Motorists are encountering some roads with snow-covered sections for their evening commute
FREDERICKSBURG – Roads in the Fredericksburg District are currently in clear to minor condition this afternoon, with snow accumulation starting to partially cover roadways.
Conditions can change quickly, and motorists are encourages to check 511Virginia for the latest road conditions before starting a trip. Call 511, visit www.511Virginia.org, or use VDOT's 511Virginia free mobile app to find real-time road conditions in any area of the state.
In the Fredericksburg area, portions of Interstate 95 and Route 1 are in minor condition. Route 3, Route 17 and Route 218 are in minor condition in Stafford County, and Route 2, 3, 17 and 208 in Spotsylvania County are in minor condition.
Most primary roads in the Northern Neck are clear, with light snow falling. Motorists will encounter minor road conditions on secondary roads in King George, and on primary roads in the Oak Grove area of Westmoreland County.
Primary roads in the Middle Peninsula are currently clear.
A complete list of real-time road conditions can be found at 511Viginia.org:
VDOT crews remain at work with nearly 600 pieces of equipment across the district to plow roads, and to spread sand and salt to give motorists additional traction, and to help melt ice.
Once it begins to snow in their area, motorists are encouraged to delay travel, if possible.
VDOT's goal is to have all roads passable within 48 hours of a storm's end. Roads carrying the heaviest amount of traffic are cleared first, such as interstates, primary roads, and key secondary roads that connect employment centers and public safety facilities. Once these roads are clear, VDOT plows subdivision streets and low-volume secondary roads.
VDOT crews will remain at work 24 hours a day, working in 12-hour shifts, until all roads are clear and safe for travel.
VDOT's Customer Service Center is open 24 hours a day to answer questions and take reports of roadway hazards at 1-800-FOR-ROAD (800-367-7623).
VDOT's 14-county Fredericksburg District includes the counties of Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford in the Fredericksburg area; Northumberland, Richmond, Lancaster and Westmoreland counties in the Northern Neck; Essex, Gloucester, King & Queen, King William, Mathews and Middlesex counties in the Middle Peninsula.
Information in VDOT news releases was accurate at the time the release was published. For the most current information about projects or programs, please visit the project or program Web pages. You may find those by searching by keyword in the search Virginia DOT box above.

A Body of Work
Creature of habit: Now I know why I keep picking up a copy of New Times every week. Super writing job on "Remains of the Day" by David Holthouse (June 29). Paul Rubin's piece was also excellent, as was Flashes. No, I didn't buy any CNI stock, either. Keep up the good work.
Robert C. Sullivan

Fiduciary Dooty
No accountability: Just finished Paul Rubin's excellent article on Nancy Elliston ("Checks & Imbalances," June 15). To put it mildly, a couple of the quotes cited in the story absolutely blew me away, and raised my blood pressure to unhealthful levels. The first, from Elliston's attorney, Craig Mehrens, stated, "We're hoping to resolve this with as little loss of dignity to Nancy as possible." Dignity? Dignity? Who gives a crap about her dignity? She forfeited any claim to that when she started cleaning out these helpless people. A news flash, Craig: Nobody talks about the "dignity" of some kid who just held up a Circle K. Guess what? She's worse, coming at her victims from a position of trust. Mehrens obviously got an "A" in Delusion 101, which I'm certain is now a required course in law schools.
The second quote was also a beaut. Former court commissioner Ken Reeves states, "But the idea that you just rob Peter to pay Paul, or pay yourself, is just shocking." Shocking that a human being, given almost unlimited and loosely monitored access to another person's money, would abuse that trust? Reeves would probably be "shocked" that a kid in a candy store would try to scarf some jelly beans out of one of the jars when no adult is within miles of the store. Unfortunately, his shit-for-brains mentality is probably only too typical of the bureaucrats who run this county operation.
A small suggestion from a humble citizen: Create a court-appointed ombudsman service that must co-sign every check written from these fiduciary accounts. I'm certain they could stop by each company once a week or so to review and sign a bundle of checks. Then, rotate these ombudsmen among the different fiduciary companies every six months or so, just to keep everyone on the up and up. Finally, "lend" Nancy a jail cell for at least as long as the kid who sticks up a Circle K. Oh, no, wait a minute. I forgot. Some thieves are "more" equal than others.

