Boston Police report arresting a man who tried to rob a bank well after it was closed.
Police say Henry Soto, 33, of Dorchester, used a brick to smash open a door at the Citizen Bank branch at 572 Columbia Rd. around 12:10 a.m. today. That set off an alarm, which brought officers racing to the scene:
On arrival, officers observed an inner glass door leading directly into the bank lobby was damaged and noticed the suspect standing behind the teller counter. A quick thinking officer used his ATM Card to gain access to the ATM lobby allowing officers to climb through the broken glass door into the bank. The suspect ran from officers and headed to the rear of the bank. With no where else to run the suspect resisted officers and a brief struggle followed ending when the officers handcuffed the suspect.
Soto was charged with breaking and entering, trespassing, receiving stolen goods, destruction of personal property and resisting arrest.
Innocent, etc.
Free tagging:
I'm no expert
on the subject of breaking and entering, but it seems to me that busting into a bank after hours would probably not be the type of establishment I would choose. Is there anything in one, that's not in a vault, worth stealing? Even the pens are chained down.
Can you ever have enough
Can you ever have enough deposit slips?

criminals were smart? Chief Inspector Daniels - from The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three (1974 version).

The madness will only stop
when the people in the community refuse to accept it. Policing is a complement to community standards and blaming them is a waste of time.
It's easier to blame drugs,
It's easier to blame drugs, guns, and knives for violence and pass laws to ban them or hold symbolic yet useless vigils/marches/meetings than it is to deal with the root of the problem: people with no respect for life. Currently society blames violent actor's environment, upbringing, financial status, ability to get their hands on banned items, rather than addressing that some people are just shitty people that need to be dealt with harshly.
Society fails to note the majority of people in terrible environments, with questionable upbringings, bad financial status, and easy access to banned items DON'T TURN INTO MURDEROUS SCUMBAGS. It is all a matter of individual character and how a neighborhood deals with bad characters.

Abuse videos are a guerilla tactic to turn public opinion against animal agriculture.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
Are you fed up yet with undercover videos that show cows being mistreated?
Are you sick and tired yet of how it makes you feel to see the dairy industry's image trashed?
Are you scared yet that the public's patience for listening to dairying's side of the story is wearing thin?
Do you understand yet that you are in a war with terrorists who will use and justify any guerilla tactic to sabotage your industry and put you out of business?
The latest animal abuse images to surface, taken in Idaho at one of the biggest dairies in the U.S., should be a wake-up call about several harsh realities, including:
1. The videos are not being taken by longtime dairy employees who are trying to protect cows or who have an ax to grind with the dairy. Instead they are taken by infiltrators from animal rights groups who got hired so they could film anything that looks like it might be abuse.
2. Dairies that are very large or whose owners have high profiles are prime targets.
3. Consumers soon forget the dairy industry's deeply sincere assurances that, "This was an isolated incident that in no way represents what is normal and acceptable on farms" which come later. The disturbing images of abuse last much, much longer.
4. Videos will continue being made as long as dairy owners make it so easy for terrorist groups to put spies on their facilities.
Sure, it gets harder every day to find people who are willing to work on dairies. But the last thing you should do is stop being careful. Cows are your business and reputation, and there are groups out there that want to ruin both of them.
That's why hiring people who have access to your animals is perhaps the most important job you have. That's why carefully screening job applicants even if it means hiring professionals to do it is worth all the time, effort and cost involved. Because if you don't take that job dead seriously, the terrorists will eventually win.

