This week, Anthony Bourdain bundles up - then bundles up again - to head to the Great White North where he finds nostalgia for the cuisine ancienne in the French-speaking province of Quebec.
Amid the snow, ice fishing, rogue hockey games and beaver snaring, he finds a deeply impassioned community, hell-bent on preserving their francophone identity that is culturally, spiritually and linguistically different from the rest of Canada.
Chef Martin Picard of Au Pied de Cochon, and David McMillan and Frédéric Morin of Joe Beef share their pride and affection for the old world charm of their beloved land and show Bourdain how they honor the tradition of the French table.
As McMillan says, "You always have to travel well and eat properly."
Dive into the food that Bourdain and guests enjoy in the episode:
This green, herbal liqueur, nicknamed the "elixir of long life," has been made by Carthusian monks in the French Alps since the 18th century. The formula for this centuries-old spirit, made from approximately 130 herbs, plants and flowers, is so prized that no one monk knows the whole recipe; three monks are responsible for three separate parts of the recipe.
Choucroute garnie
Choucroute garnie, or "dressed sauerkraut," is a heaping platter of juniper-simmered sauerkraut, pork products and boiled potatoes. This hearty Alsatian dish is - in typical French fashion - meant to be served with a quality, whole-grain mustard. It's a meaty dose of comfort food for the frigid days of the Canadian winter.
Époisses de Bourgogne
Warning: This cheese is intensely stinky. What it has in odor, though, it matches in flavor. This French raw cow's milk cheese is intensely creamy with complex, salty and meaty flavors. Scoop it on a baguette and prepare to be knocked over.
Gateau Marjolaine
This classic, show-stopping rectangular cake alternates layers of hazelnut and almond meringue between chocolate buttercream. Fernand Point, chef of the legendary La Pyramide in Vienne, France, is credited with the creation and popularization of this ornate, multi-layered dessert.
Homard à la Parisienne
This dish gained traction via the Dinner of Three Emperors at Café Anglais in Paris, France, in 1867. The creation, by Adolphe Dugléré, features cold, boiled lobster served in its shell alongside vegetables in a creamy, mayonnaise-like dressing. The lobster is elaborately sliced; presentation is everything.
Lièvre à la royale
A wild hare (the "lièvre" part) is deboned and typically cooked in a jus of red wine, shallots, garlic, thyme and its own blood. The cooked hare is then set atop potato purée before the red wine-blood sauce is spooned over it. The whole dish is then lavishly garnished with slabs of seared foie gras and a shaving of black truffles. It's a rather royal affair, indeed.
Maple snow taffy
Also referred to as "sugar on snow," maple syrup is heated then poured over packed snow or shaved ice. As the hot syrup drizzles down the snow, it hardens into a chewy, taffy-like consistency before being twisted onto a wooden Popsicle stick for sucking and chewing. Sweet!
Oeufs en gelée
This vintage dish of poached eggs in aspic (a clear gelatin) is a cold buffet classic.
Sole meunière
Mild, sweet Dover sole is pan-fried in brown butter. In old-school establishments, the fish is typically sautéed and filleted tableside. Serve with lemon wedges and let the delicate flakes melt in your mouth.
This is Quebec's version of a savory, stick-to-your-ribs meat pie. Minced, spiced meat is covered and baked into a flaky, buttery crust. The dish is named such because it was originally made with tourte, or passenger pigeon, which has since become extinct. Nowadays, most variations of tourtière use ground pork and are typically served during the winter holidays. Eat, drink and be meaty!

In our paintball paint section we carry three main brands of paintballs, reusable paintball practice rounds and paintball grenades. All of our paintballs come from the best manufacturers and these high quality paintball paints are really designed to break on impact on other players and not in your paintball marker. If you buy cheap paintball paint you are more likely to need to use your squeegee to clean out our paintball marker and barrel but our paintball paints will improve your speed and efficiency by breaking when they are supposed to - on your opponent. Remember that here at Compulsive Paintball we have experience you can count on.
Paintballs are really just simple round balls with a gelatinous skin and a dyed liquid center. The paint is specifically made to be non-toxic and safe to ingest and to leave a large bright spot on a target so you can clearly see what has been hit. If you play paintball at a commercial paintball field, they will provide paintballs for you. If you play on your own, you will find many more options and you need to shop according to the size or caliber of your paint marker, the weather conditions in which you'll be using the paintballs and the type that work best with your gun. Some of this may be best done through trial and error with various manufacturers to see if any one paintball improves accuracy and is less likely to break in your barrel. (Also remember that ceramic barrels, although somewhat more delicate are self-cleaning!) Once you establish the size of your paintball marker barrel and whether your marker works best with oilier paintballs or with paintballs of a specific manufacturer your choice will be simple. A side note: make sure if you buy in bulk you know how to store your paintballs!

