Heisey - Crystal or Glass?
A friend suggested I come here to ask my million questions and this is my first Antique forum post - be gentle with me, please ;-)
I have my mother's vintage water/wine, champagne/sherbet and cordials in the Candlelight pattern from the 30's. Does anyone know if these are crystal or glass? I always thought they were crystal but was told by someone who is pretty knowledgable (I think!) that Heisey is not crystal. I also can't find the mark on them (doesn't mean it's not there, but I don't know where to look) but was always told they are Heisey Candlelight.
Heisey is glass is crystal...
Crystal is a term for finely made glass. Heisey is beautifully made. It's a pressed glass finished by hand and always marked. I learned that people who say "it's un marked Heisey" are mistaken and calling something else Heisey.
Heisey is marked with an "H" in a diamond shape and mostly always in the center bottom of the piece.
But...I thought Candlelight was made by Cambridge?
Does the link show what you have?
Linda c
Here is a link that might be useful: candlelight
You see a lot of Heisy and Cambridge around here, because the old Heisey was located about twenty minutes from here in one direction, and the old Cambridge twenty minutes in the other. Both produced beautiful glassware. My MIL had two Heisey figurines she guarded with her life and never went anywhere without, even to packing them in her suitcases. LOL. One day she decided to part with them, and got enough from them to buy a beautiful new television. sigh.
It's true Heisey always marked their glass, but you can come upon unmarked pieces, because some were marked with paper labels.
Linda is right, candlelight was made by Cambridge glass and is exquisite. You can find unmarked Cambridge too. I'm not a 'glass' collector, although I love it. I pick up pieces if I come across unusual ones, or depression glass, or any I find in yard sales/charity shops I suspect might be valuable.....but there is so much of it out there, one can be burnt easily if they don't know what they're doing.
Well, now I'm really confused!
Linda that link does not show what I have - I'll have to get a picture for you, but in the meantime, this is the picture from Replacements.com. It's really far prettier in person.
Pattern: CANDLELIGHT by HEISEY [HEICAN] Pattern #: 3408
calliope that's a cute story about your MIL - sounds like you'd rather have the figurines!
I'm going to unpack a piece and look for a mark again.
I am confused too!! Nothing I know or can find mentions "heican" nor any candlelight pattern. The only place I can find it mentioned is Replacements.
It's perfectly gorgeous! is it lead crystal? Does it ring when flicked with a finger?
I am guessing it's not Heisey and Replacements has some sort of a glitch....but that's just a wild guess!
Have you looked at any of the other fill in places? Like patterns of the past, tabletops and a few others?
Maybe post a picture and send it to some of them.
I love a mystery!
Linda C
Here is a link that might be useful: heisey history
Linda I'll get a picture of it tomorrow - I need good light to get a clear picture and not bounce flash off it. I had great pictures but can't find them on my computer right now - of course. It's not Barcelona - that looks to have some sort of swirl pattern and mine has the dots shown in the pic above. It is a mystery.
Well, I just looked at the Patters of the Past website and nothing comes up for Heisey. But they're located in Princeton, IL which is about an hour from me so I could certainly make a trip there - Princeton is supposed to be a cute little town! Sounds like a field trip is in order.
Just googling Heisey Candlelight gets a few hits including ebay and Worthpoint. Curiouser and curiouser!! Thanks for your help - I'll be back tomorrow with pics.
Look in unexpected places for the Heisey mark. Their mark isn't always on the center bottom of the piece. Most of Heisey's stemware have blown bowls which were attached to pressed stems. Their trademark is pressed molded, so it has to be applied to the molded part of the stemware and that would be the stem itself. Poke around and use a magnifying glass if you have to before you discount your glasses as not being marked.
Found this reference to Heisey "Candlelight"
Here is a link that might be useful: Heisey Candlelight Picture / Pattern 3408
I've looked with a magnifying glass and if these pieces are marked, I'm not finding it. They match the Candlelight pattern in the link above, however so I'm confident about what they are.
These are the 3 pieces: water/wine, champagne/sherbet and cordial.
And this is a close look at the pattern
Here you can see a chip in the rim of a cordial
Now to the big question - are they collectible? saleable? and if so, how do I determine a reasonable price and the best sales venue? Unfortunately there is one piece missing, 12 cordials, 12 champagnes but 11 waters. I'm hoping Ebay is not the best option - we have bought/sold some things there over the years but it's changed and I'll avoid it if I can.
Thanks so much for your help and input.
Collectible,saleable? Does a bear poo in the woods? I wouldn't part with a collection that size. They were considered elegant dinnerware and cherished when they were new. It's a family heirloom.
LOL! Me neither! But then if some people didn't sell stuff, I wouldn't have a lot of the stuff I do have.
I am guessing that if you had to buy it you would pay well more than $2000 for it....but you might only get $700 or $800 to sell it....and of course the person who bought it wouldn't have their mother's set, just a set of lovely old glasses.
calliope I'm drowning in family heirlooms. My brother has all that he wants, his daughters have all they want and are giving things back to me that they chose from their grandparents and have since changed their minds about. My sons have no interest and even though they could conceivably have wives one day that would be interested, there are many other things that have more sentimental meaning to them and in the meantime I have to store it all!
The things I treasure are the things I have memories of my parents and grandparents actually using. Although this glass/crystal was used on occasion it involved fancy business dinners not family holiday meals.
So..... I do want to sell them, even though that makes me a horrible person ;-)
If it's Heisey, and I do believe it is now.........I think Linda's estimate is pretty much on the money. No, it doesn't make you a horrible person and I understand about keeping things you link to good memories about the people you loved actually using it. I recently executed my parent's estate. A good deal of it was mine to keep, but I have found homes in the family for most of it and saved for myself things I would have never guessed I'd chosen when my parents were alive. Most of the really choice pieces I parted with, and kept things with memories. And I haven't regretted my choices.
There are Heisey collector's clubs. People who know and appreciate their wares. Serious collectors are good candidates because if you collect something, and are knowledgeable about it, are you ever really satisfied with the size of your cache? If they don't want a particular item, they usually know somebody who does.
Thanks for the tip, calliope - I googled a bit and found a number of Heisey groups so at least I have a place to start.
It's not easy for me to part with things and I want to keep them simply because they belonged to my parents or grandparents. But that's not realistic or practical and will be even less so if we ever downsize.

