Thanks for helping!
While on a small get away trip to Lübeck my wife and I visited Ristorante Ecco. We had lasagna, pizza, and tiramisu. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. Moreover prices are reasonable.
We arrived without a booking. The staff were friendly and very attentive. They catered very well for our dietary requirements (vegan).
We had salad with brötchen (bread balls), Spaghetti Neapolitana and Arabiatta for the main course and Mango sorbet for dessert. All delicious. Had we given them some notice they told us that even more of the menu could have...
Dropped by without reservation a busy saturday evening; they quickly found us a table next to the kitchen which was quite okay. We had bruschette for starters (why is it that bruschette and crostini are confused even in Italian restaurants?) and filetto di manzo with Gorgonzola sauce for main course. The quite small bruschette were okay, but I could easily...
Reasonably priced average quality food.
Cannelloni with spinach - average commercial tasting filling.
Pasta with broccoli - 'scotto' (pasta way overcooked).
Best part of the meal was the mozzarella di bufala salad with rocket and tomato, but that's not really cooking! Mozzarella was good.
The words 'fatta in casa' were dotted around the place here but don't be fooled.

From the Ann Arbor News, Pfizer summit set up:
More than 60 local leaders are being invited to a private summit Monday to begin a coordinated effort to respond to the decision by Pfizer Inc. to close its Ann Arbor facilities.
Invitations signed by University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman, Ann Arbor Mayor John Hieftje, and Ann Arbor Spark CEO Michael Finney were sent Wednesday to leaders of local businesses, government entities and universities. Organizers expect representatives of Pfizer to also attend.
Key topics on the agenda are how to encourage the 2,160 affected Pfizer employees to stay in the area and what should become of the company's property, which includes 177 acres and significant laboratory spaces off Plymouth Road in northeast Ann Arbor.
Organizers are calling the meeting a brainstorming session, and expect to hold more in the coming weeks. It's not open to the public, though organizers will hold a news conference afterward.
U-M spokeswoman Kelly Cunningham said the closed doors are necessary "to encourage frank discussion.''
The News didn't name the local leaders, but I'll print a list if anyone comes up with one.
I saw the Mayor at Sweetwaters Kerrytown, which is the Pure Visibility coffee shop of record. He didn't recognize me, and I didn't initially recognize him - he didn't have his usual smile.
"Summit" is in context an odd word to use. "Pfizer summit" on Google returns this news from Lee's Summit, Missouri, about another shuttered Pfizer facility (from the Kansas City Business Journal)
Pfizer Inc. said Friday that it has officially ended a two-year global effort to sell its Lee's Summit manufacturing plant and that it now plans to demolish the building.
The 271,000-square-foot building is east of Missouri Highway 291 and south of U.S. Highway 50.
Production at the plant will cease in December, the New York City-based company (NYSE: PFE) said in a release. The company said it then plans to remove the building's equipment and other assets early next year and demolish it by the end of 2007.
That site required some special treatment because of production of penicillin which, while not creating a classic brownfield situation, did make the place unusable for production of some drugs; they switched to all animal medicine manufacture at the end.
One of the topics at today's a2b3 lunch (weekly noonish at Eastern Accents on Fourth Ave) was an open question at the table on how the Pfizer closing was going to affect people personally. One person was job hunting because their contracting company did a lot of Pfizer work. Another was happy that they had gotten out of the real estate business. A few folks considered whether this might be something that would create some contract or consulting work for them in the short run as people who were pfired started up their own businesses and needed services.

Mike's an animal. He's a real person,that will go to bat for you.
At first he seemed a little docile however, that not the case he did what I wanted and made several seemingly easy convictions disappear. Multiple A misdemeanour's, violations, orders of protection all completely disappear. No Jail, No fines, No more court orders, just complete relief and justice.
I strongly recommend this attorney for any criminal matter.
He has been defending slews of charges against me for a few years now. In which all were completely and systematically defeated. THIS IS YOUR GUY!!!!!!!
He's currently handling an appeal against Schenectady police for me and I'll get back to you on the success of that?
