City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
Mayor Don Wesely
June 25, 2001
City Council Chambers
Standing before you for my third State of the City is an honor, and it's a privilege to serve as your Mayor. I remember the first time I stood up here a couple of years ago – I was so nervous. I didn't know very many of the city employees, I didn't know very much about city operations and the budget – I was learning all that rather rapidly. So it was very difficult for me to stand in front of a group I didn't know all that well to talk about what I thought the future looked like.
But after a couple years of experience, as I look around the room, I know so many of you so well now, and I am so glad to be working with you. We have such an outstanding set of directors for the city and our departments. We have outstanding city employees who work very, very hard and don't get the thanks and praise that you need and deserve. I'd like to start off by thanking all of our city employees for your wonderful work on behalf of this city.
I also want to thank the City Council. We have some new Council members, and I'm excited about having a chance to work with you. We've worked well together, the City Council and I, the last couple of years. We have challenges, but I know we'll work well together in the future, and that partnership is one I think we should cherish. I again want to express my thanks to all the City Council members for the hard work you do on behalf of the city. I appreciate it greatly, and I think all the people of Lincoln should express their appreciation to you as well.
I also want to say thank you to my family who are here. They have to put up with my long hours. I spend a lot of hours on this job. The thing is, there are some people who spend even longer hours than I do. That's the kind of hard-working city staff we have, because they are so dedicated and loyal to this city. I want to again thank all of them for their hard work.
For all of those gathered today and all those watching this address, thank you for your interest in Lincoln.
The year is 2001, and the State of our City is excellent. We are experiencing many successes, and our future is bright.
Rather than going through a list of what we've done and what we're going to do, I'd actually like to take a different approach to this State of the City and talk about the more personal feelings I have about the city of Lincoln.
In 1974, I was 20. I had lived in Lincoln since I was five years old. I was in college, and I decided I wanted to see the world. I spent four months traveling alone through Europe. I went to Paris, Rome, Madrid, Vienna and many other cities. I had a wonderful experience. It was educational and exciting. I learned about other cities, countries and cultures. But, I really learned more about myself.
One of the things I learned is how much I love Lincoln. At the start of the summer, I desperately wanted to get out of Lincoln. By the end of summer, I desperately wanted to go home to Lincoln. It changed my perspective tremendously. I'd seen some of the world, and I came to realize how lucky I was to live in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Now, as Mayor of Lincoln, my love for this Shining City on the Prairie is ever increasing.
What makes Lincoln so special? It's not the weather. It's not that bad, but it's not San Diego. It's not the setting. Although Lincoln has become a beautiful place, we don't have mountains or oceans, and not even a river runs through it.
It's the people of Lincoln who make it special. It's our family and friends, co-workers and colleagues and neighbors. They are hard working and honest, well educated and intelligent, friendly and family-oriented, frugal and fair minded, kind and caring.
What have the people of Lincoln accomplished? We are the 76th largest city in the country with more than 225,000 people calling Lincoln home. We ranks fifth in the percentage of high school graduates among the nation's 100 largest cities. I don't' think people realize what a well-educated community we have. Another figure I saw had us in the top ten for college graduates as a percent of our population.
Lincoln ranks as the 16th safest city in violent crimes and the 23rd safest city overall in the nation. I think we all know how safe Lincoln is, but our high ranking when compared to all the major cities across the country is quite an accomplishment.
Our thriving downtown is the envy of most cities. And believe it or not, Lincoln has the sixth best commuter time among the top 200 U.S. cities, with an average commute of 16 minutes. The surveys that have been taken over the last few years have ranked traffic as the number one problem in the city. If that's our worst problem, we're doing well.
We can be proud of Lincoln, Nebraska. Growing, prospering, well-educated and safe, Lincoln is a great place to raise a family or grow a business. My vision for Lincoln is to continue our growth while maintaining and enhancing our great quality of life. I want no bad neighborhoods and no bad schools in Lincoln. We won't give up on anyone anywhere in the city.
We accomplish that vision by working together and getting things done. Working together, Lincoln has a long tradition of partnership and a sincere spirit of cooperation. As Mayor, I have seen the fruits of this tradition. The City and County have 26 interlocal cooperative agreements. The City and County work very well together. We take it for granted maybe, but it's a wonderful thing.
