THE ORDINARY of NEWGATE his ACCOUNT, Of the Behaviour, Confession, and dying Words of the Malefactors who were Executed at Tyburn, on Monday the 20th of Novem. 1727.
AT the King's Commission of Oyer and Terminer, and Jail Delivery of Newgate, held (before the Right Honourable Sir JOHN EYLES, Bart . Lord Mayor of the City of London. The Right Hon. Sir Robert Raymond, Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench ; the Hon. Mr. Baron Hale; the Hon. Mr. Baron Thompson, Recorder of the City of London, and John Raby, Esq ; Serjeant at Law ; and others his Majesty's Justices of Jail Delivery, and Oyer and Terminer aforesaid: Together with several of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the City of London, and County of Middlesex, at Justice-Hall, in the Old-Baily, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the 17th, 18th, and 19th of October, 1727, in the first Year of his Majesty's Reign.
Four Men, viz. Richard Lynn, John Turner, John Johnson, and Samuel Johnson, alias Cabbage; and two Women, viz. Sarah Griffiths, and Elizabeth Murrel, were by the Jury found guilty of Capital Crimes, and received Sentence of Death.
While under Sentence of Death, having instructed them in the necessary Points of Christian Religion, Faith in Christ, and Repentance towards God, the chief Conditions of the Gospel Covenant; I press'd upon them the Necessity of Holiness in Heart and Life, from these Words, St. Matt. 16. 25. Then said Jesus unto his Disciples, If any Man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his Cross and follow me. I shew'd 'em that Faith without Works is dead being alone; that Christ came not to save Sinners in, but from their Sins; that as Christ died to purchase Heaven for us, by the Merits of his Death: so he pass'd a holy exemplary Life in the World, to shew us the Way how we may attain to the End of our Faith, even the eternal Salvation of our Souls. I explain'd to them from the Galatians, 5. 13. &c. and downward, the evil and terrible Nature and Consequences of our Sins there set down, and call'd by the blessed Apostle the Works of the Flesh, as destructive of that heavenly Seed and spiritual Life, which ought to reside in every Man, who professes himself to be the Disciple and Follower of the Holy Jesus: Particularly I enlarg'd upon the Sin of Covetousness, which had brought all their Misery and Misfortune upon them. I inform'd Johnson, that his coining and dispersing false Money, was not only destructive of all Commerce, but as encroaching upon the sacred Prerogative of the King's Majesty, therefore his Crime was so much the greater and liable to severe Punishment. I instructed them in the Nature of the Christian Sacrament, that they being Pledges of the Divine Love and Seals of the New Covenant, the worthy and faithful Receivers are made Partakers of the invisible Grace signified thereby, pardon of their Sins and eternal Life. As from several other Texts, so particularly from Rev. 14. 13. Blessed are the Dead which die in the Lord; yea, saith the Spirit, from henceforth, that they may rest from their Labours and their Works do follow them. I insisted upon Death to prepare 'em for their great Change.
While these and such like Exhortations were given, they all appear'd very devout and serious. Mr. Turner, till a few Days before he died was afflicted with a violent Sickness, being the most Intelligent, was careful in reading and praying for himself and his Fellow-Criminals in the Hold. Johnson seem'd very penitent, sometimes shedding Tears in the Chappel. Sarah Griffiths behav'd with Gravity and Attention, but by Reason of extreme Poverty (having dispos'd of all her Cloaths) and Sickness, she seldom came into the Chappel, and when I visited her in the Hold, she always profest great Penitence. Richard Lynn did not come to Chappel above two or three Days; and when I visited him he look'd like one craz'd, or of a very weak Understanding.
Upon Monday the 13th of November, the Report of the abovemention'd six Malefactors under Sentence of Death, was made to his Majesty in Council, and Elizabeth Murrel of Shoreditch, who was convicted for privately stealing a Silver Watch, value 4 l. and a Handkerchief, value 6 d. on the 4th of October last, the Property of Edward Price, receiv'd his Majesty's most gracious Reprieve, the remaining Five, viz. Richard Lynn, John Turner, John Johnson, Samuel Johnson, alias Cabbage, and Sarah Griffiths were ordered for Execution.
To those who are desirous to know the last Confessions and Behaviour, the following Account is a brief Narative.
JOHN TURNER, was indicted for assaulting Thomas Air, Esq ; on the Highway on the first of July last, taking from him a Purse, value 1 d. and 3 Guineas and a half in Money.
John Turner, about 26 Years of Age, descended of honest Parents, who had been People of good Repute in Cornwall: His Parents gave him good Education, but his Father dying when he was young, instead of continuing at Schools, as he said was intended, he was put Apprentice to a Peruke Maker in the City of Exeter; having serv'd most of his Time, after many Disobligations to his Master, at last he robb'd him of a considerable Sum of Money and ran away, but his Master being a near Relation did not prosecute him: He came to London and follow'd his Business, behaving himself honestly and soberly in the Places where he serv'd, so that the Neighbourhood conceiv'd a good Opinion of him; but his Coveteousness and Ambition to appear more fine than his Circumstances wou'd allow, hasten'd his Ruin; for in order to attain his Aim, he went to rob on the Highway, which Course, as he said, he follow'd only six Weeks before he was apprehended, having gone out only four Times, and made but a very small Purchase in all his Adventures. He said, it never enter'd into his Mind to murder or kill any Body, but what Money he got he offer'd it back to the injur'd Party, if they wou'd own they had more need of it than he; thus did he treat whom he robb'd with Civility. He appear'd to be a young Man of a civil complaisant Temper, whence it was, that his Acquaintance commonly call'd him, Civil John; others say, that he got this Appellation from the Gentlemen whom he robb'd, because of the civil Usage he gave them, for he told them that his Name was John: He complain'd that the World gave him a much worse Character than he deserv'd, and altho' he own'd himself to have been a great Sinner, yet he deny'd that ever he was notoriously wicked in those Vices, to which Men of his Profession are addicted. He could not be induc'd to make particular Confessions, only he acknowledg'd the justness of his Sentence according to Law, and said that he was willing to die, chearfully submitting to the Will of God, as a just Punishment for his Sins; he was always very devout in Chappel and appear'd to be a true Penitent, complying fervently with the Prayers, and receiving Instructions with great Earnestness. The Night before the dead Warrant came down, he had a violent fit of Illness, yet notwithstanding, he attended publick Devotion two or three Times, till he cou'd not walk any more, and in the Hold he continu'd very devout and penitent, expressing a great Desire after the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, and seem'd very sorrowful that he had formerly neglected it. He died in Peace with all Mankind, expressing a strong Hope and Confidence of obtaining the Pardon of his Sins and eternal Life, through the Merits of Jesus Christ our only Saviour.
JOHN JOHNSON, was indicted for High-Treason, in counterfeiting the current Coin of this Kingdom; in particular thirteen half Crowns, eighteen Shillings and five Six-pences, which he made of Pewter, Lead, and other mix'd Metals, which he endeavour'd to put off for good and lawful Money of Great Britain.
JOHN JOHNSON, (as he said) about 50 Years of Age, was born of honest Parents, in Nottinghamshire, who being mean People, gave him little Education at School, so that he could not read much. When of Age, he was put Apprentice to a Taylor , and coming to London he married, and lived many Years in good Reputation. Not keeping his Health in Town, he went with his Family to Lincolnshire, where his Wages being but small, he found himself straiten'd to maintain a growing Family. After racking his Wit and Invention, a certain Acquaintance of his in the Country communicated to him the Art of coining Money, as the easiest way to supply his Necessities. Having provided himself in Moulds, Crucible, and other Utensils, proper for his Purpose; he said, that he far excell'd his Teacher and Adviser in the Art and Dexterity of making Money. He said, that being thus provided in Instruments, he coin'd his Money so dextrously, that by the sight no Man could discover the Difference betwixt the King's Coin and his. Having made sufficient Quantities he endeavour'd with an Accomplice whom he entrusted with the Secret, to put off his counterfeited Coin, but with indifferent Success; for (as he said) he never put off but two Six-pences, which he spent in Geneva; for immediately after that he was taken up upon his paying two bad Half-Crowns for a pair of Shoes; upon which, he discover'd his two Accomplices and confess'd all. He lamented much for the Ruin he had brought upon his Wife and Family, two of his Children having died while he was in Prison, the third Child with his Wife being cast upon the Parish, although it was his sinful Anxiety for them made him fall upon such a desperately wicked Course. In the former part of his Life he had liv'd innocently and virtuously, for what was visible to the World, both in a single and married State, he and his Wife having frequently taken the Sacrament in Company. I endeavour'd to convince him of the greatness of his Sin, which as it proceeded from a distrust of the all sufficient Providence of God, so the Sin was so much greater in him, who knew better things, as also
