Warrensburg With his daughters and wife Diane nearby involved in cheerleading practice, Brian Angell sat down on a park bench Monday Sept. 26 on the grounds of Warrensburg Elementary School, for a few moments of reflection.
The next day, he was headed back to work for the first time since a fateful day in May 2010, when he was doubled over with pain at work as a technician for Million Air, a fixed-base operator at Albany Airport that serves charter and private aircraft. On that day, Angell, in his early 50s, ended up at the hospital — and soon after had his appendix removed.
But after the emergency operation, doctors gave him grim news: he had stage four cancer of the colon and appendix, which had already spread to his lymph nodes.
The news was particularly gripping, he said, because his father died at age 52 of colon cancer.
The news sent his life into a tailspin, and a rigorous, gut-wrenching regimen of chemotherapy ensued. For months, he endured repeated series of hospital treatments followed by home-based chemotherapy in which chemicals were pumped into his arteries continuously for two days.
The regimen left him intermittently sick, weak and numb in the limbs. His treatments stopped in December, but his body and its immune system took time to recover, he said.
In the meantime, his life gained a new focus, he said as he gazed off into space.
He's more aware and appreciative of bonds with family, friends and community, he said — and things that he once considered stressful, now seem merely trivial, he said.
"I now realize that every little moment is precious — being able to wake up, be with my kids, then drop them off to school feels so good."
Soon after his diagnosis, Angell participated in a mission work trip with his daughter Julie and a group from the local St. Cecilia's Catholic Church to Charlotte, North Carolina. They landscaped and painted a home for unwed mothers.

Letter to the Editor: Ban assault weapons
CORPUS CHRISTI - In view of all the schoolchildren who were mass murdered with an assault weapon, I think to be on the safe side that all parents with children in school should contact by any and all means our state senators and representatives, both Democratic and Republican. Especially senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, who voted no to any type of gun control on the Senate Judiciary Gun Control Committee. Tell them that you want all of the proposals of the gun control bill passed, including the ban on an assault weapon, so that the possibility and probability of schoolchildren being mass-murdered with an assault weapon would eventually come to an end.
The assault weapon is a combat weapon and is designed to kill as many humans as possible in the shortest amount of time on the battlefield of a war zone. It is not designed to protect yourself from an unruly neighbor and does not belong in the hands of the civilian population.

I'm visiting the US Census Bureau this week, so there's a good chance there will be a few days I don't post anything. Hopefully not though. I have a couple of things scheduled. But in case I go radio silent for a few days, you'll know why. It'll be back to normal next week.
Visiting Census
3 Comments
That's very cool. I interviewed at the Census Bureau when I was graduating college and even back then (1977) they were doing amazing data graphics with large (at the time) amounts of data. We expect a full report, of course!
Awesome, I do hope you write about the experience if you're able. Having spent so much time with census data recently, I've become very curious about how the operate.
Looking forward to the presentation tomorrow.

Nice little place you definitely need to try if you are looking to get some aussie food. I went a few weeks ago and was told there would be a new menu, so I bet there are even more choices now. And, it's always a plus when you get served by someone with an accent. HOT!
Posted by Trevor White on 11/21/2005
I had checked out the pies after I heard about the great review in the New York Times a while ago and thought they were great. Having stopped by again yesterday, it seems like they've gotten even better! Maybe the recipe has evolved but, God, the nosh was good. They've just started serving coffee, too, and it was one of the best tasting cups of coffee I have ever had in NYC. This place is very laid-back with really good, inexpensive food. I hope this is the first of a chain of Tuck Shops in New York!
Posted by kiwi on 11/17/2005
The pastry was awesome, the meat was tasteless. I think they need to improve the quality of the meat they use and work on the gravy. Some of the "plastic bag" pies you can get in NZ taste better than this ...
Posted by Anonymous on 10/01/2005
I am so happy that tuck shop exists. The pies are soooooo good. Sausage rolls are excellent. Can't wait for the jaffles. and they just start delivering. It has made this aussie a very happy little vegemite indeed. Good onya.
Posted by thePooka on 09/17/2005
The sausage rolls rock. They are my new pizza... They are $2.50. They serve them immediately. They are healthier than pizza (well, a little bit anyway). They are much tastier than pizza, honest. They are easier to eat while inebriated. Need I say more? The pies are nice too. My favorite is chicken and leek.
Posted by Gerry O'Doyle on 09/15/2005
I read the review in today's NY Times and hurried on down to see if these guys could get close to the Four n Twenties that I grew up on. Who cares about the Ashes when you can get real Aussie tucker when you're so far from home! The Tuck Shop has got it just right with their meat pies and I'll be back for more. Aussies in NYC -- drown your sorrows on the sangers and lamingtons and any Limeys out there don't doubt that your victory will be short lived!
Posted by chelsea and eric on 08/28/2005
Chelsea: it is worth a special trip for delicious and unexpected flavor in the 'meat pie'. Eric really loved the veggie but i think the meat wins every time. We agreed on the 'sausage roll' - subtle and Super-Yummy. And we decided we can never have another 'vanilla slice' because it's just too good. Eric: tuck shop...pretty good!

