Now let me be the first to say this...not really surprised. Mercury hasn't really produced any buzz in years and when Ford and Lincoln started to push new vehicles and new technology...Mercury was silent. Now some may blame Ford for not doing anything while others really don't care. My point is simple, Mercury will start whining down and I don't think there are any who are going to miss it.FoMoCo executives are now preparing to kill Mercury. According to sources familiar with the plans, the Dearborn automaker's top executives are currently working on a proposal to kill Mercury that will be presented to directors in July.Mercury sales have fallen 74 percent since 2000 and FoMoCo is not planning any new vehicles for the brand, which was created in 1939 by Edsel Ford, the son of founder Henry Ford.Any thoughts??Source: egmcartech

Not many are going to miss it, other than Lincoln-Mercury dealers (Mercury pays their bills).I wont miss it... keep up the good work Ford
I'd better keep my Grand Marquis in excellent shape!
Long live American V-8, rearwheel drive, front bench seats, column shifter beauties!
I'm not going to miss it much, although I have been interested in a number of Mercury's past products.For some reason, I have a real fetish for the old ASC/McLaren Capri coupes. Not those horrid roadsters, but the tarted-up coupes. Hey, if you're going to own a Fox-body 'Stang, you may as well go obscure...
I won't miss the Mercury brand as it stands now, all of it's products are slightly more luxurious Ford products. Some of Mercury's old products were really cool, but the brand has lived past its usefulness for Ford.
ionosphere:I'd better keep my Grand Marquis in excellent shape!Actually for those that are collectors out there this would definitely be the time to keep a Mercury. In time a Mercury vehicle will become rare and price will definitely be high.

Thank you Ford. Killing the Mercury brand will enable you to Focus on your core product line. One thing, Ford; you have another big distraction. It's called Lincoln.Let's get real here Ford because I like you. I like the way you cured your management woes by going outside the firm for leadership. I love the fact that you are the only U. S. auto company to not require my tax money for survival. I think you are starting to make the right branding moves but there's that Lincoln cloud over your head. What are you going to do about it? Your Lincoln brand manager has given up the quest to challenge the world's best luxury cars so just what is it you are trying to sell?Take this to heart, Ford. Nobody is going to be willing to pay a premium for a tarted out, gussied up Ford with a Lincoln badge plastered on it. Supporting two dealership networks selling the same cars cannot be considered intelligent marketing in the 21st century. No-one in the automotive press and no potential customer is holding their breath waiting for the next yet-to-be introduced Lincoln. So, Ford, if you are not willing to develop true product differentiation between your Ford branded cars and your Lincoln branded cars, you might as well save billions of dollars over the next decade by killing the Lincoln brand now rather than later.By true product differentiation, I mean FWD for Ford products and RWD drive for Lincoln products. This may go against the company bean-counters' grain but you are a car company, not a bean-counting company. Nissan introduced product differentiation with their Infiniti brand and Toyota did it with their Lexus brand and those were totally new brands. You won't like this Ford but GM is doing it too, with their Cadillac brand. Here's how you can do it with Lincoln.You have a RWD chassis for the Mustang. You put a 19th century Hotchkiss (solid) rear axle to appease the Mustang's hot-rod constituency but that chassis was designed for a RWD/IRS configuration. Stretch that chassis, install the IRS and build a four door sports sedan under the Lincoln brand. If that sounds like the Lincoln LS, that's a good thing because LS owners love their cars but please drop the alphabet soup designations and revive the vaunted Lincoln names. Doing this will give you the time to develop a 21st century RWD chassis to fill out the Lincoln model lineup. Remember, Ford, you developed that nice aluminum chassis for the Jaguar XJ so I know you have it in you.Ford, you will have to give up your addiction to fleet car sales and ladder frame constructed cars eventually so do it now. Replace the Town Car with a large RWD/IRS sports/luxury sedan and make Lincoln relevant again. Also, develop a lightweight, efficient, small displacement V-8 engine and advanced hybrid technology for Lincoln and make it the engineering leader of U. S. carmakers. While you are at it, Ford, build a refined and permanent 2 seat Corvette/Viper competitor and make it a Lincoln. Give people under retirement age a reason to walk into a Lincoln showroom.Here's the lineup:Lincoln Zephyr (5-series/E-Class competitor) Mark Z; a 2-door Coupe versionLincoln Continental (7-Series/S-class competitor)Lincoln ??? (2-seat Sport/GT)If you have to continue selling those re-branded Ford SUVs and crossovers, that is a reasonable marketing decision.As I said, Ford, I'm rooting for you. I like what you are doing. You just haven't gone far enough, in my opinion, to rationalize your offerings to the buying public. Getting rid of Mercury is a first step. Your next step with Lincoln will be a mis-step if it is not a bold step.Thanks for listening, Ford. You are listening, aren't you?
This has been rumored for years, so it's no big surprise if it does happen. The fact that the success of the 2005 retro-Mustang didn't generate even a concept for a retro-Cougar should have been a tipoff to even the least serious car buff. It's a damn shame. Oh well, maybe my 2004 Marauder will become a collector item now.

Any ideas on marking hives for ID and ownership???
I would love a system that would number and one that can be changed quickly to sequential numbers.
I am thinking that a wood burning system is out because it would be too slow in changing form say 56 to 57, etc.

