Dave Kusworth is one of the best hidden gems of rock & roll. With a long career on his back (Jacobites, Bounty Hunters, Tenderhooks, Dogs D'Amour) and a bunch of amazing solo albums, "the Birmingham kid" is still on the road. Recorded entirely during his last tours in Spain with the support of his good friends Los Tupper. You'll find a tasteful manifest along the grooves of "Throwing Rocks in Heaven". Dave takes out of his pocket (besides a rocket) a collection of songs that travel from idyllic landscapes to the darkest alleys. From the more excited Stones to a heartbroken J.Thunders. Slaps of reality looking artificial paradises, drowning for the last time at the bottom of a bottle. Take care and take a look at the sky because it might rain down rocks.

"Hey Chica!!" is the first Sonic Trash album, the new adventure of David
Hono after four albums and several years on the road with his former band Ya te
An impressive declaration of principles with the scent of the 90's best
sounds. They remind us to bands like Screaming Trees, Afghan Whigs or Jane's Addiction
although not forgetting other classics like the Velvet Underground or the Stooges.
The band show us all their cards in "Hey Chica!!" where they mix English and Spanish in
the lyrics, creating a varied and homogeneous concept. Sharp-edged riffs, acid
lyrics and crazy rythms are their credentials. Soldiers of gaupasa waiting in the
trenches. We hope you enjoy it, cabronazos.

JACOBITES "THE OTTER SONG / APARTMENT TO COMPARTMENT" 7"single (2011)(STR-008)
Nikki Sudden and Dave Kusworth, or what is the same, the Jacobites, were formed in the early 80's as one of the most special and essential bands that arose from the underground British scene. Sunthunder Records is proud to be part of the small velvet universe contained in this 7", which contains two unreleased songs by Sudden & Kusworth.
On one side we have a tune that Nikki recorded in 2003 with his friend Joey Skidmore and other French artists. "The Otter Song" keeps the intensity of the greatest Sudden moments, with a remarkable John Rivers as engineer/producer for most of the discography by this Birmingham lot.
So what's on the other side? Dave Kusworth's "Apartment to compartment", an early-day classic on the Jacobites set list, a Rock & Roll smack in the purest Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street" style Recorded in Spain with Los Tupper, a Spanish support band that fits the Jacobite sound like a glove.
"Love stories failed and consumed in full ashtrays, shattered dreams as the last bottle of Chardonnay crashes against the ground while the light of a new morning comes through the curtains amongst a sweet hangover".

"Ruins" (a collection of rarities, b-sides & outtakes): Altough the name Kevin Junior may not yet be the household name it deserves to be, anyone seriously into the best American indie bands of the last ten years will surely get excited if you name them The Chamber Strings. As it is the band was formed in 1997 by Kevin (singer/songwriter/guitarist, a native of Akron, Ohio) in Chicago. But Kevin has quite a long career behind him, and "Ruins" traces an alternative story through its 19 rare or unissued tracks recorded by Kevin under different guises in the last 20 years: The Mystery Girls (1986-1992), The Rosehips (1992-1996) and The Chamber Strings (1997- present time) and on his own. Kevin has opened up his vaults to reevalute his long career, and the result is a collection that will serve both the long standing fans, who will find plenty to rejoice in, and the newcomers who will discover the amazing talent of one Kevin Junior.

For his first offence, some years ago, Gil Rose claimed he was King of nothing. A clear statement and a real good start. Backed by Les Hydropathes in some Nino Ferrer / Ronnie Bird sixties-garage way. For this new one, he's now Star au Soto Bar. At last! Such an improvement. In between, you'll find a couple of others records. Less revival, much more sarcastic. Coming with a non-stop obsession for refinement and ironic peculiarity. Sometimes haunted by Nikki Sudden, Johnny Thunders or long time forgotten old bluesmen. But, above all, mainly Gil Rose. He's one of a kind. Logical next step was going alone. Offering the substantial. Closer to the bone. That's what "Soto bar" is all about. Bare record, full of imagination. A whole world. With great melodies. Less is more! Recorded and produced by none than Wreckless Eric, a legend by himself. Some fascinating bittersweet love songs and an handful of neurotic mocking ones. Add a cathartic celebration of western B- movie. Probably shooted in Spain. And even a couple of bossa nova. The guy HATES routine !! And reinvent what he likes about rock'n'roll. Something one part primitive, one part smart. And funny. With booze, women and tenderness. Doin' it his way. Informal. He's right!

