Question on Invoice Price Calculations
So I am at the point where I am ready to start e-mailing dealerships to find the best deal for an ED 330. I have determined nearly all the options I want and am trying to determine what a fair price would be for the car.
The major point of discussion always seems to be the price over invoice and what a fair price is over invoice. My question is this: is the invoice price of a particular car determined by adding up the base invoice price with the invoice price of various options? Or, is the total invoice price a combination of base price invoice and the sticker price of various options?
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on the subject.
Invoice on everything, wholesale base plus wholesale options plus $695 destination. Don't forget the $$ for metallic paint if you get it. ($430 base).
Here's the price sheet from the "Ask a Dealer" section: (wholesale prices on page 2...see Munich Pick-Up)
Also, when we were buying ours, I wrote in my email that folks were getting cars for X to 2X over invoice. I asked for a deal of 1.5X over and got it with ease from a dealer within 25-30 miles from my house. The dealer also valets a loaner to the house for any service if I want it. Great deal! Good luck with your quest! :thumbup:
In your emailing, make sure to ask the dealer to include MACO (advertising fee) in his quote. Some dealers include it and other (sneaky) dealer's do not but then "surprise" you with it later--now you know why they quoted you ~$300-400 cheaper than another dealer who included it in his quote to you.
Make no bones about it, MACO is included on the invoice sheet of all BMWs sold in the United States.
There is an excellent thread on this in the Ask a Dealer forum...spent some time browsing over there and you'll learn a lot.
And one further clarification: there is no ED discount on options. It's the same invoice price for options under either delivery approach. Only the base price is discounted.
This is a price chart I had worked up when I did my ED. The invoice price for options is definitely lower than the US MSRP or the ED MSRP.
I think Tanning meant that you don't get the options at a lower wholesale for ED vs stateside delivery.
Of course US MSRP and ED MSRP > than US Inv.
This isn't difficult. Just take the ED base (wholesale) price and add to that the ED (wholesale) price of the options you want including the $430 for mettalic paint and don't forget the destination charge. The total is ED invoice. Figure a number like 1K over ED invoice for a fair deal with the dealer. Sales tax and tags will be extra. Of course, don't forget to factor in a cost for for getting to Munich and picking up your car. Probably another grand for so or a quick in and out trip. Vacationing costs more, but you may as well take the opportunity to see a little bit of Europe, since you are going anyway, if you haven't been there before. Me, I have been numerous times, so I am going to make my trip a quick one. Will probably take an extra day or so for business purposes, but won't be using my ED vehicle while I am there.
Don't know where you live, but if you are anywhere near DC area call Joern (pronounced yearn) Esser at Passport BMW and save yourself a lot of hassle. Very straightforward and easy guy to do business with. I am in NJ and would not work with anyone else.
Good Luck.
No MACO, no training fees, etc.

The decision by the Qantas marketing team to ditch the kids singing I Still Call Australia Home as their main TV campaign was a brave call. And a stupid one.
The power of advertising to influence political outcomes is well known. Arguably, it was the anti-Work Choices ad campaign that was the final nail in
Yet the most potent expression of this nostalgia rests almost entirely on the I Still Call Australia Home creative execution.
One wonders how much more effective Joyce's pleadings would have been had those highly emotive ads been on high rotation over the past few months.
I Still Call Australia Home started in the '80s as a cheesy ad featuring a young girl returning from a trip to Disneyland. In the late '90s, the song was reprised with Kate Ceberano, James Blundell and others singing in front of overseas landmarks, before former chief exectuive
Eager to oblige, his mate
The last version was put together by former Singleton Ogilvy & Mather creative director
In 2011, Joyce put the account out to pitch. Somewhere along the way, no doubt armed with reams of pie charts and planners' pontifications, the Qantas marketing team decided to toss out Dixon's creative baby. (Alert! Readers should brace themselves for a mangled metaphor:) In doing so, they managed to sever Australia's emotional umbilical cord to the brand, at least as far as advertising goes.
"Qantas is THE brand that needs to evoke Aussie emotions," says Thomas, still incredulous they abandoned such a powerful creative asset.
In 2012 came an effort called You're the reason we fly; the brainchild of Craig Davis at Publicis Mojo.
"Qantas: Work Coming Soon"
Not long after, full creative and strategic responsibility shifted to Droga5. Based in Manhattan and founded by Aussie expat wunderkind David Droga, D5 boasts of being "the world's most exciting agency".
The Sydney office was established in 2008 under the creative auspices of former Saatchi & Saatchi ad guru David Nobay. (A wunderkind and a guru both under the same roof; no wonder Joyce couldn't resist them.)
When D5 was appointed in June 2012, it was with the "guaranteed strategic input" of New York-based Droga himself.
So what has he got in mind?
Is there a new brand campaign in the wings?
"Qantas: Work Coming Soon" is the tantalising comment on D5's website, which sounds a bit like "Flight Delayed. Announcement Soon".
Alas, it only refers to the website construction. There couldn't be a worse time to be trying to put together a fresh creative approach for the brand. With the business side of Qantas in turmoil, the majority of D5's efforts have been on the retail side.
Certainly, its Qantas Frequent Flyer campaign featuring the Mars "Curiosity" robot, which subtly reintroduced the melody of I Still Call Australia Home without the lyrics, has done the trick in terms of awareness (it's one of the most viewed Australian ads on YouTube) and effectiveness (an 8 per cent increase with the 10 millionth member imminent).
Late last year came a quasi-brand TVC built around the launch of the new uniform, that featured an uninspiring ditty by local indie band RÜFÜS, and oddly included what appeared to be a Singapore Girl who'd put on the wrong kit.
"The emotional connection is still there, under the surface," Thomas says.
"People want to like Qantas but the airline gives them nothing to like."
A Qantas spokesman says: "Our focus right now is on delivering for our customers, which is the best brand work you can do."
As David Droga jets into Sydney this month, sitting up the pointy end, will he be able to resist humming to himself I Still Call Australia Home?

With Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers in the rearview and Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin of the Philadelphia Eagles on deck, we're turning the page around here…moving on from last week's feel-good victory and looking at what should be a tough game on the road for the Giants.
Despite how bad Philly looked last week getting spanked by the Arizona Cardinals, they always show up to play Big Blue so hopefully the Giants don't get caught in a trap. Tomorrow morning we'll have our Insider post with the guys from Eagles101.com giving us a scouting report, but for now let's hear what the Giants players themselves have to say about the Eagles.
First up: Eli Manning, who sees a defense that tries to do the same old thing but in a new way.
"Probably not bringing as much pressure as they have in the past with previous defensive coordinators. But they're still very talented, and I think they have great confidence in their front four that they can get a sack without blitzing. They have very good corners and are very aggressive with their safeties. Their philosophy might have changed a little bit, but it's still all about getting to the quarterback, getting pressure on the quarterback."
Next up: Hakeem Nicks, who summed it up by saying "they know us, we know them."
"They still the same Eagles. Still got that tough mentality. Still play a lot of the same coverages."
Now, Eli's favorite target: Victor Cruz, who said it was up to him and Nicks to get off the press coverage the Eagles are sure to throw at them, and that he didn't expect the Eagles to match up Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rogers-Cromartie on a particular receiver.
"They don't discriminate. They're [just] going to put everybody out there. I don't think they're going to match us; whatever side me and Hakeem go to they're just going to play it straight up."
Cruz also said he expected much more press coverage than the Giants saw from Carolina last week. Number 80 said it was up to he and Nicks to beat the corners at the line with their athleticism.
And because we don't discriminate here at Giants101, here's defensive quarterback Michael Boley talking about Michael Vick and his early season struggles:
"Nothing's really different about him, it's just teams have been able to get some pressure on him. Anytime you get a guy moving out of the pocket, out of his comfort zone you can cause some frustration."
Boley's right that the offensive line has left Vick exposed the past few weeks and Giants fans can only hope they do it again this week. Asked if he and his defensive teammates were licking their chops, Boley played it cool.
"To an extent, but at the same time we know who they are, we know they're a good team, we know they're gonna be gunning for us."
Man, it feels like there's twelve days between Sunday's during football season…

