This is the only shark/ray tooth that I have seen found (i did not find it) on the Holderness.
It came from Skipsea and was found as an erratic, probably coming from the Cretaceous chalk of Bempton or Flamborough and left behind by a receading glazier many thousands of years ago.
Can someone put a name to it please?
I Would say it's from pychodus anonymus. Quite a strange tooth. I like fossil hunting on the Yorkshire Coast but the thing is you can only really find ammonites, bellemites, brachiopods, the odd fish fossils, and the occasional coral, and if you are extremely lucky, you can find ichthyosaur fossils and shark fossils. I'm going to redcarr in the spring: do I stand a good chance of finding an ichthyosaur fossil because the fossils there are 200 million years old which is the perfect age for an ichthyosaur fossil?
Looks most like Ptychodus latissimus to me. A variety of this species (sometimes classified as a species in its own right), P. paucisulctaus, seems to fit.
... Although on second thoughts this variety is not known from Yorkshire (according to the book 'Fossils of the Chalk'). So I'd just stick with P.latissimus.
Thank's Dan and Quagga for your answers, although i have found sponges, echinoids, crinoides and ammonites from the cretaceous chalk as erratics on the Holderness this is the first shark/ray crushing plate I have witnessed.
I should have taked an image of the reverse because it is covered in bone.
Maybe the fossil bone on the bottom could actually be fossil cartilage from its jaw.
Hi Dan
You could be right on the cartilage, as for what I understand the only remains you usually find from a shark is the fin spine and the teeth but as it is something very rare from the Holderness I am open to any information at all.
Please see image of the back of the specimen.
It is the tooth's root.
I don't think it is the root. If you go on www.fossiliferous.co.uk and then go on sharks UK mozeoic, you will see fossil carterlage from the jaw which lookes simular. Also, the bone looks too small to be the root to me. I'm not sure on the species, but I thinkit looks different to the species quagga suggested.
That's made me wonder Quagga and Dan, the tooth had to be set into something but what? the crushing plate looks to be in direct contact with the bone.
When you say it had to be set in something do you mean it had to have been in a rock. Maybe it didn't actually come from chalk but shale. Usually the fossils from chalk are more white and fossils from shale can be a number of different colours.
Hi Dan
The tooth/crushing plate is definately in contact with bone - it's not rock - honey combe structure etc interesting about the colour though.
That is a great specimen! The "bone" is without doubt the root of the shark tooth, I have collected a number of these from the chalk and all look similar to that. I agree with the ID of Ptychodus latissimus.
Thank you UK Fossil Guy
You and Quagga must specialise in the Cretaceous chalk.
I am very interested in this specimen. Do you have any clear photos I could use for filed reference?
Many thanks.
Hello Thomas
So-long as I have the time tomorow I will take some more images in the daylight and post tomorow evening.
Nice collection, do you have any sharks teeth from the red chalk?
Thank you Tabfish. The red chalk I have been to has not been all that productive, upper levels have produced greater numbers of specimens.
Hi Thomas
As promised some images of the Ray's Plate, hope they are ok for you.
Got quite a few sponges I would like the ID for as well! but another nite I think.
Thats's brilliant, thank you for the extra images. I have not heard of a Ptychodus tooth found as an arratic before. They are scarce enough in the chalk and to have one survive like this is just incredible.
It is quite a large shark tooth so would have been near the centre of the tooth palate. For obvious reasons it is fairly worn but this has brought out the beautiful internal structure of the tooth.
Thanks again for the pictures. I will be more than happy to help with your sponges.
Thank you Thomas
I hope I have time tomorow to take some images of the sponges and a couple of special echinoids I have found on the Holderness.

StriVectin-AR Advanced Retinol Eye Treatment
This eye cream from StriVectin came close to earning our top rating, but was downgraded due to the fragrance it contains.
SD Advanced Intensive Concentrate for Wrinkles and Stretch Marks
The latest version of StriVectin is an anti-aging powerhouse that contains a very good mix of beneficial ingredients.
Add to Faves?
StriVectin At-A-Glance
Strengths: A good cleanser and a couple of worthwhile moisturizers.
Weaknesses: Expensive; The original (and now the "improved" StriVectin-SD product (and every other product sold under this brand name) is absolutely not better than Botox; some of the products contain irritant peppermint oil; the Deep Wrinkle serum is terrible.
We had previously written about the original StriVectin-SD, when a reader asked about its ability to repair stretch marks. That was StriVectin's initial claim to fame, though the fame was all self-promoted, as there is not a single independent, peer-reviewed study to prove that StriVectin is an effective option for repairing stretch marks. The studies that do exist about StriVectin's benefits for stretch marks were paid for by Klein-Becker, the company that distributes StriVectin (and is associated with Bremenn Research Labs, which has a growing history of trouble with the FDA and various watchdog advertising organizations).
According to the company's ads, they were surprised to find that not only was StriVectin-SD getting rid of women's stretch marks, but also that somehow their facial wrinkles were going away, too. This discovery lead to the astounding "antiwrinkle breakthrough of the decade." What followed were the now-famous magazine ads that posed the question of whether StriVectin was "Better Than Botox?" Not surprisingly, this ad captured the attention of millions of people concerned with mitigating signs of aging "without painful injections".
Regrettably, no supportive research needs to be available to sell this kind of hyperbole. All it takes is to promise women that a product will get rid of their wrinkles and they will buy it in droves, no matter how many other product lines, infomercials, advertisements, or cosmetics salespeople pledge the exact same thing. StriVectin isn't and was never "better than Botox"!
Of course, now the original, lauded StriVectin-SD product has been replaced by what the company describes as a "super-charged comprehensive skin repair cream for stretch marks, wrinkles, and aging skin". It seems there's no aging skin concern this product cannot address, but as it turns out, the updated formula presents the same drawbacks as the original, although it is arguably a better formulation (just not for stretch marks).
As for the rest of the StriVectin line, it contains proportionately more misses than hits. It isn't the anti-wrinkle answer and in fact some of their products contain the type of irritating ingredients that hurt your skin's ability to look and function in a younger manner.

