Swallowtail Review
The technology of the swallow has been discovered and now copied.
What has distinguished the Swallow all these years? Rocker. You've heard that rocker is the new solution. But the Swallowtail had it in 1976 (that's 33 years ago) when Dmitrije Milovich designed it to turn like a rockered surfboard in bottomless Utah fluff. Rocker is a big deal with today's snowboard and ski companies, but the Swallowtail has had nose rocker from the beginning.
The whole front of the board all the way to the front foot is rockered. This gives incredible lift, so you when you lean forward in powder and drive your turns it's almost impossible to go out the front or dive your board. Watch people ride powder leaning back with most of their weight on their back leg. What's that about? It's the worst possible riding position and I laugh at people complaining about how their back leg is sore from riding powder. The Swallowtail's nose lift gives the board the drive to glide through powder. There's no slogging or plowing. Just ease and enjoyment.
So now you add the rest of the features the Swallowtail has: taper, sidecut, a little camber, and of course the swallow itself. These combined features give the board smooth easy tracking through the snow. There's no catching edges while pointing down the hill. With the camber in the back of the board you get a stable ride without chatter and good edge pressure through any turn. The sidecut allows quick turns when you need them, like for riding the trees. The Swallowtail, along with taper, allows the tail of the board to sink in powder to carve out the kind turns you dream about. At the same time the rocker and nose shape lift you right back on the snow, accelerating easily out of each powder turn.
So now for what Winterstick did to improve the ride this year:
- First we narrowed the nose by a couple of millimeters to help you keep the board on edge in crud and hardpack. This makes riding easier at a resort or on hard snow.
- Then we fine-tuned the flex pattern, making for easier turns especially on the crud and hardpack.
- Third, we improved the durability with fully wrapped edges even through the inside edges of the swallow; we added a thick base material and sidewalls. This construction also gives the board great damping and it does not vibrate.
Add all these together and the new Swallowtail rules the mountain.
Who should ride a Swallow? Anyone headed for deep powder riding. The design teaches a new powder rider the powerful graceful carving technique that would be used in any conditions, and performs to incredibly high standards for the veteran expert. Dare to try one. It could change your life.

Creating a plot of less than 5 data points is not very informative. In this case your request returned 4 try a larger queryThe Christmas Bird Count is the longest running bird census in the world.
From 1900 until the present, the cbc has been performed and steadily expanded throughout North America and beyond.
With more than 2000 census circles in existance today, the data is much more extensive in later counts
than earlier counts. Additionally, the data collected has been expanded to reduce some of the intrinsic
variability in the technique. By dividing the number of birds counted by the number of participants
doing the counting a certain amount of varibility is reduced and a more accurate analysis is possible.
However, other biases exist in the data and a good reference is available online from the

STANFORD -- The Stanford men's basketball team completed one of the country's top-ranked recruiting classes Wednesday with the signing of 6-foot-5 shooting guard Dorian Pickens of Pinnacle High-Phoenix.
He joins point guard Robert Cartwright of Flintridge Prep, center Michael Humphrey of Sunnyslope High-Phoenix, and Reid Travis of De La Salle High-Minneapolis, who is rated as the No. 7 power forward prospect by Scout.com.
The class ranks No. 13 nationally by ESPN.com and No. 14 by Scout.com. Cardinal coach Johnny Dawkins, who faces pressure to advance to the NCAA tournament in his sixth season, didn't have any commitments during the summer recruiting season. But the program made a late run when the 6-2 Cartwright decided to attend the school in September.
"We needed a point guard in this class and Robert was who we targeted," Dawkins said in a statement. "He kicked off the class for us with his commitment, and that's reflective of him being a future point guard and leader."
Travis, a 6-8, 240-pound forward who averaged 26.1 points and 9.0 rebounds per game last season, picked Stanford over Duke and Minnesota.
"The Stanford brand, that kind of persona, is how I envision my college experience," he said in a statement. "That's what sold me."

I am a avid Harry Potter reader (I've read each book at least 30 times!), a Minecraft enthusiast, and a bookworm in general. I love Mugglenet Fanfiction, as it gives a whole new dimension to the Wizarding world we all know and love.
My favorite characters are:
1) Luna Lovegood
2)Lily Evans
3) Ginny Weasley
4) Nymphadora Tonks
5) Bellatrix Lestrange
I am a HUGE Lily/James shipper, and I love Harry/Ginny too. I also love Luna/Rolf, but theres not too many of those out there. I like Marauders Era and post-Hogwarts/Next Generation as well
Happy Reading! Love, ZLM20!

How Rain Barrel Use Can Help Save You Money Why pay for outdoor water use during dry days when, in most locations, more than enough rain falls right on your roof? Rain in barrels are a time-tested way of collecting water for reuse. Runoff water from your roof, which normally flows onto your lawn or down your driveway and out into the street, can be collected in barrels and used for watering your lawn and garden during rain free times. The collection and reuse of rainwater can help the environment, but there are also financial benefits for implementing a rain capture strategy. Here are a few ways you can save with rain barrel usage:
- Reduce dependence upon city or well water by as much as 40% or more, therefore reducing your water bill
- Possibly avoid water restrictions with a ready back-up water source in times of drought or between rain showers
- Increase the health of your soil by watering the yard and plants with rainwater, minus the many harmful chemical contaminants (minerals, chlorine, fluoride, and other chemical contaminants).