Some people change, and some others never do. Dave Kusworth is one of the last ones. Always faithful to his roots along a career of more than 30 years, he still lives by and for rock'n'roll. He began with T.V. Eye in 1977, formed The Hawks in 1979, and became a member of The Dogs D'Amour in 1983. In 1984 he took the partnership of Nikki Sudden in The Jacobites and in 1987 he formed his own band The Bounty Hunters.

It really isn't your choice....... The choice belongs to the person sttached to that penis. Human rights do apply to babies as well.posted 02/25/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
I like the woman who said, "The doctors at the hospital scared me to death when they told me that there are risks to getting this procedure done. However, I have always known that if i had a boy, I would get him circumsized. Medicaid wont cover because it is a "cosmetic surgery". I live in Nevada and it cost me 100 dollars. Don't let others tell you its not right, because it is your choice." You would think it would be the baby's choice whether he mutilate his penis or not. My mother told me that our hospital in Carlsbad New Mexico wouldn't let me go home until they did it (and charged her the $50 in 1963). My aunt Sally told me that the same hospital didn't even ask permission: they just did it to her twins in 1976 and charged her $100 each.posted 02/25/2015 by derekno
I just had my son three months ago and it cost me $100 to get him circumcised...I'm not sure if that's the cost at every hospital but where I live its $100posted 01/31/2015 by genesisblu
Actually most of the supposed benefits are related to adults........not children. Why not let the child grow up and decide for himself as an adult if he wants part of his normal genital is cut off? Same for religion. Why not give a child religious freedom as well..... Rather than carving a religion he may not choose into his perfect normal little body? There is nothing wrong with circumcision as long as the person choosing it for his own body is making the decision. Medically unnecessary surgery in healthy babies is unethical.posted 01/31/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
Good for you! In spite of what the naysayers have to say, there IS scientific proof of the health benefits of circumcision. Not to mention, the religious choices. I'm not sure why people who aren't circumcised feel so intent on criticizing people for circumcision. They are obviously not religious and should respect any religious person's choice. Nonetheless, circumcision, when done early, isn't very expensive. Usually, it's only a couple hundred dollars. Enjoy your new life with your new baby!posted 01/30/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
Amputating healthy tissue from an un-consenting patient is unethical and immoral. And doctors make enough money doing it to baby boys, and then selling the skin to pharmacological companies, to buy a new Mercedes every year. And they don't have to live with the consequences of their mistakes.posted 11/15/2014 by gravester
So what? Apparently you can't read or you refuse to..... That is definitely a patenting "choice"! Good parents don't refuse to look at facts......posted 10/27/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
K your stupid because that was not the question.. the question is how much it costs... wake up and learn to readposted 10/27/2014 by miraclen2
Stupid? Genital cutting lacking a medical necessity to do it is not a parenting "choice"....... Wake up and smell the "unethical" of it!posted 10/27/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
There should be no other comments after this one.... it ranges from 50 dollars to 500 dollars.. in my area it is 215 dollars... check with your doctor or hospital ever one who comments after this is just stupid because this comment answered the question..... grow up everyone we all should know that it is our child and our decition... if abortion is legal then circumcision is not that bad compared to abortion so stop being so judgemental on parenting choicesposted 10/27/2014 by miraclen2

no grill, so i used my iron griddle, but this recipe got me started on grilled/fried cauliflower. first i just fried it in olive oil, and that was great. then added diced garlic, and it was even better. now i'm making it with shredded romano on top for the last 3 or 4 minutes. i never did get around to using the brown sugar—i'm diabetic. this is a perfect entree for me, and i love it. even the "not-that-fond-of-cauliflower wife likes it. if you like cauliflower even a little, you should try this.
I don't know if it is the light grilled flavor or the brown sugar that transforms the Cauliflower flavor into a little slice of heaven.
Loved it! And my kids do too!

