The lights, the carols, the shopping-mall Santas: verily, 'tis 'Tis the Season season once again. The 'tis-ing started early this year (mid-October!) and shows no sign of abating. In fact, this year I discovered a Tis the Season store—correction, "Christmas Shoppe"—in Millersburg, Ohio. (The apostrophe on that Tis is mysteriously missing.) And if the website design is any indication, this is a place to shoppe till you droppe in a queasy stupor.
Cliché: check. White-outlined letters: check. Olde Englishe spelling: check. Busy background photo: check. Squiggly clip art: check.
Misspelled "its": check.
So that's where the apostrophe went!
It's been two years since my last 'tis-the-season-palooza, so my sleigh is full. You have been warned.
And in case you're wondering why I bother, here's Baltimore Sun editor John McIntyre once again on this ubiquitous holiday cliché. He addresses his admonition to his fellow newspaper editors, but it's equally relevant for copywriters:
"'Tis the season": Not in copy, not in headlines, not at all. Never, never, never, never, never. You cannot make this fresh. Do not attempt it.
He adds: "'Twasing is no more defensible than 'tising."
This year's hall of shame:

Posts Tagged katamariMassteroid Review+ Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPadMassteroid is a bit simple and abrupt to play, but it's great for killing little pockets of time. Read The Full Review » Way back, at the start of the year, we took a look at a competition that new title, Clay Jam, was running. A game made out of claymation, its developer was giving fans a chance to create their own monster for the game. Since then, we haven't heard too much about the game. That is until now. It's just been announced that developers, Fat Pebble, have partnered up with Zynga to feature as a launch title for Zynga Partners for Mobile, the company's partner program for game developers. Clay Jam is hopefully a step nearer to its release, with players taking the role of Fat Pebble, a pebble superhero, as they guide him (it?) down five hills to squash as many monsters as possible. It all sounds pretty cute and very Katamari-ish, with an unique graphical style. The ideal reason to be interested. For now, check out the preview below. Hopefully it won't be long till we see it released. Here's an opportunity that doesn't come up as often as many games fans would like: the chance to create a monster and have it featured in an upcoming game. That's precisely what the guys at Fat Pebble are offering one lucky designer. The upcoming title is Clay Jam, a game all about guiding a rolling pebble down a hill while squashing monsters. As things are squashed, so the pebble grows, much like in the Katamari series of games. Set for release in February, it's looking set to be a pretty quirky title thanks to everything being made out of clay. There's the added bonus that Fat Pebble is run by three industry veterans from the likes of Lionhead, Black Rock Studios, Blitz Games and Zoe Mode. Check out the Show Us Your Monster Competition video below then send any ideas and creations to firstname.lastname@example.com or via Fat Pebble's Facebook page. When it comes to bizarre gaming experiences from the last decade, it would be hard to not mention the joyfully growing ball of garbage that is the Katamari series. Originally released as Katamari Damacy on the PlayStation 2 back in 2004, the brand has now become synonymous with ridiculous music, insane visuals and an insane color scheme that would make Stevie Wonder squint. The game was a surprise runaway hit that caught North American audiences completely off-guard. One thing was without a doubt: it was Japanese to the core. After several successful spin-offs over the few years, the absurd world of Katamari finally made its way to iOS, in the form of i Love Katamari. Not only was the title fairly successful on the platform, but it also managed to snag four and a half stars in its official 148Apps Review. Not too shabby for a puzzle game that revolves around the concept of, well, revolving! Virtually every aspect of the game was looked upon positively then, so just imagine what a Katamari game would be like with the advances in technology over the past two and a half years. Don't fret though, because a new iOS installment in the franchise is coming sooner rather than later. In fact, the release date of the new Katamari Amore is just around the corner. Starting today, hardcore rollers should be able to get their mitts on twenty four new missions of brain racking craziness, all for the low price of $3.99, which is much cheaper than the original's $6.99 sticker price. There will be four different single player modes to enjoy, so it is safe to say that it should keep players busy for quite a while. Plus, I hear a certain pellet and ghost munching icon makes a secret cameo in the game, so keep an eye out! FREE! + Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad Released: 2011-09-30 :: Category: Games GomiiPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPadGomi, a game in which you rid the world of pollution by rolling around and eating it, is a highly creative game with a bevy of content. Such a great value is rarely seen on the App Store. Read The Full Review » i Love KatamariiPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPadi Love Katamari is a well done port of a game series that premiered on home consoles and was very successful there. The iPhone version doesn't seem to make very many compromises and looks and controls superbly. It offers numerous levels of challenging and rewarding game play. Read The Full Review » |

On December 23, 1989, the U.S. U.S. EPA issued the federal portion of the final RCRA storage permit(# IN5170023498)for NSWC to the U.S. Navy. The federal portion established the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments Corrective Action Requirements and Compliance Schedules. The compliance schedules obligated the U.S. Navy to perform RCRA Facility Investigations (RFIs) at 30 Solid Waste Management Units (SWMUs), and, if contamination were found, to conduct Corrective Measures Studies (CMS) and implement Corrective Measures if needed. Since the permit was issued, another SWMU (31/001) was identified and remediated. The status of corrective actions at all other SWMUs is "on-going". Clean closure is not expected at any of the sites. US U.S. EPA will not be dealing with SWMUs in production or testing areas, as these areas are exempt.
The 31 SWMUs at NSWC are described briefly as follows:
US U.S. EPA issued Subpart S regulations in February 1993. This rule created the Corrective Action Management Unit (CAMU) to facilitate the cleanup process. The CAMU concept is being used at NSWC to conduct composting without triggering the land ban regulations. NSWC submitted a CAMU permit application to US U.S. EPA focusing on explosives composting at ABG, RKI, and MFA&B. Conceptual design for Bioremediation Facility submitted 1995, deficiencies being addressed in 1996.
A Phase III RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI), Release Characterization for Groundwater, of the Ammunition Burning Ground (SWMU 03/10), was finalized in May 1994. The Phase III RFI evaluated the hydrogeology and degree and extent of contamination to the groundwater from past activities at the ABG.
Accelerated cleanup at ten SWMUs will be initiated through a series of voluntary actions (Interim Measures), proposed in September 1993. A Notice of Deficiency for the proposal was sent by US U.S. EPA 2 December 1994. The proposal lacked detailed plans. There is some concern that a pump and treat system at the ABG will affect the ecology of Little Sulfur Creek, a receptor point near ABG.
The first Restoration Advisory Board meeting was held 22 February 1995; public interest appeared to be minimal. The RAB will eventually replace the Technical Review Committee.
Interim Actions began July 1995 in the Lithium Battery Burial Area, 14/00. IDEM and U.S. U.S. EPA agreed to use the health based cleanup levels (U.S. EPA Region III) for lithium. Waste was sent to a landfill in Kentucky to save time (IDEM Special Waste approval takes 4-6 weeks).
IDEM staff received and began review of the Operational Plan for SWMUs #03/10, #10/15, #13/14 and Soils Bioremediation Facility. On June 12, participated in a site visit.