Last year proved to be another rough one for markets as geopolitical factors kept traders on their toes. In addition to a continuation of the sovereign debt problems that have plagued Europe for the last couple of years, we saw the Federal Reserve expand its quantitative easing programs as growth in the United States remained anemic at best.
With 2013 upon us, we asked analysts to look ahead and discern which markets they saw as having potential to outperform in the New Year. As it turns out, to look ahead requires a brief look back because most analysts see a continuation of 2012's problems into next year.
According to Joseph Trevisani, FX analyst at World Wide Markets, most markets are trading in a risk-on/risk-off world primarily because of central bank actions. "The traditional trend drivers are pretty much moribund until the central banks end their zero interest rate policy. It's become the universal panacea that doesn't make anything actually better," he says. "That's what we're still going to be trading on in 2013."
In its December Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) meeting, the Federal Reserve adjusted its parameters for changing interest rates by attaching unemployment and inflation targets as policy objectives whereas previously the promise of low interest rates was linked to a time horizon. In the press conference following the meeting, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke explained the change saying, "We think it's a better form of communication. The date-based guidance served a purpose, but that was a nontransparent process."
That change in policy should give traders greater insight into when the Fed may adjust interest rates. "If we get better than expected economic growth or numbers, that will be bad for the markets because it could indicate the Fed will begin to pare back its quantitative easing," says Keith Springer, president of Springer Financial Advisors. "My belief is that it is going to be worse because they wouldn't have just expanded QE if they saw good things on the horizon."
Given the forecast for 2013, Springer is bullish precious metals and dividend stocks. His top play for 2013 is to buy gold. "Continued printing by the Fed should push gold higher. I could see gold at $2,000 an ounce sometime next year," he says.
As to dividend stocks, Springer is looked at preferred shares over Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs). "Those types of stocks will do better in a down market. We're expecting a bear market next year," he says. "We've already had four years of a bull market in the face of economic stimulus and bed economic growth. We are due for a recession."
Kurt Kinker, chief market analyst at Mirus Futures, concurs with Springer's assessment of the U.S. economy, but disagrees about how markets may react. "I could see a disconnect between the stock market and the economy," he says. "If the economy were to deteriorate or even go into a recession, I'm not sure it would have the expected impact on the [stock] market. Right now we are through resistance, so the path of least resistance is up."
Kinker is looking for a bull market in stocks next year and has the S&P 500 as his top pick for 2013. "The S&P 500 is the one that will see the biggest move higher. Initially, 1505 is my target," he says. "If it was to get through that, especially decisively, we easily could move up to the 1550-1560s, which would be pretty close to all-time highs. That would be the big 'Can the market do it?' point."
In contrast to both Springer and Kinker, Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak & Co., expects the U.S. economy to strengthen next year. "I'm probably at odds with a lot of people that just see tepid recovery," he says. "As the U.S. economy builds steam, you're going to see a change in interest rate expectations. My big trade for the New Year is a central bank trade which would be to play calendar spreads on Eurodollars and Euribors."
Wilkinson expects that opportunity to develop as the growth differential widens dramatically between an austerity bitten Eurozone and a slowly recovering United States. "While the FOMC probably is quite a ways from taking away the punch bowl, I feel there's a very good opportunity for interest rate markets to run the Fed's thought process and for the yield curve to steepen," he says. "The Fed's main unemployment objective is still probably three years away, but if the trend turns favorable, you're going to see investors react negatively in yield terms to incrementally higher payroll reports."
Given that, Wilkinson is touting a calendar spread with four legs: Long the near expiration and short the further out expiration in Eurodollars; short the near expiration and long the further out expiration on the Euribor curve.
In currencies, Trevisani says 2012 presented a trading environment not encountered before in foreign exchange. "There's been a fair amount of price volatility, but there is absolutely no trend. If you look at where we were at the beginning of the year compared to now, there's been almost no change," he says. "I expect that to continue if there are no surprise central bank moves."
He expects the Australian dollar to outperform other currencies, mostly because of expectations for growth to continue in China and the risk-on paradigm to continue. "The opportunities for the first quarter or so are in the Australian dollar and those types of currencies," he says. "China has new rulers that appear to be willing to spend money to keep things rolling for a bit. Even if you don't get recovery in the rest of the world, certainly for the first couple of quarters the Chinese will keep things rolling, as long as they have enough money to do it."