CLABORN1960~~Welcome to the CorvetteActionCenter~~
Back in the dark ages, The Second NEW Corvette I owned was a 1984 with the 4-speed 3-over. It was one of the first 300 made and had the overdrive button (switch) in the console. The car was very quick and worked great until I started autocross racing. By the end of the summer of '84 the trans had been rebuilt once and needed another by winter. From my experience it did not hold up too well being pushed.
The car got great milage on the highway in OverDrive. The OverDrive worked in 2nd, 3rd and 4th, thus the 4-speed 3-over. I haven't heard much good about them if you're a heavy footed gear jamming type driver, but most cars won't hold up to a lot of abuse either
I'm sure you'll receive several opinions on this subject
Have you driven one? That might help answer some of your questions or concerns. Be sure to get a maintenance history of they car you think of buying, IMHO and be sure to ask Lots of Questions.
Good Luck

Malar Cheek Implants
Doctor Answers 6
Malar Cheek Implants
Web reference: http://www.beverlyhills-plasticsurgery.com/cheek-augmentation/
Malar implants for cheek augmentation
Web reference: http://chincheekimplantsseattle.com
The aesthetics of cheek enlargement.
People with flat cheeks lack a healthy, robust appearance. In addition, flat cheeks are not a good foundation to support the soft tissues of the mid cheek, which, as a result tend to sag prematurely. Eyelid bags appear prematurely in flat cheek people, as seen in young Asian faces.
The quality of result obtained with cheek augmentation is in direct proportion to the experience of the surgeon with this operation and his 'aesthetic eye'. While computer simulation preoperative planning can be used, in practice it is much more useful for the patient and surgeon to do a 'fluid test'. This is effectively a dress rehearsal done in the office with you sitting down holding a mirror, while the surgeon gently injects dilute local anaethetic fluid into the correct places and with the correct amounts to simulate the effect of the implant, all along with your guidance and approval.
The fluid lasts only a few hours, and as it isn't permanent you can try out a larger size. If you don't like the look you are not stuck with it. During this trial process the surgeon notes the volumes used in different parts of the cheek and the shape required for the surgery.
There are several types of implant material premade in the factory, of different shapes. Personally, I prefer individual implants that are made of coral granules as there is no reaction or infection risk with this material. The shape and size of the implant is made by the surgeon according to the fluid test plan. The coral, chosen because it is structurally identical to facial bone. It becomes fixed in place with fibrous tissue initially and progressively the cheek bone grows into the implant so that the coral implant becomes part of the person and avoids the long term potential for problems that may be seen with silicone implants.
Depending on your age, a cheek lift may be required at the same time if the cheek has already dropped. Cheek implants themselves do not lift the cheek and it does not look attractive having a sagging cheek hanging off a prominent cheekbone.

Where I stayed
Couchsurfed with Erin Farb
I promised my host I would ring her, I have a USA phone card and all I need is a pay phone. There are none in 4 fast food joints that we stop at on the way on this warm Sunday afternoon. I try a gas station, the owners are humble enough to let me use their personal landline phone. I still use my phone card as it's a free call, so cool of them to allow me into their back office to use a phone. Erin picks up and is unsure where the address of the greyhound is. I thought it would be easier for her to find out (later transpires she has no Internet) so I go back to a fast food joint that offers free wifi, find the address of the Denver greyhound stop and text it to Erin.
The road from Oklahoma to Denver was awesome and spectacular! I enjoyed peering out of my greyhound bus window, I'm still so thankful to Claire for sorting me out some music for my new itouch.
Later that evening, I arrive late into Denver. Within five minutes of waiting outside, I'm offered various types of drugs and am having my arm twisted into taking a couple of guys for a beer. I decide to call Erin, she received no text! Oh man, damn cell phone! Within 15 minutes she is outside in her car and whisks me away from a night of pain killers and alcohol abuse! I guess this would be one bus station where I wouldn't be prepared to spend the night.
Erin lives slightly south of the city, a beautiful neighbourhood and lives in a house with 4 apartments. She also has two cats, big Mr T and petite little Cleo, they both warm to the ginger gringo.
We stay up for a couple of hours chatting before Erin heads to bed and I head to couch. Unaware, but my legs would infact be laying on the exact spot where Mr T tends to nap/sleep. Everytime I woke in the night, he was sat on me, but once he realised I was awake, would jump off as if he was not there, cheeky little monkey. The sofa was very comfy and I slept like a baby!