1 (10.30 a.m.)
2 MR RAMPTON: I think Mr Irving has something to say, my Lord.
3 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, Mr Irving?
4 MR IRVING: My Lord, I understand that today I am going to be
5cross-examining Professor Funke, which is after he has
6been presented to the court. There are two things I want
7to mention first. First of all, I understand from today's
8Israeli newspapers and yesterday's Washington Post that
9the Defence now have the Eichmann papers. In other words,
10they are going to bring in the Battleship Eichmann in a
11frantic attempt to rescue their position.
12 I would be very grateful if I had the chance to
13read them as early as possible rather than just being
14presented with them piecemeal.
15 MR RAMPTON: Yes, of course. We have not read them yet. If
16they contain relevant material, those relevant parts will
17be disclosed at once.
18 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Is that enough?
19 MR IRVING: My Lord, do they not now become discoverable now
20that they are in their custody?
21 MR RAMPTON: No, not unless they are relevant.
22 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I do not know quite what we are talking about
23is it a diary?
24 MR RAMPTON: I do not know. I have not seen it. It has come
25on e-mail. It is about 600 pages of memoirs. That is all
26I know. If they contain relevant material, then the
1relevant material, plus context of course, will be
3 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That is a slightly unconventional approach,
4is it not? Normally, it would be a document which would
5be discoverable if it contained any relevant material.
6You would not normally redact the non-relevant material.
7 MR RAMPTON: You are allowed to redact that is the case of
8Guardian v. GRE.
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Only for good reasons, in my recollection.
10 MR RAMPTON: No, if it is irrelevant. I do not really mind as
11it is in the public domain anyway.
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Is it?
13 MR RAMPTON: Yes. It will be from tomorrow morning. The
14Israeli government are going to release it to the public
15at large, so I do not really mind. But I do not want to
16lumber the proceedings with a great fat document if it
17does not contain anything relevant.
18 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Nor do I. It just seems to me, in terms of
19what Mr Irving should see, he probably ought to see for
20himself and judge for himself.
21 MR RAMPTON: Yes. It is not a problem. It is just that we
22have not looked at it ourselves yet. It is not even in
23readable form at the moment.
24 MR JUSTICE GRAY: It may feature in your cross-examination of
25Mr Irving, I suppose.
26 MR RAMPTON: It may well do. I will know by the end of the day
1whether it will, and he will immediately get a copy.
2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: He ought to have the copy by close of
3business today really, ought he not?
4 MR RAMPTON: I agree.
5 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Good. Thank you. So that deals with that.
6 MR IRVING: My Lord, inform me, please. Is it not automatically
7discoverable now that it is within their custody,
8possession and power?
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: You are going to get it.
10 MR IRVING: Just so it can be quite plain, the whole document
11rather than a redacted version.
12 MR RAMPTON: No. I made a mistake. I thought it had come
13through in e-mail and has been put into readable form.
14Apparently not even that has happened yet. There is
15something the matter with the electronics.
16 MR IRVING: I recommend Macintosh.
17 MR RAMPTON: I do not know what the problem is because I am
18completely ignorant on those matters, so I have to
19surrender to others.
20 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Mr Irving, the order I am making, unless I am
21told that it is electronically impossible to comply with
22it, is that you should be provided with a copy.
23 MR IRVING: In electronic form if necessary.
24 MR JUSTICE GRAY: In electronic form if necessary, of the
25Eichmann document by close of business, by which I mean,
26let us say, 5 p.m. today.
1 MR IRVING: I am indebted to your Lordship. The second point
2concerns the videos. I see that preparation has been made
3for display of videos. I have no notion of which video is
4going to be shown. It may well be that I would have
5objections to make to the videos for the reasons that
6I have already adumbrated to your Lordship, namely videos
7that have been edited in some way or prepared for
8broadcasting with sound effects and violins and subtitles,
9which may have been tendentiously translated, and the rest
10of it. I see the equipment is there. I certainly have a
11day of cross-examination of Professor Funke to do today
12and I think that I should be told in advance what the
13videos are and be given a chance to make representations.
14 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I have some sympathy with that.
15 MR RAMPTON: What I propose to do is to ask Professor Funke to
16lay the ground for these videos, because I do not think it
17is right to spring them on Mr Irving or your Lordship just
18like that, by asking him. Your Lordship will know that at
19the back of his report there is an appendix containing a
20list of names and descriptions. I am going to ask him to
21go through the important characters in that list, to
22expand on who they are and what they stand for, then to
23ask him how far he is aware that those people have had
24contact with Mr Irving, because Professor Funke has had

Dr. Dennis Perry at Meridian Primary Care in Okemos, a partner of McLaren Greater Lansing, says a cold virus is going around this week.
The symptoms are: mild sore throat and congestion. There's not much cough or fever.
There isn't a lot you can do because it's a virus. Rest, drink fluids, and take an over-the-counter cold medicine for relief.
The symptoms last about four to five days.
Dr. Perry says it's also the time of year when he starts seeing more muscle sprains and strains.
You might have a sprain if: there's swelling or bruising, you have a loss of ability to move and use the joint, or you feel a pop or tear when the injury happens. Symptoms vary due to severity of the injury.
Use the RICE therapy for the first day or two after the injury (rest, ice, compress and elevate). Heat can be applied once swelling goes down. Take over-the-counter NSAIDS like aspirin or ibuprofen.
See a doctor if those at-home treatments don't provide significant relief within 24 hours. Go to the emergency room if you can't walk or move the extremity, if you have significant pain or swelling, or if you have open cuts.

How was the game SB? Enjoyable I hope?
I watched MOTD and caught some other highlights online, we seemed to completely dominate the first half, apparently 85% of play had been in the Swansea half by half time.
I have criticised AVB's persistence with Gallas in the past as I'd rather we bring Caulker on and give Daws a starting role, but from what I saw, I was proved wrong, he looked quality, making the right decisions at the right time. Winning the ball on the half way line or in the Swans half, the intervention he made against Michu was top class IMO.
Someone suggested we play Dembele further forward, IMO that would be well worth a try, he is so comfortable on the ball and able to breeze past players with ease, I'd like to see him given a 'in the hole'.
I was delighted to Parker come on, hopefully his recovery will see less and less reliance on Hudds, who must be 4-5 choice CM? Hopefully! Not meaning to deride the guy, but he's just not one of my fave's.
On another day Defoe could have got 2 at least, Ade seemed a little quiet, lets hope the limp he was carrying isn't serious.
What do others think about giving Townsend and some of the other younger players more opportunities? he looked good yesterday and as opposed to playing Dempsey wide left, it might make more sense to let Townsend have a run?
What happened at the end? from the highlights I saw the game seemed to be being played in the right spirit. Sandro's early challenge was hard but fair and IMO great to see (from our perspective), but when Michu went down under Lloris' challenge everything seemed to get a little sour, what was Livermore doing on the pitch? and why didn't AVB/SF stop him? Not good!
I am a little worried by the number of chances we made with no end result, Defoe and Ade didn't seem to be in full swing, so maybe that explains it, but on another day against another team, we could have been made to regret those missed opportunities!
Another striker in Jan or not?
Should another CM be the priority? Moutinho maybe?
IMO we need a leader, Daws maybe the man for the job, but if he's only playing 1 in 3 games, we need another leader.
I hope you enjoy the game SB, I understand you have tickets for this fixture?
Well I think you should expect to see a good footballing display, the Sawn's have been impressive and they will let us play.