Posted by John
Hired Mr Brosnan for an appeal for my daughter 7/24/09 he stated he had filed for court transcripts more than once and put a call in to stenographer with no responce. I called another attorney who spoke to the stenographer within one hour of our conversation, and the stenographer stated she had no requests for the transcripts from Mr Brosnan and resented that he was saying she would not respond to his requests.I terminated Mr Brosnan 10/20/09 and the new attorney has the transcripts being processed and expects them soon. I would call once a week and hardley ever was able to reach this man and when I did he always acted bothered and told me he would call me when he had news.
My daughter has been in prison waiting for good news this man is not it.

Michael is an honest, hard-working attorney. He will keep you informed and up to date with your case and explain what is going on whenever you ask him. He does such good work, that I sent my mom to him when she needed an attorney.

Ripoff Report
American Management Services- OrlandoOrlando, Florida United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
American Management Services- Orlando http://www.amserv.com/ Failed to act as a responsible employer! Orlando, Florida
Not sure who wrote this or how to respond….our business is very challenging and not for everyone. Our 100+ employees that currently work with and for us embrace our culture and the great things we attempt to accomplish each day. Also, Ripoff Report emailed this customer so the member business could make things right with them. They never responded to Ripoff Reports request to help them. When a business joins the Corporate Advocacy Program, Ripoff Report emails everyone from the past so the member business can make things right with them. Of course, everything within reason.
This was the worst employment experience.
The Company abuses its employees via verbal and unrealistic time demands. In addition I was unable to get my travel reimbursement @ .20 per mile as promised . The training was completely inadequate and bumbling at best. You must completely memorize a 6 page spiel of crap BEFORE you even start! 6 pages called THE INSTITUTIONAL They make up their own jargon which no client or new hire would understand. CONSUMERS BE AWARE they bill at almost $500 per hour!
The trainer was completely rediculous and incompetent. A washed up ANALYST. With all their technology they had us view training videos on a 15" laptop in the managers hotel room. They couldnt figure how to hook it up during the day at their corporate headquarters. DON'T WAIST YOUR TIME OR MONEY-
In training, the mysterious Sr VP ( Chris) [who graced us with his presence] likes to throw out his profanity to intimidate the new and current employees... they even admit their weakest link is training. If they cant do that right...how can they fix your business...they cant fix theirs!
The HR Manager SEAN IS A GREAT GUY floating IN A SEA OF SHARKS! I forgot they bought us pizza and would not pay for our meals!! Only the food the hotel had and the pittance of cold subs or pizza for lunch.

#1 UPDATE Employee
the goal of AMS is to help the client
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, July 22, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, July 22, 2014
I strongly disagree with the comments you have made about AMS.
Yes, like any other company AMS has internal issues and problems, but overall it is a good company. The main goal of AMS is to help its struggling clients. We may disagree with the philosophy and strategy of AMS, but regardless of our opinion the company has managed to be successful ,and provided assistance to thousands of then struggling and now happy clients. The testimonials are offered to support my claim on their website. And if someone is personally unhappy with the AMS, it should not become his or her primary agenda to provide negative and destructive feedback to services the company offers. I personally disagree with the management style of Chris Mosca , but it has nothing to do with company's aim to help small and mid-sized struggling businesses. AMS provides value to its clients, and it is totally up to the business owner to make the decision pertaining AMS's engagement. The company makes it clear in the beginning of the process that the client can choose to fix problems on their own or to ask for help.
P.S. My name is Savely Barkan and I had resigned from the company today.No one can accuse me of writing this letter while working for AMS in order to be promoted or being paid for.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 UPDATE EX-employee responds
What a Laughable Company Response!
SUBMITTED: Sunday, January 05, 2014POSTED: Sunday, January 05, 2014
I almost laughed out loud when I read the AMS response.
First of all, it's interesting to see that former AMS Sales Boss (and I believe that he was also a VP), Gary Antonino has now been released from federal prison after his 87 month sentence for bank fraud and money laundering, etc. This was the person that personally handled my "training", by the way.
Let me summarize the "AMS Experience" ... I was sent on appointments that were based on the AMS phone room staff's misrepresentations, the vast majority of my assigned "potential clients" had expected someone else altogether to show up and they were led to believe that i was a representative of the US Council (Conference?) of Mayors (I may have the name partially incorrect but the entities wer real, we weren't!) ... One appointment consisting of a round trip of roughly 300 miles resulted in my getting booted out of an office altogether!, and by the way, at that time, your gas expenses were reimbursed (after you chased the money down and then waited on it) at the rate of $.20 a mile after some point was reached.
