To unlock this achievement you have to be up to the last mission in the story mode (Blue star is the mission marker). As you progress through the story the Agency Tower is being built. Grab a helicopter near the tower and fly up to the very highest point on the Agency Tower. In front of you will be a chimney stack and you have to reach the bottom to land in the water. This may take a couple tries, but as long as you land in the water (it's okay if you die), it will unlock.

NEW YORK Hermes, Chanel, Louis Vuitton. Many women would covet a handbag by one of these iconic fashion houses.
The still red-hot status handbag market, driven by celebrity trendsetters such as Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham, has not escaped the notice of some big auction houses. They say its a new and growing category that is attracting a global clientele of sellers and buyers.
For the last five years theres been an incredible growth and interest from the average consumer in that type of piece, said Matt Rubinger of Heritage Auctions.
Dallas-based Heritage has embraced the market since its first dedicated handbag auction in 2010. At its holiday sale a year later, a red crocodile skin Hermes Birkin bag set a world auction record when it sold for $203,150. A blue crocodile version at the same auction sold for $113,525, and a shiny red crocodile Birkin fetched $95,600. All three shattered the previous record of $82,100 for a black crocodile Birkin sold at Christies London in 2009. Christies had a London auction in November with many bags by Hermes, Chanel and Vuitton.
This past January, Heritage expanded to include weekly online sales that start at $1 and have no reserve and estimates. Generally, pieces sell from $500 to $2,500.
There is the occasional bargain: Recently, a rare Louis Vuitton top-handle bag in navy-blue Lucite brought $325 during a Heritage weekly sale, and a vintage Carlos Falchi clutch sold for as little as $69.
Its often the more modern versions, the brightest colors and rare leathers that sell for the highest prices, said Christies fashion specialist Clare Borthwick.
These bags are relatively new pieces, most designed in the last 20 years, although some date back to 1950.
So, whats all the fuss?
It comes down to quality and craftsmanship, with Hermes positioned at the top as the ultimate must-have status symbol with its tailored and sophisticated Birkin and Kelly silhouettes. (The bags are named after French actress Jane Birkin and the late Grace Kelly.) They are fine leather, limited-edition, hand-crafted pieces that take hours and hours and hours to make, said Rubinger.
Other classic and coveted bags are the Vuitton duffel-style Keepall and its smaller-sized cousin, the Speedy, and the Chanel classic flap bag, with its signature chain strap.
The waiting list for a new Hermes bag can be considerable, leading many people to discover auctions, added Carole Gordon of Bonhams. Auctions are also often home to unusual pieces, she said. Its also a place where styles no longer available in the retail market can be discovered.
While many people may think its crass to spend five or six digits on a bag, the auction houses said they hold value.
Hermes bags appreciate the moment you buy them, said Rubinger. Compare that to someone who spent $200 on a bag in the primarily market that isnt worth anything as soon as they buy it with no secondary market for it.

Ice Music
Friday 7 - Sunday 9 January 2011
River Terrace, South Wing
This unique winter experience featured live music by acclaimed Norwegian composer and instrumentalist Terje Isungset using instruments of pure ice such as ice horns, an iceophone and ice percussion brought from the mountains of Norway. Using these fragile instruments, some carved from ancient glaciers, Terje gave three concerts a day together with the Norwegian singer Lena Nymark in this intimate setting.
At other times throughout the day an ethereal sound and video installation animated the space. The Idea of North, commissioned by Opera North Projects, saw Terje Isungset join forces with Phil Slocombe from Lumen to create a distinctive experience evoking the lands far to the North. Using rare archive film and footage, Phil's intricately patterned, often mysterious imagery combined with Terje's intensely physical soundscape created purely from ice.

Four yellow school buses idled in Washington High's parking lot Saturday afternoon and waited for one more rider to board.
The last rider, walking back from the dusty football field, said he was the one who determined what was "the party bus."
La Salle's Zaire Franklin led the Explorers past Archbishop Ryan, 28-14, and the half-hour ride back to Wyndmoor, he said, was a chance to "let loose and have some fun."
They worked hard, Franklin said, and the Explorers wanted to enjoy their impressive Catholic League AAAA opener.
"At least until Monday," said Franklin, who is orally committed to Syracuse.

Surrey have announced a trio of moves with Chris Tremlett and Gareth Batty penning new deals and Zander de Bruyn leaving with immediate effect.
Tremlett has signed a one-year extension until the end of 2014, while Batty's fresh terms mean he will be at the Kia Oval until 2015 at least.
Alec Stewart commented: "The club are delighted that both Gareth and Chris have signed new contracts. Gareth is an integral part of the dressing room and his experience will continue to be an asset to the squad.
"Chris, who recorded his career best figures of 8-96 this season at Durham, will continue to add something different to our attack. We are pleased to secure his services for next season."
Yet they will not be playing alongside de Bruyn, the 38-year-old who has been with the club for three years since joining from Somerset.
"I have cherished my time with Surrey and I would like to wish the players and management all the best for the future," he said. "I am now looking forward to the next stage of my career."
Stewart added: "I would like to thank Zander for his efforts over the past three years at Surrey.
"He has been an extremely popular member of the dressing room and has made important contributions with both bat and ball in all forms of the game. The club would like to wish Zander the very best for the next stage of his career."

Traditional kunqu performs many Chinese love stories, and some performances include kinetic, musical, verbal, and visual gestures designed to titillate the audience. The kunqu is always aesthetically and virtuosically presented. To promote kunqu appreciation and to reveal its eroticism, this presentation analyzes the erotic acting, singing, and speaking in three masterpieces: "Qintiao/Flirting with Qin Music Playing"; "Sifan/Yearning for the Secular World"; and the "Huozhou/Caught Alive by a Deceased Lover."

Greenlee Review: Keith Elliott Responds to Reactions
J K Elliott writes:
I have been following the various reactions to my review in RBL of Harold Greenlee's book: they have been a pleasant accompaniment to my pre-prandial manzanilla (very dry) each evening, although I have been suspicious of those who conceal their po-faced comments behind a mask of anonymity.
I was sorry my friend Tommy Wasserman had to censor some contributions. It would have been nostalgic for me to read such rantings as I recalled the vindictive and vitriolic vituperation (if I may be permitted to use such alliterations in this context) that used to assail me from the erstwhile Dean Burgon Society many years ago when a Dr Jay Green (Senior!) used to conduct slanging matches against any fellow-Christians who disagreed with him.
I thank another old friend, Peter Head, for pointing out typos in my RBL piece. The English version should be REB (= Revised English Bible) as in the previous line. Ephraem: yes. My apologies for the slip-up re Mk 1:1. Dr Greenlee did indeed deal with that. It is as well Feb 25 approaches: I can apply more ashes, if not sackcloth.
Those who know my reviews from NovT and JTS will be aware that I tend to write positive, supportive reviews. It gave me no pleasure to have to write a negative review of Greenlee's book. He graciously contributed an article to the Kilpatrick Festschrift that I edited many years ago and I was a contributor to his own Festschrift more recently. It is a pity we have never met at, say, a meeting of SBL. But his book was disappointing: I maintain that by selecting so many innocuous v.ll. and by avoiding troublesome readings like 1 Cor 15:51, or Jesus' sayings on divorce and others I listed he gives the newcomers he is aiming his book at a false sense of security.
Yes, I bridled at the pious sentiments - quite uncalled for in what otherwise is a scholarly book. Whether that tells readers more about me than him, I know not, but I am not used to hearing such parti pris views in, say, SBL text-critical seminars, in SNTS papers nor in meetings with respected text-critics in say Muenster, or in Italy, Spain, France, or N. America. Academic books and discourse do not need fundamentalist Bible-belt platitudes - sorry!!

Dear Keith Elliot,ReplyDelete
Thank you for taking the time to respond to the comments. I can really respect you stepping up to do that.
I think I would still have two concerns though.
The easy one first, while I can agree that religious references to the Holy Spirt, etc., would be out of place in an academic work or in SBL text-critical seminars or SNTS papers, I don't think that Greenlee intended this little book to fit any of those categories. In the preface he write that he was concerned with the "average Christian" and explicitly targets a mass audience saying he hopes it will "bring illumination to many people." That, and the fact that it is soft cover, only a hundred pages long, has no footnotes, barely any end notes, and is published by Hendrickson and sold for less than $10, all lead me to conclude that this was meant to be a mass market book for religious lay people. Given that, I think the explicit religious references are very much at home (and I say this as someone who as already posted my disagreement with his theology at those points).
Second, I have already posted that I agree with the substance of your critique: I do agree that "by selecting so many innocuous v.ll. and by avoiding troublesome readings like 1 Cor 15:51, or Jesus' sayings on divorce and others I listed he gives the newcomers he is aiming his book at a false sense of security." However, in my opinion your tone was still needlessly hostile. I can appreciate that you may have received much worse from the DG society, and indeed I am often shocked by the kind of language used in old journals (I am reminded of a stinger of a line by Housman who said of someone "nature, not content with granting him the inability to think, also gave him the ability to go on at great length"!) but I think for the most part we have moved beyond that, and I think that's a good thing.
Forget even the manners side of it, how about simply a pragmatic perspective? If Greenlee's soothing platitudes are targeted at religious newcomers, is it safe to assume that your counter-argument is targeted at the same, hoping to prevent them from getting that false sense of security? If that is the case though, then I have to wonder how effectively your review will accomplish that. I don't think we have any of those newcomers here on this blog, but I do think that much of the reaction here can be used to reasonably imply that the tone of your review will likely alienate many of the people you're trying to reach.
Just my thoughts, offered in a spirit of gratitude for all that I have learned from your other works.
"but I am not used to hearing such parti pris views in, say, SBL text-critical seminars, in SNTS papers nor in meetings with respected text-critics in say Muenster, or in Italy, Spain, France, or N. America. Academic books and discourse do not need fundamentalist Bible-belt platitudes - sorry!!"ReplyDelete
That's because the academy is atheistic, as per my original point. You would never hear any sort of traditional Christian interpretation of the data at SBL (unless you speak to the Profs privately). God is absent from methodological and interpretive practices because Evangelical Modernists still believe that there is common ground upon which all can agree. In reality, there is only a submission to the naturalistic worldview.
This was what spawned my original critique of this scholastic confusion between data and the idea that one can be absent of a worldview when interpreting it. One can dislike the worldview with which another seeks to present the data, but acting like it's unscholarly is itself a non-critical (and therefore non-academic) platitude toward the naturalistic community.
You're certainly a brilliant scholar, Dr. Elliot, but this complete ignorance of the way presupps work in the evaluation of evidence among those in the academy, such as yourself, to be honest, causes those in the know to distrust your work. I'm sure you would admit that you have biases (like Ehrman will when called on it), but the problem is that you then turn around and act like you don't (while chastising others for having them). I guess what I am saying is that the academic community needs to take the log out. I realize that Ehrman's atheistic platitudes are welcome in the academy whereas Greenlee's "fundamentalist" (I take it that's a derogatory term designating anyone holding to the traditional orthodox view of your Christian forebears) is not, but to act like one has a place in critical scholarship whereas the other does not is to be extremely uncritical of one's own methodology itself.
It's almost like scholarship within the academy today excludes other worldviews, not via logical argumentation (for that would lead to a tolerance for them), but instead by way of ad hominem fallacies.

"He who has ears to hear..."ReplyDelete
Well, Bryan, if you are looking for your message to fall on anything but deaf years, you've picked a good place to air it.
Although we aren't expected to contribute to the blog itself, many of us laymen appreciate the opportunity to offer our comments to the ensuing discussions.
This was set up as a blog with open comments, not a forum, and I respect the reasons for keeping it so. There are, after all, other outlets for TC expression, but this one has earned and will, Lord willing, keep its place as an outlet for scholar and layman alike.
Just the fact that you are able to interact with Dr. Elliot in such a public manner is truly a marvel of modern technology.
And as long as anonymity is an option, it keeps down the possibility of ad hom arguments. The pompous scholar can never be quite sure whether he is addressing a rube at an internet cafe, or his colleague down the hall. It's no wonder it makes him nervous!
A small correction: Dr Elliott referenced "the erstwhile Dean Burgon Society many years ago when a Dr Jay Green (Senior!) used to conduct slanging matches against any fellow-Christians who disagreed with him."ReplyDelete
While there is no question about Green's (assuredly not a "Dr) "slanging matches", these appeared in his Christian Literature World review newspaper, and not within the Burgon Society (of which Green was not a member, nor would have been allowed as such, given Green's favoring a modernized English rendering of the KJV). If yet alive, Green today would be elderly and in such poor health so as no longer to have the time or ability to perpetuate his vitriolic criticisms.
On the other hand, the "Dean Burgon Society" (which Burgon would neither have joined on his own initiative nor be allowed to join from their standpoint) does continue to promote their "slanging" to as few as apparently care to listen.
Circles such as these are where the "fundamentalist focus" properly lies -- not amid those diligent and respected evangelical text-critics such as Greenlee. I suggest once more that the negative comments have been misplaced in this regard.
White Man,ReplyDelete
I'm not sure I understand anything you've said here. I confess, I must be ignorant of the distinction between a forum and a blog. So I may need to be enlightened as of it. I also must confess that I'm not sure if your comment is aimed at anything in particular that I've said. If presupps aren't relevant to this very issue, I'm not sure what is.
Perhaps I've missed your meaning. The statement at the end "he who has ears" was meant to be a conclusion of a couple days of discussion on this issue. It would seem that although Dr. Elliot has followed discussions on his review, that either he did not follow this one, or he is so steeped within his academic tradition that he is incapable of understanding why he feels the way he does about Greenlee's theological take on TC.
Either way, I really hope my 10 years of formal education in Biblical Studies and countless hours otherwise allows me to be a little more than a rube at an internet Cafe.

Dr. Elliot,ReplyDelete
You stated, "It gave me no pleasure to have to write a negative review of Greenlee's book."
There is a big difference, however, between a "negative" review and, to use your word, a "vituperative" review. For me, your review of Greenlee's book exemplifies the latter.
In other words, the facts could have been presented without the biting sarcasm and rhetoric, and the review could have been better received. Is there really a place in academia for such a tone? What is the purpose of such harsh language, not only toward Greenlee but toward "fundamentalist" Christians? To shame? Doesn't such rhetoric only serve to drive people further into their ideological corners rather than to change anyone's way of thinking?
I recognize and respect your many scholarly contributions, but it seems like this review could have been much more tempered.

The only problem I had with Dr. Elliot's reply is that he brings nothing new to light. We are all aware we all share different presuppositions, so it was rather unbecoming of Dr. Elliot to give the impression that his take on TC somehow transcended his presupposition to a position of objectivity. Dr. Elliot's points are well-taken if, and only if, you first accept his presuppositions about fundamental issues related to TC.ReplyDelete

Reading Ron Kampeas' story on a pre-Rosh Hashanah interview with the Jewish press (which I missed, due to other commitments) I was struck by the dilemma Israeli leaders face in these days of unrestrained, unfiltered political animosity.
According to Ron, Oren said that "Obama often doesn't get the credit he deserves in Israel."
The interview was, he reports, "Oren's most intensive effort yet to counteract speculation in some Jewish and Israeli corners that the Obama administration has been chilly, if not outright hostile, toward the Netanyahu government. It comes at the start of renewed Israeli-Palestinian talks and a new anti-Iran sanctions regime, two developments seen as bolstering Israel's need to be seen as enjoying strong relations with the White House."
That points to a growing diplomatic dilemma for Israel's leaders.
It's long been useful for governments in Jerusalem , especially those on the right, to periodically stir up animosity to administrations seen as trying to pressure the Jewish state. Netanyahu is a past master at the process, and he has no lack of hawkish pro-Israel groups here and – when there's a Democratic president to hit over the head with the Israel club – congressional Republicans eager to take up the "he's anti-Israel" chant.
The problem is: how do you control it and keep that animosity from undercutting the U.S.-Israel alliance?
Answer: with great difficulty.
In today's overheated environment, with rumors and nuggets of conventional wisdom - often untrue - spread with blinding speed by the Web and with compromise considered just about the dirtiest word in any language, that kind of raging distrust becomes almost impossible to tamp down.
And in the end, Israel has a vital national interest in maintaining good working relations with the White House – no matter who is sitting behind the historic desk.
Michael Oren isn't stupid; he knows that while political pressure against any U.S. squeeze on Israel is sometimes helpful, the anti-Obama rage in some segments of the Jewish electorate here, as well as Obama's pathetically low standing with the Israeli public, can only detract from the strong U.S.-Israel relations that remain a bulwark of Israel's security.
Israeli leaders don't have to like President Obama or his policies, but they have to work with him and the administration he leads on a range of issues. Unrestrained hatred and far-fetched accusations ("He's the most anti-Israel president ever") by some of Israel's strongest supporters don't help that happen.
Seems to me Oren's comments were a smart response to a real and growing problem.
Oren, who once spurned the group, also said he now communicates regularly with J Street's Jeremy Ben-Ami.
"We understand that the American Jewish community is politically pluralistic, but the tent of pro-Israel organizations is a very big tent, is very inclusive," he said.
Exactly. You don't have to like J Street's policies to accept that it reflects the views of a significant chunk of the American Jewish community – and that those Jews, like the organization itself, support the Jewish state.

CUPERTINO, California—Apple says it will sell an iPad with more memory than the current models available.
Apple Inc. said Tuesday that the new, full-size model comes with 128 gigabytes of memory, up from 64 gigabytes. Nothing else has changed, so it will remain a fourth-generation iPad, which went on sale in November. The memory increase does not apply to the iPad Mini, which also went on sale in November.
The new iPad will go on sale in the US on Feb. 5 for $799 for a Wi-Fi model and $929 with cellular data access as well.
Apple says it has sold more than 120 million iPads since their debut in April 2010. The latest iPads with 16, 32 and 64 gigabytes remain available, starting at $499.

Preservation Kentucky offers a variety of program, many in partnership with the Kentucky Heritage Council and nonprofits throughout the state.
Preservation Kentucky also provides technical assistance to individuals, nonprofits, local and state governments on important preservation projects and topics. Examples of this include PK's efforts to assist the Penn Store in Gravel Switch and the local effort to preserve the Pennington House in London.
Seminar for Real Estate Professionals
Cemetery Preservation
Rural Heritage Development
Annual Meeting and Awards
Kentucky Historic Preservation Legislative Summit
Kentucky's Most Endangered List
Kentucky Preservation Series
Established Programs include:
Historic Preservation 101 for Real Estate Professionals - Established in PK 2013 in partnership with the Kentucky Heritage Council, Selling Historic Real Estate: A Seminar for Real Estate Professionals was held in Lexington, Louisville, and Bardstown and featured 6 hours of continuing education credits for realtors. Topics covered included preservation tax credits, historic styles and building types, and energy saving measures for historic buildings. Special thanks to our instructor Joanne Weeter of Louisville for presenting a great course.
Preservation 101: Cemetery Preservation Workshops are held as part of our conference series with the Kentucky Heritage Council.
The Rural Heritage Development Initiative (RHDI) began in 2006 as a three-year demonstration program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, in collaboration with the Kentucky Heritage Council. The RHDI was intended to help develop and implement preservation-based economic development strategies in the eight-county Central Kentucky area of Boyle, Green, LaRue, Marion, Mercer, Nelson, Taylor and Washington. The RHDI was one of two pilot programs in the country, the other located in the Arkansas Delta. A portion of the program is currently provided through advocacy, education and technical assistance.
Preservation Leader Awards Preservation Kentucky honors our leaders throughout the state through our Preservation Leader Awards Program. For detailed criteria on our awards program, please click here. Photos of the ceremony are available here.
The KY Historic Preservation Legislative Summit is a biennial gathering that happens at the Kentucky Sate Capital, several months prior to the budget session of the Kentucky Legislature. Main Street managers, archaeologists, community preservationtists, and planners come together to discuss development and enhancement of historic preservation policyin the Commonwealth. One goal behind this summit is to have grassroots input and build consensus on PK's legislative platform. Another goal is to identify key issues impacting historic preservation practice and develop strategies to resolve them. For more information on the 2011 summit, click here.
Preservation Kentucky also assist with advocacy efforts on the federal level. Every February/March, PK organizes a group of statewide preservationists as Preservation Action's State Coordinator. Backed with statistical information, our group typically meets with seasoned Congressional staffers to discuss of the importance of historic places in our state and the role that historic tax credits and the KY Main Street program have played in our economy.
Part of the goal of the meetings with our house representatives is to encourage them to join or re-pledge their support for the Historic Preservation Caucus. Previously, Representatives Whitfield, Yarmouth, and Guthrie were members and we are very happy to report that as of 2013 Representatives Barr and Rogers have now both joined the caucus! That means that five of our six representatives are on the look-out for issues that both positively and negatively affect the preservation community in Kentucky and have pledged public support for preservation in our state.
Kentucky's Most Endangered List is an biennial listing of historic or prehistoric places endangered due to neglect, potential for demolition, and/or a lack of understanding of their cultural and historic value. The list is intended to provide property owners of endangered sites with technical preservation assistance. It is also meant to educate all Kentuckians about similar threats and provide case studies regarding how these threats might be dealt with effectively.
The Kentucky Preservation Series is a biennial educational event co-sponsored with the Kentucky Heritage Council. Preservation Kentucky has been a partner in this effort since 2000. In 1986, the Kentucky Heritage Council held the first statewide conference to focus attention on historic preservation efforts throughout Kentucky and to provide technical assistance and training to local organizations and community leaders. Since that time, the conference has taken place in various communities across Kentucky, including Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Frankfort, Bardstown, Danville, and Covington. Historic places in each of these locations have served as the meeting backdrop to highlight successes and issues in preservation as well as provide a venue for Kentuckians to learn from guest speakers and presenters from other states and countries.
In 2010, Preservation Kentucky and the Kentucky Heritage Council sponsored the first state historic preservation conference in Frankfort, and the first state conference in partnership with the International Preservation Trades Network. As the state's historic preservation nonprofit, Preservation Kentucky understands the vital importance of a meeting combining the preservation trades with folks who lobby, educate, and invest to preserve our communities' important heritage. These two groups cannot accomplish the lofty goal of preservation without each others' skills and commitment to the built environment. The breadth of these dual conferences made for a greater learning experience for all!
In 2014, PK partnered with the Kentucky Heritage Council on a rework of the state historic preservation conference to hold a quarterly series of trainings open to the public and available in all regions of the state rather than hold one conference in the Fall every two years. Conferences were held in Frankfort, Covington, Pikeville and Paducah and attended by a variety of professionals, community leaders and neighborhood residents interested in the preservation of places, properties and sites in their communities.
In 2015, PK partnered with the Kentucky Heritage Council to sponsor the Strong Towns Conference in Louisville, and participated as a panelist on Rural Preservation with the Agricultural History Society Conference in Lexington. Historic Preservation 101 Workshops were held with local nonprofit partners in Ft. Thomas and Frankfort, and a presentation on historic architecture was held in partnership with the Blue Grass Trust in Lexington.
Educational programs scheduled for 2016 include workshops for realtors, a statewide symposium with the Kentucky Heritage Council and webinars on timely preservation topics.

NYS Helping Teenagers Find Summer Jobs
New York State is allocating $25 million for The NYS Youth Summer Employment Program. The state is hoping to put 18-thousand teenagers to work this summer. The money will be used to pay wages for eligible teens. In the past teenagers have worked for ABVI, St. Mary's Hospital, etc. In order to qualify you have to be between the ages of 14 and 20-years-old and come from a low-income families. A family must either receive public assistance or have an income less than $37-thousand a year for a family of three. Governor Cuomo says this program gives young people experience and skills to prepare for future employment. "This program is so important and valuable," said Antwan Williams, Youth Employment Coordinator at Rochester Works. "It gives folks real world work experience so they know the expectations of them when they are on the job site." Last year the program helped over 11-thousand teenagers find employment. Ajee McIntosh-Rotan has participated in the program for the past three years. "This program is important to me because every summer it's an opportunity for me to do something productive and make my own money," said Ajee McIntosh-Rotan, 17. To apply you must contact the social services department in your county. For more information, you could also contact Rochester Works.

Bosnia flooding triggers landslides, unearths mines
BRCKO, Bosnia-Herzegovina -- Floodwaters triggered more than 3,000 landslides across the Balkans on Sunday, laying waste to entire towns and villages and disturbing land mines left over from the region's 1990s war, along with warning signs that marked the unexploded weapons.
The Balkans' worst flooding since record keeping began forced tens of thousands of people from their homes and threatened to inundate Serbia's main power plant, which supplies electricity to a third of the country and most of the capital, Belgrade.
Authorities organized a frenzied helicopter airlift to get terrified families to safety before the water swallowed up their homes. Many were plucked from rooftops.
Floodwaters receded Sunday in some locations, laying bare the full scale of the damage. Elsewhere, emergency management officials warned that the water would keep rising into Sunday night.
"The situation is catastrophic," said Bosnia's refugee minister, Adil Osmanovic.
Three months' worth of rain fell on the region in three days, producing the worst floods since rainfall measurements began 120 years ago. At least two dozen people have died, with more casualties expected.
The rain led to about 2,100 landslides that covered roads, homes and whole villages throughout hilly Bosnia. An additional 1,000 landslides were reported in neighboring Serbia.
The cities of Orasje and Brcko in northeastern Bosnia, where the Sava River forms the natural border with Croatia, were in danger of being overwhelmed. Officials in Brcko ordered six villages to be evacuated.

Southampton Row (Thomas and Charlotte Pitt Series #22)by Anne Perry
View All Available Formats & Editions
For many years Anne Perry's magnificent novels have transported millions of readers into the very heart of one of the richest, most vibrant societies the world has ever known: England in the golden ages of Queen Victoria. Gaslight, cobblestones, halls of power, haunts of vice–all the splendor and sordidness of a world that believed the opulence would last forever.
But now, toward the end of her long reign, Victoria's gold is tarnishing. With a general election fast approaching, a deep rift separates aristocratic Tories from the Liberal opposition. The powerful Inner Circle–a secret society of men sworn to support each other above all other loyalties–is committed to seizing one critical seat in Parliament, a first step towards the achievement of sinister secret ambitions. Passions are so enflamed that Thomas Pitt, shrewd mainstay of the London police, has been ordered to forego his long awaited vacation, not to solve a crime, but to prevent a national disaster.
The Tory candidate is Pitt's archenemy, Charles Voisey, a ruthless leader in the Inner Circle. The Liberal candidate is Aubrey Serracold, whose wife's passionate committment to the Socialist agenda may hurt his chances. Equally damaging is her dalliance with spiritualism. Indeed, she is one of the three participants in a late-night séance that becomes the swan song of stylish clairvoyant Maude Lamont. For the next morning, the maid finds Lamont's brutally murdered body in the séance room of the house on Southampton Row.
To Pitt's heavy burdens is now added the investigation of this most baffling crime. Meanwhile, his wife, Charlotte, and theirchildren are enjoying the country vacation that Pitt has been denied–unaware that they, too, are deeply endangered by the same fanatical forces hovering over the steadfast Pitt.
In this riveting new Thomas and Charlotte Pitt novel, Anne Perry again proves herself a sorceress who transcends time and change, a master without parallel of the dazzling milieu she has so memorably made her own.
Editorial Reviews
"Fast moving and utterly engrossing . . . Perry's Victorian novels attain the societal sweep of Trollope or Thackeray; she has absolute command over both political history and the small fascinating details of everyday life."—Booklist (starred review)
"A mystery—a very good one . . . Status, rights, love, and duty are hallmarks of Perry's narratives. Here, they are brought into finer focus, allowing their inherent drama to carry the story forward."—Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Perry skillfully explores the gap between the Victorians' love of knowledge and their deepening suspicion that their way of life cannot continue."—The Boston Globe
"Delicious political treachery . . . [Perry's] grasp of the economic and social forces of the period is masterly."—Chicago Sun-Times

Read an Excerpt
By Anne Perry
Ballantine Books "I'm sorry," Assistant Commissioner Cornwallis said quietly, his face a mask of guilt and unhappiness. "I did everything I could, made every argument, moral and legal. But I can't fight the Inner Circle."

Pitt was stunned. He stood in the middle of the office with the sunlight splashing across the floor and the noise of horses' hooves, wheels on the cobbles and the shouts of drivers barely muffled beyond the window. Pleasure boats plied up and down the Thames on the hot June day. After the Whitechapel conspiracy he had been reinstated as superintendent of the Bow Street police station. Queen Victoria herself had thanked him for his courage and loyalty. Now, Cornwallis was dismissing him again! "They can't," Pitt protested. "Her Majesty herself ..."
Cornwallis's eyes did not waver, but they were filled with misery. "They can. They have more power than you or I will ever know. The Queen will hear what they want her to. If we take it to her, believe me, you will have nothing left, not even Special Branch. Narraway will be glad to have you back." The words seemed forced from him, harsh in his throat. "Take it, Pitt. For your own sake, and your family's. It is the best you'll get. And you're good at it. No one could measure what you did for your country in beating Voisey at Whitechapel."
"Beating him!" Pitt said bitterly. "He's knighted by the Queen, and the Inner Circle is still powerful enough to say who shallbe superintendent of Bow Street and who shan't!"
Cornwallis winced, the skin drawn tight across the bones of his face. "I know. But if you hadn't beaten him, England would now be a republic in turmoil, perhaps even civil war, and Voisey would be the first president. That's what he wanted. You beat him, Pitt, never doubt it ... and never forget it, either. He won't."
Pitt's shoulders slumped. He felt bruised and weary. How would he tell Charlotte? She would be furious for him, outraged at the unfairness of it. She would want to fight, but there was nothing to do. He knew that, he was only arguing with Cornwallis because the shock had not passed, the rage at the injustice of it. He had really believed his position at least was safe, after the Queen's acknowledgment of his worth.
"You're due a holiday," Cornwallis said. "Take it. I'm ... I'm sorry I had to tell you before."
Pitt could think of nothing to say. He had not the heart to be gracious.
"Go somewhere nice, right out of London," Cornwallis went on. "The country, or the sea."
"Yes ... I suppose so." It would be easier for Charlotte, for the children. She would still be hurt but at least they would have time together. It was years since they had taken more than a few days and just walked through woods or over fields, eaten picnic sandwiches and watched the sky.
Charlotte was horrified, but after the first outburst she hid it, perhaps largely for the children's sake. Ten-and-a-half-year-old Jemima was instant to pick up any emotion, and Daniel, two years younger, was quick behind. Instead she made much of the chance for a holiday and began to plan when they should go and to think about how much they could afford to spend.
Within days it was arranged. They would take her sister Emily's son with them as well; he was the same age and was keen to escape the formality of the schoolroom and the responsibilities he was already learning as his father's heir. Emily's first husband had been Lord Ashworth, and his death had left the title and bulk of the inheritance to their only son, Edward.
They would stay in a cottage in the small village of Harford, on the edge of Dartmoor, for two and a half weeks. By the time they returned the general election would be over and Pitt would report again to Narraway at Special Branch, the infant service set up largely to battle the Fenian bombers and the whole bedeviled Irish question of Home Rule, which Gladstone was fighting all over again, and with as little hope of success as ever.
"I don't know how much to take for the children," Charlotte said as if it were a question. "How dirty will they get, I wonder ..."
They were in the bedroom doing the last of the packing before going for the midday train south and west.
"Very, I hope," Pitt replied with a grin. "It isn't healthy for a child to be clean ... not a boy, anyway."
"Then you can do some of the laundry!" she replied instantly. "I'll show you how to use a flatiron. It's very easyjust heavyand tedious."
He was about to retaliate when their maid, Gracie, spoke from the doorway. "There's a cabbie 'ere with a message for yer, Mr. Pitt," she said. "'E give me this." She offered him a piece of paper folded over.
He took it and opened it up.
Pitt, I need to see you immediately. Come with the bearer of this message. Narraway.
"What is it?" Charlotte asked, a sharp edge to her voice as she watched his expression change. "What's happened?"
"I don't know," he replied. "Narraway wants to see me, but it can't be much. I'm not starting back with Special Branch for another three weeks."
Naturally she knew who Narraway was, although she had never met him. Ever since her first encounter with Pitt eleven years ago, in 1881, she had played a lively part in every one of his cases that aroused her curiosity or her outrage, or in which someone she cared about was involved. In fact, it was she who had befriended the widow of John Adinett's victim in the Whitechapel conspiracy and finally discovered the reason for his death. She had a better idea than anyone else outside Special Branch of who Narraway was.
"Well, you'd better tell him not to keep you long," she said angrily. "You are on holiday, and have a train to catch at noon. I wish he'd called tomorrow, when we'd have been gone!"
"I don't suppose it's much," he said lightly. He smiled, but the smile was a trifle downturned at the corners. "There've been no bombings lately, and with an election coming at any time there probably won't be for a while."
"Then why can it not wait until you come back?" she asked.
"It probably can." He shrugged ruefully. "But I can't afford to disobey him." It was a hard reminder of his new situation.
He reported directly to Narraway and he had no recourse beyond him, no public knowledge, no open court to appeal to, as he had had when a policeman. If Narraway refused him there was nowhere else to turn.
"Yes ..." She lowered her eyes. "I know. Just remind him about the train. There isn't a later one to get there tonight."
"I will." He kissed her swiftly on the cheek and then turned and went out of the door and down the stairs to the pavement, where the cabbie waited for him.
"Right, sir?" the cabbie asked from the box.
"Yes," Pitt accepted. He glanced up at him, then climbed into the hansom and sat down as it started to move. What could Victor Narraway want from him that could not as easily wait until he reported back in three weeks? Was it just an exercise of his power, to establish again who was master? It could hardly be for his opinion; he was still a novice at Special Branch work. He knew almost nothing about the Fenians; he had no expertise in dynamite or any other explosives. He knew very little about conspiracies in quarrel, nor in honesty did he want to. He was a detective, a policeman. His skill was in solving crimes, unraveling the details and the passions of individual murder, not the machinations of spies, anarchists and political revolutionaries.
He had succeeded brilliantly in Whitechapel, but that was over now. All that they would ever know of the truth rested in silence, darkness and bodies decently buried to hide the terrible things that had happened to them. Charles Voisey was still alive, and they could prove nothing against him. But there had been a kind of justice. He, secret hero of the movement to overthrow the throne, had been maneuvered into seeming to have risked his life to save it. Pitt smiled and felt his throat tighten with grief as he remembered standing beside Charlotte and Vespasia in Buckingham Palace as the Queen had knighted Voisey for his services to the Crown. Voisey had risen from his knees too incensed with rage to speakwhich Victoria had taken for awe, and smiled indulgently. The Prince of Wales had praised him, and Voisey had turned and walked back past Pitt with a hatred in his eyes like the fires of hell. Even now Pitt felt a cold knot tighten in his stomach remembering it.
Yes, Dartmoor would be good: great, clean, wind-driven skies, the smell of earth and grass on unpaved lanes. They would walk and talk together, or simply walk! He would fly kites with Daniel and Edward, climb some of the tors, collect things, watch the birds or animals. Charlotte and Jemima could do whatever they wished, visit people, make new friends, look at gardens, or search for wildflowers.
The cab stopped. "'Ere y'are sir," the driver called. "Go right in. Gentleman's expecting yer."
"Thank you." Pitt climbed out and walked across the pavement to the steps leading up to a plain wooden door. It was not the shop in the back room of which he had found Narraway in Whitechapel. Perhaps he moved around as the need directed? Pitt opened the door without knocking and went in. He found himself in a passage which led to a pleasant sitting room with windows onto a tiny garden, which was mostly crowded with overgrown roses badly in need of pruning.
Victor Narraway was sitting in one of the two armchairs, and he looked up at Pitt without rising. He was a slender man, very neatly dressed, of average height, but nevertheless his appearance was striking because of the intelligence in his face. Even in repose there was an energy within him as if his mind never rested. He had thick, dark hair, now liberally sprinkled with gray, hooded eyes which were almost black, and a long, straight nose.
"Sit down," he ordered as Pitt remained on his feet. "I have no intention of staring up at you. And you will grow tired in time and start to fidget, which will annoy me."
Pitt put his hands in his pockets. "I haven't long. I'm going to Dartmoor on the noon train."
Narraway's heavy eyebrows rose. "With your family?"
"Yes, of course."
"I'm sorry."
"There is nothing to be sorry about," Pitt replied. "I shall enjoy it very much. And after Whitechapel I have earned it."
"You have," Narraway agreed quietly. "Nevertheless you are not going."
"Yes I am." They had known each other only a few months, worked very loosely together on just the one case. It was not like Pitt's long relationship with Cornwallis, whom he liked profoundly and would have trusted more than any other man he could think of. He was still unsure what he felt about Narraway, and certainly he did not trust him, in spite of his conduct in Whitechapel. He believed Narraway served the country and was a man of honor according to his own code of ethics, but Pitt did not yet understand what they were, and there was no bond of friendship between them.
Narraway sighed. "Please sit down, Pitt. I expect you to make this morally uncomfortable for me, but be civil enough not to make it physically so as well. I dislike craning my neck to stare up at you."
"I am going to Dartmoor today," Pitt repeated, but he did sit down in the other chair.
"This is the eighteenth of June. Parliament will rise on the twenty-eighth," Narraway said wearily, as if the knowledge was sad and indescribably exhausting. "There will be a general election immediately. I daresay we shall have the first results by the fourth or fifth of July."
"Then I shall forfeit my vote," Pitt replied. "Because I shall not be at home. I daresay it will make no difference whatever."
Narraway looked at him steadily. "Is your constituency so corrupt?"
Pitt was slightly surprised. "I don't think so. But it has been Liberal for years, and general opinion seems to be that Gladstone will get in, but with a narrow majority. You haven't called me here three weeks before I start in order to tell me that!"
"Not precisely."
"Not even approximately!" Pitt started to rise.
"Sit down!" Narraway ordered with a suppressed rage making his voice cut like a blow.
Pitt sat more out of surprise than obedience.
"You handled the Whitechapel business well," Narraway said in a calm, quiet voice, leaning back again and crossing his legs. "You have courage, imagination and initiative. You even have morality. You defeated the Inner Circle in court, although you might have thought twice had you known it was they you were against. You are a good detective, the best I have, God help me!" he replied. "Most of my men are more used to explosives and assassination attempts. You did well to defeat Voisey at all, but your turning of the murder on its head to have him knighted for saving the throne was brilliant. It was the perfect revenge. His republican friends regard him as the arch-traitor to the cause." The merest smile touched Narraway's lips. "He was once their future president. Now they wouldn't allow him to lick stamps."
It should have been the highest praise, yet looking at Narraway's steady, shadowed eyes, Pitt felt only awareness of danger.
"He will never forgive you for it," Narraway observed as casually as if he had done no more than remark the time.
Pitt's throat tightened so his answer was scratchy. "I know that. I had never imagined he would. But you also said at the end of the affair that it would be nothing so simple as physical violence." His hands were stiff, his body cold, not for himself but for Charlotte and the children.
"It won't be," Narraway said gently. For an instant there was a softness in his face, then it was gone again. "But he has turned your stroke of genius to his own use, that is his genius."
Pitt cleared his throat. "I don't know what you mean."
"He is a hero! Knighted by the Queen for saving the throne," Narraway said, uncrossing his legs and leaning forward, a sudden passion of bitterness twisting his face. "He is going to stand for Parliament!"
Pitt was stunned. "What?"
"You heard what I said! He is standing for Parliament, and if he wins he will use the Inner Circle to rise very quickly to high office. He has resigned his place on the Appeal Court Bench and taken to politics. The next government will be Conservative, and it will not be long in coming. Gladstone won't last. Apart from the fact that he is eighty-three, Home Rule will finish him." His eyes did not move from Pitt's face. "Then we will see Voisey as Lord Chancellor, head of the Empire's judiciary! He will have the power to corrupt any court in the land, which means in the end, all of them."
It was appalling, but Pitt could already see how it was possible. Every argument died on his lips before he spoke it.
Narraway relaxed fractionally, an easing of the muscles so slight it was barely visible. "He's standing for the South Lambeth seat."
Pitt quickly thought of his London geography. "Wouldn't that take in Camberwell, or Brixton?"
"Both." Narraway's eyes were steady. "And yes, it's a Liberal seat, and he's Conservative. But that doesn't ease my mind, and if it eases yours, then you're a fool!"
"It doesn't," Pitt said coldly. "He'll have a reason. There'll be somebody he can bribe or intimidate, some place where the Inner Circle has its power he can use. Who is the Liberal candidate?"
Narraway nodded very slowly, still looking at Pitt. "A new man, one Aubrey Serracold."
Pitt asked the obvious. "Is he Inner Circle, and will stand down at the last moment, or throw the election in some other way?"
"No." Narraway said it with certainty, but he did not explain how he knew. If he had sources somewhere deep inside the Inner Circle, he did not disclose them, even to his own men. Pitt would have thought less of him if he had. "If I could see where it was coming from, or how, I wouldn't need you to stay in London and watch," Narraway continued. "Throwing you out of Bow Street may prove to be one of their greatest mistakes." It was a reminder of their power, and the injustice against Pitt. Precise knowledge of what he was saying sparkled hard and bright in his eyes, and he made no pretense to hide it. They both knew he did not need to.

Who says history can't be fun? Perry is brilliant in exposing the pros and cons of the 1890 political views and their ramifications. The analogies to today's controversies are astounding. Britain's vast empire serves to provide huge markets for its working class while demanding an armed forces to preserve it. Working conditions are appalling but as awful as they are, perhaps they are better than no work at all. What should be the role of women? How does the Church figure into the daily lives of its members and how do the clergy deal with Darwinism and their own personal beliefs? Mixed into the fabric of the history is a fabulous whodunit with all kinds of typical twists and turns of which Perry is notoriously famous. Her themes of family loyalty versus betrayal in order to preserve moral and ethical rightness, flourish again. Just when you think you've read her best book (White Chapel Conspiracy) she outdoes herself. I believe this was her best Pitt book so far. Although I recommend starting with book 1 and not stopping until you get to 23!
In late nineteenth England, it is not the monarchy or parliament who rules the country but a clandestine organization known to only a few as the Inner Circle. Thomas Pitt, a Metropolitan Street policeman, once tangled with a member of that group and for his effort was fired from his position as the superintendent of the Bow Street Station. When he was able to neutralize his enemy Queen Victoria reinstated him. Unfortunately, his enemy was able to hold on to his power and thus pulled strings to force the transfer of Pitt from Bow Street to Special Branch, an organization involved in guarding England¿s from her enemies. Pitt is assigned the task of neutralizing his old enemy who is running for a seat in the House of Commons. The former superintendent knows that if he wants to keep his wife and children safe, he must succeed in his assignment and do it before his enemy has a more powerful base than he already has. Anne Perry, the leading writer of Victorian mysteries, has published her best work to date in SOUTHAMPTON ROW. It is as much a political thriller as it is a Victorian historical mystery. The details of the era are so detailed and colorful, that it feels as if the author actually lived in that period. The mystery is complex and creative but the most fascinating part of the book is the political picture Perry paints for her audience that turn a potent tale into a masterpiece. Harriet Klausner
Love this series and the Pitts series. Hven't tried WWI. Recomend to anyone who loves Lord Peter Wimsey and Albert Campion.
'Southampton Row', English author Anne Perry's latest novel in the Inspector Pitt series places the intrepid Inspector in a setting that leaves the reader intrigued and troubled. It is Pitt's success in 'The Whitechapel Conspiracy' that now threatens him and his family. Charles Voisey, the Inspector's Whitechapel nemesis reappears to haunt Pitt again. Thanks to the machinations of the Inner Circle, Pitt loses his position at the Bow Street Station and is sent to work at the Special Branch Office, a division within the Police Force set up to investigate terrorist activities. The terrorist in Pitt's life turns out to be Voisey who, as part of his continuing effort to republicanize English politics, campaigns for Parliament. Pitt is assigned to shadow Voisey and determine his weaknesses. The campaign and Voisey's connection to the murder of a spiritual medium in Southampton Row threaten Pitt professionally and personally. The new setting involves more than just the detection of a murderer, it involves the mind games played in the web of deception woven by the Inner Circle and all those forced to deal with it. In 'Southampton Row', Inspector Pitt is compelled to think and act like those he despises most, the members of the super-secret Inner Circle. In the process, Pitt develops more than his usual sincere search for truth and justice, he demonstrates a newfound ability to think like Voisey. This leaves the reader wondering if the good Inspector is now walking the same path as Voisey and descending into a pit of deception. Has he, through his work, become contaminated with the characteristics of those he despises most? What price truth? Honor? The safety of loved ones? Will Thomas compromise his principals to protect Charlotte and their children? The novel forces the reader to grapple with these same questions of conscience. 'Southampton Row' is Perry's most compelling novel to date. It is a must-read for fans of Thomas and Charlotte Pitt. Best of all, this reader sees several potential story lines for future books in this series.
Anne Perry allows her readers to feel as though they were there with the characters themselves. The most Brilliant of her talents is that she 'teaches' her audience real history and makes a pure enjoyment from indulging in it.

Citadel is plenty scary: a bare-bones man-against-his-worst-fears white knuckler, shot through deep, menacing shadows.
This is a basic story, simply and directly told by Irish writer-director Ciaran Foy. He doesn't try to explain too much, he doesn't depend on special effects and stays just this side of the unbelievable.
The more that fright-flick conventions take over, the more the movie's recognizable and resonant human fears are dulled.
This spare first feature from the Irish filmmaker Ciaran Foy (drawing on his own experiences) has an atavistic pulse, evoking a decaying society where elevators fail and bus drivers cower behind mesh grills.
Plenty of pungent ideas and a nice line in urban terror. The final product falls short of the best in Brit horror, though.

As a neighborhood goes through slow rehabilitation a twisted"Citadel" delves deep into the dark and sinister realm of social collapse. As a neighborhood goes through slow rehabilitation a twisted reality unfolds. Savage and untamed youths lay siege to a tower block in the community killing anyone who crosses their path and stealing the children. The story has a sort of melancholic atmosphere which pulls at your emotions as it draws you into the story. It flows from moments of casual melodrama and intense suspensefulness that makes most of the scenes feel for intense than they really are. It creates an almost nervous anticipation for during most of the film. It is a truly dark story which expresses a lot of emotion and desperation as a movie goer watching the story unfold that is an added bonus. The revealing cause of the vicious nature of the youths terrorizing the community is truly sinister but could have been played up a little more than it is in the movie. There is a slight imbalance between the slower more emotional scenes and the intense thrill scenes. However not enough of an issue to not find this movie pleasurable. It is disturbing and kind of twisted. I really enjoyed the more vulnerable and heartfelt approach to horror this film takes.… Expand

Definitely not the best actor ever but you could see the fear and accomplishment when he was simply trying to leave his house! The atmosphere is dark and has a unique touch to it!

The acting is pretty poor and the suspense/horror was spoiled for me by too much being revealed too soon. It's such a shame because it has a lot going for it. Very atmospheric with some bleak locations that really add to the sense of foreboding. A decent plot at it's core with a very disturbing concept and some brilliantly intense scenes. But the plot takes a dissapointing direction early on. I switched it off eventually. Would love to see more original, low budget films like this though… Expand
Feb 1, 2013It took me a while to get absorbed in this because I'm familiar with the area where this was filmed. Once I was into Citadel it was a bit slowIt took me a while to get absorbed in this because I'm familiar with the area where this was filmed. Once I was into Citadel it was a bit slow but It's actually a nicely paced, moody horror that kept me interested throughout.
The acting was pretty good all round, even the baby cried on cue, lol. James Cosmo (Braveheart, Sons of Anarchy) is the only person I recognised and his role as the heavy handed, ever swearing Priest seemed almost convincing but he was good. Aneurin Barnard played the most annoying of characters Tommy who I kept hoping would get killed in a particularly nasty way. Admittedly his acting was good it was just his role that I hated. The very attractive Wunmi Mosaku played the (almost) love interest well and I really hope I see more her in future.
This was a nicely produced and well directed indie flik and all with minimum resources which is impressive. I hope Ciaran Foy, the writer/director does more features because this being his first he's done very, very well. Recommended.

MSNBC's South Carolina Debate Expert Might Not Have Watched The South Carolina Debate
Damn, bro.
Huck PAC director, and former Executive Director of the South Carolina Republican Party, Hogan Gidley appeared on MSNBC's Now to give his expert take on Monday night's debate in South Carolina between Mark Sanford and Elizabeth Colbert Busch. It wasn't pretty:
GIDLEY: "The fact of the matter is she missed huge opportunities to take apart Mark Sanford's professional record…the fact that our port (Port Charleston) was second in the world when he took over — I think it fell to 12th under his leadership because he refused to do anything about dredging down there."
The fact of the matter is that Colbert Busch did hit Sanford about dredging Port Charleston. Twice:
COLBERT BUSCH: "I'd like to make note that Mark Sanford, my opponent, voted against dredging the port, voted against the bridge, and voted against everything. And he was the only congressman to do that.."
COLBERT BUSCH: "When we talk about the role of government, creating conditions and infrastructure to support that growth, I want to remind everyone again, and Mark, you voted against the bridge, you voted against the dredging, you voted against job training, and all of those things are needed for job creation.."
- The former Miss Universe pageant winner who Donald Trump called fat says he treated her "like trash." Now, she's fighting back.
- Donald Trump denied that he had the sniffles during last night's first presidential debate — he blamed the sound on a bad mic.

Will Eli continue to utter these words on every play?
After all, it's April.
Sound, smart and tough committed to discipline and poise.
Maybe he'll switch to Green Eighteen
I wish Eli would take a pay cut to help the team and call out "Oreo Oreo" or "citizens Eco drive" to make it up in endorsement money
Lincoln Nebraska doesnt get enough recognition
Well he has to say mike when he points out which LB is the mike on that play and Omaha lets everyone know hes about to snap when hes short on time. I might be a bit off on Omaha but Im pretty sure thats why he yells those.
Mike would remain the same because he's just pointing out a specific guy on the other side, its pretty much universal for all qbs

Dear friends,
Welcome to the Wine Tasting Network, formerly known as winetasting.com. We've gone through a massive brand transformation to be a better personal shopper and wine concierge to you. Think about it for a minute, most of the time when you're selecting a wine, you're asked to consider a grape, a country or region, a time, a style, a winery or winemaker… Most of us in the 'wine biz' labor over these attributes, and endlessly discuss their merits and defects.
But who gets lost in this conversation? You.

Before beginning your self storage search in Taylorsville, there are a few things you should know. The pricing and availability of storage units in Taylorsville will depend on several factors such as the real estate climate, the number of people moving into or throughout the area, housing conditions in the city, and the general wealth and prosperity of the area. Using US Census data, we've pieced together a better picture of those factors as they relate to self storage in Taylorsville.
If there are many people moving to or from Taylorsville, prices could be higher than in other cities. That's because self storage if often used as part of a home move. Population changes over time are one way of gauging the amount of moving activity in Taylorsville. The Taylorsville metro area grew from 58,703 persons in 2010 to 60,433 persons in 2014 according to the US Census, an increase of 2.95%.
One way to get an idea of the demand for housing and storage space in Taylorsville is to look at housing occupancy and vacancy rates. Low rates of vacancy in Taylorsville housing could indicate that real estate is in short supply. Self storage units in Taylorsville may then also be in short supply, which means Taylorsville storage unit prices may be higher. According to US Census estimates, 95.6% of housing units in Taylorsville are occupied, while the vacancy rate is at 4.4%. The average occupancy rate in US cities is 89%, so it's likely the case that storage facilities in Taylorsville also have higher than average occupancy rates. High occupancy rates in Taylorsville will make it more difficult to find a good deal on a storage unit.

I went to Dr. Alley for a 2nd opinion of my diagnosis of Lymphadenophathy and treatment. He reviewed all my CT Scans and blood tests, and explained the treatment he would use which was the same as my Dr. was using. He took his time and answered all my questions and my wife's questions. He spent 35 minutes with me, one on one.
Dr. Alley is the most caring doctor I have ever met. He takes his time with you, making sure you understand everything he says. He cares not only about your physical being, but also about your emotional well being. He also makes sure your caregivers understand, and also gives advise to them to eleminate any, and all of their concerns. Sometimes your wait is not as timely as you would like, but the care you receive out ways the wait. I have suggested to many new cancer patients to go to Dr. Alley, and will continue to do so. His staff is just as kind and knowledgeable as he is.
Dr Alley and the nurses at Regional Hematology are both prompt professional and the doctor takes the time to make sure your questions are answered.