The White Stuff
Extremism no virtue: After reading John Sheehan's racist letter of June 15, I knew the proverbial fur would fly on this page. What is rather humorous is how ignorant the extreme left and extreme right paint themselves in their own words.
For example, James Bailey's letter (July 6) asserts that all Republicans are white racists. From personal experience, Mr. Bailey, you are as wrong as wrong could be. I worked at the Republican National Committee in Washington, D.C., from 1983 through 1985. I personally worked with blacks, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, gays, lesbians, Koreans, unwed mothers, and yes, even white men. One of my co-workers was a black unwed mother, whose day job was working on the staff of, horror of horrors, Senator Jesse Helms. When people picked themselves off the floor and asked her how she could be a Republican and work for Jesse Helms, she would look them straight in the eye and say, "Because they pay better than Democrats!" Mr. Bailey, open your mind, put away the puka shell necklace, and come in out of the 1970s.
As far as A. Gene Kelso's racist letter (July 6) goes, all I have to say is, Mr. Kelso, learn some American history, quick. He spouts off about "white supremacy," then brings up two British scientists as his argument for his narrow views. What he fails to mention is this country has had great black American scientists like Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver. These men and others gave great knowledge to us as a country and the world even when they couldn't vote or eat in restaurants because of the ingrained racism of 19th-century and early 20th-century America. If these two men, and other minority American scientists, can give great gifts to a nation that has traditionally held them back, imagine what they could give society if we had supported them, like those British men you trot out to support your racism.
Left or right, an extremist is just that, an extremist, and should be given just enough pen and paper to let the rest of society see how ignorant he is.
Mike Fritz
Jive Talkin'
Bitter medicine: As a Valley emergency-department clinician, I would like to comment on the article "Critical Connection" (Amanda Scioscia, June 29) and some of the points it makes outright and others it implies.
First, I must speak up for the benefit of your readers' understanding of the "workup" Miss Gricelda Zamora received, as quoted in your article by lawyer Ben Miranda. I can almost assure you that the test referred to is a "complete blood count," not a test for "blood clot levels." Also called a CBC, this is often used to screen for the presence and severity of many different infectious diseases, including appendicitis. Second, it is absolutely routine to perform a pregnancy test on any woman with any of a variety of complaints from depression, nausea, weight gain, abdominal pain and others if she is between the ages of 10 and 60, whether she is a schoolkid, prostitute or nun. Ask any woman who has been pregnant about the changes that happen when there's a bun in the oven. Pregnancy is often the simplest way to explain certain symptoms, and one of the most embarrassing and catastrophic things to miss. It's got nothing to do with being Hispanic -- everybody does the wild thing, and will deceive their parents, their doctors and even themselves about the possibility of being pregnant.
But the part of your article that really burns me is the assertion that surmounting the language barrier is entirely the responsibility of the health-care institution. Our hospital (not mentioned in your article) has a Spanish-interpreter program that works very well. We are very grateful to each of our interpreters for the very reasons you mention: They help ensure the best possible chance of an accurate diagnosis, an effective treatment and the patient's understanding of the whole situation. The interpreters help, but is it really the responsibility of the medical community to take it upon ourselves to be yet more "consumer-friendly"? In the ER, we stay open all day and night the whole year; take any patients for any reason (the list of ridiculous complaints is a topic for a whole other article), independent of their ability to pay, regardless of whether they've been in every week for three years for the same problem; run all sorts of tests; and usually do a pretty good job of making people better.
Believe it or not, ERs don't exist to make money; they exist because society needs them. Consider an analogy in a purely capitalist situation: If Bob went into Bashas' every day penniless and asked the manager for a Snickers and a pack of Marlboros, within a few days they would tell him to eat shit and they would call the cops. This kind of thing happens in the ER; however, we give Bob the goods. At this rate, we'll be giving pedicures and golf tips at bedside. So if you have trouble in the ER or any situation because you don't speak English, learn English, and do it soon. Until then, at least try to bring along a bilingual friend or family member. If the ER has an interpreter, great, but if not, at least you're not totally in the dark. Speaking English is the hip, cool thing to do -- most people in the U.S. do it. I look forward to meeting you sometime outside the hospital, but if you happen to need us in the ER, I'll do my best to help.
Edward O'Beirne
Eminem Candy
He's just joking: Okay, can I have the attention of the class? Will the very angry and obviously gay New Times writer please sit down ("'F' Wordsmith," Andrew Miller, June 15)? It is sad when you have to use the problems with Eminem's lyrics to explain that you are mad about the way society treats gay people. Could you not come up with something just a little more offensive than Eminem calling out the Insane Clown Posse boys to embarrass them? Or a joke about Versace? Have you not noticed that Eminem discriminates against everybody? Why waste space writing about crap or rehashing the same story that everybody in every music and entertainment magazine is writing? As soon as everyone realizes that Eminem is more comedy than hatred, then maybe you will chill! This man makes fun of everything and everyone, just like Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Don Rickles and every other dirty comic; he just raps when he is talking shit!
I am guessing that the writer is not a rap music fan and that he probably doesn't relate to any of the positive messages in the background of Eminem's music because he is too busy breaking it down phrase by phrase, word by word. Maybe you should listen to it again and laugh at the jokes. This way you won't feel like the joke is on you.
Mark DiCarlo
Mother Load
House broken: I found Laura Laughlin's article "What's a Mother to Do?" (June 15) very interesting. It made me think of the ironic story of the gardener who has the worst-looking yard in town. None of us ever wants to admit that what we work so hard at outside of our home is often the one thing that continues to plague our personal lives. After reading Laughlin's article, it seems that this may very well have been what happened in Sophia Lopez-Espindola's case. As hard as she worked to prevent tragedy caused by gang violence from affecting others, she wasn't able to keep it from repeating itself in her own life. It really is unfortunate that Lopez-Espindola felt she needed to resign from a cause that she obviously feels so passionate about. The only way for change to occur is if each of us is persistent despite what may look like failure to others.

Alien Nation
Trojan horse: The push for driver's licenses is part of the Mexican conquest of the Southwest ("Illegal Turn," Gilbert Garcia, June 8). If they get licenses, they will get amnesty. If they get amnesty, 10 million Mexicans will become U.S. citizens. If they become U.S. citizens, they can bring in their immediate families. They, too, will become U.S. citizens. That means 20 million, at least. Unless we stop and deport all illegal aliens, in 10 years Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas will come under the jurisdiction of Mexico.
Glenn Spencer
via Internet
Insurgency: The driver's license is a breeder document used by the illegal alien to obtain other documents and even to vote. If one is in favor of illegal immigration, then one should favor driver's licenses for the "undocumented." The insurance argument is just plain lame.
Gladys Brown
Riverside, California
Exemplary: As a resident of Los Angeles who is often overwhelmed by news stories of every sort, how refreshing (if such a phrase can be used here) it was to read Kathleen Vanesian's piece ("Grave Undertaking," June 15). Though chilling, it was nonetheless compelling from word to word -- a mini-investigative report more than a review of filmmaking. This piece is worthy of an award itself. It is an example of how journalism should be.
Gregory Firlotte
Los Angeles
Market share: This comment is only incidental to the article that deals with the film made by local people about the civil war in El Salvador. At the end of the article, reference is made to Emmanuel Levy, film critic. Levy is quoted to the effect that though the Valley may well be the sixth most populous place in the nation, ". . . it's the only major metropolitan center that doesn't have an international film festival . . ."
Levy, or possibly the author of the article, or possibly both, perpetuates a common confusion with that reference to "the sixth most populous place in the nation." It is true that the city of Phoenix, within its city borders, counts as one of the largest cities in the U.S., but as a conglomerate area (a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area), the Phoenix area ranks somewhere around 19 or 20. It's the same concept as "major market" sizes for the media. Thus, even though neither Minneapolis nor St. Paul comes close to matching the population of Phoenix, the Twin Cities area numbers something like a million more people.
Jay Narveson
Monti's Hall of Fame
Sweet revenge: In reference to your critique of Monti's La Casa Vieja in Tempe ("Mill Rut," Carey Sweet, June 15): A group of 24 friends went there on June 17. We had read your article, but with some trepidation we went, armed with your article. Of course it was the source of a lot of bad jokes and twisted humor. Members of this group have literally worked around the contract situations. I'm not implying that we are culinary experts, but I expect we have more exposure to dining out than many folks.
Monti's is not Ruth's Chris, but on the other hand it did not have Ruth's Chris prices. We found the service to be somewhat slow, but with a big group that is to be expected. The general consensus was "the food is good." My wife and I had the seven-ounce filet and enjoyed it.
One thing that ticked me a little was the $1.10 charge for the Roquefort dressing. Small irritants such as that can influence your thinking.
In summary, good food, reasonable prices and good service. Not bad. You may find others who agree with your opinion, but I know 24 people who don't. We discussed your article later and thought your approach was heavy-handed and unreasonable.