Their promises weren't kept, my sales manager made numerous appointments to meet me at potential client offices and stood me up on every single one and the Company was simply ridiculous to work with. I believe that one person from my "class" made it past three months.
So Lou, give it a rest, perhaps you've reached the dangerous point where you've begun to believe the spiel by now, the facts (and my pages of faxed / emailed appointment notes from your phone room floor) pretty well refute that across the board.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Audi displayed an A8 sedan with headlights that see around corners and light up more space without blinding approaching motorists. It won't be long before European customers can buy this model with this feature. American fans would be dismayed to know that these headlights can't be used in the U.S. because a 45-year-old regulation disallows their use on U.S. roads.
When interviewed, Stephan Berlitz, Audi's head of lighting innovations, said that in the last 10-15 years, the lighting technology has changed radically. He said that this regulation from 1968 makes it hard to do all these innovations. Audi is one of the automakers and lighting makers that are working to get this rule changed.
With the self-adjusting Audi lights, there could be no difference between low- and high-beam settings. Representatives from around the industry are getting ready to meet with U.S. regulators as a move forward to revising this standard. Throughout many years, this headlight rule has received updates. It's actually one of the oldest rule in U.S. car safety; it's even older than the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which was created in 1970. Since then, headlight technology has progressed. From sealed beams, halogen arrived. This was then followed by xenon and later to LEDS or light-emitting diodes.
NHTSA officials are open to new technology but they're not entirely sure that LED lights enhance safety. In the agency's report that came out last month, it said that there were more rear-end collisions in majority of models that made the switch from incandescent lamps to LED brake lighting. The Matrix-beam headlights from Audi will first be offered as optional on the A8, which has a starting price of 70,000 euros in Germany.
Brad Stertz, a U.S.-based Audi spokesman, said that it's expected that the lights will be offered in non-U.S. locations by 2014. These headlights mark the first use of multiple LEDs to permit drivers to basically have their high beams on all the time. Due to the use of cameras and sensors, the LEDs are directed to dim or to turn off depending on what's in front of them. This means that visibility is improved due to the changing series of lights and shadows.

Chapter 2: part 1
Strange visions. Such strange, strange places. Magic and darkness, demons and angels. Strange.
It felt like she had been drowning, sinking lower and lower into the murkiness of the water. After a period of time, it could have been hours, it could have been weeks, she glimpsed the first ray of light. It reached her through the murkiness, and she gripped onto it, holding so tightly she felt she would burst. She pulled herself up by it, and it was joined by more rays of light, more and more, until finally, she'd pulled herself out of the sea of darkness.
Maya gasped, a ragged sudden gasp, as though she couldn't get enough air in, as if she really had been drowning. Black spots dotted her vision, and her insides felt as if someone had shoved a red hot poker inside her, and prodded at her heart. She looked around, and as her sight came back to her, the first thing she noticed was the raven, sat on the couch beside her. When it noticed she was awake, it fluttered backwards, onto Leonardo's shoulder, he was sat opposite where she lay, in the same seat he had been in when they began the ritual. His face looked older, wearier, with dark circles under his eyes.
Maya pulled herself up, but her insides protested so violently that she fell back down, retching. "Don't try and move." Leonardo's voice commanded her, he sounded almost sad. "You've been in and out for two days, muttering stuff. It must all be very overwhelming, very confusing. Do not try to embrace it all at once." He stood up, and she saw him wince as he did so.
"Are you alright?" Maya's voice came out as a croaking whisper, she coughed.
He smiled wearily at her. "Don't worry about me, after nearly three hundred and fifty years of immortality and power, it really gets to you, being mortal." She tried to say more, but ended up choking and rolled onto her side. "I must leave now Maya, I will leave you instructions of what to do when you awake, but you must sleep now. The ritual... damaged you somewhat. You must rest it off before finding the court." He moved to leave, pausing before he left the room. "Maya, you are very brave, and I wish the best for you. In answer to one of your earlier questions, we have met before, I believe you still have the photo of you and your father that I took. Goodbye and good luck." He said, before turning and leaving the apartment.
