In the late 1970s, after Dolan had become a priest, he would often celebrate a packed Sunday 5 p.m. Mass at the Church of the Immacolata in Richmond Heights. Musial, often on his way home from the ballpark, was usually there.
"You're standing there, and you're trying not to notice that it's Stan Musial coming up to get Holy Communion," Dolan said. "And here comes one of the greatest ball players ever — he had the world by the tail — and yet the reverence with which he approached this sincere act of faith, this union with the Lord in church. That's what it's all about."
Dolan and Musial got to know each other well in Rome, after Dolan was named rector of the North American Pontifical College in the 1990s.
Musial and his friend Ed Piszek — the founder of fishstick-maker Mrs. Paul's Kitchens Inc. — traveled to Poland in the 1970s to support youth athletics and education. The two men helped found a Little League center in Kutno, and in their travels, met the archbishop of Krakow, Karol Wojtyla.
Dolan said Musial later told him that one of the greatest thrills of his life was not when he reached the 3,000-hit mark, but Oct. 16, 1978, when Wojtyla was elected Pope John Paul II.
Dolan said this week that Musial "would be what you might call a classical meat-and-potatoes, salt-of-earth, light-of-the-world Catholic."
"Priests will tell you there's a Catholic chemistry they can see in some people, and Stan had it in abundance," Dolan continued. "He's in the only Hall of Fame that really counts right now."

LG Optimus LTE2 may go international as the Optimus G
South Korea may soon not be the only country to enjoy 4G goodness of the LTE2, as the rumored Optimus G is set to bring its impressive specs to other markets.
The LG Optimus G will feature an updated 13 MP camera (a step up from the 8 MP shooter found on the LTE2) and quad-core Krait processor (up from dual-core), alongside a 4.7 inch True HD-IPS LCD of 720p resolution, 2 GB of RAM and Full HD video recording.
Here's hoping that LG announces the beastly phone at the IFA trade show in Berlin next week.

Reviews for That's Amore
by Ariana
3 months ago
Had been told to try out this place for awhile. It is a small restaurant so has an intimate feel. Pizzas weren't what I had envisaged so was a little let down. Ambience wasn't that great either. The cook out the back looked bored and I caught him sitting on the kitchen bench at one point then scrolling through his cellphone as he didn't have any work to do. Only good things about the place was the location being not far from home, the wine and the entree.

Good pizzas maybe slightly over prices.The interior of the restaurant needs a bit more work, it is a bit out dated. The restaurant it self is too dark, needs more lighting. Apart from that the pizzas are tasty and there is big selection to choose from so there is something for everyone. I do recommend the place and I will definitely come back. however if were going to impress someone on the first date this may not be the best place to go. The restaurant is very small so there isn't much privacy as the tables are very close together... Could be a bit awkward trying to get to know one another on the first date and having people next to you listening. Nonetheless, yummy food! Just need a wee bit of change to the interior.

First time was for lunch. All the pizzas at our table were about as dry as chipboard and burned on the base Even steak knives couldn't cut through. Was pretty disappointed that wait staff did not pick up on the fact that all of our party had left at least 1/2 of our pizzas uneaten on our plates. The second time was much better: takeaway order brought excellent bases, simple, seasonal toppings and a really nice fresh taste.

A cute little place to take a date. Authentic Italian pizzas. What I love about this place is that they make to order and that they offer the option of turning your pizza into a calzone, which I don't think you see very often in Auckland. The crust to the pizza is lovely, today we had the Re di Napoli calzone which came with fresh prawns and mushrooms. The prawns were cooked beautifully, making us want more. The wines here are also lovely, enjoyed the Lambrusco, a sweet red wine from Italy. A lovely place to take that first date at a good price. Was able to have the calzone between two people.

I've eaten here twice recently and have to say it is easily one of the best pizzeria's in Auckland. Nice little setting too if you are eating in. I have had the Magherita and also the Funghi (cause my mrs wanted to try the Funghi, I always go for Magherita otherwise). The Funghi wasn't as good as the Magherita (naturally). Also had a vegetarian Cannelloni, it was ok, but the pizza was best. They stock a pretty decent Limoncelli and what visit to an Italian restaurant would be complete without some Amaretto too.

I was after an authentic Italian pizza. Came to That's Amore and had a great experience, small place, however it has a comfy and relaxed atmosphere, with a nice background music. Don't miss the chance to try the "Capricciosa" and the "4 Formaggi"!! Birra Moretti beer to accompany was my choice.
Little Italy outside Italy with a great service!

Best Italian Pizzas not made in Italy, great food team
Genuine Authentic it made me feel as though I was back in Rome. Prices were great, food even better and the service was top notch, we will be back for sure

Best authentic pizza in central Auckland City. Cozy warm surrounds - nice first date venue if you come on a weekday night early. You will not be disappointed with any selection of pizza. Subtlety of flavours is something they excel at, while the crusts are delicious and have a hint of added herbs. Abandon that Domino's urge and come here instead!

A fantastic little restaurant. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food is lovely! We had a birthday dinner of 20 people and they handled the group well including the small children. Will most certainly visit again.

Visited here last night, and had a good feeling as soon as I walked in the door. Waitress was very personable but not in your face. Some of the best pizza I have had outside Italy, I will definitely be making this my local. Really reasonable prices and delicious food.

Best pizza in Auckland. Their price is quite cheap compare to it's size. Good value and delicious.Other than pizza their salad and pasta is average for me. But their pizza is a star! We will come back soon.

Definitely the best pizza out of Italy. Actually would rate it just as highly as pizza we have had in Italy. Been many times and always a very authentic experience. Recommended to many friends and family for a great dinner or lunch. Awesome value too

Authentic Italian pizza, with quality ingredients and a nice, cosy pizzeria atmosphere inside. The calzones are particularly impressive. The menu runs to something like 40-50 options, which is more than you see in most pizza places – the gamberoni is a star! Believe they've recently lost Alessandro - otherwise known as the pizza-making maestro extraordinaire - and one hell of a nice guy, which is a shame. However, understand he may be behind a new pizzeria closeby in Chancery.

