Murder on the Orient Express: A Hercule Poirot Mystery
Murder on the Orient Express: A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Paperback)
Just after midnight, the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, the millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. One of his fellow passengers must be the murderer.
Isolated by the storm, detective Hercule Poirot must find the killer among a dozen of the dead man's enemies, before the murderer decides to strike again.
About the Author
Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time and in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her books have sold over a billion copies in English and another billion in one hundred foreign countries. She is the author of eighty novels and short-story collections, nineteen plays, and six novels under the name Mary Westmacott. She died in 1976.
Praise for Murder on the Orient Express: A Hercule Poirot Mystery…
"What more…can a mystery addict desire?"
-New York Times
"[Moves] smoothly and entertainingly to its surprise conclusion."
-Chicago Daily Tribune
"Nothing short of swell. [Christie] is probably the best suspicion scatterer and diverter in the business."
-New York Herald Tribune
"Need it be said—the little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end."
-Times Literary Supplement (London)
"A brilliantly ingenious story."
-Dorothy L. Sayers, Daily Herald (UK)
"It's tempting to say that Agatha Christie is a genius and let it go at that, but the world's had plenty of geniuses. Agatha Christie is something special."

The face of road pedals.
Over the generations of Dura-Ace, we've become more accustomed to seeing the gradual incorporation of carbon fiber. And while this seems like an interpretive advancement, Shimano has remained steadfast in its purposeful placement. So, instead of senselessly making every facet of the Dura-Ace group from carbon, we see it in places of direct benefit, like the mid-spider carrier of the cassette, the arm of the rear derailleur, and at the platform of the Dura-Ace PD-9000 SPD Pedals,
So, you might be wondering, aside from the carbon composite body, what's really changed with the 9000 pedals? Well, a great deal, actually. To start, the pedals feature a wider fit positioning adjustability in order to create a more stable platform than what was available with prior iterations. This system has also been paired with a new cleat, as well. Together, the 9000 pedals create a more extensive platform for power transfer, while simultaneously providing an increased level of comfort.
And while the aforementioned contributes to an increased pedal efficiency, Shimano has gone to immense lengths to redesign the definition of comfort with the 9000 pedals. The principals of the cleat retention system are centered on a front/center pivoting system. And within this new design, the SM-SH12 cleat plays a pivotal role. This is because the interaction between the cleat and pedal limits toe movement and lateral play by restricting float to +/- one degree. So, the system basically corrects your bad habits before they happen. Together, this will minimize knee strain, hot spots, and contribute to absolute efficiency. However, we advise you not to be intimidated by the shortened degree of float, as this is not to be confused with the strength of cleat retention, only the degree of lateral movement. But, on that note, Shimano did keep one of our favorite features of Dura-Ace pedals, the spring-loaded tension adjustment. This feature is accessible at the rear of the pedal, and is able to dial-in your preference for the difficulty of cleat exit — we tend to hammer this down on predictable terrain like the track.
For durability, you'll find that the pedals continue with the usage of a stainless steel top plate.
The Shimano Dura-Ace PD-9000 SPD-SL Pedals are available in the color Black and in one size. Please note that these pedals are recommended for use with the new SM-SH12 cleats.

yes as always!
Great pedals

Light, strong and with a good pair of shoes you will notice better pedaling power than with less expensive pedal on cheap shoes. Well worth the money.

Can I order these in the +4mm spindle length?
I assume that PD-9000 pedals come with a set of cleats, correct?
Yes, come with the blue cleats (SM-SH12 cleat). 2 degrees of float.