Ok so I was really looking forward to seeing Brad Wollack! The really funny guy who opened for Brad was awesome too (usually the opener is just ok but he was really good)! Darn it His name escapes me right now...So I got all cute and did my makeup and hair so my husband could take a picture of me with Brad for my own gallery of pictures. In the past the comedians posed for a shot with your own camera or phone camera with no problem. That night some very young girl who was about the same age as my child yelled at me and my husband "NO PICTURES OR CAMERAS!!! She was just RUDE! It really really really pissed me off because we spent a TOTAL of $75.00 for the tickets for parking, a 2 hour show, drinks, food (One appetizer which was fair and just greasy) . That's extremely pricey for 2 hours of entertainment!! AND NO PICTURE WITH MY OWN CAMERA!!! I told my husband this will be the last time for the American Comedy Co. I have been recommending it to friends all the time but NOT ANYMORE!

Lowering cholesterol and calories, melting off excess bodyfat while maintaining muscle mass never tasted this good. If like me you love the taste of chocolate milk shakes, I stir 3 scoops of powder into a 12-oz glass of Silk Organic unsweetened soy milk. Thick and delicious. I use it daily, sometimes twice, as a meal replacement, and it keeps me feeling full for 4+ hours. This and the vanilla are the best-tasting protein powders I have ever tasted, by far, and I've tasted many.
Love it!

I have used this product for two days. I have replaced the lunch and evening food with this beverage. I've gone down a half kg without any exercise and regular diet. The package is great and I love the chocolate flavor. It tastes better than any other meal replacements. The drink is hearty. I will definitely order more packs of this flavor. I have not yet tasted the others.
Very sweet

I like every aspect of this product except for the taste. It's VERY sweet. Granted, I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but for me this is almost unbearably sweet. I will continue using it, though, because it fills me up and I like that it provides me with a good amount of protein. I recommend it to people who like sweet things!
Really works to keep you full and curb cravings!

I have tried other meal replacements and this is the best by far! And the price is fantastic, not to mention the taste! DELICIOUS!! I have mine with half water and half skim milk. Tastes like a milkshake and true chocolate taste, not artificial! The reason why I started to take this was to keep my appetite down, and this really does. I don't feel hungry for 3~4 hours! I've lost about 2lbs a week by still eating two healthy meals a day and having a shake or two when I get hungry. It's stopped my night snacking and mid afternoon snacking when I need a sweet fix!
Easy to mix with good taste

I worked at Fulton County Superior CourtPros
Work hours, major holidays off, excellent benefits; earning sick, vacation and compensatory leave; participation in community activities representing department and the county; employee orientation mandatory to learn county written policies and personnel policy. Great pension plans and benefits upon retirement.Cons
The last year I worked there I had not received a raise in over five years. County is very political when approving increases to department budget especially requests for new positions and upgrading departments technology. County is not concerned about low salaries and morale of employees. All department heads and elected officials need minimum of bachelor degree and ongoing training in management and personnel issues. Department heads, management and supervisors need to be more involved and aware of operational and human resources issues. Finally, county needs to reduce number of legal cases they lose and the millions of taxpayers dollars wasted.Advice to ManagementAdvice
See above in Cons Response. Executive and upper/middle management need attitude change and change in overall culture of intimidation and fear and favoritism shown to certain departments.

6:00a.m. Half Marathon Start
Start - Platt St. & Bayshore Boulevard
2015 Publix Gasparilla Half Marathon Start Staging will be based on the registered participant's Projected Finish Time that was provided with registration. There will be two Start Staging Areas:
Seeded men & women (green/yellow) only will access the Half Marathon starts from the front and should utilize the seeded/elite entrance located adjacent to the start platform on the north side of Platt Street.
For access to the Half Marathon Seeded Start Area, a written results verification is required that one of the following has been accomplished:
Seeded Number Requirements for Men:
Seeded Number Requirements for Women:
PLEASE NOTE: Walkers are welcome in the Publix Gasparilla Half Marathon, but because of road closure permits, a 16-minute per mile pace must be maintained for the first five miles (Davis Islands portion of course). Those not able to complete the first five miles by 7:20 a.m. (1:20) will be moved to the Davis Islands sidewalk until they reach Bayshore Blvd., at which time, they will be moved back on to the road for the remainder of their Half Marathon.
As of today, the Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic Race Weekend Events that will take place this Saturday and Sunday mornings, have a record number of entries — 30,300. In 2014, participation numbers totaled 29,912.
As a result, the 15K, 8K and Half Marathon are Sold Out. Just under 1,000 5K entries still remain for the Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic 5K Run, 5K Walk and 5K Stroller Roll.
These remaining 5K entries will go on sale when the event's 8 On Your Side Health & Fitness Expo opens Friday at 10 a.m. in the East Hall of the Tampa Convention Center. 5K Late Entry Fees will be $40 and will only be available until 8 p.m. on Friday evening. There will be no Race Day Registration on Saturday, February 21.
Online registration will remain open until Sunday, February 15, 2015, but beginning Saturday, January 10, 2015, the cost of Half Marathon registration will be according to the Late Registration Online Registration Fees ($95 – Half Marathon).
PLEASE NOTE: There will be no Race Day registration for the 2015 Publix Gasparilla Half Marathon.
Publix Gasparilla Half Marathon Shirt & Race Number Pick-Up will take place during the 8 On Your Side Health & Fitness Expo being held in the Tampa Convention Center – East Hall on Friday, February 20, 10 a.m. – 8 p.m., and on Saturday, February 21, beginning at 9:30 a.m. (following Start of 5K) and until 5 p.m.
For late out-of-town arrivals ONLY, there will be very limited Packet Pick-Up on Race Day, Sunday, February 22. Requests for Race Day Packet Pick-up must be made in writing and no later than Sunday, February 15, 2015. To request Race Day Packet Pick-up, please send an email to email@example.com.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are not able to attend the Expo and pick-up your Race Number, a Race Number Pick-Up Authorization Form must be completed, signed and presented by whomever WILL be picking up for you. A downloadable version of the Authorization Form can be found below.
The Gasparilla Distance Classic Association is once again proud to lead the pack in offering to its runners and walkers the latest in timing technology. In 2015, race participants will be timed utilizing the ChronoTrack B-Tag Timing System, developed and designed with RFID – radio frequency identification. Much like the ChampionChip Timing System when it was introduced, the ChronoTrack B-Tag Timing System will dramatically improve overall efficiency and the participant's experience.
Here's how it works. The technology is woven into a tag that will be placed on the back of each runner's bib/race number. That's all there is to it. The runner will not be required to affix the Timing Tag to their shoe.
In preparation for the Official Results, transponder pads at the Start, Finish and along the race course will record the participant's time. Post-Race, each participant will receive both their Start Time and Chip Time, as well as any splits that were recorded.
PLEASE NOTE – If you intend to run the Publix Gasparilla Half Marathon AND Publix Gasparilla 8K on Sunday, February 22, 2015, you must register and complete an Entry Form for both events. Unless you are running the Michelob Ultra Challenge, you will be issued a Half Marathon Race Number AND a 8K Race Number.
When running the Half Marathon, you MUST wear your assigned Half Marathon Race Number ONLY. Do not wear or carry your 8K Race Number during your Half Marathon. Before starting the 8K, YOU MUST remove your Half Marathon Race Number and replace with the 8K Race Number.
Because of the sensitivity of the Chrono Track Timing Device, wearing or carrying your 8K Race Number during the Half Marathon OR wearing or carrying your Half Marathon Race Number during the 8K, could impact your Race Results.

