Ecto-1 and the Working Cadillac
Ecto-1 and the Working Cadillac - While a lucrative business for Caddy in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, these professional vehicles weren't all that common. In 1959, just 2102 chassis were made, the lion's share going to the Miller-Meteor company in Ohio. Divided again between ambulance, limousine, dual-purpose and the odd flower car or two, not many more than several hundred Futura Duplexes were made in total. - A history of the Ecto-1, chariot of the

Mad Props
There was a typewriter repairman in North Hollywood, California. He couldn't believe it when all of a sudden someone deposited 24 vintage typewriters on his doorstep and said, "Make them look new." He probably hadn't had that much work in the last 25 years. He was probably just about ready to hang up the "Going out of business" sign and cursing the arrival of the laptop computer when all of a sudden here I come with 24 typewriters.

Kaddish: The Holy, Ordinary Cup
"Some of [the Levites] also were appointed over the furniture and over all the utensils of the sanctuary and over the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the frankincense and the spices. Some of the sons of the priests prepared the mixing of the spices. Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the responsibility over the things which were baked in pans. Some of their relatives of the sons of the Kohathites were over the showbread (bread of the Presence) to prepare it every Sabbath." I Chronicles 9:29-32 (NASB)
The word "Kaddish" simply means "holy" or "set apart for particular or special use." Your favorite tea or coffee cup, in the most mundane sense, can be considered "holy," because you have set it aside for a special purpose.
Our Scripture passage above from 1 Chronicles gives us a glimpse into "everyday-ness" of living a holy life. The Levites were a set-apart family group within Israel, commissioned with taking care of the daily workings of the Tabernacle/Temple. They were the security guards, carpenters, accountants, janitors, and musicians. They were the "blue-collar" workers. Without them, all worship activity would have ceased. They were the people behind the scenes.
Holiness is less about living a Clorox-bleached, "high and mighty" life, and more about doing the ordinary things of life well before the face of the Lord. If you notice in the passage above, the Levites went about their daily business—their holy business—with excellence and skill, yet it required a great deal of "sweat equity" and ingenuity to get it all done. When necessary they even called in their relatives to help out and get the work done.
As we enter this Passover season, take a look at what you set aside as "holy" in your life. Be careful not to artificially separate "what happens every day" from "what happens at church." In God's eyes, if we are followers of Jesus, ALL of life is "holy." It is set apart for Him and His purposes. Over these next few weeks as you clean out your pantry and freezer of leaven, take time to offer God ALL of your life. Let him take out that which hinders you from being that "clean tea cup" ready to be filled with His Spirit for His purposes.
See you next week at the Seder Dinners.
Blessings, Pastor Kim
KBU is For YOU!

Jon Stewart Taking Hiatus From 'Daily Show' to Direct Movie
Posted on Mar 5, 2013
Funnyman Jon Stewart is taking a turn at a more serious project than he's normally accustomed to, one that will require him to be behind the camera instead of in front of it.
"The Daily Show" host announced Tuesday that he would be taking a 12-week hiatus from the Comedy Central program this summer in order to direct his first film, a drama called "Rosewater." Stewart also penned the screenplay for the movie, which is based on the 2011 book "And Then They Came For Me: A Family's Story of Love, Captivity and Survival" by Maziar Bahari and Aimee Molloy.
"Daily Show" correspondent John Oliver will fill in at the anchor desk for eight of the 12 weeks that Stewart is working on the movie.

Why I'm Moving to Las Vegas and Why Marketers Should Also
After two years in Colorado, I've decided to move. My first selection was to Arizona, probably Scottsdale, as I love the area, love the houses and really love the weather. However, while looking at places in the Phoenix area, both my fiancé and myself decided to consider looking out of curiosity at the Las Vegas area. We had lived there in 2008-2009, and never considered this would be a place where we'd raise a family, or ever go back to. However, after much consideration, we decided to buy a house in Las Vegas and make it our home. I believe that right now, it's perhaps one of the best places to consider moving to if you are an internet marketer, and here's why:
1) No State Income Taxes. One of the most compelling reasons to move there was the complete lack of State Income taxes. We had looked at both Arizona and California, and figured that we'd be paying in California approximately 40k a year more in taxes, and about 25k more a year in Phoenix. While we loved some places in both States, it didn't seem that we would be getting that much more services for that money.
2) Amazing Housing Prices. Simply put, the housing market here is the worse in the nation, and there is a plethora of houses on the market for amazing prices. Many new developments were built from 2005-2008, with the developers selling the houses for $500-1M on average. Now those houses are going for as little as 1/5th original price. You can find a gorgeous former $1.1M home for as little as $350k from a bank or short sale. The market has also hit bottom and stabilized, so it's a perfect opportunity to buy a place as an investment. We are talking about gorgeous new homes, many with pools, amazing kitchens and bathrooms.
3) Awesome Food and Entertainment. It's Las Vegas and the food an entertainment is spectacular. There are only a few places in the Country that has better food (New York, LA, SF) and many of the top restaurants have a version in Las Vegas now. There is also always something to do, and as a local resident if you want to save money, you can sometimes get great prices for tickets last minute. There's always something to do.
One of the least known things about Las Vegas is that it's perfect both for singles and families. We were worried when we first started researching Vegas that there would be nothing to do for our 2-year-old son. However, we found that there was amazing preschool facilities that were better prices for high quality education than our current locale. Additionally, there are tons of kids activities, museums, hikes and much more to do. Obviously, there is also a lot for us to do while the kid is at school!
Consider moving to Las Vegas if you are looking to save money, have fun and make a great investment.

