Lex boy jailed for alleged beating of home invader

LEXINGTON— A Lexington man was arrested Wednesday after allegedly severely beating a would-be robber with his own pistol.
Michael Atkins, 17, of Lexington was charged in Dawson County Court Wednesday with assault and use of a weapon to commit a felony. Lexington Police Chief Charlie Clark said Atkins assaulted Ernesto Guerrero, 26, of Grand Island after Guerrero allegedly tried to rob him at gunpoint Nov. 23.
Guerrero tried to rob Atkins' west-central Lexington home, which he shares with his mother. Clark said she was not home at the time.
"He (Guerrero) walked into a home and stuck a gun in the guy's (Atkins') face," Clark said.
Several of Atkins' friends arrived, and a fight began. Guerrero tried to flee, but Atkins tackled him in the yard and "beat him severely with his own pistol," Clark said.
Clark said Atkins was acting in self-defense when he took the gun away from Guerrero, but "it ceases to be self-defense, especially when you pistol whip the guy over the head with his own gun."
Clark said authorities are not sure whether anyone else was involved in the beating and are still searching for suspects. He said Guerrero had at least one accomplice in the robbery, but police have not yet identified that person.
Guerrero was transported privately to Cozad Community Hospital where he was treated overnight. He was arrested in Grand Island last weekend and brought to Lexington on Monday. He has been charged in county court with robbery and use of a weapon to commit a felony and is being held in the Dawson County Jail on a $10,000 bond.
Robbery and use of a firearm to commit a felony are both Class II felonies punishable by up to 50 years and a minimum of one year in prison.
Atkins was charged with second-degree assault, a Class IIIA felony punishable by up to five years in prison, a $10,000 fine or both. He was also charged with use of a firearm to commit a felony, a Class II felony, and unlawful possession of a revolver, a Class III misdemeanor punishable by up to three months in jail, a $500 fine or both.
Atkins was arrested at about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday when he reported to his probation officer. He is on probation from juvenile court. He is being held on a $5,000 bond in the Dawson County Jail.
Clark said the gun has not been found, but police were told it is a revolver.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The real Zetas, like any ambitious mafia, have expanded into many
different rackets, says Stephen Meiners, a Latin America analyst for
STRATFOR, a global intelligence company based in Austin, Texas. "The
Zetas have been a very good case study for what happens to Mexican
criminal organizations when the government crackdown makes it harder to
traffic drugs across Mexico. The result for the Zetas has been that they
expanded to other forms of criminal activity in order to make money,"
Meiners says.

While most forecasts regard China's ascent as almost inevitable, not
everybody is so sanguine. George Friedman, founder and chief executive of
geopolitical analysis firm STRATFOR, believes China will fragment by
2020. "I don't share the view that China is going to be a major world
power," Friedman wrote in "The Next 100 Years," which ambitiously attempts
to predict the entire upcoming century. "I don't even believe it will hold
together as a unified country."
-- Reuters (UK); Oct. 1 -
STRATFOR noted that even if the AWACS had been integrated into Iran's air
defense network, which analysts say has many shortcomings, "it would not
have provided Iran with much of a leg up. Iran's central defense strategy
does not rely on its air force. Knowing all too well where its qualitative
disadvantages lie, Iran focuses on asymmetric challenges to conventional
military power.

Best-Dressed Celebrities and Models | Nov. 16, 2012
This Week's Best Dressed
Style-wise, this week was one for the books. Tuesday's CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards brought the industry out in full force to support US design talent; veterans (Tommy Hilfiger, Carolina Herrera, Diane von Furstenberg), fresh-faced nominees (winner Greg Chait, Tabitha Simmons, Wes Gordon), past winners (Joseph Altuzarra, Billy Reid, Prabal Gurung), models (Karlie Kloss, Carolyn Murphy, Miranda Kerr), and even actors (Emma Stone, Tobey Maguire) rubbed shoulders in their spruced-up finest, and it all made for one insanely chic gathering indeed.
On Thursday, Stefano Tonchi hosted a much less formal (but no less fun) event at Gramercy Park Hotel in honor of W's 40th anniversary. Iris Apfel, Joan Smalls, Natasha Poly, and Genevieve Jones were among those who kicked off the celebration with an intimate dinner at the hotel's Rosebar downstairs, then later the well-heeled crowd continued the party upstairs on the recently redone terrace. Guests munched on tiny W-decorated cupcakes while sipping one of four decade-inspired cocktails and craning their necks for a glimpse of Tilda Swinton, the evening's purported cohost. While we never did see Swinton, we did spot Johan Lindeberg and Jenna Lyons meeting for the first time.

