Sandy Kaye, the producer of Police 5 and Crime Stoppers, has re-released on DVD her films about the Crime Museum - previously known as the Black Museum - at New Scotland Yard.
The disc, with commentary read by the familiar voice of Shaw Taylor, contains two 25 minute programmes detailing artefacts housed at the museum (details below).
Originally produced in 1990, the programmes give fascinating accounts of the various historic – sometimes grisly – items to be found. Supported by video and photographs the commentary gives background and context to the items mentioned.
From a BTPHG viewpoint the second disc relates two cases that have a railway aspect. The first features the murder of Minnie Bonati whose corpse was found in a trunk at London's Charing Cross Station left-luggage office. The second details the exploits and execution of Franz Muller the first railway murderer in Britain.
The museum is not open to the general public, so this video gives an insight into what is usually only available to police officers and invited guests.
The DVD can be purchased via the Museum of Crime website.
Disc contents:
Programme 1
Programme 2
Viv Head, Chairman of BTPHG, wrote to the new Chief Constable in waiting- On behalf of the BTP History Group may I offer my heartiest congratulations on the announcement of your appointment. Your career in the Force has been outstanding and it is richly deserved. Not only is it half a century since W.O. Gay was appointed CC after coming through the ranks but it is a unique achievement in todays more demanding environment. You may be assured that the History Group is very pleased, indeed proud, of your appointment and we look forward to a good working relationship.
Congratulations are due to the current Deputy Chief Constable, Paul Crowther, on the announcement today that he will be the next Chief Constable.
From a historical perspective, Paul will be the first Chief Constable to have served continuously with the BTP throughout his entire career since William Owen Gay was appointed in 1963.
The announcement on the BTP website was published shortly after midnight:
Having joined BTP in 1980, he is currently the ACPO national lead for the Metal Theft Task Force, for which he was recently appointed an OBE, as well as suicide prevention and CCTV.
Millie Banerjee continued: "I am delighted to have Paul Crowther as the Force's next Chief Constable; Paul has already demonstrated the necessary ambition for the development of the force and the ability to implement the Authority's strategy out to 2019. I look forward to working closely with Paul as the Authority and Force continue to make strides towards delivering an effective and efficient police Force."
Commenting on his appointment, Paul said: "BTP is a first class organisation and I am honoured to have been chosen to lead the Force. I am very much looking forward to the challenges ahead and working with exceptional officers and staff that make BTP the innovative and responsive policing service it is."
Chief Constable Andy Trotter said: "Paul has had an outstanding career in BTP so far and is an excellent choice to take over the leadership of the Force. He has considerable operational experience in crime, public order, and Area command. As my deputy he has demonstrated real grip on the operational and financial performance of the Force, playing a major role in the transformation of BTP into a highly effective and efficient organisation. He also personally led the successful national campaign against metal theft. Paul has the drive, energy, experience and intellect to lead the Force through the challenges ahead."
The announcement also appeared on the BTPA website.
As with any organisation today, it is the website that is its public face and often the means by which it may be judged. In a history group especially, it is important to have information that is easy to read, easy to find and meaningful. That this website continues to attract many visitors – 36,000 from 82 countries in 2013 and many compliments, is largely due to the dedication of Martin McKay who not only created the site but has been responsible for generating and arranging much of its content. I am pleased to congratulate Martin on his appointment as a BTP History Writer in recognition of this outstanding contribution. It is most certainly well deserved; thank you Martin.
Viv Head (Chairman BTPHG)
The 2014 edition of the BTPHG Year Book has just been published and circulated to members.
I think our Editor – Viv Head – may just have surpassed himself this year. It is certainly an excellent publication.
Of course, in order to get your copy you'll have to join the group!
Our 2014 AGM will be held on Monday 24th March in Birmingham at The Railway Public House (formerly The Bright House), Hill Street, commencing at 12.30 hours (3 minutes walk, behind New Street Station) (map).
This is the day before the NARBTPO AGM so people can attend both events if they want to. This is an important meeting in our calendar and we endeavour to make it a good social occasion too.
A buffet will be provided free of charge. All members are welcome but you do need to let Bill Rogerson know at least two weeks beforehand so that food can be ordered appropriately.
Members should receive a copy of the Year Book in the post before the AGM and copies of all relevant papers will be available on the day.
This is the one opportunity in the year when group members have the chance to meet up and chat historically, topically or just plain sociably.
Hope to see you there.
by Viv Head
Once again the Force is embracing a major change in its structure – from seven, already large Areas, to four enormous Divisions. Whether you think this decision is based on a money saving exercise or an attempt to improve efficiency is largely irrelevant in the context of the effect it has on the staff and the way the force is administered. It is a major step in the history of the force and recognising that history does not have to be old to be worth recording. BTPHG has embarked upon a major project to make a record of the force in its seven Area form. We are taking a census of the force. Much useful information can be gleaned from the latest Annual Report but there is so much more that can be done.
We would like to record details such as:
If you live near an existing BTP police post would you think about taking pictures of the outside and of any police vehicles there?
Please send photos of medium or high resolution to email@example.com .
This is a photo of the recently closed BTP police station at Cambridge that we were fortunate to secure. The building is about to be demolished if indeed it has not already been erased*. It would a shame if we did not do something to preserve such images as this. Think about all the thousands of men and women that passed through Tadworth over a period of more than fifty years, yet we are still trying to secure decent photos of the buildings and grounds.
Project Managers: John Owen & Ed Thompson
Updates will be published on the BTP Census project profile page.
Go to the BTPHG Projects page for details of other projects.
*CORRECTION: Thanks to a Comment from Paul Gray, we are pleased to report that Cambridge BTP office building is still open and operational. Unfortunately this is only a temporary situation as it is due for demolition within the next six months. The Officers will, however, be moved to new accommodation and BTP's presence at Cambridge will remain.
Discover Your History is an exciting new-look national magazine that takes a broad look at our past – including aspects of family and social history as well as Britain's local and national history and heritage.
The article, which is featured in the Society Spotlight section (Pages 30 – 31) is written by our very own Rob Davison, and a very good article it is too.
He gives an overview of the BTPHG, explaining our aims and achievements – and this website is featured prominently too!
Well done to Rob for raising the group's profile in this way.
The magazine is currently in newsagents – priced £4.99 – and for those so inclined it's even available for iPad & iPhone.
A BTPHG Project has come to fruition this month as after two years Ed Thompson has completed his BTP Constituent Forces Project. Congratulations to him on a job well done.
More details on the Website Updates page…..
As a postscript to our previous post – Tadworth – the beginning of the end?
Last month we received news that the main building at Tadworth was being demolished.
As confirmation of this Berkeley Homes have now advertised 'Sandlands Park' – as it will now be known - on their website. It will be 'a collection of thirteen, 2, 3, 4 & 5 bedroom detached homes which are situated in beautiful surroundings of mature trees and a secluded landscaped setting'. The show home is expected to be ready by Spring 2014.

Hey guys,
I'm 2 weeks into the challenge and I'm doing great with the meal plans, but I just can't seem to get into the Myoplex Shakes. I have the strawberry packets original (42g protein) and I've tried the chocolate and I have to force them down. They just seem too chalky for me. I've tried adding fruit or blend in ice or peanut butter, but I still can't mask the taste.
I love the other EAS products, especially their new line of Pro Science products (Armour and Creatine), but the shakes aren't doing it for me. I want to at least enjoy the taste while I'm going through this challenge. I was wondering if it's ok to use other protein brands. My gym sells Muscle Milk (original and Lite) and I LOVE the chocolate. It's lactose free and sugar free and tastes just like chocolate milk.
Should I just stick it out with the Myoplex? Would I be missing out on some other important nutrients that Muscle Milk doesn't offer? Or is the main thing just making sure I get the protein needed throughout the day?
Is there anyone else out there with the same problem and what are you taking now?
Thanks guys!
Chad B., Dallas, TX
Chad if you plan to enter the challenge officially it's ok as long as you have used one EAS product during the challenge. The only powder form of Myoplex Lite that I can tolerate is the Chocolate Fudge I, like you, can not stand the French Vanilla or Strawberry Cream. I much prefer all those flavors as RTDs (Ready-to-Drink Shakes) the taste is way better as far as I'm concerned.
Love you some you...PERSEVERE!
Thanks Sharon! I agree the RTD shakes are much more tolerable than the packets, especially when I'm just mixing them in my bottle. It gets all clumpy and hard to drink..haha! Maybe I should just buy the RTDs instead of the packets.
Thanks for the info!!
I drink the RTD's daily. Love them. Use the AdvantEDGE french vanilla for creamer for my coffee. I am a texture person. Can't stand sandy grit in my drinks. Personal phobia for me. RTD's rock!
Keep the faith!
Faithful Renee :0)
RTD's have made all the difference for me.... I used to use the packets and would have trouble getting the powder to dissolve...then, after you drink it, try leaving the thermos in your car on a warm day and see how you like that smell. Ugh! But chocolate is superior to the other flavors, for sure!
The RTD's are more expensive, I'm sure, but we found them at our BJ's Wholesale Club for a decent price. Not sure if that is true all over the country.
Am I surprised I truly enjoy my myoplex. Well only the chocolate. If you take the myoplex lite make sure you only put in 12oz of water that seems to make a big difference for me. I especially like that it is convenient only takes me 1 minute to prepare. I have a blender bottle so easy peasy is what I like.

IOC contributes to doping fight (From Blackpool Citizen)

IOC contributes to doping fight
8:52pm Saturday 14th December 2013 in National Sport News © Press Association 2014
The International Olympic Committee announced on Saturday it has provided 20 million US dollars (£12,280,000) to fund the fight against doping and match-fixing.
New president Thomas Bach revealed the figures following a four-day "brainstorming session" with the IOC executive board in Montreux, Switzerland.
Bach has moved quickly since he was elected in September to succeed Jacques Rogge and he revealed 10 million US dollars (£6,140,000) would be available to fund new research into anti-doping, with an emphasis on new techniques to detect prohibited substances and methods.
The IOC also "invited" governments represented in the World Anti-Doping Agency to match that amount.
The other 10 million US dollars was an increase in support "to protect clean athletes from any manipulation or related corruption" in reference to match-fixing and illegal betting.
The IOC will sign a memorandum of understanding early next year with the international police agency Interpol and set up a special monitoring programme - the "Integrity Betting Intelligence System" - to check for any irregularities at the Games.

Today an army of weezer peoples started their assault on Jacksonville, Florida, where The Carnival Fascination cruise liner will depart from tomorrow, for 4 days of rock craziness on the open seas and the beaches of the Bahamas. Bands, crew, staff, and a whole lot of fans have been preparing, practicing, packing, and making ready for this moment for months now, and finally its time to get this show, the second ever Weezer Cruise, on the road - er, the water.
Hopefully no one will be…

Today the weezer assemblage assembled in snowy, super cold Mississauga (or Brampton, depending on which GPS you use), a major suburb of Toronto, for a free weezer show hosted by Microsoft, to help launch their new store at the nearby Square One Shopping Centre. In a distinctly Canadian move, the show itself was put on at the Powerade Centre, a huge hockey complex full of local teams practicing, and the home of the CHL regional team, The Brampton Beast.
The kids fought their way…

Alternative Transportation
Loyola University Chicago seeks to provide efficient, convenient, and safe transportation options for students, staff and visitors. The urban setting of the Lake Shore and Water Tower Campuses provide a wealth of transit options including train, bus, bicycle, pedestrian, and car. While the University meets all parking requirements mandated by the City of Chicago, due to our urban location, there can be limited access to convenient parking locations.
Loyola encourages the reduction of single occupancy vehicle trips to campus through alternative transportation modes such as; public transit, Metra, Pace, and ride sharing. Additionally we encourage healthy commuting options like walking and bicycling. Increased use of alternative commuting options improves the quality of life on campus, strengthens our ties to our neighboring community, and reduces impacts on the environment.
Studies have shown that travel accounts for 30 to 50 percent of colleges' and universities' greenhouse gas emissions. And Loyola does well when compared with other universities.
- 400+ Lake Shore Campus employees live less than five miles from campus
- More than 75% of employees who live within one mile, regularly walk to work
- 26% of Lake Shore Campus employees use active transportation such as walking or biking to work
- Less than 5% of students with campus housing have cars
- U.S. News and World Report included Loyola on the 10 Least Car-friendly Universities list—at Loyola we like to think of the list as Top 10 Most Sustainable Transportation Options University!
- Future plans include Loyola CTA station renovation, installing electric and hybrid recharging stations on campus, and educational programming to promote safe and pleasant bicycling and walking commutes!
Current Sustainable Transportation Options
On this page you will find brief descriptions of Loyola's transportation options.
Public Transportation
Students: The Chicao Transit Authority (CTA) U-Pass allows Loyola students to conveniently commute around the city via the CTA at a discounted rate. During the 2008–2009 academic year, Loyola students took 2 million rides using U-Pass.
Staff and Faculty: Loyola employees are encouraged to make pre-tax contributions to their CTA travel cards or to purchase an RTA voucher to travel on public transportation trains and buses. Each month, the employee's pre-tax amount is deducted through payroll and automatically added to their Chicago Card Plus, Chicago Card, and/or CTA Card. The RTA voucher may be used to purchase Metra fare media, including monthly passes, weekly passes, 10-ride passes, and Pace link-ups.
Bike Loyola and Bike Chicago is a theme that resonates with ChainLinks, the on-campus, student-run bike rental and repair shop. ChainLinks, launched in August of 2011 is one of the enterprises that make up Loyola Limited.
Loyola's two lake shore campuses are conveniently located along multiple bike routes. Protected bike cages and bike racks on both lakeshore campuses make city biking a popular, easy, and safe option for students.
With over 50% of students living less than one mile from campus, biking is a popular choice. We have some popular bike routes and nearby locations to visit.
Workshops such as Pedal Around are offered to students, staff and faculty that discuss safe and smart cycling in urban settings. Bringing in partners such as the Chicago Bike Ambassadors to integrate hands-on safety demonstrations and techniques plus bicycle route planning to the workshops gives attendees confidence and knowledge for best riding practices.
Car Sharing
Loyola has a partnership with Chicago's non-profit car-sharing organization, I-GO. A great affordable transportation option that convenient, accessible parking spots at both the Water Tower and Lake Shore campuses.
Loyola's discounted annual enrollment fee is $25—a significant savings to Loyola employees and students.
ZipCar is another option for car-sharing, with cars located very close to Lake Shore and Water Tower Campuses.
Car-sharing provides individuals and organizations with automated, self-service, 24-hour access to a decentralized fleet of vehicles. Rates include gas, insurance, cleaning, and maintenance. A rental car can be reserved online at a moment's notice.
Campus Shuttles
At Loyola, all students, faculty, and staff are eligible to ride the inter-campus shuttle. The shuttle operates Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 12:30 a.m., during the academic year when school is in session. On average, 3,000 riders use this mode of transportation on any given day.
Loyola's Biodiesel Program powers these shuttle busses between the Lake Shore and Water Tower campuses.
The 8-RIDE service is the University's safe-ride program. 8-RIDE is responsible for getting students, faculty, and staff who live within a 1.5-mile radius of the Lake Shore Campus to their homes, both quickly and safely. The University runs four to six vans on any given night, providing an average of 325 rides per night. The hours of operation when school is in session are Monday through Sunday starting at 6:30 p.m and the last call is taken at 2:15 a.m.
Our neighborhoods offer plenty of safe, accessible sidewalks for everyone to enjoy. During the summer of 2012, Human Resources sponsored a University Walking Challenge. Loyola employees logged a total of 50,600 miles over the course of 10 weeks. We hgihlighted several walking routes on and around each campus, with measured distances of short, medium and long routes. The maps are for Lake Shore Campus neighborhood and Water Tower Campus neighborhood.

Very Cute! I found this basket in clearance - of all things! After looking at different styles, prices, etc. - I was going to make one for the wedding. Then I saw this one. I love that it is all white - that I can customize it at a later time with a bow that is my wedding color. So glad I found it! June 8, 2012

At this point, back-to-school is getting a little tiresome. Here are some ideas to spice up your first volunteer gathering (i.e. Do Something Club [1] meeting).
Car washes are okay. Car washes in one-shoulder sweatshirts and neon headbands are...well...at least you'll be laughing a lot.
For dances or fundraising parties, togas are always a fun play. Provide gummi-worms as "Medusa's hair" and (if budget allows) a Dunk Tank that send you down to Hades.
Hunger Games
Can a fitness activity get any more high-stakes? Using paintballs (or some other non-lethal way of tagging opponents), pit people from different "districts" against each other.
Before you put clothes in the donation bin, host a fashion show displaying the awesome donations.
Blood drives can be a lot more exciting with the un-dead present. Check out the full guide on how to run a zombie-themed blood drive.

Teen has first book published
Eva Rayne Deel at 18 years of age has already written more than most people do in a lifetime. Deel, who is an avid writer as well as reader, has just had her first novel published. Entitled "Bittersweet," Eva began writing the book while in middle school, and finished it earlier this year.
Eva described her first book — a work of fiction — a story of a young girl and her experiences of growing up. "It's about how relationships change as you get older, misunderstandings and the usual things a young person might encounter as she grows up," she said this week while on a visit to Northeast Tennessee to see her grandparents, Ray and Joe Heaton.
Eva lives in Tecumseh, Mich., where she graduated high school just a few days ago.
"I've always written, and I've always wanted to write a book and be published. I can't ever remember a time I didn't write," noting that she has an internet blog and off and on has kept a journal. She also wrote for her school newspaper in Tecumseh, and when living in Independence, Mo., wrote a monthly column for the city paper. Eva has also had articles published in the Tecumseh Herald and this past year was recognized by the Tecumseh Education Association for her writing.
The book "Bittersweet" is about the character, Ellie, who has finally graduated from high school. Feeling invincible she and her best friend, Bridget, decide to spend the summer before college several states away with a close childhood friend. During the summer amidst movie nights and lots of coffee, Allie soon learns what and who is important in life and who she hopes to become. The book currently is only available through Amazon and Kindle. However, she hopes to soon make it available to bookstores and libraries.
Her dream is to be an overseas correspondent and be a career writer. She is already working on a second book. "This one is more of a science fiction book," Eva said, noting she is an avid reader of Annette Curtic Klause's books. She also enjoys works by Norman Mailer.
Eva plans to begin college in the fall at the University of Central Missouri.
Eva writes under the pen name of Eva Rayne. For the next several days she and her mother and brother are visiting in Elizabethton with her grandparents.

Business Plan CompetitionOctober 2010
by Calvin Chin
Are You An Entrepreneur? Redeemer attracts creative people who want to start new things: church pastors who want to start new churches, social entrepreneurs who want to start new non-profits, educators who want to start new schools and business entrepreneurs who want to create new ventures. Learn how to build these ventures with the gospel at their core; join Redeemer's Entrepreneurship Initiative.
To show how serious we are about encouraging our entrepreneurs to develop organizations that embody the gospel and respond to the opportunity to serve and renew the city (and world), we started a program to "incubate" new ventures and contribute to their success. It's the annual Ei Business Plan Competition. This competition is open to you, if: 1) you have recently started a new venture, 2) you are about to launch a business, or 3) you have a brilliant business idea you'd like to move forward.
Winners will be selected in three categories: arts, for-profit, and not-for-profit ventures. Winning moves them into our New Venture Incubator—a one year period of mentoring and coaching and some early stage funding. Some examples: The 2010 winner, 100Cameras, is an arts venture that uses photography training and photo exhibits to raise awareness and funds to fight injustice against children. Similarly, our 2009 winner, Tegu, is a for-profit venture that focuses on making and selling high quality wooden toys while providing jobs in a very poor area of Honduras. The 2008 winner, Restore, a not-for-profit and HFNY affiliate, provides transition services for local victims of sex trafficking. Winning entrepreneurs receive a small financial award (via grant or direct investment) and one year of theological and strategic coaching from staff as well as volunteers in the congregation.
Ei holds the competition to help the Redeemer community develop gospel-centered organizations to serve and improve our city. It launches on October 3. To learn about the Information Work-shops, Competition process and past winners, please visit www. faithandwork.org/competition. Continue to frequently check our website for more details on workshops, submission requirements, and deadlines. Should you have additional questions, please email us at email@example.com.
Redeemer's Entrepreneurship Initiative provides support through a monthly fellowship, workshops, an annual Forum, mentoring relationships, and Business Plan Competition.

From Peace Corps Wiki
<addhtml>Given any two quantities the program will estimate the rest:
a: Annual ET rate (current method used by Peace Corps) The number of PCVs/Ts who separated from the Peace Corps during the fiscal year divided by the total number of trainees and volunteers who served at any time during the fiscal year. (Ref.) [FY2009 Actual Value: 10.0% (Ref.)]
c: The average number of currently serving volunteers and trainees at any moment in time. [FY2009 Estimated Value: 7,596]
e: The number of volunteers and trainees that Early Terminated within the year under study. [FY2009 Actual value: 1,155 (Ref.)]
n: The number of volunteers and trainees that served any portion of the year under study [FY2009 Actual Value: 11,549 (Ref.)]
p: Cohort ET rate ("Out of 100") This method addresses the question: "If X number of people enter Peace Corps service during a given time period, how many do not complete their service?" Equivalent to the probability of a randomly selected volunteer Early Terminating sometime within their service. [FY2009 Estimated Value: 29.2% (Ref.)]
r: Number of volunteers who entered service in the year under study [FY2009 Estimated Value: 3,953]
v: V-Year Method of ET Rate. The number of ET's by an average volunteer during one year of service. Since most volunteers successfully complete their service, which is longer than one year, this number would be a "fraction of an ET". If the V-Year ET Rate was 0.20 (per year) we would expect about 2 volunteers out of 10 to ET per year, or about 1 volunteer out of 10 in a six-month period. (Ref.) [FY2009 Estimated Value: 0.152]
L: Average length of service among all volunteers (in months) [FY2009 Estimated Value: 22.1 months]

Jacqueline Kennedy had many sets of pearls, and all of them were faux pearls.
Surprisingly, she did not own any strands of precious pearls in her entire collection. This necklace was inherited from her mother and is believed to have been strung between 1914 and 1924. This strand was designed by Coco Chanel, who believed that the clasp is an integral part of a necklace's design and should be worn where it could be seen.

Vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB) is a bleeding problem that occurs in some newborns during the first few days of life. VKDB was previously called hemorrhagic disease of the newborn.
Babies are normally born with low levels of vitamin K, an essential factor in blood clotting. A deficiency in vitamin K is the main cause of VKDB.
Vitamin K deficiency may result in bleeding in a very small percentage of babies. Babies at risk for developing vitamin K deficiency bleeding (VKDB) include the following:
Without the clotting factor, bleeding occurs, and severe bleeding or hemorrhage can result.
The following are the most common symptoms of VKDB. However, each baby may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of VKDB may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your baby's doctor for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, a diagnosis is based on signs of bleeding and laboratory tests for blood clotting times.
Specific treatment for VKDB will be determined by your baby's doctor.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends giving every newborn baby an injection of vitamin K after delivery, as well as supplementing feedings with infant formulas that contain vitamin K, to prevent this potentially life-threatening disease.
Blood transfusions may also be needed if bleeding is severe.

Saturday 7th June 2014
Save the date. Don't book a holiday. Refuse that wedding invite. Saturday 7th June 2014 will be the day that Britain's coolest night-time criterium returns to the streets of London.
Penny Farthings and track bikes are sure to feature again in 2014 while a cycling expo area, food stalls and live music will fuel the festival atmosphere on this unique day in London's sporting calendar.
We've been up and running since 2007. In June 2013 we welcomed our biggest-ever crowd to Smithfield Market as 15,000 fans packed around the 1.1km circuit for some breath-taking elite racing.
Tom Scully won the NORGLIDE® Elite Criterium ahead of Alex Dowsett while Hannah Barnes was victorious in the Rapha Elite Women's Criterium on a memorable night of photo-finishes.
We're sure that the 2014 Nocturne will take it to another level - and we look forward to seeing you there.

We are an Independent Automotive Service Center featuring quality ACDelco Parts. We offer vehicle maintenance, service & repair. Feel free to call or come by our location anytime.
Great Service & Quality Work – I've had two cars worked on for several years by Layfield. Their staff is courteous and professional - and they stand behind their work. They've always worked hard to be on time with their service, and have stood behind their service. I'd recommend them to anyone.
Quality work & Honest – We have been taking our vehicles to Layfield Motors for years. Nap is our guy and we know he will take good care of us as well as anyone we send there. Recently our Nanny received a quote for work and I sent it over to Nap. He said it looked a little "fishy" and wanted to take a look at the car. They were able to do all the work needed to get the car running great and saved her over $300!!
Thank you for the review!
Excellent and honest – Been going to WT Standard at Woodstock for years, since previous mechanic told me I needed new AC system. Standard fixed existing. Have sent several other people there and will continue to. My kind of people. Been going there since Reggie was there and now deal with Chris or others All good honest folks.
I''m happy to have the opportunity to sing their praises! ! !
George Haynie
Thanks George! It has always been a pleasure working with you!
Best Car Repair in Atlanta – I have taken my car to many a shop and never felt quite sure if I was getting quality work at a fair price, or if I was being ripped off. This place is the total opposite, and have great customer service to boot.
I had taken my car there for work on the brakes, which they did at a good price, and dropped me off and picked me up from work while they did the job.
While there, at my request, they took a look at some other (botched) work I had done somewhere else and gave me a complete diagnostic which I could take to the other shop and have them re-do their work correctly this time. I didn't believe this could happen!
I will be taking my car and my husband's there from now on.
Thank you for taking time to write this review! We appreciate your comments very much, and hope to see you again the next time you have automotive repair or service needs!
I would like to say this: – I have used WT Standard since I began my current job back in July of '10. They service my entire shop's fleet with exceptional skill and courtesy. They are outstanding for many reasons, several of which include the following:
1) Communication- Clear, patient and courteous. Easy to take for granted, but not that common in their line of business.
2) Expertise- How to say it. If they fix it, it stays fixed.
3) Broad Range- Its amazing how many things they can work on. Not just cars. If it has a motor, they will take care of it.
4) Quick turn around- This is perhaps the most important thing. They KNOW you need your business vehicle back on the road. They work with alacrity. They even pick it up, fix it, and bring it back. Wonderful stuff.
Mitchell R., Landscape Manager.
Thank you for the great review! And thank you for the business!
Great service for both automobiles & customers – W.T. Standard maintains exceptional standards of service and accountability. Our company utilizes W.T for maintenance and repair of our fleet of 100+ vehicles. We are continually impressed with the quality of their work, attention to detail, and timely turnaround times.
Every W.T. Standard employee we have spoken to or met with is courteous, attentive, and professional. They truly place the needs of their customer first! I highly recommend W.T. Standard.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write a great review, and thank you for the business!
Great Service! Overall the Best to Work With! – Our company has used WT Standard for more years than I have been with the company, so I would guess that would sum up the great experience we have with them.
WT helps us with customer concerns and goes above and beyond to service our fleet of vans as well as the body work.
Having this winning team on your side sure makes your job easier.
Every location is great to work with and they can accomplish any task in a timely and professional way.
Thank you for all you guys do for us! I appreciate you taking time to write a review, and surely do appreciate the business!

SRAM recently announced a small but important addition to its X9 shifters: Balls.
Whereas previous X9 shifter levers pivoted on simple, wear-prone bushings, starting next month all new production X9 shifters will come with smoother, more-precise and longer-lasting ball bearing assemblies—a feature previously reserved for SRAM's higher-end X.0 and XX mountain bike groups. Is this upgrade going to change your life? Probably not. But all these little details on a bike do add up, and while the factory-greased bushings on a set of previous-generation X9 shifters may feel great the first few rides, the ball-bearing equipped models ought to maintain that new-bike-feel for significantly longer. Together with its affordable hub options in a variety of configurations, SRAM X9 is as strong an everyman's mountain bike group as ever.
"…Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all"

Welcome to the Western Rite Vicariate, a part of the Self-Ruled Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese in America. Effective May 18, 2012, by appointment of His Eminence Metropolitan Philip, His Grace Bishop John serves as the only Auxiliary Bishop to oversee the Western Rite Vicariate. Assisting His Grace is the V. Rev. Edward Hughes, Vicar General of the Western Rite Vicariate. The Vicariate includes more than 20 churches and missions located throughout the United States.
ORDO 2014 Western Rite Liturgical Guide Now Available
The Western Rite Vicariate announces the publication of ORDO 2014. This booklet is the official liturgical guide for all Western Rite parishes in the Vicariate. It contains directions for reciting the Divine Office and celebrating the Mass according to the calendar and use of the Western Rite Vicariate of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. It contains rubrics for both the Rite of St. Gregory with the Monastic Diurnal, and the Rite of St. Tikhon with The English Office.
The ORDO 2014 is available in both print and electronic formats. Copies may be purchased at the St. Luke's Priory Press Store on Lulu: www.lulu.com/spotlight/frfenton.
Fr. Mark McNary Returns to Lead St. Peter Church + Fort Worth, TX
AXIOS, he is worthy! With those words Deacon Mark McNary was ordained into the priesthood at St. Basil Orthodox Church in Metairie, Louisiana on December 15, 2013. He is now caring for the Holy Antimins on the altar of St. Peter Church in Fort Worth Texas—the very church where he attended his first Orthodox service in 2007.
On January 19, 2014, His Grace Bishop John, Auxiliary Bishop for Western Rite, officiated at the induction of Fr. Mark as the parish's third rector of the largest Western Rite parish in Texas. Kent Schmedel, senior warden of St. Peter's vestry, presented Fr. Mark with the keys to the sanctuary. Seven parishioners were also received into the Order of St. Ignatius. The parish then hosted a country western luncheon to welcome Bishop John and Fr. Mark to Fort Worth and presented each with his own special "Cowtown" hat.
Bishop John Visits Holy Trinity Mission + Lynchburg, VA
His Grace Bishop John visited Holy Trinity Mission in Lynchburg, Virginia over the weekend of November 23-24, 2013. After an unexpectedly prolonged sojourn at the Charlotte, North Carolina airport, Bishop John arrived in time to preach at Vespers after his solemn reception. On Saturday evening, His Grace was guest of honor at a dinner with the lay leadership of the mission. At Sunday Matins and Liturgy, His Grace eloquently wove all the Scripture readings together into their theme of Eucharist, answered questions at a festive coffee hour afterwards, and later treated Fr. Alban Waggener and Kh. Helen to dinner. It was a joyous weekend. We are greatly blessed with Bishop John's leadership and charisma as the overseer of the Western Orthodox churches of the Archdiocese.

There was so much commotion at the farm last Friday. We heard that 500 Christmas trees were being planted as part of a reforestation project. We always like to keep on top of what's going on so we decided to go and inspect the progress.
Inspecting the new trees on the farmPosted by Francesca
Comments (10)
Hi Francesca, what an amazing project, you and Sharkey look so cute in the field. I am sure you both had a great time.
Love you
Hi F & S
Looks like you had a busy day Friday. In your second picture Uncle Carlos looks a bit stressed, were you doing something not to his liking? Mom gets that look a lot when I help her garden and it's usually not a "Good Thing" that I was doing. I relaxed all weekend, watched dad work on the pool, I lounged in my chair listening to the waterfall. Life is good
Hi F&S,
I had a feeling you gals would get in on the action somehow. How do those little trees look from your angle? That was a neat machine they used to plant them. Wow, I was amazed. I guess you know if you happen to find any truffles, your mommy would really like to know. She told us she likes them. I guess we'll see you on the taped show on Arbor Day. I'm looking forward to it!
Good morning Francesca and Sharkey: WOW! I bet that was alot of fun. Did you help them plant all those trees or did you sit and watch? I would love to help them plant cause I can really dig in the dirt when I want to. My parents and I have an artificial tree (Martha Stewart) that I helped set up last year. When it was all fixed up, I didn't even bother all the bright and shiny stuff on it. Boy, I just liked to look at all the glitter stuff and lights and I like to lie under the tree too. Reminds me of the forest. Well, got to go play with some toys. Have fun today - Love Gracyn
When the trees get big,I wonder how many squirrels are going to make their home there? Seems you'll be busy..
Way to go,
Mrrrow. You two are mrrrowy good helpers! Ya' know, in order to earn our keep (you know, room and board in the wonderful homes we live in), we have to do our part sometimes and help awound the house! Looks like you two did just that! I'm an old boy and help when I can, but my sister Mandy =^..^= helps mommie with evwything! She's just soooo curious and has her wittle pink nose in EVWYTHING! Mommie tells us what she's doing, and usually talks us thru the process. She's a good mommie...I weally wuv her! Prrr. =^..^=
Hi F & S,
Kirby here. I think that it's great that you have so many trees to investigate on your farm. I have some big trees in my back yard. One time, when in Alaska, I investigated one of those "Black Spruce" trees really close. It took my mama almost an hour to cut that spruce tar out of my long guard hairs. It was so embarking for me. Next time I stood a little farther away from the tree.
See you later, Kirby
Hi Girl Friends, I sure wish my mom had a beautiful farm like your mom does so I could do all of the fun things that you guys get to do. I would love all of the different smells around your farm because my favorite thing is to check out new smells. When my mom takes me or a walk, she calls it a "stop" because I stop every few seconds to check out new smells. Isn't life fun?!!! Love, Dudley Do Right xoxo
Hi guys! Good job supervising!
My mom trained me to dig holes when she gardens, but I don't think I could do 500 trees! I still have to learn to throw the dirt away from her, though - it usually ends up all over her and she gets a little peeved
My brother Moshe can't seem to learn that you're only supposed to dig holes when mom asks for them. Of course he also needs to learn not to dig up plants and bring them to mom as "presents". I wonder if I was that much trouble at 11 months?
what a life! getting to run around all those trees, taking in fresh air and being with your pal Uncle Carlos...great project! revitalizing this earth with new trees...tell your mommy Martha to be proud to be able to do that!

Run very small I have very narrow feet and these were too narrow for me. Also, the thong was not positioned correctly for my feet. Pretty but not wearable! February 21, 2014
Absolutely gorgeous! I'm wearing these to my beach wedding. They are stunning! I went up a size and they fit perfectly. February 10, 2014
Puttin' on the Ritz!! Yes, these do run narrow. The length is normal. I wear a 7N in Stuart Weitzman, Cole Haan etc. and these fit me perfect. They do stretch a little so I'll probably have to use a pad in the future. Talk about gorgeous - everyone commented on my shoes!! I wore them to a wedding in Cabo with a TB strapless long dress - definitely the WOW factor. Would buy another pair if they came in other colors!!! November 29, 2013
Casual but elegant The fit is perfect and the piece that goes between the toes is wrapped in a soft cushy fabric making them very comfortable to walk in. Be careful when you first try them on as the sole is completely smooth making these shoes VERY SLIPPERY to walk in. Rough up the bottom with sandpaper or purchase thin stick-on gripper soles. November 27, 2013
Great looking shoes! These were perfect for my daughter's beach wedding. They were snug to start with so I wore them around the house to break them in. They were very comfortable to wear for the wedding and reception. October 14, 2013
Stunning! These shoes are absolutely beautiful. They're a little narrow for my foot so undecided whether to keep or not. August 6, 2013
Beautiful, but too small These are the most beautiful sandals I've ever seen--all the way down to the packaging. However, I had to return them because the were too slim fitting; I wear an average size 7, and my feet are pretty slender, but not slender enough for these! Despite the slim fit, for those lucky few, I still had to rate these five pineapples--just because they're so pretty. July 27, 2013
Love! Love! Love! I absolutely love these shoes! They are comfortable, can be dressed up or dressed down. They go with everything, from my little black dress to my jeans. I absolutely love them! May 27, 2013

The Cardinal Nation/Scout.com Player Profile (including links to full 2012 and career stats)
School: Palm Beach Community College, Fla.
Selected 2012 stats
CariocaCardinal (25): Siegrist was drafted out of junior college but still pitched in rookie and short season ball in each of his first three professional seasons. That slow advancement pace seems to have paid off as Siegrist has excelled each of the last two seasons in Class-A and Double-A ball and followed that up with an exceptional Arizona Fall League showing this fall.
While Siegrist's strikeout and walk rates have not been great, he has held hitters to a batting average of just a few points north of .200. Then, for good measure, he went to the AFL and posted a fantastic K rate of 13.5/9 IP with just six walks in 19 IP.
Siegrist's performance in the AFL showed that he is probably ready for Triple-A. However, the numbers may prevent him from starting there and relegate him to Double-A to start the year. The caveat to that is that if the team likes him as a potential LOOGY, he could start 2013 in the Triple-A bullpen.
Message board community (21): Siegrist jumped from 50th on the 2011 community list to 21st this year. Don't think LOOGY, though that's a fallback. Think lefty starter - though since he has yet to throw 108 innings in a season, he'll need to build stamina.
He didn't turn 23 till July, but he made it to Double-A. Across levels last year, Siegrist fanned 9.82 lefties per nine innings pitched. His FIP versus lefties was 2.97, compared to 4.51 for righties. Overall, batters hit only .190 against him. Then he went to the AFL and fanned 27 in just 19 innings, while allowing only 15 hits and no home runs.
Expect Siegrist to be part of the Springfield rotation to begin the season. Given the likely Triple-A rotation, there will be no need to rush him. - Gagliano
Brian Walton (18): While I placed fellow lefty Sam Freeman ahead at number 15, having Siegrist in my top 20 indicates how competitively I view him. Freeman has tested his major league chops, while Siegrist has limited time at Double-A.
Starting as a 41st-round draft pick and after being passed over his first five years of top prospect list qualification, Siegrist has moved up the prospect pecking order quickly over the last year. He first drew the attention of many when he scored an invitation to major league spring training camp despite just a half-season of experience at the A-Advanced level.
After a brief, but decent showing in early March, things quickly went south for Siegrist. He ran into a pair of injuries that did not allow him to get into full-time action until late June.
Following 10 dominating starts at A-Advanced Palm Beach, Siegrist was promoted to Double-A Springfield at the start of August. The 23-year-old was assigned to the Arizona Fall League to make up for lost time and continue to progress. And that, he did. Siegrist improved his ground ball rate substantially, perhaps contributing to an abnormally-high .349 BABIP.
In his AFL finale, the side-armer threw his fastball roughly three-quarters of the time. While it was not exceptional at 87 to 92 mph, its break was substantially greater than the fastballs of teammates Seth Blair and Boone Whiting. His main secondary pitch was his improved slider with a big difference in velocity at 72-76 and he also showed a change at 78-83.
As a result of his strong second half and fall, Siegrist was a clear choice to be added to the 40-man roster. That move was made in November to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft. With continued progress at Memphis, an MLB debut out of the pen in the second half of 2013 should not be considered out of the question.