Read Poems by
Jared Pickett
I've seen Paris
I've seen Greece
I've even seen Venice
money well spent
to achieve divine peace
I've hitchhiked through the desert
walked the Manhattan streets
played imaginary football with cactus
ran a marathon in a city made of concrete
met many faces
let many of them go
turned my back, without looking back
poetic verses now grow.
went to a black and white ball in the hills
played basketball in the slums
partied with many different cultures
hell, that's what makes life fun
I've seen prejudice
and all the pain it brings
I've seen blacks and Jews persecuted
in their favor i choose to sing
I've seen the religious ethics
of churches world wide
heard many sermons, different principles
i will not choose a side
traveled one hundred thousand miles
from coast to coast,
swam naked in the river Nile
invited Ghandi, played his host
I have lived in in the ghetto,
ate my dumplings fried,
spent countless nights at Hilton,
there's a limitless fortune in this mind.

Posted by I LOVE FOOD on 04/17/2009
The atmosphere is alright, nice views of Columbus Circle. Had the french onion soup-it was disappointing. The mussels were pretty good. My girlfriend got the tuna-not that great either. So consensus, probably a good place to grab a drink with friends, not so much to eat. There are so many better resturants in the city and why eat here when it not great and it's expensive? I'll be spending my hard earned cash else where!
Posted by anonymous on 02/27/2009
This is the dreariest looking restaurant in New York City. Who approved that black ceiling? Needs some color, lightness, design. Couldn't get out of there fast enough.
Posted by Anonymous on 01/01/2009
I love the Tribeca location and have been there dozens of times and sent friends and fellow employees with high regards. That's also when I was working closer to that location. I now work in midtown and I think I have given Mr. Murphy's "new" location enough times to pull it together. Look folks...you are not "new" anymore!! All the kinks should have been worked out by now!! The host stand is sloppy and inattentive...the service is embarrassing...and the food is a gamble. Never great just ok...but sometimes just not good!!
Posted by uws foodie on 12/17/2008
I have been to the tribeca venue a dozen times and this one twice - and for the last time last night. I ate at the bar and asked about the cheese plate. He had no idea, so he went to ask someone. Fine. He came back and couldn't remember half of the cheeses. Then he disappeared. I think it must have been the bar manager who showed up, but only because his brother came for free beers. Then a third employee came to chat w the other two and the freeloading brother about how they were going to pick up chicks and what they would do to them. Really? As if! Food is great but staff is classless...
Posted by Paul on 12/10/2008
I have been here at least 10 times probably more. I live in the neighborhood. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant. The decor is cool with great views of Central Park. I've had some very good food here, steaks, pasta, hamburgers, salmon and other entrees. I can say that the breakfast is never good, avoid it. Coffee is bad too. The service seems to be consistently bad. For example, the last time I went I was seated quickly with my friend at a very nice table. Shortly after, the hostess came over and asked us if we would like to a better table with a view of the Park. We agreed and were squeezed into a table with no view of the park that was cramped,stuffy and noisy. When we realized we were duped, we confronted the hostess. She basically got us out so she could merge tables for a larger party. She was dishonest and unapologetic when we called her out on her behaviour. When we asked for her supervisor, she hesitated but finally disappeared for 5 minutes. Her supervisor came out and didnt even speak to us, he just offered another table. We dont know what kind of untruth she fed him but since he offered a better table, we took it. Needless to say, after all of that, what was supposed to be a special meal turned out to be a frustrating one. Landmarc needs to train staff much better and the experience will improve for customers.
Posted by Tribeca's Better on 11/24/2008
I went to this location because it was cold outside. Plus, I have been to the Tribeca location three times, each for a different occasion. Each time was amazing! Therefore I assumed that the Columbus Circle location would also be a winner! My friend and I ordered steaks. The meat was ridiculously tough and chewy. My friend should not even cut her's with a steak knife! I had to send mine back to be cooked further so that I can cut and it! Isn't filet mignon supposed to melt in your mouth? The waitress was kind enough to provide me with a fresh plate after my steak was cooked the second time. She even brought cotton candy for my friend's birthday, even though the occasion was mentioned in passing. The atmosphere is nice and the setting is intimate. A little loud, but still good enough to take a date. ...but avoid the steak
Posted by JK72 on 10/04/2008
I live in Tribeca and have enjoyed eating at the downtown Landmarc several times. But my girlfriend and I were thoroughly disappointed with the food and service at the Columbus Circle Landmarc! We got the salmon tartar and it tasted fishy and was way too salty. My girlfriend got the shrimp risoto and it was also over-salted and she found 3 shrimp shells in there as well. And I got the cod fish which was very salty and over-cooked. And the service was really weak...after ordering a nice bottle of wine our waiter disappeared almost the whole meal and then showed up to pour the last glass of wine like he was doing us a favor! And when we got tired of staring at our half-eaten plates for 15 minutes while our waiter was somewhere, we actually moved our plates to the empty table next to us which I have never had to do before. I never write these reviews, but we were so pissed I had to drop this note. Do yourself a favor and pick another Time Warner restaurant or just go to Landmarc for a drink because the bar is quite nice.