The City and Chamber of Commerce have formed the Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development. That's a good example of partnership. It has great potential, and I want to build upon that cooperative effort.
The University Technology Park is an emerging success story of a city, university and business partnership. We have also seen the potential of the city, university, business partnership in realizing the successful creation of Haymarket Park and the initiation of the Antelope Valley flood control and redevelopment project. These are all city, university, business partnerships that have been a success.
I hope to see a new day dawn in Lincoln's relationship with Omaha and our other neighboring communities in Nebraska. I think there's a chance for partnership there that we have not pursued in the past, but I think the opportunity is now there. There are many more partnerships already taking form within Lincoln as we speak. We all have much to gain from working together.
For Lincoln to grow we need good jobs to attract people. We need good employees to attract those jobs. In talking to business, they like coming to Lincoln because of our outstanding employees. To attract good employees we need a good quality of life and that includes good schools, and so our futures are all tied together. Our self interests are all tied to the community's interest.
Lincoln works well together but we do have a lengthy decision making process to try to reach a consensus on issues. We work very hard on that, but we also have to realize that not every issue can reach a consensus. There comes a time when we must make a decision and take action.
Several of these long standing issues face us today. They include the east and south beltways, the development of Stevens Creek, Pershing Auditorium's future, an indoor ice skating rink, floodplain development, a "greenprint" plan for parks, the downtown megaplex, the old Federal Building and Centennial Mall.
Baseball was such an issue, and it serves as a model. After a 40-year absence, professional baseball has returned to Lincoln because of a partnership between the city, university and business. Despite strong opposition from some, a decision was made to take action. Now, just two years later, it's already a success story. I believe Antelope Valley and the Fire Department's ambulance service will likewise prove themselves in time. You make a decision and you move forward.
Lincoln needs to involve people in the decision making process, but at some point a decision must be made in order for the city to make progress. Clearly the more people involved and the broader the support for a decision, the better its chance for success.
Lincoln's future does not rest in my hands or the City Council's. Lincoln's future rests in the hands of the people of Lincoln. We have the "good life" here, but let us not take it for granted. Each of us must answer the question, "Am I doing enough for my community?"
In the late 1800s, Lincoln was called the "Athens of the West." The University of Nebraska was nationally renowned, and many additional academic institutions had been established here including Nebraska Wesleyan University and Union College. The "Athens of the West" – a very high compliment.
I recently came across the ancient Athenian Creed from Greece: "We will ever strive for the ideals and the sacred things of the city. Both alone and with many: We will unceasingly seek to quicken the sense of public duty. We will revere and obey the city laws: We will transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us."
I propose we change that creed slightly for our "Athens of the West:" "We will ever strive for the ideals and the sacred values of our city. Together we will unceasingly seek to quicken and deepen the sense of public duty. We will revere and obey the city laws. We will transmit this city greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us."
It is a creed that I encourage all of us to follow.
I want it to be clear that the people of Lincoln are who make this city great. People like Jim Abel who brought a beautiful new ball park to Lincoln; Doug Deeter, who is restoring the beauty of the Stuart Theater transforming it into the Rococo; Brent Toalson and all those students at Southeast High School who raised the money and led the way to a magnificent new Antelope Park Playground; Raymond Nestle who a year ago, donated over one million dollars to the Lincoln Libraries Foundation; and all the thousands of Lincolnites who devote their time and talent to help our community.
In addition, we also need to recognize good corporate citizens, which is why two years ago we started the Mayor's Community Conscience Award. Last year, Pfizer Corporation received the award, and this year, Ameritas was honored.
I thank all Lincolnites who have served in any way to help Lincoln. You are fulfilling your public duty as citizens of this city. We want even more people to follow your example.
Sometimes we don't realize how great this city has become. Sometimes we are too unsure of ourselves. It is my goal to help lift Lincoln's self-image and self confidence.
Lincoln has come of age. We must think boldly about our future. We must look farther ahead, broaden our horizons and deepen our commitment to our remarkable community. We must build on our strengths, honestly assess our weaknesses and strategically plan for our future.
That is what our current comprehensive plan review is all about, and everyone in the city is welcome to participate.
We can be excited about our future, confident together we can face any challenge and take advantage of any opportunity.
It is our time, and we are ready.

