Carrying purses and packing heat: Permits up among women
A snapshot of women and guns shows concealed-carry permits up in county
More Montezuma County women applied for and received concealed-carry permits this year than in any other time in recent memory.
After a request from the Cortez Journal, the Montezuma County Sheriff's Office reported issuing 112 concealed-carry permits to women this year. In 2008, only 10 ladies sought legal permission to hide weapons on their person.
"We revealed some interesting information on women who apply for and carry concealed firearms in Montezuma County," said Sheriff Dennis Spruell.
After President Barack Obama's inauguration, the number of local ladies with permits spiked to 97 in 2009. A downward trend followed in 2010 to a low of 30 in 2011. But since, the sheriff reports permit applications have climbed annually to their highest levels in 2013. The average age for local ladies packing heat is 40, Spruell said.
That's great news for JaCee Apple, CEO and co-founder of Femme Fatale Handbags. A Cortez native, Apple launched her own line of concealed-carry handbags this year. Her products are now available in nearly two-dozen retail stores across the country.
"My overall goal is to empower other women to make their safety a priority," Apple explained. "If I can help one woman walk with more confidence, my job is done."
A mother of two, Apple said she found it difficult to conceal a firearm on her person, adding slacks and skirts were too form fitting to allow a gun to be hidden. Upon shopping for a handbag with a concealment pocket, the bags were either too plain for a fashion forward lady like herself, or far too expensive, she said.
"I refused to buy an ugly purse," she proclaimed, "so I set out to try to make my own."
Available locally at Shooter's World and Love on a Hanger, Femme Fatale Handbags retail from $125 to $135. Love on a Hanger owner Tiffany Waters said she sales the Tatiana, which features top and side access to the concealed department, and Anya Hobo lines.
"Once you practice, it's quiet easy to draw your weapon," Waters said.
The Femme Fatale Handbags feature a dedicated lockable zippered firearm compartment. The added safety feature helps protect children in search of candy from their mother's purse as well as ensures weapons are always pointed in a safe direction, Apple said. Holsters are adjustable and fix to the inside of the compartment with Velcro.
"My designs are meant to marry both fashion and function," Apple said.
Made of genuine leather, Femme Fatale Handbags come with two leather holsters that match the exterior of the bag and an interior pocket with a magnetic snap for additional magazines. A titanium metal cable designed into the handle helps prevent theft, Apple said.
Femme Fatale Handbag customer Kris Poff of Texas said she loves her designer concealed carry purse. It provides handy, easy access without anyone knowing that she's packing heat. Poff is qualified to carry both semi-automatic pistols and revolvers.
"I feel so much safer knowing I can protect myself and others," Poff explained. "I show my handbag off every chance I get down here in Texas."
Poff said she her husband, a native of Summit Ridge, both obtained their concealed-carry permits as Valentine gifts to one another a couple of years ago. She said safety is her main concern as she spends time alone at home some 20 miles from the nearest town.
"I feel every woman should be able to protect herself and her kids," said Poff. "There are so many single women who need to be self-sufficient."
Other designer concealed-carry handbags are also available at retail shops along Main Street in Cortez. At A Bit of Heaven, a downtown clothing store, the specialty Western Concealed Purses – complete with metal pistol decorations – retail for $69.
"Women can carry a gun with fashion," said owner Denise Nunez. "A lot of customers are interested, and it's important to cater to their needs."
Throughout the holiday shopping season, Nunez is offering a 10 percent discount on all her concealed-carry handbags. Purchased with a pair of shoes, customers also receive a 15 percent discount, she added.
Big R on Main Street also carries a selection of concealed carry purses. Designed by Way West, Real Tree and Catchfly brands, the purses range from $64 to $78. A sales clerk, however, said she preferred a bra-mounted holster.
"It's easier to get to," she said, lifting her hand to the side of her chest.
Retired Idaho sheriff Steve Blackenship teaches a local self-defense course designed for women, claiming he can train a lady to properly wrestle a gun away from any would-be attacker. Every woman should own and know how to use a firearm, given most attackers are likely physically stronger, he added.
"A gun is the great equalizer," said Blackenship.
Blackenship, however, is not sold on the idea of marketing purses as practical concealed-carry holsters. He strongly advised against such products.
"Most times, the first thing an attacker will reach for is a woman's purse," he cautioned.
Sheriff Spruell, a strong advocate of the right to bear arms, recently signed a letter of support to the National Rifle Association to seek a firearms training grant for women. Hosted by the Four Corners Rifle and Pistol Club, the clinic would provide Montezuma County women with needed firearms training.
"It's a NRA Women on Target shooting clinic they would like to put on in May of 2014," Spruell said. "The clinic would allow women hands-on experience with different types of firearms, and in the end make them more confident and self-reliant."
In Colorado, women 18-34 years old, more often than any other group of women, are the victims of gun violence. According to gun educators, women of this age demographic are also the people most commonly enrolling in gun education classes.
The women taking gun education classes fall into three categories – young, college-aged women living on their own, middle-aged women with families and elderly women who may feel defenseless or find themselves living alone again after their husbands have died.
All three age groups express a similar reason for enrolling in gun education classes – self-protection.
In 2012, the FBI — through its National Instant Criminal Background Check System — conducted 414,838 background checks on Colorado residents who attempted to purchase guns, which was a 23 percent increase from the previous year. For the first 10 months of this year, the FBI has conducted 433,482 background checks — that's one background check for every 12 Coloradans.

