|Subliminal Training improves defensive driving
|Friday, April 12, 2013 12:04 PM
Tom Osting became a driving instructor and training manager after retiring from school bus driving. He was certified in 2001 after completing 62 hours of training through a program administered by the Ohio State Highway Patrol in Columbus. Osting averages 15-25 hours of in-car instruction and filling in when needed in the classroom setting.
Trena Proffitt Bartz has 32 years experience in law enforcement and began teaching classes in 2010. She typically logs over 80 hours of drive time in a three-week time-frame and teaches in the 24-hour classroom 6-7 times a year. She believes her acquired teaching certifications and relevancy enables a solid learning environment for her students.
Rick Reaver, who retired from the Highway Patrol in 2007, has been a driving instructor off and on for over 30 years and is a licensed driving instructor and certified training manager. As a trooper, he instructed cadets and police officers at the academy with maneuvering, pursuit driving and high-speed backing. He has also been a driving instructor for the law enforcement program at Apollo. In addition, Reaver teaches Saturday traffic school for first-time juvenile traffic offenders for Allen and Van Wert County juvenile courts.
Osting, Bartz and Reaver bring decades of professional experience, insight and perceptions to in-car and in-classroom driving instruction and each have a poignant view on the importance of their job. Bartz sums it up best.
"As I see it, my job is threefold: Keep them out of the morgue. Keep them out of the hospital. Keep them out of court," he said.
While on the road, each instructor teaches varying degrees of defensive driving with the goal of passing along the tools to keep everyone on the road safe.
During in-car instruction, Bartz explained that she takes the first-time out student on curvy county roads, comprised of dirt and/or loose stones for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The remaining 6 hours encompasses driving on curvy roads with small hills, in areas with heavier traffic and on expressways. Students practice maneuverability each time, unless he/she aced it the first time.
"I tell my students that the car is just an extension of the classroom," Reaver reasoned. "There are many topics and driving techniques that are still taught during the driving time."
Osting and Reaver share a similar view of on-line driver's training programs recently approved by the state. They feel there is no continuity between the online training and the driving time, no classroom interaction, no instructor insights and no clarification of discrepancies between actual Ohio law and a generic driver's education book.
Completion of a driver education course requires a student attend a minimum of 24 hours of classroom training and successfully pass the final exam by obtaining a score of 75 percent or higher. Once the classroom training is completed then the student must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 8 hours driving with a state certified driving instructor. Once the student has successfully completed the driver education course, they are provided a "Certificate of Completion."
Each instructor has experienced unnerving events while out on the road with a student. Just this past January, Bartz and her student were involved in a rollover.
As with all jobs, there are aspects of driver training that are very appealing and some that are not so appealing. Osting's favorite part of the job is being with young people, keeping up with the culture and talking about educational goals. Bartz thinks the coolest thing is when one of her young drivers points out illegal or unsafe actions of other drivers. A strong indicator they are paying attention to the instructions they have received from parents and in the classroom.
"I love working with this age group on any level, because I am still just a big kid at heart," she added. "I have no intention of ever totally growing up!"
Reaver enjoys teaching his students car maintenance and emergency scenarios; how to check the oil, identify and explain all fluid reservoirs, proper use of jumper cables and how to change a tire. He insists that students practice changing a tire (with parental supervision) on the vehicle that they will be driving, which reduces potential problems experienced in the driveway rather than along the side of a dark highway.
In contrast, Reaver explained the least enjoyable aspect of training is when inclement weather limits the amount of time students want to be outside the car learning how to change a tire.

Thomasville, Georgia-- A man accused of forcing himself on a 13 year old girl several times this month is being held in the Thomas County Jail.
Joey Lancaster was arrested Tuesday afternoon. Authorities say the 25 year old had sex with the girl at least once, and engaged in other sexual activity another time.
The child's parents turned Lancaster in yesterday. "Sometimes things happen, and when they do it's up to use to try to solve these things and try to do the best we can on behalf of the victims involved," says Investigator, Bob Brettel.
Investigators say Lancaster was the girl's neighbor. He's charged with child molestation. If convicted, he could spend up to 20 years in prison.

A Rajasthan tour company which supports local non-profit organizations has made it to the final 10 in this year's United Nations NGO Positive Peace Awards.
Relief Riders International (RRI) join other finalists like Hallmark, Coors Central Beverages and Honeywell for their efforts towards making a difference in the world. RRI is an adventure travel company which organizes relief missions to the Thar Desert.
Volunteers for these missions head to desert communities on Marwari horses with medical professionals. It combines site-seeing with humanitarian aid, as the travels to Rajasthan offer views of wild animal life, guided visits to ancient landmarks and the chance to participate in cultural events.
Relief Riders also offers a way for Indians to help those in need with its Give a Goat program. For INR 3475 (USD $75), the animal will provide villagers with milk and cheese and help children combat malnutrition.
"Each goat we deliver can produce enough food to feed a family," RRI founder Alexander Souri told eTurboNews. " It's very humbling to see how gratefully these gifts of sustenance are received."

On the same day Microsoft loudly proclaims Windows 8 in New York, the aging-but-still-going Windows XP today quietly celebrated its 11th birthday.
On Oct. 25, 2001, Microsoft launched Windows XP, unknowingly unleashing its most successful operating system ever. If they only could do the same today, the company's executives must think as they assemble for a day-long Windows 8 launch party.
[ InfoWorld's Woody Leonhard says forget Windows 8: Give us Windows 7.8. | Get ready for Windows 8 with the Windows 8 Deep Dive PDF special report, which explains the new direction for Windows, the Metro interface for tablet and desktop apps, the transition from Windows 7, and more. | Stay atop key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
"It was a good operating system," said David Johnson, an analyst with Forrester, in an interview today. "It was a very, very good operating system ... a superb OS because it removed a lot of pain."
So superb, in fact, that it continues to run on an enormous number of PCs across the globe. According to Web metrics firm Net Applications, Windows XP powered about 41 percent of all personal computers -- 45 percent of those running one form or another of Windows -- in September. Only the much newer Windows 7 has a bigger share, and that only recently: It wasn't until this August that Windows 7 passed XP to take the top spot.
By Forrester's count, said Johnson, 48 percent of enterprise PCs now run Windows 7. But 38 percent of their systems continue to rely on Windows XP. That last number is one Microsoft desperately wants -- has wanted, in fact, for over a year -- to drive to zero, preferably by getting customers to dump old hardware, upgrade to new machines and devices, and pick Windows 8 as their OS.
As far back as June 2011, a Microsoft manager claimed it was "time to move on" from XP, while even earlier that year an executive on the Internet Explorer team belittled XP as the "lowest common denominator" when he explained why the OS wouldn't run the then-new IE9.
What's the rush to dump the old XP?
On April 8, 2014, less than 18 months from now, Windows XP exits all support when it receives its final security update. From then on, most users of the OS will be exposed to attack from hackers exploiting new vulnerabilities that Microsoft simply won't patch. That's not the only problem. ISVs, or "independent software vendors," tech-speak for third-party developers, already have or will soon drop support for their XP programs.
But with so many machines still running the venerable XP, what's the chance that all users, particularly those in enterprises, will be off the OS in 18 months when Microsoft puts it out to pasture? Little or none, said Michael Silver, an analyst with Gartner.
"There's a good chance that 10 percent or 15 percent of organizations' PCs will still be on XP after support ends," said Silver in a Wednesday interview. "That wouldn't be atypical, actually, for a Windows operating system."

Smells like Chocolate Raspberry! It tastes good in my coffee when I want something that definitely has those old flavors I used to enjoy from Coffee-Mate, etc. I do think that one has to use a little more than clear Stevia to get both the flavor and sweetness.
OK, but

I find this to be a bit bitter. I do like the flavor, a change from the usual, but the ending notes are quite bitter to me. Would still buy.

Believe me I am ready to put that miserable showing out of my brain for good and move on to this weekends game against Texas. Sitting in that half empty Rose Bowl I could not believe what I was seeing and to a certain extent I still can't believe the way we played especially on defense against a team that seemed to move the ball at will. I remember thinking to myself if Stanford crushed these guys 57-3 what are they going to do against us on Oct 1? After cooling off at the conclusion of the game I decided to do a little research to take away something, anything positive from the disturbing debacle I had just witnessed. Here is what I discovered:
First off that 57-3 final between Stanford and San Jose might have been the most misleading box score of week 1. It looks impressive at first until you dig a little bit deeper. Consider first that the Spartans fumbled the ball 6 times of which they lost 3 of them . On offense Stanford gained only 373 total yards, well below their offensive numbers from last year when they only failed to gain under 400 yards of total offense 1 time. Our offense in comparison gained 417 yards of offense playing rather poorly and vanilla at times. Perhaps even more shocking is that Stanford rushed 40 times for only 141 net yards. That is a YPC of 3.5 against a San Jose State defense that was #117 in total defense last year and #104 in rush defense. Mind you this is a Stanford team with a good offensive line and penchant for playing smash mouth football under Harbaugh the previous year. Our Bruins on the other hand rushed 42 times for 272 yards at 6.5 YPC. So against the Spartans, the UCLA offense rushed the same amount of times and doubled both total yardage and YPC output. To me this is a positive. Cynics are going to say so what it was SJSU, we should destroy them like that on the ground. Fair enough but Stanford was not that successful rushing the same amount of times and with a better offensive line. Again I see this as a positive.
On defense we gave up 317 total yards to SJSU while Stanford gave up 237. Fairly even when you look at it at first glance, but concerning for us Bruin fans is the fact that SJSU did huge damage on the ground. Against Stanford SJSU rushed 32 times for 27 total rushing yards. That is a pathetic 0.8 YPC. Against UCLA however they rushed 29 times for 209 yards. That is a YPC of 7.0. This is totally unacceptable for the talent level we supposedly put on the field on that side of the ball.
Again to me a real positive is fact that we had the same number of rushes against SJSU that Stanford did only we doubled both total yards and YPC. And we did this with a reshuffled offensive line including the return of Jeff Baca and Greg Cappella playing for Sticky Icky Maivia.
But that defense...oh man that defense. They need to figure it out quickly and be the unit we all expected them to be. They have been the biggest disappointment so far in this early season. That is the thing to remember though. It is still early in the season and stats and final scores can be very misleading such as the 57-3 final from week 1 between Stanford and SJSU. It is great that this blog has a clearly defined "eye test" criteria for judging/assesing the teams performance because they certainly failed in that regard on Saturday, even if some of the offensive stats don't reflect that.
Here is hoping they make improvement this Saturday against Texas both in the stat sheet and in our eyes.

The motivation for this FanPost is this article from Jayson Stark, which he has just posted. I highly recommend the entire piece. The fascinating parts of it involve the studies now building about pitcher injuries. I had not heard of any of this previously.
There are generally two schools of thought out there about developing starting pitching (I'm gonna summarize liberally hear; clearly there are multiple variations on these themes):
- The Old School Method, espoused by guys like Leo Mazzone and Nolan Ryan. Continue to build up the arm strength of young pitchers, lengthening their outings and improving their durability consistently. The goal is to have pitchers go as long as possible.
- The Modern Method, which seems to be taking hold at all levels: limit pitch counts and innings of the youngsters until they have fully matured physically (maybe until around 25).
This Stark piece is fairly shocking in terms of the evidence that is apparently building to advocate rest - both for young arms and for recovering arms. I mention this specifically because of the Braves' recent cases of surgery: Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy. In context, you could also probably apply this to Ben Sheets, though his is a special case due to the work-outs he has already put himself through in preparation for pitching this year. However, he's also had more extensive surgery, so you can draw your own conclusions about how his arm could hold up.
Beachy had surgery on June 21st. Given normal recovery times, he might be ready to pitch again after the 2013 All-Star Break. That's interesting, as he might only be able to get 100-120 innings in over the remainder of next year. All other factors notwithstanding, that schedule could be important for his long-term outlook, if you buy the sources Stark cites.
Medlen has been "slow-rolled" into innings this year. He's now at 64.2 innings, and could project to anywhere from 100 to 125 innings, depending on how he's used down the stretch. Once again, this workload would be consistent with the article's research.
There are pitchers who are "horses" and can log 230+ innings per year, everything. The problem is how to tell which guys are the stalwart Clydesdales and which are the delicate racehorses. One could also look at this data and say "gee, a six-man rotation might be a real good idea to protect these guys." Also possible.
With that, I yield the floor: what do you think about what Stark wrote and how would you advocate handling our prized pitching prospects?

Hi, I'm Rick Vicich responding to Bill Applegate's city duped stadium deal.
I think that asking the city of Cleveland to contribute towards the upgrading of First Energy Stadium is a total waste of taxpayer money. I think that there are better ways to spend city funds.
Why not use the money to assist emergency people that have been laid off or repair roads and bridges? The city could use this money to update school buildings, repair Cleveland city school buses, or make it possible for the school district to employ more school crossing guards. We should invest in our schools because our children are the future.
Why not renovate buildings so that residents have access to additional free clinics? Or play areas for the children? Or centers to teach students?
I feel that the best way to spend this money would be to do more for the children of Cleveland. They are the future. Upgrading the stadium seems to be something that could wait.
Thank you.

CWA Criticizes RNC for Nightclub Expense
Concerned Women for America is asking the Republican National Committee to explain the party's expense for a $1,946.25 visit to a club with topless dancers and bondage outfits.
"As women we find the very idea of officials from either party conducting business inside an establishment that objectifies and demeans women outrageous," Penny Nance, the Chief Executive Officer of Concerned Women for America, said in a statement today.
Did they really agree to reimburse nearly $2,000 for a bondage-themed night club? We have several questions for the RNC: Why would a staffer believe that this is acceptable, and has this kind of thing been approved in the past?
Please explain to women if and why you think it is appropriate to attach your organizations to pornographic enterprises? Did you really swill drinks, ogle young girls and plan party business at this kind of establishment?
The RNC will be reimbursed by Erik Brown of Orange, Calif., the political consultant who expensed the committee for the February visit to the club, according to the Associated Press.
What, are republicans as godless as the democrats (and even more hypocrite about that)?
Seriously, when will evangelicals realize that both are just sides of the same coin and the serve the god of this world even when they parade as angels of light?
Christians, the joke is on you (I would say "us", but God in His grace took the blinders a while ago).
Shame on the RNC, and all who attend such events.
I wonder what CWA will do if the RNC ignores them?
Paul warned in I Cor. 15:33 - 'Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals."'

And this is why I'm glad not to be covering the District 3 2 (I screwed up again) County Supervisor race. The two big names in it are Nadia Lockyer (Bill's wife, pictured right) and Liz Figueroa (a former state senator, pictured left). Union City Mayor Mark Green and Hayward City Councilmember Kevin Dowling are also in the race, but it's not clear if they can play with the big girls.
Nadia Locker's campaign sent out a press release touting a lawsuit charging that Figueroa didn't accurate state her occupation in her ballot designation.
Figueroa said she's a "job developer/educator." The plaintiff, Suizi O. Lin, says Figueroa is a state appointee on the California Unemployment Appeals Board, which the plaintiff alleges has nothing to do with job development.
Figueroa is teaching politics part-time at Cal, which the Lockyer press release says is her basis for calling herself an educator.
A judge could order Figueroa to change her designation if he/she determines it's misleading.

A lot of teams have won 58+ games in a season. It's much harder to win only 58 games over three seasons.
Minnesota Timberwolves (17-54) vs. Dallas Mavericks (49-21) at American Airlines Center
There has been a lot of reminiscing on Canis Hoopus over the last week or so. For example, Mplax posted an entertaining video of a Wolves victory over Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls. Given the less-than-desirable result in the game against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, Kevin Love's injury and the prospects for the rest of the season, looking back on history has been more enticing for some than looking forward.
The Wolves have eleven games remaining this season.
Tonight, they play in Dallas. Over the next three weeks, the Wolves also face Oklahoma City, Memphis, New Jersey, Denver and Phoenix on the road, as well as Boston, Chicago, Miami, Phoenix and Houston at home. Only New Jersey has a losing record, and as it currently stands, the Nets are also the only team that has no chance to make the playoffs.
If the Wolves win only one game, they'll have 18 wins on the season and 33 over the past two seasons, which gives them a .201 win percentage. For reference, after the Philadelphia 76ers won only 9 games in '72-'73, they won 25 the following year, giving them a .207 win percentage over that time.
Anyone can be mediocre. It's much tougher to be this historically bad. Let's break down tonight's matchups:
Little known fact: David Kahn once called a timeout he didn't have during a difficult D-League board meeting.
Darko Milicic vs. Tyson Chandler
Darko is nowhere close to historically bad. He's not the worst #2 overall pick of all-time (hello, Sam Bowie). He's not the worst Wolves center of all-time (hello, Calvin Booth). He's nowhere close to the worst Serbian of all time (hello, Slobodan Milosevic).
He has played Tyson Chandler pretty evenly over their career matchups (provided you ignore rebounding and FG% numbers). I expect a performance tonight that will be responsible for less than 10 negative comments in the Game Thread. Count it.
Winner: Darko Milicic
Anthony Randolph is about to prove that anyone could've done what Kevin Love did this season.
Anthony Randolph vs. Dirk Nowitzki
72 games in and Anthony Randolph makes his first game preview as a starter. Of all of Mr. Randolph's career moments, this one has to rank right up there.
Tonight, Randolph will try to use his length and athleticism to bother Dirk Nowitzki. He's also going to have at least a 20/20 game. After all, let's face it, Kevin Love only grabbed so many rebounds because somebody had to. Kevin Love only has the scoring average he has because he's on a bad team. So, logic would suggest that Anthony Randolph should easily put up the same type of numbers. In fact, since Randolph is so much more athletic, Randolph should surpass Love's numbers.
I'm looking forward to the first article disproving that Anthony Randolph actually deserved his first 40/40 game.
Winner: Anthony Randolph
After being traded to Minnesota, Michael Beasley wanted to buy new luggage with the Wolves' team colors. Unfortunately, Beasley was unsure of what colors the Wolves actually wear. He's still only about 75% sure.
Michael Beasley vs. DeShawn Stevenson
Michael Beasley started off the season playing very good basketball. He hurt his ankle and has been less effective since that time but has still had some shining moments. Next season, I want to try something new: player/coach for Michael Beasley.
Whenever he's not in the game, Beasley can help Kurt Rambis coach the team. How great would it be if Beasley were drawing up plays in the huddle? Shouting encouragement from the sidelines? Telling the refs that they made a bad call?
We could mic him up for every game and only allow people in the stadium to hear the feed. Tell me you wouldn't want to go to a game just to hear that. Someone needs to make this a reality.
Winner: Player/Coach Michael Beasley
Wes just keeps Aaliyah's "Age Ain't Nothin' But a Number" on repeat.
Wesley Johnson vs. Rodrigue Beaubois
I didn't want to say anything, but I feel that I need to before things get out of hand...
This board is ageist.
"Wesley Johnson is too old." "He's past his prime (already)." "He has no chance at being useful."
Some have even compared him to Benjamin Button. Why doesn't Canis Hoopus just take field trips down to local nursing homes where we can shout obscenities at old people all day long? Botox sales in the Twin Cities are up 300% this year and I blame the increase on some of you readers. You probably have aging people, some as old as 24 and 25, coming onto this board, seeing these ageist remarks, and logging off of their computers thinking that they've lived long enough. Let's try to be a little more sensitive, okay guys?
Winner: Wesley Johnson
Whether high school, college or the pros, Luke Ridnour has winning in his genes. No, that's not a euphemism...I don't think.
Luke Ridnour vs. Jason Kidd
I wonder how it feels to be Luke Ridnour. You're the starting point guard for the best NBA team on the planet. Yet, you know that Ricky Rubio may be coming over soon, that Jonny Flynn will likely develop a little more and that the Wolves could draft either Kyrie Irving or Kemba Walker in the '11 Draft. It's like he's married, he knows that his wife is going to leave him for a younger, "more athletic" guy, and there's nothing he can do about it.
Nothing except play the best 10 games of his life.
I'm talking triple doubles. I'm talking playmaking. I'm talking that he'll play so well that Tom Ziller will write another article where he argues that a point guard who isn't Derrick Rose should win the MVP (though that article won't be quite as silly as the Westbrook one).
Maybe he can keep the spot after all.
Winner: Luke Ridnour
I'm not sure of the official name of this dance move, but I like to call it the "Why didn't you dunk that ball, Darko?!?" Dance.

In addition to mayoral elections, city council races, county-wide propositions and local bond elections, there are 16 constitutional amendments on the ballot. Few of them are sexy and most are designed to fix technicalities. Houston Mayor Bill White, who is himself running for re-election, says still people should know what they're voting on.
"I would urge voters to get informed about what's on the ballot, to read them carefully, to vote. I do not urge guessing."
With that in mind, here's a little tour of what voters will see on the ballot. There's the much publicized Proposition 15, a cancer research bond package. And there's Prop 4, a sort of catch-all bond that'll provide money for the Houston Crime Lab and restoring the Battleship Texas, among other things. And Rice University Political Science Professor Bob Stein says then there's the boring stuff.
"General obligation bonds to finance student loans - Number 2. Constitutional amendment authorizing legislature to provide appraisal value for residents or home ad valorem -- if a voter were reading this they'd have no idea. Construction projects for the public safety, youth commission and wildlife."
[Reporter] "I'm looking at my copy of the ballot here. What about Prop 10?"
[Laughter] "That's just a silly...so we have this Inspector of Hides and Animals and it's a technical change because the constitution wants to get rid of an office that for all intents and purposes doesn't exist any more. Remember this constitution was written initially in 1845 and ratified several times in the late 1800s and when we had hides and animal inspectors it was an important thing. Not necessary. There is no office. So get rid of it."
Of course, none of this is the kind of stuff that gets voters to turn out in droves. Secretary of State Phil Wilson projects an overall turnout of 9.5 percent, a number that's lower than normal for a non-gubernatorial election year. And Houston/Harris County will account for a large proportion of the overall vote. Laurie Johnson, Houston Public Radio News.

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Miami quarterback Stephen Morris, linebacker Gionni Paul, and linebacker Eddie Johnson headline a list of eight players named as the Atlantic Coast Conference Football Players of the Week, announced by the conference on Monday. Morris set a new conference single-game record with 566 passing yards, Paul accumulated a team-high 11 tackles, and Johnson had seven tackles, one sack, two forced fumbles, and a pass breakup in the Hurricanes' 44-37 win over NC State.
Florida State's Bryan Stork, the Offensive Lineman of the Week, helped the Seminole offense tally 424 yards of total offense in the 30-17 win at South Florida. Teammates Cornellius Carradine, who registered a team-high nine tackles to earn Defensive Lineman of the Week for the second time this year, and Dustin Hopkins, who moved into second on the all-time ACC scoring list, also garnered weekly accolades.
OFFENSIVE LINEMAN - Bryan Stork, Florida State, R-Junior, OL, 6-4, 312, Vero Beach, Fla.
Stork, the most experienced player on the Seminoles' offensive front, posted his second consecutive outstanding performance of the season in the 30-17 win at South Florida. The Vero Beach, Fla., native graded out at 77 percent and had just one missed assignment while triggering all 67 snaps for the Florida State offense. He was not penalized and did not yield a sack in a performance which came on the heels of a career-best 95-percent grade against Clemson. The Seminoles rolled up 424 yards of total offense (242 pass, 182 rush) in their road debut of the season.
DEFENSIVE LINEMAN - Cornellius Carradine, Florida State, Senior, DE, 6-5, 265, Cincinnati, Ohio
Carradine registered a team-high nine tackles, including 1.5 quarterback sacks and a forced fumble, as the defeated South Florida. The Seminoles limited USF to 124 total yards after the first quarter en route to moving to 5-0 on the season, 30-17. Carradine's late third quarter sack of USF back-up quarterback Matt Floyd resulted in a fumble, which teammate Christian Jones scooped up and raced 12 yards into the end zone for the Seminoles' final score of the game. Through five games, Carradine leads the Seminoles with 28 tackles and 7 sacks, while his eight tackles for loss trail teammate Bjoern Werner by one. It is the second weekly honor of the season for Carradine.
SPECIALIST - Dustin Hopkins, Florida State, Senior, K, 6-2, 190, Houston, Texas
Hopkins got off the deck after an early missed field goal from 48 yards to his final three attempts in the 30-17 win at South Florida. By converting from 26, 43 and 23 yards, Hopkins pushed his career field goal total to 69, which ranks second in Florida State and fourth in Atlantic Coast Conference history. With 12 points on the day, Hopkins also moved into sole possession of second place on the Florida State and ACC career scoring charts, with 377 points. He trails Florida State record holder Derek Schmidt and ACC record holder Nick Novak of Maryland by 16 points - they both finished with 393 - to become the all-time leader. Hopkins is also just eight points shy of moving into 10th place on the NCAA all-time scoring list.

I have been attempting to come off citalopram for the last couple of months and have been taking it very slowly as recommended. However, once I got down to 5mg (originally on 20mg per day) I started to experience severe feelings of vertigo. This can be a slight feeling of 'headiness' to full-on room-spinning. It is particulary bad when I make sudden eye movements and get a weird juddering, time-lag effect. Things are fine when I am not actually moving about too much.
I was so worried I saw my doctor but he completely dismissed my symptoms as just 'a bit of a coincidence' when I stressed that I had never experienced anything like it before. I decided to withraw even more slowly until I was on 5mg every 3rd day and have now been off the tablets completely for a week. So far the diziness is showing no signs of receding.
If anybody else has had similar problems, I would be very interested to hear about it and am particularly keen to know how long I can expect this weird state of affairs to last!
Thanks in anticipation…

Ella Kane is a regular 6-year-old who loves doing regular 6-year-old things, but like an increasing number of kids these days, little Ella has allergies.
"Guinea pigs, goats, horses, cats, dogs, nuts," she says.
But unlike most allergies, Ella's peanut allergy can be life-threatening, producing a condition called anaphylaxis.
"She will just stop breathing. Her throat will close up, she won't be able to get air," said Ella's mother Heather.
Doctor Eileen Talusan-Garcia is an allergist. She says allergic diseases are becoming more common, but they don't know why.
"The prevalence of allergic disease has seemed to have gone up over the past few years, but the reason for that is not entirely clear," Dr. Garcia said.
Dr. Garcia says only 10 in about 100,000 people may have this anaphylactic reaction.
"Avoidance is key, so identification of the triggers will be important. And then, once we have identified the triggers, then a certain plan of action should be carried out."
Dr. Garcia says common triggers include peanuts, shellfish, medications or insect stings.
Symptoms to look out for: hives, rash, redness or itching. They may even progress to throat construction, wheezing, difficulty breathing, and in more severe cases, drops in blood pressure, loss of consciousness and even shock.
Dr. Garcia says if that happens, an EpiPen must be administered immediately. An EpiPen holds Epinephrine - a medicine used specifically for anaphylaxis.
Heather has never had to use the EpiPen on Ella, but Angie Snapp has had to use it on her daughter, who is also allergic to peanuts.
"It's just something we have to deal with. So we always carry the EpiPens. We make sure they're at school. Any time she goes anywhere, we just always have to be prepared," Snapp said.
Snapp is a teacher in the Lubbock Cooper Independent School District and her daughter, now a freshman, has been going to Lubbock Cooper schools since kindergarten.
Snapp says she has always felt safe sending her daughter to these schools because they have a detailed anaphylaxis action plan.
Kristy Rose, RN & BSN, is the coordinator of health services for Lubbock Cooper ISD. She says they really step up and manage food allergies among their students.
"We want all parents to come and talk to the nurse and rely on that nurse because our nurses are great here at Lubbock Cooper," Rose said.
The Lubbock Cooper allergy management plan is available on their website at http://www.lcisd.net/pages/LCISD.

Spring is a good time to bring people's attention to the "Easter Challenge" popularized by Dan Barker. Although not necessarily a decisive argument against the validity and coherency of Christianity, it does serve as a pointed reminder that traditional, orthodox Christian beliefs have a lot of problems with them.
Author or "Losing Faith In Faith: From Preacher To Atheist" and PR director for the Freedom From Religion Foundation, Dan Barker is a former preacher who now spends his time promoting both freethought and the separation of church and state. In an effort to draw people's attention to the contradictions and conflicts in traditional Christian beliefs, he has proposed a deceptively simple challenge: "tell me what happened on Easter. I am not asking for proof. My straightforward request is merely that Christians tell me exactly what happened on the day that their most important doctrine was born."
Ostensibly it's a simple request, but as I observed it is deceptively simple. The hard work involved is made apparent by the parameters Baker sets: "In each of the four Gospels, begin at Easter morning and read to the end of the book: Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, and John 20-21. Also read Acts 1:3-12 and Paul's tiny version of the story in I Corinthians 15:3-8. These 165 verses can be read in a few moments. Then, without omitting a single detail from these separate accounts, write a simple, chronological narrative of the events between the resurrection and the ascension: what happened first, second, and so on; who said what, when; and where these things happened."
That Christians should make use of all of the accounts of Jesus' resurrection on the first Easter morning is perhaps obvious. What's more significant, however, is the fact that nothing can be omitted. Not a single described event, encounter, or statement. Why is this condition so important?
According to Barker, the challenge cannot be met successfully without omitting a few things - otherwise, there will be obvious and unacceptable contradictions in the final story. Technically, omissions shouldn't be a problem. All we need to do is conclude that what we are omitting is erroneous or spurious - that author got that particular bit of the story wrong.
This shouldn't be a problem, but it is. For one thing, fundamentalists and inerrantists cannot make such an admission - for them, every last detail in the entire Bible is true. To admit that something must not be true, especially where it concerns the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ, would contradict one of their fundamental religious dogmas. That just isn't going to happen.
An admission that portions of the Bible may be in error also presents a problem for more liberal Christians as well. Once it is acknowledged that some aspect of the resurrection account is mistaken, it becomes a bit more difficult to uphold the idea that any other particular aspect is necessarily true. Perhaps it is, but then again perhaps it isn't.
No longer can a Christian simply rely upon the authority of the Bible to justify belief in the historicity of the resurrection, for now it has been accepted that the Bible is a flawed authority, even on such critical events as those which occurred on the first Easter. When an authority is revealed as fallible in such a way, it is justified for outsiders to expect independent validation and support for the key claims - and there doesn't appear to be any such support for the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
According to Barker, few Christians who are willing to be skeptical of the alleged miralces of other religions have made a serious effort to validate the central miracle of their own faith - and none of them have succeeded in meeting this challenge. So what's a Christian to do? I'd like to see someone successfully meet this challenge - but, if they are not able, it would probably be better if they stopped insisting on the historicity of Jesus' resurrection.

Australian lawyer and U.N. war crimes investigator Michael Hourigan was given the task of investigating the assassination of the Rwandan and Burundian presidents by shooting their plane out of the sky over Kigali on April 6, 1994. His evidence that Gen. Paul Kagame had ordered the assassinations was suppressed. Hourigan's death this week went unnoted by the press.
August 24, 2012
On Aug. 17, Rwandans, Congolese and international criminal attorney Christopher Black delivered a complaint and documentary evidence to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, calling for Rwandan President Paul Kagame to be investigated for war crimes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
April 23, 2010
Rwandan opposition presidential candidate Madame Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, Rwanda's first female presidential candidate, was released on bail one day after being jailed by the Kagame government of Rwanda. "Ingabire was arrested on trumped-up, political thought crimes," asserted law professor Peter Erlinder, one of Ingabire's U.S. lawyers.

If you want the best ice rink in your town or for your event, complete the contact form and we will contact you to discuss the options, with no obligation.
Ice fun
Official ice hockey rink
Long distance ice track
André Rieu World Stadium Tour
Our ice rinks are available in different sizes to fit all kinds of events, from a temporary seasonal rink, a Grand Oval speedskating 400 metre rink, a long distance ice track to a professional IIHF certified ice hockey rink: together we make it happen.
If you want to hire an ice rink made of real ice, an energy-conscious, green and environmentally friendly ice rink, easy to set up and dismantle, and also suitable for warmer temperatures, then you have come to the right address as Ice-World produces and supplies mobile ice rinks since 1992.Since 2009, Ice-World annually purchases green energy from both Dutch and foreign wind turbines. In this way, we compensate the energy consumption that is needed for powering our mobile ice rinks worldwide.Ice-World International - famed among other things for the largest ice rink in the world, FlevOnice at Biddinghuizen in the Netherlands, rents out around 600 portable ice rinks every year via its network of dealers in some 40 countries on all continents.
A study by TNO and its German counterpart TÜV reveals that Ice-World rinks are up to 40 percent more economical in terms of energy consumption than traditional ice rinks that use either rubber or polyethylene.This is possible thanks to the patented system whereby the ice surface is frozen by aluminium tubes. This metal is a better conductor, which means that less energy is necessary. Furthermore, the tubes lie in the water, so less energy leaches away via the cold floor. For chilling, Ice-World uses the environmentally friendly polypropylene glycol, which is almost 100% re-used. More information about our product range and environmetal policy can be found on our product page.
Furthermore, using its extensive world wide dealer network, Ice-World provides support, service and advice of the highest professional standard throughout the entire process. The Ice-World dealers have built up considerable expertise through years of experience in this field, and are available day and night for direct assistance.Read through the information on this website, and if you have any questions about renting an ice rink or would like us to give you a price quote, please feel free to contact us.
Next to our mobile ice rinks, we have invented and developed a summer product, the PlayFountain® , the first mobile water play attraction composed of numerous boxes leading to a 100 m2 water park. Many pre-programmed games can be played and the challenge is playing with water and trying to stay dry at the same time! Please read more on www.playfountain.com

Day two in the trial for a Jackson County man charged with manslaughter in a car race accident was a relatively short day of testimony.
One of the prosecution's witnesses was unable to show, but they were able to get in three witnesses before breaking around lunch time.
Prosecutors resumed putting on witnesses in their case against 30-year-old Franklin Delano Mullens of Scottsboro, who is charged with reckless manslaughter.
Prosecutors contend his actions while racing led to the death of 53-year-old Thomas Glenn Frazier of Pinson.
Mullens and 40-year-old Dewayne Pittman were racing their Ford mustangs in the northbound lane of Highway 79 just south of Scottsboro on July 8, 2011.
Mullens pulled ahead of Pittman, but prosecutors believe Pittman missed his shift and lost control into the southbound lane, hitting Frazier's Chevy truck.
Both Frazier and Pittman died.
The defense admits Mullens was speeding and racing, but his vehicle did not touch either of the other vehicles and did not cause the wreck.
Prosecutors are expected to resume their case Wednesday morning with an expert witness.

I still have yet to see a reliable source that puts the cougars in the lonely independent bracket. I know every 'news' organization ran with the story but the sources are fishy at best to me. I mean, the sources they listed were at USU and the WAC office, in theory they could have known something, but I'm more inclined to believe that BYU may have talked to the WAC as part of the due diligence of exploring thier options that Holmoe talked about them doing over a month ago. One thing seems certain as the smoke clears today, those 'sources' in the WAC office are likely losing their jobs this morning.
Ok, on to the reasons why BYU should stay.
1. Being independent is ridiculously difficult to manage. It's a constant scheduling difficulty trying to land enough decent teams that are willing to go home and home would be a full time job for several individuals and you'd still likely end up with a bunch of patsies looking to make a paycheck as opposed to powerhouse teams. If you'll get off your arrogant power trip you'll see that in fact you're not Notre Dame and you aren't going to get special treatment from teams wanting to schedule you, or from the BCS. You might make a bit more money, but you might also make less. This is at best a gamble and you know the church discourages gambling. ;)
2. At this point there is nowhere to land your non-revenue sports. The WAC is broken, and make no mistake if it does survive it will be a shadow of the conference it was a year ago. The WAC is no longer an option, period. That would mean your best bet would be the WCC. Which, lets face it, is a HUGE drop down from the MWC. It's essentially joining a conference with a bunch of junior colleges. BYU considering going to the WCC is like Florida considering joining the Sun Belt. It's ridiculous.
3. You're already accomplishing you're main goial of getting increased exposure. If the reports can believed about Craig Thompson's visit with Comcast can be trusted, they agreed that they wanted to get the Mountain into more markets. "Thompson spoke after returning from a meeting in Philadelphia with Comcast and CBS officials, who said they wanted the league and its television network -- The Mtn. -- to reach more markets." Read, "Oh noes we're going to lose our investment on this thing, we better work a bit harder so we don't lose out completely." Comcast/CBS does not want to lose BYU, like it or not BYU is one of the largest draws in the MWC where tv is concerned. Congratulations cougars, your posturing has actually helped the conference put itself in a better position. (maybe this is what BYU wanted all along who knows) Now move as a group to extend your advantage and restructure that awful deal. And while you're at it add Houston to the mix so that you can have a championship game. This new found position of strength should allow the MWC to increase it's monetary take from the TV deal as well as making more markets available to you. Another thing to consider is the possibility of using the broadcasting assets you've been bragging about as a bargaining chip in the improved deal. Everyone knows (now) that you have better facilities than Comcast/CBS, allow them to use them for certain games and charge them for it, get the best MWC games delivered in HD in an expanded footprint.
4. AQ status is a real possibility. I know it hurt to watch Utah leave. But try to put the emotions aside and look at this objectively. At the end of last fall the MWC was essentially ahead at half time in the 4 year evaluation cycle. The MWC is ranked 3rd in two of the three categories used to evaluate the conferences, and seventh in the other. Ranking ahead of both the Big East, ACC, and the Pac 10 in the two former. Losing Utah and gaining Boise is essentially a push. Adding Fresno and Nevada likely will strengthen you somewhat in the final category allowing you to be very close in all categories. Adding Houston probably wouldn't change much but it may also help a little in this area. Also, with BYU, TCU, BSU, Fresno, and Houston in the fold, the MWC would essentially have every school that has come close to busting the BCS except Hawaii and Utah. But please, no one talk about adding Hawaii, the prospect is just ridiculous and if you don't know why you're clearly not aware of the reasons the MWC was formed in the first place. Now, you've got the pieces, just be patient for 2 years. You'll have a great shot at AQ status, and if things are close apply for an exemption. The BCS will likely grant it in order to avoid massive negative exposure and possible involvement of congress if it looks like they're trying to shaft you in the process.
If you don't qualify for AQ, you can still consider independence then. Heck, if the MWC doesn't get in, I'll help you pack your bags. But don't screw this up for everyone just because you're impatient. Remember, patience is a virtue.

Another very good remake. Not as good as the Big Sky one mind. The Hiver & Hammer remix of Yet another Day and also Yet Another Suburban Train are soo good
Armin van Buuren track... ( with his brother on guitars ) nice remix...
Wow that drop is chaos

Oakei showing that proper trance today isnt boring, predictable or cheesy. It can still be powerful, melodic and euphoric without a supersaw type melody or a "degga degga" bassline. And it has aboslutly nothing to do with the sound that the likes of Emery, A&B, Arty et al all push!

Crizotinib Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Warnings
Crizotinib is also known as: Xalkori
Crizotinib Pregnancy Warnings
Animal studies have revealed evidence of embryofetotoxicity, but have failed to reveal evidence of teratogenicity. There are no adequate and well controlled data in human pregnancy. If crizotinib is used during pregnancy or if the patient becomes pregnant during treatment, the patient should be advised of the potential hazard to the developing fetus. No specific studies with crizotinib have been conducted in animals to evaluate the effect on fertility; however, crizotinib is considered to have the potential to impair reproductive function and fertility in humans based on findings from toxicity studies in the rat. Findings included testicular pachytene spermatocyte degeneration in male rats and single-cell necrosis of ovarian follicles in female rats. FDA pregnancy category D: There is positive evidence of human fetal risk based on adverse reaction data from investigational or marketing experience or studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.
FDA pregnancy category: D Use of crizotinib should be avoided. Comments: Women of childbearing potential and men who are receiving this drug should be advised to use appropriate contraceptive measures during crizotinib therapy and for at least 90 days after discontinuation of crizotinib.

The American Colonization Society (its full name was the American Society for Colonizing the Free People of Color of the United States) arranged for its first wave of colonizers to head for what is now Liberia in 1820. Along with the 86 ex-slaves (of whom only a third or so were adult men) were three white ACS agents (the membership of the ACS was predominantly white, and many came from the Southern states, hoping to induce freed slaves to emigrate to Africa).
The Elizabeth was accompanied on its voyage to Africa by an American sloop, the USS Cyane. Stopping first at Sierra Leone, they then sailed south to what is now the coast of Liberia and built a settlement. They were unsuccessful in convincing the local chiefs to part with land, and opted instead to settle the uninhabited Scherbo Island.
Amongst the agricultural supplies they brought were 100 muskets and two cannon, to be used to pacify the locals. Within the month 22 of the African American ex-slaves and all the three white ACS agents were dead of yellow fever. The remainder returned to Sierra Leone, to await the arrival of a further wave of colonizers sent by the ACS (which arrived a year later).

I can think of no more superlative recommendation for this recipe than its title. I'm happy eating it every day of asparagus season, at almost any time of the day or night.
1. For the vinaigrette, whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, and mustard together in a small bowl. Add the garlic. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, then stir in the diced tomato. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let mellow at room temperature at least 30 minutes.
2. Blanch, steam, or microwave the asparagus just until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain. Arrange the hot asparagus on a serving platter and pour the vinaigrette over all. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Let sit at least 10 minutes before serving. The asparagus may be served warm or at room temperature. I often make it about 30 minutes ahead of serving and let it sit while I attend to the rest of my meal.
Nutrients per serving (% daily value)
This recipe serves 8. Nutritional information includes 1/8 teaspoon of added salt per serving.

I like your party's style, Moreta...
This story is much longer, and told as a story rather than in Garrett's memory.
or, Still confused
SpoilerSo, Candlekeep finally heard about our impersonation.
Still, all wasn't lost. Candlekeep forgave such trespasses in exchange for a contribution to their library-and I was fairly certain I had one. A tome I found in the flooded ruins had contained rather more than I thought-it described elemental summoning rituals that were well beyond my ability to cast. Still, I had been taking notes, so perhaps I wouldn't entirely lose the knowledge contained...the question was how we could get to the Keep before being attacked by bounty hunters.
That day, we walked into town and found that the former adventurers that ran and protected the town had arranged a information post in the town square. Among the more mundane things, we found a challenge. Each member of that party had placed an artifact in the deepest parts of the many so-called dungeons nearby.
More importantly, we found ourselves. We were WANTED FOR THE IMPERSONATION OF CANDLEKEEP SCHOLARS. The bounty on our heads was...well...shockingly high. It wasn't enough to tempt anyone we knew, and I was thanked Mystra for that, believe me! It's one of the few times I was grateful that the student wizards in the academy here thought I was more like a warlock than a sorcerer.
Eh? No, I'm not a warlock. Now hush.
"So...we have a price on our heads." Jack was looking at the price with an expression I wasn't happy with.
"Yes...we'll need to figure out how to get there without someone trying to take it."
After a few moment's thought, we made a plan, of sorts. We would meet back at the local bar.
So, Touchstone and Jack went on their errands. I, meanwhile went to check the armor shop that had opened in our absence. With a little luck, I could buy a robe or similar bearing a glamer. I was in for several more surprises that day. First, finding that the shop owner was a dwarf...one I'd met before...
"Oh no."
"You're the one that stole for my camp! AND RAN AWAY!"
"Then give it back!"
"Yes, yes, of course..."
He seemed mollified by that. A little.
"I lost my career because of you."
"I know, I'm sorry that-"
"So, you'll be paying half again the price of anything you buy here. You AND your friends. Now...what were you here for?"
"An undershirt or robe with a glamer-spell."
"And...you came to an armor shop for that?"
Oh, don't look at me like that. I study the arcane, not the anvil.
He sold me what I needed. It cost me everything I had, though. I made the glamer appear as a robe with a hood and mask that covered my face. It would keep me from being identified easily.
So, Jack and I went to the bar and sat to discuss how we would proceed. The next thing I knew was blackness. All I could see was that I was standing in a magic circle of some kind, and a person in a robe covered with an eye motif.
"Do you know where you are?"
"Good. We have heard that you can contribute to the library."
Yes, I was in Candlekeep. Confused? So was I, believe me! In any case, I handed over my research. The book I keep my spell notes in he handed back with a contemptuous look. The elemental tome, however, he took away. I don't know how long I was down there, but it felt like hours. Eventually, I was taken before an circle of people in similar, but obviously more formal eye-robes. What did they do to me, you ask. Heh heh heh heh...they offered me a job! So, not only did they forgive our party of our crimes, they went and hired me to add too their library! Oh, what a day that was...I never did dare tell that poor dwarf I really was a scholar.
As far as how he got there...
SpoilerTouchstone the monk went to the wizard that ran the academy. It was a Red Wizard who really hated the party, since we tended to interuppt either his class or his breaks...Anyway, the player changed his mind about paying him for a teleport when he heard the cost...so the wizard stole the money/goods that added up to the cost (plus a bit), then teleported him to Candlekeep against his will. From there, a Candlekeep mage grabbed Garrett. Oh, we had a ball that session...

Eden villagers fighting erection of fence at common follow in footsteps of their 18th century fore-fathers
9:00pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in News By Faye Greenwell, Reporter
VILLAGERS who launched an e-petition against plans to erect a fence across an Eden common were amazed to discover they were following in the footsteps of their 18th century forefathers.
Householders at Fell End, near Ravenstonedale, lodged an e-petition with the Secretary of State for the Environment against a proposal by Natural England to erect a fence on Greenriggs Common.
Since the launch of the e-petition, the existence of an historic petition, which is not dated but considered to be around 1770, has come to light.
The parchment is addressed to the House of Lords and signed by 91 landowners from the Parish of Ravenstonedale against a proposal to enclose common land.
Local campaigner Libby Bateman said: "I was explaining the process of an e-petition to a friend who is in her 90s when she offered a casual comment about a petition in the 1700s.
"I thought it worth investigating. I asked at the local history society but nobody knew anything about it. I then asked a friend who has an interest in local history and she offered to do some research.
"She then came back with two document reference numbers at Kendal Archive office.
"The best I hoped for was to find some reference to the petition, so you can imagine my delight when I visited the archives office and found the actual document, written on parchment.
"This is a really important find for our campaign, as it was the power of the people that prevented the common from being enclosed 240 years ago, which is why Ravenstonedale Common was never enclosed; something that is celebrated today as it makes our area so enjoyable for recreational activities and attracts visitors to the area.
"We have a duty to continue the wishes of our forefathers and protect the openness of our common land for generations to come."
Local historian Ann Sandell said: "I was delighted to be able to help. It must have been quite something for the commoners of the past to go up against the landowners and prevent enclosure. We certainly all need to stand up for what we believe to be right."
Photographs of the petition have been submitted to the local archives held by Ravenstonedale History Society at the High Chapel Heritage Centre.

Maneli Jamal – The Lamaj Movement
6 Jul
Aside from making wonderful music on his guitar, one of the reasons many are attracted to Maneli Jamal's music is the story of his family's journey. For his second album The Lamaj Movement, Maneli decided to tell that story through music.
One of the things that makes this work is that by default Maneli's compositions tend to be more like tone poems than regular songs . So even if you're not aware of the concept behind the album,you still get the feeling that there's a story being told.
Album-opener "Awakening" is the perfect example of this, serving as an overture for both the four-movement suite it's a part of and the album as a whole. A percussive intro with harmonics leads to melodious passages, peaceful moments, and a chordal climax with some surprising dissonances.
These dissonances are explored further on the second movement "Lamaj", which starts off with a floating melody full of middle-eastern colors. Then the rhythm kicks in and things build to a powerful crescendo. I have to commend Maneli for his use of different sounds and attacks which add some real vitality to his music.
Things get really interesting with "On the Run," which starts off with some pitchless tapping before the ominous music comes in. This one really made me feel like I was listening to a movie soundtrack. Stylistically, it also felt like a nod towards Maneli's Italian label-mates, Stefano Barone and Sergio Altamura.
Other great tracks include the soulful ballad "Homespun" and the upbeat "Klingerstrasse." My favorite is probably "Us Against Them" which begins with a slow, heartfelt intro, and then when you least expect it, settles on a wonderful groove. Maneli somehow manages to always keep the pulse going throughout, sometimes making me wonder how exactly he's pulling it off.
Overall this is a great album, and the story and emotion behind it only make its impact stronger. It's also a step up in every way from his debut album: not only is the recording quality noticeably improved, but Maneli is obviously evolving as a guitarist and composer.

AA Importing
AA Importing is one of the leading manufacturers in their industry. a.A.A. Importing Company, Inc. was founded in 1934 by A.A. Gralnick in the Gas Light Square area in St. Louis, MO. It began as a distributor for kerosene lamp parts and accessories. Prior to and after World War II, A.A. Importing was heavily involved in the importation of fine crystal and art glass, as well as fine porcelain from Europe. The company became famous for its fine selection of art glass and accessories for the antique trader as well as replacement parts. That was the beginning of building a strong foundation for A.A. Importing in the antique reproduction business.
By the mid seventies, with a broad basis of porcelain, glassware, iron, brass and ceramics, A.A. Importing was the leading company in the world in the field of antique reproductions. Starting in 1974 the company took its extensive knowledge of antique and popular styles and adapted it to the manufacturing of small furniture items. The items that were first brought to the market included Bentwood hat racks, corner 'what-nots', marble top plant stands and round oak tables these were just some of the first's that A.A. Importing had produced.
As the nation developed an even greater interest in decorating with an antique theme, A.A. Importing was again at the forefront. Today their sources of antique reproductions have expanded world wide.
A.A. Importing services a wide spectrum of diverse customers. The mediums of products we work in include wood, iron, porcelain, bronze, crystal as well as glassware and stained glass items.
In addition to their standard products A.A. Importing custom designs and produces exclusive designs for their customers; mass merchants and retail and discount stores.