tending to the Ruin of all Commerce, being an Imposition upon all Mankind, the heinousness of that Sin particularly consisting in its being an encroachment upon the King's Prerogative, who is set over us, for the Punishment of evil Doers, and Encouragement of those that do well. The Truth of all which he own'd, together with the Justice of his Sentence. He was kept in Prison a considerable Time before his Trial, and still behav'd himself like a Christian, preparing for Death with great Application. He appear'd to have been a true Penitent for all his Sins, particularly the heinous one for which he died, declaring himself in Peace with all Mankind, and expressing a firm Confidence of having his Sins pardoned, and attaining to everlasting Life, by the Mercy of God, through the Merits of Jesus Christ our Lord.
SAMUEL JOHNSON, alias Cabbage, was Indicted for feloniously returning from Transportation, he being convicted of Felony, and ordered for Transportation, returned before the Expiration of 7 Years.
Samuel Johnson, alias Cabbage, 30 Years of Age, descended of honest PARENTS, who gave him good Education suitable to his Station, which he made very bad Improvement of, proving a disobedient and perverse Child: Upon which Account, and neglecting God, and his ways, he was left so far to himself, that he associated with wicked Company, who advis'd him to pilfering and stealing, for which he was Transported; but returning before the End of seven Years, he was taken up, and imprison'd for making an Attempt to break open a House; but being discover'd in Newgate Prison that he had return'd within the time limited by Act of Parliament, he was tried and convicted for the same. He said, that the Reason he return'd from Transportation, was, that he had some Hurt or Bruise about his Body, of which he could not be cur'd, till he return'd to England, and that upon that Account no Body would buy him, and he must have starv'd, if he had staid abroad. He had not such signs of Repentance, as Turner and Johnson, but was always very grave and decent in his Carriage. He complain'd much upon some Person, who, in the Week before the Dead Warrant came out against him, put it in some of the publick Papers, that a free Pardon was order'd for him. This he call'd a malicious Story. I desir'd him to be compos'd, and to settle his Thoughts upon God, and another World; He pray'd God to forgive them for puting the Thoughts of Death too much out of his Mind. He acknowledg'd in general, that he had been a young Man abandon'd to every thing that was good, and that having neglected his Duty to God, he had justly suffer'd him to fall into those Crimes, which brought upon him all his Calamities. He did not seem any way tender hearted for his Sins, although he was grave and attentive to Prayers and Exhortations, but with too much apparent Indifferency. He had been to Sea for some Time, but leaving that Business, he took himself to the driving of Hackney-Coaches , and at other times idling away his Time about the Town, and when he got a little Money by Thieving, he squander'd it away in a riotous Manner. At first he said he had no design of breaking open the House, for which he was taken up, but when past all hopes of Life, he could not deny it. He declar'd, that he was Penitent for all his Sins, that he forgave all Men the Injuries done him, as he expected forgiveness at the hand of God, and that he believ'd in Christ, as his only Saviour, through whose Merits he expected eternal Life and Salvation.
RICHARD LYNN, of St. Sepulchre's London, was indicted for Felony and Burglary, in breaking open the House of John Boyce, on the 24th of July last, in the Night Time, and taking thence a Suit of Cloaths, a Hat, a Pair of Sheets, and four Napkins.
Richard Lynn, about 24 Years of Age, descended of honest but poor Parents, had a tolerable good Education, altho' brought up by the Charity of other People, in reading, writing, and instructed in the necessary Principles of Christianity. When of Age, he was put out Apprentice to an Ivory Turner , and prov'd a very unruly Servant, always stealing either from his Master and Mistress, or his Fellow Apprentices. When he was out of his Time, tho' he could earn two Shillings, or half a Crown a Day, yet he was so bewitch'd with the worst of Company, that he would not apply himself to his Business, altho' his Conscience often check'd him, and he frequently made Resolutions of Amendments; but when he came among his wicked Companions, he had neither Power nor Grace to resist their Solicitations. He attended the publick Prayers and Exhortations only two or three Days after Sentence, but lay in a Corner of the Condemn'd-Hold in a miserable Manner, and by no Means could be persuaded to rise and go up to Chappel, tho' no ways restrain'd therefrom, by Sickness, or other Impediments, for he walk'd about the Condemn'd Hold, and when he pleas'd, went to the Door to speak with his Friends, whensoever they call'd him. He was the most obstinate and obdurate Fellow I have ever met with in his Condition; and continually loitering, sleeping, and snoring on the Floor, in a most shameful Manner, where he greedily devour'd such Provision as was brought him. When Mr. Turner and the rest endeavour'd to awake him to Prayers, he curs'd them, and once swore he would stab them with a Knife. By his Behaviour he appear'd to have been craz'd and foolish. He acknowledg'd the Fact for which he died, only said that he did not take all the Things which were sworn against him; and also that he did not
break open the Door of the House; he acknowledg'd to have been very wicked in keeping bad Company which prov'd his Ruin. I exhorted him to Repentance, by representing the terrible Wrath and Vengeance which was due to obstinate and incorrigible Sinners, and frequently us'd all possible Motives to persuade him to attend the publick Worship of God, but nothing could prevail, yet he declar'd himself penitent for his Sins, that he died in Peace with all Mankind, and that he believed in Christ through whose Merits he hop'd to be sav'd. Two or three Days before he died, he behaved himself with a more even Temper and Calmness in the Hold than he had done before.
SARAH GRIFFITHS, of St. Ann's Westminster, was indicted for Felony and Burglary, in breaking open a Box in the House of Daniel Turner, and taking thence a Silver Spoon, value 10 s. five Gold Rings, and 49 l. in Money on the 13th of September last, the Property of Daniel Turner aforesaid.
Sarah Griffiths, was as she said, 30 Years of Age, born at Bewly in Worcestershire, of mean Parents, her Father left her young, and her Mother took care of educating her at School, so that she understood the first Principles of Christianity indifferently well; when she was 14 or 15 Year old she went to Service, and was a faithful and laborious Servant , and had some Sense of Religion upon her Spirits, having several Times receiv'd the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper in the Country, (before she came to London) about 7 or 8 Years ago, after she had committed the Robbery aforesaid, she fled to Worcestershire with Mr. Turner's Money, which she squander'd away most extravagantly upon Cloaths and luxurious living; she declar'd that she had always liv'd soberly and religiously, free from Whoring, Drinking, and Swearing, Vices generally incident to Women who are guilty of thieving, this being the first Crime she ever committed; she said it was a violent Temptation of the D - l, without thinking of the great Sin and Danger, which prompted her to commit such a vile Action; but the first who put it in her Head was a Woman who lodg'd in the House, who persuaded her with much Reluctancy to rob her Master, no doubt but in Hopes to get some of the Booty, in which she was disappointed, for Griffiths spent it all in fine Cloaths, &c. which now (as they writ from the Country to her) are sequester'd by the Lord of the Mannor, at least in his Hands, excepting one or two Guineas, and four of the Rings which her Master hath recover'd, the fifth Ring she having given it away to a Friend of hers a Shoe-maker. The Judgement of God was visibly seen upon her, for altho' she had stolen above 50 l. by the time she was taken, which was about four or five Weeks after, it was almost all wasted and spent in a luxurious Manner. While under Sentence she dispos'd of all her Cloaths for Necessaries of Life; and when she was recover'd from her Sickness, she was forced to be naked in the Hold with an old clouted Matt about her, which kept her from publick Worship, till within two or three Days of her Execution, when a Woman brought her a few of her own old Cloaths; she commended her Master and Mistress as good and kind People to her, in being so careful of her in her Sickness, a very short Time before she robb'd them. She acknowledg'd her great Ingratitude and Baseness in committing that Fact, and some Days before she died, express'd a great Desire to see them, to beg Pardon for the Injury and Injustice she had done them; she declar'd herself sorry and penitent for her Sins, that she heartily forgave the Injuries done her, as she expected Forgiveness from God, and that she believed in Jesus Christ our Lord, thro' whose Merits she expected eternal Life and Salvation.
N. B. The Silver Spoon in the Indictment, she said, she did not take, and as for the Money, she did not think there was so much of it, but added withal, that she never counted it.
At the Place of Execution,
THEY all behav'd with great seriousness and apparent Devotion, and had nothing to add to their former Confessions. When publick Prayers were ended, John Turner desir'd me to pray for him, he not having been able to stand to hear by reason of a violent Sickness upon him. I recommended him and the rest, to God by fervent Prayer, and concluded. They died, praying to God and crying to Jesus Christ to receive their Spirits. Johnson, the false Coiner, died in his Shroud, having been drawn from Newgate in a Sledge to the Place of Execution.
This is all the Account given by me,
JAMES GUTHRIE, Minister at Newgate.

