"Today we say thank you to our military veterans - those who have lived and those who have died," said Santa Clarita City Councilman Bob Kellar.
"If it were not for our veterans, there would be no America as we know it today."
Kellar, who served in the U.S. Army from 1965 to 1967, shared a series of stories about local veterans.
"They're everyday Americans who have risen to the occasion to do what is right to defend this country," Kellar said.
Monday's morning ceremony marked the 21st service Eternal Valley has hosted for Memorial Day.
Memorial Day began in 1868 to mark the fallen of the Civil War.
"Memorial Day has evolved over the years to honor all those who have died in service," said David Zucker, president of the Santa Clarita Valley Veterans Memorial Committee.
With row after row of flag-marked graves behind them, speakers gathered on stage to pay their respects to those who protect the United States.
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts spent Saturday morning placing American flags at 5,102 graves of veterans.
Congressman Howard P. "Buck" McKeon took the podium to share his support.
"I want to honor these men and women again for their service and sacrifice," said McKeon, R-Santa Clarita.
The ceremony included two flyovers, one of World War II AT-6 aircrafts and another of the U.S. Air Force's C-17 that thundered through the clear skies.
Along with the speakers and flyovers, the ceremony featured a series of performances by the Santa Clarita Valley Concert Band and presentations from the William S. Hart Union High School District's Junior ROTC cadets.
After the ceremony, families gathered on the hilltop Memorial Wall at Eternal Valley where the names of more than 800 local veterans who have died were read aloud.

In 1940, the prolific writer Anna Seghers (born Netty Reiling, 1900-1983) was in exile with her two young children in France, while her husband, Laszlo Radvanyi, was interned in a prison camp in Le Vernet. During this turbulent time, Anna Seghers began writing the partially autobiographical novel Transit. Like Seghers herself, the novel's protagonist travels from Paris after the German invasion to the still unoccupied Marseilles, in order to obtain the necessary visas and paperwork for fleeing Europe altogether. To this end, the concentration-camp escapee, who had assumed the name Seidler but whose real name is never revealed to the reader, now takes on yet another identity. On paper he is a writer named Weidel, who, like his …

Actor and comedian Mike Epps is probably best known for his lighter side, having co-starred in movies like "Next Friday," "Friday After Next," "The Honeymooners" and "The Fighting Temptations," where he appeared alongside Cuba Gooding Jr. and Beyonce.
But Saturday afternoon, people will have an opportunity to see Epps' more serious side when he speaks with young people from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Frank E. Merriweather Jr. Library, 1324 Jefferson Ave.
During the free event, Epps will talk about the violence that plagues inner-city communities. His motivational speech will be directed to local youth.
Talking seriously to young people is nothing new for Epps. He and his actress wife formed the Michael and Mechelle Epps Foundation to expand opportunities in the arts, culture and sports to help at-risk youth reach their potential.
In his appearance at the Merriweather Library, the Indianapolis native will speak about his life, nonviolence, bullying, staying in school and the importance of voting.
The session is sponsored by Stop the Violence Coalition, Y.O.U.T.H. Organization, and Men Against Destruction Defending Against Drugs & Social Disorder (MAD DADS). Clarence C. Bryant, a member of Epps' management team, and Buffalo comedian Carl C. White also will make presentations to youth at the library event.
The Merriweather appearance precedes Epps' performance of his stand-up comedy routine, the "I'm Still Standing Tour," at 7 p.m. Saturday in Shea's Performing Arts Center.
Epps also is famous for his roles in the movies "Sparkle" and "The Hangover," as well as co-starring roles in other movies, including "All About the Benjamins," "Resident Evil: Extinction" and "Soul Men," which marked actor and comedian Bernie Mac's last film performance before his death in August 2008.

A new service lets you donate to charity with a single tweet. Sell Simply, a company that enables anyone to buy, sell, and transact on Twitter, launched Twitter Donations, a feature that enables non-profits and charities to collect donation payments with Twitter.
Sell Simply built the feature to enable companies and consumers to send a transaction-able Tweet request for a donation. Followers are able to donate to that cause simply by replying with the word "donate." When someone replies with "donate," Sell Simply makes a transaction that occurs between the two parties.
With thousands of listings for sale already in its Twitter Marketplace, CEO Chris Teso said "Donations are a logical fit for Sell Simply. We're already helping thousands of items be sold over Twitter. Donations are just another type of transaction we can make happen with one Tweet."
Established in June 2011, Sell Simply - profiled recently in EcommerceBytes - enables anyone to buy, sell, and transact on Twitter.

I almost didn't get downstairs
I should have made myself quilt first and THEN start the new quilt but I started piecing first. It was hard to make myself come downstairs, load and quilt a top but I'm determined to finish quilting all 9 of the HeartStrings tops I had here as of Jan 1st before the end of the month. Just 2 left but you know what I'll be doing in February right? — Yep, I'll be binding!
This photo doesn't do this one justice at all – it's too dark down here at night. The homespun HeartStrings are one of my favorite variations and this one was pieced by Tish. It's such a pleasure to quilt a top that is well pieced, pressed, and without a bunch of loose threads needing to be picked off. Tish does a lovely job with hers.
10 Responses to "I almost didn't get downstairs"
I'm pretty sure I know the name of the quilt design- but could you let us know what panto you used? It sure looks great on this quilt!
Great job.
You and Tish make a great team!
A beautiful quilt that is beautifully quilted…love it!
I love homespuns and they look so great in string quilts. The quilting adds so much character.
For years I have been taking my husband's 100% cotton shirts as they wear out (he wears plaids or stripes) and cutting them apart. I have TONS of really nice fabrics and after seeing this top know another GREAT project to put on my bucket list. LOVE the black border around each block … makes them pop. Could you post a picture of the full quilt sometime; would love to see it. The pantograph is wonderful … seaweed, huh? Looks just like it "sounds" … going to have to remember that one for my long arm quilter.
The black with the homespun is so striking – it's just beautiful. And the "seaweed" pantograph is just right – the flowing pattern goes so well with the linear homespun – I like that contrast.
Wonderful quilt! I'm thinking maybe now my stash has enough plaids to start a plaid string quilt. My sis just sent me the Easy Angle ll ruler. That ruler is perfect for cutting string blocks like the quilt you are showing.
I love your quilting and would like to give the sea weed design a try on my domestic but can't see the full design. Where can you order this from?
Was wondering what kind of batting you used. Your quilts are beautiful. Glad I found your blog.
What kind of batting do you use?