Trevisani expects the Aussie to strengthen through the first quarter and maybe into the second quarter. His price target in the AUD/USD is 1.08-1.10, and is his top play for the first six months of 2013.
Growing grain anticipation
Following the historic drought recorded this past summer, anticipation is mounting as to how the grain markets will perform in 2013. "[The drought] is one of those factors that from a pure fundamental perspective should lead to good underlying support in the markets. That's sort of where the market for corn in particular is being caught off guard by this push of weakness we've seen recently," says Randy Mittelstaedt, vice president , research for R.J. O'Brien & Associates.
Mittelstaedt says two things are happening in the grains complex. "We have a focus on very negative demand for U.S. corn, which has been the overriding fundamental for the last couple of months," he says. "And, we have a situation in soybeans that is just the opposite, where we have phenomenal demand at current price levels that is being tempered by what is looking like a (possible) massive South American crop. We're kind of at differing ends of focus between corn and beans."
In both corn and soybeans, assuming normal weather, he expects to see significant increases in production, although he doubts demand will increase with that production. "Anytime you're coming off a historic situation like we are this year with the drought, the longer-term outlook has to be to the downside in the coming year," he says.
At the moment, Mittelstaedt says new-crop corn could see $5.00 per bushel and maybe lower, and soybeans should return to the $12 handle in the November contract, with the caveat of with normal weather.
In the short-term, though, Mittelstaedt says to watch the Jan. 11 WASDE (World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates) report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "There is no more important set of numbers for the grain market than those Jan. 11 numbers. If we get a bullish surprise on corn stocks, then all this negative talk goes away for the time being," he says.
Although he agrees that 2012's drought caused tight supplies in the grains, Shawn Hackett, president of Hackett Financial Advisors, sees its impact on grains dissipating over time. Instead, in 2013 Hackett is watching the soft ags and cattle, markets that typically have longer cycles.
In the softs, Hackett says 2012 was the year of the surplus, but now prices have fallen in nearly every instance to below the cost to produce them. "A year from now, we will be talking about tight supplies in nearly the entire softs complex. Weather will determine if they are still adequate or if they will be too tight," he says. "Where the grains likely are looking at much more supplies a year from now, the soft ags have fallen so dramatically that we've likely priced in most of the surplus."
Within the softs, Hackett is most bullish on coffee because he says the fundamentals for coffee likely will tighten first compared to other markets where surplus are much higher. "There's a possibility that we could see coffee going to $2.00, and it could see $2.50 if we have weather problems in Vietnam or Brazil," he says.
The second market Hackett is expecting to outperform is cattle. "The drought effect will be leaving the grains and entering the livestock markets. The herd liquidation has already taken place," he says. "The lower supplies are coming due to the fact that we slaughtered so many animals because of the tighter economics. This suggests we'll be entering a period of significantly tighter supplies of beef, pork and dairy."
He explains that cattle has a much longer cycle than the other meats. Where hogs can see a turnaround in the herd in about six months, and even less than that for chickens, it is a couple of years for cattle. "The only way to get through the next couple of years will be to get prices high enough that people stop going to steak houses," he says.
Hackett expects live cattle to go to record highs in 2013 with a price target above $1.50 per pound, but says that if we have more heat or dryness over the summer, we could get to $1.80.
Although 2012 is a year many are happy to see behind us, a lot of the same problems seem poised to follow us into 2013. Nonetheless, opportunities can be found.

A Cleveland startup called Plotter, a social mapping app, was one of the Grand Prize winners in the SXSW Accelerator program, part of the South by Southwest Interactive festival in Austin, Texas.
Plotter won in the "social technologies" category.
"If you want to know where to go once you arrive at your destination, Plotter (Social) has designed a social mapping app that lets you easily create, share, crowdsource and discover maps on your phone," according to the post on the South by Southwest blog announcing the winners. The post includes a photo of the Plotter staff.The Plain Dealer reports that Chris Jungjohann, chief operating officer and co-founder of both Plotter LLC and Recess Creative, said his co-founder, Tom Nolan, came up with the idea a year ago while attending South by Southwest."Friends of his had given him recommendations to check out bars and restaurants and he started thinking there's got to be a better way to do this," Mr. Jungjohann tells the newspaper. "There should be a way to map out multiple locations sourced from friends and bring it up on a mobile phone."The Plotter app is available now on Apple's iTunes store. It has started to get attention in the tech press; this March 8 story on Mashable.com provides a good overview of how Plotter works.Attention from the SXSW Accelerator program is a big deal. The Plain Dealer notes that in years past, winners have included now-familiar names such as Foursquare and Twitter.
It turns out to be a good week for young Northeast Ohio tech companies.Lakewood Patch reports that DecisionDesk — a company formerly known as CitizenGroove that moved to Lakewood last year — "is already looking to expand, thanks to a big boost from the Ohio Department of Development."The assistance, $750,000, comes from the state's Innovation Ohio Loan Fund, according to Lakewood Patch.DecisionDesk provides a network to allow music schools and universities to manage video applications. Lakewood Patch says there are seven employees at the company now, but the state money is expected to enable it to hire up to 38 people in the next two years. DecisionDesk also is expected to buy new machinery and equipment, as well as undertake "capitalizable" software development, according to the story.Lakewood Patch says more than 100 schools nationwide — including Julliard, the University of Michigan and Oberlin — use the DecisionDesk system.
Mike Berlin, founder and a managing member of Briteskies, an e-commerce software company in Cleveland, writes a helpful piece on Forbes.com about the value of business leaders planning for a catastrophic health emergency."We often watch as other people face health scares, family care challenges, or sudden accidents and think to ourselves, how terrible for them, but it will never happen to me," he writes. "I learned this lesson the hard way."Having suffered from Crohn's disease since his 20s, Mr. Berlin writes, "I should have seen something coming and planned for it. Yet I didn't. On Easter Sunday 2011, a fever of 106 degrees, caused by numerous serious side effects from my disease, landed me in the hospital for 30 days and snowballed into two surgeries, one of which took nine and a half hours, and an unexpected five-month absence from the company I founded."Mr. Berlin writes that he learned "four valuable lessons" from the experience:

Building Hampshire's Olympic legacy - 2013 Hampshire Talented Athletes announced
Monday, 25 February 2013
The successful applicants for the Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme (HTAS) 2013 have been announced with 218 athletes from across the county set to receive support this year.
The scheme, which is funded by Hampshire County Council and administered by the County Council in partnership with Sport Hampshire & IOW, helps rising sports stars reach their sporting potential, and achieve success on the world class stage.
Athletes receive a range of benefits including help with training, equipment, physiotherapy, grants up to £400 and travel. Free bus passes are provided from local bus companies Bluestar, First and Stagecoach, as well as sports science support from Southampton Solent University.
HTAS aims to help with some of the sacrifices that athletes and their families have to make and support them with their dedicated commitment to their respective sport. At a time when costs associated with training and competition are on the increase the scheme can be a vital support on the way to European and World Championships and for some, the Olympics and Paralympics in Rio in 2016. The scheme is seen by many current and previous recipients as a much needed injection of support.
Since it began in 2008, over 700 of Hampshire's most promising sportsmen and women have received funding, including Olympic gold medallist Dani King. Many more athletes benefit from free access to training facilities.
Councillor Ken Thornber, Leader of Hampshire County Council, said: "Following the success of so many Hampshire athletes at the London 2012 Games, it is fantastic to see even more athletes than ever before receiving support from the Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme. The Olympics may be behind us, but they have left an amazing legacy not only in Hampshire, but throughout the country as a whole. The achievements of Team GB Olympic and Paralympic athletes have inspired the nation, as well as helping to change public perceptions around disability, and wider health and wellbeing issues. The Hampshire Talented Athletes Scheme enables promising athletes to achieve their goals by benefiting from first class facilities thanks to support from local businesses. The costs of competing at this level are very high, and the margins between winning and losing are incredibly small. The Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme goes a long way to providing much needed support to the committed, talented and determined sportsmen and women. We are delighted to be helping another group of athletes achieve their goals in 2013."

The latest generation common rail system has one high-pressure pump and one rail per cylinder bank. The maximum injection pressure is 1,600 bar, 250 bar more than previous common rail systems. When piezo injectors are used for injection, a voltage is applied to ceramic, which changes its crystal structures. The result is a minimal geometric change, which mechanically triggers the opening of the injector needle. The use of piezo injectors makes it possible to reduce the moving mass at the injector needle from 16 to 4 grams in each case. This enables considerably smaller and more precisely metered injection quantities. At the same time, piezo technology allows a higher injector needle speed.
The number of injection processes per combustion cycles can thus be varied almost at will. The 3.0 V6 TDI engine, for example, has up to five injection processes: in addition to the main injection process, double pilot injection takes place at the lower end of the speed range and single pilot injection in the medium speed range. On top of this, single post-injection takes place up to around 2,500 rpm and at maximum part-load. This reduces emissions and ensures a smoother combustion process.