I've sounded the alarm over the dangers of Sustainable Development and the agenda for top-down control through what proponents call the "Three Es," which includes the Environment, the Economy, and Social Equity. A fourth rail to imposing Agenda 21 is called Corporate Social Responsibility. It is the direct result of the merging of the Three Es. CSR is the map to understanding why corporations are actively promoting the "green" agenda – even to the detriment of their own business.
Picture, if you will, an Isosceles triangle. And label each point: 1. Government Power 2. Corporate Money 3. NGOs Agenda
The truth is, corporations aren't always willing players in the partnerships — neither is government, for that matter. Many times both are answering to pressure from activists with a specific agenda.

This is going to be old info for many, but maybe new to some.
As time permits I've been working through the blog posts on venganza.org from the present back to the beginning. I'm on page 117 now and found this awesome Invisible Pink Unicorn vs. Flying Spaghetti Monster song.
It's a shame the audio is so blown out or it would be a true masterpiece. The lyrics - especially in the beginning parts of the song, are brilliant.
Personally, FSM vs. a unicorn (pink, invisible or otherwise), my money is on his holy Monsterness.

No part of the money appropriated by any enactment of Congress shall, in the absence of express authorization by Congress, be used directly or indirectly to pay for any personal service, advertisement, telegram, telephone, letter, printed or written matter, or other device, intended or designed to influence in any manner a Member of Congress, a jurisdiction, or an official of any government, to favor, adopt, or oppose, by vote or otherwise, any legislation, law, ratification, policy, or appropriation, whether before or after the introduction of any bill, measure, or resolution proposing such legislation, law, ratification, policy, or appropriation; but this shall not prevent officers or employees of the United States or of its departments or agencies from communicating to any such Member or official, at his request, or to Congress or such official, through the proper official channels, requests for any legislation, law, ratification, policy, or appropriations which they deem necessary for the efficient conduct of the public business, or from making any communication whose prohibition by this section might, in the opinion of the Attorney General, violate the Constitution or interfere with the conduct of foreign policy, counter-intelligence, intelligence, or national security activities. Violations of this section shall constitute violations of section 1352 (a) of title 31.

Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 201 (July 11, 1919, ch. 6, § 6,41 Stat. 68).
Reference to "department" and "agency" was added in three instances after the words "United States" to remove doubt as to the scope of the section. (See definitions of "department" and "agency" in section 6 of this title.)
Reference to the offense as a misdemeanor was omitted as unnecessary in view of the definitive section 1 of this title.
Words "on conviction thereof" were omitted as surplusage since punishment can be imposed only after conviction.
Minor changes were made in phraseology.

POTSDAM Despite his own reservations about surfing the Web, Daniel Z. Martin realized a better way of selling vegetables and other farm produce was in the smartphones and mobile devices he saw in the hands of his customers.
I see a significant number of them with Internet access. It creates an opportunity, Mr. Martin said. It got me thinking we ought to do something for our stand. The other thing my mind was working on was I see a lot of people trying to make a living out of what theyre raising.
Many local producers are on back roads, making it difficult for a buyer who, for example, wants organic carrots from one farmer and honey from another to make purchases.
Its a hard shopping experience, Mr. Martin said.
He has established a website, www.martinsfarmstand.locallygrown.net, featuring local products that will start taking orders in early May to coincide with the opening of his family stand at Needham Road near Potsdam.
Mr. Martin and his family might not give the outward appearance of being proponents of the Internet age; they are Christians with old-style ways of doing things, but they use more modern conveniences than Swartzentruber Amish, some of whom will sell at the market.
Theres a lot of Mennonite culture in us, Mr. Martin said. The question in our lives is what does God think? Is this a good wholesome thing to be doing?
Mr. Martin and members of his family are known for their creative solutions to agricultural questions. Mr. Martin invented a three-wheeled motorized harvester and his brother, Luray Z., built a solar-powered greenhouse.
Mr. Martin does not think of himself as a computer person.
Its a tool Im learning how to use because it has a job to do. Its not something youll find me hanging out on, on Facebook, he said. From a religious standpoint, Im not adverse. I liken it to a city. Theres a lot of potential good and a lot of potential mischief, to just loiter on the street corner and see who you might meet. To loiter on your computer, its a little scary.
Shoppers will be able to use the site to pick and choose what they want and have it ready for them at a once-a-week pickup time at the stand.
This will allow you to customize what you need, Mr. Martin said.
Ordering online allows for fresher products, a larger selection than if going to a single farm, less chance that a trip is wasted and convenient ordering.
For producers, it will give them greater access to market and more flexibility.
Once the site is activated, buyers can put an item in their cart, just like any other online shopping experience, edit it, cancel the order or proceed to checkout. The inventory that is listed will deduct each time somebody orders so that the producer knows how much he has to deliver.
He can see in real time what has sold, Mr. Martin said. Inventory is not trapped and can be sold elsewhere.
The system could also be an advantage for the backyard grower who does not make a living at gardening but would like to sell the occasional bumper crop of cucumbers.
Mr. Martin sometimes buys extra produce from growers he knows if chemical sprays are not used. For the online market, he will offer produce grown with conventional fertilizer and sprays, so long as they are identified as such.
Theres a market for both. The main thing Im going to be demanding is honesty and ethical business practices, he said. This is about serving us in St. Lawrence County, our little growers.
Mr. Martin said he does not plan to solicit goods from far away but may make an exception for certain fruit not grown in the north country, or if it is clear where the produce comes from so that the consumer can make the choice. Most of the goods offered will be local because the cost of delivery is self-limiting.
Its a model that could grow as big as the capacity of our parking lot, he said. If it gets bigger, well make a bigger parking lot.
Producers and regular buyers will pay a fee to cover Mr. Martins costs, which includes membership in the Locally Grown network, which provides the software package. Charging consumers a membership fee also inspires loyalty, Mr. Martin said.
The site also provides an opportunity for consumer reminders of what is in season, whether or not they buy from the Martin stand or another local producer.
Mission accomplished, Mr. Martin said.

Buses are the best and cheapest way to get around in Muscat. Modern buses travel major roads with specific bus stops. For more out of the way destinations, Baiza buses are common and zigzag through the back roads effectively, although the buses themselves are sometimes a bit dilapidated. Taxies are widely available and an easy way to get to and from the airport. Insist that the driver uses their meter unless there isn't one, in which case agree on a price before getting into the car. Taxis are expensive but convenient when you can't find a bus or don't want to wait in the sun. There is no subway or railway in Muscat and some travellers decide to rent a car and drive themselves around.
Electrical current is 220/240 volts, 50Hz. Plugs with rectangular, three-pin flat blades are used.
The currency of Oman is the Omani Rial (OMR), divided into 1,000 baisa. Foreign currency can be exchanged at banks, exchange bureaux, hotels and at the airport. Outside banking hours, moneychangers operate in the evenings and at weekends. US Dollars are recommended. American Express, MasterCard and Visa credit cards are readily accepted in large shops and hotels and by an increasing number of traders in souqs. Most banks in cities and towns have ATMs.
The international direct dialling code for Oman is +968, and the outgoing international code 00, followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 0044 for the UK). City/area codes are not necessary. Oman has GSM and 3G mobile phone networks in operation, with international roaming agreements with most international operaters. There are internet cafes in main towns and cities.

Despite being on the coast, the weather in Muscat can be unbearably hot. The best time to visit is between December and March, when the more temperate winter season provides humane temperatures. February is the coolest month. The rest of the year temperatures can be well over 100°F (38°C). Sudden rain can cause flash floods, although precipitation is unusual.
Public buses run by the Oman National Transport Company stop on Sultan Qaboos Highway outside of the airport complex.
Car rental facilities are available in the public concourse outside the arrival area.
Taxis from Muscat International Airport can be found outside the arrivals hall. They have a convenient fare chart for major hotels. Taxis are also available for transport to other cities inside Oman.
The airport is currently being enlarged. There is a currency exchange bureau, food courts in the arrivals and departures sections, a large, well-stocked duty-free shop in both arrivals and departures, and a book shop. There are public telephones, a prayer room and left luggage facilities.
Short and long term parking facilities are available in front of the terminal building for a cost.
Free wifi is provided throughout the airport, but a mobile phone is required for registration.

