There was always a flip side to the giant Highbury crowds of the 1930s. It certainly wasn't all bonhomie, not even when the Gunners continued to enjoy success on the pitch under George Allison.
The voracious capture of silverware under Herbert Chapman in the first part of the decade raised expectation levels to ludicrously high levels. George Male recalled: "I noticed that the crowd was very quick to get on our backs if things didn't go according to the script at home. In fairness, they were picking up on Herbert Chapman's feeling that the team needed urgent rebuilding work. All of us – players and fans – were learning that even a title-winning season might not ultimately be considered a vintage year. The more you won, the more was expected of you."
In the mid 1930s, Ted Drake recalled: "My astonishment that crowds were now on Alex James' case. He'd admittedly slowed a bit, and wasn't getting on too well with George Allison but to actually moan at him? I was frankly astonished."
The well-oiled Arsenal machine was beginning – ever so slightly – to splutter. Drake also remembered: "Teams like Sunderland, Preston, and Wolves were catching up with us fast. Those fellows who'd played in the early part of the '30s reckoned it wasn't as much fun as it had been, and some of the players reckoned it may have been because people were edgy due to the worries about the situation in Europe. But I reckon that Arsenal fans were simply becoming more demanding."
The quality might not have been of the Chapman vintage, but the Gunners were still box office and could scrap, and often outpoint, the best of them when required.
In 1936, Arsenal tailed off in the league but reached Wembley to face Sheffield United at Wembley in the FA Cup Final, having seen off Bristol Rovers, Liverpool, Newcastle, Barnsley and Grimsby en route.
Allison had issues with his team selection, as Drake, James, Eddie Hapgood and Herbie Roberts were struggling with injuries. The battering ram Drake ("my knee was absolutely killing me," he recalled) had only just recovered from a cartilage operation, but was shoved in to a reshuffled attack alongside Ray Bowden and Cliff Bastin.
Second Division United dominated proceedings, but in the 74th minute Ted Drake sidestepped Blades' skipper Johnson and beat goalkeeper Smith. Drake collapsed in pain afterwards, his knee having given way, but yet again he had done his job, and skipper Alex James lifted his final piece of silverware for the Gunners.
Pipped to the title in 1937 by a rampant Man City, Arsenal were forced to replace the seemingly irreplaceable when James retired that summer. More than anyone, 'Wee Alec' embodied Arsenal's glamorous aura in the 1930s, and the harbingers of doom claimed that the Gunners would never be the same without him.
To a degree that was true, but Allison's team rallied, and despite losing 11 of their 42 games in the 1937/38 campaign, squeezed out Wolves and Brentford to claim their fifth title of the 1930s. Bastin and Male were the only survivors from Chapman's teams of the early '30s. That year, Allison's squad was beset by injuries, but a 5-0 win against Bolton in the final match was enough for Arsenal to win the title.
Drake recalled: "I look back with a mixture of pride and regret on that particular title, because although I was delighted with what we achieved, it signalled the end of the best decade in Arsenal's history."
Arsenal tailed off in fifth place in 1938/39, as Allison attempted to fill the "star void" left by James' departure with Bryn Jones, who arrived from Wolves in June 1938 for a gargantuan £14,000. His transfer fee caused shock waves to travel through the football world, and was even discussed in the Houses of Parliament. Several leading journalists of the era claimed that the fee may never be exceeded.
A nippy, pacy forward who'd performed well in a fine Wolves side, Jones was dubbed the "new Alex James," but the team, undergoing a fairly major change in personnel, struggled to accommodate a free spirit like Jones. Drake recalled: "I thought that Bryn was also used to the team operating around him at Wolves, but at Highbury, he had to fit in with us. Within a couple of weeks, it was clear that he was never going to adapt quickly enough. Arsenal were in the process of finishing fifth that year, and very quickly, we all thought he was a luxury player who played well when the team played well, rather than a James type, who could drag the team along by the bootlaces when things weren't going well."
The football world at large claimed that Jones's signing proved George Allison was taking the Bank Of England tag too far. Frustrated Arsenal fans sung of the team's big spending: "No more money in the bank, what's to do about it? Let's put them to bed." In 1938, Jones was dropped from Arsenal's first team in a bid to pull him out of the limelight.
Expecting to run out in front of the proverbial one man and his dog at a reserve game, Jones was astonished to see 33,000 had turned up – simply out of curiosity to see how the world's most expensive player coped in these surroundings. He was also an extremely unlucky player.
Restored to the first team at the start of the 1939/40 season, his displays drew plaudits from several leading newspapers, including the Daily Telegraph: "Jones is finally showing the Arsenal fans just why he was worth so much money." Yet all three games are now expunged from official records, after the outbreak of World War Two meant the suspension of the league programme.
In late 1939, Arsenal season ticket holders received a letter from Gunners Secretary Manager George Allison, informing them that the ground had been requisitioned by the Public Authorities. Arsenal fan Lesley Waters recalled: "The letter didn't really come as any major surprise. I remember Allison's letter finished with the line 'I look forward to the time when all Arsenal supporters will be able to foregather on the Highbury ground as they have done in the past.'
It brought home the full enormity of what was going on. It was the final proof – if any were needed, that normal life was over." As the conflict began, the memories of the Club's golden decade began to fade rapidly, and like the rest of the country, Arsenal FC faced an uncertain future.
- In 1938, George Allison gave permission for Highbury to be used for the filming of Leonard Gribble's The Arsenal Stadium Mystery.
- The footage used for the mythical Arsenal v Trojans match was actually from a May 1939 clash between Arsenal and Brentford. With the records for the games at the start of the 1939/40 expunged, it proved to be Arsenal's last first class game for nearly six years.

Excerpt: "With the news that forthcoming Browns owner Jimmy Haslam was approved to actually own the team and with the report that Cleveland general manager Tom Heckert is telling those close to him that he's worried for his job, it only makes sense that coach Pat Shurmur's employment status could be in real trouble too.
Naturally, that leads us to wonder who would replace Shurmur as the sixth full-time Browns coach since 2000 if he were to get fired. How about Jon Gruden?
Well, CBSSports.com's Pete Prisco, how about it?
The name you keep hearing in circles and rumors is Jon Gruden, Prisco said on CBSSports.com's Pro Football 360(video below). Haslam is a Tennessee guy and at one point, he was linked to Gruden trying to get him to come to Tennessee. That's a guy to keep an eye on. Read more...

