"A man who lives in a glass house should not throw stones," former Hamilton County Deputy Lonnie Hood said Tuesday in response to a recent statement by former Hamilton County Chief Deputy Jim Hammond that he was "disappointed" in Hood's guilty plea of conspiring to deal drugs in the jail.
Hood, 38, had entered guilty pleas to between five and seven charges in a federal indictment returned last December and agreed to assist prosecutors.
He made his comment as he emerged at noon from two and a half hours of testimony before a federal grand jury investigating possible illegal activities at the jail.
"All I can say is a man who lives in a glass house should not throw stones," stated Hood.
Hood was asked if he was possibly referring to the legal problems Hammond's daughter, Brandi McGill, experienced in the stabbing death of a man in her apartment.
"No," he responded. "I'm sure you can figure out what I mean. That's all I am going to say about it for now."
Hood testified before the federal grand jury for an hour last month and was scheduled for further testimony Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Hammond, the Democratic nominee for sheriff, will face incumbent Sheriff John Cupp in the August general election.
The former chief deputy said in a political debate before the Red Bank Chamber of Commerce on April 21 that as sheriff he would aim to hire men and women of integrity and character to fill positions in the department.
Mr. Hammond expressed disappointment in Hood and Jeffrey Mahon, two former deputies, who entered guilty pleas to charges in the December indictment.
The Democratic candidate for sheriff said he was "personally disappointed" in the men hired on his watch who pleaded guilty.
Mr. Hammond said the former department employees will have to "pay the price."
When the indictment against Hood and six others was made public last December,
Mr. Hammond said he had worked with Hood for several years. He characterized Hood as "a good officer" and said if the charges were true he would be "shocked and disappointed."
Mr. Hammond said in December that he had never led an official investigation into steroid use by jailers.
He added that "allegations about steroid abuse have gone on for years."
Mr. Hammond was chief deputy under former Sheriff H.Q. Evatt until 1994.
Mr. Evatt did not seek re-election and Mr. Hammond, the Democratic nominee, lost narrowly to Sheriff Cupp, a Republican, in the August general election.
The indictment against Hood and six others charged that a conspiracy to distribute anabolic steroids in the jail had been going on since 1991.

A crisis in or of neoliberalism? - Prof. Bob Jessop (Lancaster University) - 3rd October
Professor Jessop presented a 'cultural political economy' analysis of the continuing economic crisis (2007-present), focusing on the evolving struggle to interpret the crisis (including the attribution of causal power and agential responsibility) and the place of finance-led accumulation and neo-liberalism in these interpretations. Key issues include:
whether this is a crisis in finance-led accumulation (or financialisation), in neo-liberalism, or in the global geo-economic order; and
the recuperation of neo-liberal forces over the last two years and the attempt to use the crisis to reinforce neo-liberal tendencies.
About Professor Jessop
Bob Jessop
is Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Co-Director of the Cultural Political Economy Research Centre at Lancaster University. He is best known for his contributions to state theory, critical political economy, critical realism, and the restructuring of welfare regimes. His most recent work is in the field of cultural political economy.
He started a three-year ESRC Professorial Research Fellowship in January 2010 on the topic of the crisis of crisis-management. His books include: The Capitalist State (1982), Nicos Poulantzas (1985), Thatcherism: a Tale of Two Nations (1988), State Theory (1990), The Future of the Capitalist State (2002), Beyond the Regulation Approach (2006), and State Power (2007).
Electric Car Development as a Potential SD-PAM (Sustainable Development-Policies and Measures) Program in China? - Prof. Wang Jin (Department of Sociology, Sun Yat-Sen University Guangzhou, China) 24th February
SD-PAM (Sustainable Development-Policies and Measures) is a proposed mechanism meant to get the developing countries more actively involved in mitigation efforts. As part of a grand strategy to shift China away from the over reliance on fossil fuel, but also as a drive to gain competitive edge in the next round of global competition, China is keenly interested in developing alternative fuel vehicles, such as electric cars. What if China proposes to make its electric car program as a potential SD-PAM program? Will it make or break the mechanism and why? What does it say about the feasibility of SD-PAM or other similar proposals like NAMA which is widely used by many developing countries, including China, in recent climate talks?
About Professor Jin Wang
Prof Jin Wang, of Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou (China) is a Chinese social scientist with an interest in the politics and discourse of climate change. He received his PhD in 2006 in Sociology from the University of Iowa. He has a strong interest and expertise in Political Sociology which makes him an ideal interlocutor to the social scientists in LSS and the university.

Sponsored by Swedish Energy Agency (STEM), 2009-2010 and 'Sustainability for the 21st Century: Overcoming Limitations to Creative Adaptation in Addressing Climate Challenge'. CERES21 Project organized by University of Oslo, and sponsored by the Research Council of Norway, 2008-2012.
Iran's Green Movement: Reform or Revolution? - Dr. Mahmood Delkhasteh - 3rd February
This public seminar on the current political situation in Iran began with a paper by Dr Mahmood Delkhasteh entitled 'Iran's Green Movement: Reform or Revolution?' There is now intense debate about whether the ongoing uprising against the Iranian regime is another ill-fated attempt to reform the country's political system, or the roots of a new revolution. Dr Delkhasteh, a political writer specialising in Iranian politics and social thought see below), argued that despite massive information (and disinformation) available in the media, these questions cannot be answered without a deeper understanding the origins of the uprising, the social forces that are sustaining it, the wider global context of the movement, the role of new media, and the popularisation of discourses of Islamic liberation.
About Dr Mahmood Delkhasteh
Dr Delkhasteh completed his PhD in Sociology from the London School of Economics and Political Science in 2007. He is currently working on a new book based on his doctoral dissertation, Islamic Discourses of Power and Freedom in the Iranian Revolution, 1979-81.

Updates were made to the Perinatal Guideline on January 22, 2013, January 29, 2013 and April 3, 2013. For an explanation of the updates, please see the correction notice.
(Last updated:7/31/2012; last reviewed:7/31/2012)
Panel's Recommendations
The potential harm to the fetus from maternal ingestion of a specific drug depends not only on the drug itself but also on the dose ingested; the gestational age of the fetus at exposure; the duration of exposure; the interaction with other agents to which the fetus is exposed; and, to an unknown extent, the genetic makeup of mother and fetus.
Information regarding the safety of drugs in pregnancy is derived from animal toxicity data, anecdotal experience, registry data, and clinical trials. Data are limited for antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, particularly when used in combination therapy. Drug choice should be individualized and must be based on discussion with a woman and available data from preclinical and clinical testing of the individual drugs. Preclinical data include results of in vitro and animal in vivo screening tests for carcinogenicity, clastogenicity/mutagenicity, and reproductive and teratogenic effects. However, the predictive value of such tests for adverse effects in humans is unknown. For example, of approximately 1,200 known animal teratogens, only about 30 are known to be teratogenic in humans.1 Limited data exist regarding placental passage, pharmacokinetics and safety in pregnancy, and long-term safety for exposed infants for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved ARV drugs (see Supplement: Safety and Toxicity of Individual Antiretroviral Agents in Pregnancy). In general, reports of birth defects in fetuses/infants of women enrolled in observational studies who receive ARV regimens during pregnancy are reassuring and find no difference in rates of birth defects for first-trimester compared with later exposures.2-4 However, concerns have been raised about the risk of several ARV agents.
Significant malformations were observed in 3 of 20 infant cynomolgus monkeys receiving efavirenz from gestational Days 20 to 150 at a dose resulting in plasma concentrations comparable to systemic human exposure at therapeutic dosage.5 The malformations included anencephaly and unilateral anophthalmia in one, microphthalmia in another, and cleft palate in the third. Among pregnancies prospectively reported to the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry through January 2012 that had exposure to efavirenz-based regimens, a 2.7% incidence of overall birth defects was seen with first-trimester exposure, a proportion not significantly different from that observed among U.S. births in the general population.6 Defects reported prospectively included 1 report of myelomeningocele and a separate report of anophthalmia. The case of anophthalmia included severe oblique facial clefts and amniotic banding that is known to be associated with anophthalmia.6 In addition, 6 cases of central nervous system defects, including myelomeningocele, have been retrospectively reported in infants born to mothers receiving efavirenz during the first trimester.5 However, retrospective reports can be biased toward reporting of more unusual and severe cases and are less likely to be representative of the general population experience.
A meta-analysis including data from 9 cohorts with prospective reporting on 1,132 first-trimester exposures did not find an increased risk of overall birth defects in infants born to women on efavirenz during the first trimester compared with those on other ARV drugs during the first trimester (relative risk [RR] 0.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61–1.24).7 One neural tube defect occurred among 1,256 live births. An update to the meta-analysis included 181 additional live births with first-trimester efavirenz exposure and had similar results; the RR of overall birth defects on efavirenz versus non-efavirenz regimens was 0.85 (95% CI, 0.61–1.20), and 1 neural tube defect (the same as previous) was observed, giving an incidence of 0.07% (95% CI, 0.002–0.39).8 However, the number of reported first-trimester efavirenz exposures still remains insufficient to rule out a significant 2- to 3-fold increase in low-incidence birth defects (incidence of neural tube defects in the general U.S. population is 0.02–0.2%).
In contrast to the meta-analysis, the Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Protocols (PACTG) 219 and 219C studies reported a higher defect rate in infants with first-trimester exposure to efavirenz compared with those without first-trimester efavirenz exposure (adjusted odds ratio 4.31; 95% CI, 1.56–11.86). However, only 32 infants had efavirenz exposure. PACTG protocol P1025 is a companion study of PACTG 219 with considerable overlap in cases enrolled. Although P1025 reports a significant increased risk of congenital anomalies in infants born between 2002 and 2007 with first-trimester exposure to efavirenz, there is overlap in the defect cases between the 2 studies and only 42 infants are included in this analysis. Thus, additional data are needed on first-trimester efavirenz exposures to be able to more conclusively determine if risk of neural tube defects or other malformations is elevated.
Although a causal relationship has not been established between these events and the use of efavirenz, in light of similar findings in primates, efavirenz has been classified as FDA Pregnancy Category D. Because of the potential for teratogenicity, pregnancy should be avoided in women receiving efavirenz, and treatment with efavirenz should be avoided during the first trimester (the primary period of fetal organogenesis) whenever possible. Women of childbearing potential should undergo pregnancy testing before initiation of efavirenz and should be counseled about the potential risk to the fetus and desirability of avoiding pregnancy while on efavirenz-containing regimens. Alternate ARV regimens that do not include efavirenz should be strongly considered in women who are planning to become pregnant or who are sexually active and not using effective contraception if such alternative regimens are acceptable to provider and patient and will not compromise the woman's health. However, the Panel now recommends that efavirenz can be continued in women who present for care in the first trimester and are receiving efavirenz-based ARV therapy that is effective in suppressing viral replication. This is because the neural tube closes at 36 to 39 days after the last menstrual period; hence the risk of neural tube defects is restricted to the first 5 to 6 weeks of pregnancy (and pregnancy is rarely recognized before 5–6 weeks of pregnancy), and unnecessary changes in ARV drugs during pregnancy may be associated with a loss of virologic control and, thus, increased risk of transmission to the infant.9 For more details, see HIV-Infected Pregnant Women Who are Currently Receiving Antiretroviral Treatment.
Tenofovir has not demonstrated teratogenicity in rodents or monkeys. In infant monkeys with in utero exposure to tenofovir at maternal doses resulting in levels approximately 25 times those used in humans, low birth weights and reductions in fetal bone porosity were seen. Chronic administration of tenofovir to immature animals of multiple species has resulted in reversible bone abnormalities; these effects were dose, exposure, age, and species specific. Data from the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry show a birth defect incidence of 2.3% in 1,370 women with first-trimester tenofovir exposure, similar to that in the general population.6 An Italian study assessed growth patterns, bone health, and markers of bone metabolism in 33 infants with in utero exposure to tenofovir and found no difference compared with infants born to HIV-infected women who had not been exposed to tenofovir.10 A larger study from the United States included 2,029 HIV-exposed but uninfected infants, 449 (21%) of whom had in utero exposure to tenofovir.11 Although there were no differences in anthropomorphic parameters at birth, at age 1 year, infants exposed to tenofovir-based regimens had slight but significantly lower adjusted mean length and head circumference for age z-score than those without exposure to tenofovir. Because of the limited data on use in human pregnancy and concern regarding potential fetal bone effects and potential nephrotoxicity, tenofovir is recommended as an alternative rather than a preferred drug for use in pregnancy unless a pregnant woman is HIV/hepatitis B coinfected (see Table 5).
A modest but statistically significant increase in overall birth defect rates for didanosine and nelfinavir is observed when compared with the U.S. population-based Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP).6 The lower bound of the CI for didanosine and nelfinavir (2.8%) is slightly above the higher bound (2.76%) for the MACDP rate. No specific pattern of defects has been detected with either didanosine or nelfinavir, and the clinical relevance of this statistical finding is unclear. The Registry will continue to monitor didanosine and nelfinavir for any signal or pattern of birth defects.
See Supplement: Safety and Toxicity of Individual Antiretroviral Drugs in Pregnancy to obtain detailed information on individual drugs.
Health care providers who are caring for HIV-infected pregnant women and their newborns are strongly advised to report instances of prenatal exposure to ARV drugs (either alone or in combination) to the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry. This registry is an epidemiologic project to collect observational, nonexperimental data regarding ARV exposure during pregnancy for the purpose of assessing the potential teratogenicity of these drugs. Registry data will be used to supplement animal toxicology studies and assist clinicians in weighing the potential risks and benefits of treatment for individual patients. The Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry is a collaborative project of pharmaceutical manufacturers with an advisory committee of obstetric and pediatric practitioners. The registry does not use patient names, and registry staff obtain birth outcome follow-up information from the reporting physician.

08:21 AM ET 07.06 | Urban Meyer has yet to speak publicly on the plight of Aaron Hernandez, one of his former players at Florida. But two members of the Ohio State coach???s family took to Twitter at midweek to show where they stand on the matter, especially the implication that the way Hernandez was treated during a sometimes troubled three years with the Gators had anything to do with his being accused of murder. "When will we start holding individuals accountable for their own decisions/actions and stop blaming any/everyone else? #liveyourliferight," Meyer's wife, Shelley, tweeted. His daughter Gigi followed with "Smh ppl lol #liveyourliferight and #stopblamingothers. There's this thing called #SelfAccountability. It exists, I swear. God Bless." (For the uninitiated, "Shaking my head, people, laugh out loud.")
Love the mnemonic/acronym explanations at the end...
Yeah! That was smh.....

No...I've seen his wife and daughter...would rather see a mud-wrestling match.
DULLUGAF?**(Translation: Does Urban Look Like Urban Gives A Flip?)
LOL...well played
UFM texted a statement this morning. It reads:
"Prayers and thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim. Relating or blaming these serious charges to the University of Florida, myself, or our staff is wrong and irresponsible.
"I just received an email from a friend where there is an accusation of multiple failed drug tests by Hernandez covered up by the University of Florida or the coaching staff. This is absolutely not true. Hernandez was held to the same drug testing policy as every other player.
"He was an athlete at Florida 4-7 years ago and there are some comments being made that are not correct. Our staff, myself and our families worked very hard to mentor and guide him."
LMFAO, how would UM's wife or daughter know anything about, Aaron being a problem at Florida??

I still think mud-wrestling would be best...
Urb could care less about some worthless guy shot in a field in Mass. Ohio State was 12-0 and will repeat that record.
Urban Meyer is a very good football coach...and a very good liar, as well. He will, ultimately, embarrass Ohio State as a university, but, I suspect, most Buckeyes fans won't care because he'll win lots of games.
And who gives a rat's **** WHAT his wife thinks?!

The Advantages of Memory Foam Mattress
Are you often feeling tired or sluggish every time you are waking up from your bed? One reason for this might be the quality of your mattress. Sleeping on a poor quality mattress not only affects your sleep, but the rest of your day. A poor quality mattress can affect your sleep cycle by either decreasing the time you spend in a certain sleep stage or abolishing a stage of the sleep cycle altogether.
If that the case you may want to consider to use memory foam mattress in your home. This mattress was actually developed by NASA in the early 1970′s using visco elastic foam as the material. Then the development of this mattress is continued to serve the hospital service purposes.
Here are some of the advantages from memory foam mattress;
Sensitivity to weight
This mattress has the ability to adjust to a person's weight, memory foam mattresses have allowed many people to sleep comfortably throughout the whole night. This is quite handy for you if you are a couple sleeping in the same bed.
Usually there is always a difference in the weight between the man and the woman, and if one person constantly moves in a regular bed, this could disturb the other person. With this mattress, you wouldn't detect your sleep partner's movement. The visco foam will adjust and reposition itself as you adjust your sleeping position through the night.
Sensitivity to temperature
Even though the human body maintains a constant body temperature, the external parts of your body will be at different temperatures. When a person lies down onto the memory foam, the foam material will absorb the heat from your body and soften it. This advantage is quite handy in the case of someone with an injury because the injured area of the body will normally be fevered and the mattress will respond with extra softness at the place it's needed most.
When purchasing a mattress, some people might be concerned about it becoming too hot, however the mattresses are now built with an air exchange system that overcomes this.
Adjusts to your body to provide total support
When you first lay on the mattress, you will feel it adjust to the contours of your body. Your neck and spine will be held in perfect alignment, and you will be able to feel how the material is fully supporting your body from head to toe. The material will expand to absorb the force your body is applying to it.
Selecting a mattress of the correct density for your height and weight can further help you achieve total support for your body. Therefore, in the end you are left with the ability to achieve full body support by sleeping on a memory foam mattress.
The Advantages of Landscaping For Your Home
How much have you thought about landscaping? Do you know that a beautiful and well put together lawn has many benefits? Landscaping is lawn art where you will build beautiful garden, and like any other art form, it takes time, patience, and research to get your methods just right. So, what other benefits does landscaping provide besides just being "pretty"?
Firstly, landscaping can add value to your home and surrounding property. People will pay more for a home that looks nice and well maintained on the outside, as well as in, and home property values reflect that. The more your home is worth, the more equity it will have. We all strive to add value to our assets and this is an easy, enjoyable way to do a favor for yourself, your home, and your neighbors.
Landscaping can also be a good source of exercise, which is not vigorous or straining on your muscles. This is an additional aspect that becomes more important the older that you get. This may not be the case if you choose to lift heavy landscaping items, but there are many activities to keep you busy which are easy and manageable for anyone at almost any age.
Lastly, the exercise you get from landscaping can also burn calories which may be important to you if you are a woman trying to watch her weight.
Designing the Children Room Interior
Designing a room interior specifically for children is very much different from adult interior design. This is because the children imagination and creativity almost have no boundary and still developing. If you want to designing for your children room interior, you should involve your children and based your interior design with their idea.
Children current interest
The best place to start to determine the children room theme is by using the children current favorite interest such as sport, activities, movies, character and many more. The children interest usually will change in time as they grow older and more mature. Therefore you should not make any permanent interior designing to save you from wasting your money and effort, encase the children getting bored with their room interior design and demand to change it.
Wall color and room space
When deciding the paint color or wallpaper for the children room wall there are wide variety of options and opportunity. Children usually prefer for bright or bold color for their room wall. And creating a space that support their activities such as playing in the room will be a great idea. Most of them will prefer that way rather than using some furniture or seating arrangement.
Ornaments and accessories
Another point in children room interior design is the use of accessories that can accentuate the children room themes. Collectible items and toys is the most common ornament that you can use for decoration. But usually children will like to play with the decoration as their toys and often do not want to place it again to the right place, causing a mess and damage the interior design. To avoid this problem you should able to discipline them to put the decoration back to the right place after they have done playing, or you can use the decoration that less attract your children interest.
Those are some examples and ideas that you can use when designing the children room interior. There are also many other options or choice that you can use, but the most important thing is to make sure that you and your children will have a great time and fun when making this home improvement project for their room.
Basic Knowledge in Real Estate Investing
Real estate investing is not a get rich quick scheme. Real estate investing can, and will, make you wealthy, but it certainly won't happen overnight and it will require work. As you perfect your technique and gain experience, the amount of work needed to gain a lot of money will reduce, but it will take effort and persistence to make it there.
If you're completely new to real estate investing then the only sort of investing strategy you're likely aware of is rental properties.
Land lording has been around since there have been houses and people to rent them to, and it will continue to be a wealth builder. In fact, most of the 'no money down' real estate strategies you hear about still include rentals as part of their plan. Still, there are other ways to make money from real estate investing out there.
The next most traditional method is to buy a fixer-upper, fix it up, and then sell it for a profit. This is commonly referred to as 'rehabbing' and is a very good way to make a lot of money in a relatively short period of time. Most rehabbers won't even look at a property unless they can make at least $20,000 of profit, and this is usually within 3-4 months' time. Rehabbers tend to be experienced investors with available money, or have partners who help provide any extra cash required.
But if you're just starting out you likely won't have access to large amounts of money. One way to get involved in this area of real estate investing without needing any money at all is to 'flip' houses to these rehabbers. What this entails is you going out and finding these fixer-uppers, noting all the work required to fix the place up. You then place a low offer in to the owner, taking into account the fix up price and some built in profit. Once you have the house under contract you then flip it to a rehabber for a small fee. This can result in several thousand dollars for you, without you having to spend a dime. 'Flipping' properties can be a great way to start your real estate investing career.
Another 'no money down' technique that's popular on the late night infomercials is called 'lease optioning'. This is basically a rent to own strategy that allows you to control a property without ever taking ownership of it. It's a slightly more complicated strategy that warrants its own article, but it does allow you to make money in several different ways, each without ever having to spend any of your own money. If you're not put off by longer term investments then lease options are definitely worth more research.
There are other strategies that involve foreclosures and getting the home owner to sign the deed over to you, but for now I'd suggest learning more about flipping and lease options as entry-level real estate investing strategies.
How do you find properties that would make good real estate investments? Again, an entire article can be devoted to that, but there are basically two ways: you go looking for them, or you get them to come to you. The first way involves reading the newspaper classifieds and scanning the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). This is where having a great real estate agent is a must – they can get you more details on homes than you can view on the mls website, and can often let you know of great deals before they even become available to the general public.
Having home owners contact you means setting up an advertising campaign. This can involve placing ads in the newspaper, placing bandit signs at strategic locations around town, starting a direct mail campaign, etc. There are many ways to let people know that there's a new real estate investor in town, and it would be in your best interest to try each of them to see which ones work best for you.
Whether you decide to go looking for deals, have them come to you, or both, they key is to be persistent. Real estate investing is a numbers game – most of the time you won't be able to make the deal work, but every time you do it translates into thousands of dollars for you. The more owners you talk to, the more deals you'll be able to do, the more money you'll make.
There's a lot to learn out there, and all of it is very interesting. Find the area that interests you the most, then get out there and start talking to home owners. Don't be discouraged if you're getting turned down a lot, just remember that when it does pay off, it will pay off big!

to add an addition or not.....
econd story addition to existing room hello. great threads, So, here's what i have, I just bought a small 1300sq ft house with a large addition tacked on to the back of it This addition in on a concrete slab, which is different from the rest of the house which is raised.
The addition is 28 X 15. here's what we want to do: 1. raise the floor to the level of the rest of the house (bringing slab-level up to main house floor level about 2 feet) 2. then we want to remove the exiting ceiling which is the correct height where it touches the main house, but too low once it slopes down (about 12 degrees). 3, From there we want to build a second story addition that mirrors the previous additions. This upper space will be a master BR and bath. My worries are at least two-fold: Can my existing slab take this kind of weight? If not, is there any way to salvage it without rebuilding th entire structure? Also, given recent discussions of cost, what would something like this run me? not including the bathroom and bedroom details. Any sense? For those who want the longer picture, basically we're deciding if we should just raise the floor as it is (bringing it in line with the rests of the house) and add a new roof (at bottom it will have to be raise at least 2 feet) which one sees to make more sense. we are on a tight budget, but as my dad used to say, my wife recently swallowed a watermelon seed, so in 9 short month we'll have a watermelon that looks a lot like baby. Any help or tips would be most appreciate.....we are also redoing the kitchen right now....straightforward, but expensive. THanks do much, any thoughts..??.. mark elmore firstname.lastname@example.com also, any tips on how to make a ranch house a little spicier than a drag late soviet experiement in socialist architecture would be most appreaciated. mark |

thanks for your dignifying my post with a response. i was just hoping for general guidelines. I have had a couple of people out, but they disagreed.
I've also had the plumbing etc. checked and it is fine. Thanks again. mark |

By John-Webb CarterThis effect is VERY powerful for spectators to experience. It's THEIR borrowed and signed coin! It's THEIR selected and signed card! It happens RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES!
Effect:On the table is a deck of cards, a coin, a pen and a knife. The magician asks one of his spectators to select one of the cards and to sign its face. The card is then replaced back into the deck which is then shuffled and put onto the table. Now the magician picks up the coin and allows the spectator to sign it, while he explains that he will not find the card but the coin will. He picks up the deck and taps the coin on top of the deck. It's gone! The magician goes through the deck and finds the card, however there is no sign of the coin whatsoever. That is, until the magician picks up the knife and slices across the front of the card which reveals the coin in between the three layers of card and yes - it's the signed coin! Finally the card is torn in half to prove that there are no extra coins.Questions & Answers about C2C :-Are duplicate cards or coins involved?NO. You only use the card the spectator selects and signs. You can even borrow a coin from the spectator to do this effect!Can the coin and card can be kept as a souvenir?YES! We recommend it! When a spectator takes the card out of their wallet or purse and describes to their friends how the signed coin was actually buried INSIDE the signed card, it's a great advert for your services and magic!Do I need to switch in gimmicked props?NO! You really use the card and coin they signed!Is the coin really inside the card or is it just an optical illusion?It's really inside and is cut out with a pocket knife or the card ripped open to release it. They can feel the coin in the card before it is cut open!Is C2C repeatable?Yes! You destroy one playing card each time you perform this effect but that is the only additional expense to perform this killer effect. You can use any standard deck of playing cards for this effect, although we recommend Bicycle Playing Cards also sold here.A few moments before, they were holding both items then WHAM! The coin is GONE and really does become impossibly buried INSIDE the spectators signed playing card! Impossible? Not any more! John-Webb Carter teaches you his technique in detail. With photo illustrated instructions C2C is easy to perform and so strong for audiences that we are sure you will be using it as the closer in your close-up card or coin act!
New review: from Magic Bunny.Right - got this beauty on Saturday, and it did - indeed - take me about 40 minutes before I got the knack of making the gaffed cards. I managed about 5 'good-un's' during that first run, and can now make them up within 3 minutes (still make the occasional duffer, but it's only about 1-in-5 that I manage to stuff up - always right at the very beginning of the process, so there's never much time wasted). Once set, the effect is PURE GOLD; nobody I've show it to so far has any idea how on earth their marked coin can possibly find it's way into the middle of their signed card (especially after being able to show them both the back and front of the card, before cutting into the middle). For the final reveal, I'm finding that it's most effective to slice an 'X' incision over the position of the coin, and then have the speccy peel back the cuts to reveal their coin (obviously, you still need to be holding their card whilst they do this)....I've had five completely dropped-jaws at this point already. My Rating: 9/10" - Rob StanleyREVIEW OF C2C FROM WWW.MAGICBUNNY.CO.UK:When I recieved this I knew I had something special on my hands. I should say first of all that this is a very, very cool trick. I am talking from the perspectice of working in the real world for real people. If you buy tricks just because you want to learn a brand new sleight - you are looking in the wrong place. But if you want a good solid piece of magic then you are looking in the right place! The effect is truly unique, something that is lacking in a lot of magic effects these days. The image of a coin being ripped from the playing card is very powerful and spectators just cannot imagine how their coin got into their signed card. Probably the two best things about this trick are that it is very easy to perform (a routine that looks as good as this SHOULD NOT be this easy!) and completly angle proof. The routine can be done completly surrounded (in fact I was at a gig on Sunday when I had about 25 people all around me and this routine was no problem at all). Yes this routine does use a gimmick which some could say is a down side, but this is the good thing - the gimmick can be in the deck for as long as you want and nobody will EVER spot it. They can freely handle just the cards and still will not be able to spot anything. In one instance I was doing a different effect and it involved a spectator picking a card - they actually picked one with the C2C gimmick. However, I went through the whole trick and nobody even knew thats how clever the gimmick is. You will destroy one gimmick every time the routine is performed, however, the booklet tells you how to make as many of these as you want. It took me a couple of hours to learn how to make a gimmick properly, but now I can make up a gimmick in a little over a minute. You DO NOT need to know how to split cards. This is a different skill that can be learnt very easy. I know Dominic at the Merchant of Magic learnt how to make these gimmicks in just a few minutes (which means he could possibly be super human but I have no solid proof!) but for the average person I would say an hour or two at the most. When you have learnt how to make this effect you will have a killer routine that is a true reputation maker. When you pull that coin out that card people just FREAK and cannot understand how that can happen. On Thursday I made about 80 of these gimmicks and by the end of Sunday I had used them all. I tell you this so you uinderstand that this review is from the perceptive of someone who has performed this A LOT in the real world - not someone that has brought it and played around with it in their bedroom. It is honestly a real worker and will work just as well in the pub for your mates as it will at a big corporate gig. I know I am using it a lot, Dominic Reyes is using it professionally (a top close up performer in the UK) and after speaking to Oz Pearlman yesterday I know he really wants to pick one up ASAP. My advise - if you ever perform for real people get this - you won't regret it! - Craig Petty Thoughts: For anyone who does buy this effect here are somehandling ideas I have been working with! 1 - Most people have seen that effect where Chris Angel eats a coin and pulls it out his arm. Ask the spectators if they have seen that trick and whatever they say briefly descibe it to them. Tell them you will attempt to recreate the effect using a playing card, then take out the King of Spades from the deck (which has been previously gimmicked) and get the spectator to write "Chris Angel" on the face - telling them this card will represent Chris. Now lose the card in the deck and perform the rest of the effect. At the end the pulling of the coin out of the card makes sence as this is the effect Chris Angel performed that you are trying to recreate. 2 - Use the C2C as an ending to a coin cutting routine (where the coin is vanished and appears next to the selected card). A good resource for this kind of routine is Paul Gertner's book Steel and Silver or Dave Williams has a great routine. You could also use a RD coin deck and eliminate all sleight of hand. 3 - Do the effect on a married couple and have the card signed by the guy and the coin signed by the woman. Talk about the institute of marriage and two people becoming one. Vanish the coin and then show the guys card. Say just like in real life you have both become one and then rip the card open to prove it. 4 - Use the gimmicked card to perform ambitious card and then perform C2C at the end of this routine. 5 - IMO In a Flash (by Jay Sankey) and C2C work really well together. Don't forget In a Flash involves a coin burning through half the pack to find a selected card. Imagine the coin burning through half the cards but the coin has vanished. The card after all the holes is the selected card and inside the card is the coin. It is like the coin didn't manage to burn through all the cards and got stuck in the one they selected - I tried this a lot this weekend - VERY COOL. 6 - Although I haven't given it any thought as such the effect could be built into a matrix plot so that at the end of matrix C2C is performed as a kicker.

I don't think you will find one to rent but I would look into the CZ line. I have two and highly reconmend them. They are DA/SA.
I am in the market to purchase a handgun, I am looking for a double action automatic. It will be my first handgun that i will be purchasing. I have fired glocks, springfield XD's, and Berettas. I am looking for good quality firearm, that is a gun that will not need a lot of technical ability to operate. I would rather stay away from glock for personal reasons, they are great guns but i am not looking for theirs. I would like opinions on what i should go and shoot and why. I will be going to a range where i can rent a pistol so i would like options to try. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think you will find one to rent but I would look into the CZ line. I have two and highly reconmend them. They are DA/SA.
I can only offer a caliber, not a why as far as handgun per se. Try anything they have in a 9mm caliber since this will be your first handgun. Don't know the reason behind the Glock so don't rent a Glock. Rent as many as you can and you'll know which you prefer because of fit, feel, recoil, etal. All that you have listed are quality handguns. Just my .02.
My 2-cents....
I was where you are not long ago. There are so many good brands and guns out there...... the best thing is to go around and hold some. Even if you cannot fire them, just holding them will give you are good idea of what will work best......
It took me a couple months of driving around to every shop I could find to hold as many guns as possible, before I had a clue what I wanted to buy. I wanted a Glock based on reputation when I first started this. Then it took another month to narrow it down based on budget and availability......I did a lot of thinking and comparing as most probably do, it is not a purchase I wanted to take lightly.....
If you liked any of the ones you've shot, go check them out.....
Of the ones you've talked about, I liked the XDs a lot... real nice guns even if the safety seems weird at first.
As I said before I went shopping I wanted a Glock based on reputation and design. But it ended up that I was not a big fan of the Glock's grip....a little too fat and square. It just didn't feel good in my hand.
And I recently shot a Beretta PX4 and it was pretty nice too, although my buddy said he paid $800 which kind of turned me off to it. I did not think it was $800 nice but that is just one opinion.
I also liked the S&W M&P line, and if I would have had another $250 to spend I would have gotten it instead of the S&W Sigma I did end up with. I went with the best combination of comfort, reliability, price and comfort....did I mention comfort?
Because really that is what is will come down to.... if the gun feels right, it will shoot right. And as long as it is a reputable brand made in recent years it will probably be highly reliable.
The above recommendation is very accurate. One addition though, when handling the firearms around town ask the clerk to show you the breakdown of them (some will some won't). While several have very basic procedures, there are a few that require a bit more knowledge. The feel of the handgun is very important... In regard to price, my advice would be to not buy a cheaper gun that you do not love because of the price. If you find a gun that you absolutely have to have because it passes all the above requirements, then save for a bit longer to get it. Your first gun will always be your first gun.
I am personally a big fan of the 9mm caliber. If you want quality consider Sig Sauer, Heckler & Koch, Smith & Wesson, or Glock. I realize that Glock is not on your list but they are great handguns and probably make most lists of top picks.
Good luck.
As you have been advised, rent and shoot a pretty good variety of weapons. The 9mm is an excellent round for shooting as well as defense when you use the proper ammo. When you rent, see if you can shoot a Stoeger Cougar 8000 in 9x19mm. It is a great value and a good shooter. Many parts are interchangable with the Beretta 92/96 series such as the mag release from and Elite II. The skelotonized hammer may also work, just don't know from experience. This is just a suggestion, I have one in .40 S&W and it's a great gun. If you shoot enough you will find your fit.
Ok i forgot to mention i am not new to shooting, I have shot plenty this will not be my first gun, just the first one i go out to purchase myself. I am looking at getting something in a .45
I am not a fan of glock because of the safety mech on their triggers. I am just not that comfortable with that being the only safety. I love the guns in every other aspect.
Did somebody say .45? Guess these folks are discovering how much I like my P245. I picked this one up a while back, bought it used for $500 smackers.
The XD's by Springfield have a similar trigger set-up so that would eliminate them as well. SiG Sauer has a DAO (Double Action Only) and DAK (Double Action Kellerman, basically a lighter smoother DAO) trigger available in most models. You can find CPO's (certified Pre-Owned) for about 30% cheaper than brand new and they come with a 1 year warranty. Otherwise brand new isn't so bad if you can drop the coin on one. The P220 is their standard full size model in .45. Single stack set up. An older slightly more compact version is the P245. They are out of production, but can be found from time to time. They now make a P220 Compact instead. Lots of general information on them listed here: http://www.sigsauer.com/Products/Sho...x?categoryid=1
Then the XD 45
the xd is one of the ones i like, due to the second safety, my concern is someone handling it and accidently hitting the trigger like when pulling it out of the holster. I have handled the xd's and was impressed, my father in law has a sig but i have not gotten to handle or fire it yet. but i do like the guns.
Most of the suggestions above are not double action (though they are pistols you really should look into). For DA, then you will be looking at the Beretta 92's, Sig Sauer, CZ 75 & 85, and I think H&K has a few as well. There are also some older S&W's w/metal frames that I think they might still make. You can check their website for more info.
You could also look at some earlier Walthers as well. Used P1's can be found relatively cheap, and one can even find the occasional P5 on the used market too.
If you are on a budget, there are a few Taurus, Ruger, and Bersa DA's to look at as well....
My former Glock models 21 and 30 didn't pan out too well for me for carry purposes. (the 45acp Glocks)...so i went with a Sig P220 SAO after a lot of soul searching. A few 1911's have been through my hands before that, and even though they will always have a place in my heart, I just don't have the 1911 fever some do. My Glocks are the go-to pistols for me in 9mm and 40 S&W, but I got out of the box with the 45acp. I don't figure anyone could be disappointed in a SIG P220 in any variety they choose IMO, and they do have plenty of them.

NEW YORK (AP) — TV viewing could soon sound a little calmer. The CALM Act, which limits the volume of TV commercials, goes into effect on Thursday.
CALM stands for Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation. The act is designed to prevent TV commercials from blaring at louder volumes than the program content they accompany. The rules govern broadcasters as well as cable and satellite operators.
The rules are meant to protect viewers from excessively loud commercials.
The Federal Communications Commission adopted the rules a year ago, but gave the industry a one-year grace period to adopt them.
Suspected violations can be reported by the public to the FCC on its website.

Manziel's numbers are not murky. He amassed 4,600 yards of total offense while performing in the Southeastern Conference, the nation's best league. Manziel also was dazzling in his team's nationally televised upset of then-top-rated Alabama.
Mark Blaudschun, a longtime Heisman voter who recently retired from the Boston Globe, said he would have no problem voting a defensive player first. He attended the Notre Dame-Boston College game with the express purpose of focusing on Te'o.
"I went into the game looking for him to do something," Blaudschun said. "I didn't hear his name called the whole night."
Blaudschun submitted his Heisman vote in this order: Manziel, Te'o and USC receiver Marqise Lee.
Voters in Oklahoma caught Te'o on the night his fourth-quarter interception secured Notre Dame's impressive upset win in Norman. So it's no surprise that all four Heisman voters from the Daily Oklahoman had Te'o first on their ballots.
Columnist Jenni Carlson said she thought Te'o was a decisive, consistent presence. She noted Manziel did not have great games in losses to Florida and Louisiana State, while conceding the Florida game was Manziel's first college start.
In the end, Carlson picked Te'o. "I just really felt like he was on a team that wins with defense, and largely wins with defense because of him," she said.
She added: "I'm pretty sure I voted for the guy who is not going to win."
The Times doesn't allow its reporters to participate in awards, so I surrendered my Heisman vote years ago. My top three would have been Manziel, Te'o and Lee.
I watched Te'o in several games and acknowledge him as Notre Dame's indispensable, spiritual and inspirational leader. However, in the end it was impossible for me to conclude Te'o had more impact over his team's win-loss record than Manziel.
I agree with Huston of HeismanPundit: "There is no acute bias against defensive players. There is structural bias… When you read a recap of a game, even a Notre Dame game, I defy you to find one AP recap with Manti Te'o's tackle numbers… All defensive stats are shrouded in mystery."
And with that, so much for the mystery of this year's Heisman race.

Posted: 6:10 p.m. Monday, Feb. 4, 2013
By Margo Rutledge Kissell
Gov. John Kasich on Monday identified education funding and reform among his top five priorities in his proposed 2014-15 budget.
Kasich has said school districts will receive at least as much money for the next two years as they did this year. His budget proposal would boost state aid by $1.2 billion over two years, including $548 million more for base funding for school districts.
About 11 percent of the funding comes from state lottery profits and the rest from general revenue funds, which Kasich has said is the result of an improved state economy.
The proposed budget followed Thursday's unveiling of Kasich's new "Achievement Everywhere" school funding and reform plan. The governor said Monday he believes the plan is constitutional and, if passed, will better educate students and prepare them for jobs.
Kasich's office has not yet released specific numbers for how the formula affects individual districts. Those details could come later this week.
Valley View Local Schools Interim Superintendent Bill Kirby said it's great to have the governor pledging his support of K-12 education and reassuring superintendents that no district will see a drop in state funding next year.
"I was disappointed that we could not have received a readout for Valley View Schools of how the changes in the funding formula will impact our school district," he said.
Kirby was pleased, however, to hear the governor say districts offering half-day kindergarten will be funded for half day and those with full-day kindergarten will be funded for full day.
"Valley View is very interested in having full day kindergarten funded," he said.
The district moved to all-day kindergarten three years ago but returned to half-day kindergarten last year because of budget constraints. "We are presently on half-day kindergarten with one full-day class where the parents pay the cost for the second half of the day," Kirby said.
Some other local superintendents said they prefer to wait to comment on the governor's proposed funding for K-12 schools until district spreadsheets are released.
"We really need to see the details," West Carrollton City Schools Superintendent Rusty Clifford said Monday.
Kirby said he's concerned program areas that were not highlighted by the governor and his education staff may receive less funding than previously. "For example, transportation costs continue to rise with less funding from the state," he said.