Pros / National Debt Relief has one of the higher amounts of average reduction after fees.
Cons / This service does not offer live chat as a customer support option.
Verdict / National Debt Relief is the best choice for debt settlement with reductions up to 30 percent after service fees.
When debt becomes unmanageable and bankruptcy seems inevitable, one last option is debt settlement. National Debt Relief assists customers in tough financial situations by negotiating with creditors to help lower their total debt. With its debt reduction program, you put away money each month while the service works with your creditors. Once they come to an agreement, you pay a lump sum that is lower than your original debt, and your creditors write off the rest. Because of its low fees and stand-up business practices, we award National Debt Relief our Top Ten Reviews Gold Award for debt settlement services.
National Debt Relief offers debt settlement services to help you reduce your debt; however, this debt reduction service does not provide debt management or debt consolidation services. It charges competitive fees, so you benefit from the majority of the debt negotiation. It is accredited with the top debt associations and councils, and it has an excellent business rating.
- Customer Service
- Resources
- We calculated this score based on our experience contacting customer service.Higher is Better
Cost & Fees
On average, creditors write off around 50 percent of your debt, and this debt settlement company charges between 18 and 25 percent of the total enrolled debt. This means that you enjoy a reduction of around 30 percent of your debt. Debt settlement companies legally cannot charge advanced fees for debt settlement, and National Debt Relief complies with that law. Further, it does not charge monthly fees or account maintenance fees for its services, as some companies continue to charge. This means you pay nothing until one of your debts is settled, and the fee you pay is a portion of the settled amount rather than a set fee.
The average term for a settlement program with this service is between two and four years, which is typical in the debt relief industry. Some services advertise shorter terms, but ultimately the term depends on how much debt you have and how much you can contribute to your trust account. You have complete control over the account, though you should not remove the funds while you are participating in a settlement program, as the funds need to be available when one of your debts is settled.
When choosing a debt settlement company, the information it chooses to disclose on its website and over the phone is an indicator of the type of company it is. It is important that a company give clear and consistent information about its processes.
On its website, National Debt Relief explains the severity of debt settlement and does not refer to this process as an easy way out of debt. It is upfront and honest about the negative effects it can have on your credit as well as the fact that it may not be able to settle all of your debt. While this is not necessarily what you want to hear, it is honest, which is better than hollow promises it cannot live up to. It discloses the necessary legal information as well as its average debt reduction and the fees it charges. You also can manage your account online so you know where you stand with your settlement at all times.
Eligibility & Application
This service keeps its fees low so you see the benefits of its negotiations with your creditors. To be eligible to use this service, you must have at least $7,500 in eligible debt, which includes unsecured debt such as credit cards, store charge cards, unsecured loans and medical bills, among other debt. These debts can be personal or business debts, depending on your circumstances.
To begin the process, you receive a free consultation online to see if you qualify. Once you enroll your eligible debt, this service begins negotiating with your creditors. You begin making monthly payments into a trust account over which you have complete control; you own the money you put in and all interest accrued, and you can remove the funds at any point without penalty. Once the service and your creditors reach an agreement, those funds pay off the settled amount in one lump sum, and your creditors consider the debt repaid.
It is vital to note that the negotiations between National Debt Relief and your creditors in no way remove your responsibility for your debt, including late fees and interest. You are still responsible for the debt, and your creditors are under no obligation to accept negotiations. Be aware that creditors and collection agencies may continue to contact you and attempt to collect payments.
Customer Experience
National Debt Relief has a solid set of resources available to help you manage your debt and organize your finances. You have online and mobile account management options. You can also take advantage of the budget planner and the debt calculator to help you stay on top of your finances and your debt. The FAQs page explains debt settlement, the program and the effects of debt settlement and not paying your creditors during the process. The glossary defines jargon you might hear during the process so you can educate yourself and know what terms creditors, collectors and even National Debt Relief itself use. If you would like to contact customer service, you can reach it by phone and email. This service does not offer live chat.
When you begin service with National Debt Relief, you are assigned a personal advisor, who helps manage your account. This ensures that you will always be speaking with someone who is familiar with your situation, instead of dealing with multiple agents.
Company Accreditations
National Debt Relief is both IAPDA and AFCC accredited; it is missing accreditation from the USOBA. The IAPDA, or International Association of Professional Debt Arbitrators, is the leader in training and certifying professional arbitrators in the debt settlement world. While not a government body, it complies with federal and state legislations to ensure those whom it certifies are aware of and uphold current regulations in the industry. The AFCC, or American Fair Credit Council, is also not a government entity, but it works to advance debt settlement companies while complying with regulations enforced by the Federal Trade Commission and maintaining a high standard of ethics set out by its own code of conduct.
National Debt Relief is one of the best debt settlement companies. It charges standard fees and passes a large portion of the negotiated debt reduction on to you. While the time frame for settlement depends on your specific financial situation, the terms for settlement are typical and provide you enough time to save up the funds to pay off the reduced debt once a settlement is negotiated. The website is a great help and is open and upfront about debt settlement, which just proves the transparency of the company and is indicative of the honest service you receive from National Debt Relief.

Asia's doorstep. The work environment is relaxed and the island itself is a tropical paradise with plenty of opportunities
for outdoor fun. The cost of living here is low. When you establish residency here, there is a significant tax break on competitive
pay. The hospital would support your and your dependents' flight costs to the island.

The Natural Eyeshadow Palette by NYX
I don't often do reviews of products I'm disappointed with. I know I should because people need to hear what doesn't work just as much as they need to know when something's worth the hype. There's not much hype around this product that I know of, but if there is, I don't understand it because I was super let down.
I swatched this palette in pairs. The left-hand swatch of each shadow is just the shadow, and the right-hand is the shadow over this primer from NYX. I use this primer when I really want my eye makeup to last, and for some of these colors, it's the only way to make them register at all as far as pigmentation.
The brush that came with the palette is useless, so these are just put on with my fingers. As you can see, the first two barely show up even with primer. You're supposed to us these as highlighters, but I usually skip them because I can't see them. The second shadow is more pale yellow/gold and has shimmer, and I really don't go for glitter in my eye shadow.
The last four are okay, but you really can't skip the primer or else they go on translucent. Even with primer, 3 and 4 had to be swiped on two or three times for full color payoff. I like the shade number 5, but since there are no names on the palette I don't know if it's a color NYX offers in a single. Number 6 has decent color payoff without the primer, but with it it's even darker.
Overall these are hard to blend and don't last through the whole day (with the exception of 5 and 6 with primer), and the first two are so light that they don't even count to me. I basically held onto this palette so I could one day do a review about how much I regretted buying it. There are so many high-end neutral eyeshadow palettes out right now (like all the Naked ones from Urban Decay), and I'm not saying you NEED to spend that kind of money, but if you're looking to go cheap, skip this one and pray you have better luck than I did. I have several single NYX shadows that I love, so the brand itself is still one I love, but this one's a bad apple.