The Singer building, the world's first skyscraper, dominated the New York skyline for many years. Singer President Lightner declared, "in my day, every young man knew where the Singer building was, and if he didn't, he made it his business to find out."
Singer's presence was equally prominent in any city, anywhere in the world, within a decade of the machine's invention. The famous red S, emblazoned with the company name in the indigenous language - "Singer Sivaci Stroje" in Croatia, "Compania Fabril Singer" in Spain, "Original Singer Nahmaschinen" in Germany, "Macchine Singer per Cucire" in Italy - graced the sides of buildings, Singer vehicles and store awnings on every main street and on the grandest avenues, all over the world.
The Singer logo had to be modified in Russia because the letter S does not exist in the Cyrillic alphabet.
Singer capitalized on its ubiquitous presence in its playful international advertising, which often took local landmarks or historical and literary figures, and turned them into Singer icons.
The Singer Company rapidly became an integral part of every country, dramatically affecting, and being affected by, the local culture, economy and social fabric. The story of Singer's international reach and impact is a fascinating back door to history, and is at the heart of my forthcoming book, The Great Civilizer: The Singer Sewing Machine and the Modern World.

I've had photomatix for over a year and I must have used it about four times. I can't seem to get HDR images to my liking, either through lack of patience or skill. Now I know there's a lot of people who don't like them, but with the right images and technique you can create some stunning pictures. Here's three of the same shot |I took yesterday, would anyone care to have a go at editing them in photoshop or photomatix and see what you can come up with?

Were these single exposure conversions Kathy because multiple exposure conversions are hard to do with moving targets. Looking good BTW.
The rules for photography are never black and white.
No, 3 images each, but this was just as it was starting to pull away again after waiting for the lights.

A nursery has been given a rating of 'inadequate' by inspectors from a government watchdog.
Nunu Day Nursery in Long Easton, which was previously graded as 'outstanding' in April 2013, had its latest inspection by the Office for Standards in Education (OFSTED) in May with the findings published last week.
In a report the inspector raised concerns about the number of staff being too few for the number of children.
It stated: "The management of the nursery do not always ensure that there are sufficient staff for the number of children being cared for, to effectively meet their needs and the legal requirements.
"The key-person system does not appropriately meet children's needs with regard to nappy changing."
It also stated that the quality of teaching was 'inadequate' with not all staff effectively interacting with children to promote learning and development.
The inspection found that the provider does not always meet the adult-to-child ratio requirements of an adult for every eight children.
Responding, a spokesman for the nursery said there was an action plan and there had been changes to 'processes and staffing.
A statement said: "We are very disappointed with the grade and whilst we feel there were a number of contributory factors on the day of the inspection we always aim to provide excellent childcare every day in every nursery and we respect the decision of the inspector.
"There were some positive comments. However we take the overall report very seriously and have already put in place actions to address the points made within the report.
"We pride ourselves on the quality of the child care at our nurseries and in order to ensure that we meet the standards expected by parents and children we have made a number of changes both to processes and staffing at Long Eaton.
"This is a part of our Nursery Action Plan that follows receipt of an inspection report. We have been working with the new manager and have addressed all of the issues raised and feel confident that the outcome of our next inspection will show significant improvement."
Positives pinpointed by the inspectors were that staff demonstrate a suitable understanding of child protection procedures and how torecord and report any concerns about a child in their care.
And that nursery staff share and gather appropriate information with parents and carers and external professionals and agencies, to enable them to work with children in a consistent way.

