Destiel is my Drug of Choice.Castiel stayed with Sam and Dean in their usual run-of-the-mill crap motel while he was human. He slept on the overly stained grey couch while the boys slept in the two queen-sized beds. It was early in morning, and the three were about to meet up with Bobby to go on a hunt. Cas had taken his tie off before he went to sleep, for it was a bit tight and kind of strangling him. Dean slept in while Sam went to grab everyone breakfast at the diner down the street. Cas woke up and just stared at the untied tie in his hand. He went over to Dean and whispered,"Dean. Dean. I don't know how to tie a tie."Dean's glassy eyes fluttered open and he saw Cas with an absolutely helpless look on his face holding his blue tie. Dean crawled out of bed and stumbled onto his feet. Cas didn't budge, so Dean was only inches away from him."Cas..." Dean chuckled.Cas cocked his head to the side and widened his brilliant blue eyes as he said,"what?"Dean just smiled and started tying Castiel's tie.Cas watched
Destiel.Sam and Dean trudged back home- into a frightfully dull motel room with chipping grey paint clinging to the old beaten up walls. Sam was tired and sore from the demon-hunt. He collapsed on his bed, which made the steel springs shriek as a puff of dust and smoke exploded from the dingy bedspread."I'm going out, I need some air," Dean directed at Sam, who was already fast asleep.Dean walked out of the room and was greeted by a cool wisp of wind as he shut the creaking door as quietly as he could. He turned around and was startled by who he saw. Cas."Cas, where has your feathery angel ass been?!""Hello, Dean," Castiel replied in a hushed but husky voice.Whatever cares or worries Dean had, they melted away when Castiel spoke his name. And perhaps it was the dim lighting of the flickering street lights, but it looked to Dean as if Cas wore a slight smile.There was an awkward silence that floated throught the air until Castiel remembered..."Oh, personal space. I forgot."Castiel was a

Fishworks, Bath
England BA1 2JY
Tel: 44 1225 448 707
Concierge.com's insider take:
Back in 1997, seafood obsessive Mitchell Tonks had the bright idea of combining a fishmonger with a café—and a fish-cooking school. Since the tenth branch opened in July 2006 (in London's Parsons Green district), FishWorks is officially a minor national phenomenon, with Tonks almost equaling Rick Stein as England's TV-chef fishmeister. Freshness and good value are the mantras here, with chef Ollie Navias bringing the pick of the catch from the store's fishermen-suppliers to table. You can select your own specimen from the fish counter, or try dishes like roasted skate with brown butter with capers, breaded fried haddock, or sea bream baked in salt (the selection varies with market availability). Taramasalata made from fresh smoked cod's roe is the house specialty. Unusually for England, the casual dining room is augmented by a covered, heated deck.

Swine flu activity in Colorado remains sporadic, according to the most recent data gathered by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
For the week ending Jan. 30, the CDC reports that H1N1 swine flu has dwindled dramatically across the country--with Idaho, Montana and Nebraska reporting no cases at all. Just six states report regional outbreaks, and it is not widespread anywhere.
Just eight confirmed H1N1 swine flu deaths were reported nationwide during the last week of January.