Carlissa Taylor said Friday's Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting devastated her more than 9/11.
The kindergarten teacher at Contentnea-Savannah K8 School was "oddly anxious" to get back to work Monday, feeling more and more at peace as each student walked into her classroom.
"It was intensely personal," Taylor said. "There were three names on that list that were the same names as children in my classroom. I was constantly imagining my classroom, my children."
She said she couldn't stomach to continue watching news coverage of the gunman who, on Friday, entered Sandy Hooks Elementary in Newtown, Conn. and killed 26 people — including 20 children as young as 5-years old.
Multiple sources reported Adam Lanza, 20, forced his way into the school and opened fire before turning a handgun on himself; his mother's body was later found at a Newtown residence.
The mass murder became the second-deadliest school shooting behind the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre that left 32 dead in Blacksburg, Va.
"It is a nightmare scenario that you certainly wish you never have to deal with in your lifetime," Greene County Schools Superintendent Patrick Miller said.
Miller said parents called his central office wanting reassurance of the school system's safety procedures.
"I certainly would like to reiterate to parents that schools are probably the safest places because we practice these (safety) procedures," Miller said. "If you're in a mall or restaurant, there may not be a plan in place to limit the damage."
Safety precautions throughout Greene, Jones, and Lenoir County Schools were reviewed by administrative staff Monday.
Police departments and sheriff's offices were also visible at campuses across the area.
"We've been trained multiple times in active shooter scenarios — it's a universal program," a detective at Maysville Police Department, Anthony Thomas, said. He is often stationed at the Maysville Elementary School as an officer.
He said teachers and law enforcement have secret emergency signals readily available to let officers know if they need to go into a classroom.
"When we're going by these classrooms … I know I can bypass those classrooms," Thomas said. "When I see (the signal), I know I need to stop and check."
He said he immediately thought of Maysville Elementary when he heard the news.
"It was emotional for me, just thinking that this could have been Anytown, USA," he said.
After going through standard safety measures on Monday, schools systems administrators and personnel are secure with their protection plans.
"There's not necessarily something brand new that we're going to do," LCS Superintendent Steve Mazingo said. "We're very vigilant in insuring that we have (safety) practice procedures put in place."
Southeast Elementary School Principal Nakia Williams said she used Monday morning to triple check entrances to the school.
"We go into this Monday knowing that some of our children would have experienced some thoughts or concerns about what was happening," she said. "They will ask questions, but we don't want to be too detailed with it."
She added, "We will let them guide the conversation."
Teachers with younger students in the three counties weren't prompted to explain Friday's tragic events because students hadn't asked.
"We tend to deal with things in the community as the children bring it to us," Southeast second grade teacher Charis Walker said. "We don't want to lead them into situations that make them uncomfortable, and I'm not sure how parents have explained that to them."
Sharon Pate told her grandson Cody Jones, 7, about the terrifying gunman who entered the school in Connecticut.
"He understood it," she said.
Cody hunts with his parents and is familiar with gun safety.
"I'm sad because they all died," he said, adding he feels out of harm's way at his school, Contentnea-Savannah K8.
Another parent, Pamela Jones, said she and her family prayed after she explained the events to her youngest children — one in elementary school and the other in middle.
"You don't even imagine you send your children to school and they don't come home," said Jones, the mother of five.
"It was really alarming," she said as she picked up her 12-year-old son from Contentnea-Savannah.
The school had a prayer service before classes began Monday, reading the names of the victims and wearing a green ribbon. Staff wore white to represent the innocence of the children who died.
"The principal was killed, the counselor was killed, the teachers were killed and 5 and 6-year old students were killed," Contentnea Savannah Principal Frances Herring said. "It was so devastating. I started an email to my staff about 15 times and discarded them because I didn't know what to say.
"I needed to give them some reassurance and let know that we're all grieving," she added. She said she completed the email by the 16th attempt.
The first day back went better than expected for some teachers.
"I've never been more proud to be a teacher," Taylor said of reuniting with her Contentnea-Savannah students. "I think the whole world saw — maybe more clearly than ever — what we do and what we're willing to do for our kids. There's not any teacher that I've ever met who wouldn't have done what those teachers did."

Many who lost their homes to Sandy have told us that they don't want to give up their pets, but that they have nowhere to keep them. In response, today the ASPCA is opening a 20,000 square-foot emergency boarding facility for hundreds of animals displaced by Superstorm Sandy.
Located in central Brooklyn, this emergency boarding service is offered to those who need a place to house their animals until they can get back on their feet. It will also provide shelter for pets of those in evacuation centers, as well as pets whose families are already boarding them at Sean Casey Animal Rescue in Brooklyn.
This effort is greatly aided by a $500,000 grant from generous animal lover Rachael Ray, as well as the donations of our compassionate supporters.
The ASPCA is operating this facility in collaboration with Animal Care & Control of NYC, the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Veterinary Response Team, and the NYC Veterinary Emergency Response Team.
"We will continue our disaster relief work to help animal victims in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, and hope that the emergency boarding facility will allow pet parents to focus on rebuilding their lives," says ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Senior Director Tim Rickey. "It will take time, but we will work as a community, and the ASPCA will continue to provide ongoing assistance, personnel and resources as long as we're needed."
If you or someone you know was affected by Sandy and needs to temporarily house an animal at our facility, please see the details below.
Where: Pet parents in need can bring their animals directly to the emergency boarding facility, located at 1508 Herkimer Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11233, as early as today. Map
When: Starting today, the facility will be open seven days a week from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., and will remain open for 30 days.
Standard of care: Veterinarians and specially trained staff will care for these pets and keep them healthy and happy, and pet parents will be welcome to visit.
What to bring: Pet parents are encouraged to bring the following, along with their pets, to the emergency boarding facility: one government-issued photo ID (i.e., driver's license, passport, military ID, or non-driver ID) and a proof of address (i.e. utility bill, driver's license). If possible, we encourage people to put ID tags on their pets and bring a carrier or crate, vaccination records, and medications or supplies for pets with special needs.
I am interested in fostering a small senior dog while his/her parents get back on their feet. Weewee pad trained is fine. I have a small dog now & 2 cats. I only ask that the dog not be a constant barker as I live in a building.
I come with references & years experience! I have fostered in the past and understand the pet gets to return home when ita time. :)

I would like to volunteer to foster care for an animal. I have a loving home, lots of time, & other pets to play with!
I just read in an article that you are already looking at closing this shelter, and that any remaining animals may be euthanized. As a supporter of ASPCA, I'm really dissapointed that you are not giving the owners more time to recover and claim pets.
I would also like to know what individuals can do to help these animals so they do not have to be euthanized.

Everett woman is surrogate mom for Trumpeter cygnets
Everett woman is surrogate for the cygnets
Genna Martin / The Herald
Martha Jordan, of Everett, leads five 13-day-old trumpeter cygnets out of their pen Tuesday using a decoy swan as a temporary "mom." When the cygnets are 80 days old, they will be released into the wild in Oregon.
Two cygnets snack on grass Tuesday in Martha Jordan's back yard.
Genna Martin/The Herald
Five 13-day-old trumpeter cygnets gather around "mom," a decoy swan, Tuesday in Martha Jordan's back yard in Everett. Jordan, a wildlife biologist and swan expert, will take care of the swans until they are 80 days old and can safely be released into the wild in Oregon.
The fuzzy cygnets, two weeks old, scurry to keep up in a scene that can only be described as impossibly cute.
For all intents and purposes, though, Jordan is really the baby birds' mom.
A wildlife biologist and authority on swans, Jordan agreed to raise the cygnets until they can be released into the wild.
The babies were hatched by a mating pair of swans at Northwest Trek, a wildlife park near Eatonville. In past years, some of the cygnets hatched there were lost to some of the other inhabitants of the park.
"They were becoming lunch for the bald eagles who live at the lake," Jordan said.
Jordan will raise the cygnets for about 80 days, after which they'll be released in Eastern Oregon. They become fully grown and ready to fly in just over 100 days, she said.
Though the cygnets' fledgling feathers are softer than silk, Jordan says petting them can condition the birds to human contact and make it harder for them to make it in the wild.
"I try not to handle them," she said.
Jordan has served as a foster parent for cygnets for 14 of the past 18 years, she said. Usually, she keeps them only for a few weeks and hands them off to another person who has room to house the cygnets as they get bigger.
An adult swan weighs from 25 to nearly 40 pounds and has a wingspan of 7� to 9 feet, according to Jordan.
The person who usually takes the swans from Jordan can't do it this year, so she is having a larger pen built in the back yard of her south Everett home.
Jordan, 64, is coordinator of the Washington Swan Stewards, a subsidiary of the Trumpeter Swan Society, a national non-profit organization. The local group provides education about swans and works on habitat conservation.
Trumpeter swans live only in North America and primarily in the Northwest. The other swan species native to the continent is the tundra swan, some of which also winter in the Northwest.
Trumpeter swans are migratory. Those that winter in Western Washington are among the 26,000 that breed in Alaska in the summer, Jordan said. They leave here in March and return in October.
Trumpeter swans are not endangered but their future is only as stable as that of the farmlands on which they depend for food in the winter, Jordan said.
Swans have historically wintered in local wetlands but as those have disappeared, the birds have adapted by landing at farms and eating the corn and other food put out for the livestock, she said. Farmers generally don't mind, Jordan said.
The Skagit Valley is the largest local wintering area, while the Stillaguamish and Snohomish valleys also attract many of the birds, she said.
Hunting Trumpeter swans in Washington state is illegal. Some of the lakes and fields where the swans land, however, are laden with lead buckshot leftover from decades ago or that's been fired at ducks or other waterfowl that may be legally hunted.
Swans ingest small pebbles as grit to help their digestion, and sometimes mistake the buckshot for pebbles, eat them and die from lead poisoning, she said.
Jordan gets paid for some of her work for the swan groups when grants are available. She goes on rescue missions in addition to banding and documenting the birds' whereabouts. But mostly she makes her living as a massage therapist, she said.
Still, she's recognized around the state as a leading authority on swans. She was asked to write the plan for minimizing the effect on swans from the demolition of the Elwha Dam, she said. Jordan confesses that she's sometimes referred to as the "swan lady."
She didn't set out to be a swan expert. Early in her career as a wildlife biologist working with other birds such as migratory geese, she frequently encountered swans and wound up studying them as part of her work.
In 1985, the state paid her to do a comprehensive swan survey.
"By that time, I was hooked on swans," she said.
It hasn't always been as much fun as watching the cygnets run across the lawn. Since 1999, more than 2,300 swans in the state have died from lead poisoning, according to the swan stewards website.
At the height of the die-off around 2003, "I was handling 4,000 pounds of dead swans," Jordan said.
Other times, she's been beaten up by swans when she got too close to a nest. Swans have claws on their webbed feet and hard edges to the front of their wings that they can swing like clubs.
They also have flexible, serrated bills. "They grab you and pinch and then twist and pull," she said.
Still, when she encounters a banded adult swan that she raised as a baby, or when people tell her stories of how swans have inspired them, it makes it all worthwhile, she said.
"You learn about humans and their connection to the land, and all that has come to me through the swan," she said.

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Thousands of miles from Ground Zero sits a piece of steel from the World Trade Center.
Instead of being on display at a public place, it s in John Jackson s backyard, 15 miles south in Tenino.
It kind of makes me ashamed, said Jackson, who helped design and raise the $80,000 for the construction of the memorial.
Jackson and other volunteers with the Spirit of America Memorial organization hoped to have the work placed at Olympia s Heritage Park on the state Capitol campus, but their application was denied.
Jackson shared his rejection letter from the Department of Enterprise Services with KING 5 News.
After careful review and consideration, said the letter from agency Director Joyce Turner, it is my opinion that the Spirit of America Memorial is not in keeping with the criteria set by the State.
The letter, from October 2012, informed Jackson the memorial would not be allowed on campus because it commemorates an event of national significance.
State law requires campus works to emphasize events significant to the state s heritage and culture.
Jackson has started looking at locations outside of the state of Washington for the memorial. He says there has been some interest from the George W. Bush Library in Texas.
But Jackson hopes someone in Olympia will reconsider. He may reapply, now that a new governor s been sworn in.
Here s an opportunity for the state to see how they can work with the community, said Jackson, to accomplish things they don t have the money to do.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2011
Vintage: 2011
Domaine Chandon produces limited quantities of varietal wines from estate-grown vineyards. These wines are crafted by drawing on its experience with the traditional champagne varietals–Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay–as well as the grape variety Napa Valley is best known for, Cabernet Sauvignon.
Tasting Notes
The 2011 vintage of our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has beautiful aromas of cocoa powder, dried rose petals and toasted oak. Red plum, cherry and boysenberry flavors share the palate with hints of black pepper and a medley of herbs, all of which linger on the finish.
Food and Wine PairingA wine made for all seasons, this Cabernet is equally delicious with grilled steak topped with chimichurri sauce as it with chicken simmered in mole sauce. Two of our favorite dishes are braised short ribs and pan-roasted pork chops.

Spoiler alert!
Stop reading if you don't want to know what happens next. By next, I mean this year. I already know and I'm willing to share.
For those who prefer 2013 remains a mystery, I've put together some lovely tennis results on page D11. You're welcome.
Now that we've settled that, we have 365 days to plow through, or at least the highlights.
Surprisingly, it didn't take 1.21 gigawatts of electrical power to see the future. No, I was merely hopped up on Mountain Dew and Cheez-Its.
Imagine if Nostradamus had Mountain Dew and Cheez-Its. Do you think he would have foretold a song/dance where you pretend to ride an invisible horse while shouting, "Hey, sexy lady," would take over the world? Read the last sentence aloud. Sounds silly, doesn't it? Not one of our finest moments, Planet Earth.
Without further ado, cheers to 2013, what a year it was.
7 Notre Dame wins its ninth national championship — its first BCS title — of the post-1936 poll era by beating Alabama 27-17 in a matchup for the ages. NBC announces coach Brian Kelly will replace Jay Leno as host of "The Tonight Show" and all 2013 Fighting Irish home games will be televised in primetime, Thursday nights opposite CBS' "The Big Bang Theory."
8 Commissioner Gary Bettman cancels the NHL season when talks with the players union break down yet again. The Big East immediately offers membership to the New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils, Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers and Los Angeles Kings. The addition of the Stanley Cup champion Kings keeps San Diego State from following Boise State back to the Mountain West.
9 Baseball Writers' Association of America members elect Barry Bonds, Craig Biggio, Tim Raines and Jack Morris to the Hall of Fame. After realizing Bonds' head can't possibly fit on the standard Hall of Fame plaque, the BBWAA rescinds its vote.
28 During his state of the league address, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announces South Carolina sophomore defensive end Jadeveon Clowney will be suspended four games and fined $50,000 once he's drafted by an NFL team for Clowney's monster hit on Michigan running back Vincent Smith.
3 The 49ers win their sixth Lombardi Trophy by beating the Patriots 31-28 in Super Bowl XLVII. The loss drops Tom Brady's record in Super Bowls to 0-3 without kicker Adam Vinatieri, forever cementing Brady as Art Garfunkel to Vinatieri's Paul Simon. For those of you under 30, replace Garfunkel with the rest of *NSYNC and Simon with Justin Timberlake.
24 Dale Earnhardt Jr. captures his second Daytona 500. NASCAR sponsors and fans rejoice.
1 Congress refuses to raise the federal debt ceiling, but crisis is averted when the Los Angeles Dodgers offer to take over payments while Democrats and Republicans work on a deal.
19 The World Baseball Classic … wait, what were we talking about? I dosed off.

(En español: Transpiración)
Say: pur-spuh-ray-shun
Perspiration is another name for sweat, the stuff that comes out of your skin through tiny holes called pores. Perspiration - which is mostly water - is your body's tool for keeping you cool when you get hot from exercise or hot weather. So next time you sweat, don't sweat it! It's just your body's way of chillin' you out.

Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
Newfoundlanders are working dogs.
Approximately 60-70 kg or 130-150 lbs. Females are slightly smaller weighing 45-55 kg or 100-120 lbs.
Male Newfoundlanders average height is 28 inches while females average 26 inches.
They're usually black.
Newfies, as they are affectionately known, usually have long, dark coats.
Newfies make excellent pets and are known for their extremely friendly and docile nature. They tend to be very loyal to their owners and have been known to be highly protective, especially of young children they are familiar with. Even puppies tend to be calm
Country of Origin:
They originate in Newfoundland, Canada.
There are varying opinions of the history of the Newfoundland. One school of thought argues they are descendent of large dogs that came with the Vikings. However, it is believed more likely that their size is the result of breeding with mastiffs that would have been introduced to Newfoundland by various European settlers. The breed characteristics and temperament of the Newfoundland were established as far back as the early 1600s. By the 1800s, history shows that fishermen in the area used the breed to pull fishnets and equipment.
They are named after the region from which they originate, Newfoundland.
These are very sweet and gentle dogs who are loyal and protective. They make excellent pets; although because of their size need more space.
Newfoundland dogs are quite intelligent and easily trained.
Newfies do not need an excessive amount of exercise. Given the space to roam, they will do so freely but would even be happy lazing about the house so long as they have company.
Owning a Newfoundlander can be very rewarding as they are affectionate and loyal dogs. They are well-mannered and easy to care for although they are a number of genetic health problems associated with the breed. Hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and cystiuria are a few of these health issues. They also drool profusely. Nonetheless, all the drooling and health problems in the world are eclipsed by the fact that they make such loving pets.

