Inkin-Balzsay now main event!
Photo: Eroll Popova
The highly anticipated WBO super middleweight world championship collision between unbeaten fighters Denis Inkin and Karoly Balszay has been elevated to main event status tonight in Magdeburg, Germany. The decision was made by ZDF to feature the bout on live German television after Yuri Barashian was unable to make weight for his light heavyweight world title challenge against longtime champion Zsolt Erdei. Inkin (34-0, 24 KOs) and Balzsay (19-0, 14 KOs) were supposed to meet for the WBO interim belt last September in Hamburg, however Balzsay suffered a cut in training. Inkin then defeated late sub Fulgencio Zuniga and was crowned full WBO champion after Joe Calzaghe relinguished the WBO title. He will now make his first defense against his WBO #1 rated stablemate on the first "Universum Champions Night" of 2009. Erdei vs Barashian will still take place on the card, but Erdei retains the WBO belt win or lose.

|Doc Rivers on his Celtics: 'Honestly, they believe they can win'
|06.06.12 at 2:08 am ET
After winning three straight games to dig themselves out of an 0-2 hole to the heavily-favored Miami Heat, the Celtics are on the verge of one of the most improbable trips to the NBA finals, even by their most-lofty franchise standards. Doc Rivers said after Tuesday's 94-90 win in Game 5 in Miami that the reason the Celtics never give up on a game in hostile territory is because of the makeup of his veteran locker room.
"It's just a good team, a close-knit team," Rivers answered when questioned about his players' supreme confidence. "They talk that way. We have a lot of positive talk in our locker room, a lot. And it fuels from them. And honestly, they believe they can win. And we just have to keep hanging in there."
One reason the Celtics believe they can win is history. In the Big Three era — beginning in 2008 — the Celtics are now 9-0 in Game 5 contests in which the series was tied, 2-2. On Tuesday, they didn't crumble when they fell behind by 13 in the first half and were shooting just 33 percent at halftime.
After watching his team hold on, Rivers said he reminded his team after the emotional win not to lose focus on the task at hand, namely closing out the supremely talented LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Miami Heat in Boston Thursday and not give them the chance to return the Eastern Conference finals to Miami on Saturday.
"I told them, 'We've done nothing.' We're playing a heck of a basketball team. And so, just because we're going to Boston, I told them, 'We have to play. They're not going to give it to us. We have to go get it,' " Rivers said.
Rivers is also known as one of the most inspirational coaches in the NBA. He had to go deep into that well Tuesday night as his team fell behind 31-18 in Game 5 to the Heat. Miami was hitting most of its open shots while the Celtics started off 4-of-17.
"We're just hanging in there," Rivers said after the 94-90 win that put the Celtics one win from the NBA finals. "They jumped up on us at the beginning of the game. We just told our guys, 'Hang in there, just hang in there. Don't overreact. Hang in there. The longer we're in the game, the better we'll play.' It was really nice." Read the rest of this entry »
|Mickael Pietrus: 'I had to take a shot and make it'
|at 1:48 am ET
Mickael Pietrus hit a pair of crucial 3-pointers in the fourth quarter Tuesday night as the Celtics held off the Heat, 94-90, in Game 5 at American Airlines Arena in Miami. Pietrus hit 5-of-8 shots from the floor and finished with 13 points off the bench as the Celtics moved to the brink of the NBA finals for the third time in five seasons by taking a 3-2 series lead over the heavily favored Heat.
Pietrus said he received a special source of inspiration on Monday via text message from former Celtic and current TNT NBA analyst Shaquille O'Neal.
"I got a text from Shaq, he was telling me keep believing and keep playing, so that's what I did," Pietrus said.
Pietrus hit a huge 3-pointer to cap a wild flurry midway through the fourth as the Celtics and Heat were battling for control of the game. With the Heat on a 9-0 run to go up 78-72, Brandon Bass had his dunk blocked by Dwyane Wade, but the loose ball went out to Rajon Rondo, who touched it immediately to a wide-open Pietrus on the right baseline. Pietrus drilled it to cut the Heat lead to three and help spark Boston's comeback.
"When Rondo took that rebound and kicked it out to me, I knew I had to take a shot and make it, so that's what I did," Pietrus said.
"The one thing you know about Pietrus is he's going to shoot it. He's been down this road before," Doc Rivers said, giving credit to Rondo for touch-passing to Pietrus on the wing.
With 2:11 left and Miami back in the lead at 83-82 on a Mario Chalmers 3-pointer, Pietrus stepped up and did it again, nailing another trey on a pass from Pierce. The triple put Boston up 85-83 and again quieted the crowd, which was anticipating a Heat run to close out the game as in Game 2.
"I'm very happy with the way we've been playing defensively and I think it's up to us to go home and close it out," Pietrus said.
|Fast Break: Truth is, Celtics one win from NBA finals
|06.05.12 at 11:29 pm ET
Shooting just 5-of-18 from the field through the first 47:07.1 of Game 5 and his Celtics leading by just one, Paul Pierce pulled up for a trey in Heat superstar LeBron James' face with 52.9 seconds remaining, and The Truth's shot was true, giving the Celtics a four-point lead that resulted in a 94-90 victory.
In a frenzied fourth quarter that featured four lead changes, two ties and countless great plays on both sides, Pierce's triple was the greatest, effectively giving the Celtics a 3-2 lead over the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals with Game 6 in Boston on Thursday night.
Somehow, someway, the C's Big Four of Kevin Garnett (26 points, 11 rebounds), Pierce (19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists), Rajon Rondo (13 points, 13 assists, 6 rebounds) and Ray Allen (13 points, 7 rebounds) — despite shooting 40.7 percent from the field — outshined the Heat's Big Three of James (30 points, 13 rebounds), Dwyane Wade (27 points) and the ghost of Chris Bosh (9 points, 14 minutes).
Third dimension: Over the final six minutes of the third quarter, the Celtics turned a 59-50 deficit into a 65-60 lead entering the fourth. The 15-1 run included buckets from Allen, Pierce, Greg Stiemsma, Garnett, Mickael Pietrus and Keyon Dooling — not to mention great defense by all, holding the Heat without a field goal.
Garnett gets going: After trailing by as much as 13 in the second quarter, the Celtics made a concerted effort to go back to what's worked throughout these playoffs — getting Garnett involved in the post. His 1-of-7 start from the field was mostly the result of shots off the block, but he took advantage of a legless Bosh, and Rondo fed him for a couple late layups that helped the Celtics cut the Heat lead to 42-40 by the half.
Free Bassing: While Pierce and Rondo started a combined 3-of-18 from the field, the Celtics desperately needed offense elsewhere. Enter Brandon Bass. It wasn't quite his 27-point masterpiece against the 76ers, but Bass started 4-of-5 from the field for 10 points to go along with three rebounds, two steals and a block by halftime. He didn't make a big impact in the second half, but he kept the C's in it early.
|The Chris Bosh effect
|06.04.12 at 7:23 pm ET
MIAMI — Kevin Garnett is a problem. During the 152 minutes he's been on the court in the Eastern Conference finals he's scored 82 points and grabbed 43 points. To put it in simpler terms: He's getting 20 and 10 every night and there hasn't been a whole lot the Heat can do about it.
They've tried Ronny Turiaf, Joel Anthony, Udonis Haslem and even LeBron James with varying degrees of success, which is to say, not that much. (Anthony has the best defensive numbers, but his start in Game 4 didn't stop the Celtics from hanging 61 points on Miami in the first half.) No matter who the Heat throw at Garnett, they can't counter the stark reality that he is taller, more athletic and more skilled than anyone they have to guard him.
There's another issue here and that is that none of those three have much to offer in the way of offensive ability. Haslem can step out and make mid-range jump shots, but most of those tend to come off defensive breakdowns. It's not like the Celtics wants him taking uncontested 15-footers, but it's also not as if Miami is running a lot of action to get him those jumpers.