I competed in my third race this past Sunday, and prepared my self a little better this time around. Eating more the day before, and tapering off my training as I got closer to the race. Since LAX isn't that far from me, I rode to the race as part of my warm up.
This race was more intense than my previous ones, with a longer course (4 laps of 4 miles each in Cat V), more elevation change, and insane winds from the sea. Riding west bound it took serious muscle just to keep above 20 mph, but going east bound hitting 35 felt pretty effortless.
Here's a picture of me with my game face on, which is apparently more evil looking than I realized until seeing my self in the third person.
I came in 20th place out of a field of 50, after swerving out of the way of a flying bike in the sprint to the finish. Luckily the rider came out of the bad tumble and roll with only a broken finger.
Exhausted and hungry I ate a protein bar and then went with my friends to Casey's Crepes, a popular spot near Otis where I went to school. Then rode back to Santa Monica with my girlfriend who had ridden her bike from Hollywood to come watch the race. So concluded another great weekend of bicycle action.

For Kings defenseman Drew Doughty, this season is all about making the right decisions.
He seems to be off to a good start. Doughty, prone to weight problems, stayed in shape during the NHL lockout by working with a trainer and practicing with the junior team near his home in London, Canada. Gearing up for the opening of training camp Sunday and launching the 48-game season next Saturday, Doughty pronounced himself pleased with his fitness after he joined teammates for an informal workout in El Segundo.
"I probably weigh about 205 right now, which is a little bit down from what it was last year, so I'm feeling good," he said Friday. "This week is going to be important for everyone to get in shape and get back into game form, so we're all looking forward to it."
The most important choices for Doughty's life and career are still ahead.
He has the skating ability, vision, shot, and defensive instincts to take a stranglehold on the Norris Trophy, awarded annually to the NHL's top defenseman, and he finished third in voting for the 2009-10 season. Doughty, 23, acknowledged he hasn't consistently maintained that level of performance but said he's committed to getting back and staying there.

Re-using Yeast
I saved some of the trub from the bottom of a primary in which I used Safale 05 to ferment a 1.045 gravity ale. I packaged the slurry in two sanitized bottles, capped them and refrigerated them.
Will I be able to re-use this yeast and how?
How long will it keep?

Assuming there were no flaws during fermentation (infection, stress, etc), you can use that yeast again. I don't wait any longer than 1 week before re-pitching.

Yeast Life
That is up for debate. I have quite a few different yeast sitting in the refrig. I always make a yeast starter before pitching to make sure they are still active. With that said... I have used yeast six months old that has been sitting in a Mason jar under a inch or two of beer without an issue. Keeping everything clean is real important.