Bellport-Brookhaven Historical Society
December 1, 2008
Dear Fellow Society Members and Friends,
I write to
you on behalf of the Board of Trustees and extend a personal thank
you to all of you who have been so very supportive and helpful to me
during my first term as President of the Society. If you are not
currently a member of the Society, you are receiving this letter
because you have supported us in one of our fundraising efforts this
past year or you have indicated an interest in becoming a member of
the Society.
The year
2008 has certainly been one full of action at the museum complex,
and one of interesting economics. My first year as president has
been one of rather expansive learning and accommodation. Do you have
any idea how much it costs to air condition, heat, light, and insure
eight structures to keep our artifacts in good condition? Neither
did I. Nor did I fully understand the curious machinations of the
State of New York and their grants process. I am an avid reader,
writer, and learner…and learn I have
I have learned that you are very generous people and that we depend
upon your generosity to pay the heating, cooling, electric, and
insurance bills. We also depend upon you to donate above and beyond
basic membership dues to enable us to move forward with archival
work, curatorial expenses, printing and mailing, overall building
maintenance, and to move forward in restoring our buildings. This
past year we continued work (insulation, heat, AC) on 12 Bell Street
and are in the process of planning for the restoration of the front
doorway, windows, and side entrance. The exterior painting and
roofing are also on our "to do" list for 12 Bell Street, as is work
on the driveway and parking area to the south of the building. We
are continuing our efforts at corporate fundraising. Our annual gala,
honoring the internationally famed Brookhaven resident, Dennis
Puleston, followed by a three week exhibit at out Bell Street
brought in revenues that enable us to be fiscally sound during these
times of great financial upheaval.
I have learned that people do remember us in their wills and
bequeath to the Society lovely works of art, fine antique furniture,
and historical papers and documents. This year we were given 2 fine
19th century oil portraits of Civil War & Bellport resident Gen.
McLean and a Pelletreau wedding dress. We were able to purchase a few
artifacts of local historical value and add them to our collections
this year. You will see some of the images in future newsletters. I
have also learned that Curators come and go, and that we benefit
from the time they spend with the Society.
In terms of membership, I
have learned that we add new members every month and we urge you to
continue your membership or become a member for the first time and
join us in accomplishing our goal of preserving local history. Our membership lists have been computerized in a new manner and
we hope to be able to mail out only 'one per member' of anything. I
am sure you will appreciate the end result of less paper in your
mailbox and we will all reap the cost benefit of more efficient
printings and mailings.
I have also learned that
volunteerism is alive and well; embodied in the
Bellport-Brookhaven Historical Society. At a time when other
organizations such as ours are forced to sell off properties and/or
let employees go, we stand strong in our ability to carry on the
mission of the Society. We are a volunteer organization; paying a
salary only to our curator. This fact has provided us great security
these past few months as we have all watched the financial world
crumble. We, like everyone else, have been hit by losses in our
investment portfolio, but we have managed our finances responsibly
and our endowment fund will grow as the market rebounds.
As we bid farewell to 2008, our
archivist is hard at work updating our files, the docents are
enjoying a well earned respite before gearing up for a new season of
tours, the caretakers are keeping watch over the complex, the
Trustees are still hard at work, and the Museum Exchange Shop (new
location at 12 Bell Street)
remains open and available for your holiday shopping. Our plans for
2009 have begun and the annual fundraising gala is set to be a

The Sculpture of Louise Nevelson
written by Brooke Kamin Rapaport
Yale University Press | ISBN 9780300121728
Hardback – 256 pages
Member's price: $95.36
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
Large, beautiful images of Nevelson's work are supplemented by essays on her art and life in this book. Well balanced between text and image, the publication tells the story of Nevelson's achievements as a woman sculptor against considerable odds. Rapaport and her contributors provide insights and analyses of Nevelson's daring work, which locates beauty and value in the broken and the cast-off. Mona Hadler describes this as a this significant catalogue, that helps to recontextualize Nevelson's 'elegant, challenging, and, in its own way, problematic production'.