While state delegates were meeting in Parkersburg to elect a new governor, a confederate general was planning to capture the city. He decided against it, and Parkersburg native Arthur I. Boreman was chosen the first governor of what would soon be the state of West Virginia. It all happened 150 years ago this week.
"In fact, there was a rumor that General (grumble) Jones had 10,000 troops," noted Dave McKain, Director of the Oil and Gas Museum. "So, it brought in troops from all over the country to protect Parkersburg. He only had 1500 troops, but that's a lot of cavalry. They got to Cairo and said, 'we don't think we're going to try to take Parkersburg'. So, he went south and burned Burning Springs."
It's the reason for a new exhibit, introduced Monday to members of the Parkersburg Rotary Club. It includes original pre-photography lithographs from the Civil War, as well as letters and proclamations signed by General Robert E. Lee and President Abraham Lincoln. and McKain says they have a future beyond the Oil and Gas Museum.
"We'll keep them here until the end of (the anniversary of) the Civil War, then we'll pack them up. We're eventually going to build a museum at Henderson Hall, and a lot of things from Henderson Hall will go to that museum."
West Virginia's first state capital was Wheeling. but McKain wants everyone to know a major portion of its formation took place in our area.
The lithographs were found at Henderson hall and were, for years, collected by its late owner, Michael Ralston.

When you're looking for a firm to help you get out of debt, don't rely on an Internet search.By Laura CohnFrom Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine, May 2009
When Lanette Bridges set out to tackle her massive pile of debt -- $30,000 in credit-card bills and bank loans -- a couple of years ago, she turned to the Internet first. Bridges typed "credit-counseling services" into an online search engine to find an agency that would help her pay it off. Bridges, an assistant teacher at a child-care center in Imperial, Mo., found an agency that promised to withdraw money every month from her bank account to repay her creditors. She signed up.
Several months later, Bridges was still getting calls from her creditors. When she contacted the agency, she was told not to worry. But she checked her balances with her creditors anyway -- and saw that her debt hadn't decreased.
At that point, a friend recommended she call ClearPoint Financial Solutions, another agency. This time, she checked with the Better Business Bureau to make sure ClearPoint was legit. It was. A ClearPoint counselor was able to talk to her creditors, explain what happened and work out a payment plan. But Bridges still lost the more than $2,000 the bogus firm withdrew from her checking account.
With consumer debt at sky-high levels, such stories are becoming all too common. Two prevalent schemes involve companies that claim to be credit-counseling agencies and firms that say they are "debt settlement" organizations. A legitimate credit-counseling agency will educate you about budgeting and how to use credit, as well as help you set up a debt-management plan if you need one. A debt-settlement firm merely offers to negotiate with your creditors. But bogus companies take your money and run.
Since 2001, the Federal Trade Commission has sued 14 firms that claimed to be credit-counseling agencies or debt-settlement firms but allegedly were neither. Last fall, as a result of one of the suits, a record $12.7 million was returned to 287,000 victims.
In a related scam, often hawked in radio ads, firms claim to be able to "repair" your credit record or make your credit score go up virtually overnight. "Steer clear of a credit-repair firm that claims it can take accurate, negative information off your credit report," says Lynne Strang, vice-president of the American Financial Services Association, the trade association for the consumer credit industry. "They can't." If your credit score has been hurt by inaccurate information, you can alert the credit-reporting agency on your own.
Is it legit? Once you get in the door, ask about fees. If the credit counselor won't talk about what the agency charges, walk away. According to the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, the initial counseling session should be free or cost very little -- $15 or so. If, after a 60- to 90-minute initial consultation, you sign up for a one-time debt-management plan, the average fee is $28. If you enter an extended debt-management program, you may end up paying about $23 a month.
If the agency tells you to stop paying your creditors, that's a bad sign -- if you stop paying your bills, that puts your credit rating at risk.
Also beware of agencies that pressure you to sign up for a debt-management program. Some agencies focus on such programs because they're paid by the creditors to sign up clients.
We'll help you set goals, adopt a strategy, make investing a habit and control your risks.August 2007
You want a home of your own, an education for your kids, a comfortable retirement someday and a little fun along the way. These are the dreams we all seem to be born with. To achieve them, we must become investors.
A brilliantly executed program of saving -- putting your money into certificates of deposit, money-market funds or savings bonds -- can earn 5% to 6% in a good year. With inflation at 3% (some would say that's optimistic) and taxes taking away another 25% or so of what remains, that 5% return quickly becomes about 1.5%. You're going to have to do a lot better than that.
You should aim for an average return of 10% to 12% per year on your investments. You won't make it every year, but that's an achievable range if you plan your approach thoughtfully and stick to your plan.
Successful investors don't jump around from one place to another according to what's hot and what's not. They operate from a plan that's based on their goals, how long they have to achieve them, their tolerance for risk (both financial and psychological), and what they can afford to set aside for an investment program. You want to make money, of course, but you also want to be able to sleep at night. Here's how to do it.