Second-Hand Smoke Linked to Flu Complications in Kids
Everyone knows by now that smoking is bad for your health, but there are people who will still argue that second-hand tobacco smoke isn't harmful to those to have to inhale it. If you're an adult you can choose to leave a smoky environment. However, if you're a child you're pretty much at the mercy of the smoking adults in the household. If you're a child with the flu, all that smoke could be making you even sicker.
Children who have been hospitalized with the flu, and come from homes where they've been exposed to second-hand smoke, are more likely to need intensive care and a longer stay before they are released according to a small new study published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
Researchers analyzed more 100 children hospitalized with flu in the state of New York. They found that those exposed to second-hand smoke were five times more likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit and required a 70 percent longer stay in the hospital, compared to the kids not exposed to smoke.
"People are being a bit complacent and thinking that because they don't see smoking as often that it's not a problem anymore," said Dr. Karen Wilson, of Children's Hospital Colorado, in Aurora, who led the study. "But we still need to be vigilant about protecting kids from second-hand smoke."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that passive smoking can have a huge impact on children. According to the CDC, second-hand smoke causes ear infections, breathing problems, and lung infections in children and leads to hospitalization of up to 15,000 kids-under the age of 18 months-every year.
The study is the first of its kind to look at the effect of second-hand smoke on kids with influenza.
Wilson and her team looked at hospital records for 117 kids admitted for influenza to a New York hospital between 2002 and 2009.
Second-hand smoke exposure was reported on the charts of 40 percent of the kids - slightly lower than the 53 percent national exposure rate for kids under 11 estimated by the CDC in 2008.
During the seven-year study, researchers found that overall, 18 percent of the flu-affected kids were admitted to intensive care, and six percent needed to be intubated with a breathing tube. On average, kids stayed in the hospital for two days.
When Wilson and her team compared the kids who had been exposed to second-hand smoke to those who weren't, they found that 30 percent of smoke-exposed kids needed intensive care versus 10 percent of unexposed kids. Intubation was required for 13 percent of smoke-exposed kids, compared to one percent of those from a smoke-free home.
Hospital stays were up to 70 percent longer for smoke-exposed kids, with kids staying in for four days on average, compared with 2.4 days in non-exposed kids. If kids had a chronic illness as well as the flu, their length of stay increased to about 10 days, on average, if they had been breathing second-hand smoke, versus about three days in non-exposed sick kids.
The study does have its limitations. The authors note in their report that children with severe illnesses may have been screened more frequently for smoke exposure, leading to an underestimate of how many kids were exposed to smoke.
Even though the study involved only a small group of participants, the findings suggest that children with the flu who are seen in the emergency room should be screened more thoroughly to see if they have been exposed to second-hand smoke.
"If you have a child who comes into the hospital and they are exposed to tobacco smoke, they have more risk of going on to develop more severe illness," Wilson told Reuters Health. Knowing that kids are at increased risk could help physicians make better treatment decisions, she added.
For Wilson, it's critical that children don't end up in the ER in the first place.
"This is a preventable cause of severe flu, and it's sad that children are in a position to be exposed even though these serious complications can occur," said Wilson.
"Obviously not smoking and protecting children from smoke won't stop them from getting influenza, but it may help it from becoming a severe illness or (preventing) complications that we sometimes see," she added.
With flu season almost upon us, make sure your child isn't exposed to second-hand smoke. It could make the difference between a mild case of the flu or a severe one.

Reviews for this host's other properties
The bed was not the one on the picture, it was in a significantly worse condition, old and quite noisy.
The flat as such and the overall hygiene were alright, but if the check out is supposed to be at 10am, it ought to be 10am. Nonetheless, at 9.40am the cleaning woman entered the flat to change bed sheets, towels, etc. Worst thing was that she stayed inside the apartment, and wouldn't leave. Unacceptable, and needless to say that we had never before experienced such a situation.
As for the location, the flat is close to the Prater park, but quite far from the city centre (45 mins walking!). The area is definitely not the nicest in Vienna either.
The apartment is very well. This is very new and well connected. Very close to the amusement park in Vienna. You have a metro stop right in front of the apartment. Walter was very kind to us. Highly recommended to spend a few days in Vienna. Thanks for everything.
Transport possibility super, flat all right, friendly acceptance. Worth it.
The apartment has perfect location. It's near the metro station which if you want can walk to the inner city center. Walter and Birgit are great hosts, they are very kind people. I will advise this flat to my friends who want to visit Vienna. Danke schön.
Everything was very good. The apartment is well located, just two minutes to the railway station, and no more than 15 minutes to the city center.
All is very clean!And the kitchen is big enough to have 6 persons to eat together.
If we come back to Vienna, we will not hesitate to choose the same apartment.
Birgit, many thanks for your hospitality!
Attention was very poor. We sent several messages specifying the hour at which we would arrive and we were waiting for about 45 minutes outside the door and we could only get to the flat because a neighbour introduced us to the person that was supposed to be waiting for us.
They gave us a wrong telephone number of the person that was to receive us. After we finally got into the appartement, we got no apology mail or message whatsoever.
The appartment was correct and very well communicated. Only a one minute walk to the nearest metro station and it had supermarkets near. Hoowever, wifi was really bad. As for the appartment itself, it was ok but for example, the towels were the size of a cloth.
The kitchen was completely new and completely equipped and the bathroom has hot water and was good.
The appartment was correct but the attention received was very bad.
Clean, well-furnished apartment on the edge of the 17th district in Vienna. We enjoyed our stay generally but the street noise (specifically, the cars, trucks, and buses) were loud and made it difficult to sleep in the evenings. The lack of A/C is also a challenge during the summer months. The house was well-laid out and included everything we needed.

Interesting find on V.Williams who i also was impressed with more so than the beloved Nico Johnson.
[ And after Lynch's pregame promise to have the Seminoles "on their knees" in the fourth quarter, at least one Seminoles defender was determined to drive home the difference.
"He's terrible," linebacker Vince Williams told reporters after the game, pointing specifically to Lynch's much-publicized confidence for lighting FSU's fire: "It motivated us a lot," Williams said. "That was straight-up bulletin board material. First of all because of how much success our defense had. We've been really, really good and nobody's ever said anything like that to us. So we were like, 'this man must have lost his mind." "What did he do that was good?" Williams continued to rail, his voice rising in pace, pitch and volume. "He didn't do nothing that was good, we were killing him." CBSSports.com ]
Vocal, not afraid to say whats on his mind. I like that in a LB thats the type of fire needed in the locker room. Rolle cannot be the only one anymore the defense needs more of those type of guys.

My 2nd pick should probably be changed to Sylvester Williams even though Floyd is the better prospect. Doing more research into Floyd and he seems to be a late 1st pick or early 2nd with little chance to drop further than that.
I've considered switching Jamie Collins for an interior OL prospect but I'm really a big fan of finding a good 4-3 OLB who can offer excellent blitzing ability and also cover RBs out of the backfield too. Kiwi at OLB was a good idea in theory but he's just not the player for the job.
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/n...ut-DaneBruglerprovide some links please
That's just 1 so far but like I said in the OP: I'm predicting he reaches the 1st round because of a very good combine not only for the measurables and events but he will interview well too (I have a link of an interview he had in the middle of the season and he comes across as a very intelligent person with good character)
Thanks for the info and it makes me like the kid more. The fact he would be a late round pick gives me faith he would work his butt off to earn that starting role versus a possible early round LB who might assume he'll just get handed the job in our system.Vocal, not afraid to say whats on his mind.