It's all about what you do
You think you're the mack
I'll tell you a fact
No-one gives a fuck about you
What it is
What is was
And what you always will be
You think you're my friend
You ain't my friend
I hear you talking about respect and clout
You never get a bit
A front or a back
We're gonna smack

But gas is an expense. We haven't
owned the CRV for a year, yet already he's racked up 25,000 miles,
and roughly 7,000 can be attributed to surfing escapades. Kevin
goes as far north as Indialantic and as far south as Palm Beach,
a 90-mile span of coastline. But he doesn't set out until he logs
on the Internet to check the wave outlook and buoy readings at his
favorite surf spots. If it looks promising, he's out before daybreak
and back usually before noon unless it's an "epic day."
I don't exactly understand what compels him to immerse
himself for hours at a time in an aggressive sea, slapped around
by saltwater that invades every orifice of his body -- stinging
his eyes, ears and nose. Why does he put up with the glaring sun,
made ever more intense by the water's reflection? What makes it
worthwhile to sit among the sharks, his live-bait legs dangling
off the board like an open invitation for lunch?
I don't know, but I don't try to stop him.
That zeal for surfing is tangible among those who
love the challenge of skillfully maneuvering within the dynamic
force of nature. It's captured in the documentary "Step Into
Liquid," in which journalist Steve Hawk concedes that surfing
cannot be called a productive pursuit. But, he says, "I can
paddle out in a much different, better mood than I do when I get
into the water. And if that somehow translates into my life, and
I end up being a happier, nicer person as a result, I guess you
could argue that surfing is good for society."
"And seek not the depths of your knowledge
with staff or sounding line.
For self is a sea boundless and measureless."
An ancient discipline
Some may be attracted to practicing yoga because of its fitness
benefits, and then discover that there's much more to it.
"Surfing is yoga. Meditation is yoga. Taking
a walk on the beach -- that's yoga," says Scott Feinberg, a
registered yoga instructor who teaches at Grace Yoga in Stuart,
Fla., and Barefoot Yoga in Jupiter, Fla.
I had taken yoga at the local Y in Chicago Heights
when I was 25, but then when I moved from Illinois to Florida, I'd
left it behind. I rediscovered it last December.
The hatha yoga practice involves breathing deeply
through the nose, emulating the sound of the ocean as you assume
various postures, known as asanas. Vinyasa yoga requires you to
flow from one posture to the next while maintaining the ocean-breath,
integrating balance, alignment, flexibility and strength through
the practice.
Feinberg counts several yoga disciplines besides hatha,
including raja, bhakti, karma and jnana yoga, as different ways
to "create union." Hatha yoga, the predominant form practiced
in the U.S., helps you turn your focus inward, "plumbing the
depths of your body, mind, spirit and emotion to reveal that which
lies within, which is said to be divine," he says.

Franklin girls basketball coach Guy Balistreri said it best: the Sabers needed 10 seconds. But they only had eight.
Playing with a berth in the WIAA Division 1 state tournament on the line, Franklin couldn't get a shot off against Middleton's defense in the final sequence of the game, and the Cardinals held on for a 61-59 victory at Kachel Gymnasium in Whitewater in a Super Tuesday contest.
Franklin came into the matchup as a heavy underdog, playing against a Cardinals team with 24 consecutive victories and the No. 1 ranking in the state according to the Associated Press.
But Franklin (17-8) played undaunted basketball, staging a series of runs to keep Middleton within arm's length all night. Down 2 points with 8 seconds to go off a missed free throw, Mariah Hill (team-high 17 points) took the ball in the forecourt but was unable to get a clean look before time expired.
"That rebound by (Jenna) Coenen at the end was the biggest rebound of the year for her," Balistreri said of the senior's board in the final seconds. "We knew we had to get it up ... we needed two extra seconds."
Middleton's Kasey Williams missed the front end of a bonus and initially held her own rebound before Coenen pulled it away. Franklin, which had used its final timeout after Coenen's bucket with 15.8 seconds pulled the Sabers within 2 points, had to make something happen in a hurry.
Coenen finished with 14 points, and the Sabers shot 52 percent as a team, including 10 of 19 from 3-point range.
Franklin used a pair of quick 6-0 runs at the end of the first two quarters to stay close, though Middleton's lead swelled to 9 points midway through the third, 45-36. But Franklin scored the next 11, tying the game on a Cassidy Mihalko basket with 1:44 left in the third and taking the lead on Coenen's two free throws 20 seconds later.
Hill scored 5 of those 11 points and calmly delivered 5 more points in the fourth as Franklin inched closer.
"We didn't get down on ourselves and kept fighting and fighting the past eight games, and we've been able to take it to them every time," Hill said. "It's a bigger court and everything, and we knew we could out-run them. The first half, we did, and then we started to slow down, but I think overall, we kept our tempo."
Thanks to a handful of baskets off quick outlet passes, Franklin answered Middleton's first punch, a 14-0 run in the first quarter that led to a 17-7 lead. The Sabers scored the final three baskets of the first to pull within 18-15, then matched the Cardinals basket-for-basket the rest of the half to head into the locker room down, 33-32.
"We came into this more prepared for this game than we've ever been prepared for a game in our life," Balistreri said. "we thought we could do this. We had the confidence -- not overconfidence, just confidence. Their putbacks and second shots early in the game hurt us. Their outside shooting ... I don't know what to say."
Middleton made 9 of its 22 shots from beyond the arc, and with defenders straining to keep perimeter shooters from good looks, Middleton was able to grab 17 offensive rebounds. Rachael Eklund (16 points, 11 boards) was the primary recipient.
Three others scored in double figures for Middleton -- Kerry Gardner (16 points), Kristen Gunderson (11) and Mika Passini (11).
"We knew it was going to be a tough team, and we played them pretty good," Hill said. "I'm disappointed; it's my senior year, but I think we all gave it our all and I wish them all the luck next year."
The Cardinals may have benefited from some late clock operation, as well. Off Coenen's final basket, the Cardinals' first pass was to a secondary inbounder standing out of bounds. The clock began to roll, and approximately two seconds dwindled off the clock before it should have actually started, when the second inbounder hit her target downcourt on a baseball pass.
Middleton will face Milwaukee Pius XI in the state semifinals Friday.