Lior Lapid believes in the power of chess. More than just a game, Lapid said, it's a nontraditional way to teach kids critical thinking and math skills.
Lapid has introduced dozens of Douglas County School District students to the game through summer camps and chess clubs launched at several elementary schools last year. He plans to continue the clubs with the new school year.
"I would welcome him back," Coyote Creek Elementary Principal Gigi Whalen said. "The kids really loved it. And I think (chess) has a lot of math and problem solving that gets kids to do critical thinking."
Lapid, founder of PALS Chess Academy, also started clubs at Heritage, Fox Creek and Copper Mesa elementary schools, as well as the Platte River and STEM charter schools.
"Chess has been my passion since I was a boy," said Lapid, a Denver resident originally from Israel. "Chess is a lot more popular there. It's now being taught as part of the school system in 30 countries, including Israel. My goal is to popularize it here."
Research backs up Lapid's contention that chess helps players recognize complex patterns, and increases problem-solving skills. Several national organizations are dedicated to promoting the game in schools.
"Education in this country has been suffering to some extent and test scores reflect that," Lapid said. "I'm not saying chess is the solution. But there is a lot of evidence that suggests it can help with critical thinking, planning ahead, arithmetic, algebra.
"I've seen kids who are otherwise socially awkward or having problems with their self-esteem; chess for a lot of them gives them something to feel more confident about, and it's also an alternative to video games."
Lapid's teaching methods focus on keeping the game fun.
"Sometimes chess is perceived as this very dry, mathematical activity," he said. "I think you can teach it with story-telling and humor."
Ten-year-old Ashley Becker attested to the fun aspect. The STEM Middle School student attended a summer chess camp hosted by Lapid at Heritage Elementary.
"It was really fun," she said. "We even got to invent our own kinds of chess. When you have the right teacher, they can make the learning really intriguing."
Becker believes that learning carries over into the classroom.
"Sometimes when I would come back from a chess game, I would feel ready for school and ready to learn about anything," she said.
Castle Pines parent Dion Boeke saw the social benefits when his shy son Torin attended a summer camp.
"It was a different way to socialize," Boeke said. "By the end of the week, he had really good friends there. I think that game really brought them together."
Boeke's also sold on the game as an educational tool, and hopes to start a club at Timber Trail Elementary.
"I think it teaches them to think strategically and critically," he said. "It's a way for them to actively learn as opposed to just passively playing video games or something like that."
Mile High Chess Club, Colorado Master Chess Inc. and Strategic Kids also offer chess programs in Douglas County schools.

There are so many fun activities in San Diego that are great for the whole family, the only downside is the price-tags on these outings can quickly add up if you're not careful. If you're traveling on a budget, this list of helpful tips put together by the Pacific Inn can help you have all the fun while being frugal.
Sea World is a must-see attraction if you're visiting San Diego. However, as we all know, theme park food is usually mediocre in taste but high in price. That's why we recommend checking out a San Diego restaurant near SeaWorld instead of waiting until you're inside the park. Our favorite is the Broken Yolk Cafe just minutes from Sea World's entrance. This breakfast cafe serves all different kinds of breakfast favorites in large portioned plates for very reasonable prices.
Another local attraction that can get pricey is the San Diego Zoo. The first way you can save money is by purchasing your ticket through Pacific Inn. If you book a room at this cheap downtown San Diego hotel, you can buy Zoo admission tickets for 15% off! We also recommend packing a lunch, which is easy if you book one of our suites with a kitchenette. You can prepare all your food here instead of wasting money eating out.
Lastly, while the Padre's recently wrapped up their 2013 season, next year's ball games will be here before you know it. It's not necessary to spend a fortune to have fun at a baseball game. Save some money and buy cheap Petco Park seats in the top bleachers or in their lawn section. And if you're going with a large group buying in bulk can save everyone some moolah!
Visiting San Diego doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg, especially when you book and save with Pacific Inn & Suites. Call 1-800-571-2933 to find out more information on our discounts or to book a room.

The Virus Zero Portable Air Sterilizer uses award-winning Samsung Super Plasma Ion (SPI) Technology to sterilize rooms up to 231 square feet without the need for any replacement filters. The included car adapter allows you to keep the air in your car clean on your daily commutes and vacation road trips. Samsung's new SPI technology is capable of:
- Eliminating allergens, fungi, bacteria, and mold
- Neutralizing active oxygen radicals
- Quickly eliminating airborne viruses
- Filterless air sterilization
Active hydrogen and oxygen ions that are generated eliminate harmful biological contaminants and active oxygen, which is scientifically linked to aging and skin diseases. The active hydrogen and oxygen ions form hydroperoxy radicals (HOO-) that react with positively charge airborne contaminants to form water vapor, rendering the contaminants harmless. OH-radicals react with active hydrogen to form water vapor too! Breathe comfortably and stay healthy.
Unlike other air purifiers that only filters air that passes through the purifier itself, the Virus Zero Air Sterilizer emits active hydrogen and oxygen ions that fill the room Extensive research has been conducted internationally to certify the effectiveness of SPi Technology. Institutions such as Kitasato Environmental Science Center, Yonsei University, Kisato Medical Center, Korea Consuming Environmental Science Center, British Allergy Foundation, Research Triangle Institute, Seoul Toxicology Laboratory, and Hiroshima University.
Ozone tests for the Virus Zero Protable Air Sterilizer have deemed this sterilizer Ozone Free. High quality cars in Asia and international hospitals are beginning to integrate SPi technology into their operations to deliver clean air to their customers and patients.

