A Wing and a Prayer
Photo by Matt CokerYou men eat your dinner, eat your pork and beans, but at Wingnuts, you can eat more chicken wings than any man ever seen.
Just watch the sauce.
That's what I discovered when I ordered the $12.95 wing sampler at the four-month-old Costa Mesa restaurant that's the brain child of Gregg Diganci of Rueben's and Charley Brown's steakhouse fame. The first West Coast restaurant to specialize in chicken wings, Wingnuts further plays off the concept with an airplane hangar motif and televisions everywhere. If this location flies, Diganci hopes to spin out a chain.
With the sampler, one normally gets five wings each in five different flavors: teriyaki, original Buffalo style, honey mustard, kung pao, and sweet and sour barbecue. But my server allowed me to mix and match among any of Wingnuts' 30 wing flavors perfected by Diganci and chef Proceso Bolanos. I settled on Jamaican jerk, charred whiskey barbecue, chipotle barbecue, roasted garlic Parmesan and Buffalo, which come in four different stages of spiciness: mild, medium, hot and "ouch." Your intrepid reporter opted for ouch—but saved those wings for last lest it torch my tongue.

The charred whiskey tasted like it had been grilled in the back yard—with a hint of sweetness. The chipotle was the most flavorful, its Southwest influences giving way to a spiciness that sneaked up like a shoe bomber. A pleasantly tongue-tingling shoe bomber. The roasted garlic Parmesan was garlicy, soupy and, frankly, bland. But the Jamaican jerk was light and tangy, like the sauce Boston baked beans bob in.
The ouch was just plain obscene. After just one wing, I downed the rest of my three-quarters-full Newcastle, and it still didn't put out the four-alarm fire in my mouth. The wings come with bleu cheese cole slaw—just like your typical picnic staple only packed with bonus chunks of bleu cheese—which I shoveled in to tame the inferno, but pointing my head down only caused snot to run out of my nose and onto my fork. I reached for one of those roasted garlic Parmesan wings, but biting one of those caused the ouch sauce to ignite the garlic, making my piehole feel worse.
Fortunately, my attentive server arrived to see how I was doing. I composed myself enough to order another large Newcastle and some ranch dressing dipping sauce (which comes with celery, 95 cents). Then I asked for bread, seeing as how tortilla chips serve as perfect neutralizing agents for spicy Mexican food. But Wingnuts doesn't serve bread on the side, so I got a plain sourdough roll they make sandwiches with. Between the bread, the beer and the celery, I managed to put out the fire.
Then I bit into another ouch wing. DING-DING-DING-DING!
There are also 10 flavors of ribs, which come in three varieties (beef, St. Louis pork and baby back pork). A table mate went for the most flavorful: 10 baby back pork ribs drenched in the charred whisky sauce ($14.95). He found the ribs perfectly prepared but a tad spicy—wimp! It came with yummerific homemade potato chips and slaw.
Another eater started with chili-cheese fries ($5.95), which are criss-cut French fries smothered in a serviceable chili, melted Cheddar, jalapeños and sour cream. For a main course, she got 10 teriyaki wings ($6.95), which also come with slaw. I'd avoided the teriyaki, thinking it would be out-of-the-bottle common, but after sampling one, I was impressed with its tasty zing.
The final member of our foursome got the crispy Buffalo chicken salad ($7.25), a monstrous portion of spicy Buffalo-style chicken breast strips, shredded Cheddar cheese, olives, carrots and bleu cheese dressing atop a bed of fresh greens. She had enough leftover for lunch the next day.
Newcastle is among 16 beers on tap, from Budweiser to Pyramid Hefeweizen. There are also 12 bottled beers, four house wines, five featured wines, and a full bar pouring the usuals as well as specialty drinks with such names as Cropduster, Barnstormer and the chocolaty Snickertini. But you don't have to drink your dessert: Wingnuts also serves cranberry-apple cobbler, molten chocolate cake, a caramelized banana split and a caloric demon known as the Chocolate Chimi.
We'll save room for those next time. In fact, we may join the Pile High Club, where members get a $10 gift certificate for every 250 chicken wings they order. Of course, if they order 250 ouch wings, they'll never live to redeem it.
Wingnuts, located at 3030 Harbor Blvd., Ste. H-3, Costa Mesa, is open Sun.-Thurs., 11 a.m.-11 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 11 a.m.-midnight. (714) 434-7700. Full bar. Dinner for two, $25, food only. All major credit cards accepted.

Alan McManus has advised the sport's new generation to ditch social media and knuckle down, after rolling back the years to defeat his compatriot John Higgins, the four-time world champion, yesterday.
McManus, 43, had not won a match at the World Championships since he beat Ken Doherty in the last 16 in 2005, but he will now face the 44-year-old, another former Crucible winner, at the same stage on Friday.
He secured that appointment with Doherty by beating his long-time friend Higgins in a tight battle on Tuesday, snuffing out the Wishaw man's mini-revival in the second session to complete a 10-7 victory.
Loading article content
The Glaswegian they call Angles - for his precise style of play - believes that younger players should start following the example of the old guard to prolong their careers at the very highest level of the game.
"I think there's still plenty of room for guys over 40, 42 - whatever it is - to compete at the higher level of the game," said the world No.35. "I also think the older players have stolen a march on today's young brigade. Today's world isn't good for young people in snooker terms because they spend all their time on Facebook and it's killing their snooker.
"I've seen it, they're too busy reading and writing about snooker instead of getting their nut down. I'm on Twitter but don't post messages very often: only for fun. It's just my personal opinion. Not all of them do it but some of them are spending too much time on the internet."
Of Friday's prospects, he said: "I'm pleased for Ken; we play a similar type of game. I've always enjoyed watching him and he did really well in qualifying last week; we've had similar stories coming through [qualifying ties]. I remember the last time I played Ken here; I think it was 13-11. It was a really good match; hopefully we'll have something similar."
Higgins had won the last three frames in the first session to head into yesterday's second session with the momentum, but poor positional play initially blighted his comeback attempt and his position looked hopeless as he fell 9-4 adrift.
However, the world No.9 rallied to pull it back to 9-7 - he had a match-high break of 111 - before missing a crucial blue in the 17th frame to open the way for McManus to triumph.
"I scraped over the line in the end; I said to my pal at the break that John's going to come on strong here; it's what he does," added McManus. "It was no surprise, if John starts relaxing and putting his arm through the white the way he can do it's like trying to tame a lion at times. Any time for me to even practise with John is just a thrill frankly. I hold him in such high esteem as a guy and a player; he's a legend of the sport."
Higgins, the 38-year-old former winner, has struggled to find his best form since his last World Championship success in 2011 but, while he admits he may never reach those heady heights again, he is adamant there is plenty left in the tank.
"There have been times I've sat here desolate, thinking there's nothing at the end of the tunnel but I definitely think I've got some decent snooker left in me," he said. "I might not be one of the top players you think of challenging for every event - I'm possibly a journeyman top-16 player now - but every journeyman can have his day sometimes."
Of the finish, he said: "I had to play [the last blue] really thin because I knew it would have cannoned into the brown, and I just took my eye off it. Alan then cleared up and it was disappointing the way it finished because I was playing pretty well."
Higgins refused to rule out his fellow-countryman against Doherty either. "Alan played three matches just last week and has Ken next - that's going to be a battle and they've had great battles. I've got a lot of respect for Alan and people such as Stephen [Hendry] because if it hadn't been for practising with them when I was younger I wouldn't have become the player I am today."