But quite honestly, obnoxious behavior is something that I am not well versed on. Perhaps it is because I discuss everything honestly, I don't recognize when I become a bit overbearing. Perhaps others have this issue as well, and are accused of things they are not guilty of. This thread almost belongs in LTUP. |

Some may think I attacked Al but if you read my posts, you'd know that all I ever wanted him to do was to leave me alone... and he wouldn't... You should have seen some of his email messages to me. They were incredibly insulting and hateful. So, if you think I judged him harshly, you're correct, but not without reason. I am just incredibly glad he never got my phone number.
I truly hope this fellow doesn't become another of these... though some think he's there already. |

This is all just a manifestation of the seedy side of online forums ... the ability to advance one's self as an expert without any real-world expertise and the unfortunate desire of human beings to show they are better than others around them.
Just look at Facebook postings about politics, race relations, you name the topic and you can find the haters. The anonymity afforded by using online handles makes some think they can never be tracked down ... well, the moderators are fairly experienced with weeding out those members. And, as Kenny said, it's true about how many read but never post ... all you have to do is look at the number of posts, number of posters, and the number of reads and you have some idea how many are in the "Silent Majority" |

Metal Slug
Metal Slug - SNK PLAYMORE
Price: $3.99 [App Store] Played On: iPhone 4 Discussion Thread Metal slug, to most this brings back fond memories of pumping quarter after quarter into their local arcade, whilst chugging as much soda as possible. In short, great, moderately diabetic times. For myself those days have come to pass many years ago, seeing as how I hadn't played anything from the series in at least half a decade. I must say that while many of our favorite gaming memories from youth are remembered through rose colored glasses, by and large metal slug holds up fairly well. One thing that really stood out to me were the visuals. Not because there is no pixelation, or they look almost photo-realistic. No, they are great because of the opposite. Anyone who has spent time with marco and the crew knows what I am talking about. The animations are smooth albeit pixelated, and show how good simple art can be when done right. Add this to the over the top bad guys and ultra violent deaths (flame shot anyone?), and you have visuals that are literally oozing character. The sound does a superb job of complementing the visuals and fast paced gameplay. You don't realize how good a job it does of pulling everything together unless you are paying attention to the songs as they sinc up with a change in pace and action. The weapons sound powerful and the deaths sounds are just as ridiculous as their animation counterparts. With all that praise being heaped upon the game, Its time to switch gears and take a look at one aspect of the game that doesn't hold up so well, the gameplay. Without spewing out a multitude of words inspecting every nuance that could have been better tweaked, I will sum it up fairly quickly. Metal slug was built with an intention to be played in a arcade, and for the player to see how far they could get on their quarter. With that being the crux of the game, the level design is fairly linear. It's not bad, just move forward and slaughter everything in your path. To bring this review to a close, I must say that I had a blast with metal slug. If you are someone like me who loved it back in the arcades, do yourself a favor and get this game now. On the other hand if you are someone who doesn't like gratuitous violence in your games or is put off by games that cost four dollars and don't have sixty plus hours of gameplay, you can probably pass on this one. In my opinion though, this is a keeper and a solid port of an all time classic. |

Generativity Versus Stagnation: An Elaboration of Erikson's Adult Stage of Human Development

Get AccessAbstract
Erik Erikson's theory of human development posits 8 stages of life. This paper gives special attention to the adult stage of generativity vs. stagnation. A review of recent research provides new concepts that can be added to Erikson's chart of development in the form of 7 psychosocial conflicts that give breadth to the central crisis of generativity vs. stagnation. They are inclusivity vs. exclusivity, pride vs. embarrassment, responsibility vs. ambivalence, career productivity vs. inadequacy, parenthood vs. self-absorption, being needed vs. alienation, and honesty vs. denial. Each conflict is connected to one of Erikson's other stages of development. Given this framework, case studies of leaders could provide further knowledge about generativity as the intersection of society and the human life cycle.

Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival: Director Andrew Putschoegl Talks BFFs
Films like BFFs disprove the myth that a majority of film festival offerings are nothing more than pretentious, self-indulgent arts projects. BFFs is a funny, cute film with well-developed characters who endear themselves to the audience.Tara Karsian who plays Katherine in the film, and Andrea Grano, who plays Samantha, co-wrote and produced the film.
"The film is firmly in the 'dramedy' realm," says the film's director Andrew Putschoegl. "There are a lot of laugh-out-loud situations, as well as a grounded reality to the story and characters."
BFFs was written and produced by Tara Karsian, who plays Katherine in the film, and Andrea Grano, who plays Samantha. Putschoegl worked with Karsian on the short film Hello Caller, which did well on the festival circuit.
See also: YouTube Sensations Jessica and Hunter
"We had a great time working together on that film, so when it came time for Tara and Andrea to find a director for BFFs, I was in the mix," Putschoegl says. "I loved the script from the first time I read it, and it was clear early on in the process that Tara, Andrea, and I had a shared vision for the film. I also knew it would be a lot of fun, and it certainly was. They wrote the script, produced the movie, and play the two leads - I don't know how they did it."
He also worked on the web series Jessica and Hunter, which is a viral barrel of laughs.
Putschoegl chatted with us about the film, his last visit to Miami, and the shenanigans he and his two leading ladies are sure to get into on South Beach.
Cultist: Tell us what the film is about:
Andrew Putschoegl: BFFs is about best friends Katherine and Samantha, who, after a rather awkward birthday dinner, decide to pretend to be in a relationship in order to attend a couples retreat using a gift certificate from Kat's mother. They expect to lay out by the pool and get massages all weekend, but instead, they get drawn into the group therapy sessions and dig themselves deeper into the lie, with disastrous results.
What was your favorite moment during filming?
There's a scene in the film that takes place on a ropes course, 30 feet off the ground. When Tara and Andrea called me to tell me I got the job, I was actually on a ropes course - the same one we ended up using in the film. So being able to come full-circle and shoot the scene in that location was pretty special.
How do you feel about BFFS being part of MGLFF's line up this year?
We're thrilled to be a part of MGLFF. The festival has been incredibly hospitable toward us and we're honored to be included among so many outstanding films.

