With all the stories on kids and bullying, I felt ...
My colleague Helen's written about 25 reasons it was great to be a girl in the 80s (although she left out The Breakfast Club) and it got me thinking about three things my kids will almost certainly never do that I did all the time.
1. Be tethered to a rotary phone — where parents can hear the conversation.
Or, for that matter, dial anyone.
2. Wait in line and hope they don't run out of copies of the latest release
iTunes, yo.
3. Ride in the 'far back' of the station wagon
It's amazing we survived.
What will your kids never do that you did growing up?
A friend of mine posted this video on their facebook page and I instantly fell in love with it.
The fact that these fine young men were able to see beyond the numbers on the scoreboard to make a team member feel special and important is beyond admirable.
Take a look at the video.
I'm pretty sure you're going to want to hug everyone in sight once you've seen it.
Did you love it as much as I did?
You don't.
You're meant to buy more. (FYI, last year alone, $14 million was raised from selling 18 million poppies.)
if you want to keep it, here's some suggestions:
Oh, and poppies of any other colour? Just plain tacky.
Now go out and wear them (and lose them) with pride and remembrance.
I'm facing a huge parenting conundrum.
Ok, maybe huge is a bit too much. Let's say a large conundrum.
Baby Boy's fish died and I'm not sure what to do.
Do I tell him?
Do I sneak in a replacement?
Do I let him discover it on his own?
Do I ignore it and pretend he won't notice? (Let's be honest, he's 7 and it's a fish he forgets to feed, so he might not. However his sister's fish, who she also forgets to feed, is still roaring away, so…)
I know, I know, it's the whole circle of life thing, but still. It's one of those traumatic moments for a parent. When I went to feed them this morning, fish not kids, it was a wee bit gut wrenching. That fish and I have been through a lot. Like me cursing while cleaning his tank.
But I digress.
Have you gone through this?
What did you do?
Sure, last year I took issue with "Orange & Black Day", and I find it a bit ridiculous that it's become an issue once again this year.
I love the pumpkins, the costumes, the decorations and the joy that comes from Hallowe'en.
And yes, I am the mom who makes every kid that comes to my door perform a "trick" for their "treat".
I figure, if I'm forking out that much money on mini candy bars and sticker treat boxes, I deserve to be entertained, or at least have a good laugh. So everyone who rings my bell has to have a joke, a song or a skit ready.
Some of the kids love it and pull out all the stops. Others…well, that's an article for another day.
But I have a different question for this year. It's not really a peeve, I just find it perplexing: why are there so many gravestones?
There used to be a sporadic spattering throughout our 'hood, but now it seems that every lawn is sprawled out with R.I.P. blazoned across their greenery.
What's up with that?
Is there a mommy memo I missed? Is this the cool thing for the ghouls this year? To be honest, I'm starting to find it kind of disturbing.
I know, I know, it's All Hallow's Eve, but still! can't we just keep it cute and cuddly instead of crawly and creepy? I like the mysterious and spooky, but when I'm doing the school run and continually passing hands coming out of fake grave markers, it's a bit unnerving.
Maybe I've just been reading too much of Maggie Stiefvater's the Raven Boys series. Maybe I should revert to soft, cuddly, benign Edward Cullen instead…
Though people may be starting to cool their heels a bit about the potential lyric changes, leave it to the marketers to get in on the changes.
The debates about the lyrics were so hot and heavy, and yet no one's even mentioned this:
Except my kids.
Who thought it was stupid.
"Why would they do that to the anthem, mom?" asked Darling Daughter.
Baby Boy piped in "isn't it disrespectful?"
"Well, yes," I explained, "it is. But, it also got your attention, so it means it was an effecive advertizing tool."
"So it's just another ad?"
"They shouldn't do that."
"You're right they shouldn't."
Now pass me a pizza sub…
So a group of prominent Canadian women have decided our national anthem isn't quite up to snuff and are petitioning for change.
"The words "all thy sons command" in the English national anthem suggests that only male loyalty is being invoked," Margaret Atwood said in a statement.
Of course Margaret Atwood's at the helm. As soon as you heard "prominent Canadian women" did you expect anyone else?
She goes on to say that "Restoring these lyrics to gender-neutral is not only an easy fix to make our anthem inclusive for all Canadians, but it's also long overdue."
Oh really Margaret? Cause I'm pretty sure I was in school with your daughter when the lyrics were last changed to include the Judeo-Christian God, effectively alienating a whole lot of other people.
But there were men in that group, so I guess it didn't count.
Do we also need to change manholes to utility covers? Because if you start there, where does it end? What about humanity to hupeopleity? And the ever popular women to womyn? I realise we ride a fine line between tradition and equality, but there has to be a happy medium somewhere. A place where we can accept our history without constantly changing it to make us feel better.
I find it interesting to note that the original lyrics to O Canada, written by, oh English Canada don't cringe, French people, have never changed.
Calixa Lavallee and Adolph-Basile Routhier can rest easy. Their lyrics, with nary reference to gender, can't offend anyone.
Except those who don't like floral wreaths…
When I asked my 10 year old feminist daughter what she though of the proposed change, the first thing she asked was "what do they want to change it to?"
I told her they want to change "in all thy sons command" to "thou dost in us command."
Without skipping a beat she said "well that's really stupid," and started humming The Maple Leaf Forever.
I was going to pull out an old movie with watch with the kids, and as soon as my eye caught "Old Yeller", I thought of course! A great classic! A boy and his dog! They'll love it!
But as the day progressed and movie time neared, pangs of Mommy Guilt started kicking in.
Because I suddenly remembered, they shoot the dog in the end. Am I ready to traumatize my kids? Am I ready for the cries of "how could you do this to us?" For the nighttime sobs thinking about Yeller saving Travis and then later, as the rabies kicks in, growling at him ready to attack?
There are so many movies I want to share with the kids –films I loved as a child. But sometimes, I forget how old I was when I first saw them. Like Ghostbusters. I was 11 not, 7. And there's a big difference in appropriateness between 11 and 7. So I've held off on a lot of them. And for the moment, I held off on Old Yeller too.
We ended up watching The Horse Whisperer instead. I'd never seen it, but trusted friend had given it to me –"it's about a girl and her horse" she said enthusiastically.
If any of you remember it, then you'll understand when I tell you that we were ALL traumatized by that one. How on earth that got a PG rating is beyond me.
Annie is PG.
Harry Potter is PG.
But this??
Not appropriate!
But that's a rant for another day…
So I'm supposed to be at We Day today, but a snag has hit and I can't be there.
But the question I keep asking (and if you're reading, you must be too) is what exactly is We Day and why should I care?
Aside from the fact Canadian Living is a media sponsor (insert plug here), the We Day website tells me :"We Day is an educational event and the movement of our time—a movement of young people leading local and global change. We Day is tied to the yearlong We Act program, which offers curricular resources, campaigns and materials to help turn the day's inspiration into sustained activation."
What kind of marketing goop is that? Am I supposed to distill a message from that? And am I supposed to care?
And then I scroll further down and get to this:
"We Day is part of a family of organizations, including Free The Children and Me to We, that has a shared goal: to empower a generation to shift the world from 'me' to 'we'—through how we act, how we give, the choices we make on what to buy and what to wear, the media we consume and the experiences with which we choose to engage."
Bang! They won me over.
Because as I see our society sinking further down into a self-obsorbed, self-obsessed, insular, material-centric mess, I long for the good ol' days of Free To Be You and Me. The messages of folk singers on The Muppet Show like Harry Belafonte reminding us that we are all one and we can make a difference.
I still think David Suzuki must be sitting somewhere shaking his head saying "I told you so…"
So go their site, look at the presenters, read why they've chosen to take part, watch the youtube clips, and start the discussion.
"Mom, what do you do?"
"Well, I…"
I stop for a moment to think about it. In a day I:
But that's not what I tell them.
"Well, I…I write articles and take pictures of famous people."
"Ya, that's what we thought…"