Without a scoring threat to defend, Garnett is thus free to roam the paint and cause havoc. When Garnett is in there to protect the paint, the Heat are shooting 62 percent at the rim. When he's not they've made a shocking 22-of-23 shots at the rim. (That's 96 percent, by the way. Ninety-six percent!) A KG with no one to check on the defensive end is a dangerous KG and the key to the Celtics' halfcourt schemes.
The Celtics' two wins in Boston have made this a three-game battle of attrition and all the lineup shuffling in the world can't hide the fact that the C's have two huge matchups advantages with Garnett and Rajon Rondo serving as the other. The Heat can't do anything about Rondo besides throwing out numerous defenses and combinations that he seems to solve like he's working over a Rubik's Cube.
This is where Chris Bosh enters the picture. He's been out since Game 1 of the Pacer series with an abdominal strain ' the same kind of injury that kept Garnett out of the lineup for nine games in 2008 ' and in that time the Heat did quite well, winning five straight games to close out the Pacers and the first two of this series. It seems clear that if Miami had its way, it would keep Bosh under wraps until the finals.
There's no telling how much Bosh will be able to give the Heat, but just by stepping on the court he offers an offensive weapon that has to be guarded and there's really no one on the Celtics' roster who can check him besides Garnett. He's too big for Brandon Bass and too skilled for Greg Stiemsma and Ryan Hollins.
Just having Bosh on the floor changes the equation dramatically for Garnett and the Celtics. Their defensive gameplan in this series has been predicated on doubling Dwyane Wade and James whenever possible ' mostly Wade ' with Garnett either serving as the first line of defense or the last line against everything else that happens.
"We've prepared every game like Bosh is going to play," coach Doc Rivers said. "Eventually he will, and maybe tomorrow."
If Bosh is able to play in Game 5 ' and if he's able to be effective — the series takes on a completely new outlook. The small lineup that has proven so effective will have to be augmented. Garnett will have an important defensive responsibility and possibly Bosh will be able to slow down KG's offensive game. That's a lot to ask of a player coming from back an injury, but Garnett and the Celtics have forced the issue.
There was yet another defining moment of the series in the second half when LeBron James drove to the basket and was hit hard by Kevin Garnett. The two locked each other up momentarily as James pushed off of Garnett.
No foul was called in rare moment in the series where two players were allowed to go at each other in the heat of battle.
"[We were] two teams just throwing punches, really, to be honest," Garnett said after Boston's 93-91 Game 4 win in overtime. "I thought when we were up, we were aggressive. Obviously they were going to make a run. They got a lot of free-throws in that run, a lot of lay-ups in that run and they were able to get some transition."
The Heat made their big run in the third quarter to make it a game as the Celtics fell into big foul trouble. With 3:35 left in the third, Rajon Rondo picked up his fourth foul. Just 13 seconds later, Paul Pierce joined him on the bench with four personals. It was up to Garnett to lead the group on the floor and right the ship as the Heat closed the quarter with a 7-1 run that cut the Boston lead down to 73-68 entering the fourth.
"Once we got that under control, I felt like we got back aggressive," Garnett said. "The play-calling was all over the place as far as the refs and I thought both teams played through it. Then, when we had to, we got stops.'
The biggest challenge for stars like Garnett, Rondo, Pierce and James is to know what kind of contact is going to be whistled and what isn't during a game, something that could decide the season for both teams.
'It is but you have to put the refs in a position to make some calls," Garnett added. "[Doc Rivers] stressed us to stay aggressive. At times it is difficult but it can't decipher on your aggression and how aggressive you are especially during a run. Defensively, you want to be in sync but you can't let them decipher how you are. I thought we kept our composure pretty well and finished the game off.'
Garnett essentially admitted that the Celtics were lucky to survive Sunday night when Pierce fouled out just 38 seconds into OT. The Celtics scored just four points. They held Miami to two in the five-minute period.
'It changes when Paul goes out," Garnett said. "The scorers, Rajon, myself, [Ray Allen] and everybody has to pick up the load a little bit as far as being more offensive-minded. Like I've always said, we are a defensive team that can score the basketball. When Paul goes out, Rajon knows to be a lot more aggressive. Ray knows to be a lot more aggressive. We encourage [Mickael Pietrus to score]. I think Quis [Marquis Daniels] was in there in the latter part of the game. (We) just stay aggressive. As long as we are making stops, we can turn it over into some easy offense and we're a hard team to beat at times.'
|Maine reporter thinks Celtics, Heat tied Game 4
|at 2:55 pm ET
Man, you miss one playoff game, and it ends in a tie. And you thought the officiating in Game 2 was suspect. Oh well. Guess it's better than a loss. Oh, wait, what's that? NBA games don't end in ties? Are you sure? I mean, this WMTW reporter from Portland, Maine seems like a regular Jeff Van Gundy to me when it comes to Celtics-Heat. Seriously, though, she's probably still a better basketball analyst than Magic Johnson at this point.
|Paul Pierce has the last laugh on LeBron James
|at 4:47 am ET
Cameras caught Paul Pierce breaking into a wide smile with 1:51 left in overtime as LeBron James was called for his sixth and final foul, getting disqualified for just the fourth time in his career, and the first time since April 2008.
It was also the first time in James' career that he fouled out in the playoffs. Paul Pierce, on the other hand, fouled out for the third time in his last five playoff games dating back to Game 7 against Philadelphia. Pierce was called for his sixth just 38 seconds into overtime when he was called for running over Shane Battier on a cut across the lane.
"Oh, it was very frustrating," Pierce said. "But it's gratifying when you see the other star player fouling out, also."
Pierce later added, "It was a cut, scratch, grab, hold, elbow-type of game. I mean nobody was going to give an edge. I'd say it's a classic. You rarely see that, you rarely see that. You rarely see that when you've got two star players fouling out.
"This is probably going to be an instant classic-type of game," said Pierce, who is now headed to Miami with the Eastern Conference finals tied, 2-2. "We have a chance of winning this series. It's not going to be easy, a good old classic bar fight.
'Words can't even describe the type of game it is," Pierce said. "I mean it's a funny game, the way the ball bounces, the way things go. I mean, started out way up the big lead, to come back, and I was sitting there on the sideline in overtime, I was like, this is probably going to be an instant classic type of game. It was just like one team gets momentum and the other team just grabs it. I'm just glad we were on the winning side today.'
Pierce laughed when asked where he thinks the series stands. He laughed because he's very aware of the opportunity that lies ahead, starting with Game 5 in Miami.
'It's even," Pierce said. "We've got to win a game in Miami, of course. We have a chance of winning this series. It's not going to be easy. It's a good old classic bar fight. Going in to it, you [had] to expect every game to be like this. Coming down to the wire, both teams trying to find an edge. This was a great game today.
'We've won two in a row," Pierce added. "We feel like we let Game 2 slip away. So, we fee like were playing a good momentum. But we've got to start playing for 48 minutes. We haven't put together a 48 minute game yet. There's no reason we shouldn't have gotten to 100 points tonight after scoring 61 in the first half so were hoping we can put together a full game when we get down to Miami.'