Hmm... I had no idea he jumped that far in just one senior bowl game. I mocked him before the bowl game in the second round I think before most non informed knew who the kid was. Kind of happy he helped himself that much but was hoping he did just enough to be a value in the 2nd round where he would be available to us; call me greedy I guess.
So the question is and highly improbable but sertainly not impossible.
If Ansah is on the board along with Jones.
Not who is the BPA pick but who is the better pick for what we are trying to do right now?
Jones is a more polished DE with the ability to play DT
Ansah is typicallly JPP ( Raw but talented with a relenteless motor)
The thing with players like JPP is that they exploded on the scene with raw talent and get the best of the opposition, up until they game play to neutralize them, then they kind of hit a wall, as we saw this year with Paul. Do we need another Raw player who has trememdous upside or the more polished player with good upside, and a possible faster ability to improve his craft, during the season.
I know this is not the pouplar thought process on these boards when it comes to Ziggy, but I want to look at all sectors of whats the best option at 19.

New car sales in New Zealand look set this year to be back to pre-recession numbers thanks to a strong October.
October new car registrations took the market over last year's total of 64,019 vehicles with a combined year to date total of 64,285.
Not only was October the second strongest month this year, it was 35 per cent (1908 units) up on October 2011 - 5428 versus 7336.
Year to date passenger cars are 11,236 units up (21.2 per cent) on 2011 - 53,049 versus 64,285.
Commercial vehicles are holding their own, up 454 units on October 2011 - 1598 versus 2052. Year to date this segment is running 13.4 per cent (2391) ahead of 2011 - 17,787 units versus 20,178 units.
Perry Kerr, chief executive officer of the Motor Industry Association, again said all MIA members are happy with the way the market is performing.
"The global and local industry has faced its fair share of challenges over the past three years, all of which have impacted on sales," he said. "We have now climbed out of the hole and are back on a firm footing and will be very close to, if not breaking, the 100,000 unit mark for new vehicle sales, putting us back to the levels we saw prior to the GFC."
Toyota retained first position with passenger car sales recording 1862 units. Ford was in second place with 928, followed by Holden with 720.
In the commercial segment, the top three positions were Toyota (585), Ford second (261) and Nissan third (227).
The Toyota Corolla was the top selling model with 846 registrations followed by the Ford Focus with 344.
Next was the light commercial Toyota Hilux with 334 followed by the Suzuki Swift with 299.

Sources: Severstal weighs options for Dearborn plant
OAO Severstal, the Russian steelmaker controlled by billionaire Alexey Mordashov, said it is considering "a range of strategic options" for its North American unit amid reports the business may be sold. The review could even result in a sale of its Dearborn plant, sources say.
"No decision has yet been taken as to which, if any, such (strategic options) might be pursued," the Cherepovets-based company said in a regulatory statement last week.
Severstal, whose North American operations are based in Dearborn, is assessing offers for its plants in Dearborn and Columbus, Miss., people familiar with the matter said May 10, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are private. The bidders include Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel Corp., whose Great Lakes Works operates in Ecorse and River Rouge, and number more than two, these people said last week.
Spokeswomen from U.S. Steel and Severstal declined to comment.
The U.S. sites have total annual capacity to produce 5.2 million metric tons of steel. The Russian company has invested more than $2 billion in the assets since 2004.
Companhia Siderurgica Nacional has made an approach for the assets, for which Severstal may receive as much as $1.5 billion, according to a May 9 report in the Wall Street Journal. A spokesman for Sao Paulo-based CSN declined to comment.
Severstal advanced 7 percent in trading last week to $8.82 in London trading, the highest since Jan. 24.
"A deal closed at $1.5 billion would boost Severstal's market capitalization as it would mean that its American assets have a higher valuation in terms of multiples compared with the parent company," Kirill Chuyko, the Moscow-based head of equity research for BCS Financial Group, said Tuesday.
Changes in North America
Severstal North America, the Dearborn-based U.S. subsidiary of Severstal, replaced nearly all of its senior management last year in an attempt to create "profitable, sustainable growth," CEO Saikat Dey said.
Dey replaced former CEO Sergei Kuznetsov on Sept. 3, 2013, and a flurry of management changes followed. Within weeks, nearly all of it top management had been replaced, including its CFO and three vice presidents.
Dey said the changes reflect the company's shift in priorities.
The old team "was focused on building new assets, investing in Dearborn and maintaining an automotive business; doing the M&A and the divestment," he said. "That was probably the right team. Now we face a different challenge ... a change in focus."
Dey said late last year that the new direction of Severstal is focused on higher-margin, or value-added, products thanks to the investments in North America.
"We believe, we have the potential to make these assets more profitable," Dey said. "All it takes is good driving."
Severstal North America will also focus on "cash discipline" and quality, Dey said.
Crain's Detroit Business contributed to this report.

A message for the Oliver Family.
I just had the time to read through your "About Me Link", I must admit , I knew most of your working history and I've watched your struggles with the first fifteen, as your lovely wife was about to give birth and I often wandered just how the hell you both managed to kept it together! You never underplayed the things that went right& you never overplayed the Dramas [and there were a few]. :!: What's left of my Mom's family still live in London and my brother-in-law was just transferred there. He's in the military and has taken command of his specialized troops,[I better leave it at that] hope you understand. I only hope his wife can roll with the punches, with as much grace and happiness as Jools did.Both my kids have long since moved on, and I looked at that beautiful picture of you & Jools and your little ones, & my heart aches and I wonder where did all that time go, where did all those wonderful years go? All I really know is that it went to fast, way to bloody fast! I'm sorry Jamie, I seem to have gotten a little teary eyed, so I'll say Bye for now, Keep them as close as you can Jamie & Jools, make memories everyday your with them, [silly,stupid & wonderful memories],and as I always end my correspondence, "I hope everyone had at least one reason to smile today", Best Wishes, ..Mrs.D.. :cry:

I can be cynical and sarcastic Mrs D when I detect sycophancy, ignorance and patronising attitudes but you sound very sad and I want to encourage you to post on here. Look out for posts by mercedes, elvis, kjab, luna, guzz, sabs, bookgirl, cupcake, lorne - amongst many others. That's just on Leftovers which is the only forum I visit.
We have a lot of laughs (and most of them are Cambodians). They'll inspire you and lighten your heart which sounds as if it needs a little lifting.
But beware!! Once you get it it's evey man for himself

Re: A message for the Oliver Family.
Thank you Honey, for the sweet words and the obvious care for your fellow human beings! I have posted a few times on Leftovers, believe it or not , I've left a few of my well preserved jokes. Maybe you could take a peek at my posts,[ or even my profile], I've never asked anyone to do that before, so you must of touched a soft spot sweetie, and I must admit that today was probably a bad time to have looked at the Oliver's happy family photo. It was Thanksgiving here and I was sitting alone and, you were right, I couldn't stop the tears, I miss my family that was, when they were little & they needed me. That picture sorta brought back a flood of emotions and I thank you for noticing that, and I thank you for sending me the message that someone was listening and that you cared, it was very sweet! Well I'll say bye for now, and I hope everyone had at least one reason to smile today!, & KittenClaws, you were the one who gave me the reason today! Mrs.D..