Global Warming Felt By Space Junk and Satellites
samzenpus posted more than 2 years ago | from the it's-getting-hot-in-here dept.
224An anonymous reader writes in with a story about another side effect of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. "Rising carbon dioxide levels at the edge of space are apparently reducing the pull that Earth's atmosphere has on satellites and space junk, researchers say. The findings suggest that man made increases in carbon dioxide might be having effects on the Earth that are larger than expected, scientists added... in the highest reaches of the atmosphere, carbon dioxide can actually have a cooling effect. The main effects of carbon dioxide up there come from its collisions with oxygen atoms. These impacts excite carbon dioxide molecules, making them radiate heat. The density of carbon dioxide is too thin above altitudes of about 30 miles (50 kilometers) for the molecules to recapture this heat. Cooling the upper atmosphere causes it to contract, exerting less drag on satellites."

Hello everyone!
I have just asked myself, if it is a good idea to use an IR of a Leslie for
simulating a Leslie. Correct me, if I'm bloody stupid, but working on the
basics of convolution, it doesn't look promising. Since you take the IR of the
Leslie and then apply the full IR to each sample, meaning, that you might get
more of a whirling reverb? Or is there another technique, to apply an IR and
cycles. Just one "sample" of the IR to one sample of the input signal.
If I am completely wrong, a simple no will suffice. My knowledge of this is
basic. I've only got some knowledge from a lecture called "signal theory' to
back me up and it should probably be called "an introduction to" or "basics
of" at that. :-)

Ann Romney says no more campaigns
WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's wife says her husband will not run again if this race doesn't turn out the way they hope.
Ann Romney told ABC's "The View" Thursday that it was "a very hard thing" to put her family through another White House bid after he lost the 2008 Republican primary. She said she agreed because she feels her husband can bring economic prosperity to America, but they "absolutely" will not do it again if he loses.