Four Tigers Selected to C-USA Coaches' All-Conference Teams
Dec. 9, 2008 IRVING, Texas - Four University of Memphis football players earned Conference USA All-Conference honors on Tuesday, as selected by the league's 12 head football coaches. Senior offensive lineman Brandon Pearce and senior defensive lineman Clinton McDonald were both named to the first team, while junior running back Curtis Steele earned second-team accolades. Freshman offensive lineman Ronald Leary is the team's lone representative on the All-Freshman team. Pearce has started the last 45 straight games for the Tigers. He was on the Lombardi Award Watch List this season, and was a semifinalist for the Draddy Trophy, which is considered as the "Academic Heisman." Pearce has worked 834 of the 912 offensive plays this year. The Memphis native has been instrumental in the Tigers ranking 19th nationally in rushing offense and 22nd in total offense. The Tiger O-line ranks second in C-USA in sack denial, having only given way to 16 in 12 games. Pearce was an honorable mention All-Conference pick in 2007 and earned third-team recognition in 2006. McDonald ranks third in the league in sacks per game and ranks 30th nationally with seven in 10 games. His four sack performance against Arkansas State ranks tied for the highest total in the NCAA this season and helped him earn C-USA Defensive Player of the Week. The Jacksonville, Ark., native was on the preseason Lombardi Award Watch List. He has played in 10 of 12 games with nine starts at defensive tackle and totals 35 tackles and 7.5 tackles for loss. McDonald was an honorable mention All-Conference pick in 2007. Steele leads the Tigers in rushing with 1,175 yards and seven touchdowns on 206 carries. He logged his sixth 100-yard rushing game with his 135-yard effort versus Tulane. Steele ranks fourth all-time in single-season yardage and is the first Tiger to rush for over 1,000 yards since DeAngelo Williams did so in 2005. The Franklin, Tenn., native is averaging 97.92 rushing yards in 12 games and has averaged 112.2 yards in his last nine contests.
Leary served as a key backup at right and left tackle on the offensive line for the Tigers. The redshirt freshman saw his first collegiate action against UAB and served as a key replacement for Pearce and senior Cody Stubblefield. Leary has played in every game since his debut, logging 139 offensive snaps in seven games. The Baton Rouge, La., native helped the O-Line rank second in the league in fewest sacks allowed with 16 in 12 games. Additionally, eight Tigers earned All-Conference Honorable Mention. Senior offensive lineman Philip Beliles, senior wide receiver Maurice Jones and junior wide receiver Carlos Singleton were selected on the offense, while junior linebacker Greg Jackson, junior defensive back D.A. Griffin and junior defensive back Alton Starr were named on the defensive side. Senior punter Brent Sutherland and sophomore long snapper Keenan Bratcher also earned honorable mention on special teams. 2008 C-USA FOOTBALL ALL-CONFERENCE TEAMS FIRST TEAM OFFENSE DEFENSE SPECIAL TEAMS SECOND TEAM OFFENSE DEFENSE SPECIAL TEAMS 2008 C-USA FOOTBALL ALL-FRESHMAN TEAM OFFENSE DEFENSE SPECIAL TEAMS |

Note-Taking App Vesper Updated with iOS 7 Redesign, New Typography Options
Vesper, a note-taking app developed by a team led by Apple blogger John Gruber, has launched an update that features a complete redesign in-line with the "flat" design principles of iOS 7, as well various other enhancements such as 64-bit support on the iPhone 5s, new typography settings and improved text rendering. The update also includes brand new gestures for photo management and performance improvements. Originally released in June, Vesper offers a simplistic user interface that focuses on quick input and customizable organization, using a "tags" based system to easily group items into collections. The app also supports photos in addition to text along with an in-app browser, and drag and drop functionality for organization. Vesper can be downloaded from the App Store for $4.99.

Simplicity. In Vesper, you tag your notes, swipe to the right, and you see the drawer of your tags. In Day One, I don't think it works that way. Day One is more of a journaling/entry type of app.

I agree that the app is expensive considering limited feature set, but included features are very well done with great "physics" that cannot be demonstrated in pictures. Having said that, the app badly needs cloud sync, share (not email/SMS variety but live cloud-based share), and iPad version. |

It's all very well having a 'beautiful app' but if their is no sync it really is a waste of time. Looking at the list of developers involved in this app I can't believe they haven't realise this.
It may not be so attractive but I'll stick with Simplenote, it's free and even has a free Mac app too. |

Interesting comments about sync being essential.
I'd agree cloud sync is great for things like shopping lists and todo lists, but I don't want it for very personal information (medical, financial, passwords, etc). I want to keep that information out of somebody-else's nebulous cloud. The recent macrumors security breach serves as a reminder that determined hackers are a constant threat to sensitive online data - particularly where it exists in large, lucrative concentrations. So that's why I like the idea of no sync (or at least being able to turn it off and keep it off) That said, the vesper devs have sync on their todo list: http://daringfireball.net/2013/09/ve...new_whats_next. But it's reassuring to see they understand the dangers of just throwing everyone's data into some cloud somewhere: Quote:

(...are you really using a non-encrypted notepad for that kind of info?) Quote:
Needless to say, you are free to use the app you want and pay whatever you want. If the agonizing over placement of icons is more important for you than sync, sounds like Vesper is perfect for you. But certainly that doesn't reflect my priorities - I am not even sure if I know what would make a note-taking app "beautiful". So probably Vesper is too exquisite for me. And so I find the free, excellently-sincyng SimpleNote to be good enough for me. Also, secondarily but important for me at least, I find myself not wanting to support developers who wax philosophical over icon placement and beauty in half-baked note-taking apps while other apps are already offering the real meat - for free. And just so you know that it isn't about the "free" part, I am waiting for SimpleNote to start accepting premium accounts again to get one. Simply because I want to make sure that they stay around. |

From the Publisher
"His book supplants most of the many books on Soane and exemplifies the essential significance of documentary and biographical study to architectural history." R.W. Liscombe, Choice"A striking portrait of the last Enlightenment thinker. David Watkin's intellectual biography is graceful, scholarly, rewarding..." The Times (London)
"This is a neatly condensed version of Watkin's masterful intellectual and professional contextualization of Sir John Soane's lectures as professor of architecture at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, 1810-20...it provides valuable insights on both the intellectual fabric of the Enlightenment and its arcitectural affects, as well as the design practices of Soane. The text is lucid in argument, and literary style, being further clarified by well-chosen illustrations, many from drawings by the architect. In this abridged form the book will prove especially useful to faculty, researchers, graduate students, and professionals." Choice

I have had a look online for specs - the usual well known auction site - but managed to miss one batch of worn out glasses and will look again another evening. Trouble is they are plentiful but not cheap - I'll find some eventually!

Two welders were severely burned in a fuel tank explosion earlier this morning in the 3100 block of West Commodore Way. Fire crews rushed to the scene at about 11:30 a.m., and upon arrival found the fire had been extinguished by two other dry dock workers. Kyle Moore of the Seattle Fire Department said the employees used dry chemical fire extinguishers to put out the flames. The two had been working on a dry-docked 46-foot metal dredging boat when two nearby 80-gallon fuel tanks caught fire and exploded. Moore said the force of the explosion was enough to propel one of the tanks over a fence, and completely destroy the other tank.
"There were two explosions -one went, then another one went," explains Joe DeMaria, building maintenance employee and eyewitness to the event. "It shocked me…even an hour later." he continued. "There were red and black
flames you could see 30 feet in the air," on what he described as a "tender" boat for underwater divers. In an outdoor fenced yard rented by a diving company, at least six workers were working on the vessel using gas-operated cutting equipment, according to DeMaria. He saw at least five fire trucks, two aid units, and six Seattle Police units at the scene.

The BOO Birds are Getting Louder
At the game on Sunday, the BOO Birds were loud and are gonna get louder.
Here are a few highlights I noticed... The Cheerleaders are still hot. The roof was closed Carr did throw a couple of passes long, didn't say completed. Field Goal kicker is most excellent. A fan tried to kick a field goal at half time and missed wide left, that was funny... I don't care who you are...
The new era has begun..... |

Wasn't at the game, but I can't see myself booing the team. Granted watching from home while your team is losing while the play by play guys are analyzing the game and mistakes is more frustratingl. :brickwall
Frustrated watching the Texans? Then you definitely need this!!!!! |

I confess, I booed for the first time Sunday. I told the guys in my section that I've yet to boo the team. I told them that if they start playing the same ole lay down, crap football as they have in the past, that I would boo.
Well, sure enough they did and I booed! Really was all towards the Coaches than the players, I hope they understand this. The Astros got bigger yells than the Texans yesterday! bobby 119C :brickwall |

Q. Just to clarify, you said it's all on the internet, this part, but your coach made you drink three liters of orange juice or something every day, and was your former coach stalking you and your current husband came in as a private detective to keep him away? Is that the story? What is the story?
A. That was yeah, sort of. But that's not the story you're going to read about. You're going to read about it, but it's not a big deal.
Q. But did you feel you needed a private detective or was it your parents?
A. Yeah, it was more my parents. No, it was not myself. I felt I was always in control of everything I did.
- Patty Schnyder
Q. Can I ask you what strings you use?
A. What strings? For grass I use kind of synthetic and gut, half and half.
Q. Synthetic in the mains and guts in the cross?
A. Yeah.
- Gonzo
Q. On the BBC they were claiming you might have been inspired by meeting Jonathan Ross on his talk show.
A. That's definitely provided all my inspiration to doing well in The Championships.
Q. How was that for you?
A. It was fun. He's a great guy. I had a lot of fun.
- ReRe Williams
Q. Would you say she's the best player in the game when [Serena's] playing her best, or do you think Justine is a little bit better than her?
A. It's a very close call. I would say at the moment Justine is the best player.
Q. So there's going to be no bump, no Serena slamming into you on the changeovers this time?
A. I hope not (laughing).

Martin Lambie-Nairn
A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (August 2010) |

Martin Lambie-Nairn (born 4 August 1945) is a British graphic designer. He was the founder of his eponymous branding agency Lambie-Nairn & Company and is currently the creative director of branding agency ML-N. His work mainly concentrates on brand identity for television. Lambie-Nairn is acknowledged for having redefined television brand identity design, merging the graphical qualities typical of printed communication, with the range of possibilities offered by the media of television.
Amongst his most prominent works are: the original Channel 4 logo and idents created in 1982; the batch of 30+ idents for BBC Two that first aired on February 16, 1991; and the 1997 corporate re-brand for the whole BBC. He, in conjunction with his agency, also created launch packages for certain other BBC channels.
Early work[edit]
Lambie-Nairn was educated at University College for the Creative Arts at Canterbury, now the University for the Creative Arts. His career in television began in the 1960s as a temp at the BBC. Roles as a graphic designer at Rediffusion, ITN and London Weekend Television followed. Lambie-Nairn set up his own company, Robinson Lambie-Nairn, with fellow partner Colin Robinson in 1976 after leaving LWT, and he went on to develop new graphic presentation techniques for Weekend World. To coincide with the business' substantial expansion the company was renamed Lambie-Nairn & Company in 1990.
Computer animation enabled him to produce what became regarded as a revolutionary identity[1] for Channel 4, the "Blocks" logo, with help from visual effects technicians based in Los Angeles, California.[1] This identity launched the fledgling TV channel on 2 November 1982. This identity remained at the heart of the channel's on-air presentation for 14 years. In 1981 he created the original idea[citation needed] for the UK TV series Spitting Image[2] which ran for 11 years. He received the credit that the show was "based on an original lunch with Martin Lambie-Nairn."
Following Channel 4 and Spitting Image, he worked as a director of computer animated commercials, producing the first ever 30 second computer generated TV advertisement in the UK, which was a commercial for Smarties.[3]
The BBC years[edit]
For nearly 12 years in the 1990s and after he became consultant creative director at the BBC, his first relationship with the BBC since his early career with them as a temp in the 1960s. During this period[4] Lambie-Nairn and his company designed a series of idents[5] for the BBC, including those shown on BBC Two commissioned by then-controller Alan Yentob. Most of the idents in this set and additional idents that were added later in the series' run were mainly practical and employed traditional camera methods, with the CGI-generated Optics ident being the notable exception. Meanwhile, for BBC1 he forsook computer animation in favour of these camera methods to remake its popular globe ident, replacing the previous ident, the Computer Originated World.
In 1997, he wrote Brand Identity for Television: With Knobs On,[6] which was illustrated with colour stills, models and preliminary sketches from his own notebooks. He used the book to reveal how key identities, symbols and sequences from his career were achieved.
He would be appointed again by the BBC that year to design and build the famous red hot air balloon that was used for a new series of idents aired on BBC One from October 4, which aimed to capture the idea that the channel gave a view of what was happening all over Britain, and more idents for BBC Two that also began on October 4. He also co-conceived the Rhythm & Movement idents for BBC One first shown on March 29, 2002. In 2001, he worked with American visual effects technician Mic Graves to co-design BBC Two's 2001-2007 Personality 2s series of idents, which featured robotic figure 2s, each displaying individual personalities, which went on the air on November 18. Lambie-Nairn also designed ident packages for BBC News 24 (now called BBC News), BBC Choice, CBeebies, CBBC and BBC Four.
In April 2008 Lambie-Nairn left the practice he pioneered to join Heavenly as Creative Director, leaving in 2010.
Lambie-Nairn now has his own consultancy, ML-N, based in London.
Martin Lambie-Narin joined the research company, TNS in 2011[7] as creative director.
Lambie-Nairn is an RDI (Royal Designer for Industry),[8] Fellow of the Royal Television Society,[9] and was, for a time, the president of the Design and Art Direction Charity. He has received a Gold D&AD Award for his work for Channel 4, a Silver D&AD Award and a BAFTA Award[10] for his work for BBC2. He has received many industry awards, including a Lifetime Achievement[11] honour at the Promax UK awards for excellence in marketing in 2007. He is also Visiting Professor[12] at the Faculty of Art, Architecture and Design at the University of Lincoln.

Service oriented business depends on the ability and capacity of the service providers. They should know the value of their services to the client and consumers and accordingly should perform the work in an efficient manner. Delivery service Dallas is very well known for their format of work and the quality they provide or try to provide is really undoubtedly fantastic. This type of business mainly deals with the faith of the people. If a person has posted an urgent parcel to be delivered to one of his relative staying on the other part of the country or world the service men should ensure that it will be delivered at the destination within specific minimum business days without any failure. There should be no or lowest chance of failure in most of the cases. In this way a courier agency can easily earn the faith of the customers.
In order to run the chain of any service oriented industry the business man has to ensure that he has right number of responsible staff members who can handle the business in a proper manner to achieve the yearly targets within the specified dates. There is no doubt about the responsibility taken by Delivery Service. They are renowned for their customer relationships and management capacity. Management of a service oriented company is not very easy task. Here you have to ensure that you can understand the psychology of your staff members very easily and always try to make a bridge to remove the gap between the management and the staff members.
The staff members should feel that they are the part of management and their insight is valued in that organization and this satisfaction would lead to grand success of the company. Courier service requires a lot of expertise to run it in an efficient manner. Here the delivery men should ensure that they are able to find out the address of the receiver of the goods within the specific time limit and are enable to deliver the article, parcel, letter or life saving medicines safely in the hand of receiver at the destination point. In this way they can co-ordinate between two knots of different address, area and country. It is their responsibility to search out the address.
In cases of international addresses the local office of a big multi-national courier agency contacts their counterpart in the destination country. After that the goods are sent mainly via airplane or cargo ships. The agent of the agency in the destination country receives the goods from the ports by showing valid legal documents. After that it would be their responsibility to search the right address to send the envelope. In cases of medical delivery the courier agencies should be more careful and cautious as medicines are for lives. A medicine sent via courier is meant to support the life of an ailing person at the receiver's end. So in these cases there would be no failure and if any mistake is found a strong step is taken against the person guilty for it. So you have to consider a lot of points in order to run the business efficiently.