Reaching My Limit with Skinny Bitches
Thursday, January 27, 2011
Okay... so you know I talk about my roomates a lot and how I wish they would motivate me and what. But this has reached my limit. They ate some of my fresh bananas I bought the other day from the grocery store. Not a problem in most cases right ??? Well in this case its a big problem, especially since I use my fruits as replacements for unhealthy snacks. Now if we were all equally contributing to this factor in the house it wouldn't be a big deal. But they still eat out or are cooking things with a lot of carbs that are unhealthy for me to eat. They share with each other but not with me.. (mainly because they are closer friends) nonetheless this upset me today, because I felt that was something that they should have understood..... I wasn't always buying fruits and vegetables and salads. Now that I am if you want some ASK DAMMIT... don't just take at your leisure because you live there. Now it makes me wonder what else is being eaten of mine... thats "healthy" I left a very detailed note and I hope nobody got offended by it but if they did I am in the I don't care mode, because, this diet and exercise thing is important to me and even if they are not in the same boat then they can at least respect me I feel.
I want your opinions on this spark people family... if they do get upset how should I handle the situation and help them to see things through my eyes. Especially since they don't understand me counting the calories and me avoiding certain foods. They don't understand the backlash that can happen. I may have been a bit brash with them but still..... this is a rough journey and it means a lot to me to lose this weight and get confident again.

First they shouldn't take your things without asking you first. They know you are trying to lose weight they just don't care about your feelings. When I buy healthy foods for me in my house and my sons used to eat my things up. I told them I didn't mind but, please ask first. Since then I haven't had any problems. I think you did right by leaving them a note.

We talked about it, and they are upset because I think I think they don't support me, but we talked it out and its been diffused. I also got some fresh bananas... my roommate bought me a couple. We came up with a plan to make a meal together and I think that will be good for all of us, because they don't want to see me starve myself and I don't want to either. ;)

Tell them how much your fruits and veggies are to your calorie intake....and that if it were anything else you wouldn't be as upset over it. Good luck with the roommates...and on you reaching your goals!

Ugh, I hate roommates like that! I had one that would use my dishes then leave them laying around dirty all the time (and we had a dishwasher at that!). It was disgusting.
I wouldn't care if they got upset. It's YOUR food, and that's not right for them to take it if they haven't at least asked - esp. since they don't offer in return. You have to tell them or let them continue doing it - and you told them! I'd make sure that they'd know what's mine and to leave it be! I put my stuff in a certain place in the pantry and my parents and sister know not to mess with it.

Thanks.... some of my friends think I overreacted since they don't normally eat my stuff we kind of respect each other in that sense of things, and part of me is just in panic mode like the other commenter said... so one less banana is one less healthy thing I can look to instead of cookies or cake or whatever... they think me leaving the note is going to cause tension, but I just want them to take this as seriously as I do.

I think if you just tell them that you are on a calorie counting program and that you rely on your fruits and veggie for your daily intake. Ask them to avoid eating your food.

Your roommates may not think what they did was a big deal. Your note should clear that up for them. I think you did the right thing in writing it. If they still don't get it, you may have to explain further.
Often, people who don't have weight issues have trouble grasping the fact that dieters are one "missing" healthy snack away from panic-ville. They just need to understand. Good luck on reaching your goals.

They shouldn't get upset since they took something that wasn't their's to begin with. From now on, just in case, things that do not need to be refrigerated leave in your room. Also maybe you can label things as well so they know it's yours. Hopefully it was a mistake. Good luck!

Eamonn Walker of Cadillac Records Saves His Appetite for Steak au Poivre and Passatelli
'Dude, you know I can't do the chocolate soufflé thing, I'm on TV.'
London-born actor Eamonn Walker was drawn to his career by watching Sydney Poitier's performance in In the Heat of the Night. Known best for his role of Kareem Said on the HBO prison drama Oz, the actor recalled when Poitier "slapped this white plantation owner … and the look in the man's eye — what makes you think you have the right to do that to me only because of the color of my skin — I understood it at 9." Walker plays blues singer Howlin' Wolf in Cadillac Records (out today), but he's here in New York shooting the new NBC series Kings, a David-and-Goliath riff set to premiere in March. Walker shared his New York–and–movie–premiere diet with us this week.
Saturday, November 29
[For] breakfast I had poached eggs and salmon on crumpets in my local cafeteria in Bed-Stuy. Because I've been on this campaign trail for the movie since Saturday, I've been eating very little. And then I saved up for dinner.
I have two favorite restaurants. The Italian one I love to go to is La Vineria. I've been following [chef Max Bartoli] from place to place because he can make your taste buds rise in sort of a joyous way. He does this wonderful antipasto with prosciutto and cherry tomatoes and olive oil, and then he's got this branzino he's cooked within this salt bread cast and sort of steam-baked in the oven, so when he cuts it open, you've got this very delicate, flaky flesh that melts on your tongue. I drink whiskey mainly, but they always start me out with Prosecco, then I moved on to Glenfiddich 12. Then the main course I had was a passatelli alla crema di zucca e Pecorino, this kind of pasta that is soft and crunchy at the same time. It sits in a bed of butternut-squash purée with Pecorino grated on top — kind of simple and kind of exquisite. He put out a dessert for me because he's good with chocolate. I'm like, "Dude, you know I can't do the chocolate soufflé thing, I'm on TV." Fluffy, and kind of light, but lashings and lashings of chocolate so literally I have a spoonful and then my friends who I'm with will normally finish it.
Sunday, November 30
Sunday morning it was hoops, honey-nut hoops with whole milk, and I drink cappuccinos. The Cheerios will get me through most of the day because we're running around doing publicity most of the time.
For dinner we went to the restaurant in the Gramercy Park Hotel, Wakiya. I had the dim sum pork soup dumplings. And when you bite into it, the soup drips into your mouth — I love that feeling. I have a penchant for steak and peppercorn sauce, and they had that on the menu but an Asian version of it. It's thinly sliced, very delicate meat and the peppercorn sauce. It was good. And white rice. I liked [the restaurant] fine. The very first time I went in there when they first opened, I think I had that image in my head. This meal on Sunday was good but could've been better. I think the love and the artistry of the cooking was missing. I cook sometimes at home, and I know it's the love you put in; it's in your hand. I had my normal whiskey, single malt, Lagavulin with two cubes of ice and I sip that throughout the evening.
Monday, December 1
Monday morning was the premiere of Cadillac Records and started bright and early with interviews with about 40 to 50 journalists. I turned up at the hotel and they sat me in front of my makeup person and it was like, off we go, and "Do you want breakfast?" and I went "Uh, yes." Somebody went and got me some scrambled eggs and sausages from the hotel. I didn't finish it; barely had time. I think I got two mouthfuls in.
And then I was there all day. I was there at 8:30 and left at 6:05. The premiere started at 7. There was a point when lunch turned up and there was Cobb salad, but I actually just needed to close my eyes and take a minute to myself. I didn't eat lunch that day.
And in the evening, I didn't eat. I was too nervous. Afterward a friend took me out, I was sort of in a daze, I don't know where it was, and they were sitting and eating and I had a couple of handfuls of fried calamari. Literally, we had come out of the Loews, went to the after-party, and it was close to that. So no real food Monday. It happens when I'm on the run; food gets missed. There's a certain amount of nerves. You put all that work in, and now it's going to be judged; you want people to like it. It was such an honor to work with a cast of that caliber, so I want everybody to like the whole thing and this is the first time you're letting the audience see the choices you've made. And that's brutally honest, look at that.
Tuesday, December 2
The morning after the premiere, I lay in my bed rewinding the night before. Got up to do some work in the afternoon. Picked on some hummus and pita bread.
In the evening I went to Un Deux Trois, which I discovered a few years ago when I did Julius Caesar with Denzel Washington and the restaurant welcomed the cast in and they fed and watered us. Every day I went there. And I made a friend; the maître d' is José Lozada. My favorite dish there is what I went for — because I was hungry by now — and I wasn't after anything delicate or subtle. I wanted some good ol' steak. They cook the perfect steak in peppercorn sauce. It comes with fries. This peppercorn sauce, I have tried it all over the world looking for this experience. And that night I had a single malt, Talisker, with two cubes.
Wednesday, December 3
Breakfast on Wednesday, I had my Cheerios with milk. When I'm training, I have a banana. But these last four or five days I haven't been to the gym, so not much fruit has gone in.
I didn't eat till evening. I was working on the script of Kings at home.
For dinner, I went back to La Vinera and I asked for exactly the same thing. And this time no dessert. And the Glenfiddich. So, a creature of habit I guess.

Cutler, Stew (Stewart)
Cutler, Stew (Stewart), guitar, harmonica; b. New York, NY, 17 November 1955. He is married to Maryjean, with whom he has two children, David and Susannah. He also has a brother.
Born in Manhattan and raised in the Bronx, Cutler is a self-taught guitar player. He began playing jazz in Buffalo, NY where he did most of his learning from another guitar player, James Clark, who he was lucky enough to play behind. James came up with George Benson. Also in that time period, he was playing with Bobby Previte and Eliot Sharp, but the most important member of that clique was a bass player/inventor named Peter Piccirilli who now probably rarely plays. Cutler moved back to New York in the early 80s and began playing with Wayne Horvitz as well as Harvey Brooks. He played in the group, The President, and has toured with soul and blues artists such as Percy Sledge, Wilson Pickett, James Montgomery and Eddie Floyd.

I found an article where Mickey Contractor, a Bollywood make-up artist, gives a detailed description on how to get a specific look. So here it is, enjoy!
Mickey Contractor, one of Bollywood's top makeup artists, has seen makeup in Indian cinema go from the caked matte finish and heavy eyes and lips of the 1980s to the current look of natural-looking skin and a range of colour palettes. The latest looks combine textures such as matte, gloss, shimmer and sheer for gorgeous glamour.
-The base is the most important factor in red carpet make-up. Prescriptives Traceless Skin Responsive Tint in a Level 4 is ideal for Indian skin, as it neutralizes imperfections and evens out the complexion.
-After foundation apply concealer, such as Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat, to disguise any blemishes
-Apply a translucent powder such as Chanel's Poudre Universelle Libre over the top of the skin, concentrating on any shiny areas, such as the forehead or nose, in preparation for the photographers' flash
-The eyes are the most important feature in Bollywood. Dark colours such as carbon and burgundy (M.A.C's Beauty Marked eye shadow has some added sparkle) work well with Indian skin tones. "I apply a hint of a darker shade at the end of the eye and blend into the other colour. This technique gives extra dimension to the eye and really makes it stand out" says top Bollywood make-up artist Mickey Contractor.
-Eyeliner is also crucial. Line the entire eye with kohl – inside and outside both lash lines.
- "I recommend all women curl their lashes no matter what the occasion," says Contractor. Then apply one coat of mascara, allow it to dry and apply more until you reached the desired effect (Contractor recommends three coats). L'Oréals' Double Extension Waterproof Mascara with help add volume to lashes and will stay put all night.
-Eyebrows should be pronounced, so run a light brown powder or an eye shadow over the brows (Bobbi Brown's eye shadows in smoke or mahogany work well).
-Choose a blush similar to your skin tone and use as a base over the whole cheek. "Then use a warmer blush colour over the tops and buff them together into the foundation – it gives a natural-looking lovely glow. Colours in peach and coral look great on Indian women." Try Pout's Coral Nymph/Bronze Siren cream cheek duo.
- "When there's so much focus on the eyes, I like to play down lips and go for nude, lighter colours; I recommend going for colours that match your natural lip colour".
- Make sure you think about the skin that's on display, the neck, arms and chest should glow. "M.A.C's Face and Body Foundation is perfect for this – it's water-based so works on all skin types and water-resistant so it won't streak if you sweat."source: www.women.times.co.uk

