Tucson >Food & Dining > Frog & Firkin
874 E University Blvd, Tucson, AZ | Directions 8571932.231299 -110.958304
Sunday To Thursday From 11:00 AM To 01:00 AM Friday To Saturday From 11:00 AM To 02:00 AM
Neighborhoods: West University, Ward 6
NO RESPECT TO CUSTOMERS – I just had one of the most horrible encounters here at frog and firkin. I was celebrating my birthday with 7 friends and when we were done eating we had to split the check. THEY REFUSE TO DO SEPARATE CHECKS so we had to calculate the individual amounts ourselves, which took us a while. The bartender (supposed manager) began yelling directly at me because we took so long. He embarrassed me and condescendingly asked me if I knew my multiplication tables. RUDEST EMPLOYEE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. He also mistreated and demeaned my friend. DO NOT EAT THERE IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED RESPECTFULLY.
Horrible Service avoid this place – I have been there twice and last time was worse than the first I will definately not return. First our ditzy watiress disappeared, so after a half an hour I went to the bar to order a drink, the bartender responded that I had to order from the waitress, I said that I did about 30 minutes ago, to that he responded that if I didn't like it to go someplace else. Unbelievable! So I left and went next door to No Anchovies where the service was good and so were the prices. The only reason that Frog is even open is because of its location the staff is horrible.
Best BURGER in town, coming from a Tucson native! – The Frog does not sport much seating, which is usually not a big deal in Tucson, but it certainly could use more room at the bar. Apart from the name, and dark wood bar there isn't much English about it.
But it has THE BEST BURGER in town! Absolutely AMAZING! I also have found the service to be very attentive, and food is prepared quickly.
English Pub??? – Just because you have Britian's flag hang all over the place doesn't make you an English Pub. The food is terrible and the beer isn't all that much to rave about.
Worst food, Service, and Atmosphere in Tucson, Yuck!! – There are plenty of fun places in Tucson with much better food, ie. Gentle Ben's, Risky Business, Nimbus Brewery, Maloney's, etc. Therefore, there is no good reason to go to Frog and Firkin unless you want to waste your Firkin' money. Ugggghh...
A. It has no atmospere for a supposedly British-style pub
B. Their rubbery crust and grease-soaked pizza is worse than Domino's, it puts the "ish" in "British". Is pizza British? I guess F&F think so.
C. It has no sitting room and you'll be shoulder to shoulder with strangers if there are 10+ people in the bar
D. The service is very poor and inattentive. the waitress didn't listen when we cancelled a drink order while she was still at our table and looking directly at us.
E. Management is horrendous and apparently doesn't like customers. He believed the server and made us pay for the drink we didn't order
F. Oh, yeah...the parking situation, or lack therof, is disappointing
Not a good place for Shooting Pool – I went on a Monday night with my cousin and discovered they did indid have a pool table. It was a bit of a joke the bar put one in because it was very crowded with furniture and we had to keep moving chairs around to get a shot off. The best part of my experience was the Firkin Cheeseburger. Very tasty and juicy. I also enjoyed having my drink outside on the big patio.
Firkin Good Time – This place rocks! I had the best pizza ever, their sandwiches and salads are very close behind. Boasting about 75 beers is hard to do, with 26 on tap! The service was great too. My wife and I will be locals at this place from now on.
You must love poor service! – With terrible service and marginable food< I have no idea why anyone would frequent this place. With out their fair selection of beers, this place wouldn't make it. They need to get the local beer in their place like the place next door to them did at the very least. It might improve the place.
Poor service at a high price – Of the half dozen or so times I've been to Frog & Firkin I have experienced high prices and extremely poor service. If you are ever there with a party of five or more the add a 20% gratuity to the bill, which makes the service even worse. Their $7 sandwiches and $4 pints of beer are not nearly as a good a deal as most places on University Blvd. I for one will never go back!!!
College kids needn't travel abroad to find a good English pub. Better yet, the food is all-American. – The Scene
This little pub has managed to carve its own niche in the undistinguished University of Arizona market. The converted house has seen countless bars come and go, but it seems to have found stability in this Brit-inspired pub. The atmosphere is relaxed, as the college crowd mixes with older folk. It's much more easygoing than other UA area bars.
The Booze
The Firkin's beer selection is impressive and includes British favorites Caffery's, Fullers and John Courage on tap. Service is friendly and uniformly excellent.
While You're There
The food is surprisingly tasty and the pizza is some of Tucson's best. Local bands often grace the outdoor patio area, playing everything from ska to Irish music, but always with a twist. A nominal cover charge of a few bucks gets you in on band nights.