Any recommendations?
Any recommendations?
I use a product called trim wizard, excellent stuff, plastics and tyres.
I prefer this cos it's cheap
Does engine bay nicely as well
Megs endurance gel, last forever
The demo of the more expensve product looks impressive, however, you need to wait at least an hour with most of these products to acurately guage results - ie when it's dry again. Could be worth a punt though if your trim is really bad then £25 is a small price to pay.
Last edited by chrisp_1; 09-03-2011 at 10:38. Reason: spelling!
The stuff Ben has recommended is cheaper in the long run though because you only ever have to do it once where as the autoglym stuff wears off within a week..
7 times the price, 100 times the quality.
G Techniq worth the outlay all day long
If you want a cheaper alternative for the black strips...
Kiwi shoe polish, it costs less than a quid and does the trick!!!
You will need the 2 shoe brushes - one to put on and the other to buff it up....

So, I finally got approval to start an outdoors club at the suburban Connecticut college where I teach, and I'm looking for ideas and suggestions on how to bring student club members into the outdoors. We've set ourselves the mission of getting our diverse student urban/suburban population into the outdoors, teaching them Leave No Trace and outdoors skills, and doing community service work (trail maintenance) locally. Does anyone have any specific ideas or comments on how to get my kids started in the CT/MA/RI/NY area?
Also, any offers of assistance from skilled volunteers in the area who might like to lead small groups into the outdoors for us would be much appreciated (appropriate screening will be applied, of course) – I'm operating alone at this point and I've already had almost 20 students sign up, so cannot really do anything except day hiking with a group of that size… We're in East Hartford, CT.May 26, 2011 at 7:52 am #1741347

I would contact other university outdoor programs and ask for advice. Ask to see copies of their leader manuals, policies, waivers and the like. Perhaps you can even attend their guide trainings. There is a lot of liability involved in leading people outdoors. Best not to go into this blind and there is no need to reinvent the wheel. You won't be competing with other colleges, so they will likely be open to sharing their manuals.May 26, 2011 at 8:00 am #1741352

My buddy organized a hiking club and got members so quickly he had to start a waiting list almost immediately. His trick was he raised money, organized a shuttle for hikes, put flyers up and people flocked. Gas is expensive and college kids are poor, they will take notice.May 26, 2011 at 11:21 am #1741440

Congrats! That's a great thing to offer students. You should check out some of the other Outing Clubs in New England. The UVM Outing Club's faculty adviser might have some ideas or insights for you.
At UVM, they have a program that trains students to be trip leaders. I believe it's called WILD. I believe the students are trained in driving university vans and wilderness first aid. A bunch of my friends went through that program. I believe they might limit the size of groups to something like 2 student leaders and 8 participants, but they could fill you in better.
If I remember correctly, my GF said that the club tried to encourage students with diverse backgrounds to participate in outdoor sports like backpacking and canoeing. I'll have to ask here about it tonight.May 28, 2011 at 11:55 am #1742183

Great advice, thanks… I'll jump on the phone next week and try UVM, I also have contacts at both UNH, SUNY Courtlandt and Plymouth State… so I can definitely cast a wide net. I've already got over 40 people signed up in just a week, so I might have the same issues of too many people to handle too soon. I guess it is a good problem to have! The college just bought a bunch (~300 acres) of wild lands on the CT river, and they're planning to put in trails etc, but leave it basically as a pristine area on the river. With appropriate supervision, we might be able to use that space to get started.
On the liability thing, no doubt we'll have to deal with the college's insurance agent. The initial reaction was "waivers of liability", I'm going to make sure I have that nailed before our first trip!
Anyway, thanks again for the advice… I just set up our facebook page, so if you're interested in following our progress as we form up and begin taking tiny measured steps towards the wilderness, search for "Goodwin College Outdoors Club" on facebook and "like" us!
Cheers, James.

Classical Versus Behavioral Perspectives
The classical perspective focuses on direct inputs to efficiency, while the behavioral perspective examines indirect inputs too.
Scientific Management: Taylor and the Gilbreths
Scientific management focuses on improving efficiency and output through scientific studies of workers' processes.
Bureaucratic Organizations: Weber
Weber's bureaucracy focused on creating rules and regulations to simplify complex procedures in societies and workplaces.
Administrative Management: Fayol's Principles
Fayol's approach differed from scientific management in that it focused on efficiency through management training and behavioral characteristics.

The classical approach to management is often criticized for viewing a worker as a mere tool to improve efficiency.

On Safari Foods serves a mouthwatering moveable feast
On Safari Foods, in West Seattle on 35th Ave. S.W. since 2002 has moved. Why?
it's for the best of reasons. It's so successful they simply needed more room.
Begun by owner Teresa Carew in 1992 out of her home the company is a highly successful catering business providing between 500 and 1000 meals daily, primarily to their largest client, Google. They run two cafes for them opening a new one last January. 350 people a day are served in the two on-site cafes.
Their former location at 9005 35th Avenue s.w. was 2200 square feet and they had been there since 2002. The new location is in the SODO neighborhood at 3317 3rd Ave. So. in a facility once occupied by Organic to go and another firm called Creative Kitchens. The 5000 square foot facility boasts six walk in refrigerators, lots of floor space and a "cooking line" where large quantities of food can be prepared.
This is no ordinary lunch fare.
Led by head Chef Maria Lofgren, the company prepares a sensational array of foods every day for the internet search giant's offices in Fremont while also providing food for large law firms, software companies, weddings, and many other events. Some of the clients include Attachmate, law firms Gordon Derr and Miller-Nash, and other companies like Dendreon, Isilon, Microsoft, and Boeing.
Now that the company has some breathing room, some more expansion dreams are possible. In the works are a gluten-free bakery line in the next 60 days. "We're finalizing our recipes and trying to get our bread recipe down," said Carew, " but we've got the most fabulous baked goods. Someday soon, you'll be able to walk into a coffee shop and have one of our incredible gluten free brownies."
A specialty all natural sausage line already offered by On Safari in their catered meals will likely see some greater emphasis too. They are called Boerewors and come in grass fed beef and pork, with flavorings like coriander and nutmeg plus a "bunch of other spices." They also make a beef sausage in sheep casing for Jewish customers, a lamb sausage with fresh rosemary, garlic and cumin and a creole pork sausage. "We've never, ever brought it to the market but this is the year we will," Carew said.
Carew's favorite part of the new kitchen is the coffee area. "This is my baby," she said, " This is what enables me to get up at 4:30 in the morning to work on a large breakfast meeting." They use whatever the customer requests but their proximity to Starbucks enables them to cater corporate meetings for them and of course use Starbucks coffee for those events.
On Safari is capable of a huge variety of cuisines and both Carew and Lofgren do hours of research on recipes, recognizing through experience and expertise which ingredients and in which proportions will yield great tasting food. They use these recipes as the basis for what they prepare, scaling up, changing or adding to them as their client's requests and their own tastes dictate.
Cooking for Google has expanded their own cooking repertoire because the menu is different every day. "We're able to innovate all the time," Carew said. Carew and Lofgren create the menus together including some custom menus for particular dining requests. "We're about the only virtually all custom caterer in Seattle," Carew explained.
Their flexibility has brought them many unexpected clients . "We did an Iranian wedding and out of that came a wealth of new cuisine. Just fabulous recipes."
They do far more than just corporate cooking. "We specialize in kosher catering, bar and bat mitzvah, weddings and private events," Carew explained.
Carew, who is from South Africa, didn't study to be a chef. She actually is a highly skilled linguist speaking several languages, who started out as, " a wannabe caterer, I catered out of my home kitchen." Then she progressed to renting spaces and as business became more successful she found she needed a physical location. She's a West Seattle resident so when the space opened up on 35th she took it.
For a time a few years ago that location featured a retail/deli style outlet for the foods she was preparing but it took up too much room in the limited space. Now, in the new building that outlet will come back giving the people of SODO a much healthier alternative to the fast food places that dot the landscape in that neighborhood.
Her staff is now at 25 people (though not all of them work on the Google account) and recently her daughter Rebecca joined the company. "She's just great," said Carew, "and has already made a difference for us (...) All of our chefs have degrees and they are all huge thinkers, they all excel and they are perfectionists and they are professional. They've been with me for a very, very long time."
That staff by the way is rather notably slender. You might think that a catering company, around food all day, and with so much variety and so many tempting choices from appetizers to desserts would have people who consume calories by the thousands. Carew explained it as, "You don't get fat when you eat good food." Her theory is that the food they prepare is so satisfying that it's not necessary to eat a lot since great flavor alone is "so satisfying." Not surprisingly there is published research that indicates she's right about this. The smell of food, which accounts for up to 90% of the taste can be used to trigger a sense of fullness.
Carew is very focused on the details of the food that is prepared and said, "There's no reason to send food out that hasn't been perfected."
That attention to quality shows in the response she gets. The company has gotten many kudos from their customers both in the form of emails and public accolades you can read on Yelp.com.
An aspect of the foods they prepare that they take extra pride in is their seasonal cooking. Foods made from scratch depend on seasonally available ingredients but On Safari takes the next step and for occasions like Christmas will completely research the seasonal specialties from such as Mexico or Italy. For example on St. Patrick's Day they will prepare authentic Irish Corned Beef.
They try to source most of their food locally, using Charlie's Produce (and are part of their organic program), and many of the spices used actually come directly from Carew's own West Seattle herb garden.
One indication of how successful On Safari has become is a conversation Carew had with Charlie's. She had been getting deliveries twice a week but then she got a call. "Would you mind letting us deliver to you every day? Your order is larger than the West Seattle Thriftway." That was two years ago and they have doubled the order since then.
With a South African owner and a name like On Safari you might wonder if they serve any African foods. Absolutely. "Our biggest seller is our chicken sosaties, marinated in a fat free apricot curry and skewered with apricots," Carew said. While she takes the work very seriously the world of food choices is really something more like a playground for Carew and her staff. They take great delight in finding, customizing and preparing food for their growing list of happy clients.

Hi DB,
I noticed that you contributed the photo for this memorial. Any idea who John Martin is buried next to? Next to his name on the tombstone is "Kathryn S." Could it be one of his wives? Thanks for the info!

RE: Hughson
Your very welcome.
I am related to both the Spafford & Burnett families so I am connected and very interested in the Pixley family as well.
Eldon Herbert Pixley is a 1st cousin 3 times removed through the Spaffords' and Richard Arthur Pixley is a 4th cousin once removed through the Burnetts' as two examples.
I am also very interested in the Hughson family as I have connections there through the Buck & Lyon families as well.

After a few seconds, the obit should have displayed (after they give the opportunity to subscribe!)
At any rate, here it is. There a few factoids that didn't make their way into the paper you consulted, which you may choose in incorporate.
Credit should be given to the Altoona Mirror, Feb. 19, 2016.
Lino Giuliani, 90, Vero Beach, Fla., formerly of Grant, Fla., passed away peacefully at home Jan. 17, 2016, after a long and adventurous life.
He was born in Rome, Italy, son of Enrico and Agata Giuliani.
Surviving are many beloved friends and family around the country, including his dear cousin, Arturo Julian of Gallitzin.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and a sister, Rosa in Italy.
In 1954, Lino immigrated to the United States to be with family and friends. He soon joined the U.S. Merchant Marines as a ship engineer, traveling the globe visiting other countries and exploring history. On Aug. 15, 1962, he received his Certificate of Naturalization and became a citizen of the United States, a pride that he felt never waned.
After retiring in 1990, he settled in Grant, Fla., and became a neighborhood friend known for pet-sitting and delivering Meals on Wheels to his friends. He always had a thirst for knowledge, a love of animals and a talent for cooking.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, 2016, at St. Luke's Catholic Church, Barefoot Bay, Fla., followed by a reception in the parish hall. His ashes will be interred in Gallitzin at the family burial site at a later date. Arrangements are by Ammen Family Funeral Home, Melbourne, Fla.

Mr. Johnson, you entered William Cartwright in "Find A Grave". On behalf of the Schreiber High School Performing Arts department, I'm trying to contact any friends and/or family members of Mr. Cartwright. He played the pipes in a 1971 production of "Brigadoon" at Schreiber High School. We've posted recordings of his playing and we thought his family and/or friends might like to hear them.

A Fresh Meadows mother is fighting a school superintendent's decision to make her daughter repeat the fifth-grade after the girl spent months in summer school to boost her test scores and barely missed the cut-off point to pass the exam..
Elise LaForge said she and her daughter, Christina LaForge, who has a learning disability that makes taking tests difficult, were devastated to learn the 11-year-old would have to go through the fifth-grade all over again after she scored 640 out of 800 points on the state standardized test for English — seven points below the mark needed to pass the exam.
Although this was just below the cut-off point, Elise LaForge said her daughter's former principal at PS 162 said Christina would still be able to move on to the sixth-grade, a decision District Superintendent Anita Saunders ended up ruling against. Christina's principal and teachers had told LaForge her daughter should be able to move ahead, and Saunders' office even sent out a letter to LaForge stating Christine would be promoted to the sixth-grade. The city Department of Education called this a "clerical error."
"She's not eating well, she's up every night, she can't sleep, she's crying," LaForge said. "This is not her personality. She's going to fifth-grade in a new school now, where she doesn't know anybody. She's sitting alone at recess. It breaks my heart."
After Saunders decided Christina would have to repeat the grade, her family was officially notified of the decision just one day before school was to begin on Sept. 7, LaForge said. LaForge had been in contact with school officials prior to that notification and had known in August that Christina was going to have to repeat the grade, giving her time to find a spot for her at PS 46 in Bayside. She did not want her daughter to repeat the grade at PS 162 because it was upsetting for Christina to remain in the school.
"True, she didn't meet the standings for this test, but it's seven points," LaForge said. "Does she have weaknesses? Yes, but she had the recommendations of her teachers and principal to move forward."
A city Department of Education spokesman wrote in an e-mail that superintendents have the final decision on promotions and "often there's a disagreement between the principal and superintendent."
"In this case a clerical error occurred, as a decision was mailed before the superintendent had a chance to review the student's portfolio," the spokesman wrote.
The DOE spokesman said the superintendent met with the LaForges for "almost an hour" to explain why the student was not ready for the sixth-grade, which he said was because of her low standardized test scores.
LaForge said while her daughter did have low scores, that should not be the only way in which to measure Christina's academic ability since she had the support of her teachers and principal to move on to the next grade.
Additionally, LaForge said she was not informed by school officials that her daughter was eligible last year to be placed in a special class that would have given her more individualized attention because of her learning disability and helped her pass the standardized test.
The city DOE did not return a request for comment about this.