Gaslighting is a systematic pattern of abuse by which the abuser manipulates factual information to give the victim the impression that they cannot trust their own senses. It should not be confused with discounting or minimizing, two very different forms of verbal abuse that are far more common.
Yashar Ali has no idea what 'gaslighting' means.

Rosana Toledo
Rosana Toledo
Starting as a romantic singer, Rosana also had success in the disco and MPB styles with her gospel-tinged vocal interpretations. Singing since her early teens in her father's group, Casanova's, in 1981 she made her debut in the MPB Shell festival (TV Globo), but her first hit came only with "Nem Um Toque", from a demo tape that ended up being included in the nationwide TV Globo soap opera Roda de Fogo. The success was confirmed in 1987 with "O Amor e o Poder", for the also broadly popular soap opera of the same name. One of the most aired songs in that year, it also was included in her first LP, Cora��o Selvagem. Her 1989's LP Onde o Amor me Leva won the Sharp prize as the Best Record of the Year, while she also was awarded in the same year with the Globo Radio System trophy as the Best Singer of the Year, followed by performances in Portugal and Mexico. In 1990 he launched the Spanish version of that album for the Latin market, Por Donde el Amor me Lleva and the unedited Doce Pecado, which had a hit with "Riscos do Amor", included in the soundtrack of the soap opera Salom� (TV Globo). Awarded in the same year with the Imprensa trophy as the Best Singer of the Year, in 1994 Essa Sou Eu brought her the Sharp prize in the same category. Her disco-oriented Vende Peixe-se (1996) had a hit with "Linha de Fogo", included in the soundtrack of the TV Globo series Malha��o. After a period retired to look after her newborn child, she returned to the artistic scene in 1999, participating in the commemorations of the Banco do Brasil Culture center for the 90 years of Carmen Miranda's birth. ~ Alvaro Neder, Rovi