Re: A message for the Oliver Family.
Hey everyone, if you guys get any sweeter, you just might have me believing there's hope for this crazy world of ours, and with a name like ELVIS, you can be as mischievous as you can manage! Thunder Bay is in Northern Ontario, about 45 minutes from one of the borders in Minnesota [U.S.], Minneapolis a 5 hour drive, Duluth Minn. a 3 hour drive. We sit right on the banks of Lake Superior, [one of the 5 Great Lakes]. This country of ours is so huge, that to fly from one end to the other, is further than flying from Canada to England! It costs more to phone Vancouver B.C. then it does to phone my Aunt in London,Eng. and by the way PETE, you've got a lovely smile [ahhhh]. People always say that the eyes are a window to the soul, not so, it's your smile! So now about those children of mine, I know they still need their Mom, they just don't think they do! [and I'm okay with that].And as I finish this rather long reply, I am totally amazed, that someone I've never met, has somehow found a straight line to my heart [sappy I know, but nonetheless, true]. For you KITTENCLAWS, I've sent in a couple of jokes {in that thread], I hope they give you, a reason to smile today. Maybe, just maybe, I might actually have a cooking question or two in the future, [it is Jamie's Forum after-all] but as for right now, I'm enjoying myself just chit-chatting the way we are :!:, Take Care of yourselves, because if you don't, I WILL. Until next time, I leave you, a very contented, Mrs.D.. Thank You..

Today's Members-Only Teleconference: SOLVING THE ANTHRAX CASE
Today, June 29, 2011, at 12:00 noon Pacific Time, Commonwealth Club President and CEO Dr. Gloria Duffy will lead a free, Club members-only teleconference with Pulitzer Prize-winning Los Angeles Times writer David Willman.
Willman has researched and written a fascinating study of the U.S. government scientist, Bruce Ivins, thought most likely to have unleashed the anthrax virus in the post-9/11 days of late 2001. Who was Ivins, how did the system of controls allow such a person unsupervised access to this deadly pathogen, how and why did he commit this act, and what can we learn from this experience about how to better protect ourselves from bioterrorism and domestic terrorism in general?
Commonwealth Club members were emailed information for calling into the teleconference. They can also submit questions to the speakers either by posting a comment to this blog post or, if they have Twitter accounts, by tweeting a question and including #cwclub in the tweet.

Bruce Bodaken, CEO of Blue Shield of California, addressed The Commonwealth Club of California on June 7 at a very important time for his organization. Blue Shield of California has been under the microscope of state authorities as its health-care costs and profits are examined. Bodaken used the opportunity to make a big announcement that his company would limit its profits to a certain amount, returning any profits above that amount back to the public.

Taking Down the Illicit Trade in Antiquities
By John Dangaran
On July 12, The Commonwealth Club of California will host two authors, both Pulitzer Prize finalists in investigative reporting for their work at the Los Angeles Times in 2006.
Jason Felch and Ralph Frammolino led the investigation that brought the trade of illicit objects to a grinding halt at American museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and, most famously, Los Angeles' J. Paul Getty Museum.
What was first thought to be a small, local issue in Los Angeles soon caught fire and began to spread around the globe, centering on the dealings of Getty curator Marion True. During True's tenure from 1986-2005, the Getty museum collected 46 pieces of ancient art that the Italian Ministry of Culture described as being illicitly excavated and smuggled out of the country.
Among the more noted items of the collection is the "Getty Bronze," otherwise known as the "Victorious Youth," a bronze statue pulled from international waters in 1964 by Italian fishermen. Also under scrutiny was the "Getty Goddess," thought to be Aphrodite or possibly even Persephone, which was uncovered in Sicily in 1970 and had served as the museum's main attraction for 22 years. In the wake of Felch and Frammolino's investigation, both have recently been returned to Italy along with 38 other items.
Since then, with the leading effort of the Getty Museum, the will for museums to buy and own art has largely declined in the hopes of helping prevent the looting of historical sites and the selling of artifacts on the black market. Through their negotiations with the Italian government, the Getty has helped start the trend of "long-term" loans on art and artifacts across the country. These loan programs will not only save the museums funds, but will also offer the opportunity for them to obtain items for their viewers that before would not have been thought possible.
Felch and Frammolino will speak July 12 about their investigative reporting as well as their new book Chasing Aphrodite: The Hunt for Looted Antiquities at the World's Richest Museum. Ticket information may be found on our website.

Remove portable tree stands from county-managed lands
Crow Wing County Land Services reminds hunters that all portable tree stands or free standing stands were to be removed from county-managed public lands by Jan. 1.
The Crow Wing County Hunting Stand Ordinance states that portable tree stands must be removed no later than one day following the close of Minnesota's big game hunting season, which ended Dec. 31. The ordinance also prohibits permanent hunting stands.
Portable tree stands or portable free standing stands not removed from county-managed public lands are considered abandoned personal property and will be removed pursuant to MN Statute 345.15 and the Crow Wing County Hunting Stand Ordinance.
"The county ordinance regulates the use of hunting stands on county-managed public lands.
The purpose of the ordinance is to minimize damage to trees, promote both public safety and equitable public use of the public land," said Kirk Titus, Land Services supervisor. "Individuals who do not remove their stands are essentially making a claim or taking ownership for future use of a particular piece of county land. This is a violation of the ordinance."
For more information on the county Hunting Stand Ordinance, contact Crow Wing County Land Services at 218-824-1115 or visit the Crow Wing County website at http://www.co.crow-wing.mn.us/DocumentCenter/Home/View/1191.