Bossier Undersheriff Doyle Dempsey says the stepmother of a 5 year old girl who was pronounced dead at W.K. Pierremont on Thursday, January 13, 2011, has been charged with first degree murder.
Catherine Lynn Lowe, 34, was already being held in the Bossier Maximum Security Facility on a charge of negligent homicide in connection with the death of Anna Celeste Lowe, her stepdaughter. Bossier Sheriff's investigators say Catherine's two biological children were present Wednesday, January 12, 2011, some time between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., when Catherine followed Anna Celeste into a bathroom at their Sunset Villa mobile home in south Bossier. Shortly after that, they say they heard a very loud thump and when they went to the bathroom, Anna Celeste was lying on the floor in obvious pain and was vomiting.
Eventually, Catherine Lynn Lowe and her husband, Wesley Dwayne Lowe, 32, were taken into custody after the medical staff at W.K. Pierremont contacted the Bossier Sheriff's Department regarding Anna Celeste, who was brought to the emergency room by Catherine Lynn and Wesley Dwayne. The emergency room staff told Bossier Sheriff's investigators that the child arrived at the hospital at approximately 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, January 13, 2011, and tests that were conducted indicate the time of death to be approximately two hours prior to the child's arrival.
The emergency room staff also told Bossier Sheriff's detectives that Wesley Dwayne and Catherine Lynn gave contradictory statements, alleging that the child had been in and out of consciousness during the twenty minute drive to the hospital. The emergency room staff noticed bruising and trauma over the entirety of the child's body.
The Bossier Parish Deputy Coroner also noted that "rigor mortis" had begun taking effect and was present in the child's facial area. An autopsy was immediately scheduled by Bossier Parish Coroner, Dr. John Chandler, and performed. The cause of death was determined to be the result of internal injuries and bleeding into the body cavity. Bossier Sheriff's investigators, in conjunction with Chandler, say Anna Celeste's stomach was detached from her intestines and her liver was lacerated in two places.
After the autopsy, Bossier Sheriff's investigators immediately contacted the child's biological father, Wesley Dwayne, and her stepmother, Catherine Lynn, and conducted formal interviews with them at the Bossier Sheriff's Department detective office. The father and mother gave contradictory statements regarding the child's injuries and discounted her continuous vomiting and extreme abdominal pain as something caused by a common stomach virus.
The child was subsequently held out of school on Thursday, January 13, 2011, and brought to Catherine Lynn's place of employment, near Benton, at approximately 7:30 a.m. Co-workers later told Bossier Sheriff's investigators that the child was a pale blue color and unable to walk or stand on her own. Co-workers say they told Catherine Lynn to seek medical attention for the child immediately and feared for her health and safety. Catherine Lynn told investigators she then left her place of employment and began making the long drive back to her residence in Elm Grove.
During the long trip home, Catherine Lynn stopped at a grocery store in Bossier City, leaving the dying child alone in the vehicle as she went inside to purchase "Gatorade." Catherine Lynn then returned to her vehicle and continued the long drive back to her residence in Elm Grove. Catherine Lynn passed several hospitals on the way and made absolutely no attempt to obtain necessary and critical medical attention for the dying child. Catherine Lynn subsequently returned to her residence, and from there, she and Wesley Dwayne transported the child to W.K. Pierremont by private vehicle.
Based on statements made by Wesley Dwayne, Catherine Lynn, Catherine Lynn's co-workers and medical professionals, Bossier Sheriff's investigators concluded that Wesley Dwayne and Catherine Lynn intentionally neglected to provide the child with the timely and critical medical attention she desperately needed for fear of law enforcement and Child Protective Services intervention. As a result, Wesley Dwayne and Catherine Lynn are currently charged with negligent homicide.
In addition, based on the statements of Catherine Lynn's children and others, Bossier Sheriff's investigators have concluded Catherine Lynn had specific intent to kill or inflict great bodily harm to Anna Celeste, and as a result, she has been charged with first degree murder.

5 ExcellentFozzySPF | 01/12/2010 | See all FozzySPF's reviews (58)Top 100 Games Reviewer I have the first game and enjoyed that very much.Just got this on the 2 for 25pound deal and for that money its well worth adding to the collection.Very sweet crisp graphics, beautiful scenary and tons of vehicles, aircraft, weapons to check out.Love the tweaking they've done on the controls, much easier to use and target with, loving the grapple hook u can use in so many ways, never fails to tickle me when hooking a moped rider to a passing car in opposite direction and watching the chaos ensue lololol.If you want a game with lots of free roam and fire power then grab this while its in the classics, you shouldn't be disappointed.. im not.
3 Pretty Good For The PriceMrLordLewy | 17/10/2010 | See all MrLordLewy's reviews (3)I bought this game due to how much i enjoyed the first game, and everything i loved from the first game has been reintroduced and improved.The map is huge and full of stuff to find, to the point where after completing the story and having spent a lot of time exploring the many settlements, military bases, airports and many other locations i was only a measly 30% of the way through!The voice acting in this game is a little annoying, with American characters having extremely heavy American accents, and the Asian characters having heavy accents as well.The story although it will keep you interested in exploring and destroying government property will leave you feeling a bit empty when you eventually finish it, don't get me wrong there were times when i would stack chaos just so i could play a few agency missions back to back.The working for factions is back from the first game and is a handy way to unlock upgrades for your vehicles and weapons. The only downside is that considering the vastness of the map you'd think they would have varied the missions up a bit rather than, ' Get to point A, Grab B and take B to Point C' which nearly all missions consist of.Overall I'm glad i waited for the price to drop rather than paying the full 40 pound for it, for 15 pound though I'd recommend it to anyone wanting a decent sandbox game.
5 Great game!!Markhh | 04/06/2010 | See all Markhh's reviews (10)I bought this game on release day and was hooked. clocked up 30 hours gameplay in the first weekend and only 30% complete, missions are really good and the map and vehicles are amazing nothing better than stealing a military jet and doing a bomb run :o) great game. My game of the year!!
4 good gamebec7uk | 01/09/2010 | See all bec7uk's reviews (19)just cause 2 is a really good game. missions are really fun 9/10, the island is just amazing 10/10, graphics are good but could be better 8/10.
4 Flawed but still BrilliantRich27985 | 21/06/2010 | See all Rich27985's reviews (1)If your after action man: the game, this is it, hugely enjoyable explosive action, with 2 minor flaws, 1, story is way too short for a game of this scale, however there are enough side missions, towns to be uncovered, military bases to destroy to keep you entertained 60 hours after you've finished the story (trust me I'm at 87 game hours) flaw 2, Horrible, I mean absolutely terrible voice acting, but luckily dialect is kept to a minimum (and skip-able) so doesn't detract from the game in whole, definately worth it (at this price under 30 notes at the time of writing this review)