A little addition to its earnings release shows how serious Penney is about the web.
A little addition to its latest quarterly earnings release last week shows just how serious J.C. Penney is about upping its e-commerce game.
In its financial press release for the second quarter ended July 31, J.C. Penney, No. 16 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, reported actual web sales for the very first time. For almost a decade, J.C. Penney disclosed the percent increase for JCP.com in its quarterly release, but not an actual number. But in the numbers the chain disclosed for Q2, J.C. Penney said web sales increased year over year about 4% to $317 million from $305.1 million in the second quarter of 2009.
That number—and the fact that J.C. Penney is shining more light on its quarterly e-commerce sales performance—are very significant. For starters, J.C. Penney is now giving Wall Street analysts, employees, customers and business journalists more insight into what I see as its most important channel: e-commerce. These days what metrics the big chain retailers publicly report on their clicks, conversions and online sales are just as important as the figures they disclose on comparable-stores sales, lease rates and sales per square foot.
More important, the disclosure of actual web sales shows just how vital a healthy and growing web channel is to the future of J.C. Penney—and how far the company must go to get back to the top of the summit in online retailing.
A decade ago J.C. Penney leveraged its large catalog operation to become a substantial online retailer. By 2007, while other chains still didn't grasp the strategic importance of e-commerce, J.C. Penney sailed past $1 billion in annual web sales.
But in recent years, annual web sales for J.C. Penney have topped out at about $1.5 billion. The chain's older catalog shoppers are now its primary web shoppers, but the push is on to retool JCP.com and appeal to a younger audience with more private label merchandise.
In June chief information officer and newly appointed chief e-commerce executive Tom Nealon told attendees at the Goldman Sachs Dot Commerce conference in New York that J.C. Penney will use an aggressive mix of new e-commerce technology and other tactics to generate $1 billion in new Internet revenue over the next four to five years.
With store sales that grew only 0.9 in the second quarter and 1.3% so far this year, J.C. Penney needs a bolder, more aggressive and youth-oriented approach to e-commerce—and now.
While J.C. Penney was tooling along with its existing e-commerce platform and mediocre performance online, it was losing revenue and customers to more ambitious competitors such as Amazon.com, which grew sales in the second quarter year over year 41.3% $6.57 billion from $4.65 billion, and Sears Holdings Corp, which is practically reinventing its entire brand strategy online these days.
But now J.C. Penney is shaking off the rust and looking to show its investors and customers that it's not game over for its once ambitious e-commerce channel. In fact, J.C. Penney will replace all of the key components of its e-commerce infrastructure over the next 18 months. With a new infrastructure in place, J.C. Penney will then be able to expand its social marketing program and develop full-scale mobile commerce technology. When fully rolled out, J.C. Penney's mobile commerce program will include more couponing and support multiple wireless device operating systems, including iPhone and Android, the retailer says.
I, for one, applaud J.C. Penney's willingness to reinvent its e-commerce channel and in charting future progress by giving out actual quarterly web sales.
J.C. Penney still has to play some serious catch-up ball with its rivals, but it's not game over. I look forward to J.C. Penney's third quarter earnings release on Nov. 12 and to seeing what the e-commerce scorecard shows. I expect to see some pretty decent progress.