Maya clawed round to call out to him. But as she opened her mouth, the tides came in, washing over her and pulling her back out to sea.
When she opened her eyes again, she waited, muscles tensed, for the tide to drag her away again. Nothing. She waited, before finally realising that it was over. Maya sat upright gingerly, her head span slightly, but other than that, the worst was over. She looked around, shaking the sleep out of her head. There was a note and an item sat on her coffee table.
She picked up the note first.
Maya, you have been incredibly honourable and brave to accept my Whitelight, now you must continue your journey without my aid. I will have left this world by the time you read this, but that is of no matter to you now. I have sent a message to the Court, they will send someone to collect you within forty eight hours and bring you to the Court. You may not return for some time. You must continue from there. Train, learn new things, how to control, how to wield. You will be of great importance some day, but for now, focus on what matters to you.
Best wishes and regards, Leonardo Strovinski
She traced the words as she read, trying to take it in. Next to his extravagantly swirled signature was a stamp, a maze of swirling lines that crossed intricately.
'You will be of great importance someday' What the heck did that mean? Maya looked back at the coffee table, and picked up the other object laying there. It was a feather, a small, silver feather, she jumped as it wrapped itself around her wrist, and she was momentarily scared that it might be some sort of curse when she realised that it was a bracelet. She reached out and stroked it, it was cool and smooth, the feather markings sculpted on beautifully.
It was as she was getting up to make coffee that she noticed the raven. It was lying on the countertop, its wings spread out around it, motionlessly, peacefully dead.

Tune in to FOX Sports Florida today at 5:30 to see the Panthers host the Ducks. (NHL Panthers territory). The Anaheim Ducks have put 2011 behind them and hope it's not too late to make a push for a postseason spot. If the Florida Panthers fail to win their division, they might find themselves on the outside looking in. Anaheim looks to earn a point for the ninth consecutive game Sunday night when it visits Florida, which has lost two straight to see its Southeast lead threatened. The Ducks (24-24-10) have gone 14-3-4 since the calender turned to move into contention for a Western Conference playoff berth. They fell 3-2 in a shootout at New Jersey on Friday, but extended their point streak (5-0-3) to eight games, including a 3-0-2 start to an eight-game road trip. Ryan Getzlaf appeared to score in overtime off an assist from defenseman Luca Sbisa, but the referees concluded Getzlaf used a kicking motion. Sbisa said Anaheim knows what's at stake during the final part of the season. "A big part of (the recent hot streak) is confidence, but we were in a similar position last year and we somehow managed to battle through it," Sbisa told the team's official website. "A few weeks back we started realizing that if we want to make the playoffs, we need to make a push. With it happening last year, we kind of have that experience and we know how to handle games at this time of the year." Jonas Hiller made his 17th consecutive start and has gone 11-2-4 with a 1.79 goals-against average in that span. He's won both of his career starts with one shutout and a 1.50 GAA against Florida, which is coming off a 2-1 loss to Washington on Friday. The Panthers (27-19-11) fell 6-2 to Ottawa in the opener of their four-game homestand on Wednesday, then were outshot 41-23 in a lackluster effort against the Capitals, who picked up two key points to get closer to Florida. In the weak Southeast, those could be the difference between being the East's No. 3 seed and being out of the playoffs entirely. "When you have a lead you at least want a point out of it, but we found a way to lose tonight," leading scorer Kris Versteeg said. "It's a regular-season game, obviously, two teams trying to get to the playoffs, it was definitely an intense game." The Panthers took six penalties. "We got into penalty trouble in the third and couldn't stave off all those opportunities they were given," coach Kevin Dineen said. "That was the difference in the hockey game." Jose Theodore made 39 saves starting in place of Scott Clemmensen, who allowed four goals on 16 shots before being pulled midway through the second period in the loss to Ottawa. It is unclear who will start Sunday, though Theodore has won his last three starts with a 1.95 GAA versus Anaheim. Hiller made 29 saves while Getzlaf and Corey Perry each had a goal and an assist in a 5-3 win over Florida on Dec. 1, 2010. Perry has a goal in four straight games against the Panthers, while Getzlaf has scored in three of those. The Panthers have won four of five in the series.

