Latest Bus Improvements Begin Sunday
Starting this Sunday, previously announced bus improvements will begin for some NYC Transit routes. Here is some reminder info:
MTA New York City Transit and MTA Bus Company will improve bus service throughout New York City by adding and extending service on multiple bus routes beginning Sunday, June 29. These changes will restore routes and improve connections throughout the MTA's surface transportation network, making travel easier for more than 2.5 million daily bus riders. These changes include restoring some services that were reduced or eliminated during 2010's budget cuts, as well as new expansions to better serve customers and neighborhoods across the city.
As part of the 2013 Service Investments, both new and improved service will be implemented along three routes serving customers in Brooklyn.
B8 service will operate between the Brooklyn Veterans Administration Hospital and the Bay Ridge-95 St R station at all times.
B37 service will run along 3rd Avenue between Bay Ridge and Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center Station.
B70 service will be rerouted between 92nd Street / 7th Avenue and Bay Ridge Avenue / 8th Avenue.
In response to community requests for a one-seat ride throughout Co-op City, the Bx23 route is being adjusted to provide one-bus service to all five sections of Co-op City, at all times. This change discontinues the current weekday peak period shuttle trips. Bx23 customers will now have direct bus service between the Pelham Bay Park 6 Station and all five sections of Co-op City, seven days a week. This change is one of the recommendations of a study of bus service and performance in Co-op City prepared by MTA Bus and NYCT.
As part of our on-going efforts to make bus service more accessible to customers in Co-Op City, the Bx28 will be rerouted to use the Asch Loop around Bartow Mall. Overnight Bx28 service will not change.
The Q19 will be extended west from its current western terminus on Astoria Boulevard at 21st Street to the East River waterfront on 27th Avenue at 2nd Street. This change offers service along the full length of Astoria Boulevard, improving transit access between eastern and western Queens, and provides additional transit options to the growing areas of western Astoria.
To provide faster, more reliable service, the Q102 in Astoria will be adjusted to remain on 30th Avenue between Crescent Street and 8th Street. The bus stops on Crescent Street, Newtown Avenue and Astoria Blvd will be relocated to 30 Avenue. All bus stops along Astoria Blvd will be served by the Q19 instead, with connections to the NQ at the Astoria-Ditmars Blvd subway station.
A bus stop will be added on Co-op City Boulevard at Dreiser Loop to improve customer access to this busy section of Co-op City. This change is one of the recommendations of a study of bus service and performance in Co-op City prepared by MTA Bus and NYCT.
To meet the requirements of a rapidly growing area with lots of residential construction, Q103 service will now operate on Saturdays and Sundays, and operate later on weekday evenings. Service currently operates weekday daytimes and early evenings only. With this change we are able to respond to requests for increased transit service in the growing areas of western Queens along the waterfront including Hunters Point, the Noguchi Museum, and Socrates Sculpture Park. The Q103 connects to the Vernon Boulevard-Jackson Avenue 7 train station and the 21St-Queensbridge F train station.
As part of the 2013 Service Investments, the M100 will be rerouted in Inwood via Dyckman Street and 10th Avenue. This reroute will serve the Dyckman Street commercial corridor as well as residences and schools along 10th Avenue.

Metro-North Schedule Changes Begin July 7
Metro-North riders should note that schedule changes begin on July 7th. Here is a little info:
Metro-North will make adjustments to its New Haven and Harlem Line service on Monday, July 7, after closely monitoring performance, taking customer counts and listening to customer suggestions following the implementation of the May 11 schedule change.
These changes are intended to improve the customer experience by reducing crowding and enhancing connections.
Adjustments on the New Haven Line include:
In the AM Peak:
The 6:50 AM all-stops local from Stamford to Grand Central Terminal will depart Stamford six minutes later, at 6:56 AM. This change will restore a connection with the 5:48 AM train from New Haven, which arrives at Stamford at 6:52 AM. Customer will save up to 28 minutes of travel time as a result of this connection.
To accommodate this change and prevent train congestion in the segment of our territory between Woodlawn and Grand Central Terminal, the following adjustments will be made:
• The 6:55 AM semi-express from Stamford will operate five minutes earlier, departing at 6:50 AM.
• The 7:29 AM from New Rochelle will operate seven minutes earlier, departing at 7:22 AM.
• The 7:28 AM from Harrison will operate three minutes later, departing at 7:31 AM, but the arrival time of this train at Grand Central will not change.
Also, to relieve crowding, the 6:20 AM train from New Haven to Grand Central will add stops at Old Greenwich, Riverside and Cos Cob, but will no longer stop at Port Chester and Rye stations.
To accommodate customers at these stations, a new train will depart Greenwich at 7:33 AM, making stops at Port Chester and Rye before running express to Harlem-125th Street and Grand Central.
In the PM Peak:
The 6:35 PM train from Grand Central to New Haven will depart four minutes earlier, at 6:31 PM. This change is being made in response to a crowding issue on this train.
On the Danbury Branch: The Connecticut Department of Transportation, its signal contractor, and Metro-North will wrap up remediation work on the branch's grade crossing systems by July 7. As a result, off-peak and weekend train service, which has been replaced by bus service since earlier this year, will resume.
To accomplish the June 9 Waterbury Branch change that extended the first Waterbury train (the 5:46 AM) from Bridgeport to Stamford, the first outbound train from South Norwalk to Danbury will depart South Norwalk 10 minutes later when full train service resumes on July 7, but will arrive in Danbury at the same time.
Adjustments on the Harlem Line include:
• The 6:46 AM from Goldens Bridge to Grand Central will depart from White Plains station two minutes earlier at 7:16 AM.
• The 7:11 AM local from North White Plains to Grand Central will operate six minutes later.
• The 7:34 AM express from North White Plains to Grand Central will operate one minute later and arrive in Grand Central two minutes later.
Minor changes (affecting four arrival times in Manhattan by less than five minutes after 10:30 PM) will be implemented as necessary to support late-night capital improvement projects.
In addition to these schedule adjustments, we have added cars to a number of trains to relieve crowding identified following the May 11 schedule change.
Metro-North will continue to listen to customer suggestions and closely monitor ridership and service, and will use the findings when developing the fall schedule change.