Life After Miami Vice
After years of chasing crooks on TV, Don Johnson finds time for the good life.
From the Print Edition:
Don Johnson, Mar/Apr 02
It's just after 10 p.m. on a Siena summer evening and Don Johnson is struggling to say something. Of course, he is trying to speak Italian. "E fantastico. E incredibile," he says, waving his hands above his head as if he's a local. "L'energia. La bellezza."
The actor is attempting to describe his feelings about the Palio horse race to a table filled with Italians who do not speak English. The race, which finished a few hours before, is a free-for-all of a dozen or so bareback riders who speed around a makeshift dirt track in the Tuscan city's town square. It is the event of the year here, and more like a religious rite than a spectacle for most locals; so describing it to Italians in pidgin Italian is not an easy task.
"How do you say that the race is absolutely crazy?" he asks an American next to him, after realizing that his Italian vocabulary and grammar have just run out of steam. "Hell, just tell them that it's organized anarchy," he adds, as he sips a glass of 1995 Brunello and smokes a cigarette.
Johnson has been vacationing in Tuscany for close to a month with his wife, Kelley, and their young toddler, Grace. The hills of bella Toscana seem a long way from the spotlights of San Francisco, where he recently wrapped up a long and successful television series, "Nash Bridges." The fresh air, good food, fine wine and friendly people must seem the antithesis of what most people around the world best know Johnson for: Sonny Crockett, the slick lead character of the 1980s television series "Miami Vice." But that's just fine with the 52-year-old. He's enjoying every minute in Tuscany.
"Why do I love Italy?" asks Johnson. "Nearly everyone who comes to Italy knows why. It's the people. And the fact that they're living. They know how to live and they're living it. And everyone else [outside of Italy] is still experimenting.
"The people of Italy are very genuine," he adds. "It's always you before them. They always make you feel more special. You know, that's not something that I crave. It's something that happens when you're a celebrity. But here in Italy, all you have to be is a good person and you get treated the right way." It's been a revolving door this July at his rented villa, located about an hour's drive south of Florence. At times, Johnson admits that he isn't sure if he is running a hotel or a restaurant, considering the number of visitors he's entertained. Each day, if he's not sightseeing, he's throwing a big lunch or dinner for a large group. He loves having people around him, sharing the good life with them. He must be one of America's great bon vivants, whether appreciating three-star Michelin food, hard-to-find bottles of Italian reds or aged Cuban cigars. "Life's too short to drink bad wine or smoke poor cigars," he says, during a lunch that includes a bottle of 1997 Masseto, one of Italy's most vaunted bottles of Merlot.
He enjoys conversation with everybody at the table, whether old friends or new acquaintances. He almost never talks about himself, a rarity among actors, who so often come off as egocentric. Instead, he asks others about themselves and focuses on what they have to say. As handsome as ever, although slightly softer in proportions since he has been on holiday in Italy, he is the life of a party, always keeping the energy high. He's soon calling every male member of the party "bubba" or "buddy" as if they are long-lost best friends.
"I like to have really fine things," says Johnson, who even on vacation has a cellar well—stocked with super Tuscan reds such as Sassicaia and Masseto. He also counts fine Cubans like Cohiba Esplendido and Montecristo No. 2. torpedo cigars among his favorites. "I have a great appreciation for fine art, fine homes, fine wine, fine cigars and fine friends."
The actor first came to Tuscany in 1985 during the height of "Miami Vice." He had made a trip to Germany to special-order a 959 Porsche from the factory in Stuttgart, and the president of the famed car company lent him a 600 Mercedes for a few weeks while the sports car was being assembled. "I blasted down through Italy with my bodyguard, or maybe I should say 'buddy' guard," recalls Johnson. "And the first place I stopped, God rest his soul, was Gianni Versace's palazzo on Lake Como. It was beautiful. Then I went to Milan, stayed there for a couple of days, and then I went to Florence. When I got to Florence, I was blown away. It was the light. I just couldn't believe it. I fell in love with Tuscany."
He's been coming back ever since, and hopes to one day split his time between his ranch in Aspen, Colorado and central Italy. His most recent experience of renting a villa for a month in the hills of Tuscany convinced him that he needs to spend a year or two living in Italy, or maybe even buy property. "I loved renting a villa in Tuscany this year," he says. "It was fantastic. This little town that I stayed near -- I'm not going to say the name -- I loved it. I had a routine. I went to that town every day on my Harley to get the paper. I would talk to the local people, just like a neighbor. I asked them about themselves. I asked them about their children. I made friends. I became part of the community."