Columbia tragedy affects a variety of NASA contractors
- Michael Whiteley and David Wethe
- Staff Writers
Jeff Adams, a spokesman at Lockheed Martin Corp.'s Bethesda, Md., headquarters, declined comment on NASA's contacts with Lockheed Missiles and Fire Control since the accident. But he added that swift moves to secure data behind the production of aircraft parts in cases such as the shuttle probe are normal.
Beyond the contracts based in the Metroplex, Lockheed Martin partnered with Chicago-based Boeing Co. in 1996 to form United Space Alliance L.L.C., which topped the list of NASA's Texas contracts with $1.7 billion in space work in 2001.
In Hurst, officials for Bell Helicopter Textron, which contracted for slightly more than $1 million of work in 2001, aren't concerned about the company's future with NASA, said Carl Harris, a Bell spokesman.
"We're strictly in the research-and-development field," Harris said. "Those are the kinds of things where you're looking far out, like 15 to 20 years. NASA is not considered one of our primary customers."
Dave Wester, president of Prentex Alloy Fabricators Inc., said his Dallas company has worked with NASA off and on since the 1960s and sometimes depends heavily on NASA orders.
"We've had some good work the last couple of years from them," said Wester, whose company accounted for $471,000 in NASA contracts in 2001. "But, whether we'll have anything from them the year after next, it just depends on what they need and where they're spending the money."
Recalling the Challenger
Meanwhile, the engineers at Entech are awaiting word from NASA in what's becoming an eerie throwback to 1986. The then-3-year-old solar power company won its first NASA contract a week after the Jan. 28, 1986, explosion of the space shuttle Challenger.

Groth Guide to Forest Park Southeast
Published on Monday, 10 January 2011 13:42
Written by Mark Groth
Mark Groth has been documenting City of St. Louis neighborhoods since 2009 on his
St. Louis City Talk
blog. To date, he has covered 58 of the city's 79 official neighborhoods. His excellent guides will now be available on this site with added development images and information, as well as other updates. The first to appear here is Forest Park Southeast.
Forest Park Southeast is a south St. Louis neighborhood bound by I-64 to the north, the rail line and I-44 to the south, Vandeventer Avenue to the east and Kinshighway Boulevard to the west.
Two census tracts (outlined in blue), 1186 (top) and 1181 (bottom) overlap the neighborhood (outlined in yellow). The 2005-09 American Community Survey estimates a combined 4,540 residents, while the 2000 census counted 4,970 residents, an almost 9% decrease in population.
However, FPSE is a tale of two neighborhoods, north and south of Manchester Avenue. North of Manchester is estimated to have gained 8% in population, with south of Manchester losing 33%. Vacant property north has increased 9% while increasing 35% south. Racial demographics are starkly different as well. The white population is up 76% overall, 29% south and 97% north. The black population has decreased 38% overall: 47% south and 31% north. In 2000, the neighborhood was 25% white and 75% black. Today it is estimated to be 49% white and 51% black.
From the
FPSE website
Forest Park Southeast is an up-and-coming neighborhood with a mix of single- and multi-family homes on quiet streets along with trendy restaurants and bars in the Grove district along Manchester Avenue. FPSE comprises the four distinct neighborhoods of Adams Grove, Gibson Heights, New Boyle and Ranken East.
The neighborhood is convenient to Washington University Medical Center, Barnes Jewish Hospital, St. Louis Children's Hospital, the Central West End, the Science Center and, as its name implies, Forest Park. Forest Park Southeast is located near both Interstate 64/Highway 40 and Interstate 44, with a Metrolink stop just a few blocks north of the neighborhood.
The above mention of proximity to BJC is very true, and with the upgrade of I-64, there is a nice pedestrian crossing to access BJC, the CWE and Forest Park. FPSE is also a quick jog down Tower Grove Avenue to the Missouri Botanical Gardens.