"This country matters to me," Justice O'Connor said, "to you, to all of us, and frankly to the world. In order to secure the future of our democracy, our citizens must be engaged in the running of it. And that engagement starts at an early age."
After she left the bench, Justice O'Connor founded iCivics, an interactive website that encourages young people to learn about civics. "Securing the future of our democracy requires teaching the next generation to understand and respect our system of governance, and then passing that knowledge and passion along to the next generation."
Additional speakers at the summit included Secretary of State Debra Bowen, Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, and CEO and Executive Director of the State Bar, Joseph Dunn, and a panel of leaders from education, labor, law, and business, all involved in passing the light of democracy on to the next generation.
Civic Learning Awards
A highlight of the summit was presentation of the new Civic Learning Awards. Designed to honor successful efforts to engage high school students in civic learning and single out models that can be replicated in other high schools, the award recognized 22 high schools for their efforts. Three schools—Alliance Judy Ivie Burton Technology Academy in Los Angeles, Golden Valley High School in Bakersfield, and San Marino High School in San Marino—received the Excellence Award, the highest award offered.
Diana Ledezma, a senior at Alliance Judy Ivie Burton Technology Academy, was chosen as the summit's student speaker. "From my experience," she said, "I learned that anyone can make a difference. I believe people should work for change and get involved, because one person doing something can inspire other people to do good. When people see someone trying to help, they want to help and get involved, and that's the feeling we need in every community."
The Power of Democracy
"Democracy is a use-it-or-lose-it proposition," Cantil-Sakauye said. "California is complicated, and there are challenges we must face every day to maintain a living, thriving democracy. Democracy is the key to perpetual freedom. In order to secure the rights to that future, we have to be civically engaged."

Jamie Magazine
Not sure if this is the best place to post this but I was hoping somebody could help me with the issues I've been having with delivery of the Jamie Magazine.
I purchased a years subscription about 3 weeks ago having seen an advert in a magazine I got with my Sunday paper as a Christmas present for my parents. I was assured on the phone that if I selected the Christmas issue this would be delivered well before Christmas. I duly selected this issue.
The free gift turned up about 10 days ago (delivered to the wrong address which was luckily my neighbour so he dropped it around). However, when the beginning of this week came with no magazine I decided to telephone to find out what was going on.
When I rang on Tuesday I was told that it had been despatched and I should expect it within a day or so. When nothing had arrived by Thursday I emailed as I was unable to phone but got no response.
Extremely concerned I rang again yesterday morning to be told that it can take 10 days for the magazine to be delivered but that the delivery company had told them that it would definitely be delivered Friday or Saturday.
Well it's now Saturday evening and still no magazine. I suppose it could turn up Monday but I'm not holding out any hope so much so that I've gone to the shops to buy a copy of the magazine so at least I can give this as a present.
When hunting around for this this evening I've found the terms and conditions on the Jamie Magazine website. Imagine my surprise when I note that it can take up to 8 WEEKS for the first issue to arrive. I wasn't told that when I ordered.
To say I am upset and angry is an understatement. A lot of thought went into this present and due to the inneptitude of the staff on the order line its going to be ruined.
All advice gratefully recieved here.

Re: Jamie Magazine
Welcome to the forum Dave
I ordered a subscription for one of my daughters which started with the Christmas Issue.
For her , the magazine arrived before the free gift .
If the company tell you that its been dispatched then I would imagine that it is somewhere within the postal system , being Christmas things do sometimes take ages and although the posties try to keep up ad deliver any backlog I am sure the extra volume of post that comes with all the extra parcels, packets and letter must be a huge strain to cope with.
My magazine turned up today .
One thing I am wondering ... is the address right as you said that the gift got delivered to a neighbour ?

Re: Jamie Magazine
Hi Dave
Although I can't give you any advice I can sympathise with you as I have had similar experiences with the magazine. I subscribed last year and reported receiving January 2013's edition as damaged on 2nd January. I didn't get a reply from the email and still haven't received a replacement magazine.
I also brought someone a gift subscription for Christmas and the gift card wasn't received until well after Christmas and I still haven't received the gift at all. It was a shame not to have anything to give to my relative on Christmas day.
Both experiences have frustrated me as emails went unanswered and phone calls have been met with really unhelpful responses from the "customer service" team.
I've found the whole thing really disappointing. I also brought a different relative a magazine subscription from a different company and the two experiences couldn't have been more different. I ordered at the same time, was sent the confirmation letter, gift card and complimentary first edition within 3 days of placing the order.
Let us know if your problem did get resolved!

Arsenal Football Club is saddened to receive the news that former player Derek Tapscott has died aged 75.
The Welshman only played 132 games for the Club but in that time he made a big impression. "Tappy", as he was affectionately known, was a fast, direct forward with an eye for goal, as his 68 strikes can testify.
Tapscott joined Arsenal in 1954 from Barry Town, although he travelled to London without knowing who he was signing for.
"When we reached Paddington, [Barry manager] Bill Jones took out two underground tickets to Highbury," said Tapscott later. "That's when I guessed what he was up to."
The fee was £2,000 plus the agreement of a friendly at the South Wales club. His initial wages were £11 in winter, £9 in summer with a bonus of £2 for a win and £1 for a draw. There was also the addition of a £10 signing-on fee. He made his debut for the Reserves against QPR a couple of days later. Powerful and incisive, Tapscott made an instant impact in the second-string, who drew 15-20,000 spectators to Highbury in those days.
Despite that, in his autobiography, Tapscott admitted to some nerves when an injury to Jimmy Logie gave him his first-team debut against Liverpool on April 10, 1954.
"I was sat on the bus next to Joe Mercer," he wrote. "The oldest and youngest together. He moved next to me deliberately so he could help calm my nerves.
"'Everyone on the bus has had to go through this to play in their first game,' Joe said. 'Don't worry about anything, just be yourself and do what comes naturally'."
Both men were to have memorable games. After 20 minutes, Tapscott converted a knockdown from Tommy Lawton to give Arsenal the lead. But just six minutes later Mercer, the inspirational leader of the side, fractured his right leg in two places. Despite that devastating blow, Tapscott added another in the second half as Arsenal won 3-0.
But the drama was not over. The following Monday, Tapscott was called in by Tom Whitaker. "I have some good news for you," said the Arsenal manager. "You have been selected in the Wales squad to play Austria on May 9."
Even Tapscott himself admitted to be "flabbergasted" by his first call-up. He joined Arsenal team-mates Dave Bowen, Wally Barnes and Jack Kelsey in representing the Principality but would only win 14 caps himself.
Tapscott was a regular for Arsenal in the next three seasons and top-scorer in two. He grabbed their fourth goal in the famous 5-4 defeat to Manchester United at Highbury on February 1, 1958 - the final match the Busby Babes played in England. However it would be Tapscott's penultimate first-team outing. Injuries hampered his progress and Vic Groves took his place. Tapscott was transferred to Cardiff City for £10,000 seven months later.
He retained his eye for goal, hitting 101 in 234 games for the Bluebirds. He also helped them win promotion to Division One in 1960 and competed in the European Cup Winners' Cup five years later. He ended his career at Newport and stayed in football after retirement by working for a boot manufacturer.
The last time modern Arsenal supporters got to see Tapscott was at Highbury's last match against Wigan Athletic in May 2006. Despite ill-health, he was determined to take part in the Final Salute and he walked the perimeter of the pitch as one of the Club's Legends. It was a fitting send-off for a true Arsenal man.
The thoughts and condolences of everyone at Arsenal Football Club are with his family at this time.
Richard Clarke
Richard Clarke adds: "As part of the Final Salute celebrations, I had the privilege of visiting "Tappy" at his South Wales home for a video interview. His career with Arsenal was relatively short but you could not have met a player more proud to have worn the famous red and white shirt. The enthusiasm he displayed on the pitch remained and, interview over, he spent more than an hour showing us memorabilia of his playing days.
It was a treasure trove, including immaculately-preserved contracts, letters, booklets and documents from his time at Highbury. Just 18 months before he passed away he lent some of these to the Arsenal Museum.
His walk round Highbury at the Final Salute game was tough for him but Tappy was always going to manage it. He was a proud Welshman but you sensed his footballing heart lay in London N5.
The tell-tale sign comes in the final words of his autobiography.
"When I was playing I was paid for doing something I enjoyed. I would have played for nothing," he wrote. "For someone coming from a family of 16 children I have been lucky to have had the opportunity to play at the highest level with, and against, the greatest players in the country.
"I have had a good life since taking that train ride to London with Bill Jones 50 years ago."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source