June 27 (Bloomberg) -- The rule is: Racehorses must have actual sex for their foals to be thoroughbreds. In an era of widespread artificial insemination, Australian breeder Bruce McHugh says that's wrong and has sued to void the rule in his country. If he wins, he might change horse breeding worldwide.
The requirements that horses, in effect, get a stable and go at it "are in restraint of trade" and thus unenforceable, McHugh, former chairman of the Sydney Turf Club said in a complaint filed in the Federal Court of Australia.
Artificial insemination is common in other types of breeding, he argued. Two-thirds of U.S. dairy cows and three quarters of the pigs in 2005 were produced through that method, according to Steve Blezinger, a nutritional and management consultant in Texas. Even humans use artificial insemination to reproduce without penalty.
A win "will bring thoroughbred racing into the 21st century," McHugh said of his case, which is set to go to trial in Sydney Aug. 29.
The lawsuit is rattling a multibillion-dollar global industry, where a thriving breeding trade has developed. Each year owners of the world's most-prized horses, including Dubai's ruler Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, send so-called shuttle stallions around the globe to breed with mares, collecting fees which have exceeded $330,000 per mating episode.
A court victory for McHugh could make Australia a trend- setter, tempting stud book operators around the world to follow its lead in allowing the registration of offspring from artificially inseminated mares and saving money in the process.
Shut Out?
Alternatively, if no one followed Australia's lead, that country might find itself shut out of the racing industry.
U.S., British and other regulators might ban the progeny of Australia's artificially inseminated mares from their tracks, said Paul Higgins, owner of Baerami Thoroughbreds in Hunter Valley, New South Wales, the world's second-biggest horse- breeding region after Kentucky.
"I think the initial stance would be very hard," Higgins, who has as many as 300 horses on 1,000 acres of rolling fields near Denman, New South Wales, said at his ranch home. "Things will soften very quickly, and they'll eventually be saying we're at the forefront."
Higgins said he's not taking a position in this dispute.
Horse breeders "are motivated by recognition and pursuit of prestige," said Gerald Ng, lawyer for the Australian Racing Board Ltd., one of the defendants in the suit. Owners had also used the breeding operations as tax write-offs, he told federal court judge Alan Robertson at a June 22 hearing in Sydney.
Tax Returns
"Brood mare owners are not necessarily profit-maximizing economic agents," Ng said at the hearing, where Robertson dismissed his request for access to tax returns of Tony Hartnell. Hartnell, a former chairman of the Australia Securities and Investment Commission, plans to testify in support of McHugh.
Ng had sought to show Hartnell used the losses from the horse venture to reduce his income taxes.
To be eligible to race, thoroughbreds must be registered in a recognized stud book. In Australia the stud book dates back to 1878, when the first one was compiled by William C. Yuille, sporting editor of the Melbourne Weekly Times, according to the organization's website.
The book preserves an official record and ensures the integrity of the thoroughbred breeding industry, the organization said. Racing associations in other countries keep stud books. More than 70 Stud Book Authorities are members of the International Stud Book Committee.
The prohibition of any form of artificial insemination was one of the first issues discussed when the committee met for the first time in Paris in 1976.
Position Maintained
The international committee has always recognized that a challenge to the ban on artificial insemination may come, "but in common with Racing Authorities, has maintained that it would not be in the interest of the industry to change," the group said on its website.
Michael Ford, keeper of the Australian Stud Book, had told the Brisbane Times in 2009 that it would be "definitely foolish" for Australia to allow artificial insemination unilaterally and face international bans on horses produced in the country.
Livia Bartoletti, general counsel for the Australian Turf Club which co-owns the stud book, said Ford couldn't comment because the McHugh case is pending.
McHugh, a would-be breeder, said in court papers that allowing artificial insemination will reduce costs for both owners of stallions and mares, since transportation of the horses for a physical get-together could be eliminated.
Injury Risks
"Direct breeding involves transportation costs, and agistment costs as well as servicing fees," McHugh said in the court papers, using the industry's phrase for grazing. "Transport increases the risk of injury to the mare."
With artificial methods the number of mares a stallion could impregnate could rise five- or six-fold, costing much less as the increased supply would reduce prices, Higgins said. Currently stallions can generally mate with about 80 mares each breeding season, he said.
There is already an oversupply of horses in Australia, and the use of artificial insemination would "exacerbate the disequilibrium," Ng said at the June 22 hearing.
The American Quarter Horse Association dropped its ban on registration of foals produced through embryo transfers, a form of artificial insemination, as part of an out-of-court settlement in 2002 after a Texas judge ruled the restrictions violated the state's antitrust law.
The Thoroughbred Breeders' Association of Australia has successfully applied to be included as a party in the Sydney lawsuit on the defendants' side. The association opposes artificial insemination, saying it would endanger the Australian industry.
The case is Between Bruce McHugh and the Australian Jockey Club Ltd. NSD1187/2009. Federal Court of Australia (Sydney).

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

AP: US spy drones flown over Mexico since 2009
By OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ, Associated Press Olga R. Rodriguez, Associated Press
- Thu Mar 17, 12:25 am ET
MEXICO CITY - U.S. Customs and Border Protection has been surreptitiously
flying Predator drones into Mexico for two years, helping Mexican
authorities spy on suspected drug traffickers, The Associated Press has
The border security agency's surveillance flights, approved by Mexico but
never announced by either country, predate occasional flights into Mexico
by the U.S. Air Force's $38 million Global Hawk drone that began last
Mexico's National Security Council said in a statement Wednesday that
unmanned aircraft have flown over Mexico on specific occasions, mainly
along the border with the U.S., to gather information at the request of
the Mexican government.
The flights expand the U.S. role in the drug war, in which Americans
already have been training Mexican soldiers and police as well as
cooperating on other intelligence.
"When these operations are carried out, they are always done with the
authorization, oversight and supervision of national agencies, including
the Mexican Air Force," the council said.
It said Mexico always defines the objectives, the information to be
gathered and the specific tasks in which the drones will be used and
insisted the operations respected Mexican law, civil and human rights.
The drones "have been particularly useful in achieving various objectives
of combating crime and have significantly increased Mexican authorities'
capabilities and technological superiority in its fight against crime,"
the council said.
The drones, which cost more than $10 million each, are equipped with
cameras that can identify an object the size of a milk carton, provide
real-time images to ground control operators and can fly for more than 30
hours without having to refuel, according to the U.S. Congressional
Research Service.
The Global Hawk drone operations were first reported Wednesday by The New
York Times, which said they began last month under an agreement between
President Barack Obama and Mexico's leader, Felipe Calderon. AP's
reporting found that similar operations using a different kind of drone
have been going on since 2009.
The flights were quickly criticized by some Mexican politicians, who have
often been sensitive to the involvement of U.S. agencies on Mexican soil.
Sen. Ricardo Monreal of the leftist Labor Party said having U.S. drones
flying over Mexico is "unconstitutional and it violates national
sovereignty." He issued a statement accusing Calderon's government of
being "too submissive to the neighbor to the north" and said Mexico's
Senate was never informed of either drone operation.
Last week, the Mexican Senate voted to summon Mexico's ambassador to the
U.S., Arturo Sarukhan, to talk about allegations that U.S. agents allowed
guns to be smuggled into Mexico as part of investigations into drug
More than 35,000 people have died since Calderon launched a stepped-up
offensive against the cartels upon taking office in late 2006.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection began flying Predator B drones into
Mexico in early 2009, said an official at the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security with knowledge of the operations. The official agreed to discuss
the program only if not quoted by name.
The agency operates four Predator B's along the border, the official said.
They are similar to craft used by the U.S. military to make missile
strikes on suspected terrorists in Pakistan, though the model used by the
border agency is equipped with only advanced surveillance equipment, not
weapons. Unlike the high-altitude Global Hawk, the smaller $4 million
Predator typically flies at around 18,000 feet.
The Predator flights were first suggested by the U.S. border agency, but
once they actually started the missions were based on specific requests
from the Mexican government and were done with a Mexican official at the
command center where the flight was controlled, the official said.
"They only occur based on intelligence from the Mexicans," the official
The Predator flights continue and there have been dozens of them into
Mexico, the official said. Mexico responded to the U.S. proposal by
requesting flights twice a week, but that was soon scaled back to once
every other week, the official said.
A former Customs and Border Protection employee close to the drone program
said the flights were not that frequent. In 2009, he said, there were
occasional "proof of concept" flights, which would last about 10 hours and
would venture no more than 10 miles south of the border. The former
employee insisted on speaking anonymously because of the sensitivity of
the subject.
Juan Munoz-Torres, spokesman for Customs and Border Protection,
acknowledged that in July 2009, the agency sent a drone into Mexico to
help investigate the murder of CBP Agent Robert Rosas, who was shot and
killed while on patrol near San Diego.
"At the request of the U.S. government and concurrence of the government
of Mexico, the (drone) was flown in Mexico airspace to support law
enforcement officers assigned to search and apprehend agent Rosas' murder
suspects who fled into Mexico," Munoz-Torres said.
A 17-year-old boy later turned himself in to U.S. authorities, pleaded
guilty to Rosas' murder, and was sentenced last year to 40 years in
federal prison.
When asked about U.S. drones flying into Mexico, Department of Homeland
Security spokesman Matt Chandler said Wednesday that his agency "actively
partners with our neighbors to the north and south on a wide variety of
law enforcement missions, and shares mutually beneficial information and
security resources when appropriate."
There is a 20-year history of U.S. government aircraft flying over Mexican
territory in pursuit of drug activity.
Starting in 1990, U.S. Customs pilots routinely flew small Cessna Citation
2 jets with a Mexican co-pilot over northern Mexico to hunt for
drug-runners' aircraft. The program, known as Operation Halcon, started
after U.S. efforts to stop drug smugglers flying small airplanes into the
U.S. territory prompted traffickers to land just on the Mexican side of
the border and then load up drugs for a drive north.
In May 2001, former commissioner of U.S. Customs Service Charles Winwood
told a U.S. Senate committee that Customs had two Cessnas stationed in
Mexico, one in Hermosillo and the other in Monterrey. The U.S. had others
stationed elsewhere in Latin America.
Operation Halcon ended in part because U.S. officials could not get the
Mexican government to give U.S. personnel immunity in case of an accident
in Mexico.