The Edit Operations allow for easy manipulation of the image history, the selected region of the image, the selection itself, and the clipboard.
An important thing to note about selected regions is that all drawing operations are clipped to remain within them. For example, if you use the Ellipse Select tool to select a circular region in the middle of the image, you will be unable to draw anything outside of that circle while the selection is active. Effects and Adjustments will only affect the selected area as well.
This undoes the most recent action that you've taken that affects the image, if any. This functionality is also available from the History Window.
This redoes the most recent action that you've undone, if any. This functionality is also available from the History Window.
You may use this to remove a selected portion of the active layer. You can select a portion of the layer by using the Rectangle Select, Lasso Select, Ellipse Select, or Magic Wand tools. Once you perform the cut operation, that area of the layer is moved to the clipboard and replaced with transparent pixels. The current selection outline is also removed.
This is similar to the Cut command, except that the selected region remains on the active layer and the selection outline is not removed.
If there is an image in the clipboard, this command will allow you to paste it on to the active layer. The pasted pixels will then be selected and the Move Selected Pixels tool will automatically be selected. This will allow you to move, scale, or rotate the pixels into the desired location and orientation.
If the image being pasted is too wide and/or too tall for the current canvas size, you will be asked if you want to resize the canvas. This is a quick shortcut to the Image → Canvas Size command so that you can make sure that what you are pasting will fit.
This is similar to Paste, except that it creates a new layer, makes it active, and then performs the Paste command.
This is similar to Paste, except that it first creates a new image, makes it active, and then pastes the contents of the clipboard in to it. The new image is exactly the same size as the image that is in the clipboard.
This command erases the currently selected region of the active layer. All pixels that lie within the selected region are replaced with transparency. This is similar to the Cut command, except that the selected pixels are not copied to the clipboard.
If there is a selected region, this will fill it with the current primary color.
If there is a selected region, this will cause all pixels that are selected to be unselected, and vice-versa.
This causes the entire canvas to be selected.
After you select this menu item, no pixels will be selected.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2001 Doing taxes if you are in the military can be confusing. What do you report as income? If you were stationed in Bosnia or Kosovo for three months or were aboard ship in the Med, how much of your pay is taxable? How are moving expenses treated?
The answers to these and many other tax questions unique to military service are on the Internal Revenue Service Web site in the Armed Forces Tax Guide. Go to http://www.irs.gov/forms_pubs/pubs/p3toc.htm and start reading. [link no longer available]
The publication addresses a slew of military tax issues such as areas declared as combat zone exclusions and how to handle income earned by resident alien spouses. It lists what income is taxable and, more important, what is not. It lists exemptions and how to qualify for them.
Service members can request an extension for filing an income tax return if they meet certain provisions. The publication tells how to apply.
Speaking of returns, the IRS this year lets you file electronically, free and directly. You still need compliant computer software and forms, but you don't need to file through a tax preparer or other middleman unless you choose. "E-file" instructions are at http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/elec_svs/efile-ind.html.
Need forms? You can get those over the Internet at the IRS forms page at http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/index.html. Select a document format and then download all the forms you want.
Need a form, but not sure which one? Go to a forms searcher at http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/index.html and enter some key words. The search engine will point you to the right area.
How do you handle state taxes? The IRS forms page has a link to a state tax page prepared by Federation of Tax Administrators, or go there directly by manually keying http://www.taxadmin.org/fta/forms.ssi. Click "Local and State News" at the IRS site tree, http://www.irs.gov/search/site_tree.html, for links to individual state tax news pages and information about joint electronic federal-state tax filing.
States that also allow direct Internet tax filing include Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and Vermont.

The Henderson/Vance 13-year-old Babe Ruth baseball all-stars fell to Border Belt of Lumberton, 13-3, Thursday in their opening game of the Eastern N.C. State Tournament in Pembroke.

The presidential primary is a joke
February 18, 2012
There's no democracy in Maine this year. Voters from Hancock and Washington counties have been reported (by Fox News, actually) as being "not counted." Some polling stations were closed, due to a phantom snowstorm that never materialized. There's an easy way around all of this – we just need to do it.
Maine in February of 2012 is a sad example of a large underlying problem, everywhere in America, and all through our history: in-person elections are inherently flawed, and we need to get our elections online.
Sure, there will be challenges, but those hurdles are going to be much easier to overcome than the catastrophic, corruptable, logistics nightmare of holding an in-person election.
I'm from Oregon, where it's 100% vote by mail. Maybe that makes me more predisposed to support a system where it evolves even further – vote by internet. People should have a choice of how they vote. Right now, few have any choice in how they vote.