For nearly 150 years, the Mallinckrodt name has represented quality products, business integrity, and service – to patients, customers and the communities in which we live and work. Now once again an independent global specialty pharmaceutical company, at Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals we continue to apply our unique strengths, experience and expertise to bring products to the market that provide enormous value for physicians and the patients we jointly serve.
The common thread critical to our past and future success is that strong ability to master and manage complexity. Simply put – we strive to make the complex simple.
Our core strengths provide the catalysts for future success, including the acquisition and management of highly regulated raw materials; deep regulatory knowledge; distinctive manufacturing and logistics skills where vertical integration is an advantage; expertise in specialized chemistry, development and formulation; and global commercial reach.
Our HeritageNearly a century and a half ago, Gustav, Otto and Edward Mallinckrodt founded G. Mallinckrodt and Company in 1867. The company has grown and established many vital milestones along the way. What set us apart then also sets us apart today – our core values of quality, integrity and service.
Our FutureRecent key developments have fueled our company's growth, including the acquisition of important brands that have expanded our commercial platforms. We've also secured U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of a dozen new products since 2010. We evaluate additional opportunities with an eye to improving and expanding our portfolio to bring value to all stakeholders. As we look to the future, we'll continue to implement strategies that will capitalize on the broad growth platforms we have created with a strong portfolio of pain and central nervous system products for office- and hospital-based physicians, and in rare disease therapeutic areas.
Specialty PharmaceuticalsMallinckrodt has a growing branded product portfolio that is bringing innovative solutions to patients. Millions of patients suffer each day from acute and chronic pain. Using our core strengths in development, formulation and manufacturing, as well as through targeted acquisitions, we provide a robust portfolio of analgesics to address pain both in the hospital setting and at home. At the same time, Mallinckrodt is committed to fighting opioid misuse and abuse; we advance diverse programs that encourage and support appropriate use of pain medications.
Our autoimmune and rare diseases business provides therapies to treat patients suffering from a variety of devastating and difficult to treat brain, autoimmune and inflammatory illnesses, often for individuals for whom other therapies provide unsatisfactory treatment outcomes. Specialty therapeutic areas of focus include neurology, rheumatology, nephrology and pulmonology.
The company is also one of the top 10 U.S. generic pharmaceutical companies, based on prescriptions written in 2013, and our specialty controlled substance generic products have formed Mallinckrodt's base business for decades. Our active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including narcotics, acetaminophen, stearates, phosphates and peptides, are used in the manufacture of a variety of prescription drugs and other products.
Global Medical ImagingOur medical imaging business helps aid diagnosis of disease for millions of patients worldwide. The discovery of X-rays for medical diagnosis in 1895 changed the world of medicine. Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals remains at the forefront of these advances. Our experience allows us to offer high-quality contrast agents, delivery systems and radiopharmaceuticals essential to diagnostic imaging.
Global Manufacturing ReachOur ability to manufacture complex products and deliver them efficiently to our customers reflects our values of quality, integrity and service.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30
19 | 8 | 6 | ||
I own it | I want it | I had it |
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 is the world's slimmest digital compact camera that is waterproof to 10m, freeze- and shock-proof. It has an ultra-slim metal body, which you can easily slide into the smallest of pockets. Its touchscreen OLED display is one of the best in this class - at least indoors. The TX30 also has a host of useful features that work very well. Its main problems are mostly related to its display. It's very difficult to see outdoors, scratches easily, and the camera becomes nearly useless underwater, since the capacitive touchscreen does not function.
Body type | Ultracompact |
Effective pixels | 18 megapixels |
Sensor type | BSI-CMOS |
Focal length (equiv.) | 26–130 mm |
Optical zoom | 5× |
Articulated LCD | Fixed |
Screen size | 3.3″ |
Screen dots | 1,229,000 |
USB | USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) |
GPS | None |
The Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 is an ultra-thin rugged camera for those who don't want to worry about the camera getting a little wet. It's certainly not for divers, as the touchscreen display does not work underwater. The otherwise beautiful OLED display is also difficult to see outdoors. The flash is very weak, and battery life is poor. Photo quality is decent for its class, though details are smudged when viewed full size. Since it lacks the GPS of its peers, the TX30 isn't a great value, either.
Good for: Those seeking an ultra-thin rugged camera with a fun feature set that can get a little wet.
Not so good for: Serious underwater photographers, those taking flash photos or shooting in bright outdoor light. People who want a built-in GPS.

Good thing Rick Ross is not the forgiving type! He'd have a lot of reconciling to do with his
inner soul. I was JUST told that there was a home invasion on Rick Ross's tour bus! The
realness of Detroit caught up with Rick Ross first hand and his tour bus suffered.
July 22, 2012: Rapper Rick Ross was CAUGHT SLIPPING this weekend in Detroit. You see,
he parked his TOUR BUS on the street . . . and as HUNGRY as the streets are in Detroit . . .
they thought it was FOOD!!!
The streets say a group of ARMED MEN burst into the bus . . . expecting to take hostages
and ROB EVERYONE. Luckily for Rozay and them, no one was on the bus. So the goons
STOLE everything they could . . . and BROKE UP ISH when they were done.

About This Data
Note: To build this database, ProPublica obtained two sets of records from the U.S. Department of Transportation. We cleaned it to remove duplicates and other discrepancies, but it may have mistakes we didn't catch. If you find one, please let us know and include any information that may help us verify the correction. Also, the federal data is based on the states' monthly reporting and may not be up-to-date.
First, we received an updated copy of the national database of stimulus road and bridge projects as of Sept. 25. Separately, we obtained data that states filed to the federal government as part of the stimulus legislation's reporting requirements. These data list which contractors had been awarded particular projects. We were able to trace more than 90 percent of the funds to individual counties. In a few other cases, projects are statewide and cannot be narrowed to county or serve multiple counties. We've indicated those cases in the data.
Wherever possible, we matched DOT projects to state recovery filings. They did not match in every instance. The DOT projects, which total $19 billion, include hundreds of projects not yet associated with a contractor. The contractors' data totals about $13 billion in obligated funds. In a few cases, state contractors did not match a DOT project. Some projects also have multiple contractors. When there is no matching contractor information for a project, searches and lists will return a blank.
We're trying to make this information as accurate as possible, so if you see something that needs to be corrected, please let us know.

someone needs to go restore Aushwitz back to it's horror days and let him suffer in there for a few years. if he doesn't die of starvation, disease, or just being worked to death, then they can always just put him into a gas chamber and tell him it's a nice warm shower... to hell if he thinks it didnt happen, let the bastard experience it himself

Remember, our friend in Iran believes that there has to be a cataclysmic battle between good and evil to bring about the return of the 13th Imam - something analogous to The Resurrection for Christians.
So, anything he can do to aggravate the situation is all good (in his eyes) because the eventual clash is a no-lose situation. It also raises his stock in the mainstream middle east region. Israel is a really big issue there (there are even pop music songs in arabic about hating Israel). These folks believe Israel is the root of all evil.

