Living the dream: Co-owner Michael Halkias enjoys a brew with Cathy Hay and a Grand Prospect Hall bartender.
|
Don’t go chasing waterfalls: Water features tumble along the path leading to the drinking area at the beer garden.
|
Green day: The beer garden is filled with greenery.
|
They’ll make your träume come true!
|
The owners of iconic Park Slope reception center Grand Prospect Hall have added a luxuriant German beer garden to their sprawling events facility, and the proprietors say sipping pilsners on their patio is a religious experience.
|
The pair are opening the bar, dubbed the Brooklyn Bavarian Biergarten, in a lush yard filled with greenery and water fountains next to their legendary landmarked venue.
|
The owners say the garden was originally used as an outdoor drinking space when the hall first opened in the 1890s, and the theme is a nod to the German immigrants who frequented the venue at the time.
|
The Teutonic tavern, which officially opens its doors tonight, will offer a generous beer menu — including German imports Reissdorf, Krombacher, and Bitburger, plus local craft brews — as well as a fare from the fatherland that includes pretzels in both “soft” and “uber soft” varieties.
|
“The people were elated,” he said.
|
Most Brooklynites only visit the blinged-out banquet hall itself for special occasions, but the beer garden will be open six days a week all year long. Halkias says he has created an indoor area for when the weather turns appropriately alpine.
|
The is not the first hall-side venture the Halkiases have cooked up in recent years. The pair announced plans in 2011 to build an 11-story hotel in the venue’s parking lot, but angry neighbors fought back, and that particular dream remains unfulfilled.

A Wichita woman has been found innocent of possession of methamphetamine in connection with a 2007 incident in which prison officials found a baggie with residue in her purse while she was visiting an inmate.
|
The jury took just under two hours Tuesday to find Angie L. Jones, 24, innocent of one count of possession of methamphetamine.
|
Jones had been visiting her husband at Hutchinson Correctional Facility on March 31, 2007, when guards found a small plastic baggie tucked in a slot inside her purse.
|
Public defender Lee Timan said Jones' explanation has remained consistent throughout the case - she had borrowed the purse from a roommate in order to hold tokens for the vending machine in the visitation area, and was not aware the baggie was in the purse.
|
A lab technician from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation testified that the amount of meth residue in the bag was less than .01 grams.
|
"Under the law, possession requires some intent or knowledge," Timan said.
|
The matter was originally scheduled to proceed to a jury trial in March but was postponed because of Jones' pregnancy.

Earlier today, an image of what appeared to be a final Iron Man 3 poster being displayed outside a movie theater was posted to a tumblr blog.
|
The leak seems to have caught Marvel and Disney off guard, because an official link to the theatrical poster for Iron Man 3 has now been posted to the Iron Man Facebook page. The poster itself has been posted at Yahoo Movies.
|
The poster shows Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey, Jr.) in his new gold-and-red Iron Man armor, which appears to be burned off in places. Behind him can be seen other Iron Man suits, implying that Stark and Rhodey (played by Don Cheadle) will not be the only characters using such armor.
|
Other teaser posters and images for Iron Man 3 have been posted to the Iron Man Facebook page throughout February, including poster’s for Guy Pearce’s Aldrich Killian, Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Potts, and Ben Kingsley’s villain, the Mandarin.
|
The movie is scheduled to be released internationally on April 25, and on May 3 in the U.S. Instead of being directed by Jon Favreau, who directed the first two Iron Man movies, Iron Man 3 will be directed by Shane Black, known for directing Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

A simple test that assesses a person's ability to sit and rise from the floor has proven to be a very accurate predictor of mortality risk. The finding comes from a study, published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention, by a group of researchers in Brazil.
|
A total of 2002 adults aged 51 to 80 participated in the study. The researchers timed how long it took them to sit up and then rise from the floor without any help. The median follow-up period was 6.3 years from the baseline test.
|
They told the participants to try and sit up with the least amount of support that they believe necessary, and not worry about their speed. They scored the participants' ability to both sit and rise out of 5. For each time the participants used support from their hand, knee or other part of their body the researchers would subtract a point. A total composite score out of 10 was assigned to them which would determine which category or group they belonged to (C1, 0-3; C2, 3.5-5.5; C3, 6-7.5; and C4, 8-10).
|
A total of 159 people died (a 7.9% mortality rate) at the end of the study, with significantly more deaths occurring among people with low test scores. They found that the rates of mortality between the four groups differed by quite a great deal, even when controlled for gender, age and body mass index (BMI). Those belonging to group C1, which had the lowest score range, were 5-6 times at higher risk of death than those in group C4. This difference suggests that the sitting score is good predictor of all-cause mortality.
|
Participants with scores below 8 had mortality rates 2 to 5 times higher than those with scores ranging from 8-10. The authors noted: "a 1-point increment in the [sitting-rising] score was related to a 21% reduction in mortality."
|
"It is well known that aerobic fitness is strongly related to survival, but our study also shows that maintaining high levels of body flexibility, muscle strength, power-to-body weight ratio and co-ordination are not only good for performing daily activities but have a favourable influence on life expectancy."
|
"When compared to other approaches to functional testing, the sitting-rising test does not require specific equipment and is safe, easy to apply in a short time period (less than 2 minutes), and reliably scored. In our clinical practice, the test has been shown over the past ten years to be useful and practical for application to a large spectrum of populations, ranging from paediatric to geriatric."
|
Dr Araujo concluded that the test has great potential to become a quick appraisal of musculo-skeletal fitness among the middle-aged and elderly in a clinical setting.
|
In addition to this method, there are other ways of determining mortality risk, another study found that an accurate predictor of mortality risk in older people is measuring hip-waist ratio.
|
The sit and rise test could become an efficient tool to measure mortality risk in elders.

Catherine Deneuve born 'Catherine Dorléac' (French IPA: , born 22 October 1943) is a French actress. She gained recognition for her portrayal of aloof and mysterious beauties in films such as Repulsion (1965) and Belle de jour (1967). Deneuve was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in 1993 for her performances in Indochine; she also won César Awards for that film and The Last Metro (1980). Considered one of France's most successful actresses, she has also appeared in seven English-language films, most notably the 1983 cult classic The Hunger. In 2008, she appeared in her 100th film, Un conte de Noël.
|
Deneuve was born Catherine Fabienne Dorléac in Paris, as the third of four daughters to French stage and screen actor Maurice Dorléac and actress Renée Deneuve. Deneuve was raised Catholic. Her three sisters are actress Françoise Dorléac (who died in a car crash on 26 June 1967), Sylvie Dorléac and Danielle Dorléac.
|
Deneuve made her film debut with a small role in Les Collégiennes (1957). She subsequently appeared in films directed by Roger Vadim, such as Vice and Virtue (1963). The film that brought her to stardom was Jacques Demy's 1964 musical Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, which led to additional prominent roles in Roman Polanski's Repulsion (1965) and Luis Buñuel's Belle de Jour (1967). In the Polanski film, Deneuve first portrayed the character archetype for which she would be nicknamed the "ice maiden", an emotionally distant and mysterious woman; her work for Buñuel would be her most famous. Deneuve remained active in European films throughout the 1960s and 70s, but limited her appearances in American movies of the period to The April Fools (1969) and Hustle (1975). Her significant films at the time included the musical Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (1967) with her sister Françoise Dorléac and Tristana (1970) directed by Buñuel. She co-starred with a young Jodie Foster in Casotto (1977).

JACOB BUTTERFIELD’S stunning volley gave Derby’s bid to emerge from a dismal start to 2016 a big shot in the arm.
|
Midfielder Butterfield fired home his eighth goal of the season to set the Rams up for a second league win in four days.
|
After securing a first Championship triumph of the year at Brentford, Derby were looking to step up their promotion bid.
|
Butterfield’s strike in just the eighth minute lifted them to fifth spot and also boosted interim coach Darren Wassall’s hopes of keeping the job.
|
Blackburn could only half-clear a Cyrus Christie cross and the former Huddersfield star lashed home a left-foot volley from the edge of the box.
|
The lively Elliott Bennett snatched at a golden opportunity to level and Scott Carson was relieved to see Ben Marshall’s underhit lob land safely in his arms in a one-on-one with the Derby keeper.
|
Blackburn striker Danny Graham then muscled his way into a good position but scooped his shot over the bar.
|
Derby almost doubled the gap just before the break when Johnny Russell curled a shot just wide after a cheeky backheel from the overlapping Christie.
|
After the break, Rovers keeper Jason Steele pulled off a brilliant reflex save to deny Chris Martin.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray told a House committee Thursday that mortgage lenders would still not be safe if the bureau elects to grant a safe harbor provision to the upcoming Qualified Mortgage rule.
|
"The safe harbor versus rebuttable presumption is a mirage," Cordray said. "Even safe harbor isn't safe. You can always be sued for whether you meet the criteria or not to get into the safe harbor. It's a bit of a marketing concept there. The more important point is are we drawing bright lines? If someone were to say to me safe harbor or anything else, I would go with a safe harbor. But I don't think safe harbor is truly safe. And I think it oversimplifies the issue."
|
Rep. Michael Grimm, R-N.Y. then right away pressed Cordray on which he would choose: a safe harbor or rebuttable presumption. The director was forced to remind him the rule was still under development and would be finalized in January.
|
"I have not taken a position. I have discussed the issue," Cordray said.
|
Mortgage industry lobbyists have been pressing the bureau since it overtook QM rulemaking responsibility from the Federal Reserve last year to install "clear, bright lines" and a legal safe harbor that protects lenders from future homeowner suits during foreclosure.
|
A rebuttable presumption provision allows homeowners to introduce evidence in court challenging whether the lender correctly determined a borrower's ability to repay the loan before it was written. But a safe harbor allows a simple test for a judge to find if the mortgage met the QM rule, and frivolous suits could be dismissed early.
|
The Mortgage Bankers Association even showed the CFPB that attorney fees go up to an average $84,000 for a summary judgment from $26,000 if it's dismissed. The risk of this increased cost would be passed on to borrowers, they claim.
|
Some consumer advocacy groups previously said such suits are rare, and a safe harbor could clear lenders from risks down the road rule makers cannot anticipate now.
|
Cordray repeatedly said in the hearing Thursday that his goal on QM and upcoming rules for the mortgage market is to protect consumers but not cut off access to credit. Forcing courts to define areas left gray by regulators is not something he would permit.
|
"As a former attorney general in Ohio, gray areas of the law are not appreciated," Cordray said. "They're difficult for people trying to comply. If we write rules that are murky, they'll end up getting resolved in courts and it will take years and be very expensive. We are making real efforts to draw very bright lines."

Following speculation that Google could end up scrapping its Nexus range of devices, the technology giant’s head of the Nexus programme has confirmed that this isn’t the plan.
|
Speaking to ReadWrite, Dave Burke confirmed that his company is still “Invested in Nexus”, as opposed to scrapping the brand, and that something new and exciting is in the works.
|
There has been a rumour that Google has been planning on scrapping the brand for a while now, but this week saw that highlighted with the announcement of Android Silver.
|
The reason being that when the first batch of Android Silver phones are launched at some point in 2015, they will be made by third-party manufacturers and run on stock Android.
|
Up until now, this has what Google’s Nexus line-up has been all about: mobile devices based on Google’s stock Android version and not booted with custom user interfaces.
|
However, Burke failed to comment if Android Silver would in fact affect the Nexus brand, simply reiterating again that Google has no plans to scrap its popular Nexus brand.
|
And if Google was to stop making Nexus-based devices, it could have a detrimental effect on the company’s relationship with third-parties and the making of its Android software.
|
Burke told ReadWrite: “When we are working, there are sort of two outputs. We’re building a Nexus device and we’re building the open source code.

A bicyclist who died from her injuries after being struck by a box truck on the Lower East Side helped form a charity that combined two of her passions — fitness and feminism.
|
Kelly Hurley, 31, co-founded the Movemeant Foundation, which strives to empower women and girls through fitness, according to her LinkedIn page.
|
The avid cyclist's social media has many activism posts, including a picture of her at the Jan. 21 women's march in New York against President Trump in which she's holding a sign that reads, "Stay loud, stay nasty."
|
The SoulCycle manager died from her injuries Tuesday, nearly a week after a box truck slammed into her on First Ave. and Ninth St., police said.
|
Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson has taken aim at Sheffield Wednesday, claiming that the EFL should investigate the Owls over their financial conduct.
|
The Telegraph report that the Boro chief wants the EFL to look into Wednesday, Derby County and Aston Villa over alleged breaches of financial rules and the 61-year-old is said to have arranged a meeting of Championship clubs to discuss the matter a week on Wednesday.
|
Gibson is said to be angry that his side had to sell players in the summer to meet financial regulations, while other clubs have found ways to evade punishment.
|
Middlesbrough recouped £40million from the sales of Patrick Bamford, Ben Gibson and Adama Traore in the summer window.
|
Meanwhile, Derby sold their Pride Park Stadium to owner Mel Morris to balance the books and make a profit this season.