Missouri State-West Plains Student Success Story
New Beginnings … Endless Possibilities
Jason Hartgraves
A college degree wasn't originally in the plans for Jason Hartgraves. The 2004 graduate of Ava High School had planned to spend his working years in construction. But in 2008, the recession hit, and the good-paying construction jobs he had been counting on dried up.
It wasn't until he was "tinkering" around with computers, a long-time hobby of his, that something clicked. "One day, it just made sense. If I wanted job security, I needed to start thinking about going to college," he said.
Missouri State University-West Plains seemed like the best place to start, he said. "I liked West Plains, it wasn't that expensive and I wanted a good foundation for my academic career. I felt the campus would let me kick off my academic career successfully," he explained.
In fall 2009, five years after graduating high school, Hartgraves enrolled in his "new job" and approached his studies toward the Associate of Applied Science in Computer Technology and Associate of Arts in General Studies degrees with the same determination he had given his construction work.
"That first semester, I told myself I would get a 4.0 grade point average that semester, and I've told myself that every semester since," he said. He continues to be a 4.0 student and is a member of the William and Virginia Darr Honors Program and the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.
But the challenges of being a straight-A student weren't enough for Hartgraves. He applied for the study abroad program at Missouri State-West Plains' campus at Liaoning Normal University in Dalian, China and spent five months in the spring of 2011 learning a new language, a new culture and a new perspective on the world.
"I knew I had a problem being out of my comfort zone and I wanted to challenge myself," he said. "It's obvious to me today's society is a global one. Everything we do is interconnected with the world. My time in China gave me the opportunity to learn about that country and the new technologies that connect us and it gave me a boost of confidence in myself. I feel like I can succeed no matter the situation."
In January 2012, he put these newfound skills to use when he began an internship at JB's Healthmart in West Plains. Owners Jane and Dan Thomas were taking their business online and needed help perfecting the website and developing the e-commerce site.
"In China I learned to slow down, be patient, be clear and ask questions," Hartgraves explained. "That experience improved my communication skills and the business management classes I took in China has helped me in making suggestions to the Thomases about business issues."
The Thomases couldn't be more pleased with Hartgraves' work. "It's going great! He's been a tremendous asset. I wish I had him every day," Jane said. "We're starting to get orders online and we've seen an increase in traffic. We're more than satisfied. He's just been great!"
In fact, the Thomases have asked Hartgraves to continue working for them after he graduates in May with his degrees. But he won't be staying long; he plans to transfer to Missouri State University in Springfield to complete a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree with minors in mathematics and physics.
"I like a challenge," he said of his degree choices, adding, "Ultimately, I want to be a part of the new world of technology and help people use it effectively. Technology is growing exponentially and more people are needed who can create it and make it user friendly."

Sanford Rich, Kopperman's Deli Owner, Searches for a Successor
Kopperman's is the real deal. | Nancy Stiles
Kopperman's Deli (386 North Euclid Avenue; 314-361-0100) needs somebody young. Somebody willing to work. Somebody who knows how to talk to people. That's what owner Sandford Rich is looking for in a successor. We went to visit Rich at the Central West End mainstay after the Post-Dispatch spotted an ad putting the deli up for sale. As one of our picks for the best delis in St. Louis, we couldn't bear the thought of it closing.
"No, no. I just want to retire," Rich tells us, patting his belly as he sips coffee on the pleasant patio at Kopperman's. "I'm 66!"

Sanford Rich at Kopperman's. | Nancy Stiles
Although his kids grew up helping out at Kopperman's (just like he did with his father at Rich's Fine Foods), Rich says they have their own careers now.
"They didn't go to the babysitter; they came to work for daddy. That's what I did. They learned how to meet people, actually interact with folks, not talking to their phones. That's a big thing," he says.
The people who came in when Rich first opened Kopperman's in 1983 are now bringing in their grandkids.
"That's pretty neat when you think of it like that. Everything's got a time and a place, and it's time to pass it on to a faster runner, pass that baton," Rich says.
The bar at Kopperman's. | Nancy Stiles
"I opened this up as just kind of a hobby, and then it became a business. I didn't know anything about the restauarant business. Vince Bommarito, who owns Tony's, told me in a nutshell, it's about consistency," Rich says. "The hardest part is being consistent. Consistent service, consistent food quality. It takes constant monitoring; somebody's gotta care."
On the inside, Kopperman's has its famous deli counter (with some meats flown in from the even more famous Carnegie's Deli in New York) as well as seating for breakfast and lunch. Huge 1890s circus posters line one wall; on an opposite wall hangs blown-up photos of his father at Rich's Fine Foods in the 1940s.
"It's the passing of a generation, that's what I'm trying to tell you," Rich says. "They've got a great facility [here] to do it. You need somebody that wants to come in and work, that's the bottom line."
Passing the baton. | Nancy Stiles

Most times, people with Alzheimers have trouble with didactic memoryfacts, names, places, what we call things. What they dont lose is a sense of familiarity with something
Emotional memories are very well preserved in Alzheimers Diseaselove, affection, etc., so songs that carry those emotional memories are the best retained. The amazing thing is that people cant recall other information, but they can sing along with the lyrics
Chaotic brain activity diminishes as a song holds their attention. It pulls everything together so the person is fully whole, centered in the moment, enabling the person to be more themselves.
When people are no longer speaking or recognizing their relatives, play the right song, and they will sing the words to just about perfect rhythm
their eyes will open up, and theyll be happy. Everything will stop around them because everyone will be enjoying watching someone have that reaction."

Customer Reviews
Decent, with design flaws
The whole thing is definitely strong, easy to set up, and comfortable. Love the versatility of the cuffs. However, once in place under the mattress, there's no adjusting it without actually lifting the mattress. Good luck if you wanted to adjust the length of the straps in the middle of things. The velcro on the cuffs is also VERY loud, which makes him not want to use them if other people are home. Maybe the velcro will soften up over time and get quieter, but for now that is a major limiting factor. Hard to have fun when you can't even get started. The lack of a way to adjust the straps once it's set up was a big disappointment, especially considering the price.
Strong product!
For such a simple design this system offers endless possibilities. (And of course a lot of fun) quick and easy set up and quick retrieval when needed! A quick tuck between mattress and box spring for storage. We use on king size bed with no issues, extenders are easy to find (or make) and strong, well made product.
Easy to set up and use.
I've used a number of Liberator products with my wife...this is another great one. For one thing, it's compatible with my other Liberator straps, so I picked a different color for this set. Easily adjustable, and easy to remove and carry with you.. My wife was pleasantly surprised when I started hooking her up. Looking forward to many years of use out of this.
Totally worth it!!
Get this! You will love it. It is amazingly well made. The clips are seriously strong. I don't think they will ever break. And the other reviewer is right - you can use the parts for many other different positions. It's very discreet - just keep it tucked under the edge of the mattress. You will use it many times for many years because it's made in AMERICA people! The land of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness!
Great but the full bondage cover is better
This is a slimmed down version of the bed cover with bondage connections all around the edge which is MUCH better. I didn't see it on the site anymore so not be offered anymore but call. Liberator stocks merchandise that is NOT listed on the website is being discontinued. One problem with it is that it comes with NO ASSEMBLY instructions and mine was missing key components. Was hard for LIberator to track down someone who could help me and send the complete set. The cuff system used by Liberator is outstanding and great quality.
Fun night
My wife and I have always talked about getting something to use with the bed. We already have the Equus, the Fascinator Throw and the silky tie-ups, but the Equus usually ends up becoming an ottoman or an extra space to put laundry. So a few days after the Bed Buckler arrived, I set it up and my wife tried it out to make sure the straps were at the right length. Fifteen minutes later, I can't find the words to describe the amazing sex we were having! This is well worth the money.
Excellent Product
The fluffy cuffs are soft, the straps are sturdy and compatible with any standard clips if you need replacements or extensions. However, the best part of this product is that it has many more uses than in the description. Of course you can attach someone to the bed as shown in the picture, however, if you get creative, you can use them as plain hand and ankle cuffs, you can also strap someone down hands to ankle, and you can do hands together, vertically on the bed, same with ankles. The prospects are limitless due to the fact that you have five straps, four connectors, four cuffs, and the ability to find additional pieces at any sports store! Safe to use as the user can undo the velcro at any time, softness and adjustability ensure no discomfort. Overall, great product and very versatile, safe, fun, and sexy!

One of the largest single contributors to the City's budget shortfalls is soaring employer contributions to its employee pension funds. These contributions have increased from two percent of the City's budget in 2000 to eleven percent in the last fiscal year, while the City's accrued health insurance benefits liability totaled $75 billion in 2010. Join members of the public, government officials, and other key stakeholders for the first in a series of discussions about New York City's long term liabilities and pension costs. The first round table discussion will be an overview of long term liabilities and their implications. 8:00 AM -- Registration 8:30 AM -- Keynote & Panel Discussion MODERATOR Michael Powell New York Times KEYNOTE Richard Ravitch former Lt.

Now that peace talks are sort of on again with the Taliban–at least hopes of such talks have risen again, even if Kabul's outrage at Taliban preening in opening an embassy of sorts in Qatar has blocked the actual start of talks–the air is once again filled with talk of a prisoner exchange. The Taliban would love it if, as a sweetener for the talks and in exchange for the release of the only American prisoner they are holding, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the Obama administration would release five senior Taliban detainees from Guantanamo.
The New York Times today has a profile of the five, and it would be hard to imagine a more repugnant bunch. As the Times notes:
Two were senior Taliban commanders said to be implicated in murdering thousands of Shiites in Afghanistan. When asked about the alleged war crimes by an interrogator, they "did not express any regret and stated they did what they needed to do in their struggle to establish their ideal state," according to their interrogators.
There is also a former deputy director of Taliban intelligence, a former senior Taliban official said to have "strong operational ties" to various extremist militias, and a former Taliban minister accused of having sought help from Iran in attacking American forces.
If administration officials think they will win Taliban goodwill by releasing this rogue's gallery, even as the Taliban continue to kill American soldiers, they are dreaming. Detainee releases make sense when it is clear that the movement to which the detainees belong is tired of fighting and seriously interested in making peace. That was the case with most Sunni insurgents in Iraq in 2007, which is why Gen. David Petraeus released so many of them from coalition custody. It's not the case with the Taliban today: They remain convinced, reportedly, that they will take Kabul "in a week" once U.S. troops pull out. Making peace is not on the Taliban's agenda in Qatar; gaining international legitimacy is.
Yet for all that, I am not completely opposed to the release of the five Taliban detainees–as long as it is understood that the point is simply to win Sgt. Bergdahl's release. It is in general not a good policy to deal with terrorists, but democracies such as the U.S. and Israel have a long history of doing just that to win the release of their citizens; such concessions are perhaps inevitable in a liberal democracy which cares so much about its troops in particular. Israel, most recently, released some 1,000 Palestinian detainees to get Sgt. First Class Gilad Shalit out of Hamas's hands. By Israeli standards, the exchange of five Taliban detainees for one American sergeant is a good bargain.
Would the release of the Taliban prisoners increase the risk to American troops in Afghanistan? Possibly, but the difference these five would make would be minimal, especially when so many other Taliban detainees have already been released from coalition and Afghan custody. Many more will be sprung in the future now that the Kabul government, which is notoriously corrupt, has taken control of all detention facilities in Afghanistan from the U.S.
If the administration does decide to make the prisoner swap, at least it should not fool itself that it is helping to bring peace to Afghanistan. It would simply be a gesture of mercy for an imprisoned American soldier.

Fabulous Fiction Firsts #295
Now for something fun... try The Scrapbook of Frankie Pratt: a novel in pictures * by novelist Caroline Preston. It is the first of its kind - a scrapbook novel.
Former archivist at Harvard's Houghton Library, Preston pulls together her personal collection of vintage postcards, letters, magazine ads, ticket stubs, catalog pages, fabric swatches, candy wrappers, fashion spreads, menus and other prized ephemera to create an engaging Frankie Pratt as she makes her way in the dazzling world of the1920s. Preston chronicles Frankie's growing up a small New England town, the grief of losing her father, crossing paths with the likes of "Vincent" (Edna St. Vincent Millay) at Vassar, meeting exiled Russian princes, living free and wild in Paris as she searches for success and love.
"Lighter than lightweight but undeniably fun, largely because Preston is having so much fun herself." A total pleasure and visual feast. Definitely for scrapbookers and vintage hobbyist.

This killer line-up is not to be missed and is sure to be the ultimate musical Christmas party.
Status Quo themselves need no introduction: more hit singles than any other band, more hit albums than The Beatles, more appearances on TOTP than any other act; the superlatives keep coming. Roy Wood is one of the UK's most treasured songwriters; he created hits for The Move, ELO and of course Wizzard (a certain Christmas track among them). Kim Wilde became an instant new wave phenomenon in the '80s and was ever present in the charts with smashes like You Came, You Keep Me Hangin' On and of course the smash Kids In America. Incredibly, between them this trio has released around 170 chart singles!

Paper restarts digital subscription
Monday will mark the return of The Dispatch's digital subscription service.
Home delivery customers already having utilized free registration on hendersondispatch.com won't need to make any adjustments in their routines to view content.
"When we changed website hosts late in 2012, we removed the online subscription service," said Alan Wooten, publisher of The Dispatch. "Our dedicated effort to the community did not change. Readers and advertisers know, day after day throughout the year, we're the best source around and have been for nearly a century. Our newspaper is about them. It is their newspaper.
"The product we offer daily has great value. We share news and information that is important, useful and interesting. The production of that content is not free. We believe our readers join us in recognizing the value in our staff's work."
In relaunching the digital subscription service, a metering feature has been added. Metering allows readers without a subscription to view a limited amount of content in a determined time period. The Dispatch will offer seven articles over 30 days before requiring a subscription.
Home delivery customers with The Dispatch will have access to digital content at no extra charge, but they will need to register online for access.
Access to digital content only, the E-edition without home delivery, will be available but not in the one-day format previously offered.
Customers who had a balance on their accounts in December 2012 when digital only service was suspended will resume their accounts. Those who have not registered since December 2012 will need to register; those who have already registered since and created new user names and passwords should immediately have access.
"First, we want to be a great newspaper," Wooten said. "That's our mission. And then, we want to make it better."