Arugula Salad Recipe
Anybody can open a bag of greens and pour dressing on it. That's not special. Try my simple arugula salad recipe instead. It's an event!
You can find bresaola (thinly sliced air-dried beef) at gourmet or higher-end food stores, either in packages or from the deli.
(Serves 4)
-8 cups arugula, well washed
-Salt and pepper, to taste
-4 ounces fresh Parmesan
-3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts (see page 29 for toasting directions)
-Juice of 1 lemon, freshly squeezed
-1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
-1 tablespoon truffle oil (optional)
-4 to 8 ounces bresaola (optional)
1. Arrange the arugula on a platter. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the fresh Parmigiano on top of the arugula. Spring with pine nuts.
3. Drizzle the salad with lemon juice, then olive oil, then truffle oil, if you are using it. You don't need much oil on this salad, because arugula has such high flavor.
4. If you are using the bresaola, arrange the slices around the edges of the platter.

Enjoyed "Five Year Engagement"
chisueOctober 14, 2012
This was our teatime matinee yesterday. A tad long, but it had lots of laughs -- and some life lessons. It's hard to believe people the ages of the engaged couple could be this immature, but after all, it's a movie!
I thought it was okay...nothing I want to see again, but not nearly as bad as the critics made it sound.
I just watched a rental of Snow White and the Huntsman. Very interesting special effects and I liked Charlize Theron's portrayal of the evil queen. I haven't seen any of the Twilight movies so I had not seen Kristen Stewart before. She had very few lines for being such a major character in the film.

Historical Traveler Reviews BEST WESTERN Eviston House Hotel Killarney
Thanks eviston house great stay
just returned from a three night stay at the eviston house
we stayed in the new wing every thing was brand new very comfortable and clean.
we found the food good dinner and breakfast good portions and choice.
staff very attentive and friendly would reccomend to any one.
good loaction for the ring of kerry and evening entertainment.
Lively Place
October 22nd 2006.
If you want all of the expected things Irish on your holiday, then stay at this hotel, as long as you are prepared to share them with hundreds of other tourists, especially Americans. The hotel offers traditional entertainment nightly and is right in the heart of Killarney - step out of the lobby onto the main street and you have all the bars shops and restaurants you could wish for. The hotel gave us a room in the newest part of the building and we had total silence and peace in a very well appointed and comfortable room. The food was excellent and the staff were very good. We would certainly stay again.
This place is a disaster!
We were on a tour group through Brian Moore Tours. This two day stop was not a pleasant experience. First of all, the hotel is a fire trap. Second, the service is not at all good. We were quite disappointed by the hotel personnel such as the front staff who were rude, the wait staff who did not have any idea about the items on the menu and had no desire to have an English speaking person come to our aid, the breakfasts were fine but there was not enough wait staff and many of our group went without the warm breakfast, extra coffee, warm toast, etc. The poor bellmen were frantic in the morning getting the luggage (there was not enough help). We were very happy to leave this hotel.
What an ideal spot!
This little hotel in the middle of Killarney suited us perfectly. They were efficient, friendly and very pleasant. Our rooms were big with nice bathrooms [with tubs!], so that made all the difference. Despite the fact we were on a main street, the nights were quiet and peaceful. It was central to everything and the pubs and shops all around were wonderful. We were around the corner from the Tourist Information office and the people in there were just lovely. They booked us on a Ring of Kerry tour only 1/2 hour prior to it leaving. [It's a must do!]The bar downstairs is supposed to be great with Irish music and such, but the time of year we were there left a bit to be desired. Head down the street to the Grand for some pub fun and great music!
Pleasant hotel
This is a good quality tourist hotel. Everything was clean and functional but not luxurious. The breakfast was good but there was no variation over the 3 nights that we stayed there. Still, the staff was attentive and clearly wanted to make sure that our stay was pleasant. The location is outstanding; Killarney is a small town and the hotel was in the center of things. This is a great town for shopping.
Would stay here again
We only stayed one night in this wonderful little town, but found the Eviston a nice place to stay. It is in a great location, the rooms were clean, and the staff was very friendly. Our room had no air conditioning, so it did get a little hot and stuffy, even with the open window. Other than that, I had no complaints and would definitely stay again.
Recommend without hesitation
The Eviston House was the second hotel we stayed at on our tour of Ireland. The hotel has a great location right in the center of town. The Danny Mann pub had great Irish music every night and the staff at the hotel couldn't do enough for us. Another hotel that I highly recommend.
Highlight of our trip to Ireland
We have just returned from our stay at the Eviston House hotel, I have to say having traveled around Ireland over 2 weeks this was definately the best place. The town of Killarney itself is stunning, with the national park just a short walk from the hotel. There is just so much to do in this lovely area and this hotel was the perfect base. Its sitauted in the town centre so no need for a car and we were able to book the day tour to go on the Ring of Kerry. The people of Killarney are very warm and welcoming to visitors. We stayed 3 nights and did so much in that short time, we will def go back to see more.
The hotel bar The Danny Mann had music each evening, though we found it a bit quiet, maybe cause the tourist season was only just starting and it is a very spacious bar, it can be cold too, though there was always a fire lighting, guess cause of its size. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated.We had breakfast in the restaurant each morning which was always served by a smile.
We had the pleasure of getting loads of information from the receptionist who was from the local area and kindly pointed out what to do and see. so no time on wasted trying to figure the best places to see. She also recommended dinner in Treyvauds and Flesk. The food was superb in both places highly recommended.
We thouroughly enjoyed our stay in Killarney and in The Eviston House Hotel. The staff were very friendly and eager to help. Couldnt fault the service in the restaurant and from receptionist.
Great time at the Eviston
Stayed at the Eviston October 28-31, 2003. Good price, great location and good food but the Irish music in the 'Danny Mann Pub' was the highlight of our trip. Staff very friendly. Definitely recomended.
Looking forward to going back
The Eviston hotel is in an excellent location in the centre of Killarney, just around the corner from the Tourist Office and a short walk from both the Train and Bus Stations. Rooms are good, food excellent, and the Danny Mann pub in the hotel has excellent Irish Music every night. My recent trip to Killarney was my first in over 25 years and I found many improvements and the boat trip on the Lily of KillarneyWatercoach was great value for money and the guide was top class. O'Connors coaches offer excellent tours of the Ring of Kerry and Gap of Dunloe. I hope to go back shortly and I will would have no hesutation in recommending the Eviston Hotel.