The initial redesign change of the of the new Milwaukee Art Museum and War Memorial addition has gained the Department of City Development, City Plan Commission and Common Council approval to advance with the project. The $25 million addition to the Art Museum and Lake Memorial building adjacent to the lakefront has undergone initial approval of the previous design presented by the architect Jim Shiekds of HGA architects. The architect has also announced that the new independent design of the additional space will not challenge the Calatrava Milwaukee Art Museum addition or the War Memorial building.
The new design changes of the 17,000 square foot expansion of the existing War Memorial building adjacent to the lakefront and the famous Calatrava Art Museum included a coffee shop and additional gallery space for the increasing demand of the facility. The new redesign has also canceled the previously proposed entrance for pedestrians from the lakefront side, and adds new public entrance and stairs leading to the top of the proposed addition overlooking Lake Michigan. The new design has darker building facade and recessed windows to replace the flush glass curtain wall on the white exterior.
The building was founded in 1888 and has been evolving ever since to make the current buildings and new addition, and galleries to be reinstalled. This change is both "bold and necessary" to revive the current buildings and gallery collections demand increase attracting additional visitors. The new addition should improve the overall museum environment and visitor experience fixing the existing facility and adding more artwork galleries to explore.
Exterior rendering
The existing railing along the Milwaukee lakefront sidewalk in front of the new addition and its relativity to the new building. This could provide an easier public access to the Museum and change the lakeside visitor experience with War Memorial, the Calatrava Addition, and the building proposed.
The new addition main exterior facade
The new exterior reflecting the change in the exterior elevation adding four recessed windows cantilevered over the ground floor level. the old design included a white exterior siding with flushed glazing across the entire building exterior.
Lower floor glazing exterior
The lower floor remained the same with the glass exterior glazing with Mullions cantilevered by the second floor new design with darker cladding to change the previous design with glass glazing exterior along that exterior side of the new War Memorial Addition.
Exterior Elevation of the new building addition
The Exterior Elevation of the new building addition and rooftop railing addition to the existing roof deck to be updated to comply with the new building changes. The new windows are recessed and darker to match the new darker Facade exterior siding, on top of the glass glazing exterior of the lower level almost at ground level of the lake side.
Changes from the MAM side
A larger recessed window angled side to allow maximum light into the building for the exterior opening from the Milwaukee Art Museum Calatrava addition side. Visitors could experience the cantilevered addition darker second floor with the unique window opening over the lower floor glass exterior at ground level.
Cantilevered second floor over glass ground level
The new design change reflecting the darker exterior siding and recessed windows over the first floor glass glazing curtain wall. Second floor windows are not flush on white exterior siding from the previously proposed design. This shows the bulkiness of the second floor overhanging the first floor glass curtain wall glazing at ground level closer to the lakeside sidewalk.
Ground level glass exterior cantilevered by second floor
The lakeside visitor experience of the new design addition of the War Memorial side reflecting the new recessed windows and dark exterior overhanging the ground level glass exterior. The second level white exterior with flush windows ahas been replaced by the recessed windows dark exterior siding. The new design does not challenge the old Milwaukee Art Museum or War Memorial famous designs.
The new addition from the lakeside visitor view
The new design expansion of the Milwaukee Art Museum, Calatrava addition, and the War Memorial building brings a new view and design to visitors from the lakeside without challenging the old building designs. Visitor experience from the lakeside could change dramatically and still enjoy the old famous designs of the Calatrava MAM and War Memorial.

I didn't think it could be done. Frozen chicken cooked to tender perfection in 12 minutes?
Barbara has posted these yummy recipes using her electric pressure cooker: Steel Cut Oats and Sirloin Tips in Gravy, which both take long cooking times to become tender.
Let's put my pressure cooker to the test, shall we?
Here's two frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Thunk. Thunk.
|Cuisinart CPC-600 1000-Watt 6-Quart Electric Pressure Cooker, Brushed Stainless and Matte Black
I wanted some flavor for this chicken, so I squirted our favorite BBQ sauce (1/2 Bulls Eye with 1/2 honey)....just a couple of tablespoons per breast...
Covered my electric pressure cooker, set it on high pressure, and for 12 minutes. (thawed boneless chicken will only take 5-6 minutes).
It took about 7 minutes for the pressure to build and then the 12 minute countdown began.
After 12 minutes, I did a quick release, using a pair of tongs to move the pressure valve open...
Once the pressure was down (only took a couple of minutes), I could open the lid.
Let's take a peek... Not too shabby!
Let's take them out and see if they are cooked alllllll the way through...
Happy dance!!
The side of the chicken that touched the bottom of pot looked even better than the top...all glazey, carmelized and yummy....
This chicken was moist, tender and it shredded easily. I combined it with some of the 1/2 cup or so of BBQ "broth" and served it with cheese on a homestyle tortilla for a quick and easy meal.
I think we have a winner on our hands, folks!
Dust off your pressure cookers and give this one a try!
Update: If you use a thick BBQ sauce, you may need to add 1/4 c. water to your chicken. I added honey to my BBQ sauce and didn't need to add water. I make plain cooked chicken ALL the time using this method with 1/4 c. chicken broth.

ACT are history ...the two previous votes for Rodney were protest votes against the pathetic non existant offering of Richard whats his face useless..Epsom voters dont want a tired old 'John' ..so we will give the new kid a go as hes fresh faced with a bit of mojo!
Prime Minister John Key today denied throwing the low-polling Act party a lifeline in the Epsom electorate.
"We're campaigning primarily for the party vote in Epsom," Mr Key told reporters but added "I'm not sure it's as clear cut as that actually," when asked if his National party was throwing Act a lifeline.
"In 2008 and 2005 National leaning voters gave Act MP Rodney hide their electorate vote. That may be the case in 2011 with John Banks but that will ultimately be up to them.
Mr Key's comments followed weekend media reports that former Auckland City mayor John Banks is failing in his bid to win the Epsom electorate for the beleaguered Act party.
A poll commissioned by the Herald On Sunday shows Mr Banks polling just 18.9% in the electorate, way behind National Party candidate Paul Goldsmith on 32.9%. Labour Party candidate David Parker polled just 4.3%.
Mr Banks – a former National cabinet minister – was chosen to contest Epsom following the dumping of incumbent electorate MP and Act leader Rodney Hide.
Winning Epsom is seen as a lifeline for Act which has struggled in the polls since former National Party leader Don Brash stage a hostile takeover in April. Act's polling range has improved slightly since Don Brash took over the leadership but it is still only ranging between 1.8%-2.2%.
If Mr Banks wins Epsom, that would give Act 2-3 seats (depending on how other parties stack up), but if he fails, Act needs 5% to get any seats at all.
The general election will be held on November 26, alongside a referendum on the system New Zealander's use to elect parliament.

12 Comments & Questions
Then I hope you are looking forward to a Labour lead coalition of losers as the next Government, with increased taxes, a capital gains tax, increased spending and increased borrowing - because that is the outcome if Epsom voters don't vote tactically for John Banks.
don't forget the land tax...and increased rates....oh...and double the emissions scam tax...
....and the Maori party holding balance of power.....
And the fire and brimstone too, obviously.
We much prefer spin to reality these days, especially where the economy and the lifeblood of businesses are concerned.
People like you seem to have forgotten that the middle class provide meal tickets for business owners.
Its time the rich paid a fairer share of taxes. Even Warren Buffet seems to agree on this point; in fact he is advocating this.
Your comments suggest you are a short term profiteer, at the expense of the wider society.
Consider the effects on increased wealth. An extra $100,000 saved per year is generally required to provide an extra return from wider society. The net effect is they have less to spend, including the businesses the wealthy own. This leads to their purchase of cheaper substitute products (which are not often local) and lower quality of life & society.
Time to consider your fellow men, instead of being selfish pig.
Act is big business, which is globalisation, that is hardly benefitting this economy (due to our inability to create relative economics of scale) so why go there!
Big business is purely driven by profit, and the environmental disaster off the coast of Tauranga is just another example of this. Wake up ans smell the roses!!!
Richard S - and you forget most business owners ARE middle class running SME's, employing others and building the economy.
@ Lindsay Fergusson
Do YOU think that John Banks and Don Brash should be charged as former Directors, for untrue statements in Registered Prospectuses for Huljich Wealth Management (NZ) Ltd, (dated 22 August 2008, and 18 September 2009) , under s.58 (3) of the Securities Act 1978?
How come only Peter Huljich was charged?
Or are you 'soft' on 'white collar' crime Lindsay?
Or do you think that the former leader of the National Party (Don Brash) and former National Government Minister of Police, Tourism and Local Government (John Banks) should be treated differently , arguably because of their political connections?
Has it occurred to you that a number of the good people of Epsom might arguably feel sick of being treated with contempt by self-serving businesspeople who appear to be seeking public office in order to maximise business opportunities - not serve the interests of the public majority?

Independent Public Watchdog
Candidate for Epsom
Has it occurred to you that a number of the good people of Epsom might arguably feel sick of being treated with contempt by self-serving leftists who appear to be seeking public office in order to maximise their nose in the public trough - not serve the New Zealand's best interests?
If you think there is evidence against Banks & Brash then report it to the SFO or the Police, but they already know there's no case for either to answer, and they know a lot more than you do Penny.
No Penny "not to" Bright - the People of Epsom are actually quite intelligent & know what they're doing - hence David Parker is on 4.3%
National seemed to have stopped being a "centre-right" party some time ago.

What makes the ideal sports car has been argued about now for a century. Most see it as a simple and down to business, rear-wheel drive and affordable steed which is light on its feet. Scion entered the fray with its FR-S, so today we tested it in Phoenix back-roads to see if it makes the grade.
The Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ share a nearly identical look save for a few small details in the fascias and fender ornamentation. The companies surprisingly really didn't choose to take any ovations to separate their identities at all.
The style is distinctly Japanese however and shares a lot of heritage with sports car design DNA of the 1970's and even back to the 1960's with the Toyota 2000GT. The Scion FR-S has a deep front fascia and headlamp scheme that is right in line with the rest of their model lineup. Its 17" alloy wheels wheels are also shared with the Subaru BRZ.
The cockpit fits the sports car mold near perfectly. It's simple and down to business with seats made to hold you tight like a fist. They're comfortable and wear well over long drives with their cloth fabric that mimics suede to some degree.
Plastics are hard all around, but fit and finish is good. There is no center armrest, instead a hole with a rather uncomfortable cup holder in which your arm falls. Surely the aftermarket is already at work for this gaffe.
I found the audio system a bit lacking in both its sound quality and ease of use. The touch screen has small buttons which are slow to respond, and menus which offer little detail in adjusting sound metrics. Luckily it has an aftermarket Double DIN mounting format so it can be replaced.
Headroom is surprisingly good once you slink down low to get into the car. Adjusting the seat also takes little time to get there. The rear seat is classic 2+2 sports car design, which means it's for groceries or a small pet.
Handling is sublime if not downright nailed on target. Despite the rather hum-drum tires which it shares with the Toyota Prius, grip is well matched to the chassis tune. The suspension is compliant for a good ride, but offers excellent response and cornering feel.
Steering is weighted well for curvy roads and has enough feel to give you confidence both on the back roads and on the road course. Brakes are somewhere between adequate and above average, only heating up with fade after a good deal of abuse.
Under the hood is something different for a Scion or Toyota, a 2.0 liter flat-four cylinder "boxer" engine sourced from Subaru. It does have some Toyota tweaks including a D4S fuel injection system which features both port and direct fuel injection.
The result of that fuel injection system and high 12.5:1 compression ratio is some 200 horsepower at 7000 rpm and 151 lb. ft. of torque at a pretty heady 6400 rpm. Because of its high rpm power curve and its design, getting power down is a noisy rough and hoary experience.
While it might sing on a road course track day, there little usable power for daily slogs from stop light to stop light and isn't enjoyable above about 4000 rpm. It could really use a turbocharger to smooth it out as well as give it a fatter power curve lower in the rev range.
Despite the gripes about noise and drivability, we achieved a pretty impressive 31 mpg combined in our week with the FR-S. Considering its EPA ratings are 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and only 25 mpg combined, this is commendable.
Overall the 2014 Scion FR-S is an ideal entry level sports car in terms of value, handling, comfort and driving character with the exception of its rough box of rocks motor. If it had an enjoyable powerplant, it would be without much competition in today's car scene.

15 percent of Syrian sarin chemicals destroyed
WASHINGTON - The Pentagon says 15 percent of the main Syrian chemical weapons on board the U.S. cargo vessel MV Cape Ray have been destroyed.
The crew is working first to neutralize the raw material for sarin nerve gas, which makes up 581 metric tons of the chemical material on the ship.
Mustard gas accounts for the remaining 19 metric tons of chemical material on the Cape Ray.
RELATED: Iraq, Syria, Gaza, Libya and Israel all in flames...how did this happen?
The Pentagon has said it could take up to 60 days, depending on the weather and sea conditions, to destroy all the chemical toxins loaded on the ship.
The Cape Ray left Italy in early July and moved into international waters to begin the neutralization of the chemicals.
The 15 percent of the sarin toxin comes to about 88 metric tons.

Park, H (2009). Linguistic Approaches to Reading Excavated Manuscripts. Asiatische Studien / Études Asiatiques, 63(4):857-887.
The so-called phonetic loan characters in transmitted early texts and what are generally called 'phonologically related textual variants' in excavated late Warring States to early Western Han manuscripts can both be accounted for by systematic structural variability of character forms in the early Chinese writing system. In the process of inventing a compound character for a given word, alternative choices were available from sets of graphs that denote meanings of the same semantic category and from ones that stand for words with the same syllabic value for use as components in any new character. These non-unique selections of graphic components for one and the same word are reflected in the writing system of the Zhou period respectively as systematic alternations of signific and phonophoric elements of the same functional value, viz., Synonymous Significs (SS) and Equivalent Phonophorics (EP). The fact that refined Western Zhou ritual bronze inscription texts circulated across regions together with the apparent overall agreement on the use of phonetic components between the Qin and Chu scripts in all likelihood testifies to the existence of an elaborate orthographic meta-system, as opposed to the writing system itself at any given time or any individual region, well before the Warring States period. In reading a Chu manuscript in comparison with its transmitted counterpart or examining it for the study of historical phonology, we ought to consider the probability of SS and EP originating from an early period as a part of the historical meta-system.