New Breed Archery Genetix
Does anyone have one of these bows? I am thinking about trading my boat for one! He says its bottomed out at 66# and its shooting around 320 with a 29 inch draw. Any info would be great. I am really wanting to know if it is a quiet and accurate bow. Shooting over 300fps is just a bonus. Also, if anyone knows, can you order different cams to shoot 70# and a 30 inch draw? I would prefer a bow that has a 30 inch draw so I don't have to shoot a long loop and want a bow thats pulling 70#. Thanks again guys.

The Gamecocks are led by senior Juliette Thevenin, the SEC Player of the Week on Sept. 23, who has registered a team-high 408 kills on a 4.86 kills per set rate. No other USC player has more than 200 kills on the year. Sophomore Darian Dozier ranks second with 176 kills with a team-best .318 hitting clip in addition to posting 99 blocks, a team high. Redshirt sophomore Kellie McNeil has directed the offense with 834 assists while posting 77 blocks. Junior libero Michae Christiaansen has knotted 15 service aces and 329 digs, both team highs.

LSU's league wins include Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Arkansas. Before coming to Lexington, the Tigers travel to Georgia for a Friday night outing.
The Tigers are led by former UK head coach Fran Flory, in her 16th season as head coach in Baton Rouge. The 2009 SEC and AVCA South Region Coach of the Year, she has led LSU to six NCAA Tournament berths in the last eight seasons and a SEC title in 2009. Flory was head coach of the Wildcats from 1993-1997, where she led Kentucky to a 29-4 record and an NCAA appearance in her first season. She left UK with a 78-80 record.
Going into the weekend, LSU is led by Briana Holman, who has been named the SEC Player of the Week once and the Freshman of the Week twice this season. The freshman has 246 kills with a .330 hitting clip in addition to 130 blocks, all team highs. Junior Malorie Pardo has directed the offense with 921 assists in addition to 15 service aces. Sophomore Katie Lindelow leads the squad with 27 aces, while Haley Smith has notched a Tigers-best 302 digs.
Kentucky has a 32-23 record all-time against LSU, including a 16-6 mark in Lexington. The Tigers claimed last year's only contest, 3-1 in Baton Rouge. After not playing from 2006-08, the two teams have met just once each season since 2009. The last time the two squads played twice in one season was 2000.
Behind the blistering offensive performance from senior right side hitter Whitney Billings, Kentucky claimed a 3-0 (25-13, 25-22, 25-23) win at South Carolina on Oct. 13. Billings ignited for 18 kills and added 10 digs for her 38th career double-double effort in the win.
USC's Juliette Thevenin entered the match ranking eighth nationally in kills per set and was limited to just nine by UK's defense, who registered 11 blocks on the night.
Billings was the difference maker for UK as she tossed down her 18 hammers on a blazing .484 hitting percentage. Five other Wildcats logged five or more kills with junior Lauren O'Conner notching six. Senior Alexandra Morgan, freshman Anni Thomasson and sophomores Morgan Bergren and Sara Schwarzwalder all had five. Bergren had 40 assists in the three-set win and led the offense to a .287 hitting clip.
UK split its two-match series with LSU last season, with a 3-2 loss on Sept. 21 before a 3-0 sweep at home on Oct. 21.
Despite career-high dig totals from Stephanie Klefot and Jackie Napper, UK suffered a heartbreaking 3-2 (25-21, 22-25, 17-25, 25-20, 15-11) loss at LSU in 2012's first meeting. Klefot matched a career-high with 29 kills and Napper topped the 20-dig plateau for the first time in her career in the loss to highlight the day for the Wildcats.
Exactly a month later, UK used a 16-6 run to close out the third set in a 3-0 (25-18, 25-19, 25-22) home sweep of LSU. Whitney Billings tallied her 23rd career double-double effort with team highs in kills (16) and digs (14) to lead the way for the Blue and White.
Billings provided a dynamic showing in all phases of the match and also posted team-high totals in hitting percentage (.400) and blocks (5) to lead the charge. Lauren O'Conner notched 14 kills on .281 hitting and setter Christine Hartmann had a double-double with 40 assists and 13 digs.
LAST TIME OUT: AT ARKANSAS & nO. 7 MIZZOURI
Kentucky posted a 3-1 victory at Arkansas to open November before a 3-0 defeat at seventh-ranked Missouri on Nov. 3.
On the strengths of 15 blocks for the second consecutive match, and a balanced offensive attack, UK posted a 3-1 (25-21, 22-25, 25-16, 25-18) win at Arkansas Nov. 1. After a pair of close, back-and-forth sets to begin the match, the Wildcats closed out the contest over the Razorbacks with two strong frames for a 3-1 win.
Offensively, Kentucky posted 59 kills, tied for the third-highest total this season and the most in a four-set contest. The Wildcats hit .388 and held the Razorbacks to 52 kills and a .197 hitting clip. UK servers notched four service aces, including one that was the winner in the first set. Kentucky had a 52-45 edge in digs and limited UA to two aces.
The Wildcats were led by senior Whitney Billings' 16 kills on a .407 hitting clip with nine digs and five blocks. She was followed closely behind by fellow senior Alexandra Morgan, who notched 14 kills with six blocks and two digs. Sophomore Sara Schwarzwalder led UK with a career-high nine blocks and added three kills, while Bergren dished out 48 assists in addition to four kills and five digs. Junior libero Jackie Napper had 20 digs with three assists in a strong defensive effort to lead Kentucky.
Two days later, Kentucky fell to No. 7 and undefeated Missouri, 3-0 (21-25, 23-25, 22-25) in three tightly contested matches in front of a lively crowd of 3,925 in Columbia, Mo. UK came back to tie the second set at 23 and got within two in the third set, at 24-22, but were unable to complete the comeback.
Kentucky was held to .229 hitting with 45 kills, while Missouri hit .350 with 47 kills. The Wildcats registered five blocks to the Tigers' nine, while UK notched three service aces.
Freshman Anni Thomasson led the way for UK with a match and career-high 15 kills to go along with seven digs, the second highest total for the Wildcats. Morgan posted eight kills on .316 hitting, while Billings notched seven kills, three blocks and five digs.
The Wildcats return to the road for a pair of matches in the Magnolia State. UK and Mississippi State square off Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. ET, while Ole Miss hosts Kentucky Nov. 17 at 2:30 p.m. Fans can follow along with a live radio broadcast and stats on UKathletics.com
Kentucky owns a 42-2 record against Mississippi State and a 37-11 all-time mark against Ole Miss. UK beat both the Bulldogs and Rebels by 3-0 scores earlier in the year in Lexington.
Greenberg Named to Academic All-District Team
Senior Jessi Greenberg was named to the Capital One Academic All-District Team. The Melbourne, Fla., native is one of six named to the District 2 NCAA Division I team, it was announced Thursday. Greenberg automatically advances to the national ballot for Academic All-America honors.
Greenberg is an International Strategic Communications and Marketing major. She has played in 18 games for the Wildcats with four starts and has registered 37 digs and two service aces in addition to a kill and an assist on the year.
Through 22 matches, the Wildcats have been involved in 14 three-set contests. UK has posted a 10-4 record in 3-0 outings, including a 4-2 mark in Southeastern Conference action.
The 10 sweeps by the Wildcats on the season were fueled by a seven-match winning streak, where UK posted five 3-0 wins. The winning streak included a run in which Kentucky recorded victories in 19 of 20 sets. After claiming the fifth set in UK's upset win over No. 4 Minnesota, only Alabama was able to win a set against the Wildcats.
In UK's eight matches this season that went longer than three sets, Kentucky has played three four-set contests and five matches that have gone the distance.
The habit of making quick work is nothing new for the Wildcats, who notched a 12-4 record in three-set contests last season.
In SEC play, the Wildcats lead the conference with an average of 2.91 blocks per set. In conference action, sophomore Sara Schwarzwalder ranks second in the league, averaging 1.34 blocks per set, while senior Alexandra Morgan is fourth with a 1.26 average. No other team has two players in the top five.
On the year, the Wildcats have totaled 204 blocks, for a 2.59 blocks per set rate. Morgan's 1.11 blocks per set average and 88 blocks on the year are both team highs.
As a team, UK has out-blocked its opponent 12 times, with wins in all 12 contests and eight victories in SEC play. The Wildcats are 4-6 in matches where they have notched equal or fewer blocks then their opponent. Kentucky has 204.5 blocks on the season, while it has held the opposition to 172.5.
On Oct. 27, a season-high 15 blocks propelled the Wildcats to a 3-1 win over Alabama, a feat they matched in their next contest, also a 3-1 victory, Nov. 1 at Arkansas.
Three players registered six or more block assists in the victory over Alabama, including a career-high eight from senior Whitney Billings. Schwarzwalder matched her with eight, and Morgan totaled six. Kentucky out-blocked the Crimson Tide 5-0 in both the first and fourth sets.
At Arkansas, Schwarzwalder posted a career best nine blocks as UK once again totaled 15 blocks. Morgan added six and Billings five in the win. The Wildcats had five blocks in the second set before a six-block performance in the third frame.
For 37 seasons of Kentucky volleyball, Memorial Coliseum has been home for the Wildcats. UK has a favorable record in the friendly confines of the esteemed venue.
This year, Kentucky is 10-1 at home. The mark includes a 4-0 mark in SEC contests, a 3-2 upset win over then-No. 4 and undefeated Minnesota and a five-set win over in-state rival Louisville. The Wildcats also won their seventh Kentucky Classic on their home court to open the home campaign.
Overall: 372-145 (37th season) .720
Skinner era: 112-24 (9th year) .824
Kentucky's Memorial Coliseum will play host to the NCAA Regionals Dec. 13-14. UK is one of four sites selected for the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight matchups with one team advancing to the Final Four in Seattle, Wash., from the Lexington Region. This marks the second time in three seasons Memorial Coliseum will host this premier volleyball event. Tickets for the event are available now at UKathletics.com/tickets.