Year after year, Alyson Hannigan, her husband Alexis Denisof and their adorable daughter Satyana dominate our year-end Readers' Choice Awards. And now we have even more reason to celebrate: the How I Met Your Mother star is currently expecting the couple's second child this summer.
Alyson opens up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about partnering with Pull-Ups for the Potty Dance, remaining mum on baby's gender, her "fantastic" and "hilarious" daughter Satyana who turns 3 next month, and her plans for a second home birth: "I think that the home is the best place for me to feel comfortable."
CBS: Tell us all about Pull-Ups and the Potty Dance.
AH: "I've partnered with Pull-Ups for the Potty Dance Party. It's a really great way to encourage parents to pick a day and start potty training. They've done a great job at making it as fun as possible by coming up with this potty dance and a song. You can go to Pull-Ups.com and teach your child the fun song and dance. It's all about making it as fun as possible and less daunting."
CBS: Is Satyana potty trained?
AH: "During the day she's – I want to say – 100 percent potty trained. We haven't had an accident in a long time. But we haven't started the nighttime yet. I'll pick a day, but not while I'm working because I'm already sleep-deprived!"
CBS: Congratulations on your second pregnancy! How are you feeling?
AH: "Thank you! I'm feeling tired, but great. We're so excited! Satyana is going to be a fantastic big sister and we're really looking forward to that."
CBS: When are you due? Do you know gender yet?
AH: "I'm due in the summer. We know [gender] but we haven't announced it to the world, but Satyana might because she'll tell anybody. But for now, we're keeping that to ourselves."
CBS: Are you planning another home birth with a midwife? Did you receive lots of negative comments about your choice to have a home birth?
AH: "Yes, that is the plan. Hopefully all will go well. And yes, we had lots of comments about it. And we had the doctor that scared us tremendously. There was definitely more concern the first time around. For me, that was just the perfect place. I am absolutely terrified of hospitals. so I think that the home is the best place for me to feel comfortable. I had a midwife, her assistant and a doula. It will be the same again this time."
CBS: How's Satyana doing?
AH: "She's fantastic; she's hilarious! She's going to be 3 next month and she's just the best. She's very excited about the baby and already showing signs of being a fantastic big sister. She rubs and talks to my belly. It's so sweet."
CBS: Do you have any plans for her upcoming third birthday party?
AH: "I've been trying to figure out the best birthday party. But I think we might actually just do a trip to Disneyland with a few close friends instead of a big party. I think that would be really special for her and for all of us."
CBS: Awhile ago, you said you weren't sure about having a second child. What sealed the deal for you and Alexis?
AH: "Honestly, when she was younger I didn't want to share. I wanted her to have all of me. And now she's a little girl and so much more independent and self-sufficient. I see that she was ready, which made me ready.
I was an only child and I hated it, so I always wanted her to have a sibling. But I just wasn't ready when she was a baby. I wanted to give her those years."
CBS: What are some of your favorite motherhood moments with Satyana?
AH: "There's so many in a day. It's hard to choose any of them, but they're all so special. I love her perspective on life and I love getting to be a part of her world. She's just such a sweet, sweet person and I love the things that come out of her mouth. She's just so full of personality and so lovely. [Motherhood is] just the greatest thing ever!"
CBS: We just saw some pictures of Satyana dressed up like a princess. You don't seem like a princess-pushing kind of mama!
AH: "I know! We support whatever she's into. I thought it wasn't going to happen because she didn't really care about clothes, and then one day it was all about whatever she wants to wear! She went to a friend's house and they had a lot of dress-up clothes. And that was it – she was set!
So we got her a couple little princess dresses and she loves them! She picks them out all the time and insists on wearing them, like when we go get our little Boba drinks.
I support whatever she wants. If she wants to wear striped tights with a tutu, then she can do that. I love her expressions, so I embrace it. As long as she's going to be warm enough, she can wear whatever she wants."

6 Racy Books New Parents Will Appreciate
6 Racy Books New Parents Will Appreciate
Prepare to LOL! In an age of sanctimonious parenting – where strangers are more than willing to give you guidance on raising your tots – parents sometimes need to take a step back and laugh at the whole matter. Even before it's release, Go the F**k to Sleep ($10) was a hit with sleep-deprived parents. The NSFW book, written by novelist Adam Mansbach, takes the rhyming form of the hundreds of books we read to our tots before bed, but is filled with the thoughts that only enter the minds of parents who just can't bare to read "just one more book" and get "one more sip of water." Check out five more cheeky books, only parents could appreciate!