Temperature 24C
Day 135 May 18th - The funny thing with a cat sleeping on you all night, is that you think you're having a good sleep, but I end up waking exhausted. I guess I couldn't roll and at one point, looked above my head to see the other cat, Cleo, sitting on the arm rest above my head. Good job that I love pets!
Erin makes me breakfast, I have oatmeal with banana, and a couple cups of fresh brewed coffee, delicious.
We head out to downtown Denver. park north of the South Platte River and walk south along 16th street Mall, almost as far as capital hill. We pass many interesting buildings and are stopped by some people collecting donations for children in Suriname. The young lady seems very surprised when I say I've been there and know where it is. As we donate, she rudely stops another passer by and completely stops telling us about the details of what she was collecting for. As we get to the end of 16th st Mall, the heavens open. Apparently, it never rains in Denver. It hasn't rained all year, but of course, when British man turns up, he brings the British weather. We try to head back to the car, after catching a free bus, but we were getting soaked, so we fell into Anthony's pizza place and grabbed a beer. They were showing ESPN, but sadly, a very moving and sad story about Wes Leonard, a young basketball player in Michigan, who after scoring a winning overtime shot, collapsed and died moments later on the court. The piece by ESPN followed the team and they continued on a winning run, dedicating it to Wes. Oh man, not the kind of story you want to hear when you're getting to know someone, but google it, read about it, it's so very sad.
We hung in this pizza shop, nursing a beer for about two hours, till we braved the rain, to run back to Erins car and go drive to meet her boyfriend Nathan at the Buffalo pastry shop. Such a funky little place, selling sweet and savoury pastries. We have lunch there. Very tasty!
We leave and head over to Nathans apartment, partly to put mine and Erins clothes in the dryer, but also to pick a few things up for a trip to the mountains. At Nathans place, which is full of amusing artwork, posters, signs etc, I meet Nathans room mate Josh, a big tall lanky guy with a great sense of humour. We hang there a while, put back on our dry clothes and set off for a little trip to the mountains.
We drive to the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre. The mountains views are breath taking, very easy on the eye, sadly, it was absolutely tipping it down with rain. Even Nathan couldn't believe the bad luck I was having with the weather in Denver. With the bad weather, driving conditions got worse as well and it wasn't long before we were driving through ice and snow. We passed through a couple of small towns before we did a loop and headed to the Amphitheatre.
We parked up and headed to the Amphitheatre, what a site, is set between 400ft high red sandstone rocks. The acoustics are so good that many bands record live albums here. I check the schedule and see the Kings of Leon are playing are the end of August, also I see Death Cab Cutie and the Flaming lips. Other bands don't stand out for me, but the place sits 9000 people and I imagine some amazing shows. If only I could be there for the end of August.
The weather continues to be poor, so we leave the mountains and return to Denver. We pick up Josh and head to a bar that every week has a $5 wing night! As many wings as you can stomach for $5! We're fortunate to find a table as the place is super packed! At the same time, the Bulls are playing the Heat and the game has just started! Josh and Nathan went to college in Illinois and are following the Bulls. Me too. My brother and I saw the Bulls in November, so since the Celtics lost to the Heat, I've been following the Bulls. The wings were amazing, I went for some spicy hot ones and some BBQ ones, you get a basket of 6 and the baskets keep coming out until you say no more. I had three baskets!
Once we were all winged out, we headed over to a student area of the city for a trivia night. We met another one of Erins friends called Mike and settled in for a good ten rounds of trivia. It was a really fun night, reminded me so much of spending Tuesday nights in Inwood with Di, Josh and Monica. Such fun nights! Out of 15 teams we came 2nd! We received a $15 voucher. As an example of one of the questions 'Before the Rush hour series, name Chris Tuckers last 5 movies where he played a named character?. We got 4 out of 5, I knew Jackie Brown was his last, do you know the other 4? Sadly, we couldn't use the $15 that night, but I'm sure Erin and her friends enjoyed spending it the next Trivia night!
After a long day and my feet still feeling a little wet, we call it a day, I had such fun hanging out with Erin and her friends, a great experience of this awesome city of Denver.
Back on the couch, I share with Mr T again!
Miles walked 1.32
Temp 15C
Day 136 May 19th - I wake very tired again. Erin cooks us eggs and we have a lazy morning, chatting, playing with the cats. Erin has some work to do and I have some couch surfing issues to iron out. So we head to a very cool coffee shop near by and sit there for a few hours. My host in Seattle has pulled out and I'm struggling for a couch in Salt Lake City. I've learned that asking young people tends to bite you in the butt, they are flakey and pull out at the last minute.
We walk back to Erins for lunch and then, seeing as it was still raining, go to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Not my usual kind of afternoon activity, but the rain was constant and the museum has some pretty cool exhibitions going on. The first we looked at was a space and earth exhibition. They had this cool large disc, that was similar to google maps, but from above. Spin the disc and it zoomed in or out on the world. I showed Erin where the Isle of Wight was, but couldn't get close enough to show her my mums house! There were various things to play with, sadly, being a big kid, the little kids were dominating all the activities.
We find a cool infa red camera that shows your body heat. The random purple patches on my jacket is rain water, I don't have crazy purple spots!
We walk off to a human biology base camp. It measures your height, blood pressure, tracks your walk and all sorts of other things. There was a special experimental area where one could undertake experiments. Erin and I undertook one I did at high school, checking out a skin cell from inside your mouth. They even supplied dye to highlight the different areas of the cell. I had more fun wearing a lab coat and wearing purple gloves, which Erin got to keep!!
We left the science museum, after being kindly asked by a lady with a gun that the museum is closing. OK, fair enough!
We head back to Erins for a few moments before we head near that state capitol to pick up Erins friend Geoff. He lives in a very random apartment, works random hours, was a little quiet and shy but ended up being good company. We headed far out of town for some Pho. Tasty noodle and veg broth, apparently, I ate enough for two meals, but it was very tasty and very spicy!
We were still in the mood for hanging out so we went to a funky college coffee shop, near the trivia night place and had a coffee and I got some good news from someone called Mary in Seattle who was prepared to host me. Phew! I stupidly chose to visit Seattle over Memorial weekend, and roughly 12 couchsurfers had already said they were busy.
We drive Geoff back to his place and head back to Erins. We stay up late chatting again. Erin was a wonderful host. We enjoyed long, interesting and deep conversations over the three days I stayed. She has a great partner in Nathan and they are considering starting a family very soon. She will make a wonderful mum and I really hope to see her again in the future. For now, she's soon off to Hawaii for a long holiday, lucky Erin and Nathan!!
Mr T made no effort to be subtle this night, he joined me on the sofa as I went to couch.
Miles walked 0.87
Temp 16C
Day 137 May 20th - Erin is so great, she even gets up early to drive me to the bus station. She herself, was driving upstate to go see some friends. We chat over coffee and she drops me off at the bus station. I have a 12 hour trip to Salt Lake City, but no couch to surf on, so I have found a cheap hostel for a couple of nights. The best thing, my greyhound bus for the next 12 hours has wifi!