Kent Haruf has received prestigious awards, including a special citation from the PEN/Hemingway Foundation for his finely-tuned works. Before the opening chapter of this novel, Haruf offers a definition. Plainsong is "any simple and unadorned melody or air." Direct yet elegant, Haruf's Plainsong is a hymn to the breadth of the human spirit.
A high school history teacher in a small Colorado town, Guthrie is raising his two young sons alone. Thoughtful and honest, he is guiding them through a world that is not always kind. Victoria, one of his students, is pregnant, homeless, and vulnerable to the scorn of the town. When Guthrie helps two elderly ranchers take the young woman into their home, an unlikely extended family is born. As the chapters of these people's lives alternate throughout Plainsong, loneliness and need are transformed into nourishing bonds. Narrator Tom Stechschulte captures the subtle changes that bring the men, women, and children together. His performance highlights every shading of this superb New York Times best-seller.

Say something about yourself!
"A beautiful read"
One of those books that when you reach the end, you just wish it wasn't so.
"Comfort food for the brain"
N/A. I have not read the book.
I liked them all. The McPheran brothers, though were especially entertaining.
He is a good reader who captures the manner of speech in that part of Colorado well. I am a Co. Native who has been to Yuma (Holt) many times.
It wouldn't work well as a movie.
After a steady diet of spicy food, (thrillers and action novels) I needed some comfort food. This hit the spot.
"A taste of Real Life"
This is a story I can relate to - the characters are as real as life itself. Narrator does an excellent job
Can't compare Plainsong to any other author - it is unique
Tom's delivery provides flavor - his ability to create characters with different voice inflections is very valuable
Just an excellent work - the kind of story that you can connect with. Finishing this story made me crave for more.
Which came first... the books or the glasses?
"Small Town Story of People w/ Big Hearts"
I really liked this story. Atfer listening to it for a little bit I wondered 'where is it going' but I soon relaxed into the book and enjoyed the ride. The narrator is very good. The flow of the novel and the stories of the different characters is very good. It will stay with me for a while now that the last word has been spoken. There is another novel, perhaps not quite a sequel but has some of the same characters, called "Eventide".
"Loved the story; Performance Painful"
Compelling characters provided a unique, full, perspective of small-town life. The story has a timelessness that made me want to stay with it, even though the falsetto voce narration of the female characters was painful.
Characters were developed in intimate, compassionate detail. The author moved masterfully between view points of the primary characters: 2 young brothers learning about death, 2 old bachelor brothers completely changing their household, a middle-aged man rebuilding his identity and a young, unmarried girl learning to become a mother.
Mr. Stechschulte did a fine job reading male characters, but his falsettos were grating for the female characters. Since I'm new to audio books, I don't have a recommendation.
No. It stands alone beautifully.
"This is a good one."
T.S is, as always, a great reader- Sometimes I choose a book just because he's reading. He has yet to read a bad one.
The book builds slowly and evenly a great story with some wonderful characters. Some of the characters are from a time that is past and missed today.
There might be a beautiful story here to be told but for me profanity, crude language and graphic sex scenes ruin it. I quickly learned that this book was not my forte.
"Interesting -"
I finished this book the weekend the author died. My sympathies to the family. It the author lived his life as thoughtful as his writing he was a wonderful being I am sure.
The characters and the proses are beautifully crafted, I loved the writing. But if you listen, expect a very subtle overlay of simple stories that unfold slowly. There is no big dramatic moment, anywhere; rather it is beautiful writing about people you could know, trying to figure out their lives that occasionally intersect.
"Hemingway redux"
Seriously, the author channels Hemingway in several respects. For starters, he never met a compound sentence he didn't like. Maybe this is more obvious listening than it would be reading, but the cadence sounds an awfully lot like For Whom the Bell Tolls. Then there are the inexplicable plot detours. At one point, for example, the boys get on a horse and take a long (at least the description is long) ride whose point is never really clear. Maybe it's just me, but I felt like that often reading Hemingway.
That said, the story itself is kind of nice. The characters are clearly defined and the narrator does a good job of distinguishing them. The nature of a small town and the interactions therein are well handled, but this is not Mayberry by any stretch. The plot line about the pregnant teenager and the elderly bachelors is especially charming.
This was different than the books I usually read/listen to, but I'm glad I did.
Writer of The Majick Series
This story is disjointed. The characters do and say things that make no sense. The writer leaves dozens of questions and never resolves any of them. The dialog is stilted and weird.
There are some bright spots in the story but the writer never quite let's us connect with the characters.
It is as if the plot and outline were written and the rest was just to fill in the blanks.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

First time poster. so be kind
Hi All,
I have found a bit of shared code on the net that can be used on Facebook. The way it is used is on profiles, or groups, that extend beyond an original page. You load the page and then paste the script into the address bar (in FF and chrome) and hit enter. This then goes down and looks for the 'older post' tag and expands it every 4 seconds. When it gets to the end of the group, it does not stop, it just goes into a loop and restarts from the beginning. I am wanting help to get it to stop at the end of the first pass.
This is the code:
Code:javascript:function clrt(){alert('Stopped Post Load');if(f_sM){clearTimeout(f_sM);}};function showMore(){ProfileStream.getInstance().showMore();f_sM = setTimeout(showMore, 4000); xsm=document.getElementById('profile_pager_container');xsm.addEventListener('click',clrt,false)}; showMore();
Code:javascript:function showMore() {ProfileStream.getInstance().showMore(); setTimeout(showMore, 4000)} showMore();

Is it capricious for me to say this Fiesta is the best subcompact I have ever sampled? Its refinement, handling prowess, style, and interior make up for the fact that it's oozing-molasses slow. It's not tippy like a Honda Fit, disconnected like the Scion xD, or annoyingly hip like our Four Seasons Nissan Cube.
To the naked eye, it seems that Ford didn't change much about the exterior in the transformation from the Euro-spec Fiesta. This is a very good thing. The hatchback is definitely the body style of choice; the sedan's three-bar grille up front looks silly, and the ovoid rear borders on zaftig. Our test car's thoroughly maroon exterior isn't as bright as other color options, but it makes the Fiesta stand out among the sea of similar subcompacts.
The Euro-inspired interior has the same transformative power of the Volkswagen Golf, in that it makes you feel like you've purchased a more expensive car. Ergonomically, everything works; soft-touch elbow padding on the doors is the perfect antidote to the lack of center armrest. The level of material quality feels light-years above the Focus (which costs more), and Ford tastefully omitted slabs of Americanized fake-aluminum. Seats are nicely padded, although there's next to no headroom or legroom for rear passengers when a six-footer is at the helm. The best part about the interior, though, has to be Sync. If every manufacturer's infotainment system worked as seamlessly, the world would be a better place. I barked commands in funny accents, and foreign song titles, and it didn't skip a beat.
The Fiesta is just as attractive on twisty roads. It corners flat, which is more than can be said for the Fit or the xD. Our test example's tires were more than up to the task of entertaining along winding Huron River Drive. Shifting action is extremely light, and the clutch's super-high takeup basically means shifting requires but a tap of the leftmost pedal. I am a fan of the manual gearbox, especially in situations where downshifting becomes necessary for passing, but I realize that the six-speed dual-clutch transmission probably comes into its own on the highway. A sixth cog for the stick shift would quiet down the engine, for sure.
No, it's not fast, and no, it's not a particularly capacious hauler (although I did manage two vacation-size suitcases, stacked one on top of the other, in the trunk, with the seats up!). Talking with David Zenlea while he washed his prized Pontiac Grand Prix on a Sunday morning, I noted that this is a hatchback I'd spend my own money on. He replied, "So, I bet that makes this the first Ford you've ever recommended." At this car's $18,000 price, larger and more powerful competitors do exist, but the Fiesta manages to recapture all of the joy of going out for a drive. Are we still talking about a Ford here?