Fans of quality summer baseball will have no problem finding a high-level game over the next two weeks as the Lowcountry becomes the place to be for diamond lovers.
The area will play host to three big-time summer tournaments involving teams from more than nine states, starting with the 15-U and 17-U CABA (Continental Amateur Baseball Association) Wood Bat World Series.
Both tournaments begin today with the 15-U finals set for next Thursday and the 17-U finals the following day. Both championship games will be played at Patriots Point.
The 15-U World Series involves 19 teams while the 17-U field has 28 teams registered. The events are managed by John Rhodes.
"These are really quality events with some very talented prospects and very good teams competing," said Rhodes, who also operates the Diamond Devils travel ball organization. "We started these events 12 years ago in Charleston and it has become bigger and bigger each year. Now, CABA operates World Series events for all age groups all over the country."
Some of the top teams competing in the 17-U showcase include the Knoxville Stars, New York Greys, the Tennessee Dores, the Kingston (MD) Royals, and the South Florida American and National teams.
Locally, the Diamond Devils and the CBA (Charleston Baseball Academy) Prospects will be contenders.
The CABA 18-U World Series begins July 18 with 24 teams expected to compete in Charleston.
Sites for the two World Series this week include Dennis Park in Goose Creek, College Park, Charleston Southern, Wando South, Fort Dorchester, West Ashley, Bishop England, Northwood Academy and Patriots Point.
As if that's not enough baseball, North Charleston's Collins Park will once again host the Dixie Majors State Tournament, which includes a field of eight teams from around the Palmetto State.
North Charleston's squad, coached by Kenny Wilkinson, is the host team and has won the state Dixie Majors state title in every season since 1999, except for three years when they hosted the World Series and did not have to qualify in the state tournament.
Dixie Majors includes players in the 17-19 range. The other teams participating include Summerville, North Augusta, Central of Pageland, Chapin, Pelion, Greer and Pleasant Hill.
The team from Pageland is expected to contend for the state title after winning the state title in the Pre-Majors division last season.
Action gets underway Saturday with four games at Collins Park and four games at Charleston Southern. Games on Sunday and Monday will be at Collins Park, with the championship decided on Tuesday night at Collins Park.
North Charleston's Dixie Pre-Majors (15-16) team also begins state tournament play Saturday. The tournament is being held in Westminster.

[format] With all of the excitement of the NBA and NHL Playoffs, the MLB season, and the NFL labor dispute, its easy to forget that the NBA will more than likely be in the middle of their own labor dispute after their current CBA expires on July 1st. [/format]
The NBPA, on the other hand, is not the average sports fan. Not only have they been focused on their own labor situation, but of the situation with the NFL. So much so, in fact, that in lieu of Judge Susan Nelson's ruling for the NFLPA (temporarily lifting the NFL's lockout), the NBPA is already beginning to mirror the NFLPA's labor strategy in preparation for what may become a protracted work stoppage.
[quotes][format] Top officials with the NBA and NBPA were reading every word of Nelson's opinion Monday, but the upshot for the NBA's labor negotiation was clear and resounding: If the NBPA elects to decertify — in effect, dissolving the union and forfeiting the ability to collectively bargain contracts and work rules — then Nelson's ruling will stand as federal precedent rendering moot the NBA's presumed tactic of imposing a lockout. The NBA's collective bargaining agreement expires at 12:01 a.m. on July 1. [/format]
Anticipating a lockout, the NBPA already has collected enough signatures to approve a vote for decertification (-emphasis mine), sources told CBSSports.com. Both sides in the NBA labor negotiation have been closely monitoring the NFL labor case, and top NBA negotiators for more than a year have been holding out hope that a decertification by the players would be ruled a "sham" by federal courts. (via CBS Sports)[/quotes]
Nelson's ruling strikes at least a momentary victory for players not just the NFL, but other American sports which operate under collective bargaining agreements, due to the precedent set by Nelson's ruling. Of course, if the NFL wins on appeal, the various leagues would have precedent on their side, putting players associations at a distinct disadvantage.
[format] But, what of decertification and the NBA? Sure, as reported, the NBPA has collected enough signatures to decertify the union, which is great, assuming the Nelson's ruling holds on appeal. But is the NBPA guaranteed to decertify? Or, more importantly, is it the right strategy? [/format]
One of the significant differences between NBA and NFL contracts is the fact that many NBA contracts are guaranteed…and therein lies the problem. Decertification by the union would automatically void any guaranteed contracts and monies due to the players. The decertification of the NFLPA was so successful because there are no guaranteed contracts in football –the players essentially had nothing to lose with decertification; it was their last bargaining chip. And because it was their last bargaining chip, it was easy to present a unified front against the NFL. That idea of a unified front is essential in labor negotiations…especially when you're fighting with people who have deeper pockets. Chinks in the armor will not only be exposed, they may very well lead to an unfair deal.
[format] With the NBPA, decertification would require players to give up millions and in some cases, hundreds of millions of dollars. Take Hawks Guard/Forward Joe Johnson for example. Johnson signed a six-year $123M contract last July — all guaranteed money. This season, Johnson made roughly $16M. If the NBPA goes through the decertification process, Johnson would lose out on the last 5 years of his contract; approximately $107M in guaranteed money. [/format]
[format] Granted, Johnson would recoup some portion of that money when he signed a new contract, which would likely occur after a new CBA is in place. Of course, that creates another problem. [/format]
The NBA is already a league in which many would argue that top level talent isn't paid fair market value for their services (salary caps, max deals, etc.), so you already have the idea in place that upper echelon talent should receive larger contracts. That problem has been exacerbated by the NBA labor dispute as one of the primary sources of contention between the two sides is the owners' idea of decreasing the length and value of player contracts. Is there significant push-back from the players? Of course. Will there probably be some sort of compromise between the two sides? More than likely, yes. The problem? That compromise means that at some point, Joe Johnson, and players like him are going to lose some portion of the guaranteed money that exists under their current contracts.
[format] Now, imagine the NBPA trying to make the idea of decertification look palatable to ALL of its players. Not quite as easy to present a unified front, is it? [/format]
Sure, maybe the NBPA is full of good Samaritans, willing to throw away money for the good of the union. And maybe they aren't. Lets not forget, two different groups have already attempted to break off from the NFLPA lawsuit, looking for their own voice at the table. There is no guaranteed money involved there.
[format] How is this all going to play out when millions of dollars are being thrown away? [/format]
I'm not sure if there is any precedent in place for a situation like that.