Any News on Bale, BAE, Kaboul, Parker? can we expect them back soon? ha ha ha ha ha- ever the optimist! Don't bite SB, I just joshing with ya, me old china!
But in all seriousness we have been without 3 of those players all season, who were integral to us last season!

A strike force has been formed, armed and ready to round up drunk drivers in Leon County. Five area agencies are on a mission this holiday season to stop drunk drivers in their tracks.
With a picture of her teenage boy in hand, Dotti Kinsey and several other mothers are sharing their story with hopes of saving lives.
"My son Danny was killed by a drunk driver June 9th, 1995," said Dotti.
"This is my daughter Anna Pomroy. She was killed on Tram road in 1980. That's a long time ago, but the reason I'm here: it never goes away," added Lolly Wier.
A similar emotion felt by families across Florida who have lost loved one's in alcohol related accidents. This year alone, Leon County has had 11 fatal accidents; seven of those were alcohol related.
A startling statistic Tallahassee's police chief is taking seriously.
"The message from TPD and the task force is simple- you drink and drive officers will have a ride for you straight to jail," says Chief Walk McNeil.
Together officers from five area agencies and these mothers are standing side-by-side, creating a large patrol to saturate the streets, during the holidays and throughout the year.
The strike force says it will increase DUI checkpoints and increase its staff. In fact, the Leon County Sheriff's Office says it will hire two new deputies with recent grant money to focus on drunk drivers.
Altogether, there are five agencies involved: TPD, FSU and FAMU police, Leon County Sheriff's Office, and Florida Highway Patrol.

First, I have been using PMS for a couple of years with zero problems. Recently, stuttering has started to occur. I have not made any changes to my pc. I've looked through items 1 - 6 in the faq.
I'm hopeful for advice on what I need to check/test when things stop running correctly after having been running smoothly for years, and i have made no changes to any of my system setup. Stuttering just started. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Please let me know if there is any information that I can provide to help things along.

Eric Trist
From Wikiquote
Eric Trist (September 11, 1909 – June 4, 1993) was a British psychologist, organizational theorist, and leading figure in the field of Organizational Development (OD). He was one of the founders of the Tavistock Institute for Social Research in London.
- We are moving towards another type of society than that to which we have become accustomed. This is sometimes referred to as a new service society, the society of the second industrial revolution or the post-industrial society. There is no guarantee of our safe arrival. Not only are the interdependencies greater – they are differently structured... The changes in the policy field [housing, health care, urban rehabilitation, education, etc.] demand a new mobilization of the sciences.
- Eric Trist (1969) cited in: Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld ed. (2011) INNOVATION SUMMIT April 13 & 14, 2011.
- This paper introduces a concept of organizational ecology. This refers to the organizational field created by a number of organizations, whose interrelations compose a system at the level of the field as a whole. The overall field becomes the object of inquiry, not the single organization as related to its organization-set. The emergence of organizational ecology from earlier organization theory is traced and illustrated from empirical studies. Its relevance to the task of institution-building, in a world in which the environment has become exceedingly complex and more interdependent, is argued.
- Eric Trist, "A concept of organizational ecology." Australian journal of management 2.2 (1977): 161-175. p. 161; abstract
- We know from experience that technology can be changed. We have learned in the quality-of-working-life enterprise not to accept the technological imperative.
- Eric Trist cited in: Alternatives. Vol 8 (1980). Trent University, University of Waterloo. Faculty of Environmental Studies, p. 146
Organizational choice, (1963)[edit]
Eric Trist, G.W. Higgin, H. Murray and A.B Pollock (1963) Organizational choice.
- Considering enterprises as "open socio-technical systems" helps to provide a more realistic picture of how they are both influenced by and able to act back on their environment. It points in particular to the various ways in which enterprises are enabled by their structural and functional characteristics ("system constants") to cope with the "lacks" and "gluts" in their available environment.
- p. 6
The Causal Texture of Organizational Environments (1963)[edit]
Fred Emery and Eric Trist (1963) "The Causal Texture of Organizational Environments". In: Human Relations, 18: pp. 21–32, 1965.
- Ludwig von Bertalanffy's formulation enables exchange processes between the organism, or organisation, and the elements in its environment to be dealt with in a new perspective, it does not deal at all with those processes in the environment itself which are among the determining conditions of the exchanges. To analyse these an additional concept is needed - the causal texture of the environment.
- p. 20, cited in: Academy of International Business, University of Hawaii at Manoa. College of Business Administration (1982) Proceedings of the Academy of International Business: Asia-Pacific Dimensions of International Business, December 18-20, 1982, Honolulu, Hawaii. p. 163
- A main problem in the study of organizational change is that the environmental contexts in which organizations exist are themselves changing, at an increasing rate and towards increasing complexity. This point, in itself, scarcely needs laboring. Nevertheless, characteristics of organizational environments demand consideration for their own sake if there is to be an advancement of understanding in the behavioral sciences of a great deal that is taking place under the impact of technological change, especially at the present time.
- p. 21
The evolution of socio-technical systems, (1981)[edit]
Eric Trist (1981) The evolution of socio-technical systems. Occasional paper,
- Socio-technical analysis is made at three levels - the primary work system; the whole organization; and macrosocial phenomena.
- p. 6
- The socio-technical concept arose in conjunction with the first of several field projects undertaken by the Tavistock Institute in the coal-mining industry in Britain. The time (1949) was that of the postwar reconstruction of industry in relation to which the Institute had two action research projects.(2) One project was concerned with group relations in depth at all levels (including the management/labor interface) in a single organization - an engineering company in the private sector. The other project focused on the diffusion of innovative work practices and organizational arrangements that did not require major capital expenditure but which gave promise of raising productivity. The former project represented the first comprehensive application in an industrial setting of the socio-clinical ideas concerning groups being developed at the Tavistock.
- p. 7
- Coal being then the chief source of power, much industrial reconstruction depended on there being a plentiful and cheap supply. But the newly nationalized industry was not doing well. Productivity failed to increase in step with increases in mechanization. Men were leaving the mines in large numbers for more attractive opportunities in the factories. Among those who remained, absenteeism averaged 20 percent. Labor disputes were frequent despite improved conditions of employment. Some time earlier the National Coal Board had asked the Institute to make a comparative study of a high producing, high morale mine and a low producing, low morale, but otherwise equivalent mine.
- p. 7
- Fellows were encouraged to revisit their former industries and make a report on any new perceptions they might have. One of these Fellows, Ken Bamforth, returned with news of an innovation in work practice and organization which had occurred in a new seam in the colliery where he used to work in the South Yorkshire coalfield. The seam, the Haighmoor, had become possible to mine "shortwall" because of improved roof control.
- p. 8
- The work organization of the new seam was, to us, a novel phenomenon consisting of relatively autonomous groups interchanging roles and shifts and regulating their affairs with a minimum of supervision. Cooperation between task groups was everywhere in evidence, personal commitment obvious, absenteeism low, accidents infrequent, productivity high. The contrast was large between the atmosphere and arrangements on these faces and those in the conventional areas of the pit, where the negative features characteristic of the industry were glaringly apparent. The men told us that in order to adapt with best advantage to the technical conditions in the new seam, they had evolved a form of work organization based on practices common in the unmechanized days when small groups, who took responsibility for the entire cycle, had worked autonomously.
- p. 8
- What happened in the Haighmoor seam gave to Bamforth and myself a first glimpse of the "emergence of a new paradigm of work" (Emery, 1978) in which the best match would be sought between the requirements of the social and technical systems. Some of the principles involved were as follows:
- The work system, which comprised a set of activities that made up a functioning whole, now became the basic unit rather than the single jobs into which it was decomposable.
- Correspondingly, the work group became central rather than the individual jobholder.
- Internal regulation of the system by the group was thus rendered possible rather than the external regulation of individuals by supervisors.
- A design principle based on the redundancy of functions rather than on the redundancy of parts (Emery, 1967) characterized the underlying organizational philosophy which tended to develop multiple skills in the individual and immensely increase the response repertoire of the group.
- This principle valued the discretionary rather than the prescribed part of work roles (Jaques, 1956).
- It treated the individual as complementary to the machine rather than as an extension of it (Jordan, 1963).
- It was variety-increasing for both the individual and the organization rather than variety-decreasing in the bureaucratic mode.
- p. 9
- Socio-technical studies needed to be carried out at three broad levels - from micro to macro - all of which are interrelated:
- Primary work systems. These are the systems which carry out the set of' activities involved in an identifiable and bounded subsystem of a whole organization - such as a line department or a service unit...
- Whole organization systems. At one limit these would be plants or equivalent self-standing workplaces. At the other, they would be entire corporations or public agencies. They persist by maintaining a steady state with their environment.
- Macrosocial systems. These include systems in communities and industrial sectors, and institutions operating at the overall level of a society. They constitute what I have called "domains". (Trist, 1976a; 1979a). One may regard media as socio-technical systems. McLuhan (1964) has shown that the technical character of different media has far-reaching effects on users. The same applies to architectural forms and the infrastructure of the built environment. Although these are not organizations, they are socio-technical phenomena. They are media in Heider's (1942) as well as McLuhan's sense.
- p. 11
Quotes about Eric Trist[edit]
- One major figure in the (Tavistock) institute and its chairman for many years was Eric Trist, who is the primary author of sociotechnical systems theory. Trist was joined in his theoretical efforts and in his research by others who were either employed by the institute or strongly influenced by it. Thus in many respects sociotechnical systems theory is a product of the same kind of group interaction on which the theory itself focuses. Trist remains the prime contributor to the theory, even though he left the institute after some twenty years.
- John B. Miner (2005) Organizational Behavior Two: Essential theories of process and structure. p. 170
- Trist both pioneered and embodied action research – an interplay between his deep interaction with real problems in organisations, and the forefront of academic thought in social science. through coal mines in Yorkshire to an entire manufacturing town in New York State – he was an active contributor to both theory and practice. He said that "I used to look with longing at what I called the 'white-coated peace', the tranquillity of the white-coated scientists working in the lab. But that was not for me. I didn't have a white lab coat. I was in the messy, ambiguous, problematic stuff that you have to endure if you are going to be a psychologist".