Motorola's Atrix HD and Atrix HD LTE, AT&T and Bell bound
By Loh Ving Sung GooglePlus
11 July 2012 - The mid-end Motorola Atrix is getting a successor, specifically for the AT&T network and the Canadian market. They are similar phones that will of course support LTE, with a 4.5-inch HD Colour Boost 720p display. Inside, they are powered by Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), along with a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor.
Their designs also falls in line with Motorola's recent obsession with Kevlar - both phones' backs are coated with it. The Atrix has a slim 8.4mm chassis which is splash resistant too.
The phones come equipped with an 8-megapixel autofocus camera with 1080p HD capture and playback, along with 720p HD front-facing webcam. There are more traditional connectivity options like HSPA+, WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n support and stereo Bluetooth.
Both Atrixs also share a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, 1GB RAM, micro-HDMI and microSD expansion slot.
AT&T will be offering the Atrix HD for $99.99 on contract on July 15, while the Atrix HD LTE will be available exclusively via Canada's Bell.

Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber delivered a humbling performance to their rivals in Friday evenings second practice session at the Marina Bay track in Singapore. In a session which was faster initially than the previous one as the newly-resurfaced part of the track became grippier, but seemed to reach a peak after about an hour, the German lapped his RB6 in 1m 46.660s, fully 0.627s quicker than Webbers 1m 47.287s.
There was then a big gap to Jenson Buttons third fastest McLaren, which the 2009 world champion took round in 1m 47.690s. Ferraris Fernando Alonso was on target to improve on that, but ran down the Turn 18 escape road after getting loose exiting Turn 17, and may have stalled after reversing back on track.
The Spaniard did not get going again, and thus placed fourth with 1m 47.718s. McLarens Lewis Hamilton was fifth on 1m 47.818s, completing the runners below 1m 48s. Rubens Barrichello took sixth for Williams with 1m 48.302s, and as usual the times were then very close all the way down to Force Indias Adrian Sutil in 16th place.
Felipe Massa was seventh in his Ferrari on 1m 48.341s, followed by Mercedes GPs Nico Rosberg on 1m 48.679s, Renaults Robert Kubica on 1m 48.855s, Mercedes GPs Michael Schumacher on 1m 48.889s, Williams Nico Hulkenberg - who will drop five grid places due to a gearbox-change penalty - on 1m 49.153s, Kamui Kobayashi and Nick Heidfeld in the BMW Saubers on 1m 49.438s and 1m 49.558s, Renaults Vitaly Petrov on 1m 49.608s and then Force India team mates Vitantonio Liuzzi and Sutil on 1m 49.896s and 1m 49.984s.
Besides Alonso, Sutil provided the only real drama of the session when, having set his time, he got the chicane wrong quite early on, vaulting over the first kerb and landing so heavily astride the second that he broke his Force Indias left front suspension and was through for the rest of the session.
Jaime Alguersuari and Sebastien Buemi were 17th and 18th in the Toro Rossos, on 1m 50.191s and 1m 50.896s, while Heikki Kovalainen gave Lotus a clear advantage among the new teams with 1m 51.878s. Timo Glock led Virgin team mate Lucas di Grassi (back in the car after Jerome dAmbrosios morning run), with 1m 52.150s to 1m 53.431s.
Jarno Trulli was 22nd in the Lotus he took over from Fairuz Fauzy, lapping it in 1m 53.526s, then Bruno Senna led HRT team mate Christian Klien with 1m 54.725s to 1m 55.542s.

Discography: (DE) Carpe Diem Records New Release: "mundus et musica" (Qualia Ensemble)
"On their first CD, QUALIA presents a collection of polyphonic music from late medieval sources, especially from manuscripts around the year 1500. In a very short period of time around the turn of the 15th century, the European music culture changed from the ancient phytagoreic to meantone temperament and created some astounding, highly complex and intellectually as well as musically challenging works …
taking inspiration from both old and modern musical influences. QUALIA lets the listener immerse into an almost alien musical world, into the deep roots and sources of being of European music history, which in today's perception is almost lost completely. "

IF I'm honest, I didn't expect the Bishop of Durham to be quite so diligent about his role as guest editor of The Northern Echo.
As it happened, the Right Reverend Justin Welby was hard at it until past 9pm, having started before 10am.
He had strong views about the questions he wanted the journalists to ask: What were the North-East implications of figures showing that the UK economy shrank more than expected at the end of last year? How did the North-East fare in a study showing that the national death rate from heart attacks had halved in the past decade? How had the North-East been affected by cuts in the number of police officers across Britain?
In between running two news conferences, he managed to speak at a Holocaust Memorial Ceremony and help launch The Northern Echo's Foundation For Jobs campaign, aimed at helping young people into work.
He wrote a feature about the challenges facing the region, as well as the day's editorial comment. He then stayed until he was happy with his front page before thanking the staff for their efforts and patience.
I was asked on Twitter if the Bishop really had called the shots as guest editor. I was able to reply in all honesty that his decisions genuinely had shaped Friday's paper.
Hard-nosed journalists don't suffer fools gladly but post-Bishop comments in the newsroom were complimentary: down to earth, personable, sharp, and good fun.
"Great paper today," remarked the managing director on Friday morning.
If you ask me, it was all a bit too positive.
I won't be asking the Bishop of Durham back in a hurry. I may, however, take up his offer to try my hand at preaching.
THE Headline Challenge is a daily duty of the incumbent of the editor's chair.
It is played on BBC Tees every weekday morning. I, as editor, choose a story with a funny headline and BBC Tees listeners have to try to come up with something better.
So there we were, with the Bishop at the helm, trying to come up with a decent headline for the following morning's challenge.
The story involved Austrian scientists discovering that love-struck male mice "serenade"
females with high-pitched songs.
It called for a rodent-related love song and the editorial dialogue went like this: Chief sub-editor: "You can't scurry love."
Me: "Cheese release me."
Chief sub-editor: "That's not a love song, it's a break-up song."
Me: "Not necessarily, the mouse could be getting rid of one partner in order to woo another."
The Bishop (straight-faced): "Isn't that promoting mouse promiscuity?"
It may be the most bizarre exchange in the history of The Northern Echo's newsroom.
FINALLY, a major embarrassment was avoided without the need to bring it to the attention of our esteemed guest editor.
Newspaper stories are printed in columns and the computer automatically hyphenates words to split them over two lines.
The first four lines of the latest report on the Harry Redknapp tax evasion trial were originally set like this:
Harry Redknapp said he
was sick and tired of bung-
slurs and claimed he was vic-
timised because of his Cock-
ney accent, a court heard.
A proof-reader saved the day by swiftly joining up "Cockney accent" – it was blessed relief.

January 2010 President Obama Launches the National Export Initiative
President Obama speaking: The United States of America is launching a single comprehensive strategy to promote American exports. It is called the National Export Initiative and it's an ambitious effort to marshall the full resources of the United States government behind American businesses that sell their goods and services abroad.
February 2010 Strategic Partnership with key private sector vendors is announced
September 2010 White House Releases Report to the President on the National Export Initiative
February 2011 Exports rebounded strongly in 2010, increasing 16.6 percent from 2009 levels
President obama signs the Colombia, Panama and Korea Trade Agreements
President Obama speaking: Here in the United States this trade agreement will support at least seventy thousand American jobs. It will increase exports. It will boost our economy by more than our last nine trade agreements combined.
And as I said the good thing is we've got a balanced situation
It is not just a matter of folks sending a bunch of stuff in here. Koreans are also buying American products. That's what makes it a win-win.
February 2012
Exports continued to show strong growth, climbing 14.5% in 2011. Along with the 16.7% increase in 2010, this means that exports have increased 33.5% over the last two years,

Back in April 2012, I was at the center of a very bizarre circumstance. What resulted was my conclusion that my mailman is a thief (or opens people's mail at least – both Federal offenses for a mail carrier). However, I'll leave it to you to decide for yourself. Here's my story:
After interviewing for a potential internship position, I decided to send a good old fashioned thank-you note to the person that interviewed me. On my way to my part-time job (one late Friday afternoon), I dropped off my sealed, stamped envelope in a blue USPS mailbox just a block from where I work. I thought nothing of the simple task at the time.
However, that weekend while at my part-time job (I work at a high-traffic facility), I happened to glance down at a filing box that sits on a table near the front desk and saw my thank-you note's envelope sitting quaintly inside of it (thank you note itself was nowhere to be found). It seemed as though someone deposited it there on their way out or in the front doors.
The envelope was crinkled, opened, and had writing on it. But how did my envelope end up there? I dropped the note off in the blue USPS box late Friday afternoon – after the mail would have been checked the last time that day, and that weekend my note is found in the most bizarre (but publicly accessible) place, my work. *AND I FIND IT MYSELF OF ALL PEOPLE!*
While I'm not completely sure what the writing says or means, it looks like someone scribbled street addresses or names on the envelope. It seems like a simple note-to-self, but not a note by anyone – by a mailman. "From 1053 Tr%$vivi Mud to 1053 G%L#L$% Spittler." Sounds like a route, or a notice of something particular in that area, or so on.
The handwriting is particularly messy, and it sees to fit what the mailman's handwriting might look like. I had the same mail carrier at my apartment and at my work. Also, the blue USPS mailbox is located right outside my apartment building. I assume the same mail carrier would pick up mail at the blue USPS mailbox. One extra note: where I work, the mail carriers have always used the place as a rest-stop.
The following week, when the regular mailman was delivering mail to my apartment complex, I walked up to him and showed him a picture off of my iPhone of the envelope with writing on it.
"Is this your handwriting?" I asked confidently but casually.
"No, no it's not," he replied.
I don't remember the rest of the conversation word for word, but I do remember him being curious of the photo, and I briefly told him how I sent a piece of mail and it somehow turned up back in my hands with strange writing on it.
And with that, I decided to contact the U.S. Postal Service. I turned in the envelope to the local post office, and they said someone would look into it. I got a call a week or two later from a larger USPS facility telling me that they would look into the situation and I'd hear back if they made any progress. As of 2013, I have yet to hear anything, and I assume the envelope has since been lost or thrown away.
I didn't have any handwriting samples from the local mailman other than the single envelope, and I was not about to have him write some words down for me so that I could play detective. I'm also not the confrontational type. But a few months ago, after having moved into a new residence even closer to where I work (and where I still have the same mail carrier most days), I got what I was asking for. The mailman noticed that we (my roommate and I) had yet to put our names on the slips that go inside our mailbox. He wrote "Names?" on them and then placed them back inside the mailboxes.
Although I am not a professional handwriting analyst, I believe that the handwriting on the slips and the envelope are from the same person. So what do I do? Do I take any further action, or sit back and hope he isn't doing this to dozens of other residents? What other possibilities are there of how my piece of mail ended up opened, with writing on it, and disposed of at a place where if anyone else found it they would simply toss it away?

Feb 14, 2014
David Warner and Alex Doolan's unbeaten 146-run stand for the second wicket helped Australia extend their overall lead to 338 runs against South Africa at Centurion on Friday.
Australia recovered very well from the early loss in form of Chris Rogers, as Warner and Doolan batted confidently to take their side ahead.
While Warner took the attack to the opposition with a boundary in regular intervals, debutant Doolan did not allow the South Africans to get over him and break their partnership. The right-handed batsman had a positive approach in the middle, seeing off the deliveries that troubled him and punished the loose ones.
On the other hand, Warner was the more active partner as he scored runs at a brisk rate, but also had his fair share of luck. In the 11th over of Vernon Philander, Warner hit one high in the air towards the fine-leg. Dean Elgar, on the field in place of Dale Steyn, came in at the right time but failed to grab the ball.
In the next over, Ryan McLaren saw a thick edge that came off Warner's bat was spilled by Alviro Petersen.
Warner was third time lucky as in the 24th over, Graeme Smith failed to take hold of one much above his head, off McClaren.
Earlier in the first session, Australia lost Chris Rogers early in their second innings, as they extended their overall lead to 209 runs in the first Test against South Africa at Centurion. The hosts were bowled out for 206 in the first innings as Mitchell Johnson claimed seven wickets to help Australia take 191-run lead in the first essay.
AB de Villiers was unfortunate to have missed out on a century, as he fell for 91 off 148 balls to Johnson. His effort was the only bright spot for the South Africans in their reply to Australia's 397.
Johnson claimed three out of four wickets that fell on the third day morning, as Nathan Lyon chipped in with the dismissal of Vernon Philander, who added 49 runs with de Villiers to help his side avoid follow-on.
South Africans resumed their innings at 140 for six, but soon lost Robin Peterson as he failed to keep a delivery off Johnson aimed at the rib cage area, and Michael Clarke did the rest. Peterson's dismissal brought Philander at the crease; he added 49 runs for the eighth wicket. His stay at the crease was ended by Lyon, who trapped him in front of the wickets.
De Villiers was unfortunate to have missed out on a century, as he waged a lone battle for the hosts. He batted with ease against the menacing pace of Johnson and against Peter Siddle and Ryan Harris. De Villiers slammed 10 boundaries and two sixes during his stay at the crease.

