Volunteer fire department lands $32K grant
By Terry Wright
QUAKERTOWN, N.J. — It was a night of thank yous at the Quakertown Fire Company headquarters as a major donor, the firefighters and a former chief were all recognized for their accomplishments.
The Franklin Township Committee held its Thursday, Jan. 24, meeting in the firehouse right after the company honored its insurance agency, ProAccess, and Fireman's Fund insurance for the $32,195 equipment grant given to the volunteer unit.
The Quakertown Fire Company has received a total of around $130,000 in the grant program over the past six years. Brad Patkochis, a former chief, noted that they budget around $20,000 a year for equipment, so this has in essence allowed them to double the amount spent over that period.

Some scenes of the nightlife across the street from the Hotel Reforma
Unfortunately I scarfed one of the crab tostadas before I thought to take a picture. As a side note, last year I ran out of reading material pretty quickly, and I was finding it difficult to find English language books that I was interested in reading. One of the things I did differently this year was buy a Kindle electronic book to bring along, and it was a great decision. I've got about 50 books in this one little device that takes up less space than a single book. That single device has an English-Spanish dictionary, a Spanish-English dictionary, the Lonely Planet guide to Mexico, 501 Spanish Verbs, a magazine subscription, a couple of books on economics/the recent financial crash, some histories, and the rest are novels. The other cool thing about this device is that I can download more books from here or anywhere around the world that has cellular phone service.

Welcome to the latest installment of the Daniels' Minions Roundtable. The minions for this edition are Let's Talk Rangers writers Bo Reed and Matthew Irby, Rangers blogger Nick Simmons and KZNE The Zone's Stephen Rhodes.
In this edition the minions discuss Matt Harrison and Alexi Ogando, whether teaching Chris Davis to play the outfield is a good idea and roster moves the Rangers should make after watching the team over the first two weeks of the season.
1) Matt Harrison has been very sharp to start the season but we've all seen this before from Matt. Has he turned the corner or will he turn into a pumpkin in May?
Bo Reed
Count me in with the group of fans and bloggers who were both surprised and somewhat irritated that Harrison was put in the starting rotation regardless of his performance in spring training because we've all seen this movie before. Matt always starts off hot and then fades mid-season; you could literally set your calendar around it. However, it's not his numbers that have turned me completely around on Harrison, even though they are spectacular. It's his mound presence that has caught my attention.
This isn't the Harrison we've seen the past couple of seasons; the light appears to have finally come on. I forget which start this was, but Matt was in some trouble and had just been squeezed badly by the plate umpire. He responded by striking out the next batter with hard fastballs on the hands. It was a moment of pure defiance and displayed a killer instinct I've never seen out of him before. I know I could be setting myself up once again for another Harrison letdown, but I think this is finally the year he puts it all together.
Matthew Irby
I definitely consider myself one of Harrison's toughest critics. Too many times have we been teased by flashes of great pitching, only to be dashed by some stupid mistakes and frustrating outings. However, after three starts, I must agree there is something different about this guy. It has the feel as though he is figuring / has figured it out. I know that I could be setting myself up for heartbreak, but I believe Harrison has turned a corner. The question remains, for how long can he keep this up.
Nick Simmons
Let's briefly look at the progression of Matt since his 2008 debut. Harrison did not have two back-to-back games in 2008 where he allowed less than one run. In fact, he never even had back-to-back quality starts in 2008. He had two games that season that are comparable to his two this season: Aug 16 against Tampa (8.0 IP 0 ER 3 H 8 K 0 BB) and Sep 12 at Oakland (9.0 IP 0 ER 5 H 5 K 4 BB).
In Matt's 11 starts in 2009 he had just 2 quality starts, and they happened to be back-to-back starts: May 8 at the White Sox (9.0 IP 0 ER 4 H 5 K 1 BB) and May 14 against Seattle (9.0 IP 2 EP 5 H 7 K 0 BB). During the other 9 starts he only went over six innings one time. He averaged 97 pitches per start in 2009 (111 and 102 on the two complete games). Efficiency. By looking at those numbers, the two starts were when Matt was most efficient. He made 4 starts after the two complete games; in those games he averaged more earned runs (5.5) than he did innings pitched (~4.2).
In 2010, Matt started the season in the rotation, and got off to a hot start against two weak teams. His two first starts of the season (against Seattle and Cleveland respectively) he went 6.0 innings with 1 ER and followed it up with 7.0 innings and 1 ER. Then he imploded in his next two starts of April. He did put together one more solid start in his tenure as a starter in 2010, coming on May 1st: a quality start at Seattle.
In looking Matt's progression, this next start is the most important. His back to back solid outings (like we've seen in 2011) were all high pitch counts (all but one between 108-116). Could he just be getting worn out? Is it a mental issue? I read somewhere awhile back that Ranger pitchers had some offseason required reading, and either Holland slacked off or I misread, because in TR's notes from 4/20/11 he mentions that Holland has picked up some books from Matt: Mental Game of Baseball by Karl Kuehl and The ABC's of Pitching by Dr. Harvey Dorfman. It certainly seems that Matt made it a point to improve his mental game this offseason.