Review: Dali Wine Bar
Former Nana frontman Paul Pinnell uncorks a beauty with his Dali Wine Bar.
Steakhouses might be dropping like flies in Dallas, but we've suddenly become a breeding ground for wine bars, opening everywhere from Frisco to Fort Worth. Here to set the bar for the genre is Dali Wine Bar, from former buttoned-down Nana general manager Paul Pinnell. All those years wearing a suit stoked his yearning to do something liberating and creative.
Thus, Dali isn't just a wine bar; it's a wine bar named after the mustachioed surrealist painter. The small space has an upside-down seating plan, with 70 seats inside but 185 on the patio. The dining room seems to avoid straight lines, with its vaguely oval shape and asymmetrical floor plan. Hammered-copper tables crowd all over each other. Bathrooms are exotic jewel boxes with sinks painted like mosaics and wild Dali images screened onto the doors.
Last but not least is the bar: a 20-foot plank of poured resin holding hundreds of floating, suspended corks, like a wino's version of a Damien Hirst piece. These are no random corks; each has a story, representing bottles consumed by Dali employees and investors. They also symbolize Pinnell's goal to cover the restaurant's floor with recycled cork tiles.
All of this fits the vibe of its Arts Plaza locale, where the restaurants are run by locals, and artsy locals at that. Dali's staff is an assemblage of brilliant eccentrics, from catering and special events director Ann Spicer (Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek) to wine director Rudy Mikula (Nove Italiano, Hibiscus), to executive chef Joel Harloff (Landmark at the Melrose Hotel).
Despite the preponderance of bottles and corks, Dali doesn't feel like your typical cheese-and-crackers wine-bar experience once you sit down to eat. Harloff's menu compromises, offering small plates that reassure the snackers and enough "solid food" to satisfy the diner searching for supper.
Macho entrees included rack of veal, New York strip steak, and braised lamb shank. Yet all got upstaged by their accompanying vegetables and garnishes. The veal came with a couple of shrimp so perfectly roasted, they rendered the veal irrelevant. The lamb shank may have been tender and melting, but its couscous, flavored with preserved lemon and mint, was irresistible, along with a medley of spring peas and roasted-garlic fava beans.
The kitchen did fish right. Pan-seared halibut came with the trendy dot-shaped pasta called fregola sarda, like pearl couscous. The memorable thing about the fish was the way it stayed firm, yet broke so cleanly into soft bites. An appetizer of delicate steamed scallops got contrasting crunch from its salad of hearts of palm and sunchokes.
For vegetarians, they had spring pappardelle pasta, with long, flat ribbons in a juicy sauce of roasted tomatoes with fresh basil. Chunks of tomato added kicky texture and flavor. Balanced on top was a thick sheet of fresh fennel, grilled for a browned, caramelized edge.
Most salads came "fortified." Spinach and mizuna, for example, had shards of duck confit and radish. Endive salad with tomatoes and Taleggio cheese croutons got pumped up with meaty shiitake mushrooms, sliced thinly.
Whether you have it as a snack or an app, have the gazpacho—and that's even if you don't like gazpacho. Too often it tastes like you're sipping salsa, but this version was a class act: cool tomato puree, fresh and sweet, with a baguette crouton floating in the center, topped with thin slices of shrimp and shredded, hard-cooked egg. Inevitably, the bread absorbed the tomato puree and sagged in the middle, providing that transformation when something crisp gets saturated and turns deliciously soggy.
Following the lead set by Charlie Palmer and others, Dali sells bottles of wine at retail prices. Patrons sitting at the bar look like they're visiting their wine-savvy pal, not just having a glass of Syrah. On any given night, you're likely to spot Pinnell or Mikula walking around with a bottle of Something You Can't Get Anywhere Else. Pinnell's collection of tailored Italian suits sits in his closet; he hasn't worn one in a year.

wikiHow to Make a Blueberry Smoothie
Two Methods:Making a Basic Blueberry SmoothieMaking VariationsCommunity Q&A
Smoothies are both delicious and healthy. They are also simple to make. Smoothies made from strawberries or bananas are the most popular, but have you ever tried making a smoothie with blueberries? Blueberries are sweet, and full of vitamins and antioxidants. They are perfect smoothie additions for sweet tooths and health fanatics alike.
- 6 ounces (180 grams) blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 6 ounces (180 grams) yogurt (blueberry, plain, or vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- ½ cup (about 3 cubes) ice, (optional)
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) milk
Makes 1 – 2 servings
Making a Basic Blueberry Smoothie
1Place the yogurt into the blender. You can use any type of yogurt you want, but blueberry, plain, or vanilla will taste the best.
2Add the blueberries. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If you use fresh blueberries, make sure that you rinse them in a strainer/colander under running water. If you are using frozen blueberries, just toss them in. You do not need to thaw them.
3Pour in some milk if you want a thinner smoothie. If you'd like a thicker smoothie, leave the milk out.[2]
4Add ½ cup (about 3 cubes) of ice if you are using fresh blueberries. If you are using frozen blueberries, you won't need to add any ice. They will already give you the thickness you need.[3]
5Add some honey if you'd like a sweeter smoothie. If you are using a flavored yogurt, such as blueberry or vanilla, you probably won't need to add the honey at all.
6Close the blender and pulse for a few seconds, until smooth. From time to time, you may need to open up the blender, and push the mixture down the sides using a spatula. Don't worry if the smoothie looks "grainy." These are simply the blueberry skins. Most blenders will not be able to grind them up all the way.
- If the smoothie is too thin, add some more ice. If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk.
7Pour the smoothie a glass and serve. This will be enough for one large servings, or two smaller servings. If the smoothie is very thick, use a spatula to help "guide" it into the cups.
Making Variations
1Use almond milk and flax seeds for a healthy twist, or if you can't have dairy. In a blender, combine 2 cups (475 milliliters) of cold almond milk, ¼ cup (25 grams) of blueberries, 1 tablespoon of flax seeds, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Blend until smooth, then pour into 2 glasses, and serve.[4]
- If you are vegan, try another sweetener, such as maple syrup, agave, or stevia.
- For a pop of color, garnish the smoothie with a mint leaf.
2Add a banana to make it a banana-blueberry smoothie. Add 1 ripe banana, 1 cup (100 grams) of frozen blueberries, and 1 cup (250 grams) of nonfat, plain yogurt. Blend until smooth, then pour into 2 glasses, and serve immediately.[5]
- If you cannot find frozen blueberries, use fresh ones instead. Add a few ice cubes into the blender to help thicken it.
- If the smoothie is too thick for you, add a splash of milk, and blend some more.
3Make a breakfast smoothie with oatmeal and a banana. In a blender, pulse 1/3 cup (35 grams) of rolled oats until they are finely-ground. Add 6 ounces (170 grams) of fat-free Greek yogurt, ¾ cup (120 grams) of blueberries, and 1 banana. Add up to ½ cup (120 milliliters) of water; the more water you use, the thinner your smoothie will be. Blend until smooth, then pour into 2 glasses and serve.[6]
- You can use fresh or frozen fruit for this. If you are using fresh fruit, add a few ice cubes before blending it.
4Try it with ice cream instead of yogurt. Put 1 cup (100 grams) of blueberries, 1 cup milk (240 milliliters), 2 large scoops of vanilla ice cream, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, then pour into 2 tall glasses, and serve.[7]
- For a twist, add a banana and reduce the milk to a mere splash.[8]
5Satisfy your sweet tooth with some spices and cocoa powder. In a blender, combine 1 cup (100 grams) of frozen blueberries, 1 cup (240 milliliters) of milk, 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons of maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add a dash of ground cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. Blend until smooth, pour into a tall glass, and serve.[9]
- Instead of maple syrup, try agave nectar.
- For a hint of color, garnish it with a few blueberries.
Community Q&A
I hate ice cream, can I leave it out?wikiHow ContributorLeaving the ice cream out of the smoothie will make it less creamy and/or thinner, but will still result in a tasty smoothie. You can use yogurt instead, or cream.
Is there an alternative to yoghurt?wikiHow ContributorYes, you could use creme fraiche or sour cream or even just milk or almond milk.
How much milk and scoops of ice cream do I need?wikiHow ContributorYou need 2 cups of ice cream and 1 cup of fresh fruit.
Is the cocoa powder sweetened of unsweetened? Will it taste bad using unsweetened?wikiHow ContributorSweetened cocoa is way less healthy than unsweetened, though they taste the exact same in my opinion.
- Try this smoothie with vanilla ice cream instead of yogurt. Some people say that this enhances the blueberry flavor.
- Make your smoothie more elegant by garnishing it with some fresh blueberries.
- If you don't want blueberry skin in your smoothie, consider straining it before you blend.

Gadgets: why we need to find sleep switch
As a new survey shows that too many of us are browsing the internet in bed, Kerry McKittrick asks four local celebrities what keeps them awake at night.
If you find yourself spending your nights tossing and turning, and unable to sleep then you probably aren't alone. New research has revealed that now as many as six out of 10 adults have trouble sleeping — and it's our gadgets that are the problem.
Too many of us are spending what should be our restful hours keeping up with the gossip on Facebook, finding out the news on Twitter or getting to the next level of Candy Crush Saga.
Researchers at the University of Hertfordshire have discovered that using a laptop, smartphone or tablet can suppress our melatonin levels — the chemical that controls our body clock — due to the blue light which is frequently emitted from our gadgets.
In fact, using a gadget less than two hours before bed can disrupt our sleep patterns — bad news given that a recent poll found that 79% of adults use some kind of blue-light emitting device during that period. It turns out that nearly 60% of adults are getting less than their recommended seven hours of sleep each night, which itself can be linked to heart problems, obesity and diabetes.
And what sleep we do manage to get when we use gadgets has been found to be less sound, and often featuring bad dreams.
But in this age of constant communications and easy distractions, is it so easy to do away with our electronics before bedtime and banish them from the bedroom altogether?
We spoke to four well-known local people to see how they cope with always being in demand online.
'My phone has never been off'
Gareth (33) co-hosts the Cool FM breakfast show each weekday morning from 6am. He lives in Bangor with his partner Laura and their twin boys, Cody and Charlie (4). He says:
I'm totally a gadget guy. I have an iPhone, an iPad and an iMac and I take them all out with me. I never used to be into things like social media – I would have been one of those people who was never going to have a Facebook page.
Nowadays, though, our work emails are synced to our iPhones and iPad.
When I'm in bed I even sit and take notes on one gadget or another. I'm constantly checking Facebook, newsfeeds, entertainment sites and Twitter.
They're the last thing I check before I go to sleep and the first thing I check in the morning – if something has happened during the night then we don't want to miss it for the morning show.
Like everyone else, I use my phone as my alarm clock. It's never, ever been turned off and I use it so much it needs to be charged three times a day.
I have the notifications turned on and if someone interacts with me, say on Facebook, I have to look right away after the phone has beeped to notify me.
It's really bad for you, as you never get to come down and relax. It used to be a rule that I wasn't allowed any phones or communication devices on a Sunday but that was broken a long time ago.
The only time I don't have my phone is when I go to a restaurant – then I leave my phone in the car as it's rude to sit with someone and check it!"
'I don't want to miss a thing'
DUP councillor Gavin Robinson (29) is the former Mayor of Belfast. He lives in Belfast with his wife Lindsay and their son Reuben (7 months). He says:
I have two Blackberries, one for work and one personal, as well as an iPad and a laptop.
I tend to Tweet a lot — I don't use Facebook that much but my Twitter updates my Facebook page. Even if I don't tweet I'm certainly on Twitter all the time.
I go to bed and I'll have the phone in my hand, the iPad in front of me and the radio is usually on, too.
I have the radio on all through the night so it's on when I wake up. I'm actually a pretty heavy sleeper so I don't find that it disturbs me, although I do turn off the notifications on my phone at night.
When you get a beep or a buzz you really have to see who's messaging you so they need to be turned off or I would be up all night reading them.
I should turn off my phone more or be more disciplined about not using it. You always feel, though, that if you're not responding and interacting then you're missing something.
Twitter is very useful and keeps you up to date and to be honest I spend a lot of time refreshing it trying to find the next piece of news that's coming up.
During the recent crisis at the DJ Hardwell concert in Belfast — in which a number of young people were taken ill — there was a lot of misinformation across Twitter.
I was in constant contact with the police, though, and was able to broadcast what was actually happening to people over Twitter."
'Social media is so addictive'
Marie-Louise Muir (46) is the host of BBC Radio Ulster's Arts Extra. She lives in Belfast with her husband Johnny and their daughters Catherine (9) and Rebecca (6). She says:
We have all the gadgets -- tablets, smartphones, MP3 players. I don't really have access to my own tablet any more, though, because the girls have taken it over. The only time I use it is to put my ID in so the girls can download some free app.
I'm on social media mainly for work but these sites are incredibly addictive -- I've only got two or three friends actually on Facebook or Twitter. They can be great, though, as they cut out the wait for news releases. I get a lot of instant messages telling me about news in the arts world -- less so than with emails.
I have to Tweet to start generating discussions around the radio and TV shows. The rest of the time they're the first thing I look at in the morning. I could happily lose an hour after the school run on Facebook and Twitter.
I do stay away from social media and emails in the evening -- I have to switch off from them or I never would get any sleep. It doesn't mean that I put the phone down, though. I use it as my alarm clock and I listen to podcasts.
I find then that my head is full of white noise. Even when I've turned off the light and gone to sleep I can see the phone light up if someone has messaged me -- the only option is to shove the phone under the bed!"
'I'm hooked on tweets in bed'
Mairtin O Muilleor (55) is the Lord Mayor of Belfast, where he lives with his wife, Helen O'Hare, and children Caoimhe (26), Tiernan (24), and twins Colm and Fiontan (20). He says:
I have everything — an iPhone, and iPad and and iBook. I just got rid of a BlackBerry and I take all of them with me so I can communicate from anywhere.
The downfall of the iPhone is it tends to be your alarm, so it's right beside the bed at night and is the first thing you lift in the morning as well as the last thing you put down at night.
People ask me over Twitter or text why I'm not away to bed and my reply most of the time is that I'm actually in bed as I tweet.
I have a fair bit of interaction from the United States and I find myself waking up in the middle of the night to check emails from over there as they're five hours behind.
I don't know about annoying my other half but doing that certainly annoys me.
I don't recommend this to anyone. I think what we do with social media these days is crazy. There's no reason to tweet as much as we do.
Once you start checking your phone it becomes never-ending.
When I'm in bed I think I'll just send one more email or read one more article, but it's never that way. It's the double-edged sword of the internet that there's always one more thing to do.
I certainly think using my gadgets affects my sleep. The way to end the night is to put down the gadgets and read a book!"

Redskins-Dallas Tailgating Recipe - Texas Chili!
11.17.2011 / Blog Posts Recipes
In Texas, the classic Bowl of Red is missing a pretty common chili ingredient beans! This all-meat chili takes patience, but it is worth the effort. We use less expensive and tougher cuts of meat that braise for 3 4 hours. When the chili is ready, the beef is fall-apart tender! Be sure to trim away all the fat on the brisket no need for it in this recipe. With spicy peppers, tomatoes, and Mexican beer to help brighten up the flavors, you cant go wrong with this chili. If you are feeding a Redskins-sized appetite, put the chili over a bowl of brown rice and enjoy!
Serve with classic garnishes of chopped cilantro, lime wedges, chopped red onion, and diced avocado.
8 whole dried ancho chiles - about 3 oz.
3 Tbs Extra-virgin olive oil
3 lbs brisket, trimmed of all visible fat, and cut into 1 inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large onions, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbs chili powder
3 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground coriander
1 pinch Cinnamon
1 tsp dark brown sugar
12 oz Mexican Beer
2 jalapeno chiles, seeded if desired, minced
2 cans (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
3 cups Water
Juice of a lime
Place the dried chiles in a large bowl, and cover with boiling water. Keep chiles submerged, and let soak for 30 minutes to an hour. Remove from water, remove stems and seeds, then puree in a blender with 1/2 - 3/4 cup soaking liquid until a loose chili paste forms .
Heat a large heavy pot over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Season beef with salt, pepper, and 1 tbs of chili powder
Brown beef on all sides in batches, adding more oil as needed. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the beef still steam and not sear. Transfer to a plate.
Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil - then saute the onions, garlic, and jalepenos, until the onions soften.
Add cumin, oregano, chili powder, and cinnamon and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
Add the beer, and using your spoon, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the chile puree. Add crushed tomatoes, water, dark brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer gently, partially covered, until meat is very tender and juices are thick, approximately 3 hours.
Stir every hour or so, and check to make sure the liquid is still at a good level. The chili is ready when the meat is tender and the sauce is thick.
Season chili with salt, if needed, and stir in lime juice.
Servings: 8 10

New Chicago Fire Season Ticket Holder Ray Lass is a relative newbie to the game of soccer, though his knowledge of the game has grown a lot since the summer.
Lass is the winner of the most recent Lunch with the Fire contest, in which season ticket holders that renew or purchase for 2011 are entered to win lunch with a Fire player or front office staff. Lass, whose first Fire game was on September 4 vs. LA, was the lucky winner and will be joined by his girlfriend Stephanie for lunch with rookie goalkeeper Sean Johnson.
"I kind of rode the wave of the World Cup and the U.S. performance this summer," said Lass via phone on Tuesday. "When that was over I started watching locally and went to the game against the Galaxy. We just had a blast that day. The experience, the people, the park atmosphere – the whole thing was just phenomenal."
Not too long after that match, Lass went online and checked out the club's new All-In for 2011 Season Tickets and Benefits plan. His experience over Labor Day weekend and the 2011 incentives were what put him over the edge, purchasing two Premier Season Tickets for 2011.
"The monthly payment plan was the one thing that really sparked my interest. That was something that I'd never seen before – certainly not in the city. I price season tickets for the Blackhawks and different teams in the area, but that one and the free parking passes – those are incentives that really pay for themselves."
Though a more recent fan, Lass has followed the team rather closely since really finding the game over the summer and although the team hasn't had the greatest season, the North Aurora native thinks there's reason to be optimistic for 2011.
"I think the team over the last few games is actually playing really well. They're starting to get their groove a little bit with Ljungberg and having Pappa back from injury. It seems like they're gelling quite nicely. It's too bad they kind of had a slow patch there, but I think they've looked pretty good in their last few games. I'm really looking forward to next year – I think it's going to be a great season."
As for lunch, Lass plans on asking on asking Johnson about the pressures of being thrown into the starting role at such a young age.
"I'm excited for lunch. I'm interested to see what kind of influences Sean had growing up. I know he didn't start playing soccer as a kid but kind of came into it later during his teenage years. I'm really interested to see how it's all progressed and how he's handled being rushed into the spotlight."
The lunch will also be a special treat for Lass' girlfriend Stephanie, who counts Sean Johnson as her favorite player.
"She loves Sean Johnson," he said. "It works out perfectly. She was so happy when I told her she couldn't believe it – just kept saying, 'Really? Really?'"
The next Lunch with the Fire contest winner will be sitting down with new Fire President Julian Posada! Purchase or renew your 2011 Season Tickets by the end of Saturday's home finale vs. DC United and be entered to win lunch with the new Fire President!

Setting the Scene: How did Services get to Bolkestein and Why?
This paper traces the origins of the recently adopted general services directives of the European Union, and addresses the question why such an important piece of internal market legislation was adopted so recently, and anyway well after the 1992 deadline for the completion of the internal market. It argues that piecemeal liberalisation of services has occurred on a regular basis ever since 1992. For each of those specific service directives, the EU institutions decided on the appropriate regulatory mix between liberalisation and targeted harmonisation. This regulatory mix was largely abandoned in the Commission's original proposal to introduce the country-of-origin principle across all services covered by the directive. It is argued in this paper that this regulatory shift was ill-advised and explains the strong political resistance which the original 'Bolkestein' draft encountered from the side of other political and civil society actors, leading to a rather different outcome in the final version of the directive.

A Slower Pace - Poem by Mark Bratlie
Quick, quick, hurry, hurry
time is passing with a flurry
Things to do, no time to linger
life is caught up in a wringer
But whoa, whoa, let's slow the pace
life need not be an all-out race
What of life's gifts that pass on by
as treasures lost to make one cry
Seasons' colors and nature's beauty
ask for time for us to see
A slower pace allows some focus
as life's wonders beg for notice
A leaf, a cloud, a summer shower
a rainbow's arc, a full moon's power
A child's giggle, a lover's sigh
a sweet embrace, a refreshing cry
An open mind, a relaxing breath
a calm acceptance of life and death
The invitation is ours to ponder
as we focus on a life of wonder
Poet's Notes about The Poem
a place that helps me to slow my pace

OAKLAND — A 45-minute standoff Monday afternoon between police and a man underneath the Interstate 880 overpass in downtown Oakland forced the closure of entrances to the Webster tube, police said Monday afternoon.
The man, who at one point took off all his clothes while police talked to him, surrendered at 1 p.m. The incident unfolded about 12:15 p.m. at a homeless camp under I-880, between Broadway and Webster Street.
The man had reportedly threatened another man with a hammer. Police called in mental health team workers to talk to the man, who was talking incoherently.
Police negotiators were able to establish some rapport with the man and he voluntarily surrendered at 1 p.m.
Police said he would be psychiatrically evaluated and he could be arrested on suspicion of brandishing a weapon and making terrorist threats.

My favorite sub-genre in all of horror isn't a sub-genre at all, really; it's just an element.

I am having trouble on how to write a Josephus program.... could someone send me the josephus program in C too email@example.com I would be very thankful.
What exactly is a Josephus program?
My brother Josephus wrote a program once.
Make sure you have read this...
...but I, too, am curious about what it actually is.
There's an algorithm here. If you can't convert it to C, doing a search on google might help.
I was reading the reccomended site and wondered what does @ do? By the way, what language was that in?
i'm guessing it's pascal, it looked a lot like basic though... and it's not that hard to follow so you can plug it in yourself...
Must be pascal. Gosub *v(1,2,3) is not valid in BASIC. It would have to be changed to gosub 40 or another valid line number.
There are no official pointers in BASIC. You can do them, but it is not at all like C or PASCAL. The * character in BASIC means multiply and nothing else. This codes also looks a bit strange to even be Pascal, though.
It's definately not pascal code. I've written pascal some 5 years ago. Pascal's more C-like language.
It's UBasic. Don't know what it means though, probably Ugly-Basic or something :p PASCAL looks waaaaaaay more structured.
Edited to add:
I am having trouble with girls.... could someone send me the girl of my dreams to nvoigt@... I would be very thankful. :p:p:p
@ is the remainder after integer division operator, (like our %).
oh okay, well i was close! same thing! basik, pascal, fortran, cobol...it's all a blur (whizz!!!!) to me... :)

(and it could be worse if several players are in this situation...) i would like to see this happening.

Budget Cuts May Affect Everything From Blue Angels To Hanford
An analysis by Channel Four has found that the automatic federal spending cuts that started taking effect last Friday could kill Seafair's annual Blue Angels show, take out a lot of jobs and might slow things like Hanford nuclear waste repairs and new housing projects. The cuts will take effect gradually over the next few months.
Joint Base Lewis-McChord Issues Release On Sequestration
Joint Base Lewis-McChord says the automatic federal spending cuts could mean up to 22 furlough days for as many as eleven-thousand civilian base employees for the rest of this year, starting in mid-April. The base says furlough days would probably be Fridays. The Navy is facing a similar picture in Kitsap and Snohomish counties and on Whidbey Island.

Astronomers announced today the discovery of the largest object in the solar system since Pluto was named the ninth planet in 1930. The object is half the size of Pluto, composed primarily of rock and ice, and circles the sun once every 288 years.
Named Quaoar (pronounced KWAH-o-ar), the object resides in the Kuiper belt, a region of the sky beyond the orbit of Pluto and about 4 billion miles (6.5 billion kilometers) from Earth. The Kuiper belt is chock full of remnants from the planet-formation era of the solar system.
Scientists study the Kuiper belt to understand what the solar system was like when it formed. They have theorized for several years that objects the size of Quaoar and bigger exist in the region, but until now had not detected anything quite so large.
"My first reaction was 'wow, that is a bright object and looks like it could be really big,'" said Chad Trujillo, a researcher at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
"My second reaction was I wonder why no one has seen this before. It is almost bright enough that a dedicated amateur could find it at a dark site with a 16-inch [41-centimeter] telescope."
Trujillo is working with colleague Mike Brown to survey the Kuiper belt with the 48-inch (122-centimeter) Oschin Telescope at the institute's Palomar Observatory. The telescope is equipped with a charge-coupled device (CCDthe same technology used in digital cameras), which is sensitive to faint objects.
The discovery of Quaoar was announced today at the meeting of the Division of Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society in Birmingham, Alabama.
"Quaoar is an awesome object that fits well with the existing picture of the Kuiper belt," said Dave Jewitt, a professor at the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy in Honolulu and an expert in the study of Kuiper belt objects.
Sizing Up Quaoar
Since Quaoar was discovered on June 4, the researchers have measured it with a heat-sensitive telescope at the International Institute for Research in Millimeter Astronomy (IRAM) in France and the Hubble Space Telescope.
The 98-foot (30-meter) IRAM telescope measures the amount of heat emitted by an object. Larger objects emit more heat. This measurement is combined with an optical measurement to determine size.

You can feel the rush.
For some reason the second pic doesn't appear in my OP. Fingers crossed it will here.
I can remember coaxing my youngest son to do similar a few years ago
Not impressed. I've been able to do that for weeks.
your garden needs a bit of work
Absolutely brilliant! I was showing my 7 y-o how to lift the front wheel over a drop today, but I'm pretty sure he'd baulk at that one!
I'm impressed. Only one foot on the pedals but nice attack position, elbows nicely bent. Good on her.
Ace pics
Pah! She's got gears. And no beard. Amateur.

Strafford Regional Planning Commission supports efforts to conserve the natural resource values of our coastal watershed lands. To ensure a healthy environment into the future, it is essential that communities identify, retain, and protect the remaining undeveloped lands and waters. These are lands and waters that support the most important of the natural resource values and functions, as established by private individuals, municipalities, and local, regional and national land trusts.
Strafford Regional Planning Commissions works with communities and nonprofits to identify lands and waters, and to develop and implement voluntary and regulatory land conservation strategies. Our priorities are to assist with the protection of land through acquisition and to assist with the regulation of the location, density and design of development in the area.
Please contact SRPC for further information at email@example.com.
The goal of The Land Conservation Plan for New Hampshire's Coastal Watersheds is to focus conservation on those lands and waters that are most important for conserving living resources -- native plants, animals, and natural communities -- and water quality in the coastal watersheds. The Plan identifies and describes a portfolio of areas that represent the best remaining opportunities to conserve the critical ecological, biological, and water resources of NH's coastal watersheds, and identifies and describes a set of voluntary regulatory land conservation strategies available for protecting these important areas. Where are the most significant areas for focusing conservation resources? Why are the areas so important? And how can communities conserve these areas?

WASHINGTON, April 6 (UPI) -- The Bush administration is making its third attempt to change U.S. law to allow some foreign aid to be spent on locally produced food.
Under current law, all U.S. food aid must be spent in the United States and shipped to the recipients, usually on U.S. vessels, which can take as long as six months. By that time, many of those people the food is intended for could be dead of starvation, The New York Times reports.
In Zambia, the World Food Program is struggling to feed people being treated for AIDS. As they recover, they need more to eat.
Opponents of the Bush proposal, which has failed to pass Congress twice, say the U.S. food program, the largest in the world, depends on the backing of agricultural and shipping interests.
"It is a mistake of gigantic proportions, because support for such a program will vanish overnight, overnight," said Rep. Tom Lantos, D-Calif., Chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee.

dbest market Best yet market fired due to my disability west babylon New York
I started working at best market on June 21st 2013. At the time I was hired I had told both the manager and the assistant manager I had a few disabilities and was prescibed medication. I told them that I wasn't going to remember everything right away and they said that was fine. The next day I was having some stomach pains at work and the assistant manager allowed me to leave early I promised him I would be back the next day. I came in the next day and the manager asked me what was wrong I told him the medication occasionly upsets my stomach On June 29th I had oreintation I was suppose to go to work after it was over. I called up because my stomach was hurting again plus I started getting tremors towards the ending of oreintation all due to my medication I promised I would be in the next day. On July 1st my manager asked if I had come in the day before like I said and I told him yes and that I was gonna change my medication. The next day June 2nd I was having trouble slicing the one meat I had ased the other co worker if she could help me she did but told the manager that I couldn't do it. The manager got me aisde and asked me what the problem was I told him that I was having a little trouble slicing the one meat. He told me that things aren't gonna work out because I don't seem to know everything that I'm not learning fast like the other workers. I had reminded him about my disabilities and he said he didn't know that I didn't write it on the application. I had reminded him that I told him when I first started I had a disability that's why I'm on medication. I also told him that there was nothing written on the application that asks if I had a disability or gave me and space to write aadditional information. After that he looked like he was scared and just told me to leave and go home.

Were those Morser Carl or Leopold (I always get them mixed up) parts on the original model? Never realized those often-used kits had found their way into Trek. Excellent repro in the smaller scale.
Were those Morser Carl or Leopold (I always get them mixed up) parts on the original model? Never realized those often-used kits had found their way into Trek. Excellent repro in the smaller scale.
Thank you. The piece on the original studio model was a 1/72 German Leopold Railgun, and as far as the kit pieces finding their way into Trek ships, they were made by the same guys that made the Star Wars ships, so that probably figures.
Got a little more done.
I'm nearly finished with the outside of the nacelle.
Totally, 100%, F'in amazing.....
Impressive as always.
This will go beautifully with the Polar Lights Enterprise!
Still recreating Leopold parts for the scale I need. Actual kit piece shown next to my scratchbuilt piece.
Well what do ya know? HAND CRAFTED SCRATCH BUILDING happening right under our noses!
This shows that accuracy and quality can be done with a mixture of man and machine.
Looking back on that fine "hand crafted" bridge module detail again... and the two nacells with their added features and created parts? This is one AMAZING BEASTIE!!!
Wonderful work!
I've finished the nacelles inner and outer halves.
Sorry for asking a silly question, but is this ST:TMP or STVI:UC?
Good question Rob.
Star Trek TMP had the K'Tinga that Richard is doing now.
Star Trek VI TUC had the Chronos One, which is an very updated K'tinga with lit nacells and a tone more of photo etch detailing.
Richard..... duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!
Don't matter - I'm getting this beaut regardless!
It could be from Escape to Witch Mountain for all I care- I still gotta get one!
Looking good!
I may have to get this also!!
Would look good nose to nose with the Enterprise!
Hey Richard,
Just out of curiosity, did you try the 1/144 Leopold kits that came out a couple years ago? They have the same parts breakdown. Just asking
Boy those engines look great! The detailing is A++!
I bought a 1/144 scale Leopold and I was able to get 2 parts out of it, one of which was one I already scratchbuilt so I'll be replacing that one from the one I got out of the kit.
I'm working on the neck now.
Why we do not have an emoticon for drooling, I'll never know...
Looks fantastic Richard! As always, you are creating another masterpiece!
Starting to work on the ball section now.
Your work is just facinating!
(Am I clear...?)
Someone get a bucket for that man!

Euro Track Champs livestreaming right now
Yo. Here's a link to the livestream of the European Track Championships.
I didn't get to watch but it sounds like the men's points race was good. I always root for Viviani and he had a great Olympics.
I know it's nothing new, but it's nice to see trackies do well on the road and track. It has that old timey feel about it or something. With Wiggins and Cav talking about hitting the boards again we could definitely see a resurgence in people taking track more seriously.

Spergon Wynn had something to get off his chest, he did it, and now he's moved on.
Wynn unleashed a profanity-laced tirade last October, saying the fact that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers never gave him a chance to take a single snap was "ridiculous."
In February, the quarterback was traded to the Toronto Argonauts for safety Mike Crumb (since retired) and a draft pick.
Tonight, he will make his first CFL start since 2003 against the Bombers at Canad Inns Stadium.
"It worked out good for me," Wynn said yesterday after greeting about a dozen of his former teammates with big hugs. "I'm in a good place, and that's another reason why I don't really have any ill feelings (towards the Bombers).
"I felt like they treated me right at the end. They gave me an opportunity to get out there and get some action."
Wynn is starting tonight because Damon Allen is out with a broken finger.
THE WAIT IS OVER: The arbitration case involving holdout linebacker Kyries Hebert and the Bombers will begin Tuesday in Winnipeg.
Meanwhile, Hebert responded yesterday to a report that said he had cashed the $25,000 bonus cheque the Bombers sent to him after they claimed him off waivers in April.
Hebert wrote on his website that the cheque was cashed in error by someone in his advisor's office. He said he only learned of the transaction recently and has already repaid the money.
LATE HITS: As of 4 p.m. yesterday, 24,542 tickets had been sold for tonight's game ... Bombers head coach Doug Berry's father Russ has flown in from New Hampshire to catch his son's first home game as Bombers boss ... Fans are asked to bring a non-perishable food item tonight for the Purolator Tackle Hunger program.

Yankees tab Igawa for Friday's start
Lefty to be recalled while Kennedy regains form in Triple-A
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
The 28-year-old Igawa will take the ball in place of right-hander Ian Kennedy, who was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, when the Yankees added right-hander Darrell Rasner to their big league roster.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that he hopes to see Igawa throw strikes down in the zone against the Tigers, a team he has never faced. Igawa is 3-3 with a 3.86 ERA in seven starts for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, having allowed 33 hits in 39 2/3 innings, while walking 12 and striking out 40.
"When I saw him in Spring Training, especially the end of Spring Training, I saw his stuff down a lot more," Girardi said. "I thought he threw a lot more quality strikes with his fastball. He has the ability to strike people out, but in that sometimes he gets in long counts and throws a lot of pitches per inning, and that hurts you."
Last season, Igawa offered the Yankees underwhelming returns on their $46 million investment, which included a $26 million posting fee paid to the lefty's Japanese club, the Hanshin Tigers, and a five-year Major League contract.
After making the Opening Day roster, Igawa was just 2-3 with a 6.25 ERA in 14 games (12 starts) for New York, serving three stints with the Yankees and being sent all the way down to Class A Tampa in May, with hopes of fixing his mechanics.
Girardi said that he hoped Igawa's troubles last year were more due to the transition process from baseball in Japan, where Igawa led the Central League in strikeouts in 2002, '04 and '06, compiling a career record of 86-60 with a 3.15 ERA in 190 games (179 starts), including a 20-win season in 2003, when he was named the league's Most Valuable Player.
"I think it's just adjustments to baseball here," Girardi said. "They have to adjust to so many different things. First, you have the language barrier, and then you have the time schedule. There, they start every six or seven days, and here we start every five. It's a huge adjustment."
Yankees catcher Chad Moeller caught Igawa at Triple-A and said that Igawa's mission to handle the Tigers is simple.
"He needs to throw strikes," Moeller said. "He was keeping the ball down and pounding the strike zone. If he looks like that, he'll be in good shape."
Kennedy made his first Triple-A start of the season for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre against Charlotte on Tuesday, after going 0-2 with an 8.37 ERA through his first six appearances (five starts) of the season with the Yankees.
Girardi said that he expected Kennedy to make at least two starts in the International League before being considered for a recall, and that he planned to call Scranton/Wilkes-Barre manager Dave Miley after checking Kennedy's line on www.MiLB.com.
"I'm anxious to see how he does," Girardi said.

San Diego County Planning and Development Services will hold a workshop on Friday, Jan. 17, to discuss possible changes to the tiered winery ordinance.
Many winery owners in Ramona say they will attend and are against the proposed changes, which they say create more restrictions for boutique wineries.
Anyone planning to attend was asked to RSVP by Jan. 15 to Joe Farace at email@example.com or
The workshop will begin at 10 a.m. in the public hearing chambers in the San Diego County Operations Center, 5520 Overland Ave., San Diego.