{view of I-64 footbridge looking south from Euclid Avenue}
It's also good to see I'm not alone in calling this an "up and coming" neighborhood.
A little history from the FPSE website:
Before 1989, the Forest Park Southeast neighborhood had been known by various names over the years. Originally, the area was known as Rock Spring, named for the large spring that was the principal source of the Mill Creek. Rock Spring drew a large crowd from the central city and became a resort where they could get away from the urban grind. The demographics of the area changed drastically, though, with the arrival of the Pacific Railway and the influx of industry that followed (www.stlouis.missouri.org). The construction of the Missouri Pacific railroad tracks and Manchester Road to Jefferson City in the 1850s made FPSE accessible.
However, Forest Park Southeast was developed primarily at the turn of the 20th century. The neighborhood was originally marketed as the city's first "subdivision" and was popular because of its convenient proximity to downtown and industry. Much of the housing development occurred prior to 1915 with infill activity occurring throughout the succeeding decades. Commercial development occurred primarily between 1930 and 1950.
Here is a reminder from the Rock Spring moniker for the neighborhood, the shuttered Providence Educational Center nee Rock Springs School):
As you can tell from the map and the description above, the south side of FPSE is defined by the railways. Among other operations, you'll find the City water division, Henry Plumbing (an excellent source for plumbing parts of all kinds), the Bed Guy, Luth Construction, and other various warehousing, distribution and light industry operations both operational and long since closed:
The south side of FPSE (using Manchester as the dividing line) has a high concentration of boarded up and abandoned properties:
Notice the black spray painted symbol on this property? They are all over the place in FPSE. Restoration Saint Louis is a
company of Amy and Amrit Gill
, who were responsible for the renovation of the Moolah and Coronado in
among other things. This is probably a good sign for FPSE:
There are probably more abandoned homes and corner storefronts in FPSE than any other south side neighborhood I've visited so far:
There are examples of new construction from the 1980's through the early 21st century:
It's pretty clear that the late 20th century inhabitants of FPSE were not the best stewards of the neighborhood. However, I really think things are looking up.
Don't get me wrong, the south side of FPSE is cool, it just needs some TLC and an influx of people who want smaller shotgun homes.
The section of the neighborhood north of Manchester has seen much more investment in the last 10-15 years. There is major potential here, especially with all the corner commercial opportunities:
{La Dolce Via - an attractive cafe with sidewalk seating.}
{This is one of my favorites. Check out the windmill above the 2nd floor window.}
{And this is right next door to the cool red building. The sign reads: "Center for Survivors of Torture and War Trauma"}
{One rehabbed, one to go.}
Many of the streets are closed off with bollards and cul de sac'ed. I still don't get why this is necessary.
And if those photos don't convince you that FPSE is a great up and coming neighborhood, the recently proposed
Chouteau Park
space near the former natural gas towers has a huge potential to draw people to FPSE, and it will be visible from I-64 and the Tower Grove Ave. exit:
Adams Elementary is on Tower Grove Avenue and has a modern upgrade to match the original structure built in 1899.
Directly adjacent to the school is another Cardinals Care baseball field, this one dedicated to former center fielder Jim Edmonds:
According to
this source
Edmonds donated $1 million -- $200,000 each season from 2001-05 to the team's charitable arm, Cardinals Care. Cardinals Care unveiled Jim Edmonds Field in June 2001 in Forest Park Southeast.
Don't like the public schools? How about a French and Spanish
language immersion charter school
? The first of it's kind in the area can be found at 4011 Papin Street:
Some nice old churches dot the neighborhood:
But the real claim to fame for FPSE is its main street commercial district, Manchester with several businesses services, night clubs and restaurants deemed the Grove. When I first moved to STL in 1994, This stretch of Manchester between Kingshighway and Vandeventer was pretty desolate; it's amazing how much progress has been made in the last 10 years:
{This storefront is sweet.}
{I like the senior assisted living buildings, just not the empty corner at Manchester and Kingshighway.}
Many buildings along Manchester have been redone. However there are still a handful that await their turn:
Some sights along Vandeventer:
{The former Billy Goat Tavern}
{This stretch of store front is attractive, can't understand why things haven't taken off here.}
A former fire station is available for sale/lease:
I really like the Chouteau building, too bad it's fallen victim to some urban poaching:
The Thomas Coffee Co. headquarters on Boyle is an impressive employer, who seems committed to the city and has been
featured here on urbanSTL
. They've been roasting coffee under this roof since 1905.
Thomas isn't the only coffee roaster in FPSE:
FPSE has seen an amazing amount of investment over that last 10 or so years. I think the positivity will continue both north and south of Manchester to make FPSE yet another great south side neighborhood that will draw all kinds of people to live, work and play.
In some ways, FPSE continues to be on the cusp of something great. A number of businesses along Manchester Avenue have recently closed, including Mia Rosa, FIVE, Newstead Tower Public House and others. New businesses have moved in: The HandleBar, Randy's Recycled Cycles, Flavors, Not Just a Bookstore and more. SPACEarchitects recently moved from Webster Groves into one of the least attractive buildings on Manchester, turning it into a landmark with an incredible renovation.
The largest projects include the newly installed "Grove" neon sign over Manchester at the east end of the neighborhood, a proposed 200+ unit, four story apartment building at Chouteau and Taylor, the multi-million dollar Manchester streetscape project, potential conversion of the seven story building at Manchester and Vandeventer into a hotel, the redevelopment of the very large Commerce Bank site and the now two-year-old proposal to build a twin tower Drury Inn at Kingshighway and I-64.

In addition, modern single-family residential infill has been proposed for FPSE (

{newcomer Randy's Recycled Cycles and mainstay the Atomic Cowboy}
Forest Park Southeast continues to change, but has maintained much of its history. Nearly all buildings shown in the 1950's photos are still standing on Manchester.

MB USA Releases S-Class W222 Presentation Footage [Video]
text size: A- A+
Featuring a male model that appears a bit younger than how an usual S-Class owner looks like, the film depicts some of the most important technological breakthroughs that the "Sonder Klasse" brings at the table.
We are of course talking about things like the car having not a single light bulb but LED both inside and outside, or systems like the Magic Body Control or the interior ionizer and perfume dispenser.
The new S-Class also features every touchable surface with a heating option – including the armrests and the steering wheel, hot stone massage in the seats and business class individual seats that can recline in the rear.
Safety wise, there's the Distronic Plus with Steering Assist system, which can basically make the car drive, steer and brake itself at lower speeds, while the rear seat belts also have integrated airbags.