text: This next portion of material—Chapters 6, 7 and 15—dives into nutrition basics and nutritional programming. Now, it's important to keep in mind a Health Coach's Scope of Practice, so we don't overstep our boundaries, but the nutrition information that we provide is crucial to their success! You may be wondering why, if you can't tell your clients what to eat, it is important to learn about nutrition. Well, there are so many other aspects of nutrition that we can educate our clients on in regards to their behavior, and we can provide them with the tools to make more healthful food choices, whether they are cooking at home or eating on the go. When it comes to nutrition, it's not always what a client eats that is going to affect his or her weight (although it can be), but rather the amounts that are being consumed. Correcting the portion distortion we have as Americans is a HUGE issue (pun intended), and so many times we just have no idea what a "serving size" actually is. As a Health Coach, it's our responsibility to educate our clients on these important concepts so they can understand how to create a caloric deficit with physical activities and mild caloric restrictions to achieve their weight-loss goals. One of the biggest challenges Health Coaches face is educating clients about how to adapt a more healthful, mindful diet WITHOUT actually telling them what to eat or what not to eat. The ways we accomplish this are by exploring what their typical diet might look like, identifying any negative dietary trends (i.e., skipping breakfast, excessive snacking, etc.) and educating them on healthy, accessible meals and meal-preparation options. Our main focus is to shift our clients' dietary focus to eating for nourishment to best fuel their bodies. Within section, I highly recommend reading and working through the "Expand Your Knowledge" and "Think It Through" sections. As a Health Coach, people are going to look to you to for answers about common myths and mistakes when it comes to diet. A perfect example of this is found in Chapter 6 (page 130), which talks about high-protein diets. This is a common concern, and many of the fad-diets that are out right now preach choosing only low-carb, high-protein calorie sources. It's essential that you know how and why these different diets can affect the body, both positively and negatively.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Peckish aka Peggi
I shop and buy where ever i find fabric I like, is good quality, and can afford. My family can't tell where it came from after the quilt is made. Some of my best quilts have thrift store fabric in them.
Theres nothing wrong with me a little chocolate won't fix.
I have made beautiful quilts from JoAnn's fabrics, and they have held up well over time. I don't shop there for fabric anymore -- my tastes have changed -- but I don't regret starting there.
I love our JoAnns-the only complaint I have is that we get all these coupons and can't use most of them because everything is on sale-and I try to use them on non-sale items but can't see buying something I already have a lot of just to use the coupon.
I am a former manager of a LQS and you are right, there is an attitude of snobbiness. Even as a manager I had to reject some fabrics because they were not to "our stardards".
I believe that fabrics have a trickle down system. New fabrics that are shown at Quilt Market by vendors are first sold to LQS, overstock is then sold to chains, JoAnns, Warmat etc. That does not mean that the fabrics are inferior they are just a little dated.
You can get the same battings, muslins, basics at JoAnns that you get at the LQS and at a better price..
I agree with you, and have always felt that way. I have found some of the fabrics that I see in Walmart or Joanns in the LQS. In general, what you said about the 'feel' of the fabric is the best indicator of the quality of the fabric.
In any event, I think the maxim with regard to buying fabric should be: "Buy the best you can afford." If I can only afford sale fabric, Walmart fabric or Joann fabric, so be it.
I'm new to quilting, so I don't know what "good" or "bad fabric is. I just bought some fabric @ Joann's and they had a 30% off sale, then I had a coupon for 25% off and I got to use that on everything I purchased, including what was on sale. I've already made a small quilt top with the fabric and it seemed OK. Can someone tell me the difference between good and bad fabric? Thanks.
Edit: I found the "spinoff" thread - I'll follow that.

Fabric quality is relative. Considering that some of Gee's Bend Quilts have been made with recycled clothing and donated corduroy fabric, yet appreciated enough to be displayed in museums and national exhibitions should put some perspective on the subject of quality vs appeal. Snobbery has no positive effect on artistry.
Some of the worst fabric I ever bought came from LQS and was a well-known name brand. I just buy what I like and if it feels good. I don't allow the quilt police, I do not quilt to please them, I quilt to please me!