Yerolemou is known to fans of Game of Thrones as being Arya Stark's charismatic 'dancing instructor' - a code name for teaching her sword fighting - whose fate both in the HBO TV show and George RR Martin's fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire is uncertain. According to BBC News, his role in JJ Abrams' film is said to be minor. Given the actor's remarkable skill in sword-fighting choreography, though, it could be speculated that the part will involve a lightsaber. Speculation that, as you'll see below, has not gone beyond certain fans' notice... Yerolemou is the second member of the Game of Thrones cast to join Star Wars. In June it was announced that Gwendoline Christi, who plays Brienne of Tarth, would also have a role in the next instalment of the sci-fi saga. Both Christie and Yerolemou will join a cast that includes original trilogy stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher and newcomers such as British actors Daisy Ridley and John Boyega. Star Wars Episode VII is set for release at the end of 2015. continue reading

Luca Looks Back on a Wild Rideby Star Talk Editor in Interviews, August 12, 2014
Italian-born Luca Della Casa came into the competition with his heritage as a point of view, and while his culinary offerings were strong, he struggled with camera work so much so that he was first sent home in Episode 2. After winning Star Salvation, however, he remained long enough to earn a spot in the final three, and he was ultimately named the first runner-up of the contest.
Star Talk caught up with Luca the day of the finale to talk about his time on the show, what he would cook Giada if he got the chance and who he thought was the most-intimidating mentor. Read his interview below.
Star Talk: Luca, making it to the final two is an incredible achievement and you obviously fought to get here. Was this competition everything you thought it would be?
Luca Della Casa: Oh, absolutely and even more. It's been a fantastic journey. It started good in the first episode and then it went south, so I thought I lost it. And then I had the opportunity to come back through Star Salvation and find my way back. I'm so excited about being here right now.
Let's talk about coming back and fighting your way back on Star Salvation. What did you learn that you took back to the competition with you? Because everyone saw a huge change.
LDC: The most-important thing was getting more confident. And the mentors during Star Salvation really helped me realize that.
Considering the mentors on the show and the mentors on Star Salvation, who do you find most intimidating?
LDC: I think Bobby Flay. He is such a talented chef, and I have so much respect for him that he was definitely the more intimidating for me.
Was there any one piece of advice that he gave to you that you'll carry on with you in the future?
LDC: Yes. I think that what I got from him was trying to be natural. Be yourself, not to try and be someone that you're not. That really helped me.
Looking back on the episodes, was there one cringe-worthy moment you look back on and go: "Ugh! Why did I do that?"
LDC: Oh, there are plenty of those moments, you know! The challenges are very fast; you don't have a lot of time, so you react fast, but thinking about it later, you change things here and there constantly. But at the end, it works out pretty good, no matter what. So I'm happy with it.
Has anything changed since the competition started for you, in your professional life?
LDC: Oh, absolutely. I get so much recognition back at home and at the restaurant also. I go to the grocery and people stop me and they shout: "Oh, Luca, I really love you! I would like a picture with you. You really inspire my kids to jump in the kitchen and cook with us." It's amazing.
If you could make Giada a meal, what would you cook her?
LDC: Well, probably my special recipe: gnocchi with rabe sauce. It's a specialty of my family, and I'm sure she would love it.
What can we expect from you in the future?
LDC: Well, I don't know, but it looks like the future is bright and amazing and exciting, so I'm just ready to jump into whatever is next.

NFL to propose 18-game season to union
UPDATED (5:48 p.m.)...
ATLANTA--The NFL will propose an 18-game regular season to the players' union, Commissioner Roger Goodell said here Wednesday.
Goodell said there was "overwhelming support for the concept" when the sport's franchise owners discussed a possible 18-game season during a meeting Wednesday at a downtown Atlanta hotel.
The owners did not take a formal vote on the measure but Goodell said a proposal to the union will be made "rather quickly."
The owners seem to strongly favor increasing the regular season from 16 to 18 games per team, while reducing the preseason from four to two games per club, beginning in 2012.
Goodell and the owners have said they would discuss the measure with the union as part of the two sides' labor negotiations. The union has expressed wariness about the measure because of the increased injury risk that players could face. The owners previously made a presentation to the union about an 18-game season during labor talks, but the owners did not characterize that presentation as a formal proposal.
The owners have said they won't put an 18-game season into effect without the union's approval.
"We think we've moved this concept along," Goodell said at a news conference following the one-day owners' meeting. "There's a tremendous amount of momentum for it. We think it's the right step to take. But we want to do that with our partners, including the players."
Goodell has said the change should be made in part because preseason games are not up to the league's standards for its customers. Owners seem convinced that more regular season games would translate into increased revenues, particularly in the form of bolstered rights fees in future television deals.
"There's support for it," Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said Wednesday. "There are a lot of questions. We have to see how this change would affect a lot of things. It's something we're not rushing into. But there's tremendous support, no question."
Said New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch: "This seems to be very much for the right reasons, fan driven. I can't guarantee anything going forward, but I think it's something that's on a fairly fast track right now. There will eventually be a vote. Questions are being brought up that are worthy of the league doing further research."
Among the details yet to be resolved are when the longer season would begin and end; how long training camp would be; how the number of permissible offeason practices would be affected; and how large rosters and practice squads would be.
"I think generally people are supportive," said Atlanta Falcons President Rich McKay, the co-chairman of the NFL's competition committee. "I think people feel it's an idea whose time has come from the fans' standpoint. There are still a lot of issues to work through. And those issues have to be worked through before we vote on it."
Said the Giants' other co-owner, John Mara: "There's no consensus. But there's very good support."
George Atallah, the assistant executive director of external affairs for the NFL Players Association, said the union had no immediate response to Goodell's announcement that a formal proposal would be made to the players soon. But Atallah said the players "are encouraged that the right questions are being asked, particularly about health care and safety considerations."

The NFL should increase to a 17-game regular season. But in doing so, it can also add a second bye week for all teams. Additionally, it should make the extra game for all teams a neutral site game against a foe from the opposing conference.

The owners are fools.
This is a bad move. A lot of teams are struggling to sell out as is -- including the Redskins. For many teams, games 17 and 18 will be meaningless, and ticket sales will be weakest for meaningless games in December. The shorter the season, the more meaningful each game is.
The real issue is to stop charging fans for preseason games at the same cost as a regular season game. The fans resent this for obvious reasons. Charge a few bucks more for regular season games, and run preseason tix at 1/2 price.
Posted by: zcezcest1 | August 26, 2010 1:48 AM
It's about time. If the NFLPA approves I'm guessing I'll only have one preseason ticket to get rid of come 2012. At regular prices for exhibition games, that's a blessing.

Rumor has it the 1972 Dolphins wholeheartedly support this movement as well.

Published: August 17, 2011 at 10:58 AMThis is quite the shame in my opinion. The dueling aspect of Dueling Dragons (I meant Dragon Challenge) was what made this ride for me. Coming so close to another object moving at 50 mph gives you an adrenaline rush like no other. It was like chicken with no chance (I guess there is some chance) of getting hurt. It will be sad to see this go.
Published: August 17, 2011 at 11:07 AMA guy two seats over from me caught a pigeon halfway through Sheikra at Busch Gardens Tampa a couple of years ago. It didn't injure him because it hit the over the shoulder restraint. He just got to ride the second half of the ride with a dead pigeon in his lap.
That ride has video, which didn't catch the strike, but you can tell by his facial expressions and looking at his lap where in the ride it happened.
Published: August 17, 2011 at 11:14 AMI hope they bring back the dueling element soon, I am going there in a month!
Published: August 17, 2011 at 12:38 PMSomehow, I get the feeling that this is a case of people trying to get stuff onto a coaster they shouldn't. Or, possibly, inappropriate footwear.
Last week, I rode Griffon a few times, and kept seeing the same red sandal in one of the nets on one of the Immelmanns. If that net was not there, that shoe would have gone flying off and, possibly, struck someone.
It's a shame that these coasters will not be dueling, and I hope they rectify this issue so that these rides are dueling once more.
Published: August 17, 2011 at 3:01 PMYou never know, there is always someone in the front row trying to shoot POV movies to put on YouTube with a phone or a Flip camera.... the combined speed of the trains is something like 100+ miles an hour at that point. My guess is they will find a device with video footage on it and figure out it was someone being stupid on one or both cases. Just a hunch, but it makes the most sense.
Published: August 17, 2011 at 3:53 PMWhy not put on saftey goggles? Anyways, a little more than an hour until Jimmy Neutron blasts away for good :(
Published: August 17, 2011 at 4:02 PMThat's awful. I hope the kid wasn't seriously hurt. That said this one of the few times where I've heard of someone getting hit by stray objects on a rollercoaster. Anyone remember the story of Fabio getting hit by a bird when he was riding one of the Cedar Fair coasters?
I agree with the previous poster I hope they arrange it so they duel again.
Published: August 17, 2011 at 5:57 PMThis happens at Space Mountain often enough. Because 13 trains run on both tracks, sometimes something loose bounces out of a car and lands on people or the track since the ride has so many cross overs. No one has been seriously hurt, but the worst case since I've worked there would be a man hit by a wig. Items falling on the track makes up a good portion of the down time, triggering sensors.
Published: August 17, 2011 at 6:33 PMI'm more inclined to believe someone on the other train is tossing something as they head into the loops. Sadly, there are people that pathetic. Are there on-ride photos? I know they're not kept forever, but they could have saved the ones for those particular rides. A high-speed camera at that section of the track would allow them to see anyone doing something wrong.
How many other incidents at this spot on the track are there?
When I was at KI in June, some idiot had his camera out and we got stopped on the second life on the Beast. Unfortunately, they didn't toss is arse out of the park like they should have.
Regarding the pigeon strike, don't forget Fabio at BGW!
Published: August 17, 2011 at 7:41 PMBack in the '90's, I was foolishly wearing a new Busch Gardens baseball cap on The Big Bad Wolf. The cap flew off during the ride ... and landed squarely on the head of the person in the swinging car right behind mine! After the ride, he gave it back, and we shared a laugh about the sheer implausibility of that actually happening. Oh, for a video of that precision hat maneuver...!
Published: August 17, 2011 at 9:03 PMto correct the earlier post, it was not a cedar fair coaster that fabio was injured on it was Apollos Chariot at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, during the rides opening press day.
Published: August 18, 2011 at 3:25 AMI can't see why there was a 120 minute line for Dragon Challenge yeasteday if it wasn't even dueling. I think that Univrsal needs to be WAY more strict about loose articles on rides. If a rider is wearing sunglasses or has a hat, they need to be required to put them in a locker. As for flip flops and slip on shoes, they need to have bins for them in the station; who wants to walk through that long queue barefoot? Those three articles are the ones that fall off of rides the most.
Published: August 18, 2011 at 7:27 AMTwo years ago my husband and I were riding Diamondback at King's Island and wallet flew back and hit my husband on the arm. He tried to grab but it fell down and landed on the platform below us. Luckily it stayed there to the ride's end and we were able to locate the owner. We saw it fly right out of his pocket from two rows ahead of us. I am very careful now to make sure I put any items into my cargo shorts that have zippered pockets.
Published: August 18, 2011 at 10:12 AMI am not surprised; I rode DC last year and foolishly forgot that I had a pack of Marlboro cigarettes rolled up in my left shirt sleeve ala 'Grease" (I always leave my stuff in lockers, but I had forgotten about the sleeve pack since it was light and had been there for a while)... halfway into the ride they flew out and into the riders right behind me. I was humiliated. when the ride was over I got off and immediately approached them to apologize. Was a young, nice German couple... they were unfazed and actually found it quite funny; furthermore, they somehow actually managed to catch the pack and gave it back to me!
That being said... now while at ride lockers, I automatically pat my sleeves down just to double check that I didn't leave a pack in there.
Published: August 18, 2011 at 10:26 AMGood job of reporting Domenik... So sorry to hear about this. Especially for the individual who lost sight in one of his eyes. This is one my favorite inverted coasters (besides Montu) and the dueling aspect adds to the fun and intensity. I have always made it a point to wear my sunglasses on roller coasters (with a strap of course). In light of this, I may even "upgrade" to my shatter resistant safety sunglasses (these can be purchased at Home Depot for yardwork).
I have to agree with one of the other posters about this possibly being a deliberate act. An unfortunate, but typical aspect of the society we now live in.
Published: August 18, 2011 at 6:12 PMSO at the Tower of Terror guests like to see there stuff go up and down and people constantly let go of there backpacks and bags and see them go up and down. We constantly have to hit our ride stop and stop the ride to tell them stop and reride the whole elevator.
Also guests like to take a coin and put it on there knee or hand and watch that go up and down but sometimes that backfires. They either move at the wrong moment so that the coin hits them in the face! Or that they move there hand or knee and not catch the coin. The elevators have grates for floors and so the coins fall in-between and into the elevator and sometimes this brings down the ride! On occasion a penny will get stuck in a door which will not close and the Tower will go down!
Published: August 18, 2011 at 10:41 PM36 morons "like" this article on Facebook. What is there to "like" about it? I "hate" this article. There is nothing to like about Universal screwing with one of the greatest roller coasters of all time.
Loose articles flying in the air are more of a danger for those standing below a roller coaster than those on the same train. Have you ever caught something (like the Cigarette pack story)? The article when lost has momentum in the direction the train is traveling. I've caught hats, glasses and even a digital camera with ease and in each case it just floated into my hands.
While I can see where there is potential for an object to fly out on Dragons I have my doubts. I also think you need to look at the number of incidents in relation to the number of rides given. Sometime tells me that Universal is overreacting.
Published: August 20, 2011 at 5:54 AMMy son lost his phone on The Tower of Terror. It was in his pocket but it wasn't a pocket that buttons. At one point he saw it floating up in front of his face but he couldn't catch it. It eventually ended up going through an opening between the seat and the wall and hitting the ground - oh, I don't know - about 30 or 40 feet below. To their credit, Disney DID send the pieces back in a box. Thankfully no one was hit by it while it was flying. And REALLY thankfully, it was a few hours before we were leaving to head home, because it put my son in such a foul mood that our vacation was over as soon as he realized the phone was missing.
Published: August 20, 2011 at 2:50 PMHaving enjoyed the ride many times during our visit in February, It is inconceivable that the two carriages pass so close together that contact is possible, other contributors observe, that items may fly from guests on the ride. To all you selfish enough, to carry inappropriate items on to the ride……… Please use the lockers, they are free and safe. The nature of the ride is the CHALLENGE, without that coming close together, 90% of the kudos is lost.