This past April 15th Matt did two things that he had never done before: he started a game at Yankee Stadium, and he put together his third consecutive quality (and if 'quality' is 6 innings with 3 runs, we can call his 2011 starts 'uber-quality' starts) start as he went 8 innings against the Bombers allowing only 1 ER. Certainly three starts do not make an ace nor do they instill ultimate unwavering confidence in the fan-base to maintain that production, but Matt is doing things he has never done before. I'm certainly excited to see him go out in the rubber match against the Angels tonight and a guy in Weaver who is one of the most underrated pitchers in the game. The AL strikeout leader in 2010 is also off to a great 2011 start. These two hot pitchers butt heads in Arlington tonight and I'm excited for it.
Stephen Rhodes
I think Harrison has hit his stride. He won't be perfect, but he will stay great as long as he doesn't struggle with injuries.
2) When the Rangers put Ogando in the rotation Nolan Ryan said it was going to be a temporary move, but Ogando has pitched like an ace through two starts. Of course it's early and the league will adjust to him, but should the Rangers start looking for an 8th inning guy, either in house or outside the organization?
Bo Reed
The Rangers should definitely start looking for another 8th inning guy and I think Pedro Strop is just the guy for the job. He's a power arm that has gained control of his arsenal and much like Ogando last year; he's gotten off to a great start. Strop is starting out exactly the same way Ogando did last year before he was put in the 8th inning role when Francisco started having injury problems. If the team puts Strop in the 8th inning, they can both keep Ogando in the rotation and have Oliver go back to his role in middle relief and situational left-hander.
Matthew Irby
It never hurts to start evaluating 8th inning, right-handed options now. I still think it's a month too early to decide if Ogando should remain a starter or return to 8th inning setup duties once the Rangers have a healthy Brandon Webb or Tommy Hunter. I might be in the minority here, but I move Ogando back to the 8th when the time comes, however once the season ends, I think Texas should take a long, hard look at Ogando as a starter. He is proving right now that he can handle the situation.

This would be incredibly difficult to predict since I've been blindsided by a lot of organization decisions in the past 6 months regarding pitchers. However, the depth of the Rangers goes much further in starting pitching than shutdown bullpen guys. The numbers of the current relievers should reflect some confidence (only Lowe has an ERA over 3.72), but those of us that watch don't seem to have complete confidence in anyone but Feliz. The question is whether Feldman, Hunter, Webb, or Hurley could make up the opportunity loss of putting Ogando back in the bullpen. Frankly, regardless of what the numbers say, I'm not sure I can take a full season of Oliver, Rhoades, and O'Day shutting down the 7th and 8th. It's kind of nerve racking. We also don't even know if Ogando can handle, physically, pitching 150+ innings; I think he can, but then again what do I know…
Lowe is in AAA, Kirkman got worked over against the Angels, and Tobin probably won't throw another pitch in a Rangers uniform as he left with elbow pain. If you're familiar with the injury history of this Rule 5 draft pick, then if he isn't finished for the season, then I can't imagine the Rangers can keep him on the roster for the entire season to keep from being offered back to the Angels. Strop has been alright this season and has the makeup for an 8th inning guy (with very similar credentials to Ogando). Wash will probably treat him like he did with Ogando last season and limit him to non-pressure situations.
That said, I still don't think Ogando will stay in the rotation. Even with the struggles of Colby Lewis, Ogando will still probably be the man bumped out at the next healthy alternative. Not only because of the need in the bullpen, but Ogando only really throws two pitches. So far this season, he has thrown his fastball 63.5% of the time and his slider 32.0% of the time. With just the two pitches, it's difficult to assume he can continue this success throughout a high number of starts.
JD is a smart man. I don't know who out there would be available. If he can find a guy to make the team better for now and in the future, I know he will.
The first third of the season is spent assessing the roster in place, the middle-third is dedicated to addressing team needs and roster weaknesses through trades and call-ups, and the final third is occupied by observing the results of their mid-season roster reconstruction
Stephen Rhodes
I think that even if they do keep Ogando in the rotation, that we are so stacked in pitching, that it will be someone else in house that will get the spot. I say that assuming that some guys get healthy. I don't feel good about Mark Lowe, and I'm not 100% comfortable with the older pitchers (Oliver and Rhodes). So if the banged up guys don't get better, then I will say yes go out and get someone. However, I do not think that he will stay in the rotation, and I hope that I am wrong.
3) The Rangers are reportedly going to start teaching Chris Davis how to play the corner outfield spots while serving a part-time role for the team while he learns the position. What are your thoughts?
Bo Reed
I don't like that they're doing this at the major league level and it just seems like trying to put a square peg in a round hole so I'm not wild about the idea. Mitch Moreland is the team's first baseman and doesn't need to break his routine playing right field so the Rangers can reward a player for a good spring training. The whole idea of having Davis on the major league roster is beyond ridiculous. Not to mention his trade value won't get any better riding the pine with the big league team. If the Rangers feel that Davis can play the outfield, fine. Send him to AAA, teach him how to play the outfield and if he proves to be good enough then call him up and maybe the Rangers can finally trade the guy.