Price: $39.95
Our custom map puzzle brings you even closer to your most meaningful place. For centuries, maps have helped us make sense of the world around us. This unique jigsaw puzzle lets you discover even more about the areas you know well. Your journey starts with a house-shaped center piece and grows, one "ah-ha!" moment at a time, into a six-by-four-mile topographic map. Streams and roads, forests and lakes reveal themselves as your 400-piece puzzle takes shape, resulting in a distinctive perspective on the places that mean the most to you. Specify recipient's full U.S. address, including street number and name, city, state, and zip code.
Please note: Personalized items cannot be returned unless damaged or defective. Please check your order carefully; once placed, your order for this item cannot be canceled. Please allow 2–3 weeks for delivery. U.S. postal addresses only.
12 1/4"W x 18 1/2"L completed.
Which mapping base is used? We use the Delorme North America Raster Map base. This is a modern, street-style, topographical map base, which reveals most major roads and names many but not all streets, towns, cities, lakes, streams, and selected points of interest. The mapping also includes contours and a subtle relief shading effect.
How old is the mapping? The Delorme mapping we use is taken from their 2012 dataset.
How much area will my puzzle cover? The puzzle always covers six miles east to west and four miles north to south. The center will have a house-shaped piece, which is a good place to start!
Will my street be named? Not always. Delorme includes more than 7.1 million miles of roads in this dataset. They aim to label as many streets as possible but there isn't space to label every street. There is a balance between naming every street and leaving room to display other local information such as neighborhood names and points of interest.
Why is my jigsaw not centered correctly? We have invested in the latest up-to-date technology to help us center on a full street address with zip code. However, in some rural areas the geocoding engines cannot site center with as much accuracy as is possible with more urban areas; in rare circumstances, your house may be slightly off center. If this happens, all we need is the latitude and longitude of your chosen center point to re-create your puzzle to that exact location.

The puzzle is very well made, challenging but not too difficult. Even as an adult who has lived here most of my life, I still learned some things about my part of town. And, there is a cute little surprise right in the middle of the puzzle.The only negative about the puzzle is that there is quite a bit of undeveloped land area included. But, even that was fun to put together.

Incredibly, almost in tears disappointed

Comments about National Geographic ''My Town'' Custom Map Puzzle:
Ordered this *expensive* puzzle as a Valentines Day gift for my puzzle-loving husband. Thought about how much he would enjoy seeing backyards, vehicles, other details of properties around us take shape as he worked this puzzle. Waited FOREVER for it to arrive. It came the week of Valentines and it was not an Aerial View, but just a Street Map. Called customer service. They couldn't do a thing to help me. NG offers 2 types of My Town puzzles: Street Map and Aerial View. I had unknowingly ordered the Street Map version - not even sure why anyone would think putting together a Street Map was fun!It is NOT CLEAR on the website there are 2 types, especially when ordering from your phone. Make sure you're getting the one you want!!! The Aerial View is $10 more.I've distinguished the 2 types much better in this comment than they do on the website. Improve the website to match!! My Town Custom Puzzle: __ Street Map (example)__ Aerial View (example)And make sure it's clear from a mobile device!The LEAST customer service could have done was offer me the aerial view for the same price as the street map.

Great idea for a puzzle, but the maps were very old. Ordered in 2014 and the map was from 2002. Not great as gift for a new homeowner. First puzzle received was a completely different state and needed to be exchanged. I love NatGeo but they dropped the ball on this one.
it is simple to use

By Home Again
from Silver Spring, MD
Having bought this as a gift for my husband when we moved to a new city, I now give it as a gift to family and friends who move. What a great way to get familiar with the street, parks, waterways! Working on it together is a delightful sharing of knowledge and ignorance.

my town puzzle
By none
from cleveland, ohio
1/2 of the puzzles is water( I did not know that would be the case)..puzzle pieces fit loses enough one does not know if it is the proper fit or not...fitting all the water colored peices together with such a lose fit was impossible, then at the end, peices where missing. I called customer service as I wanted a full refund, was told due to it's personal order, no refunds are given. Needless to say, we are very dissapointed with National Georgraphic, as this gift was recieved with much exceitment.
Great puzzle.

Speak Up 8/12: The Public Side of Public Safety
I have been reading Firehouse® Magazine for several years. I enjoy the diversity of articles and features the magazine offers. I find that I can always find a new aspect of firefighting to consider after reading and rereading a copy of Firehouse®.
I had an experience not long ago in which I went on a BLS (basic life support) ambulance call for a patient not far away. Another EMT and I happened to be at the station talking when the tones dropped. We had about a one-minute response time.
After returning from the call, I was speaking with the assistant fire chief. He advised that he had been speaking to the occupants of the home we responded to and that they had expressed concern for getting an ambulance in a timely manner.
It struck me that our outreach is non-existent. Obviously, we can't go around talking about private information in violation of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) privacy rules, but we certainly could do better, not only as my department, but as a national and global fire service to demonstrate all that we do for the public good. I feel that most communities are thankful for the fire service, but may not be as aware of our role as they could be with moderate effort on our part.
Looking to us as leaders
The fire service, arguably more than any other discipline of emergency management, is looked upon as the leader in a community when a disaster strikes. Regardless of the type of incident or its origin, local fire companies everywhere answer the charge to render aid in situations of all kinds. Although I'm sure many firefighters have been in a situation where a patient, an injured party or disaster victim has become angry and directed frustration at fire personnel, I would also say that the other 99% of the time, we are a welcome sight for a person or family in real distress, but do they realize it?
You read that correctly. Do the people who called you to their house fire realize that you are not only willing to help, but also trained in fire suppression, medical treatment, public safety, evacuation procedures, property salvage and mental health and emotional support? I'm saying no. I say they call because you are the fire department and all they realize is that they have a fire.
Today's fire service is so much more than just "putting the wet stuff on the red stuff." We are an evolving, professional, cross-trained group of persons who can do a variety of highly critical and specialized tasks. It's about time we realize just because we know our capabilities doesn't mean the general public does as well. This is the case for just how important it is that we tell them.
We did a great job, but nobody knows it
My rural volunteer department very recently brought together the fire and EMS divisions to attend landing-zone training by a local air ambulance provider. Less than a week later, I personally called in two helicopters during a very serious car-versus-tree collision with four persons entrapped – the first time our department has used air transport. Six separate agencies responded, including local, county and state police, fire-EMS, a county rescue squad and a local air ambulance service that provided the helicopters. The car struck a very large oak tree head on after having missed a jogger in the road. We experienced an estimated 35-minute extrication to remove all four occupants. Extrication required the removal of multiple doors on the vehicle, as well as a complete pillar-up roof removal, and the removal of the backs of both front seats for rear patient access. We remained on scene for about three hours before the vehicle was released to the tow service operator.
We brought in ALS (advanced life support) ground ambulances, established landing zones and landed the two air units simultaneously, coordinated with local, county and state police and the county rescue squad to save these people – but nobody else knows it. No one knows what a great job every single person did at that scene to help save lives.
Getting our message out to the public
Many departments, particularly rural volunteer departments like mine, may or may not have a policy dealing with media requests or press releases, but we all should. Providing timely and accurate information regarding a response, without violating any legal or moral aspects of confidentiality, are critical tools to let our communities know that not only are we still alive and well, but that we can handle difficult situations with a positive outcome.
Consider the implications of an effective outreach program in your community:
• Public trust – Why do the citizens of our jurisdictions trust us to respond to their homes and care for their families? Is it because they know we have great response times, specialized training or equipment or practice regularly to deal with exactly their kind of situation? Absolutely not, but they should – in fact, those are exactly the reasons that the public should trust their fire department. We all train to stay sharp with basic skills, new tools and technologies and the hypothetical "what-if" scenarios, but we must also let our citizens know that we are working for them, even when they don't see it.
• Rumor mill – The morning after the bad wreck, I heard various stories – there were more patients, fewer patients, fatalities, a 30-minute response time for the fire department, etc. Even though a fatal car accident isn't a fire or EMS agency's fault, it would sure impress me more if I heard people talking about how quickly we made the determination to bring in air transport resources, how efficiently our fire crew worked with the county rescue squad to extricate the patients, and how our quick and thorough decisions and actions caused every patient in that car to leave the scene alive.
• Community support – Having a fire department that is engaged within the community means the community will be engaged within the fire department. This may lead to an increased interest in membership in a department that is experiencing low roster numbers. The community may be more willing to support association fundraisers or even a proposed tax levy increase if the department has been engaged with the community and can show the support of citizens.
Fostering a bond with the community
Taking the time to draft a press release or respond to a media inquiry is an important function of our roles as stewards of the public trust. Relaying accurate information on a routine basis can serve to dispel negative rumors about a department's activities. It can help convey the level of training and expertise personnel have that makes them better serve the community.
Keeping the public informed also creates a bond within a community so that when the department must rapidly disseminate information regarding a hazard or order an evacuation, not only will local media contacts be in place to help with the information flow process, but more importantly the community will be more likely to take heed of what we are telling them. They will know we aren't just a fire department; we are professionals who train and prepare for exactly these kinds of situations, and we are here to help.