lying between Elim and sinai (Ex. 16:1; comp. Num. 33:11, 12). This was probably the narrow plain of el-Markha, which stretches along the eastern shore of the Red Sea for several miles toward the promontory of Ras Mohammed, the southern extremity of the Sinitic Peninsula. While the Israelites rested here for some days they began to murmur on account of the want of nourishment, as they had by this time consumed all the corn they had brought with them out of Egypt. God heard their murmurings, and gave them "manna" and then quails in abundance.

With its good Attack, it can sweep a slow or paralyzed team if used right, but it dies really quickly to special attackers. Because of this, it will be quite hard to switch Pinsir in and pull it off.
Simply Swords Dance and sweep. Watch out, though, as this set can't touch Gengar, and Gengar is very common. Also, Pinsir's Special is rubbish—it usually just barely survives two hits from Starmie's Surf, but most other STAB special moves will 2HKO Pinsir.
Other Options
Seismic Toss hits Gengar, and its Slash is quite strong and can come in handy if you don't have the time to Swords Dance. Guillotine is also an option if OHKO moves are unbanned.
Checks and Counters
Given the standard set, Pinsir has no way to damage Gengar, whose Thunderbolt makes short work of it. Exeggutor's good Defense allows him the ability to switch in with little consequence, and his high Special gives him the ability to take down Pinsir with Psychic. Zapdos can switch in on anything, although Body Slam has an ugly chance of paralysis. As far as UU goes, Tangela doesn't fear anything Pinsir has. Arcanine and Ninetales can switch in and threaten Pinsir with a STAB Fire Blast, but they don't like getting paralyzed.

If you've been coughing, it may be time to see your doctor. In this week's What's Going Around, we're checking in with three doctors in central Virginia and we're talking about upper respiratory infections, bronchitis and allergies.
Starting out in Afton, Dr. Steve Schmitz of Afton Family Medicine is treating several patients for allergies. Symptoms include sneezing, runny nose and itchy watery eyes. Allergies can be treated with antihistamines.
In Palmyra, Dr. Gabriel Spring of Palmyra Medical Associates says viral bronchitis is going around. Symptoms include cough, tightness in chest, wheezing and rarely a fever. Treatment includes cough medicine, an inhaler as needed and bad cases may require oral steroids.
Upper respiratory infections are going around in Greene County. Doctor Brooke Bostic of Greene Family Medicine says symptoms include sore throat, congestion in chest, sinus congestion, hoarseness and cough and possibly a fever. Bostic says you don't need an anti-biotic, but recommends Tylenol, decongestants and zinc.

Tracy Reese
OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Tracy Reese
2007 September 7
Tracy Reese - Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring 2008
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) The Spring 2008 collection exuded the girlish playfulness which Reese is known for. Full, striped skirts, glossy dresses, and purple bathing suits worn with fringed umbrellas were a little too saccharine sweet and Great Gatsby-esque but the feminine sequins, ruching, and bows looked just right on blue and red cropped jackets worn with high waisted, wide-leg pants and knee-length cocktail skirts. In the end Reese shone best with the more grown-up pieces to which she added her romantic signature touches without seeming overdone- a white poet's blouse underneath black pants with (a very) high waist and delicate white buttons, an acid orange, low-neck cropped shirt worn with a pastel blue, geometric cocktail skirt, and green cut-out pumps.