IF she can't get this resort for us, I really, really hope she can because we have always wanted to stay at the WL, which of the other villas should I ask her to try to get...Boardwalk or Beach Club? I really don't want to stay at OKW (which is her home and we could book it now) It's just DH and myself. Thanks!

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Jordan's Big Play Sparks Cleveland
LOS LUNAS — Jalen Chavez scored all three Los Lunas touchdowns, the last on a twisting 21-yard run with 2:08 left in the game, and the Tigers shut out Sandia in the second half of a 20-7 win Friday night at Willie Chavez Field.
In the battle of unbeaten teams, Chavez finished with 135 yards rushing on 23 carries.
Los Lunas (4-0) scored twice in the first half, both on Chavez 3-yard runs, to take a 14-0 lead.
Sandia responded just before halftime, capping a 74-yard drive that took over six minutes.
Matadors quarterback Craig Coffman found Zach Garcia for a 5-yard scoring strike, but the senior QB was only 6-of-19 passing for 58 yards, with one interception.
Down 14-7 at the half, the Matadors (3-1) stopped Los Lunas on the Tigers' first drive of the second half on downs at the Sandia 28. The Matadors then moved into Los Lunas territory, but a holding penalty and sack moved them out of scoring range.
The Tigers lost a fourth-quarter fumble after driving to the Sandia 19, but the LLHS defense forced the Matadors to punt, and Chavez's final touchdown sealed the win.

CLEVELAND 27, CLOVIS 20: In Rio Rancho, Storm quarterback Kian Homme threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns — one a backbreaking 71-yard score to running back Romell Jordan with less than five minutes to play — as Cleveland beat the visiting Wildcats.
Cleveland (2-2) had a third-and-10 from its own 29 and a 20-14 lead when Homme tossed a short pass to Jordan, who raced the distance for what turned out to be the clinching score with 4:49 remaining.
"Coach always tells us, 'Big-time players make the big-time plays,' " said Jordan, who rushed for 146 yards on 30 carries and had four receptions for 92 yards. "Kian and I have that chemistry; we practice it all the time. He went through his reads, then went on his check-down to me."
Clovis (2-2) came right back with a seven-play TD drive that used less than a minute to make it 27-20. Quarterback Kordell Tindle got the TD on a third-and-15 from the Cleveland 37 on a screen pass to Shaprie Bryant.
The Storm was whistled for two penalties, enforced on the ensuing kickoff, allowing Clovis a kickoff from the Cleveland 40. But the Storm recovered and picked up three first downs — Jordan making three key runs — to run the clock out.
Clovis led 14-7 at the half, but could never get an offensive rhythm in the second half. Tindle threw for 182 yards, while running back Kamal Cass had 83 yards rushing on 28 carries. He scored on a 12-yard run.
Jordan had two short touchdown runs.
— Mark Smith
ST. PIUS 41, BERNALILLO 7: At Bernalillo, the Sartans managed to dominate a game in which they turned the ball over five times and committed 12 penalties for 107 yards.
The lopsided outcome came thanks to as impressive a running performance as many will see this season. The 1-2 running back punch of seniors T.J. Sanchez and Nic Stafford had a combined 41 carries for 396 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. The Sartans (3-1) finished their blowout victory with 56 carries for 505 rushing yards and 27 points in the fourth quarter.
For the Spartans (0-4), who were celebrating homecoming, there was little satisfaction that the score was still 14-7 heading into the fourth quarter.
"I don't know if we got tired or what, but when they got up 20-7 (with 9:46 left in the game), it kind of looked like we started quitting a little bit," Bernalillo coach Ken Noel said.
Bernalillo's offense was nonexistent, and the Spartans' lone score in the game came via a 70-yard interception return by junior Victor Trujillo late in the second quarter.
St. Pius' defense held Bernalillo to 27 carries for just 12 rushing yards, thanks largely to four sacks and several tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Bernalillo had 43 yards of offense and just four first downs — one thanks to a St. Pius penalty and the other on the final play of the game.
— Geoff Grammer
LA CUEVA 38, RIO GRANDE 6: At Milne Stadium, Zach Silva threw for 166 yards and three touchdowns as the Bears (4-0) — playing without injured tailback Michael Rose — pasted the Ravens (1-2).
La Cueva led 31-0 at halftime and started the running clock after Silva's third scoring strike, a 51-yarder to Jarrick Sharp, for a 38-0 lead with 6:15 left in the third period.
Jalen Ned scored on a 2-yard run for Rio Grande, which managed only four first downs and 108 yards offensively, all on the ground.
MAYFIELD 20, MANZANO 14: At the Field of Dreams in Las Cruces, the Trojans scored 20 straight points after spotting the Monarchs the first score in a nondistrict win.
Corey Morrow had a 1-yard TD run in the first quarter for Manzano (3-1), and Skyler Walker caught a 39-yard touchdown pass with 34 seconds left in the game. But the Trojans (2-2) recovered the ensuing onside kick.
With the running game held in check by the Trojans, Manzano quarterback Angel Gonzales completed 23-of-34 passes for 236 yards.
HIGHLAND 30, CIBOLA 18: At Wilson Stadium, junior quarterback Bryan Medina passed for 326 yards and two touchdowns, and he also ran for 80 yards and a score as Highland (1-3) won a battle of winless teams. Cibola fell to 0-4.

Learning in economics: the Austrian insights
In this contribution I first present a selective review of the literature on learning theories in economics. I then show that those theories are often assimilating knowledge to information or considering knowledge as a structure of information. Finally I discuss the possibility for those theories to be defined as Austrian and I conclude with a presentation of a research agenda.

Raleigh, N.C. — Local bluegrass fans gathered at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences on Wednesday to view the International Bluegrass Music Association Awards nominations and prepare for the annual event that will hit Raleigh in less than two months.
The IBMA Awards will be held Thursday, Oct. 2, at Raleigh's Memorial Auditorium. It will be hosted by Grammy award winners country vocalist Lee Ann Womack and musician Jerry Douglas.
People crowded the Raleigh museum on Wednesday to watch the nominations via a live stream from Franklin, Tenn.
Cindy Baucom, of Elkin, cheered as her and her husband's names were read out as nominees. Baucom is a producer and broadcaster of the nationally syndicated radio show Knee Deep in Bluegrass. She and her husband, Terry Baucom, were nominated in best recorded event category for "Martha White, Lester & Earl."
Cindy Baucom was in Raleigh to attend a meeting of the IBMA Board of Directors. A winner in the same category last year, she was hoping they could score a nomination this year.
Get a full list of nominations at the IBMA Awards website.
Following the nominations, local bluegrass band Diamond Creek performed at the museum's Daily Planet Cafe.
The awards ceremony is part of the IBMA World of Bluegrass event, which offers free and ticketed events Sept. 30 - Oct. 4 in downtown Raleigh.

