A behind-the-scenes tour reveals the joys and quirks of Fenway Park, baseball's oldest stadium, celebrating its 100th year.
In this April 4, 2010, file photo, fireworks soar over the Fenway Park press box before the opening game of the baseball season between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees in Boston.
It is the best seat in baseball. In the coolest stadium in the majors. In a baseball-mad city.
But you can't buy a ticket for this seat at the box office. You rarely find it on StubHub. The only way to get a ticket for section M1, row 1, seat 1 at Boston's Fenway Park is to win it in a pre-season lottery. And then it'll still cost you $165.
Don't fret. Because for $16, you can sit in that choice seat atop Fenway's legendary Green Monster left-field wall, at least for a few minutes, on a stadium tour.
What makes that seat -- with far from the best view of the field -- so sought- after? Imagine it's the 1975 World Series. Game 6, 12th inning, a 6-6 tie. Red Sox catcher Carlton Fisk is at the plate. He hits a towering drive down the left-field line, he's jumping and waving his arms to keep it in fair territory, the ball is hooking -- it hits the foul pole. Home run! Red Sox win. There will be a Game 7.
That left-field foul pole has been named for Fisk. Sit in M1, row 1, seat 1 and you can peer through the scaffolding of the yellow Fisk pole and see the greenest stadium in baseball. Much of the ballpark -- from the outfield seats to the press box -- is painted a drab shade of Kelly green. It's officially called "Fenway green."
Not only is Fenway the greenest park in baseball, it's also the oldest in the major leagues. No wonder it bills itself as America's most beloved ballpark.
This year, the Red Sox stadium turned 100. PBS did a special, ABKCO Records put out a commemorative album (with vocals by Massachusetts punk band the Dropkick Murphys and such players as David Ortiz), and the Red Sox played a centennial anniversary game wearing 1912 throwback uniforms, against the Yankees (the first game was with the New York Highlanders, predecessors to those damn Yankees).
In the first season at Fenway, the Red Sox won the World Series -- their first of four titles that decade (the last in 1918). However, the Boston club wouldn't win the World Series again until -- yikes! -- 2004, a long drought that adds to the mystique of famous Fenway.
Pre-game party
A visit to Fenway starts at Yawkey Way, the street that runs along the third-base line. On a game day, you might as well be at the Minnesota State Fair. The street is packed with people. Italian sausages to the left, Sox souvenirs to the right, Boston accents as thick as clam chowdah all around. Grab a beer and check out the starting lineup -- posted with supersized baseball cards on the street, above the Pro Shop souvenir store. But drive down Yawkey Way on a non-game day, and you could very easily pass by the reddish brick three-story Fenway in this mostly industrial urban neighborhood and not even realize that it's a ballpark.
If you have seats in the outfield, head down Lansdowne Street. You'll see the House of Blues music club and some Boston characters, like one guy with a handmade sign announcing "need $ to get drunk so two women can take me home." If, like that fellow, you don't have a ticket, then duck into Bleacher Bar (82 Lansdowne), where you can peer into a cut-out in the center-field fence -- whether there's a game or not.
That legendary wall
Once inside Fenway, you'll notice its most distinguished features: a wildly asymmetrical outfield, an old-fashioned scoreboard and, of course, the legendary Green Monster, the left-field wall. The wall is the tallest in the majors (37 feet, 2 inches high) -- and the shortest distance from home plate (310 feet).
After a fire in 1934, a new left-field wall was built and, two years later, a 23-foot fence was added atop the wall because batted balls were breaking windows on storefronts on Lansdowne, according to tour guide Caroline Collins.
Because it was covered in advertising, the wall was not painted green until 1947. A fellow at an area paint company blended a special shade dubbed Fenway green, which is still available exclusively from Benjamin Moore.
One of the most compelling features of the Green Monster is its archaic scoreboard, which was installed in 1934. In this era of high-tech, HD scoreboards, this one is still operated manually, with three workers updating balls, strikes and scores from inside the scoreboard. However, the updates for National League games are done only between innings because the operators need to change those from the outside, often standing on a ladder on the field. For those keeping score, there are 127 slots for numbers and names in the big green scoreboard.
The most curious fact about the Fenway scoreboard, however, is the two sets of Morse code symbols painted in two vertical strips. They spell the initials of longtime Red Sox owners Thomas A. Yawkey and Jean R. Yawkey, his wife, who used to like to picnic together in left field on non-game days. The Yawkey family or its trust owned the team from 1933 to 2002.
The new owners began to make immediate changes, most notably installing 274 seats atop the Green Monster in 2003. (Fenway is now the fourth smallest stadium in baseball, with a capacity of 37,495.) The new regime also established Yawkey Way and started an 8th-inning stretch tradition of playing Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" as a "so good so good so good" sing-along. (It was written for famous Bostonian Caroline Kennedy.)
In the Fenway concourses, you can see a history of the Red Sox, with the various logos used over the years, and a salute to the concerts held there (Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith and, of course, Diamond). In the press box, which is part of the tour, there is a photo of jubilant fans storming the announcers booth when the Sox beat the Twins to clinch the 1967 American League pennant.
Throughout the ballpark, you will notice tributes to great Sox players, including Hall of Famers Fisk, Carl Yastrzemski and Ted Williams, who has his own red-painted seat amid a sea of green in right field to commemorate his mammoth 502-foot homerun in 1946. You can buy a ticket for that chair -- section 42, row 37, seat 21 -- for a mere $28.
The oldest seats in Fenway are the $55 oak grandstand seats in the lower deck between first and third bases -- the only wooden seats left in the majors. They may be quaint and historical. But they're not as cool and priceless as the best seats in baseball atop the Green Monster.