Britain's Joice Maduaka produced one of the best performances of her life here last night, missing out on a bronze medal by two-hundredths of a second in a 100 metres final where Kim Gevaert, of Belgium, completed the first part of what she hopes will be a sprint double.
The 32-year-old Londoner would surely have been standing on the podium but for an awful start, but had to settle for fourth place in 11.24sec as two Russians, Yekaterina Grigoryeva and Irina Khabarova, took silver and bronze respectively, both clocking 11.22.
Maduaka's semi-final victory in 11.32sec had raised medal hopes, although she was only the sixth fastest qualifier. It was nevertheless a sterling performance from the woman who works full-time as a press officer for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, given that she was dropped from Lottery funding this year and not selected for the Commonwealth Games.
A double victory at the European trials had indicated that she was thriving under the new coaching input of Thomas Johnson, an American Pentagon employee. Maduaka and Johnson keep in touch by exchanging e-mails while Ron Roddan oversees her training in England.
"At the finish I realised I was fourth and I tried to stop the tears," the British No 1 said. "But actually I am really proud of myself. I have come so far in such a short space of time."
Tim Benjamin was left wondering once again what might happen if he could reach a major championship fully fit. The 23-year-old Briton has made a slow recovery from the hip problems that stopped him contesting the Commonwealth Games five months ago, and had struggled to reach last night's 400m final.
Benjamin could reach only sixth place in 45.89sec as France's Marc Raquil won gold in 45.02. How the Briton must have longed for just one of the cluster of sub-45sec races he produced last season.
"I'm gutted," Benjamin said. "I would have been able to win that race if I hadn't had the problems I've had. But you will see it all come together one day."
Jan Zelezny has won three Olympic and three world javelin titles, but he will retire never having won a European gold.
The 40-year-old Czech was taking part in his last big meeting here, and was seeking to complete his championship record, but an effort of 85.92 metres only merited bronze behind the Norwegian who won with 88.78m, Andreas Thorkildsen. On balance, Zelezny will probably be able to live with it.Reuse content

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Crane clothing is the brand sold at Aldi shops throughout the UK and since the beginning of the year I've bought both running and cycling gear all of which is of the highest quality with stay dry technology but have come at a fraction of the cost of the big brands. My last set of cycling clothing, top, jacket, glasses and shorts can in at under £50. Whilst I realise the comfort some people get from the big brands, can I suggest if your after some training gear that the Crane line is well worth a try. A running t-shirt with staydry technlogy is on average about £6 shorts about a £5
The only downside is that they only release the sports clothing a couple of times a year which can mean a mad dash to the shop early on a Thursday to make sure that I can have a decent selection. As the other downside is that sometimes they can have limited stock. However from speaking to an Aldi manager they intend to increase supply and frequency as they have been surprised how well their sports stock has taken off.
Well worth keeping an eye out for
Good quality kit.
Just tried out a new vest today and its the business for wicking sweat away.
I've got a few bits of Crane kit and I've never had any complaints.
Shame that there aren't any reviews on either the website or magazine.
If there were maybe that would help get Aldi to stock them more regulary
it's because Aldi don't stock them all year round, that they can do the prices that they offer.
They are able top bulk purchase on big shipment, get it sent in store in one go. And don't have the hassle of trying to re order when a size goes out of stock, trying to offer various options of colours and technical 'ability'.
They don't purchase much in the either very small or extra large sizes.
They don't have to employ staff to help give customers advice on fitting, breath ability & water 'proof-ness'.
bit like a running/bike/triathlon/camping/skiing shop does.
Understand your points but they do sell good quality stuff and very reasonable prices which in the current climate I'm apprecaite of.
I'm not really a big brand buyer and I find the Crane stuff good value and I just feel that they would be worth an occasional mention in the review sections of the RW website or magazine.
Most people who buy the Crane brand know that when its in stock its normally gone ina couple of days and I've been to Aldi on a Thursday morning to see people with arms full of the stuff so it must be worth a mention
Agree with the comments about the shoes, I think thats one area were it does pay to go with a big brand although if you shop carefully you can normally pick up a bargin. ie Factory shops
I've got a couple of bits and agree they're perfectly adequate for your average run (or cycle).
The only issue I had was with the zip at the neck of a long sleeved top that sticks halfway occasionally, but given that I got it for a pound off their sale rail I can't grumble at that.
Does anyone know how to get gear reviews submitted. As I'm happy to do a review but cannot find any links
Just purchased both long sleeved top and trousers for running in cooler weather oh and socks all from aldi by crane.
Apart from lack of pocket and a zip on the trouser bm that failed, am seriuously impressed.
Survived a fairly wet 8k fett, dry and warm, top damp not sweaty legs warmed quickly once rain and wind stopped.
Heading back tomorrow see if can get any more.
Aldi gear is great!!!
Some of their stuff isn't as good quality as it used to be but it's still excellent value for money. I'm still running in ALDI tights that are at least 5 years old now and yes they look tatty and threadbare but they still do the job. Bought myself a pair of cycling armwarmers last week; I'm wearing them for running too and they're brilliant!
Even better - they're about the only brand of running clothing without labels. If like me you have serious tactile issues these are a lifesaver !!
The Crane clothing at Aldi is really good quality. I had a Crane jacket for running in and it lasted several years.

Silverlight 2 gives you the ability to create your own controls. The term custom control has been thrown around a lot in the Silverlight community, but it's not always clear what that means. Here are my thoughts.
There are three types of controls that you can create:
· User controls
· Templatable controls
· Everything else
In my opinion, the list above is ordered from easiest to create to hardest, in terms of time and required knowledge. This post will attempt to explain what each type is and when it is useful.
User Controls
User controls inherit from the UserControl class. If you've created a Silverlight project in Visual Studio (or Blend), you might have noticed that the root element of the page.xaml file is <UserControl>. Because UserControl is the most common class that acts as the root of Silverlight applications, I consider the UserControls to be self-contained, almost "black box" entities. There are very few ways that an application can programmatically interact with the UserControl, unless the control author explicitly adds functionality by defining methods or properties that the application author can call or set.
The UserControl class inherits from the Control class and defines one meaningful property, Content, which is protected. The Content property is populated when the control author "builds" the UserContol. In the overly simple XAML that follows, the StackPanel that is the child element of the UserControl becomes the value of the UserControl's Content property.
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<TextBlock FontSize="18″ Text="Enter your name."/>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
First Name:
<TextBox Name="firstName"/>
You cannot easily get to the elements within the user control. (You can get to them, but the UserControl class isn't designed to be used that way.) Likewise, application authors who use the control shouldn't change the control's contents. That is, if a UserControl is added to an application, the application cannot change what's inside of it. This is why I think of UserControls primarily as black boxes. An application can interact with or change the UserControl only if the UserControl author adds such functionality.
In fact, I consider the UserControl to be more restrictive than the other controls that inherit from the Control class. Why? Because the Control class defines the Template property. This property allows applications to restructure the appearance of a control. Here is an example that creates a new ControlTemplate for a CheckBox. For more information about creating ControlTemplates, see Customizing the Appearance of an Existing Control by Creating a ControlTemplate. Although the UserControl inherits from Control, you cannot set the Template property of a UserControl. If you try to do so, an exception is thrown. Because of this, I consider UserControls less functional than even the controls that ship with Silverlight. This also brings us to the next type of control, the templatable control.
Templatable Controls
A templatable is any control that inherits from the Control class or any of its subclasses other than UserControl. When you create a templatable control, you enable application authors to customize your control's appearance beyond just setting properties. Creating a Control That Has a Customizable Appearance explains the practices you should follow when you create a templatable control, so I'm not going to explain how to create a templatable control here. However, I will mention a couple key points:
1. When you create a templatable control, you define the control's appearance in its Template property. Building a template is much like building anything else in Silverlight. Here is an example of the control with the same appearance as the UserControl.
<Style TargetType="src:SimpleTemplatableControl">
<Setter Property="Template">
<ControlTemplate TargetType="src:SimpleTemplatableControl">
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<TextBlock FontSize="18″ Text="Enter your name."/>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
First Name:
<TextBox Name="firstName"/>
Now someone can change how the control looks.
2. The control's appearance can be customized in tools like Expression Blend if you follow the Parts and States model. Essentially, the parts and states model specifies that you use a ControlTemplate to define a control's appearance, and specifies what parts need to be included in the ControlTemplate. In the preceding example, someone might want to provide a new ControlTemplate, but the Control might rely on there being a TextBox called firstName in the template. The parts and states model specifies how a control author communicates that requirement and is explained in Creating a Control That Has a Customizable Appearance.
Everything Else
Controls that don't inherit from Control or UserControl fall into this category. It's important to keep this in mind because the Control class is where ControlTemplates are introduced. Elements such as Canvas and StackPanel don't have ControlTemplates, so you can't customize their appearance the way you can for controls like CheckBox and Button. Sometimes you might need to create a special control when adding elements to a Template or to the Content of a UserControl isn't sufficient. That's very valid, but realize that if you write a control that inherits from Panel, you are not creating a templatable control.
"Custom" Controls Revisited
I deliberately did not use the term "custom control" to describe one of the three categories because lately I have come to feel that the term is not meaningful enough. After all, one could argue that every time you build a control, you are creating a custom control. I've found a couple of blogs where control authoring has been divided into two categories: user controls and custom controls where anything that is not a user control is a custom control. I think it's important to divide the controls further into the three categories that I've discussed here.
Because each scenario is different, it is hard to give concrete advice about which decision is best, but I'd start with looking at whether an existing control has similar functionality, and inherit from that, regardless of what category the control falls into. For example, if you want your control to contain another UIElement, consider using the ContentControl. A ContentControl can contain any type of object–StackPanel, Button, String, DateTime, a custom CLR object–anything! The advantage of using a ContentControl over a UserControl is that the Content property is public, so applications can put anything they want to in there. A ContentControl also uses a ControlTemplate, so you can define the appearance of the control in the Template and still allow applications to add content to your control.
The one case when you might create a UserControl rather than a templatable ContentControl is if you don't want applications to change the control's appearance other than adding the content. But if you create a UserControl, you must also define the property that contains the piece that can be added by the application, because the UserControl's Content property is protected.
Hopefully, this post has shed some light on the different types of controls you can make in Silverlight, what the differences are, and which type of control you should create for your particular situation.

PORSCHE DRIVERS CAPTURE BOTH POLE POSITIONS FOR SATURDAY'S 2006 ROLEX 24 HOURS AT DAYTONA; PORSCHE SEEKS 21ST OVERALL AND 60TH CLASS WIN AT DIS DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - January 26 - Two drivers familiar to American road racing fans, and two former...
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - January 26 - Two drivers familiar to American road racing fans, and two former winners of the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona, have secure pole positions for their Porsche teams for this year's big event.
Lucas Luhr, the German driver now living in Monaco, and GT class winner in the Petersen/White Lightning Porsche 911 GT3 RS in 2001, survived a Pontiac and Lexus Riley onslaught to put the Alex Job Racing Shred-it Porsche Crawford on the pole with a speed of 123.220 miles-per-hour around the 3.56-mile Daytona International Speedway high banking and road course for Saturday's 44th running of the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona.
The Alex Job Porsche Crawford, powered by a 3.8-liter version of the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR engine, will be driven in the race by Luhr along with Patrick Long, of Las Vegas and Mike Rockenfeller, another German driver now living in Monaco. Luhr/Rockenfeller/Long were fastest during the Rolex test session the beginning of the month, and have been consistently among the top three in every session. Luhr beat out the Pontiac Riley that won the raced here a year ago, by 3.7 seconds. The Riley was being driven by sports car veteran Max Angelelli.
"The car was really good and the weather conditions could not have been better for our pole run," said Luhr. "I went out early and was with some fast cars that were behaving and was able to turn a pretty good time. A few laps later when my tires really started to come in I was held up by a couple of guys, I had a few more tenths in the car and I really would have liked to get back into the 43s but the pole time of 1:44.009 is a good result. The team has put a lot of work into this car since they received it in November. Since my first laps in this new car I have been really comfortable, it is easy to drive fast and the Porsche power will be very helpful with all of the traffic come Saturday. We need to focus on getting a good setup on the car so we can maximize our opportunities in traffic."
Other Porsche-powered Daytona Prototypes included the Brumos Racing Porsche of Joao Barbosa/JC France/Hurley Haywood/Ted Christopher (12th); the RX.com/Synergy Racing Porsche Doran of Patrick Huisman/Brian Frisselle/Burt Frisselle/Clint Field (13th), and the Red Bull Brumos Porsche Fabcar of David Donohue/Darren Law/Sascha Maassen (16th).
In the GT class, Porsches took the top three spots, led by last year's GT winter, Wolf Henzler from Germany, who piloted his Tafel Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, type 997, around the speedway at 113.080 miles-per-hour. Henzler, who will share the driving chores with Robin Liddell/Johannes van Overbeek/Graham Rahal, edged the second Tafel Racing Porsche team car of team owner Jim Tafel, Andrew Davis, Charles Espenlaub, Eric Lutz, and Michael Cawley, by less than three-tenths of a second. Third was the Farnbacher Loles Red Bull Porsche 911 GT3 Cup of Dirk Werner/Philip Peter/Dieter Quester/Luca Riccitelli.
The top 30 spots overall (29 prototypes and the pole-sitter in GT) are locked in - the other GT cars will have to qualify again in a final session of Friday.
In Grand-Am Cup, the Porsche 911, type 996, of Craig Stanton and Mark Plummer will also start on the pole for tomorrow's 200-mile event, edging out the Foster/Pilla Mustang GT. The Eric Lutz/Chris Lutz Porsche 911 qualified third.
Complete results are available on www.grandamerican.com. The 44th annual Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona will start Saturday, January 28th, at noon EST, and will be broadcast live on the SPEED Channel network for more than 14 of the 24 hours. The first segment will air with the start of the race on Saturday at 12:00 p.m. EST and run air until 6:00 p.m., they will return at 8:00 p.m. and run until 11:00 p.m. On Sunday the show will resume at 8:00 a.m. and run the finish and post-race activities until 12:30 p.m.

quote:The report states that Tata blew a .18 percent on a breathalyzer test, more than twice legal blood-alcohol limit of .08 percent in Tennessee.
According to the report, Tata, 37, struck two parked vehicles on West End Avenue and fled the scene on foot in an attempt to avoid police. He was located several blocks away and admitted to operating the crashed vehicle. He smelled of alcohol, was unsteady on his feet and had bloodshot and watery eyes.
Tata admitted to consuming a couple of beers at a downtown bar and, during a field sobriety test, had a hard time keeping his balance. "The one leg stand had to be stopped because the suspect could not keep his balance and the risk of him falling over and injuring himself was high," the report stated.

Kid stuff: Kent and Kim McCorkle were inspired to launch BareBaby Organics after the birth of their young children, Connor and Chloe. Their adopted teenage niece, Isabel, helps with their growing family business.
With an infant and a toddler at home, Kim and Kent McCorkle were definitely in the market for baby lotion.
But they wanted only the best lotion to touch their children's skin, so they purchased organic-sounding products that looked safe. However, checking the ingredients, Kent, a 1991 chemistry alumnus, wasn't pleased with what he saw.
"Reading the ingredients, I said, 'Hey, this doesn't sound good,'" recalls Kent, who earned his Ph.D. in chemistry at Auburn in 2003. "In fact, we couldn't really find anything we were happy with."
So the McCorkle's got busy making their own premium lotion. Using the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep cosmetics database and Whole Foods' Body Care Standards, they started developing a lotion that would include only the highest-rated and safest ingredients.
"It had to be good enough for our children," says Kent, whose day job is Professor of Chemistry at MiraCosta College in Oceanside, California. "We wanted all of our ingredients to be as safe and nontoxic as possible."
After months of trial-and-error, including 27 different formulations and more than a dozen prototypes, the final result was BareBaby Organics' premium moisturizing lotion now for sale through Amazon and the BareBaby Organics website at https://www.barebabyorganics.com/.
"We just wanted to make sure we were giving our children the best stuff," Kent says.
After the first few months of sales, BareBaby Organics is receiving overwhelmingly positive customer reviews on Amazon, averaging 4.8 out of five stars. And, surprisingly for the McCorkle's, the lotion is getting a lot of use by adults, not just children.
"Reading the customer emails, social media comments, and Amazon reviews is so encouraging," Kent says. "It's amazing to know that something we created for our little ones is now helping not only babies, but toddlers, teens, moms, dads, and grandparents across the country."