That's the truly Italian handmade Pizza. Me and my husband both thought it was so delicious!!! We had 2 excellent pizza and a bottle of Chianti Reserve, and the tiramisu was amazing!!!! That's Amore is becoming our favorite place for pizza. Keep up the good work and we will definitely be going back!!!

I came here with my boyfriend for the first time after reading the great reviews. I was impressed with the service and the atmosphere. The waitresses were friendly, attentive and helpful. The decor was charming and romantic. However, we were disappointed with the pizza. We ordered #31 (Re Di Napoli) and #38 (That's Amore) 'half-and-half' in the largest size. Perhaps it was the truffle oil (as it was the only ingredient I was unfamiliar with) but #38 had an unpleasant, smokey after-taste. #31 was slightly better, but not great either. Both halves were soggy, the toppings kept sliding off, and the crust was burnt in places. Finally, the portion size was not worth the $32 we paid.
I'm giving the restaurant two stars because the staff were friendly and did seem genuinely concerned with providing a good experience for us. However, the experience did not stack up to the glowing reviews on this page. I've noticed that many of the positive reviews refer to an Italian chef/owner, who we did not see (all of the staff were Asian). Perhaps the place has changed management and gone downhill? I don't know.
by Whitecat X
Feb 20, 2013
Sometimes good, sometimes not..
I wonder if the chef's moody?
We've been there many times and the experiences had exactly two faced. Extremely yummy or extremely doubtful. No mediocre.
When they're in a good mood?, we had an excellent pizza. When in a gloomy?, we had a small, soggy one with a little too much tomato sauce with just little mozzarella.
But I wouldn't stop you if you want to know a wonderland.
Taste itself is not bad!

Nov 07, 2012
Went last night for a relaxed pizza and bottle of wine. Absolutely loved it! Was very understated and informal which if you've ever been to Italy, is how most restaurants there are.
Great pizza and a nice atmosphere.. Only problem was they took a long time to clear everyone's plates once they were finished eating. Not always a great feeling finishing your meal then staring at the plate for another 10mins. But aside from that it was a great night!
Will be back soon.

The pizza and calzone is amazing. Almost exactly like you get in Naples.
The only problem is the pasta dishes. They are tiny and expensive.
How come the pizza is so generous, but the pasta is so small ?
----- 26 Jul, 2011 -----
Having recently returned from the home of pizza - Naples, I had a craving for Margharita.
The Margharita pizza here is very good. In my opinion it is about 80-85% as good as you will get in Naples. Not perfect, but very close. As far as I know there is only one other place in Auckland that does proper Margharita.
Great Italian themed decor in the restaurant. The walls are covered with interesting things. The place is not a plush restaurant, but that is not what you want for an Italian pizzeria.
Prices are reasonable also.
Excellent, friendly waitress was on duty. She was making a real effort to do her job well.
Would I come back here - absolutely. You can't beat genuine Italian pizza.

One of the best italian style Pizza's in the country- They are serving Pizza's with a thin crust - and that is how it should be- the pharma ham is really nice. Nice service- try it and you won't be disappointed. Best time to go is for lunch or Sundays - as they have a 15 Dollar deal for all pizza's.

I loved this place - the guy that served us was really nice, genuine, and shared a lot about his home town in italy.
i'd never tried birra moretti before - i think he said it's not really available much in stores in nz - i highly recommend it.
The thing that stuck out here was the fact that the owner and staff had clearly built a community around them, as witnessed by all the testimonials up on the walls.. seemed like they had a real buzz going.
Oh yeah, and importantly, the pizza was good too.

Pizzas only lukewarm and horribly soggy with toppings falling off everywhere, pasta portions ridiculously small for the price. Not coming back.
by Yvonne

I have eaten here before and really enjoyed the pizzas on offer.
However, this time the experience was completely different. I ordered the bufala, but appeared to have been given a Margarita. When I highlighted absence of buffalo mozzarella from this order was met with complete negativity by the owner. I was questioned whether I was a buffalo mozzarella expert and asked whether I was from Napoli. I am neither, but fail to see the relevance in my question. The photo of the pizza advertised ordered was nothing like the pizza I had received.
The staff appeared really uncomfortable as the owner shouted and became abusive. This is such as shame, as all I asked for was some buffalo mozzarella. I asked for the pizza to be packed for me to take away as I was being asked to pay for it but this was declined after a heated discussion. Eventually and reluctantly, the pizza was not paid for as a compromise.
Extremely disappointed and would not recommend this establishment

Yummy!! This is a place where you can actually get a proper PIZZA in Auckland, with nice taste and good quality ingredients, (not the, tasteless thick bread with topping, they call pizza at a lot of other places), I think this is one of the best Pizzerias in town.

If I hear the word pizza, I think of That's Amore.. Why?? Its because they've got the best pizza and I'm addicted. I recommend #38 and #33 oh! they're divine.
The atmosphere is cosy and clean. Staff were awesome, friendly, efficient and enjoy listening to their cute Italian accent.
Will definitely be going back!!

"Perfect dough, divine pizza !"
In the quest for the best pizza, I'm always trying new places, and I must admit I'm never satisfied...
So I tried That's Amore pizza, and now, I'm totally addict !
I tried the Capricciosa pizza, with artichokes, delicious salami, capers, ham, mozzarella.... A combination to die for !
All the ingredients are really fresh and the dough is simply perfect, white, crispy, light and so tasty. You can choose between pizzas (43 different choice), calzone, salads, gnocchi, gelati....
We had some wine by the glass, a traditional red Lambrusco (slightly fizzy, low-alcohol wine) which pairs so well with the pizza. You can choose by the glass, a half bottle or a bottle.
For desert I ordered the homemade Tiramisu... Yuuuuuuuummmy. Served in a glass. So freshly made, that the Savoiardi biscuits were still crispy on the sugar side ! Very light, perfect for a desert. There was not cacao powder on the top but chocolate powder. This tiramisu was perfect, but I would just love it with more Marsala liquor !
The owners are real italian guys, from Napoli, in the south of Italy (where they do the best pizza in the world). You can hear them talking italian, I have no idea what there were talking about, but it give to the place a nice exotic atmosphere :)
That's Amore is by far my favorite pizza in Auckland. We are lucky to have such an authentic place in Auckland, where you can enjoy fresh tasty pizzas !
Grazie, grazie!!

For three years I've been wanting to try this place, since I walked past every day while walking to uni and I had read the good reviews. Last Friday I finally got the chance, as a special celebration for my graduation. I was very disappointed. My family and I ordered 2 pizzas and 1 calzone. The flavours sounded really nice on the menu, but the pizzas turned out to be super thin and soggy - these are not real Italian pizzas at all! I was very disappointed and will not be eating there again.

The only place for that real *with hand gestures* Italian woodfired crust. Get simple toppings so you can truly appreciate the chewy crusty goodness.

Great pizza, though for the price... i'm a bit on the rocks. Good quality pizza might be worth the money spending on it, and I do enjoy the atmosphere. A bit cramped for seating when going in during busy period and a tad unnerving to have your picture taken whilst in the middle of eating your meal. Overall, good pizza and great service.

I love the Pizzas in That's Amore. The pizzas are delicious and great. The owner and staffs are fabulous, the service is great! My favourite pizza is number 34, Duca. My boyfriend always has number 8, Hawaiian. I love the Choc truffles for dessert, as my friends love Tiramisu. Will definitely come back again soon.

The best pizza ever, handmade with love by the owner, Allessandro, who is such a wonderful friendly guy that it makes a visit to dine in or takeaway worthwhile just to see his smile and hear him speaking in his native language. It does look like the toppings are a bit thin when you receive your pizza, but the taste is amazing... proving less is more. I highly recommend the prawn pizza minus the rocket and the ham and mushroom pizza with onions added. We also love the calzone. We love dining in on fresh pizza out of the oven but taking away is good too - remember to get a big one as you will want more! The dining area is small and designed to be casual - I find it interesting looking at the pictures and comments on the wall. But please get Diet Coke!
Have visited many times since this review and still top notch (March 2013).

maybe i didn't order the right flavor but i didn't really enjoy my pizza. I had the italian sausage pizza which had i think fennel seeds and shiitake tasting mushrooms and the spicy salami pizza with spinach. It didn't have that much flavor and not a single hint of spiciness. the pizza base tasted similar to turkish bread.

I love this place, I just went to the restaurant today for the very first time! I've been eying this place for a very long time now but never had the courage to enter the restaurant.
As soon as you walk in this restaurant you feel like you are in 'little italy' and I love how the wine bottles sit on the table.
Good atmosphere, excellent service, and most importantly good quality food!

My second time at That's Amore was brilliant. We were a large group taking over most of the small restaurant. The food was fast and fresh. Strangely, the salads were the last to come out but everyone enjoyed their meal.
The staff at That's Amore add to the charm with their warm welcome and consistently good service.
If I had to pick anything for improvement, I would say the portion size for the salads and gnocci dishes was a little small. Perhaps they could be offered in different sizes as with the pizzas?
I truly love this place -it's a little hard to find but totally worth the effort!

Great genuine Italian style pizza. In my opinion the best Auckland has to offer. I'll be going back.

This is true Italian 'melt-in-your-mouth' pizza at its best. The flavours on my "Fattoria" pizza with capsicum, olives and chicken were simply delicious. The chef is full of exuberant Italian warmth as well. Best pizza I've had for a long time.

This is best in Auckland. I have been here several times now and tried different pizzas. I love "Pear and Blue Cheese Pizza" best. I wish there is pizza restaurant like That's Amore in Japan!

Thank God, after lots of researches, i finally found the REAL Italian pizza in Auckland!!!
This place is tiny and welcoming. When you get into the pizzeria, you listen to Italian music and you can see small pictures of Italian personalities hanging by the walls, which is quite nice for an Italian in a foreign country. :) It makes you feel like you have found a piece of Italy in the other side of the world!
The service is really good, both if you have your lunch or dinner there and if you take it away.
Alex and his staff are very nice and i'm just enthusiast about them!
Prices are in the mid-range and that's a point plus.
If i may suggest to all of you, try the CALZONE FARCITO, cos it's one of my favourites! Eheheheh!
Everything there tastes like the original Italian one!
Grazie Ale!!! :)

It's a great place. My most favourite take away food. The pizza is fantastic! One of the main reasons I love this place because the quality of the products used is very high (and that rates very high on my list!) and you can feel the difference.One of my most favourite things in the world is eating Alessando's pizza at 5 o'clock in the morning straight from the fridge after a big night out partying. Thank you so much for your service and quality!

It's a different taste and an experience that has been favourable to my family. Number 6 with garlic is my favourite BUT That's Amore is just YUMMY!!! Calzone is great as well and very filling!!! However,the pasta is my number 1 with a small garlic pizza!!! Prego Allessandro!!! The best in Aklnd!!!

Just like Italy - the best in Auckland and Alessandro is fantastic. That's Amore is a hidden treasure tucked away around the corner which of course makes it all the more appealing. Totally recommend the calzone.