NBA Finals: Manu Ginobili leads Spurs past Heat and within one victory of title
SAN ANTONIO — Across three NBA championships and more than 100 playoff victories together, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili have built a bond most teammates will never share.
So maybe Ginobili could ignore it when he was suddenly being criticized around San Antonio.
You better believe it bothered the others.
"Yeah, of course," Parker said. "Because for everything he did for the franchise, I thought it was a little bit too harsh. We understand it's a business. He came out big tonight."
Just like Parker said he would.
Ginobili broke out of a slump in a big way with 24 points and 10 assists in his first start of the season, and the Spurs beat the Miami Heat 114-104 on Sunday night to take a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals.
Parker scored 26 points, Duncan had 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Ginobili had his highest-scoring game of the season as the Spurs became the first team to shoot 60 percent in a finals game in four years.
"He's such a huge part of what we do and how far we've come. You can see it tonight in how we played and the results of the game," Duncan said. "We're always confident in him. … We know he has it in him. We hope he can bring it forward for one more win."
Danny Green smashed the NBA Finals record for 3-pointers, hitting six more and scoring 24 points. Kawhi Leonard finished with 16, but the stage was set when Ginobili trotted out with Duncan, Parker and the rest of starters in what could have been the last finals home game for a trio that's meant so much to San Antonio.
One more victory and the Spurs' Big Three, not Miami's, will be the one that rules the NBA.
And a big reason was Ginobili, as he's been for so long — just not during what had been a miserable series for the former Sixth Man of the Year.
"I was angry, disappointed," Ginobili said. "We are playing in the NBA Finals, we were 2-2, and I felt I still wasn't really helping the team that much," Ginobili said. "And that was the frustrating part."
On Sunday, it was all forgotten.
"He's obviously very popular. He's been here a long time. He's helped us have a lot of success over the years," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade each scored 25 points for the Heat, who host Game 6 on Tuesday night. They need a victory to force the first Game 7 in the finals since the Lakers beat the Celtics in 2010.
Miami's Big Three formed a few weeks after that game, with predictions of multiple titles to follow. Now they're a loss away from going just 1 for 3 in finals to start their partnership, while the Spurs could run their perfect record to 5 for 5.
"This is the position we're in and the most important game is Game 6," James said. "We can't worry about a Game 7, we have to worry about Game 6."
Duncan won his first title in 1999, and Parker and Ginobili were with him for three championships since. They have been the perfect partnership, keeping the Spurs in the hunt virtually every year while teams such as the Lakers, Mavericks and Suns have all risen and fallen in the Western Conference during that time.
They remained unbeaten in Game 5s, including two previous victories when the series was tied at 2-2. Of the 27 times the finals have been tied at 2-2, the Game 5 winner has won 20 of them.
Miami was the most recent loser, falling to Dallas in Game 5 in 2011 before being eliminated at home the next game.
"We're going to see if we're a better ballclub and if we're better prepared for this moment," Wade said.
San Antonio shot 42 of 70, right at 60 percent. The last team to make 60 percent of its shots in the finals was Orlando, which hit 62.5 in Game 3 against the Lakers in 2009, according to STATS.
"They just absolutely outplayed us," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "At times they were just picking one guy out at a time and going at us mano y mano. That will change."
Ray Allen scored 21 points on the night for the Heat as he watched Green shatter his finals 3-point record. Green has 25 3s in the series. Allen made 22 3-pointers in six games in the 2008 finals for Boston.
Chris Bosh scored 16 points for Miami, Wade had 10 assists, and James had eight assists and six rebounds, but it was their defense that let the Heat down in this one.
The Heat were within one with 3:05 left in the third quarter before Green hit yet another 3-pointer and Ginobili followed with the stretch that turned the game into the fourth straight blowout of the finals.
The crafty lefty plays with a flair developed on the courts of Argentina and perfected in Europe before coming to the NBA. He sees angles other players can't and takes risks few others would, but his style has been the perfect fit alongside Duncan and Parker.
He converted a three-point play, tossed in a floater with his left hand as he drifted right, and found Tiago Splitter under the hoop with a pass to make it 85-74.
He flipped in another runner with 2.9 seconds to go in the period, sending the Spurs to the fourth with an 87-75 lead as fans chanted "Manu! Manu!" during the break between the third and fourth quarters.
Ginobili had been averaging just 7.5 points on 34.5 percent shooting in the series, making only three of his 16 3-point attempts. But Popovich made the finals' second lineup change in two games, after the Heat inserted Mike Miller to start Game 4.
Ginobili didn't make a start this season and certainly hadn't been playing like someone who belonged with the first five. But in the Spurs' biggest game of the season, they remained confident he would break out, and they were right.
"I knew that I was not scoring much and I felt it in the air. But I tried not to care about it. I know I'm critical enough of myself to be worrying about what other people say," Ginobili said.
It was the first time he scored 24 or more points since having 34 on June 4, 2012, against Oklahoma City, according to STATS.
The AT&T Center crowd roared when Ginobili was the last starter announced, the cheers growing louder when he made a jumper — originally ruled a 3-pointer but later overturned by replay — on the first possession. He assisted on the Spurs' next three baskets, and it was 15-10 when he later hit a 3 that did count.
Parker picked it up from there, dancing his way into the lane repeatedly and scoring seven points in a 12-0 run that made it 29-17.
Leonard's 3-pointer with 4.7 seconds left, on an assist from Ginobili, made it 32-19 and gave the Spurs 12 makes in 19 attempts (63 percent) in the opening 12 minutes.
Green's third straight 3-pointer made it 45-28 about 5 minutes into the second quarter, and it seemed the trend of blowouts would continue.
But James suddenly got rolling during a 14-2 Miami spurt that cut it to five on his third consecutive Heat basket.
San Antonio made 21 of 34 shots (62 percent) in the first half, opening a 61-52 lead on Parker's drive with 0.4 seconds left.
Miami then ran off eight in a row to start the second half and get within one. They cut it to one again later in the period before Ginobili led the flurry that finished the Heat for good.
It was a fitting finish if it was the last home game in the finals for San Antonio's star trio, which has combined for 101 playoff victories. Ginobili has said he might think about retirement as he turns 36 next month, and Duncan is 37.
Both coaches said it was difficult waiting two days between games — Popovich said it was "like death" — though he did say it was great for the Spurs because they have some older players.
The break seemed to help his team early, particularly Parker, whose energy sagged in the second half of Game 4 as he struggled with a strained hamstring that he said could tear at any time and would've had him sidelined during the regular season.
If things fall right for the Spurs, he'll have plenty of time to heal after Tuesday.