SDCC 2015 Friday
On Friday I went to two panels, but mostly walked around the con finding friends and talking with them. In the evening I went to the Eisner Awards. I see all the pictures I took are of artists, writers, panelists and friends, I neglected to get any of the con at large, so I'll have to do more of that today.
The first panel was one of several focused on Will Eisner, and it was moderated by Paul Levitz, above. Paul has written a book coming out from Abrams in the fall, "Will Eisner, Champion of the Graphic Novel," for which I did chapter heading illustrations, and I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Other panelists were Jeff Smith, of BONE fame…
…cartoonist Sergio Aragones…
…Eisner's friend, publisher and agent, Denis Kitchen…
…and former Marvel editor Danny Fingeroth. All told of their discovering Will's work on THE SPIRIT or in his pioneering graphic novels (in Sergio's case in the 1940s in Mexico), how it impacted their own work, told stories about Will the man and creator, and considered Will's place in comics history, which is an important one. Great panel.
Back on the Con floor I talked to Mark Wheatley, who was about to announce a new project he's involved in, a multi-media theatrical show, "POW! BAM!" which will bring to life classic characters like Dick Tracy and Tarzan on a 3-D CGI stage, so I think a combination of live actors and digital sets. Sounds intriguing! We also talked about the art show he put together of art from his and Marc Hempel's BREATHTAKER that will be touring at least 6 museums around the country.
Here's Richard Starkings and his daughter (afraid I didn't catch her name) at the Comicraft booth, had a good chat with him about his own book ELEPHANTMEN. He has most of the run for sale in collections, but said his best sales these days come from digital downloads on Comixology.
Gary Gianni continues to work on "Game of Thrones" projects with George R.R. Martin. Last year it was a calendar, this fall will see the publication of a new book of short stories in the "Game of Thrones" series illustrated by Gary that looks great. The stories have seen print before, several were adapted as comics, but I still want to get and read this new version.
Taking over as PRINCE VALIANT newspaper strip artist from Gary is Thomas Yeates, and here he is with one of his pages. Looks great, and Tom is enjoying the strip. I don't see it, but hope to find it collected at some point.
Artist Steve Lieber was doing a Thor sketch in someone's sketchbook when we talked, it was good to see him.
Here's artist Mike Zeck ready for a commission.
Writer/artist Mark Schultz with a book from Flesk Publications that he wrote and drew, a combination of text and full-page illustrations. Looks terrific, I bought one and will enjoy reading it. He said he's also working on a new XENOZOIC TALES.
Joshua Reed letters all the Aspen Comics books. I had seen him talking about lettering in a panel on Thursday, and enjoyed chatting with him again about that.
Talked to Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett about what they're working on next. Paul is doing a new comics story for the first time in a long time, one on Aztec history, and is also preparing for another quasi-historical volume similar to his very popular BOILERPLATE.
In the afternoon I attended a comics history panel, "Twisted Roots of the Comics Industry," which I enjoyed. Moderating was Nicky Wheeler-Nicholson, granddaughter of Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson, the founder of the company that eventually became DC Comics, and someone I've corresponded with but not met, so it was nice to meet and listen to her. Her slide show included photos from my blog with my permission. Also shown here are Michael Uslan and Gerard Jones, Brad Ricca was also on the panel along with Danny Fingeroth. I knew most of the material covered, but it was fun to hear about it from these folks, comics historians all.
Back in Artist's Alley, Bernie Wrightson was signing prints and talking to fans. It was good to see him there, he's had serious health problems recently.
I talked to former DC Comics workmate Anthony Tollin about his reprints of "The Shadow" pulp magazines and many other things.
It was good to see Chrissie Zullo, we talked about the end of FABLES, where we worked together occasionally, and I love her charming artwork.
In the afternoon I was dragging, so went back to my hotel room for an hour's nap and some down time. I now had it to myself, as Gene and Andrew had checked out. Gene was heading home, and Andrew had another room of his own lined up for two nights, so I now got this great room at the Marriott, right next to the convention center, to myself. I enjoyed rooming with them, it worked out well, but am also glad to still have this room until I head home Monday.
Around 6:30 I changed and head over the the Bayside Hilton for the Eisner Awards. I thought I could walk there in 15 minutes, but forgot the con's main hall would close at 7 PM, and the crowd outside I had to get through was massive. I made it eventually by around 7:20, and found a seat at my table next to Steve Leialoha and Trina Robbins, as well as Michael and Laura Allred, and Vertigo chief Shelly Bond. Our table was not close enough to the podium for me to get pictures, so I just have this one of some of the winners being photographed afterwards. The lettering category was first up, and the award went to Stan Sakai, who is a fine letterer, and still doing it all by hand. I was happy to see him win. Stan has had a rough year, losing his wife Sharon, and I wish him all the best. I was kind of relieved not to win myself, it allowed me to enjoy being there as a nominee, feeling appreciated and part of the comics world, but I've won plenty of Eisners already and don't need more, really. The awards went smoothly for the most part, the presenters and recipients were generally entertaining, with perhaps the funniest moments from the final presenter, British talk-show host and comics fan Jonathan Ross, and the show wrapped up in about two and a half hours, which makes it a relatively short one.
Walking back to my hotel later, this was something I hadn't seen before, people allowed to camp out in front of the con center. I thought maybe it was part of the line for the big media events the next day in Hall H (for which people wait for days, something I can't fathom), but I asked one person, and he said he was just waiting to get into the show on Saturday. Perhaps these are folks with passes but no hotel room, I don't know, but it was kind of surprising they're allowed to camp there.
Okay, time to wrap this up and head out for more adventures, I'll write about them tomorrow.
SDCC 2015 Thursday
San Diego Comic-Con was already bustling when I arrived on the con floor a little before 10 AM. It only got more crowded through the day. Once Thursday was considered a light day for attendance, but now it's busy every day, and usually filled to capacity. Even with a huge event hall, the aisles soon fill. Continue reading
Getting to San Diego
Getting to San Diego is definitely NOT half the fun. Yesterday morning I was up at 5 AM, and off to Philadelphia International Airport by 6:45. I arrived at my gate around 8:30, plenty of time for a 9:50 flight. Then I began looking around and realized all the flights on United (my airline) were on hold due to a computer system crash nationwide. Not a good start to the trip! I had an egg sandwich and did some reading, and the system came back on, but our flight was still delayed about 2 hours leaving. I had a connection in Houston, but since all United flights were delayed, that was not a problem, in fact that flight left almost 3 hours late. I ran into Craig Yoe and his family there, and we had a good time talking about the comics biz, so the time went pretty quickly. I finally landed in San Diego around 6 PM, about two hours behind the planned landing, so they made up an hour in the air.
Once out of the airport I took a taxi to my hotel. I'd had no luck with the con's room lottery this year, but fortunately was invited to share a room very close to the convention center with Gene Ha and Andrew Pepoy, so that worked out well for me, and many thanks to Gene for the offer. I met Gene at the hotel, and he invited me to dinner with some other friends. I was starving at this point, having not eaten for about 8 hours, but I wanted to pick up my con badge first, so agreed to meet them at the restaurant. The photo above is the line for picking up pro badges, which stretched from in front of Hall A to Hall D, but it moved pretty quickly, and I was through with my badge in about a half hour. I had thought I'd spend some time in the con that evening (Preview Night), but I was too hungry, and opted for dinner instead. Continue reading