Ian Kennedy Rumors
Angels Trying To Deal For Kennedy, Street
The Angels are trying to acquire starting pitcher Ian Kennedy and closer Huston Street from the Padres, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports writes. The two teams have discussed a possible deal for Street, but not yet for Kennedy.
Acquiring both players will be tricky for the Angels, Rosenthal suggests, because the Padres control both Kennedy and Street through 2015. They are more inclined to trade players who are eligible for free agency after the season, like Chase Headley and Chris Denorfia. Another potential obstacle is that the Padres' ownership might hope to quickly build a competitive team — the recent signing of Seth Smith to a two-year extension suggests that the Padres do not wish to rebuild for long. They could potentially trade Headley and Denorfia, but keep Kennedy and Street for next season.
The Padres might acquire Triple-A second baseman Taylor Lindsey in a deal for Kennedy and Street, Rosenthal writes. The Angels do not have a strong farm system, so it might be tough for them to assemble the talent needed to swing a big trade, at least not without dealing big-league players of their own.

Padres Notes: Kennedy, Street, Management
Here's the latest from San Diego…
- Ian Kennedy is perhaps the Padres' biggest trade chip, yet the team isn't eager to deal the right-hander, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune writes. Kennedy has pitched well (3.72 ERA, 3.19 K/BB, 9.3 K/9 in 181 2/3 IP) since coming to the Friars last season and the club still has him under control through the 2015 campaign. "Unless an offer blows them away, the Padres' owners, eager to contend, may be compensating Kennedy handsomely in 2015," Lin notes, as Kennedy has one more season of arbitration eligibility remaining and will earn a nice raise over his current $6.1MM salary. FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported yesterday that the Orioles had been scouting Kennedy.
- "I've allowed myself to be open to whatever happens, happens. Last year I definitely did not want to be traded. Now, my plan is to play for whatever uniform they put me in," Huston Street tells Yahoo Sports' Tim Brown. Street's excellent season has drawn some trade attention from other clubs, and while the closer noted that he likes San Diego and believes the team can still be competitive, "I lean heavily toward the want-to-win side of the equation."
- Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune answers questions about the trade deadline, the Padres' GM search and several other topics as part of an online chat with fans.

Rosenthal's Latest: Angels, Orioles, Reds, Indians
In his latest video, Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports says it would be "just like" Angels owner Arte Moreno to acquire David Price. Since L.A. lacks a prospect of Addison Russell's quality, they will need to trade somebody off their major league roster. Rosenthal mentions C.J. Cron and Tyler Skaggs as likely suspects, but he suggests that price may be too steep for the contending Angels. Here's more from Rosenthal.
- If the Angels do fall short on Price, they could turn their attention to acquiring a reliever like Rangers closer Joakim Soria.
- The Orioles would like to add a left-handed bat. Seth Smith was on the radar before he signed his extension with the Padres. The O's are scouting pitchers like Jorge De La Rosa and Ian Kennedy. They could also target relievers.
- Reds GM Walt Jocketty expects to miss Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips for five to six weeks. Cincinnati would like to add a first baseman and somebody to split time with Ramon Santiago at second base. Unfortunately, the club's record $112MM payroll will force Jocketty to get creative with any additions.
- It's unclear whether the Indians will buy or sell at the trade deadline. Even if they do find themselves as sellers, they aren't likely to aggressively shop pieces besides shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera. Rosenthal offers the Mariners as one team who could benefit from the switch-hitting shortstop.