Hooker's career
It will be long before I cease to hear her voice in my ears, or feel her little hand stealing into mine; by the fireside and in the garden, wherever I go she is there
In August 1851, Hooker married Frances Harriet, eldest daughter of John Stevens Henslow, the Cambridge professor of Botany who had taught Darwin.
Joseph and Frances had four sons and two surviving daughters, but Hooker's favourite daughter, Minnie (Maria Elizabeth), died in September 1863, when she was just six years old. He wrote to Darwin, who had suffered a similar blow a dozen years earlier when his daughter Annie had died, that 'It will be long before I cease to hear her voice in my ears, or feel her little hand stealing into mine; by the fireside and in the garden, wherever I go she is there' (Turrill 1963: 191).
Hooker was close to his children and enjoyed playing with them. He also followed Darwin's suggestion and not only attended their births, but gave his wife the anaesthetic chloroform during labour, as Darwin had done for Emma – a procedure the two men agreed was as soothing for themselves as for the mother. Frances died in 1874 and two years later Joseph married Hyacinth, the only daughter of William Samuel Symonds, with whom he had two more sons.
The 1850s also saw the appearance of several of Hooker's most important publications. These were largely taxonomic, concerned with the classification and naming of new species and the re-classification of previously-known ones. Hooker was a taxonomic 'lumper', a proponent of large, broadly-defined species that encompassed many varieties that others classified as separate species.
Hooker's lumping was undoubtedly a product of his global plant surveys – compiling these imperial inventories was made nightmarishly complex by those he called 'hair-splitters', who gave a new name to every minor variation they spotted, thus multiplying species and names. In an effort to over-rule the splitters, Hooker claimed that the size of Kew's Herbarium (which contained about 150,000 species by the early 1850s) allowed global comparisons that made his judgements superior to those – like the colonial botanists – who only knew the plants of their locality.
The Herbarium was not the only part of Kew that had grown substantially since William Hooker had been put in charge. The Gardens had been increased from eleven acres to over 300 acres, containing more than 20 glasshouses and over 4,500 living herbaceous plants. Faced with this enormous expansion, the government finally agreed that the director could not cope alone and their decision brought a conclusion to Joseph's long search for secure, paid employment; he was appointed Assistant Director on 5 June 1855.
While Hooker was travelling, publishing and making his name, Darwin was still working in secret on his 'big species book'. Only his close friends knew that he was planning a comprehensive account of his long-held theory, but on 15 June 1858, Darwin received a letter from Alfred Russel Wallace, then in the Celebes Islands (Sulawesi), in which Wallace asked for Darwin's help in publishing his own theory of the transmutation of species – a theory that largely anticipated Darwin's own. Darwin was anxious not to lose priority for his idea, but equally concerned not to treat Wallace unjustly.
As Darwin and several of his children were ill, he left Hooker and Lyell to decide what to do. They arranged for Wallace's paper to be read at a meeting of the Linnean Society on 1 July, but to be accompanied by an abstract of Darwin's theory (which Hooker had read in 1844) and by a letter to Asa Gray, the American botanist, which substantiated Darwin's claim to priority.
Most thankful … that I can now use Darwin's doctrines – hitherto they have been kept secrets I was bound in honor to know, to keep, to discuss with him in private – but never to allude to in public
Although the Linnean Society paper did not create much public interest, Wallace's letter persuaded Darwin to publish a shortened, more accessible version of his theory immediately and Origin of Species appeared in November 1859. A month later, Hooker published his Introductory Essay on the Flora of Tasmania (the final part of the Flora Tasmaniae), in which he announced his public support for 'the ingenious and original reasonings and theories by Mr. Darwin and Mr. Wallace' (Hooker 1859: ii). As evidence for natural selection, Hooker offered a detailed analysis of the distribution of the Australian flora, arguing that a combination of his earlier 'Forbesian' geological theories and Darwin's could best explain the observed distribution of plants.

Malky Mackay has praised his in-form striker Kenny Miller for his incredible instincts in front of goal.
Miller has scored in his last two games against Blackburn in the Carling Cup and Birmingham in the Championship to bring his tally for the season up to seven.
"He was Europe's fifth-highest goal-scorer last year and he definitely brings instinct but also hard work and that's something you have to bring if you're going to be successful," Mackay said about the man he signed from Bursaspor in July.
The Cardiff boss also believes that Miller's lack of match fitness campaign and unfamiliarity with his new colleagues hindered his start to the season but he is now into the groove.
"He's someone that came in at the start of the season and didn't really have a pre-season behind him, but he's now beginning to learn how people play here and how they link up with each other."
Miller was not the only new face that Mackay brought to Wales as the acquisition of a further 11 new faces changed the whole complexion of the squad.
These new signings have started to find their feet and Cardiff are now in third place in the Championship and will play Crystal Palace in the semi-final of the Carling Cup.
"I thought we could fast-track them in terms of knowing how each other play. You've got to work hard on the training pitch to make it work quickly and we've gelled a little quicker than I thought."

Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the vehicle was introduced to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd earliest nameplate currently in production. Initial sales forecasts predicted less than 100,000 units for the very first year. This mark was surpassed in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold during the model year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built. Looking for Mustangs for sale in Manns Harbor NC is easy now. Just use the internet to search for them near you.
Classic Mustangs For Sale
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, however numerous modifications were made at the traditional opening of the brand-new model year (beginning August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the intro of alternators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some unusual quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made enough distinction to necessitate classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has endured with perfectionists. Buy Classic Mustangs in Manns Harbor NC and live the muscle car dream.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more rigid pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in automobile history that the Huge 3 were needing to take on imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller than the first version but, due to the additional devices needed to fulfill brand-new United States emission and security policies, was heavier than the first design. Efficiency was reduced and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were sold. Second generation Mustangs were available in between 1974 and 1978 and available in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a 3rd time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was actually big enough for 4 people. The trunk was bigger and so was the engine bay. The body designs available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang served as an Indianapolis 500 rate car and Ford developed 10,478 celebratory replicas. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982. Now has never been a better time to buy the Ford Mustang Of Your Dreams in Manns Harbor NC with special collector financing available.
Fourth generation design was available from 1994 to 2004. 1994 Brought about the very first significant redesign for the Mustang in 15 years. Patrick Schiavone included a number of styling from earlier Mustangs. The base design came with a 3.8 OHV V6 engine from 1994 to 1998, and was mated to a basic 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automated.

Charlie is convinced vaccinations are poison. We're told they are now at a stalemate and may end up in court. Pretty ironic and Hollywood, that a judge may have to decide whether to make the kids cry.
Apparently, the doctor for the kids has been siding with Denise. We got hold of a threatening letter Charlie's lawyer sent to the pediatrician last month, advising him Sheen did not consent to any treatment and promising legal retribution if he doesn't listen.

Ebony, September 1973
The return migration includes many college graduates and professionals seeking career opportunities. Unlike the previous migration from south to north, the net migration rates for those with college degrees or with at least some college were higher than for those with lower education levels. Between 1995 and 2000 Georgia, Texas, and Maryland had a particularly large influx of college-educated African Americans. New York was the top brain-drain state, losing more than eighteen thousand African-American college graduates in that five-year period. Barbara Merriday was one such migrant: after teaching in New York City, she returned to Atlanta to work as an associate engineer at the Atlanta Western Electric Company in the early 1970s.

We have completely redesigned the MegaChess Resin Chess Set with a 24" King - In the past, this model was primarily used as a decorative chess set. We've redesigned the set and changed the shape to match our traditional Staunton sets.
The redesign is stunning! The new design for the knight replaces the "laughing donkey" with a beautiful chess piece with the head tilted downwards and has a beautiful mane. The MegaChess Resin Chess Set with a 24" King is one of our most attractive mid-priced chess sets. The traditional Staunton style is familiar to all chess players. Fiberglass or resin is an ideal material for MegaChess sets because: It is hollow, hence light. This chess set is ideal for decoration and light usage.
Traditional Staunton Style, Perfect Outdoor Chess Set for Home use. The smooth hard finish feels similar to a billiards ball. The color of the set is an antique white and a dark brown.
Our Resin Chess Set with a 24" King is very popular for outdoor use. Children and adolescents especially love these pieces, and they are still not too large, nor too heavy, to be taken with you wherever you should wish to play. Even if kept permanently outdoors, in yard or garden, because they are of fiberglass they can withstand any weather.
For limited spaces, this elegant resin chess set captures the feel of an oversized chess set. When planning a playing area, consider the minimum size of the square of a chessboard as the diameter of the base of the king (11"). The optimum chess board would be 12" squares, a standard tile size, yielding a chessboard 8' on each side.
Our Chess Sets are featured around the globe in some of the most exquisite resorts, country clubs, corporate settings, and backyards.

'OKvlees.nl' is a website+store selling organic and free-range meat to consumers interested in tasty, healthy meat and they take animal welfare serious. Antibiotics, hormones and other non-natural substances are not used in growing the animals. The animals live their lives as natural as possible on a farm. The farmers will receive a fair price, thereby creating a sustainable, economically sound supply. The pricing of the meat will be significantly below that of specialised organic or free-range butchers.
The meat has a high Quality (tastier than regular meat), is Healthy (due to absence of hormones and antibiotics) and the offering is Transparent (it is possible to trace back the farmer where the animal lived). Core values for the brand are down to earth, proud, passion, reliable, and fair.
Target customers are well educated and care about animal welfare and environment. They are unhappy with the current meat offering in retail. They care about their family and want to offer tasty and healthy meat at every day's diner table. For the target audience, the current offering is too expensive and/or the availability is too low (either in completeness of product range or in distance to the selling point). They are a non- or light-user of organic or free-range meat. The target audience can be characterised by adventure holiday and not a organised group-travel; enjoys cooking and not take-away junk food; active (walking, biking) and not a TV addict; fuel efficient car and not a SUV, socially involved but not the first to join a protest march; down to earth and not philosophic; quality newspaper and not a tabloid ('the Sun')

LOS ANGELES -- Many automotive journalists, when asked for their fantasy road test, would promptly reply, "A Porsche 911, up the California coast."
Although I've been doing this job for 20 years, until a few weeks ago I had never been fortunate enough to embrace this experience.
I have evaluated the various 911 iterations over the decades, and for a few years I owned a well worn 1987 Carrera coupe in Venetian blue. But this was my first chance to blast a shiny new 911 Carerra S up the Pacific Coast Highway and Highway 101 from L.A. to Paso Robles wine country.
After life with my 1987 Carrera, one word I never thought I would use to describe a 911 would be "practical." My stout old 911 had zero cargo room under the hood and provided the air conditioning equivalent to a Doberman panting on you. The clutch was grabby, the steering required muscles I never knew I had, and its interior noise levels were akin to a Turkish soccer stadium.
Nonetheless, there was a primal connection to a machine that is rarely felt in modern car production. I loved it.
Major improvements
Fast-forward to today, when the world is celebrating Porsche's 50 years of refining the classic 911 design. The engineers in Zuffenhausen have created some fantastic improvements to their iconic car.
Porsche has made the driving process easier, without losing that man-machine connection. As for surprise-and-delight items, the 2013 edition has a cargo storage bin in its front trunk that easily held two suitcases -- or two cases of wine and a small duffel. The climate control is the efficient equal of any full-sized luxury sedan. The navigation system is clinical and straightforward.
Perhaps most startling: After more than 770 miles of freeway and back roads driving, the 911 delivered 25 mpg. That's the same as I got from a dowdy Hyundai Elantra I tested a while back.
Normally I am a stick-shift purist when thinking of sports cars. But as Whole Earth Catalog author Stewart Brand once said, "Once a new technology rolls over you, if you're not part of the steamroller, you're part of the road." If automatic transmissions are good enough for Formula One race cars, so be it.
My 911 tester came with Porsche's tongue-twisting Doppelkupplung dual-clutch automatic, and it changed gears far more quickly and precisely than I ever could on my old Carrera.
Somewhere north of Cambria, the 911's guards red paint aflame in the coastal gloaming, I snapped out of a narrow cresting chicane, the 911's back end protesting the lateral forces. I quickly paddle-shifted down two gears and found myself nearly aloft with acceleration.
Frankly, I like the view from the steamroller.
Polarizing reactions
Driving a gleaming new 911 tends to elicit polarizing reactions. Unlike a Ferrari or Lamborghini, which prompts an eye-popping stare akin to a UFO sighting, a Porsche 911 somehow remains in the psyche of the middle class as a visceral, attainable objective. Usually, there was respect and a faint glimmer of awe from fellow drivers. Folks check you out.
But for those people resigned to never acquiring Stuttgart's finest -- and I'm talking to you, Mister Eggplant Toyota Highlander driver near San Luis Obispo -- there was the occasional passive-aggressive crowding maneuver more often seen on the back-straight at Talladega.
Not that everything was flawless with the 911 experience. A wind-whistle from the driver's window crept in insistently above 65 mph. Twice I witnessed a worrying "Error: Engine Malfunction -- Fanner" message from the instrument panel (I shut off the engine, waited 30 seconds, restarted the car, and no more message).
And while the 911 could almost be a grand tourer -- what with the 4 inches more wheelbase than its predecessor -- none of it seemed to go into the back seat, which remains the abode of Longchamp bags and Parson Russell Terriers. Gentle conversation still is drowned by the Wagnerian road roar transmitted into the cabin by the 20-inch wheels.
And, of course, it wouldn't be a Porsche if it didn't have ridiculous markups for options, which took my tester's sticker price up to an eye-popping $145,045; a stock Carrera S is $96,400. Ceramic brakes, leather trim, sport exhaust and "chrono" packages all cost dearly, well into four figures apiece.
My favorite road-trip-for-four car remains a late-'90s BMW M5, with its lumpy cams and refined road manners. But if it's a mad-dash escape for two into the sunset, the 911 has my number.