Thank You Coach
My high school coach was Tennessee Hall of Fame Coach Bryant McDaniel of Clarksville High, the Dean of Cross Country in Tennessee, the winner of seven state championships.
In those days only the top five runners on each team wore the school shirt and mattered in the outcome of the race. I tried so hard to wear that shirt but never did.
Coach Bryant McDaniel was an English teacher. He measured tobacco land in the summer. He claimed forever after that my mother had saved his life.
It was very hot that summer, my sixteenth year, 1964. Coach McDaniel had shown up at the farmhouse with heat exhaustion. My mother had placed him in the shade and cooled him down with wet towels. He recovered slowly and when he was feeling better he asked me to help him measure the tobacco.
The acreage had to be recorded for the government in those days. I carried one end of the tape and we had a great day measuring and talking.
He spoke to me of the cross country team and suggested I should join. My father had passed away a couple of years earlier. I guess there was just something about that kind man that made me really remember him.
I know now that my mother could not afford any school activity. We had zero money and she worked in a real sweatshop, sewing.
A kid never thinks about how his mother managed to provide something she could not afford. Later an adult remembers.
The coach didn't just care about the top runners. He knew the also rans, like me, had to be there, to push the ones in front and to inspire others. I didn't wear the shirt that counted in the race. Coach knew I mattered even though I didn't.
I remember when he was urging me up those hills, "Don't quit, son, don't give up. You must finish!"
"Why does he care about me, I'm not wearing the shirt that counts."
I couldn't breathe. I really could not breathe on those hills. My legs felt like rubber and every fiber said QUIT. QUIT
I was so far in the back of the pack. I mattered not. I couldn't seem to keep moving but this coach, this man, this wonderful man cared enough to make me rise up when it was hardest, when it seemed to not matter, when it mattered the most.
It was important to him that I get the point even if it took this long. It did matter, you see, and I mattered. My effort inspired my friends to join the team. Two of them, Mike Sykes and Donnie Huff wore the shirt. WE won two state championships, the coach would win seven. I didn't wear the shirt but I won it too. Coach. I got the point. I still brag.
Coach made us memorize poems that he made his students read. He is remembered as much for this poem as Anonymous. Thank you coach!
Don't Quit
by: Anonymous
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
This Thank you Coach article by David Michael Jackson