From Milwaukee, Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Rent-A-Center spokesman calls Grothman comments elitist
Madison -- A spokesman for Rent-A-Center issued a statement Monday saying Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) had expressed elitist sentiments in his arguments against allowing rent-to-own stores to expand in Wisconsin.
The statement from Rent-A-Center spokesman Xavier Dominicis came a week after Grothman said he believed rent-to-own stores take advantage of people -- and just days before Grothman makes an attempt in committee to try to stop the stores' expansion in Wisconsin.
"Senator Grothman's suggestion that Rent-A-Center customers lack the intelligence necessary to make informed decisions is as elitist as it is condescending," his statement said. "Nobody knows the value of a dollar like someone who counts his pennies. It bears mentioning that a customer may terminate a rent-to-own agreement at any time. Should a customer take the agreement home, scrutinize it, and change his mind; he simply returns the item and terminates the agreement without further obligation."
Asked for a response, Grothman criticized Rent-A-Center in a text message.
"It's a rip off joint," Grothman wrote. "People should expect the same protections as best buy. There's a reason they sometimes don't put their prices in their ads."
The budget-writing Joint Finance Committee is to take up Gov. Scott Walker's rent-to-own plan on Thursday. Grothman has said he would try to remove it, but he did not know if enough members of his party would support him. Republicans control the committee 12-4.

Promethean Forerunner's Activity
Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Cringe worthy articleWorse than MKG? I severely, severely doubt that.
But I guess we'll find out in 2-3 years. His jumper looks better than what people are proclaiming on here (his first practice with The Heat went phenomenally) his two-step is Harden-esque, and his release is insanely quick.
I doubt Winslow will have to reconstruct his shot.
Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Rocky spinoff film: CreedIt looks promising but Southpaw looks a tad better.
Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Dog Experts I need your help!!!!I appreciate the kind words, good sir!
Believe it or not, my dog is the same way, man. She loves to scent mark all the fugging time too. I have to literally walk her around the block for her to finally poo. It's the only way for her to run out of pee. Try that lol
Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Pretend this bar opens up in your city. Would you go to it?Kinda. I guess I dig the idea of trying each bar's signature dishes but so long as the food from the surrounding area is of the higher quality, it's fine. I mean, that's the only negative I could think of anyways.
PhillyB would have to hose me out.
Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Pretend this bar opens up in your city. Would you go to it?I'd go.
The only thing that turns me off is the menu or lack thereof. Other than that, the bar is a viable and refreshing option. I like it.
Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Dog Experts I need your help!!!!Naw, she's a big dog (around 75 lbs). Most of that weight is around her chest and neck area though.
You're kidding, right? Lol...
Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Anyone see this on Instagram?I've learned to stop obsessing over stuff like this. The Panthers are the red-haired stepchild of the NFCS. And I'm okay with that. Our boys tend to play at a different level when they're overlooked or disrespected. I think they thrive with the Us-vs-The-World mentality.
Cam is a genetic freak and Luke is a Top 3 overall defensive player.
I don't need an article from NFL.com or ESPN or PFF to tell me that. So, I'm cool. Let them troll I say.
Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Dog Experts I need your help!!!!It's hard to tell. I adopted her when she was 1-2 years old and I've had her for about 6-7 years, so I assume she's around 8-9 years old. She's probably now considered 'elderly' or middle-aged (I think Australian Ridgebacks have a 12-14 year lifespan).
That's what I'm assuming. She must have gotten excited about something while I was gone and she hurt herself in the process. It sucks. I have to accept that she's getting older even though she still loves to play like a puppy.
Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Dog Experts I need your help!!!!Thanks so much!
I've eliminated stomach issues. She's eating and drinking, and she's not vomiting or has diarrhea. So I'm breathing a bit better now. She's also walking better now too. It has to be her neck or back.
Thanks again!
Promethean Forerunner added a topic in The LoungeDog Experts I need your help!!!!Okay, I just got home from work and my dog is acting quite strange. When I left her this morning, she was absolutely normal but seven hours later she appears to be in pain. She doesn't want to jump up on the bed, walk much around the house or even eat. I also touched one of her front legs and she yelped. She seems to be moving gingerly and appears to only stay in the shape of C. However, when I took her outside, she started walking faster, sniffing, in the shape of an I, drank water when I brought her back inside, etc (normal stuff).
I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow but any advice? Have any of you seen this type of behavior?

Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Coming to terms with the Frank Kaminsky pick...It's starting to make sense. Not with most Hornet fans but I can see the direction MJ and Cho want to go in. Everything rides on Frank developing into that guy. To me, it's a very solid line up. Kemba (ball movement), MKG (defense, rebounding) and Kaminsky (scoring, distribution). If it all goes according to plan, that's a nice trio for the future. It's not sexy or flashy but it's good enough to win games. Of course, if you guys do manage to land Curry, perceptions will change.
Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Coming to terms with the Frank Kaminsky pick...It's rather interesting. I can see why MJ preferred Kaminsky over Winslow. The Hornets desperately needed a scorer and Justise isn't that. However, it's a very risky move because Winslow's shot is already there. As the article alluded, at age 19 Winslow is further along than Kidd-Gilchrist when it comes down to his mechanics and form. He doesn't need an overhaul like MKG did. So the potential is there for Winslow to be a 20/10 guy but he's got work to do. In Miami, he'll be surrounded by experienced and top level coaches. It'll all be up to him.
Everything hinges on Kaminsky adapting to the NBA. If he can cope with the speed and physicality from defenders, then he should be fine but I sense he'll struggle mightily, especially his first two seasons.
Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Coming to terms with the Frank Kaminsky pick...I still think had you guys drafted Winslow, MJ wouldn't have traded Kidd-Gilchrist away. Justise is a hybrid player, so he could play the SG and SF roles. Three years of investment, MKG has repaid The Hornets with being a Top 10 defender. You don't trade someone like that unless you change your identity and scheme.
Cho and MJ just have to hope Frank develops into Dirk-lite because he will be replacing Big Al. Adding Monroe would help tremendously though. That said, I'd save every penny for Curry (similar to what The Heat are currently doing for Durant). Golden State isn't gonna let him go without a fight.
Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Coming to terms with the Frank Kaminsky pick...I must have been looking at his 2014 stats.
I'm only echoing what you guys say on here. The status quo apparently is MKG is what you guys had hoped for on the defensive side but not offensively. As the second overall pick, he's everything you need as a squad that values defense (similar to Indiana) over offense. He's a fine fourth or fifth option in my opinion. However, the odds of him being as effective and impactful as Butler or Green or Leonard on the other side are slim. So long as Charlotte values defense, MKG will be a staple and a valuable piece.
To be honest, I don't know what to make out of the Hornet fanbase. You guys seem to be happy with his defensive contributions but the moment he has a poor showing on offense (which is gonna happen a lot), you guys want him traded. Yet, these fans are aware that MKG is not a good second or third option.
Promethean Forerunner added a post in a topic Coming to terms with the Frank Kaminsky pick...Scouts have highlighted that as a negative. Professional ball isn't the same. The athleticism he'll be facing is much different. Wisconsin fans agree with the nickname for two reasons:
- Because of his shooting prowess
- Because he's stiff and slow.
And yet he's shown regression. Didn't his stats take a significant dip last season? I mean, if he's improved on his shooting that much then why isn't he involved on the offensive side more?
Judging by the MKG criticism on this site, well over half the The Huddle shouldn't be talking about Basketball then. I don't remember who exactly made this quote on here (paraphrased) but it sums up MKG:
"The only impact MKG will ever have on our offense if we're lucky is two jumpers, and a couple tip-ins, dunks and free throws a game."
MKG is a premier defender but his offense will always be limited. I mean, this is coming from a fanbase that labeled him a massive disappointment and is ready to say goodbye to him in an instant (just as recent as draft night).