Council merger could save £100m
Indeed. Besides who would get to choose who on the "consumer panels"? If the electorate that what the difference between the current councillor system and that? Other than the party politics. Which is inescapable. Or if not the electorate then surely not the council officers? Doesn't "consumer panel" sound a little but like "focus group"? Hand picked by the officers and guaranteed to nod their head when told to. Bit like an ALMO board member...!
Cameron: social tenants have nothing to fear
As long as local authorities like LB Southwark own 65% of all the residential properties in the borough, I don't think there is much chance of that happening DH. The municipalisation of much of London via the LCC and the GLC was in itself a form of social cleansing via an exercise in social engineering. "We will build the Tories out of London" said Herbert Morrison. If the State owns everything and tells people where they must live then is that not social cleansing as well? At least in a political sense? Of course it is. The pendulum swings both ways...
Four in 10 jobs could go at CLG
RH: "Even if 40% of ClG employees really do serve no useful purpose"
No they don't serve any useful purpose. In the '60s and '70's the State subsidised the British motor industry. It didn't make a profit and the cars were not very good. But the employees - unlike the CLG paper shufflers and their variants in local Government - did serve a useful purpose. They made things. Sold a few of them abroad as well. Not many but a few. Sorry but the NuLab public sector non-job creation scheme of the last decade served no useful purpose whatsoever. We had no tradesman left and had to import Poles to do the building work. Say if all those NuLab funded paper shufflers had taken up a useful trade instead? They might actually have been useful to the rest of us. As it is, they are not. So just get of rid of them.
Council merger could save £100m
CW: "what else are Councillors really for?"
In essence to hold the council officers to account and represent the will of the electorate. That's the theory anyway. The reality is that there are some really good councillors of all parties who can and do perform this role. Then there are the party liggers who just put their name down on the list and find themselves elected. Unfortunately the latter are in the majority. The herd (ie the electorate) tend to vote on party lines thus most councillors of all parties are duffers. It's altogether better to get to know the candidates and vote for the person, irrespective of party. Councillors have had huge decision making powers returned to them by this Administration; it is a good time to be a councillor. However as long as the old party system remains, the majority will still be duffers. Which is a shame. The herd need to learn not to vote on a party basis in local elections but rather vote for the individuals putting themselves forward. Not holding breath on this happening any time soon though...!
Council merger could save £100m
Interesting comment PSR. I believe it was a Newt plan to create 8 super boroughs in London so this would indeed be a move in such a direction. Eventually the Newt had to have a good idea. It looks like this was it. Islington of course are planning to "share" a CE with Camden of course so it looks like mergers are on the table all round. What about councillors though? Could there be a justification for each mega-borough to retain the same number of councillors as when they were separate? Expect tears before bedtime on this one...
Increased rents could build 15,000 homes a year
Well the 77 Housing Act created needs based allocation of course and that was the start of the inexorable and inevitable rise in the system gaming that is getting pregnant to secure a council flat. So yes, it would have been an issue in the Thatcher and Major eras as well. It just got worse under NuLab. All parties are equally complicit is not removing the perverse incentives inherent in this failed system of allocation I agree. In terms of "balanced and reasonable" it was not particulary reasonable to accuse the Tories of being Nazis as was your inference (very Rik from the Young Ones of course) so pointing out that the Gulags were actually creations of the Left was the obvious rebuttal...!
Boris to set up housing taskforce
"Ian Wingfield, deputy leader of Southwark Council, said: 'Rent collection will be a problem, people will not be able to pay and will be forced out of expensive areas into places like Southwark'."
Well with over 65% of all residential properties in the London Borough of Southwark being owned by err... the London Borough of Southwark what does the Deputy Leader expect? If you will hang onto a level of social housing that is nearly four times the national average, incurring a £775m to the national HRA at the same time, then what do you expect?
Wales confident assembly will not decimate housing budget
So plenty of social housing still to come in Wales then? Now that much of London is looking increasing "off the map" as regards free council flats and permanent benefits for life, perhaps the solution as to where to house London's future intergenerational welfare dependants and assorted third world immigrants with enormous taxpayer supported broods is Wales? Hope the valleys are ready for "multi-culturalism"...
Four in 10 jobs could go at CLG
Absolument! I know I am...
Increased rents could build 15,000 homes a year
The Gulags were originally invented by Comrade Stalin. His successor in ideology, Comrade Brown, had a pretty good go at recreating them over here using the twin weapons of "needs" based allocation and the local council's statutory duty to house the so-called "homeless" irrespective if they have any connection to the area or indeed this country whatsoever. Result: intergenerational welfare dependency, the highest rate of teen pregnancy in Europe created solely in order to game Comrade Brown's system and the modern day Gulag known as the council estate. Where nobody works and everyone is on welfare as the only group who could every get accepted to be housed on one are the welfare dependants. Nobody in work need apply; not enough self created "need" for said allocation. The modern day Gulags are entirely the product of NuLab, O Sparty One...

Yesterday while I was observing my hives, I noticed a drone walking in the grass. After looking around for several minutes, I found a handful of them walking around sort of in a stupor. Did not notice any workers in the same condition. They all seemed to be light colored (just emerged?) I could find nothing wrong with them - but they did not fly at all. I could not tell which hive they were from (I have 4) as they were all over the place and some were quite a distance from the hives.
I see nothing else even mildly interesting around, under, or on the front porch of the hives. Worker bees flying normally, nectar flow is clearly on.
Am going to look through hives at earliest good weather day - but am looking for ideas?