The director of a Bollywood film that depicts the 2008 attacks on Mumbai has been accused by survivors of insensitivity, with much of the movie condemned as unnecessarily gruesome and disturbing.
Ram Gopal Varma, director of The Attacks of 26/11, due for worldwide release today, admitted that it was a "very, very violent" film but denied that he was cashing in on the attack.
He insisted that the seemingly endless, Tarantino-style scenes of shooting and killing — interlaced with Bollywood song routines — were necessary to allow the audience to understand how the 60-hour assault by ten Islamist gunmen on November 26,

Flint's Emergency Financial Manager Michael Brown's newly proposed budget focuses on stopping the bleeding now -- a much needed step for Flint's finances.
The focus is on knocking down the projected $25 million deficit while continuing to work toward more reforms to stabilize the city for the long term.
We feel confident that Brown and his team, an impressive brain trust with the background and foresight the city needs, are on the right track. Yes, like many others, we often want more, quicker from the emergency manager -- but Brown also notes that recovery isn't an easy or fast process.
While this budget plan itself does not reinvent the city, it goes a long way toward putting it on the right path and gives Brown the time he said he needs to further reform our struggling city's finances.
Implementation will hurt on many fronts from layoffs to adding new fees for residents. There are many painful realities in this plan.
We understand these are challenging times, but we also understand that it will take revenue to reinvent Flint. Brown and his team have come up with a plan that sounds brutal -- and it is. But at this point, brutal is what is needed to turn things around.
Initially, their plan will nix one current 3-mil tax levy, while assessing other yearly fees for certain services including waste collection, street lighting, and an increase in water and sewer rates.
Employees also are taking deep concessions and retirees could be moved to different health care plans as the city works to reduce the 25 plans now available to streamline administration.
Brown says unflinchingly that public safety is a top-tier concern. It is for us too and many would argue for this whole city.
We shudder at the prospect of police and fire layoffs, and grants need to be renewed to offset the brunt of any potential public safety layoffs. Brown plans to unveil a public safety plan soon -- and we look forward to hearing more about that.
And, we agree that in order to truly stabilize the city, Flint government must get its own house in order. We like to hear their plan for a culture change at City Hall. In order to make the bigger changes yet to come -- those that will turn this city around so it does not need yet another state takeover in another few years -- such a culture change has to happen.
The old ways have proven ineffective. We don't like to see layoffs, concessions or increases in fees, but there are still obstacles ahead and big challenges to overcome. We must be willing to make the changes necessary to rebuild our city and move forward.

OREGON CITY – Stick to the game plan, or let instinct take over – it's the athlete's conundrum.
Friday night with his team's game on the line, Oregon City's sophomore guard Trevon Bradford listened to his conscience.
With less than a minute left on the clock, and Oregon City (8-4) nursing a 56-52, Bradford applied full-court pressure to make a steal and earn his team extra free throws to ice an eventual 57-52 overtime win against Pendleton (5-8).
"I was supposed to be playing back, but I just... I don't know, instincts, I guess," said Bradford, who finished with a game-high 16 points.
Bradford's stellar effort was needed Friday night, a night when Hunter Knighton didn't see any court time due to a broken shooting hand. Knighton had recently helped carry the Pioneers to an Alaskan tournament title while playing red-hot basketball: he dropped 36 points in a 77-46 win, hitting 10 of 18 threes.
Even without Knighton, the Pioneers found a way to win.
Oregon City's relentless pressure in the second half turned the tide in favor of the Pioneers, who trailed 24-23 at the half.
"Our coaching staff spends like hours scouting, and we didn't run that (full-court pressure) in any of our games so far," Bradford said. "When we put it in, they weren't expecting it."
Austin DeWitz and Briggs Young also reached double figures scoring for the Pioneers with 15 and 12 points.
Up next for Oregon City is a match against Hood River Valley on Jan. 14.

Oxford Citizen
OXFORD — A decision made Friday by NCAA officials to postpone the first day of the Oxford Regional was made based on the safety of the players and fans gathered at Oxford-University Stadium.
Wilbert Ellis, the NCAA's representative at the regional, said pushing back Game 1 and Game 2 Friday revolved around heavy rains that were expected to hit the area, some time after the start of the first game between No. 2 seed Washington and No. 3 seed Georgia Tech.
The opener was scheduled to begin at 3 p.m., with No. 1 seed Ole Miss and No. 4 Jacksonville State following at 7. Rain kept the tarp on the field most of the afternoon, and while the Huskies were able to take batting practice, neither team had taken infield or outfield drills when the tarp first came out.
The rain eventually came to an end around 5, with first pitch tentatively set at 6. The only thing that prevented that from happening was the extended forecast.
"We have the NCAA weather, and then we work with the local weather and the national weather, and what happened was the rain just kept popping up out there. And lighting was in there, and we can not play when lightning strikes within eight miles away," Ellis said.
"If a team is on the field, we have to pull them from the field. By the time we thought about putting a team on the field, we had rain and heavy thunderstorms, and the last forecast was very scary. We didn't have the weather (at 6), but we had the weather coming in."
Ellis and officials from all four of the schools met to discuss the weather issue, and then a final call came at 6:15. The schedule for today's games remains the same, 1 p.m. and 5, but an extra game was added to Sunday's slate starting at 11 a.m.
Game 6 of the regional will be played Monday at 2 p.m. The "if necessary" game would be played Monday night at 7.
"We tried to do everything that was possible to get the game in. We talked with the NCAA and we did everything we could. When you get down to championship play, we want it to be under the best conditions," Ellis said. "The outfield was kind of muddy and soggy, and as we got more rain, it was going to get worse.
"Now we have to say a prayer to the good Lord to give us favorable weather."