Taylor Swift Takes a Walk With Harry Styles, Fights the Urge to Kidnap a Baby [PHOTOS]
Taylor Swift is going public with her One Direction paramour, Harry Styles.
Really public.
Taylor Swift is going public with her One Direction paramour, Harry Styles.
Really public.
It looks like "Haylor" is getting serious. One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles is reportedly getting so cozy with Taylor Swift that he's ready to take her to meet his folks!
Everyone has their weaknesses. Superman has kryptonite, Taylor Swift has bad boys. (And maybe Kanye West, but that's a whole other story.)
Taylor Swift is never, ever, ever getting back together with her ex and now we know why -- in detail. In a new interview, the 'Red' singer talks about her super "cool" former flame, and how his taste in music heightened her insecurities.
Are you guys ready for Black Friday 2012? Although Black Friday is usually about landing huge deals on big products like computers, televisions and other electronics, there are still some great music-related Black Friday deals for 2012.
The stars swarmed the red carpet for pictures at the 2012 American Music Awards (AMAs) tonight (Nov. 18). There were plenty of hits and misses as our favorite pop acts donned their Sunday best. Actually, it felt like more acts were dressing down for one of music's biggest events.
Taylor Swift has a dating history that can read as a Rolodex of Hollywood's most eligible men (perhaps John Mayer notwithstanding -- gross). But there's one other guy not many people know she dated. Who is he?
As Heidi Klum descended from the ceiling at the 2012 Europe Music Awards, she announced Lana Del Rey as the first award presenter of the night.
The 2012 MTV EMAs took place tonight (Nov. 11) in Frankfurt, Germany, with pop music's A-list, like Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Carly Rae Jepsen and more, coming out to walk the red carpet, to accept awards and to perform. The EMAs are essentially the European equivalent of the VMAs, only with more European artists and scenesters, like Pixie Geldof, in attendance.
The people have spoken -- the ones who run Glamour, anyway -- and the verdict is in: Selena Gomez is our woman of the year. And while the rest of us continue to stare at her photo spread for the issue announcing her coronation, Gomez's famous pals Ryan Seacrest and Taylor Swift have some encouraging words regarding her upcoming womanly reign.
Taylor Swift is a natural stunner, but that doesn't mean her looks are always on-target. In this week's Style Breakdown, we assess what she's doing right -- and where she's drifted horribly off-course.
Taylor Swift loves to bake. She lurves it. No, like, seriously. It's passion of hers, next to writing songs about her exes. She also loves to make actual entrees. She shared what tickles her palette and what's in her pantry and her fridge. If the music career ever goes on the fritz, which we doubt, since 'Red' is on pace to sell like a gazillion records, she can easily host her own cooking show.

Timothy Spall has been graced by nature with a face at once morose and discontented, although when he smiles, it is like the first day of spring. In "Pierrepoint, the Last Hangman," he plays Albert Pierrepoint, the last official chief hangman for the United Kingdom, credited with at least 435 executions. He kept a meticulous journal, with neatly ruled columns for name, date, place, length of rope and total time required. He was an exemplary civil servant, the best at his trade, and when the right man was required to hang more than 200 Nazi war criminals, Field Marshall Montgomery personally asked him to perform the task.
By the nature of his job, a hangman remains anonymous, and Pierrepoint preferred it that way. His everyday job was delivering provisions for a grocery wholesaler, and when an execution came along, he traveled to the prison by train, spent the night, and was given his expenses and a hot meal in addition to his fee of about $8. Pierrepoint was the third member of his family to work as a hangman and took pride in his system of calculating the exact length of rope to use on each condemned prisoner. By measuring their height and weight and estimating their neck muscles by their occupations, he aimed to kill them instantly by breaking the spine between and second and third vertebrae. He was thus spared the embarrassment of a client still alive and strangling, or a dead one with his head snapped off.
Adrian Shergold's film of Pierrepoint's life paints a portrait of respectable working-class mediocrity with a secret at its center; Mike Leigh's "Vera Drake" (2004) was a similar, if more nuanced, portrait of a quiet housewife who was an abortionist. While still a grocery drayman, Pierrepoint, already past 30, shyly proposes marriage to possibly the first girl to go out with him to the cinema. Annie (Juliet Stevenson) continues to work in a tobacconist's and keeps a comfy little home for him, all teapots and footrests, china Scottie dogs, evenings around the wireless, and for dinner, "your favorite -- pork chop."
The movie is unflinching in watching Pierrepoint at work. He always follows the same routine, designed as a time-and-motion study to escort the prisoner from his cell to his doom with no time to realize what is happening. He handcuffs the client, says "follow me, sir," leads the way across the corridor and leaves the prisoner standing on the trap without quite realizing it. A white hood is whipped from Pierrepoint's jacket pocket, put over the client's head, followed by the noose, and a lever is pulled. Albert's father's average was 13.5 seconds per execution. Albert dispatches one client in less than eight.
He is a man of principle. He believes the condemned have been judged, sentenced to pay their debt, and when they are dead, have paid it. He bathes and prepares their corpses with care and respect, and is outraged when a prison comes up one coffin short. His man has paid his dues and deserves proper handling, he shouts, as angry as we see him. Often after work, he'll stop at the pub (which eventually becomes his) and join his pal Tish (Eddie Marsan) in a vaudeville song. One night, Tish proudly turns up with a hot date, falls in love with her, is jilted and performs a quavering solo of "Jealous Love."
Spoiler warning: After an especially hard day, Albert comes home and the solicitous Annie suggests he have a drink with his mates. "I don't have any mates," he says. It is true. He hardly knows anyone at the pub and doesn't even know Tish's real name, which is why it is a shock when he discovers he is expected to hang him. One review of the film calls this development "a contrived subplot," but Wikipedia reports that Tish really did strangle his unfaithful lover on an evening when he and Albert sang "Danny Boy" at the pub, and Albert really did hang Tish. All that seems contrived is that the hangman would not have heard about the murder and anticipated the result.
Pierrepoint boasted of sleeping soundly after each execution. His tunnel vision permitted no doubt; his was a difficult job, but necessary and worth doing correctly, with full respect for each client. Only after he arrived in Germany and had to dispatch 13 Nazis on his first day did he begin to weaken. It was too much like an assembly line. And when he returned home, the national tabloids outed him and he was cheered in the streets as a hero, then later targeted by opponents of the death penalty. "It isn't right," he said to Annie, who was a little tickled to have photographers on her doorstep.
He eventually retired, moved to the seaside with Annie, continued as a celebrity, and wrote his memoirs, in which, Wiki says, he concluded: "Executions solve nothing, and are only an antiquated relic of a primitive desire for revenge which takes the easy way and hands over the responsibility for revenge to other people. The trouble with the death penalty has always been that nobody wanted it for everybody, but everybody differed about who should get off." This realization came a little late for his 435 or more clients, but at least he gave them the very best service.
The key to the film is in the performances by Spall and Stevenson -- and by Marsan. The utter averageness of the characters, their lack of insight, their normality, contrasts with the subject matter in an unsettling way.
What is most intriguing about the film is that while it is not in favor of capitol punishment, it doesn't make Pierrepoint into an evil or deranged man, just a dutiful workman. Every year, dozens of civil servants are honored on the Queen's List, but Pierrepoint, whose service to the crown was more essential than many door-holders and pen-pushers, labored on year after year in the shadows, insisting on his hot meal.