Subway Repairs Continue as R Line Bounces Back
Subway trains on the R line will resume service between Manhattan and Brooklyn by Friday, nearly two months after superstorm Sandy damaged a key tunnel.
Thomas Prendergast, the president of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's transit division, told board members Monday that service could be restored by Friday in the 92-year-old Montague Street tube, one of five tunnels that run from Lower Manhattan beneath the East River.
The tunnel was heavily damaged in the storm on Oct. 29, with floodwater running from floor to ceiling along virtually its entire length and ruining critical wires and signal equipment.
After R service is restored, only two major sections of the subway system will remain totally out of service, Mr. Prendergast said. The A line tracks that cross Jamaica Bay between Howard Beach and the Rockaway Peninsula remain inoperable, and the flooded South Ferry station at the southern tip of Manhattan must be completely rebuilt.
The MTA hopes to restore service on the A train by the spring, but Mr. Prendergast told reporters that serious questions remain for South Ferry, which would likely not reopen for at least a year. The damage to the station was so severe that even seven weeks after the storm, he said the MTA has yet to complete a full assessment of the damage.
The MTA had previously estimated that it would cost $600 million to fully rebuild South Ferry and the adjoining Whitehall Street station. For the first time Monday, however, Prendergast signaled that work at South Ferry will not necessarily replicate the exact station that sat at the site before the storm.
If the MTA decides that the cost of repairing some parts of the station "aren't worth that investment or we could use that money elsewhere, we would make that decision along those lines," Mr. Prendergast said.
The twin challenges of rebuilding versus redesigning facilities to better survive future storms can't be easily separated, he said.
The MTA is not considering eliminating the South Ferry station or moving its footprint. It was rebuilt and expanded in 2009 at a cost of more than $500 million.
But some parts of the complex could conceivably be moved elsewhere. One example: the station included a train-dispatch office for the No. 1 line. Such vulnerable equipment could conceivably be moved out of the way of future floods as the MTA decides how to rebuild, Mr. Prendergast said.
"If you get a situation where you say, 'The likelihood of this flooding occurring again is really, really high,' would you really put this asset back in the same location?" he said.

Man is arrested in 2010 North Port shooting
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 6:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 6:08 p.m.
NORTH PORT - Police have arrested a man who they say shot another man in the face during an attempted drug robbery in 2010.
The victim, Matthew Poole, told police that he was selling a $20 bag of marijuana to a man he knew as "Tag" on Dec. 30, 2010, when the man pulled a pistol and demanded he hand over all of his marijuana.
Poole, who was 19 years old at the time of the shooting, told police he "flinched backwards," according to a report, and that the man fired the gun.
Critically injured, Poole was treated at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg.
Poole later identified the shooter as Kahyl Haseley, who was 17 years old at the time of the crime.
Haseley, now 19, was arrested on Wednesday on charges of attempted murder and robbery with a firearm.

1. Office supplies shopaholic
My name is Sacha Chua and I'm an office supplies shopaholic. I find it nearly impossible to pass a bookstore without checking out the index cards and notebooks in stock.
Today I bought two small plastic cases.
A good size for scrapbook material: photos, receipts, tickets... No more digging around in my bag for things to scrapbook!
(Hmm. Thinking about it now, I could have also survived with a Ziplock(tm) packet.)
Okay. Maybe I can store art materials in it. Or cards. Yeah, it's a good size for stationery. That's it.
(You know you have it bad when you think of reasons _after_ you buy the thing...)
On my way out of the school supplies stand, I found my fingers inexplicably rifling through the notebooks on display. I picked up a Stradmore notebook composed of eight thin notebooks held together with pins. Here's the side view:
A light bulb went off in my head. This is perfect for journal-writing! I can keep a journal along with my work notes (eliminating the need for a separate album) and then simply re-file them. If I use a mini-notebook for letters to Dominique, I can mail the whole mini-notebook to him when I'm done.
I had a hard time deciding between a small notebook that could fit in my purse and a medium-size notebook that gave me more room to write, but I eventually decided on the medium-size notebook.
Because it had "girl" written all over it.
Of course, _after_ I bought it, I reasoned that larger mini-notebooks would be more efficient to store and mail. (Right.)
家にはパソコンが5台あるが、内2台は役立っていない。 It is not useful though there are five personal computers in the house.

Just as you would expect, boot socks (whether you leave a space between the words is sort of up to you, but you'll get better results in our search if you use the phrase "bootsocks") are pretty self-explanatory. Boots are hardcore shoes, so it only makes sense that socks for boots need to be strong and sturdy with a decent thickness.
Bootsocks typically range between midcalf to knee high length—just like boots. However, boot socks can also be found in crew sock length.
What makes a bootsock so special? Comfort, durability, and thickness is what is really boils down to, and since that can vary from each individual foot and boot, we have a bootsock that showcases the wide range of socks to wear with boots.
Thickness and ComfortMore often than not thickness and comfort tend to go hand in hand, especially for those times when you want more sock between you and your hard boots to cushion your feet. One of the best ways to ensure that your socks will be thick enough to cushion your toes well is terry lining. Those little loops are like fluffy shock absorbers. Terry-lined socks can come in a variety of styles, ranging from the lining just on the bed of the sock to all the way up to the sock cuff.
Comfort is different for everyone, but luckily a wide range of bootsocks are available to choose from. When looking through the various styles, keep an eye on the product descriptions for factors such as sock height, weight, and fiber content. Utilizing our search feature can really help in narrowing just the exact type of boot sock that will work for you. Such as specifying if you are looking for midcalves or knee highs. You can also refine your search to bring up better boot sock options by adding descriptors such as "Terry" or "Sport" as a search term to narrow results. It's up to you to play around with the results from there to find what you're looking for.
Sturdiness and DurabilityThese two factors are the real variable when it comes to how well your bootsocks (or really any sock) will hold up. How, when, and where you get holes in your boot socks depends on the shoes (boots are a big culprit!), your feet, and how you walk. A good way to find sturdiness is to look at sport socks. And we've got a category for that! You'll find brands like the fantastic Dahlgren—with their built in support and an amazing ability to stand up to wear and tear—and Stance, designed by and for skateboarders but perfect for anyone who puts their socks through the paces.
Dream Stocking BootsocksBecause we like bootsocks so much, our Dream Stockings house brand has three styles exclusive to Sock Dreams. The M Bootsocks and Authentic Military Bootsocks both have terry inside for extra durability and cushiness and come in various colors and sizes, and our redesigned Warm and Cozy (formerly Thick and Bulky) Bootsocks are a luxurious treat for your feet.
Dearest Sock Dreams: Received my package of fabulous socks and tights and just had to give you all a big thank you! LOVE the watermelon stripes, and the cable knit socks are so comfortable. Thanks again for fueling my addiction to your socks!
~ Katie J.

Chargers' bottom-five free-agent signings
$24.5-million 'Mr. Lazy'
Sometimes the splash of free agency leaves a team feeling refreshed. Other times, it causes a prolonged headache.
Trying to get over a migraine, the Chargers released Jared Gaither on Wednesday a year after signing him to a four-year contract worth $24.5 million.
Where does he rank among the five worst free-agent signings in Chargers history? Grab a bottle of aspirin, and then take a look.
Jared Gaither, left tackle
Gaither was expected to protect quarterback Philip Rivers and take heat off left guard Tyronne Green but played in only four games, struggled when he did play, and stirred resentment among some teammates for not returning to the lineup sooner from back and groin injuries.
Showing what they thought of Gaither, who at 25 is near a player's prime years, the Chargers booted him off their facility last November, reports our Michael Gehlken. However you slice it, the Gaither deal was a disaster.
David Boston, wide receiver
Boston (at center, not LaDanian) would be first if money were the only measure. His seven-year, $47-million contract doubled Gaither's. But in his only season — 2003 — he led Chargers wideouts in catches (70), yards (880) and touchdowns (seven).
John Butler's signing of Boston, with his individualized off-field training and distant personality, was one of the biggest blunders involving a free agent. A year after the Chargers dumped him, he was out of the NFL for good.
Robert Meachem, wide receiver
Meachem could play his way off this list. He will be 28 next season, and a new coaching staff may untrack him.
But his contract is staggering. His $5 million 2013 base salary is guaranteed, so cutting him means a $10.625 million cap hit. Meachem, signed to a four-year, $25-million deal by A.J. Smith, was the team's first and priciest acquisition in 2012. Another year like last one – 14 catches in 32 targets – and he may pass Boston on this list. To his credit, he's a hard worker and an enthusiastic teammate.
Wade Richey, kicker
Richey may have been doomed from the start. Signed by Butler to replace fan favorite John Carney, the kicker said he "you can't replace a guy like that." Eleven games into his first season, the former 49er lost his field-goal duties after missing attempts of 25 and 27 ards in a defeat. The Chargers, unwilling to cut him, used him for kickoffs in 2002. Richey had one of the NFL's strongest legs, but after he kicked several balls out of bounds, he was released.
Darren Perry, free safety
As a Steeler, Perry started 97 consecutive games. The Chargers thought he and safety Rodney Harrison would make for a strong run and pass defense. Perry never played a snap for the Chargers. He announced his retirement, at age 30, a week into his first training camp. The Chargers paid Perry only $750,000 of the $3.5 million he signed for. The setback, though, was not having him alongside Harrison. Finishing 24th in touchdown passes allowed, the '99 Chargers went 8-8.

Scripture: Acts 14:19 NIV Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead.
20 But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.
Observation: Paul was stoned and appeared dead by those stoning him. He survived the stoning and the next day left for another city. He did not travel by ambulance, train, plane, but walked. After being thought dead, he walks to the next city! Surely God's hand was on him!
Application: Two days ago as I was closing up my school bus, I slipped on some dust on the floor and fell down the steps of the bus. I was able to limp back into the bus barn and later that evening an x-ray showed a broken bone. Getting around is quite painful and I have a fresh appreciation for Paul walking to Derbe after being stoned and left for dead.
Prayer: Lord, your touch brought healing and restoration to Paul. May your touch do the same for me. Amen

SNOWMASS VILLAGE --Snowmass ski patroller Patsy Hileman triggered the avalanche that killed her Dec. 30 in the same area where the ski patrol had performed control work three days before the accident, according to a report filed Jan. 4 by the Colorado Avalanche Information Center.
The ski patrol used explosives to trigger an avalanche in the Ship's Prow Glades Dec. 27, the report said. The report didn't say if Hileman was aware of the previous avalanche-control work. She was skiing alone on Dec. 30 and there were no witnesses to the accident.
"By examining the ski tracks, it appears the skier descended through the Ship's Prow Glade," the avalanche center's report said. "Near the bottom of the glade she skied on to the crown of the previous avalanche. The crown was directly below two small stands of trees.
"As she passed between the trees and onto the crown, the slope angle increased from 34 degrees to 40 degrees. She likely triggered a portion of the existing crown on the 40 degree slope."
The avalanche that Hileman triggered was small in size but "probably large enough to move the skier over the edge of the cliff below," said the report, filed by Ethan Greene and Brian McCall of the avalanche center.
Hileman was last seen at work at around 10:30 a.m., according to the report. Another member of the ski patrol tried to reach her unsuccessfully by radio at around 12:30 p.m. and a search was started by 12:45 p.m.
"Several two person teams of patrollers split up and searched likely locations surrounding her work station," the report said. "Two members of the ski patrol found the victim below the Ship's Prow cliffs at 1:23 p.m. by a visual search."
Hileman was found on the snow surface rather than buried. She was on top of debris from the Dec. 27 avalanche. She was pronounced dead at 1:37 p.m.
The Pitkin County Coroner's Office said Hileman died from blunt force trauma to her body.
The rescuers searching for their missing colleague triggered another small slide at the crown of the previous avalanches, the report said. That exemplified just how avalanche-prone conditions were at the time.
The full report and current avalanche conditions can be found at https://avalanche.state.co.us/index.php.
Hileman was the first avalanche victim in Colorado this winter. A celebration of her life was held Jan. 5 at Elk Camp Restaurant at Snowmass Ski Area.
Hileman, 49, of Snowmass Village, was a well-liked woman who had worked for Aspen Skiing Co. for 26 years.

About the Book
"Top notch crime fiction."<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
—Boston Globe
American readers first met Icelandic lawyer and investigator Thóra Gudmundsdóttir in Last Rituals. In My Soul to Take, internationally acclaimed author Yrsa Sigurdardóttir plunges her intrepid heroine into even graver peril, in a riveting thriller set against the harsh landscape of Smila's Sense of Snow territory. A darkly witty and continually surprising suspense tale that places Yrsa Sigurdardóttir firmly in the ranks of Sue Grafton, Tess Gerritsen, Faye Kellerman and other top mystery writers, My Soul to Take is ingenious Scandinavian noir on a par with the works of Henning Mankell and Arnaldur Indridason. Stieg Larsson (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) fans should also take note.
In the mystical Snæfellsnes region on Iceland's west coast—at a New Age health resort in a renovated farmhouse—the body of a young woman is discovered, savagely beaten, with pins inserted into her feet. Thóra Gudmundsdóttir, lawyer and single mother of two, has been retained to represent the resort's owner and prime suspect. But a fresh corpse is not the only abomination Thóra encounters here—for local legend says this place is haunted . . . and a bizarre series of inexplicable occurrences soon suggests it is so.
As Thóra digs deeply into the farm's past, she unearths a shocking history of evil and depravity—and her once-solid view of reality begins to waver. But a second murder, shockingly similar to the first, pulls Thóra back to earth by making two inescapable truths abundantly clear: the killer she seeks is very real . . . and is not finished yet.

Children's Health
Ear Infections: Antibiotics Often Not Needed
Nov. 16, 2010 -- The best treatment for many children with middle ear infections may be no treatment at all, a review of the research confirms.
The analysis found antibiotics to be "modestly" more effective than just treating symptoms with pain medication. But use of antibiotics was also commonly associated with side effects like diarrhea and rash.
Researchers say the review, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, shows the merit of a watch-and-wait approach to managing ear infections.
Pros and Cons of Antibiotics
Current treatment guidelines give doctors the choice of prescribing antibiotics right away or observing children for up to three days with only pain management to see if they get better on their own.
The new analysis found that in most cases they do.
Based on their review of more than 100 studies published over the last decade, the researchers were able to quantify the risks and benefits of treatment with antibiotics.
They estimated that for every 100 otherwise healthy children with uncomplicated middle ear infections, about 80 could be expected to improve without antibiotics within about three days.
An additional 12 children could be expected to improve during this time if all were treated with antibiotics, but three to 10 would develop a treatment-related rash and five to 10 would get diarrhea.
"It is clear that the number of kids who would benefit from treatment with antibiotics is about the same as the number who develop treatment-related side effects," researcher Tumaini Coker tells WebMD.
Parents OK With No Treatment
A pediatrician with Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA and a researcher with the nonprofit research group RAND Corporation, Coker says in her experience most parents are willing to try the watch-and-wait approach if their child's pain is adequately managed.
Brooklyn otolaryngologist Richard Rosenfeld tells WebMD he often gives parents a "safety net" antibiotic prescription to be filled only if the child gets worse or does not improve within a few days.
He says most of the prescriptions never get filled.
Rosenfeld chairs the otolaryngology department at Brooklyn's Long Island College Hospital.