As a child, the one thing i feared most was my mum going topless on holiday.

I haven't been back to Legoland since....
lol good one
excellent - I wish I'd said that. (I expect I will)
Has she ever done that before?
That a hand would come up the toilet and pull me down.... or something would get hold of my ankles as I got out of bed in the middle of the night...
Dude, how did you overcome that fear, because I still totally have that.
Overflowing toilets.
I've never really gotten over that one.
Those damn Kisses from my Aunties...seemed to have an awful lot of Aunties..why some even appeared to have Beards and Moustaches ...still shiver at the thought yuckkkk
That I would have to grow up. Whew! Now I know it just ain't gonna happen...
My parents!
Death.I used to think nothing happens once we die but after seeing a few ghosts and feeling them and hearing them,Im no longer afraid of death.
feeling them???
darkness and i still fear it
My sisters told me I would die if I didn't get rid of the hiccups.
As a child, almost to age 11 I could not go to sleep without a light on - an abnormal fear of the dark. But I knew there wasn't anything to fear, so I forced myself to deal with it, and ever since then I actually find it difficult to fall asleep unless all the lights are out and it's as dark as I can make it - a 180 degree turnaround.
Out of my whole life there were only two things I was scared of'. Death and Whales. And those STILL terrify me!!!!!!!!!!
Dark shadows. We had a coat rack in my bedroom and things hung from it. It really bothered me when I was little.
dreams of falling to my death...cured by ba<x>se jumping,and not dying
That I was going to stay that same size forever and just get old.
That I was adopted and my "real" parents were coming to get me...I'm not adopted
My mother, the Wicked Witch of West Hollywood, and the evil therapist she hired who believed her and not me (I was merely a little girl with no rights and no credibility), were both fully capable of having me locked up ba<x>sed on their accusations that I was "incorrigible," because this was the 1950s and you could do that back then. The evil therapist would threaten me with it now and then just to scare me.

It worked. I was scared. One of the things the evil therapist used to say to me was, "They'll put you in the Dorothy Kerby Center where they will beat you with a strap." I lived in fear of being locked up for the rest of my life.

When I grew up, I became a teacher and went to work with the County of LA as a substitute teacher in juvenile detention facilities. On my first day of work, the first place they sent me to was...the Dorothy Kerby Center!

Yes, the therapist was right, I DID wind up at the Dorothy Kerby Center but she never would have believed they would PAY me to be there.

As for that strap, according to the staff there, they stopped doing that in 1939. I guess the evil shrink was out of date with their policies.
locker room nudity -- an all male situation that was difficult at first and then became totally natural and relaxed. Even when I go to Spas today I like to be totally nude because of my past experiences.

I attended an all boys boarding school in High School and I had to adjust to the abundant male nudity that existed in that place. I hated it at first and then became very comfortable with it and grew to really like it. I like all male spas now because I can be nude with other guys without any shame or shyness. It is all natural and comfortable. Guys naked together is just the best!
Because of things that had happened i was fearful of being around men..

Now they amuse me....
learning how to swim without a lifejacket and in deep water
being terrified of my father, now im not anymoree i cant stand him

She was pronounced dead at the scene.
None of the roughly 10 people on the charter bus were injured. Authorities said bus driver, 61-year-old Woodrow Minor, was transporting passengers to a cruise. No charges have been filed. The crash remains under investigation.
Authorities closed the arrival lanes for about four hours, snarling traffic at the busy airport.

Back to NewsManual Arts MESA Team Top Ten in World-Wide Robotics Competition!
A student team from Manual Arts High School placed 8th in an international robotics challenge.
The Zero Robotics Autonomous Capture Challenge is a programming tournament sponsored by NASA, MIT and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) . Teams must to develop an algorithm for a robotic pod that would autonomously identify and capture a satellite in space.
More than one hundred teams from countries around the world including Russian, South Korea and India competed. Robo–skunks is the only team from California to place in the top ten. Winners were announced May 1.
Led by MESA advisor John Santos, 12th graders Adedamola Tombrown, Korayma Arrevalo, 11th grader Eduardo Avila and 10th grader Ali Ibsin worked for five weeks on the project.
"Our students accomplished something some might say is impossible," Santos said. "An inner–city school competed with some of the top aerospace engineering and computer science programs from throughout the world and finished in the top ten."
The team was mentored by volunteers from Lockheed Martin, Northup Grumman and Raytheon and toured the satellite development facility at Boeing for inspiration.
MESA students at Manual Arts are served by the MESA center housed at University of Southern California. Thirty–two percent of Manual Arts students are English language learners and 77 percent receive free and reduced lunch.
MESA is an academic preparation program that serves more than 21,000 California pre–college, community college and university students who are educationally disadvantaged.
Seventy–four percent of MESA high school students go to college after graduation compared to 41 percent of all California students. Sixty percent of MESA high school graduates go on to college as math, engineering or science majors.

Microsoft is copying Apple, but must beware tablet fragmentation
The consensus around the industry is that Microsoft is 'doing an Apple' by launching its own tablet, in the sense that the Redmond giant would then have its own hardware, software and pool of apps to police, thereby controlling the entire user experience.
To that end, Informa's principal analyst David McQueen believes Microsoft is following Apple and (to lesser extent) Google in making its own devices, but stresses that Microsoft must not miss a beat when it comes down to marketing the device.
"By taking this approach Microsoft needs to make sure it hits the market running as it is essential the tablet is marketed properly and shows its full potential if it has any hope of displacing Apple's iPad".
That said, McQueen thinks that the success of Microsoft's own-brand tablet will depend on Microsoft Office, and warns that ARM and Intel fragmentation could put the brakes on any Windows 8 tablets in enterprise, Microsoft-branded or otherwise.
"If it (the Microsoft tablet) has the requisite Windows Office applications available from launch and suitable peripherals to make input easier at a price point that is competitive, then I do see it displacing notebooks and netbooks replacement in the office.
"There may be a problem with fragmentation owing to ARM-based and Intel-based versions of the same Windows 8 OS, and possible differences by vendor, but this may be addressed in future Windows releases."
Microsoft must sell the tablet for under $500, and keep OEMs happy
Context analyst Salman Chaudhry poignantly suggests that 'there's a lot resting on this one' and even claims that the launch event may determine whether Microsoft's entry into the tablet market is a success over the next two years.
For Chaudhry, Microsoft needs to get across the tablet's unique selling points in face of competition from Apple, and he believes that any such Windows 8 tablet must be sold for under $500, offer native Office tools, Xbox Live functionality and a stable of high-quality apps. Interestingly, the analyst believes that Microsoft may make a loss on the device, at least when it is first launched.
"We would anticipate that Microsoft will be following its Xbox model strategy by looking to gain mindshare and market share despite potential initial losses made on sales of the device itself. Once enterprise adoption has been created, this will be followed by consumer adoption – which is taking a reverse approach to Apple", said Chaudhry.
That said, Chaudhry says that Microsoft mustn't forget those OEM partners who are licensing Windows 8 for tablets. "Microsoft needs to maximize and nurture relationships with existing OEMs and overcome the challenge of maintaining a hardware development strategy while keeping OEMs happy".
Or: Microsoft will announce a content partnership, not it's own-brand tablet
For all the excitement over a Microsoft tablet, Carolina Milanesi, research VP for consumer technologies at Gartner, debates whether Microsoft will announce a tablet, and even questions what the point would be.
"I am not sure about the value a branded tablet would have for Microsoft, other than setting the benchmark for what it wants ODMs to deliver. But if this is the case, the event today seems way too hyped for it".
Milanesi went onto suggest that today's event more be more of a content partnership. "I am more on the thinking that the event today is linked to some content deal for Xbox or even for tablets".

Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04, the two powerhouses from the Ruhr area, had won the Champions League and UEFA Cup, respectively. A year earlier, Berti Vogts' Germany had triumphed in the Euro 1996 final against the Czechs.Below the radar, however, something strange and disconcerting was happening: Germany was running out of decent players. The influx from GDR-trained professionals that was supposed to make "Germany unbeatable for years to come" (according to Franz Beckenbauer after winning the World Cup in 1990) had dried up along with the funding for the specialized sports schools where they had been drilled from a very young age. In the Bundesliga, newly rich clubs awash with TV money had gone on a spending spree, doubling the number of foreigners from 17 percent (1992) to 34 percent (1997) in five years.Desperate for strikers in particular, national manager Vogts ensured that South-African born Sean Dundee, a Karlsruher FC player without any German background, was fast-tracked for German citizenship. Dundee received his passport in January 1997 but never played for Germany after picking up an injury before his first scheduled game, a friendly against Israel, and losing his form soon after.Vogts' successor, Erich Ribbeck, equally desperate, approached another Bundesliga import, Brazilian forward Paulo Rink (Leverkusen). Rink, it turned out, had German grandparents and was quickly introduced to the national team. He picked up 13 caps from 1998 to 2000.The cases of Rink and Dundee, both unprecedented in German football since the war, demonstrated that something was very wrong. The disappointing quarterfinal exit against Croatia at the 1998 World Cup then made it plain to see: not enough talent was coming through. In the Bundesliga, the percentage of foreigners had risen again, to 50 percent by the time the season kicked off in 2000.The German FA realized that something had to be done. It looked at the French system and decided that something similar was needed. In May 1999, FA vice president Beckenbauer, first-team manager Ribbeck, Bayer Leverkusen general manager Reiner Calmund and FA Director of Youth Development Dietrich Weise presented a new concept for producing young German footballers. All across the country, 121 national talent centers would be built to help 10- to 17-year-olds with technical practice. Each center would employ two full-time coaches at a cost of $15.6 million over five years. The second key point was a new requirement for all 36 professional clubs in Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 to build youth academies."If this concept works, we will see a lot of youngsters get into Bundesliga clubs in the coming years," Weise said.Crucially, the FA's initiative coincided with the liberalization of the citizenship laws and a willingness to integrate young footballers with migratory background into the Germany setup. When Germany won the right to host the 2006 World Cup in July 2000, clubs and the FA pulled together even closer and redoubled their efforts to invest in youth development.While structural reforms were getting off the ground at grassroots level, the lack of top German talent was becoming ever more pronounced. In 2002-03, the percentage of foreigners in the first division had reached 60 percent. But a financial meltdown was forcing a rethink. The Kirch TV conglomerate that had bankrolled the Bundesliga boom since the early '90s collapsed in 2002, leaving the clubs in severe financial difficulties. Faced with huge, unsustainable wage bills, they found that the easiest way to cope was to release all the well-paid but fairly mediocre foreigners on their books and replace them with young, much cheaper recruits from their own youth teams. Felix Magath's young VfB Stuttgart side of 2003-04 became trail blazers for this new trend when it beat Manchester United in the Champions League with a squad full of homegrown kids like Timo Hildebrandt, Kevin Kuranyi and Andreas Hinkel."The boys definitely benefited from the Kirch collapse," Thomas Albeck, Stuttgart's head of youth development, told SI.com. "The club was not in a position to buy any players for 18 months in 2001-02 and suddenly youngsters like Hinkel, Hildebrand and Kuranyi got a chance."Two years later, we were in the Champions League with them. You can also look at Dortmund and Hertha, who both struggled financially and had to play their youngsters. It's worked out well for them and more and more clubs woke up to the fact that they could create real assets by spending money on the kids."The Bundesliga found that fostering talents was not only good for the balance sheet but also for the brand. Fans flocked to the stadiums to see homegrown players with whom they could identify.By the time Stuttgart's "Young Wild Ones" were making waves in Germany and Europe, changes were afoot in the national team, too. After a disappointing Euro 2004, where Germany was knocked out in the group stage for the second time in a row, manager Rudi Völler resigned. Jürgen Klinsmann took over with the specific directive "to take the whole shop apart." He introduced a new, highly individualized fitness regime devised by American specialists, replaced old FA apparatchiks with trusted lieutenants and embarked on a radical repositioning of the tactical identity of the national team. Under Ribbeck and Völler, a lack of creative players had made the side progressively more negative, as well as overly reliant on individual heroics from midfielder Michael Ballack and keeper Oliver Kahn.Klinsmann, the former Spurs and Bayern forward, had other ideas. He wanted Germany to play an (idealized) version of Premier League soccer; a 4-4-2 system with attacking wide players, overlapping fullbacks and only one holding midfielder behind box-to-box tyro Ballack. Opponents would be pressed and overwhelmed high up the pitch by players hunting in packs. It was a style that caught the imagination of the public but needed some modification to bring results: Ballack unselfishly persuaded Klinsmann to play him deeper alongside Torsten Frings in a more defensive role before the tournament started.Klinsmann assistant Joachim"Jogi"Löw continued on this path after succeeding his boss but had to rethink his formation when Croatia beat Germany 2-1 at the 2008 Euros. His 4-4-2 was ill-equipped to deal with sides that had deep-lying shadow strikers or playmakers "between the lines" and also suffered from predictability. Doubling up on Germany's wide players would disrupt the supply to the forwards and reduce them to shots from distance.Löw adopted a more fluid 4-2-3-1 system with Ballack behind sole striker Miroslav Klose to get to the final, but it was the emergence of Mesut Özil (Werder Bremen) that enabled this system to really blossom one year later. The 21-year-old started his first game for Germany as a No. 10 in a friendly against South Africa and instantly added another dimension. Löw also benefited from Louis van Gaal's success at Bayern. The Dutch manager transformed Bayern into a possession-based footballing side modeled on Barcelona, made Bastian Schweinsteiger into a great holding midfielder and helped Thomas Müller break through as a hard-to-define, all-around attacking player.It's no coincidence that this is the youngest ever German team since 1934: Löw has had more good, young players to choose from than any other DFB-coach in the last two decades. The changes that were introduced 10 years ago have paid dividends: In the last two years, Germany won the European championship at U-17, U-19 and U-21 level."We have undoubtedly more talent than 10 years ago," said Albeck, who has a budget of about $5 million at his disposal every year. Last season alone, the 36 Bundesliga clubs spent a combined $100 million on youth development, a higher proportion of income than any other major league. Germany's footballing philosophy has also changed. Whereas youth coaches would traditionally stress stamina and physical endurance, the new crop of highly qualified coaches is more interested in developing technical ability."We start with the U-9s. They play four-a-side, on small pitches, to encourage individual skills," Albeck said. "We then add players every year, only the U-13s are playing with full teams."Innovations at ground level combined with a strong financial and ideological commitment at the top (in the clubs and at the FA) have put German soccer in a position where it can look optimistically toward the future, regardless of the outcome against Argentina. Ten years ago, the debate was heavily tinged with nostalgia, with people wondering where the good old days had gone. Now Germany is going places again. Promoted Stories Comments