Padres Could Make Organizational Changes Soon
The Padres are currently 10 games below .500 and 14.5 games behind in the NL West despite a pitching staff that ranks eighth in the Majors in ERA, and ownership is losing patience with the club, according to multiple reports. In an appearance with Darren Smith of Mighty 1090 radio in San Diego yesterday (audio link), Padres CEO Mike Dee said called the team's current standing "unacceptable." Dee notes that as an organization, "we're all accountable," but he made little effort to hide the fact that changes could be on the horizon.
"I wouldn't be doing my job if I was not looking at everything and everybody in this organization from top to bottom … We increased payroll 25 percent. We got an enormous commitment by ownership to do that, and it's not getting done. And when it's not getting done, everybody and everything gets put under the microscope, and if changes are appropriate, changes will be made."
While Dee declined to "put a shot clock" on when moves will be made (if at all), he went on to say, "Stay tuned. If it doesn't turn around, invariably, we're going to have to make some tough decisions." Specifically, he was critical of the team's offensive struggles. When asked if manager Bud Black was getting the most out of the roster, Dee replied by saying that even Black himself would answer "no" to that question, though he declined to place any significant amount of blame on the longtime San Diego skipper, stating "It's not on Buddy, singularly, it's on the organization. All of us are disappointed. All of us are accountable. The fanbase deserves more."
This morning, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports exchanged emails with chairman Ron Fowler, who told him:
"At this time, we will not be discussing our situation with any parties outside of our senior management circle. That said, we are terribly disappointed in the team's offense this year and staying the course (waiting for a turnaround) is becoming less appealing as the ugly losses continue."
Rosenthal speculates that hitting coach Phil Plantier might be the one who is in the most immediate danger. The Padres are, after all, last in the Majors in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage, having batted just .216/.275/.344 as a team. Petco Park's pitcher-friendly setting can't even be blamed, as the Padres rank last in the Majors with a wRC+ of just 75, and that stat is both park- and league-adjusted. (In other words, Padres hitters have been, as a whole, 25 percent less effective than a league-average hitter, even when adjusting their hitting to account for a pitcher-friendly environment.)
Rosenthal points back to an article from the San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee last month, in which Acee suggested that ownership was becoming impatient with Black. Within that piece, Acee noted that while the lack of offense isn't necessarily Black's fault, it is his problem. He went on to write that if the team doesn't look better by season's end, GM Josh Byrnes would also be a candidate to be replaced.
Rosenthal writes that Black is still among the game's most respected managers when talking to rival executives, and he could land another managerial job in short order were he to be dismissed in San Diego. Beyond that, Rosenthal writes that roster changes could be on the horizon as well, noting that the team is expected to move multiple veteran pieces prior to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. He lists Seth Smith, Huston Street, Ian Kennedy and Chris Denorfia as candidates to be shipped out.

Padres Avoid Arbitration With Kennedy, Cabrera, Ross
10:11pm: The Padres have also avoided arbitration with Everth Cabrera, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Cabrera, also a Boras client, will receive a $2.45MM salary in 2014.
Cabrera, 27, came within nine steals of leading the National League despite playing just 95 games due to a PED-related suspension. The switch-hitter batted .283/.355/.381 in 435 plate appearances. Over the past two seasons, only Mike Trout and Rajai Davis have stolen more bases than the 81 tallied by Cabrera. He topped Swartz's projection by $250K.
In more Padres-related arb news, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that Tyson Ross has avoided arbitration by agreeing to a $1.98MM salary (Twitter link). Ross broke out with the Padres in 2013, posting a 3.17 ERA in a career-high 125 innings. The 26-year-old saw his fastball velocity jump nearly two miles per hour, as he averaged 94.2 mph on his heater. That helped him up his K/9 rate to a career-high 8.6, and he posted career-bests in BB/9 rate (3.2) and ground-ball rate (54.9 percent) as well. Ross' agents at the Wasserman Media Group did well to secure a $1.9MM payday. Swartz had projected a $1.3MM salary.
9:53pm: The Padres and right-hander Ian Kennedy have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $6.1MM contract for the 2014 season, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (Twitter link). Kennedy is a client of the Boras Corporation. MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz had pegged Kennedy to earn $5.8MM.
The 29-year-old Kennedy was acquired from the Diamondbacks in a rare intra-division trade this past July. San Diego sent lefty Joe Thatcher, relief prospect Matt Stites and a 2014 competitve balance draft pick to Arizona in order to land the 2011 Cy Young candidate. Since finishing fourth in that Cy Young voting, however, Kennedy has seen his results tumble, leading to the D-Backs' decision that he was no longer vital to the organization's success.
Over the past two seasons, Kennedy has posted a 4.43 ERA with 8.1 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9. He's also posted a fly-ball rate of just 37.7 percent, indicating that the move to the spacious Petco Park from the cozy Chase Field should be beneficial to him. That wasn't the case in 2013, as Kennedy's HR/9 rate actually increased with the Padres, but that trend doesn't seem likely to continue once the sample size is expanded beyond 57 1/3 innings.
Kennedy will join a crowded rotation mix that also figures to include Josh Johnson, Andrew Cashner, Eric Stults and Tyson Ross with rehabbing starters Cory Luebke and Joe Wieland also in the mix in addition to youngsters Robbie Erlin and Burch Smith.
With the cases of Cabrera, Ross and Kennedy now resolved, Padres GM Josh Byrnes will turn his attention to Cashner, Chase Headley and Kyle Blanks, as can be seen in MLBTR's Arbitration Tracker.