About Mercedes Benz S350
Part of the W220 family of vehicles, the Mercedes Benz S350 was truly a special model from Mercedes Benz USA. In fact, the 'S' title comes from the German word for the vehicle "Sonderklasse" or specialty vehicle as it translates in English. Some of the S350 original parts include 4matic all wheel drive on all models made after 2003, Active Ventilated Seats, and Disctronic cruise control. Some of the options you could choose with the S350 were keyless entry and ignition as well as Active Cylinder Control.

Welcome to our world of fun trivia quizzes and quiz games: New Player Play Now! |
Who's the Smartest? : Team v Team Points YesterdayThe following chart displays the teams that have the most team points in this game yesterday. Players earn contributing points for their team daily in the following fashion:1. The top 200 scores in each league (large, medium, small) earn TvT points each day. Since this is an hourly game, each player's score for the day is his/her highest score over the 24 hour period. 2. Any given team can only have a limited number of players in the top 200 each day, where the limit is 15 for large teams, 10 for medium teams, 7 for small teams. We take the 15/10/7 highest scores per team and rank them against one another. This prevents a single team from dominating on sheer size alone. |
World Bibliophiles Unite Top scores yesterday in the league. Ties are broken by total number of points earned in the 24 hr period in this game.

What do you think about the 2013 Worth Copperhead: YBCH50 Youth ? |
or Cancel |
9 Product Reviews
Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2013 Worth Copperhead: YBCH50 Youth? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A QuestionI am holding the Easton YB13MG and the Worth YBCH50? Both are 30" 20 oz. Are these basically the same bats or am i missing something? Same size sweet spot, materials, etc.?
The 2013 Worth Copperhead: YBCH50 Youth and 2013 Easton Magnum: YB13MG Youth are very comparable in terms of performance, durability, swing weight and size. The Copperhead is less tapered than the Magnum, giving it a slightly larger sweet spot.
I can't find this bat locally. My 6 year old is playing in All Stars and needs a bat no longer than 27". I like this Worth. Could you help, Worth, COMbat B1,B2,or suggest one? Thank you.
The 2013 Worth Copperhead: YBCH50 Youth is an excellent choice for the price. We recommend a 26" 16 oz. for his age.
How does this compare to the Easton Reflex or DeMarini Vengeance?
The 2013 Worth Copperhead: YBCH50 Youth will handle similarly to both the Easton Reflex. The Reflex will be 3 oz. lighter for the same given length and will have a stiffer swing overall.
Product Description
New for 2013! The Worth Copperhead has been one of the best-selling affordable youth bats for years. This season, Worth has beefed up the Copperhead with all of their popular technology to truly give players, parents, and coaches the most bang for their buck! An extended barrel and optimized wall thickness make this bat ideal for players looking for a balance of performance and durability. This one-piece fully aluminum design features Worth's Whiplash Technology that creates a 30% thinner taper than other brands. This reduces the bat's swing weight and increases the player's swing speed; a vital quality for younger players. The Copperhead also features Worth's X-Tended Sweetspot that is made possible by extending the barrel 1-2" in length, creating the largest sweetspot in aluminum bats. This bat is topped off with a Center Load End Plug that is designed to allow barrel flexibility and produce 5% more inertia to drive through the ball. With a new Tech Grip, the Copperhead will reduce sting and give players an incredible feeling swing, every single time up. Worth: A Century of Excellence! The Copperhead is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and USSSA. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
About Worth
Thank you very much. I coach a Little League team and I am on the board for our leage. I will be sure to let everyone know how nice it has been to do business with you.

Snow falling in Oklahoma just days after huge storm |
Friday, 04 February 2011 21:45 | |||
Snow is falling across southern Oklahoma just days after a huge storm dumped up to 20 inches in parts of the state. Hugo City Hall opened Friday morning and should remain open until 4 p.m. The city is coordinating highway improvement efforts with the state, but the majority of the equipment has been sent to Tulsa and surrounding areas. City manager Jeff Rabon said he wanted to commend the city employees and the street crews for their efforts this week, "They have done an outstanding job," Rabon said. Choctaw County schools have been closed for four consecutive days and homecoming festivities planned for the weekend will be rescheduled due to the inclement weather. National Weather Service meteorologist Cheryl Sharp in Norman said two inches had been recorded in Durant early Friday and that total accumulation could reach three to four inches. Sharp said the snow could reach as far north as Oklahoma City — but that accumulation would be less than one inch. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation reports roads in northeastern Oklahoma remain snow packed and slick from the storm that began Tuesday. ODOT says the snow is melting during the day then refreezing at night — making travel hazardous especially in the morning. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol reports roads are slick and hazardous in most of the eastern half of the state. Four fatalities are attributed to the winter storm, according to the Oklahoma Office of the State Medical Examiner and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. A 20-year-old Moore woman died Tuesday following a sledding accident. Cause of death was multiple blunt force trauma to the head. Three people died this morning after the vehicle they were occupants in went off the Spring River Bridge on the Will Rogers Turnpike. Five other occupants in the vehicle were injured in the crash. Temperatures remain cold through Friday with a slight warm up over the weekend. Arctic air returns to the State on Monday. There is a slight chance of snow late this weekend with limited impacts. A more significant system is possible next which may impact next week. For Oklahoma residents seeking non-emergency disaster or health and human service information, please contact your local 2-1-1. Services are available 24 hours a day by dialing 2-1-1 from your home or cellular telephone. Please only call 911 for emergencies.