Ryan Murphy, Dougie Hamilton shine
August, 17, 2012
By Grant Sonier | ESPN Insider
Bruce Bennett/Getty ImagesBruins prospect Dougie Hamilton stood out during the Canada-Russia Challenge series.
It took overtime to decide the 2012 version of the Summit Series between Canada and Russia's top prospects, but more important to the scouts in attendance than the outcome (a win for Team Canada) were the performances of some recent top draft picks. Canada's entire roster already has been drafted, with the exception of two young stars who will no doubt hear their names called next June. Nine of the Russians already have been claimed by NHL teams, headed by 2012 No. 1 overall pick Nail Yakupov (Edmonton Oilers). When this much talent is on the ice, expectations can be raised, but there is still the summer hockey factor to consider. Talented as these players are, it's unlikely they're playing at their peak at this time of year. So the reports you'll get aren't going to be too comprehensive. Still, there was plenty to examine when I -- and a number of NHL scouts and GMs -- took in the second leg of the series in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Here are my quick impressions on some of the standouts.

Always and without exception.
This is a discussion on If you pocket carry, do you use a pocket holster???? within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Always and without exception. Best, Jerry...
Always or almost always.
Most of the time
Then absolutely I agree that you should use a pocket holster.
I do not have a problem with anybody using one or not using one if they are going to be safe about it.
Normally I carry OWB in the very best of holsters.
At the same time I have (or see) no problem at all (for myself) slipping a S&W J-Frame into an empty coat pocket to strut the mutt around the block.
That is the reason why S&W originally made a small frame revolver. So that it could easily just be slipped into a pocket.
I certainly love it when every person who carries any firearm takes whatever precautions he/she feels are necessary to make whatever firearm safe for that person.
I just don't think that we should rewrite document-able firearm history.
Always. Wouldn't even think of going without.
Always. Safer that way.
"If I pocket carried every day, I'd shortly get used to reserving that pocket for the pistol only..."
This is what I do when I carry a handgun in a pocket. I frequently pocket carry with no holster.
I've recently purchased a NAA 22mag that I've carried a couple times in the front pocket without holster. Definitely need one to keep the orientation correct, and from getting it scratched up; can't currently find one small enough, so may have to end up ordering one. Only problem after that would be figuring which pocket to carry in.
I dont pocket carry but i voted yes because if i did i think i would have a holster for it. I tend to carry alot of crap in my pockets. Keys, knife in right front and cell phone and flashlight in left front.
I keep my P-3AT in a Fist #5 pocket holster.

In pocket, the 442 is always in a Kramer.
Training means learning the rules. Experience means learning the exceptions.
+1 on the FIST pocket holster.
I carry my snubbie in one. The main objectives of the using the holster are to keep lint, coins, etc away from the gun and just as importantly to act as a reminder to keep the finger off the trigger as the gun is being removed from the pocket.
It should always be in a pocket holster. Makes no sense to take a chance of a AD. The DA trigger is no guarantee the trigger cant be pulled. Better to be safe than sorry.
"He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." Luke 22:36

For pocket carry I always use one of Mika's pocket holsters. It's a great value, keeps my J frame from fouling up with pocket litter.

The Robinson "Medal of Freedom" Fiasco: When will the Democrats Speak Out?
For the past few days, the announcement that Barack Obama would award a Presidential Medal of Freedom to former President of the Irish Republic, Mary Robinson, has created a storm of controversy that is not dying down. The main question that must be asked is whether the expose of Robinson as a long-time opponent of Israel and as the enthusiastic convener of Durban II, despite its open anti-Semitism and the withdrawal from the conference of the United States, will lead many Democrats, as well as Jewish supporters of Obama, to reconsider their once enthusiastic support.
Yesterday, AIPAC, usually non-partisan and not prone to comment on appointments—it stayed mum on the Charles Freeman affair months ago—issued a statement indicating that it was "deeply disappointed by the Obama administration's choice to award a President Medal of Freedom to Mary Robinson," and called upon the administration "to firmly, fully and publicly repudiate her views on Israel and her long public record of hostility and one-sided bias against the Jewish state."
AIPAC is correct in its description of Robinson. UN Watch documented this extensively. They wrote:
Should Mary Robinson be awarded the 2009 Presidential Medal of Freedom for being an "agent of change"?In March 2004, we noted that, "Whatever her accomplishments, Mary Robinson's legacy will be forever entwined with Durban's racism-turned-racist conference that disgraced the UN."In the words of the late Tom Lantos, U.S. delegate to the conference and founder of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus: "To many of us present at the events at Durban, it is clear that much of the responsibility for the debacle rests on the shoulders of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson, who, in her role as secretary-general of the conference, failed to provide the leadership needed to keep the conference on track."Lantos thoroughly documented her counter-productive acts of omission and commission in the vital lead-up process.
To even consider Robinson "an agent of change," supposedly what Obama is giving the recipients this year's award for, is obscene. Again, it remains for Marty Peretz, whom we all know was once an enthusiastic supporter of Obama during the campaign, to put this nomination in stark perspective. Despite her accomplishments as Ireland's chief, he writes, "It has been downhill ever since, a good deal of it in the gutter of anti-Semitism." Peretz continues:
She was the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights when the commission began to specialize in the practice of supporting governmental repression and calling it freedom–as, frankly, Obama has done with the burqa, also in Cairo. But Robinson's biggest role on the world stage was as chair of the 2001 World Conference Against Racism in Durban. She planned it, she mostly ran it and she is responsible for that Witch's Sabbath of hate against both Israel and America, actually the west and western values in general and in particular. Since then, she has been doing the time-consuming NGO thing, talking mostly to one another and soliciting grants from American foundations.

good thing 9/11 happened a couple days after israel and israeli america walked out of the durban human rights conferenence, isnt it?