Vampire Cowboys to Open GEEK! 3/21 at Incubator Arts Project
Vampire Cowboys present GEEK!, written by Crystal Skillman and directed by Robert Ross Parker and featuring cast members Sheldon Best, Allison Buck, Becky Byers, Rebecca Comtois, Eugene Oh and Emily Williams. GEEK! will run March 21-April 13, 2013.
The show features Scenic/Lighting Designer: Nick Francone; Costume Designers: Kristina Makowski & Jessica Shay; Sound Designer: Shane Rettig; Multimedia Designer: Matthew Tennie; Puppet Designer: David Valentine; and Fight Director: Ray Rodriguez, with Stage Manager: Kelly Ruth Cole.
With pissed-off Pikachus, steam punk armies, stood-up Sailor Moons and roller-blading monsters on the prowl, it's easy to get lost in the Inferno-esque anime convention where the fans, the otakus, and the geeks prowl. But to score a rare signature from their comic book idol, teenage outcasts Dayna and Honey will take on obsessive magic players, Jedis and elfs, cosplayers and convention guards-through all nine flights of Ohio's Dante's Fire-Con-to get a chance to shake hands with their pop-culture hero. Dante's Inferno meets comic con geekery in this amazing new show by award-winning playwright and geekster princess Crystal Skillman!
Vampire Cowboys creates and produces new works of theatre based in stage combat and dark comedy with a comic book aesthetic that explore complex subject matters. The company actively pursues the mating of different genres (Film Noir, Teenage Comedies, Horror, Sci-Fi, etc.) with varied theatrical styles (musicals, dance, movement, etc.) to create an eclectic structure to tell its stories. The aim of the company is to bridge the gap between mass media entertainment and the performing arts, exposing audiences to challenging, thought provoking live entertainment rooted in today's pop culture vernacular.
Vampire Cowboys has produced Vampire Cowboy Trilogy (2004), A Beginner's Guide to Deicide (2005), Living Dead in Denmark (2006); Men of Steel (2007); Fight Girl Battle World (2008); Soul Samurai (2009); Alice in Slasherland (2010); and The Inexplicable Redemption of Agent G (2011 and 2012). The company's productions have been nominated for and received many New York Innovative Theatre Awards. Men of Steel and Soul Samurai have been published by Broadway Play Publishing; Living Dead in Denmark was reprised at the first National Asian American Theater Festival held in New York City in June 2007; and The Inexplicable Redemption of Agent G was remounted Off-Broadway with Ma-Yi Theater Company in spring 2012. Vampire Cowboys' Artistic Directors were named 'People of the Year' in 2004 by NYtheatre.com. The company received the 2006 Caffe Cino Fellowship from the New York Innovative Theatre Awards for continued excellence; and was awarded a Village Voice Obie Award in 2010.
Crystal Skillman (playwright) is a Brooklyn-based playwright. She is the award-winning author of CUT (The Management in Spring 2011; NY Times critic's pick) VIGIL or THE GUIDED CRADLE (ITG/Brick; 2010 New York Innovative Theatre Award for Outstanding Full-Length Script); and BIRTHDAY & NOBODY (Directed by Daniel Talbott for Rising Phoenix Rep in NYC; U.K Premiere with Kibbo Productions; Chicago at The Side Project).
Robert Ross Parker (director) Robert Is a Brooklyn-based director, writer, and actor. For Vampire Cowboys, he has directed the critically acclaimed productions of The Inexplicable Redemption of Agent G, Alice in Slasherland, Soul Samurai, Fight Girl Battle World (nominated for Best Direction by the 2008 NY Innovative Theatre Awards), Men of Steel, Living Dead in Denmark, Vampire Cowboy Trilogy, A Beginner's Guide to Deicide, and StaiNed Glass Ugly. Recent directing credits include How to be a New Yorker (currently running Off-Broadway); She Kills Monsters (The Flea), Goodbye Cruel World (Roundtable Ensemble), which he also penned, Hamlet (solo) starring Raoul Bhaneja (Hope and Hell), A Political Party!, the national tour of Children's Letters to God (Lamb's Theatre/Broadway Overseas Management), the Off-Broadway premiere of My Fake ID's (Lamb's Theatre), Lady Convoy (FringeNYC), Justin Reinsilber's F*cking Love (WEJ Productions), and numerous readings for Ensemble Studio Theatre where he was a young director-in-residence.