I like Henderson which is really just a suburb of Vegas. It would be a nice change from the high taxes in California.
2012-03-28 at 12:13
Welcome to Las Vegas Pace! I agree with your article 100%. I've lived here since June of 2006. Previously lived in Los Angeles and relocated for the huge financial benefits (#1 and #2) mentioned in your article.

Other benefits include: The cheapest place to fly to and from, It's never hard to convince people to come see you in Vegas.

I've been move to Vegas, but I'm really concerned about being able to get a job there. That hasn't kept me from reading all of the guides.

I am currently in the Army as an EOD (bomb) tech. My wife works from home for a company called WMS Gaming. She wants to move to Vegas to further her career. I am deploying sometime next year and when I get back I will have about 2 years left in my contract. If things work out the way we want I will request Fort Irwin to finish my last 2 years with the Army and we will buy a house in Vegas for my wife and daughter where they will live until I joing them once I get out visiting on weekends etc…
My question is: what part of Vegas is the safest to purchase a home and feel that my wife and daughter are OK while I am gone?
2012-11-28 at 12:56
There are tons of gated communities in south west vegas that I would recommend. Mountain's Edge is one of them. Make sure it has a gate, etc. Very safe areas.
Good luck and stay safe.
2013-06-10 at 21:49
Texas and Florida are my two picks if I was to move out of Ohio but Vegas is appealing with the points that you make.

But on May 3, that picture-perfect image was shattered when Love was discovered in her Charlottesville, Va. apartment, lying facedown in a pool of blood. Police arrested Huguely, her one-time boyfriend and fellow fourth-year University of Virginia student, and quickly charged him with first-degree murder.
Now, days after Love's death, troubling details about their volatile romance are coming to light. And many people in quiet Charlottesville are asking – could her death have been prevented?
In the new issue of PEOPLE, sources say teammates, coaches and university officials may have missed warning signs. They also say Huguely – who grew up in a wealthy suburb of Washington, D.C., and remains in jail – left behind a trail of misbehavior. More troubling, students share rumors that Huguely had been previously violent with Love.
The two young people met as freshmen at UVA. Members of the men and women's lacrosse team, they were often seen socializing with teammates and a host of friends. Eventually they began a romance – which took a dark turn as early as last year, when Huguely reportedly beat up a teammate who was rumored to have kissed Love.
As authorities continue their investigation, UVA students are still reeling, asking one another whether something could have been done to save their friend.
For more about Love, Huguely and the tragic events leading up to Love's murder – and intimate family photos – pick up the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