Reed, Spanish Springs and Sparks all have experienced methods in place to get their student athletes cleared and on the athletic fields at the appropriate times, but the Washoe County School District's new calendar should ease the burden a bit.
In years past, fall athletic programs have started official practices two or more weeks before the first day of school. In many instances, teams had already held tryouts and picked rosters before the initial day of classes. That won't be the case this year. Monday marks the first day of school, but fall prep sports in the Silver State, with the exception of football, do not begin until Aug. 19. Football starts a week earlier.
"Athletic clearance should be extremely easier," Spanish Springs athletic director Art Anderson said. "The fact that we have a whole week of school before even starting tryouts is an absolute excellent opportunity. We were clearing kids at the end of last year to get a jump on it but this makes it easier."
Reed athletic director Ron Coombs had similar sentiments.
"We held clearance dates in July and we've done that every year I've been here," he said. "That's really to get a head start on paperwork. The clearance paperwork, there's a lot to it. Every detail has to be filled in. You can't skip paces … But we'll still continue to clear kids this coming week without question."
At Sparks High, athletic director Rob Kittrell said the first week of school, before athletic practices, should provide a nice buffer to clear the stragglers and help clear up last-minute issues. He said the week should really help freshmen more than anything.
"This first week of school should really help with freshmen, the kids who haven't quite figured out what all this high school stuff is about," Kittrell said. "Football wise, we've always tried to get kids cleared by the end of July. That's never been much of an issue but when you look at the other sports, we're always scrambling getting caught up. This will help."
All three ADs concurred that the week of school before practices kick off should help the lesser profile sports like cross country and tennis.
"I'm a huge proponent of this new calendar," Anderson said. "This makes it easier and gives our coaches time to recruit some athletes before practices begin … The downside to the old calendar was we'd see teams picked before school even began. Most of the tough conversations I had with parents came after the school year started and it was about a lack of knowledge. They didn't know.
"With this new calendar, it's almost like we're working in reverse. Instead of being a week behind at the beginning of school, it's now like we'll be a week ahead."
Kittrell pointed out that his school has less than 1,200 students, so it needs to share student athletes and get as many kids out for athletic programs as it can. The free week before sport practices begin can only help his school.
"We can really hit up these freshmen in that first week to try and get them involved," Kittrell said. "Hopefully, we can get more freshmen out. These first five days we can be out recruiting. That's very important. We didn't have a girls golf team the last two years. I know we've got a few interested and maybe we can get a few more. Our boys tennis team is at three right now. So we can work hard to fill that and cross country numbers have always been low. So maybe we get a few more there too."
Brian Rothe is the WCSD's coordinator of activities and athletics. He doesn't think the new calendar will make much difference when it comes to streamlining paperwork. He added that's because schools across the district have perennially done a great job getting athletes cleared prior to the start of the season.
"Our people are a little more proactive so we haven't had much of a problem," Rothe said. "Our schools are staffed so well in the summer. All these coaches run pretty good summer programs and they're pretty much communicating with the kids all the time. I just think our people do a good job."
That may indeed be the case, but the calendar certainly won't hurt the plight of local athletic staffs. It's likely also to have fringe benefits beyond the ones mentioned.
"We're not going to be breathing down our coaches' throats to get kids cleared. This is the best-case scenario for fall sports. In the past, our football team was playing a game before school started. Our other sports were playing games the first week of school. That won't be the case now. We're going to get more kids involved playing sports and going to games. I just see this as a huge positive."

Dear Neighbor, Since I took office in 2009, it has been an honor for me to represent the people of Western New York at the State Capitol. As a wife and mother of three children, ensuring a viable future for our families has been and will continue to be my top priority. I want to ensure that our children have opportunities for a successful future right here in New York State, and are not forced to leave due to our struggling economic and business climate. It is no secret that the people and businesses of New York are overburdened. Our state is notorious for being one of the highest taxed states in the country, and is consistently considered one of the worst states in which to do business. Families are finding it difficult to pay their tax bills and many businesses are being forced to cut jobs, relocate or close up shop. In order for any business to run properly and efficiently, those involved must be held accountable for their actions, and I feel that the same should hold true for state government. From mom-and-pop corner stores to multinational corporations, New York State needs to support existing businesses and invite new enterprises to take advantage of all that our state has to offer. By implementing regulatory reform, tax, fee and assessment reductions, and promoting business growth and expansion, we would allow businesses to do what they do best, create jobs and stimulate the economy. I am extremely proud of my successes in the private sector and am confident that my experience and hardworking approach as a businesswoman has helped bring a common sense point of view to the Assembly Chamber. We need a more fiscally conservative approach that will rein in exorbitant spending and lower taxes to put money back into the economy so it is able to grow. Please know that I will continue to represent your voice in Albany, and I hope that you will not hesitate to contact me if I can ever be of assistance to you on any state-related matter. If you would like to share your views on any issue, I welcome your thoughts.