text: Hey guys. I have a question. I don't think this is a problem persay, but I have the AT&T note I717 and I have it rooted. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed or experianced a subtle slow down in performance after rooting. I rooted my phone after playing with it for a little while stock and brushing up on this phones root tools and such. I rooted the phone and noticed it get a bit slower. Not really bad but still noticeable. I didnt think anything of it. After a couple weeks playing with it I decided I wanted to try out a couple Roms. I flashed a Rom and didnt like it, so I flashed a different one. My phone didnt like the second and went nuts....lol....I went to flash my backup and the damn thing told me I had no backups....ok...I used odin to restore the stock firmware. All is golden now. All speedy and snappy as new. Then I rooted again and noticed that same little slow down in performance. Any ideas whats goin on here? From my experiance with my Droid X, I know there can be a performance difference between odexed and deodexed but im stock on this so no flashing themes.

text: I've been an Android fan for quite some time now. I followed the release of the G1 (and wanted one) but at the time felt the iPhone was a better product. That quickly changed and I've been a faithful Android user since. I found these forums when looking for cases for my CDMA HTC Hero. The case in question was a Seidio case. I finally joined so that I could see the pictures for the review. I purchased the product and was very happy with it. Since then I've made it a point to do a detailed review whenever I get accessories for my new Android phone errrr.... device. That being said... here is my review of the Seidio Active Case with Multi-Purpose Cover for the Nexus 7. Packaging: No need to dwell on this one. Package arrived with no issues. I opened the Fed-Ex box and found the case secure within a plastic packaging. No annoying sealed edges to cut or deal with. What's included: Inside the box are a few items: A silicone flexible "inner" piece A soft-touch hard "outer/skeleton" piece A soft-touch hard Multi-Purpose Cover There are also instructions for those who have a difficult time with these kinds of things Instructions: There are instructions (as is normal with Seidio products) in the shape of the device. The directions fit inside the case in an attempt to replicate the product. No special tools or triple jointed body parts needed! Next there are also instruction stickers attached to the soft-touch hard "outer" shell and the Multi-Purpose Cover. Personally I saw these as overkill but you never know when someone may need it or can't figure it out. Fortunately these additional directions are just pictures. These secondary directions are pretty well stuck on there and are not made to peel off (in case anyone wants to know). They frankly annoyed me for the first day. Now I don't even notice them. Quality: A+!!! Seidio nailed it with this one! Everything lines up great. Headphone jack, speaker, microphone(s) and charging port all have ample clearance. The power buttons and volume keys also line up perfectly with the physical keys that say hidden underneath the case. Silicone Flexible Inner Piece: A+ As mentioned above, EVERYTHING lines up perfect. Nothing to note here. Easy as pie to put on. Easy as pie to take off. Soft-Touch Hard Outer Shell: A+ A lot of reviews refer to this piece as the Skeleton as it is what gives the case it's strength. To be honest, that makes a lot of sense. This piece is what makes the case useful and sets it apart from the standard case. This Outer Shell/Skeleton is a hard plastic that features Seidio's signature soft touch. It's not slick at all. This shell literally "clips" right onto the the silicone piece and is a TIGHT fit. It's not easy to remove (at all) so you don't have to worry about it falling off. It's there and it's on there TIGHT! When you order a different color case, this is the piece that varies, the inner silicone and multi-purpose cover will remain the same. ***As is, Seidio sells JUST the combination mentioned above but they also sell a combination that includes the Multi-Purpose Cover (mentioned below)*** Multi-Purpose Cover: A- Let me start by saying this. I have the book-style cover on my kindle. It's great for books and if that's your preference. Personally, I wasn't about to put one on my Nexus 7. Personal preference. That being said, the idea behind this Multi-Purpose Cover is what sold me and it, mostly, does the same things that all those popular iProduct and Nexus/Kindle cases do. In my opinion, this blows them out of the water. Here is why: every case I've seen has a landscape (and occasionally portrait) option. Each of those cases usually can sit at 2 or 3 angles. If you don't want the front cover of the book-style your only option is to take it out of the case or use the funky-elastic straps to snag the front of the Nexus and hold in it place. I refused to do this because I feel that this looks TERRIBLE! Enter the Multi-Purpose Cover! There are indents on the corners of the Outer Shell/Skeleton that line up in all directions with the cover. Basically it clips on and stays on (for as long as you want it to) whenever you want to store the cover on the front or back of the device. I was easily able to pick up the case and shake it around with the Nexus attached without fear of it falling. If you want it on the back of the case, you can put it on. If you don't want it on the back of the case, you can take it off. If you are transporting the Nexus, you can put it on. If you aren't and are just using it around the house, you can take it off. There is plenty of room between the cover and the screen of the Nexus 7 when in place over the screen to help prevent damage to our fragile toys. If you want to use it as a stand, you can! There is a piece built into the cover that folds out and acts as a stand. Not only that, but there are 10 angles you can choose from to use the cover as a stand. I must say that this piece feels a bit clumsy and I am curious to see how this holds up long term. When using the cover as a stand there are long rubber feet that help prevent the the stand from sliding across a desk or table. I only have two dislikes about the cover which is what gives the cover itself a A- rating. First, when in landscape mode it feels like there is a bit of wiggle (front and back) where the Nexus sits in the stand. It doesn't seem to affect anything but it's worth noting. That being said, it didn't stop me from using it. It works great when working on projects in bed, etc. Second, there isn't a viable option to use the stand in portrait mode (if I ever wanted to) as the Nexus 7 would only be resting on one tab of the cover. I feel that this is an oversight that could have been corrected with perhaps a longer middle tab. Perhaps it'll be worked on in future versions. Either way, as long as you know these two things going in, you'll be happy. It's also worth noting that having the Cover on the Nexus 7 does not seem to effect the sound quality of music/video. Overall: A In my opinion this is the best product I've ever seen Seidio produce. It's simple and to the point. It protects our beloved Nexus and looks good doing so. It withstands the pressures that the day to day activities can throw at it. We've all seen the horror stories of the glass on the Nexus 7 breaking too easily. This was one of my MAIN reasons for wanting a case for it. I can confidently say that this case has alleviated those concerns. I've had the Nexus in the outer pockets of my luggage and in my gym bag and have put them through their standard uses and the case (and more importantly the Nexus) have come out completely unscathed! Is it worth $34 bucks ($44 with the cover) when an ebay case can be had for 1/4 to 1/2 the price? I would most definitely say YES! Want one? You can find them at Seidio's website by clicking HERE! If anyone has any questions about the case or would like additional photos, be sure to let me know. :smokingsomb:

First Muzzleloader Question
Group, I'm considering my first muzzleloader, and am looking at the Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawkens. This will be used strictly for target shooting with round balls. Is there any advantage to the 54 cal vs. the 50 cal? Thanks.
Bigger hole.
Seriously, IMHO for target shooting I'd go with the fifty maybe even a thirty-six. What is ultimately going to make the difference is the firearm itself, the amount of charge for that firearm, and the patch and ball combination.
Developing a load for ball and cap black powder is akin to developing a load for modern cartridge firearms.The difference is you don't need the dies and press.
Thanks. One hears so much chatter about what is the best, how a 54 will maintain its velocity better and shoot a flatter profile, etc. that it gets to be very confusing. I think I'll go for the 50.
I bought the .54 because IT WAS BIGGER!
Seriously though the Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken is a beautiful piece of work. I dearly love mine!
50 call is called the balanced caliber.
The smaller you get , the more accurate you get
The larger, the more knock down power.
Unless you going for Bear, Elk, Moose, or buffalo, Id go with a 50.
If you are going after any of the above, get a better rifle than a third world built production gun.
Any better repros out there other than Pedersoli? I know there are lesser guns.
I see that the Pedersoli's come with either walnut or maple stocks. Any thoughts on the maple? I've never seen a maple stock.
Pedersoli is NOT a third world product. Their quality is hard to beat, and they are affordable. There ARE American custom gunmakers out there that produce some really fine (and expensive) BP rifles.
The maple stock is absolutely beautiful.
I'd go with the 50 cal. Simply because my 50 tends to shoot a tighter pattern than my 54. Both are Investarms Hawkins. Hope that was helpful.
The bigger the better
The bigger calibers are better shooters. As far as target practice goes. We all know the wind. Affects all bullets and the smaller the caliber, the worst it gets. Especially muzzle loaders. Do to the fact of low muzzle velocity out the barrel. The 36 cal and below, you have to factor in the wind, Don't get me wrong. I have a 36cal flint lock and it is a good shooter. But when it is windy I'm better off with a big caliber. Like my TC 54 or Pedrsoli 45. Putting more powder in the rifle. Does help but not much.
This is just my opinion. My wife says my opinion does not mean much. She a better shot then me. And she never practices much.

In response to Stephen McElroy aka www.rkbaholsters.com complaint
I have debated whether to respond to Mr. McElroy's forum posts (3 forums and counting) but feel that an official response from me is needed. Mr. McElroy purchased leather supplies (BLUEGUNS) not any type of leather item or gun holster that I make.
Mr. McElroy contacted me by email about purchasing a Bluegun (gun replica) on March 27, 2012 and I responded to him quickly and then forwarded him to my site to process the order. I shipped Mr. McElroy's guns out the same day USPS tracking number 9101150134711276968725 which as you can see shows delivered on March 29, 2012. I communicated with Mr. McElroy in about four emails total before I shipped his package and he never mentioned anything about purchasing insurance (my policy requires to request it) or a special way he wanted his shipment packaged. The guns weighed less than 2 lbs and fit into the padded envelope with room to spare much less than the 70 lbs limit stated by USPS. I used the Flat Rate Shipping bubble wrap envelop 9-1/2" x 12-1/2". The only opening to the bag was the manufacturer's adhesive flap which closed easily due to the extra room left in it after placing the items in. I had no reason to add anymore material to the closure of the envelope to strengthen it because I have shipped numerous blue guns in this same packaging and have never had a problem with it failing. USPS does not allow you to alter their flat rate shipping supplies and could deny a package if you did add to it however they accepted it at my local post office. My shipping fees may seem high to some but I ship very fast especially if the items are in stock and cover the extra costs related to ordering and shipping items for my customers. Depending on what items are ordered and circumstance I sometimes pay more for the shipping then I charge. I have very good reasons for doing things the way that I do like every other merchant.
Mr. McElroy emailed me on March 29, 2012 and stated that he received a torn package without any guns in it. I requested him to contact his post office and see if they could locate them. He sent another email stating he needed either his money back or new guns. Mr. McElroy went on in the same email and threatened to dispute it with PayPal and stated "I have spoke with another holster maker locally who also had a package with dummy guns not show up, you did not work with her to fix it and lost her business". I responded back and recommend him to proceed with the PayPal dispute. I give Mr. McElroy this advice due to the following reasons: I felt that a third party should make the decision because of how quick he was demanding money or more items, the fact that there were two customers who know each other, had recently spoke with each other, are both located in the same area, both stated they never received their guns. On both shipments the tracking showed delivered. I spoke with USPS and they advised they would have attached a note of apology for the items missing and Mr McElroy never made mention of anything except a hole in the package and his merchandise was gone. In one of his post before Paypal's decision Mr. McElroy stated "Exactly. If it doesn't show up it's on USPS, if it shows up empty it's on the seller. Even if I had insurance USPS would not cover the problem since they delivered the package" The other customer he refers to never received the package although it showed delivered by USPS but Mr. McElroy's package showed up without any product. These are very expensive items even wholesale cost is high not even closely compared to the minimal cost of materials in small leather pocket holsters.
After responding back with his dissatisfaction he requested my friendship on Facebook. Mr. McElroy filed his dispute and I quickly responded to the dispute so he could get a resolution in a timely manner. I received four different emails through my site. One of which was obviously sent by Mr. McElroy because he used "I" in several locations but listed his name as "John Smith" and an email address of
[email protected]
. The emails contained links and references to four different forums in which Mr. McElroy had posted negative comments about me, my holsters, and that I had ripped him off. One of the emails threatened "Good luck with your customer service. Your going to need it." Not sure if any of the emails are legitimate people or email addresses but I did respond to them anyway.
Paypal decided in Mr. McElroy's favor so he was refunded his money back which I have found out is a common practice by them. They must have found validity to both our positions because they also made a somewhat fair resolution to me as well.
What is disappointing is how Mr. McElroy has conducted himself throughout this incident especially the harassing and bullying posts/emails which seem to be more of a personal attack to my leather work than anything else. I have reframed from copying this behavior because I don't believe in stepping on someone else to make myself look better. It is ok to give reviews but Mr. McEloy has taken it to a different almost slanderous level. There are several more contradictions that I could point out but I do not wish to. I hope that the readers will see that we obviously had a disagreement on this issue and the difference in which we both reacted to it.
I am sure that my post will spark even more debate but I really have to get back to the shop and get busy. I will be posting Mr. McElroy's review on my site. I am reviewing my site and how the polices are written and will make changes if necessary. I apologized to Mr. McElroy for his "lost shipment" however I felt I had good reasons to handle it like I did. I plan to let this be my only response to the incident and feel that it is "water under the bridge" and hope that Mr. McElroy does the same especially since he was given a full refund.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Cracow, Malopolskie, Poland, 2011/03/28 - Because of Pharma 2020 programme regulations, designed to support local production, an increasing number of pharmaceutical companies are deciding to open their production facilities in the country - PMRCorporate.com.
The total amount invested by pharmaceutical manufacturers in Russia could reach at least 1bn, according to estimates included in the latest report from PMR, a research and consulting company, entitled Generic and innovative drugs market in Russia and Ukraine 2011.
Strong support for local drug manufacturing in Russia
In October 2010 the Government of the Russian Federation approved the Pharma 2020 programme. Its main goal is to overcome the existing technical, scientific, technological and industrial backwardness of the domestic pharmaceutical industry and Russian medicine, to reduce dependence on raw materials from foreign suppliers and to create a technological basis for the transition of the pharmaceutical industry toward innovative models of development. Under the programme, domestic production will account for 50% of all medicines available on the Russian market in 2020, in stark contrast to the current 20-25%.
Both the prime minister, Vladimir Putin, and the president, Dmitry Medvedev, have, in the course of many public speeches, emphasised that Russia aims to be become independent of foreign pharmaceutical suppliers, as such dependence is very dangerous. Foreign companies which hope to capture part of the Russian pharmaceutical market should, therefore, be prepared to manufacture their products locally and to transfer their expertise to Russia says Agnieszka Stawarska, PMR Pharmaceutical Market Analyst and the report co-author.
As a result, several global pharmaceutical companies have announced plans to build factories in Russia. One of the most extensive projects announced is a Novartis production plant in St. Petersburg, the annual capacity of which is expected to reach 1.5 billion units. This represents one of the most substantial Novartis investments in local manufacturing anywhere in the world. Other foreign companies intending to invest in Russia include AstraZeneca, Novo Nordisk, Berlin-Chemie/Menarini and Krka. In total, the amount invested in drug manufacturing in Russia by foreign and domestic manufacturers in the next few years could reach at least 1bn, according to PMR calculations.
Pharmaceutical markets depend on generics
In the opinion of PMR (pmrpublications.com), domestic production in Russia will focus mainly on biosimilars and high standard generic equivalents of original medicines. Large pharmaceutical companies are not particularly eager to move the manufacture of their blockbusters to Russia. The share of innovative medicines as a proportion of the market, which is quite modest in Russia (reaching, for example, only 35% in terms of value in the hospital subgroup), is not, therefore, expected to increase significantly over the next few years. In Ukraine, another pro-generic country, generic medicines are also expected to develop more rapidly than their original counterparts over the next few years, i.e. between 2011 and 2013.
According to PMR estimates, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of generic medicines is to be 20% for Russia and 31% for Ukraine in local currency between 2011 and 2013. By way of comparison, the innovative drug subgroups will develop on average by 12% and 14% per annum respectively in the two countries.
Reimbursement system to be introduced in Ukraine?
There is no medicine reimbursement system for non-hospitalised patients in Ukraine. The entire financial burden of medical treatment is, therefore, borne by the patient. At the moment only certain groups of the population (for example, veterans and Chernobyl victims) are entitled to free medicines, which are purchased from the state or municipal budget.
A reimbursement system similar to those of other countries might, however, be created in Ukraine in the next few years. A compulsory state health insurance system is to be implemented in accordance with the Programme of Ukrainian Economic Reforms for 2010-2014, prepared by the Committee of Economic Reforms under the auspices of the President of Ukraine, but not until mid-2014. Healthcare experts believe that the development of a reimbursement system should become part of this.
The idea is not new. In 2007 the European Business Association Healthcare Committee approached government bodies and the Ukrainian parliament with the prospect of creating and developing a reimbursement system. However, the initiative prompted widespread concern and has not been implemented.
If a general compulsory health insurance system is introduced in Ukraine, patients could gain access to innovative therapies through a health insurance system which they cannot afford at the moment, because of low incomes and other factors.

A Day on Lakeland Limestone
Finally did something I'd meant to do for years, and explored that great limestone ridge you see over the M6 as you approach the Kendal turnoff.
It was during last week's hot spell. I had to go up for a meeting in Kendal, and it ended at 12.15 so I drove over to Hutton Roof, parked, and set off up the path towards Hutton Roof Crags. A wonderful walk: early purple orchids alongside the path, wild garlic and bluebells under the hawthorn trees, and a cuckoo calling.
The path leads up onto a gently-swelling tract of heathland crowned with limestone pavement: great irregular slabs of blue-grey-white stone like gnarled jigsaw pieces with strange holes and gulleys worn through them by millennia of rain.
I headed over the top and down through scrubby woodland, crossed the road and went on over the Holmepark Fell, another gently-rounded limestone summit with even stranger outcrops and shapes. I carried on until I could see the M6 – not because it's a pretty sight, but because I wanted to make a connection with the many times I'd looked up while driving north and wondered what it must be like there on top.
The view was splendid – an inlet of the sea that I suppose would be Warton Sands, and on the other side the Howgill Fells, with a rolling green south Lakeland country in between.
I came down by curving around and walking alongside the enormous Clawthorpe Quarry and retraced my steps over Hutton Roof Crags, which looked completely different heading the other way. Somehow the whole area shows you a different aspect of Lakeland too: quieter, weirder, with a different kind of beauty. I feel pulled to go back there already, though it's hard to say why.

Calaveras County
Among those who have been distinctively conspicuous in connection with the substantial upbuilding and legitimate progress of the attractive little city of Vallicita, Calaveras County, very definite recognition must be given to him whose name initiates this paragraph. It has been his fortune to be identified with the town from the days of its early establishment and with every advance movement he has been connected, being recognized as one of the leading and enterprising businessmen of the place and as one who has contributed liberally and with enthusiasm to every cause which has had as its object the growth and prosperity of Vallicita.
Mr. Lewis arrived in the Golden state in 1853. He was born in Nashville, Tennessee, in the vicinity of the birthplace of James K. Polk, his grandfather having been one of the first settlers of that portion of the state. The natal day of our subject is August 28, 1834. He is descended from Virginian ancestry, related to the Lee's, Washington's, Green's, Houston's, and other prominent families of the Old Dominion who bore an active part in shaping the policy of that state in colonial days and were participants in the war of the Revolution. The ancestry may be traced back to Earl Lewis, an English nobleman, who was the progenitor of the family in the south. The father of our subject was married in Tennessee in 1826 to Miss Eliza J. Shaw, also a native of that state and a daughter of Rev. Shaw, a Presbyterian minister of Tennessee, who owned extensive property interests and many negroes, whose services were utilized in the operation of the plantation. Three children were born unto them in Tennessee. In 1849 the father came to California, crossing the plains to this state, after which he began mining in Volcano, Amador County. Subsequently he went to Sacramento and conducted a race track at Brighton. In 1850 he removed to Sonoma County and founded the town of Petaluma, but the title was faulty because of a Spanish land grant and he removed to Carson Valley, where he purchased a large drove of cattle from emigrants. He then put them out to pasture in the valley, and when they were in good marketable condition brought them to California, where he sold them at a fair profit. Later Mr. Lewis engaged in mining at Vallicita, successfully continuing his search for the precious metal for a number of years. His prominence as a citizen and his fitness for public office led to his election as one of the supervisors of the county, in which capacity he served for four years.
When the Civil War broke out he was a strong Union man and enlisted in a company of which he was elected captain. He joined General Connor's regiment, which was stationed at the fort southeast of Salt Lake City for the purpose of quelling any insurrection among the Mormons. He was thus made chief of the staff of General Patrick Connor, with the rank of adjutant general, and while stationed there formed the acquaintance of Brigham Young and was a potent factor in keeping peace among the peculiar band of religious people there. Mr. Lewis continued in the service of the government until the close of the war, after which he returned to Vallicita and was again elected supervisor of his district, serving four years. Being now well advanced in the evening of life he retired from active business, and in 1891 he was called to his final rest, when eighty-nine years of age. His wife's interest in her father's estate caused her to remain in the south for several years after her husband came to California, and she spent only a portion of her time in this state, her death occurring in Texas in the eightieth year of her age.
Benjamin H. Lewis, whose name introduces this review, is now the only survivor of the family. He was educated in the old Jackson College, in Columbia, Tennessee, pursuing the law course there, after which he was licensed to practice. The year 1853 witnessed his arrival on the Pacific coast. He made the journey with William T. Lewis, a relative, sailing from New Orleans and arriving safely in San Francisco, where our subject secured the position of delivery clerk in the San Francisco post office. Later he obtained a clerical position in the customhouse of that city. In 1855 he came to Vallicita, where he engaged in mining at Kelly's gulch, taking out considerable gold. He found one nugget worth one hundred and six dollars, and he and his companion took out on an average about two ounces of gold each day. In 1857 he was appointed tax collector, in which capacity he served for some time, collecting all the different taxes on licensed money. Subsequently he was elected justice of the peace, filling that office for eight years, and through his fair and impartial administration he "won golden opinions from all sorts of people." Since that time Mr. Lewis has engaged in the practice of law. He was associated with John Reddick in all appeal cases from justice courts in which he was interested, and later with Frank Solonski. During the past forty years he has been recognized as a leading member of the bar in his section and has maintained his high position by reason of his continued study and his comprehensive familiarity with the principles of jurisprudence. He has improved three fine homes in California and came to his present place of residence in 1870. Here he has one hundred and sixty acres of land, on which he is raising fruit and stock, and is spending the evening of a very active, useful and honorable life under the shade of the trees which his own hands have planted.
In 1859 Mr. Lewis was united in marriage to Miss Mary Isabell, a native of Missouri and a daughter of Ewin Isabell, one of California's early settlers. Ten children have been born unto them, namely: Green Hampton; Mary Auhaline, now the wife of Charles McPort; Ewin; Sarah, the wife of Dennis Burns; Eliza, the wife of Clay Hallock; Robert E.; Martha, the wife of Albin Lumbers; Hall, Ellen and Benjamin H.
Mrs. Lewis is a valued member of the Methodist Church and the family is one of prominence in the community. Mr. Lewis gives his political support to the Democracy and keeps well informed on the issues of the day, thus being able to support his position by intelligent argument. The record of Mr. Lewis is that of a man who has by his own efforts worked his way upward to a position of affluence. His life has been one of industry and perseverance, and the systematic and honorable business methods which he has followed, together with his diligence and ability in his profession, have won him the support and confidence of many. Without the aid of wealth he has risen to a position among the most prominent men of the state, and his native genius and acquired ability are the stepping stones on which he mounted.

"Disney is so good at being good that it manifests an evil; so uniformly efficient and courteous, so dependably clean and conscientious, so unfailingly entertaining that it's unreal, and therefore is an agent of pure wickedness....Disney isn't in the business of exploiting Nature so much as striving to improve upon it, constantly fine-tuning God's work."
from Team Rodent: How Disney Devours America
In 1996 the Walt Disney Company reported $18.7 billion in revenues, a thunderous 54 percent jump from the previous fiscal year. By 1997 Disney's revenues had surpassed $20 billion. This torrent of money comes from films, television, home video and stage plays, radio and TV stations, theme parks on three continents, computer software, toys and merchandise, sports teams and hotels, real estate holdings, shopping centers and retail stores, housing developments and even a cruise line. Today Disney touches virtually every human being in America for a profit. And according to veteran journalist Carl Hiaasen, that is rapidly becoming true as well in France, Spain, Germany, Japan, Great Britain, Scandinavia, Australia, China, Mexico, Brazil and Canada. "Disney is well on the way to devouring the world," says Hiaasen, "the same way it devoured this country, starting first with the youth."
--from TEAM RODENT
How Disney Devours America
"Revulsion is good. Revulsion is healthy. Each of us has limits, unarticulated boundaries of taste and tolerance, and sometimes we forget where they are. Peep Land is here to remind us; a fixed compass point by which we can govern our private behavior. Because being grossed out is essential to the human experience; without a perceived depravity, we'd have nothing against which to gauge the advance or decline of culture; our art, our music, our cinema, our books. Without sleaze, the yardstick shrinks at both ends. Team Rodent doesn't believe in sleaze, however, nor in old-fashioned revulsion. Square in the middle is where it wants us all to be, dependable consumers with predictable attitudes. The message, never stated but avuncularly implied, is that America's values ought to reflect those of the Walt Disney Company, and not the other way around."
2) Hiaasen says Disney is scary because they're trying to improve upon nature. They create a fantasy and want to convince people to choose their fantasy over reality. Is this good or bad?
3) Frank Rich, in the New York Times, says that it's dangerous that Disney controls so much they can use ABC News to cover the opening of a new theme park, further blurring the distinction between news and entertainment. What makes this so dangerous?
4) Do you know that, in Florida, Disney is above the law? They have their own government, police force, and fire department. Hiaasen feels they get away with way too much because they control Florida's economy. Do you agree? Haw can this be stopped? Should it be stopped?
5) Children love Disney characters. Do you? What message is sent by these characters? Hiaasen feels Mickey Mouse has as much influence as Jesus Christ. Agree or disagree? Good or bad?
6) What did you think of the sit-com Ellen? Was ABC (Disney) right to cancel it?
7) There is a lot of bad news about Disney's new Animal Kingdom. Have you heard any of it? Is Disney able to control the news?
8) What do you think of the religious right boycotting Disney because of their support of homosexuals?
9) Would you want Disney coming into this town to "clean it up" the way they've cleaned up Times Square?
10) Would you want to live in Disney's mostly white, very safe town called Celebration? Do you think that such towns with very specific idealistic and governmental goals are good for America?

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hi,Welcome to Just Answer, My name isXXXXX will be helping you with your appliance issue today.
There are some parts available for this machine including the magnetron. click here, these microwaves are dangerous work on however, it's not recommended you do this yourself as the high-voltage side of the microwave, the capacitor can store a lethal amount of voltage even when this is unplugged its recommended a trained technician repair this, most likely the magnetron is failing but can also be the high-voltage diode which is a lot cheaper and that is probably the smell if it's like a plastic burning smell, technicians carry these diodes and can replace it for you, I would call a local repair company and let them know the symptoms and they can probably tell you whether they'll have the parts are not for it, there are universal diodes you can use these, hope this info is useful, well wishes and thanks, Bryan
Thanks so far , good to know about discharging the cap. In Canada , is this likely a simple repair then? Most will blow you off and sell you a new one, but from what you are saying , then all likely parts ARE available?...for this workhorse? that is the only hurdle it seems. Waiting for your reply.
I am going to press pay...I had to boot off to church...just got your reply....here is my yahoo address if you have that service.Hopefully you will say thanks for the "cheque"so as to give me a Tennessee email contact for you.

- Avoid Gym Germs
- Guide to Hand Washing
Cut down on the germs in your office this flu season with these antibacterial tips to keep your office clean and germ-free
Use Alcohol
If you're desk-confined, disinfect your hands with a sanitizer that contains alcohol, such as Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer. "Alcohol is a drying agent," Dr. Brown says. "It tends to pull water away from the organisms, and that harms them."
Avoid the Crowd
Shared space like the office kitchen is a germ magnet. "About 20 percent of the office cups contain coliform bacteria, which is related to fecal contamination," Dr. Gerba says. Opt for a paper cup, or keep your own mug and wash it regularly with dish soap and a paper towel. And when possible, pass on control of the PowerPoint remote in the conference room — the gadgets registered some of the highest bacteria levels in Dr. Gerba's study.

TOKYO, Japan - With a nagging back injury coming in, even she didn't come in believing it would happen. But sometimes good things happen when you least expect them to - and for Nadia Petrova it did this past week, as she won the 12th and biggest WTA title of her career at the Toray Pan Pacific Open.
Last week in Seoul, Petrova had to withdraw mid-tournament with a low back injury - and it was tested again this week across the water in Tokyo, as the No.17-seeded Russian barely scraped through two of her matches en route to the final, battling over three hours to beat Petra Martic in the third round and rallying from 63 41 down to beat No.6 seed Sara Errani in the quarterfinals.
But Petrova passed all those tests, and after a semifinal win over No.8 seed Samantha Stosur she found herself in the biggest final of her long career.
Before this week, Petrova had only ever beaten two Top 10 players at the same tournament once, right here in Tokyo in 2008 - and with wins over Errani and Stosur she matched that. But with World No.3 Agnieszka Radwanska awaiting in the final, she would have to break new ground if she wanted to take the title - beat three Top 10 players at the same tournament for the first time.
Things couldn't have started better for Petrova, as she blew through the first set 6-0, playing almost flawless tennis - 16 winners to three unforced errors. But her game went awry in the second set, hitting seven winners to 14 unforced errors - the No.3-seeded Radwanska took it, 6-1. The final was heading to a final set.
"I played great in the first set but may have used too much energy, and in the second set I felt flat," Petrova said. "It took me a while to recuperate and get back into the game. After the second set when I went to change my clothes, I had a few minutes to think about what to focus on in the third set."
For the first time in the match, the two players both started bringing out their best at the same time; 1-all, 2-all and 3-all followed, and then a Petrova hold for 4-3. Radwanska built a 40-30 lead in her next service game but double faulted twice from there and Petrova pounced, breaking for 5-3 - she then served it out, finishing it with a huge forehand swing volley winner. Final score: 60 16 63.
"After running out of gas in the second set, I don't know where I found the strength and willpower to fight in the third set, but I did and it feels amazing," Petrova said. "This is the biggest tournament I've ever won. It's a great accomplishment. And at the beginning of the tournament I definitely didn't expect to win the title, because of the back injury I've been struggling with.
"I'm so happy to be here right now."
Seven of Petrova's 11 previous WTA titles were Premiers, but this Premier was more blinged out than them all with $2,168,400 in prize money for the field - her previous biggest were Charleston and Berlin in 2006, with $1,340,000 each.
The 30-year-old Petrova was asked in her press conference about the recent surge in success of 30-somethings on the WTA. "There are a few players who have won Grand Slams after 30, and I feel like I don't want to walk away from tennis without accomplishing the same," she said. "I still find the will to wake up every morning and go on the court and just try to improve with each day.
"If it's meant to happen it will, but if it doesn't, at the end of my career I'll know I've done everything I could to achieve it," the former World No.3 added.
Radwanska, who was the defending champion in the Japanese capital, still has a pretty sparkling record in WTA finals in her career: 10-4.
"I'm disappointed - I wanted to win this title so much, and when you're so close and feel you can make it, it's always emotional if you don't," Radwanska said. "But she was playing really well. Her biggest weapon is her serve, for sure, but also her return was very good today, and I had to serve really well myself to hold my serve. But overall I think those two shots were working really well for her."

THE MAN who crossed Australia on a penny farthing, performed the first underwater marathon in Loch Ness, and completed the London Marathon in a deep sea diving suit, faced a challenge when it came to his new fundraising stunt.
But, with the sizeable footprint of a 30ft long, 13ft high Tyrannosaurus Rex, former Blackpool FC goalkeeper Lloyd Scott can claim another fundraising feat that will go down in history.
The 48-year-old charity champion is walking an average 20 miles a day from Land's End to John O' Groats, closely followed by the prehistoric predator, which is being towed by a jeep.
The latest stop was in Blackpool, where Mr Scott, dressed as Indiana Jones, delighted children and adults alike, allowing them to clamber on his frightening friend.
Mr Scott said: "The dinosaur has certainly created quite a stir. When I arrive near major towns and cities, I parade through the streets with the T-Rex.
"Children love him, but even pensioners have sat on him and had their photo taken."
Mr Scott, who has raised almost 5m for cancer charities in his fundraising career, has already banked 125,000 through the T-Rex Trek, for a cause close to his heart.
It is 20 years since he received life-saving treatment after suffering from leukaemia for 18 months.
Since his recovery he has staged increasingly wacky fundraising events, helping to establish specialist cancer units for 23 hospitals in the UK.
"All the money from collecting in the towns and sponsorship will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust.
"It is 20 years since I had a bone marrow transplant, when it was a fairly new procedure, after finding a donor through the Anthony Nolan
Bone Marrow Trust panel, and I feel indebted for that.
"I want to do all I can to help make cancer extinct.
"When you're raising money for charity, you need to come up with an idea that will be as eye-catching as possible to get the most attention, and therefore the most money.
"The T-Rex came about by accident. At the last London Marathon, Shane Richie had interviewed me, and a reporter asked him what I had up my sleeve next.
"He was taken unawares, so said something about it involving a big dinosaur.
"Well, I lived up to his promise and here I am, on day 37 of my trek, in Blackpool."
The fundraiser is no stranger to the resort, having played as Blackpool FC's keeper in 1982, where he met future wife Carole, mother of his three children, Aimee, 20, and twins Luke and Elliot, 15.
Mr Scott, who was born in Rainham, London, said: "It felt like coming home when I arrived in Blackpool, which is nice when you've been walking around 20 miles a day and you're really tired.
"I lived in digs in Bloomfield Road, and everyone made me so welcome when I played here in 1982.
"And my children were integral in helping with the route, which was about three months in planning, as well as helping design the dinosaur, which was made to order by Asian Replicas in the Philippines.
"My dad, Ed, has been very loyal and has driven the mobile home that I had donated by Marquis, across the country behind me.
"It's very important to me that my family gets involved in something so close to my heart."
Mr Scott's family can certainly be proud of his achievements, which include a marathon up Everest in 1993, a 135-mile Death Valley Ultra Marathon in 1998, and a world record for the slowest ever marathon, crossing the finishing line of the 2006 London Marathon, wearing a suit of armour and dragging a 300lb dragon, in eight days and 13 minutes.
But the marathon man is not sure how many more how many more times he will raid the fancy dress cupboard and don the running shoes.
"The old saying, "it's not the age, it's the mileage" is quite fitting for me. Taking on so many outrageous pursuits does take its toll. This one was three months in the planning and will take more than two months to complete.
"I might manage the marathon next year, but then, maybe I will have a well-deserved rest!"
The prehistoric walk, which began on July 19, is set to finish in John O' Groats on September 27.

I know I said this in person, but I wanted to reiterate everything. I can't express enough how grateful we are to Sage and the entire staff. The event, even with the last minute switch in the ceremony, went off without a hitch. I also can't tell you how many people complimented us on the food. It was FABULOUS!!! I would never have guessed I was eating "wedding food". I felt like I was eating a meal at a very special restaurant.
But particularly to YOU, I wanted to say how much we are thankful for your gifts and talents. You instilled such confidence in us. I never worried about anything, once it was passed off to you. Rachel and I had planned so many extra details from the frames, votives, candy, notes, flowers, framed art, table assignment cards and other multiple signs - and you simply said - we will take care of it. SO many people came up to us and complimented all those little details, which never would have happened without you and the wonderful staff present. My daughter got her dream wedding -

First Rune Factory 4 Details
Producer promises embarrassing situations for game's love component.
The Rune Factory series is making its way to the 3DS with Rune Factory 4. Famitsu has first details this week on the sequel, which is being developed, as one might expect, by Neverland Company.
Players will be given choice of male or female main character at the start of the game. The male lead is Lest (voiced by Kouki Uchiyama). The female lead is Frey (voiced by Chiwa Saito).
Other voice actors confirmed for the game include Ayana Taketatsu, Aoi Yuuki, Hitomi Nabatame, Tomokazu Sugita, Daisuke Namikawa, and Kosuke Toriumi. We'll learn about their in-game counterparts in future updates.
Only a few details about the game have leaked out ahead of Famitsu's release (the magazine doesn't hit until tomorrow). The game will apparently have improved love elements. Producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto promises some heart-warming situations with your in-game counterpart. He describes these as "quite embarrassing."
Rune Factory 4 is due for 3DS release through Marvelous Entertainment some time this year.

Article Highlights:
- Kelly Leid will target North Denver opportunities, including the National Western Stock Show site.
- Mayor Hancock wants to establish the north corridor as a gateway to Denver.
- During his career, Leid has been involved in building two NFL stadiums, among other things
Kelly Leid, who has been involved in more than $800 milion in public project developments during his career, has been appointed by Mayor Michael B. Hancock as the new project manager for the "North Denver Cornerstone Collaborative," which includes the National Western Stock Show site.
Recognizing a convergence of upcoming projects in the Elyria-Swansea and Globeville neighborhoods, Hancock said he has identified an opportunity to energize a cornerstone of the Corridor of Opportunity and create a gateway to downtown by aligning individual efforts into one coordinated vision.
"Great cities begin with great city planning," Hancock said." Six primary projects with the potential to transform this corner of our city have in some cases included over a decade of planning," The time is now to establish deliberate connections that create place, drive job creation, generate substantial economic activity and attract investment. I can think of no one better equipped to bring the partners together for our mutual benefit than our own Kelly Leid."
Leid will manage for the mayor the general oversight, planning, strategic coordination, financing and implementation of the six primary projects, including management of city staff assigned to the collaborative.
"I am deeply honored to help lead this important set of projects on behalf of the mayor and our city," Leid said. "I have already begun implementing a 90-day listening tour with those who have been working hard on these projects to immerse myself in this new role and begin to create synergies. As a third generation Coloradan, I look forward to this exciting journey toward a new reality in the north side of town."
Highlights of the six projects that make up the North Denver Cornerstone Collaborative include:
- National Western Stock Show
In partnership with Visit Denver, Arts & Venues and the National Western leadership team, the NWSS site and current facilities to determine how to assure the NWSS's long-term sustainability at the existing site.
- Interstate 70 reconstruction
Collaborating with the Colorado Department of Transportation and area stakeholders to ensure smart improvements to I-70 between Colorado and Brighton boulevards that help reconnect Denver neighborhoods.
- RTD station development
Working with the Regional Transportation District and city agencies to coordinate the planning and implementation of the 38th Avenue and Blake Street (East Line) and the NWSS (North Line) stations that will serve the stock show area and connect downtown to the airport.
- Brighton Boulevard redevelopment
Overseeing effective public infrastructure improvements to the boulevard — the gateway to downtown from I-70 – and continuing the momentum of reinvestment that is beginning to emerge along this important roadway.
- River North
Reclaiming the river via greenway and transportation improvements and identifying sustainable development opportunities along the riverfront.
- Elyria-Swansea and Globeville neighborhood plans
Ensuring that the Elyria-Swansea and Globeville neighborhood plans are aligned with each other and with the myriad projects happening in and around these historic neighborhoods.
Leid will transition out of his current position as Director of Development Services during a three-month period. Hancok and Leid already have begun a search for a new Director of Development Services, who will maintain the positive momentum occurring in the department with a continuity of leadership.
In his 19 months at development services, Leid has focused on creating a strategic plan for the organization, building new 21stcentury project partnerships, and streamlining plan review, permitting and inspections services in an effort to support Denver's economic recover, according to Hancock.
With more than 20 years of broad-based management experience, Leid has been actively involved in the planning and execution of over $800 million in public facility projects, including college and K-12 facilities, two NFL stadiums, a recreation center and regional amphitheater. Leid worked on both the University of Phoenix Stadium, home to the Phoenix Cardinals and the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, and the Denver Metro Football Stadium District, which oversaw the development of Sports Authority Field at Mile High. He previously served as Director of Operations for Denver Public Schools and was responsible for the first LEED certified, multi-building, college-themed campus in the district.
"Seldom does a candidate for daunting tasks, like the National Western complex, come to the job with all the skills required," said Tom Clark, CEO of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp."The appointment of Kelly Leid to head up this effort proves the exception.
"Kelly has led mega projects, like the financing and construction of the Broncos' stadium," Clark continued. "He understands not only how to build these things but also the importance of working with a wide spectrum of regional stakeholders to get it done. He is creative, knows how to put together public-private partnerships and has a passionate heart to improve this place we know as metro Denver."

Jarkko Nikara is to compete in a MINI John Cooper Works WRC car run by the Prodrive WRC Team on Rally de Portgual in April, it has been announced

Jarkko Nikara is to compete in a MINI John Cooper Works WRC car run by the Prodrive WRC Team on Rally de Portgual in April, it has been announced.
It will be his third outing with the Banbury-based squad and he will be hoping for better after a rather disappointing time in Sweden. Indeed after shining in Spain at the end of last season, and finishing fifth overall on his first competitive outing in a World Rally Car, much was expected last weekend. However it all went wrong very quickly when he missed qualifying on Thursday after a high speed accident in free practice. He then lost over 40 minutes in SS3 on Friday, when he ran wide and beached his car in a snowbank.
Despite that though, Nikara insisted it wasn't all bad, and in the end he did get to the finish in his John Deere-supported car.
He was also happy with some of his stage times, and despite running first on the road pretty much throughout, he set one third fastest time on Saturday in SS12 - Hagors Sprint 1 - and he also managed two seventh quickest times and two eighths.
"We had a good feeling in the car on Friday, but on stage three I felt a bit of understeer and ran wide hitting the snow bank," Nikara recounted.
"I have definitely improved as the event has gone on though and I am pleased with my speed and I have learnt the car more and more as I only had 70km of testing before the event. The other guys here have had a lot more time in their cars and they know these stages much better than me, so I am pleased with my performance overall.
"I am now looking forward to Portugal. I drove there in 2009 in group N and it is an event I like."
Prodrive WRC team principal, Dave Wilcock meanwhile was adamant that Nikara's 25th place finish in Sweden wasn't a fair reflection of the Finn's weekend.
"You have to say that Jarkko has driven his first full snow event in a WRC very well. Despite driving on loose snow at the front of the field, he has still been able to demonstrate his raw pace with some excellent splits, while showing maturity to complete all 22 stages," Wilcock added. "Only the excursion into a snow bank on stage three has cost him a top ten finish, which in a field of this strength, with so many full works drivers with so much testing under their belts would have been quite an achievement.
"I look forward to seeing him back in the car for Portugal now and hopefully some further events. All he needs is time behind the wheel to really show his true potential."