In Reply.—Since blood pressure is a variable that is influenced by a host of factors and its measurement is associated with errors, the issue in a trial such as the Hypertension Prevention Trial (HPT) is not whether there is variability and error, but rather the influence they have on the results observed. Clearly, the greater the variability of a measure, the more difficult it is to find differences among the treatment groups because of a lack of precision of the measurement. Recognition of this is the reason the investigators in the HPT devoted considerable time and resources to standardization of the measurement process by training blood pressure observers, by use of random zero sphygmomanometers, and by continuous monitoring of the measurement process.1 Indeed, one might argue that the observation of blood pressure differences among the treatment groups is even more noteworthy because it emerges in spite of the

In recent decades, people seem to have gotten the message that it's not OK to throw cups, bottles, bags and wrappers on the ground.
But few smokers hesitate to flick cigarette butts while driving or walking - as evidenced by the bloom of butts at busy intersections and scattered on sidewalks, under bushes and in parking lots.
To help convince smokers in this area that butts are litter, too, the Intermunicipal Relations Committee will form a cigarette litter task force this month.
The task force will help direct the use of $4,000 the committee recently obtained in grants from Keep America Beautiful's Cigarette Litter Prevention Campaign.
The money - $1,000 each to be spent in the committee's four member municipalities - will go for signs, stand-alone butt containers, pocket and auto ashtrays, and education at selected locations.
Cigarette smoking has decreased 28 percent in the last decade, but butts remain the most littered item in the U.S. and the world, according to a Guide to Cigarette Litter Prevention on the Keep America Beautiful website.
Research in Australia shows that many smokers don't think throwing their butts on the ground is inappropriate, according to a Guide to Cigarette Litter Prevention on the Keep America Beautiful website.
In the days of unfiltered cigarettes, it seemed that butts simply "went away," said committee Executive Director John Frederick.
Most of the filters of modern cigarettes, however, are made of cellulose acetate, a kind of plastic that doesn't degrade quickly, according to the guide.
Frederick finds the roadside carpets of white and tan filters disgusting, and he'll provide gloves and even masks to those who will be doing the "butt scans," he said.
According to the grant protocols, workers will count the butts in a designated area, begin the prevention program, then recount, continue the program, then count a third time, to learn how the program is working, Frederick said.
The protocol requires that half the money go for containers, said Katrina Pope, the committee's education and enforcement coordinator.
The standalone containers may go in areas like parks and public plazas, she said.
Tobacco products comprise 38 percent of all roadway litter, and 18 percent of litter ends up in waterways, much of it after traveling through storm drains, according to the guide.
Lots of butts get dropped in recreation areas, including beaches and parks, which drags down the appeal of those areas, according to the guide.
Most cigarette littering happens at transition points, where smokers must dispose of their butts before entering a non-smoking area, according to the guide.
Eighty percent of smokers said they would dispose of their butts properly if an appropriate container were available.
The committee has invited planners, business development experts, government officials and planners to join the task force, Frederick said.

It's madness right from the start: we begin by trying to rappel down to the ground from a helicopter, but the chopper in question gets hit by a rocket and goes spiralling out of control. There's a nausea-inducing moment as the player whirls through the air on the end of a rope, before finally managing to swing through the window of a nearby building. This show-boating intro leads to a series of fierce gun battles through the interiors of several ruined buildings. There's an atmosphere that echoes the later parts of MW2's campaign, when it actually felt like you were fighting through the end of the world: everything is trashed, smashed or on fire. Vietnamese propaganda spews from some unseen tannoy, and when we catch a glimpse of the sky outside it is streaked with oily smoke, lit up with tracer fire. Helicopters are patrolling the airways, and they're not just there for atmospheric purposes either: at one point an entire room's worth of foes is utterly decimated by a sort of chopper drive-by.
Again, the action as a whole feels very typically Call of Duty, but the execution is pretty much flawless. It's a dark level, both visually and tonally, and everywhere you look the world appears to be in ruins: snapped cables, crumbled chunks of wall and the exposed innards of mortally-wounded buildings. There are some particularly nice particle effects on display too, and given the fact that the fighting is almost constant, with something blowing up or collapsing every ten seconds, you'll see a lot of them. But perhaps the most pleasing aspect of all is the fact that it feels like a warzone. A dirty tank rolls around a corner, and as you walk alongside you notice someone has daubed graffiti on the side. An innocent civilian dashes out of a room with a dazed expression, his palm extended in supplication. War is hell, and Black Ops knows it.
So, business as usual then? Perhaps. Even among the more hardcore fans, there's often a sense that Treyarch is viewed as simply the "other" Call of Duty developer, but this time around there's a sense that the studio may try to steal the spotlight. With Infinity Ward half dead there's a real opening for Treyarch to step up, though it'll be a gargantuan achievement if Black Ops manages to equal the impact that Modern Warfare 2 had last November. For the time being, there's plenty to be positive about. The game already has that lush, big-budget feel, and the action looks as wild and gritty as ever. There's a lot of potential in the setting, too: Treyarch hasn't revealed the full scope of the game yet, but it's strongly hinted that it'll stretch far beyond the 1968 setting of these demoed missions.
Alongside the single-player campaign there'll be a standalone co-op mode for up to four players online, and two players in local split-screen. It's safe to assume that the competitive multiplayer mode will be huge, and as for a repeat of World at War's Zombie mode… well, nothing's been confirmed or denied, but there's bound to be something; the developers would be fools to ignore public demand. Black Ops represents a big opportunity for Treyarch: the company knows it, and we know it too. And however you feel about the Call of Duty franchise, I suspect you want to see how this one will turn out.
Call of Duty: Black Ops will be released on PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii on November 9.

This has nothing to do with evaluating the kids, (cause that's what GR is for), and everything to do with you not liking enforcers. Plain and simple. As much as you complain about them being useless, enforcers are still on every team in the league (there's my old material Doc! ). I guess you're just smarter than every GM and coach in the NHL then right? Maybe Babs knows something you don't?
Who's Red Wings enforcer to start this season? Who was Red Wings enforcer when they won the cup in 2008? I guess enforces really aren't "on every team" after all. Imagine that...

Can the words "healthy" and "cheeseburger" be used in the same sentence? The founder of Elevation Burger thinks so. In 2005, Han Hess decided to launch a restaurant around the concept of "ingredients matter."
The website boasts that hamburgers are made from 100 percent USDA-certified organic, 100 percent grass fed, 100 percent free-range meat that's ground on the premises. Fries are cooked in "heart healthy olive oil."
Elevation Burger's menu boldly lists the calorie counts of every item, including shakes, which if you include syrup and a couple of other ingredients, easily racks up to close to 1,000 calories. The menu says that a 2,000 calorie diet is considered the daily recommended amount, so the shake could get you halfway there.
3365 Washtenaw Ave,
Ann Arbor
734- 585-0467
- Hours: 11 a.m.-9 p.m. every day.
- Plastic: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover.
- Liquor: No
- Prices: Inexpensive. A basic elevation burger with no toppings or cheese is $5.79.
- Noise level: Quiet.
- Wheelchair access: Yes.
I'm not certain how others feel, but when I decide to splurge on a burger, fries and a shake, I prefer not to know how many calories I'm consuming. It takes the fun out of the dining experience. And, as the Elevation Burger menu indicates, such a meal packs a lot of calories.
Elevation Burger franchises have been available since 2008; now there are 40 throughout the U.S. and the Middle East. Mike and Sarah Tayter opened the first in Michigan, located on Washtenaw, in July.
Elevation Burger was a favorite restaurant of the two when they lived in Austin, Texas — as it was in line with their views on sustainability and nutrition — and they thought it would be a draw in Ann Arbor, "where people care where their food comes from," said Mike Tayter. The couple bought the rights for two more franchises in the area, and Mike Tayter believes there's sufficient appetite to ensure ample demand, pointing out that the two Whole Foods and three Chipotles here have all done well.
His goal is to open another on the University of Michigan campus, but says finding real estate is challenging. In the meantime, he says the first restaurant is thriving, helped by the highly trafficked location and the fact that it's in between the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University, so it's attracting many students.
The place is bright and airy, with part of the floors in hardwood and part tile. There are a variety of tables, including an enormous picnic-like table with enough room for a large party in the middle of the room. On our first visit, it was filled with young families.
Elevation Burger's menu is basic, consisting of beef burgers, veggie burgers, fries, shakes, malts, grilled cheese and cookies. In the freezer by the counter, there are a variety of bottled drinks and pre-packaged salads and dressing. Several burger toppings are available, from the standard lettuce, pickles and ketchup to the more exotic caramelized onions and hot pepper relish. As we made our way to the front of the counter to order on our first visit, Mike Tayter gave us the rundown of the healthy ingredients, helping us narrow down our choices.
Everything was delivered in a metal cake pan in record time, within a few minutes, on both our visits. The side salad was uninteresting. Though the lettuce was fresh, that was all there was except for a piece of tomato. The burgers come wrapped in paper, giving them a nostalgic feel. All the burgers were amazing, fresh, thick and juicy. My daughter opted for the elevation burger, two organic beef patties, along with tomato, lettuce and pickles, which was a thick, hearty offering.
I opted for the "half the guilt burger," which contained one beef patty and one veggie patty, but it was roughly the same amount of calories as the elevation burger, failing to assuage my guilt. Still, it was worth the indulgence. Mine came with caramelized onions, a thick piece of six-month aged cheddar cheese and mushrooms, all of which tasted extremely fresh and complemented the burger served on a spongy, fresh bun.
My husband couldn't decide between the two veggie burgers, so he got a mixture of the veggie burger #2, the vegan version that contained whole grains, corn and carrots, with the veggie burger #1 that contained just veggies and cheese. I thought the veggie burger #2, the vegan version, was heartier and a bit more flavorful than the #1, which I ordered, but they both were first-rate.
French fries came piled high in paper containers. Thin, crispy and well done, they were addicting and, next to the hamburgers, were the best part of our meal.
I decided to sample the grilled cheese with mushrooms, which was just a piece of cheddar cheese plopped on backwards-facing buns that don't do justice to this type of sandwich.
Vegans or those watching calories can have their burger wrapped in lettuce. I was hoping this would be similar to the Vietnamese lettuce rolls, but it was just as described, a hamburger in the center of some lettuce. It was an unruly, bland-tasting combination and it was impossible to keep the lettuce wrapped around the burger.
For the shake, we opted for chocolate ice cream with Oreos and chocolate syrup (way to ramp up the calorie content!) I thought it tasted more like bland ice cream with cookies mixed in, nothing special. I thought the malt we ordered, with vanilla ice cream, strawberries and banana, was far better — smooth and creamy — though the banana was undetectable. The chocolate pecan cookies are worth skipping. They tasted doughy and undercooked.
When we finished eating, I thought about tallying my calorie intake: a burger, French fries, a shake, a salad and a couple bites of the cookie, but it would be so monstrous a number, I decided not to proceed. Elevation Burger is a nice new burger destination, but if you care about calories and want to enjoy your experience here, you'll ignore those numbers on the side.

The director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said he doesn't know whether Neil Armstrong watched the Curiosity rover land on Mars this month. But he's sure the world's most famous astronaut would have liked what he saw.
The landing of the largest and most advanced spacecraft hurled onto another planet was in many ways a tribute to the first person to step on the moon, and to the celestial frontier he had helped blaze.
"He was Mr. Space, the one who really opened that frontier," JPL Director Charles Elachi said Saturday. "I would imagine he would have been excited that we were going beyond the moon and possibly opening a future for human missions to Mars."
PHOTOS: Neil Armstrong dead at 82
"I'm sure if Neil Armstrong was watching the landing of Curiosity, he would have been cheering that next step to what he had done," the JPL director continued.
Elachi said he couldn't watch the tracks left on the red planet by the Curiosity, Spirit and Opportunity rovers without thinking of the boot prints famously left behind on the moon by Armstrong.
Elachi said he was a student at Caltech when he watched Armstrong step on the lunar surface. He said he got to meet Armstrong years ago at events in Washington, D.C., and was always humbled not just by Armstrong's historic stature but also by the courage his feat made manifest.
"In those days, just going into orbit was a major feat," Elachi said. "And to be the first person to land on the moon, as he and Buzz Aldrin did -- you had to respect that kind of boldness and courage."
Elachi said that when he first saw the news that Armstrong had died, he felt "sadness that an icon had passed away," but he also thought about the smile on the face of Armstrong, still clad in his spacesuit, after he returned from the moon landing more than 40 years ago.
"This guy really opened a frontier for all of humanity," Elachi said. "I was inspired to work in science and math in large part because of watching that landing. Millions of people around the world and in the United States were inspired when they saw that a human could land on the moon."

CHARLES TOWN - Tossed in among the stray grass, empty green Sheetz bags from next door mingle with rocks randomly strewn across the ground. This space was envisioned to be a bustling movie theater in Charles Town, but it sits empty and undeveloped.
Along U.S. 340, off Marlow Road, the commercial retail space appears in a dirt mound between Sheetz and Tractor Supply. Berkeley Theaters 7 of Martinsburg reported in 2012 that it planned for a theater to arrive in June, then groundbreaking was pushed back to August with a November opening date.
Now it's almost February, and still no theater exists.

Residents in Charles Town eagerly wait to find out if they will soon have a movie theater closer than Martinsburg. The propsed theater would occupy the space near Tractor Supply and Sheetz off U.S. 340.
Charles Town City Manager Joe Cosentini said since the city requested information from the developer in June, there has not been much change.
The area is under the jurisdiction of Willow Springs Public Service Corporation, which is a privately held wastewater treatment facility, and the city is waiting on information regarding the handling of the wastewater.
The city is also waiting on the final site plan.
"The city has water service that is currently serving the facilities that are out there. The city is not approving or disapproving whether or not they have sewer service at Willow Springs," Cosentini said.
After the proposed dates have come and gone, Cosentini said the city is unsure what happened with the information it requested earlier in the summer.
"Really, we are just waiting for that last piece before we can approve the site plan," Cosentini said.
Charles Town held a public hearing in regard to the proposed construction plan, although no citizens attended to oppose the theater's construction.
Currently, the city of Charles Town is in negotiations to purchase Willow Springs Public Service Corporation so that everything will fall under the umbrella of the city. However, that has not happened yet, Cosentini said.
"We've been waiting for the developer to come forward and provide the information we requested back in June," Cosentini said.
Cricky Shultz, owner of Commercial Associates Real Estate, the project's developer, could not be reached for comment.

Las Vegas: How and when to travel
By The Daily Telegraph
Published: 11th December 2012 01:58 PM
Last Updated: 11th December 2012 01:58 PM
Why go?
Risque nightlife and glamorous casino resorts draw crowds from around the world but not just to gamble and gawp. In modern Las Vegas, top chefs dish up global flavours, while boutique hotels, fashion-forward shops, art galleries and chic clubs attract even gambling neophytes who can't tell a full house from a flush.
Where casinos have no clocks, nightlife has no limits, and Sin City stays wide-awake until dawn. Saunter past velvet ropes at an ultra lounge, sip cocktails under the stars at a rooftop bar, or take in a mega-star's stage show.
Roll out of bed just in time for a champagne brunch buffet, then sun yourself at a hot pool club. Las Vegas is made for sybaritic escapes from the humdrum everyday.
From its roots as a Western cowboy town, Las Vegas (Spanish for "the meados") transformed into a mid-20th-century mobster hideaway, where Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack, stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Elvis, and bigwigs like JFK cavorted together with showgirls.
Every building boom was bigger and better than the last. Even during the recent US economic recession, the action at casino tables along the Strip hardly missed a beat.
When to go?
Las Vegas is an anytime destination. Casino doors never shut, not even for Christmas. Spring and autumn are the most temperate times to visit. In summer, the heat and humidity can be oppressive, although June, July and August are when Vegas' sexy pool season peaks.
Winter weather is cold and rainy, but snow is rare except in the mountains outside the city. New Year's Eve is by far the biggest annual event, when room rates skyrocket and every hotel for miles around is booked out.
Getting There
Airport transfers: Taxi fares to the Strip average $15-20, to downtown $20-25. Request that the driver take surface streets to avoid being scammed by the longer I-15 connector tunnel to the Strip. Airport shuttle buses are slower but cheaper: one-way fares cost from $7 per person.
Getting Around
On foot: It's a four-mile walk along the entire Strip (Las Vegas Boulevard), but the main attractions are on a two-mile-long pedestrian-friendly stretch centred on Flamingo Avenue.
Taxis: It's illegal to hail cabs in the street. Find taxi stands outside casinos, hotels and shopping malls. Rates start at $3.30, plus $2.40 per mile (airport surcharge $1.80). A trip from one end of the Strip to the other, or between the Strip and downtown, should cost under $20 (including tip), depending on waiting time in traffic.
Buses: Double-decker Deuce and SDX express buses connect the Strip and downtown 24 hours a day, but service can be slow. A two-hour pass costs $5 (all day $7, three days $20; 702 228-7433, 800 228-3911)
Monorail: A private monorail runs along the Strip's east side, as well as to the city's convention centre, but it's expensive (single-ride ticket $5, one-day pass $12) and stations are a 10-minute walk off Las Vegas Boulevard. Operates daily 7am-2am.
Trams: Free trams connect these Strip casinos: Mandalay Bay, Luxor and Excalibur; the Monte Carlo, Aria and Bellagio; and the Mirage and TI (Treasure Island).

Just caught up with the first season of Hannibal. Really quite excellent, and very dark and disturbing for network TV. It does get caught up a little in the procedural side of "monster of the week" killings, but that's just the framework for cat-and-mouse game being played by Hannibal against the mentally unsound protagonist. (FYI-the series takes place before the events of Red Dragon, SotL, etc)
Knowing what Hannibal will become makes things all the more interesting, and there's some great performances to enjoy.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
A Gallup poll in March revealed that a majority of Americans now believe that economic growth should take precedence over environmental protection. This marked the first time since the organization began asking this question 25 years ago that the concern over the environment took a back seat to the economy, according to Gallup. In 1984, 60% of those polled chose the environment; this year that number dropped to 42%, most likely due to the to the year-long recession. Do you think this will affect the green environment movement?

NEW YORK - IFL titleholders Matt Horwich, Roy Nelson and Ryan Schultz will defend their belts when the International Fight League opens its 2008 schedule with an eight-bout card at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas on Friday, February 29.
In addition to the three Championship bouts, team competition will feature Matt Lindland?'s Team Quest vs. Ken Shamrock?'s Lions Den and Team Xtreme Couture vs. Mario Sperry?'s MMA Top Team.
Horwich, who claimed the middleweight title with a victory over Benji Radach at the IFL World Grand Prix on December 29, will defend his crown against Tim Kennedy who won all three of his IFL matchups in 2007 with first or second-round finishes.
Nelson, who knocked out Antoine Jaoude to win the heavyweight crown, will take on IFL newcomer Fabiano Scherner, who trains with Lindland at Team Quest. Schultz, whose lightweight victory over Chris Horodecki raised eyebrows in the entire MMA community, makes the first defense of his lightweight belt against John Gunderson, who competes for the Lions Den.
?"This card is a good example of how the flexibility of our new format makes for great matchups,? said IFL Commissioner Kurt Otto. ?Fans will get to see three Championship bouts, plus some exciting team competition feeding some of our upcoming title fights.?"
The rest of the card includes several matchups between top IFL athletes vying for spots in future title bouts. Ian Loveland of Team Quest will take on Dennis Davis of MMA Top Team, with the winner possibly earning a title bout in the featherweight division; the crown is currently held by Wagnney Fabiano. Lion's Den? member Pat Healy will take on a Team Quest member in a welterweight matchup that may determine a future title bout at 170 lbs. (Team Xtreme Couture?s Jay Hieron of Las Vegas holds the belt at present).
Additionally, Marcello Salazar will represent MMA Top Team at 170 lbs. against an opponent to be determined, and Radach will compete for Xtreme Couture in a middleweight bout.
One other matchup will also be contested, athletes TBD.

A new king and queen reigned over a magical kingdom created in the Northshore Harbor Center when the Krewe of Bilge presented its 2013 court and presented their royalty. King Neptune XXXIII Earl J. Savoie and Queen Neptune XXIX Darian Christi Varnado will lead the krewe through the canals of Eden Isles when Bilge presents its annual boat parade on Jan. 26.
"It's a wonderful night," said Knight. "The stage is beautiful and people are looking forward to seeing who will be queen."
Castle walls, complete with turrets and "flaming" sconces framed the stage and the presentation walkway. Disney decorations adorned the guest tables.
Following the presentation of the colors by the Northshore High School JROTC Honor Guard, and the national anthem was sung a cappella by Chuck Cavet. Cavet is a member of Flipside, the musical entertainment for the evening.
After a general welcome, Knight turned over the podium to the evening's master of ceremonies Michael Tull. In the middle of his opening remarks, Tull was distracted by a cellphone call. Answering the phone, he relayed to the audience that two special guests from Florida had just arrived and wanted to address the group.
Enter Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
Mickey sported a tux with Mardi Gras bow tie, while Minnie wore a ball gown of dusty plum and jewels. After greeting the crowds and declaring the ball a success, they retired to sitting rooms outside the hall.
Soon after, President Don Gutelius and his wife, Charlotte, entered the hall. It was perfect timing as Charlotte Gutelius was wearing a gown matching Minnie Mouse's and it would have caused quite the stir fashion-wise. "Since I'm the president, I get to do all the goofy stuff," said Gutelius, smiling. "It makes this job fun."
Captain Wayne Dunne arrived in his decorated golf cart, driven by long-time friend and fellow member Dr. Jerry Wiliams in tux and sparkling fedora. Dunne was clad in a traditional Carnival costume of purple velour, sequined cape featuring the krewe's logo, hat with plumes and gold boots.
After the announcement of the junior members of the royal court, King Neptune XXXIII Earl Savoie made his appearance and thanked the members for their support of him and the organization.
"I am King, but I am nothing without you all," said Savoie.
"Especially, I thank my wife, Sue, for making my royal outfit. Without her, I'd be naked out here," he said to general laughter. "She has taken care of everything for me, and has made it very easy to be king." He presented his wife with a beautiful spray of white roses and Carnival accents.
Situated behind the king was a long table featuring seven white bouquets, each featuring an attached sealed envelope.
Each maid was announced and presented to the audience with the escort of one of the krewe's dukes. They included: Heidi Dunne, escorted by Gerald Dunne; Darian Christi Varnado, escorted by her great-grandfather, Gary L. Knight, Caitlin Bush, escorted by Marty Craig; Chelsea Spadoni, escorted by Robert Naquin Jr.; Charlee Gagliano, escorted by Mike Huff; Brooke Artigue, escorted by her grandfather, Richard Artigue; and Taylor Artigue, also escorted by her grandfather Richard Artigue.
As the young women were announced, they stopped beside the table to select a bouquet before proceeding on their promenade around the room. Emcee Tull announced to all that although each young woman arrived as a maid, one would leave as your queen.
When the royal party was in place on the stage, Joyce Knight, Captain Dunne and President Gutelius went down the line, opening each envelope, drawing out a card and peering at it before replacing it and going to the next one. Six of the cards were blank and one carried the single work, "Queen," according to Knight.
After the suspense mounted with the help of a drum roll in the background, a hand was reached out to Darian Christi Varnado and she was crowned Queen Neptune XXIX.
Descending from the stage, her mother, Angel Varnado, was called forward to remove her maid's tiara. Dressed in a dark purple gown, Queen Neptune XXVII Megan Messina placed the crown on her head. Varnado then received the queen's medallion and was fitted with the long marine blue velvet train to match the king's and a sequined collar on her shoulders. According to Varnado, she had served as a maid twice before and as a junior maid prior to being named Queen.
To the music of "Only You", the king and queen promenaded around the hall to the enjoyment of their subjects.
The Royal Court also included Junior Maids Sadie Lewis, Emilie Gentry and Emily Legnon, as well as Dukes Wilfred "Bubby" Lewis, Anthony Gomez and Larry Currier. Ladies-in-Waiting include Karli Bayhi, Gillian Thomas, Kaylei Macdonald and Chelsea Hayes. Junior Dukes are Madden Macdonald, Ian John Readeau and Devin Artigue. The Queen's Attendants are Haven Chapman and Lauren Marie Gillion. Attendants to the King are Wyatt Lewis and Jacob Messina.

The Washington state Supreme Court has ruled that an employer can fire a worker who uses medical marijuana, even when the worker uses the drug at home and experiences no side effects on the job, the Seattle PI is reporting:
In a decision issued Thursday, the high court found that the state's medical marijuana law, which protects patients from criminal prosecutions, allows no recourse in employment disputes.
"MUMA (Medical Use of Marijuana Act) does not provide such an unlimited right," the court wrote, with Justice Tom Chambers dissenting.
The case stemmed from a woman's lawsuit against a customer-service firm in Bremerton, which fired her when she failed a drug test. The woman told the company, Colorado-based Teletech Customer Care Management, that she used marijuana prescribed by her doctor for debilitating migraines.

As an update to my story earlier this month on the discovery of global warming on Mars, I thought it appropriate to survey the rest of the solar system. Global warming was detected on Jupiter last year, and the warming is apparently behind the formation of a second red spot. Global warming on Neptune's moon Triton has also been noted, with severe atmospheric changes as a result. And even tiny Pluto has experienced moderate warming in recent years, with temperatures rising a full 3.5 degrees.
The common denominator in all these cases, the Earth included, is of course the Sun, which is in the middle of an extremely active period at present. The last time it was so active was during the Medieval Warm Period of 700 years ago, a period where the Earth was warmer than it is today. Interestingly enough, the period in which it was least active (the Maunder Minimum) corresponds with the Little Ice Age the earth experienced in the 17th century.
Such correlations are causing many scientists to consider the Sun the primary cause of terrestrial climate change. The initial problem with this theory was that the changes in solar flux didn't appear to be enough to account for the warming.
However the research of scientist Henrik Svensmark of the Danish Space Research Institute has provided the missing link. Increased solar activity not only warms the earth directly, it increases the strength of the solar winds. This reduces the amount of cosmic radiation striking the earth, which directly reduces the formation rate of clouds. Less clouds = more warming.
Astrophysicist Nir Shaviv reconstructed 550 million years of Earth's climate change history. He found that 2/3 of the temperature variance could be explained by changes in cosmic flux alone, without even considering the direct influence of solar heating.
This has always been a weak point of CO2-based models, which have never been able to succesfully explain these warming and cooling trends in our past.

On Day Two of the Rosie O'Donnell-Gruner + Jahr trial, a former editor of the now-defunct Rosie magazine testified Friday that she avoided frequent disagreements with O'Donnell because she was afraid she'd lose her job, reports the Associated Press.
"I picked my battles," said Cathy Cavender, who served as Rosie's editor-in-chief from December 2000 until being fired (by G + J) in June 2002.
Cavender said that over time she deduced that O'Donnell was "pretty sensitive," and issues Cavender believed to be simple would end up rankling the star.
"I'm asking you to be as direct as you can be with me," O'Donnell once e-mailed Cavender, adding at another time, "I am not a tyrant." Still, Cavender testified, "I felt that if I disagreed with Rosie too much I would lose my job."
O'Donnell, said Cavender, also wanted British pop star Boy George on a cover because she was preparing to produce his play "Taboo" for Broadway.
"I would rather go down breaking records and amazing people than stay at the shore watching the brave ones swim," O'Donnell told Cavender in an e-mail.
G+J executives, however, thought the magazine was already too edgy and were nervous about declining newsstand sales, Cavender said.
In response to Cavender's testimony, Boy George wrote a colorful letter to the New York Post, which published excerpts in its Monday editions. He said, in part: "What a delicious idea. I wish I had such power ... and cannot understand how I have become so central to (the trial)."
The trial, which began last Thursday, continues Monday and is expected to last two weeks.
O'Donnell, 41, is seeking $125 million after claiming G + J breached her contract to publish and damaged her name, while G + J is seeking $100 million amid claims that O'Donnell reneged on her agreement to serve as publisher and altered her public image from Queen of Nice to uber-bitch.