I've been seeing Barbara at Aqua for monthly facials for about 6 months and couldn't be happier! Before I started coming to Aqua, I was never loyal to any particular spa or aesthetician, but after my first facial with Barbara I became a regular! She tailors each facial to the particular needs of my skin at the time of my visit and regularly puts me to sleep during the facial. Can't ask for a much more relaxing experience than that! I would highly recommend for anyone who wants a professional, effective, and relaxing facial experience!
My spa of choice for 10 years!! – I first starting going to Aqua for brow waxing while a student at SMU (over 10 years ago). I've always received incredible service and first-class treatment.
Before my wedding last February, I was in desperate need to get picture perfect. Aqua consulted me with a weight lose program (lost 17lbs!!!) and a treatment plan for my Acne. Cassie was my Aesthetician. She's the most caring and genuine person I've ever meet. She always greets me with a smile and a sincere interest in my life and my skin. She turned my skin around in less than 2 months. Aqua is a great spa...the owner is very hands on and they always have the newest technologies and treatments! I highly recommend you give them a try!
Great service and staff – I had great service at Aqua during a recent trip to Dallas. The staff was attentive, and even though it's not where I typically get my Botox treatment, I felt in great hands at Aqua. Wish I lived closer to make this my regular spot for all my services. Although I came in for Botox, the front desk discussed the circcell (sp?) facial and it sounded incredible so I rebooked for another appointment while in town. It was incredible and my skin felt amazing. Thank you Aqua and I'll be back when I'm in Dallas!
Aqua Med. Spa – I have great massages here and they have a nice product line.
Deceptive at Best – Aqua says they offer services at both McKinney and Hillcrest locations, but we found that after we signed up for services at McKinney, we were repeatedly told we had to go to Hillcrest location for treatment.
Hillcrest location is small, crowded, and very public. Treatment rooms can be viewed directly from 'lobby'. Personnel were very indiscreet with personal information.
I know there are much better places in Dallas, so I would urge you to keep looking - no need to stop at Aqua!
Best Brazilian and Brow waxing in Dallas!!! – I am so glad I found Aqua and Monica! She is the best!!! It is so hard to find someone that is good at Brazilian waxing. Super fast, very very thorough, and it didn't hurt! I am so excited about this girl that I am telling all my friends about Aqua. I also had a facial by Monica last week and it was the best facial that I have every experienced. She does the best extractions (every pore clean and it didn't hurt) and I was so relaxed when I left! I am still getting compliments from coworkers about how my skin and brows look.
Found the perfect place! – I have received both a Sonya Dakar and a Hydragel treatment from Monica. I feel that she, as well as the other staff, are well trained and very capable of providing services that are superior in quality to their competition. Not a stranger to spa services (I visit every two weeks), I feel that their pricing is competitive with spas that offer equal treatments. As a registered nurse, I am comfortable with the medical procedures they perform and plan on continuing to visit my Aqua oasis.
Disrespectful and unattentive staff – I went to Aqua for a Botox consult and was appalled by the service. The staff was goofing off and was even cussing in front of customers. They were completely unprofessional. They practically rushed me out the door and tried to pressure me into doing services I wasn't comfortable with the same day as my consult. I told them over and over that I just came in for a consult and I would schedule a new day for any services I choose. The technical that was going to administer my Botox did not seem very knowledgeable and made me nervous to try anything with her. On top of that they were charging a lot more than any other med spa I had visited for a consult. Don't walk-- run to a better med-spa in Dallas!
Best Brazilian Wax – I have been going to Lilly for a couple months now - she has to be the best person in Dallas for Brazilian Waxes.....It is pain free - she does not miss anything! I am amazed at the results and how long it last! I would not try anyone else at Aqua - I have - and Lilly is by far the most talented in this area.
Caution: Second degree burns and no respect of verbal agreements – Very friendly staff however some laser hair removal treatments ended up with second degree burns. This accident was handle poorly by Aqua and they've even made me paid for these treatments. Finally, they do not respect their verbal agreements.
I would definately not recommend it.

Chief Bill Partridge said the suspect was shot by two police officers in a store known as Dr. Phonefix.com and Accessories after he threatened both officers with a knife. Customers were in the store during the shooting, Partridge said, but no one else was harmed.
Police received a call at 11:58 a.m. from an individual driving on Snow Street who recognized a man walking on the street as the suspect who had broken into the individual's home. The suspect also had several active felony warrants with the Oxford and Anniston police departments, Partridge said.
Later, another call was received saying the man was in Love Stuff's parking lot. When officers canvassed the area they found the suspect in Dr. Phonefix.com and Accessories.
Partridge said an investigator and two uniformed officers approached the suspect. Police said they could smell alcohol on the man's breath and could see he was intoxicated. One of the officers asked the suspect to step out in the parking lot to speak to him. The suspect cursed at the officer and said he wasn't going outside, Partridge said.
According to Partridge, the suspect then pulled out a knife and began slashing at the officers. The chief said police yelled at the man to drop the weapon.
"They used a Taser in an attempt to use less lethal force on him and get him to drop the knife," Partridge said. He indicated with his hands that the knife was approximately 6 to 7 inches long.
The stun gun hit the suspect's chest and abdomen, but police said his clothing and leather jacket may have been too thick to penetrate.
"The Taser either didn't make good contact or didn't faze him," Partridge said.
The police chief said the suspect continued to "charge the officers" and they shot and killed him inside the store.
"When you resort to lethal force an officer has no option but to put you down," Partridge said. "Citizen safety and officer safety is paramount."
Police were still waiting on the coroner to arrive at the scene and to notify the suspect's family before releasing his name. Since an officer was involved in the shooting, the Alabama Bureau of Investigation is looking into the shooting, Partridge said.