I Read Borges Poems - Poem by Shalom Freedman
I read Borges poems
And the Night opens up a vast and different kind of Memory
Histories of place I have never been
Faces I have never seen
Questions of Identity
Streets I will never walk in
Too long and deserted
To truly contemplate-
Fame and its follies
The delusions of a name
Death and destinies
Games of words
Encyclopedias of strange tribes
Anthropologies of gestures
A voice and tones of thinkers long unknown
Books rewritten
Literature as life
Reading as adventuring
Labyrinths, hourglasses, imaginary swords and battles
And loves whose only realization is their longing
Solitude and its self- deceptions
Escape and its consolations
The long road in poems and parables
Old age and the regrets of what one has never done-
I read Borges
And there is the joy of the real thing
What only Literature can give
Life is more when read about
Than when lived -
A seeming in the silence
Where even the most beautiful words on the page
Are best seen as echoes of past worlds greater and more glorious
Long lines on the page defining worlds far away and forever mysterious
Time passing unapproachable.

I had an appointment about two weeks ago - (I forget my doctors name!) but am wondering: 1. If there is a dermatologist on campus or 2. If I can get a referral by my doctor to one here in Bellingham for insurance purposes. (I have group health in Olympia and to see a dermatologist here I need my doctor to refer me).
Thank you!!
There is no dermatologist on campus but you can be referred by us to a Group Health affiliated dermatologist in Bellingham if Group Health approves the referral. Please write to email@example.com with your name and student number so we can get that going as it can take two months to get into a dermatologist, even with a referral.

What Country Star Would You Like to See Perform in East Texas? [POLL]
What country artist would like to see come to East Texas? I can think of tons just off the top of my head! But the country superstars usually just come as close as Dallas, Shreveport or Houston. But wouldn't it be awesome if we could get whoever we wanted to come to our backyard and perform?
East Texas is lucky to have so many of the great Texas artists perform in the area, including J.B. and the Moonshine Band, Eli Young Band, Wade Bowen, Kevin Fowler, Josh Abbott Band and more. But wouldn't it be awesome to have some of your favorite country artist come to East Texas to perform, too?
Here is my wish list of country artist that I would love to come to East Texas:
I vote Keith Urban for sure (I mean he is my boyfriend after all), The King — George Strait, Eric Church, Kenny Chesney, Pat Green and even Jason Aldean.
I mean, who wouldn't want to see Keith Urban sing "For You" in Tyler or Longview?