Word has come down that not only are we going to see an HD re-release of NiGHTS (a game that I happen to share with my internet handle) but we shall see a western release of Phantasy Star Online 2 as well. You'd think I be ecstatic. You'd think I'd be bouncing off the walls. You'd think I'd be typing on my various blog and social networking sites in bold lettering "OMG THIS IS SO AWUSE! EPIC OF THE MOST EPICNESS THIS IS TOTALLY GOING TO PWN!" So that my joy would be made known given how big a fan I am with NiGHTS and Phantasy Star Online. To me this should be a dawning of a new era in gaming goodness. A return of not only an underrated game on the Saturn, but also a return to form in one of the console RPG's I played to death on the Dreamcast, Xbox and Gamecube. Even to this day I can still dig out my copy of NiGHTS and have a blast on Game Rig One: Version 2.0 or dig out my various copies of PSO for play on both Game Rig One: Version 2.0 and Game Rig Two. Yet despite the contained "enthusiasm" stated above I can't bring myself to be completely given into the hype machine that I myself could gladly get behind.
Aside from the usual real life issues that could put a damper on such news (no job, etc) I can't bring myself to fully celebrate and fully commit to a day one purchase for these titles. (Yes I know PSO2 is free-to-play so please bear with me)
Mostly this is due to the fear that despite advances in gaming, I fear something might be lost in the transition to a newer platform. That despite the game being similar to the original, it'll lose some of that magic that made it so great. The best examples I can give is how I can't bring myself to buy Crazy Taxi, Quake Arena Arcade and Virtual On: OT off XBLA. Sure they play the same and have the levels. But something is missing from them. For Crazy Taxi and Quake Arena Arcade it's the music I came to enjoy during the DC days. (I know some say it's an improvement, different tastes) For VO:OT it's a different version of the game. I know it sounds petty and mean because despite these differences the gameplay is still sound. But for the life of me I can't shake that.
And that's where my concern lies with NiGHTS and PSO2. We know Sega is doing it's best to not only retain the original feel of these game re-releases, like how Sega did all they could to retain most, if not all, of the songs in Jet Set Radio, so in that sense it shows that Sega is doing their best to make these future re-releases just as memorable as when they first came out. But with that said there's no guarantee that we'll get what we expect. Just look at Phantasy Star Universe: They updated the game from the original aspect of PSO yet at the same time it just didn't feel the same. Perhaps it was the removal of MAGs, or the complexity of combat/magic and weapon design. Either way the "magic" that kept me in playing the same levels over and over again in PSO just wasn't there with PSU. And now PSO2 will take on a different game model than what use to be associated with MMO's and instead will move to a free-to-play mechanic. As much as I'm curious to try this out, I can still remember hearing from hold hand MMORPG'ers that ended up leaving free-to-play games due to run-ins with grievers and spammers.
I know all of this is unwarranted given the advances of gaming technology. But then again I've heard of how hard it is to emulate saturn games. Yet look at all that we are suppose to get with the NiGHTS re-release. Not only enhances graphics but also the ability to play the original. Just that alone might mean I'll be playing my copy of NiGHTS on my saturn less and less.
Yet at the same time I don't see myself packing away my copy of the game anytime soon. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big, BIG fan of both game series. NiGHTS is one of those quirky titles I'm not ashamed in saying I enjoy playing, despite my usual homicidal tendencies in other games. And I can still remember the days on the DC when I'd say I'll play PSO for a couple of hours only to check the time later and find that it's early morning. Either way I hope these two games get their much needed moments in the spotlight and sell well in the long term.
Yet at the same time why can't I see myself joining the crowd of other like-minded gamers/fans in on this?
I know, I'm weird.

Parents get online help at high school
By Jamie Anfenson-Comeau
This year, Eunice High will be using technology to help parents become more involved in their children's education.
TeacherEase, an online gradebook and attendance program, was piloted at Eunice High by several teachers last year.
The response, from parents, students and faculty, was so positive, that the decision was made to go school-wide with the program this year, Eunice High librarian and English teacher Kristie McLemore said.
Eunice is the first school in the parish to adopt TeacherEase, funded through a high school redesign grant, school-wide.
The program allows teachers to send class-wide or school-wide reminders and announcements, and allows them to keep in touch with parents, provided they have the parents' email address.
"It's much better than phone calls," McLemore said. "Teachers often have very little time during their day to call, and often parents are unavailable at that time. This is a much better way to get a hold of parents quickly."
In addition, parents can log into the site, at www.teacherease.com, and can view their children's grades, homework assignments, missing work and behavior logs; the attendance portion of TeacherEase is being piloted this fall.
"As a parent myself, I love it. I can really keep a good grip on how my daughter's doing," McLemore said.
Parents can also easily email teachers regarding concerns they have.
"I think that parents, once they see it, will really like it," McLemore said. "It's really very simple, and easy to use."
All it takes is for parents to give the school an email address they can be reached at.
"A lot of the kids don't want to give their parents' email," McLemore said, adding, "We just want to make sure parents know about this and it's available. They can call me in the library or they can call the front office and give their email address. It only takes a few minutes to set up."
Students can also access their records and get a look at their grades.
"It's really popular with students too," McLemore said. "Last spring (during the pilot) they'd come into the library so they could check their grades and see how they did on their tests."

IEA Chief to CEM: Achieving a More Secure, Sustainable Energy System Requires Urgent Action
24 April 2012: In an op-ed in the British newspaper The Guardian, Maria van der Hoeven, Executive Director, International Energy Agency (IEA), writes that "achieving a more secure, sustainable energy system, in line with the goal of limiting the rise in global temperatures to 2C, is still possible but requires urgent action by the world's major governments."Highlighting that energy-related carbon dioxide emissions are at historic highs, she stresses that the world has a responsibility as well as a "golden opportunity" to act.
Underscoring progress made on renewable energy technologies, in particular on wind and solar power, she highlights, however, that more needs to be done on carbon capture and storage (CCS), vehicle-fuel efficiency, and the reduction of coal in the energy mix. Van der Hoeven also calls on the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) to encourage investment, innovation and reform in the energy sector, recommending accelerating energy innovation and public support for research, development and demonstration; unlocking the potential of energy efficiency through the implementation of IEA's 25 energy efficiency policy goals; and leveling the playing field for clean energy technologies, including through removing fossil fuel subsidies.
