Letters to the Editor
La Blaine, San Blaine
The Editor:
Should the city of Blaine change its name? It has been proposed that Blaine change its name to enhance its tourist appeal and give it a name that would suggest a destination. Well, I have been giving this a lot of thought and have a few modest proposals.
I can think of a few cities that have been successful in attracting tourist dollars, so why not follow their lead? LaConner, Washington, a charming place whose economy depends on tourism is well-known for its waterfront and shopping. Why not change Blaine to La Blaine? San Francisco, another waterfront tourist destination, how about San Blaine? Las Vegas, although not on the water, is clearly a tourist Mecca � Las Blaine?
And finally, my personal favorite, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico � a lovely seaport renowned the world over � Puerto Blaino? Now that one could attract an international crowd. I�m quite certain that if any of these proposed names were adopted, in no time at all Peace Portal Drive would be lined with trendy bistros serving pricey �sparkling waters.� Pass the Pellegrino please.
Anne Abrams
supports troops
The Editor:
This letter is in response to Virginia Reeves� letter in the April 24 edition of The Northern Light titled �Right to opinion, but respect neighbors,� in which she objected to my display of flags and signs on Peace Portal Drive in support of U.S. troops. A picture of the display was published in the April 10 edition of The Northern Light under the headline �Patriotic prayers for the public.�
Virginia Reeves, of Edmonds, has a right to her opinion, even displaying in her condo unit window an anti-war poster reading �No Iraq War.� Ms. Reeves, my question is that you object to patriotic prayers in support of our troops while they are in harm�s way. Reeves wrote, �I wonder if Mr. Manfra�s display would be appreciated by our troops if it were outside their doorstep for several weeks?� Does she really imagine that our troops would prefer to see her decries of anti-war sentiment which she displayed in her condo in April and May, over my display of prayers and support for their well-being? How in anyone�s name could you write that you wonder if our young men and women fighting for the Iraq people would appreciate the display of support and prayers for them?
It is my opinion, if I am not mistaken, that you have never read past the first or second amendment of the Bill of Rights. If you haven�t yet, please make it a point to read the ninth amendment now, which says the enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
This old and proud veteran, half century passed by the one and only God known to all humanity, allowed me to still have a surge in patriotism along with the majority of Americans. The dust from the attacks of September 11 had barely settled when the �politically correct� crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. All I would like to say to the patriotic and proud citizens of Blaine is open your hearts and speak out what is on your mind.
Ms. Reeves wrote, �I am reminded how noble it has become for this former veteran to support our troops with many flags waving as he stomps on the rights of the citizens here at home looking for a peaceful holiday that is not to be obtained.� This Korean veteran, in stomping around, received a lot of support from the people of Blaine for my display. It seems to have upset her on her vacation here in Blaine.
And for the record, I have yet to have one word with Ms. Reeves and neither have I confronted her. I will state that her husband and I confronted each other and I will let it go at that. I could continue this response further, but enough for now, I hope. In closing this response, it could have all been avoided if she hadn�t taken it upon herself to use my surname in her letter.
May God bless America and its endeavor for freedom of speech, equality and justice for all mankind.
John A. Manfra
change ridiculous
The Editor:
Ridiculous, the real name for people trying to change Blaine�s name.
Changing the name of Blaine for better economic times is like changing it to Jobmecca � more jobs or at least better paying ones. How about Hooterville to improve the size of � our owls?
What is the underlying problem? Mismanagement. Instead of enticing businesses to Blaine, we are spending money on a boardwalk. What about the always beautiful Marine Park and Peace Arch Park? Blaine can�t even keep businesses here, they�re leaving daily. How can they consider a boardwalk and like the famous movie quote �build it and they will come?�
The citizens of Blaine should be protesting in the streets, not collecting signatures to change our name. If the mayor and council could just run the dirty bookstore out of town, things would get better. Have things gotten better for you? How many businesses have closed up in town since the bookstore left? How many for sale signs have gone up since then? How many letters to the editor has the mayor written to reassure us that things are ok? Have you thought, �how can we afford another rate increase?� or �can I afford to buy a house in Blaine?�
The mayor and council should be making Blaine more family-friendly and business-friendly. No more political jargon. Blaine government leaders, what are you going to do to bring affordable housing and family wage jobs to Blaine - the place I call home? How much more business can you turn away before we say enough?
I don�t care about a boardwalk. I�d rather walk in Marine Park, Peace Arch Park, even the boardwalk down at the marina. I want to buy a house, raise my children in a safe place without my electricity rates going up.
We need to make Blaine an affordable place to live, and let the personality of its citizens and its history draw tourists here. Changing the name will make Blaine lose all of its history. We can�t let that happen. Mandy Gagnon
Bay, WA
The Editor:
Boundary Bay, WA. Sounds like a nice place to visit, perhaps dine by the bay overlooking Canada or stand on the new docks and watch fishing boats entering the quaint harbor. You can actually fly right into the Boundary Bay airport and be right in the heart of the town. It�s a lovely, often sunny, area known for its excellent water bird watching and small town ambiance. Two border crossings are nearby to take you into beautiful British Columbia.
The name Boundary Bay conjures up a place that�s just a handshake across the border from Canada. Indeed, the geographic body of water named Boundary Bay straddles both countries. Boundary Bay Provincial Park in Canada promotes the idea of actually being able to swim into the U.S. and return to Canada as you play in the warm waters. Let�s face it, Blaine is named after a presidential candidate, a loser who blew into town on a whistle stop train. The populace was so taken by this politician, they changed the name of their town to honor his visit.
Boundary Bay is a name that shows our close and friendly relationship with British Columbia and it would be a shared name between the two countries. As a businessman, I�d love to see the name Boundary Bay on my letterhead instead of Blaine. And it would be nice not to spell my city�s name every time a caller wants to mail me something.
I know a lot of long-time residents in Blaine want to hold onto history. History for our little town will end soon enough if real and positive changes aren�t made. The only businesses left in town will be customs brokers and operations that exist to board up closed storefronts. By choosing to call ourselves Boundary Bay we hold onto our local historical ties and have a name that says who we are, where we are and retains our bond with the local maritime environment.

limits in place for a reason
The Editor:
Regarding Jason Dixon�s letter to the editor May 8-14 � isn�t that just the mentality of so many today - speed?
I drive 70 mph on the freeway and everyone passes me with total disrespect for the law. What makes them so special that they can drive over the speed limit, leaving law-abiding citizens in the dust? What a selfish society we have become. Jason is talking about increasing the speed through Blaine residential neighborhoods from 25 mph to 35 or perhaps even 45 mph!
If I�m not mistaken, the downtown speed limits in Lynden and Ferndale are also 25 mph � for a reason! And why won�t he accept the residential argument? Haven�t we all seen children and animals dart out in the street chasing a ball in residential neighborhoods? Perhaps that is due to irresponsible parents and owners, but why should upping the speed limit also contribute to their endangerment? How about learning some patience and respect for the law and people�something very sadly lacking in today�s society.
Now regarding Kara Hollenbeck�s letter of the same date suggesting a new name for Blaine of Sparkling Waters � that is laughable.

to honor Elfo
The Editor:
It is our great honor and pleasure to invite you to American Legion Peace Arch Post 86 police officer of the year ceremony. This year we are honoring an extremely well deserving recipient. We are honoring Bill Elfo, presently Whatcom County Sheriff who also served the Blaine community with distinction for six years as the Blaine police chief.
This ceremony will take place on Friday, May 16 at 7 p.m. at Peace Arch Post 86.
We look forward with anticipation of your attendance. If you could, please RSVP by calling us at 371-7311 and letting us know of your attendance.
Richard L. Burrus,
Post Commander
Elfo, a quality sheriff, citizen
The Editor:
The Bellingham Herald has reported in recent articles regarding sheriff Bill Elfo�s concerns for law enforcement in Whatcom County. He is confidently taking on the tough issues by providing creative solutions without an increase in taxes.
It has been my experience, as a Blaine citizen, that sheriff Elfo is a quality officer who is truly concerned for the safety and welfare of everyone he serves. He was an asset to our city and since his appointment, has made major contributions to the security of Whatcom County.
His professional training is remarkable. He has attained a Bachelor of Science, Master of Science and Juris Doctor degree � all with high honors in his field of criminal justice. His experience in law enforcement as an officer in Pompano Beach, a metropolitan district, has shown his expertise in organizing a city department as well as serving as a city prosecutor.
Elfo, by experience and training, is without peer in my
estimation. He demonstrates concern for students and parents
by maintaining open communication and contact with the schools.
He is a husband, father, and community member who regularly
participates in the Whatcom community.
I support him in his efforts to solve the concerns of our county and feel that the citizens need to retain and support this quality administrator. Gordon L. Dolman,
Ed. D.
safe for kids
The Editor:
I can�t disagree more with Ms. Hollenback and Jason Dixon�s letters to the editor.
I am 11-years-old and I ride my bike and skates all through this town. Do you think I want cars speeding past me everywhere I go?
I like living in a small town with low speed limits, it makes me feel safe. And Sparkling Waters is a water bottle brand! Maybe you should think before you go around trying to change things that shouldn�t be changed. I have lived here since I was two and even though I am not very old, I know that Blaine is our rightful name. You are insulting the people of Blaine and you are insulting Blaine�s ancestors. My ancestors. I don�t think my classmates, my whole school for that matter, would appreciate almost getting run over every time they cross a street.
Haven�t you noticed how badly some people drive here? Increasing the speed limits would only make it worse. I speak for my friends, family, and community.

Best Raw Squatter and Sponsored by the Best AtLarge Nutrition, Titan, and APT.
Impressive, do you think you could break your 1000 lb squat record by at least 50 lbs now?
Was it to a box?
Reason I ask is you go down under great control, hit a point and dip down pretty quick and recover just as quick. Wondering if that was going down and off the box or just your ability to pop out of the hole.
Rob's not saying it, but we had been working those sets with a brief pause on the box. If you watch the video closely, Rob didn't really pause like we had on previous sets, he was thinking he had to go deeper than the box was, kind of jammed himself at the bottom, went forward, then recovered and stood up.
I tried like crazy to beat him the next set with 1110 (in briefs), but couldn't do it. 1030 was the limit yesterday. It was a good day.

Obesity is the latest epidemic of the 21st century. Indeed, numerous studies have associated obesity with an increased risk of developing several health conditions, including cancer. Moreover, modest increases in body mass index increase the risk of developing cancer, especially cancer of the kidney. Although the mechanism mediating this increased risk is unknown, the plasma level of adiponectin is known to be inversely correlated with body weight and risk of developing kidney cancer.
Tumour suppression via adiponectin is believed to be mediated through adiponectin receptor-1, which activates AMPK by LKB1 and suppresses pathways upregulated in cancer by inhibiting mTOR. Consistent with the anti-tumourigenic properties of this pathway, several cancers display reduced AdipoR1 and LKB1 expression and/or increased mTOR activity. In this study we identified reduced AdipoR1 and LKB1 protein expression in patients' renal cell carcinomas and quantified the reduction in LKB1, on tissue microarrays containing 201 RCC patients, to be significant.
Targeted knockdown of LKB1 in CRL-1932 cells (shLKB1) was accompanied by a reduction in AdipoR1, and recapitulated our observations in RCC tumours. These shLKB1 cells were unable to execute established events of adiponectin-AMPK signalling and, presented increased proliferation and invasion abilities in vitro and tumour growth in vivo. Collectively, these results suggest that a reduced plasma level of adiponectin coupled with a downregulation of AdipoR1 and LKB1 expression, disrupts the tumour-suppressive adiponectin-AMPK signalling pathway, and rationalizes the association of obesity with the development of RCC.

CNN — Ever wonder which cities of the world might be the most trustworthy? Reader's Digest did!
Researchers dropped 12 wallets in the major cities of the world and waited to see how many people would return them.
The number one city with the highest rate of return is Helsinki, Finland.
Reader's Digest says residents in Helsinki returned 11 out of 12 wallets, by far the highest number in the study.
Mumbai, India was number two. Mumbai residents returned nine out of 12 wallets.
Budapest, Hungary and New York City tied for third place.
Residents in those two cities returned 8 out of the 12 wallets.
Number 5 is Moscow, Russia. Seven out of 12 wallets were returned by Muscovites.
The most dishonest cities? Reader's Digest says that's Lisbon, Portugal, where just one out of every 12 wallets was returned.
In Madrid, Spain, residents returned just two of the 12 wallets dropped in the city.

You Can Still Join Einhorn's Side on This Stock
Anjali is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
David Einhorn's bearish presentation on Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ: GMCR) at the Value Investing Conference last year made him an instant hero among Wall Street professionals. Green Mountain Coffee Roaster's stock has corrected more than 70% since then. He still remains bearish on GMCR citing its capital expenditure, doubtful accounting practices and unfavorable competitive landscape. However, there is another consumer stock where Einhorn's bearish bet is garnering more attention off late. At this year's Value Investing Conference he has "Einhorned" Chiptole Mexican Grill's (NYSE: CMG) stock. Chipotle is a restaurant company and serves Mexican food which includes a menu of burritos, tacos, burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla) and salads. The stock fell from $313 to $293 within seconds of Einhorn's presentation.
Figure 1: The Einhorn effect
Source: Google Finance
Einhorn's main bearish argument is that Chipotle is losing market share to YUM Brand's (NYSE: YUM) Taco Bell. Taco Bell has recently launched its Cantina Bell and Doritos Locos Tacos menu which provides a cheaper and better alternative to Chipotle's offering. Even if we look at third party consumer perception survey companies like YouGov BrandIndex, Taco Bell has gained a good traction since the new menu launch and consumer perception of Taco Bell has improved dramatically since July.
Source: YouGov BrandIndex
What David Einhorn presented was not entirely a new thing. There were visible signs that Chipotle is losing ground to taco bell after last quarter's earnings result. While Chipotle reported 8% SRS (Same Restaurant Sales) increase in Q2, Taco Bell reported a 13% increase. However, one thing which makes David Einhorn's presentation significant is that the stock market is yet to price in the complete impact of this market's share loss. There are two main drivers which are likely to cause the stock downside going forward.
- Multiple Compression
Chipotle is trading at a forward PE of 25.77 even after the recent correction. This is way higher than the established restaurant fast food companies like YUM Brands and McDonalds which are trading at forward PE's of 17.65 and 15.27 respectively. Given the fact that Chipotle is losing market share in its particular category, this premium looks unjustified. Even if we believe sell side estimates and assume Chipotle will be able to deliver 21% growth next year, its PEG ratio still comes to be greater than 1 making it expensive on a PEG basis.
- EPS expectation is yet to come down
According to Yahoo! finance estimates, Chipotle is expected to grow its EPS at 21.22% per annum for the next 5 years. I believe this number has to come down as analysts start pricing in Chipotle's market share loss story. The company's SRS has already shown a slow down in last quarter. SRS slowdown hurts in two ways. On the one hand, it reduces the profit per store expectation and on the other it makes management more cautious while opening new restaurants. Sell side estimates for Chipotle's next year's earnings have already come down from 11.09 to 10.90 in the last 90 days and I believe this is just the beginning of the trend. As there is more evidence of Chipotle losing ground to Taco Bell, this downward trend will continue.
I believe with the multiple getting compressed and an EPS decline would cause a good amount of further downside in the stock. In addition there are other concerns like Chipotle's questionable employment practices and commodity inflation which will prove to be a headwind for the stock. For those who are looking to short, I believe there is a good amount of downside still left in the stock and Chipotle may soon become a secular market share decline story. I would recommend short selling the stock at current valuations as the risk reward are still on the downside.

A 43-year-old driver has been arrested after fleeing the scene of a
collision that killed a passenger who was naked and had lain down in the road.
According to Phoenix Police Sgt. Steve Martos, about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, a female pedestrian entered the roadway at 34th Street and Thomas and began to remove her clothing.
She then laid down in the roadway, in an apparent suicide attempt, and was subsequently struck by a 2010 Toyota Yaris, traveling eastbound.
The driver of the Toyota stopped near the scene and stood by, watching the activity, without rendering aid to the victim, Martos said. When police arrived, the driver fled the scene in the Toyota without identifying herself as being involved in the collision.
A citizen and an officer performed CPR on the victim, but she later died at a hospital.
Police later located the Toyota and initiated a traffic stop. The driver, Aimee Butel, 43, allegedly showed signs of impairment and was booked into the 4th Avenue Jail on charges of DUI and leaving the scene of a fatal collision.
The victim's name hasn't been released.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The Green Bay Packers will raise their ticket prices by $2 to $5 a seat for next season.
The team announced Tuesday that the 100 and 300-level seats at Lambeau Field will cost anywhere from $74 to $97, depending on the location. And the new seats above the lower bowl in the south end zone will cost $82 to $89.
Packers' president Mark Murphy said the increases would keep his team around the league average for ticket prices.
Visiting teams get one-third of ticket revenues, and Murphy told season-ticket holders he needs to be fair to the visitors and, "be as affordable as possible for you." He also said the Packers needed to coordinate their lower-bowl ticket prices with those in the new sections.
Payments for season tickets are due on March 28th.

Alcoa funds to be used for boardwalk
The city of Blaine received a $29,561 check from Alcoa, reported city manager Gary Tomsic at city council�s Monday night meeting.
The funds represent the second and last installment of funds from Alcoa required through an agreement between them and the Bonneville Power Administration, he said, adding they will be used for design and engineering costs for the city�s proposed downtown boardwalk.
The $1.5 million boardwalk, to be built on the western side of Peace Portal Drive between G and H streets, is hoped to be completed next year. According to community development director Terry Galvin, construction will begin sometime this spring.
The first phase of design work was completed by Anvil Corporation in the fall of 2003. Earlier this month, the Carletti group had been approved to complete the second phase of design work, including drawings and structural engineering plans, at a cost of $109,000.
Last year the city received a check for $34,000, and those funds were also used for the project. �In the lean budget years the city has been experiencing, the boardwalk engineering might not have been done were it not for the funds from Alcoa,� said city finance director Meredith Riley.

Cancer Survivors: After the Cancer Experience (ACE)
ACE is the After the Cancer Experience program at Children's Medical Center that provides long-term monitoring for children, adolescents and young adult survivors of childhood cancer. We believe that cancer survivors require special care and resources that are customized for their unique medical and psychological needs.
The nationally recognized program follows cancer patients who are disease-free and have been off therapy for at least two years. The ACE program is one of just a few long-term follow-up cancer survivor programs in the nation that bridges the medical care from childhood to adult life within a centralized medical system.
The ACE program treats toxicities of chemotherapy and radiation such as cardiomyopathy, osteopenia, growth abnormalities, infertility, kidney problems and second malignancies with referral to subspecialists.
At present, one in every 640 young adults aged 20 – 39 years old is a cancer survivor, which means that there are now 270,000 childhood cancer survivors in the United States. Over the past two decades, we have learned that cancer survivors have many unique medical issues and may be at risk of many severe side effects as a result of their cancer or its therapy. The ACE Program was created to address these medical issues and to be on the forefront of medical research for childhood cancer survivorship.

Special Situation: Titanic Assets
Mike is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Premier Exhibitions (NASDAQ: PRXI) is known around the world for the "Bodies: The Exhibition." It has been big around North America and became even more famous after a scandal a few years ago. This same company owns and displays many artifacts from the Titanic. According to an appraisal done in 2007, the assets are worth $189 million, which is more than the market value of the entire company at $131 million; however, the artifacts have been hard to sell.
Premier planned to sell the assets during the 100th anniversary of the Titanic. It was at the same time that James Cameron re-released the Titanic movie in 3D. Premier hired a company that specializes in selling artifacts and other valuables, but even with a $10 million selling bonus the company was not able to sell the assets. Subsequently, the stock dropped. The sales firm attempted to sell the artifacts again at a smaller $5 million fee after the previous commission ran out but they were not successful. One of the difficulties in selling these assets is that they cannot be split up. All $189 million worth must be sold together due to a court order. Since these attempts to sell, Premier's stock has been quite volatile as investors struggle to find their perceived value of the company.
On the last earnings release a lot changed for the good. First, Premier had another profitable quarter, which proves that they can be a consistently profitable business. Also, the CEO stated that they have a buyer for the Titanic assets that has signed a letter of intent (LOI). This does not necessarily mean the artifacts will be purchased because the unidentified buyer needs to get financing together before the purchase. It is certainly a step in the right direction though.
So if the assets are purchased, what is the value of the company? First, let's figure out the amount of cash that Premier could expect from the artifacts. The assets have been appraised at $189 million and taxes on the sale amount would likely be around $66 million. There is a possibility of a spin-off though. During the earnings call the CEO said, "In addition, the LOI contemplates the sale of RMST stock, which our tax advisors believe is the preferable deal structure for the company to achieve tax efficiency." So the tax amount could be substantially lower. Then if we assume there will be legal and other fees of about $4 million. So if the spin-off doesn't work out, Premier could receive around $119 million in cash.
On top of this asset there is a profitable, growing business. After years of losses, Premier is turning around. In the first half of this year, the company had a net income of $4.2 million. Management has said that profit will be lower in the second half of the year, so if we assume the profit is only $2.8 million (67% of the first half of the year), then 2012 net income is $7 million.
The correct multiple is tricky for this growing turnaround. There aren't any close competitors other than small private companies. This low competition is likely due to the moat that Premier has built, which is a good. Lack of competitors also makes it hard to value the company. If we look at other companies that focus on family entertainment, we could look at Six Flags (NYSE: SIX). Six Flags is a drastically different (roller coasters vs artifacts) business and has a PE of about 34. Cedar Fair (NYSE: FUN) is another family entertainment business and has a PE of around 16.
Or we could compare the company to the wax museum owners of France, Musee Grevin. They have a PE of 18. If we end up using a conservative PE of 8 for Premier, the company would be worth $56 million. It could be worth a lot more though since ticket sales are up 28% per exhibition and the number of exhibitions is up 45% in the last year. Many of these exhibitions have a decent moat too. It's hard to replicate the exclusive rights to display a certain set of artifacts.
So if we value the artifacts at $119 million and the remaining business at $56 million, the present company should be worth around $175 million. At today's market value of $131 million, it seems an undervalued business. There is a chance of the Titanic deal not going through though, but management is motivated to do it, the buyer wants it, and the artifacts have been up for sale for a while so their shouldn't be any hidden problems. If this conservative estimate actually occurs, an investor could see a 30% gain from today's price.

One Night Stand Sleeper Sofa
Maxwell's Daily Find 01.21.14
One Night Stand Sleeper Sofa
• $1,899
• Blu Dot
Since it came out, I've been a big fan of this svelte modern sleeper sofa solution. Designed by Blu Dot, it's got durable good looks, a comfortable sleeping surface and an uncomplicated folding and unfolding approach. You can see comments on it here, and if you want to go cheaper in a similar style, I would recommend either or these super affordables: the Anywhere Sofa at $399 or the Lubi Daybed at $899.

Hi Maxwell, you need to fix the link to the previous comments. :)
Thank you providing items at varying price points in your recent posts!
Thanks Jose. Done!

Time for the 'Best Bite in a Theme Park' tournament
Written by Robert Niles
It's summer, and time for another Theme Park Insider reader tournament!Tweet
This time, we're voting on food -- not on restaurants, but on individual items. What is the single best thing to eat or drink at a theme park -- the best snack, appetizer, entree or beverage? We need you to submit your favorites, then I'll sum up the picks, seed the top nominees in brackets and open up the voting.
Please try to be specific when submit a pick -- if you can tell us the place and park where you get it, that would be helpful to me in setting up the brackets. Don't just submit "churros," tell us where the best churros are to be found, if that's what you want to nominate.
Start the campaigning in the comments, if you'd like, or feel free to ask any questions about this tournament. And let the tastiest treat win!
Update: Duh. The timing: Get your nominations in by this Friday. I want to announce the brackets and start voting Monday.
Readers' Opinions
From John Quinteros on July 15, 2008 at 8:32 PM
Well, out of all the times I have been to theme parks: I don't realy know. My picks would be Dole Whip from Disney and Vault-Icee.
From Robert Niles on July 15, 2008 at 8:46 PM
Early nominees include (in no particular order):
Cheddar Cheese Soup from Epcot's Le Cellier
Hope that jogs some memories and elicits some more nominations.
From Anthony Murphy on July 15, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Something tells me there should be some Mythos things:
Here are my nominations (though you took some Robert!)
Grapefruit Cake (Brown Derby, DHS)
Funnel Cake (Six Flags Great America, its great!)
Ma's Meatloaf (50's Primetime Cafe)
Coca Cola Ribs (Sci Fi Dine in. DHS)
Feduccini Alfredo (Italy, EPCOT)
Giant Drop Bowl (Six Flags Great America)
From Amanda Jenkins on July 15, 2008 at 10:21 PM
Hmmm this was tough narrowing it down.
Chocolate Cake (6 layers) from the Main Street Bakery Magic Kingdom
Chocolate Malt from Mrs. Pott's Cupboard, Magic Kingdom
Character Dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern (I'm a sucker for turkey with potatoes and gravy) Magic Kingdom
For a quick bite, The Electric Umbrella for a cheeseburger. Epcot
And a frozen Coke from anywhere.
From Mark Hollamon on July 16, 2008 at 5:52 AM
For me it has to be:
Dole Pineapple Float at MK
Taramisu at Italian Pavillion, Epcot
Banana Chocolate Gooey Cake, Mythos
From hannah caller on July 16, 2008 at 6:02 AM
I loooooooove the "breakfast fajita" in the Rainforest cafe, its Bacon,Sausage,scrambled eggs all wrapped up in a flour tortilla then topped with tomato sauce and cheese its scummy!!!!
and as Robert says the free beer, its not very often you get something free in a themepark so this is a really good one!!
From Scott Thatcher on July 16, 2008 at 8:20 AM
The sausage platter from Festhaus in Busch Gardens Europe
From Christina Horwitz on July 16, 2008 at 9:32 AM
I love parks that have good food - it really makes a difference when it comes down to how enjoyable the trip is!
So here are a few of my favorites:
Chocolate souffle - Victoria and Albert's - Disney's Grand Floridian - expensive dinner but so worth it just to end with this
Pineapple Dole Whip - Magic Kingdom
Philly Cheesesteak sandwich and ice cream shake - The Plaza Restaurant - Magic Kingdom
French toast and Coffee - Kona Cafe - Disney's Polynesian resort
Rainbow snowcones (believe they are called Kakagori) - Japan in Epcot
Moose/Goose juice - used to be a stand in Seuss Landing but it hasn't been open in awhile despite my pleading : )
Chocolate Croissants - Crescent Moon Bakery - Islands of Adventure
Cesari's pizza - Knoebel's
Frozen Iced Tea slushie - Knoebel's
Anything from the Smokehouse Restaurant (but especially the warm apple crisp) - Busch Gardens Europe
Trio platter w garlic breadsticks - Italy - Busch Gardens Europe
Fresh lemonade - Hersheypark
Kettle Corn - Hersheypark - this is the best kettle corn anywhere in my opinion.
Fries from Potato Patch - Kennywood
That's all I can think of for now...need to get lunch - just made myself hungry!!!
PS: Someone mentioned the fetuccini alfredo that Alfredo's in Epcot used to have. Sadly, the restaurant was given a make over and is no longer Alfredo's - and along with the name went the fetuccini (and the prices skyrocketed!)
From Deidre Dennis on July 16, 2008 at 9:45 AM
The Boysenberry turnovers right outside Knotts Berry Farm are absolutely delicious for a snack.
From W McCarthy on July 16, 2008 at 10:49 AM
Churros with chocolate dipping sauce at the Fun Town Market in Legoland. They put DL's churros to shame.
From Anthony J on July 16, 2008 at 11:56 AM
Risotto of the Day - Mythos, Islands of Adventure
Buffalo BBQ Fried Chicken Wrap - Mythos, Islands of Adventure
Warm Chocolate Banana Gooey Cake - Mythos, Islands of Adventure
Moose Juice - Seuss Landing, Islands of Adventure
Le Special de Monte Cristo - Blue Bayou, Disneyland
From Brian Creedon on July 16, 2008 at 12:33 PM
I can't believe you all missed the best theme park "snack" ever. popcorn @ anywhere in the Magic Kingdom in WDW. I don't know why, but they do the best popcorn anywhere not just against theme parks!
From Missy Renee on July 16, 2008 at 2:18 PM
Sampler platter, especially the Cannelloni- Italian Pavilion, BGE
Fried dill pickles- Smokehouse, BGE
Man, I am getting hungry reading all of these votes...is it dinner time yet???
From Anthony Murphy on July 16, 2008 at 2:25 PM
I know it went away. Tutto Italiano is great too (food is still excellent).
Another "Extict" Bite: Peanut Crusted Chicken (Tusker's AK)
From Tyler Donovan on July 16, 2008 at 3:25 PM
veggie burger at the electric umbrella (Future World, EPCOT)
veggie burger in the rainforest cafe (animal kingdom)
cheesecake from the cheesecake factory in disney quest (downtown disney)
veggie entree from tepan edo (Japan, EPCOT)
From Franki Brock on July 16, 2008 at 4:22 PM
Something that isn't necessarily on the menu but is excellent would be Chicken Enchiladas from Mexico Pavilion in EPCOT
From Brandon Mendoza on July 16, 2008 at 4:27 PM
And something that's is awesome, but not really in a theme park is the Beignet's from The Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney right next to Disneyland. Yeah, they're Homer Simpson food, but yum-EEEEEE!
From Robert Niles on July 16, 2008 at 4:30 PM
You can get beignets in Disneyland Park, next to Pirates of the Caribbean. Been so long since I've had them, though, that I can't say if they are the same as Brennan's.
From Curtis Young on July 16, 2008 at 5:32 PM
There's NOTHING better than free sodas at Holiday World- unlimited, all day, every day!
There's no way this could compete simply because of where it is and how recently the outlet opened, but the 1/3 pound hot dogs at Dollywood's Wrong Way Joe's are the best dogs I've had anywhere, theme park or not.
From Mostly Anonymous on July 16, 2008 at 10:49 PM
Darn, my favorite won't have a chance, because hardly anyone here has been to Japan. The Gyoza Dogs from DisneySea really live up to their reputation - best bite I've ever had at a theme park. And we went early, so we only had to wait in line 20 minutes to get them!
Actually, in general the food at the Japanese parks beats pretty much anything in the U.S. Other best bites include the Curry Rice and the Chocolate Mousse at the Hungry Bear Cafe, and the fresh strawberry dessert at the Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall.
But I'll just campaign for the Gyoza Dogs. Please, Disney, we beg you - bring Gyoza Dogs to Anaheim!
From Rob P on July 17, 2008 at 4:10 AM
The ribs from the Flame Tree BBQ in Animal Kingdom are hard to beat.
The hot corned beef sandwich at Flanagan's in Universal Studios ( Florida) is also pretty good.
The chicken salad at the Columbia House in Magic Kingdom is great too.
From Molly R on July 17, 2008 at 9:42 AM
The number 1 food item of all time: French Fries from Circus McGircus in Universal's Islands of Adventure. Hands down.
From Scott Verble on July 17, 2008 at 2:09 PM
Any of the BBQ items at dollywood
Pineapple Float MK
Blue Berry Muffin (stand outside mission space)
Fish and Chicken (columbia harbour house mk)
All breakfast items in the main street bakery mk
Shogun Combo Japan Epcot
From Nat Herder on July 20, 2008 at 1:08 PM
The one food that has become essential to my Disney experience is clam chowder in a bread bowl. Nothing like buying one and watching the fireworks from new orleans square.
From Mary Ann Nowak on July 20, 2008 at 2:54 PM
My vote -- The Mickey Ice Cream Bar at Disney World or Disneyland! It is a "must have" on my vists!
From John Chaffin on July 20, 2008 at 10:00 PM
For me it has to be:
Best Appetizer:
Best Entree:
Best Dessert:
Best Beverage:
"Man I'm gettin' hungry, your fault Robert"

After the usual sleep-deprived schedule that precedes most Hot Import Night events, entrant Joey Touchton slipped into the solace of slumber after his 2000 Civic earned him enough accolades to finally relax. Various modifications such as the Skyline taillights and the custom 19-inch rollers from HRE helped secure a respectable position in the competitive Civic class. He went to bed content, but his sweet slumber was shattered by a bearer of bad news. "Joey, wake up!" came the urgent announcement from his friend. "Something's wrong with your car!"
The previous night Joey had entrusted the keys to the valet. He must not have tipped or something because sure enough the unscrupulous car-parker left the show car open. When Joey opened the door and looked behind the Sparco Flash 5 steering wheel he found the ignition wires spilling from the column like intestines out of a slashed stomach. At this point, Joey wanted to slash the stomach of the valet with a box cutter. But he refrained, choosing instead to take a deep breath and see what good might come out of the situation. "It was a bad thing," said Joey. "But it did have good repercussions."
In an effort to prohibit this sort of fiendish hooliganism from happening again, Joey had the door handles shaved and solenoids installed. While he was at it he had the moldings shaved and a Sparco gas cap molded in. These upgrades, and others following, would bring Joey's Civic to the pinnacle of perfection.
With as much money as there is in the engine, it's probably a good thing that the Civic wasn't stolen. From the AEM cold-air intake to the GReddy turbo kit to the custom three-inch exhaust the spec list to the engine is longer than most other show cars'. The accompanying Spec Chart mentions more than bolt-ons though. Take a look and you'll notice the block has been bored .020 over and the head has been ported and polished. If some engines are massaged or warmed over, this B16 has the temperature of upper Hades. With close to 400 claimed horsepower, this engine isn't making gross, unreliable horsepower from hell, but it's halfway there.
The most appealing part of the Civic's exterior has to be the Skyline taillight conversion. Although this has been done before, it's still looks fresh along with different car/color combinations. In this case, the cobalt blue sets off the red of the taillights and the whiteness of the owner like a flag whipping in the wind. God Bless America. Of course, the Nissan Silvia S15 headlight conversion isn't exactly something to ignore either. With these unique spots and a molded Ground Designs Black Widow kit adorning the body, the once civil Civic looks more than aggressive.
Joey says that the rims are the favorite mod to this car. We can see why. The wicked rollers are special-order HRE whips of the 19x8 variety with a custom offset to fit the Civic's arches. Needless to say the Toyo Proxies P4s that wrap them have the profile of a rubber band.
This rigid rolling stock combination puts a lot of pressure on the suspension. The East Coast is not an easy place to roll a slammed chariot. Nonetheless, Joey cruises his hometown of Delaware fully decked thanks to Skunk2 coil-overs and Tokico blue shocks and struts.
The entire interior is glassed up, even the headliner. Take a look at the interior door panels. Silver ghost flames to match the barely visible flecks of flame on the exterior show fastidious attention to detail that any autistic with obsessive compulsive disorder would be proud of.
The icing on the cake is always in the form of, well ICE. What's the fun of having a sorted engine if you can't bump the Beasties or rock the Rolling Stones while you're cruising down Delaware's main thoroughfare. As you can see from the spec sheet Joey has this avenue covered properly.
This right coast Civic illustrates that you can have show and go in one complete package. Just don't leave your package with an under-tipped valet.

The reopening of the Main River wing with the new presentation of the Städel's "Old Masters" (1300–1800) collection on December 15, 2011 marks the conclusion of the comprehensive refurbishment measures in the old museum building. Developed by Prof. Dr. Jochen Sander, chief curator of the "Old Masters" collection and Deputy Director of the Städel, the new presentation benefits essentially from the recovery of the historical main axis of the Main River wing, which, starting from the central Rotunda, connects the large skylight galleries and their related cabinets. While the eastern part of the building is reserved for German, Dutch, and Flemish painting with masterpieces by Dürer, Grünewald, Holbein, and Elsheimer, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Brueghel, and Rubens, the rooms following the cupola hall in the west mainly accommodate works by artists from Romance countries' schools, splendidly represented by Mantegna and Botticelli, Tiepolo and Batoni, Poussin and Chardin. The Rotunda itself houses a small, yet qualitatively outstanding group of early Netherlandish paintings – a tribute to the crucial role played by masters like Jan van Eyck, the "Master of Flémalle," or Rogier van der Weyden in the development of European painting north and south of the Alps.
Besides familiar and world-renowned masterpieces of the Städel, the restructured presentation of the collection also boasts numerous new acquisitions, which, as important additions, fill gaps in the Städel Museum's collection of old masters. One of the highlights is certainly the purchased portrait of Pope Julius II by Raphael and his workshop. A portrait of Martin Luther by Lucas Cranach the Younger could be secured for the museum through the work's acquisition by the Städelsche Museums-Verein. Guercino's "Virgin with Child," dating from about 1621/22, was added to the collection as a donation by Barbara and her husband Eduard Beaucamp.
"Extending the Städel's collection in all areas is one of our main concerns," says Max Hollein, Director of the Städel Museum. "In parallel with the development of the various collections we have also made the structural alterations necessary to not only preserve the substance of the building, but to adapt it to the requirements of a museum run along modern lines."
"We are very pleased to be able to present our important collection of old masters, which forms the Städel's foundation, in its traditional place again after it has enthralled thousands of visitors at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and in Tokyo and Aichi during the refurbishment measures," emphasizes Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Schweickart, chair of the Städel Museum's administrative board.
Refurbishment of the old museum building
During the fifteen-month conversion period, the complete old museum building (the Main River wing and the garden wing) has undergone basic refurbishment. Under the direction of the architectural office schneider+schumacher, which is also responsible for the ongoing extension of the Städel, the fire protection facilities and the barrier-free accessibility of the museum were improved. Further measures concerned the creation of a connection between the old building and the extension via a central stairway located exactly in the axis of the main entrance, as well as the reconstruction of the Metzler Hall, for which the internationally acclaimed artist Thomas Demand conceived a specific work.
In the course of the refurbishment measures, the rooms for the "Old Masters" presentation in the Main River wing and, before, the galleries reserved for "Modern Art" in the garden wing were optimized both architecturally and technically after plans by the architects Kuehn Malvezzi. The layout developed by the architect Oskar Sommer in 1878, which had been changed during the Städel's reconstruction after World War II, was restored by opening the central axis. By screening some of the cabinets' side windows, the presentation areas could be considerably extended. A specific color concept helps visitors find their way through the new exhibition. Bright and classical colors dominate the "Old Masters" presentation, the three primary colors red, blue, and green marking the different areas of the collection in the skylight galleries. The adjoining cabinets also reveal more intimate special tones.
A new lighting system supports the color concept for the presentation of the collection. Dimmable artificial lights were installed in the large skylight halls so that conditions can now be adjusted to the individual presentations in the various galleries. A light bar permits to accentuate single exhibits with additional halogen and LED spots. The seating facilities have been replaced with newly designed leather benches, which invisibly incorporate technical air conditioning devices and round off the presentation of the collection in the old building as a both new and familiar spatial experience for the visitor.
The costs for the refurbishment of the old building – of the garden wing and the Main River wing – amount to a total of 18 million euros. 11.4 million euros are covered by the City of Frankfurt; the rest is met by the Städel Museum. "What Frankfurt has shown in recent years is what extraordinary role culture may play in an active city," says Prof. Dr. Felix Semmelroth, head of cultural affairs of the City of Frankfurt. "Particularly for a business and finance metropolis like Frankfurt, culture is an essential factor for the city's positioning in the region and beyond it. The Städel, which has also accommodated the works from the Städtische Galerie since 1908, takes an important position as a cultural highlight in this context. This is why the City of Frankfurt regards it as its task to support the Städel's successful endeavors and safeguard their results for the future," Prof. Dr. Semmelroth emphasizes.
The presentation of the museum's contemporary art collection in the new extension building accessible as of February 25, 2012 will provide the final highlight for the Städel's reopening series.
History of the Städel's collection of old masters
Since its foundation in 1815, the Städel has been a museum of middle- and small-format pictures. This already characterized the collection of its founder, Johann Friedrich Städel (1728–1816), but also holds true for the majority of works by old masters added to the collection in the course of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Many of these works were donations or legacies left to the museum by Frankfurt citizens eager to follow in Städel's footsteps; most of these works came from private art collections in the Main River metropolis. Such collections had already been part of the repertoire well-off patrician and middle-class Frankfurt families relied on for their self-presentation in the eighteenth century – an instrument that leaves no doubt that they ultimately followed the traditional model of the aristocracy.
Yet, not even a decade would pass after the Städel Museum's foundation before this profile determined by the Frankfurt collectors' specific taste began to be changed. First still impeded by quarrels over the founder's will with distant relatives, the administrators of the foundation aimed at making Städel's private collection a public collection from 1828 on – a presentation that was to comprise exemplary works from the most important schools of European painting. This objective was achieved thanks to the stroke of luck that Johann David Passavant, the great art historian and connoisseur, was appointed curator ("inspector") of the Städel – a post he held from 1841 until his death in 1861 – as well as to his successors' collecting activities. "It was not least due to Passavant's expertise – who had set out on his career as a member of the Nazarene movement – that the collection of old masters in the Städel achieved its level of quality which is still admired internationally today," Prof. Dr. Jochen Sander points out. Not only key works of early Netherlandish, German and Italian painting, but also important Dutch and Flemish Baroque paintings were added to the collection assembled by Städel himself. However, representative, "princely" large formats such as Rembrandt's "The Blinding of Samson," Tiepolo's "The Saints of the Crotta Family," or Poussin's "Landscape during a Thunderstorm with Pyramus and Thisbe" would only become part of the museum's holdings in the course of the twentieth century. Today, the Städel Museum still finds itself confronted with the task of filling gaps in its collection of old masters mostly caused by personal preferences of taste.
New hanging and priorities of the presentation
The new hanging offers several new core themes. Right at the start, visitors will find themselves confronted with a so-called Petersburg or salon hanging – a symmetric arrangement of works closely mounted in multiple rows, one above the other – which conveys an idea of Johann Friedrich Städel's original collection in his house on Frankfurt's Roßmarkt. The presentation comprises most of the still extant pictures from the founder's possession. Yet, since far more than four hundred of the five hundred paintings of the original collection were already sold with Städel's explicit approval in the first third of the nineteenth century so that better works could be acquired, the definite appearance of the collection rooms could only be reconstructed selectively. This homage to the founder of the institution and the origins of its collection center around two portraits by Frans Hals that rank among the masterpieces of the Städel's collection. The paintings in the museum were presented in the Petersburg fashion until the early twentieth century, by the way; the taste of the times only changed after.
The stairway presentation also recalls the beginnings of the institution by confronting two monumental works by the Nazarene painters Philipp Veit and Friedrich Overbeck, who decisively influenced the Städel's fortunes in the early nineteenth century, with a work by Carl Friedrich Lessing, whose history painting superseded the Nazarenes' religious art.
Leaving the stairway behind, visitors enter the Rotunda, where they find themselves face to face with a high-carat ensemble of early Netherlandish paintings. Comprising works by such artists as Jan van Eyck, the "Master of Flémalle," or Rogier van der Weyden, this part of the presentation gives lively evidence of the fact that the Städel Museum boasts one of the most important collections of early Netherlandish painting in the world.
Presenting major works by Lochner, Dürer, Grünewald, Holbein, and Elsheimer, as well as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Brueghel, and Rubens, the main galleries to the right are dedicated to German and Netherlandish painting, while the various schools of Romance countries follow to the left with paintings by Mantegna, Botticelli, Tiepolo and Batoni, Poussin and Chardin. The respective lateral cabinets accommodate further, mainly middle- and small-format pictures of the contexts presented in the galleries. Thanks to the specific quality and composition of the Frankfurt old masters collection, specific new core themes continually emerge beyond mere regional groupings and schools. The gallery highlighting German painting on the eve of the Reformation with its magnificent assortment of masterpieces by Dürer, Grünewald, Cranach, Holbein, and Altdorfer not only confronts the visitor with the sacral painting of the era, but also presents itself as an extraordinary portrait gallery. The two rooms reserved for Dutch painting, whose exhibits are grouped around major works by Rembrandt and Vermeer show two obvious core themes: history painting and landscape painting. Visitors will make similar observations in the rest of the galleries and cabinets.
Like the stairway presentation with its salon hanging, the two cabinets flanking the stairway in the west outline the history of the Städel Museum's collection. Here we come upon the portraits of a Frankfurt patrician family, the von Holzhausens, which were entrusted to the museum as the last male representative's legacy in 1923. High-caliber works by Faber von Creuznach, Urlaub, and Ziesenis illustrate the changing character of the family's desire for representation across the centuries, but also document the development of portrait painting between the Renaissance era and the Rococo age.
In one of the cabinets, Georg Baselitz's major work "Oberon" and Eugen Schönebeck's "Bildnis L. T." welcome the visitor as harbingers of the approaching opening of the new galleries of contemporary art scheduled for February 2012. They enter into a dialogue with the old masters' works and illustrate the continuation of the Städel collection into the present. Baselitz's "Oberon" exemplifies the survival of mannerist gestures across the centuries right down to today's art. The fact that Baselitz became a collector of mannerist art himself later on makes the ahistorical analogy emerging here all the more interesting. Schönebeck's "Bildnis L. T." does not render the Russian revolutionary Leo Trotzki as a dynamic leader, but rather as a monumental, almost petrified projection figure with an oversized head. Especially a comparison with Amico Aspertinis's "Portrait of a Man" underscores Trotzki's nonsovereign inhibited attitude. The major works by Baselitz and Schönebeck were donated to the Städel Museum by the German collector Dr. Dorette Hildebrand-Staab in early 2011.
The new "Old Masters" presentation has been sponsored by the Sparkassen-Kulturfonds des Deutschen Sparkassen- und Giroverbandes.
New acquisitions and donations
The Städel's collection of old masters has also again and again been extended selectively, but purposefully through the acquisition of exceptional individual works in recent years. The line of significant purchases of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Dutch paintings in the early twentieth century – for which Rembrandt's "The Blinding of Samson" (1905) and Hieronymus Bosch's "Ecce Homo" (1917) may be cited as examples – could be continued with the acquisition of Dirck van Baburen's "Young Man Singing" (2007) and the eponymous main work of the Master of the Van Groote Adoration, a donation by Dagmar Westberg (2008).
Portrait of Pope Julius II by Raphael and his workshop
In 2010, the Städel succeeded in acquiring the portrait of Pope Julius II by Raphael and his workshop from the private Ellermann collection. This portrait ranks among Raphael's most famous works and has survived in several versions; the best known is to be found in the National Gallery in London, another in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. Measuring 106.0 x 78.4 cm, the painting on a poplar panel not only fascinates the viewer by virtue of its artistic quality, but, unlike the London and Florence versions, also shows a number of creative changes carried out in the course of its execution. The underdrawing, which can be made visible by means of infrared reflectography, shows that revisions were made especially in the area of the face and the position of the chair. Likewise, the position of the right hand was also altered during the painting process as documented by x-ray. These interventions and the particular character of the underdrawings testify to an exceedingly creative approach to pictorial invention, which lends this work a special status in comparison to the hitherto known portraits of Julius.
Lucas Cranach the Younger's Portrait of Luther
With the acquisition of Lucas Cranach the Younger's portrait of Luther by the Städelsche Museums-Verein in 2010, the counterpart to the portrait of Philipp Melanchthon, already in the possession of the Städel, has found its way into the museum. The two reformers' pictures can now be presented together for the first time after eighty-six years and as a portrait diptych provide a new highlight for the German painting section. The provenance of this portrait of Luther, which was purchased in New York, can be traced back to a French private collection of the 1920s without interruption. The likeness was still listed as a work by Lucas Cranach the Elder, who died in 1553, in Max J. Friedländer and Jakob Rosenberg's catalogue raisonné. This can be mainly attributed to the then reading of the dating of the picture as 1539. When the painting was carefully cleaned in 1978, the original dating of 1559 came to
light. Since then, the work is regarded as a painting by Cranach the Younger. The work had already been identified as a counterpart to the Städel's portrait of Philipp Melanchthon by Kurt Löcher in his review of the museum catalogue.
Guercino's "Virgin with Child"
In 2010, Barbara and Eduard Beaucamp of Frankfurt donated the painting "Virgin and Child" (ca. 1621/22) by Guercino, one of the foremost painters of the Italian Baroque, to the Städel. This both valuable and art-historically significant work has been a crucial addition to the institution's collection of old masters. Barbara und Eduard Beaucamp had discovered the painting at an art dealer's in 1981 and purchased it at a cost far below its real value, as the work was considered a nineteenth-century copy. The art critic and his wife Barbara Beaucamp's expert eye, however, recognized the painting's extraordinary quality.
The reopening of the "Old Masters" presentation will be accompanied by the publication of a survey of the collection titled "Alte Meister (1300–1800) im Städel Museum" (Old Masters [1300–1800] in the Städel Museum), which, based on the institution's holdings, sheds light on important aspects and stages of the history of European painting between 1300 and 1800. Central pictorial tasks – such as the monumental public altarpiece, the individually used, smaller-format devotional picture, the portrait, the landscape, the genre, and the still life – are discussed as are historically essential epochs of the development of European art that were of decisive influence on the Städel's collection: Northern European painting in the late Middle Ages and Italian Renaissance painting, Mannerist art and Baroque art north and south of the Alps, and, finally, eighteenth-century painting. The Städel's works feature prominently in all essays of the catalogue: the texts are aimed at encouraging readers to visit and explore the paintings for themselves.

Florida Governor Rick Scott has wrapped up a day-long swing through Lee County. He toured Shaw Development in Bonita Springs, Chico's in Fort Myers as well as Garden Street Recycling – also in Fort Myers.
The governor called Garden Street Recycling a model for the rest of the state.
"I don't think any scrap yard in Florida has ever had a Governor's visit until this one," said Rob Weber, President of Garden Street.
Governor Scott saw how Garden Street Recycling turned an old contaminated lumber yard into a business employing 80 people.
"It would take a lot of tax payer money to do what we're doing," Weber said.
How they cleaned up the land got the governor's attention as well as Garden Street's desire to expand.
They're opening a facility in LaBelle next month and looking to buy land in Miami. The governor's pitch - stay in Florida.
"And I want to make sure that if they have any concerns about why they're in Florida, how can I help them expand because we want more jobs in Florida," Governor Scott said.
The governor told NBC2 that creating more jobs is his number one challenge in 2013. He's quick to point-out successes.
"The biggest drop in unemployment, other than one state," the governor said.
He also pointed out the challenges ahead.
"Look we still have 700,000 people out of work. So we have to keep working to make sure we're the place where if you want to grow a business, start a business, you want to do it in Florida," he said.
Governor scot calls Garden Street a model for the rest of the state - especially on the issue of thieves trying to sell stolen metal.
"We got legislation passed to crack down on that," Weber said. "It's nice to know you are recognized when you're doing the right thing."
Monday, Governor Scott will be in Washington to talk health care. He'll meet with the secretary of Health and Human Services about how Florida will implement "Obamacare."

The iconic Brit pop band The Stone Roses became an overnight sensation when their 1989 eponymous album went double platinum. It was a recording that is still often listed as one of the best albums ever made. Its chiming guitar riffs, anthemic melodies, and Smiths-like pop sensibility elevated The Stone Roses to a cult-like status in the UK and put them on the map in the U.S. But theirs is a story of unfulfilled success: their star imploded as their sophomore effort took years to complete and the band broke up acrimoniously in 1996. Sixteen years later, they reunited and have been playing sold out gigs, thrilling fans around the globe, and working on new material. In 2013, they nabbed the coveted headline spot at the Coachella Festival.
With one hundred interviews of key figures, forty rare photographs, and exclusive insider material including how they created their music, The Stone Roses charts the band's rise from the backwaters of Manchester to becoming the stars of the "Madchester" scene to their successful comeback years later. Going beyond the myths to depict a band that defined Brit pop, Simon Spence illustrates their incandescent talent and jaw-dropping success while contextualizing them in the 90s music scene. This is the definitive story of The Stone Roses.
'The band's background has never been so exhaustively detailed...an absorbing yarn." —Sunday Business Post
"Rich with context. The view from the American industry is particularly illuminating." —The Observer
"Simon Spence's Stone Roses bio War & Peace is so good. This is gonna be a summer of Roses books—but this is the one, this is the one." —Q Magazine

MADISON, WI (WSAU) Another assistant coach appears to be on his way out of Wisconsin. Football-Scoop-Dot-Com said today that tight ends coach Eddie Faulkner will be re-united with Dave Doeren at North Carolina State after the Rose Bowl.
Faulkner was the running backs coach and special teams' coordinator under Doeren at Northern Illinois in 2011. Doeren, another former Badgers' assistant, recently became the new head coach at N-C State. Faulkner was a running back at Wisconsin from 1996-through-2000 – and he spent just one season as a U-W assistant.
At N-C State, he'll coach tight ends, fullbacks, and special teams. Doeren also hired Badgers' offensive coordinator Matt Canada after he spent only one year in Madison.
Six Badger assistants are now reported to be heading elsewhere.
A seventh assistant, running backs' coach Thomas Hammock, is reportedly considering an offer to join Bret Bielema at Arkansas – where Bielema went after leaving Madison 13 days ago.