Summary: Social psychology is a flourishing discipline. It explores the most essential questions of the human psyche (e.g., Why do people help or harm others? How do influence professionals get us to do what they want, and how can we inoculate ourselves against their sometimes-insidious persuasion tactics? Why do social relationships exert such powerful effects on people's physical health?), and it does so with clever, ingenuitive research methods. This edited volume is a textbook for advanc ...show moreed social psychology courses. Its primary target audience is first-year graduate students (MA or PhD) in social psychlogy, although it is also appropriate for upper-level undergraduate courses in social psychology and for doctoral students in disciplines connecting to social psychology (e.g., marketing, organizational behavior). The authors of the chapters are world-renowned leaders on their topic, and they have written these chapters to be engaging and accessible to students who are just learning the discipline. After reading this book, you will be able to understand almost any journal article or conference presentation in any field of social psychology. You will be able to converse competently with most social psychologists in their primary research domain, a use skill that is relevant not only in daily life but also when interviewing for a faculty position. And, most importantly, you will be equipped with the background knowledge to forge ahead more confidently with your own research. ...show less

The #10 worst owner in Jon Taffer's personal list of poor proprietors is the owner of a comedy club in Scottsdale, AZ. He seems more concerned with his jokes than refining his business.
This owner makes Jon Taffer's countdown because he looks the other at his bartender's drinking and their behavior.
At MT Bottle, owner Tracy lets people drink for free in his bar, and completely overlooks the septic spring in his basement.

The boys are finally coming home.
Well, wait. The boys already are home. …Which team are "the boys" again?
The Phoenix Coyotes play in Winnipeg for the first time tonight, returning the organization to it's rightful place, but only for long enough to play a hockey game and then peace out again.
At least this time when they leave, there's still going to be hockey in town.
The reaction of fans in Winnipeg is must-see TV for me tonight. Do they boo their old franchise's return? Cheer like crazy? Sit on their hands, befuddled by their own emotions? Frankly, I'm not sure if they're supposed to care or not. They have a new girlfriend now.
Shane Doan returns to the city that drafted him in 1995, and is the only Coyotes player to have actually played for the team when they were the Jets (74 games).
"The fans in Winnipeg will be excited and emotional, that's always a fun environment to play in when you have fans like that," he said.
Odd to think that the Coyotes tout Dale Hawerchuk as their all-time leading scorer (929 points), while the Jets all-time leading scorer is Ilya Kovalchuk (615 points)? That just ain't right.
Also interesting: Kyle Turris, who was slated to make his return to the organization (as reported by TSN), has suddenly been sent down to their AHL affiliate in Portland. No word on why, and being that it was reported that his cardio was great, it all seems a little odd. We'll be keeping an eye on that development as the day progresses.
Either way, it should be an interesting night in the 'Peg. Here's to hoping the Jets win. …I like the odds of that happening.