The four-star back committed to Nebraska on Wednesday at a press conference at his school, choosing the Huskers over hometown UCLA.
Nebraska was one of his earliest offers, and the Huskers had long been the favorite to land him.
While UCLA made an offer midway through the season and a big push to get into his final two, Newby's feeling for the Huskers never faded.
"I feel like I had the strongest connection with the Nebraska staff," Newby said.
Newby officially visited Lincoln in September for a game in which the Huskers routed Idaho State 73-7.
He becomes the second California native to join the Huskers class, joining fellow Southern California prospect Johnny Stanton, a four-star quarterback from Santa Margarita.

We Are The Brothers Thanksgiving
Thursday, November 22, 2012
This week's show offers up some savory sounds for your ears to accompany your Thanksgiving feast. But these Thanksgiving treats are a little bit edgy, and might bite back.
We celebrate the Pilgrims' voyage from England with several British selections – from the Scottish wit of James MacMillan's Britannia all the way to the craggy drama of Harrison Birtwistle's Tragoedia. Liverpool's resident geniuses are represented in Raphael Moster's recomposition of "Blackbird," and the voyage to America is made complete with Elliott Carter's beguiling Cello Sonata.
We trust this hearty meal will stretch your ears, and that you'll join us next week for a dessert course composed of sweeter fare.
Hosted by:Brad Balliett and Doug Balliett

Greenwich Archaeology Day
On a strategic position on the river, with its high ground overlooking the broad Thames landscape, Greenwich has seen plenty of activity in the past 10,000 years. Today, its stunning history, archaeology, river, museums and park, make this World Heritage Site easily one of the best days out in London.
The CBA London archaeology day in Greenwich was so popular it was fully booked with a waiting list. Trustees Andrew Dismore, Lorna Richardson and Becky Wallower were on hand to welcome members and others to the day of walks and talks around the World Heritage Site. They were joined by Julian Bowsher – Greenwich expert, senior archaeologist at Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) and local resident – and Graham Kenlin, finds processing specialist at MOLA.
Starting in the morning to catch the low tide, the group spread out across the foreshore to spot the medieval (or earlier?) and Tudor structures that have been emerging in recent years and to do a bit of mudlarking, supervised by Lorna. Despite a bit of a muddy film over part of the shore, just about everyone found fragments of stoneware bellarmine jugs, including one with the trademark bearded figure and another with a crest. Plenty of other pottery sherds, mainly from the 16th through 19th centuries were discovered as well – including some pieces that even puzzled Graham (though we think it was some probably kiln furniture). Animal bones, shells, pipe stems, tiles and bricks were abundant too.
The foreshore finds were then put into the context of centuries of occupation on the land above at a series of sites. First, Julian led us on a trip around what essentially became a virtual Tudor palace, built in our imaginations through his interpretations. He recounted the evidence from decades of excavations, describing how the original palace of Placentia had grown into a favoured royal residence, pointing out where Henry VIII would have been born and married, tournaments held, stables developed and gardens planted. The small but fascinating archaeology section of the new Discover Greenwich visitor centre added the physical evidence of finds and structural material, and a film of Julian himself.
After lunch and a swift hike up to the top of the park, Becky related the tale of the discovery and interpretation of the remains of the Roman temple lying under the surface there. First excavated in 1902 and further explored in 1978-79, by CBAL Trustee Harvey Sheldon (with Brian Yule) and 1999, by Time Team, the site had been published by Becky in London Archaeologist, She was able to place members of the group to form a living Romano British temple with ambulatory and give an indication of its scale, sited, as it was, on a prominent mound near to both Watling Street, the Roman road from Kent, and the river approaches. Finds typical of the site were available for handling and discussion by Graham, and a good discussion developed on the Roman road and possible reason for the temple's location and the preponderance of coins found there (some 500). Finally, the group gathered in the hot sun to look at the 26 remaining Anglo-Saxon burial mounds and hear news of the Olympic equestrian events that would circle the area.

What can I say? These are the most awesome,amazing jets that I have ever purchased. The performance of these jets is simply astounding. If you are looking for some jets you won't find anything better at any price anywhere. How they packed in so much performance in such a small package for such a tiny price is beyond belief. Double WOW!

Braindump Brings Ideas to Computer
KDE developer Cyrille Berger now provides his Braindump whiteboard program in its first public release. The GPL software is based on KOffice technology.
Braindump should help users put their ideas into digital format. This includes numerous whiteboards that the user can organize and categorize, write and draw on, and include graphics in. Concurrent with the release of Braindump 0.8.0, Berger issued a video showing the program in action.
Braindump currently works together with KOffice 2.1.x, with the intention of moving on to version 2.2. Thanks to this foundation, the application comes out with only about 8,000 lines of code. Future features should include search and replace, tagging for collaborative work and auto-growing text fields.
Braindump 0.8.0 is under GPLv2 licensing and is available for download as a source code tarball from Berger's blog page.