Charlie Boyer and The Voyeurs debut video for new single 'Be Glamorous'
Charlie Boyer and The Voyeurs have revealed the glitter-tastic video to their new single, 'Be Glamorous', out 20th May 2013 on Heavenly Recordings.
The single — taken from the debut album 'Clarietta', which is released the following week on the 27th May — is accompanied by a shimmering video that sees the band get all (New York) dolled up. Glitter and lipstick a go-go!
Speaking to Noisey which premiered the video, Charlie said: "The whole beauty of a guitar is that you can use three chords and run in any direction. There is no need for anything safe and no particular thing that you have to remain loyal to. That's where the glamour and danger come from… not specifically from the feather boas, but the ambiguity. I'm not saying that all the bands in Britain should sparkle and pout, but maybe there is a little twinkle of the eye needed."
Watch the video below and find a full list of upcoming tour dates at the bottom of the page.
"Pouting at the camera, there's a deliberately mixed up beauty here. The stretched, pleading vocals recall Tom Verlaine but Charlie Boyer has the ambivalent sexuality of a young Mick Jagger — yet with a sense of innocent experimentation." - Clash Magazine

Carson CityHome Menu
Patrol Division
Our Patrol Division is the most visible and largest division of our agency. The Patrol Division consists of sworn deputies who are trained in every aspect of law enforcement to include emergency vehicle operation, use of firearms, defensive tactics, criminal law, arrest and patrol procedures, etc. Our Patrol Deputies respond to emergency and non-emergency calls for service, enforce traffic laws, investigate crimes and assist in crime prevention.
The division is responsible as first responders (POST Category I Deputies) for a geographic region of 153 square miles of county land. Within the city proper of approximately 57,000 persons, the area is broken into five distinct areas known as "beats" with an officer assigned to each on a shift basis.
The Patrol Division supports the administrations commitment to the Carson City School District by providing one patrol deputy and one DARE officer to the schools. These officers are full-time committed to the safety and welfare of each of the districts six elementary schools, two middle schools, one high school and one adult education (high) school.
The departments K-9 program consists of three deputies with K-9's; all three certified for drug detection and one being dual drug and patrol.
The division is called upon to answer over 18,000 calls for service per year. In 2010, this activity resulted in over 7,300 reports filed and over 2,500 arrests.
A traffic division assignment is from the Patrol Division. Due to budget cuts in 2010, much of the traffic enforcement assignments have suffered considerably.
As the county is the state capitol and is a combined municipality (city/county), officers assigned are often tasked to work with other jurisdictions. Other city law enforcement entities include the courts Alternative Sentencing Division. State law enforcement agencies operating within the county include Capitol Police, Legislative Police, Attorney General, Parole & Probation, Nevada Highway Patrol, State Fire Marshall, and Nevada Department of Prisons (Northern Nevada Correctional Center, Nevada State Prison, and the Stewart Conversation Camp). Most federal agencies operating in the area have their resident offices located in Reno, just 30 minutes away.