Michigan State University and three county health departments are working together to find causes and patterns in food-borne illness. A new Web site has been posted to help the cause.
In the month that the new Web site, www.rusick2.msu.edu, has been up, reports of food-borne illness have increased to eight times the norm. Every year in the United States, nearly 76 million people suffer from food poisoning, but many never know the cause.
The Web site allows people to log-on, describe their symptoms, and then see numbers of other people who might have eaten the same thing, or at the same place. The information is then used by county health officials to determine patterns.
Prof. Paul Bartlet at MSU says the Web site might also help in discovering potential terrorism. He would also like use to increase because, he says, the more people who use the site, the more information officials will have to use.
Those who log-on can do in anonymously, or they can provide contact information. All information is confidential and used only by health departments.

BRENTWOOD -- City leaders will continue to explore a potential daytime curfew ordinance to keep Brentwood youth from defacing property and harassing residents when the majority of students are attending school.
"There are certain students and student groups that, while most other students are at school, only attend school one hour per day or one hour per week," said Brentwood Vice Mayor Joel Bryant. "For the rest of that time, they congregate around our city."
At Tuesday night's Brentwood City Council meeting, Councilman Erick Stonebarger agreed and noted that many of these students loiter near Burger King and Wells Fargo Bank on Second Street between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. during the week. City officials noted that these youth are causing problems for local residents and businesses by defacing property and harassing or intimidating citizens.
"I think it is a good start," Stonebarger said of a possible future ordinance. "With society these days, we become the baby sitter and parent. We need to act on that type of mischief, if the parents aren't willing to accept their responsibilities."
A daytime curfew could give the Brentwood Police Department another tool to curtail these daytime activities by teens and protect the community, according to Bryant.
"Like kids do, they get into mischief. Some of it is child's play and some of it is not. Some of it is very serious mischief," Bryant said. "Currently, we don't have the ability for our police officers to rely on an ordinance that deals with this specific demographic of people."
A subcommittee of the council will further study this issue and examine other cities that have a similar ordinance in place. The superintendents of area school districts will be invited to participate in the discussion of this ordinance.
"I want the schools involved because these are the schools' kids," Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor said.

Our homes are basically our second skin — protecting us and our families from the outdoor elements. Yet while we often spend time and money on making our homes beautiful and comfortable, we pay less attention to whether they're healthful. Truth is, much of what threatens our personal health isn't what's out there, but what's inside our homes.
Environmental experts agree that houses, filled as many are with toxins, have the potential to contaminate our bodies in the forms of illness, chronic headaches and even depression. According to the EPA, indoor air is significantly more polluted than outdoor air and is considered to be one of the top five hazards to human health. This fact is not surprising considering that the average American spends 90 percent of their time indoors.
But home detox is both simple and affordable, says certified building biology consultant Robert Steller, who helps residents detect health hazards. It often has more to do with what you should not do than what you should. And it starts at the front door.
1. Take off your shoes
Steller says the first step to home detox is as simple as taking off your outdoor shoes when you come in the house. And this isn't about muddy shoeprints.
According to the EPA, people unwittingly carry lawn and garden pesticides into their homes on their shoes. Those chemicals are especially hazardous for young children and pets because they spend a lot of time on the floor. And get this: The EPA reports that pesticides tracked in on shoes are more to blame for children's exposure to them than eating non-organic fruits and vegetables.
But it's not only pesticides that stow away on soles; lead and other contaminants frequently cross the threshold, too. The solution is simple and free. Remove shoes at the front door. A pretty basket filled with slippers might be further incentive.
2. No vinyl and that's final!
What's ubiquitous in our community, has a distinctive smell and is one of the most hazardous consumer products ever created? The answer is vinyl, otherwise known as polyvinyl chloride or PVC, and it's likely hanging from the curtain rod in your shower right now.
The Oregon Toxics Coalition warns us that the chlorine in PVC creates dioxins when produced, used or burned — in other words, from manufacture through disposal. Dioxins are considered potential carcinogens and, according to the Environmental Working Group's "Body Burden" research project, have been linked to reproductive and developmental health problems.
What's more, PVC frequently contains notorious phthalates to make it soft. According to the Children's Health Environmental Coalition, these phthalates are known to cause liver and kidney damage, endocrine disruption, reproductive system damage and, possibly, cancer, and they can easily leach out of PVC. And finally, harder PVC often contains lead and cadmium, two heavy metals that have also been linked to a host of health issues, including cancers.
Clearly, PVC needs to be evicted — and now! Choose a vinyl-free shower curtain and check your kids' toy box, their backpacks and the blinds on your windows, for starters. PVC is identifiable by the #3 in the chasing arrows, by the letters PVC or by that distinct smell.
3. Go for a greener clean
The American Lung Association asserts that the indoor air in our homes on cleaning day can be 10 times — sometimes a hundred times — more polluted than the outdoor air in the nation's most polluted cities. And much of that is thanks to the cleaning products that release VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, every time we spray, squirt or spritz our chemical cleaning products.
The EPA says the average household contains as much as 25 pounds of toxic cleaning products. But you likely won't find this information on the labels, because many ingredients aren't listed — they're protected as "trade secrets." The real secret is that these cleaners frequently rely on petroleum distillates to dissolve grease and grime. Not only is your car addicted to oil; your cleaning routine is, too!
Furthermore, says Annie Bond, author of Home Enlightenment, we re-pollute our homes each time we clean. But there is a greener, cleaner way to home detox and get a clean sparkling home.
Bond recommends choosing environmentally friendly cleaning products that rely on plant-based rather than petroleum-based ingredients and make specific claims of biodegradability. Some easy-to-find, tested-and-true green cleaners include Seventh Generation, Mrs. Meyer's, Begleys's Best (from actor and environmentalist Ed Begley Jr.) and the newer GreenWorks products from Clorox.
Easier and cheaper still is to make your own, says Bond, who offers up her favorite recipe for a make-it-yourself soft-scrub: 1/4 cup of baking soda mixed with enough eco-friendly liquid dish detergent to create a frosting texture. Apply to a sponge, then wipe away. "It works beautifully," she says, "and rinses in a snap."
4. Plant yourself
If they're good enough for NASA, which is using plants in self-contained filter systems for space stations, then leafy greens are good enough for your home! Bringing nature indoors — in the form of plants that clean the air — is a beautiful way to boost the healthiness of your home.
Plants help by absorbing toxins from the air through microscopic openings called stomatas. These pollutants are then used as building blocks by the plant itself for food. Some of the best "filtering" plants include ficus, English ivy and spider plant.
5. Get a breath of fresh air
Your house can be more energy-efficient when every crack and crevice tightly sealed, keeping heat in during cold months and cool in during warm months. But opening the windows, even just a crack, once a day, says Steller, can ensure that you're not sealing in germs and indoor pollutants.
Yet the EPA cautions that this only works if the outdoor air is fresh. In other words, if you live near a busy road, power plant or manufacturing facility, you might want to keep those windows firmly shut.
Bond adds that you can further avoid polluting indoor air by airing out dry-cleaned clothing in the garage or outdoors, using zero-VOC paints and finishes, using cedar and lavendar in closets and drawers instead of mothballs, and steering clear of plug-in air fresheners in favor of essential oil–based air fresheners. She also recommends sealing any pressboard or particle-board containing formaldehyde with her favorite product, AFM's SafeCoat Safe Seal.