Set in a 500 000 acre private concession of the Okavango Delta, Abu lies at the heart of a pristine wilderness and is surrounded by the open floodplains, island sanctuaries and papyrus-fringed channels that make this part of Botswana unique. The stars of the show however, are the members of Abu's resident elephant herd. Interact with these gentle giants as you walk or ride with them and then spend time feeding, bathing or even swimming with them.
Elephants are reflected everywhere at the spectacularly stylish Abu Camp, from charming ornaments placed by the baths to carved elephants on the dinner tabe, but there's plenty of the real stuff out there too. Get close to the area's abundant wildlife on dawn or late afternoon game drives, a perfect way to maximise your photographic opportunities. A guided nature walk or silent mokoro (traditional dugout canoe) ride through the channels will bring the smaller delights of Africa to your attention.

Dreams communicate the needs of the soul as participants prayerfully seek God's guidance to live their lives. The rich spiritual discipline of understanding dreams and seeking to live in harmony with the messages they bring can enrich lives with comfort, challenge, and practical solutions to problems of daily life.
Before people die, they often have powerful dreams that connect them to the Divine. During the death process, loved ones also often have vibrant dreams related to their loved one's dying. This workshop explores the dream process as it relates to people making their transition from this world to the next.
This annual conference is for all (beginners as well as advanced) who want to recover the ancient Biblical tradition of listening for God's word for us in our nightly dreams. This conference is for professionals (especially clergy), counselors and therapists, lay dream-group leaders, and also for dreamwork beginners.Visit The Haden Institute for more details.

The Haden Institute in North Carolina offers a rich curriculum for people interested in dream work or spritual direction. Two intensive, certification programs are offered, as well as the annual summer conference on dreams.
NATURAL SPIRITUALITY moves Jungian dream work from the professional world of the analyst's office into the everyday world of the laity in the local church. The book offers serious Christians in every community an opportunity to embark on the spiritual path of individuation. With clarity and simplicity Joyce Hudson puts into her reader's hands the tools for inner work that Carl Jung offered to Christianity. She then goes beyond Jung to present original models of masculine and feminine wholeness. In illustrating the masculine model, she offers an analysis of the lives and music of the Beatles that is both insightful and entertaining. To illustrate the model of feminine wholeness, Hudson joins ranks with C.S. Lewis, Robert Johnson, Marie-Louise von Franz, and Erich Neumann in putting forth her own interpretation of the classical myth of Psyche and Eros. Finally, she offers detailed advice and helpful resources for instituting continuing programs for inner work in local churches. While maintaining deep respect for Church tradition, this highly readable work opens the door for an expanded and enlivened Christianity.Seven Basic Books for Building a Strong Foundation in Christian Dreamwork by Joyce Rockwood Hudson An Interview with Joyce Rockwood Hudson An Article by Joyce Rockwood Hudson

Take a look around, feel free to contact us with questions, and please check back often for updated information.
The purposes of NHADACA are to promote and encourage the organization of addiction professionals; to examine, endorse, and encourage competent and comprehensive programs for the education of addiction professionals and those working with people experiencing addiction; to advocate on behalf of alcohol and drug issues that impact those experiencing addictions; to provide education to NHADACA membership on public policy issues; to increase the competence and knowledge of individual members and the general public; to represent the appropriate role of addiction professionals at the local, state and national levels; to engage in such other related activities as may be desirable or required to fulfill the purposes and objectives of NHADACA; and to provide assistance to those NHADACA members who may be experiencing difficulties which interfere with their personal and/or professional well-being.
Dear NH Professionals,
The NH Alcohol & Drug Abuse Counselors Association is gravely concerned about the proposed changes to the regulations governing the confidentiality of alcohol & drug abuse patient records.
42 C.F.R. Part 2's core privacy protections MUST be maintained. While behavioral health care should be integrated with physical health care, and communication between health care providers should be encouraged, the regulations' protections are as necessary today as they were when they were issued in the 1970s in light of ongoing stigma and discrimination faced by people with substance use disorders.
42 C.F.R. Part 2 enables people with substance use disorders to seek treatment without fear of exposure of their treatment records—without their permission—to law enforcement, employers, insurers, other health care providers, or others. Changes to the regulations would threaten these critical patient protections.
We submit the letter below with our concerns.
Thank you,Dianne Pepin, MEd., MLADC

RE: Confidentiality of Alcohol & Drug Abuse Patient Records Regulations, 42 C.F.R. Part 2. 79 Fed. Reg. 26929; Docket No. 2014-10913.
To Whom It May Concern:
The NH Alcohol & Drug Abuse Counselors Association (NHADACA) is a non-profit membership organization of approximately 220 members. Since 1986, NHADACA has worked to advance the addiction profession in New Hampshire. We accomplish our mission through education and advocacy. By providing relevant, quality training on substance abuse treatment, intervention and prevention NHADACA has improved the skills of working addiction professionals and those preparing to enter the profession. NHADACA is an affiliate of NAADAC, the National Association of Addiction Professionals, a national leader in setting standards for the treatment and prevention of addictive disorders and for the training and qualifications of professionals.
While NHADACA supports updating the mechanics of the federal alcohol and drug confidentiality regulations to facilitate more effective integration of care and needed communication in the electronic age, 42 C.F.R. Part 2's core privacy protections MUST be maintained.
We provide ethics and confidentiality trainings for persons working within the substance abuse professions as well as other professions that have involvement with alcohol and drug-impacted or addicted persons. The frustration that some people experience when they cannot get the information they want immediately or without a release of information is minor in comparison to the security and protection the regulations afford alcohol and drug abuse patients. It is vital to keep these legal regulations in or to best assure clients that their privacy concerns are respected.
With regard to the modifications to 42 C.F.R. Part 2 proposed in SAMHSA's May 12, 2014 Notice of Public Listening Session (79 Fed. Reg. 26929), the NH Alcohol & Drug Abuse Counselors Association supports the following principles:
Thank you for your consideration.