Owner of Abandoned Horse Comes Forward
Roosters, hens and a horse found in western Craven County home
CRAVEN COUNTY - Sheriff's deputies get a break in the case of 16 animals found abandoned at a Craven County home. An unexpected owner comes forward after learning via Facebook that the animals had been left behind.
Elizabeth Mayo says she trusted her horse, named Hercules, to Brigido Lopez, 21. It wasn't until the story about the abandoned animals was posted on Facebook that she realized Hercules was in trouble.
"That horse is mine", a shocked Mayo wrote on News Channel 12's Facebook page. "If I knew he was just gonna leave him, I wouldn't have let this happen!"
Attempts to find or contact Lopez were not successful.
Craven Animal Control responded to a call Thursday from a property owner who claimed his tenants had left behind several animals after moving out. The home is on Honolulu Road in the area between Grifton and Vanceboro.
Trinity Smith with Animal Control said a puppy was found locked inside of the trailer, while 13 roosters, two hens and a horse were locked in the backyard.
All of the roosters are missing the red comb on their heads. Smith says this is a sign the animals were more than abandoned.
"There was evidence there that these roosters were used for cockfighting," Smith said.
Smith said all of roosters will be euthanized due to their aggressive behavior. The puppy and the two hens will soon be up for adoption. Hercules, the horse, will be returned to its owner.
Deputies say the search for Lopez continues. A warrant has been issued for his arrest. Lopez faces animal abandonment and animal cruelty charges.
According to public records, the property is owned by Juan Mendez. There is no official information yet as to who may have been renting that property.

The Beauregard Parish Covered Arena had a $60,000 deficit for fiscal year 2012, and arena officials failed to pay payroll taxes, according to a report released earlier this week by the state Legislative Auditor's Office.
John Windham, the DeRidder accountant who conducted the audit, said the arena, whose operations are overseen by the Beauregard Police Jury, received the best opinion an auditor can give — but made some financial missteps.
"We actually looked at 100 percent of the transactions of the covered arena because we can. It's small," Windham said. "In saying that, we're giving them the best opinion they can get. But you can have the best opinion and still have comments or findings. And many of my audits have findings. It's hard to be perfect."
One such misstep was an inability to find a credit card statement for auditors — for $1,004 to Factory Outlet. Arena managers were unable to locate the statement and had to turn to Capitol One for a replacement. Capitol One was unable to get the statement back in time, and the arena missed its June 30 filing deadline, Windham said.
The arena has struggled to strike a balance between making money and paying for operations — as evidenced by its $59,764 unrestricted net deficit. According to the audit report, managers will adjust the fees they charge to renters and concessions to balance its books.
The report also noted that the arena failed to pay payroll taxes — some $16,610, including January 2013 — for six quarters for its two employees. The Beauregard Parish Police Jury has since paid the debt.
All of this, said Arena Chairman Danny Futch, is because of an inability to generate the necessary revenue for the $4.5 million arena and because electricity costs run $3,000-3,200 a month. He cited instances where event money and state money were held up but said the arena has always managed to pay back monies borrowed from the Police Jury.
"I really do appreciate the positive support from the parish and the Police Jury," Futch said. "We're just trying our best to diversify our events, and bring in the best events for the arena."
The Police Jury recently approved the arena for a one-time permit to sell beer and wine at a concert in November. Community backlash prompted one police juror to apologize later for supporting the measure.
Futch said that if alcohol sales prove successful, the arena would seek another special events permit and would begin booking bigger events like motocross and boxing.

HILO >> A lawsuit claims the state failed to consider the Kulani Correctional Facility as a site for a wellness center, Hawaii Tribune-Herald reported Tuesday.
The group Ohana Hoopakele promotes rehabilitation programs that are based on Hawaiian cultural practices. The group is challenging the state's finding that reopening the minimum-security prison will have no significant environmental impact.
Supporters of wellness centers say there needs to be alternative, culture-based methods to rehabilitate incarcerated Native Hawaiians.
The state plans to re-open Kulani next year. It was closed in 2009 to help balance the state budget.
The group claims not considering the site as a wellness center is a violation of Act 117. The act directs state officials to prepare a plan for a wellness center on state land and refers to Kulani, 20 miles outside of Hilo, as an ideal location because of its existing infrastructure and because the area is a place of "deep spirituality for the Hawaiian people."
Not considering the site "continues and exacerbates the harms to Native Hawaiians as described in the report of the Hawaii Advisory Committee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights," the lawsuit states.
Officials say reopening the prison, which will house an estimated 200 inmates, will help reduce the number of prisoners sent to mainland correctional facilities.
According to the Community Alliance on Prisons, Hawaiians represent a disproportionate majority of the state's 6,000 inmates, a number that includes 1,800 serving their sentences on the mainland.
State Department of Public Safety Director Ted Sakai has said Hawaiian cultural programs will be incorporated at Kulani.

How joining the EU may transform the Central and Eastern European electricity sectors
It is not coincidental that energy assets are for sale across Central and Eastern Europe the same year that 10 new countries join the European Union (EU). New member states had to demonstrate significant sector reforms to qualify for EU membership. These sectors have historically had miserable economic results due to artificially maintained low prices, poor and often corrupt management, and significant political interference. On this dawn of EU expansion, we assess accession countries' progress in meeting the EU energy directives, the remaining hurdles to further liberalization, and obstacles for private investors.
European Union Framework
The objective of EU electricity legislation was to create an internal market for energy, thereby maximizing competitive forces in generation and supply and developing a non-discriminatory environment in transmission and distribution, with the ultimate ambition of improving efficiency and reducing costs for end consumers. Directive 1996/92/EC served as the key legislative catalyst for market deregulation. Electricity Directive 2003/54/EC replaced it and put in place more explicit regulations regarding regulators and the independence of grid operators. Other EU energy legislation addresses environmental issues, such as meeting the EU's commitment to the Kyoto Protocol by increasing the amount of renewable energy used and reducing environmentally harmful emissions from power plants.
Member countries are moving ahead of the legislated schedules, with some states such as Sweden, Finland, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Austria having achieved full market opening. EU accession states need to implement these energy policies by 2007 as part of their commitment to , the process of implementing all EU legislation into national legislation. 1
Electricity Markets in Central and Eastern Europe
In Europe, generation, transmission, distribution, and supply traditionally were integrated, and massive energy companies functioned almost as branches of government ministries. Indeed, economically, energy companies were not necessarily meant to make profits but rather to meet the public's need. At the same time, while all EU member states (and candidates) are striving toward the same goal of an increasingly open and competitive energy sector, the path toward this goal is not necessarily the same. The different original market structures in each country, their varying geographic composition and natural resources, and any potential social and economic constraints all affect which path is chosen.
An effective way to compare electricity markets in the accession countries is by looking at their market structures (whether vertically integrated or fragmented) and their supply arrangements-whether supply is organized by a single buyer or is non-centralized, that is, where eligible consumers (including distributors and suppliers) can buy from any generator directly.
This matrix results in four categories of market approaches that can describe all electricity markets. Three of these categories exist in the accession countries: the fragmented single buyer model, the fragmented non-centralized model, and the non-centralized vertically integrated model. 2 The fourth category, the vertically integrated single buyer model, is not present in the accession countries but is seen in other regions of the world, such as Quebec.
The first approach is the fragmented single buyer model, which has

Seared Tuna with Gremolata
Hans Rueffert
Eat Like There's No Tomorrow
Published by Hans Cooks
Gremolata is the Italians' answer to pesto. Wait, the Italians do pesto too … so, it's the Italians' other pesto-like, fresh herb sauce. I love the fresh, green taste of parsley and gremolata really showcases that herb's often-overlooked flavor. Most Americans think of parsley as an unwanted green garnish and it usually gets flung to the side. But parsley is loaded with healthy chlorophyll and actually helps keep your breath smelling sparkly. But of course, when you're adding in 4 cloves of garlic, all bets are off. Gremolata works really well with seafood, meats, pasta, and even as a topping for good crunchy bread. Give it a try.
Cooking Methodpan-frying
Total Timeunder 30 minutes
OccasionCasual Dinner Party, Cooking for a date
Recipe Coursemain course
Dietary Considerationegg-free, gluten-free, halal, healthy, kosher, lactose-free, low carb, peanut free, soy free, tree nut free
Equipmentblender, food processor
Taste and Texturegarlicky, herby, juicy, light, savory, tangy
- Two 4-6 oz. tuna steaks
- Zest from 1 lime
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
- ½ tablespoon oil
- Salt
- 4 garlic cloves
- ½ cup Vidalia onion, chopped
- ½ bunch parsley
- 2 tablespoons chives, roughly chopped
- 4 tablespoons avocado oil
- Juice and pulp from 1 lime
To make the gremolata, pulse together the lime juice and pulp, garlic, onion, parsley, chives, avocado oil, and a good pinch of salt in a food processor or blender until the sauce is slightly chunky, but homogenous.
Put the lime zest, chili flakes, and a little sea salt on a plate. Pat the tuna steaks on the plate, covering each piece with the mixture.
Add the ½ tablespoon of oil to a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and wavy, place the tuna steaks in the pan and sear 1-2 minutes per side. Tuna is best eaten rare to medium rare. To serve, simply plate the fish and spoon loads of gremolata on top. If you have extra limes, serve some extra wedges with the fish. A good splash of fresh lime juice always makes things taste just a little brighter.

Nukutoa is a tiny island with a couple hundred inhabitants, located in the Pacific Ocean about 250 kilometers northeast of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. The island is only one meter above sea level. There is no electricity, there are no stores, nor is there a regular ferry connection with the outside world. People subsist on what they catch from the sea and grow in their own gardens. Thanks to the isolated location, a unique, centuries-old culture has remained largely intact, but this could all come to an end in the foreseeable future - the island might end up getting flooded as a result of climate change. The filmmakers follow three islanders and their families as the situation gets increasingly precarious. They capture how the idyllic white beaches are gradually getting submerged, how the plants in people's gardens are dying because of salt water, and how floods destroy houses. We see the frustration and the despair of the people, who grow more and more dependent on a distant government that seems incapable of taking adequate measures to help them. The key question is whether they should move or instead choose to stay and continue the fight for their island and the future of their culture.