In the land of Hollywood, this should have become an Oscar-worthy performance.
The Lakers boasted a $100 million payroll to secure talented actors, ranging from an elite scorer (Kobe Bryant) to elite passer (Steve Nash), elite post players (Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol) and an elite defender (Metta World Peace).
They had the center stage in Staples Center to showcase their skills. And a Sports Illustrated cover unveiled during training camp summed up the optimism surrounding the Lakers' quest to win their 17 th NBA championship with this headline: "This is going to be fun."
The Lakers play tonight in Game 4 in their first-round series against the San Antonio Spurs at Staples Center in what could mark their last game of an otherwise disastrous season. All 102 NBA teams that have faced 3-0 deficits in a best-of-seven series in league history have lost.
San Antonio boasts an aging, albeit experienced roster that has thrived on continuity, including a 37-year-old Tim Duncan playing in his prime, a quick Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili playing as if he hadn't been nursing a recent hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, most of the Lakers' star-studded cast aren't taking the stage, including Bryant (season-ending torn left Achilles tendon), Nash (sore right hip and hamstring), World Peace (left knee), Steve Blake (strained right hamstring) and Jodie Meeks (partially torn ligament in left ankle).
"Nobody expects us to win," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said. So we're going to show up and try to do it."
Good luck.
Complementing Howard and Gasol in the starting lineup are the likes of Earl Clark (small forward), Andrew Goudelock (shooting guard) and Darius Morris (point guard). Clark became a pleasant surprise this season after his athleticism convinced Lakers coach MikeD'Antoni to start him on occasion ahead of Gasol.
Morris and Goudelock are teaming up for their second consecutive playoff start a mere two years after the Lakers' second-round draft picks spent most of their time taking extra shots after practice and before games.
"We've been murdered by injuries," Gasol said. "It's hard to play at his level in playoff basketball without your roster healthy."
Left unspoken remains how the Lakers' likely disappointing finish could affect their off-season plans.
The most pressing question is will Howard re-sign? He could for five years and $117.9 million instead of a four-year, $87.6 million deal with another team.
"I haven't thought about it," Howard said.
D'Antoni, who has two more guaranteed years worth $8 million, won't need to worry. Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said last week D'Antoni will return next season, crediting how he managed a 40-32 record his first season despite no training camp and persisting injuries, notably to Nash (fractured left leg).
The Lakers won't have much clarity elsewhere.
They could use the amnesty provision on Bryant ($30.5 million), Gasol ($19.9 million), World Peace ($7.7 million) or Blake ($4 million). World Peace might opt out of his player option in hopes for a longer but less expensive contract, although that runs the risk of the Lakers letting him walk.
The Lakers also will have expiring contracts to Antawn Jamison, Clark, Morris, Goudelock, Robert Sacre and Devin Ebanks, although the latter is sure to leave considering he's rarely played all season.
The Lakers will have some relief from the $6.5 million to $7 million they owe over the next two seasons after firing Mike Brown, who just became head coach at Cleveland. It's likely the Lakers won't calculate the total savings for another month after reviewing Brown's contract, but a source familiar with the situation said the savings are a "grain of salt."
"What happens next is totally up to the team and management," Gasol said. "That's not in our hands."
Few envisioned this from happening.
"There's a lot of regrets right now," D'Antoni said. "But let's talk about that later."
After all, the Lakers still have a season left. Even if it only lasts for one more day.

Note: In the Pop Traveler, Pop Candy readers name their cities' best pop-culture hot spots/events. Wanna write about your town? Holler at firstname.lastname@example.com.
By Robb Crocker, Special Correspondent for Pop Candy
Despite my New Jersey roots, Virginia was my home for 30 years. For 10 of those years, I lived in Richmond where I attended Virginia Commonwealth University and worked as a reporter. Richmond's mix of history and urban rejuvenation make Virginia's capital a great place to visit for a wide scale of people.
It's easy to associate Richmond with the Confederacy and the Civil War, but anyone who has visited or lived in the River City will tell you Richmond is more than meets the eye. So what makes it a worthwhile visit? Here are 11 of the many reasons:
1. The James River -- The James River is the anchor of the city. On a summer day, locals can be found fishing, swimming or taking in the scenery. Rafting enthusiasts would be surprised to know that a two-mile stretch of the river is the only place in the country where Class III whitewater conditions exist within city limits. If you're looking for a place to jog, hike or swim, Belle Isle is a great place to start. The former home to a Civil War prison that once housed 30,000 Union prisoners of war boasts walking trails, swimming, rock jumping, sunbathing and wildlife watching. Another popular river destination is Pony Pasture, which provides a 2.25-mile trail along the river bank that's ideal to spend an afternoon exploring.
2. The Capitol Building -- Since 1788, the Virginia Capitol Building has been home to Virginia's General Assembly, the oldest continuous legislature in the U.S. The Thomas Jefferson-designed structure has been the inspiration for a countless number of municipal and capitol buildings throughout the country. In 2004, it was given a massive facelift, which restored the building without compromising its historic integrity. Guided and self-tours are offered every day. No matter how many times you take the tour, you stumble across a new nugget of history.
3. Main Street Train Station -- Built in 1901, this U.S. National Historic Landmark was damaged by hurricane-induced flooding and two fires, which led to it being shuttered in 1975. The structure became another part of Richmond's downtown renovation and reopened in 2003. The facelift has made the station a popular wedding and reception destination (including mine), as well as ideal filming location. In 2004 the station was used in an episode Alias. Richmond has been a location for a number of films such as Hannibal, The Contender, Evan Almighty and the upcoming Steven Spielberg film Lincoln.
4. Monument Avenue -- The statues on this Richmond street pay homage to Virginia's Confederate Civil War figures Robert E. Lee, J.E.B. Stuart, Jefferson Davis and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Richmond natives Matthew Fontaine Maury and Arthur Ashe also are honored with statues. The street also is home to the Monument Avenue 10K, which was named one of the 10 best places for a road race, putting it in the same company as the Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Miami and Philadelphia marathons.
5. The festivals -- Richmond hosts nearly 50 festivals annually and all are representative of the city's diversity. Whether you're craving a chili cook-off, sampling local fare at the food cart derby, soaking in the annual Folk Festival or enjoying music, drinks and exhibits at the Watermelon Festival, there's hardly a weekend when you can't find something to do.
6. The botanical gardens -- Maymont Park and the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens offer an extensive array of flora and are steeped in history. Maymont, which attracts 500,000 visitors yearly, was the estate of Reconstruction era lawyer, businessman and philanthropist James Dooley and his wife Sallie May. The 100-acre grounds include a petting zoo, nature trails with 200 species of trees and a 33-room, Gilded Age mansion that was built in 1893. The Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, which is home to 40 acres of colorful plant life, was once a Powhatan Indian hunting ground and later owned by Patrick Henry.
7. The neighborhoods -- Richmond's neighborhoods offer architecture that includes everything from turn of the century to modern green home building. The Fan District, named after its unique "fanning out of streets," is home to a number of pubs and eateries. Since its founding in the 1600s, Shockoe Bottom and Shockoe Slip have been Richmond's center of commerce and feature art galleries, shops, dance clubs and restaurants. The crown jewel of the Museum District, which includes the storefront-filled Carytown, is the Byrd Theatre, which opened in 1928.
Jackson Ward, also known as "The Harlem of the South" and "Black Wall Street," was founded by freed slaves after the Civil War. The neighborhood became a thriving business district for the black community led by Maggie Walker, who founded Consolidated Bank & Trust and was the first female bank president. The neighborhood is home to the historic Hippodrome Theater, which attracted the likes of Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole.
8. Hollywood Cemetery -- Overlooking the James River, Hollywood Cemetery is the resting place of former presidents, James Monroe and John Tyler, Jefferson Davis and 25 Confederate generals. The graveyard, which opened in 1849, gets its name from the holly trees that originally covered the property. And, like any other graveyard, Hollywood Cemetery has its share of urban legends.
9. The Landmark Theater -- Constructed in 1926 to be used by the Shriners, this Moorish Revival-style building, which was once named The Mosque, is part of the Monroe Park Historic District.
10. The Jefferson Hotel -- Tobacco baron Lewis Ginter opened The Jefferson in 1895. Until 1948, the hotel was known for having a full-sized alligator swimming in a small pool located only six feet from the reception desk. The Jefferson is one of 27 American hotels with Mobil Five Star and AAA Five Diamond Hotel ratings and is well worth the visit, whether you're staying the night or walking through the lobby for a peek at the staircase that rivals the one in Gone With the Wind.
11. The food -- It would be unfair for me to single out any particular restaurant, but here's a list of the top 25 around town. And if you're a fan of brunch, then you're in for a treat: The Sunday brunch scene is big in Richmond, with customers lined up outside.
(Honorable mentions include The Strawberry Hill Races, auto races at the Richmond International Raceway and the Colonial Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Tournament.)