Statement by Aerospace Industries Association President and CEO Marion C. Blakey on the upcoming debate and vote on the nomination of Fred P. Hochberg to a second term as head of the Export-Import Bank.
Arlington, Va. — Already, 130 days into what Politico has described as "The Sequester's Slow Burn," mandatory budget cuts are definitely impacting our nation's defense and the companies that make America strong by selling products abroad.
This week, the Pentagon began furloughing 650,000 civilian employees. Defense readiness has already been affected, with reductions in Army training, Navy ship deployments and Air Force flying time. Currently 13 air squadrons sit idle. And as the Defense Department implements the sequestration budget cuts that are on top of the $487 billion in defense reductions required by the Budget Control Act of 2011, reduced spending on equipment purchases and research and development for new systems is being felt throughout the defense industrial supply chain.
Last month, the Aerospace Industries Association surveyed small and mid-sized aerospace and defense supplier companies and found that eighty-eight percent of them have been affected by budget cuts during the past two years. Sixty-two percent of the companies told us that the budget cuts have led to reduced production levels, sixty percent saw contract postponements and cancellations, and forty-nine percent had to institute hiring freezes with forty-five percent forced to lay off employees.
Many of these companies have responded to budget cuts by doing their best to diversify their business away from defense contract work to the commercial market, where there is more stability and earnings potential. In this regard, civil aviation and space exports may serve as a vital lifeline for the 30,000 companies that make up the defense supply chain and the thousands of workers who depend on this vital industry. At this critical time, with the painful effects of the sequester being felt across the country it is imperative we keep the Export-Import Bank of the United States open for business. Ex-Im, as it's known, does what's rare in government. It plays a vital role in helping American companies compete on a level playing field in the global marketplace, having supported 3,400 companies – big, medium and small – last year. And for aerospace companies already feeling the effects of the sequester, financing from Ex-Im can mean the difference between growth or layoffs.
The U.S. Senate is expected to vote very soon on the re-nomination of Fred Hochberg for a second four-year term as President and Chairman of the Ex-Im Bank. Under Chairman Hochberg's leadership, the Bank has supported nearly one million jobs over the past four years. If the nomination is derailed by opponents of the Bank, the Bank's Board of Directors would be denied the quorum it needs to approve new loan guarantees and support American jobs.
America's commercial aerospace industry relies heavily on the Ex-Im Bank to fill gaps in private export financing at no cost to the taxpayer. In fact, the Bank makes money, contributing $1.6 billion to the Treasury over the past five years. Ex-Im Bank export credit support has helped U.S. companies compete successfully for major foreign sales of U.S. civilian aircraft and commercial satellites in recent years. And the biggest beneficiaries of these sales are small and mid-sized companies that supply major manufacturers with parts, systems and equipment. They benefit both from the initial sale to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and even more so with aftermarket sales for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO).
In the current sequestration environment, commercial export opportunities represent critical revenue diversification that many aerospace suppliers will need to survive. If they do not, the implications for America's technological edge on the battlefield would be ominous.
While Ex-Im is prohibited from financing military equipment, it provides vital financing to many commercial exports. The Bank helps level the playing field for America's aerospace manufacturers, who are competing with foreign companies backed by the low interest rates and deep coffers of other nations. These companies are a key part of our national and economic security. Fifty-nine other countries do not hesitate to aggressively use institutions similar to the Ex-Im Bank to compete in the global marketplace, and Ex-Im Bank support is the only way many U.S. aerospace manufacturers have a fair fight. If the Senate does not want to unilaterally disarm America's exporters, it should act now to ensure the Bank continues to function with a quorum for reviewing and approving projects. Mr. Hochberg and his colleagues at the Ex-Im Bank have an important job to do, and we must ensure they are allowed to do it.

Over already?
Yes, the Season 4 finale of "Downton Abbey" came all too quickly Sunday night, which means we'll have to wait until next January to meet up again with the Crawleys and their devoted staff.
At least this time the producers left us on a much more upbeat note. Instead of a horrific auto accident that had us lunging for the tissues, we were blessed with the touching image of Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes walking hand-in-hand toward the sea. Will there finally be some sparks of romance for these two?
The jam-packed episode, which flashed forward eight months, filled us in on what's going on with poor Lady Edith and an adoption plan for her baby, took us to splendorous Buckingham Palace for Cousin Rose MacClare's big debut, and gave us a strange bit of sex-scandal suspense involving a certain letter and the Prince of Wales. (Bates saves the day!).
But wait, there was more. We also had a visit from the Americans -- Martha (Shirley MacLaine) and her jaded son Harold (Paul Giamatti), who found himself falling for Rose's friend Madeline. Tom took Sarah on a nighttime tour of the Abbey (and got some flak for it), and Harold's kindly valet, Ethan, took a shine to Daisy, who turned down his invitation to come across the pond to the states. (Reconsider, Daisy!).
But by the time the episode was over, we STILL didn't know who had won the battle for Lady Mary's heart -- Anthony or Charles. Our suggestion: Cage match.
So what did you think of the Season 4 finale? Was it everything you could hope for? Or did you want to see more key plot lines tied up? Share your thoughts and help us to grade the finale by voting in our poll.

Kenyan security forces have pursued and killed more than 100 militants and destroyed their camp in Somalia after the ambush of a Nairobi-bound bus that killed 28 people, Deputy President William Ruto said Sunday.
Somalia's Islamist al Shabaab militants have claimed responsibility for the attack Saturday, when gunmen ordered passengers on the bus to recite Koran verses and shot dead non-Muslims--19 men and nine women--who could not.
The group said the killing outside Mandera, a town in the far northeast near the Somali and Ethiopian borders, was in retaliation for raids on mosques in the southern port city of Mombasa.