ideas...maybe some will inspire you?
after finding a good deal on a fairly nice header (gruppe-s v2), ive decided to go the "do it right" route, and get it jet-hot coated. with this in mind, here are some other ideas i think i will implement in my car.......
bought a godspeed uppipe (used), but am sending that in with the header to get them coated with jet-hot 2000. at a later date (after i buy a pe1820f) i will send the pe1820f to deadbolt to get it port and polished. after i receive that back, i will send the turbo to get jet-hot 2000 coated on the outside...along with my godspeed downpipe to get the same coating. now since i dont have a stainless steel exhaust (GReddy EVO), i will at that time also send the greddy in to get jet-hot sterling coated. chicago winters are harsh. so much salt on the roads- exhausts go in no time if youre not careful. this way, with the whole exhaust coated, it will be rust-proof. also, since at this point, the entire exhaust will be coated, it should move the air more freely, while keeping in almost all of the heat in. my car as is, is like an oven under the hood. with this, im thinking it shouldnt be so bad. the gases should theoretically flow better, and thus spool the turbo quicker, and since the turbo will also be ported and polished, that bad boy should spool really well. one downside i can come up with- will this make the air coming out of the turbo hotter? ideally, i will live with the performance hit and get the turboxs tmic. i dont mind the 20whp loss, if i dont have to remount the battery, cut the bumper, remove the crash beam, get a new filter, blahblahblah. BUT since the turbo would be coated, and keeping more heat in, would it affect the cool side of the turbo enough to dramatically increase temps? part of the reason to coat everything would be to lower underhood temps, and hopefully get a cooler intake temp (short ram). maybe it would just balance out to no benefit. haha. sorry its so long, but these were some things i was thinking about on the way home from work today . lemme know what you think!!

Theoretically, if you increase the temperature going into the turbine, you will decrease the temperature coming out of it, or see no change in outlet temperature. The turbine efficiency would increase, since inlet temperature is the most important factor in turbine efficiency.
I would be more concerned about the possibility that the Subaru engineers rely on the heat transfer out of the turbo body to both keep the compressor outlet charge cooler, as well as the bearing. If you coat the turbo itself, you may risk overheating it Insulating the turbo back exhaust will improve scavenging, but it will also increase the likelihood of having a flow restriction at high rpm. If you get a big enough exhaust, it shouldn't be a problem. Coating the exhaust probably won't have much of an effect on under hood temperatures, since the IC and intake are mostly responsible for that, mostly. Coating anything on the compressor side will hurt your performance, since your goal is to lose as much heat from the system as possible. Overall, though you may like the look of the coating, the benefits will likely be unnoticeable. Port and polish, plus the other aftermarket parts are definitely inspirational. |

You probably won't see any big changes in any of the exhaust temp. Not a bad mod to do, just some what over rated in my opinion. It will not be "rust proof". It will be more corrosion resistent but it will eventually rust through.

from what I've seen, the Greddy EVO exhausts are usually rust through from inside out, so the coating may not be very helpful...

Dunhill London Mixture (50g tin)
Product Reviews
Good approaching great
Drew Parks
November 03, 2013
Great English tobacco. Similar to mm965 but more palatable and does not require a deep concentration to enjoy. Not enough latakia for my English tastes.
Great Premium Blend

I'm a long time fan of this blend. It has plenty of flavor, but minimal bite. The aroma is very pleasant. It's my personal favorite of Dunhill's blends.
Simply the Best!
Redford, MI
August 24, 2013
I purchased 5 tins of this London Mixture strictly on the 4.7 star rating, and am I glad I did! All the reviews are accurate. Very flavorful! It's not too strong, not too weak, a good smoke for morning or night. It has a nice little kick with NO bite! I've been smoking a pipe for about 4 years, if I knew I could have been smoking this for the same price (if not cheaper) than Captain Black from my neighborhood tobacco shop, I would have made the switch long long ago! Simply put, it's the best pipe tobacco I have ever smoked! There is a God!
Great everyday
July 17, 2013
Although there is nothing that knocks my socks off about this blend, it has become my go-to. The flavor and smoke are inoffensive and are much mellower than the smell of the tobacco, which seems to have a sharpness to it.