The Great Donald Rumsfeld
The Washington Post has a reasonably good photo essay up of Don Rumsfeld's dedication to this nation. The troops admired this man and he respected and cared for them. The liberals never understood that bond, and were probably envious of his success. And now that the Democrats own Iraq (in the people's minds, they are here to bring us success), they will probably wish they had Rumsfeld around. The man took the largest Federal organization, with a lof of power centers more than able to defend against civilian plans for restructuring, and restructured it. He took on the Cold War conventional wisdom and turned the military into a much more nimble force, one with a large and lethal Special Forces contigent that has performed amazingly.
And Rumsfeld was a true hero of 9-11. Little notices by the jaded press, Rumsfeld, like Rudy Guilliani in New York City, ran to the site of the attack and started to help save people. He took control of the situation on the front line. The media did not play up Rumsfeld's role as they did Rudy's. Which is just anotherr reflection on a media that is totally dysfunctional. Donald Rumsfeld sparred with the media for 6 years and beat them up so bad by pointing out their truly idiotic premises and fantasies, that they had to take him down because they could not be seen inferior in their media. We did not see a lot of Rumsfeld press conferences – he was that devastating. But history will have the last laugh on the media. Rumsfeld's name is already historic, thanks to the media's craven efforts to take him down. But historians will go to the tapes, to the full conferences. And they will see the truth of the relationship. There is no contest. If given the choice, we could live without our dysfunctional media, but we needed Don Rumsfeld. He was the right man at the right time, and whether the left can muster the maturity to respect the man is simply their problem. Not our nation's problem. Thanks Mr. Rumsfeld, for all you did for this country. Unlike some, you worked to better it.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
PDE staff were on hand earlier today at the House Small Business Committee hearing on the impact of the current financial crisis on investment in small businesses and steps to expand equity investments. Our report of the hearing follows:
In today's hearing for the Small Business Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight, Chair Jason Altmire (D-PA) noted the pivotal role entrepreneurs played in the economic downturn of the mid-1990s, creating 3.8 million new jobs. The question Congress members posed to six witnesses at today's hearing was how to reverse the feeling of uncertainty and risk within the currentmarket.
Ideas like improving access to entrepreneurial education and instituting a nationwide tax credit to those investing in start-up companies were met with a positive response. However, it was capital gains taxes that yielded the most feedback.
John May, founder and managing partner of New Vantage Group, said he heard an overwhelming consensus at a recent conference for investors: institute low or no capital gains taxes.
"That's the key thing that we believe will keep angels investing in start-ups," May said. "There are so few of these people who are so wealthy that do this. They need to have as much capital in their hands (as possible) because they know what to do with it."
The fear is that the projected rise in capital gains taxes will send investors to countries like China and Hong Kong, where capital gains are not taxed, said Catherine Mott, founder and CEP of Blue Tree Capital Group.
Another policy suggestion, from Patrick Dalton, President and COO at Apollo Investment Corporation, involves supporting Business Development Companies.
"BDC loans are the lifeblood of Main St. businesses … supporting over 1.2 million U.S. jobs," Dalton said. "In 2007, we estimate that BDCs provided approximately 50 percent of all junior debt capital loans to the small and mid-sized businesses throughout the United States."
Dalton said the problem is BDCs fall under the same regulations and required asset tests as mutual funds, even though the two serve very different purposes: Mutual funds invest in liquid assets and are required to redeem shareholders at any time, while BDCs invest in illiquid loans to small and mid-sized companies, which they intend to hold to maturity. Under current regulations, the result is fewer loans to the small business community.
Altmire assured those who testified that their words would be taken into advisement in the subcommittee's future formulation of policy.

A car explosion killed an 11-year-old boy and injured 18 others in southeastern Turkey close to the border with Iraq and Iran, Itar-Tass reports citing the country`s PM Tayyip Erdogan. According to him the blast occurred near wedding celebrations. The area has been cordoned off and police have launched an operation to find the perpetrators. So far no organization has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Syrian opposition forces have seized a major oilfield in the country's east after three days of stand-off with government troops, says the London-based Observatory for Human Rights. The rebels allegedly captured the al-Ward oilfield in Deir el-Zour province, near the Iraqi border, on Sunday. The field is reported to have been functioning almost up to the time when the rebels overran it. The observatory also claims the rebels downed a warplane in the same region. Al-Ward is known as one of the most important oilfields in Deir el-Zour, which holds most of Syria's energy reserves.
The Fars news agency has reported that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has established a new naval base on the Strait of Hormuz, which carries around 35 per cent of the world's sea-traded crude oil to export markets. The base is located next to Iran's southern port city of Bandar Lengeh, about 1,100 km (700 miles) south of the capital Tehran. Iran has threatened to close the strait at the end of the Persian Gulf if it is attacked by outside forces. Most of Iran's lager naval bases are at the head of the Gulf some 450km away.
Recent allegations in media that Iran has suspended its 20 per cent uranium enrichment program are "untrue", semi-official FARS news agency quoted a member of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission as saying. "This claim is unrealistic because the 20 per cent enriched uranium is required for Tehran's [Research] Reactor and medical purposes," Kazzem Jalali said on Sunday. Iran has long been under international fire over its controversial nuclear program. The US, EU and Israel cite fears Tehran may be seeking to build nuclear weapons. Washington and Brussels have imposed economical sanctions on Iran's oil sector. Iran says nuclear development is its right and it wants to meet its own needs in energy and medical treatment.
A British soldier stationed on the island nation of Cyprus was stabbed to death during an altercation with a UK tourist in a nightclub in the resort of Ayia Napa. One of the three tourists involved in the dispute reportedly drew a knife and stabbed the 19-year-old soldier. The name of the dead soldier has not been released as his family has not been notified yet, but he is reported to have served with the 2nd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. Ayia Napa is a resort in the Republic of Cyprus, which is the Greek part of the island; its northern part is a self-declared state known as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The UK has two military bases on the island which used to be its colony.
Egypt's Interior Minister Ahmed Gamal ordered Sunday that the head of security for North Sinai, Ahmed Bakr, be replaced by his deputy in response to complaints by police of lawlessness in the area. His sacking comes a day after an attack that killed three policemen, which sparked outrage from their colleagues. The army and the police in North Sinai, which borders Israel, have become the target of militants operating in the region. In August 16 soldiers were killed in an attack on a border outpost.
Iran has developed an advanced unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of hovering in midair, several media sources in the Islamic Republic reported Sunday. The drone, reportedly capable of lifting off and landing vertically, is set to be unveiled in February. Iran regularly makes claims regarding breakthroughs in military technology which analysts say are impossible to verify independently.
At least one person was killed while the number of injured grew to 11 after a grenade was thrown on the roof of a church in Kenya's northeast Sunday, Reuters reported via Twitter. Police believe Al Shabaab militants or their sympathizers are behind the attack on the Utawala Inter-denominational Church in Garissa Town. Al Shabaab, who launched similar attacks in two churches in summer, killing at least 17 people, formally joined forces with Al-Qaeda earlier this year. The group controls much of southern Somalia and is fighting the weak UN-backed interim government and African Union peacekeepers.
An Iraqi court Sunday found the country's fugitive Sunni vice-president guilty of ordering his bodyguards to attack Shiite pilgrims and sentenced him to death. It is the third case in which Tariq Hashemi has been condemned to capital punishment since last spring when courts began trying him in absentia on terrorism charges. Hashemi has been living in exile in Turkey since he fled Iraq in 2011 when the Shiite-led government tabled accusations against him. Sunday the court also sentenced Hashemi's son, Ahmed Qahtan, to death on similar charges. The trial over Hashemi has been fueling resentment among Iraq's Sunni Muslim minority, since the fugitive VP is a longtime opponent of Prime Minister Nouri Maliki, a Shiite Muslim.

