council for the arts, when the General Assembly enacted legislation declaring it "the policy of the state to strive to create a nurturing climate for the arts" and recognizing that the arts are a vital part of Maryland's culture and heritage.

About 35 turn out to discuss forming arts organization in Waynesboro area
By JENNIFER FITCH | email@example.com
March 22, 2012
An early meeting about an arts organization forming in the Waynesboro area generated feedback Thursday about youths, participation, exposure and existing resources. "We're really ready to go to the public and talk about the possibility of an arts alliance of the greater Waynesboro area," said Andrew Sussman of the Cumberland Valley School of Music. Vision 2015 hired a Kansas-based consultant, John Divine, to work on plans for an arts alliance. "As a community, to be successful in anything you do, it has to be your decisions, your commitment and your buy-ins," Divine said.
Gorilla Guerrilla Girl attends Wilson College Arts Day
By DON AINES
April 3, 2008
CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. -- One might think the arts would be one of the most progressive segments of society in terms of the advancement of women and minorities, but the walls of many major galleries are dominated by the works of white men, as are the halls of power in Hollywood, according to a woman wearing a gorilla mask. Who was that mysterious masked woman at Wilson College for Arts Day on Wednesday? She used the name "Frida Kahlo," but that was a nom de guerre for this Guerrilla Girl, whom like other members of her group, uses the name of a deceased female artist.

We had a beautiful Steak BBQ, huge servings for $15 TALA..food was delicious and filling...Had to ask for a takeaway dish as I couldnt finish it. Definitely will go back
Great service, food was excellent. Vindaloo lamb wrap had a lot of flavors. Good price. Slight mixed up with the menus as they had changed the prices from the old menus.
we have visited this over a few years of visiting samoa and really enjoyed a cheap and very tasty lunch.
This place is located in valima jut out of apia ( about a $10tala taxi drive up the hill) 5 mins out of town.
If you like a good fijian curry then you will love this.
we were the only...
We came to have lunch one day but were too late, so decided to return for an early dinner.
The menu is quite basic compared to most Indian restaurants we are use to in oz. With service not all that Freindly to start we thought we may be in for a rough dinner. But upon ordering you smell he good...
A real find opposite our hotel (Le Manumea), doesnt look like much from the road, but once inside a lovely outdoor restaurant. Vego curries were less than half price of the meat and they were just fantastic, tasty, spicy and with just a bit of a Samoan influence. A must do if you can get there.
great curry, hot hot hot. great service and friendly staff. the whole family enjoyed the meal and we will be back
We both had a thali dinner with the butter chicken and dhansak. The whole meal was great, the only thing that would improve this place would be mosquito coils - and make sure you cover up/wear repellant, as we were nearly eaten alive by mozzys! The lady in charge there - I think she is the owner - was really...
I had a vegetarian curry which was really good and my husband had the beef curry which he didn't think was quite as good as others.
Good portion sizes and friendly staff.
Great food and great service. Roti was freshly made and delicious. Food was of high quality. Well worth a visit. Great Pina Colada also!
Although staff visible no one came to serve us at counter. We wanted to make a booking but staff so tired and unhelpful that changed our minds. Food plonked on plate and not well cooked .

Great temp gauge but I wish the dip stick was a little longer.
zyonsdream Posted:
Great dipstick, looks great on my Deluxe. Did not cloud up when it got rained on like many do.
jdirker Posted:
Just what I needed to give my flstni a old school feeling!
rmgipson Posted:
Works good. On my flstfi I have no problem with the "stick" part not being long enough like others have said.
bamf1978 Posted:
fits perfect, and great price
csandberg Posted:
Nice look compared to OEM
JP Brown 63 Posted:
This temp. dip stick works really well, I carry my old one with me to check oil.
sailaway50 Posted:
Addeed a nice look with machine face and everyone should know what their oil temp is
CTLIII Posted:
adds more looks to my already snazzy lookin' bike
heffler Posted:
nice look and easy to read
javery36 Posted:
Simple fix for an important gauge. this is the easiest and most crucial $32 bucks I spent here.
sclark03 Posted:
As always great product and fast service.
DuraMac Posted:
Very cool looking dial, Slightly smaller diameter cap so easier to get in and out past the seat than that original. Length is shorter that original but ends exactly half way between Full and Add on the original. I like it a lot.
gina1278 Posted:
Works GREAT! And I really like the look of it.
comfortd2 Posted:
Is 1" shorter than the original dip stick. You need original dip stick if you want to check your oil.