Too heavy for a morning smoke, bit too light for the evening. Smokes great, on the dry side. Tastes similar to NC, but as stated much lighter.
Wonderful smoke!
June 22, 2013
This is truly wonderful tobacco, burns so nice & evenly! One can tell almost instantly that this a quality smoke, a BIG difference from lesser brands I've tried, do yourself a favor, don't settle for less!

i have smoked about 10 tins of this offering. i love it. each can has been really consistent.
the charring light is nutty in flavor. it gets bolder as you smoke it. to bite, ever. its a perfect, balanced english mix

So far this is my favorite of Dunhill's English blends. It's a great balance that smokes great and has a very fulfilling flavor. The Latakia is noticeable and inviting while it rounds off with a nice, hidden sweetness. Smokey, full, with a pleasant (for an english) room note.
I've purchased it again and again and it's how I start just about every day. I wish I was more of a connoisseur so I could give intricate details about all of it's nuances but I'll just say that it's a reliable, pleasant, and full smoke that's sure to keep you coming back for more.

High Standard
June 05, 2013
Heh, Trish is relentless. I'm reviewing this because I'm afraid of getting email's for life. It's a Dunhill standard English blend. If you've never smoked it; you should. If you have you've read far more eloquent reviews than I could give. It's the Standard for English blends.

Thought this would be "strong" and would take getting used to... WRONG.
Mild enough for every day with still a lot of flavor. Much smoother and cooler than the sweet flavored brands. Like wine- try all kinds and you WILL be surprised!!!!
Italian Barolo is much better than White Zinfandel.IMH0-LOL

Dunhill is on top of the tobacco list for me (along with Peterson and Peter Stockeby) and their London mix is a blending masterpiece. This mixture has plenty of the lakatia aroma as could be found in "morning pipe, nightcape, old Dublin by Peterson or Balkan sorbanie" but it is nicely balanced with sweet tobaccos giving it a smooth and rich flavor and enjoyable aftertaste.
London Hits the Spot
February 28, 2013
The London Mixture is a highly received mix, and for good reason! The tobacco has a pleasing scent, it packs well, and I've never had problems with it going out
Keep coming back
Jim Hicks
February 16, 2013
I keep Dunhill's Mixture 965 around, but these days I wonder why. I am frequently disappointed. So London Mixture is replacing 965 in my rotation. The taste is to my liking. Packs well and smokes easily. I can't really point to the particular taste that attracts me, but it does the job.
February 07, 2013
room note is strong but pleasant. not aromatic, it smells of a campfire with hints if perhaps BBQ. the taste is similar. thick and deey smokey but also sweet. it tastes like the ideal to which all the natural smoke flavorings added to foods wish to achieve. clean slow burn with no bite. nicely complex without trying to be. not overpowering and though strong in flavor,which maintains to the end of the bowl, it does not have the smack in the face nic kick of nightcap. it's my go to everyday smoke.
Dunhill London
February 03, 2013
Ive just received a gift in the mail of Dunhill London Mixture. Well if I was a bit unsure of the existence of God before I opened the tin, im a believer now that I have smoked a couple of bowls of this tabak. This really is a beautiful mixture. I recommend it. You can really taste the flavour's in this one. If you are after a good English mixture Add this to your collection today. If Dunhill were to ever discontinue this mixture it would be a crime against humanity.
good idea
January 30, 2013
i reciently started smoking a pipe on a whim. the first tobacco i bought from a local shop that delt with more cigars and had a limited selection of pipes. the first tobacco i smoked was flavored and had alot of toungue bite. dunhill was my 2nd experience and boy, did it knock my socks off. its full and rich and exotic. the aroma of cracking the tin open to pack a fresh bowl... wow. if your new and looking for a good tobacco to start with. do yourself the justice and start with dunhill london mix.
since i dont really have a local tobacco shop that sells pipe tobacco www.pipesandcigars.com is my 1st choice.

No "wannabe" this
December 21, 2012
Ever wonder why seemingly countless tobaccos (and reviewers thereof) use phrases like "great for fans of [insert Dunhill name here]"? Answer that question and you'll have your review of almost every Dunhill pipe tobacco. Simply the standard by which all others are judged. Another great thing about them is their availability in shops around the world -- it's like having a good friend waiting for you wherever you end up without provisions.

A very tasty blend with simple flavors of which none dominate.A highly recommended blend for the smoker who loves the basics in an English blend. Good as an all day smoke.
Every bit as good as Murray's
August 31, 2012
In taking over the Dunhill brand from Murray's, Orlik has done a very good (sometimes better) job with some of the blends and they have punted badly on others, especially MM965. London Mixture is one of those blends that Orlik really has done a wonderful job with and IMHO it's even better than Murray's. I decided to do this review with a tin of Murray's from 2003 and a new tin from Orlik smoked side by side.. Keeping in mind that the age of the Murray's has the benefit of a few years, it is not an exact apple to apples review. Both the Murray's version and the Orlik version are very good. The ribbons in the Murray's are a bit wider. The tin scent has been altered by the age of the Murray's tin, but the tin smell is better in the Murray's. The scent of the Murray's is sweet and smoky, while the new Orlik, without the aged Virginia's is just plain smoky. The moisture level of each tin is such that it will not require dry time for most pipers. I like tobacco dry so ten minutes of dry time was enough for me. Keeping with the standard of Dunhill tobacco, each tin contains high quality leaf. After the charring light, I was surprised to find the Orlik tin to be nearly as sweet as the aged tin. I prefer to rub the ribbons down a little bit and I only find small differences in different bowl sizes. Both blends are balanced and the Orientals and Virginia's just sing. The Latakia makes itself known, but doesn't dominate. Like many Dunhill tobaccos, there is a visit from Lady N, but she doesn't move in. The bowls grew in strength as they progressed and the flavors become richer all the way to the end leaving a nice ash. If you are unhappy, as I am, with the new 965, LM is a great second choice. I am so pleased with the Orlik London Mixture that there will be no need to seek out the ever more expensive Murray's. Highly Recommended