Who the heck is going to to all the work on dis contract when da chancellor fires all dose peoples?
That the Times Picayune devoted two short paragraphs to this disaster is a sad commentary. That Martha Carr, an editor, doesn't know the difference between teachers (K-12 faculty) and professors (university faculty), is a sad commentary on her knowledge, her ability to report, and the paper's choice of editors. Perhaps she didn't go to college so doesn't know the difference?
O'Brian was great for UNO during the first half of his time there. After that, he was "off" his game.
Ryan has a vision of his own for UNO. He asks for faculty input, and input from staff -- then he totally ignores it and implements his vision. In short, he is "THE boss." Whether or not his vision is best for UNO, best for the present and future students remains to be seen. It's certainly not the best for the loyal faculty who remained after Katrina to help rebuild UNO and are now facing unemployment. They had opportunities to move to higher paying positions, but stayed out of devotion to their institution. That loyalty has not been reciprocated. Most of the faculty and senior staff don't think Ryan's moving in the right direction. However, nobody can question Ryan's dedication to UNO. At the same time, whether or not he is a good administrator is highly questionable.
It's truly very complicated -- much more so than most realize. Ryan is working under tremendous restrictions. What's most disappointing is that he doesn't really listen. He's just going down the path he chooses. The faculty and senior staff have made suggestions that would soften the blows and help keep things together at UNO. But Ryan won't listen.
When will we ever move past race? Why do we need schools that cater to one race? BTW, UNO has the second largest African-American student population in the state. And their graduates can perform well post graduation. Only about 6% of SUNO's law school grads can pass the bar. Wouldn't SUNO's law school students be better off at another school? Ditto other students?
I've always wondered why it's the Lower 9th that gets virtually ALL of the "play" in the media when Lakeview wash hit just as hard. And the both have the same (lack of) recovery rates. Most of those who lived in Lavekview in their small 2 BR/1 Bath homes were working class individuals -- many (most?) retired. So many of them had $30,000 - $40,000 flood insurance on their home (if they had any) -- whatever was required by the mortage company when they bought their home many, many years ago. Most have not returned. I know so many cases where they simply don't have the resources or energy, so have moved in with relatives outside of New Orleans.
For me, it would have to be a movie celebrating our independence from the Brits (who interestingly are now our great(est?) allies OR a move celebrating The Greatest Generation.
So, how about Mel Gibson's "The Patriot"
John Wayne in "The Longest Day" and/or "Saving Private Ryan"?
When Obama was elected, I prayed hard that he would be the best president of my lifetime (which includes FDR, Truman, Ike,....JFK, ....Reagan, etc. In one year he has proven to be a bigger disappointment to me than Bush W. While our economy and the democratic party crumbles around us, he continues his push for socialized medicine and communism. Yes, I said communism. Got your attention? What do you think he means when he says sharing the wealth. Think the projects were bad? Just give him two terms and let him put his agenda in place and NOLA will be in worse shape than the USSR ever was. I still hope he wakes up and realizes that he's not leading the people where we want to go.
Previous Post "The warmer climate will cause higher ocean temperatures, which means more ocean water evaporating. More water in the air results in more precipitation on earth. I don't belief this storm is proof of climate change; my point is that strong winter storms do not rule out climate change."
Reply: Well Duh! But the increased precipitation would be rain, not snow, if the climate was warm, right?
I have no problem with increasing their pay -- IF they reduce my real estate and city sales taxes by the same percentage as their pay increase!
I could live with once a week. But I'll expect a 50% reduction in fees! My taxes were more than doubled (friends had increases of up to 500%) and we got more for out money: more crime, more potholes, more streets closed, more vacant lots, more neglected homes.
I am sick to death of politicians pocketing our money (witness the latest -- Moffert, Nagin & the tech gang making $ from the crime camera deals) and then telling us they don't have enough to run the city.
Why not just go back to the old garbage collection system which cost around 1/3 of the current one? That would save even more and not reduce service.

A southern California school district serving more than 17,000 students and 1,000 educators across 28 campuses is beefing up its wireless network.
Ventura Unified School District, in Ventura, CA, has deployed a new wireless LAN system to improve coverage and support for its 1-to-1 and interactive learning programs as well as a mobile healthcare clinic.
VUSD chose Ruckus Wireless's ZoneFlex Smart Wireless LAN system, including 500 ZoneFlex dual-band 802.11n Smart Wi-Fi access points (APs), for its schools and 140,000-square foot district office, according to a statement released this week by Ruckus. The new WLAN replaces a legacy network that struggled to meet the district's growing demand for wireless. "We were encountering problems daily due to dropped connections and limited coverage," said Ted Malos, VUSD's director of IT, in the prepared statement.
To deliver wireless coverage across each campus, ceiling-mounted APs were installed in every other classroom at each school. Every AP connects to the LAN. Unused cable drops, available in most classrooms, enabled a path to the network closet where installers patched the connections to the district's Power over Ethernet (POE) switches. VUSD was able to integrate its new system into its existing wiring closets without the need for "mid-span power injectors or electrical services," according to the statement. The APs are managed by one ZoneDirector 5000 controller located at the district office.
The wireless network supports VUSD's mobile computing and interactive learning initiatives, said Malos. In addition to using mobile laptop carts and netbooks in its classrooms, VUSD also works with a number of agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), to provide programs that enable students to participate in live videoconference discussions with experts from different fields.

SACRAMENTO - Being smart when lighting off fireworks is a topic that arises every year around the Fourth of July. But with Sacramento's extremely dry conditions this year, being safe and sensible with fireworks is more important than ever.
Fireworks go on sale at stands throughout the county at noon Thursday and fire officials are urging individuals to utilize safe and sensible practices when celebrating the Fourth.
Earlier this week, fire officials held a press conference reminding everyone of the zero tolerance policy in regards to buying or selling illegal fireworks.
The illegal fireworks are the ones that explode, leave the ground, or move around on the ground uncontrollably.
The easiest way to prevent firework-related fires, is to only purchase safe and sane fireworks. Those are typically the items that display the state fire marshal seal of approval on the package.
Fireworks will be on sale through noon on July 6th.