Matthew Irby
I like the idea of teaching Davis both corner outfield spots. One, if he is used as trade bait for a mid-season starting or relief upgrade, having a player with strong AAA numbers that can play 1B, 3B, LF, and RF can and will go a long way. Two, if and this is a rather big "if", he puts the hitting together at the Major League level, then Texas would have another "super-utility" player that at any moment can go into the game and play half the positions in the field. There has and will never be any real concern about Davis' defense and I think that will hold true if he sees time in either corner outfield position. The problem has always been his hitting at the Major League level. He is the ideal AAAA hitter, but until he takes that next step, then anything and everything we can do to make his trade appeal look better is the best thing for the organization.
Nick Simmons
I haven't read much about this yet, but I'll take the same stance I have on Julio Borbon. The minor leagues are for learning and polishing defensive positions, not when games matter. However, anything they can do to make Davis more attractive to other teams, I am for (another reason to keep him raking in AAA). That's why I liked the idea of him trying out catcher as well.
Stephen Rhodes
I'd be all for it if they would have tested it out at Triple A. This is nuts to experiment like this. He won't be ready until Josh is back! Send him back to triple A for Gentry or some other OF, and test him out there.
4) Let's have some fun with the Rangers roster. What moves would you make, if any, after the first couple of weeks of the season?
Bo Reed
First I fix the mistake of replacing an outfielder with an infielder by sending Davis down and bringing up Doug Deeds. Sending Lowe down to AAA should hopefully bring some stability to the Rangers bullpen. It's not a roster move but I do want to say again that Strop needs to get his shot at the 8th inning setup role. I also talked to Matthew Irby about this during the series with the Yankees and I think the Rangers should look at closers on teams looking to sell at the deadline. The Rangers are moving Feliz into the rotation next year so why wait to find his replacement. Trade for a closer now; put him in the 8th inning setting up Feliz with the understanding he would take over as the closer in 2012. If the Rangers can find a closer still under contract for 2012 then an extension can be worked out over the winter instead of overpaying for a free agent closer on the wrong side of his prime.
Matthew Irby
Obviously there are some concerns with the bullpen; O'Day, Lowe, and Strop are all getting on my last nerves. I think, as stated above, if and when Texas moves Ogando back to the bullpen, things could begin looking a lot better. However the one move I would make right now is the promotion and Major League debut of Doug Deeds. Keep Davis at AAA and teach him the corner outfield positions there, and let the current Round Rock corner outfielder Deeds get his shot at the Bigs. I understand this would start the clock on Deeds MLB service time, but Texas has seen what Craig Gentry and Endy Chavez can do in the Majors, both are serviceable, but not and may never been consistent MLB players. Therefore, I would like to give Deeds his shot and let's see if he is the next David Murphy or not.
Nick Simmons
Well, I'm still not sure why we are playing with a short bench and why Davis is here instead of Chavez or Gentry. If Moreland can be the 4th outfielder, he can be the 7th inning guy too!! (I'm kidding but he was a pitcher back when). Now that Lowe has been sent down and Tobin is hurt, the club should bring up Gentry or Chavez to be the backup center fielder. This brings the bench back into balance, allows for a pinch runner in the late innings, and keeps Murphy out of center. The other night Ron made a 9th inning defensive replacement, moving Murph back to left and Borbon in center. Immediately, Borbon made a play that Murphy probably wouldn't have. I also wouldn't be devastated to get another catcher here in place of Davis to give us that optimum Napoli flexibility back again.
Right now things really aren't so bad. The guys are playing well and the pitching has been good. I give Ron Washington a lot of crap because I've been against a lot of his in-game decisions and don't see him as the best manager this team could have. He's a great coach, but I'm just not sure the team performs at best with him making decisions. Ceterius paribus, the move I want the most is getting another CF with the club. Ron can figure out his bullpen while waiting for Webb/Hunter/Feldman to be ready, but for right now, replacing Josh with another first baseman is just… Washington.
Stephen Rhodes
I want to keep Ogando in the rotation. I want to get another 8th inning guy. I want another OF. I'm happy other than that.

Dec. 15, Part
1 - Ten reasons why Texas will win the national
Sorry if this column sucks, it's not my fault … it would've been better, a LOT better, if some Tennessee hostesses had "interacted" with me before I wrote it.
Marge, the cop : "You have the right to remain silent."
Homer : "I choose to waive that right. YAHHHHHH … YAHHHHHH"
... No matter what you think about Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin and no matter what kind of success he has with the program, someday this is going to end badly. Very, very badly, and it's going to be very, very ugly, and Tennessee is going to end up owing Kiffin a lot of money to pay off the contract.