On March 10, 2014, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) published final Treasury regulations (Employer mandate - Section 4980H) for two separate information reporting requirements added to the Internal Revenue Code by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended (PPACA or ACA). Other sections of the code that come into play throughout the administration of IRC ₴6056 and IRC ₴6055 that specifically addressed the employer reporting. The act also included the requirements for employees. This section was referred to as the Individual mandate – IRC section 5000A and Premium Tax Credits IRC section 36B.
July 24, 2014 the IRS published draft forms to address reporting. The IRS finalized these forms on February 4, 2015. Final versions of forms 1094-C and 1095-C with instructions were published on the IRS Forms and Publications website for 2014. Forms and Instructions for 2015 are still to be published by the IRS along with the electronic filing requirements for 2015.
Form 1094-C and Instructions
Form 1095-C and Instructions
IRC₴ 6056 Applicable Large Employers (ALE) with at least 50 full-time employees (& FTE) are required to report to the IRS information about minimal essential healthcare coverage, if any, they offered to full-time employees (30 hours or more) in order to administer the employer share responsibility provisions of section 4980H. These employers must also furnish form 1095-C statements (Parts I & III) to employees offered benefit coverage for use when filing their 2015 Form 1040. Employers also file a copy of these forms 1095-C with the IRS.
IRC₴ 6055 addresses health insurance insurers, self-insured employers and others that provide minimal essential healthcare coverage to individuals. Self-insured benefit customers also follow these provisions. These Employers also file forms 1095-C but additionally provide information in Part III of the form on who is covered under the plan and period(s) of coverage. These employers must also furnish form 1095-C statements to employees offered benefit coverage for use when filing their 2015 Form 1040. Employers also file a copy of these forms 1095-C with the IRS.
The Benefit Offer reporting is done annually, following calendar year cycle just like Payroll does for W2 Processing. ACA has therefore, created a new Benefit Year End process that will be the responsibility of your Benefits team. Reporting of the Benefit Offer 1095-C forms was optional for Tax Year (TY) 2014. Infor did not support this reporting.
Speak with your legal counsel to determine which provision(s) apply to your situation. Infor's software provides functionality to support these regulations but in no way should Infor's software or information published about our software updates to support compliance be construed as tax advice.

"'Oh Father who hath been followed - In your presence I am truly hollowed - all or nothing, everything or none, perhaps your work is done - although I doubt some, you may not have existed but temptation is seldom resisted, heaven and hell exist on Earth not through the birth, where blind faith does stem you will learn again - open the eyes and in time you shall see, deceit and lies have blackened our skies and the existence to be is all that shall remain - in time we shall refrain"
"Once a glorious place, filled with the splendor of God's wonder; it was given to us to embrace. We went on to destroy it, and now our great world is on the verge; of total annihilation."
"We never "become one with God" as the metaphysicians or religionists claim. What actually happens is that we become one with Spirit, the essence of God."
"We can say that the Flute of God is actually that great sound current which soul rides upon in its journey to Its true home."

Photos: New York Yankees vs Detroit Tigers on Thursday, October 6, 2011
Posted by mleyba on 2011-10-06 21:52:58 tags: Photo
NEW YORK (AP)– One by one, almost all the big-money boppers had their chance. Alex Rodriguez, Robinson Cano, Nick Swisher.
Bases loaded, two runners on — the New York Yankees never came up with that clutch hit Thursday night, and suddenly their season is over.
No parade up Broadway, no sparkling World Series ring to go with the 27 others. No fairy-tale ending for Jorge Posada.
Just a long, cold winter to look back and wonder why one of baseball's best lineups whiffed when it mattered most.
Doug Fister and three relievers stopped the Yankees in their tracks, pitching their way out of several pressure-packed jams and sending the Detroit Tigers into the AL championship series with a 3-2 victory in Game 5.