I was reading that Dynamic Discs is running all their tournament where the Rec division gets their money back in players pack and then basically plays trophy only.
I see how this could turn off some Rec players who are very competitive, but on the other hand if you're that competitive it won't be long until you move up. I think it could be good giving Rec players their money back in discs so they always get something for playing and never lose anything, however they don't really have the opportunity to win more than what they put in either.The recreational division was converted to trophy only for the 2012 season and remains that way for 2013. These recreational players usually pay around $35 and receive a players package worth well over that and often compete for additional prizes.
It's an interesting discussion, what are your thoughts about it?
Here's the full article about it. http://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums...ad.php?t=83752

It had to happen exactly how it happened.
Oak Hill Academy (6-5; 2-3) took care of business against Immanuel Christian 20-19.
Leake and Canton both won their games, and that not only secures a winning season for Oak Hill for the first time since 2006, but it puts them in the playoffs for the first time since 2009.
Congratulations to Coach Daniel Merchant, the players and the Oak Hill family. This is a truly great accomplishment.

1887 Bradley Map of Spain and Portugal
Description: This is a fine example of William M. Bradley's 1887 map of Spain and Portugal. It covers all of Spain and Portugal from France to the Strait of Gibraltar. The Balearic Islands of Ibiza, Majorca and Minorca are included. Various towns, cities, rivers and an assortment of additional topographical details are noted. Map is color coded according to regional and political boundaries with elevation rendered by hachure. Copyrighted 1887 by Wm. M. Bradley & Bro., for issue as plate no. 111 in the 1887 edition of Mitchell's New General Atlas.
Date: 1887 (dated)
Source: Huber, John. Mitchell's New General Atlas, containing Maps of the Various Countries of the World, Plans of Cities, Etc., Embraced in Ninty-Three Quarto Maps, forming a series of One Hundred and Forty-seven Map and Plans, together with Valuable Statistical Tables., 1887
References: Rumsey 0594.060.
Cartographer: Bradley, Garretson & Co. (fl. c. 1880 - 1900) were prominent cartographic publishers active in the later part of the 19th century. Bradley acquired Samuel Augustus Mitchell Junior's atlas plates in the late 1880s which he used to publish his own version of Mitchell's atlas. The firm had offices both in Philadelphia, at 66 North Fourth Street, and in Brantford, Ontario. Click here for a list of rare maps from Bradley, Garretson & Co.
Cartographer: Samuel Augustus Mitchell (March 20, 1792 - December 20, 1868) Senior began his map publishing career in the early 1830s. Having worked as a school teacher, Mitchell was frustrated with the low quality and inaccuracy of school texts of the period. His first maps were an attempt to rectify this problem. In the next 20 years Mitchell would become the most prominent American map publisher of the mid-19th century. Mitchell worked with prominent engravers J. H. Young, H. S. Tanner, and H. N. Burroughs before attaining the full copyright on his maps in 1847. In 1849 Mitchell teamed up with printer Cowperthwait & Company to produce the Mitchell's Universal Atlas and the Mitchell's General Atlas. In the late 1850s most of the Mitchell copyrights were bought by Desilver and Co. who continued to publish his maps, many with modified borders and color schemes, until Mitchell's son, Samuel Augustus Mitchell Junior, entered the picture. S.A. Mitchell Jr. purchased most of the copyrights back from Desilver and, from 1860 on, published his own New General Atlas. The younger Mitchell became as prominent as his father and published atlases well into the late 1880s when most of the copyrights were again sold and the Mitchell firm closed its doors for the final time.

Grenada is a group of three larger islands (Grenada, Carriacou, and Petit Martinique) and several tiny islands in the Caribbean, or West Indies. It lies just northeast of Trinidad and Tobago, and southwest of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It is famous for spices and is known as the "Spice Isle", being a major source of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and cocoa.
Visitors to the lush island of Grenada will love the tropical climate, white sandy beaches, and thriving green vegetation. Aromatic spice plantations give Grenada the nickname "Isle of Spice." There are spectacular mountain ranges, waterfalls, and rainforests.
Beach lovers will be in paradise, relaxing the day away on the soft white sands of Grand Anse. Shoppers will love the colorful sights and smells of the spice market, where you can banter with the friendly "spice ladies" for spices, souvenirs, clothing, and jewelry. In town you'll find art galleries, fabric shops, and waterfront restaurants where you can enjoy a cold rum punch and fresh seafood. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the views of the narrow, picturesque streets of St George's and the beautiful vista of the Carenage, one of the loveliest harbors in the Caribbean. Plenty of night life can be found at the many clubs and restaurants around the island.