"She invites me up at twelve o clock at night, for coffee. And I don't go up. 'No thank you, I don't want coffee, it keeps me up. Too late for me to drink coffee.' I said this to her. People this stupid shouldn't be allowed to live." ... I want names. I want names, addresses, and two men with a big butterfly net and a truck with a padded back so that the rest of America can be saved from the 43 human beings who voted Tim Tebow first in the Heisman balloting.
Like Gore not being able to carry Tennessee ... To all those screaming about an East Coast bias when it came to the election of Ingram over Toby Gerhart, blame the Blueheads who gave their first place votes to Boise State QB Kellen Moore. He's actually not that bad a choice considering he leads the nation in passing efficiency completing 65% of his passes for 3,325 yards with 39 touchdowns and just three interceptions, but if those ten first placers all go Gerhart, the Stanford star wins the Heisman.
Mike: "Well, Bob, what can you do?" Bobby: "I can finger paint and glue things." ... When is some econ professor at a major university going to step up and call out non-revenue sports for sucking the life and the money out of cash-strapped universities? There's a hubbub at Texas after Mack Brown's salary was raised to $5 million a year, making him the highest paid head coach in college football. Like almost all universities, Texas has budget issues and has had to make some tough cuts, and now, Brown's contract is seen as poor timing and in bad taste considering all the other problems. When the football coach gets a raise and gets paid a salary that would be better spent on the academic side of things, feathers get ruffled. However, Texas football brought in $87 million in 2009 and Brown's ability to field winning teams has everything to do with that. Texas could have a lesser head coach who makes around $2 million a year, the football team might not have the same success, and the overall revenue brought in could be substantially less. But, of course, that's Econ 101.
Most FBS football programs led by someone with a brain will make money. While bowl games are usually break-even propositions after bringing the band, the secretaries, and everyone remotely associated with the team, the football side of things almost always takes care of itself. With the times being what they are, football programs are cutting costs to maximize the revenue; Boston College isn't taking the band to the Emerald Bowl. It's next step time. Reality needs to kick in and colleges and universities need to finally wake up and realize that non-revenue sports serve no purpose whatsoever. They don't rally the students, because few ever go to the games (hence the non-revenue part of the equation), they don't function as a major public relations boon for schools like football and basketball do, and they're simply not necessary when the profits made by the revenue producing sports could be put to far better use.
Mack Brown isn't the problem. It's what Mack Brown's football team is paying for that's the issue.
"You think I'm licked.
You all think I'm licked.
Well, I am not licked!
I'll stay and fight for this lost cause.
Even if this room
gets filled with lies like these."
... Don't assume that Congress is going to do anything about a college football playoff. For all the bluster, there's almost zero chance of a bill ever passing that would force a change, and if something really did get through, then the BCS schools would quickly change things around to make sure that its schools got the best spots and were in the best position to get all the dough. Either the BCS conferences would form some sort of uber-league, like a D-I-Plus while knocking out the non-BCSers, or it would come up with a playoff format that would keep the little guys out. No matter what happens, don't plan on the government to do anything.
Or as my five-year-old niece put so eloquently, girls go to college to get more knowledge, while boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider ... Cincinnati players and fans, there's this thing called the "Internet." On it, you can find out the latest news stories and articles on things that are of interest to you. This "Internet," along with all the other traditional media outlets, had been saying that Brian Kelly was one of the leading candidates for the Notre Dame gig for roughly a year. Had you been able to access and use this "Internet," then you might not be as shocked as dismayed
as you were over the loss of your head coach.
There's just no good way for a coach to leave a school. The team he's leaving will always feel spurned and bitter, even if he's taking off for a much better and much bigger opportunity. But isn't that what going to school is all about? Aren't you supposed to get some college so you can leave and go make big coin and/or be able to do what you want with your life? And really, would you feel that much better if he had been on the sidelines for the Sugar Bowl?
Kelly was in a no-win situation. Coaches can't even hint at wanting another job, because if they don't get it they're completely screwed when it comes to recruiting. So they can't be truthful and then everyone's feelings get hurt when they move on.
The only coaching departures in recent memory that went without a hitch were at Oregon, where Mike Bellotti stepped aside and Chip Kelly had a fantastic year, Wisconsin, where Barry Alvarez left a winning team and seamlessly passed the torch over to Bret Bielema, and Navy, where the success has continued under Ken Niumatalolo. Paul Johnson had done so much for the program that everyone seemed to be genuinely happy that he was getting his shot at Georgia Tech. Everyone else's most recent coaching change has come because of 1) a firing, 2) leaving for a bigger opportunity while hurting everyone's feelings, or 3) a retirement from a team that wasn't playing well (Florida State and Purdue fall into that category). Had Kelly been able to leave Cincinnati without some collateral damage, it would've bucked the trend.
Like Central Michigan collapsed when Kelly left before the bowl to go to UC ... What does Kelly's leaving prove definitively once and for all? Bowl games, including BCS games, don't
really matter in the scheme of the universe. National championships matter, and that's why Les Miles is still in Baton Rouge instead of Ann Arbor, but Orange Bowls aren't that big a whoop.
And if Florida State had a kicker, the movie would be about the program that couldn't win squat with all that talent ... So let's see if I properly understood the open-mouth kiss from director Billy Corben to his beloved Miami football team in his documentary,
The U.
1) The players didn't like to be seen as criminals and thugs and got mad whenever anyone suggested that Miami was an outlaw program.
2) Several players actually were criminals and thugs, but according to Corben and former quarterback Steve Walsh, when those delightful scamps were partaking in typical college hijinks, like stealing car stereos, they were simply "doing what they had to do."
3) They tried to break every NCAA rule in the book with Luther Campbell making this the most well paid team in the city (which everyone knew at the time, but the NCAA did nothing about).
4) The Dolphins apparently didn't matter to the city of Miami, even though there was some young Marino guy making the rest of the National Football League look ridiculous.
5) The players only played really well when they were able to prance, preen, and taunt, but …
6) … when they lost big games after prancing, preening, and taunting, they focused more on playing football and won national championships.
7) That silly Tad Foote. How dare he try to make the University of Miami an elite academic institution? Of course …
8) … Miami was a football school and only a football school, and to try to change that didn't show the proper respect to the players who should have monuments erected in their honor.
9) Yeah, yeah, yeah, the old players hang around and help the young guys in a type of fraternity (or a gang, as some of the old Canes called it). All the big teams have that. Miami has Michael Irvin, USC has Keyshawn Johnson.
And then there's that ridiculous, "It's a U thing; you wouldn't understand." Oh no, we all understand. What you at The U don't understand is that we all understood
what you think we didn't understand, and always did … understand?
We all understand that for around two decades, Miami assembled the greatest array of talent in college football history. We also understand that the Canes should've won seven national titles in a row but was a grossly underachieving 6-6 in bowl games from 1983 to 1994. We also understand that two of the four national titles during that era go bye-bye if Florida State could've hit a straight kick, and a third national title came in a year (1989) when the Noles won 24-10.
We also understand that two of the four national
titles go bye-bye if the coaches didn't go for the
glory with Tom Osborne choosing to go for two in
Nebraska's 1984 Orange Bowl loss and Bobby Bowden's
ill-fated decision to go for two in the classic 1987
loss (although, to be fair, the FSU kickers weren't
hitting a thing that game). We also understand that
considering the talent, this program pulled off some
of the biggest chokes of all-time starting with the
biggest collapse in NCAA history (at the time)
against Maryland in 1984, the national title loss to
Alabama in the 1993 Sugar Bowl, and the blowout loss
to Tennessee in the 1986 Sugar Bowl.Everyone understood that many of the top players came from impoverished backgrounds, which was nothing new for many college teams, and everyone also understood that the players assumed the stuffed-shirt world of college football didn't like The U because of the brashness, when in reality, the players played up the bad guy, rebel part because they wanted to and they thought it made them better. And then, the Canes took exception whenever anyone dared to call them out for trying to act all thuggish and commando. We all also understood that the entire persona of the program was hypocritical. Miami wanted and demanded respect on the field, which it always received, but it couldn't figure out why the establishment was so critical when the program far too often crossed the line between exuberant attitude and rule and law breaking. And at the time, it's not like Miami was the only program out there getting hammered for bad behavior. Oklahoma, the other main power program of the mid-to-late 1980s, was even more lawless and out of control, and it paid the price in the 1990s until Bob Stoops changed things around. And we also understand that the best of all the Hurricane teams, the 2001 version, didn't need all the excess garbage, and that Randy Shannon is rebuilding Miami into a potential powerhouse again
built on discipline. That's not to say that the old Hurricane teams weren't more fun or more colorful; but we all understand that they won because they were better at playing football than everyone else.
Or, the NCAA could realize that taking $100 from a hyped-up fan really isn't that big a deal ... Alright you vacate-happy NCAA. If you're going to try to strip wins from Florida State and Oklahoma, then after watching The U., isn't it time to all but erase everything Miami football accomplished during its pre-Butch Davis dynasty? I don't think the NCAA should ever take wins out of the record books, and I certainly don't think the Miami wins should be vacated, but if the NCAA is going to be consistent, then bu-bye to those four national titles from 1983 to 1991. But, of course, that would mean the NCAA would have to take an honest look at the Bear Bryant Alabama teams, the Barry Switzer Oklahoma teams, the John Wooden UCLA hoops teams, and just about everyone who has ever won a national title.
And I'm still pushing for GameDay to come broadcast from my breakfast nook, but my daughter would mistake Herbstreit for the Ken doll she just got as a holiday gift and would try to force him to make smoochies with all her Barbies. … It's Week Eight of my open lobbying of the ESPN College Football Final show guys to give me a helmet sticker and the signed T-shirt, suitable for framing. Why do I deserve one this week? Actually, I don't. The guy in front of me at the bookstore's free gift-wrapping table accidentally put $20 in the jar to help buy books for abused kids living in a shelter when he meant to put in a five. When the lady offered to open the jar to give him back his 20, he told her no and instead put in another 20. Happy holidays, and thanks to everyone out there who makes the world a little bit better … even if it isn't acknowledged with a sticker.
8 Maids-A-Milking … That same guy was earlier looking at Playboy's subtly-titled special edition called, simply, Boobs, tucked inside a copy of Time. He came within three seconds of getting busted by the wife.

Economists are predicting a so-so Christmas shopping season this November and December. Others are predicting a better year, and a few doom and gloomers say it could be about the same or worse than it was in 2011.
Alas, trying to predict the spending behavior of Americas shoppers is like trying to predict what the weather will be months from now. Its just hard, if not impossible, to do. No one will know for sure until we get there.
What economists and chambers of commerce can predict with absolute certainty today about tomorrow is how important Christmas sales will be to the health of the local economy, to jobs and job security.
Money spent at home, more often than not, stays at home. Money spent elsewhere, whether in another community or in cyberspace via the ever-growing World Wide Web, stays elsewhere. That cant be emphasized enough.
The investments we make at home, be it through the purchase of new clothes, used cars or replacement appliances, show up everywhere, including in the paychecks of thousands of residents, both part-time and full-time workers.

A rich cleansing bar that is definitely a soap. Leave skin feeling clean yet moisturised
Évaluation du service : Took a while to arrive, but have to take into account the Christmas post.
Produit : After a week of use, skin already looks brighter and pores tighter. Slightly drying. Over packaged. For the price it would be nice to have a small container to hold bar in use, like Clinique do.

This review is from: Crofton's Fire (Hardcover)
Let me explain!
The novel is very good, and has the potential of a good film script... but mainly is very well written, with good atmosphere and even bearable "slang"...
But, and it's an important BUT for me!, I think the novel would'nt have suffered a bit for a little more historical acuracy... all records says the body of G.A.Custer had TWO bullet wounds (ONLY TWO!) one in the front (breast) one in the temple..., I do not mind a bit if the author embraces the thesis of mass suicide (I do not believe it happened that way (mass suicide I mean!) but probably some of the troopers and officers at the LBH kept the last bullet for themselves...); but I nearly stoped reading after such ludicrous afirmation as Custer been shot in the back MANY TIMES! by his men, and even the silly (for unnecesary) reference of Crofton been part of a detail guarding wagons! (there were not wagons at the LBH!, only a mule pack train!)...
You see, I do not understand why this gratuitous mistakes... It could have been perfectly posible to adapt the plot of the novel to reality (I mean Custer could have been shot in the front by an enraged soldier for fiction sake, and even administered a shot in the temple afterwards... and change the mention of wagons for mule pack... and there you are... fans of history and specially the LBH would'nt have been so disapointed in the first few pages! (I nearly throw the book to the bin after 20 pages!... but curiosity (and the price) kept me reading on...)
I am by now reading the middle part of the book, and it's very good (I am slightly afraid of what would happen with the zulu war (military speaking)... but I do not care as long as the novel is good, but why not be accurate as G.McD. Fraser FLASHMAN? tapestry???).
STILL RECOMMENDED AS A GOOD READ (but please for those like me be more EXACT on ready available INFO on your next novel... that makes the background a BETTER READ!)
PS: OK, I have finished the book... and the novel is still rated at 3 stars... but the connoiseurs of zulu wars will be very much dissapointed with the ultrafictional aproach and faulty historic background from the historical miltary point of view... britons specially.... How awfully good it could have been if research would have been more accurate...

This review is from: Crofton's Fire (Hardcover)
The reviewer who expressed concern that Crofton's Fire was light on military detail has a point. That said, the point is moot. Neither Flashman nor Crofton is, essentially, about military history. The contrast between Flashman and Crofton is, though, a very interesting one.
While the action in Crofton's Fire occurs during various exotic and pedestrian military assignments and engagements of the post- Civil War period, this fine novel is really not about the particulars of military history. Although the developing technology of military killing is central to Crofton's experience and reflection, the novel is not centered on battlefield tactics or weaponry and so forth.
The action of Crofton's Fire is centered on the coming into adulthood of Crofton. The theme here is the difficult but real possibility of building a self, a manhood in this case, in a world of death and dying and doing so without being defined by the horrors of one's time or by the pursuit of the opportunities inherent in skirting those horrors.
Flashman, on the other hand, defines his manhood through pursuit of his ambitions, and by doing whatever it takes to realize them. Crofton, quite the opposite, builds his manhood by transcending ambitions or, put another way, by constraining his ambitions in service to what he regards as higher causes: development of a sense of self-worth, humility, loyalty to his comrades, creating a loving family.
The beauty of Crofton's Fire lies in the reader's sense that Crofton's struggle to manhood appears to happen naturally, not easily, but naturally, without the didactic quality of an overt morality play. It is rare that a moral hero avoids being repugnantly good. Crofton does.
Who would deny that Flashman is a marvel, a unique, engaging rogue, illuminating history while manipulating his way through it? His compass points unerringly to money and fame.
Crofton is closer to Everyman. Unlike Flashman, he begins his career with no agenda at all except to do what the army assigns him to do. No guile, no real ambition, no direction, no compass to follow. Thus his journey to a full, adult self is a very different one from Flashman's. By the time Crofton understands his role in life, he finds it to be a moral one. He has found it through experience rather than bringing it TO experience.
The author of Crofton's Fire works in the delicate and difficult territory of the emerging human heart. Here, living and feeling and maturing into adulthood are not planned and not guaranteed. Failure is always an option.
One might say these two gentlemen, Flashman and Crofton, create radically different solutions to the same problem, to wit, becoming an adult. Flashman has a running start because he knows straight off where he is headed, and he forces his way to the self he has defined as his destiny. For Crofton, this is not so. All is in doubt as he lives his unpredictable life, finding out only well along the way who he has become and the special value and gratification in that.
For this reader, it is wonderful to have these alternatives so nicely drawn. Read Flashman and read Crofton, and don't feel compelled to diminish either by denigrating the one or the other. We certainly know our share of [not so clever, it is true] Flashmans, but fewer Croftons. It is ours to choose whom to admire and who to be.
3.0 out of 5 stars decent book--but not flashman,
David W. Straight (knoxville, tennessee United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crofton's Fire (Hardcover)
There is a reasonable selection of good fiction by 20th century
authors about 19th century military life: Cornwell's Sharpe books,
Saunders' Fenwick Travers series, and Fraser's excellent Flashman
novels. There are also innumerable potboilers, and I'm not
including here the naval side of the military. Crofton's Fire is a
decent, well-written novel that incorporates military action from
the Little Bighorn to the Zulu War--quite a lot of military action
but not a lot of the detail that helps distinguish the previously-
mentioned novels. For me, an important question is always "Do I
want to reread this book? If yes, 1 year later? 2 years? Or
do I take this book down to the local used-book dealer and sell
it?" I also ask myself when I finish the book "How much of what
I've just read do I remember?" When I first read Fraser's
Flashman, many years ago, I knew I wanted to reread it within a
year, and I was annoyed that there was only this first book
available at that time. With Cornwell's Sharpe books, I'm
hanging on to the ones I have, and will eventually reread them--
but I have not bought the most recent ones in the series. I'll
keep Crofton's Fire, and I'd like to see the next in what might
be a series.
With the Flashman and Sharpe books, there is a lot of detail
about the military actions--both authors expected to be writing
a lot of novels in the series, so they did not feel a need to
cover a large number of different battles in a single book.
These books consequently give a good flavor for military life,
weapons, strategy/tactics, etc. We'll have to see where the
Crofton series goes in this regard--I would have preferred more
Crofton starts as a Lieutenant (graduated from West Point)--
well-taught, well-trained, brave, a good fellow. No adultery,
an occasional drinking bout, no cheating at cards, etc. By
contrast, Flashman's father buys him a commission to get him out
of the house, and Flashman happily drinks, practices lechery
wholeheartedly, cheats, toadies, avoids battles (unsuccessfully,
usually winding up in the thick of the fighting)--not what you'd
call a good fellow. The problem here is that Flashman is a
whole lot more fun than Crofton, and seems more easy to relate
to as well. You would prefer your sister to marry Crofton, but
you'd rather spend time yourself with Flashman. Character flaws
can help make someone more human--even the noble Hornblower
was prone to a bit of adultery at times.
It will be interesting to see the next Crofton novel, and to see
if Crofton develops a flaw or two....
5.0 out of 5 stars A SURE BET FOR A PULITZER,
Charles Newman (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crofton's Fire (Hardcover)
Crofton's Fire is a winner! With prose that flows like clear water over white rocks, the plot is enticing and terrifying, but it's the fiber of the book that is truly amazing: in an age of cardboard heroes, Lieutentant Michael Crofton is the real thing. He embodies all those American verities that we've come to admire: courage, honor, duty. And on top of that, he is a wonderful husband completely in love with his beautiful young wife and as loving a father as to be found in all of literature. The book is so good it's amazing to think it's Coplin's first novel. There's action enough to satisfy the most red-blooded male reader and a sincerity and sensitivity to satisfy the most discriminating woman. It's a book for every gender, with red, white and blue thrown in. The moral dilemma of a young American soldier in an excruciating environment makes this a must read for any soldier in Iraq or anyone who has relatives there. And on top of that, it's a darned good read.
5.0 out of 5 stars A very good book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crofton's Fire (Hardcover)
I'm a nut for historic fiction and I was very excited about this book's release. It had been hyped up to me by a few friends, so when I read it, my expectations were high. And I wasn't disappointed.
Coplin's writing style is addictive - I hardly put this book down, and it only took me a day or so to read it. So much happens in this novel. There isn't really a dull moment. Even when Crofton isn't fighting in a war, it's still exciting. Crofton is a really likable character as well, because he's like a flawed hero. He has real problems just like all of us do, so you can really identify with him throughout the book. There are crazy twists that are just exciting.