Padres Acquire Ian Kennedy
The Padres have bolstered their rotation for the present and future, acquiring righty Ian Kennedy from the division rival Diamondbacks for lefty reliever Joe Thatcher, Double-A reliever Matt Stites, and a compensation round B draft pick, according to a tweet from MLB.com's Corey Brock. It's a surprisingly light haul for Kennedy, a 28-year-old who is under team control through 2015 as an arbitration eligible player.
Drafted 21st overall by the Yankees in '06, Kennedy joined Arizona in the December 2009 three-team trade with the Yanks and Tigers, at a time when Josh Byrnes was the Diamondbacks' GM. Byrnes was fired the following year and later landed the GM job in San Diego, while Kevin Towers took over for Arizona. Clearly, Byrnes has an affinity for Kennedy, who tossed 624 1/3 regular season innings from 2010-12 with a 3.55 ERA and finished fourth in the NL Cy Young voting back in 2011. Kennedy's walk rate worsened this year, en route to a 5.23 ERA in 124 frames. His skills suggest something closer to 4.00 moving forward. As a fly-ball pitcher, Kennedy will likely benefit tremendously from leaving the hitter-friendly Chase Field to a more pitcher-friendly stadium in Petco Park.
Thatcher is a useful left-handed specialist who joined the Padres in a July 2007 trade brokered by Towers. The 31-year-old has a 2.10 ERA, 8.7 K/9, 1.2 BB/9, 0.90 HR/9, and 42.4% groundball rate in 30 innings this year. He's faced 70 lefty batters and held them to a .212/.257/.231 line. Earning $1.35MM this year, Thatcher is under team control through 2014 as an arbitration eligible player.
Stites, a 23-year-old reliever, has a 2.08 ERA, 8.8 K/9, 1.4 BB/9, and 1.04 HR/9 in 52 Double-A innings this year. Prior to the season Baseball America ranked the 5'11" Stites 27th among Padres prospects.
To clear space on the 40-man roster following the trade, the D'Backs have outrighted Nate Adcock to Triple-A Reno, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic (on Twitter).
The draft pick headed to the D'Backs is San Diego's competitive balance lottery pick, which is the first pick of Comp Round B (between the second and third rounds). As such, it will likely fall in the 70 to 75 range; Comp Round B consisted of picks 69 to 73 in this year's draft. Those picks carried assigned values of between $808K and $759K, according to Baseball America.
Towers and the Diamondbacks clearly thought Kennedy to be expendable with Trevor Cahill and Brandon McCarthy on the mend and Archie Bradley in the minor leagues. Kennedy scored a near-record $4.265MM salary for 2013, his first arbitration year. MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz projects a mild raise to the $5.9MM range for 2014, so there's a financial element to the trade as well. Still, it seems to be an underwhelming return for a pitcher with Kennedy's upside, even in a down season.
As shown in MLBTR's Transaction Tracker, Towers and Byrnes have connected on a pair of past deals for Tony Clark and Scott Hairston back in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Padres Closing In On Trade For Ian Kennedy
28-year-old Diamondbacks righty Ian Kennedy is having an off year, but he is under team control through 2015 as an arbitration eligible player. The latest:
- Double-A reliever Matt Stites is in the Padres' offer for Kennedy, tweets Darren Smith of XX1090.
- The Angels still believe they have a shot at Kennedy, tweets Ken Rosenthal. Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic says the D'Backs and Padres are closing in on a Kennedy trade, however. The D'Backs would get Thatcher and two minor leaguers, notes Miller.
- The Padres are getting closer to a deal for Kennedy, tweets Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
Earlier Updates
- There are legs to the Kennedy to San Diego rumors, tweets Yahoo's Jeff Passan, who says Thatcher would be one of the players going to Arizona. The Padres are in active discussions to acquire Kennedy, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Speaking on 620 KTAR today, D'Backs GM Kevin Towers said, "I'm fairly confident that there will be some trade news involving the Diamondbacks probably by the end of the day."
- Kennedy to the Padres "could happen," hears Danny Knobler of CBS Sports.
- The D'Backs could move Kennedy as a way to improve the back end of their bullpen, writes Scott Miller of CBS Sports. They've inquired with the Padres on Luke Gregerson and Joe Thatcher.

Red Sox Close To Acquiring Jake Peavy
Jake Peavy was scheduled to start for the White Sox in Cleveland tonight at 6:05pm central time, but the Sox will instead make history by promoting the Majors' first Brazilian native pitcher, Andre Rienzo, according to Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune. Meanwhile, GM Rick Hahn will be entertaining offers for Peavy, according to Gonzales. Gonzales notes that even if Peavy is not traded, the Sox will "get a chance to evaluate Rienzo on the major league stage." Peavy is definitely not starting for the White Sox tonight, confirms Scott Miller of CBS Sports. The latest:
- The two sides are exchanging medical records according to Olney, and a deal is close, reports Rosenthal.
- The Red Sox are in serious talks for Peavy, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (on Twitter).
- ESPN's Buster Olney tweets that the Red Sox and White Sox are discussing Peavy, and the trade talks "have legs."
- Earlier, Jim Bowden of ESPN and MLB Network Radio reported that the Red Sox are no longer pursuing Cliff Lee. It seems as if their focus has shifted to Peavy.
Earlier Updates
- The Diamondbacks don't necessarily have to unload multiple contracts to fit Peavy into the payroll, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. However, they're still looking at moving Ian Kennedy, who could draw interest from the Angels, given the fact that Angels GM Jerry Dipoto is a former D'Backs executive.
- Despite interest from the Red Sox, A's, D'Backs, and Cardinals, the sense is the White Sox are coming down on their asking price for Peavy, tweets Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com.
- Arizona would be a comfortable destination for Peavy, the righty told reporters including Mark Gonzales today.
- If the A's are to make a deal for Peavy, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle sees outfielder Michael Choice as the potential centerpiece. Otherwise, they could add a reliever. GM Billy Beane says this is the "lowest trade inventory I've seen in years."
- The D'Backs have emerged as the front runner for Peavy, tweets Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com.
- The Diamondbacks could make a deal for Peavy if they get a cash adjustment, tweets ESPN's Buster Olney, who notes the strong history with Peavy and GM Kevin Towers.
- The D'Backs may kick the tires again on Peavy, hears Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The White Sox are now listing Peavy for tomorrow's start against the Indians, for what it's worth.
- The price for Peavy remains a top 50 prospect in a three or four-player package, hears Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Sherman does believe Peavy will be traded, ranking the most likely landing spots as the Cardinals, Red Sox, and A's.
- There are no current discussions between the Cardinals and White Sox on Peavy, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. And the D'Backs say they no longer have interest in Peavy with Brandon McCarthy and Trevor Cahill soon returning, adds Bob Nightengale of USA Today.
- Yesterday, we heard the White Sox were trying to move Peavy prior to tonight's start. However, the market for the righty's services became muddled as the Athletics seemingly moved on and the Sox started telling teams they plan to keep Peavy. Their decision not to start him tonight seems to indicate otherwise.

White Sox, D'Backs, Angels Discussing Three-Team Trade
The White Sox, Angels and Diamondbacks are discussing a three-team trade that would send Jake Peavy to Arizona and Ian Kennedy to Anaheim, according to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick (on Twitter). The Diamondbacks reportedly emerged as the front-runners for Peavy earlier today, and the Angels have been connected to Kennedy as well. Crasnick notes that it's not clear what Chicago would receive in the trade at this time.
Peavy is earning $14.5MM in 2013 and 2014, while Kennedy has about $1.4MM remaining on this year's $4.27MM salary and is controllable through 2015 via arbitration. The D'Backs have been prioritizing pitching help, reportedly kicking the tires on Bud Norris in addition to Peavy. The Angels, meanwhile, view Kennedy as a buy-low candidate that they can control for multiple years, according to reports from earlier today. The White Sox scratched Peavy from his scheduled start tonight earlier today in order to eliminate the risk of an injury that would take a trade off the table.