The Pitfalls of Working From Bed
More mobile, wireless devices means more people are working from bed. A comfortable idea in theory is not so good for people in practice, as productivity expert Laura Stack and WSJ's Sue Shellenbarger explain on Lunch Break.

This red International Tractor from ERTL is a model of the real vintage farm equipment you might see in parades or even in a museum, but this 2.5" die cast model is great for your child's collection. Because this is a more detailed and fragile model, it's recommended for 8+. The metal tractor is so detailed that you can even see the lines and identify the components in the engine! This tractor has small parts and is a choking hazard for kids under 3.

Just two days after forming my idea for research on TCEDC's impact in the community, almost everything seems to be in line: TCEDC's directors have said my research is an important need; Dr. Nibbs, my cultural anthropology professor and mentor for the internship, has helped me to outline a plan and create interview questions; and I already have started some preliminary interviews with several of TCEDC's clients.
Yet I already have some hesitations about the whole thing. As good as the idea may sound, it ultimately came from me, an outsider, rather than the community. The distinction is significant: not only does my outsider's perspective compromise my ability to do research, but it also establishes an undesirable relationship that places me in control over the community, and even opens the possibility of harming the community. The social sciences have recently started to take an introspective look at these relationships as well as the ways research has had unintended negative consequences on communities. Even if my research sounds benign, if not beneficial, it runs into the very same problems described above.
In response to these concerns, the social science community has developed a process to more effectively involve the community in research, known as Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR). This process holds promise but takes a lot of time and planning, making it virtually impossible for me to accomplish in my short time here. I'm uncertain about how to address the issue. Although I won't let it stop my research, I will be doing so with much deeper contemplation and sensitivity.

Two more days until weekend, that's comforting I would say!
I know the weather looks really nice in the pictures but trust me, sunny days in November are a sign that it's actually pretty cold outside! Although the pictures are a little to bright, it's nice to be able to take pictures without worrying about the rain.. I had my first hand-in yesterday and I must admit that it was one of the hardest for me.. We had to submit a 5 minute audio podcast and you have to have it perfect from the start until the end so I have probably recorded it a thousand times as I was always saying something wrong in the last minute.. but I managed to get it done and I am so happy it is out of the way!:)
Those who have been in my VidathingS "journey" for a while now have probably already seen this shirt in two other outfit posts, but if you haven't you can see them here ( a little more of shirt! and Plaid & Wedges!).. We all know that tartan pattern is so on trend right now, you can find it everywhere and I couldn't be happier about it! I don't know what it is but I just love the pattern.. If you haven't bought anything with a tartan pattern yet but you are thinking about it I would definitely recommend a tartan shirt.. It is such a versatile piece, you can dress it up or dress it down, you can wear it as an outwear over tops, or as a top, or even underneath your sweater, you can see how I style it in three different ways! As for the shorts, I love them.. I love everything glittery and I love how the look like plain black shorts but they actually have small glittery parts on them!
I am wearing:
