LOUISVILLE -- New paint is going up on the walls as old wallpaper is coming down. The bar is surrounded by new flooring -- installed this week -- and plans for a two-level outdoor deck behind the restaurant are moving forward.
Call it the "renewal" of the Blue Parrot, a 94-year-old staple of the downtown Louisville dining scene that has fallen on hard times of late.
At least that's what general manager Paul Weissmann is calling the effort to keep the venerable Italian joint viable in a city where nothing less than a restaurant renaissance has taken place.
"I look at it as an effort to save the icon," Weissmann said late Wednesday morning as a few early lunch customers trickled into the restaurant at the corner of Pine and Main streets. "The last decade was a real down decade."
With exception of a year or two, the Blue Parrot has been operating in the red for the past 10 years or more -- a reference to its sour ledger sheet, not its hardy spaghetti sauce.
"They were very close to putting it on the market or closing it down a couple of years ago," said Weissmann, speaking of the Colacci family, five generations of which have run the Blue Parrot since it opened in 1919 to serve Louisville's predominantly Italian-American coal mining population.
More than just spaghetti
That would have been unthinkable just a generation or two ago, when families from all over would come to Louisville for Italian food.
"It used to be that people would come here to eat at Colacci's (a second restaurant the family opened on Main Street in the 1950s) or Blue Parrot and go to the one that didn't have the line," said Weissmann, a former Democratic state lawmaker who has worked behind the bar at the Blue Parrot for 25 years. "We realize the city is different than what it used to be -- people don't just come to Louisville to have spaghetti any more."
He said the restaurant's misfortune is only partly explained by the increased competition from the wave of new restaurants that have opened in the last five years along Main Street and the immensely popular outdoor patios that draw crowds to those eateries during the summer.
There were other problems as well.
Business in the Blue Parrot's 140-person banquet room, which opened in late 2001, was severely impacted by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the subsequent slowdown in the economy. Then the family was rattled by the deaths of Tony and Joe Colacci in 2006 and 2007, respectively, both sons of Blue Parrot founders Mike and Mary Colacci and long-time operators of the restaurant.
"That creates a difficult dynamic in the family," said Weissmann, who plans to slowly take over ownership of the restaurant from Joan Colacci Riggins.
Add to that changing demographics, the proliferation of restaurant choices in and around Louisville and the restaurant's own failure to respond to changing tastes and desires, and the relevance of the Blue Parrot came into question.
"We haven't done a great job of reaching out to the younger folks," Weissmann said.
Of late, the restaurant has made strides in that direction, adding more salads and gluten-free items to its menu, making its children's menu more kid-friendly, expanding its wine selection and making sure craft beers are ready to pour at the tap.
And doing all of that, Weissmann said, without abandoning what made the Blue Parrot great for nearly a century -- its hardy marinara sauce, its fresh meat from Larimer County, its fresh eggs from Erie, and its thick, one-of-a-kind noodles.
Mary Beth Bonacci's family was one of those that would make what she called the "pilgrimage" to Louisville from their home in Lakewood to dine Italian. She still eats at the Blue Parrot today.
"My grandfather lived in Walsenberg -- when he came to Denver, he knew where he wanted to go," she said.
Bonacci applauds the restaurant for paying attention to what today's diner wants and looks forward to sitting out under the stars with a Blue Parrot meal in front of her -- the restaurant's $25,000 outdoor deck could be ready to go by late summer.
"They're old school, they're a treasure," Bonacci said, lauding "their awesome sauce."
"You don't want them to become like the new restaurants," she said. "You want them to be the best of what they are, which is an old-school Italian spaghetti joint."
'Nothing happens overnight'
Judy Goodson, president of the Louisville Downtown Business Association, said the Blue Parrot should do all it can to capitalize on its longevity and historic status.
"The one thing the Blue Parrot has that no one else has is that they are the longest standing restaurant in downtown Louisville," she said. "I think one of the true treasures of downtown Louisville is the blending of the historical with the modern -- it's a selling point."
And that history can be preserved while making the aesthetic and menu changes that will draw in a new generation of diners, she said.
"The secret of success in any business is to keep up with the customers' changing needs," Goodson said.
Chuck Scarpella, enjoying a mid-day drink at Blue Parrot's bar on Wednesday, couldn't agree more.
"You gotta be competitive these days," he said.
Scarpella, 63, said he has been eating at the Blue Parrot for decades and even bussed tables at the restaurant in the 1960s. He's happy to see a facelift happening inside the restaurant along with the addition of outdoor seating behind the building.
"I think Paul has got some good ideas," he said. "But nothing happens overnight."

Absolutely want him!
Absolutely want him!
I'd buy one!
He's without a doubt in my top 3 most wanted Filmation characters.
With apologies to his fans, I have very little interest in this guy as a character. I don't remember him at all. In fact, I thought the idea of a Sea Hawk figure was really boring until this very moment.
I'm totally down with a Sea Hawk now. He's a freaking sci-fi pirate! How was there not a vintage MOTU pirate? Maybe Trap Jaw and others, but here we've got a rugged swashbuckler type that seems perfect. I think Bow worked out surprisingly well and Sea Hawk could possibly work out even better.
That's it. I'm not familiar with him, but you folks have converted me. The figure must continue to rock the ascot and I'm digging the way the tattered sleeves say that this guy's seen some danger.
all over this. Point in fact, after Shadow Weaver, this is my most desired Filmation Character.
I for sure want Sea Hawk he is one of my top wants.
Yes, I want Sea Hawk and now I'm sure we will get him.
It's all about being polished when it counts!
A Sea Hawk figure has been a long time coming. If ever there was a FILMATION character tailor-made for an action figure, it's Sea Hawk!

Give me Sea Hawk or give me death!!!
When they make him, I'll buy him. He's actually the only POP character I would ever buy.

He is in the new slide they showed at the panel...along with shadow weaver, lizard man and shokoti...I believe that means he's coming in the next few months (if that first slide they showed way back when the line stated is anything to go by on).
Top wants: 3 main Twiggets, Red Knight, Granita, Hunga the Harpy, Dylamug, Vultak, Enchantress, Kothos, General Tataran, Evil Seed (Filmation), Masque, Sybiline (pack-in Gorgon), Melaktha, Despara, toy Catra, Master Sebrian, Andros, Sorceress NA comic, Kex Queen, Lodar, Green trap Jaw, Pink tri-Klops, pale monkey feet Stratos, Orange Ram man, Pale Man e Faces
I want him, I want him, I want him!!!
He is a total must have for me!
1. Starburst She-ra (vintage toy variant)
2. Hunga the Harpy
3. Gold God Skeletor (movie skeletor)
4. 200X Evil-Lyn
5. Lady Slither
Yup. The Jack Sparrow of MOTU! I'll happily take this figure and pose him right next to Adora!
Bow needs some comp for Heroic Ladies Man of Etheria.
I looked at Snout Spout and his crotch piece and boots maybe the gloves as well, could be totally reused for Sea Hawk.
Count me in on Sea Hawk. I bet he will be sooner rather than later. It seems Mattel has been rather slow (reluctant?) at releasing any of the female Rebellion figures, aside from She-Ra/Adora. I don't really count the Star Sisters (although a giant step in the right direction). Maybe now that the new female buck is completed and Filmation rights secured this will change some later next year.
Snout Spout will be with She-Ra's friends and the Great Rebellion in my collection. Needs to be more males in the Rebellion anyhow.
Top wants: 3 main Twiggets, Red Knight, Granita, Hunga the Harpy, Dylamug, Vultak, Enchantress, Kothos, General Tataran, Evil Seed (Filmation), Masque, Sybiline (pack-in Gorgon), Melaktha, Despara, toy Catra, Master Sebrian, Andros, Sorceress NA comic, Kex Queen, Lodar, Green trap Jaw, Pink tri-Klops, pale monkey feet Stratos, Orange Ram man, Pale Man e Faces
I'm in for this one too! Great character. Actually, Matty showed him an other FILMATION characters in the slide they anounced they had obtained the rights... So, he mey be in sooner than later....

Definitely want a SeaHawk. Along with Huntara and Octavia, he's one of the most impressive Filmation characters.
*For the record, I don't really consider Weaver a Filmation character since she was in the WHOLE SERIES and all, though it's technically her designation*
I too would love to add Sea Hawk to my collection!
My filmation only top three are Shadow Weaver, Scorpia and Sea Hawk. If I could get those knocked out in one year, I'd be an even happier camper.
He would be a great character to add to the rebellion, they definitely need more males. His energy sword and shield would be so cool if they were translucent.
He's definitely in my top five Filmation characters.

Over the next couple weeks, the Rotoworld staff will look at some players whose arrows are pointing up for 2013. Fantasy risers, if you will. We'll break them down by division. The American League East was first. Now we turn to the American League Central.
Carlos Santana, C, IndiansSantana went pretty early in most fantasy drafts last spring after slugging 27 home runs as a 25-year-old catcher in 2011. But he failed to meet the hype in the first half of 2012 and will likely slip a little heading into the 2013 campaign because of it. But he shouldn't. Santana bounced back triumphantly from that slow first half, batting .281/.389/.498 with 13 home runs and 46 RBI over his final 74 games for the fourth-place Indians. He improved his strikeout rate this season, drew walks at a better clip, and saw more action behind the plate than he did in 2011. The Indians love him, are beginning to trust him, and seem likely to bat him cleanup in the majority of their games next year. Santana should reward that faith with excellent power production.
Mike Moustakas, 3B, RoyalsMoustakas is kind of the polar opposite of Santana in terms of the way their 2012 seasons unfolded. "Moose," as he's affectionately called by the daily inhabitants of Kauffman Stadium, got out to a roaring start in 2012, registering an .817 OPS, 15 home runs and 47 RBI over his first 79 games played. And then fatigue seemed to set in. The 24-year-old third baseman batted just .211/.261/.325 with five homers and 26 RBI in the second half, fanning 61 times while drawing only 16 walks. But there's reason for optimism considering it was his first full major league season and he can use the next three-plus months to prepare for the rigors of a full 162-game schedule. We'll be expecting a true breakout in 2013.
Vinnie Pestano, RP, IndiansIf the early hot stove rumblings are to be believed, the Indians are going to trade away some of their high-priced pieces this offseason in order to inject young talent into a starting rotation that badly needs new life. That organizational transitioning could include closer Chris Perez, who is going to be due over $6 million as a second-year arbitration-eligible player in 2013.Enter Pestano. The 27-year-old right-hander has racked up 160 strikeouts in 132 innings since the start of the 2011 season alongside a 2.45 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. He has a wicked slider and pairs it with a mid-90s heater to keep hitters off balance. Pestano has brushed off questions about potentially taking over the ninth-inning role in the past, but he'll be ready to roll if Perez is dealt. Cleveland might not win many games, but Pestano is capable of converting each of the save chances he's given.
Salvador Perez, C, RoyalsPerez got off to a late start in 2012 because he suffered a left lateral meniscus tear during a spring training game and was forced to undergo surgery. But the talented young backstop quickly made up for lost time once he returned.Perez debuted on June 22 against the Cardinals, homering and singling while racking up two RBI, then went on to hit .301/.328/.471 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI over 305 total plate appearances for third-place Kansas City. He would do well to draw more walks, but it's not like he strikes out a ton. And he doesn't turn 23 years old until next May. Perez is already a defensive maestro, and he might just be the next big thing at the catcher position. You'll want to buy his stock now before the rates shoot through the roof.
Trevor Plouffe, 3B, TwinsBecause of the spacious ballpark, the recent rash of crushing injuries, and the lack of overall offensive production, Minnesota has taken on the reputation of a sort of fantasy wasteland. Though only to people who aren't paying close enough attention. Plouffe, a former first-round pick of the Twins, tallied a whopping 24 home runs in 119 games this summer, finishing just behind the Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman on the big fly leaderboard at third base. That came with a brutal .301 on-base percentage and less-than-stellar plate discipline, but Plouffe is only 26 years old and had a .384 OBP in 220 plate appearances at Triple-A Rochester in 2011. Assuming another 20-homer season is on the way, Plouffe will make for a steal near the back end of the hot-corner draft pool for 2013.
Kelvin Herrera, RP, RoyalsOnly two players in major league history, according to the numbers kept by PITCHf/x, have thrown a fastball at a reading of 102 mph or greater. Reds fireballer Aroldis Chapman is one. The other is a setup man Kansas City.Herrera averaged 98.5 mph with his fastball in 2012, and used that exceptional velocity to record a fantastic 2.35 ERA across 84-plus innings. He complements his heater with an 86.9 mph changeup and will also feature a curveball and slider on occasion. If he can refine his command over the winter and work a little more on his offspeed deliveries, the 22-year-old right-hander should become a household name at some point in 2013. Herrera could nudge Greg Holland for ninth-inning duties by Opening Day.
Lorenzo Cain, OF, RoyalsIf this list hasn't already given it away, we're expecting the young-and-hungry Royals to finally take their big step forward next season. And Cain figures prominently into that prediction.The 26-year-old from Valdesta, Georgia was acquired from the Brewers in the Zack Greinke trade -- finalized December 19, 2010 -- and finally got a shot at regular playing time in 2012 after posting gaudy numbers at the Triple-A level in 2011. He has the kind of speed and power combination that gets fantasy owners salivating, having tallied seven homers and a double-digit steals total in just 61 major league games this year. If Cain plays a full 162-game schedule in 2013, the sky is the limit for his fantasy value. He will be leading off regularly in a Kansas City batting order that is rapidly improving.
Honorable Mentions
Ben Revere, OF, TwinsRevere started just 118 games for the Twins in 2012 but still managed to steal 40 bases. He's a wheels-only guy, but a good one.
Max Scherzer, SP, TigersScherzer has always been pretty good, but he was downright nasty this season. His 11.1 K/9 led all American League and National League starters.
Dayan Viciedo, OF, White Sox"The Tank" is only 23 years old, has great raw power, and plays in a home ballpark that caters well to his type of swing. He should reach the 30-homer plateau in 2013.
Joaquin Benoit, RP, TigersVeteran reliever Jose Valverde is going to be allowed to walk via free agency and Benoit seems like the best bet to take over at closer in Detroit. He fanned 84 batters in 71 innings this year.
Wil Myers, OF, RoyalsThe 21-year-old outfield prospect slugged 37 home runs and tallied 109 RBI between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha this season. He's ready for the next step.

Kim Kardashian went North for her baby's name, and will now hang a left for her new name.
By the way, I only needed three compasses and an atlas to figure that out.
According to E! News, Kardashian will change her name to Kim Kardashian West once she marries baby daddy Kanye West.
At her birthday celebration in Las Vegas last week, Kardashian told E! News she'll start going by "Kim Kardashian West" (not hyphenated — Kardashian will serve as a middle name).
The website said she answered the question like she was contemplating it for the first time, and just decided, "Yes, I will take his name."
And this lack of previous thought to a basic issue on her part surprises ... who?
This may bode well for West, as Kardashian didn't take her last husband Kris Humphries' name for branding reasons.
"I don't think she should take his name and be Kim Humphries ... She needs to be Kim Kardashian because she's worked so hard to get where she is," mom Kris Jenner told PopEater in 2011.
Kris Jenner — who took husband Bruce Jenner's name — must not have worked very hard to get where she was in 2011.

Kerry Washington's turn as host of "Saturday Night Live" this week gives that television institution something it hasn't seen much lately: a black woman onstage trying to make people laugh.
The show's diversity has become an issue, pushed to the forefront by comments from the two black male cast members.
No black women are among the 16 repertory or featured players currently on the show. While Eddie Murphy, Garrett Morris, Chris Rock, Tim Meadows, Tracy Morgan and current cast members Kenan Thompson and Jay Pharoah have been major "SNL" players, the 137 people who have been cast members since the show started on NBC in 1975 include four black women.
The most recent, and most prominent, was biracial Maya Rudolph, who left in 2007.
Founding producer Lorne Michaels, who is still the show's top executive and generally keeps the casting process mysterious, said he's well aware of the issue and is on the lookout for black women as potential cast members.
"It's not like it's not a priority for us," he said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday night. "It will happen. I'm sure it will happen."
Pharoah told the website The Grio recently that he hoped the show would have a black woman in its cast, and he had a suggestion: Darmirra Brunson.
"Why do I think she should be on the show?" he said. "Because she's black, first of all, and she's really talented. She's amazing. She needs to be on 'SNL.'"
It's not clear whether she was ever considered, although it's currently a moot point. Brunson is a cast member on Tyler Perry's show, "Love Thy Neighbor," on Oprah Winfrey's OWN network.
Thompson, who Michaels said is as good as anyone who's been on the show, blamed a lack of quality black comediennes. "It's just a tough part of the business, like in auditions," he told TV Guide. "They never find ones that are ready."
That didn't go over well in the comedy community, with several people coming forth with suggestions for Thompson. "It was kind of an unfortunate, unthinking thing to say," said Miriam Petty, a Northwestern University communications professor and expert on black popular culture.
Sketch comedy troupes like Second City, the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and the Groundlings are fertile ground for future cast members. Current players pass along recommendations, like when Tina Fey touted Amy Poehler. There are often specific needs: "SNL" was particularly seeking men this year because Jason Sudeikis, Fred Armisen and Bill Hader left the show, and Seth Meyers is soon to graduate to his own weeknight show.
Michaels said "SNL" is particularly interested in sketch comedy experience, a different skill than stand-up. He also wants to make sure that a new cast member has some seasoning and won't be overwhelmed by the pace and attention.
"You don't do anyone a favor if they're not ready," he said.
Two of the black women who were on the show — Danitra Vance and Yvonne Hudson — lasted only one season each during the 1980s, although Michaels said that wasn't necessarily an indication they weren't ready. The third black woman cast member, Ellen Cleghorne, was on from 1991 to 1995.
There has often been criticism through the years that late-night comedy in general is a boy's club, particularly a white boy's club (There aren't any Asians or Hispanics on the show either, male or female, though cast member Nasim Pedrad is Iranian-American).
Petty said she didn't think there was a conscious effort to be exclusionary on "Saturday Night Live." "But when most of the people in the boardroom (making casting decisions) are white men, that's going to happen," she said.
The show still is an important part of the culture, and misses something when there's a lack of diversity, she said. She cited political humor as something that would benefit from different perspectives.
Discussing the issue on Roland Martin's radio show recently, comic Kym Whitley wryly noted, "They do have sisters on there — they're just brothers playing sisters."
Not anymore. Both Thompson and Pharoah are balking now at performing in drag. They won't put on wigs, makeup or dresses to portray Oprah Winfrey or Whoopi Goldberg, for example.
Performing in drag has been a contentious issue among black comics, even as people like Perry and Flip Wilson portrayed signature female characters. Having men portray women frequently turns them into cartoonish or stereotypical characters, said Darnell Hunt, a sociology professor and director of the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies at UCLA.
"You are almost locked into certain types of portrayals of black women, if you have them at all," Hunt said.

WINNEBAGO — As he talked to his players after their biggest win to date, Winnebago head coach Mark Helm could hear the fans shouting out phrases like "There's a new king in town" and "We shocked the nation."
But it was the tears that welled up in Helm's eyes during that postgame speech that showed the true importance of the Indians' 26-20 win over Stillman Valley, which handed undefeated Winnebago the Big Northern Conference West Division title on Friday.
"That's just the DNA of these guys: It may not always be the prettiest, but they play with heart, they never quit, and they don't back down," Helm said after his first win over Stillman Valley in nine tries as Winnebago's coach. "When you invest so much time — and for these guys, so many years — in trying to beat somebody, it makes it a little more special."
But it wasn't at all easy. Stillman Valley fullback Zac Hare rumbled for 149 yards and halfback Tristan Elliott rushed for 134 yards, and the Cardinals led twice in the second half, including 20-13 early in the fourth quarter.
But this was the Indians' night. Michael Pate's 83-yard kickoff return midway through the fourth, and his 26-yard burst to the Cardinal-2 just over two minutes later set up back-to-back Sean Ward TD runs that boosted the Indians back in front.
The Cardinals had two chances to retake the lead late, but a Connor McNames' fumble on the Winnebago-30 with 1:15 left, and then Pate's game-ending sack of McNames on the Indians' 20 put a stop to the Stillman Valley (7-2, 4-2) rally.
"This one is going to sting. It's a big loss for us. These last two weeks have been brutal," said Hare, who rushed for over 130 yards in both of the Cardinals' back-to-back losses. "This one hurts, but maybe it could be a blessing. It's going to make us awfully hungry headed into the playoffs."
Stillman Valley hammered Winnebago 47-21 in Week 9 last year to keep the Indians from earning a piece of that BNC West title. But Winnebago (9-0) exacted revenge Friday night, led by Pate's triple-threat performance of 12 tackles, 90 rushing yards and 164 return yards, and Ward's 156-yard, three-touchdown night.
"We haven't beaten them in 17 years, and this one was for all those coaches, all those players who came so close before and just couldn't get it. We got it," Pate said. "They're relentless; Stillman Valley is never going to stop coming after you. But we equaled their intensity, and we never stopped, either."

Kim Kardashian has a video game that experts say will earn her hundreds of millions of dollars.
That sound you hear is the world's oceans boiling. It won't be long now ...
The 33-year-old "Keeping Up with the Kardashian" star -- who already makes obscene amounts of money from clothing, jewelry and makeup -- has her name on "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood," a mobile game created by Glu Mobile.
Citing industry trend analysts, Bloomberg News reports the game could make Kanye West's wife up to $200 million. The game already has top rated status in Apple's mobile App store.
"Obviously, Kim Kardashian's brand has driven people to download the game," game analyst Douglas Creutz told Bloomberg. "But at this point, the game has taken on a life of its own."
Why ... why ... WHY?
The New York Daily News reports that serious gamers have ripped Kardashian's game as vapid, for allowing cartoonish avatars to "live like Kim" while partying, shopping and posing for photos.
Forbes magazine estimates Kardashian made $28 million in the past year.
Only in America.

This lemon infused oil is outstanding…. we use it as a dipping oil with fresh bead and on our grilled vegetables. The lemon taste is noticeable but not overpowering. Highly recommend.

Matt Russell, the Denver Broncos' director of player personnel, was arrested for DUI Saturday night after allegedly hitting two cars in Summit County — one of them a Breckenridge police car.
According to Colorado State Patrol reports, Russell — who turned 40 on Friday — first ran into a car in Frisco. A few minutes later, he rear-ended a police car as he approached Breckenridge.
"I'm ashamed that I represented this region and the Broncos organization in the manner that I did," Russell said in a statement released by the Broncos Monday afternoon. "I take complete responsibility for my actions and will be fully accountable. Going forward, I will take steps to ensure this never happens again."
A Breckenridge police officer was injured in the collision with the police department SUV, said Trooper Nate Reid, a Colorado State Patrol spokesman.
Russell hit the police SUV about 7:24 p.m. Saturday near the intersection of Colorado 9 and Fairview Boulevard. The officer was taken to a local hospital, treated and released, Reid said. Further details on the injuries were not available.
Russell, who was driving a 2008 Toyota Tundra, was arrested and booked into Summit County Jail.
Reid said Russell is also accused of fleeing the scene of the earlier collision in Frisco.
Russell faces charges of driving under the influence, having an open container of alcohol in his car, careless driving resulting in injury and failure to display proof of insurance.
Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway promoted Russell to his current position in January 2012. Russell joined the Broncos as the team's college scouting director in 2009.
His position with the team could be at risk now given the seriousness of the charges. Russell will also be subject to the NFL's personal conduct policy, which could result in suspension and/or fine for off-the-field arrests.
"Our organization is extremely disappointed and concerned with the incident involving Matt Russell," the Broncos said in a statement. "We immediately expressed our disappointment to Matt, and he is fully aware of the seriousness of this situation. This type of behavior is unacceptable and very troubling."
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said publicly on many occasions the league's discipline policy applies to not only players, but also other team and league personnel.
There have been 39 arrests of NFL players since Jan. 1, 2013, according to a San Diego Union-Tribune database.
Russell spent Saturday night in jail in Breckenridge and posted bond on Sunday. The Colorado State Patrol is investigating the accidents.
After a standout career at the University of Colorado, Russell was drafted by Detroit in the fourth round of the 1997 draft. He was on the NFL's all-rookie team but had to retire in 2000 because of knee injures.

Known as the "Old Man Registration", these records come from the draft registration of older men that were collected for World War II.[1] All the men registered were born between 28 April 1877 and 16 February 1897 and were not already in the military. It was the fourth draft registration and was conducted on 27 April 1942. Two men, one from New Jersey and one from Massachusetts gave their place of birth as Paulstown. Records for eight states were destroyed and are incomplete for other states.

I think all this as a base for an essay would be pretty good for school...
I am offically the only one up at this point in time. Of course time is an inrelative thing...
In space, there is no time. There is no gravity.
The faster you go, the slower time gets.
It is not possible to build a time machine because the faster you go, the slower time gets.
A neutron star is a star that has a ton of gravity despite its' mass. It is kind of like a nitrogen bottle filled up to 50000psi.
when the bottle holds 3000psi.
A black hole tears time into shreds. A black hole is the end of everything.
The idea of a wormhole is that somehow you get to the singularity of a black hole without already spaghettifying and shredding into nothing. The idea is that time shifts instantly through a singularity and theorically you end up in a difference place.
Not even light can escape a black hole.
We have taken information and pushed it through a chamber specially filled with cesium gas. That information traveled 50 times the speed of light, partially negateing the theory of relativity.
The equation of relativity is e=mc², where e=energy
c=speed of light
This theory negates the possibility of traveling faster than the speed of light because by the time you reach that speed, all you will be is energy.
All this I found out from Stephen Hawking's shows on CBS and his book
"A Brief History of Time"
Another place I learned some of these facts is http://www.howstuffworks.com.
I have a ton more of facts about the preceding. I just thought I would share some.
BTW, this can also be found in the late night OT thread
Im pretty bored.
She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there
'Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you -
Shook me all night long
You shook me alll night long

Elton John & David Furnish Expect Second Child
Pop star icon Elton John and his partner David Furnish recently announced that they will become parents for the second time as a surrogate is expected to give birth to their child next year, the U.K. tabloid paper the Sun reports.
Sir Elton, 65, and Furnish, 50, used the same surrogate who gave birth to their son Zachary, now 23 months old.
The singer said he and his partner are "over the moon" about the addition to the family and a source close to the couple told the Sun that "Elton and David love this lady like a sister and they feel indebted to her for life. Naturally she has been well rewarded. But her identity will never be revealed."
The couple's son, who was born on Christmas Day 2010, will have turned two by the time the newborn arrives. The newspaper points out that Furnish has been preparing for the bundle of joy and the couple is also currently looking for an extra nanny.
A few months ago, Sir Elton told the media that he and his partner were ready for another kid and wanted their son to have a sibling.
"At what stage we don't know. But we definitely will. I don't want him to be an only child," Sir Elton said.
Back in 2009, Ukraine's minister for family affairs said the "Rocket Man" was not allowed to adopt a 14-month-old baby from the country because he is too old and because he is not traditionally married. John and his partner wanted to adopt an HIV-infected baby named Leo from a hospital for children who are HIV positive, according to the Associated Press.
"Foreign citizens who are single have no right to adopt children ... and the age difference between the adopter and the child cannot be more than 45 years," Ukraine's Family, Youth and Sports Minister, Yuriy Pavlenko said. "The law is the same for everybody: for a president, for a minister, for Elton John."

Within minutes of first meeting Gloria Owens, she will likely know your name, smile and grab your hands like an old friend.
Within minutes of first meeting Gloria Owens, she will likely know your name, smile and grab your hands like an old friend. In 11 years as the director of emergency services for Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas, she's made a lot of friends — those who know her say she is in her element around people. Owens herself admits that she loves the work she does because of the mission of Catholic Charities, the people she meets and works with and the challenge that work presents. "I get bored if I had to do the same thing over and over," she said. "You can't have the same day twice here." That made the transition, having barely begun on her last day Friday, a tough one, she said. "I really didn't want to leave it," Owens said, "but something told me it was time." Her husband, John Owens, said it's the reason her retirement gave him both peace of mind and some cause for concern. The drive from their home in Bonner Springs can be treacherous during winter weather and was something he was happy not have to worry about, but he said he was concerned that she might not be able to find the same kind of fulfillment in retirement. "She says this her ministry," he said of his wife's job. Alice Marcum, the case manager for the Leavenworth center of Catholic Charities who has worked with Owens for 10-1/2 years, said she doubted the staff had seen the last of Gloria, though they certainly won't see her every day. "We're sad, but we're happy for her," she said. The larger Catholic Charities organization provides a range of services to those in need. The Leavenworth center is designated as an emergency assistance site affiliate of the 21-county Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas, offering service ranging form tax help in the late winter and early spring to assistance with rent and utilities through all seasons. The center in Leavenworth also boasts a food pantry, clothing and coats and school supplies for area students, in addition to programs like landlord-tenant mediation. Since she began, Owens said the nature of the work the center's staff does on a day-to-day basis has somewhat changed. "We have more need," she said. "We have less resources." When Owens started, she said the center was affiliated with a facility providing transitional housing for the community's homeless and at the Eisenhower Veterans Affairs Medical Center campus. Neither are operating any longer. So Owens said the organization in that instance, and in others, has worked to "reframe and retrain" to continue to accommodate those new realities. "We're helping people with the immediate need, but we're also trying to help people to move forward," and become self-sufficient, she said. Marcum said the search is on for a new director at the Leavenworth center. She said the staff were both happy to see Owens be able to enjoy some time off, but added that she'll be leaving behind some big shoes to fill. "She loves people, she connects with people, she truly cares," she said. "She never fails to thank the staff. She's an awesome boss."

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Maryland field hockey head coach Missy Meharg announced the hiring of Joppe de Vries (pronounced YO-pa de-VREEZ) as the program's assistant coach and technical director Monday. De Vries comes to College Park with over a decade of experience, including serving as goalkeeping coach for the South African national teams in preparation for the London Olympics.
"Joppe is technically an outstanding choice to join our coaching staff," Meharg said. "He's had a variety of hands-on coaching experiences, both internationally at the Olympic level and the Dutch club system, which is the best club system in the world. We are really pleased with what he will bring to the University of Maryland. We welcome his wife and daughter as well and it will be a real honor to work with Joppe."
De Vries has taught physical education and marketing communications at the University of Amsterdam for the past eight years. Over the last 12 years, he worked with various club teams in the Netherlands, including coaching the Rotterdam Hockey Club and former Terrapin Berber Rischen. Terrapin greats Paula Infante and Boukje Vermeullen also played with the Rotterdam Hockey Club.
From 2010 through 2012, de Vries developed the goalkeepers of South Africa's senior men's and women's national teams, as well as the Under-18 and Under-21 teams.
"The whole mindset of the Americans and sport in general is really attractive to me," de Vries said. "Working closely with other coaches and seeing what they are doing is attractive as well. I would like to learn from all the other coaches at Maryland. What brings me here is the professionalism of the athletes and the program. Here in America, you do things 110 percent, and that's what I really like. It's an honor to be a part of this program, which has shown over many, many years it is one of the best programs in America."
De Vries earned his degree in 2000 from the University of Amsterdam in physical education with a specialization in sports marketing.
De Vries and his wife, Katrien Van Den Eijnde, have a young daughter, Saar.

Make Miso Soup Recipes
Tofu Miso Soup
Tofu miso soup is very soothing. My little munchkin caught a bad cold and I thought the simple, clear broth would help with her congestion. To make the soup, I started by preparing a kombu dashi (Japanese stock) with fresh ginger. To make the traditional non-vegetarian version, just add shavings of bonito flakes, or dried and fermented tuna.
Once the stock was ready, I seasoned it with white miso paste. No salt is necessary as the miso paste is already well seasoned. Miso soup can be served with cubed tofu and accompanied with other vegetables such as soybean sprouts, enoki and shiitake mushrooms or baby spinach.
Miso paste is a fermented rice and soybean combination. I chose white miso paste which is fermented for a few weeks as opposed to regular miso (several months). I find the flavor to be less salty with a subtle sweetness. Don't be frightened by the size of miso containers sold in markets. Miso paste stores well in the refrigerator and you can make other dishes with it such as Asian salad dressing, other soup broths and vegetarian gravy.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent developer Frictional Games wrote a splendid lengthy piece on 'How the player becomes the protagonist' in its spook-o-rama.
'Costumes: the Wearable Dialog' is a bit of an illustrated crash course in costume design. While its focus is on comics, the principles absolutely apply to video games too.
Inspired by the book Destroy All Movies: The Complete Guide To Punks On Film, Everything Is Terrible! produced a seventeen-minute, four-part compilation of 'punks' in movies--parts one, two, three and four. Movie punks are such strange and wonderful creatures, absurd caricatures of caricatures, that I find them delightful. As you well know, movie punks are not workplace-friendly so do not invite them to yours.
Do your part for society and make dolls--action figures, if you will--poseable so they can ride dinosaurs and do other things unbecoming of girls, lasses, women or ladies.
That's enough links for today. Do you like links? Of course you do. Did you already see these on Digg or Reddit or Clickit or Punchit or Rockit or Sockit? Good for you, sunshine.

So, I've been using the Windows 8 Release Preview since it came out, almost exclusively (except for work, since I'm obviously not going to rely on unfinished and untested software for that). I already knew I could get into Metro on my 11.6" ZenBook, but on my 24" desktop, things aren't looking as rosy. Here's an illustrated guide of the most pressing issues I run into, and five suggestions to address them. Instead of just complaining, let's get constructive.

Ronald Bloss Sr. loved the water. As soon as the weather warmed enough, he would tow his johnboat out to the Susquehanna River in Dauphin County, Pa., and get the motor running.
"Come April, my dad would leave to go to the river," said Bloss' only daughter, Tina Rohrbaugh.
So when Bloss died last week at age 78, his daughter remembered something her dad told her he wanted a few years back: to be carried to his funeral ceremony by boat.
On Wednesday, the pallbearers hoisted Bloss' casket aboard his johnboat, and Bloss took one final boat ride.
"That's what dad really wanted," Rohrbaugh said. "It was like him going fishing, going for that last ride."
Michael Gladfelter, owner of Diehl Funeral Home and Cremation Center Inc., said Wednesday marked a first for his funeral home, too. But he's done other unique services. His goal is to help families honor their loved ones.
For Bloss, who loved fishing and being on the water, "I thought this was perfect," Gladfelter said.
His only regret: "If I would have been able to find a place virtually overnight that would have made a banner that said 'Gone fishing,' that would have been really neat."

I was reading Facebook yesterday, and there was a picture of the Sign for the Burial Ground where my Grandparents (all 4 of them) are buried. A number of my aunts and uncles (Dad's side) are buried there.
My pictures, not from Facebook
Who posted that photo? The gentleman who currently lives is the house where my Dad's family lived.
Little did my friend Steve know, that my Grandparents were married in this same building, the Birmingham Friends Meeting in 1915.
This picture is from about 1915. My grandparents were married in this building June 17, 1915. I don't know, for sure, the date that Steve was at Birmingham, but I am guessing it was a couple of days ago, around the their 97th anniversary. (happy belated Anniversary)
Not only were they Married their, but the are also resting in the Cemetery just behind this building.
I send a link to my Find-A-Grave posting for my grandfather, as on his Find-A-Grave Memorial, there are links to my Aunts and Uncles who are buried in the same area of the cemetery and a link to where my dad is resting.
Henry Russell Worthington (1887 – 1956)
Good thing Steve is interested in Genealogy.
But why stop there, I have other family in the same Cemetery that Steve visited.
Birmingham-Lafayette Cemetery, West Chester, Pennsylvania
Who say's Social Media doesn't work. For me it works well, hope it doesn't overwhelm Steve.

Gearbox Software revealed at PAX plans to release the planned Mechromancer DLC for Borderlands 2 on October 16th, adding the promised 5th class to the RPG/shooter, reports Kotaku. It was recently announced that a season pass will provide access to four DLC packs for the game, and Gearbox tweets a follow-up clarifying that the Mechromancer pack is separate from this: "No, Season Pass does not include Mechromancer -- she'll be available separately for those that don't get her free with pre-order."

CRANBERRY TWP – Move over Jackie Evancho, another local talent is sweeping the nation with the help of a nationally-televised contest.
A dance group from Cranberry Township will appear Tuesday on an episode of America's Got Talent, which airs nationally on NBC. The 11 girls, aged in range from 11 to 18, all train at the Studio 19 dance complex in the township, although not all of them are from Butler County.
The show will air at 9 p.m. Tuesday.
The group, which performs an act very similar to the Cirque De Soleil show in Las Vegas, apparently impressed the panel of four judges enough during the show's taping that they get to move further in the contest, according to the team's coach.
The next phase of the show will take the group to Las Vegas. The winning act will receive $1 million as well as a headlining show on the Las Vegas strip.
The girls are led and trained by Tammy Croftcheck, a Cranberry Township resident, and Katie Watts, who lives in Mars.
Reached by phone recently, Croftcheck said it's been a whirlwind start to a year that's seen the girls go from Chicago to New York and now to Las Vegas.
The dance instructor said her troupe didn't even have to submit an audition video to the show producers. Rather, a talent scout for the show saw the group perform, which led to an in-person audition in front of American's Got Talent producers in Chicago in February.
That audition was enough to secure a spot for the dance team in New York, where they performed in front of 2,000 people and celebrity judges that include Howard Stern in April. That performance will air Tuesday night.
Croftcheck said it's been quite the hectic year so far for the team, as evidenced by the latest trip to New York.
"For a group of young kids given the opportunity to perform in New York City live in a theater with over 2,000 people, it was just overwhelming," she said. "One of my younger students, after they received a standing ovation, tear up on stage. It was overwhelming but exciting at the same time."
Croftcheck added that one of the judges, television personality Howie Mandel, lives in Las Vegas in regularly gets to see the professional Cirque de Soleil show. However, the dance team from Cranberry Township pulled it off "right on par" with the professionals, he said.
But that doesn't mean the path hasn't been without obstacles. Croftcheck said. The dance routine used to be several minutes long, but the coaches were forced to cut it down at the request of producers.
"We started the routine a while ago, but the America's Got Talent people told us it could only be 90 seconds," she said. "So we took it and wound it down to revamp several things. We worked on the shorter version quite a bit for Chicago, and we cleaned it up before New York."
Croftcheck currently isn't sure when the dance team will get the call to go to Las Vegas. In the meantime, the coach and her dancers will have even more time to perfect an act that's already brought them so far.

Brunch Week: Polenta Rancheros
The Menu: A big bowl of Polenta Rancheros and side salad with fresh corn and grated zucchini. What, exactly, is involved in Polenta Rancheros, you ask? Mostly, this dish is made of black beans simmered in a spiced tomato sauce, topped with a fluffy spoonful of polenta, which is all then topped with fresh guacamole. In short, a huge amount of awesomeness is involved! We could each have eaten about six bowls of this savory standout.
The Goods: Yes, Brunch Week is maybe our most favorite theme of all. Holy heck, every recipe we've made so far has been amazing. Congratulations to Connie, our lucky winner from yesterday's comments! Connie, send us an email with your full name and mailing address, and your copy of Vegan Brunch will be sent out asap! For today's copy of this too-good-to-be-true tome, tell us in the comments: What's your fantasy brunch dish? Yes, you have to pick just one, and of course it has to be vegan!

Yummm. Ideal brunch: Tofu scramble with roasted red peppers, mushrooms, onions and spinach. Served with freshly baked whole wheat toast and a side of guacamole.
And of course pomegranate champagne cocktails.

An "egg McVegan" with tofu egg, melted cheeze, hashbrown squares, vegan sausage, and tofu bacon crumbles in between two waffles with maple flavored Earth Balance. Go!
Oh, and a huge pile of fruit, already cut up, and pretty.

Anything with morel mushrooms! All year, I look forward to the day that I come home from mushroom hunting with a few of those suckers to fry up with my scrambled tofu or marinate and stuff into a pita pocket with cilantro hummus.

actually my ideal brunch would be something mexican, like the one in this post! mm now i'm hungry. thanks again for the giveaway!
- June 17, 2009 at 3:41 PM
Ah, my fantasy brunch dish is Mexican, too. I'd love a vegan pozole, freshmade tortillas, a big tropical fruit salad and some bloody Marias. Now, if I could just get my nana on board!
- June 17, 2009 at 3:53 PM
- hannah said...
well, the best thing about brunch is you get to drink mimosas.
other than that, i suppose i would like tofu scramble and a blueberry muffin.
- June 17, 2009 at 4:15 PM
Wow, this sounds so good. I would like to serve this for my Sunday Brunch.

Strawberry & (vegan, obviously) cream cheese stuffed french toast slathered in maple syrup and earth balance.
- June 17, 2009 at 4:31 PM
A nice big pecan cinnamon sticky bun...yum!
- June 17, 2009 at 4:41 PM
Dave's cajun caesar sandwich, which by the way is only slightly better than mine.
- June 17, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Does every vegan dish at Fellini's count as one dish?
- June 17, 2009 at 4:56 PM
- sKh said...
I agree with Hannah! Mimosa's are delish and only to be consumed with brunch.
As for my fantasmagorical brunch, I'd like some cinnamon rolls that are on-par and exact clones of Cinnabon's cinnamon rolls. Oh boy...I'm droolin' like Pavlov's dogs.
Thanks for a great giveaway!

My fantasy brunch would be something super, super sweet- like banana bread french toast with powdered sugar, fresh bananas and syrup drizzled on top. Yum!
- June 17, 2009 at 5:14 PM
- stephanie said...
my fantasy brunch would definitely be tempeh crab-cakes with garlic collards and sweet potato fries. oh, and I would totally need a cup of green tea with that!
- June 17, 2009 at 6:08 PM
Fantasy brunch?!?!!
My mouth is watering with thoughts of a savory "roadhouse hash" made up of seasoned tofu, chopped broccoli, carrots, new potatoes, scallions and black beans simmered in a vegan broth topped off with vegan parmesan served over maple wheat toast.
Accompanied by watermelon mimosas.

I'm a sucker for some good waffles with nice fresh strawberries and maple syrup!

Some sort of vegan recreation of one of IHOP's stuffed french toast, plus savory vegan sausages on the side, whatever is the freshes fruit you can find (to make me feel less guilty), and a big cup of hot Joe.
- June 17, 2009 at 6:36 PM
- Emma said...
Ideal bruch...? A veggie-heavy tofu scramble (broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, onions, tomatos, spinach, and asparagus) with a side of vegan french toast, topped with banana, strawberries, and blueberries. I'm drooling even thinking about this!
- June 17, 2009 at 7:04 PM
- propinecone said...
0 calorie cinnamon swirl bread french toast stuffed with 0 calorie vegan cream cheese & topped with mixed berries & 0 calorie struesel bits. on the side would be 0 calorie vegan sausage drizzled with 0 calorie maple syrup. a 0 calorie mug of super rich hot cocoa wouldn't hurt either. let's throw a 0 calorie hazelnut coffee vegan milkshake in there for good measure!
and to top it all of, this meal would be prepared for me by a cute boy who knows how to cook..

A frittata, with the base being a blend of crimini and shitake mushrooms, tofu, and spinach - mixed with fresh thyme and scallions, thinly sliced potatoes, nutritional yeast, the zest of one lemon, salt and pepper, and served with vegan parmesan.

Hash browns! Anything to do with hash browns! Oh, those crispy carbohydrates...
- June 17, 2009 at 8:39 PM
- kittee said...
oh fantasy food = fun.
how about an entire brunch made entirely of candy and rice crispies. ok, too hard to think about at this hour.
instead: upuma, mango lassis with the digs: coconut and cilantro chutney and pickle.
yes indeedy.
- June 17, 2009 at 8:44 PM

Hands down: a stack of fluffy vegan pancakes (perhaps Veganomicon's Blueberry Corn pancakes...or gingerbread pancakes...or just the classic old-fashioned kind), dripping with melted Earth Balance, smothered in maple syrup, and paired with a cold glass of soy milk. Yummy!
- June 17, 2009 at 8:47 PM
A savory buckwheat crepe with sauteed kale, sweet potatoa, and caramelized red onions on the inside. Let's throw on a shallot aioli on top.
It's a crepe inspired by my favorite Candle Cafe sandwich.
- June 17, 2009 at 8:55 PM
EDITED (because there's no 'a' at the end of sweet potato)

banana flax muffin (recipe from vegweb) with chocolate chips in it. yum.

waffles with fresh strawberries, tofu, broccoli, squash and potato scramble, and hot chocolate
- June 18, 2009 at 8:26 AM

i think my fantasy brunch dish would be the most delicious french toast ever. i believe i have come close, but there is nothing like an amazingly vanilla-y cinnamon-y french toast with delicious coffee, fresh fruit and MAYBE a bellini. but perhaps i am asking too much! Mmmm....

AND a vegan bloody mary, natch!
- June 18, 2009 at 10:14 AM
- Ssssonya said...
Had to re-do, because apparently I don't understand the concept of "just one." If I had to pick just one, I'm going to go with tofu scramble. Not a terribly original answer, but the dish is quite "customized" with toasted cumin seed, lots of nutritional yeast, tons of sauteed veggies... Droool.c
- June 18, 2009 at 10:15 AM

I had my fantasy brunch dish recently on a trip to Cleveland, at a little place called Lucky's Cafe: it's called the "Canoewreck," essentially curried tofu hash with potatoes, spinach, zucchini, and lots of other veggies, spices, and nutritional yeast. It was delicious!

Winter brunch: Butternut or acorn squash risotto cakes.
Spring brunch: I've had these omelets at a vegan place in NYC, somehow made from frozen grated tofu? I'd like it with asparagus, morels, and ramps, please.
Summer? I make a mean tofu quiche...
- June 18, 2009 at 10:20 AM

hmmm, hard to choose just one but i'd have to say some sort of mexian tofu scramble with avacados and beans...with some potato side dish..mmmm
- June 18, 2009 at 10:49 AM
- Abby said...
The genius of brunch means having several tasty elements make up your one dream dish.
As for mine: Mexican all the way. Thick, homemade corn tortillas piled high with marinated/grilled tofu, garlicky black beans, tofu sour cream, pico de gallo, spinach, thinly sliced radish and perfect avocado slices, with crispy roasted potatoes and smokin' hot sauce on the side.
And while I love me some brunch mimosas, I'd have to chase this dream dish down with a cold, sweet, refreshing tall glass of horchata.
- June 18, 2009 at 11:23 AM
A breakfast pizza with gravy sauce and tater tots, homemade 'sausages', onions, tofu scramble, and peppers on top with a glass of fresh orange pineapple juice and a sticky pecan roll for dessert.
- June 18, 2009 at 1:39 PM
- AntandAmy said...
oooh, I think it would have to be chilli and pepper spiced hashbrowns, fresh baked bread, heaps of hummous and delicious chutneys, some veg sausage, and fresh-squeezed juice... mmm...
- June 18, 2009 at 1:54 PM
Endless Belgian waffles that never get me full and never make me gain weight. A nice cup of coffee wouldn't hurt, either.

SPRINGFIELD — One state lawmaker wants to offer tax incentives to companies if they agree to take over abandoned state facilities.
Lee Enterprises newspapers' Springfield bureau reports (http://bit.ly/1aOrdgJ ) supporters of the legislation say it could help communities, while also keeping vacant facilities from turning into crumbling eyesores.
The bill would let a private investor get an income tax credit in exchange for refurbishing a former state facility. The incentives would only apply to state facilities that had at least 100 employees and were closed within the past two years.
State Sen. Gary Forby, a Benton Democrat, supports the bill. His district includes the state's super-max prison at Tamms, which closed earlier this year.
The bill passed in the state Senate, but hasn't been considered in the House.

So far, September has been kinda quiet. Except of course for the howling we can hear from folks trying to fill up their cars for an early leaf peeping tour at over $4.50 a gallon for gas (Still happy about that Land Rover's mileage?). There's a good reason why the prices are spiking right now. The suppliers are slowing their refining capacity for gasoline and ramping up their heating oil production to meet this winter's anticipated demand. It's their annual changeover kids!
Of course what that means to you and me is that we wait for gasoline to be made, sometimes for days. We end up sitting waiting for the product to become available. High demand, low supply….see what's happening here? It's not that they don't have the means to make it, it's that they aren't making enough of it. Tugs and barges are lined up like Carter era motorists waiting for their turn at the pump. It's not some evil plot, the changeover happens every year about this time. The difference is this year the prices are so freakin' high YOU noticed.
So hang in there kids, the prices will come down. Not as much as you'd like, but they will come down. So, in order to ease the blow I've posted some photos of my local hangout here in Bay Ridge Anchorage. I know, not much comfort there but I didn't tell you to buy that 12mpg SUV did I?