Angels, Padres Eyeing Ian Kennedy
5:53pm: Arizona's main motivation in moving Kennedy would be to free up some cash to accommodate Jake Peavy's contract, writes Danny Knobler of CBS Sports (which meshes with reports from earlier today). Jack Magruder of FOX Sports Arizona was told by an Angels source that there's no match for Kennedy a few days ago, though he notes how quickly that line of thinking can change (Twitter link).
MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez spoke with a scout from an NL West team who said that Kennedy's stuff is still good. The Halos like Kennedy as a buy-low candidate, according to Gonzalez.
It seems odd that the Diamondbacks would be motivated to move Kennedy's remaining $1.4MM, though they could be focusing more on ways to fit Peavy's 2014 salary into the payroll. Despite his poor season, Kennedy would earn a raise on his $4.27MM salary next year, so clearing him from the books would be a more significant benefit in that sense. Arizona is also reportedly shopping Jason Kubel, who is owed roughly $2.7MM for the remainder of the season.
4:49pm: Earlier today, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports wrote that the Angels could be interested in landing D'Backs right-hander Ian Kennedy, as Halos GM Jerry Dipoto is a former Diamondbacks executive who is very familiar with Kennedy. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports now tweets that the Angels are "hopeful" of landing Kennedy, whom the D'Backs have been shopping recently. Steve Gilbert of MLB.com adds that the Padres are also interested in Kennedy (Twitter link), and Buster Olney of ESPN lists the Cubs as a potential landing place as well (on Twitter).
Kennedy, 28, is a buy-low candidate in the midst of his worst full season at the Major League level. Through 119 innings for the D'Backs, he has a 5.22 ERA with 7.6 K/9, 3.4 BB/9 and a 36.2 percent ground-ball rate. Each of those represents the worst full-season mark of Kennedy's career. Kennedy is owed roughly $1.4MM over the remainder of the season and can be controlled through 2015 as an arbitration-eligible player.

'Men in Black 4' in Development at Sony
Oren Uziel will first write the "21 Jump Street" sequel then tackle "MiB 4."
Sony is throwing another Men in Black into development, hiring Oren Uziel to pen a draft.
At the same time, Uziel also has been tapped to work on the sequel to 21 Jump Street.
Men in Black 4 is in the early stages of development, and it is unclear to what extent franchise star Will Smith is involved at this point, though clearly there is interest to capitalize on last year's movie. MiB 3 grossed a franchise-best $624 million and received warm reviews, after the bloated mess of Men in Black 2.
PHOTOS: 'Men in Black 3' and 17 Movies With Different Actors in the Same Role
There are no deals for Josh Brolin or Emma Thompson to return, and the movie series is expensive to make for the studio because of backend participation deals with such players as Smith, director Barry Sonnenfeld and executive producer Steven Spielberg.
Uziel will tackle Men in Black 4 after he works on 21 Jump Street 2, which Sony already has dated for a June 6, 2014, release. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are back as stars as are Phil Lord and Chris Miller as directors.
Sony didn't comment on loglines, but it is expected that the Jump Street plot will see the doofus undercover cops in a college setting rather than a high school setting. Hill and Michael Bacall wrote the initial draft for the new movie.
The double deal solidifies Uziel's standing at the studio, which is making is genre mash-up Kitchen Sink, a sci-fi/horror comedy that was a Black List script.

Bill KellerMr. Colton is not the first to undertake Yeltsin's redemption. Leon Aron's Yeltsin: A Revolutionary Life took up the case for Yeltsin in 2000, as his presidency was petering out, and his popularity was at a low ebb. But Mr. Colton has used the extra time to excellent effect. He has mined declassified Kremlin transcripts; fact-checked many memoirs; conducted extensive interviews with participants, including Yeltsin, shortly before his death last year; and synthesized a story that anyone curious about contemporary Russia will find illuminating. And though this is densely researched scholarship, Mr. Colton writes a fluid narrative that only occasionally wanders into the briar patch of academic-speak.

My situation is pretty shaky. I've been renting the last 8 or so years, at this house for 4. My landlord recently decided they want to sell the house, and have been pretty sneaky about it. They want us to buy it, but no way, not with the cost to repair everything, but that is another story.
So I've been looking at rentals, and they are getting more and more expensive. My husband and I really want to buy our own home, its been a dream of ours for such a long time. He was in a car accident that put those dreams on hold, and we just never thought it would be possible for us until with spoke with a loan officer. She told me its not as bad as I thought. We don't have bad credit, we just don't have credit. I can use alternative means of showing I'd be able and willing to repay a home loan.
So our income qualifies. My DTI ration is below the requirement.
I've got no debt, no credit cards (obviously), car is paid for, no medical bills. Nothing, other than my rent, utilities, phone, insurance and cable.
The only thing on either of our credit history is the last of the medical bills paid off in 2006, they will come off my husbands report in March of next year.
All of my bills are pristine, I pay on time every month. With the exception of the utility bill where I had to make one payment arrangement and accidentally paid them too much money and now I have a really cheap bill this month. However it was not late, it was taken care of as agreed.
My husband has been working in the same industry for 10 years, same place for a year, and before that he worked at another place for a year and half. Otherwise it was one company for seven and half years. Again, same industry, just different company.
I'm just really nervous about this, I really don't want to rent anymore. I haven't seen a whole lot of info on people using alternative credit history.
So here is my question, is there anything that anyone can see that would get me denied seeing as how they're willing to use alternative means of credit?
I had to use my Electric Bill as an alternative line of Credit. It also depends what the middle score requirements are.
Spend the time speaking to a few lenders and or brokers in your area. Do not give them any personal information to start an application. Just be honest with them and tell them you are seeking information and what in there professional opinion do they feel is needed for approval.
If they do not have the time or feel like you are not worth there time (you can tell by responses and attitude) then you do not want to do business with them anyway especially purchasing a home. Do your homework and the process shouldnt be as hard as it seems.
Good Luck......

Verizon DROID Turbo details get leaked, Moto S cover appears
The new Moto X may have just gone live, but Verizon subscribers might soon have a few more options to choose from, or to confuse them a wee bit. Leaked photos and specs hint at the coming of another DROID for Verizon, dubbed the DROID Turbo, with a curious mix of specs. Plus another part of the Moto S leaks out, this time the back cover instead of the front.

Clayton Patterson, artist, photographer, writer, and community activist, and friend of mine, sent me the following email:
"On Ludlow- between Stanton and Rivington was arrested for taking photographs. The problem has more to do with police procedure on the street. On this day the street was not a frozen zone. People were allowed to walk through. Kids were hanging out. There was not a police-line. There was not even a fire, just a little smoke." Is New York City becoming a police state?

Documentarian is detained on street he's shot for years
By Lincoln Anderson
After doggedly trying to document firefighters responding to an alarm on Ludlow St. last Thursday afternoon, Lower East Side documentarian Clayton Patterson found himself handcuffed and spending a couple of hours in a Seventh Precinct cell after having repeatedly refused orders to keep his distance.
Patterson said he was only trying to get a good shot, and that it turned out to be nothing major, anyway, "just smoke in someone's kitchen." The arresting police officer, an Officer Lugo, told him he needed a press pass.
"I documented that block for 30 years and never had a problem," Patterson said speaking days after his release. "It's important that people document what's going on," he said, adding that Ludlow St. recently has been plagued by serious traffic problems due to all the ongoing construction.
Patterson, who filmed one of only two major videotape accounts of the first Tompkins Square Park riots, went to jail for 10 days in 1988 for refusing to give police the original copy of that tape.
"It's ironic," he said. "Here it is 20 years later, and I'm doing the same thing I've been doing for more than 20 years — and I get thrown in jail for it." Patterson said he's been arrested a total of 14 times for videoing or photographing in defiance of police orders to back away, though it hadn't happened for several years before last week.
"For a few years after the riots, it was quite common to get arrested," he said. "That tape got a lot of cops criminally indicted and fired." Patterson said he's not about to change his approach now. "You have a right to be out there photographing and taping what's going on in your community," he stated.
Patterson's Lower East Side archive now stands, by his estimate, at "probably over 1 million photographs and over several thousand hours of video." He is also completing editing his third book on the Lower East Side, this one on the subject of the neighborhood's leading Jewish figures.
"It'll probably be called 'Jews: A People's History of the Lower East Side,'" Patterson said. The three-volume tome will clock in at 2,500 pages and 150 articles.
"The archive is real, the books are real, what I'm doing is real," Patterson said. "It's not just some jerk on the street taking pictures and getting in people's way. This archive on the Lower East Side is the largest archive on the Lower East Side ever assembled by one person," he said, likening the impact of his work to that of Jacob Riis.
Patterson noted that Susan Stetzer, Community Board 3's district manager, has used his photos of Ludlow St. traffic to show city officials the situation's seriousness.
"We have been having problems on Ludlow because of the multiple construction sites," Stetzer said. She confirmed that she sent Patterson's Ludlow St. photos to the Department of Transportation's and Department of Buildings' borough commissioners "to show the severity of the problem — and it helped tremendously. I give Clayton's photos of these accidents a great deal of credit in helping me make agencies aware of the problem and I have told this to Clayton and thanked him for his help," she said.
"This is a very painful situation," Stetzer said. "Clayton and I are often at sites in the district together — while I am working on problems and he is documenting. We share a great love for our community — and I think his work is valuable. I also work very, very closely with the Seventh Precinct. This is a very upsetting situation."

See The Villager article (posted above). I asked him again about what happened and he said the police asked him to stop taking photographs but since he wasn't in the way of any firefighting activity and the street wasn't closed off at all, he continued to take photographs. There's no law against taking photographs of activities occurring during a fire anyway. People DO get arrested all the time for doing things that are NOT illegal. Perhaps the charges will be dropped eventually but meanwhile Patterson was arrested for something that is our right as citizens. He's not the type to withhold any information. I know Clayton well. He can be a bit grouchy but he's not a liar.
People do get arrested for taking pictures. You must not look at the news. Try being aware of the current events in your nation before making silly statements like that.
From the looks of the photo, those cops need to lay offf of the donuts and pizza and spent more time at the gym.
You have a good point, Iowapix, but then again, I think Clayton needs to lay off the donuts and pizza, too (and he'd be the first to admit it).
As for v1rotate's comment, I strongly agree with Sharpshoota.com. And as a matter of fact, check out this piece in The Gothamist where they cite other examples of photographers being arrested by the government. As fellow photographers, we must protest this violation of civil liberty. It could happen to YOU.
Stand your ground and fight the fight for all photographers.
And v1rotate, are you serious? No one gets arrested for taking pictures? I'm sure no one gets harassed for it either. Do you read the articles or the websites documenting the dozens (probably hundreds) of cases where photographers are harassed or arrested? For PHOTOGRAPHY??
Look I just think the title is misleading I mean he could have avoided being arrested simply not that I'm saying he should. Its not like he was just walking and snapping and he got hauled in. He was standing taking pixs of the fire scene. It depends though If he was really in the way or if this is just some ridiculous rule. Either way though this shouldn't be such a heated argument.
I just read some of the article and its true that he wasn't in the way so in the words of sharpshoota "sue those pigs!" even though I stand by my first comment about the title
Well the police are never known for being the smartest card in the deck. Most of the cops I have seen in the USA are poorly trained, fat, and seem more keen on eating. But then again if you pay peanuts you get...
Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Mondo New York, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
This has nothing to do with cops being smart or dumb, this is their training in practice. Crush free speech, confiscate street book sellers merchandise, rip the film out of a citizen's camera, then if you sue say oops and pay out your lawsuit with public funds.
what strange case this is
that's not right. freedom of press yes?
Freedom for the Press that lies in your face, handcuffs for Clayton.
people need to respect the penners and snappers

fuck the police. they are STILL pissed off at Clayton resisting the police (by shooting video of rioting cops) 20 years ago during the infamous Tompkins Square Park Police Riot of August 2008.
Yeah, could be. Clayton is a fighter. How could they still hold the video against him? He's recording what happened and those guys back then are a lot older now!
Sue for official oppression. Official oppression happens when you're arrested for no legal reason except to influence you to stop doing some behavior someone doesn't like. I have a friend who is a private detective who was arrested when he was on legal surveillance and the officer told him "you might beat the rap, but you won't beat the ride". He sued for official oppression and won.
Excellent photo and we'd love to have it added to: "Global Photojournalism; Politics, News, Protest, and Society" www.flickr.com/groups/1467908@N22/ and any additional photos that fit the description of our group.
NYPD are neanderthals:
