HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By James Swift, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 10 February 2014 12:45PM
The 60-second TV spot, which airs on ITV tonight, paints a picture of TSB as a bank dedicated to serving the people and local businesses of Britain.
The animated ad opens by declaring that, "TSB isn't like other big banks", and then goes on to say how the bank does not invest abroad and instead uses its funds to give mortgages and loans to local people who can then put it back in the community.
As this is all being explained, the animation shows the cycle of money: a couple borrowing money, builders renovating the couple's house and then one of the builders buying his daughter a bike. The spot ends with the line, "Local banking for Britain".
Joint created the ad, which was devised by Damon Collins and directed by Marc Craste through Studio AKA. The TV campaign follows print work and a cinema campaign, which featured the voice of actor Sir Patrick Stewart and told the story of the bank's founder, Reverend Henry Duncan, released in September 2013.
TSB returned to the high street as an independent brand in September 2013, after its parent, Lloyds Banking Group, was forced to split with 631 of its 1,931 branches in order to comply with EU competition rules after the bank was bailed out by the state.

Ok first thing Ps4 is looking very impressive, I don't feel I'm a fan-boy cause i own basically every console. But one thing that irritates me is that Sony is advertising remote play a la Super mario bros u, and everybody is screaming Wii u killer! But is there any communication back and fourth like the Nintendoland games? Mario chase and the luigi mansion games are a blast with 5 players. I have not seen any talk of the vita being used in this way. Ps4 is basically just remote play.... that's a big difference than Wii U using your remote for inventory and such in zombi u.

I'm so glad the console wars are back. And no, Sony's remote play isn't the thing that's going to kill the WiiU. It's the lack of titles that's going to kill the WiiU, if it dies at all.

I feel like asymmetrical gameplay is way less relevant to most people. It requires a very specific situation to pull off correctly (specifically, a handful of people over).

I really doubt that having two different screens is really going to be "the next great innovation". Like all of Nintendo's (terrible!) gimmicks, it's just something that they're going to mess with and everyone else might have a token acknowledgement of it (like a map or something).
Meanwhile, remote play... now that's an interesting proposition. I don't at all mind using that back touchpad on the Vita as R2 and L2 buttons.

The remote play of streaming a PS4 game to the Vita is impressive if it actually flawlessly works but I don't see myself at all using it and I'd rather not switch back and forth between PS4 controller and Vita or tablet. So no it is not the Wii U killer with the remote play feature.

Max Scherzer twists ankle
Updated: October 2, 2012, 7:06 PM ETAssociated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Max Scherzer's shoulder appears to be fine. His right ankle is another issue.
The Tigers' right-hander will miss his start in the regular-season finale in Kansas City after twisting it during the on-field celebration of Detroit's AL Central title Monday night.
Manager Jim Leyland said Tuesday that someone apparently stepped on Scherzer after the Tigers had streamed out of the dugout and were jumping into a joyous pile behind the pitcher's mound.

RE: Nolan Hinson
Yes, after finding him on F A G I sent his navy friend a link and told him the news that his friend had passed away.
I see his brother and father served in the service as well. His friend has a photo of Nolan in uniform with friends from 1963. Is there room for another photograph?

RE: Allred family
Thank you so much for doing that and for your kind words. I have been working on Ridge Park for a while. A bigger job than I thought it was going to be. Just a drop in the bucket compared to all the work you have put in there and so many others. At my age I have to really focus on what I'm doing or I get confused...LOL
I have so many family members buried in Ridge Park so I decided to do what I can. Didn't realize how large it was.
Thanks again, I appreciate it very much.
Have a blessed holiday weekend.

Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Transported to an emergency room, a nurse rushes to revive Dr. Gideon and stabilize his vitals, but the "unconscious" man slowly picks the locks of his handcuffs and frees himself. When the nurse turns around, it's already too late. Will and Jack are called to the scene, where they meet a doctor in the facility. Dr. Gideon has been placed back in his holding cell, but his murder of the nurse is beyond gruesome. Will finds the dead nurse lying on a gurney, privacy poles protruding out of her in all directions like spears. The in-house doctor tells Will he thinks the reason they failed to catch the Chesapeake Ripper was because they already had him...
In his head, Will Graham envisions the exact way in which Dr. Gideon killed his nurse. Gideon's been in custody, so Will knows he hasn't killed anyone on the outside for at least two years. Flashing back, Jack realizes the timelines converge around the same time he lost his best young agent, Miriam Glass. She might've been the last one Gideon killed before his incarceration. Alana Bloom meets with the hospital's Dr. Chilton about Gideon, as she plans to interview him soon to study his mind. Alana's researched Gideon in the past, but Dr. Chilton lets her know Gideon seems to be very familiar with her - Gideon's given her a lot of thought.
Alana Bloom sits down and conducts an interview with Dr. Gideon, who is behind not only bars, but also a bulletproof glass enclosure. Gideon doesn't understand what she hopes to gain from speaking to him, since it's obvious he did it. Alana begins to inquire into Gideon's motivations for the crime and uncovers they seem to be sexual in nature. Gideon is also now elevating his murders to an "art form." When Alana calls into question Gideon's claim of being the Chesapeake Ripper, since the Ripper usually brutalizes his victims during - not after - Gideon says he doesn't need to prove anything to her. Bloom thinks that's exactly what he needs to do.
Jack makes an unexpected visit to Hannibal's office. His wife won't open up to him about her struggle with cancer, and Jack hopes Hannibal will help fill him in. But Dr. Lecter must respect his patient confidentiality agreement and reveals little more than a basic comfort - telling Jack his wife still loves him. Jack thinks about her pending death constantly and is broken up about it. Hannibal sees this as a dreading of loss. In a flashback, Jack relives a memory of his lost coworker Miriam. They investigated the Chesapeake Ripper case together, and Jack encouraged Miriam to go after the serial killer with everything she had. Back in Hannibal's office, it's clear Jack still harbors regret for putting his pupil in the line of fire.
In forensics, Will questions the assumption that Dr. Gideon is the Chesapeake Ripper - the nurse murder has the look of a ripper crime, but it doesn't have the feel... Will thinks this is plagiarism. Later that night, Jack is awoken from his sleep by a shocking call from Miriam, begging for his help. Jack tells the forensics team about the call, and everyone expresses skepticism, since Miriam's been presumed dead for two years. Jack thinks Will's plagiarism theory is accurate and that the real Ripper recorded Miriam's voice two years ago and played it back for Jack last night to taunt him. But Will isn't convinced; after all, Miriam's body was never recovered...
Jack comes up with a risky idea that might force the Ripper to make a careless maneuver and reveal himself to the FBI. Right now Dr. Gideon is just "rumored" to be the Chesapeake Ripper, but if they used Freddie Lounds to confirm Gideon as the infamous killer, the real - and still elusive - one might act out to regain the spotlight. Will thinks this strategy might just cause an otherwise avoidable death, but the FBI brings Freddie in anyway and pitches her the idea. They want her to confirm her previous report of the Ripper's identity being Dr. Gideon, and in return, they'll help make sure her byline is featured in every major newspaper around the country. Freddie ponders the purpose, but ultimately can't resist the notoriety.
As part of her deal with the FBI, Freddie Lounds interviews Dr. Gideon behind bars and posts her official confirmation article online hours later. In his office, Hannibal reads Freddie's blog with a sense of unspoken knowledge in his eyes. Later, with Jack, Dr. Gideon still won't back off his claim of being the Chesapeake Ripper. Gideon admits to killing Miriam all those years ago, though he tells Jack he never meant to; when Jack asks why Gideon didn't put her on display, Gideon doesn't know what makes Jack think he didn't. Suddenly, Jack's phone rings and Miriam's same, recorded call begging for help plays again...
Forensics traces the cryptic call back to Jack's home, and a crime scene investigation reveals the Ripper was all over Crawford's bedroom. There are prints everywhere and even a stray hair resting on the pillow of Jack's wife. He is furious - the taunting is one thing, but the invasion of privacy, the presence in his own bedroom, is too much to handle. When Brian Zeller runs the prints, he stops dead in his tracks. The national database has them as Miriam Glass' - she was the one in Jack's bedroom. But that can't be... she's been dead for two years.
Alana Bloom and Dr. Chilton converse over dinner with Hannibal at Dr. Lecter's home. Bloom wonders aloud if Dr. Chilton inadvertently planted the idea of Dr. Gideon being the Ripper into his own, psychotic patient's mind. Perhaps his persistent pressing of the issue led his inmate to assume the identity for himself. Chilton strongly disagrees with this statement; Dr. Gideon is definitely the Ripper. Alana asks if she can interview Gideon one more time, just to make sure, and Chilton allows it. In the kitchen, Hannibal tells Dr. Chilton he would've done the same thing if he were in his situation, using psychic driving on an inmate. Chilton is offended by the implication.
Alana sees Dr. Gideon as a manipulated inmate and offers to help him out, if he promises to be trustworthy with her moving forward. In the waiting room, Will Graham and Dr. Chilton get to know each other while they wait for Alana to finish her interview. Back in the cellblock, Dr. Gideon says he doesn't need Alana's help, just as the lights begin to flicker, and all the inmates' cells inexplicably open up. Alana stands up in abject horror, afraid one of the madmen will attack her due to the vulnerability of her state. Luckily, all the guards apprehend the inmates before they get to her. All the inmates that is, except for Gideon, who's standing right next to her...
Seeing the power go out, Will rushes down to check on Alana, who is sitting stoically in Dr. Gideon's cell as the inmate looks on at her; the cell is surrounded by guards, and Alana slowly backs out of it before the guards rush in and handcuff Gideon. Alana tells Will that Gideon rushed her into his cell to protect her from the other inmates; would the Ripper do that? Will thinks, when he ponders it, the Ripper actually might. When Dr. Chilton inexplicably shows up far too late, Will and Alana blame him for setting the whole thing up, and using Alana as the bait for Gideon.
Alone with Hannibal, Jack thinks the Ripper is using the bait of Miriam being alive as a means of clouding his judgment with the prospect of hope. Hannibal encourages Jack not to lose hope in his wife - she's lost it, which means he needs to be optimistic all the more. Dr. Lecter then asks Jack to tell him about Miriam, but in a flashback, it's revealed that Miriam once went to Hannibal during her investigation to inquire about the Ripper. Hannibal may have a connection to a recent victim. When Hannibal offers to check his notes on the second floor of his office, Miriam peruses his desk and notices a sketch that perfectly resembles the victim's wounds in the most recent crime. Realizing Hannibal's the Ripper, Miriam panics as Hannibal grabs her and strangles her to death.
Will and Beverly follow up on the latest call from Miriam made to Jack's phone. In an old, abandoned observatory, Will and Beverly discuss Miriam's final whereabouts, and how she was investigating surgeons related to the Ripper's victims. Jack says Dr. Gideon wasn't the one who was in his bedroom, and reveals his latest taunting call came affixed with an actual number. When Jack calls back, the phone is heard ringing within range. Will, Jack and Beverly enter the observatory, and find a severed arm holding the phone used to call Jack. Next to the arm is a card, with the words "What Do You See?" written on it...

After our stop at this nice Auberge on the way to Imilchil we decided to head south to the dunes in Merzouga, via the Tordra Gorge in Tinerhir.
After leaving the Auberge we found a fuel stop and then continued along mostly tarmac roads. According to the "Morocco Overland" book this was one of highest roads you can cross in the Atlas.
Tomas enjoying the view
Two French families stopped here too to enjoy the view. I asked the father who was driving the red Land Cruiser about his car. "It's still new, only 200,000Km!". He said you can easily get aver 600,000Km out of these tough Japanese engines.
GPS showing 2658 meters altitude on route R703
Berber village on the way to Todra Gorge. Finally starting to see some green again as we're coming out of the Atlas
These kids were bugging us for more free stuff but I decided to take it easy with them, got off the bike and has some funny conversations with them. They were cool kids. Here is one of then wearing my Shoei
The others rode ahead while Seba and I took it easy getting to the Gorge, snapping lots of pictures along the way. The scenery was getting more and more spectacular. This is the cool thing about Morocco, every day the scenery changes and you never, ever get bored of the views
Note how small the car looks in perspective!
More Berber villages as we exited the Todra Gorge
As usual, we didn't make it to our planned destination of Merzouga, so we stayed the night in Erfoud. We rode for several hours in the dark and could just about tell that the landscape was flattening out again. We started seeing our first warning signs for "Dunes de Sable" (sand dunes) and there was sand on either side of the tarmac road.
Driving the dark was ok when we all stuck together cause the combined lights from all the bikes light the road up quite well. But sooner or later we would start driving at different tempos and you'd find yourself having to rely on your own lights, which made things a bit more stressful. Cars, bikes, bicycles and pedestrians all over this road ... without any lights. You need to keep your eyes peeled and your speed down. During my last minute shopping session at home a friend forced me to buy a reflective jacket and stickers that lit up my bike like a UFO, for which I was now thanking her a lot. (She also forced me to take her Thermarest "No, No I won't need it! Take it anyway! I needed it about half the of all the nights - thanks again Sophe!)
When we got to Erfoud it was pitch black and sand was blowing everywhere, just stopping and chatting for a few minutes and feel the sand grinding between your teeth and in your helmet. We decided to spend the night in Erfoud to keep things safe. I wouldn't recommend staying in this town, nothing to see and everyone was being pushy, trying to sell us camel tours in the desert, which was not far away now.
In the morning we headed straight out to Merzouga and had a tasty breakfast in Rissani. We're now in a very different place: people's skin was darker, there was sand everywhere, more palm trees and temperature over 30 Celsius. Finally some heat!

Natchez tourism faces challenges
NATCHEZ, Miss. (AP) — Natchez's African-American history is rich — from site of the nation's second largest slave market to the pulpit from which America's first black senator preached, and those sites are just on St. Catherine Street.
Much of that history remains largely untold, even inaccessible.
The stories of African Americans in Natchez are woven throughout the city in a complex, diverse and intricate web. Tourism experts agree the stories are ones tourists would be interested in hearing.
"The challenge you have in Natchez is that there is so much rich history and assets that it's easy for someone to say, 'Well where do we begin?'" tourism research consultant Berkeley Young said. "How it is now, Natchez can be a scavenger hunt of picking from all these different tours or driving around town until you see something."
Young and his colleagues spent eight months studying the Natchez tourism market to help give recommendations for a new strategic plan intended to help bring more tourism dollars to the city.
Among the largest untapped tourism locations in Natchez are the numerous sites where pivotal moments in African-American history have taken place, said Cheryl Hargrove, a heritage and cultural tourism consultant for the project.
Promoting those sites to a national and international audience, Hargrove said, could easily make Natchez a cultural heritage tourism destination.
"Part of heritage destinations is bringing dynamic, relevant stories to customers and allow them to look at various time periods all in one place," Hargrove said. "And to me, that's an area I feel like Natchez has a great opportunity to do."
The first step to making Natchez a heritage tourism destination, Hargrove said, is to create a community consensus of what places and locations should be opened to the public and then figure out how to tell the stories of those places creatively.
"The whole purpose of tourism is to get people to spend more and stay longer, but you also want them to come back because there were too many more stories for them to hear or experience," Hargrove said.
A visitor interested in hearing the stories of Natchez's African-American history would likely first be directed to the Natchez Association of Afro-American Culture Museum, which serves as a hub for the city's heritage tourism efforts.
NAPAC Director Darrell White sees the museum playing an important role in a community that sometimes fails to showcase portions of its past.
"The black community and its presence has been in this community since the beginning, but somehow we continue being relegated to the background or our contributions are not even mentioned," White said. "As our present tourism offerings have begun to show a decline in visitation and revenue, the time has come to place some emphasis in some of the undeveloped areas of our history to capitalize in this area."
Some of those areas range from developing major locations, such as the Forks of the Road slave market site, to simply telling more of Natchez's untold stories, such as that of John R. Lynch, a house servant at Dunleith who became one of the strongest African-American political voices in post-Civil War America.
The Forks of the Road site is the only place in Natchez that has received international recognition by the United Nations because of its role in the international slave trade.
Friends of the Forks of the Road Coordinator Ser Seshsh ab Heter-C.M. Boxley said the site is often considered part of Natchez's "dark past" but shouldn't be.
"I don't consider telling the story of a group of people overcoming racism, segregation and slavery as negative," Boxley said. "It's more negative if you're not telling those stories.
"I don't know if it's fear, guilt, pain or any of those things, but there needs to be some letting go by the people of Natchez, and the way to do that is embrace the history and tell the complete story."
The Y-shaped intersection where nearly 2,000 slaves a year were brought to be sold leaves much to the imagination for visitors. A few plaques describing the slave market's operations stand at the site.
"The site is comparable to other great historical sites, but the way it looks now — it's just a highway interchange," Young said. "Most people can describe how a plantation would look just from seeing it in the movies, but my imagination can't fill in the blanks of what a slave trading post would look like, because it's so foreign to me."
The consultants said the community must offer a wide variety of storytelling mediums if it wants to become a heritage tourism destination.
White was once among those entrepreneurs when passengers of the Delta Queen steamboat became tired of arriving at cities along the Mississippi River and only being given a portion of their history.
"When those people asked what Natchez had to offer and were told about it having the largest concentration of antebellum-period houses in the Deep South, they said, Stop. We can see a house anywhere we dock along the river. What else do you have?'
"At that point they were told about our extensive African-American history, to which they said, 'Tell us more,'" White said.
From those conversations, White created a nearly three-hour bus tour that began at Natchez Under-the-Hill and would take passengers throughout the city.
The tour would stop at well-known locations such as the William Johnson House, the site of the Rhythm Night Club Fire, a number of churches and other locations.
The tour stopped when the Delta Queen was no longer sailed down the Mississippi River.
White said he believes a similar tour could easily be created and offered through the museum or other city partners.