That would force everyone to rebase their work on current master before they commit to master which would make the history clean. William

A couple weekends ago, I had the honor of hosting some old friends from high school. It was lovely to take them around the city and show them the area that has become my home over the past 5 years. Since I do not often get a chance to eat with other people, let alone entertain, I knew I wanted to take advantage of the good company and hungry tummies, so I decided to make something that showed off the flavors of Kentucky. Of course, that meant bourbon!
We took a tour of Buffalo Trace Distillery, where we purchased some awesome bourbon creme liqueur, comparable to Bailey's, but much better. If you get a chance, I highly recommend mixing up some chocolate ice cream, root beer, and bourbon creme in a blender for dessert. It was the perfect finish to this meal.
Served with green beans and homemade wheat bread, this was delicious and so easy. I highly recommend it for entertaining, but it's so easy that you can make it for a weeknight dinner. Be careful when removing the meat though, as it is so tender that it tends to fall apart. I shredded the leftover meat and used the leftover sauce to make some delicious sandwiches the next day. Also, just a warning, you might want to double the sauce, as it is delicious for dipping your bread in or serving over mashed potatoes.
Bourbon Pork Tenderloin
Adapted from Southern Living
- 2 (1-lb.) pork tenderloins
- ¼ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- ¼ cup bourbon
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
Combine all ingredients except cornstarch in a slow cooker, being sure to mix well. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Once cooked, remove that pork and set aside on your desired serving plate, reserving the marinade (you might want to use a plate that can be quickly reheated, as the meat might cool down too much).
Taking the marinade/juices in the slow cooker, pour through a sieve into a medium sauce pan so as to have the juice in the pan and discard the fats/solids.
Add the cornstarch to the sauce pan and bring to a boil, then simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Cut pork diagonally into thin slices, and arrange on a serving platter; drizzle with the warm sauce.

Are you looking for a cat to adopt as a forever pet into your home? Consider sweet little Trixie!
Adopt this gorgeous little torti for only $125 - and remember, she comes with all vaccinations, is already spayed and microchipped.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Trixie, a Arlington American Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in Arlington, or seeking a American Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Arlington.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Arlington already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Arlington breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Arlington paves the way for another one to be saved.

Failure gave Adam Cohen impetus to make the best music of his life
Adam Cohen nearly failed in his ambition to become a successful singer-songwriter—but not, he notes, because of the daunting legacy of his famous father.
"That dark, tyrannical shadow that everyone is always talking about? I don't actually sense it," Leonard's son says, on the line from his Los Angeles home. "It's quite the opposite—I feel like the bar has been placed very high, and that's very aspirational. I also feel like I share a genetic code with someone who is most admirable and, dare I say, historic.
"I've lived a very privileged life, with colourful, influential, interesting characters and travel," he adds. "And I've always had food on my plate, so I actually have much, much more to celebrate and be happy about than people give me credit for."
Still, despite friendly advice from the man who wrote "Bird on the Wire", "Suzanne", and "Hallelujah" and record companies clamouring to give him a deal, the 40-year-old Cohen feels that his first 20 years in the music business—both as a solo artist and with his band Low Millions—were an unmitigated disaster.
"I'd really been given chance after chance to succeed, and I'd essentially blown every one of them," he reveals. And not, he reiterates, because of some deep psychological resistance to succeeding in his father's industry.
"It's simpler than that," he stresses. "I think that my preoccupation was with being successful rather than with being a good artist. When a certain amount of sobriety and wisdom finally arrived on the doorstep, I realized that I really hadn't satisfied my inner criteria for what I'd always wanted my life to be in music. I'd actually missed the target completely."
At first, that realization nearly led him to hang up his guitar for good. Instead, he made the just-released Like a Man, which he suggests is the first fully listenable album of his career. It's not going to make anyone forget New Skin for the Old Ceremony, the Leonard Cohen album Adam admits was one of the templates for his return to songwriting, but it's more than listenable.
Just don't expect him to explain what it's all about.
"I'm happy to have you infer some intention from what is a pretty bold album title," he says. "But I'd love for the songs and sentiments and stories and lyrics to speak for themselves."
What they're saying to this listener is that Cohen has made an honest—almost embarrassingly honest, at times—response to what it is to be a man, and a lover of women, in these sexually and morally ambiguous times. And in at least one regard, he's done his old man proud: so far, the women he's played it for have approved of his message.
"It's always a privilege to be able to play a song for someone you actually know—one that either bears their name, or bears such strong traces of something you lived with them," he says, adding that the response so far has been "pretty much favourable".
"You know," he says, "even if it's a bad song, I've found that the act is very well received."
Adam Cohen plays the Rio Theatre on Friday (October 19).

Free Entry
Even die-hard Gold Coast fans may not realise this but there is an official section of the coast known as the Gold Coast Oceanway, a 36-kilometre network of pathways which connects The Spit at the north to Point Danger in the south.
This innovative initiative is actually a series of sections which range up to four kilometres long and are popular with walkers and cyclists. There's accessible viewing platforms for people with disabilities and the entire route is serviced by the local Surfside Buses. With salt in your hair enjoy blue ocean waves, golden sandy beaches and green dunes.
... moreYou'll encounter birds, dolphins, fish and whales along this award-winning route popular with those who like to swim, fish, sail and sunbake. There's also plenty of public facilities such as barbecues and toilets along the way. So take your time, breathe, relax and enjoy as you connect the dots between the Gold Coast Seaway and Coolangatta.
... less
Children are welcome. There are high quality playgrounds for children of all ages and abilities at regular intervals along the Gold Coast Oceanway. Lifeguards patrol flagged swimming areas along the Oceanway. There are sheltered areas suitable for swimming with younger children at the Broadwater, Currumbin and Tallebudgera Estuary and the more protected ocean beaches at Greenmount, Rainbow Bay and Burleigh.
There is access for guests with a disability. The Gold Coast Oceanway won the 2005 Queensland Award for services for people with a disability. The pavements provide high quality access for people of all abilities. There are disability viewing platforms allowing access over the sand for less mobile people. There are regular toilets and car parking for people with a disability along the Oceanway.
Pets Allowed:
Yes. Pets are allowed. Dogs are welcome on a leash along all of the Gold Coast Oceanway (there is a short diversion inland around the Burleigh National Park area which is off limits to dogs). There are some off-leash areas for dogs along the Oceanway including sandy beaches at Currumbin and The Spit.
General Comments
The 36 kilometres Gold Coast Oceanway is located along the mainland beachfront of Gold Coast City in Queensland, Australia. The Oceanway can be enjoyed by pedestrians or cyclists starting at any point and travelling in either direction. There is public transport to many points along the Gold Coast Oceanway visit Trans Info for more information.
A tourist map showing the major locations along the Gold Coast Oceanway is also available.
Check out the Gold Coast events calendar for major events including wintersun, schoolies, Australian Surf lifesaving championships, surfing events and the Indy carnival. The Gold Coast Oceanway will remain open during major events, but travel times may be affected by larger crowds. While many urban sections of the Oceanway are well lit for usage after dark, suburban areas have lower levels of lighting and there is no lighting provided in non-urban sections including Currumbin, Burleigh National Park and the Spit. Sections of the Oceanway near coastal cliffs may close during periods of heavy rain, but inland diversions will be in place.

Hi everyone! finally am back in Australia after my trip around the US for 6 weeks. I had a fantastic time meeting up with so many quilting friends - both at Camp Cheerio and from another internet site.
Camp cheerio was fantastic and I look forward to returning another year to meet up with everyone again. I got to visit Ohio and Quiltpartner, Camp Cheerio in NC, Alabama & Grammy P, Arkansas & micyrey (she drove down from Missouri) - missed hazelnutbunny because she was sick, South Carolina & Sandlapper Rose, Washington DC, PA and NY with Sandlapper Rose, then NH, Ma & Maine. Had to leave Buffalo early to avoid "Sandy", so was safe with friends in NH when the hurricane hit on Monday. It was quite wild up there, even though it was away from the centre of the storm. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in your country - now have to sort out the thousands of photos I took and record all the wonderful experiences I had. Kristene (tinyteena) |

It was so wonderful to meet you, too! And I'm glad you made it home safely. What an amazing trip and memories :-) Robbi |
Kristene, I'm so happy you enjoyed your visit! Now if I could only get up the nerve to fly to Australia! I'm glad you made it home safely. Donna |

Glad to hear you made it home safely! Just the other day I was wondering if you were still here in the US or if you had returned home. I'm so glad you were able to make it to Camp Cheerio this time. We all enjoyed meeting you in person and I really enjoyed being your "roomie." Having you here made our retreat extra special in 2012. Teresa |
- Posted by magothyrivergirl (My Page) on Fri, Nov 16, 12 at 9:22
I also was wondering if you were home yet. Home sweet home :) Thank you for coming to our country and spending time at Camp Cheerio with us. I enjoyed your company so much. Rest up dear friend - you've earned it! |

It was so nice to have you stay with us and I look forward to coming to Australia. beverly |
It is so nice to know you have made your trip complete and are safely home. I have been thinking about you and concerned as I thought you were to be home on the 4th. It was such a treat to meet you and Jeanne by our beautiful lake. I am disappointed that your trip was touched by "Sandy" but those things are part of life. Great memories good and bad. |
Thanks everyone for your messages. I had such a geat time at Camp Cheerio that I would like to go again - probably not next year, but definitely soon. I would love to see you in Australia too, whenever anyone is able to make the trip. Grammyp and her husband are already planning to visit, perhaps polardream as well. Kristene (tinyteena) |

Less Restrictive Bond Covenants. Bond documents include covenants, which are the financial compliance requirements that the borrower must meet on an annual, and sometimes quarterly, basis. For example, bond covenants frequently define the minimum number of days cash on hand or debt service coverage ratio that the borrowing organization must maintain. If the organization does not meet the covenants, the bonds governed by the covenants will be in "technical default," which has associated consequences. Covenants can limit an organization's financial flexibility, for example its ability to respond quickly to an acquisition opportunity that would reduce to below required levels, at least temporarily, liquidity indicators, such as days cash on hand. Lower-rated organizations are held to more stringent covenant standards, which limit their financial and perhaps operating flexibility.
Ability to Be Market Consolidators. A solid credit rating also can provide a major strategic and financial advantage. Market consolidators are always creditworthy organizations. In the current health care environment, strong organizations are consolidating markets by acquiring or merging with weaker competitors that are often no longer able to compete because of a lack of access to cost-effective capital. Because these organizations can offer excess capital capacity and lower capital costs, organizations with the highest credit ratings are attractive partners to those with lower ratings. Nevertheless, smaller hospitals that have strong credit positions will be less dilutive, or perhaps will even be accretive, to the credit position of larger potential partners. Whether as "consolidator" or "consolidate," bringing a strong credit profile to a partnering discussion will favorably impact the organization's ability to secure the best possible transaction for its community.
Credit Position Conclusions. Hospitals' trustees and management teams of smaller hospitals should do everything possible to preserve the strength of their organization's credit rating. In the long run, hospitals are only as strong as their own credit position. This is a "domino environment." A weak or deteriorating position can trigger more restrictive bond and bank document covenants, limit flexibility and access to different types of financing, and increase cost of capital. This results in decreased debt capacity and more difficult access to debt capital, which ultimately threatens independence. Executives must avoid knocking over the first domino.
Take Aways Over the next decade, as market changes occur and health reform regulations are defined, the quantification of impacts and risks will be more important than ever for hospitals. Every hospital should assess the expected impact of health reform and market forces on an ongoing basis and develop appropriate response strategies. Preparedness for change by organizations at all credit levels is by itself a competitive advantage. Action Items 1. Using objective market and financial data, accurately assess the hospital's current strategic and financial position, where it needs to go, and if it has the resources to get there. 2. Through sound financial management, do everything possible to preserve the strength of the hospital's credit position.
Implications for Smaller Hospitals
The challenge for many small hospitals is whether they have the scale and financial resources needed to secure a public credit rating. If they do, the next question is whether the public rating they secure is high enough to be helpful to their capital formation effort. A public rating usually is helpful, but it is not always necessary. Many of the strategies described throughout this guide involve the use of credit intermediaries, such as banks, the FHA, or other alternatives, which do not necessarily require a public rating for access to that financing alternative.

The Lions Step In
Lion Ken Ibarra of the San Bruno Lions Club and other Lions joined to help Gwen with her soup kitchen outside of the homeless shelter. As it got colder, the Lions began noticing that the people coming for soup were also cold. The Lions started bringing gloves and socks and taking donations to provide the homeless with clothing to stay warm. This effort eventually became the Warm Hands and Feet project, which helps clothe the homeless who come for food every week.
"If it weren't for the Lions, there would be no Warm Hands and Feet Drive," said Gwen. "But they stepped in and it helps hundreds of people."
Staying Warm
Gwen picks up food that is donated from the local Safe Way and Trader Joe's, and uses it to prepare soup every outside the homeless shelter every Wednesday. The Warm Hands and Feet project provides full clothing distribution, including coats for colder weather, outside the shelter as well. Homeless people in the area know the Lions are there and line up for a warm meal and clothes. The Lions help serve about 150 people every Wednesday.
Fast Facts
In addition to helping the homeless, other Lions community projects include improving public parks and playgrounds, updating food pantries and building new community facilities. The Warm Hands and Feet project is just one way in which Lions serve the people around them.

With all the consolidation reducing the number of fiber network operators and builders in the space, it's nice to see one get created now and then. Today Summit Infrastructure Group formally launched, specializing in dark fiber for data center connectivity.
Summit's initial infrastructure is in Virginia, with plans to connect metro assets in Virginia Beach with others in Richmond, Manassas, and Ashburn area already underway. The company is led by former Intellifiber executive Bill Cook, who's experience running fiber in this part of the country will obviously help.
I have added SummitIG's network map to my regional fiber maps page, and perhaps they'll supply some metro maps as well later on.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Police say a man was seriously injured when he was hit by a freight train on Nicollet Island in downtown Minneapolis.
Police responded to scene near DeLaSalle High School just after midnight Saturday on a report that a man had been hit by a train. The person who called 911 told authorities his friend's legs apparently had been severed by the train.
Police said first responders gave the victim immediate medical attention that likely saved his life.
The victim's name and condition have not been released, but police say both men are in their 30s. It wasn't immediately known if the victim's legs could be saved. The man who reported the accident was not hurt.
Police say alcohol may have been a factor in the accident.