What a difference a year makes: The median price of a single-family home in Marin came close to the $1 million mark in April at $931,700, a 23 percent jump from April 2012, according to the Marin County Assessor's Office.
A total of 258 single-family home sales were recorded in Marin last month, up 21 percent from 213 a year ago, the assessor's office reported.
Sixty-six condominiums sold in April 2013, up from 57 in April 2012, and the median condo price increased to $413,000 from $301,500 in April 2012.
Sales have gone up over the past four months. In January 2013 the assessor recorded 120 sales, then 135 in February, 218 in March and now 258.
Experts agree the real estate scene is red-hot these days, but dismissed the idea that the market might be shaping up for another bubble like the one that popped so painfully in 2008.
"One of our listings was on the market six days and had 21 offers," said Peter Richmond, an agent with Pacific Union International in Mill Valley. "That's the way it's going these days, although that's an extreme. You are seeing a lot of multiple offers these days."
But, he said, "I don't see a bubble. Speaking as a former banker of 25 years' standing, I think they (lenders) are being more bankerish. They are doing what they should have done prior to the collapse — making loans with attention to creditworthiness."
The 2008 collapse happened to a great extent because "a lot of lenders were throwing money at people who didn't really qualify for loans. We used to joke that if you could fog a mirror, you could get a loan," Richmond said.
Paul Cingolani, a real estate investment broker with Bradley Real Estate in Mill Valley, concurred.
"Is there a bubble? I don't see it that way. As fewer people are in distress and once again have equity and the ability to sell their homes without a loss, inventory will rise," Cingolani said.
He was referring to the fact that for more than 15 months there has been a shortage of homes on the market. It is one of the factors that has given rise to the hot market and multiple bid situation.
The hot market does harken back to the bubble days in some ways, however.
"There's much more to the story than multiple offers and inventory," Cingolani said. "Those of us who are winning out on the bids can't find inspectors to come and do inspections because the market is so busy. It's (the market) gobbling up inspectors and contractors. Finding good contractors is very challenging."
Prices are rising not only because of the dearth of inventory, Cingolani noted. There are fewer sales of foreclosed homes, which sell for rock-bottom prices.
Along those lines, "More sales in the high-end market are driving the median price up as well," said Stephanie Pratt, a real estate aGent with First Marin Realty in Mill Valley.
"We're getting a few more listings (on the market), but not enough, and especially not in the under $800,000 range," said Jill Hill, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker in Greenbrae. "We desperately need listings between $600,000 and $800,000. We're getting a lot of $1.5 million to $2.5 million listings.
"But it's been hard on the first-time buyers because the homes that are for sale in their range have multiple offers, not just two or three but sometimes eight or 10 or 12. That makes it hard for them to compete," Hill said.
"I just wrote an all-cash offer and was outbid by someone who came in $100,000 over (the asking price)," Pratt said. While this is a good time to buy, with interest rates still unusually low, the agent said, "It's a seller's market. It's a good time to sell."

text: Need for bottle feeding arise for infant depend on mother. Working mother needs to bottle feed her baby earlier than non-working mother. There are various reasons that mother needs to bottle feed her baby earlier. Many women breast-feed their baby for more than one year. It depends on availability of mother and also milk production of mother. With breast feeding many women give bottle feeding to their baby. It is good practice to make your baby habituated with bottle feeding after six months. This is because once infant get familiar with difference between mother's milk and formula feeding, they refuse to accept bottle feeding. In such case it is very difficult for mother to go outside for any work and need to more attentive towards her infant's need.

Wall Street: Still Getting Its House in Order
A trio of stories today sum up the different ways in which Wall Street's titans are coming to terms with the post-financial crisis world.
First up is Bloomberg's story on the large number of layoffs set to hit the big banks in the months ahead:
Even after the industry posted its best results since 2006, the six largest U.S. banks announced plans in the first three months of this year to eliminate about 21,000 positions, or 1.8 percent of their combined workforce, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's the most since 2011's third quarter. JPMorgan Chase (JPM), whose 259,000 people produced three straight years of record profit, topped the list with 17,000 reductions scheduled by the end of 2014.
Banks are under pressure to keep profit climbing amid weak revenue growth, and employees are among the biggest expenses after interest costs. The most vulnerable people work in units where demand is waning such as mortgage foreclosures. Their departures would come on top of 320,000 jobs culled from U.S. financial companies in the past five years, the data show.
Meanwhile, over at Citigroup (C), some of the layoffs are hitting the executive suites in an attempt to streamline the unwieldy corporate structure:
Citigroup is eliminating two senior positions in its Institutional Clients Group as part of an effort to streamline the company's management ranks, according to a person familiar with the plan.
The move is the first reorganization of the group since James Forese was named chief executive of the unit earlier this year...
[New CEO] Michael Corbat...is trying to simplify Citigroup's managerial and operational structure.
Also today, WSJ reports on Morgan Stanley's (MS) attempts to not have to pay a former employee:
Goldman had fired the trader, Matthew Taylor, in December 2007 for hiding an $8.3 billion futures bet from his former bosses. Morgan Stanley, which hired him only a few months later, now aims to withhold $100,000 to $200,000 in deferred compensation on grounds he misrepresented the circumstances of his exit from Goldman, the people said.
The move highlights one of the tougher hiring tasks on Wall Street: unearthing alleged past misdeeds or missteps of potential employees—who often put millions of dollars of a firm's own money at risk. And as Mr. Taylor's case shows, warning signs can be overtaken by a firm's desire to hire a potential money-maker...
Morgan Stanley and other securities firms have deferred bigger chunks of employee pay in recent years to reduce traders' incentive to take on risky bets that might blow a hole in the firm's finances later. Deferred pay can run into the millions of dollars.
Cutting headcount, making managers more accountable and clawbacks/deferred comp are all to be applauded. But nearly five years on from the financial crisis we're still faced with the problem of too-big-to-fail. The banks, it seems, are inching towards getting themselves out of the mess, though a recent optimistic take by Simon Johnson suggests our politicians may also be moving in that direction:
Six banks face the prospect of meaningful constraints on their size: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. They are fighting back with lobbying dollars in the usual fashion – but in the last electoral cycle they went heavily for Mitt Romney (not elected) and against Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown for the Senate (both elected), so this element of their strategy is hardly prospering.
The question is whether lawmakers, regulators and the banks themselves can get Wall Street's house in order before the next crisis hits.

We Really Do Put the Whole Banana In!
Mark on Ladyboy fragrance:
"The banana isn't some kind of a joke. The finished scent on the skin is sophisticated and contemporary in my opinion. Ladyboy is an intriguing blend where the combination of seaweed and violets creates a blend that - instead of shocking or disturbing - just smells as if it it's about to become the fragrance that everyone's wearing."

Santorum: Obama motivated by a "different theology"
posted at 10:30 am on February 19, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Normally, I would advise presidential candidates to avoid getting caught in arguments over the relative merits of the faith of their opponents. Americans typically don't respond well to politicians claiming that they have a superior theology, especially when it comes to translating that into public policy. In this case, though, Rick Santorum didn't start that fight yesterday in Ohio:
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum challenged President Barack Obama's Christian beliefs on Saturday, saying White House policies were motivated by a "different theology."
A devout Roman Catholic who has risen to the top of Republican polls in recent days, Santorum said the Obama administration had failed to prevent gas prices rising and was using "political science" in the debate about climate change.
Obama's agenda is "not about you. It's not about your quality of life. It's not about your jobs. It's about some phony ideal. Some phony theology. Oh, not a theology based on the Bible. A different theology," Santorum told supporters of the conservative Tea Party movement at a Columbus hotel.
Santorum's attack didn't just come out of the blue. And it wasn't Santorum who proclaimed his theology in support of his own policy choices, either. That honor goes to Barack Obama — twice. Let's not forget this moment from earlier this month at a prayer-breakfast event, when Obama told the nation that Christian theology calls for him to confiscate more from higher-income earners:
And when I talk about shared responsibility, it's because I genuinely believe that in a time when many folks are struggling, at a time when we have enormous deficits, it's hard for me to ask seniors on a fixed income, or young people with student loans, or middle-class families who can barely pay the bills to shoulder the burden alone. And I think to myself, if I'm willing to give something up as somebody who's been extraordinarily blessed, and give up some of the tax breaks that I enjoy, I actually think that's going to make economic sense.
But for me as a Christian, it also coincides with Jesus's teaching that "for unto whom much is given, much shall be required." It mirrors the Islamic belief that those who've been blessed have an obligation to use those blessings to help others, or the Jewish doctrine of moderation and consideration for others.
On top of that, we have the new spectacle of Obama telling churches through the new HHS mandate that his interpretation of religious theology is that faith only takes place in "houses of worship," and that works are mere businesses under federal jurisdiction for the purpose of forcing churches to pay for contraception and abortifacients that violate their religious doctrine. That is the "different theology" to which Santorum refers, and his remarks are clearly in response to Obama's own efforts to justify his policy decisions under the cloak of a strange and self-serving interpretation of Christian teachings.
Is this wise politics? Perhaps not; most people don't care to get religion mixed up in their politics, and Obama took some heat for his tax-hike rationalizations on the basis of Christianity for that reason. Santorum's well-known affiliation with religious conservatives risks him being pigeonholed even further in a debate like this. But Obama started this argument twice in the past three weeks, and to blame Santorum for pushing back seems a little odd.
Update: Commenter Reliapundit notes that there are some arguments, though true, that should be made through surrogates and not by the candidates themselves — and that this is one of those. It's not a bad point, perhaps especially for Santorum. Also, some argue that this is a distraction from the main economic issues of the campaign, but as it applies to Obama's "theology" on taxes and ObamaCare mandates, that's not entirely true. And if the economy heats up a little bit between now and the election, we will need the Republican nominee to be arguing on both how both represent an unconscionable power grab, and not merely how they both damage the economy.

Disney drops bid to trademark Day of Dead name
SANTA ANA, Calif. - Disney Enterprises has dropped an effort to trademark "Dia de los Muertos," the name of the traditional "Day of the Dead" holiday celebrated by millions in Mexico and the U.S.
The Orange County Register says the company announced Tuesday it's abandoning the effort just a week after submitting its request to U.S. officials. The request sparked criticism that Disney was culturally insensitive.
Disney hoped to secure name rights for merchandise as it partners with Pixar to create an animated movie inspired by the holiday.
A studio statement says the filing was withdrawn because the movie name has changed.
Two years ago, Disney tried to trademark the name "SEAL Team 6" days after the Navy team killed Osama bin Laden. After fierce criticism, Disney withdrew the application.

Happy Comic Release Day! Welcome to another installment of GeekMom Comic Book Corner, where we recap our adventures in comics for the week.
Dakster Sullivan – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vol. 2: Enemies Old, Enemies New
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 2: Enemies Old, Enemies New is the second volume of the newest TMNT series. Since the only thing I know about their history is what I've seen in the cartoon series, I've been a little shocked at the story so far.
I'm a child of 1985. With that being said, I've grown up thinking that the turtles became the TMNT from the ooze and being at the right place at the right time. This series is telling a very different tale. I don't want to spoil to much, but let's just say even they are having a hard time believing Master Splinter on this one.
The only villain from the cartoon series I have met so far and recognize is Krang. It appears there is something going on with him and Baxter, but at the risk of spoiling anything for you, I'll skip what it is.
Casey and April are starting to get a friendship going at school. Casey is teaching April self-defense in exchange for her tutoring him in a few of his classes. I think they are going to make a great team in the upcoming issues. It will be interesting to see if she uses any of her new fighting skills to help out the TMNT.
Due to a little violence in the beginning that might be to graphic for younger readers, I would recommend this title for anyone aged ten and up.

Batman: Earth One is a reboot of the Batman comic (yes, we're never tired of origin stories!). Apparently, making something more "modern" and "real" means taking all the fun out of it. The characters are all there, but all the color has been sucked out of them. Gotham was always dark, but could anyone make a more horrible city than this?
Oh wait, the big-breasted women in the party ogling Bruce Wayne had colorful dresses, excuse me.

I'm looking at hand-powered radial extractors, which seem to start in the $500 range give or take. Options are:
Dadant's Ranger: 6 mediums, 3 deeps tangentially only with additional basket, no stand, $466
Brushy: 9-frame, 3 deeps tangentially with included basket, stand presumably included, $425
Mann Lake 18/9: 18 mediums or nine deeps no modification needed, stand included, $500
Dadant's Ranger, why bother, because:
Brushy 9, more affordable with greater capacity than the Ranger, but:
for only $75 bucks you get double the capacity with the Mann Lake model over the Brushy model (more'n triple-capacity for only $44 more than with the Ranger).
Has anyone actively compared these? Wish I could see them all side by side. Am I missing something?

COPS Monitoring to Support Paradox, Control4
COPS Monitoring has added full IP, GSM and GPRS monitoring for Paradox security panels with full Control4 compatibility.
January 28, 2014
WILLIAMSTOWN, N.J. — COPS Monitoring is now offering IP, GSM, and GPRS monitoring for the full line of security and integrated access control products and support for interactive services from Paradox. The Paradox EVO 192 panel is fully supported by Control4.
"We continually look for ways to support our dealer base by offering leading edge technology and we are pleased to add the Paradox IP receivers to our portfolio of services," says Jim McMullen, president and COO of COPS Monitoring. "For backup and added reliability, dual Paradox IPR512 receivers have been deployed in our New Jersey and Texas central stations on different IP addresses. Both receivers are online and ready to receive live alarm traffic. As an added benefit, we are also pleased to announce that our dealers will enjoy discounted pricing on Paradox equipment through our exclusive relationship with the SS&Si Dealer Network."
"Our technology, ease of installation, advanced software, sleek design, and end user interface really set us apart from competitors who offer systems at a much higher price," says Jon Butler, vice president of sales for Paradox's U.S. master distributor. "For instance, not only does our EVO 192 panel integrate security and access control, it is also fully supported by the Control4 automation platform. Our online access and iParadox app offer full remote administration and give users the ability to do everything from controlling their systems to adding and removing panel users right from their computer, tablet, or smartphone. Currently, nobody else offers that functionality from tablet or smartphone app."
"The U.S., by far is our smallest market. However, through strong relationships like the one we have with COPS Monitoring and the SS&Si Dealer Network, we're eager to show the US market what the rest of the world has known for the past 25 years," adds Butler.