David Garrick yearned to have his name linked indissolubly with that of Shakespeare. This emotion produced the Jubilee in Stratford-upon-Avon that began with a cannon salvo at dawn on Sept. 6, 1769, and ended three days later when the rain-swollen river threatened to convert the scene into Stratford-under-Avon.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
I hate New Year's. But it seems to get off scot-free from criticism as a holiday. It's traditional to grouse about Christmas and to get some sort of nervous disorder--perhaps a puffy rash--as a result of spending Thanksgiving with family. And most of us wonder why we sleep late one Monday a year in honor of Columbus when, not only did he not discover America, but the movie made about him some years ago also did not do very well. New Year's, though--few people mention how painfully stupid it is.
For starters, January is not the beginning of the year. September is. A new year is not properly welcomed with champagne, corny toasts, and noisemakers, but with the purchase of fresh pencils, comfortable shoes, and a certain amount of plaid.
As a kid, December 31st was the night we went ice skating on a nearby pond with the Rosses. It sounds unsafe now, but I guess they had plenty of kids and it didn't matter much if one or two fell through the ice. After skating we went to the Rosses' and watched Guy Lombardo, stayed up all night, and got in trouble the next day for being cranky. Now, no Guy, no glory. Not to mention that--at this point in my life--sleep is the most pleasant celebration I can think of.
I've worked as a stand-up comic on New Year's Eve for the last 15 years. In the storage area of almost any nightclub there are cardboard boxes marked "New Year's." Those boxes contain the party hats, streamers, and noisemakers that were packed away 364 days before. Adding those party tools and one glass of bad champagne to an otherwise normal nightclub performance increases the ticket price by about 50 percent. The hats often have glitter--that could explain the cost.
It's a tough night to perform because I keep thinking I should be something bigger for the crowd. Everything feels a bit anti-climactic. I'm doing, of course, the same act I performed on the 30th. It's just that, on the 30th of December, I didn't feel so bad about not doing something bigger.
Often on New Year's Eve the nightclub puts a big clock on stage and insists I do a countdown starting the minute before midnight. The audience feels ripped off if I don't. One year I was telling a story that seemed like it might take a while, so I moved the hands of the clock. The whole room gasped.
Most years I do the goofy countdown right on schedule. Year after year there is a palpable letdown when it's over. It's like driving over the Alabama-Georgia border. There is no difference. Still, people insist on yelling and hooting and carrying on.
Then, of course, there's that post-hoot embarrassment, when people stop and slowly realize, "I've hooted really loudly in a public place, and now I'm not sure what to say or do." Post-hoot embarrassment is a sign of at least some intelligence. After all, hooting in football stadiums is not followed by post-hoot embarrassment.
This year I think New Year's hoots will be more hollow than usual. As we wait for our newly elected officials to take office, is anyone actually looking forward to 1995?
Well, I admit I look forward to 1995 a little, but only because my cat, Haskell, has been included in the 1995 Purina Celebrity Cat Calendar. She's November, so there's a lot of months to get through. Don't worry about me, I'm sure I'll fill in the time with some little activity. David Hasselhoff's cat looks embarrassed, by the way.
It's the resolutions that really make New Year's a lousy holiday. Each year I feel compelled to come up with resolutions I then fail to keep. Seven days into the new year I can't help noticing I haven't jogged, I still don't speak Spanish, I haven't memorized the location of one other country, and I'm still seven nights behind in reading every night. By January 8th I've already put my resolutions on back order for the next year, and I feel, once again, like my name has been entered into the Big Book of Losers.
I try to remember never to make the mistake of telling anyone my resolutions. Otherwise, three days into the new year, I'll be shoving a fudge-covered Oreo into my mouth and I'll hear, "I thought you were gonna go on a diet." And, with crumbs stuck to the corners of my mouth and my lips bulging to cover the cookie, I'll have to mumble, "I'm starting tomorrow."
This year, in order to harvest the good feelings of success, I'm making my resolutions more user friendly, better suited to my strengths. Last year I resolved to:
This year I swear I'm gonna work toward campaign reform.
A: Bill, I picked your question because I thought it would be easy. But most of the insect books at the library don't even list "daddy longlegs." The only thing I found is that they are also known as harvestmen.
I thought that was interesting, but the 20th time I heard, "You know, they're also known as harvestmen," in response to my question about the name "daddy long-legs," I realized that "you know, they're also known as harvestmen" is actually code for "beats the hell out of me."
I called the Los Angeles Zoo, but they didn't have an answer. They did offer to answer questions about tapirs, though. I'd like to extend the same offer to you, Bill.
Even experts are baffled. The "longlegs" is obvious, but I think it's time for me to guess about the "daddy." The male "daddy longlegs" has a penis (an image I'm not likely ever to forget). After he has sex with the female, which he does over and over in a brief span of time, the male defends the female until she lays the eggs.
I believe that the "daddy" is sort of a Mae West-Belle Watling-dime-a-dance-come-up-and-see-me-sometime kind of daddy. Not a sweet paternal folksy name, but more of a bump-and-grind "Big Ol' Daddy Longlegs" kind of handle. There was, however, no reference to this in the Oxford English Dictionary.
Lisa Hoferkamp, e-mail: Why is the number 13 considered unlucky?
A: I called the Salem Witch Museum around Halloween for an answer. It never occurred to me that it was their busiest time of year. They said that in trying to discredit women and pagan traditions, patriarchal Judeo-Christian religions gave the number 13 a bad name because there were 13 moons in a year and 13 cycles in a woman's menstrual year.
If they had realized that we women are scatterbrained and drive badly, the good name of 13 might not have been further besmirched. Still, it would be an uphill PR battle to get over the fact that Judas was the 13th apostle.
Even before Christianity, the Romans associated the number 13 with death. I don't know why. However, 1 p.m., the 13th hour, is the broadcast hour for "Another World," "The 700 Club," "Maury Povich," and "Suzanne Somers." The Romans may have had a point.
J.D. Alvarez, St. Louis: My roommate's cat, Zachary, has a fluffy tail, and he walks with it sticking straight up. I think Zach's behavior indicates he is proud of his tail. My friend, a veterinary student, says cats can't feel pride. What do you think?
A: J.D., I asked my vet your question. Brace yourself. My vet says cats don't feel pride. I guess I seemed upset, because he added that this is strictly scientific and that when owners anthropomorphize their pets, it's an indication of caring. Gee, when peacocks find out they'll be so ashamed.
I'm sure that's as far as science has gotten in the study of cats. I'm equally sure that my six cats have a wide variety of emotions; however, I don't like to say this to scientists, because I can just picture them in a lab somewhere purposely trying to hurt a cat's feelings.

Interesting research on civics education:
Nathaniel Leland Schwartz did a thesis called "Civic Disengagement: The Demise of the High School Civics Class" (Harvard senior thesis, 2002) describing a shift in civics education that occurred between 1960 and 1980, where "American Government" courses started being offered in place of "Civics" and "Problems of Democracy" courses. American Government classes were much more about learning facts like "How a Bill Becomes Law" and were originally viewed as a useful supplement to the more skills-based "Civics" or "Problems of Democracy" classes. His thesis suggests that simply requiring more schools to offer the type of civics education they are currently offering will be insufficient, unless the content changes to focus equally on developing the skills of civic engagement. Nathaniel Schwartz is planning on developing a shorter summary of his thesis for a magazine.
David Campbell's research shows interesting evidence of the staying powerful of the school climate on long-term civic involvement, as the students become adults. Some further description of civics education can be found in Campbell's paper in the Fall 2001 issue of Education Next, "Bowling Together."
Actor Richard Dreyfuss has taken up the cause of civic education; see "The Education of Richard Dreyfuss" (Boston Globe, 2/2/07) and "Actor Wants to Bring Back Civics" (ABC News, 12/3/06) for more information. Dreyfuss has also spoken on ABC's Real Time with Bill Maher and lectured on civics at Oxford University in England.

Louis Navellier - Will This Invisible Tech Revolution Turn Wall Street Upside Down Again?
Does anyone here subscribe to his newsletter? Is it AAPL?
Got this email today ...
This One Little Stock Could Make You 50% Richer in Six Months
Please add it to your holdings before it declares earnings October 20th.
Here?s why:
* The global slowdown has forced all companies to get lean and mean?trading workers for technology?and cloud computing offers one of the best ways a company can cut costs and improve productivity.
* In fact, according to Information Week, spending on cloud computing will absorb 40% of corporate IT budgets this year, jumping to 70% in the next three years.
* The market research firm IDC concurs that spending on cloud computing?which was $16.5 billion in 2009?will increase 27% annually for the next four years?that?s four times greater than the overall technology market.
As the market leader, our top-rated company will grab the lion?s share of profits and should breakout again when this quarter?s earnings numbers roll in.
As you?ll see, last quarter?s 48% sales growth, 128% earnings growth, and 12 month 116% profits are just a sneak preview of what?s headed your way.
Most investors will miss this locked-in profit opportunity. But you won?t when you join me here at Blue Chip Growth.
All I would say is there is plenty of time to witness the growth of the cloud. I use to sit in meetings when our young engineers talked about the cloud 20 yrs ago. The cloud is the area of the Internet beyond your control. The cloud is not new, it just works better. As far as Apple and the cloud they seem to have a very measured approach. They are definitely not a leader, but they have found the ability to monitize all their cloud efforts. IMO as the network bandwidth improves, the cloud as a storage medium becomes much more viable so I watch the average connection speeds as an indicator of the future. Network build out wether fixed or mobile will tell you what is possible. Places like Africa with no fixed infrasructure will rely on mobile for all connectivity, but if you look at place like Japan & Korea where 20 Mbps is common and the types of services available you can guess where the internet is moving.
I decline to comment on newsletters…maybe I'm just biased. But no, the mystery stock is not AAPL based on those teaser metrics.
The Summer of AAPL is here. Enjoy it (responsibly) while it lasts.
AFB Night Owl Team™
Thanks, Steve.
That stock more than probably is FFIV (F5 Networks)
My Dad subscribes to the newsletter. Navellier's a complete joker, although at least he has been banging on about AAPL for the past couple of years and my Dad has capitalised on it handsomely…
I'll find out which company it was and report back (unless someone beats me to it).

The Selecao legend has slammed football's governing body for prioritising earning money over creating a lasting legacy for the people of Brazil
The South American nation has been blighted by economic problems over recent years, with violent protests during the Confederations Cup taking place as a result of the Brazilian government's decision to raise tax rates in order to fund the two major football finals as well as the Olympics in 2016.
Romario has now vented his anger at Sepp Blatter and Fifa for prioritising profit from next summer's finals, rather than ensure plans are in place to leave a lasting legacy to improve social and economic problems in Brazil.
"Why are we organising the most expensive World Cup in history, without any of the benefits to the community we were promised," the 47-year-old fumed in his column for the Guardian.
"Meanwhile, Fifa has announced that it will make a €1.67 billion profit from Brazil's World Cup, tax-free. Its easy profit contrasts with the total lack of an effective legacy.
"I never thought the World Cup would solve all of our problems, but now my fear is that this mega event will only deepen the problems we already have."

Acme Hybrid Collection Hatch Brass Antimicrobial Rollerball Pen , The new ACME Hatch Hybrid Pen takes advantage of the innate properties of brass to create an antimicrobial surface. Within a few hours of interacting with brass ions bacteria and microorganisms perish which makes brass an excellent material to create a writing instrument that is handled often. The antiseptic quality of the Hatch Pen lends itself perfectly to situations where hygiene is a priority. The Hatch pattern engraved on the brass is intended to be an abstraction of cell structure demonstrating organic change.
Note that the pen is coated with a thin application of clear lacquer coating to give the impression of a highly polished pen. The lacquer slowly wears away over time exposing the raw brass and its antiseptic benefits.
The ACME Hatch Pen is designed by Karl Zahn - a freelance product and furniture designer whose work examines contemporary materials and historical technologies to create a hybrid model that are more applicable aesthetically pleasing and sustainable in our current society.

FAFSA forms must be filed every year.
Undergraduate level students must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours per semester to receive Institutional money. All students, undergraduate or graduate, must be enrolled at least half-time per semester to be eligible for student loans. (Half-time for Undergraduate level = 6 credits; Graduate level = 5 credits)
Effective for the 2015-16 academic year: For students living off-campus, the most institutional aid they can receive in one academic year is $9,000. If your housing changes, your award will be revised accordingly. Institutional aid includes, but are not limited to: academic scholarships, university grants, athletic grants or scholarships, and other performance-type scholarships. This cap does not include federal or state funds or loans. If you are considering moving off campus and have questions, please contact Bee Central.
There is no institutional aid for summer sessions. Federal Loans may be available if you are enrolled at least 1/2 time.
You are eligible for institutional financial aid for up to eight semesters, including semesters taken at other schools, before or after time spent at the university (i.e. if you transfer in as a junior, you will receive 4 semesters of institutional aid; or you attended St. Ambrose, left to attend another school, and then returned). This means that if you continue into a fifth year of classes, you will not be eligible for any institutional funds you may have received previously. (Institutional funds are those awarded by the university, not state, federal, or outside based scholarships or grants.)
All financial aid awards, including loans, are disbursed in two disbursements: one for the fall term and one for the spring term. If you are a first-time borrower, there is a 30-day hold on your first disbursement. Once the loan funds have been applied to your account and if you have awards in excess of your costs, you may receive a refund. Any other questions regarding your financial aid should be directed to the Financial Aid Office.
If you are receiving assistance under the work study program, you must understand that the amount shown on your award letter is the amount we expect you to earn during one academic year if you work all your allotted hours. Any additional earnings must be approved by your department supervisor and taken into consideration in your financial award package.
Part of the financial aid funds that St. Ambrose awards come from monies provided through the generous support of St. Ambrose University benefactors. Most endowed scholarships are meant to provide financial support for St. Ambrose University's academic and need based awards. Due to this, in some cases you may see a portion of your Academic Scholarship, for example, being replaced by a named endowed scholarship. The total dollar amount you receive between the two awards, however, will remain unchanged.
Recipients are chosen based on the criteria established by the donor, which include, but are not limited to: major, class rank, GPA, performance in a fine art, or residency. You may be contacted by the Advancement Office to write a thank you letter to the donor.

Date of Stay: October, 2008
We spent 3 days here during what is typically one of the busy times of year. It was apple season, and being a 15 minute drive from Apple Hill, the campground was pretty full. The site layout, customer service, activities for the kids (petting zoo, mini-golf, pool, play yard), and cleanliness were all above average. There are some full-timers, but they keep their lots very tidy. My only complaint is the fact that Highway 50 runs right behind the campground, and you hear the cars from 6 a.m. to around 10:00 p.m.. In fact, I would have given this place a 7, if it weren't for the noise. The sites towards the top of the campground seemed to be a bit quieter. Being that it's probably one of the nicest sites next to Apple Hill, we'll probably be back.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
Nice park to use a "home base" for visiting the central coast. The park itself is good, but it's the location & people that makes it worth coming back to. The positives: location (it's a short drive to the Pismo Dunes, SLO, Avila Beach), water slides for the kids in the park, playground, lot's of families, quiet, and tons of wildlife all around the grounds (we had several wild turkeys at our trailer everyday). Negatives: sites is pretty jammed tight, the showers could use more cleaning, speed limits don't seem to be enforced too well, and the swimming area wasn't too attractive. However, this was due to the drought, and I'm sure would be better with more winter rain. All and all, it's a pretty good campsite. We'll be back.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
We camped here over the 4th of July weekend, which is a good test on how well a campsite is maintained. First the positives: Location, within 1 hours driving distance to Yosemite Park, Mercer Caverns, Sonora, Lake Don Pedro, and minutes from Pine Mountain Lake. If you stayed on the grounds, the pool, playground and petting farm were a hit with the kids. There was also a really cool cave/former mine at the top of section C. I had limited interaction from the staff, but they seemed friendly, kept the place quiet and were helpful. Areas of improvement: The restrooms/showers were cleaned daily, but with the crowds, should be cleaned more often, as they got pretty dirty in between cleanings. Yes, it's dusty. However, I don't think there is much the owners can do about it. The rec room was closed, and some of the playing apparatuses were broken. Our site, and from the looks of things, many of the other sites, were not level. Our site was about 20 feet from our neighbor's hook-ups, and yes, we could see their big red sewer hose. The owners should plant some bushes or something. The pull-through sites seemed pretty tight. But our back-in site had plenty of room for our trailer, awning and a 10 x 10 pop-up canopy. Living just 3 hours from this Yosemite Pines, I'd stay here again. The kids really enjoyed it, which I guess is the whole purpose for going.
Date of Stay: March, 2008
This is a great little campground if you're going to be in the Monterey area. Very basic, but has full hookups, and is only minutes from the beach. Would typically rate a place like this a 6, but the camp hosts are so accommodating that I bumped it up to a 7. The Wi-Fi works fine if you're within 50' of the router, but drops off significantly beyond that. Do note, this campground is at the end of a runway, and jets shoot over your head all day long. Which usually isn't too bad since you spend most of the day touring Monterey. We've stayed here three times, and will certainly go back.
Date of Stay: March, 2008
Probably one of the best campgrounds in the state. Stayed in site 99, which was easy to back my 28' TT into. Not as loud as some of the previous reviewers have noted, but not silent either. There was an enormous area around the site where the kids could run around and hang with the other camper kids. They keep restrooms and showers clean and well stocked. We'll certainly stay here again.
Date of Stay: October, 2007
Yosemite National Park is one the most scenic places on earth; and being able to use the Upper Pines campground as your home base is ideal. You're right next to the free shuttle that takes you to all the hot sports, and only a 10 minute walk to Curry Village. The campsite itself is pretty primitive and a bit crowded, but it does quiet down after dinner. Potable water is nearby, and you're allowed to use generators (sparingly). The restrooms were clean, but no hot water. There are showers and a pool in Curry Village, if you don't mind a 10 minute walk.
Date of Stay: October, 2007
Great family oriented campground! Kids were running all around the place. We had a river site, which gave us a nice view to wake up to in the morning. Sites were level enough that we didn't need blocks. Tons of shade. The managers were accommodating, and ensured the place was quiet in the evening. There's a gate between Riverside and the neighboring campground which has a nice playground and basketball court, so the kids were able to walk over and play with other kids. Aside from that, there's not a whole lot to do at the campground, but plenty of nice beaches and hiking trails within a 10 minute drive. The sites are all pretty tight, which made pulling in and out with a 28' trailer a bit difficult. So once you're in, it's probably not worth your effort to pull out until you leave. The electrical and bathrooms need to be updated, and they little store could make a bundle if they stocked it better. But aside from that, I'd say it's a nice place to visit.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
Great Campground! Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy. Beautiful lake just across the road, where you can swim or fish. The general store had everything you need or may have forgotten at home. With no hook-ups it got a little noisy at times when other RVer's were using the generators, but aside from that, just the sounds of people talking and children playing. Although we were in a tend this time, it looked as if it would have been pretty easy to maneuver a travel trailer or RV. Will certainly go back.