Great Minds think AlikeI watching E.O.T. Too Enjoy the rest of your "Elvis day" david
Right now I am watching Elvis On Tour on TCM and just makes me want this movie released on DVD so bad I just hope one day it can be released on DVD for all of us fans!!!!!!!!
Great Minds think AlikeI watching E.O.T. Too Enjoy the rest of your "Elvis day" david
I'm the King of the Jungle, They call me Tigerman
Hopefully you are making a DVD of it, because that's what I'm gonna do when I get home. I made one from the crap VHS pan and scan full screen version that looks fine, but it's gotta be seen in letter box. I've got my DVR recording it. I'll make a DVD of the move then put the interview stuff inbetween movies at the end.
I got at least 10 people watching TCM today so I've spread the gospel of Elvis!!!!....Getlo
Getlo - we share one common belief at least...love for THE KING!
In America, this should be a National Holiday, I swear.
"I always liked that hillbilly."
I am watching it now also.
I dream a world where man no other man
will scorn. Where LOVE will bless the earth
and peace its paths adorn...
Omg I was thinking the exact same thing! My mom has a vhs/dvd player/burner and I went hunting down a blank dvd disc and the darn thing wouldn't work. I'd almost had it on dvd! They seriously need to consider releasing it on dvd. My mom was watching it tonight and thought that it was a great film as well and she's not that big of an Elvis fan.
Right on - rubbish that we can't see a special edition
I Watched it tonight too now JailHouse Rocks coming on
We will forever miss you at TCB
Tell Elvis we say HI
Yeah i am watch Jailhouse Rock Right Now
i have arip of on tour from laser disc and its not to bad wish like all of you that it will be released soon on dvd, man is ist taking long.
If you have iTunes and Apple TV you can download "On Tour" from the iTunes store. This is DVD quality and the best available at this time.
I have done this myself, and it's a good copy, and the only digital media version of "On Tour" you can get right now.
The Aspect ratio is as originally filmed and the sound is stereo.
A reasonable first issue at least.
At least this tells us that a digital master of "On Tour" has been prepared...
Man oh man....this movie is BEGGING for a "special edition" dvd verson!!!!
It's already a great film as is (well, I could live without the old gentleman describing how Elvis will get off the elevator), but with all the footage they have in the vaults....really missing a golden opportunity MGM!!!
"Don't tamper with the property of the U.S. Male"
t's astonishing to me how much pro shot concert footage is sitting in vaults - not used for documentories or tv specials or music videos
they really need to just put it all out on the FTD label - time they switched to or added concert films
and really, if the estate was okay putting a bonus chapter of fan shot footage of Elvis riding his horse at Graceland and a tiny clip of him entering the Houston Astrodome on that Presley by the Presleys - then they don't have a leg to stand on by refusing to seacure fan shot concert films - some of it is very watchable.
I agree, it's just crazy that they have a product all Elvis fans would want, and yet they let it sit in the vaults.
This item would be guaranteed to sell.
Don't they want to make money?
How can they issue all the other movies made by EP but not Elvis On Tour?
How is it that Apple iTunes store have the only legit digital copy for sale?
Even if all they did was put the original version on DVD it would sell.
I just can't see the reasoning behind this decision.
TCB-World...OPEN for business!!!
TTWII SE came out in early 2000s and it just did not meet the goals they set for the money they spent to reedit and refurbish-partly because they just did not market it properly and partly because they aired it on TCM before it hit the stores.
ON TCMs website they have a list of movies being requested for DVD release and SE treatment-and EOT was way down the list the last time I checked-which gives the impression that no great demand is there.
I wish it was not so-but IMO ....thats the way it is.
Just checked the TCM site and EOT is ranked 56 on their list for DVD release or SE treatment.

Work in Progress!
I got it on DVD in digital format from my DVR with Comcast. Only problem....occasionally the TCM logo appears in the lower part of the screen.
It looked good but definitely deserves to be cleaned up like TTWII.