SWMBO and I will be in Philly the weekend of May 1st in the Historic District. I get to pick the place to eat one night. If you could pick one place , walking distance form the Liberty Bell, to go where would it be. Not sure if there are any brewpubs around there that would be worth going to, or should I just find a good historic place with good food and beer.
I thought The City Tavern was an interesting place. It serves "historical" food and beers.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. - C. S. Lewis, English essayist & juvenile novelist (1898 - 1963)
That is a great area to drink great beer! All the info you need here
Monk's Cafe, no if's and's or buts about it.
Triumph is good too, but I like the one in New Hope the best. Take the ride down to Yards in the morning though, best beer made in Philly.
Well, since the trip occured the week of May 1st, I'm not sure how useful these latest updates are to the OP, but thank you for playing!

Thanks, folks, I do believe I'm an addict. When I walked into Rich's Foxwillow Pines Nursery on Weds morning, I phoned my sister to let her know that I was "in trouble". The amount of beauty and selection was staggering. The fact that so much is planted in the ground, growing naturally in a wooded setting, all mixed up in sizes and shapes, just creates such a wonderful place for discovery. Awesome place. (Thank you again, Ken!) I did not know how much I like Pinus. I was most drawn to the parvifloras and I plan to go back and get a few...with the trailer. For my first visit, I bought two Sylvestris Aurea's...one shrub and one tree. They are both "Nirbeth's" which I'm sure you'rea all familir with the "not a legitimate name" thing. I have to go pick up the shrub, as it's pretty big. But this little cutie, I did bring home. I have like TEN places I could put it, so that obviously means I will be needing more conifers. |

looks good, I was at rich's place last Friday, a little too early because they had 2 trailers they were unloading, I did manage to pick up a magnolia tripetala (you have to see their specimen tree when it is bloom!), and a pinus parviflora 'kin-po', got to ride on the golf cart with Susie as an extra bonus, if you have'nt already make sure you check out their Norway sprue 'virgata' that's by the road when you go back, my favorite jim |
- Posted by ken_adrian MI z5 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 12:13
i have never been there ... sounds like a utopia ... especially for someone who was looking for hosta.. lol .. my aurea has much more longer needles.. consistent with a regular sylvestrus ... i am confused by your pic.. in that regard ... especially with whatever you are trying to say about Nirbeth's i presume that is a pic siting.. rather than a permanent siting ... it |
Every Wisconsinite should go there at least once and its tough not to pick up a plant or two. Once you fully indulge yourself you'll want to consider mail order. Rich's is unfortunately only for the rich. Some of the 3 gallon and 6 gallon price points are ok but beyond that it tough to support conifer addition For example Picea pungens Walnut Glenn, 3 gallon at $77. Yep lets do that. Pinus banksiana 'Schoodic 3 gallon for $110. Hell no. I'm going to Dan's Dwarf conifers and getting a 2 gallon for $30. Nice pick up on the plant. Mine for some reason was a dull yellow all winter and then in late March when the soil thawed, it turned a really nice gold. |
P. parviflora 'Fukai', a 2011 purchase from Rich's Foxwillow Pine Nursery (it was about $100 in a 3 gallon container, as I recall). I candle pruned it in 2012 and will do so again this year. |
Thank you for the responses, sorry not to respond earlier...I actually did a long response and then hit the windows button on keyboard (or some button) and lost everything. Then I was out of time to re-type. Coniferapprentice...is the magnolia tripetala that huge tree they have along the walk not too far from main building and near some pots on a set of "bleechers". I saw a huge magnolia that had branches looking like a buck's horns gone long and wild. Susie showed me some "sticks" in pots that were available of that tree, but I didn't catch the name because I didn't want anything I had to wait that long for. Ken, regarding the "Nirbeth's"....my tag says the following: "Pinus Sylvestris Nirbeth's Aurea ....not a legitimate name" It really made me laugh...why would something be labeled as "not a legitimate name" rather than putting the legitimate name on there. I guess the legit name is Aurea Nisbet, according to Coniferjoy here on the threads. Rich's had quite a few different shapes/sizes, the Aurea's (with no Nisbet) seem to have longer needles. Yeah, and the window pic is not the site for it, just wanted to enjoy it from window until planted. Wassercom, LOVE the Fukai! They had some large Fukai in the ground and I fell in love with the parvifloras more than anything else. They had a huge amount of cultivars to choose from....I want to go in that golfcart and look in the field for one, like Coniferapprentice got to do. I had my eye on a 12 foot Cleary, but we'll see. Have to take the trailer. Whaas, yeah, the prices sort of make you gulp. I want to mix a few special purchases with some carefully selected "standard nursery cultivars" and as many bargains that I can find, to create a place I enjoy. I don't think I quite consider myself a "collector", I just like to learn from all of you collectors, cuz you know your stuff! I am of simple means and don't live extravagantly, so I'm not opposed to writing the check on a special tree if I really want one. |
- Posted by ken_adrian MI z5 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 30, 14 at 10:51
at some point in time.. it was no longer acceptable to use latin as a cultivar name.. that is the part.. usually in quotes ... as in Pinus Sylvestris 'Nirbeth's Aurea' 2 thumbs up.. for rich actually noting that on the tag ... the aurea means a yellow plant ... so calling nirbeths yellow plant 'yellow' .. is redundant..and repetitive ... go figure on that ... but i doubt that is the reason for the nomenclature rule... whatever joy said the current name is.. that is probably it .... so what ... you know what it is ... and its not just plain aurea.. as you typed originally ... to my eye.. the needles are shorter ... and it follows that it probably has a dwarf annual growth rate.. as compared to the aurea .... and thats why your pic looked odd to me ... as i was confused as to why rich would sell such a specimen as that as an aurea ... still having fun?? .. making plans to go back for a few more to plant in fall ... lol ... ken |
- Posted by coniferapprentice 5 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 30, 14 at 22:22
mary, yes the large magnolia is by the walk across from the bleechers, my 4 year old told his mom that poppa gotta a "stick" when I showed her the 1 gallon pot, lol, they use the golf cart to shuttle you around the nursery, but if your looking for a large tree they have most of those on their farm that is down the road jim |

I understand, 'RGJ'. When it comes to writing these articles (and setting them up), you're virtually a "one-man operation", and there are other things outside this website that are taking up more of your time right now. I think I speak for most everyone who visits here when I say…as long as you keep contributing these "obscur" insights into TV history, I don't care HOW long it is inbetween postings!
RGJ what you do is provide a service to all of us that love these obscure little tidbits about TV that most people wouldn't know or even care about and for that and for this website we are truly greatful. If it weren't for you alot of these things would be lost to time .
Well said, 'Cee Jay'! Any other comments and compliments out there?