When Joanna Brady's daughter, Jenny, stumbles across the body of her high school principal, Debra Highsmith, in the desert, the Cochise County sheriff's personal and professional worlds collide. Though she's tried to protect her children from the dangers of the grown-up world, the search for justice leads straight to her own door and forces her to face the possibility that her beloved daughter may be less perfect than she seems.
Yet the deeper Joanna digs, the more complications she uncovers. It seems the quiet, upstanding principal had a hidden past, full of mysterious secrets she'd successfully kept buried for years. As the seasoned sheriff juggles professional constraints and personal demands, she finds herself walking a fine line between justice and family that has never been so blurred.

"Extremely enjoyable"
Once again, J A Jance did not disappoint... the storyline kept me on my toes and I just wanted to get to the next chapter!
Dave P
"Classic Jance"
Love all of her stuff and this is well up to standard. Well read too. Some good tying up of old story lines.
"Fast moving and suspenseful story."
Great book. Narration excellent. Love this series! I especially liked the family dynamics and the mystery surrounding the sheriff's father's death.
I have loved all the Joanna Brady Mysteries and enjoy all the characters and personalities. Every new book I think is it going to be as good? but they just got better.
Has to be Joanna, she has had so many experiences to knock her down but she remains positive and proactive.
Joanna' mother giving her praise at the end of the aution
Joanna solves the puzzle again.
J.A. Jance please keep all your characters going and give us many more stories to enjoy and thanks for all the ones already published.
"Ops, They caught me. I thought I did it right!"
Loved the twists.
Yes, I finished it in 24 hours. The twists kept me guessing as to which way they would turn, and if I was right.
She became all the different characters.
Yes, I hated the step-brother because he could not or would not understand what the father was doing, and how much the sister gave up just for doing the right thing.
The fact that Joanna is still a tough Sheriff yet a wife and mother. She's dealing with one of the toughest type of crimes from both views.
Not so much on edge, but a typically good J.A. Jance story.
Just the reaction coming from a mother/grandmother viewpoint
"Surprising conclusion!"
The mingling of the colorful characters and their surprising roles in the story was most enjoyable.
The constant twist in the story kept me from solving the crime.
Hillary gave the characters individuality
I had to keep myself monitored from listening from start to finish in one sitting.
"Good Story But BAD Narrator"
The storyline was good and typical of what a small town sherriff would encounter. I liked the mix of Joanna's personal and professional life being weaved into the story. There were no real surprises or twists, just a narration of what a murder investigation is about to Joanna Brady.
No. The narrator is extremely bad. Distracted a lot from the story line. Perhaps if there was a different narrator I would recommend the book.
This narrator has a smarmy, bored, toneless narration. There was very little inflection. No voice characterizations of the different characters in the story, and her voice sounds like she is very bored and distracted. It sounds like she has no interest in telling the story. Smarmy, nasal, and bored are what comes to mind when I listen to the narrator's voice.
Why would you pick her to read a best seller? Surely there are better qualified narrators available. Was she picked because she works the cheapest? It is mystifying to me why audible would have a bad narrator read a good book.
Please be more careful in choosing narrators. Why in the world would you think this narrator would appeal to any listener??
Gang Mills Kathy
"Her Best Brady Novel Yet"
Jance quickly pulls you into this latest and best Joanna Brady novel. The interaction between Joanna and her family is an integral part of the story and revelations about the past offer insight into the present.
Joanna Brady and her family.
Yes, and I did.
J.A. Jance needs to write faster.
"Bad narator"
Good story.
Her voice seemed too 'cigarette and whiskey'.
No, the voice was distracting to me.
I love all of J A Jance, but will watch who the narrators are in the future!

Let's Talk About It series: 'Shiloh and Other Stories'
The Friends of the Library offer the third book in the Let's Talk About It series, "Shiloh and Other Stories," by Bobbie Mason from 4 to 6 p.m. Aug. 8 at the Haywood County Library in Waynesville. the discussion will be led by Dr. Russell Binkley of Western Carolina University.
Mason's book was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award, the American Book Award and the PEN/ Faulkner Award. The book won the 1983 Ernest Hemingway Foundation Award in 1983. Mason captures the speech pattern and lifestyle of western Kentucky as her characters confront social change in their rural environment.
"These stories will last," said Raymond Carver of "Shiloh and Other Stories"when it was first published, and almost two decades later this stunning fiction debut and winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award has become a modern American classic.
In Shiloh, Bobbie Ann Mason introduces us to her western Kentucky people and the lives they forge for themselves amid the ups and downs of contemporary American life, and she poignantly captures the growing pains of the New South in the lives of her characters as they come to terms with feminism, R-rated movies and video games.
"Bobbie Ann Mason is one of those rare writers who, by concentrating their attention on a few square miles of native turf, are able to open up new and surprisingly wide worlds for the delighted reader," said Robert Towers in "The New York Review of Books."
Binkley has been at WCU since 2004. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in curriculum and instruction; social studies education, an M.S., from Eastern Illinois University and a BA. Abilene Christian University.
Books are available free at the Waynesville branch of the Haywood Public Library from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. See Teresa Glance. The discussion will be in the auditorium of the Waynesville branch from 4 to 6 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Let's Talk About It is made possible by a grant from the North Carolina Humanities Council and the Friends of the Library. For more information, contact Linda Arnold at 456-5311 or email@example.com .

Hazard handed FA charge
CHELSEA star Eden Hazard has been charged by the FA for kicking Swansea ball-boy Charlie Morgan.
Hazard has been given until next Tuesday to respond to the violent conduct charge.
Although Hazard was sent off by referee Chris Foy following the incident, the FA have decided the automatic three-game ban the 22-year-old would normally receive is "clearly insufficient".
Hazard has been given until next Tuesday to respond to the violent conduct charge.
The FA also said they will "remind all clubs of their responsibilities in ensuring ball boys and other personnel around the pitch act in an appropriate manner".
Prior to the game, Morgan appeared to boast on Twitter that he would try to waste time during the game in order to aid Swansea's bid to reach Wembley.