I really loved this book. I think it's unfair to compare it to other works because this book is really one of a kind. It's an addictive read, with a great story and terrific writing. You should definitely check this one out.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Soldier's Story,
Yvette (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crofton's Fire (Hardcover)
Amazing to think that this is Coplin's debut novel.
He writes spare, perfectly paced prose as if he were a seasoned pro.
CROFTON'S FIRE begins in the middle of battle, at the Little Big Horn where Custer meets his well-deserved - and in Coplin's hands, surprising - fate. Thereafter, we follow Crofton, an honorable soldier wading through often dishonorable times, as he does his valiant duty. From the wild, wild west to the savage killing fields of Zululand, South Africa, Crofton moves through history, an honorable man for all seasons. Told in crisp, clear, unsentimental and often heart wrenching prose, this is a historical novel without the usual overdoes of overblown language. Slightly reminiscent of LITTLE BIG MAN and maybe even, FORREST GUMP or Woody Allen's film ZELIG, this is a book to be treasured.
I stayed up all night reading it and I suggest you do the same.
4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, fast reading.,
"azkuke" (Cave Creek, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crofton's Fire (Hardcover)
I picked this book up to read on a plane trip and it kept my interest even after the flight. I didn't buy it for historical fact, so I was primarily hoping the characters and story would be interesting. I wasn't disappointed. The characters were colorful & engrossing. The story moved along at an entertaining and engaging pace and was over before I knew it. The main character, Crofton, had substance and was mildly thought provoking. Overall a good read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Attention Lonesome Dove Fans...,
"rdwos" (Lansing, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crofton's Fire (Hardcover)
Imagine a faster-paced version of Lonesome Dove, focusing on one man instead of a group of characters, and you'll have some idea of how good Crofton's Fire is. Crofton, the narrator, has a unique, funny and thoroughly entertaining voice. There's plenty of humor, some social commentary, and several very touching scenes. I was sorry when this book ended!
5.0 out of 5 stars A surprise,
John Bowes (Oxford, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crofton's Fire (Hardcover)
At first, the book feels insubstantial, too light. Then the spare, lean language flowing like water drags you along to deeper meaning. At the end genuine emotion appears, surprising the reader that this work could produce the result. A very good book.

Hello! My name is Madeleine!
I'm an 19-year-old dork who loves cartoons and animation. Really, they've taken over my life, aha.
I'm very forgetful, so don't be afraid to remind me if I missed something! I'm also extremely quiet to the point of being a selective mute, so it takes a lot of courage for me to talk to others, so please don't feel offended if I don't speak to you of my own accord. Chances are I'd be happy to converse with you, I've just been too scared to initiate a conversation.
Be warned, though. Once I'm comfortable with you, I'll become the most talkative, awkward weirdo ever, so think it through before you attempt to befriend me
I like cartoons a lot, as well as Doctor Who and Manga/Anime.
I'm quite inactive here, unfortunately. I draw quite a lot, it's just that I don't tend to upload stuff, mostly because I feel my art is sub-par. Perhaps once I get a bit better at humans I'll gain more confidence? *shrug*

Diamond League: Jonnie Peacock wants more Paralympic events
Paralympics 100m champion Jonnie Peacock has called on athletics chiefs to include more Paralympic events in Diamond League meetings.
Peacock, T44 title-winner in London, said the Paralympics proved there was an appetite for disability sport.
Paralympic events do take place at Diamond League meetings but there is not full integration.
"Incorporating Paralympic sport into the Diamond League and giving it air-time, that's the aim," said Peacock.
"The British public like watching the Paralympics. You wouldn't sell 80,000 tickets every single day for every single session if people didn't enjoy watching Paralympic sport.
Peacock's progress
- Born: 28, May 1993
- 1998: Has right leg amputated
- 2008: Attends Paralympic talent identification event
- 2010: Fifth in first Paralympic World Cup race
- 2011: Breaks T44 100m European record
- 2012: Lowers T44 100m world record to 10.85 seconds, before winning Paralympic gold in a Games-record time
"My race had the highest viewing figures during the whole Paralympics - 6.3m people tuned in - so that shows people like watching races like that.
"So TV are now looking at that and thinking, 'people do enjoy watching it, maybe we should start putting on some events'.
"Not just sticking it in there for the sake of it - 'here's our Paralympic event, aren't we kind, aren't we amazing' - but thinking, 'these are good athletes, it's going to be a great race to watch'. Hopefully that's something we'll see happen next year."
Peacock, 19, ran 10.9 seconds in beating his hero Oscar Pistorius into fourth place at the Paralympics but believes he could run as quick as 10.6 next season.
"I was in great form at the Paralympics and I should have run a lot quicker than I did," the Cambridge sprinter, whose world record is 10.85, told BBC Sport.
"There's never the perfect race but from the times I had been doing in training I should have been able to take at least two-tenths of a second off that time, maybe three.
"That's why I'm saying stick these events in the Diamond League so we've got more chance of racing on better tracks and with more adrenalin.
"We'll start putting some great times out and we'll start seeing Paralympic events being pushed forward and being more competitive."