1896 Cent Pattern, Judd-1767A, PR651896 1C One Cent, Judd-1767A, Pollock-1981, Low R.7, PR65 NGC. 46.0 grains. Charles Barber's pattern for a uniform coinage in the cent and nickel denominations. The obverse has a shield as the central design element, crossed poles behind, one has a liberty cap atop and the other an eagle. E PLURIBUS UNUM, 13 stars, and the date are at the margin. The reverse is simply laid out with the denomination in the center, an olive wreath around, and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at the margin. While these pieces are supposed to be pure nickel, in this case a metallurgical analysis was done by NGC and the content is very close: 97% nickel, 1% iron, and 1% copper. The fields are subdued with little of the reflectivity one would expect from a proof striking. Struck on a streaky planchet with a mint-made grease stain below the date. (PCGS# 62221)

I wear this suit several times a week for lap swimming. So far, it's holding up well to the chlorine ... maintaining it's shape and color. I've even worn it several occasions for a quick 3 to 4 mile run before hitting the pool and it proved to be comfortable for that venue as well. I wouldn't do it regularly though. I am satisfied with this suit and would buy another.

Comfortable and secure during diving practice.
Good jams,good price. I'm a 32 wast I ordered 34"s just right.
ordered them in a 36.way smaller then the sporti jammers I always get from you guys. sent them back. I will either try them in a 38 next time, or stay with sporti size 36
Luckily, my 10 year old has a 23" waist, because the 24" jammers are still tight. He likes them, so we're keeping them, but make no mistake: buy these a full size up. With a 23" waist I would have bought the size 26". Additionally, the material seems a little thinner than other brands we have purchased, so I am not too confident that these will last long.
Conservative for wearing in public. Simple color scheme but trendy. Identical to earlier purchase a year previous at a sporting goods store under the Dolfin label. I intend to purchase another in a different color. Great fit.
I am 38 inch waist.The 38 inch size purchased was more like 36 inc in fact
I had this bathing suit for one week and notice the threading at the seam was fuzzy and unraveling.
I order 28 as my son wear 28 from speedo and TYR. This is my first time to buy this brand for him. I should've looked the reviews as it is way small, as 24. bad experience. :(
High quality but runs small. I bought a size 24 for my tiny 8 year old who wears a size 24 in speedo jammers but these were much smaller.

I dunno how he does it with his 89 mph fastball, but we might as well sign him. He's been as consistent as anyone in the bullpen.
I dunno how he does it with his 89 mph fastball, but we might as well sign him. He's been as consistent as anyone in the bullpen.
Who's on first?
Just ask Trevor Hoffman how he does it.
His delivery hides the ball for a long time. That helps.
Variatio delectat - Cicero
If we can get anything of value for him we should move him, his stock is up.
unfortunately he never was the dominate spot on pitcher like maddux with subpar velocity.. sometimes weathers can thread the needle.. other times it looks like he cant find the glove..
yea i agree with jack...get rid of weathers if we can get some value
need be, but unless he comes with a fairly cheap price tag, forget it. However, if we lose him, we get a Comp B selection I think, so if Alonso doesn't sign and Weathers bolts, we'll have 2 1st rounders and 2 2nd rounders in the draft. Sadly though, it's not considered a very good draft, which is purely the Reds luck.
You would have to offer Weathers arbitration to get a pick and Weathers would almost definitely accept it.
Heat is overrated.
It's all about mistakes. If you don't leave the ball out over the plate, people aren't going to hit you hard, even if you're throwing in the high 80's. The only thing a 95 mph fastball does is let you get away with it from time to time. High heat can be an out pitch, too, but good junk will serve the same purpose.
Beyond that the name of the game is change speed/change location.

Simple Easter Cards
For those that are celebrating Easter today we wanted to say …
I made these super simple Easter cards with white cardstock, washable tempera paint and fine-point Sharpie markers. Henry's thumbprint made the brown bunny and Honor's made the yellow chick. I added the handwritten text and details. I got the inspiration for these cards from this post by Red Ted Art.

CDC Special Supplement: Interrupting Child Maltreatment across Generations through Safe, Stable, Nurturing Relationships
Positive Relationship Factors May Help Break the Cycle of Child Maltreatment
The papers in this supplement investigate the role of safe, stable, nurturing relationships (SSNRs) and social contexts in the lives of children and their caregivers, as well as provide insight into relational factors that influence the intergenerational cycle of child maltreatment. A number of important avenues to improve the lives of children and families by preventing violence and promoting health and well-being are shared. Overall, results suggest that SSNRs have a significant protective effect on the intergenerational transmission of maltreatment, thus highlighting a potentially critical opportunity for prevention of the cycle of violence and promotion of health across the lifespan.
This special supplement of the Journal of Adolescent Health, "Interrupting Child Maltreatment across Generations through Safe, Stable, Nurturing Relationships," is the result of collaboration between the CDC and researchers leading four important longitudinal studies on intergenerational patterns of violence: The Environmental Risk Longitudinal Twin Study, the Family Transitions Project, the Lehigh Longitudinal Study, and the Rochester Youth Development/Intergenerational Study.
Prevention and Research – Looking Forward
- Efforts focused on enhancing safe, stable, nurturing relationships not only between parents and children, but also between parents and other adults, may be a helpful prevention strategy for breaking the cycle of child maltreatment.
- Effective strategies may include expanding existing multi-component programs, targeting high risk child maltreatment survivors, and working on skills building and training to enhance parents' ability to access and maintain healthy relationships.

Why, yes, I will happily put red wine in an ice bucket. Especially if its hot outside and I am demanding a little more refreshment from my red wine. But not just any red wine will do. I am particularly fond of serving Beaujolais with a nice chill on it. Do I want it icy, approaching-the-freezing-point cold? Well, no, not that cold. But pleasantly chilled? Pass the bottle. And have it be full of Raisins Gaulois.
On a recent sponsored trip to Beaujolais (and beyond) with Wines of France, I had the honor to taste wines at Domaine Marcel Lapierre, where you'll find Raisins Gaulois. (The winery is now run by Marcel's son, Mathieu, after Marcel's death at a far-too-young age.) Not only will you find the lively, youthful Raisins Gaulois, but also the more sturdy and structured Morgon.
The Lapierre Morgon, pictured alongside Mathieu, is one of the iconic wines of Beaujolais, if not France and the entire wine world. Like all Red Beaujolais, it's made from the Gamay grape. But, unlike basic Beaujolais (and way unlike Beaujolais Nouveau), Morgon is one of the "Crus" (top vineyard sites) of Beaujolais. Cru Beaujolais are worthy of your cellar, and can age beautifully and easily for a decade-plus. And yet these wines still remain under-appreciated (not good) and a relative bargain (good). But where was I? Oh, yeah. Back to the ice bucket.
The Raisins Gaulois (roughly "French Grapes") has quite an accurate label. Drinking the wine is an experience akin to uncorking a bunch of fresh (fermented, alcoholic) grapes and squeezing them into your mouth. Lapierre just happens to put it in a bottle for you, which makes for much easier shipping and shelf-stocking. (Raisins Gaulois also comes in a 5L and 10L bag-in-box, which I would very much like to have in my refrigerator.) Chilled and consumed outdoors, maybe in a shady spot on a warm day, this Beaujolais would be a perfect pal for all the grilled or cured meats you could throw its way. And it would certainly be great with vegetables, too; kebab-style would be lovely. Raisins Gaulois is the perfect summer red wine.
One of the many things I like about Lapierre is that they can make a wine of serious distinction and contemplation like the Morgon (and the very special Cuvée Marcel Lapierre), as well as a wine with a sense of humor and a great sense of pleasure like Raisins Gaulois. These warm and varied sentiments, however, were balanced with a slight sense of disappointment over not getting a spin in the Morgon Wagon. Some people dream of rolling up to a big event, stepping out of a stretch limousine with tinted windows. Me? I'd rather pop out of the back of the Morgon Wagon, with a chilled 10L box of Raisins Gaulois, a stack of paper cups in hand to dole out glasses to the thirsty crowd.
More about Beaujolais, some apron modeling, and wine in general can be found at jamesonfink.com.

Charles Tillman was asleep when President Obama gave him a big shout out on ESPN. It's one of the few times he wasn't locked in. The star cornerback has been turning heads everywhere with his play, even in the White House, and so have his teammates on the Chicago Bears' defense. A group that came into the season with some question marks is supplying plenty of answers and leading the way for a team that's 7-1 heading into Sunday's showdown with the Houston Texans. A big part of that is Tillman, the guy Obama touted for defensive player of the year during an interview aired Monday night. The praise came after Tillman forced four fumbles in a 51-20 blowout of Tennessee the previous day.

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
Note to readers: This continuing series of op-ed and parenting columns addresses matters related to what is taking place in the Catskills. Should you have any parenting questions on these topics, or if you would like me to address a specific aspect of raising at-risk teens, please e-mail me at email@example.com.
You see a small plastic bottle of Visine or other brands of eye drops in the room of your teen son or daughter. He/she seems to have lingering colds and reddish eyes. You must have misplaced some cash in the house (several times, in fact) over the past few months. Your adolescent son or daughter begs off family simchahs, and his/her last report card was a disaster. Obviously, any one or two of these factors could be completely harmless. But in the aggregate, they are often signs of impending substance abuse issues. Parents of at-risk adolescents need to become more knowledgeable about these symptoms.
Your parents didn't know any of this? You are offended at the notion that you need to think in these terms? Deal with it, as the kids would say. But become a knowledgeable and hands-on parent, as it is by far your best shot at guiding your at-risk child through this stormy phase in his/her life. Your involvement in your child's life is perhaps the greatest predetermining factor as to your child riding out the storm and getting back on track to a productive future.
What are some of the symptoms of kids addicted to drugs? I asked Dr. Benzion Twerski, an outstanding mental health professional specializing in substance abuse treatment, to prepare a list of symptoms. Here are the symptoms he suggested parents should look for:
While other factors can cause many of these symptoms, these are behaviors and activities typical of individuals who are substance abusers:
• Sudden changes in mood, attitudes, or vocabulary – impulsive behavior.
• Sudden and continuing decline in attendance or performance at work or in school.
• Sudden and continuing resistance to discipline at home or in school.
• Impaired relationships with family members or friends.
• Unusual flares of temper.
• Increased amount and frequency of borrowing money from family and friends.
• Stealing from the home, at school, or in the workplace.
• Denial of having a drug problem.
• Heightened secrecy about actions and possessions.
• Association with a new group of friends, especially with those who use drugs or exhibit similar lifestyles.
• Having physical symptoms of drug abuse – such as red eyes, dilated pupils, constricted pupils, sleepiness, chronic runny nose, scars, or needle marks.
• Keeping long hours away from home, especially at night and on weekends.
• Neglecting personal health, and unexplained medical symptoms – such as weight loss and pallor.
• Sudden and continuing change in appearance and manner of dress, especially when contrasting to family patterns.
• Experiencing trouble in the handling of responsibilities.
So what now?
If you are starting to connect the dots, and feel that you may have signs of potential substance abuse with your teenager, it is important for you to proceed slowly and with much reflection. Please don't overreact or impulsively attempt to "get your child back on track." The circumstances that created this situation did not occur overnight, nor will they magically disappear. Seek professional guidance as to the steps you should take, and the pace in which you should take them.
I strongly believe that any teenager who is addicted to drugs is a choleh sheyesh bosakanah (one who has a potentially life-threatening illness). A child like this needs a professional drug rehabilitation center, not a yeshiva. You would not consider removing a stage-four cancer patient (G-d forbid) from a hospital in order to send him to a yeshiva. To quote Dr. Twerski, "Alcohol and drug abuse is a disease. It is a fatal illness that begins with casual or experimental use of a chemical for its mind-altering effects. It rapidly becomes an addiction, which involves loss of control over the substance or behavior, and eventually leads to self-destructiveness."
It is important to understand that drug use also follows a continuum, from experimentation to regular use to dependency and addiction. Not everyone who smokes marijuana is a hard-core addict. But if your child is addicted to drugs, please seek professional help immediately. And seek the help of people who are trained specifically in the field of substance abuse addiction. A rabbi has a crucial and significant role in assisting an addicted child or adult. He can offer moral support, spiritual guidance, and answer any halachic questions that will inevitably arise as a result of the treatment of the addiction. Rabbis (this writer included), however, and yeshivas are not professionally equipped to deal with or heal people who are addicts. If you are not sure if your child falls into the category of a hard-core user, please go to a trained professional for his or her advice.
The YATZKAN Center, founded by Debbie Jonas, recently relocated to Brooklyn, NY under the auspices of FEGS. They offer inpatient and outpatient treatment for addicted teens – with a fully kosher program. Their clinical director, Lew Abrams, LCSW, CASAC, is highly trained in the arena of treating drug addiction. I am familiar with their work, and highly recommend their services for teens and adults who have addiction problems.
At the risk of sounding melodramatic, if your child is addicted to drugs, this is a life-or-death matter. Too many of our precious children have died of drug overdoses for you to worry about what the neighbors will think or just hope things will improve. If you even suspect that your child has a substance abuse problem, please contact YATZKAN immediately and find out what you can do to save his/her life – before it's too late!
Contact information: YATZKAN Center: 718-282-2504; www.yatzkan.org. Dr. Benzion Twerski: 718-437-4118; email@example.com. Lew Abrams: email@example.com.

Those of us familiar with the do's and don'ts of accepted practice in the mental health profession saw similar blaring warning lights in our minds, as should have occurred when the facts were made public regarding the accusations against Nehemia Weberman. This case may very well be our community's most important abuse trial during our lifetimes. It is imperative that we have a huge turnout in support of the victim, a courageous young lady who, may she be gezunt andge'bentched, is determined to see this through to the end so others won't suffer like she did.
In part the altered lives victims of abuse and molestation live are a result of the abuse itself. But it is in part also because of the unfortunate negative reaction to the victims by their own community.

Dear Rabbi Horowitz:
We were taken aback when our 18-year-old son just called us from Eretz Yisrael (we live in Europe) and told us that he was coming home and wants to immediately go to work. He said that he is wasting his time in yeshiva, and just can't take it anymore. He said that he will "run away from home" if we don't allow him to go to work.
Digital images of the profoundly disturbing computer-smashing ceremony conducted by Rabbi Aaron Feinhandler have been viewed by countless thousands of Jews worldwide over the past few weeks.

I think that even if you are not christian,you will make it in heaven! How do we know if what the bible says is true? We don't really have a reliable source for that. And just because you are not a follower does not? mean you are not his children.If God truly created us equally, in some way, why would there need to be a reason for going to hell or to heaven? In god's eyes we are his children,and nothing can change that.You shouldn't always trust something you read. I mean how do we know that they are hiding the truth from us with this bible?? How do we know it's not all made up?
If You Are Not Christian Why Would You Go To Hell?

I was simply stating what the Christian religion says. That was quite a sarcastic reply there. I understand that you have very strong views on this, but that was quite a derogatory and intense criticism on a comment that had neutral views.

If you haven't found that in the Bible, it isn't true. ^^; The Bible is the only source of truth, and while the Bible has been translated to a lot of different languages, its content hasn't changed from the first day it was written. That, actually, was SCIENTIFICALLY proved. Google the Dead Sea Scrolls. They were these scrolls found in pots by the Dead Sea, one of the near-original copies of the Biblical book of Isaiah and a lot of other Old Testament books. The copies were translate... (more »)
You really need to learn how your Bible was written. It wasnt all written at the same time and it has changed over time....I mean how do you explain the differing versions?

As a nascent scientist, I am somewhat troubled by your juxtaposition of "Science" and "Bible." Assuming that you are correct in stating that some historian has proven that the literary content of the Bible has not changed, that does not merit a status of "ABSOLUTELY CORRECT" for the entire work. Too, science dictates that few things are absolutely true, if any. We call these things laws and usually can depict them in nice little formulae. The... (more »)

If you don't believe in the Bible, how do you know who your god is? The Bible is true, and God gives you the option to accept the gift he is offering to you by not forcing you to be with Him in Heaven.

In all honesty, that's not a very fair rebuttal. People do die; it happens every day. The matter of going to h.ell or not is different because we have no way of knowing for sure until we die. At this point, we are getting into who is right and who is wrong, and we could go on all day arguing and never come to a conclusion. The fact is, if I am right, and h.ell does not exist, I will not go there. If YOU are right, and it DOES exist, I may or may not go there, depending on your interpretation... (more »)

I do believe what the bible says but I also believe that it will take a lot of sinning to make it into h.ell. Only a few people will go there. The rest will go to different places in heaven.