Portland is known for coffee and beer. But not coffee beer.
Despite having the nation's best crop of small-batch coffee roasters and making some of the nation's best suds, few Portland breweries put the two together. Sure, there are occasionally interesting offerings—Laurelwood made a limited release called Cascara Obscura out of the cherry fruit that houses coffee beans—but the only coffee beer consistently made in the city is Hopworks' Survival 7-Grain Stout, brewed with cold-pressed Stumptown beans.
At this point, Voodoo and Rogue have teamed up to release two doughnut-flavored beers—the new chocolate, peanut butter and banana version falls somewhere between a black banana peel that's been aging in your glove box and a banana pancake that's been vomited—which is twice as many coffee beers as Portland makes.
So what's the best coffee beer on local shelves? Four WW tasters—Martin Cizmar, Rebecca Jacobson, Brian Yaeger and Luis Till—graded everything available in a blind taste-off.
Our Pick:
Alesmith Speedway Stout
Score: 87
The San Diego brewery's much-hyped imperial coffee stout more than held up to scrutiny. Its barrel-aged cousin was once named the best beer in the world by ratebeer.com. The regular version is coal black with a strong anise flavor and deep caramel head. Dripping with fudge and coffee, it's as rich and strong as a digestif.
Tasters said: "Decadent! The perfect marriage of coffee and stout" and "A boozy buffet in your mouth."
Also Recommended:
Fire Mountain Steam Fired Stout
Score: 81
Fire Mountain's Steam Fired Stout is not actually a coffee beer—there are no beans in this brew—but we couldn't tell that in a blind taste-off. The mocha and cream in this lighter-bodied and bubbly stout from Carlton really impressed us.
Tasters said: "Exactly what a coffee stout should be" and "Just enough cream without being indulgent."
Oakshire Overcast Espresso Stout
Score: 73
Possibly the best-loved Oregon coffee beer locally, Eugene's Oakshire makes a smooth and silky stout that was the most drinkable bottle in the lot.
Tasters said: "Big roast, nice and black like I like my coffee" and "I finished that huge glass you gave me?"
Southern Tier Jah-Va Imperial Coffee Stout
Score: 63
Sweet, light, but full-flavored, New York's Southern Tier makes a fine, if a little acidic, stout.
Tasters said: "Full-bodied but not heavy, like drinking a really fit lover" and "Molasses—yum?"
Middle of the Pack:
Full Sail LTD 06 Lager
Score: 55
"There's no coffee or chocolate in this beer, but your mouth will insist otherwise," the bottle claims. We wouldn't necessarily insist, but we might suppose.
Tasters said: "Off notes permeate" and "Light body, but pretty uninteresting."
Elysian Split Shot Espresso Milk Stout
Score: 52
We didn't find any of the creaminess we'd expect from this milk stout of Seattle's Elysian Brewing Company, but we did begin to relive memories of roadside diner coffee.
Tasters said: "Like the coffee that's been sitting in the pot all day" and "Mmm, Bosco and instant coffee."
Hub Survival 7-Grain Stout
Score: 48
Like we said, given the great coffee and beer in this town, it's a shame no one has put it together in a really extraordinary way on a regular basis. In a blind taste-off, one of our favorite Hopworks beers didn't stack up against the others.
Tasters said: "Musty, weird, punchy.... Uncle Larry, is that you?" and "Nice and light, but smells."
Bottom of the Pot:
Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout
Score: 42
We're still looking for the cappuccino among the Starbucks bitterness. We expected better from this Northern California brewery.
Tasters said: "Is bitterer a word?" and "Coffee + ammonia = nope."
Rogue Mocha Porter
Score: 40
Most of this very stale beer from the Newport brewery ended up in the dump glass. Oh well, at least Rogue has the doughnut-beer market cornered.
Tasters said: "Maybe if I wanted a very mild coffee flavor on a 100-degree day" and "Thin like an anorexic supermodel: all fizz."

LOWVILLE An administrative hearing was held Wednesday for Lewis Countys suspended recreational trail coordinator, Robert C. Diehl, 43, following allegations of third-degree grand larceny, first-degree offering a false instrument for filing and official misconduct.
After consideration, which he said wont take long, retired state Supreme Court Justice John S. Parker will make a recommendation to the Board of Legislators on whether to reinstate or terminate Mr. Diehl.
For more than five hours, witnesses testified to the events leading up to Mr. Diehls suspension in mid-November.
The chain of events began in May when Mr. Diehl ordered gravel from V.S. Virkler & Sons for personal use at his town of Martinsburg home.
Mr. Diehl admitted to receiving 14 truckloads of material and, later, the bill at his residence. He said he planned to pay the bill, but was delayed partly because of the unexpected price of $3,500.
It was almost $2,000 more than I expected, he said.
He chose Virkler to deliver the stone for the base of a barn he was building because of its proximity to his property. Just eight miles down the road, he said he thought its price would be the cheapest.
Though he estimated he had weekly conversations with the staff at Virkler about county orders, he never contacted it about his personal account.
Instead, he said, he decided to wait to pay the bill until his barn was complete. When late bills arrived at his residence, he placed them in a file to pay later without opening them, he said.
I knew the payment was late. I didnt need to read it. I knew I had enough money to pay it when the barn was finished, he said.
Karen Reynolds, office manager at Virkler, said she sent bills to the Diehl residence after initially confirming the order was for personal use.
She said bills were sent in May and August. In September, a bill was generated that included a finance charge for late payment, but that bill then was voided as one of the owners did not want to charge the late fee. It was not clear whether a bill was sent in September.
About Oct. 8, another bill was sent, this time with a notation that a finance charge would follow.
In addition to that bill, Ms. Reynolds said, unanswered calls were made to Mr. Diehls residence and the same bill was sent to Mr. Diehl at his county email address.
Mr. Diehl could not recall receiving the email, but said he gets about 75 work-related emails a day. A late bill, he said, normally would be printed out immediately and placed in a pile for payment.
I didnt expect a personal bill at work. If it comes in a Virkler envelope, it goes in the Virkler pile to get paid, he said, adding the county orders tens of thousands of dollars in materials from Virkler in the course of a year.
This bill was an email attachment without the customary Virkler letterhead. It was addressed to Mr. Diehl at his personal residence. Nevertheless, it was submitted to the county for payment.
It also did not have the necessary weigh slips attached, which later came into question when both legislative Clerk Teresa K. Clark and Deputy Clerk Deanna Smith testified.
Mrs. Clark said only a department head, such as Mr. Diehl, may submit a purchase order to the county for payment.
According to Mrs. Clark, the deputy made an error in not catching the mistake in Mr. Diehls submission for payment about Oct. 25. The purchase order was approved despite its lack of weigh slips and its delivery address to Mr. Diehls residence.
It was submitted along with two other bills, both with Virkler letterheads and weigh slips and addressed to the county.
It then was passed on to the countys Ways and Means Committee, composed of legislators Richard C. Lucas, R-Barnes Corners, William J. Burke, R-West Lowville, and Jerry H. King, R-West Leyden.
Mr. Lucas said his committee approved the payment, which appears on a list of claims but does not come with attached receipts. The request was then passed on to the Board of Legislators, which also approved the payment at its Nov. 6 meeting.
When Ms. Reynolds received a check for payment, she alerted one of the Virkler owners, as well as fellow employee and Board of Legislators Chairman Jack T. Bush, R-Brantingham, of the overpayment. After checking Mr. Diehls account, it appeared the overage was a similar amount.
Mr. Bush contacted County Manager David H. Pendergast and County Attorney Richard J. Graham and the check was not cashed.
During testimony, Mr. Pendergast was questioned by Mr. Graham and Michael F. Young, who along with attorney Gary W. Miles is representing Mr. Diehl.
Mr. Pendergast conducted an investigation on his part and consulted with Mr. Graham.
At that time we made the decision to call the sheriff, he said.
On the afternoon of Nov. 14, Mr. Diehl was called for a meeting by Mr. Pendergast.
When entering the room, he was met by Mr. Graham, Mr. Pendergast, Sheriff Michael P. Carpinelli and senior Investigator Dale W. Roberts.
Mr. Diehl said in the course of his daily work, it would not be uncommon to meet with the men, so he was not alarmed.
When he was accused of falsely filing a purchase order, Mr. Pendergast said, His initial reaction was he didnt know how it got submitted and was upset.
Mr. Diehl asked to go to his office to get his records and was accompanied by Mr. Roberts.
Its in there. Its a horrible mistake, Mr. Pendergast recalled Mr. Diehl saying when he returned with identical paperwork.
Mr. Diehl said he then was notified he could resign from his position or face an administrative hearing. He said he chose the hearing because he knew it was just a mistake, though it was possible he could be arrested after the hearing.
During the hearing, Mr. Graham denied having the authority to make such a decision and suggested the investigator made the statement, which later proved false.
The following day Mr. Diehl paid his past bill with a check at Virkler and received a receipt. Ms. Reynolds said Mr. Diehl did not mention the mistake, but said he was there to pay a late bill.
His payment, Ms. Reynolds said, was not applied. She said the county later called and directed her to cash the first check she had received as this was under way.
Because Mr. Diehls position is under Civil Service Law, his suspension must be paid until the results of the hearing are known.

Ann Marie
Covington Twp., Pa.

These pants fit like a dream! I love the fact that I can get them in tall.
Terrific fit
These cords fit like a glove! Exactly what I was looking for.
Gina A
Los Altos, CA
Tall 5 pocket cords
I have 4 pair and they all fit perfectly the same. Love the fit and that they are long enough for me.They wash well and hold there shape. Will buy more.
love these cords
This is the 3rd pair of this brand of cords that I have bought. They are not too heavy and are very comfortable as well as being neat looking for work.
Palo Alto, CA
good fit
They are curvy and the tall nice and long (I am 5'9"). I bought 3 pairs and all fit the same.
Clovis, CA
nice fit
Got lots of compliments. I really liked the way they fit.
Baseball mom
Not curvy fit
Color: Have Raspberry Multi color. Pretty.Fabric: soft, a little stretchyFit: regular NOT curvy. Had to take in waist. Would have sent back but too costly. I am 5'6.5" 145 lbs 33" waist 42" hips.
Mountain View, CA
Great Pants!!
The pants fit like a dream. I always love the fact that Chadwicks carries tall sizes. These are perfectly sized and the tall was just the length I need. The stretch in the corduroy hugs the body nicely.
Lansing, Illinois
The multi colored are a beautiful print, and the brown are also a nice color. But neither of these pairs of pants had zippers that would stay up! I've shopped at Chadwick's for years, but this is something new. Sadly, they're going back
worcester ma
Run large but Nice
Love cords and ordered raspberry multi. I ordered size 10 and if I had read the reviews before ordering I would have ordered size 8. Length is great and all is good except they do run big and need to tailor them to fit better.
Ringgold Georgia
Very nice pants.
These pants are very nice. They're so soft and fit me perfectly. I love the raspberry multi color. Very happy I bought them.
Toledo Ohio
poorly made
I'm so disappointed in these pants. I have no idea what kind of body could fit into the pants I received. The very top of the pants look fine, but the problem is in the hips. The pants suddenly flail out on the sides and then come back in abruptly. I think you would have to have large warts on specific spots on both hips to fit into the pants. I see that there are many other reviews that praise these pants, so maybe I just received a bum pair of pants that was made poorly. But they are going back to Chadwicks.
Voorheesville, NY
Great Pants!
I used to purchase my cords from Lands End until the quality became so terrible. I am glad I stumbled onto Chadwicks. I love these pants. It's hard to find boot cut, low rise in cords. They fit perfectly. I ordered 4, but there were only 2 pairs left in my size and color. I hope they will restock this item.
San Francisco, CA
Not very curvy
Most "curvy" pants fit me but these are too large in the waist. They should not be labeled "curvy". Am keeping because I like the fabric pattern (raspberry multi) and will tailor myself. I'm used to this because most pants, skirts, etc. are not curvy and I have to take in the waists of all the clothes I purchase that are not curvy.
I ordered four pairs of these cords and when they came, I ordered the other two colors. I love the way these fit my body! I am 5'8.5" so I ordered Tall. They are exactly the length I like for wearing low heeled boots in the Fall and Winter.
Chattanooga, TN
Love Them
Got a pair last winter (camel/khaki color). I love the fit and color. They are very comfortable and go with everything!!! They are my favorite winter pants!
Fort Worth, Texas
nice cords
After reading the reviews here, I ordered a size smaller than I usually do and the 4P fits fine - I am 5'4", 113 lbs.The fabric is a soft, mid weight corduroy. I will order another color or two. I wish these came in straight leg as well as bootcut.
Minneapolis, MN
I own about 12 pairs of these all the same size in all different colors, bought over a few years time - they all fit differently - some are way too big and some are tight???? not very consistant in sizing. Love the pants themselves.
runs big
Would be perfect if these pants are true to size. I ordered my usual size but it fits loose around the hips and waist. Feels like I need a belt to keep it up which I don't want to cuz of the bulkiness.
Petite length
I always loved ordering the Petite sizes from you, due to just being able to order slacks/pants and when they were received, I was just able to wear them. This is the third pair of petite pants that I ordered that came in a 30 length, instead of the usual 28 length. The pants are currently at a tailor with 2 inches being taken off. The 30 lenght is OK for somebody over 5 foot 3, but I'm only 5 foot, and if I keep on ordering a 30 length, the pants will constanly need to be altered before wearing.
Oyster Bay, NY
I usually wear a size 6, 5'4", 125lbs. I read some reviews that say these run a little large. So I bought a size 4 and they just fit. A size 6 would have been ok & a little loose but I'm going to keep the 4's. The cords have a nice soft feel & more give then the jeans.
These are low-rise pants!
These pants look nice, but I was disappointed that they were low-rise. I also feel that they run really small. I will be sending them back.

Audible: Contenders for the Crown?
If longtime Jets chant leader Fireman Ed is going to step back from leading the chant, who's going to be the 'next man up?' Should it be one specific person? How will it work? Should the Jets make it a game by game honor? Who picks up the charge and leads it from here?

Class of 1994
Cornerback >>> 6-2, 187
1961-1976 San Francisco 49ers
James Earl Johnson. . .49ers' No. 1 draft pick, 1961. . . Played on offense, at safety before moving to cornerback permanently, 1963. . . Blessed with outstanding speed, leaping ability. . .Named All-Pro four times. . .Selected to five Pro Bowls. . .Career record: 47 interceptions, 615 yards (both were 49ers records). . .Opposition passers avoided throwing in his area. . .Played in two NFC title games. . .Born March 31, 1938, in Dallas, Texas.
Jimmy Johnson, a 6-2, 187-pound two-way star from UCLA, was the first of three first-round draft choices of the San Francisco 49ers in 1961. The brother of former world decathlon champion Rafer Johnson, Jimmy played wingback on offense and as a defensive back at UCLA. He also was an outstanding track star, a 13.9-second high hurdler and a 25-foot broad jumper.
The 49ers tried Johnson as a defensive back as a rookie, moved him to the offensive unit in his second season and then back to the defensive unit to stay in his third season in 1963. Johnson, who was born March 31, 1938, in Dallas, Texas, intercepted five passes in his rookie season but also did well with 34 receptions for 627 yards and four touchdowns as an offensive receiver in 1962.
He played a year at safety in 1963 and then moved to the left cornerback spot for the remainder of his 16-season career, which was concluded after the 1976 season. He played in 213 games, more than any other 49er at the time of his retirement.
Recognized as one of the best man-to-man defenders in history, Johnson's reputation was so great that opposition quarterbacks threw only rarely into his defensive territory. Still, Johnson intercepted 47 passes and returned them 615 yards.
He had his big moments as a receiver as well, an 80-yard touchdown reception against the Chicago Bears and a 181-yard day vs. Detroit, both in 1962. Johnson was named All-Pro four straight years from 1969 through 1972. He played in three Pro Bowls and missed two others because of injuries.
The former college honor roll student won the Pro Football Writers' George Halas Award for courageous play in 1971 and twice was the winner of the coveted Len Eshmont award given by the 49ers for inspirational play.