About TheBullionDesk
Online since May 2000, TheBullionDesk has long been established as an authoritative voice on the gold and precious metals markets. A lot has changed since the site was launched, both in the gold market and on the site itself. At the time, gold was trading at about $280 an ounce and was considered a minority interest; off the radar of the man on the street. The seismic changes seen in the global economy in the last ten years have triggered the rehabilitation of gold as a key financial instrument and investment interest and thirst for information about precious metals have grown accordingly.
Responding to these changes, we have built a global reporting team with a deep knowledge of the precious metals markets and our key mission is to explain the events, trends and emerging factors in the gold and precious metals markets to our subscribers.
As part of the restructured FastMarkets website, TheBullionDesk retains its identity as a leading online source of precious metals information. We are committed to continuing the development of the site as a useful and free resource where you can visit frequently to check prices or other key data, read some of our recent editorial or blogs or view short term or long term trends on our chart selections. In addition to the key prices on this page, please check out our other special pages for detailed prices, data and charts for gold, silver, platinum and palladium. As well as keeping you up to date with the market, these pages seek to explain how the markets work in a clear and easy to explain way.

Design Studies
The International Journal for Design Research in Engineering, Architecture, Products and Systems
Design Studies is the only peer reviewed journal to approach the understanding of design processes from comparisons across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides a unique forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy. The journal publishes new research and scholarship concerned with the process of designing, and in principles, procedures and techniques relevant to the practice and pedagogy of design.
As design increases in complexity and in its social, cultural and economic importance, it is vital for researchers, educators and practising designers to stay abreast of the latest research and new ideas in this rapidly growing field; with its interdisciplinary coverage, Design Studies meets these needs with maximum effect.

Picked up my obsession when I was just a youngster... Perusing the craft shop, staring at the sparkly beads in the tube for a nickel. Saving until I could earn my first loom. Since then, I have tried many hobbies, all of which I enjoy, but none, compare to the 'Need to Bead'.
I am so happy that such a site, as this, is available to us at no charge. I love all the creativity and tools that is provided and am so grateful to be a part of the community.
I have not yet started an official 'blog' page, or anything that displays my work, but... that is my goal in the next 2 years.
Bead Happy!

Hi all,
It's been a while since i was here (under my old username of Paul FP - couldnt find any details so i created a new account) - hope you're all keeping well.
Anyway, been running Vuma Quads on my bike for a couple of years now and just snapped a 39t inner ring. Now, while i'm no 100kg rider, i do have reservations on the design of Zipp's normal sized rings for the compact spider and wondered if, in my long term absence from the forum, has there been any trick, reliable, aftermarket release from anyone of Vuma Quad compatibly rings?
Any thoughts appreciated - though maybe dont tell me to ditch the cranks, as i quite like them!

CUSTOMER REVIEWS FOR THIS PROMOTIONAL Pedometers
20 reviews
The ease or ordering.
I liked the ease of ordering and the personal experience of talking to a real sales associate.
Our Logo came out great!
It actually turned out better than we expected. My boss was very happy.
Some items(pedometers) did not work well. We also had a few (less than 10) empty boxes.
This product is being used for a walking program at work for the employees. The price was nice and the product is doing what it is expected to do: count steps.
I like the fact that this pedometer is inexpensive and easy to use. We don't need all the bells and whistles that are commonly offered for more money. The best thing about this pedometer is that it has a lid that closes, and is easily opened to look at the display. The other ones like it tend to have the reset button on the front and I found that I was constantly knocking it enough to activate it. Very frustrating. The type we ordered eliminates that with the lid!
It's difficult to fairly rate the product since they have not all been used yet, but based on appearance and initial functionality, I'm satisfied.
Good price point but smaller than I anticipated.
The pedometer has something in it that rattles when it is moved. Some kind of loose part inside and it is the same way with all of them. Seems like a poor design. The imprint proof that I received showed my black imprint on a light blue background and it looked great. However, when I received it, the pedometer is dark blue and the black imprint hardly shows at all. My rep was able to redo the order at half price but I'm still out the initial cost of the original order so I'm not very satisfied with that. I think more could have been done to make it right.