text: Tom Dunkel is a freelance journalist whose work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Washington Post Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Smithsonian, National Geographic Traveler, Wall Street Journal and numerous other newspapers and magazines. Dunkel's first book, Color Blind: The Forgotten Team that Broke Baseball's Color Line, was published in April 2013; now available in both hardcover and paperback. It's the true story of an integrated semipro baseball team that played in North Dakota during the Great Depression and whose marquee player was Satchel Paige, star pitcher and folk hero of the Negro Leagues. Booklist named Color Blind one of the Top 10 Sports Books of 2013. Color Blind also was a finalist for the Casey Award and the Society of American Baseball Research's Seymour Medal. "A delightful read. This is a tale worth telling." Washington Post �It is funny, it is sad, it is spellbinding, required reading for anyone who loves baseball, who loves a vivid story well-told." Philadelphia Daily News "Tom Dunkel revisits this [semipro] landscape to spin a tale as fantastic as it is true, as American as racism and baseball." Boston Globe "Dunkel's enthralling narrative of Bismarck's talented collection of white and black players falls into the 'must-read' category." Cleveland Plain Dealer "Dunkel tells one of the great untold stories about baseball history, one that almost sounds too good to be true." Chicago Tribune "This remarkable story is about race relations, American history and the potential of the national pastime to affect the national conscience." Minneapolis Star Tribune "Dunkel writes with a passion and flair that matches the gritty, hardscrabble North Dakota landscape and culture of the Great Depression. His meticulous research and clever writing blows the dust off a forgotten � but important � chapter in baseball history. A fascinating addition to baseball�s library." Tampa Tribune "A little-known but charming narrative that affirms baseball as a cornucopia of good stories." Daily Beast "Tom Dunkel's wonderfully reported book Color Blind casts a spotlight on a long overlooked but fascinating corner of baseball history." San Antonio Express-News "Does a terrific job of capturing a long-neglected topic in baseball history - semipro baseball - in its heyday, and paints a vivid picture of the sport�s role in the lives of the communities where it was played." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "A virtually forgotten but very significant piece of sports history�done in a very entertaining, narrative nonfiction style. Baseball fans will cherish this book, and it will become required reading among those who feel we can better understand today�s racial tensions by looking to the past." Booklist (starred review) "A captivating recollection of the Bismarck, ND integrated baseball team�Delivers an important rendering of a too-little-remembered challenge to American society�s segregated practices. Strongly recommended." Library Journal (starred review) "A decade before Jackie Robinson broke the Major League Baseball color line in 1947, an integrated team captured the imagination of Bismarck, North Dakota . . . Dunkel delves into the history of players, towns, and baseball itself in constructing this portrait of a harmonious team rising above a segregated society. . . . a story that transcends championships, and an inspirational reflection on an otherwise dismal human rights history." Publishers Weekly "The colorful yarn of an improbably integrated team�s wild days of independent baseball during the Great Depression�.A well-told account of a fascinating, and forgotten, chapter in the history of America�s national pastime." Kirkus "Full of colorful baseball lore, as well as social commentary, Color Blind is both first-rate history and an entertaining underdog sports story." Shelf Awareness "Tom Dunkel�s book Color Blind: high recommendation. It�s a thrilling story. If you love hidden histories, you�ll love this book!� Dave Ziron, �Edge of Sports Radio� on Sirius XM "A great story. One worthy of being read over and over by fans who truly love the game and understand what we all lost during the years baseball was segregated. It�s a story not just about baseball, but about hard times, about prohibition, gambling, juke joints and the double standards of the day. More than that, it�s a very good read." AtHomePlate.com "Give an exceptional storyteller an exceptional story to tell, and you just might wind up with a book as good as Tom Dunkel's Color Blind." Gene Weingarten, Washington Post columnist and two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing "Once upon a time, in a prairie town wrapped inside a Depression, a drought and the Dakotas, there lived a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: A semipro baseball team half-black, half-white and half-crazy wondering if Satchel Paige would materialize so it could keep turning all of baseball�s and America�s rules about race inside-out. And wrapped it all would�ve remained if Tom Dunkel hadn�t ripped off the cover in Color Blind and knocked it out of the yard." Gary Smith, Sports Illustrated senior writer "Tom Dunkel has researched the story meticulously and told it beautifully, aided by a cast of characters that Hollywood might have envied. Color Blind is an amazing story of black and white that should be read all over." John Thorn, official historian of Major League Baseball and author of Baseball In The Garden of Eden "Dunkel does the subject proud - - weaving a story together of a team, a town and a time. Memorable." Harvey Frommer, Travel-Watch.com �Marvelous� Carl Canon, Real Clear Politics "This is a wonderful book, well worth the read. It merits a very large audience.� Hispanic Link News Service �Color Blind is an entertaining, must-read for anyone interested in the history of baseball, and its role in this remarkable era of American history.� YankeeMania.com |

We had an awesome time staying in the North Shore Cottage. The owners leave a very thick, detailed guide for you so you know exactly where is good to eat, sight see, etc. (as well as helpful info about driving, parking) This was incredibly helpful and made us feel good about venturing all over the island instead of sticking to the resort area. We also rented their 2008 Jeep Wrangler, which made getting around the island a breeze (they parked it at the airport for us, and we left it there when we flew out). The Garmen GPS they provided got us everywhere we wanted to go, easily. The house is fully equipped with everything you need... and a sweet little white puppy greeted us several mornings on the porch! The house faces the desert, instead of the street (you actually drive up onto the back side from the street). Would definitely stay here again!

The original pool, built in 1936, has been transformed into a sprawling oasis which ranges from deep-end swimming to an ankle deep wading pool complete with squirting sprinklers for summertime fun. McCarren Pool had not been used for its original purpose since 1983 until Mayor Bloomberg and his PlaNYC initiative saw it as the perfect opportunity to bring a public recreation center back to the Williamsburg area, and commissioned Rogers Marvel Architects to do a redesign.
Aside from a pool that can accommodate 1,500 swimmers, the complex also has a volleyball court, a beach, spray showers, a basketball court, a weight room, a dance studio, a cardio room and community space, making the facility an asset to the neighborhood year round. The $50 million renovations used reclaimed wood from the Coney Island Boardwalk, adding more history to the site.
Visitors to the pool are welcomed through the infamous McCarren archway, where they can check in at the information kiosk, or visit welcome desks to the left and right of the entry passage. Outdoor lockers are available for storing street clothes, and sun loungers and umbrella tables can be picked up for lunch or a picnic. Guests can also climb the arched façade stairs and look down over the pool from a covered elevated terrace, which will host music programming in the future. In the winter, the pool may become an ice rink, so that the locals can enjoy the complex year round, inside and out.
And the best part is that admission to the pool is totally free! Swimmers can enjoy the beautiful new center from 11am – 3pm and 4pm – 7pm every day!

Morgan Lewis
b.14 Oct 1754 New York City, New York, United States
d.7 Apr 1844 New York City, New York, United States
Family tree▼ Facts and Events
Morgan Lewis (October 16, 1754 – April 7, 1844) was an American lawyer, politician and military commander.
After the Revolution, Lewis completed his legal studies and was elected to the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate. He was New York State Attorney General and later Justice and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New York. He served as governor of New York from 1804 to 1807, defeating Vice President Aaron Burr in the race to succeed future Vice President George Clinton as governor. On April 30, 1807, he was defeated in his run for re-election by Daniel D. Tompkins, also a future vice president. Tompkins received 35,074 votes, while Morgan Lewis received 30,989 votes. During the War of 1812 Lewis resumed his duties as Quartermaster General and served in western New York. He was commissioned as a brigadier general on April 3, 1812 and promoted to major general on March 2, 1813. He commanded the American forces at the Battle of Fort George. Although the British position was captured, Lewis ordered Colonel Winfield Scott to break off the pursuit of the defeated British troops. But for Lewis's over-caution, Scott might have been able to capture Major-General John Vincent's entire division and greatly weaken the British defense of the Niagara Peninsula. Later, Lewis was appointed as commander of upstate New York. After the conclusion of the war, Lewis was discharged from the Army on June 15, 1815. Lewis was a presidential elector in 1828. Lewis was a Freemason, and served as Grand Master in the Grand Lodge of New York from 1830-1843. From 1832 to 1835 he was the President of the Historical Society of New York. Lewis was an original member of the New York Society of the Cincinnati and served as the Society's President General from 1839 - 1844. Lewis helped to found New York University in New York City, where he was born and where he died. Lewis County, New York, the Town and Village of Lewiston, New York, and the Town of Lewis in Essex County, New York have been named to honor him.