Syrian state TV reports of an explosion near Dama Rose hotel in Damascus. Several people have reportedly been injured. No information about casualties is available at the moment. The hotel Dama Rose is situated close to the residence of government-controlled labor union.
The Coptic Orthodox Church has officially chosen Bishop Tawdros to replace Pope Shenouda III, who passed away in March this year. In a lavish ceremony at the Abbasiya cathedral in Cairo, the 60-year-old bishop's name was picked by a blindfolded child from a glass bowl that also contained the names of two other candidates. The Copts are Egyptian Christians and constitute 10 per cent of Egypt's population. They have long complained of discrimination in Egypt. Many are hoping the new pope will ensure the voice of Christianity is heard in the region. Since President Hosni Mubarak was ousted, there have been several attacks on churches by radical Islamists.
Iran's government will summon President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for questioning over the country's crumbling currency. A report stating a petition had been signed by 77 lawmakers questioning the president's reluctance to help regulate the currency's value was behind the move. It will be the second time Ahmadinejad has had to explain himself to Iran's parliament. The Iranian rial has dropped significantly in value over the past year, with the drop increasing in the last month. Blame has been put on Western-led sanctions and the president's unwillingness to better manage the currency market as a result. On Saturday the rial traded at 31,000 to the dollar. It was around 11,000 per dollar in June this year.
A man has been arrested over allegedly posting "seditious" remarks on Facebook about Malaysia's Johor State royal family. Ahmad Abd Jalil was arrested under the Sedition Act, a bill that until recently the Malaysian government was planning to repeal. Each state's royal family is given limited powers in the federation of Malaysia. They are widely revered by the majority Malay Muslim population as the rulers are the heads of Islam in their respective areas. Police have told the man's family they may take Ahmad to the palace to beg the Sultan's pardon and could then drop the case, but that is highly unconstitutional. If found guilty, the 27-year-old quantity surveyor would be the third person in two years to have been convicted under the controversial law.
At least seven people, including police officers, were injured on Sunday after a grenade was thrown on the roof of the Utawala Inter-denominational Church in Garissa Town in the northeast of Kenya. Police believe the attack is the work of Al Shabaab militants or their sympathizers who launched similar attacks in two churches on July 1, killing at least 17 people. Al Shabab formally joined forced with Al-Qaeda earlier this year. The group controls much of southern Somalia and is fighting the weak UN-backed interim government and African Union peacekeepers.
A car stuffed with explosives and parked by a police station in Benghazi went off on Sunday. Because the blast occurred just before dawn the streets were empty and only three law enforcement officers have been reportedly lightly injured. The police station building has sustained considerable damage. The act of terror in Libya's second-largest city comes as the central government tries to curb countless militias that are tearing the country apart after the Libyan civil war.
A vessel carrying an unknown number of illegal immigrants capsized in the Mediterranean Sea on Saturday, killing three. The incident happened roughly 56km off Libyan shores and about 224km south of Italy's Lampedusa Island, according to Italy's leading wire service ANSA. Rescuers at the scene have managed to pull 70 survivors out of the water; however the rescue mission is still ongoing to assess whether there are any further survivors.
A police chopper has crashed on a busy intersection close to the center of Atlanta, killing both people on board. The helicopter went down at 10.30pm local time (02.30 GMT) around where two main highways intersect, say local police. An investigation is now underway to ascertain the cause of the crash.
A wave of violence targeting police in Sao Paulo has killed 10 people in the last 24 hours, bringing the death toll of people killed in the rising unrest to 20. The latest incident saw police gun down a suspected drug trafficker following his refusal to stop his car. Separately, six other people died in the suburban town of Sao Bernardo do Campo in a police shootout. In addition, more than 11 people were killed on Thursday night in various incidents across the city. Police stormed Sao Paulo's infamous Paraispolis slum on Monday after receiving reports that drug barons were planning to target police officers in imminent attacks.
European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso has called on the Myanmar government to end the ethnic strife between Rohingyas and Buddhists. The recent violence last week claimed the lives of at least 89 people. Barroso arrived in the capital city Yangon, where he participated in the opening ceremony of the Myanmar Peace Centre (MPC). The EC chief also vowed financial aid for immediate humanitarian needs and peace establishment, as he met the with national president, Thein Sein. Both sides vowed to cooperate closely in their joint efforts to build peace in Myanmar.
With more than 99 per cent of ballots counted in Ukraine's parliamentary elections, the ruling Party of Regions appears to have won, gaining 29.99 per cent of the vote, RIA Novosti reports citing Ukraine's central elections commission. It is followed by opposition party Batykivshina (Fatherland) led by jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, which took 25.53 percent. Former world boxing champion Vitaly Klichko's, Udar Party came third with 13.95 percent. The final result for the vote, with all ballots counted, will be announced by the central election commission on Monday, at 11:00 a.m. local time.

Ceremony and Reception: Historic Mankin Mansion
Coordination: R.D. Berrie Weddings
The Historic Mankin Mansion is an incredibly lovely wedding venue in Richmond. The staff is a dream to work with, the grounds are gorgeous, and everything was so professional and on time… really, I can't say enough about how great they are. Every time I shoot in Richmond, I always come away saying "man, they really do have the best venues around!" Fortunately I get to work in that wonderful city a few times every year. Ooooh, and check it out! Mankin Mansion chose this wedding as one of their favorites from 2010!
Holly coordinated her wedding, managing every detail perfectly. Everything was beautiful, exquisitely planned and executed. No surprise – Holly is a professional wedding consultant and planner!
The day was hot, almost as hot as the sweltering Outer Banks wedding of 2008. But nothing actually melted at Holly and Justin's wedding, so it was just regular-Richmond-hot.
I love the orange and green details, and how beautiful the table settings look. Didn't she do an amazing job?

fayetteville felon sentenced for firearm charge
NEW BERN - United States Attorney Thomas G. Walker announced that in federal court today United States District Judge Louise W. Flanagan sentenced ANTWAIN LAMAR DENNIS, 29, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, to 84 months imprisonment followed by three years supervised release.Â
A Federal Grand Jury returned a Criminal Indictment on August 3, 2011. On January 10, 2012, DENNIS pled guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon.
According to the investigation, on January 22, 2011, DENNIS arrived at the victim's residence and confronted the victim. After threatening to kill the victim, DENNIS pulled a gun out of his jacket pocket and fired at a window of the residence. Local law enforcement responded to the shooting. A box of .380 ammunition was found in DENNIS' pocket. Once the residence was secured, a search was conducted. In the bedroom closet officers retrieved a Lorcin, .380 caliber handgun.    Â
This case was part of the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) initiative which encourages federal, state, and local agencies to cooperate in a unified "team effort" against gun crime, targeting repeat offenders who continually plague their communities.
Investigation of this case was conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Fayetteville Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Jane J. Jackson prosecuted the case.

Mustang MonthlyHow To Wheels Tires
Classic Mustang Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation - How To: Install Four-Wheel Disc Brakes
Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation makes it easy to keep the Force 10 with you
Why Bench Bleeding
Many of us are guilty of installing a new master cylinder right out of the box. Did you know doing that runs the risk of having unwanted trapped air in the braking system? Air must be removed from the master cylinder prior to installation. All you have to do is locate the master cylinder in a bench vice, fill it with fluid, and slowly press the piston, as shown here. Watch the bubbles pass from the cylinder back into the reservoir. Once all air traffic is gone, the cylinder is bled and ready for installation, but install and secure the cap first.

Tomorrow morning – Friday 19th April – the report from the Commission on the Delivery of Rural Education is to be published, following a presentation at 10.00 at 1000-1100 hours at the Town House in Inverness.
The Scottish Government will be responding to it later in the morning.
The Commission was established in the summer of 2011, jointly by Education Secretary, Michael Russell MSP and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities [COSLA].
It's Chair, Sheriff David Sutherland, will present the findings of the group on how the delivery of education in rural Scotland could be improved.
During its work, the Commission was additionally charged with rewriting the 2010 Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act.
There is no mention of this in the advance notice of the publication of the report tomorrow – yet it was a substantial task.
This absence of mention may indicate a retreat of some kind to be passed over swiftly tomorrow – or a radical new legislative move by the Education Secretary.
This last possibility is not at all unlikely in the aftermath of the Education Secretary's defeat by Western Isles Council on issues central to this law, first at Judicial Review, under Lord Brailsford and then under Lady Paton at his own Appeal.
We have published on both of these lucid and powerful judicial opinions. What they had to say is likely to require an approach to the 2010 Schools Act beyond both the capability and the responsibilities with which the Commission had been tasked. We will learn the situation tomorrow.
The Scottish Government and COSLA will respond to the report later in the morning.
The Commission's report has been awaited with growing impatience and will be received widely with substantial and informed interest.

It is the week after ACL, and there is not much else that people are talking about, except for maybe the Longhorn's lamentable loss to OU. Â Actually no one wants to talk about that really, but whatever, OU still sucks! Â So, let's move on to one of the good things that did happen this weekend: ACL!!!
This was my first year going, and I had one of the best musical experiences of my life. Â Here is my recap of the most memorable moments of ACL 2012:
Discovering news bands- I had the opportunity to see some bands that I did not know or  had not really listened to; I was pleasantly surprised.  My favorite discoveries were probably Caveman and Los Campesinos!.  Other newcomers that were fan favorites included Ben Howard and Childish Gambino.
The rain- Â This was a good thing and bad thing. Â On Saturday, it made for a fresh and cloudy day. Â I was waiting to see The Shins when it started to pour. Â That did not get anyone down though. Â If anything it added to the magical, festival experience of the performances. Â Unfortunately, it made for nasty, pig-style smelling park and muddy shoes and bodies on Sunday.

Spotting celebs- Yes, there were some celebrity sightings happening at ACL this weekend! While I did not see Ryan Gosling (bummer), I did see Natalie Portman and Michael Fassbender.  They were filming for their new movie, an untitled project by Terrence Malick, during Iggy and The Stooges.  They were all over each other, so we can assume they are going to be a part of the love triangles rumored to be central to the plot of the movie.  In addition, Ryan Gosling and Rooney Mara were filmed as they performed with The Black Lips.

Food- While some of the munchies at ACL were lackluster and merely overpriced fast food, others were delicious and unique bites not typical at a large fest like this.  Favorites included Goodpop all-natural popsicles, Boomerang's savory pies and The Mighty Cone! chicken cones.
This cool frame!- This awesome man-sized picture frame was too cute! It was perfectly positioned for festival-goers to snap a pic with the park grounds and downtown Austin in the background.
Florence Welch- Ok, I'm not going to lie; I didn't actually see Florence + The Machine, except for the last song, "Dog Days Are Over." Â They were playing at the same time as Weezer, and I am sorry, but I had to go with a band from my childhood. Â Anyway, the one song I did see was amazing, and too many people that I know and trust could not stop talking about how awesome the entire show was. Â She was a crowd pleaser and got high marks for it.
 Crazy Iggy- Iggy Pop from Iggy and the Stooges is still going strong!  This guy got the crowd going, especially when he asked the crowd to bum rush the stage.  People jumped over fences and security to join him.  They danced with him, and he hugged them all after the song was done.  This guy is cool in my book!

Somebody That I Used to Know- This was hilarious because many people went to see Gotye only to see him perform "Somebody That I Used to Know," the hit single we all love, whether we admit it or not. Â They saved the song for the end, and Kimbra joined him on stage. Â Despite the number of drunk people singing along, it sounded pretty great.
RHCP- This was a great moment for me personally because Red Hot Chili Peppers are my all-time favorite band. Â They were the closing act of the festival. Â These guys took the night and played a lot of their hits such as "Under the Bridge" and "Snow," as well rare jams such as "Sir Psycho Sexy" and "They're Red Hot." Â I was surrounded by a mass of sweaty people, but my prime spot near the front allowed me to see some of the main action like Flea, the bassist, doing a handstand. Â It was the perfect ending to my ACL experience.
Photo Credit: facebook.com/aclfestival
Needless to say, this ACL was a success. Â I can't wait for the next one. Â For those of you who went, I hope you had a great time. Â Hope you get a chance to attend next year for what will now be a two-weekend extravaganza.

... or maybe the Patron Saint of Older Cars?
If you've been paying attention to this blog or to my afternoon show on KTTS, you know that I gave up on buying new cars in 1995. In fact, my Mom-mobile is that car, a 1995 Honday Odyssey. The next car I purchased in 2002 (or was it 2001?) was a 1991 Honda Civic wagon. The latest and newest at our house is the little 2001 Toyota Corolla I helped my oldest son find this past year. All told, we have some really 'collectable' automobiles!
For a mom, it can be nerve-wracking just knowing that my boys are out there driving those older vehicles and I really worry when they are driving long distances. Well, Arch had to drive five hours to come home the Saturday before Christmas. I had stewed and prayed and was on pins and needles all day. I am constantly after him to be careful and to keep a close eye on fluid levels and tires before taking off. Some of the area he travels through has no cell reception, either. AND, it was raining that day with flood warnings in his area. See, I had plenty to keep me tied in knots.
Well, he made it home safely, no problems and mom was once again called crazy! (I am happy to be crazy as long as they are safe). Anyway, that car sat in my driveway for a day, then was shuffled into the garage the next day and wasn't actually driven... until Monday night. The three of us pile into Arch's car to go to a friend's house and IT WON'T START!!! Nothing, nada, ain't movin'. We ended up having it towed to the repair shop to get fixed.
Silly, huh? It would be really funny if it weren't the THIRD time I've had a car simply break down IN MY GARAGE! And a 4th time, my car broke down a mile from home... in a Kum n Go parking lot! Coincidence? I don't think so... we'll just call her Maxine, Guardian Angel of Old Cars. As for me, I love her!

THEY'RE COMING!!January 17th, 2008 | by TJ |
So I was leaving my house this morning, and I heard a rustling sound in the bushes next to the gate. I glanced over really quickly, but saw nothing.
So I started trudging down the sidewalk to my car, and over the sound of my dragging feet, I kept hearing this scuttling noise, but every time I looked over my shoulder – nothing.
Got in my car, headed down the road. I was at a stoplight, and, as usual, the street light above my head at this intersection went out just as I pulled under it. I think they're on timers and stuff, but why does my commute always seem to be timed with their timers? I suspect this. So do my parents, actually. When I moved out, their my dad told me that they stopped going through so many lightbulbs. They tend to burn out when I turn things on. Anyway, whatever, but as I glanced over at the light, I swear I saw a fuzzy little arm sticking out from behind the pole.
I puzzled for a second, but then the light turned green, so off I went. I leave my house at 6:30 in the morning, otherwise known as "Still Dark Enough to be Sleeping" o'clock, and every time I glanced over at the median, I swear I saw something small running along there, keeping pace with my car. But that's impossible, right? I wrote it off to reflections on the window from headlights and such.
I got to work and was gathering all my belongings to go inside (and as an aside, I did the same thing I do every day – carefully jam everything in my purse that I need, forget that I left my access card in the bottom of my purse, take everything back out, retrieve the card, put everything back in, and always forget something) and as I was doing this, movement outside the car caught my eye and I was immediately frozen in a panic.
It couldn't be, there was just no way.
I took a shower before I left the house! A morning shower!
But just as I was twisting my head from side to side, peering out the windows, a piece of my wet hair slipped into my face and it all became clear.
Do you know what my new shampoo lump smells like?
I waited for the right moment, swung open the car door and took off like a shot for the building.
I got inside just in time, slamming the door (do you know how hard it is to slam one of those slow-closing doors?) right in the face of what I think was the boss of the rabid attack koalas, judging by his decorated little scabbard and jaunty little hat.
But seriously, guys.
CLOSE one!!