Fred Talbot
Fred Talbot | |
Born | Frederick Talbot 17 December 1949 Edinburgh,[citation needed] Scotland |
Residence | Bowdon, Greater Manchester[1] |
Education | North Cestrian Grammar School, Altrincham, Cheshire |
Occupation | Broadcaster, meteorologist |
Years active | 1984–present |
Employer | ITV (Granada Television) |
Known for | Granada Reports This Morning |
Frederick "Fred" Talbot (born 17 December 1949) is a British television presenter and meteorologist, best known for presenting weather forecasts on ITV.
Brought up in Altrincham, Cheshire, he was a pupil at North Cestrian Grammar School and in 1964 a founding member of the Altrincham and District Astronomical Society in which he remains involved today. He co-discovered a meteor shower, the June Lyrids, in June 1966.[2]
He taught biology at Altrincham Grammar School for Boys[3] and also recorded a weekly astronomy programme for radio. In 1984, he began presenting on Granada Reports, a local news programme in North West England.[4] Granada Television later commissioned Talbot to appear in a general educational science programme for children called The Final Frontier. He remained a regular reporter for Granada Reports becoming a weatherman for the ITV's This Morning in 1988.[4]
Until production of This Morning was moved from the Albert Dock, Liverpool to London, Talbot presented weather reports from a large floating map of the British Isles in the dock. He was forced to jump across a gap to go back and forth between Ireland and Britain; crowds often gathered to watch his leap. On one occasion, a diver swam near the map to distract Talbot and on another a streaker swam naked up to the map and jumped on.[5]
In 1998, Talbot was named 'Weatherman of the year' at the Annual International Weather Festival in Paris.[6]
In 2006, Talbot presented a regional series for ITV Granada called Locks and Quays which explored the canal system of North West England.[7] This was followed by a second series in 2007 presented by Matthew Corbett.[7]
To celebrate the centenary in 2007 of Alfred Wainwright, the writer of the Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, Talbot undertook a series of walks from each of the seven guidebooks for the ITV Granada programme Wainwright Country.[8]
In February 2009, he began presenting weather forecasts for ITV Granada[9] and he occasionally provides cover for ITV Central. Talbot also produces occasional reports for Granada Reports, including a Where's Fred? feature where viewers have to guess which city, town or village he has been out and about in. He last appeared in November 2012. Additionally, he also appeared on CITV's Prove It! where he demonstrated to children how to use simple home items to perform various fun and interesting experiments.
In 2010 and 2011, Talbot acted as a weather forecaster on ITV Breakfast programme Daybreak.
Talbot is also a popular after-dinner speaker.[10]
On 9 April 2013 it was announced that Talbot had been arrested by police investigating allegations of historical child sex abuse at Altrincham Grammar School for Boys between the early 1970s and early 1980s. He has not been on air as a weatherman on Granada Reports since the allegations surfaced but is not suspended.[11] On 16 December 2013, it was reported that Talbot had been re-arrested by police in connection with the allegations.[12] On 27 January 2014, Greater Manchester Police announced that Talbot had been charged with ten historical sex offences,[13] and was charged with a further sexual assault on 13 June 2014.[14]
Talbot's trial began in January 2015.[15]
In 2007 Talbot was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Science by Manchester Metropolitan University in recognition of bringing to a mass audience, through his media work, a better understanding of scientific and environmental issues in a way that is educational, interesting and entertaining.[3]