By Audi Lover <3 on Sunday, August 11, 2013
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 151,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "The car is well above the average vehicle"
Cons: "It costs to drive the best."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I have had the car almost a year now, I have changed the brakes & oil,it was not very expensive the oil change was $80,as the car take only a full synthetic it tends to run a little higher than conventional motor oil, and the brakes, labor,& lifetime warranty cost me $100. I'm very satisfied with the interior, it has all leather which is great for easy clean up.Heated seats are great in the winter! A Bose stereo system with a 5 disc changer. Beautiful woodgrain! A huge trunk, a very roomy car over all. The car is so smooth and quiet you can barely hear it running. It handles like a dream, it hugs curves at high speeds and has never slid in the rain or ice. This car is highly recommended!I love it!"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I love this car. It has 219,000 miles on it and feels like it will go for ever. Even with the very high miles, I am never afraid to take it on a long road trip and push it to high speeds on the highway. The all wheel drive is amazing. I am not afraid to take it through the mud or snow. I drive have taken it down dirt roads in the winter with a foot of snow on them and outperformed 4WD SUV's."

overall rating 6 of 10rating details
"Got the A6 4.2L used in excellent condition at 70K: in a nutshell, the A6 4.2L is a monster on the road. I've driven my share of cars, and this is truly a fun one, especially if you get all the bells and whistles. The handling is exquisite, very tight on the turns and sticks to the road like glue, the 4.2L engine makes you giggle a little inside when you put the pedal to the metal. And it is very, very reliable on the snow (I recommend dedicated snow tires, which make a world of a difference). Drawbacks: when something goes wrong, it's going to cost you. And things do go wrong - I've had her in the shop at least 4 times this past year, for medium to major issues. I left a local mechanic who was able to do everything for cheap, but now that I don't have him...switching the battery last month with a quick diagnostic for slow engine start was $250, so do the math. Luckily, it overheated while under warranty, so switching the timing belt/water pump at 80K was covered - if not, it would have been a cool $1500, at least. Even oil changes are not simple - the 4.2L uses special filters, which cost at least 7-8x the average oil/gas filter... Another very significant drawback has been my experience with Audi dealerships - the most recent one has been fine at a location in Cleveland OH, but previous exposures were absolutely terrible (Rochester, NY) in the service department."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 126,000overall rating 8 of 10rating details
Pros: "Fun to drive, smooth ride, comfortable, stylish"
Cons: "Poor Gas mileage, expensive maintenance"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7
"I love this car. It has been so good to me the dynamic all wheel drive has kept me on the road when I know similar two wheel drive cars would not have had a chance. You can take corners more quickly and get to and from work when the roads seem impassable. This car has treated me well the only negative thing is that the maintenance costs are high. Parts and labor are expensive. Mostly the labor though to be honest if you are handy and can learn how to fix your car yourself you can save a lot of money. The complexity of an Audi lends them to be hard to fix but if you know your car you can save yourself the woes of overspending on something at the treacherous Audi dealer or mechanics shop. Overall the best car I have driven, amazingly comfortable and smooth ride, my parents always comment on how the ride makes them sleepy because they are so comfortable. Normal wear and tear items are expensive and do add up. I have owned the car for 2.5 years and have put about 3500 into the car. Which is a pretty hefty some of money. Overall I would say that there are more cost efficient ways to get around but if you can splurge driving an Audi is a good way to do it."

"I drove it all over the United States for 4 years. I must say that with the V8 engine, the car is an absolute beast. The cabin is well appointed and quite comfortable and it has excellent road manners. The full time AWD Quattro makes the car feel like its on rails and inspires confidence when driving. It always started right up and was very reliable for me. The car is now 11 years old and I am selling it for another Audi that is more fuel efficient."

My Morning Jacket's Jim James to Release George Harrison Tribute EP

My Morning Jacket aren't doing much at the moment, but angelic-voiced frontman Jim James isn't using that band's downtime to sit around combing his gigantic beard. This fall, James will be on his grind.
We already reported that the long-awaited self-titled album from Monsters of Folk, James's supergroup with Conor Oberst, M. Ward, and Mike Mogis, is due September 22 from Shangri-La in North America, Rough Trade in Europe, Spunk in Australia, and P-Vine in Japan. But before that album even drops, we'll hear even more new music from James.
On August 4, ATO will release Tribute To, James' EP of George Harrison covers, Billboard reports. Under the goofily adorable pseudonym Yim Yames, James takes on six of the late Beatle's songs. Two songs from Tribute To are Beatles jams that Harrison wrote, while the others come from the solo Harrison album All Things Must Pass.
According to Billboard, James recorded the EP a few days after Harrison died in 2001; it's been sitting in the vault since then. James did the whole thing himself, on vocals and acoustic guitar. In the liner notes, James calls Harrison "a prime example of the healing power of music." The Tribute To tracklist is below.
Also, Billboard claims that Monsters of Folk are "expected to" tour in September.
UPDATE: Hear Yim Yames' version of "Behind That Locked Door" here. Also, a portion of the proceeds from sales of Tribute To will go to the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary.