Weren't we talking about 'Generic PC'?
So to be correct:
a serial port (with host and terminal program for initial setup)
a graphics card and keyboard controller (with monitor and keyboard for

I even doubt the generic image is configured to use serial for the

Here's an interesting new book: Ronald Aronson's Living Without God: New Directions for Atheists, Agnostics, Secularists, and the Undecided.It's not a book that argues against the gods. Instead, Aronson writes for the reader who is already skeptical, but who is affected by the loss of confidence in secular politics and life stances that characterizes our time. He wants to start a conversation about where we can go and what we can do when we (secular people) can no longer subscribe to the myth of … [Read more...]

Living without God
Trinity, schminity
I was listening to Hank Hanegraaff's Bible Answer Man today while driving. He was trying to explain the Trinity to a caller. It seemed weird, as if Hanegraaff was describing something he didn't understand to someone who was struggling even harder.You have to admire Christianity, in a backhanded way. There are no end of lunatic religious stories available in the world ( Xenu, anyone?), but I don't know of anything that compares to good old fashioned Christian theology when it comes to … [Read more...]
Top-down causation
Discussions of science and religion can be fascinating, particularly when they become an occasion to see how the world works very differently than what our commonsense intuitions prompt us to think. Religious thought typically follows our commonsense, anthropomorphic expectations, so I figure that talking about science and religion has to include explaining how religions get it wrong. But the payoff is really the science, not the religion-bashing.Sometimes, however, I confess that I don't get … [Read more...]

text: CCU and Young Life Team up to Equip Future Leaders Sunday, August 01, 2004 at 1:05 PM CCU students have engaged in a variety of ministry, volunteer, and internship opportunities with Young Life for years. Now CCU and Young Life are officially teaming up to train the next generation of Young Life leaders. CCU has introduced a new academic minor in Young Life leadership.Curriculum for the new minor was customized to specifically meet Young Life's needs. CCU students in the Young Life minor program will take courses in discipleship, cross-cultural ministry, and ministry leadership. The classes will be taught by CCU faculty and members of the Young Life organization. This relationship with Young Life is the first of its kind in the country.Ken Tankersley, associate regional director for Young Life in the Front Range of Colorado, sees this new program as an effective way to help students prepare to enter the Young Life ministry. "What this relationship provides is a balance of both head and heart knowledge," he said. "In many ways it serves as a practicum-style class in that it will allow many of the students to take what they are learning in class and apply it immediately into whatever ministry they are involved with."The Young Life leadership minor will be offered starting in the fall.

Dec 31, 2012 - StaffThe Dubois Fire Department had a New Year's resolution late in 1961: Get a new fire engine. In the final week of the year, it came to pass.
Howe Fire Apparatus Co. of Worland outfitted the "bare" truck, fitting it with hoses, lights and insignia according to the Dubois department's specifications, then drove the truck to Riverton to meet up with Arden Coad, secretary of the Dubois Fire Department.
Howe's people offered to take the truck clear to Dubois, but Coad wanted the chance to drive the new engine the 78 miles to Dubois himself. The hand-over tok place at Riverton Fire Station 1 on East Washington.
Other fire departments in Fremont County helped raise money for the Dubois equipment.

'CSI' creator brings 'Cybergeddon' to Web
The man who created the CSI franchise says storytelling in the new digital age must be "specific to the device."
That's why Cybergeddon, the new 90-minute Web miniseries from producer Anthony E. Zuiker, will debut Tuesday on Yahoo! in bite-sized chapters over three days.
"I wanted to challenge the movie industry to do things that had nothing to do with the theater," Zuiker says. "I wanted to do a movie that was free globally in 25 countries and 10 languages around the world anytime, anywhere, on any device."
MORE: TV on the Web reveals great online entertainment
Cybergeddon presents a world on the verge of cyber catastrophe. In a place where everyone is connected, one click could have devastating consequences. Cybergeddon features the production values and actors (the series stars Olivier Martinez and Missy Peregrym) of a big budget blockbuster, but Zuiker does not want you anywhere near your local cineplex.
Instead, the movie will be released in nine digital chapters (three chapters per day over the course of three days). With this unique online distribution strategy Zuiker hopes to "crack the DNA of how to tell stories online and bypass the theater as a behavioral shift happens." Unlike the theater, Zuiker understands that online the viewer can turn off the movie with one simple click. And, how do you keep your audience from clicking away at any moment?
"Doing content that's specific to the device. That's a big rule on the internet so we tried to do that. Not repurpose the same format for a smaller screen but understand that the screen needs particular attention," Zuiker says. "We had a beginning, middle and end every 10 minutes. Very visceral, very fast, very character driven with multiple screens, and a score, and look to really emulate the viewing and navigational experience people have online."
Pop your popcorn at home and catch all nine chapters of Cybergeddon this week on Yahoo. You can watch "30 minutes of a digital motion picture, once a day for three days anytime, anywhere, and on any device on the go," which Zuiker says, "is something you can't do in the theater."

Overall, the U.S. has enjoyed a decline in air pollution, occupational fatalities, infectious disease, infant mortality, premature death, cardiovascular deaths, cancer deaths and violent crime.
Of course, it wasn't all good news; there were also more children in poverty, and the rate of uninsured folks remains around 15% higher than it was a decade ago.
And despite American per capita healthcare spending that leads the world, health in the U.S. as a whole continues to lag behind other developing countries — particularly in terms of life expectancy and infant mortality rates. Health inequality also is one of the highest among developed nations.
Still, some states in the U.S. are exceptionally healthy … and, of course, a few lag behind. Let's take a look at the five best and five worst places in terms of health here at home:

TWO consultation events are to be held later this month over plans to demolish garages and replace them with housing.
Waltham Forest Council wants to transfer 11 sites to the East Thames housing association, which it says will use the land to build new affordable homes.
The earmarked land includes sites in Deer Leep Grove, Marien Court in the Avenue and The Ridgeway in Chingford, two garages next to Pentire Road in Hale End Road, Walthamstow, along with Central Avenue and Kings Road in Leytonstone.
Other garages, located outside of the borough, include sites in Cowell Lodge in Wood Lane, Alders Avenue, Armstrong Avenue, and Payzees Gardens in Chingford Lane, all in Woodford Green, and in Argyle Road in Stratford.
The first consultation event is on Friday November 23 in the Community Room of Northwood Tower, Marlowe Road, Walthamstow, between 2pm and 7pm.
The second is on Wednesday November 28 at the Friday Hill TMO Offices at The Chingdale Centre in Chingdale Road, Chingford, between 2pm and 7pm.
The council's cabinet recently approved the disposal of the sites as part of its 'garages strategy'.