Stuck in a one-look rut? Debut a collection of captivating new coiffures by experimenting with styling products.
Want flirty blonde, auburn or caramel highlights, but just for one day? Brush on highlighting mousse to hair that's already been shampooed and dried. Within minutes your tresses will shimmer with multi-dimensional color. At evening's end, simply wash out.
Tired of straightening your kinky locks? Instead celebrate those curls. Use styling products that are formulated to deeply hydrate and define your ringlets, giving you a mesmerizing shine and bounce that is sure to turn heads.
Unveiling a new outfit that deserves hair that's equally fabulous? Volumize! These boosting styling products do more than lift flat hair. They infuse shafts with moisture to thicken the diameter of each strand. Lightweight formulations provide a hold that is durable without leaving a sticky residue, so hair can be brushed through. Many volumizing foams, gels and sprays also lock in color and shield hair from sun damage.
The best pick-me-up for tired hair is to make it gleam. Shine-enhancing products work to repair and seal the cuticle, making the hair smooth and able to reflect light. Look for creams, oils and spray shines that contain botanical ingredients to give your hair a luminous, natural glimmer.

CURRENT ISSUEDecember 2013Healthcare was already a huge mess before Obamacare, and for the same basic reason: State intervention. While nobody expected quite the fiasco that Obamacare's launch proved to be, we knew it would not end well. In this issue, Merrill Matthews explains what was wrong before, and why Obamacare was one of the worst possible ways to address the problems. John Ross and Jordan Bruneau describe two different attempts to address the previous healthcare system's shortcomings. One, Remote Area Medical, has seen its efforts to provide free vision and dental care impeded by bureaucrats even in the wake of disasters. The other, Dr. Keith Smith's Surgery Center of Oklahoma, threatened insurers' and providers' cozy setup with genuine price competition and transparency.

Expert Service 1-877-289-7664 [Extended Holiday Hours]
5-Channel or more Amps Information |
A 5-channel amplifier is a popular option among people who want to enjoy a complete upgraded audio system. Most 5-channel amps consist of a four class A/B channels, designed to power door speakers, as well as a fifth class D subwoofer channel housed in the same chassis. This can dramatically reduce the amount of trunk space dedicated to the audio system for this reason, 5-channels are the amplifiers of choice for many stealth or hidden installations, and in other installations where space is at a minimum. Although these amplifiers generally do not push as much power as separate 4-channel and monoblock amps would be capable of, the amount of power provided is enough to run most aftermarket car speakers and usually provide enough power to the subwoofers to satisfy most listeners. Although less popular than 5-channel models, 6-channel amps are a great choice for powering a complete audio system, particularly in larger vehicles like RVs, buses, and even boats. These amplifiers feature 6 channels of audio output, which are usually all either class A/B or class D. In most cases, each pair of Right/Left outputs can be bridged to add a subwoofer or larger speaker. In a standard 6-channel configuration these amplifiers will easily power 3 pairs of speakers. Audiophiles appreciate these amplifiers for their use in bi-amp configurations, where the front woofers and front tweeters are powered independently. |

Comic Collector Live:
No More limits for any comic book purchased! We have listened to our customers and have now done away with any limit on the amount of comic books, whether you purchase a single issue or wish to buy ten issues of the same number; we have done away with the restrictions(please disregard any notices that limits the amount of comics that can be purchased). This will now reward those who frequent our shop and or check back with us often and we thank you for the business. We only ask that you please adhere to our shipping tiers so we can make each transaction as smooth as possible. If you need any clarification on any shipping, please drop us a line and we'll respond promptly. Example of this challenge would be: 15-20 issues of DC Comics Presents 100 Page Spectacular would not fit into a envelope so the boxed shipping would have to be chosen.