I would have to say, the Anvil Chorus, which my dear departed Italian Grandmother used to play for me (we would pound pillows with my toy hammers in time with the gypsies) was probably my first introduction to Opera at around age 4 or 5. She would then tell me scary stories of Le Zingare (the gypsies) in her home town, which made no sense what so ever, but I just nodded my head. Whenever my sister and I would get dressed up for Halloween, a holiday she could not grasp, she would call us Le Zingare, the gypsies. I have no idea why.
My uncle (Grandma's son) had an anthology of opera and classical music that he used to play. Another favorite was the Hungarian Rhapsody 2 ??????. I'd be bouncing off the walls when they played that just like in the famous Looney Toons cartoon. As I grew older I got into Carmen, Aida. I went to High School around 3 blocks from Lincoln Center. I used to buy standing room tickets for $2.50 USD after school and go to the opera. I didn't let anyone else in my school know as I probably would have been beaten up.
Paul, who is your favorite opera composer, and your favorite operas? Many people are high on Puccini here.

In the hills of south San Jose, Sunnyvale SWAT sniper Ralph Chavez peered through the scope of his rifle while trying to steady his aim.
Chavez squeezed the trigger and, after a slight delay, an audible 'ping' rang out from the metal target 300 yards away, triggering cheers from his fellow officers.
"That a-boy Ralphie!"
Chavez was participating in the 19th annual Best in the West Invitational SWAT Competition hosted by the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. Twenty-nine SWAT teams from took part in the two-day competition held on Sept. 20 and 21. The Mountain View Police Department did not participate this year.
Las Vegas Metro Police Department, the only team from outside California, finished first in the final team standings ahead of San Ramon and Pasadena. Sunnyvale Police Department took first place in the Vehicle Assault competition and Campbell police officer Dan Livingston came in first in the overall Top Gun individual standings.
"It's touted as a competition, but the real purpose is training," said Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith.
The competition included an obstacle course and individual and team shooting events that tested officers' physical conditioning, marksmanship and decision making.
Chavez, a 17-year veteran of Sunnyvale's police force, said shooting a target 300 yards away from a standing position was particularly challenging. Chavez finished in 72nd place in the individual Top Gun standings out of 172 competitors.
"When you're looking through your scope and the target is bouncing, you essentially have to time it," he said.
The sniper event featured a scenario called "Fallujah Sniper's Den"—which is based on an actual 2006 event—and was designed by Sgt. John Spagnola, sniper team leader on SERT, the Santa Clara County Sheriff's equivalent of SWAT.
Targets included balloons, human silhouettes and posters of armed men dressed in keffiyehs, a type of Arabic scarf. Suspect images come in a variety of depictions, from someone dressed in gang attire, or a woman carrying a knife, to a man holding a baby, said Santa Clara County Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Jose Cardoza. One target depicted a suicide bomber and was rigged with an explosive that blew up when the target was hit.
"The whole concept of snipers came from the military," said Spagnola, when asked about the military theme of the scenario. "The first snipers were in the American Revolution ... A lot of our guys that are on SWAT were in the military."
Over at the Top Gun event, Geoff Guerin of the Gilroy-Morgan Hill SWAT Team shot at targets, including moving "spinners," from a variety of distances and awkward positions.
"(It was) hard to get a good sight angle," said Guerin, commenting on one station where he had to lay prone behind a wood board and aim through a small triangular cut out.
The event was timed and started with a 30-yard run.
"This kind of recreates that elevated stress, gets your blood pumping ..." Guerin said. "Short of a real life event, it tests how you perform under pressure."
Other events also combined physical exertion and marksmanship. The Jungle Trail was particularly demanding, with officers having to run to multiple shooting stations after carrying a teammate up a steep hill.
"When your heart rate elevates, your body loses its fine motor skills," said Sgt. Simonson, a 12-year SERT veteran.
Simonson said since he joined SERT, advances in camera and robotic technology have improved officer safety.
"We can send in a robot to see if a suspect is barricaded," he said. "If he shoots it up, you're out $10,000."
One of these surveillance robots was on display nearby.
Vendors of firearms, vests, and other police equipment had set up to take advantage of the gathering of potential customers.
Firearms dealer Ryan Lokey stood behind a table with a Barrett Model 82A1 rifle on display. When people stopped by, he gave them his best sales pitch.
"You pull the trigger and you hit your target, first shot," said Lokey, touting the rifle's advanced sighting system. "It's cheating, (but) cheating is good for you guys."
Lokey said it took him over two years to get the necessary permits from the ATF, Morgan Hill Police Department and Department of Justice before he could open his store.
But he said a lifelong love of shooting motivated him to go through the process.
"My grandpa said if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life," said Lokey, who said he grew up shooting competitively and took 1st place in a marksmanship event at the 1996 Junior Olympics.
The shortest event of the competition was also one of the more dramatic.
The Vehicle Assault scenario simulated a motorcade that had come under attack. Following a fiery explosion, teams dismounted from a Suburban to confront armed men in keffiyehs arrayed behind several cars, many of them turned upside down or on their side.
Lt. Don Morrissey of the sheriff's office said the specific targets were chosen because they provided a smaller zone for targeting.
"The more difficult the shot, the more these guys have to be on their 'A' game," he said.
The full results of the competition can be found on the Sheriff's website under the tab Best of the West. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's department does not participate in this privately funded event because it is the host department.