How to Open a Medical Marijuana Collective? How to Open a Cannabis Dispensary? What are the rules on Medical Marijuana Growing? Do the laws allow Delivery of Medical Marijuana? These are the type of legal questions that bring people to our law office seeking the benefit of 28 years of experience, meeting with court qualified expert in support of the 420 defense, attorney Stewart Richlin. Mr. Richlin is a civil rights lawyer, someone with broad experience in representing plaintiffs as to their civil rights, with expert knowledge of the court system, and in particular the rights of medical marijuana patients in California. We are literally pioneers in this area of law. This is 420LawOffice, the internet home of civil rights lawyer Stewart Richlin, Esq . Call now to Book an appointment for your Super Intensive Consultation on 420 Law in Los Angeles near downtown. Along with your education one on one with a court qualified expert lawyer on this topic, someone who can definitively answer your questions, you can also get the Do It Yourself NonProfit Corporate Kit. If you have a collective that has been discriminated against, we can sue your City or County to protect medical marijuana rights in Superior court, and/or in administrative proceedings. Mr. Richlin also provides Expert Witness services to support the medical marijuana defense. Call today for your appointment, we are standing by for you.
Here are some frequently asked questions:
What kind of entity or business form is required by California law? The California Attorney General's Guidelines clearly set forth that the only entity that can raise a defense for growing, transporting and distributing medical marijuana for its member patients or perform other social services including educational services regarding marijuana growing, etc., is a properly formed and operated California non-profit organization. Due to various considerations, the Collective emerges as the best entity to create by and through a nonprofit corporation. In our meeting we analyze the Individual, Caregiver, Collective/Cooperative defenses; dispensaries, deliveries, and grows. To make an appointment to discuss and analyze your legal rights as a patient, How to Start a Collective, what are the federal, state, and local ramifications, etc., call now, 888-420-LAW-1 or 323-540-4420. The initial consultation is $500 and it is described further here (press for link).
How do the collectives Educate patients about medical marijuana, Distribute, Grow and Transport Medical Marijuana pursuant to State law, and can they do so despite the federal felony, 5 year and $250,000 fine for each sale less than 100 lbs. which remains on the books?? State law makes it very clear: ONLY A PROPER NONPROFIT collective may perform these activities, and Federal law maintains the felony penalties: a total conflict of law! A properly formed and operated collective should have a perfectly good State law defense under the medcal marijuana laws…….
But What about Federal law? See our Law Comic: you will see that the collective members of this State are actually civil-disobedience heroes like Ghandi and Martin Luther King for caring for their patient members notwithstanding the heavy federal penalties. But all is not lost for medical marijuana patients at the federal level: Attorney General Holder has essentially announced the policy of the Federal government will be to make enforcement of federal law a low priority in deference to State law as to individual patients, and their caregivers, provided State law is perfectly adhered-to. Nonetheless, Federal Law still holds cultivation and sales to be felonies, and the federal government is committed to enforcing the controlled substances act. The Cole Memorandum (June, 2011) gives further guidance as does the recent sentencing announcement you can view at http://youtu.be/We1kiNBzhtk
Can your office help us establish a collective? You will be informed and empowered with all forms and documents necessary to establish a collective and with information on the required government filings. Our office can give you unlimited information pursuant to the first amendment of the US Constitution and the Federal case of Conant v Walters. However, our office will not take active steps on your behalf; we will not participate in any part of the medical marijuana law that facilitates commercial marijuana growing or selling operations, and we will not facilitate nor assist in any way in any activity, that facilitates, normalizes, standardizes, expedites, or assists in the establishment of facilities set up for the commercial growing and selling of marijuana. Remember, only legitimate non-profit activity by patients with legitimate needs will successfully be able to raise the defense of medical marijuana under State and Local law; profiteers, gangsters, opportunists, money launderers will not and are not welcome as our clients.
Under State law, individuals, caregivers, and collectives may raise the medical marijuana defense for their cultivation, transportation, distribution of marijuana as well as provide educational activities, counseling and social services. However, even a perfectly set forth state collective defense will not eliminate the possibility of federal prosecution, as Federal courts will not permit the medical marijuana defense. To make an appointment to discuss and analyze your legal rights as a patient, How to Start a Collective, what are the federal, state, and local ramifications, etc., call now, 888-420-LAW-1 or 323-540-4420. The initial consultation is $500 and it is described further here (press for link).
Stewart Richlin, Esq. has been an attorney for 25 years and has worked in several A/V rated law firms. Having attended UCLA and Southwestern University School of Law, Stew received his Juris Doctorate degree in 1985 with an award for outstanding scholarship in Real Estate. Compare and demand qualified legal services. When evaluating professionals, avoid an attorney who wants to become your partner, one who uses unlicensed runners or cappers, or who makes unusual or unprofessional promises that no ethical lawyer could keep.
Mr. Richlin has counseled thousands on Medical Marijuana Law, has victoriously represented dispensaries in Superior Court, in administrative and legislative hearings, and most recently succeeded in briefing and arguing significant portions of a recent successful injunction application in Los Angeles. During the Bush administration, Mr. Richlin successfully defended 100% of about twenty 420 evictions based on the federal forfeiture threat letters of 2007, including to and through trial and judgment for the defense in Los Angeles Superior Court. During 2010 Mr. Richlin entered into litigation versus the City of Los Angeles, significantly participated in the oral arguments and written briefs and obtained a partial preliminary injunction, which caused the City to rewrite a more equitable ordinance. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be of service.
Our practice focuses on civil law, not criminal, and Mr. Richlin practices specifically and exclusively throughout all of the territory and all of the State and Federal courts in the State of California.