the world condemned israel at the durban human rights conference in september of 2001.
israel and its american puppet walked out of the conference, and a week later, the WTC was attacked.
as wikipedia puts it…
"many of the potential political aftereffects of the Conference were annulled by the September 11, 2001 attacks.
"The attacks took place just three days after the Conference ended, entirely eclipsing the Conference in the news, and significantly affecting international relations and politics."
pretty convenient, which probably explains why netanyahu thought 9/11 was so good for israel…
…but doesnt explain why sharon, a year earlier —at about the time PNAC published its need for "a new pearl harbor"— visited the al aqsa mosque accompanied by 1000 cops/soldiers, a move that was most likely a deliberate attempt to stir up palestinian resentment… sharon's visit was most likely a preliminary step in the overall PNAC plan… another "cockup" that did exactly what it was intended to do.
the resulting intifada was documented by the zionist media in the normal fashion, which is to say, every time an israeli was killed, it was a national tragedy for israeli america.
palestinian casualties were ignored.
and this stuff was beamed 24/7 into american homes, showing that palestinians and arabs in general were capable of any atrocity… a perfect setup for the 9/11 operation.
this situation dragged on for a year, palestinians (and muslims) vilified constantly on israeli american media, which set the stage for the 9/11 operation, arabs pre-designated as fall guys.
what kind of event will rescue israel's status as "the light unto nations" this time?
anyhow, once 9/11 was accomplished, according to USAtoday…
"In the minutes after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, while Attorney General John Ashcroft was rushing back from Milwaukee, Michael Chertoff was calling the shots.
"Chertoff played key role on 9/11" USA today
so chertoff protects the dancing israelis until he and the israeli consul general, alon pinkas, can be sure the official 9/11 conspiracy theory would hold —and until they can browbeat the fbi into releasing the dancing mossad agents, a process that took over two months.
meanwhile, the anthrax attacks are happening, with accompanying hysterical coverage in the israeli american press —coverage which reinforced the official conspiracy theory, intimidated congress, and made sure any maverick media or law enforcement people got the message, that message being: you will be risking your neck if you dont fall into line with the official theory.
…then the dancing israelis are shipped back to israel, where one of them confesses that he and his mossad friends were filming "to document the event", implying that he and his mossad friends had prior knowledge of 9/11, and were sent, before the event, to film the unfolding of a operation that their mossad bosses very likely planned and/or participated in.
no wonder they were so happy as they witnessed the success of 9/11 operation.

Small point…
Please stop referring to Robinson as the "former President of the Irish Republic"…it almost infers that we Irish voted her into office based on her political outlook and/or opinions.
The position of "President of Ireland" is a completely ineffectual position with absolutely no executive power whatsoever. Voters at the time had a choice of either Robinson (to become the first female president) or two old geezers to go around shaking hands with foreign dignitaries in a fairly meaningless job.
Give her nothing. But maybe just refer to her as "Former UN High Commissioner" as that is where she did her damage?

"Waving a book of anti-Semitic cartoons distributed at the anti-racism conference in Durban, UN High Commissioner Mary Robinson – in a dramatic act of identification with the Jews vilified in the pamphlet – declared "I am a Jew" at an NGO dinner there Wednesday night.
Shimon Samuels, of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Paris, said that after he showed Robinson the booklet, she stood up, waved it and said, "This conference is aimed at achieving human dignity. My husband is a cartoonist, I love political cartoons, but when I see the racism in this cartoon booklet, of the Arab Lawyers' Union, I must say that I am a Jew – for those victims are hurting. I know that you people will not understand easily, but you are my friends, so I tell you that I am a Jew, and I will not accept this fractiousness to torpedo the conference."
Samuels, head of the Jewish caucus at the anti-racism conference, said that the booklet, which he said contained vile anti-Semitic cartoons, was handed out at registration, and that several of the Jewish groups in Durban had complained about it."
"Once there was a man who had said awful things about someone. Realizing that he has done something awful, he goes to his rabbi and asks, "Rabbi, what can I do?" The rabbi thinks a bit and tells the man to bring him a feather pillow. The man brings the pillow, and the rabbi tells him to go outside, rip the pillow open, and shake out the feathers. The man does that. As he shakes out the feathers, the wind catches them, and they start flying everywhere. The man comes back to the rabbi and says, "I did as you said. Now what? "The rabbi says, "Now go back outside and pick up all the feathers." The man looks startled and says, "How can I? The wind took them! I don't even know where they are now." The rabbi says, "Exactly. Just like your words. Once they're out, it's impossible to get them back"
Go for it Ron.

Why is anyone surprised by Obama's actions? Remember the "Reverend" Wright and his vile anti-Semitic attacks in the church Obama attended for twenty years? Oh – Obama never hear those vile attacks. Either he was sleeping during services or he's dissembling. If you had to choose one of those, which one would you choose?

Will this action lead to an erosion of support for Obama by American Jews? Are you kidding? I'm convinced that a majority of American Jews agree with her positions on Israel. The number of Jews of participate in the Israeli apartheid week events at North American universities is one good indicator of this.
I also think that despite the White House claims now that they did not properly vet her, they knew full well who they were planning to award the medal to. The choice is entirely in keeping with Obama's choice in advisors since his election (e.g. Samantha Power) and in his pre-presidential life (e.g. Khalid whatsisname). Obama is of the far left, and universally the far left views Israel as an illegitimate, apartheid state.

Mister Radosh, good question – the problem the Democrats face is a serious one, that is they all jumped on The Obama ship in a kind of trance and now they found that they kind of signed up with… something quite uncomfortable.
While they still haven't been brought at a "discomfort" level that would make them bail out, their past few month politics have been defined by their frantic attempts to drag the Reps in any form of association with Obama's policies, in any domain, shape and form, up to the Robinson affair – and this is a sign of brewing discontent (also I will credit the Reps for doing a pretty good job at resisting this street corner pimping type of effort, leaving for the Dems the glory of birthing the most miserable age of American politics).
'till when? Alas! All philosophers would agree – shit can 'appen any time, so let's be optimistic – after all, we've gone through just 200 days -

Barack Obama has effectively pushed aside the center-left Jewish Democrats. He no longer even thinks it necessary to throw them a bone or two. They will now have to join the center-right Republicans. And yes, this is a dark night of the soul experience. But that's just the way one should always approach any political party. This is normally the number one question: what have you done for me recently? The hell with sixty years ago. Those debts have long been paid. Harry Truman has been in his grave for close to forty years.

"16, Dershowitz explained it. They don't care about Israel. It's abortion, stupid."
Your point is well taken. Alan Dershowitz tries to embrace practical atheism along with Judaism. This is inherently a doomed proposition. Numerous Catholics, Protestants, and Jews have been seduced by cultural leftism. They all suffer from the dire consequences. Dershowitz is being pushed into the corner. He now has to decide on his priorities.

A leopard doesn't change his spots, and Obama is simply acting out his ideology.
The Medal of Freedom award to Robinson is meant to mock what it stands for and reduce its value to future recipients.
This man will not stop until he has "changed" all that is good about our republic's legacy of freedom and democracy, and remade America into his utopian Marxist vision.

"The conference was run by the member states, particularly by South Africa as the chair. So all key meetings and all decisions at the official level were made by governments and Mrs Robinson wasn't present when they were arguing about whether anti-Semitic language which was in brackets should be included. But Mrs Robinson did finally, after the United States and Israel had withdrawn, persuade South Africa to take this language out immediately and to continue with the conference. And that is what happened. So the formal Durban declaration is without any anti-Semitic language of any kind and it was welcomed by Shimon Peres when it was made known on 8th September 2001."
If Israel and the USA stuck with the conference perhaps they could have got this result, but they didn't……

Frank, Ms. Robinson's "I am a Jew" moment came after she had already taken or tolerated numerous actions that allowed the Durban conference to degenerate to the anti-Semitic level that it did. Her apparently sincere shock at the result convinces no one. Her constant distortion of Israel's actions, her ignoring genocidal efforts on the part of any number of Arab groups, her adoption uncritically of the Palestinian meme, and her frequent remarks about Jewish power make me unimpressed with her condemnation of crude anti-Semitic cartoons. There is no need to gather feathers.
Like President Obama, she probably sincerely condemns the crudest and most vulgar manifestations of anti-Semtisim. Like President Obama, she is in my opinion incapable of recognizing any of the less crude or less vulgar manifestations. Like President Obama and Bishop Tutu, she is a true agent of change — deliberately or othrewise, they are changing America to make blatant anti-Semitic blatherings respectable again.

I stand corrected, I thought that it was only "the crudest and most vulgar manifestations" of Zionist zealots (We have before us the command of the Torah, whose morality surpasses that of any other body of laws in the world: "Ye shall blot them out to the last man.) attacking Ms Robinson so that they had a stick to hit Oboma with because he is serious about getting Israel to make the concessions necessary for peace (freezing settlements once and for all, halting unfair land grabs in East Jerusalem, and generally causing the Palestinian people less suffering.) And there I was thinking that Ms Robinson was only anti-injustice.

Who let the 911 truther in here ? Ah yes, the evil Sharon (he who feasted on the blood of infants) was responsible for the intifada by visiting a place where Jews have every right to visit as the Pals renegued on the security they'd promised twice. Oh……. and while Pal TV encouraged everyone to get off their collective duffs, rush down and take advantage of all those piles of neatly stacked rocks which had miraculously appeared from out of thin air. Magic.
Despite the fact that the PA has publicly acknowledged multiple times that the Intifada was planned well in advance, slimey creeps such as yourself just can't help but lie thru your teeth about it.
You're everything I've come to despise about the left; you're hysterically dishonest and an idiot to boot. In that vein, your rant is a nice break from usual posts in here; y'know, the intelligent ones.

There are many things that will need to be undone when o is finally voted out of office or impeached after 2010 and some utterly inexcusable breach of trust or act of treason is committed. Obama is a Black Liberation Marxist with Marxist sympathies. He stated in his Dream book written by Bill Ayers (admitted Domestic Terrorist) that he would always stand with the Muslim if an ill wind should blow. What damage is giving an American Medal of Freedom to another Anti-Zionist Marxist, that is probably the least damaging things he has done since taking office and will need to be one of the many things corrected after a Patriot is restored to the office of the Executive.
Hopefully, he will have angered the American People to the extent that he will exist as an impotent lame duck after 2010. His rantings and ravings will soon be consigned to the dust bin of history, to be forgotten as one of America's most shameful lapses of common sense.

Let'see, Frank, some point out that in the name of anti-Zionism Ms. Robinson organized an "anti-racism" conference that not only failed to condemn anti-Semitism, but blatantly promulgated it. In response, you chose to ridicule the Jewish religion, or at least your limited understanding of the Jewish religion. Usually those who hide behind the banners of "We're not anti-Semitic, only anti-zionist" and "Anyone who justly criticises Israel gets smeared as being an anti-Semite" try to do a better job of hiding their feelings.

This was my first experience at such a seminar and I must say I was impressed. What a time saver also. Way to keep thinks on track. You guys did a good job on keeping things rolling. I would very much look forward to future seminars. I have pages of notes and will have to pick out a couple things to concentrate on in the short term.

A Brief history of The Salvation Army of Lee, Hendry, & Glades Counties
Historical records about organizing the first corps unit in the city of Fort Myers, Florida document the growing need for the services of The Salvation Army. News clippings from 1951 report that the informational meeting had to be moved from the Edison Theater on Hendry Street to the larger auditorium facility of the Edison Park School on Euclid Avenue to accommodate the anticipated number of attendees.
Captains Arthur and Viola Sanders established the first post between Sarasota and Miami in Fort Myers. They were joined by names familiar to Fort Myers at the time, such as Frank Alderman, the Reverend Eric Dance, former Mayor Heard Edwards, Lloyd Hendry, former U.S. Senator George Smathers, Harry Kagan, Mrs. George Allen, Charles Powell, and Frank B. Watson Jr.
Captain and Mrs. Sanders began ministering to the needy immediately from the Army's first headquarters across from the U.S.Post Office (the former Federal Building) on Lee Street. Records note that 300 families were served during the first quarter of operation. Today, more than 300 families are served monthly.
In 1969, The Army established Lee County's first food bank near downtown Fort Myers, on the corner of Jackson and Hendry. The Sanders worked out of an office on Lee Street. Since the office was small, meetings and early worship services were held under a tent located at the corner of Palmetto and C Streets. From its humble roots on Lee Street, The Salvation Army has expanded several times in its span of service. Expanded locations Today, The Army has an expanded campus of social services located on Edison Avenue, including The Red Shield Lodge—a 220–bed residential shelter facility. On the Social Services Campus, The Army also provides Outreach care such as our Client Choice Food Pantry and evening meal program located within Sallly's Cafe and Marketplace. In addition to the central campus, The Army operates three Family Stores: one on South Tamiami Trail in Fort Myers, the second store on Del Prado in Cape Coral and lastly one on Boy Scout Dr in central Fort Myers. The Corps Community and Worship Center is located on McGregor Boulevard.
In the summer of 2004, an outpost for services was added in Bonita Springs. We have been serving the Bonita Springs community since 1994, but had been serving through community centers and public spaces until we were able to secure our own faciility in which to provide services to those in need. In 2006, The Salvation Army of Lee County officially became The Salvation Army of Lee and Hendry Counties. The Army had worked with community of Hendry County since 1994 through a Service Center in LaBelle. Oversight for this Center was provided through our Divisional Headquarters in Tampa and through a team of dynamic volunteers. However, in 2006, the administration of the LaBelle Service Center was officially transfered to the Lee County Corps. In the fall of 2010, the administration of The Army's Service Unit in Clewiston was also transfered from our Divisional Headquarters to the Lee and Hendry County Corps. The Army has been serving the Clewiston community since 1976 through the work of invaluable volunteers and one staff person.