It's only April but yet we've come across a fair amount of leaks, rumors, and alleged photos that supposedly shows off what we can expect from the next-gen iPhone. Of course none of this can be officially confirmed right now but thanks to the folks at French website, Nowhereelse.fr, they have teamed up with renowned designed Martin Hajek to create some additional concept images of what the next-gen iPhone could look like in a case.
As you can see in the image above, the design looks more or less the same as per previous designs, which we guess are mostly based on the allegedly leaked schematics of the iPhone. However this time it shows what the phone could look like if it were kept in a case and it is a pretty sleek affair.
In fact it seems that the schematics are showing off a design that is reminiscent of the design of the iPad Air and iPad mini which once again is a good thing as both devices are pretty sleek and have a very slim profile. The rendering and the cases also shows off the possible relocation of the power/wake button which has been moved to the right hand side of the phone, versus the top right hand corner.
Other than that it's pretty much what we've come to expect from the iPhone so far. Of course there's no way of telling if Apple will really design the phone to look like the renderings, but we can only hope that they do, or perhaps they might even surprise us with something better. In the meantime what do you guys make of these designs?

A Perl toolbox for regression tests
With a test suite, you can fix bugs and add new features without ruining the existing codebase.
A program that works right the first time is uncommon enough to make you suspicious. In test-driven development, developers first define a test case before implementing a feature. Inevitably, the test will fail at first, but as soon as the feature gets implemented – presto – the test suite gives a thumbs up. This technique motivates developers throughout the development lifecycle; each new test adds to the test suite and will be executed again and again as the project emerges. Small steps add up to a detailed test suite that no quality management department in the world would be capable of achieving. In case of ongoing development and refactoring, there is always some danger of a change introducing undesirable side effects. Having the ability to run hundreds of test cases at no cost takes the worries out of replacing parts of a system. Developers can roll out new releases on a regular basis and yet sleep tight and enjoy sweet dreams. You don't need to be an Extreme Programming enthusiast to see the benefits.

Tresca, Carlo: portrait of a rebel
Arriving in America in 1904, Carlo Tresca began a nearly forty-year stretch as an active revolutionary. Nunzio Pernicone's definitive biography chronicles Tresca's larger-than-life personality, his revolutionary apprenticeship in Sulmona, Italy, and his subsequent career as fighter for liberty until his untimely death in 1943. The story of his life - as newspaper editor, labor agitator, anarchist, anti-communist, street fighter, and opponent of fascism - illuminates the lost world of Italian-American radicalism.
Among friends and comrades Tresca counted revolutionary luminaries such as Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, "Big Bill" Haywood, Alexander Berkman, Emma Goldman, and countless sovversivi.
Review of Carlo Tresca: Portrait of a Rebel
Iain McKay reviews Nunzio Pernicone's book Carlo Tresca: Portrait of a Rebel.
Carlo Tresca is one of those rebel workers whose memory deserves to be honoured and Pernicone's excellent biography does just that. Pernicone's has previously produced an excellent history of the Italian anarchist movement ("Italian Anarchism: 1864-1892", Princeton University Press, 1993) and this work is of equal quality and of interest to anarchists.
Tresca, Carlo, 1879-1943
Short biography of the Italian-American anarchist Carlo Tresca, written by Nunzio Pernicone.
For three decades Tresca was a free-lance revolutionary paladin among Italian radicals in the United States. His political views had taken shape in his native Abruzzi, where he embraced socialism with the fiery militancy that characterized his entire career.