1,000s Of Comics From 2003-Current Discounted As Low As 49¢ Each
We offer new comics at 50-75% off the cover price as our daily pricing. This discount is more than we actually receive for ordering the comics through our distributor. These comics will be in at least VF/NM to NM/unused and non-shelved condition, just like every comic we post monthly. These comics will be no different or in less condition than any of our stock already posted for sale or sold in the past. Therefore bags and boards will not be included with our comics when shipped.
If condition is of utmost importance we strongly suggest you use the priority mail boxed shipping option and not the priority mail flat rate envelope option. The post office has informed us we can no longer ship comic books via media mail and would be in violation of their rules and regulations. We cannot offer these low prices and absorb the additional costs of shipping boxed and or bag and boards. We do offer bag and board combos for a small additional fee.
Please note that since we deal with tens of thousands of items every day, outages will unfortunately occur. While we hope these occurrences are far and few they are part of doing business. We lose money on most items we post on CCL and do try and sell items elsewhere. When we do sell out we try and delete the current listings in a timely manner, but shortages will happen. Please post a small message with your order should you want us to cancel the order if we cannot pull the order in its entirety.
To keep our comic books at the lowest prices on the Web, we do not sleeve our comics are for transport. Anyone who wishes to have the comics bag and boarded, we will now add the option for 15¢ per comic. We will add a new shipping field to include this option.
New shipping terms:
The post office has now officially informed us that we may no longer ship comic books and or related material that have any type of advertising present within its pages, by way of media mail. The post office issued us a formal letter stating shipping comic books goes against their shipping policies and the post office will bar us from using their services should it happen again. We have removed the media mail selection. Most comics will ship by way of priority mail, which we will absorb some of the cost, but unfortunately shipping costs will now be higher due to our low posted pricing on new comics. We do apologize for any inconvenience but in order to continue to keep our new comic pricing very low and to able to still ship comic books across the country, we will have to abide to the post office policy. We appreciate your understanding the matter. We will still offer free shipping plateaus based on spending amounts.
Condition report: It has become an ongoing challenge with UPS to have our comics arrive in conditions that would still be a grade to sell. Packages are so damaged upon arrival, we cringe when opening the boxes to see the damage. These past 2 weeks saw most of our shipments damaged and replacements were promised. As a result we are offering many Marvel and DC New Arrivals this week at only 99¢ each, regardless of cover price. Most titles will be posted by Thursday night). Conditions are VF/NM with the most damage in the form of large corner dings. Please limit 1 copy per order for the 1st week so we may offer this special pricing to as many customers as possible.
Please note: many of the New Arrivals we just posted are graded at VF/NM condition. We feel most comics would grade at a better NM- to NM, we have had some complaints about our grading scale. We have elected to downgrade our New Comics to reflect this change. Anyone who has purchased from us before will find the new comics in the same condition as previous orders and thank all for their patience.
Hello, yes we would absolutely accept your money order(please no checks) as alternative form of payment and can only ship to USA mailing addresses! We just ask to please have payment made within five days of order posting/completion. Please make money orders payable only to Charles Pira and mail payment directly to Charles Pira 28925 Timberlane St Agoura Hills CA 91301. Please make payment only in the name of Charles Pira. We cannot deposit the money order under any other name and please remember to add sales tax and shipping fees where needed. Thank you!
Thank you
Please note: we have had some negative comments on our grading scale of the new arrivals. In these last few months we have seen a major decline in the handling of our comics, both from the packing at Diamond Comic Dist. hubs to shipping & handling from UPS. Many comics come in damaged in the form of edge, corner wear and spine stressor wear. UPS places the boxes on the ends so the comics are crushed under the weight. There are times we cannot replace the copies so we forced sell them as is. Near Mint- will often reflect these defects on the comics. If anyone is strict on their grading and would like Near Mint or better condition for these comics, we would advise not to purchase from us. Everyone who has purchased comics from us in the past two years already knows the conditions of our comics and will continue to receive comics in the same grade. We do not bag and board our comics to help keep costs of free shipping and the low pricing of our New Comics.
We are always buying collectible and old stuff! Check out our "flyer" at the bottom of this posting.
Please Note: Most comic books will be discounted, while trades and graphic novels will not. Should you come across any trades and or graphic novels at 99¢, these most likely be a pricing error and not subject to the sale price of 99¢.
We are always looking to buy most anything that is related to Comic books, movies, TV series or action figure/Toy lines from the years 1930s to the 1980s. We have posted a small list of some of the items we are always looking to buy. The larger the collection the better.
Hot Wheels, toys, Action figures, Star Wars, Star Trek, Mego Dolls, GI Joe big and small, Transformers, Sfi Fi, posters, magazines, non sport trading card(no sport trading cards), Disney, original artwork of anything posted here, all model kits through the 1970s(unbuilt), movie or TV related memorabilia and much more!
Thank you all for your support these past years as you have helped us grow our comic business to reach another level.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, defended Sunday former Sen. Chuck Hagel, President Barack Obama's nominee for defense secretary, on CNN's "State of the Union." Hagel faced tough questioning at Senate confirmation hearings last week.
The top military officials also weighed in on the 2014 drawdown in Afghanistan, saying the troop withdrawal will largely depend on the strength of the country's security forces.
Hagel was sharply criticized by some senators for seeming ill-prepared for the hours-long grilling on Thursday.
"These hearings are tough, and, especially when everybody is targeting you," Panetta said. "I guess I was really disappointed that a lot of that hearing focused on the past, as opposed to the challenges that a secretary of defense has to confront."
Hagel has taken heat for previous positions and statements, in particular his opposition to unilateral sanctions against Iran and his refusal to sign letters of solidarity with Israel. The former Republican senator from Nebraska said during the hearings that he supports the president's sanctions strategy against Iran and argued he was a fierce defender of Israel.
Panetta said he wished the hearings had covered more ground than just Hagel's controversial statements from the past.
"There are a number of areas that simply were not that well covered, that deal with what a secretary of defense has to do. And that concerned me," he told CNN's chief political correspondent Candy Crowley.
As examples, he mentioned the war in Afghanistan, budgetary problems in the military, challenges in the Middle East, and cyberthreats.
Dempsey agreed with Panetta on what was missing from the hearings. "And in my contacts with the senator, Sen. Hagel, and his preparations, I found him to be very thoughtful and very well prepared and very interested."
"And so if he's confirmed, I'm sure that we'll establish a very close working relationship," Dempsey said.
The Senate could vote on Hagel's confirmation on Thursday, Sen. Mark Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told reporters last week.
Asked if he thought Hagel was prepared, Panetta didn't give a "yes" or "no" answer but said Hagel understands "the issues at the Defense Department, and I think he'll be a great secretary of defense."
Last Sunday, former CIA Director Michael Hayden argued the president's new defense team thinks "more like" him on foreign policy issues.
"This is going to be a team that might not push back as much with regard to cuts or withdrawals or smaller footprints or reluctance to deal with big footprints into new areas," Hayden said on "State of the Union."
Panetta disagreed, saying he expects Secretary of State John Kerry and Hagel to "push back on the issues."
"In the Situation Room, everybody has to give their honest views," he said. "And I think they won't hesitate to give their honest views."
As for expectations of the drawdown in Afghanistan after 2014, Dempsey said he hasn't heard anyone suggest that all 60,000 U.S. troops would be pulled immediately.
"No one has ever suggested zero to me," he said. "(Gen.) John Allen has got a very well thought out campaign plan. ... Retrograde, we've got a pretty significant challenge of getting ourselves out of Afghanistan in terms of equipment and force protection."
Panetta said the number of troops that will be pulled will depend on the strength of the Afghan security forces. Currently, he said, they have 352,000 enlisted troops.
"My instinct (is) that their development is moving at a pace and their acceptance of responsibility is moving at a pace that our numbers after '14 can be - can be modest," Dempsey added, though neither he nor Panetta would give a specific number of U.S. forces post 2014.
Pressed further, Dempsey said: "Look, we're in the business of negotiating with ourselves and John Allen the mission and how best to accomplish it, trying to look two years into the future. We really don't have a number selected yet."

American Art The Crucifixion Made in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, North and Central America1880 Thomas Eakins, American, 1844 - 1916 Oil on canvas * Gallery 155, European Art 1850-1900, first floor (Annenberg Galleries) 1929-184-24 Gift of Mrs. Thomas Eakins and Miss Mary Adeline Williams, 1929 |
LabelThis painting of the Crucifixion, Eakins's only religious work, demonstrates the artist's interest in rendering the human body realistically. Jesus's sagging torso, bent knees, stretched arms, and clenched hands all suggest an actual male body hanging from a cross in the agony of his last moments. To understand the human anatomy in this position, Eakins strapped a model, one of his students, to a cross. Eakins spent most of his life in Philadelphia, but trained in a Paris studio where the study of the nude was considered an essential basis for painting. Social Tags [?]anatomy [x] arth [x] composition studies [x] jesus [x] nearly monochromatic [x] philadelphia [x] religion paper [x] [Add Your Own Tags]* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons.