Really liked that chairs are already assembled. Definitely an accent chair, would be small for many purposes, but great for my small room. It was just what I was looking for- I wanted arms I could lean against, neutral color. Not a really cushy chair and the back is quite upright and firm. I am using it for office chairs. The tacks are quite shiny, but attractive. Very good for the price.
Purchased this chair for a home office. Absolutely perfect! I paid attention to the measurements in the description, since this is a small chair. We are not large people, so the chair is perfect for our space. The color is exactly as described a true "linen" color. The box arrived quickly with a large hole in it from UPS. I worried that the fabric would be soiled. Alas, the chair was clean but the top was crushed. The actual frame was broken. I was worried that this would be a fiasco to return, but I immediately called Overstock and they sent me a new chair the very next day! UPS came to pick up the damaged chair a few days later. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I wish Overstock would include the manufacturer name in the product descriptions. This chair is from a well known company, and I would have ordered it sooner had I known.

MENTAL MIDGET IS 25 NOT OUT FRANK MALONEY celebrates 25 years as a promoter tomorrow night (THURS) when he launches The St George's Sporting Club. The gala dinner, cabaret and boxing show will be held at The Troxy in the east end of London a stone throw from the pub he once owned. Maloney has had a roller-coaster ride during his quarter of a century in boxing's shark infested waters, but insists he wouldn't change his time for any job in the world. The man branded a 'Mental Midget' by Don King said: "It is an old cliché, but if it wasn't for boxing I don't know where I would be today. "I certainly wouldn't have the lifestyle I've enjoyed for the last few years and met so many amazing people, good and bad! "I started in the Fourth Division and I like to think I have had a nice few years in the Premier League building the careers of champions." He has managed or promoted four world champions Lennox Lewis, Paul Ingle, Scott Harrison and David Haye. The passionate Millwall fan added: "The ultimate accolade for me during the last quarter of a century was managing Lennox Lewis - the only Briton ever to become undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. "It is no exaggeration when I say I know how Sir Alf Ramsey felt when England beat West Germany 4-2 in the 1966 World Cup Final. "It would never have been possible if a young lightweight called Richie Edwards hadn't walked into my pub, The Castle a stone throw from tonight's venue and asked me to manage him. "At the time I was disillusioned with boxing. I had packed up training amateurs and moved in the professional game training Frank Warren's stable "When Richie came along I was spending most nights sat at the bar drinking lager, but he gave me the kick up the backside I needed." Guest speaker at The Troxy show is the first fighter Maloney trained Terry Marsh with the music provided by a Chas 'n' Dave tribute act. Topping the boxing bill is the vacant English super-bantamweight title clash between Sheffield's serving soldier Ross Burkinshaw and Liverpool's Mike Robinson. Also in action is former British light-middleweight champion Gary Woolcombe and heavyweight hope Tom Dallas. Profits from the show will go to The Army Benevolent Fund and Edward Starr Charitable Trust. If you are interested in buying tickets for show call 0208 467 7647

ABC's Bret Hovell reports: Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., continued to hammer at Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill, Monday with the same line of attack that he took last week, criticizing Obama's willingness to meet diplomatically as president with isolated world leaders, like Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad.
Watch the VIDEO HERE.
Below are some excerpts from McCain's remarks, delivered in Obama's hometown of Chicago before the National Restaurant Association.
"I want to respond briefly to a comment Senator Obama made yesterday about the threat posed to the United States by the government of Iran. Senator Obama claimed that the threat Iran poses to our security is tiny compared to the threat once posed by the former Soviet Union. Obviously, Iran isn't a superpower, doesn't possess the military power the Soviet Union had. But that does not mean, by any stretch of the imagination that the threat posed by Iran is insignificant. On the contrary, right now Iran provides some of the deadliest explosive devices used in Iraq to kill our soldiers. They are the chief sponsor of Shia extremists in Iraq, and terrorist organizations in the Middle East. And their President, who has called Israel a stinking corpse, has repeatedly made clear his government's commitment, commitment, to Israel's destruction. Most worrying, Iran is intent on acquiring nuclear weapons…"
McCain continued: "This is not to suggest that the United States should not communicate with Iran our concerns about their behavior. Those communications have already occurred at an appropriate level, which the Iranians recently suspended. But a summit meeting with the President of the United States, which is what Senator Obama proposes, is the most prestigious card we have to play in international diplomacy. It is not a card to be played lightly."
The remarks about Iran and Obama topped the speech, which focused primarily on trade and economic policy and often mentioned Obama by name. McCain pledged that if elected president he would veto a farm bill loaded with farm subsidies and support NAFTA and other international trade agreements.
McCain's remarks were briefly interrupted by protesters wearing pink aprons and chanting "McCain is in the kitchen with George Bush." Security removed the protesters, who were loudly booed by the crowd. McCain got a standing ovation from the National Restaurant Association crowd when the protesters were gone.