"They shot anyone walking around in the street. It always ended with, "We killed six terrorists today." Whoever you shot in the street is "a terrorist.""]
"Someone said it was funny that the kids saw their mother smeared on the wall and everyone cracked up."
"There were other things that bothered me, this thing with Palestinian fishing nets. The nets cost around four thousand shekels, which is like a million dollars for them. When they wouldn't do what we said too many times, we'd sink their nets."

Pennsylvania Students to Help Aviation Industry Go Green With 'Real World Design Challenge'
Public-private partnership provides state-of-the-art software, mentoring to students, teachers.
HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Pennsylvania high school students will hone their science and technology skills while helping to solve real-world challenges facing the aviation industry under a public-private partnership announced today by Governor Edward G. Rendell.
The "Real World Design Challenge," a national competition hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy, will enable high school students to work alongside industry and government experts to learn engineering skills through problem solving.
"The Real World Design Challenge gives our students a unique opportunity to solve real problems, take on real roles in science and engineering and make real contributions to society," Rendell said. "It also complements Pennsylvania's efforts to promote the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) initiative that is helping to ensure that Pennsylvania's students have the necessary skills to compete and succeed in the global economy."
Secretary of Education Gerald L. Zahorchak said the design challenge bridges the goals of education with the needs of the high-tech industry.
"Thanks to this effort, students will have access to a global engineering education program that will help prepare them with the capabilities needed to succeed," he said. "They can tap into the latest technology and the brightest mentoring minds to learn to be innovative and creative. The end result is highly skilled students who can keep our workforce strong and competitive for years to come."
Pennsylvania is among the first 10 states to announce a partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy on the Real World Design Challenge, which will be initiated in the 2008-2009 school year. Eventually, all U.S. states and territories will be invited to participate.
The Real World Design Challenge enables high school students to take on engineering challenges in a team environment by asking them to address an issue facing one of the nation's leading industries. This year's challenge focuses on more efficient energy use in aeronautics.
Teams of students and a teacher will develop solutions to the challenge, and those solutions will be evaluated by scientists, engineers, college and university faculty and teachers. The best solution in each state will be announced by each governor at an awards ceremony, and the winning team in each state will compete in a national challenge held in Washington, D.C.
To aid the effort, high school teachers trained in design and global engineering will each receive approximately

Deputy Mayor of Wellington gives Christmas message
8:00pm Tuesday 24th December 2013 in Somerset
A CHRISTMAS message from Deputy Mayor of Wellington Dave Mitton.
"I AM writing this message as the Mayor Gloria Copley is at present in hospital recovering from an operation.
Everyone on the town council sends Gloria best wishes and hopes that she has a speedy recovery.
The council wishes everyone in Wellington a happy Christmas and New Year and to extend a welcome to all newcomers to our town.
Each year we produce a town guide which is packed full of useful information. If you haven't received a copy, please call into our office at 28 Fore Street or visit our website www.wellingtontowncouncil.co.uk
It was wonderful that so many people came to our switch-on of the Christmas lights this year. It was a great way to start the Christmas season and I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the event.
Organisations in the town also hold other events during the year of which we can be proud as a community.
May Day, at our award-winning park followed by a summer programme of music organised by the Friends of Wellington Park, was attended by more people than ever.
The Street Fair held in aid of the Wellington Carnival was the best ever and we had a spectacular September with the Food Town Festival, Wellington Boot Throwing Competition and the carnival itself.
Christmas is a time for family but we should spare a thought for those less fortunate than ourselves.
Take a look at the Somerset County Council's winter guide which can be accessed through our website and in particular the Snow Code.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy and peaceful New Year."

Proceeds Go to Help Homeless Families Transition to Permanent Housing
MONTROSE – Since opening in early 2011, the Haven House has helped hundreds of people, including 100 children, giving them a place to stay for the night. About 25,000 shelter nights, to be exact. Now, the nonprofit needs help from the community in order to keep its doors open.
To that end, Haven House is hosting a Harvest Property fundraiser Sunday, Oct. 13, 1-4 p.m., at the Montrose Manor, on 60169 LaSalle Rd.
Haven House, located just north of Olathe at 4806 North River Road, is a faith-based organization providing a variety of programs designed to help faltering families get back into permanent housing and on a path to self sufficiency, while keeping their kids in school and out of trouble.
It's the organization's second fundraiser this year. Executive Director Larry Fredericksen said all monies raised from the fundraiser will go towards homeless families in the region.
Haven House offers a lot more than shelter, Fredericksen pointed out, including everything from "enrichment programs" to job-hunting coaching to providing resources for its residents looking for permanent work.
It also helps families save money for permanent housing once they are ready to leave Haven House itself, where all residents are required to be drug- and alcohol-free.
In addition to monetary gifts, Fredericksen said, Haven House is seeking donated vehicles for use by residents when job-hunting in the area.
Haven House is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation, and all donations are tax deductible. Donations by check can be made payable to Haven House at P.O. Box 3122, Montrose, CO 81402.
To volunteer with Haven House, call 970/323-5280 or email email@example.com. For more information, visit havenhousehomeless.org.

John Sickels has the Cubs minor league system rated #10 in his latest rankings. Last year they were 20th. The Cardinals are #1, the Pirates are #5, the Reds are #15 and the Brewers are #23.
10) Chicago Cubs (20): Another system that has improved quickly. Strengths: hitting at the top: Javier Baez, Albert Almora, Jorge Soler, Dan Vogelbach is a very impressive quartet and there is depth beyond them. Good developments with recent Latin American prospects at the lower levels. Weaknesses: pitching is much, much weaker than the hitting. Improving that has to be a priority.
The full rankings can be found over at SB Nation.
That's a pretty nice leap considering one of the biggest prizes of the system last year (Rizzo) is now on the major league roster.

Last week's news that American Airlines had filed for bankruptcy should be all the wake-up call anyone needs to begin weaning meetings and events from their over-reliance on the airline industry.
You might think the link between meetings and air travel is too strong to break, but the need to move large numbers of participants by air, comfortably and reliably, and at reasonable cost, has long been our industry's Achilles heel. We certainly won't dial back our dependency overnight, but AA's announcement shows that the airline business isn't getting any healthier, and we ignore the trend lines at our peril.
The travails of air travel are an old story. "If the Wright brothers were alive today, Wilbur would have to fire Orville to reduce costs," Herb Kelleher, co-founder of Southwest Airlines, told USA Today in 1994. Investment oracle Warren Buffett was more direct. "If a farsighted capitalist had been present at Kitty Hawk," he wrote in a February 2008 shareholder letter, "he would have done his successors a huge favor by shooting Orville down."
AA's failure was foretold by Fortune magazine contributor Cyrus Sanati, who recommended bankruptcy as "the best option to prevent American Airlines from making a crash landing." Referring to AA's "broken cost structure" compared to its competitors, he noted that AA staved off bankruptcy in 2003 by cutting wages 16 percent to 23 percent and laying off thousands. But the other legacy carriers came out of bankruptcy almost a decade ago with even lower labor costs, a difference that translates into a $600 million-per-year cost gap for American.
The airlines' formula for success, it seems, is to slash wages, claw back pensions, add fees, invest heavily in spit and masking tape, and pretend for as long as possible that everything is holding together. Meeting professionals' formula is one step worse—because we're the ones pretending that their formula can deliver a positive travel experience for our meetings.
The bottom line is that the majority of airlines weren't viable when fuel was cheap and the economy was growing, and they're not going to bounce back now. Here are three fatal flaws the air travel industry can't solve:
- Canadian demographer David Foot commented many years ago that "you don't do more with less. You do less with less." Squeezing staff might look like a great short-term fix, unless you're the one being squeezed. But it won't be safe or pleasant for passengers, or economically sustainable for the airlines.
- Oil prices are on their way up again. A barrel of West Texas crude cost $101.56 earlier this week. If a stronger economy drives up demand, prices will rise and airlines will be hammered even harder.
- Air travel still has no realistic plan to reduce its carbon emissions. As the effects of climate change become even more obvious, and the demand for solutions becomes more insistent, airlines will have little or nothing to offer.
So meeting professionals' livelihoods depend on a failing, dysfunctional industry and, some day soon, we'll have to choose between going down with the ship or finding an alternative. So far, the most promising option seems to be a hub-and-spoke model that allows participants to gather locally or regionally, then use hybrid meeting technology to connect across time zones or continents. There are still some kinks to work out, but large-scale air travel isn't a perfect solution, either. As an industry, we should thank American Airlines for the wake-up call and step up our search for meeting solutions that work.

text: Going back to the original topic, I'd say thematically I wish they used elements from 'The Ultimates 2' (much like this movie was inspired by 'The Ultimates'). The Ultimates 2 really explores the impact the existence of superheroes has on the geo-political status quo, and hints of that kind of discussion were already seen at the end of this movie. I'd even like to see a version of 'The Liberators'; the anti-American superhuman terrorist group in that arc...the leader of the group in the comic was Loki, so I'd prefer if they used someone else as the 'Big Bad'.