We in the print media, temporarily under siege — will not be castigated in this article. Lets concentrate on the medium watched by most Americans: cable and network news.
Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Florida senator Marco Rubio was explaining how immigration reform is not amnesty. Nothing new. So I turned to ABC and who's there, but Marco Rubio explaining how immigration reform is not amnesty. My salvation is a CBS report on why we should love our IRS.
Later I learned that Rubio appeared on SEVEN talk shows — to explain how immigration reform is not amnesty. Who could have forced ABC and NBC to be used in this self-aggrandizing and boring exercise? And why would Rubio do it to himself? The primaries are far away and it's not prudent to become a clown before he absolutely must.
The verdict is in: Both cable and networks are numbingly boring. Every bit of news, from the mundane to the magical, is snoozingly boring. It's a yawn, an Ambien-replacing brain fogger.
In the 80s, Genadi Gerasimov, a Soviet PR envoy, appeared on a TV show and was asked about the lack of media freedom in his country. Genadi responded: You Americans pride yourselves on your freedom of the press, so why is it that every evening, each network repeats the same news, often in the same order and phrasing? Can't your editors find other stories?
Because, dear Genadi, we aspire to optimum boringness!
Cable is no carrier of excitement either.
MSNBC and FOX are mirror images of each other. As a liberal, my heart is with MSNBC; but even I must admit that oftentimes it descends into evangelical liberalism. I shrivel when Al Sharpton, Lawrence O'Donnel or Ed Schultz, referring to John Boehner or Mitch McConnel,soulfully opine: Sir have you no shame? In its pursuit of blandness MSNBC relegated the over-emotional Schultz to Saturdays and is crowding its schedule with young interchangeables like Ezra Klein, Chris Hayes and Ari Malber.
FOX specializes in conservative kvetching.
Oh, they moan, why can't America understand that we stand for God-inspired truth and that our values will restore America's greatness. (Rush Limbaugh calls us MSNBCers "information-challenged," i.e. stupid.) Ad nauseam they repeat: generational theft, our children will pay for the deficit from here to eternity, and look at the fortune the taxpayer shells out for Air Force One, Michelle's wardrobe, and the grooming of Bo.
Paradoxically, CNN would be better off evangelizing for something. CNN's manifesto is like "Seinfeld" — be about nothing! Objectivity is noble, but nobility is boring. And Wolf Blitzer does not bring a fresh young voice to the CNN lineup.
In the morning each cable organization is ordered by its upstairs honchos to stay with a specific story. (We do understand that everyone on this Monday must stay with the attack on the Boston Marathon.) Most cables oblige to some extent — but CNN goes all the way. For example, it attached itself to the Carnival Cruise ship Triumph, which had lost its power, floating along while the passengers and crew were covered with offal. Poor Anderson Cooper, who had so valiantly reported on the Haitian earthquake, was reduced to interviewing passengers' cousins. At this point I switched to the Animal Planet channel.
Here's how networks and cable describe Kim Jun Un: the inexperienced, young, untested leader, is either 28, or 29, or maybe 30. Instead we could improvise: He hadn't been through the crucible of war and politics; coming of age in relatively peaceful times, he is eager to affirm himself; his age doesn't matter -- but his temperament does.Isn't this more creative?
But the cavalry is poised on the mountaintop. My newspaper, the Sun-Sentinel, has just won the Pulitzer Prize for public service journalism. Yeah, we in the print media have triumphed! . To know the truth and not be bored — bring the newspapers back full force!

Nuna Knits' Peggie Ehlers doesn't just peddle high quality yarns—she's at the helm of every step from breeding the sheep to spinning the fibers for a "farm to fashion" approach.

Created on the North Fork of Long Island, each hypo-allergenic bar is covered in wool for an all-natural loofah and soap combination.
Jonathan Cott
Susan Sontag $19
One of the contemporary world's foremost thinkers, Susan Sontag contributed a wealth of critical analysis to a wide variety of subjects, and her singular intellect is as informative as it is provocative.