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
Despite the deteriorating security situation along the Egyptian-Israeli border, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has rejected Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi's request to reconsider the terms of the 1979 Camp David Accords. Morsi wants a substantial increase in the number of Egyptian tanks and armored divisions to patrol what has seemingly become the lawless Sinai Peninsula.
"It is important for the Egyptians to get a handle on their security troubles, but there isn't a chance that Israel will change the [Camp David] military protocols. The Egyptians should not delude themselves by repeatedly insisting on this request," Lieberman told Kol Yisrael Radio.
News outlets in Israel and the U.S. have reported that Morsi intends to press White House officials to renegotiate aspects of the Camp David Accords during this week's UN General Assembly meetings in New York. Morsi also reportedly sought a face-to-face meeting with President Obama during his U.S. trip, but was rebuffed after Obama allegedly upbraided Morsi less than two weeks ago in a tense phone conversation. The exchange took place following the violent attacks by protestors on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.
The Camp David Accords stipulate that, "no more than one division [mechanized or infantry] of Egyptian armed forces will be stationed within an area lying approximately 30 kilometers east of the Gulf of Suez and the Suez Canal." After terrorists murdered 15 Egyptian border policemen in August during an intended attack on Israeli forces and civilians, the Egyptian High Command ordered several armored and infantry divisions into Sinai to hunt down the terrorist cells operating in Sinai.
While Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak gave tacit approval to the Egyptian move, IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz has informed Barak and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the Egyptians seem to be in no rush to weed out the terrorist cells and instead are continuing to upgrade their forces in the region – a clear violation of the Camp David Accords.
A senior member of the Egyptian parliament warned the IDF against pursuing terrorist cells within Egyptian territory in the event of another cross-border incident. But General Tal Russo, commander of the IDF Southern Command, told the Israeli media that the army will bolster its forces along the border and respond to any terrorist incursion. The IDF recently added armed reconnaissance UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) – which can fire into Egyptian territory from inside Israel – as well as mechanized border patrols and at least one elite infantry division to the region.
Several Arab and European newspapers have reported that several jihadist cells operating in Sinai are comprised of Hamas soldiers who were trained in Gaza by operatives of the al-Quds Brigades. The force is Iran's so-called foreign legion, as it is greatly influenced by the Revolutionary Guards.
Israeli political commentators have expressed the view that while Morsi is determined to show his Muslim Brotherhood allies that he is willing to challenge strategic aspects of the Camp David Accords, he must also confront radical Islamic terror organizations in Sinai (one columnist wrote that Sinai has turned into "a latter- day Wild West)."
The Sinai terror attacks have greatly impaired Egypt's tourist industry in el-Arish and Sharm el-Sheikh, major sources of revenue for the country's economy. The Sinai's increasingly dangerous atmosphere has prompted Israel's security services to recommend the closing of the Eilat-Taba border crossing to Israelis and foreigners wishing to enter the Sinai coastline. While the crossing remains open for now, Israeli border guards are discouraging their countrymen from entering the region.

Netanyahu brushed aside Lapid's political threats, saying that he was either too politically inexperienced or unaware of the true nature of the peace negotiations with Abbas.

Actor Jason Alexander is known to many as the character of George Costanza from "Seinfeld," better recognized as the exaggerated interpretation of Larry David, who co-wrote and produced the show along with Jerry Seinfeld. Now art is imitating life once again, as Alexander has been tapped to perform in another Larry David production, this time on the Broadway stage instead of the television set.
Larry David's debut into theater is called "Fish in the Dark," a play that revolves around more than a dozen characters dealing with the death of a family member on their own, often comedic, terms. "Fish in the Dark" taps into the iconic comedy David has made a name for himself on with both "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm," blending outlandish observational humor that borders between eccentric and absurd.
While David is currently playing the lead character to his Broadway debut, recent reports have indicated that Jason Alexander is set to replace him as the leading role later on in the year. Performances running until June 7, 2015 will feature David as the main character, and on June 9, Alexander will step in with leading role duties.
"Fish in the Dark" centers around the character of Norman Drexel, who possesses the trademark peculiar and inquisitive characteristics of George Costanza and David's fictionalized version of himself on "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Drexel's father has fallen seriously ill in the hospital, resulting in a gathering of his family, each portraying their own distinct personality flaws that translate into one humorous monologue after another.
Variety reports that "Fish in the Dark" has performed exceptionally well since its debut earlier this year, and as of March 5, 2015, the play had earned more than $13.5 million in sales, converting to more than $1 million generated per week. Reviews have continued to be positive for the play, indicating that fans of David's previous work will surely enjoy this outlandish and rip-roaring look into how humor helps this family come to terms with the mortality of a loved one.
While David has been noted to be a natural on stage, if there's anyone who can tap the eccentric outrageousness of the famous comedian, it's definitely Alexander. Alexander flourished as the role of George Costanza, who was created by David and Jerry Seinfeld as being a more exaggerated version of David himself.
The musical "Kinky Boots" has become a hit since premiering on Broadway in early 2013. The book for the production was written by the Tony Award-winning playwright and actor Harvey Fierstein, known for his work in "Torch Song Trilogy" and "Hairspray." Fierstein teamed up with 80s pop star Cyndi Lauper, who wrote the score for the production. Lauper, of course, is best known for her catchy, timeless hit "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." The production of "Kinky Boots" kicked off a national tour in Las Vegas in September 2014 with dates scheduled through summer 2015. Future productions have also been planned for international locales such as London. What's more, Playbill reports that Music Theatre International has acquired future worldwide licensing rights, meaning that "Kinky Boots" may soon be enjoyed in theaters around the globe.
'Kinky Boots' Fierstein and Lauper's production is based on a 2005 film of the same name that follows a young man named Charlie Price who inherits a shoe factory from his father. When Price takes over the factory is near bankruptcy, as it makes sturdy men's footwear that is falling out of fashion. He realizes he must find a new, reliable clientele to save the business. Fortuitously, he meets a drag queen named Lola, and notices that the high-heeled shoes of her and her friends do not adequately carry a man's weight. Price and Lola eventually come to an agreement to save the factory by creating thigh-high, kinky boots made especially for drag queens.
"Kinky Boots" racked up five Tony Awards in 2013 and a Grammy Award for best musical theater album in 2014. The show's Tony Awards include best original score (Cyndi Lauper), best actor in a musical (Billy Porter), best sound design of a musical (John Shivers), best choreography (Jerry Mitchell) and best orchestration (Stephen Oremus).
Lauper and Fierstein spent around four years writing the show, as both stars have extremely hectic schedules and pursued other creative ventures during their collaboration. Fierstein wrote other plays in this during this time, including the book for the musical production of "Newsies." Lauper, in the meantime, recorded the album Memphis Blues and penned a memoir. According to the Los Angeles Times, the duo is slowly searching for another project on which to collaborate, hoping to have an idea that will allow them to work with a number of older female entertainers.
Describing "Absinthe," the show taking place at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, may prove somewhat of a challenge. Often dubbed part cabaret, part circus, "Absinthe" is a performance one must see to fully understand. Perhaps more articulately explained, The New York Times simply sums it up as "Imagine Cirque du Soleil as channeled through 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' and painted by George Grosz."
With that in mind, there's no way to pigeonhole the entertainers who provide the amalgamation of amazing acrobatic feats and comedy that make "Absinthe" so enjoyable. Therefore, it is no surprise that the emcee, known as Gazillionaire, has launched an eponymous Web series. What's more, Gazillionaire's sidekick, Penny Pibbets, reached her fundraising goal on Kickstarter as of Nov. 18, 2014, to fund a 13-run production of her solo show at Downtown's Art Square Theatre in Las Vegas. Simply titled "The Penny Pibbets Show," the production is slated to open Dec. 21, 2014.
Gazillionaire Web series Gazillionaire's self-titled Web series premiered on YouTube on Sept. 22, 2014. The series takes a behind the scenes look at "Absinthe" and provides brief insight into how Gazillionaire and Penny came to be acquainted. Gazillionaire attributes much of the inspiration of the series to famous "Absinthe" fan Neil Patrick Harris. Each mini-show runs about four to five minutes, broadcasting over 11 weeks, with a new episode releasing every Tuesday. All episodes to date can be found at youtube.com/spiegelworldtv.
Gazillionaire also explained his interest in the Web series as a refreshing side project while still performing in "Absinthe." Prior to the release of the series, Gazillionaire told Las Vegas Weekly:
"You know you're doing the same show 1,700 times, and I figured if you watch some reality TV there's some pretty bad things out there, so I figured we'd make something, and at worst it would be better than 'Project Runway.'"
Penny Pibbets solo show According to Las Vegas Weekly, Penny Pibbets' Kickstarter venture had earned more than its $19,990 fundraising goal with support from over 300 backers with 36 hours remaining in the campaign. Pibbets did extensive marketing for her project, with regular video reminders and updates on the Web page to encourage people to contribute. Of course, she also garnered social media support from celebrities such as Holly Madison and Neil Patrick Harris.
"Absinthe" is currently being performed at Caesars Palace, with tickets still available for many shows in late 2014 and early 2015.

E. von H., the cars were bought new at the same time, owned, driven and serviced by the same people, side by side.
I know, having worked around cars for most of my life, that GM and the rest made some real boners. But, so have the others.
I worked for quite a while at a large truck dealership that sold Mercedes products, and was left thoroughly unimpressed. One of their engines was nicknamed "the grenade".
I just get a little tired of Mercedes being held up as such a big deal, because all of my experiences with them over a spread of about 35 years have convinced me that they're really not a lot better than most other products out there. But for the price, they certainly should be.

If only we could resist the desire to categorize and narrow ourselves, if only it were it encouraged to pursue multiple lines of interest in disparate directions- then true innovation and creativity could come through radical and unexpected associations. Each time we say, "When I grow up, I want to be ____," we cut off a part of our latent selves, which no longer has been given room to grow and develop naturally, because it's not seen as being relevant. If, instead, we could give free reign to our inclinations, pursuing mastery of whatever we happened to be interested in at the time, then we'd become lifelong learners and innovators.
I'm passionate about
Education, design, sustainability, creativity, multidisciplinary practices, unbounded learning