I may not always agree with someone else's beliefs but it isn't my job to judge them. I belief that God has a plan for each of us and loves us all the same no matter what. I do not necessarily condone everyone's behavior but i most certainly do not take it upon myself to tell them their opinion is wrong. Because that is not my job. Jesus Christ feasted among sinners and publicans without judgement on them. He healed those who had no love for him or what he taught. I want to be like J... (more »)

blue, that was not a real good way to explain it.. sorry, i have to agree. But, people have to understand.. you are being preached all the time about God's word.. and yet still choose to not believe some of it. only the heaven part. i believe God is working every second to get people not to go to hell. there are people that are going for sure. the devil and his angles are some of them. you can not deny that there is evil all around us.. so all the people who par...

i love your article! who cares what religion you are? i think that getting to heaven has nothing to do with who you believe in but how you live your life! i wish that people don't look down on others who don't believe in God or Jesus.
I hope you do more research before you live your life thinking this way. Does not sound like you have read God's word or understand it all. I thought the same as you.. you are being reached out to right now.. being told he does exist and the bible is HIS word. do the reasearch.. do not assume. it is very important you do not ignore the people who are trying to help you. they were sent into your life for a reason.
We Christians don't look down on non-believers, we aren't any more special than them. We want everyone to go to Heaven and live forever with God and Jesus, but it won't be that way because the rapture (the second coming of Christ) is coming closer everyday; only the saved will go to heaven, but not everyone will be saved in time. All in all, we want to get people to believe on Jesus and get saved.

Russiansby Robin Milner-gulland
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Russians - still one of the most numerous and powerful peoples on earth - have undergone an historical development whose direction and destiny continues to fascinate after more than 1100 years. This book represents an exploration of the ancient roots and subsequent transformations of their cultural history.
By concentrating in the first instance on the seven hundred years up to Russia's "Westernization" in the eighteenth century, the book follows several important social, cultural and artistic themes through to modern times. Thus pre-modern and folk-based cultural patterns are shown to have had an afterlife that has contributed essential components to the configuration of modern Russian culture, even in its ostensibly sophisticated and "Europeanized" manifestations.
Landscape and geographical constants are seen to have played a large part in determining both the material and imaginative culture of Rus (as Old Russia was known). This is the main subject of the book's first chapter, together with an account of the traditional Russian way of life. Thereafter the socio-political development and the belief-systems of Rus/Russia are discussed and related to historical events. The two final chapters treat, respectively, the role of language and literature in Russian consciousness, and the "iconic world" as manifested in various aspects of Russia's visual and oral culture.
The Russians provides a wide-ranging and original exploration of the Russian cultural experience. An underlying theme is that of the meaning of "Russianness" at both a collective and personal level. The book thus contributes, too, to our understanding of controversial matters of ethnicity and historical identity for this hugely influential, if often unstable, nation.
This book examines the history of the Russian peoples from the time of the first inhabitants of "Old Russia", or "Rus", up to the present day.

About the Author
"Milner-Gulland's strength lies in his ability to write with equal facility and conviction about literature and the visual arts, about the fourteenth or the twentieth century, a strength underpinned by a reluctance to compartmentalize the arts with conventional historical periodization ... I can think of few better books for opening doors into a fascinating but often misunderstood world." Seer

Andrew Billen - Workers from hell
Television - A portrait of real-life office torpor rings many bells, writes Andrew Billen
The A
Television - A portrait of real-life office torpor rings many bells, writes Andrew Billen
The A
by Andrew Billen Published
Stitched up, dumbed down - that was David Brent's immortal summary of how the fictional docu-soap that The Office purported to be had traduced him. If they had as little sense of humour as Brent, Ann and John Armstrong of U-Fit, "Coventry's third-biggest double-glazing company", would no doubt be complaining in simi-lar terms about their representation on The Armstrongs (Wednesdays, 10pm). Instead they are reported to be pleased to see the whole exercise as a kind of 12-week advertisement. This is just as well for, were they to complain, what could they say? That Bill Nighy's narrational voice sounded a little ironic?
Since they have put aside their qualms, we can sit down and enjoy what is, much more than Extras, the true successor to The Office. The programme starts in the style of Hart to Hart, with a voice-over telling us that when John met Ann it was "instant attraction". Ann is no Jennifer Hart, however - nor, come to that, a Dave Brent. Brent prided himself on his GSOH, while Ann boasts of her relentless, finger-wagging negativity, particularly towards her own staff. When she sees a U-Fit worker smoking in the yard, she delightedly announces this to be an act of gross misconduct punishable by sacking (in comparison the Health Secretary, Patricia Hewitt, who insists merely on spot fines, is a softie). Ploughing through a manual on positive thinking provided, I would guess, by the big-hearted producer/director Fergus O'Brien, Ann warns that the real test will be when she comes to work in "the mother of all moods".
In comparison John - who, unlike his animated wife, is always filmed sitting down - does not say much. Happily, what he does say is almost always daft, as when a U-Fit barrage balloon is launched and he announces: "We are now masters of the air." His judgement is usually equally amiss. Reasoning that "all the waifs and strays from all walks of life end up in double glazing", he agrees, for example, to take on as his super-salesman a floppy-haired and crumple-shirted loser called Michael. Michael's problem is his delusion that he is a winner, which he technically is, but only in the rarefied field of international Othello championships. Boasting that the board game has pretty much "defined" his life, Michael smiles on the real world as if it were an amusing but petty distraction from his true purpose.
Trying to make inroads into this heady fantasy is a Zimbabwean motivational expert named Basil, whom John has taken on to inspire the staff - after knocking his fee down from £15,000 to £3,000. Basil enjoys asking semi-rhetorical questions such as "How does the mind work?" and Michael enjoys answering with maximum obfuscation.
The remainder of the sales staff, who spend on average only 30 minutes of their 40-hour week actually on the phone selling, look on sleepily - perhaps dreaming of their next fag break or exploration of the bigtits.com site that Ann, in her Big Sisterly way, has monitored them visiting.
The Armstrongs intends to present the couple as the bosses from hell, but the impression it leaves is of a workforce from that place or, at least, the 21st-century Britain known to anyone who has ever called a customer services department. As Ann Armstrong says: "We've tried the carrot. We've tried the stick. We've tried chocolate bars. We've tried everything."
The programme runs against the current ethos of the BBC, which tries in shows such as Dragons' Den to get with Gordon's programme, enterprise-wise. Yet its portrait of office torpor rings more bells than, say, The Apprentice (Wednesdays, 9pm), which returned for a second season an hour before The Armstrongs. The first instalment was filled with the usual razor-clawed young fanatics determined for reasons best left unexplored to model themselves on Sir Alan Sugar.
As usual, the fun lay in spotting which potential apprentice was most likely to succeed in causing everyone else to hate him or her. My candidates so far include the semi-hysterical HR manager Jo, the tautologous saleswoman Ruth ("The reason I am going to win is because I am a winner") and "I am streetwise, I am dynamic" Syed - but I think my vote will go to Syed, because he has already said "work hard, play hard".
Sir Alan's 14 would-be apprentices were set the task of buying and selling vegetables - a job they took to with a self-immolating fanaticism. Particularly worrying was the girls' decision to elicit rotten mangoes from the honest traders of New Spitalfields Market in exchange for light sexual favours. Sir Alan rightly ordered a steward's inquiry, prompting much trembly-lipped outrage from Jo ("Don't denigrate what we did") and gulpy self-righteousness from the lads ("We set about this as a business task").
If the poor dupes had been able to watch Tim in the Firing Line (19 Febru-ary, BBC2), about the winner of the last series and his nightmare year relaunching a failed Amstrad anti-wrinkle machine, none of them would be so worried about losing. And there is, after all, a cushy job going for any of them at U-Fit.

Despite President Obama and White House officials touting a recovering economy, voters aren't feeling an improvement and according to a new Fox News poll, they think the worst is yet to come. When voters grade the President on the economy, he averages a C-.
Voters continue to be pessimistic over the future of the economy. A 58-percent majority thinks the worst is yet to come. Not only is that up from 52 percent a year ago, but it is also the highest level recorded since April 2009. At that time, 66 percent said the worst is yet to come.
When asked to grade Obama for the job he's done on improving the economy, nine percent give him an "A," while 22 percent give him a "B" and 22 percent a "C." A sizable minority thinks he deserves a grade of "D" (14 percent) or "F" (24 percent). Another nine percent give an "incomplete."
That makes the president's grade-point average 1.78, which is a C-minus. That's about the same as Obama received in 2012.
These numbers come after two months of dismal job reports and just after the administration announced another one year delay of the Obamacare business mandate.

That's right... It's Thursday afternoon, so time to sit back with your favorite beverage of choice, something to eat and join us as we take a look at what's being said about the Badgers and the B1G around the web. As always Thirsty Thursday is presented by the folks at American Retro Bar NYC, the newest home for all your Badgers game watch parties in Manhattan! They've got your Nebraska game needs covered with $3 PBR Tallboy's and $8 Bud Light/Rolling Rock Pitchers as long as you're wearing Wisconsin Red, so please check them out and tell Gus and the gang there that WiscoBadgers.com sent you!
On to the news of the day, and I have to start off with a story from the "didn't see that coming" files in regards to the Nebraska game this weekend from CornNation.com where of all people Marquette fans take a totally unwarranted shot at the Badgers. Guess it's September and their complete envy of us having an actual football team reared it's ugly head on this one. Wow, just wow! Think it's time to launch a counter offensive? Let us hear your ideas.
Our football contributors Sacsha and Arman were joined by Andy and Adam Hoge from Bucky's 5th Quarter for another story over at CornNation.com and it made for a really fun question and answer, so please check that out.
What are other sites saying about this game? Well ESPN College GameDay will be live from Bascom Hill as we've reported here, but we'll also be there live in person and on set, so check us out for a full report LIVE early Saturday morning as we gather on the set of College GameDay and we'll have a story tomorrow about the panels thoughts on the game. So far ESPN has given us their GameDay Kickoff where Recce Davis previews the game and does a pretty damn good job in my book.
Our Eidtor Andy will be revealing his picks later on tonight, but he's been much more accurate than the guys over at ESPN's B1G Blog, here are their predictions for the weekend and as you can see they haven't been nearly as good as Andy... Ya, take that ESPN!
Of course the fascination with Russell Wilson hasn't stopped, in fact it's been getting increasingly worse (and by worse I mean awesome) throughout the season. SI.com's Stewart Mandel has a great feature story on him and the Wisconsin offense. It's a bit refreshing for our "boring" offense to finally get some pub behind just how hard it is to play our style and having the kind of kids that buy into the system as a whole is amazing. SI.com also picked this as their Game of the Week and it's a very good read as well and the seemingly endless picks of this game lands with Nebraska putting up 20 points, but is that good enough to win? Guess you'll have to read it, huh?
There's been so much attention on this game that the rest of the B1G hasn't really gotten much attention. Well, that's what happens when the only other matchup that's worth even noting is the Michigan State vs. Ohio State game. In that spirit I'm going to sign off with a video here of Kirk Cousins talking at the B1G Luncheon. I know we've played it here before, but if this doesn't get you up for the start of Big Ten Football and what it means to be a player, coach, administrator, or just a fan like us, I don't know what will... Until next Thirsty Thursday, enjoy your beverages and ON WISCONSIN!!
