Hi, just got the new list book and wondered what people thought. We all have "our" armies and have our own ideas re lists, the new list book has thrown up some interesting points, are these errors or new interpretations. One of the great things about HC is the flexiblity so this is not a critic. Just interested in what you all think re the points below.
1. Companion Cavalry has no wedge option ! Surely a mistake it was what they were famed for !
2. Hoplites as Elite phalanx ? Most of the Greek boys had their family held hostage to "encourage" them to fight. Maybe 1 unit at most the rest should be levy or maybe 5+ morale ?
3. Thracians as light infantry ? We have been using them as warbands with one or two hard units with rhompania, makes them quite weak.
Interested where the writers got these ideas from.
The republican Romans will be another topic

Okay all you Rem 870 slug hunters What have you found to be your guns favorite slug. We just put a new cantilever barrel and nikon 2-7x32 scope on my sons gun and tried to sight it in yesterday with hornaday sst's which were the slugs he has ran in the past through his rifled barrel and worked well. We could not get the thing to to group up at all once you would be high and left make an adj to where it shouldhave been and it would go some where way crazy finnally gave up brought home to check to see if scope was loose and clean barrel have'nt been back out. But know that guns are as fussy as women when it comes to slugs. Know a guy who did same thing yesterday with a new Browning Silver shot about 5 boxes through 3 different flavors(hornaday sst's, federals and winchester) of slugs was not able to get any grouping at all finally went got a box of Rem Accu tips with one adj after first shot grouped 4 holes you could have covered with a 50cent piece.
So again what is your favorite flavor?

The guys and I eat breakfast at Mosaic at least once a month. The food is always excellent, the service almost always good, and the beer cold. Most of us have been eating at the Mosaic for decades and will continue to for hopefully many more years. We appreciate the warm greetings we get from the owner and his family. The Mosaic is very much Tucson.
The guys and gals at Station 71 are top-notch and hardworking. It's postively astounding how hard they work and how committed they remain with very little thanks.
Keep up the good work!!!
This was my wife and my first evening out in Tucson and it DID NOT disappoint. Everything written above proved to be true: intimate, excellent service and a bargain. I LOVE, I mean LOVE mussels. Sitting at the bar, a GREAT glass of white, professional wait staff and a steaming, aromatic bowl of mussels was just what a stranger in a strange land required - home. The Rumrunner was also an experience worth revisiting with an excellent selection second to none. The Friday bar special made it all the more affordable. Go, you'l enjoy.
I can not think of a better Med place except an Egyptian joint in Santa Fe. Very generous portions (as it should always be in the mid-east) lovely flavor profiles and yes, the BEST falaffel in town, crunchy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside. AMAZING house-made potatoes. My only complaint would be that the desert cart is almost bare.
My wife and I ate our weight in gelato when we walked our way through Italy. This is the real stuff, held at the right temperature (a critical element in selling gelato) and the flavor profiles are spot on.
Hmmm. Could have been a wonderful experience but too much crammed into too little space. A little too aggressive selling wine and the aisles are a bit narrow. Variety is okay but not everything is of the best quality, i mean c'm if you're gonna sell truffle oil couldn't you have chosen a good one?
Meat department shines but all their pork has been brines but if you like spending money on salt water, go for it. BUT, too much of the meat is dry packed disallowing any real butchering or options with regard to fat - the main component of flavor in meat. They try but they just don't have the goods. Now that there is a REAL Whole Foods in town they will need to pick up their game.
There ARE independent butchers and fishmongers in town that put this place to shame.
Their produce is well waxed and geometrically piled but has very little variety. Where exactly do I find Escarole or Rapini?
Too bad one can not award half stars because it honestly only deserves two and a half from me.
This could have it all. For a lonely boy looking for chile with an 'e' this place comes so close. Just not bold enough with the what we New Mexicans need to wake up our old decrepit bodies on a cold winter's day. Having said that, it's still the BEST (and maybe ONLY) place for New Mexican food in town. Once you go, you'l never go back to that Sonoran sludge of too much of everything except flavor that's called Mexican food in Tucson. Yes, totally biased - and spoiled.
It gets all five stars because I can't think of a competitor. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly without over-reaching. Great selection of wild bird food and garden accoutrements for the feathery folk.
This is a placeholder, for stories that we've run already. Not that complicated.
How do you review a place that hasnt opened?
Wow! Can't believe I've been here this long and only just discovered this little gallery. Wonderful paintings and the prices are terriffic! You can fill a whole house with originals and not break the bank. I'm planning on going every month when the show changes.
Sad what has happened here. This was an excellent book store at Christmas but since then the chairs and many of the books are gone.
Okay- To start off I have been going to Sky Bar since it opened and until recently have always been treated to a friendly and comfortable environment.. The open dj./mic night has always been a good place for Local Artist to be herd. I have spent a lot of money in this establishment.. drinks, pizza, tips, etc.. a place to take friends.. always a good tipper. Always treated with respect. It wasn't until the night of 1-29-13 @ 6:30pm that i felt that i was unwelcome there by The Bartender Raul, and A women bartender that would not give me her name.. though she said she was the manager. . I am a regular customer, Sky bar is on my way home. The pizza, dollar coffee, and fresh ginger-ale make it the spot to stop before a long trip home after a day teaching dance classes and capoeira at Breakout studios near by. So I am there a lot.. never really say much just eat and enjoy my coffee. About a year ago, I decided it was best for me to give up drinking and although hard a first came to terms with the fact that I Am A Alcoholic. So when friends invite me out, I have a cup of coffee or a ginger-ale instead of a drink.. With signs on the door and over the bar stating that they sell dollar coffees and ginger-ale till 2am along with other non alcoholic drinks and food from Brooklyn across the way, have always thought i was as welcome as everyone drinking alcohol with me. When RAUL the bartender batted his eyes after the first time i ordered coffee and a ginger-ale I brushed it off as just a another bartender having a long night, so i tipped him more for the trouble of having to make me a drink that was harder than opening a beer. This was the first occasion that night, when i ordered a second coffee he ask if I was not sure if he could get me something else, assuming he was trying to serve me an alcoholic drink " a beer or something" I declined said I was fine with my coffee, tipped him again for his troubles, and went home after enjoying a slice. The night after my next class me and a couple friends as usual I stop in.. I order my usual drinks, a coffee and a ginger-ale, the bartender at the time a female states to me they raised the price on the ginger-ale to $2.00 from $1.25 telling me that they raised the price but the signs have not been changed. I paid it no mind and ordered a couple times and tipped but noticed an attitude from the bartender when I ordered a couple more drinks, this was on saturday 1-26-13 around 6:00pm. The next night I had classes would be Tuesday evening 1-29-13. around 7:00pm I walk into Sky bar greet friends, go across to Brooklyn's to order myself a slice and return in to get my usual drinks. Raul, the closest bartender near me saw me come in.. But instead of taking my order went to the female bartender working with him "the manager" and talked to her after looking at me. I then waited for him or her to help me at bar, for approximately 30 mins I wait.. I see friends of mine order.. get there drinks, people that walk in the bar after me get there drinks it was obvious they did not want to serve me my coffee and ginger-ale. They made eye contact several times but still no service.. when I saw that my pizza arrived from next door, I knew for sure they were purposely ignoring me. A friend of mine pointed at me to service me.. I take it they were too good of bartenders to stop what they were doing to serve me a simple cup of coffee and make me a non alcoholic drink. Too good to do there Jobs maybe? After seeing my slice of pizza arrived and that I was waiting longer than everyone else at the bar.. I decide I would have to go up in front of the register and ask them to serve me. No one asked for my help, I waited again with my wallet out in front of Raul And "The Manager". Raul acknowledged I was their but was busy doing writing something down and could not help me let alone look me directly in the eyes. "The Manager" walked up to me and gave my friend a drink in which he did not order and placed it on his tab after he left the bar and handed it to me.. I refused it and try to proceed with my order after her confusion. Being that 40 minutes had passed and my pizza was cold when she finally took my order I told her my situation and said I did not want to wait again.. Ordered seven drinks ,two ginger-ales and five coffees, when she herd my order she told me I would have to wait, helped three other patrons with there drinks then got back to me, the coffee in all three containers was out, so she smiled and apologized said I would have to wait a long time.. So I ordered five expressos instead of the coffees. By this time everyone that was with me at Sky bar noticed my treatment. After finally getting my drinks. I tipped the bar tender $11.00 for having to do something it was obvious to everyone around me that Both bartenders had a problem with. After finishing up a couple expressos and my pizza slice, I went up to the female bartender and asked for her name, she told me she did not give her name out.. So I asked her for the name of the other bartender that ignored me. She refused to tell me, Then threatened me saying that if I asked her anymore questions she would have me kicked out. So I asked her for the manager and she replied " I am the manager tonight," still refusing to give her name so I could complain about both of their service and my unequal unfair and unwarranted treatment. By two ungrateful bartenders to good to serve coffee to a regular paying customer that tips well always. You would think in the age of twitter and social media they would have the foresight to know that you can't get away with treating people unfairly so easily. You never know how the voice of one mistreated customer can have on a businesses reputation.. These things permanently reflect the business you represent. I can't really say for sure exactly why I was treated differently. But know i have never been anything but a good patron, customer to both Sky bar and Brooklyn pizza.. drinking alcohol or not. I enjoy the pizza, coffee, ginger-ale, hero's and atmosphere, so along with all the rest of my tips.. my 11.00 tip for tonight, i would like to apologize for RAUL the bartender And his female counter part "Ms. Manager" tonight. They put a bad mark on a really good place. I hope they treat every paying customer with respect.
This bar has it together! The bartenders are customer service oriented, they make the atmosphere a delight, they always serve promptly and the prices are VERY reasonable. It's tucked away and kinda hard to find but, once you do, like me you will return. Trust me, stop in and you will see why I love this bar!
Rating: Zero stars
I saw it New Years at the Viscount Hotel. The acting was funny, especially the Gypsy and the girl as the police officer. Otherwise, it felt disorganized, disorderly, unprofressional and was definitely overpriced. The sound equipment was so old and dangerous looking and shut down throughout the whole of act 1, which caused a lot of jokes to be missed, as the actors occasionally go through the crowd with mikes and interacted with us. A lady fell on the stage, and the whole backdrop feel over. The show started late, and the promise of all these after show activities never occurred, such as karaoke and magic. All in all, an ok night, but definitely not worth the price or time.
Grant Runs a great eatery, his happy hour can't be beat!!!!
I'd like to comment on the December 16, 2012 Sunday brunch, unfortunately, my fiancé and I never got to eat any. Mind you, on the preceding Friday we had lunch there and it was fine and other than the abysmal service at other lunch times, the food has also been good enough to entice us back. No more..
This morning, we decided to get breakfast out. We don't usually go for the bacon and eggs thing but today my fiancé wanted to throw healthy eating to the wind and get some. Her first thought was to just go to Cracker Barrel, which is reasonably close. In hindsight this would have been the best thing to do. Instead we decided to do Maynard's brunch.
I tried calling a number of times to determine their hours and to make a reservation but always got a message indicating that they were either "Handling another reservation or seating another guest and to please leave a message." So I left a message. The alternative was to go online and make a reservation. Their system actually takes one to Open Table. Since I use it often, and I never got a call from Maynard's, I logged on to Open Table. I actually wanted a morning time, but the first one available was 2 PM. So I made the reservation for 2 PM and we had a snack to hold us over while we waited.
It's a 40-minute drive for us so we headed out at 1:15. Arriving at Maynard's, heading east on Toole, we were presented with a roped off parking lot which left us stranded, because the stupid trolley construction has Toole blocked off to eastbound traffic. I had to turn around, while dodging westbound traffic and enter the parking lot from the wrong direction. This should have told me to forget the whole idea, but we persisted. Upon getting to the door we saw a hand lettered sign indicating that the place was closed to the public due to a private function. This deserved further investigation, since I had an email confirmation from Open Table for a 2 PM reservation, so we walked in anyway. A voice from behind us asked what we were doing so we said we were looking for the manager. The woman professed to be the manager, which is odd since their website says that one Frank Kobritz is the restaurant manager.
I told her that if in fact she was the manager, she wasn't very good at her job. She bristled at this fact and became defensive, telling us that, "The owner's daughter was getting married and the place was reserved for the wedding party." I congratulated the couple but restated my position that there was no indication 1) on the website, 2) on the telephone or 3) on Open Table that the place was closed to the public today and this was lousy management and a disservice to us.
At no time was there an apology or any attempt to make amends. A good manager would have offered some kind of compensation such as a free meal at a later time or across the street at Cup Congress today.
Love their steak and beans, and salads...never have enough room for dessert. Servers have been friendly. We enjoy walking around the trail dust town, and shop a bit...don't visit much anymore since moving to a rural area SE of Tucson...have to drive to Sonoita for a decent steak now :D
Nothing wrong with it being in Sahuarita...we need more sit down places to eat. I was thrilled to hear they were coming to Sahuarita. Hubby works at the PCC campus downtown and he and some of his instructers go to the original El Charros from time to time and he is always talking about it. I was a bit dissappointed, the tables were to close together. The food is so so...although I do like the original taco...they are made like I was taught to make the...beef patty and tortilla are fried together...they can keep their lettuce salad topping. I prefer shredded lettuce onions , tomatoes and cheese for my toppings..not a salad mixture with peas ans radishes. We have visited three times...I prefer Manuels local Mexican resturant. Sure would love to see and Italian or seafood eateries here in Sahuarita.

Breaking Auto Glass News Brought to you by ZIPglassNetwork Advertise your Auto Glass Shop and Recieve New Customers Today.
A Shelbyville auto glass factory is facing what may be the biggest fine in state history for office safety violations, state officers say. Pilkington North America faces $453,000 in proposed fines from the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration for an extensive listing of claimed violations, some of which are repeats of infractions discovered after the demise of a worker at the plant in 2010. An all-embracing inspection of the factory in March and April by state safety officers found the company exposed staff to uncovered moving machinery parts and live electrical elements, lacked railings to stop falls and badly stored flammables, with other Problems. This latest round of citations follows $125,000 in fines the agency provided to Pilkington less than a month ago. In all, the company faces more than $600,000 in fines. "It may be the highest quantity of penalties we've considered to one company in such a brief period of time," recounted Bob Dittmer, a speaker for the agency. One reason the penalties are so high is that inspectors found repeat violations similar to the ones that contributed to the end of Kelly Dean Caudill, 56, Connersville, a Pilkington upkeep mechanic who died at the factory in September 2010, IOSHA officers expounded. Caudill was repairing a conveyor that moves broken glass when a nearby air cylinder was turned on and crushed him. After looking into that situation, IOSHA cited Pilkington for failing to provide employees with locks to secure machinery from power sources during maintenance, failing to train and guage staff to make sure they were performing procedures properly, failing to protect employees from rotating parts or places where they may be trapped or crushed, and exposing employees to live electrical elements that should have been covered. The state issued $32,000 in suggested fines in November 2010. The company settled the citation for $15,000 and agreed to correct the Problems.

The General Demonstration Report—Capstone Program is a new option Candidates for Designation may choose to complete their demonstration of knowledge requirement for their MAI designation. Like the traditional requirement, the same skills and knowledge base are required to produce a complete demonstration appraisal report. However, this program was designed to offer an option that accelerates the completion of the report. Instead of selecting and compiling data on a property, participants are provided with a subject property and data to analyze and then write the report in a limited time span of approximately two months. Participants must attend two webinars and a 7-day classroom session where facilitators will be on hand to answer questions and offer guidance. On day 7 at noon, the full report is submitted for grading.
The program is designed to be completed in approximately two months; therefore, participants must realize they will need to commit a considerable amount of that time on analysis and writing tasks PRIOR to the classroom setting. One pre-class writing assignment (fundamental market analysis) is required before the 2nd Webinar. It is important that participants understand they will need to spend a minimum of 150-200 hours to successfully complete this program. And during the 7-day classroom session, participants should expect to work on their reports after the 7-hour days spent in the classroom. 10-12 hours a day that week will not be unusual.
No refunds or time extensions
Because of the nature of this program, NO REFUNDS or TIME EXTENSIONS will be granted.
Participant deliverables
- Submit pre-class assignment - Complete assignments end of each day to gauge progress - Finish all sections of the demonstration appraisal report by noon on 7th day
Timeframe to complete program & demo report
Subject property types: multifamily, office building
What Previous Participants Have to Say About the General Demonstration Report Capstone Program…
More than 80% of participants said they would highly recommend this alternative.

Safety Brian it's a fact modern families are shrinking and the cost of raising kids is in what used to be so more women are joining the workforce and families are waiting -- have kids.
Why is that is it because government regulations are driving up -- for making families more expensive than ever is it something else Dennis not a senior writer for the weekly standard.
And author of what to expect when no one's expecting.
America's coming demographic disaster Jonathan last sixteen -- and -- -- from the women out there who've had babies they've read those books what to expect when you're expecting and you're kind of taking a turn on that in the opposite direction.
What do you mean by your title.
So what we've seen in America over the last forty years is really plummeting of our fertility rate.
To be raised number of children at the average woman has -- right now about one point nine that's below the replacement level and we've been below replacement since the early 1970s.
-- you say forget the debt ceiling forget the fiscal cliff we have a demographic.
That demographic.

Accounting Conservatism and Firm Investment: Evidence from the Global Financial CrisisKarthik BalakrishnanUniversity of Pennsylvania - Accounting Department; University of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School Ross L. WattsMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Sloan School of Management Luo ZuoCornell University November 22, 2013 MIT Sloan Research Paper No. 4941-11 Abstract: This paper examines the effect of accounting conservatism on firm-level investment during the 2007-2008 global financial crisis. Using a differences-in-differences identification strategy, we find that firms with less conservative financial reporting experienced a sharper decline in investment activity following the onset of the crisis than firms with more conservative financial reporting, controlling for firm fixed effects and time-varying measures of investment opportunities. This relation is stronger for firms that are financially constrained, face greater external financing needs, or have higher information asymmetry. We do not obtain similar results for some placebo crisis, or following the negative demand shock to the economy caused by the events of September 11, 2001. In addition, we find that more conservative firms experienced lower declines in both debt raising activity and stock performance. In sum, these findings are consistent with our predictions that conservatism improves borrowing capacity and mitigates underinvestment.

Incase / THIS Visits: Peter Porras
Peter Porras isn't just bike fanatic, he's a man of the people. While he loves to ride, he gets excited watching other people ride. A couple of years ago he crashed hard and was hurt for eight months. To help rehabilitate himself he built a few small practice jumps in the empty lot behind his house. This quickly evolved into a dirt pump track involving the whole community. Now all the neighborhood kids are riding bikes and learning how to keep up the track, and more people are meeting and riding together every day.

Residents in Susquehanna County say they're glad to be alive after Thursday's storms. Many people are still without power and the Red Cross has set up a shelter in the area.Our Elyse Mickalonis spoke with some people who came very close to the storm and are recovering.
MONTROSE, P.A. -- "I watched it come right in front of me the whole nine yards and I couldn't make it home," said Gary Mekeel, Montrose resident.
Gary Mekeel was one of many people who narrowly escaped a dangerous storm Thursday afternoon in Susquehanna County.
"I couldn't believe it I've never seen anything like it before in my life. I was in awe of the scenario," said Mekeel.
What he witnessed was one of two EF1 tornados that touched down in the county. This one had speeds up to 90 miles per hour.
"It started raining as I was driving, I got a hold of our husband, we each had our daughters and I couldn't get up the dirt road, so he grabbed both of them and carried them both up to the house and saw that our little shed here was gone,' said Amanda Rozell, Montrose resident.
Evidence of this twister can be seen along Johnson Pond Road where trees are down and buildings are damaged.
"We're thankful the house wasn't gone,' said Rozell.
Neighbors along Johnson Pond Road say they don't have any power, that's because the trees behind me are on power lines. Workers tried all day to remove debris and restore power, but some say they were told that won't happen until early next week.
"They said Monday when we called that the guys that came through tonight were really hoping to have power," said Rozell.
Meanwhile the Red Cross set up shelter at the Harford Fire Station.
"We've been providing food, ice and water to people who come in and sent trucks around the area to deliver water and we've been announcing that we are here," said Ashley Starnes, Red Cross Readiness and Response Manager.
The Red Cross says they'll stick around until power has been restored.
Volunteers ask that people who need food, water or shelter stop by the Harford Fire Station or call (570) 434-2839.

See what Ruthie Torres had to say about Crave
I was really surprised at how GOOD it tasted. And, the build up of the energy was so leveled that I felt like I had my own natural energy pushing me through the day. With the 5-Hr drinks, I feel the adrenaline boost within a minute and then I'm off and running usually chattering like a chipmunk and shaking like a leaf (if I haven't ea...ten). I was able to do so much and never felt tired once. With the other drinks I am always able to tell when the exact moment is that the energy has worn off or when I'm about to run out of puff. I couldn't tell you when Crave was no longer working because there was no burn-out and I never felt that extreme exhaustion I feel with the other drinks wearing off. I was a normal tired when it was time for bed and I slept peacefully :) I sent my husband with one to work today to get his feedback and make sure it wasn't just me wanting this product to work! LOL. If he has the same experience I had, I will be purchasing more from you. -Ruthie <SEE MANY MANY MORE TESTIMONIALS>Donate To MoreCrave.com

Pittsburgh woman attacked by four teens says brutal beating was racially motivated
Ginger Slepski, who is white, says four black teens yelled slurs during the beating. The electrician and mother says she thinks the girls would have killed her if a man had not intervened.
I mean this is becoming a sort of assault. And not just on white people. first they attacked and devastated their own good people and now it seems they've set their eyes on the honky's. And Howard does need to ask Robin why her people are suddenly choosing to attack whites anywhere and everywhere without motivation.

"Pit Bull." There is no other breed of dog—or arguably, any other animal at all—whose mere mention can elicit such strong opinions. Try a word-associate game with your friends: Ask them what they think of when you say "Pit Bull." Chances are that by the numbers, their responses will be more negative than positive. And it's no wonder: No other type of dog is as widely banned from housing, legislated against, or incorrectly vilified by the media.
How did we get here?
Pit Bulls were once widely considered ideal family pets—affectionate, loyal and gentle with children. But in recent years, these dogs have suffered tremendously from a combination of overbreeding, bad publicity and irresponsible owners. In reality, the overwhelming majority of Pits and Pit mixes are sweet goofballs who have gotten a very bad rap.
Learn the truth.
National Pit Bull Awareness Day, on October 27, is a day of appreciation and education designed to change perceptions and stereotypes about Pit Bulls and their responsible owners. Please take a moment to learn the truth about these wonderful dogs and consider rescuing one of them from a shelter.
Are you a proud Pit Bull parent? Please participate in National Pit Bull Awareness Day, and help us dispel the myths about these dogs by leaving a comment below about your wonderful pooch.
I have totally disagree with "pits are sweet loving dogs". Three little girls have been mauled to death by the family pet- pit bulls. I had a horse have her hind leg tore up by a neigbors family pet -a pit bull. I had a 25 hour old foul killed by another neighbors family pet, a pit bull.All 5 pit bulls are now dead pits. People need to take responsibility for their animals, keep them penned, leashed or in the house.
All Pitties & Bullies are wonderful dogs, period. Domestic dogs, regardless of breed want to love and be loved, period. My Jake is a papered American Staffordshire Terrier and just celebrated his 11 birthday, I have had him since 7 weeks old. This dog has helped me through 2 divorces and a move to another state to start over. I have changed the minds of many people throughout the years on what they believe a "Pitt" is and I always will have one in my life. They are amazing dogs, period.
I am the proud momma of not only an AKC Canine Good Citizen, but my pitty is also a UKI Agility competitor!! She was a shelter dog that no one wanted and was afraid of her own shadow. She continually amazes me at the things she continues to accomplish and the fears she has overcome. Her former housemate was my 14 yr old pit who just passed away. Jasmine never met a person or animal she didn't like. When my cats were kittens, she would nurse and snuggle with them until they feel asleep. My girls may have had two totally different personalities, but they are both wonderful dogs and I can't imagine sharing my home with any other breed.
Early November 2010, I suffered a miscarriage. It drove me into a deep, dark depression. Eventually I was forced to quit my job and was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder. My husband and I decided since I was at home all day, this was a great time to adopt a dog who would need lots of patience, training, and attention. In February we adopted Tank from a local shelter. I had no experience with pits, or dogs in general, and because I lived so much of my life under a rock, I had no preconceived notions. I just knew he was sweet, playful, and bundles of happy energy! His happy energy got me out of bed. At least long enough to play and potty. He'd run back to bed and cuddle with me. He clearly sensed how much I hurt. It has been almost 2 years and Tank is now a well-behaved cuddle muffin. In response to National Miscarriage & Infant Loss day this week, I began to think about how Tank saved my life. We had learned that Tank was born the day we conceived. I need a traumatic event to get the help I needed. I needed Tank to help me through it. Funny how life works out just as you needed it.
I am a very proud pit bull mother! My pitbull is sincerely.my ix best friend. She absolutely loves everyone she meets. She, unfortunately , got attacked twice. once at about six months old and once. . at about two years old. Those fights made her feel apprehensive of other dogs, but other than that she is an. amazing dog and 100 percent loyal.
I've had many, many, rescued dogs as loving companions -- many I've personally picked up off the mean streets of New York City. They've been an odd assortment of mixed breeds and have all been wonderful, grateful, sweet pups (some I turned over to reliable shelters; others I kept). However, that said, I would not adopt a Pit Bull nor would I have rescued one from the street. I believe they've been overbred (like Springers and so many other unfortunate breeds) and in the case of Pits, bred to be potentially (latently, maybe) aggressive -- you can call it "protective" if you want. Don't forget, initially this breed was created as a fighting breed, and it seems to me that where there's smoke, there may be fire. I wouldn't take the chance. I also wouldn't have a Spaniel. On the other hand I am pleased to read about the many positive relationships most of you have and have had with these dogs, and I applaud you for loving them. Just not for me.
When I was a child my grandparents lived next to people who bred pitbulls for fighting. These neighbors even had weekly dog fights in their back yard! The evil people would starve, beat and even drug the poor pitt bulls to make they mean enough to fight. The poor pitt bulls would only be properly fed only after a fight. The rest of the week they would only get water. The dog owner would brag about how he only needed to feed pitt bulls once or twice a week and they would still fight good.
My grandparents were outraged. They hated living next to these neighbors and hearing the dog fights. Crazy people would crownd into the neighbors yard and watch the dog fights. My grandparents called the police many times and animal control. Finally after nearly a year the police arrested the neighbors. Sadly the dogs were put down. I was very upset! I told the police that the dog owners should be put down,not the poor dogs! The police officers agreeed with me!
I have a sweet,adorable lil Brindle Pit Mix. She is only foour (4) months old. I got her from a lady who kept her in a cage all day while she worked. I say put her in a cage. Anyways , "Cece" is sooo awesome. Not at all like the hype that surrounds this breed. I say that it is not the dog , But How they are raised and cared for. She loves sleeping in my bed at the foot. I REFUSE to use any sort of cage. Cece even plays with my elderly mother's cat without any problems at all. If I HAD to choose , I think I would choose a Pit mix.
I am very lucky to have been a mommy to a female pit bull for almost 13 years. Nala is a black and white pit bull who will turn 13 the day after Christmas. She has helped raise my 2 daughter. She is a big playfull, wiggle baby! She has slowed down after getting older but still loves to play. Last summer she was attacked by coyotes. She had 2 big brothers who saved her. She was in terrible condition. She had severe neck and leg injuries and they had torn a hole in her belly. Also one of her dew claws were ripped off leaving a bone sticking out. The vet said there had to be at least 2 or more attacking her. She is a walking miracle. The vet could not believe she actually survived and healed. Today she is a little slow and when the weather is cold she hurts. But age and injuries don't slow her down. She is a very wonderful special member of our family.
I have had boxers all my life. Last year I rescued an 8 week old pit mix - Biscuit...who was abused, starved, neglected and abandoned to die. She was basically a skeleton with fur and so full of worms and demodite mange...and had multiple hernias. We support a local rescue called Saving Sunny, Inc....but had never owned a pit bull before, or fostered a dog. I wanted to help somehow, so against even my husband's wishes I took her home. We were only going to "foster" her until she was spayed and we could find her a home, but SHE adopted US! She is the BEST dog I have ever had. So gentle, smart and wonderfully behaved in spite of not having any formal training. She LIVES to please us. Everything she does, she looks back at me as if to say, "is this ok, mom?". When she potties, she looks back at me...waiting for my smile and praise. Everywhere we go, she follows. She loves water, car -rides and her sister and brother boxers. She adores our three children, the neighborhood children and any other person who cares to pet her. I have heard her bark MAYBE five times....and it was because she wanted up on the bed....lol. We take her to the farmers market every weekend and she is quite the celebrity. She's a scardy-dog of chickens and geese, squirrels and rabbits. Her only flaw is that she likes to dig.....but we just watch her and tell her no...and she stops immediately. She is such a wonderful dog. I will probably never have another breed....and I most certainly will never purchase another animal. I will ONLY adopt.

this is the kind of cover that makes me want to pick up CITY paper! keep up the fresh, great work!
Does anyone from The City enjoy any form of entertainment from the mainstream? You guys may start turning people off with you über negative, highly critical (I obviously realize this is a film critique) and often times snide pieces of writing. I enjoy The City for the most part but sometimes some optimism and general happiness is necessary in the media.
Amazing review! I loved the movie and also saw the way bayona pulls attention to other extras showing that there are hundreds of other story out there! Grate review of a grate movie!
I agree completely with the review too... the film is a mess which misses the theatrical aspect... the soaring athems were all diluted and Javert the most complex character in the story just wasn't there. I was hugely disappointed
I agree completely with this review, and I suspect I was robbed by the theater I went to. In the version I saw, heads were chopped off or shown almost completely off camera and it was hugely distracting. I want to believe that it was not filmed this way, and that no diector in the world would shoot a soloists singing and only show their chin throughout most of the song! So I'm guessing that the guy in the projector room screwed up the ratio somehow? It was terrible and a great disapointment to me. Much prefer the Broadway version, here!
Very good review and I pretty much agree with your take on the movie. However, I actually thought that the final conversation with Paul Giamatti's character was the only part of the movie worth watching. Giamatti's performance was the only thing in the movie that actually intrigued me. I had never heard of this movie until a coworker at DISH recommended it to me. I saw that I could get it through my Blockbuster @Home account from DISH, and so I decided to rent it. I figured that even if I didn't like it I could just exchange it in the store for another movie, so I had nothing to lose. I actually lost over an hour of my time and quite a bit of respect for Cronenberg, so I can't recommend it.
Tarantino's gross disinterest in actual history turns me off.
The smugness I can take. The pretentious self-congratulatory film-making I can tolerate. But the utter indifference to the nuance of an era, let alone a reasonable sense of accuracy, just gives me a sad. After the Jews-machine-gunning-Hitler sequence that jumped Inglorious Basterds well over the shark...I'm not sure I'll even bother with Django.
Auf Wiedersehen pardner.
LIFE OF PI -- overrated.
I prefer nice young Jewish actors like Natalie Portman, Logan Lerman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mila Kunis, Andrew Garfield, etc.
I have to agree with the above comment. Where is Life of Pi? This was the best film of the year.
Why is there no mention of the remarkable "Life of Pi"? Talk about ambitious--this was a book that everyone said could never be adapted for film. "Life of Pi" is a rare breed: a technologically groundbreaking, visually breathtaking film with heart. It was not so much a film as an experience. But Mr. Grella would rather cite overstuffed costume-dramas like "Anna Karenina" , which, except for Jude Law's performance, are hollow at the core. Everyone I know who saw "Life of Pi" was moved to tears and said that, like the book, it was a life-changing experience that stayed with them for days. I have read Mr. Grella's reviews for years, and I get the feeling that he operates from the head and not the heart, and that actually being touched by a film is low on his list of criteria. But to be moved, to live vicariously, to cry, to feel something--isn't that exactly why we go to the movies?
Might be the worst, most pointless film review I have ever read. You do know that criticism should move beyond "I like" "this is good/bad" and babbling about whether fans of the source material (who cares what they think btw- these are films, not books) will legitimize the series, don't you? "Cinema's timeless trilogies"? What does that mean? Why talk of the LoTRings movies at all? Get a point of view ON THE FILM ITSELF and what it is trying to say and speak from there.
As one firmly in the original movie's demographic, I completely agree with the tone of the commenters. It was blatantly obvious that the first movie was pro-America/anti-Commie propaganda, even to one who was in their early teens at the time. Thinking that the current movie would be any less flag-waving is laughable at best. Of course the movie's going to be pro-America and anti-somebody. There's only 2 ways to go - terrorists or North Korea. Given the lack of effectiveness of any terrorist attack outside of the Middle East since the London and Madrid attacks, North Korea was it. (Did Mr. G review Team America? What was his opinion there?)
So, Mr. G... was the movie any good? There are plenty of movies out there with political leanings I don't agree with. Doesn't mean they're terrible. Your role as a reviewer is to tell us if the movie's good. If you have a political opinion about a movie, I'm sure your employer would be more than happy to give you some column inches to address the issue. You can even insert your opinion into the review without totally letting it take over the review.
Have to agree with both of the above posts. If Grella wants to write op-eds, put him there.
Maybe you should do a political column, so there's a shot for a movie critic here.
Is this a movie review or a leftist political attack?
Perhaps Mr. Grella should spare his readers his prescient historical observations about Republican racism and stick to the theatric. The 13th Amendment passed the House with 100% of Republicans in favor and only 23% of Democrats. The 14th Amendment, granting full rights of citizenship to freed slaves, passed the House and Senate without a single Democratic vote. For the next 100 years, it would be the Republican platform fighting for minority rights, not the Democrats.
In fact, Democratic President Woodrow Wilson ordered the firing of all Negro workers in the southern Navy shipyards and the re- segregation of the federal workforce, previously desegregated by Republican Teddy Roosevelt. Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt vetoed the only anti lynching legislation to pass Congress in 1934.
Sidling up to current rhetoric and pseudo-intellectually giving it historical context only serves to expose the folly of M r. Grella's history education. Perhaps he should consider reserving his reviews to the follies rather than espousing folly.
If you take it from the angle that we are watching from Pat's perspective (which I presume is somewhat deluded), does the film make more sense?
I saw the movie and I though thaf it was very great. the problem with most and this movie is Americans can't deal with truth. they wants fanticy. Spilberg did an master peace. This ois The US of A that we have problems with race stll and we need to deal with it. This is 2012 not 1963. tomorrow being 49 years from one of the worse days in the US history. 13th Amendment, The Presidents health Care plan. The rest of the world has not this race problem We need not also to ingage within this same lower life way.

Looking back on her season, Drake's Lauren Emge has no regrets — and why should she? Emge helped lead the team to an 8-0 record in MCAL play, captured its second league title in two years and made it to the North Coast Section semifinals.
"She used her strength to her advantage," Drake coach Peter Galli said. "Her playmaking ability forced her opponents to drop back on her," which created opportunities for her teammates, he added.
"Her dominant and unselfish play"... (made) for team victories."
As for Emge herself, being named the league's player of the year was just one more thing to celebrate.
"It was such an honor," she said. "I have been trying to get there since I was a freshman."
After she graduates from Drake, Emge won't be very far away. She's been recruited to play Division I water polo at UC Davis.
"I still don't feel like it's really happening," Emge said. "To know where I'm going"... it's unbelievable. UC Davis was my first choice."
Drake, which was seeded third, tore through its NCS opponents easily, with 21-4 and 15-6 wins over Encinal and Piedmont, respectively. The Pirates lost to Acalanes 8-4 in the semifinals, which went on to an 8-7 loss to D-II powerhouse Campolindo.
The Pirates finished 23-5, and their advancement beyond the second round was the best the team had accomplished in a while.
"I've been playing with most of these girls for four years," Emge said. "I know exactly what every girl is going to do every moment and it's just great."
When Emge began playing water polo as a freshman, she admitted she had no interest in playing beyond high school.
"Looking back and seeing "... I tried, I know that I can push myself and accomplish something (is special)," Emge said.

So today I took my first surfing lesson and then surfed for about 2 hours by myself. I started with a 9ft, instantly got up and rode the waves just fine, then tried I think it was an 8ft, same thing, can ride it just fine without falling off and getting up on the incoming waves. They weren't too big either but quiet good for beginners, rode quiet a few.
Now I am 5'10" and around 130pounds and I am doing good with either board. I was thinking on going for a 7'6". One thing I have in my head is, while riding the 8ft one I had to put my feet right at the back of the board without having them too far back that they are not on the board so I wouldn't fall forward. Now, on the 7'6" if I am as forward as I am on the 8ft board I am sure I am going to eat some dust and my board will go bad and hit me back. Do I just hold my feet a little bit in the air so the balance is more on the back and not the front?
Help would be appreciated.
Also, what type of board is better? Epoxy, fiberglass, etc?

Reviewed by Ariella Marcus
Several years ago, I engaged in a lively exchange with a group of graduating high school girls about using a Shabbos meal as a tool of Jewish outreach. Speaking candidly in front of her teacher and peers, one girl admitted, "I'd be afraid to have guests at my table that might ask a question I can't answer. I know what I believe and I know how to practice what I believe, but I'm not always sure why."
If Rabbi Abraham Twerski's The Shabbos Companion had been published at the time, I would have recommended she read it. While this two-volume set has nothing to do with kiruv/outreach, it nevertheless provides surprising answers to the why behind the what and how of Jewish practices vis-à-vis Shabbos. The intrinsically sublime nature of Shabbos is well-known; each Friday night when we sing Lecha Dodi, we reaffirm that Shabbos is makor habracha, the source of blessing. Understanding this uniquely sacred day gives us a framework to understand and cherish so many derivative facets of Jewish life.
It's no surprise, though, that The Shabbos Companion is well-written. Rabbi Twerski's writing career is legendary. Author of over fifty books, over thirty with ArtScroll, he is one of the most beloved writers in the Orthodox world today. A clinical psychiatrist and addictions specialist for over five decades, he long ago identified spiritual deficit disorder as the root cause of many of our modern societal ills. I once asked him in a radio interview how he'd written some seventeen books on the subject of self-esteem alone. With a smile in his voice, he said, "I didn't write seventeen books on self-esteem; I wrote one book seventeen different ways!"
One of Rabbi Twerski's distinguishing skills is his ability to fluidly shift gears from the academic dialect of psychology to the spiritual idiom of the soul. A descendant of a long and regal Chassidic dynasty, Rabbi Twerski is well-versed in the esoteric aspects of Judaism, as reflected in his book Lights Along the Way, a rich commentary on the Ramchal's Mesillas Yesharim/Path of the Just.
In The Shabbos Companion Vol. I & II, Rabbi Twerski dives deep into the psyche of the weekly Shabbos celebration, revealing hidden treasures in the customs, prayers, and zemiros/songs so many take for granted. The Shabbos Companion is both a primer and a refresher course in the oneg/delight of Shabbos observance. Volume One is a treatment of the Sabbath Eve while Volume Two examines the components of the Sabbath Day.
Both volumes are a pleasure to read. They follow the linear sequence of events that characterizes Shabbos observance, from the Mincha prayer on Friday afternoon, through Kabbalas Shabbos with kiddush, the evening meal (with its songs and Bircas HaMazon), and on through Shabbos Day with Shacharis and Mussaf, Kiddush Rabbah, the day meal, Mincha, Seudas Shilshis, Maariv, Havdalah, and Motzei Shabbos.
As Rabbi Twerski describes the traditions, laws, prayers, and songs of Shabbos, he intersperses fascinating Shabbos stories from yesteryear. At times I got lost in some of these moving tales about far-away Jews who labored so hard to preserve the Day of Rest. While anyone can find substance just by randomly opening to a page in either volume, this set is an excellent resource to systematically share with family and guests at one's Shabbos table. For example, rather than perfunctorily launching into one of the familiar Shabbos zemiros/songs between meal courses, the baal haseudah/host can bestow an expanded appreciation for the song by reading Rabbi Twerski's rich explanation of it. Employed this way, The Shabbos Companion offers nearly two years worth of insight to enhance the conversation during the Shabbos meals.
Now the caveat: A reviewer is compelled to express something negative about a book so as to proffer a slight chill of objectivity. Having already read (correction: browsed) many popular books on Shabbos, I was delighted that Rabbi Twerski's approach to this highly published subject was unique – so distinct, in fact, that the only thing negative I can say here is that I wanted more.
In introducing Vol. One Shabbos Eve, Rabbi Twerski relates a story of a chassidic rebbe who was enchanted by the holiday of Succos. "He said that whereas other mitzvos are fulfilled with only the body, Succos encompasses the entire body. 'You enter into this mitzvah [the succah] with your boots.' The led another rebbe to comment, 'Yes, but you must take the action to go into the succah. Shabbos is even greater, because you don't have to do anything. The kedushah [holiness] of Shabbos comes down upon you wherever you may be.'"
The Shabbos Companion reflects that encompassing embrace of Shabbos. Wherever a person may be in his/her Torah literacy and observance, these two well-crafted books will meet a person where s/he is, offering illumination of the mind and elevation of the spirit.
ArtScroll Shaar Press, $21.99/each, Hardcover

Seattle's Pony Time just wants to have fun -- LA punks the Bronx, and Dallas gospel-funk act the Relatives will melt faces. Plus: Rank/Xerox at El Rio!
TOFU AND WHISKEY This week? It's Pony Time. No, that doesn't mean we're taking you to Ikea for meatballs. I'm talking about the band, which will be traveling here soon, and given its predilection toward weird news and pop culture, I feel like it might enjoy the above reference.
Seattle's Pony Time (www.facebook.com/ponytime) has songs with titles like "Hex on You," "Lesbian Mayor" and simply, "Kathleen Hanna" (all of which are on recently released Per Se Records LP, Go Find Your Own). It also has cassette for sale called Pony Time Can Drink 100 Wine Coolers.
"We definitely try to be a good band and write cool songs," says drummer-singer Stacey Peck, the female half of the duo, "but we don't take ourselves very seriously. We just wanna shred and eat candy." And with that, Pony Time stole my heart. It'll have the opportunity to do the same for you, with a slot opening for Stickers and Creepers on Fri/8 at the Hemlock Tavern, 1131 Polk, SF; www.hemlocktavern.com.
The poppy, garage punk twosome, made up of Peck and singer-baritone guitarist Luke Beetham, has been making fun, cool-but-not-serious music since it first got together in the chilly Pacific Northwest back in 2009, around the time Peck left her former band, Telepathic Liberation Army. And fun is the optimal word here — every song on Go Find Your Own is hand-clap worthy, particularly album opener, "What if You Caught Me."
Most of the tracks are playful pokes at pop culture with broader reaching cultural references (such as the "Kathleen Hanna" song). The band says it takes musical inspiration from Fleetwood Mac, Sonic Youth, the Breeders, and Stickers. Though it is also claimed to be most interested in: Star Trek the Next Generation, LGBTQ rights, feminism, hair pomade, cats, and again, candy.
I asked Peck if Hanna has heard the song bearing her name, but Peck doubts it. The band did however recently get to play with another formative riot grrrl act, Team Dresch. "It was really fun, they are really cool people and continue to shred very hard," Peck says of the show with her personal heroes at Chop Suey in Seattle a few months back. Peck went on to pen an article for Vice about the experience, in which she opened with, "I was invited to play this show by my ex-girlfriend's new girlfriend for their new feminist organization (Nth Wave) as a benefit for marriage equality so it turns out I am one of the gayest people on earth."
I asked what the Hemlock crowd can expect during Pony Time's performance and Peck said, "Expect the drums to fall apart and Luke to look amazing." Cute.
Singer-songwriter (and former Geographer member) Kacey Johansing (www.kaceyjohansing.com) released her stunning sophomore album, Grand Ghosts, last week. And how grand it is. Lush, moody, and dreamy, too. There's a welcome maturity to Johansing's voice (oft favorably likened to that of Joni Mitchell), a confidence that glides over twinkling piano and subtle, far-away strings, in tracks such as album opener "River" and title track "Grand Ghosts."
Johansing's expert blend of classical, jazz, and folk influences comes together well on "Out to Sea," with the subtle sound of fingers moving over downbeat acoustic guitar meeting Johansing's melancholy, "I don't want you to go/but I want you to be true/what's best for me is not what's best for you." Even her harmonized "oh, oh, ohs," sound emotive here, giving the sweetness a little gut-punch.

Fisher, who heads the drivers' standings after two rounds, was 5.5s behind category leader Elfyn Evans when he picked up a front-right puncture on stage five of the high-speed gravel rally. But after stopping to change the tyre, a throttle problem prevented him from going any further.
"We went over a crest on a left-hander and there was a rock sitting in the road about five kilometres in," said Fisher. "We drove on but then the rubber started flailing so we stopped but then there was a problem with the throttle, there was no response and we couldn't carry on."
Fisher plans to return under Rally 2 regulations on Saturday but was unable to hide his frustration. "It's very, very disappointing, not good for the championship at all," he said.
The British driver's exit means Evans now leads the division by 38.1s with Brendan Reeves second and Timo van der Marel third.

Public Citizen to Philadelphia City Council: Commercial Advertising in Schools Undermines Education
The Philadelphia City Council should reject a proposal to allow advertising on Philadelphia school property and in schools, Public Citizen argued in testimony submitted to the City Council Committee on Rules for a hearing today.
Commercial advertising undermines the fundamental mission of schools to empower children to think independently and develop problem solving skills, said Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen. Children are already surrounded by near-constant advertising that promotes materialism. But the ubiquity of commercialism is not a reason for allowing school advertising it is a reason why children need a sanctuary where they can focus on learning, he added.