The photo above makes fun of Tom Doumolin, leader of the Giro d'Italia bike race in Italy, having to stop riding his bike during the middle of a stage and, er, make use of a field for a toilet. Riding to work this morning, Kevin spotted someone with a toilet in their front yard, terribly convenient (but not terribly private) for a cyclist in need!
This, as mentioned, was a very long day for me, starting late yesterday, when blood test results came back indicating that there were some anomalies that were entirely unrelated to my breathing issues but potentially serious. The sort of thing that, when the "New test results available" email comes from Kaiser, you open with some degree of fear & trepidation. Definitely had some trouble sleeping last night, going over in my mind all the worst possibilities, and those fears weren't softened when the Hematology department said I needed to come in today. Ummm… ok?
Did I tell you some (most?) aspects of getting older suck? When the nurse first took my blood pressure, I did the usual spiking thing, kicking it up to 160/90. I explained that's just what I do in a doctor's office, so she gave me a chance to collect my wits (calm down a bit) and bingo, 135/83. For me, in a medical environment, that's darned good. The problem is that I have this real fear of needles, and guess what I associate with needles?
After spending quite a bit of time with the Doctor it turns out what I've got isn't really that big a deal (very high platelet count) and can be managed with a pretty benign medication. That's the good side. The bad side is that I'll be on an every-two-week blood test regimen for a while as they figure out the best dose for an appropriate response. Did I tell you I hate needles?
If I was younger, there wouldn't be much reason to bother with bringing the platelet level down, but man, if you're over 60, you might just as well forget about whatever warranty you thought your body had! Platelets are a good thing in normal numbers; they allow your blod to clot so cuts can heal. But in too-high numbers, platelets can essentially over-react and cause blood clots in aging bodies. Hate that.
I will say that I'm getting better at facing up to the mental challenges of having blood drawn. One of the funnier things the Doctor mentioned was that I must be new to Kaiser, since I had no real lab work on file prior to 2009. Yeah, well, I've been with Kaiser since, what, 1972 or something like that? Just stayed in "stealth" mode.
Stealth mode no more. It was a long and successful non-medicated ride for 55 years I think? But time to embrace better life through chemistry I guess. And less fear of blood test results. You just deal with it and keep on moving.
Message to mom- the doctor said there are no limitations whatsoever on what I can do. It's possible the new meds could make me a bit fatigued at times, but she said no biggie, just rest up a bit. I asked her if there's an issue if I just "push through it" and she gave me the strangest look, as in why would you do that?, but said no, you're not going to hurt yourself doing so. Also, had the moles checked. All good. No need to call me. I'm fine. 🙂
Oh right, the ride report. Just myself and Kevin (kid) today, which was a bit odd. Sure, it was wet and cold up on Skyline, wet and cold enough that we skipped with West Old LaHonda section, thinking it would be really fogged in. And thinking in the back of our minds, what if it's actually really beautiful on that side of the hill? We'll never know.

Jay & Livermore Falls, Pioneers in Paper Making
Alvin Record and Hugh J. Chisholm were instrumental in building paper mills in Jay, Livermore, and Livermore Falls. The two industrialists helped make the towns prosperous.
Yarmouth's "Third Falls" provided the perfect location for papermaking -- and, soon, for producing soda pulp for making paper. At the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th, Yarmouth was an international leader in soda pulp production.

Western Maine Foothills Region
Eleven communities comprise the Western Foothills Region, all interconnected yet each with its own unique, rich history. This site is the beginning of the towns sharing their stories with the world, each other, and the next generation. Working closely with local schools, six historical societies came together to help the next generation understand the heritage of their area. We invite you to explore our exhibits that celebrate the individuals and events that formed our communities.
The Downeast community's history as presented by a broad-based team of representatives from Surry Elementary School and Surry Historical Society. Topics covered include the Surry Opera House and Surry Playhouse, the Surry Village School and education over time in the community, sawmills, and early property owner Phebe Fowler. Students scanned and transcribed a large number of the items digitized for the project.
Strong, a Mussul Unsquit village
The history of a small western Maine community north of Farmington as told by a team consisting of Strong Historical Society, Strong Elementary School, and Strong Public Library. Exhibit topics include Strong's prominence in the wood products industry (it was once the "Toothpick Capital of the World"), the "Bridge that Changed the Map," schools and educational history, clubs and organizations, "Fly Rod" Crosby, the first Maine guide, and a rich student section related to the Civil War and post-Civil War era in the town.

The recent crisp cool air makes me crave warm comforting spices and desserts of stewed apples or pears. This time of year I just love the smells of nutmeg and cinnamon and cardamom that seem to come with the holidays. This morning still warm and snuggly in my pjs I baked up some pear cardamom coffee cake muffins. They were perfect for a cold morning with a hot cup of tea. I think I may bake them again for family in a few weeks for Thanksgiving, they were so good.
The coffee cake strussel is sweet and crumbly and gives great textural balance to the fluffy muffins. The pears come out buttery soft and practically melt into the muffin. And can we talk about the cardamom? Pear and cardamom, I think they really like each other and it shows. This pairing is nuanced and wonderful. Turn that heater on and enjoy some warm muffins this morning!
Pear and Cardamom Coffee Cake Muffins
(recipe adapted from Food & Wine apple crumb coffee cake muffins)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup sour cream
1 large egg, beaten
2 large pears peeled and finely diced
MAKE THE STREUSEL Preheat the oven to 350°. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, combine the flour with the brown sugar and salt. Add the butter pieces and mix at medium-low speed until the mixture resembles coarse meal; continue mixing the streusel until very small clumps form. Transfer the streusel to a large plate and refrigerate until it is well chilled, about 10 minutes.
MAKE THE CRUMB CAKES Line 18 standard-size muffin cups with paper liners. Spray the liners with vegetable oil cooking spray. In the mixer bowl, combine the flour with the granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom and cinnamon. Add the butter pieces and beat at low speed until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the sour cream and beaten egg and beat until the batter is smooth. Add the diced pear and beat just until incorporated.
Fill the muffin cups halfway with the crumb cake batter. Press the streusel into clumps and sprinkle on top. Bake the crumb cakes in the center of the oven for about 30 minutes, until risen, golden and springy to the touch; rotate the pans halfway through baking. Let the crumb cakes cool slightly before serving.

What an adorable little muffin! Pears and cardamom are two of Vern's favorite things. If I were a good wifey, I'd whip up a batch 😉