The rebound in downtown housing as been a popular topic amongst local media with high-profile articles recently in The Daily Journal of Commerce suggesting that new construction presales are selling well after a five year hiatus. This imbalance of supply and demand was predicted years ago by Dean Jones, President of Realogics Sotheby's International Realty as discussed in an op-ed printed by The Puget Sound Business Journal called the Condo Supply Squeeze, which was published on June 10th, 2011.
"The next development cycle has started but it will be a few years before we feel the benefit of this new supply," said Jones. "In many ways, developers are playing catch up to a recovery that actually started more than a year ago. Savvy buyers have come off the sidelines realizing that timing the market has more to do now with securing preferred selection, locking in low interest rates and avoiding escalation in pricing ahead."
More recently, Jones spoke with Seattle Business Monthly on camera to share his views on the state of the in-city housing market and his perceptions that a number the new residents relocating to downtown Seattle and choosing to rent initially will eventually make their way into a condominium, especially if interest rates remain low, rents keep rising and consumer confidence is strong.

Program Excellence Award for Collaborative Children and Youth Initiatives: Populations of 20,000 and Under
Populations of 20,000 and Under
ICMA's Program Excellence Award for Collaborative Children and Youth Initiatives recognizes collaborative efforts between and among local units of government, schools, community groups, and citizens that promote children and youth as our future's most valuable resource, while fostering creative approaches toward improving the lives and quality of service delivered to children and at-risk youth. This year, ICMA presents the award in the 20,000-and-under population category to the town of Southern Pines, North Carolina, and to Town Manager Kyle R. Sonnenberg.
Recognizing the ongoing needs of at-risk children and youth in the community of Southern Pines, North Carolina, Town Manager Kyle Sonnenberg has guided the local government to initiate an array of collaborative youth efforts. As a result, the community's 9,600 residents can take advantage of programs designed to meet the diversified needs of local youth.
Since 1989, Southern Pines has implemented more than 10 programs that involve the local government and private and public organizations. Together with the Kiwanis Club, the town launched its first Head Start program. Through a fundraising effort that raised over $100,000, the town constructed a brand new Head Start facility, which serves 40 local children, on a site donated by the community. Currently, the town and surrounding neighborhood are developing the remainder of the site as a neighborhood park.
The Southern Pines Police Department initiated the county's first DARE (drug abuse resistance education) program. Although DARE …

Zillow predicts North Capitol Hill home values will rise 0.9% next year, compared to a 0.8% rise for Denver as a whole. Among
North Capitol Hill homes, this home is valued 4% more than the midpoint (median) home, and is valued 7.6% more per square foot. Foreclosures will be a factor impacting home values in the next several years. In the North Capitol Hill market, the number of foreclosures waiting to be sold shrank 24.2% in the last year. The number of unsold foreclosures is 34.8% higher than in Denver, and 18.1% lower than the national average. This higher local number may prevent North Capitol Hill home values from rising as quickly as other regions in Denver.

Please review the following rules prior to registering:
• Dogs & Strollers will be allowed but they must start at the rear of the start wave. This is for everyone's safety. With a mass start, it is easy for runners and walkers to get tripped up on a dog, leash or a stroller. We will strictly enforce this rule.
• Roller blades will not be allowed on the race course.
• Race numbers are required to take part in the race. If you are caught as a bandit or running with another person's bib, you will be banned from participating in Ultramax events for a period of two years.
• iPods & Other Audio Devices - We strongly recommend that you do not use iPods or other audio devices during the race. Choosing to use an audio device will not result in disqualification, but you will compromise your safety and that of others. If you are unable to hear verbal instructions or commands, approaching vehicles or course marshals on bicycles because of your device, you may be asked to relinquish it and face disqualification. Please use consideration and good judgment in this area.
Timing Information:
• IPICO Timing System - Chips will be in your race packet at packet pickup. Please follow the simple instructions on the packet carefully. Not wearing the transponder properly may prevent you from being timed.
• Transponders are non-transferable - be careful not to switch with other participants.
• The chip must be on your shoe at all times or you will not be scored in the event. Your timing chip will be removed by volunteers once you reach the finish line.
• Failure to return a chip will result in disqualification from all future events owned or timed by Ultramax. In addition, you will be charged a $30 replacement fee. If you find you still have your timing chip after the race, please mail it to:
