Listeners weigh in on John's raccoon problemNovember 25, 2013 @ 1:01 pm (Updated: 4:58 pm - 11/25/13 )
Now, John Curley is trying to trap that raccoon, but he's not quite sure what to do with it when/if he succeeds.
His neighbor, who lent him the trap, says he ought to give it a lead sandwich.
"The thought of firing the .38 that I have at the house into the trap scared me because I knew that the neighbors would calls the cops, 'shots fired,' cops would show up 'City councilmen kills raccoon.' I don't need that sort of headache."
So John posed the question to you:
Jeremy in Seattle wrote:
Best thing is to drown it. Or you could gas it with vehicle exhaust. I say shoot it. If you gas it, be careful not to kill yourself. If you drown it you may be surprised, it can take a while. Cheers.
Gary in Bonney Lake:
A number of years ago I called the wildlife department to ask what to do with Possums and raccoon. I was told not to let anyone see me but I should dispose of the possum. The raccoon I should transport at least 10 miles away. He said if I transported the raccoon any closer he would beat me home. I've since trapped and relocated about 15 to 18 possums and maybe 5 raccoon.
Sue in Tacoma:
Make sure the door to the trap is secure, then gently drop the trap into a plastic garbage can full of water. It is the most humane way to dispose of a destructive critter. We employed this tactic w/ eastern gray squirrels & possums. If the door to your trap is NOT secure, I can tell you that Rocky Raccoon will come shooting out at you like the Washington Health Care commercial. If all goes well, Rocky's demise will be complete in about 2 minutes.
Lynn in Seattle:
I would suggest that you just release it in a nice location far away from humans and don't make a big deal out of it. Usually from the animal's viewpoint the worry is that you are releasing them into an area that another raccoon has made its territory. But I think if it is already a wild savvy raccoon it will work it out. Please don't kill it - that is not necessary.
Raymond in Bremerton:
First of all John, if the raccoon is still alive you are using the wrong trap. I used to trap as a young fellow back in Pennsylvania and I would use a "conibear trap." Once that trap was set off life was never in question. It did no damage to the critter. I would then skin it, give the carcass to some local folk for dinner, [and use the skin for] pair of gloves or some other type of warm clothing.
Robert in Seattle:
It is illegal to NOT live trap raccoons and squirrels in Washington.
No names please in BI WA:
Coons. Nasty little things. They always trash my corn crop the day before I want to pick it. Knock it down, take one bite, move on to the next. Grrr. I live trap them and transport them across the Agate Pass Bridge. At least I did until I met a guy from Suquamish who live trapped them and moved them across the bridge in my direction. We may have been shuttling the same animal back and forth all these years.
Collins in Seattle:
I'm originally from Kentucky. The easiest way to take down a raccoon humanely (and not have to deal with gassing it from your car, seriously who said that?)is to setup a box with a ball of tinfoil on the inside -- the trap needs bars of some sort so the raccoon can reach in and grab the tinfoil ball (they love shiny crap) -- and when they try and pull the ball out they won't be able to. Raccoons won't let the ball go, they'll sit there just trying to pull the ball out constantly. If it was me and they were killing my chickens I'd shoot it but if you want to do the nice thing, drive it miles and miles away.
Anne in we don't know:
Tom is right. I'm sorry, but you need to build a more secure pen. Where there has been one raccoon, there will be many. You're going to have more after you get rid of this one.
Eric in Bothell:
This is easy; first you contact the department of game and asked them to apprehend the raccoon and take care of the problem. If the local Department of Game will not help, then you capture the raccoon in your cage and release it in the parking lot of the local Department of Game.

Posted: 9:18 p.m. MST
The Grinch may have paid an early visit this year, after hackers stole credit card information from potentially 40 million target customers nationwide over the holiday season.
This has put many shoppers on high alert while they finish up their last minute Christmas shopping.
But in case the Grinch stole you're Christmas, experts have a few tips on what to do if you are a victim of identity theft.
1.) Report it to the police.
2.) Contact your credit reporting agency.
3.) Contact federal trade commission and file a complaint.
4.) Report it to your bank.
While experts say it's difficult to avoid hackers, there are some ways to protect yourself.
"Never carry more than one credit card in your purse because a purse can be stolen," said Janet Torricellas the Director at the Yuma branch of the Better Business Bureau. "Social Security cards, try not to keep them in your wallets. And when you're giving out personal information, try to make sure who you are giving it to and what they are going to be using it for."
Stores are not the only place these hackers target. Consumers should also be aware of telemarketers.
"Marketing callers do call consumers requesting personal information posing as a bank. Do not give your personal information especially over the phone," added Torricellas.

This is the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which means it is the day after Cyber Monday and the end of the busiest gift buying weekend of the year. So it should come as no surprise that there's a bit of a lull when it comes to DVD / Blu-ray releases. In fact, the biggest selling film of the week doesn't come out till Saturday. There are still more than a few releases that are worth checking out, including this week's Pick of the Week, Fantasia / Fantasia 2000 on Blu-ray / DVD Combo Pack. However, there is no real depth to this week's list and the drop from top tier to second tier is fast and steep.
There were just a ton of films to reach the $10,000 mark on the per theater chart over the weekend, led by The Romantics with an average of $22,764 in two theaters. However, with its reviews, it probably won't last long. Heartbreak opened in second place with an average of $17,543 in three theaters, but it will likely have better legs. Ahead of Time and My Dog Tulip were neck-and-neck with $12,790 and $12,648 respectively. Finally, Dabangg opened with more than $600,000 in 62 theaters for an average of $10,131.
Leading the way on the per theater chart this weekend was Cairo Time with a healthy average of $13,249 in five theaters. The only other film to top $10,000 on the per theater chart was Avatar. Yes, that Avatar. It played in just one theater over the weekend and earned $10,511.
There are a lot of films on this week's column, but ironically, it feels like there are not that many true limited releases. Of the eight films below, more than half are opening in a dozen or more theaters. Two of them are opening in more than 200 theaters, which is generally far too many for a limited release. Even more troubling, only half are earning overall positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, which could be devastating at the box office.

Eau Claire, WI 54702-4004
UW-Eau Claire Hosts Pre-Collegiate
Program for American Indian Students
(715) 836-4741
(715) 836-2900
MAILED: July 29, 1999
EAU CLAIRE For the first time, UW-Eau Claire hosted a pre-collegiate program geared only toward American Indians.
"Typically we haven't had Indians participate in our other pre-collegiate programs," Marge Hebbring, American Indian student services coordinator, said of the July 19-23 program.
Hebbring, along with Patti Gardner, decided to start the camp. For the first year, they decided it would be easiest to focus just on one tribe.
"We found that for American Indian students, it was important to incorporate their language," said Hebbring, adding that each tribe has its own language so it's easiest to concentrate on one tribe.
In the years to come they hope to expand the camp to other tribes.
"We both have Indian backgrounds and we've done camps together before," Gardner said, noting that the women worked so well together that they decided to start their own camp to focus on recruiting American Indian students to UW-Eau Claire.
They chose the Ho-chunk tribe because the education director of the Ho-chunk nation, Scott Beard, graduated from UW-Eau Claire.
Beard helped recruit 18 seventh- and eighth-grade students to attend the first All-Ho-chunk Black River Falls Seventh- and Eighth-Grade Group, as the students chose to call it.
For two days in March, the 18 students came to campus for an introduction. Then for one day in May and for one day in June, Hebbring and Gardner went to Black River Falls to meet with the people there.
While on campus in July, the group's textbook was "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" by Sean Covey.
"We basically focused on the seven habits so they could go back to school and operate on a higher level," Hebbring said.
Gardner said the point was to show them what it's like to be on campus and to make them feel comfortable so they will want to attend UW-Eau Claire.
"The goal is to get the American Indian students on campus and retain them," said Gardner, adding that currently there are about 90 American Indian students enrolled at the university.
The camp was specifically intended for seventh- and eighth-graders to connect with them early.
"Some kids that age don't have plans for life yet," Hebbring said. "By getting them to this camp it helps them think, 'What am I going to do after I graduate from high school?'"
Tasha King, a student at the camp, said she's definitely going to come to UW-Eau Claire for college now that she's experienced it through camp.
With the pilot program considered a success, Hebbring and Gardner have asked for permission to do a camp like it next year and Beard has already approved the program. As early as next year, Hebbring and Gardner plan to offer the camp to other tribes as well.

Posted on September 3, 2013
Fairfax, Va. – Twenty-one state attorneys general have co-signed an amicus brief filed by Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange in support of the National Rifle Association's challenge against a federal law that restricts the sale of handguns to young adults aged 18 – 20. The case, National Rifle Association of America, Inc., et. al. v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, et al., seeks to end the federal prohibition of young adults to purchase handguns from federally licensed dealers.
"Young adults, many of whom have fought and sacrificed life and limb for their country, should not be prohibited from fully exercising their fundamental Right to Keep and Bear Arms," said Chris W. Cox, executive director of NRA's Institute for Legislative Action. "The Second Amendment should receive no less respect than our other enumerated constitutional freedoms."
Attorney General Strange's brief notes that most states allow 18-20 year old adults to exercise this aspect of their Second Amendment rights, and "yet Congress has sought to withdraw this liberty from the same class of people." The history of the Founding era makes clear that 18 year olds were considered adults in regards to the Right to Keep and Bear Arms; for example, the Militia Act of 1792 required 18 year olds to "be enrolled in the militia" and to arm themselves accordingly.
The states joining Alabama in the amicus brief are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
"The NRA has been engaged in this ongoing fight for years – in Congress, in state legislatures, and in the courts – and we will not rest until the Right of every law-abiding American to Keep and Bear Arms is fully protected by our nation's laws," concluded Cox.
-NRA-Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is America's oldest civil rights and sportsmen's group. More than four million members strong, NRA continues to uphold the Second Amendment and advocates enforcement of existing laws against violent offenders to reduce crime. The Association remains the nation's leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the armed services. Be sure to follow the NRA on Facebook at www.facebook.com/NationalRifleAssociation and on Twitter @NRA.
Established in 1975, the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) is the "lobbying" arm of the National Rifle Association of America. ILA is responsible for preserving the right of all law-abiding individuals in the legislative, political, and legal arenas, to purchase, possess and use firearms for legitimate purposes as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.READ MORE

TOP 5 Manga Finale
Written by Benzaie Monday, 05 July 2010 22:44
07.05.2010 - 23:09 | WilltheMagicAsianWoah.
07.05.2010 - 23:18 | Just JoshingSome great choices, Berserk is easily in my top 3.
Though mine would probably go:
1. One Piece
2. Dragonball Z
3. Berserk
07.05.2010 - 23:19 | GreatNocturn357
07.05.2010 - 23:23 | GLKnight
07.05.2010 - 23:25 | Ditty
07.05.2010 - 23:27 | Camseyeviewwell a cool little fact for the anime of Berserk is that Susume Hirasawa does the song "forces"
he is very famous for songs like the opening to Paranoia Agent and "Parade" from Paprika
07.05.2010 - 23:30 | MrWezlum18 - I anticipate the end of Berserk as much as I dreadI probably wouldn't have gone to the trouble of looking for any of these manga. If they are so good that the only thing that beats them is Berserk, then I am more than sold. I was intro introduced to Berserk by watching hbi2k and Lanipator's videos, and I am eternally grateful to them because before I read Berserk I thought a great manga had to be as good as Bleach. My standard as quintupled plus 10 since then.
07.05.2010 - 23:55 | George - Terrible ConfessionI confess, I almost stopped reading [i]Berserk[/i], not because it was bad, but because Guts was so evil when the manga started out, he made a slug monster who sacrificed countless people look like a good person. I persisted, and I've been thankful ever since, it's a masterpiece.
The only problem is that, at the beginning, Miura doesn't give people any reason to think that Guts isn't an irredeemable bastard, and a lot of people could get the wrong idea about that. He's evil, in fact, he's probably more evil than most of his enemies, but when you find out his story, everything ties together brilliantly.
Two things I recommend about it are, don't read it if you're squeamish, and don't stop reading it until you get to the end of the thirteenth volume. If you don't like the manga after that, you're either squeamish, or there's something wrong with you.
07.05.2010 - 23:31 | ShogunGino - Nice list.Unfortunately for Americans like me, Fist of the North Star suffered two short, rather poorly done official releases, and thus we must resort to finding it online to read it. Yeah, I know its not that cumbersome to find, but I'm disappointed that such a famous series quickly fizzled TWICE when they tried to localize it.
07.05.2010 - 23:38 | Kurara
07.05.2010 - 23:39 | That Sap with the Smut
07.05.2010 - 23:39 | KibbitzI like Hokuto no Ken best out of your list but Berserk and Gunnm are pretty cool too. I personally prefer brighter and more cheerful series, so my current favourite manga is Yotsubato!.
07.05.2010 - 23:41 | Picture_MeDude, Of the six mangas... I agree totally with ur first 3, havent read chin chan yet... But i read family compo (wich iliked) and Rookies (wich i loved) thx
07.05.2010 - 23:40 | kriscx
07.05.2010 - 23:58 | George - On One Piece, and BerserkThe [i]Pokemon[/i] joke was excellent, however the [i]Pokemon Special[/i] manga is, surprisingly, excellent. It's far superior to the anime, though that's not a difficult task, and I'd go as far as to call it one of my favorite mangas.
I was nervous their, [i]One Piece[/i] may be the best shounen of all time, but even Oda knows that no one will ever create a better manga than [i]Berserk[/i]. Even if you think [i]Berserk[/i] is too sick, depraved, and cynical, there's no way to deny it's power.
However, I disagree that it was supporting Atheism, the pagans, when you see them, are pretty fucking evil. The church tried stopping them, but they ended up being even more evil than rapist goat men demanding human sacrifice. I always thought that the moral was that unless you have a reason to hang on to your sanity, you'll end up an even worse person than the people you're trying to stop. Kind of like how Guts wound up even more evil than the Apostles.
However, the mangaka for [i]Berserk[/i] is probably either an Atheist, or a Shintoist, so the anti-Christian messages during the Birth Ceremony arc most likely were intentional. The Japanese tend to support paganism a lot more than Americans.
However, Kentaro Miura might not have a set message, some of the questions he poses don't seem to have a real answer. The clearest truth he's shown is that evil things will happen, how it's handled dictates what kind of person you are.
If you can read the Lost Children Arc without feeling disturbed, you have no soul.
Though I always thought One Piece would be on here, why was it left off? Did you not want to seem cliche by putting a shounen series on here? It's not that it's better than [i]Berserk[/i], but I give it a high place for it's wonderful art, epic, incredibly tight story, likable characters, and the fact that it's far more accessible than [i]Berserk[/i], which, despite being a masterpiece, a lot of people will never read because it'd give grizzled war veterans something to feel uncomfortable about.
07.06.2010 - 04:56 | DanT - Why One Piece?I've heard this kind of thing a lot, so I really have to ask; why do people go so crazy over One Piece? Don't get me wrong, I like it; but it seems to drag on for too long, everything that comes out of most characters' mouths is ridiculously over-the-top, and there's little to no consistency. I do think Zolo (or Zoro, or whatever you want to call him) is badass as they get, and Luffy is a fun character, bizarre as he may be, but the whole manga never seems to take itself seriously enough for me to take it seriously. Why do people go so crazy for it?
07.06.2010 - 08:03 | whatever42 - Why One Piece? AnswerWhy do people like One Piece so much? While I can't speak for other people, I can tell you why I like it enough to call it my favorite anime/manga.
It is impossible to pin down the exact thing that makes One Piece so good because there isn't one. It is an amalgamation of numerous parts of the show that make it so great, in my opinion.
The thing I like the most though, is the characters. I have never liked a group of characters in any book, movie, anime, video gams, or anything as much as I like the Strawhat crew. I care about each and every one of them, even those who I originally thought I would dislike, such as Ussop. Their unique personalities all make them lovable and their interactions are among the best I've seen out of any cast of characters anywhere.
Every side character has a point and none of them are truly unlikable. While some of them can be slightly annoying at times, Oda has a way of writing that I cannot dislike any of them, at least, not truly. The villains are all very unlikable, as they should be, and seem to get more and more evil as the series progresses. When they are beaten, the satisfaction felt cannot be described.
The story itself is another great aspect of the series. Stripped down to the barebones, it is simply a story of how Luffy and those around him journey throughout their world to accomplish their dreams. However, the adventures they have on their way become something astounding. Every island has its own problems that must be solved and a new adventure to be had. It's like every single island is its own planet in the solar system that is the One Piece world.
The emotions One Piece makes the watcher feel is another draw, in my eyes. When I'm seeing someone's past, such as Chopper's, I feel so sad for him that my caring of the character increases and I want to see happiness for him. When the crew has a new member join, I share their happiness that there is someone new for them to travel with. Despite how extreme the character's actions and the circumstances can get, I can still feel as if I can relate.
The characters do act over the top, but to me, that's part of the appeal. I like how silly things can get. In my opinion, it just increases the characters' affiability more. Also, the beginning of the series and certain spots can get a bit drawn out, but that is a rare occurence. When the story hits its stride, it goes with it for a very long time.
As for the lack of consistency you mentioned, I'm not sure what you mean. I'm going to guess you mean how every place they visit is different, and, if I'm right, I think that's the point. Oda can keep changing the environment to help keep things fresh and make sure their adventures are never too similar to each other. Otherwise, I'd say things are consistent.
Really though, the message and feeling I get from the series is unlike any other. The m...
07.08.2010 - 03:18 | Morganwrath - yeah!while i agree with you il support your argument with three other reasons why one piece is so good.
the world has a almost tolkien level amount of lore and back story, with secrets about the past that the author is very good at releasing in small amounts that keep you interested and thirsting to find out- thus keeping you hooked.
the main characters are not the most important thing in the world, you are constantly aware that things of greater importance are happening, and that unlike other shonen there are numerous characters that the straw-hats would never be able to beat, (no matter if they spent the whole series 'training' like some other shonen protagonists), making the world seem more real and the story less predictable.
while il admit the series starts of slow, it has a quality that no other shonen manga ive read seems to have, it gets better as it goes along, with no real bumps in the road, making a clear ascending line of quality.
and as anyone whos up to date with either the manga or anime should know, it can only get better from here.
i wont say that its the best manga made, it is still shonen and will always be hampered by the restraints that come with that, but it is definitely the best of its genre...that i have seen..
07.06.2010 - 09:55 | B-NavigatorAs far as why people like One Piece, a strong part of it is the fact that it takes a lot of the cliche's of Shonen stories, and applies them perfectly in a constantly progressing story filled with great and varied characters, and a perfect mix of the absurd and the serious.
Indeed on your complaint about seriousness, it reminds me of a translated interview where Oda explained why he gave Luffy his "Rubber Man" powers - he knew that he'd be bringing some heavy and serious things into the Manga, so he wanted Luffy to have an inherantly goofy power to somewhat limit how serious it could get.
Overall, the thing that makes One Piece stand out as great isn't a big theme or deep study of anything, it's simply that it told an interesting story that simply keeps growing and getting better with hardly any hickups along the way.
One thing I really like about the story structure I should add is the way it takes the whole "Enemies growing stronger as the hero's get stronger" bit and sets up the world so that it actually makes perfect sense for the whole grand line to act as a giant sorting algorithm with everyone getting stronger the closer to One Piece one gets.
07.06.2010 - 19:54 | VopopStandards have changed since then, but Fist of the North Star is technicly a shonen.
Funny thing about Berserk though, until I saw a clip of the Dreamcast game, I did not know what gender Puck was supposed to be.(I only have the first two volumes.)
07.05.2010 - 23:44 | Oni
07.06.2010 - 00:28 | LikaLarukuOh Benzaie, you just can't resist the boobies.
Hokuto no Ken has a stong "Fist of the North Star" look to it. I used to detest that look in the 90s, but have grown to prefur it; totally flip-flopping my taste in art. Except the muscles...those always grossed me out.
Sweet, Gumn was one of the first mangas I ever had. It had cheap binding & all the pages fell out. :( Even as a child I had a hand fetish & I always thought Alita/Gally had a beautiful mechanical arm. The doctor who found her looks suspiciously kuje Aegon from Ghost Busters.
I think you might like Galaxy Express 999, Benzaie.
The only thing I previously knew about Berserk is that it is apparently one of the shounen series that attracts female readers with it's intentional homoerotic undertones (Guts & Griffith). I loves me some fantasy wars & hates me some religion, so I'm now compelled to read this.

07.05.2010 - 23:44 | ffox91FOOOORCES ya Berserk totaly the anime got me into the manga.I would realy like if you could make a video only about Berserk and go into it more deeply(detailed thoughts,feelings and meaby some interpretations).Come on Benzaie give us a Berserk video...please.

07.06.2010 - 00:09 | GeorgeIt's pretty abrasive, Guts, at least in the beginning, is so evil, he makes most of his enemies look good, but try to get to volume 13. If you get that far, and you still don't like it, I won't complain. But I think it's best to give the series a fair chance, it will reward you.
07.06.2010 - 00:00 | GameKeeper28
07.06.2010 - 00:06 | Angrygamersoldier2010With both opening pics i thought one piece would up on your list somewhere. Oh well im sure you read that too. What scares me about Berserk is its still on going! Thats what makes me nervous about picking it up. I hear chapter releases are few and far between too.
07.06.2010 - 00:10 | TurtleKing99Where the hell is Death Note???
07.06.2010 - 05:47 | WerminIn the trash where it belongs.
07.06.2010 - 19:47 | TurtleKing99have you even read it?
07.06.2010 - 00:11 | RocnaelHmmm...
I'm just surprised there's no trace of Akira in your list.

07.06.2010 - 00:13 | otakudanawesome that berserk is number one. the manga was been out for 20 years and its only half way done.
07.06.2010 - 00:15 | Boxing Guy - Hell yeDude, I've been looking for some awesome Manga. More specifically stuff with epic and intriguing story lines, totally BAMF characters and well placed if extreme violence. I've heard a bit about Berserk but the show and movie didn't interest me. For me the artwork makes a big first impression and those mediums just didn't have it. But seriously, thanks for this list! I'll be checking out Berserk for sure and at least a few other titles on your top 5. :woohoo:
07.06.2010 - 00:15 | BS Digital Q.....I 'gasmed seeing Berserk as No. 1. Best. Fucking. Manga. Ever.
I read it within a week and it just blew me away like nothing else.
07.06.2010 - 00:15 | sansai
07.06.2010 - 00:22 | GeorgeI'dve agreed with [i]Bleach[/i]... before the Hueco Mundo arc, never has such a good idea been ruined by Jumping the Shark so completely.
Not only have they still not killed any of the heroes, they killed four of the most awesome villains in the most anti-climactic way possible. And if I here "Kurosaki-kun" one more fucking time, I'm going to buy a copy of [i]Incarnate[/i], just to piss of Kubo.
Though the man has earned a place as a trolling demigod.

While none of the heroes dying despite the constant near death trials sometimes causes an itch in the back of my mind, I have since let it pass and come to accept either no one will die, or the writer is readying everyone for Ichigo's death.
That said, the art is solid, it has grown and evolved and become some of the best current running I have seen in manga. It has style and substance and good writing as well.
As for the latest arc, I am actually sad with the rushed pace more than anything. Almost as if the writer wanted to keep going, then changed his mind and sped things along.
I think it really jumped when Aizen started to fight. That is when the story just kinda really started to push itself forward rather than elaborate as was the writers style up until that point.
I am always sad when someone hears the words Dragon Half and they think of the two episode OVA. While the manga was filled with frantic humor, it had an amazing depth to it as well not commonly found in the genre.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he has been impressed with how midfielder Mikel Arteta has performed in his first season at the Emirates Stadium.
The 29-year-old Spaniard joined the Gunners from Everton on the final day of last summer's transfer window and has since become a key member of the side.
He has made 23 appearances in the Barclays Premier League this season, netting four goals, and his consistent performances have played a key role in the club's resurgence in recent weeks.
"He always gives you a certain level of quality," Wenger told the club's official website.
"His attitude when he played for Everton was never in question, his ability was second to none and I think the fans respect that"
- Steve Round
"He is always 100% focused and committed and that is what you want from a real professional. He brings the best out of other players.
"I believe he is a winner and a fighter as well. I think he possesses both aspects of the game of a real midfielder - that means he can defend and he can attack. That is what we looked for."
Arteta, who was at Everton for over six years before his move to Arsenal, returns to Goodison Park for the first time since the transfer in Wednesday's Barclays Premier League match.
And the former Real Sociedad player said he was looking forward to going back to the Toffees.
"Visiting Everton will be really special for me," he said. "It's going to be weird to sit in the other changing room, warming up in the opposite half of the pitch and having the crowd against us. I just want to enjoy it.
"I really can't wait to go there, and I hope I'll get a good reception because I gave Everton everything I had in my time there and I love the club."
Everton assistant manager Steve Round also paid tribute to Arteta, adding that he expected the player to receive a warm welcome from the Goodison faithful.
"He was a big favourite here and I think the Everton fans are very knowledgeable and respectful towards the senior players who have played for the club," said Round. "I think they'll give him a good reception.
"He was a tremendous player for us. His attitude when he played for Everton was never in question, his ability was second to none and I think the Everton fans respect that."

North Star Ford: The way the ratting-out-your-friend experience should beon June 21, 2013 @ 4:46 pm (Updated: 8:00 am - 6/22/13 )
A Canadian Ford dealership had one of the most creative - and possibly the most entertaining - responses to a theft that Dori has ever seen.
Marty Giles, the owner of North Star Ford in Fort McMurray, Alberta, made a radio commercial targeting a thief that stole tires and rims. He offered anyone with information leading to an arrest $10,000. He'll also give $10,000 to a charity of the local police department's choosing.
"You think one of your pals won't turn you in for ten grand? Better return those, skippy," he says. "I get a great deal on commercials and I'll run them forever until you get caught. Is your friend really on his phone right now with his sister? Or maybe he was calling us to turn you in. You can't be too sure."
If the thief turns himself or herself in, he'll "call off the posse, no harm, no foul."
But in the meantime, Marty is running these great commercials and confusing Americans by saying "wood buffalo" a lot.
"North Star Ford: the way the ratting-out-your-friend experience should be," Marty concludes.

Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense, a fraud, a lie; and the workers want no lying.Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin
I am much more open about categories of gender, and my feminism has been about women's safety from violence, increased literacy, decreased poverty and more equality. I was never against the category of men.Judith Butler
We have already found a high degree of personal liberty, and we are now struggling to enhance equality of opportunity. Our commitment to human rights must be absolute, our laws fair, our natural beauty preserved; the powerful must not persecute the weak, and human dignity must be enhanced.James Earl Carter, Jr.
Obama is neither a socialist, nor a mere political accountant. He has some modest ideals, and may yet be an excellent president. But what is needed to revive liberal idealism is a set of new ideas on how to promote justice, equality and freedom in the world. Reagan, Thatcher, and Gorbachev, assisted in the end of an ideology, which once offered hope, and inspired real progress, but resulted in slavery and mass murder. We are still waiting for a new vision, which will lead to progress, but this time, we hope, without tyranny.Ian Buruma
We are all different. Yet we are all God's children. We are all united behind this country and the common cause of freedom, justice, fairness, and equality. That is what unites us.Barbara Levy Boxer
Everything is what it is: liberty is liberty, not equality or fairness or justice or culture, or human happiness or a quiet conscience.Sir Isaiah Berlin
One distressing thing is the way men react to women who assert their equality: their ultimate weapon is to call them unfeminine. They think she is anti-male; they even whisper that she's probably a lesbian.Shirley Chisholm
Liberty, equality bad principles! The only true principle for humanity is justice; and justice to the feeble becomes necessarily protection or kindness.Henri-Frdric Amiel
Republican patience with how unionism deals with the political institutions, and with key issues like equality and human rights, will be tested because, obviously, there will be a battle a day on these matters. So lets face up to all of this with our eyes wide open.Gerry Adams
The connection between women's human rights, gender equality, socioeconomic development and peace is increasingly apparent.Mahnaz Afkhami
Nations will rise and fall, but equality remains the ideal. The universal aim is to achieve respect for the entire human race, not just for the dominant few.Carlos P. Romulo
If the equality of individuals and the dignity of man be myths, they are myths to which the republic is committed.Howard Mumford Jones
Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.Alice Paul
Similarly, gender-equality, supremacy of law, political participation, civil society, and transparency are among the indispensable elements that are the imperatives of democratization.Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Distinctions between citizens solely because of their ancestry are by their very nature odious to a free people whose institutions are founded upon the doctrine of equality.Harlan Stone
Liberty, equality - bad principles! The only true principle for humanity is justice; and justice to the feeble is protection and kindness.Henri Frederic Amiel
Socialism means equality of income or nothing... under socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live you would have to live wellGeorge Bernard Shaw
A society that puts equality...ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedomMilton Friedman
What is deeply distressing is the incredible number of people who are vehemently opposed to equality, and the need for them to deny gay rights simply because they cannot bear the thought of gays having rights.Moran Margaret Cho
Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance.Kofi Annan
Both liberty and equality are among the primary goals pursued by human beings through many centuries; but total liberty for wolves is death to the lambs, total liberty of the powerful, the gifted, is not compatible with the rights to a decent existence of the weak and the less gifted.Isaiah Berlin
Africa makes a mockery of what we say, at least what I say, about equality and questions our pieties and our commitments because there's no way to look at what's happening over there and it's effect on all of us and conclude that we actually consider Africans as our equals before God. There is no chance.Paul David Hewson
From the equality of rights springs identity of our highest interests; you cannot subvert your neighbor's rights without striking a dangerous blow at your own.Carl Schurz


text: Practice 1: Hamilton fastest as McLaren signal their intent 27 July, 2012 Lewis Hamilton ended the first free practice session in Hungary fastest of all Jul.26 (GP247) By their lofty standards McLaren have had a dip in form since they last won, in Canada, but in Germany they showed signs of a revival and again at Hungaroring, on a warm sunny day which the MP4-27 relishes, the team's two world champions hogged the top spots on the timing screens at the end of the first free practice session of the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend. Hamilton clocked the fastest lap, of 1 minute 22.821 seconds in 30 laps (more than anyone else) around the 4.4 km circuit, during a bustle of rapid laps midway through the session, and was 0.101 seconds up on teammate Button who had set his best shortly before that. Inadvertently, perhaps, it was a show of muscle by the Woking squad who need to re-ignite their season as they are beginning to lose touch with championship points leader Fernando Alonso. And in fact it was the Ferrari driver who was next best in the vastly improved F2012, but the Spaniard's best time was half a second down on Hamilton's best. Mercedes left Hockenheim confused about where their pace disappeared to in Germany and will be looking for a reversal of fortune at the twisty Hungaroring with Nico Rosberg fastest of the Silver Arrows pair with the fifth best time and Michael Schumacher, four times a winner in Hungary, sixth fastest. Splitting the Mercedes duo with the fifth best time was Romain Grosjean, GP2 winner at the same venue last year, the Lotus driver ending the 90 minutes session fastest of the Renault powered brigade. Felipe Massa, back at the scene of his horrific qualifying accident in 2009, was seventh fastest in the second Ferrari looking for a strong showing after a forgettable weekend in Germany. Eighth fastest at the end of the session was Kimi Raikkonen in the Lotus E20 featuring the 'super' double DRS – teammate Grosjean was running the more conventional contraption. On Friday duty for Williams was Valterri Bottas, who gave a good account of himself after his close encounter with the wall in Hockenheim a week earlier, and ended ninth fastest and a tad quicker than teammate Pastor Maldonado who was 11th best. Sergio Perez rounded out the top ten in his Sauber. Out of the top ten were both Red Bull drivers, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, who ended 13th and 15th respectively – clearly neither of them opted to take a fast run. Other reserves doing duty were: 18th fastest Jules Bianchi replacing Force India's Nico Hulkenberg and slowest of all Dani Clos in Narain Karthikeyn's HRT.

Jazz trumpeter and composer Randy Brecker, a multiple Grammy Awards winner, and monster jazz organ player Tony Monaco, are set to headline the 2014 Amelia Island Jazz Festival, it was announced recently by AIJF Artistic Director Les DeMerle. A hugely successful performer who has sold well over a half million albums as a solo artist, Brecker will be performing a tribute to the Brecker Brothers in honor of his late brother Michael, on Saturday, October 18, at the Omni Resorts Amelia Island Plantation. Credited with augmenting the sound of jazz, R&B and rock for more than four decades, Randy Brecker's trumpet and flugelhorn performances have graced hundreds of albums by a wide range of recording artists from James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen and Parliament/Funkadelic to Frank Sinatra, Steely Dan, and Jaco Pastorius.
Tony Monaco, who will appear on Friday, October 17 at the Omni, is a leader in the revival of the Hammond B3 organ in jazz. As he has been with so many fledgling jazz organists, Jimmy Smith played a significant role in attracting Monaco to jazz and retaining his interest in the music. A critically acclaimed player, Monaco consistently ranks high among organists in DOWNBEAT Magazine's Annual Critics Poll. He has released several well-reviewed albums including his latest, "Celebration: Life & Love & Music" on the Chicken Coup Label.
Now in its 11th year, the AIJF's past headliners include numerous world-class artists such as David Sanborn who commented, "The Amelia Island Jazz Festival is authentic, exciting and charming. I love the island and I look forward to coming back soon." Another stalwart performer, Ramsey Lewis, called the AIJF, " the 'real deal' because the focus is on true Jazz music." Buckwheat Zydeco, Spyro Gyra, and Mindi Abair are among the other notables to have appeared on the festival's stages. According the DeMerle, this year's lineup will follow in the best of festival traditions. "We are very excited to have Randy, a longtime friend, and Tony this year—both are highly regarded and among the world's finest on their respective instruments," he said. "Fernandina Beach can truly look forward to some spectacular musical fireworks."
The AIJF, which will run from October 16-19, will kick off with its annual pre-Festival free concert in Amelia Park on Sunday, October 12, with U.S. Navy Band Southeast. A Latin Jazz Night showcasing one of the country's hottest dance groups, El Niño & the Latin Jazz Knights, is scheduled for Thursday, October 16, at Sandy Bottoms. Prior to the headliner shows on October 17 and 18, the festival will present this year's AIJF Scholarship winner, saxophonist Luke Stribling and the Next Generation Jazz Band on the outdoor stage at the Omni. The Dynamic Les DeMerle Band, with dazzling vocalist Bonnie Eisele and exciting young saxophonist Hunter Diamond, will warm up each headliner show with high-energy sets.
Accomplished and sultry singer Jilla Webb, Jr. will host the traditionally fun late night Jazz Jams, featuring the AIJF's 2014 musicians, in the Omni's Heron Room at the Racquet Park following the headliner sets on October 17 and 18. The Festival is scheduled to end on a swinging note Sunday, October 19, with a Dixie To Swing Jazz Brunch, featuring DeMerle's Amelia Island Jazz Festival All-Stars, plus Eisele and the highly talented Dr. Bill Prince, at David's Restaurant. Additionally during the week, the AIJF will present a Jazz In The Schools program, clinics, jam sessions and more to be announced.

I have had good luck with some 15" kumhos from tirerack. Noticeably better than the stock rubber at a good price, and they were highly rated.

It's been a while since I posted anything of substance and I kind of feel like I have some splainin' to do!
It's the usual story. Life got busy and rather than post something less-than-interesting, I kept telling myself to wait, set aside some time, and post something I was actually proud of. Long story short, it just didn't happen and now an awkward amount of time has passed.
Thing is, the work I've been doing over the past few years all stems from this blog. It was the creative outlet I so desperately needed in those early days. It was what led to my first freelance writing gig, which then led to paid styling work. So East of Hudson is important to me and like I said, I want to be proud of what I publish here.
In order to dust myself off and keep going with it, I feel like I need a renewed focus.
I'm still clarifying exactly where to go from here (and how to get there) but a couple of things are gently nudging me along, hopefully in the right direction.
One of those things is that I had a baby. His name is Eli, he is 17 weeks old, and he is everything that is good and beautiful and right in the world. Babies just are, aren't they.
I've also been working on some small and inexpensive updates to our little house which I plan to write about. And there are a couple of other things in the pipeline, too... but more on that later.
So there you go, an explanation of sorts.

Indiana rolls past Indiana St. 73-35 in opener
Updated On: Aug 29 2013 11:33:24 PM EDT
Indiana's Nate Sudfeld threw four touchdown passes, and Tevin Coleman rushed for 169 yards and two more TDs in Thursday night's record-breaking 73-35 victory over Indiana State.
The Hoosiers (1-0) scored 45 points in the first half, their highest total since the school started keeping records in 1949, and broke the Memorial Stadium scoring record by topping the 69 points Nebraska scored in 1978.
They made it look easy, too. The Hoosiers used only 3 minutes, 57 seconds to score six first-half touchdowns. Ted Bolser caught two TD passes to extend his own school record for tight ends, and Shane Wynn added three more with TD catches of 43 and 3 yards and a 58-yard punt return.
Shakir Bell ran 18 times for 113 yards for Indiana State (0-1) but left late in the first half with a separated right shoulder that could keep him out a couple of weeks.

Grey's Anatomy Round Table: "These Arms of Mine"by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Welcome to TV Fanatic's Grey's Anatomy Round Table, in which our panelists discuss the burning questions from the most recent episode of the medical drama.
The topics for our "These Arms of Mine" Round Table Q&A and TVF's take ...
1. What was your favorite Grey's Anatomy quote from the episode?
L.J. Gibbs: "Being a hero has it's price." - Yang
M.L. House: I'll go with Sloan's take on the installment: "You picked a good night to start filming. This is gonna be fun." As you'll be able to tell in my following answer, I couldn't disagree more.
Mrs. Northman: Derek: "He
2. The documentary-style filming: Cool change of pace or lame gimmick?
L.J. Gibbs: It was sort of cool, and didn't take away from the episode. Still, it didn't add much, there was no reason to do it, and it felt like a gimmick done just for the sake of it.
M.L. House: INCREDIBLY lame. First, it was a transparent attempt to be edgy (suddenly the characters curse and get beeped, even though they've never once cursed in the history of the show?!?). Second, it was a cop-out by the writers. I'd rather have actual stories depicting the pain the doctors are going through, not them just staring into a camera an saying it.
Mrs. Northman: I liked it! It showed us an interesting look inside each character that we usually don't get to see because they normally aren't speaking directly to the camera.3. Which medical case were you most moved by last night?
L.J. Gibbs: The double-amputee, and not just because of his self-deprecating sense of humor ("I'd bury my head in my hands, but I don't have any hands...") or the tie-in with the episode name. Was his wife crazy Katie Kent from Private Practice, though, or am I confusing her with someone else? Assuming I'm correct, how can you have the main cast cross over between shows, but cast one of PP's most infamous guest characters as this random woman?
M.L. House: The one with Mandy Moore. She hasn't moved me this much in a faux medical instance since A Walk to Remember.
Mrs. Northman: Probably Zack's because he was able to get a new lease on life.
OFF TO AFRICA? Will Arizona and/or Callie really leave? Will they stay together?
4. Will Callie and Arizona make it?
L.J. Gibbs: I have a feeling Arizona's going to Africa without Callie, but that they'll work things out and get back together when she returns. Also, she will no longer conveniently stand in front of charts and sleeping bags at that juncture.
M.L. House: Yes. And they'll become huge soccer fans in the process.
Mrs. Northman: I def. hope so! Why not? Callie made a big sacrifice to leave with Arizona. Why break-up now?
5. Seriously, when will Cristina get it together?
L.J. Gibbs: From the Grey's Anatomy spoilers I've read and the previews we've posted, next week looks like it will be HUGE for Cristina. How will she respond when she's actually in a do-or-die situation? I fear it may get worse before it gets better.
M.L. House: Maybe, never. I hate to break it to you, Round Table Question Maker Guy, but some experiences are too traumatic to move past.
Mrs. Northman: Of course! It's Cristina. I just hope its sooner than later. I loved the days when she kicked cardiothoracic butt!
6. Which Seattle Grace doctor would you bring in for show and tell?
L.J. Gibbs: The Chief. He's been on such a PR mission lately, I'm sure he'd deliver a kick-ass marketing powerpoint for the hospital.
M.L. House: Meredith. I want her to tell everyone as often as possible how surgeons "live to cut."
Mrs. Northman: Hmm... I'd go with Lily's choice and choose Alex. He's great with kids and not so bad to look at! ;)
What do you think? Weigh in with your own answers/comments!

1.What was your favorite Grey's Anatomy quote from the episode?
"Being a hero has it's price" Cristina 2. The documentary-style filming: Cool change of pace or lame gimmick?
I liked it actually, gave a different perspective on things and it was a nice change of pace. 3. Which medical case were you most moved by last night?
Lily's hands down. 4. Will Callie and Arizona make it?
I really hope they do, but they have some bumpy roads ahead. 5. Seriously, when will Cristina get it together?
She better! I don't know how she will but I really hope so. 6. Which Seattle Grace doctor would you bring in for show and tell?
Jackson Avery, he's so pretty to look at :)
1.What was your favorite Grey's Anatomy quote from the episode? Christina: "Being a hero has it's price" that gave me chills 2. The documentary-style filming: Cool change of pace or lame gimmick? Very lame gimmick.I was not crazy about this episode @ all 3. Which medical case were you most moved by last night? Lily's OMG! I loved Alex especially when he was lying to himself that he didn't care about the kids when clearly he did. The singing cracked me up. 4. Will Callie and Arizona make it? Honestly IDK. I'm not crazy about them (But I don't hate them either) 5. Seriously, when will Cristina get it together? Soon! This fear of OR's and surgery is getting old and I want some steps in recovery please Cristina's so badass 6. Which Seattle Grace doctor would you bring in for show and tell? Alex who wouldn't bring him? He cares about his patients and is an amazing person
I thought the documentary episode was good. It was nice to see the characters and the stories presented in a different way for a change. Obviously this isn't for the Cheetos/Malt Liquor crowd who'd have to use their brains to understand it. Lol
Okay totally hated how the killed of Mandy Moores character. This season so far, to me, keeps getting worse and worse. Come Shonda give us some happy storylines let us root for somebody.
Did not care for this episode,I miss the real Grey's. I missed the narration, that really adds so much insight to the episode. However I am loving Alex more and more. Christina needs to get back to her former self. Want more Mer/Der time. Who care's about Arizona and Callie, they have become annoying- want Callie to be with Mark- they are meant for each other.
1. Alex singing to Lily was so sweet!
2. Surprisingly, I really liked the episode. It was one of the better shows this season. (This season is struggling very hard to get rolling.)
3. Lily and Alex but I did like the arm transplant as a close second.
4. Maybe, maybe not. I do not think Callie is going to Africa but during their time apart, Callie may revisit her interest in men (hint-hint Mark). I have never gave up on a Mark & Callie reunion. It's not that I don't like Arizona, I just don't care for the Callie-Arizona match up as much as I love the Callie-Mark match-up. 5. Hurry-up already with Christina! I miss her sarcasm and wit!
1. What was your favorite Grey's Anatomy quote from the episode?
It's no real quote but who cares - Alex singing! So cute and touching and if possible I love him even more since this episode. 2. The documentary-style filming: Cool change of pace or lame gimmick?
I loved it. It was something new/different and a good idea. I especially liked how they displayed the relatives, it was a different view than usual and also very emotional. 3. Which medical case were you most moved by last night?
I liked all, really. Lily was cute, the arms were crazy and Mary was surprising. 4. Will Callie and Arizona make it?
Don't care, serously. 5. Seriously, when will Cristina get it together?
Hopefully the next episode. This get's boring big time! 6. Which Seattle Grace doctor would you bring in for show and tell?
Just like Lily I'd choose Alex.
Hate, hate, hate, hated this episode. There is more than enough crappy reality TV around without one of my favourite genuinely fiction shows attempting to be cool and join the ranks of the uninspiring. Epic fail.
I really didnt like this weeks episode. I like the documentry style filming, it was different, but the plot seemed like the writers were trying to hard at different things. With the fancy surgeries and killing off Mary, which they didnt even have to do
4. I believe that the actress playing Arizona is preggers so she is probably gone for a bit now for that reason, and I don't think that Callie will go with her to "Africa" (Hollywood's new baby code word).

These very interesting plaques were made to commemorate the heroic stand of the 101st Airborne in Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. Heavily outnumbered, out of supply and already burnt out from too much time spent at the front the 101st held out doggedly against repeated German assaults designed at gaining the important crossroads town in the middle of their axis of advance during the Battle of the Bulge. The exact moment represented is when a German officer presented the American General McAuliffe with a surrender demand. The famously defiant reply was simply "Nuts". These plaques are often found in the effects of 101st veterans and come in both round and octagonal versions. Marked MADE IN COUVIN, BELGIUM.