Is Nazem Kadri ready for the NHL?
A. Bates
July 04 2012 02:44AM
In a conference call after his acquisition of James Van Riemsdyk, Brian Burke mentioned that Nazem Kadri could be looked at to fill a spot at centre ice for the Maple Leafs next year. This might be somewhat surprising to some, as Kadri has played on the wing for nearly every shift of his pro career.
However, during the Calder Cup Playoffs this year Kadri was switched to centre where he obviously impressed Burke with his performance. Actually, it would be tough for anyone not to be impressed with his performance seeing as he was an integral piece to the Marlies Calder Cup final berth (which he unfortunately didn't play in due to injury). He scored three goals and 10 points in 11 AHL playoff games.
Kadri has played 51 games in the NHL after two seasons of being shuttled back and forth between Ricoh and the ACC. His point totals look uninspiring on the surface as he only has 19 points in those 51 games. However, If you pro-rate those 19 points to a full 82 game season he would have 31 points. Not bad for a prospect's first full NHL season.
To go along with adequate point totals Kadri has some nice possession numbers. In his first two NHL seasons he has been one of the better Leafs at driving play towards the opposite goaltender. He was second in Corsi REL to only Grabovski last year and fourth in Corsi REL in 2010/11 with the MGK line all ahead of him. 2010/11's numbers are actually very inspiring: Kadri was one of the best possession players the Leafs had against some pretty tough competition.
Here's a table of Kadri's possession, penalty and scoring stats:
Kadri isn't likely going to please very many fair-weather fans unless he puts together a 40+ season next year - something I fully expect him to come close to doing, if he is given the right opportunity. Unfortunately this right opportunity is Kadri being placed with players that can take pressure off of him and put the puck in the back of the net, something the Maple Leafs don't have an abundance of after Kessel and Grabovski.
Two players that Ron Wilson and Randy Carlyle paired Kadri up with last year were Matt Lombardi and Clarke MacArthur (He played with both around 44% of his TOI). MacArthur is almost exactly the kind of player that will compliment Kadri as he transitions into a fulltime NHL'er: he's good at driving play, has a high sh% and is a near lock to score 20 goals. The reason I mention high sh% as a positive is because Kadri has some nice play making abilities and that should translate into a lot of assists if hes playing with players who normally have a high sh%.
Kadri will be traded in the next few days.
Kadri will likely have an adequate career in the NHL. Size aside, I think that it can be debated as to whether he has at this time earned the opportunity to play a regular shift in the NHL. Forty points in the AHL is not exactly trail blazing. The problem is of course how to find the ice time for him on a Randy Carlyle coached team which now has seven top six forwards with the addition of VanReimsdyk, especially when Kadri is not physical enough to play with the bottom six group of grinders, checkers and enforcers?
I agree with Sudr that Kadri is destined to be traded. Probably in a package for either a goalie or a "big" center. Hopefully.
Another question remains. What is to be done with Connolly? I don't see a fit for him on a Carlyle team. Can he play wing on a checking line with McClement and Kulemin? That leave Steckel centering Brown and either Lombardi or Frattin. More grit needs to inserted into the bottom two lines. So either Connolly or Lombardi will need to be moved in order to free up a roster spot. I don't see Carlyle dressing both of these guys at the same time and similarily I can't see Burke wanting keep one of these guys and their big salaries in the press box all year especially when Komisarek (4.5 M) is going to be there half of the time too.

Day 2: 4th St. Retro Row, Long Beach
Posted on: Tuesday, February 21, 2012
Before moving to San Luis Obispo, I lived in Belmont Shore, Long Beach. I loved it. I wanted to share some of my favorite places with Stacy, so this is where we went next.
When I lived there, there were only a handful of stores on 4th street. Now there are blocks of them, most specializing in mid century furniture and accessories, and also vintage clothing stores.
After all the junking we did on Saturday, were we done? Not by a long shot! Before we left, we were armed with a lot of places to check out. Kathy is pretty savvy with L.A. shopping and good food, and she told us about a great breakfast place, Urth Caffé--I believe there are 4 locations. We are already looking forward to a return visit, healthy and delicious food and coffee! Thanks Kathy!!
Steve (from the Inn Paradiso post seen here) thought we would all enjoy the Melrose Trading Post which is held every Sunday at Fairfax high school. Thanks Steve!! This flea costs $2 to get in and is a great mix of vintage and art.
This art stopped me in my tracks--it's no mystery which piece i am now coveting, the winnebego of course.
When we asked for a business card, without missing a beat, he sat down, tore the paper and took out his sharpie and drew his card simply and perfectly!
There are so many resources to get info on good places from. We now have Google, Yelp, blogs, magazines and listening to friends and locals of course. On this trip, we used them all. We got lucky on this one!
Day 1: Road Trippin' to the O.C. and L.A.
Posted on: Monday, February 20, 2012
My girl turned 'sweet 16' and she wanted to spend it at Disneyland with two close girlfriends that she grew up with. Good enough reason to get some shopping and inspiration in while the girls did their thing, right? Stacy and I dropped them off in the morning and headed to two shopping areas (aka The Antimalls) in the O.C. that we had read about. Antimalls, meaning there no chain stores--the only exception being urban outfitters, as this was one of the original stores.
One is called 'The Lab' and the other right across the street is 'The Camp'. We were hungry and in need of nourishment so we started at The Camp, and put our names in at The Old Vine Café (thanks to my friend Margaret for the recommendation--she always knows the cool new eateries). We were charmed as we walked up and saw the waiting area--long tables, hammocks, and tractor seats all amongst succulents and tall grasses. The menus were attached to beautiful oil paintings. Stacy is a great travel partner because she loves to share food, which allows us to try different things on the menu! We had the most amazing pumpkin/pecan french toast, and a poached egg dish with parmesean crusted green tomatoes, yummy.
The main store at The Camp is an indie department store called Seed People's Market. I think I walked in through the wide opened glass doors with my jaw dropped. The displays, the art, the layout, and the merchandise choices, dang!
This collage was newspaper cutouts on black and simple white frames. I didnt get pictures of the clothing area, but I was in Patagonia heaven! It was very sporty/outdoorsy oriented, and all very stylish at that.
The one theme that was continued through both Antimalls was the "store within a vintage trailer" theme. Love! We own vintage trailers and are suckers for all things "campy". There was one airstream with a succulent shop, one with all things bicycle, a vintage trailer with a record store, and another with vintage clothes and finds.
One of my favorite things to do is hang out at magazine stands, shops, newstands, book stores...this one was tucked in a lovely sitting area.
I loved that each of the parking spaces had little messages, what a way to start or end the day--with a little ditty!
We can't wait to go back. Stay tuned for day two!

Skip to comments.Napolitano: Watch for Obama to ban ammo by EO through EPA action
Posted on 02/12/2013 11:33:51 AM PST by pabianice
Judge Napolitano on Fox: Watch for Obama in his SOTU message tonight to indicate he "can't wait" for Congress to act and thus will use EOs to circumvent the law. He will likely order the EPA to tax ammunition to pay for "the environmental damage and clean-up." In general, he believes Obama will bury Congress in a siege of EOs, knowing that Congress will not stop him. Only Congress can levy taxes, so this sets-up a fight between Obama and the so far eunich House, a fight he wants.
That's the exact method I thought he would use.
It makes sese when you think of it.
First the Government buys up all the ammo , then they stop more from being produced.
Soon there will be a black market ammunition business rolling in.
Sic semper tyrannus.
Stop him via court action...
(....quite possibly save time)
Article 1 - The Legislative Branch
Section 7 - Revenue Bills, Legislative Process, Presidential Veto
All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.
He sure is acting like a dick
NRA should stage a march on DC either in Mrch or April for all freedom loving pro 2nd amendment patriots.
Prediction: If attempted, the blow-back will make Dorner look like a piker.
a fight he wants....
He will have it. Keep hitting that hornet's nest see what happens.
Yup. The EPA.
Lead causes cancer in ducks/peasant...excuse me,,,pheasants, ergo bullets must be banned.
Between Django and Dorner,
I think a certain segment of our society is getting
0bama seems to want to start Civil War V2.0.
that is why all the different departments are putting out bis for millions of rounds of ammo....they will be on the books for existing contracts? Or is are they an attempt to suck up all the available inventory?
Discussion concludes that Obama is going Full Stalin now that he doesn't have to fool any voters anymore. Standby for a deluge of unlawful executive orders allowing him to rule as a dictator. He knows the gutless House doesn't have the nerve to oppose him. We live in interesting times. To all us frogs, does the water seem to be getting a little warmer?
I keep seeing stuff like this and tattletale bullets. It's not that difficult to manufacture ammunition — you can do it in your basement. All the president is doing is motivating an already motivated group to accelerate their self-sufficiency. It's as if the left cannot see far enough ahead to anticipate reaction.
Dictators know no limits to their power. Narcissistic dictators are the most dangerous...but I repeat myself.
April 19 would be good.
You have a way with words! (-:
Seems to? Ya think?
Remember that it is a leftist's wet dream to use the power of the state to murder those that resist them.
(Placing Tin Foil Hat squarely on head..... Ahem!)
Does this explain the orders for > 1 billion rounds of ammo for the DHS, because they can lock up all ammo manufacture for a year or two so even re-loaders can't get bullets?
Not a problem if you have Roberts in your pocket.
But he won't ban ammo. He'll just tax it out of manufacture. Roberts has already ruled that the government can tax you into obeying ObamaCare; why not into obeying AmmoCare?
You're correct, of course.
Taxing is far more beneficial to the govt.
Just like tobacco policy.
**** "Report: unnamed aides say re-election has changed President Obama"

All I know is that Romney would have done the same or worse! /< sarcasm>
a power he does not have
"...lead causes cancer in pheasants...."
Please, cite your source for this claim. Or did I miss the sarcasm tag?
Did our Forefathers intend for us the right to bear UNLOADED arms? I don't think so. I sure hope the Judge is wrong on this one. IMPEACH OBAMA FOUR YEARS AGO!
I read something affirming that in the past few weeks myself.
All the LIVs are probably unaware of this but...
the issue of restricting ammo has already been judicially addressed and ruled to be a defacto ban on firearms and therefore in violation of the 2nd amendment.
Of course, they don't really care about that, either.
Paging Ted Nugent. You MUST say something at the SOTU speech, Ted. Do it.
time to stop investing in guns and start investing in re-loading equipment, smelting equipment, and used car batteries (source of lead)....
It certainly does look that way.
Watching things fall apart a lot more quickly than I had ever imagined.
The real satan did not come out after the election...it has always been there for those who chose to see it.
This guy was a shove or two within going over the edge a few times over the past year especially. Unfortunately the gutless wonders in the Congress never pushed his levers to the brink. Statemanship and courtsey prevailed over being direct and confrontational. Rather than go on and call the bastard a liar, creep and POS, they called him Mr. President and deferred to his demeanor. When he virtually unclothed, in a leterary fashion, Paul Ryan, no one said mumm about how he did that. Anyway, they made our bed and we now have to lay in it.
[ I may be mistaken(don't tell my wife), but I do believe the USSC has determined that ammo is a integral component of a firearm and are covered under the 2nd Amendment ]
They would just put the fines on ALL of the LEAD ammo and tell us that only approved by the EPA as lead free would be exempt...
They would also declare steel shot as a pollutant as well as powder residue and gas and that would be enouggh to kill the entire bullet market with crazy fees...
For instance:
Shotgun Shell
Plastic shell and holder thingie - contains BPA - pollutant
Lead shot - contains lead - pollutant
Steel shot - contains iron which can damage environmentally sensitive areas - pollutant
Gunpowder - contains nitates - pollutant
Brass casing - contains zinc - pollutant
Primer - Materials in primer - pollutant
Good luck everyone
We'll see...
I don't see how this would pass constitutional muster any more than an Executive Order baning guns. Bullets are an essential component to guns and without them guns are little more than poor cudgels, so they should be protected by the 2nd amendment equally. Or to put it in perspective, it would be as if a president in the 1800s tried to circumvent the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of the press by banning the printing press.
They don't give a crap about the 2nd amend, they will try any weasel way they can to screw it over if not by outright ban, but by auxillary means.
Remeber these are the people who LIVE by the motto: The End Justify the MEANS!
LOL! Obama knows the GOP won't do it and that the media will protect him if they even try it.
1) Power
2) Racist Vendetta against 'whites'
3) Power
4) The supremacy of the mohammedan death cult
5) Power
6) Complete subjugation of all people to the All Encompassing State
7) Power
8) Theft of all wealth on behalf of his cronies
9) Power.
Yeah, they've figured out that they can't touch the guns, but can still get the desired effects by going after the ammunition. I think this is the real reason behind all the huge federal ammunition purchases...to both drive up prices and ultimately dry up the ammo markets.
I think he does.
I am not sure he will get it, but he just might.
What about all that crap that is naturally occuring in the environment? Except for plastics everything else can be found in large amounts just about everywhere.

If you're even a slight fan of Atlus' highly praised Persona series, then you're in for quite a bit of information.
First off, and most importantly, P4P is happening and is titled Persona 4: The Golden. What might irk some people, however, is that it's going to be for Vita. Most likely handheld exclusive. (As if I didn't have enough problems deciding which handheld to pick up between Nintendo and Sony)
- It will include 1.5 times the amount of voice-overs seen in the PS2 version
- Marie, voiced by Kana Hanazawa, is one of the new characters.
- Out in Japan in spring 2012, it will utilize the "communications capabilities" of PlayStation Vita.
Here's an article from Siilconera for those interested.
A few scans have turned up too, luckily for you rabid Persona fans.
Spoiler!Here's Marie. I'm banking on her being a new party member, at the very least an integral character. She won't be the only new character either.
Ahh Yeahh, MC ridin in style.
If anyone's up to the task of translating that be my guest. I have enough trouble with just Hiragana.
In even more surprising news, a new fighting game comprised of Persona characters is in development. The masterminds behind the project? Well besides the usual dream team of Hashino as director, Meguro as composer and Soejima as artist, Atlus has enlisted Arc System Works, the developers behind Blazblue, to handle this project.
Officially titled, "Persona 4 G: Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena", it's slated for release in Japanese arcades Spring 2012, and then on PS3 and 360 in the summer.
Confirmed characters so far include: P4 Protagonist(Going by his anime alias Yu Narukami) Good ol Brosuke Hanamura, Ms. Meat Lover Chie Satonaka, and Aigis!?! That's right characters from Persona 3 will also be making appearances as playable characters. On an interesting note the game takes place two months after the end of Persona 4, and will serve as a continuation to it's story. The tournament is outrageously enough being hosted by Teddy. BEARY suspicious.
Lastly, the band's back together. Persona 5 will have the same crew behind it as the last two great installments. Always nice to see confirmation that work is being done on the next greatest RPG. Here's hoping TGS gives us official confirmation. Certainly wouldn't doubt it will all the Persona hype going around lately. The new anime seems to be coincidentally placed now doesn't it?
If you can't hold on for all these juicy new installments, Persona 2 Innocent Sin is set to release September 20th for PSP, not even a month away. I'm sure that will help ease some of the pain of having to wait anxiously for this storm of new content.

|In response to Re: new Price Pfister widespread faucet leaks!!
: Please Help! I installed a new Price Pfister widespread faucet (8") and got it all in, but it leaks where the "twist Pfit" connector hose meets the valves. At first it only leaked on one side (cold water). I called Price Pfister and they suggested turning it around to see if it was the valve or the hose that was the problem. I did that and now both sides (hot and cold) leak. If you are familure with these faucets, the connector hose between both valves and the sink spout is one piece that just slides on over the vlave opening. There are two little washers on the valve that are supposed to keep the water from leaking, they both appear intact and undamaged. I'm not an engineer but it seems to me that the pressure of all the water going through that small of a space is more than those washers can seal in. See my diagram, the part in green slides over the area in blue and the washers on the top and bottom supposedly form a seal. It's too late for me to take the product back so if I can make this work I'm out $140! Please help!
Hose positioning is very important on wide spread faucets. You cannot have a sharp bend at the valve connection. LonnythePlumber

Description from Herman Miller
Charles and Ray Eames realized their first successful, single-shell form in 1950 with the Molded Fiberglass Chairs. However, when the environmental risks associated with fiberglass production became more widely understood, the decision was made to discontinue fiberglass shell production until a more suitable material could be found. In 2004, Herman Miller reintroduced the Molded Plastic Chair in polypropylene. In addition to being 100 percent recyclable, the polypropylene shell chair's subtle matte texture offers a soft tactility as well as notable durability.
The chairs are available in both the arm and side chair formats in five archival colorsor upholsteryand can be configured with a choice of wire, dowel leg, stacking, rocker, and 4-leg bases. An array of trim, finely tailored Hopsak fabrics designed by Alexander Girard, Herman Millers Textile Director from 1952 to 1973, round out the collection of shell customization options, fully restoring the integrity of the original 1953 shell chair offerings. All chairs can be recycled through the Herman Miller Take Back Program.

Asada at same age as Eliza. Just one example of how growth affects the skater. And IMO far superior then to Eliza now
PS. Winning nationals an international star does not make....and mirai has had her struggles through growth...so..case in point... 14 years old is 14 years old.

Lets wait until next year when Liza has grown and see if she can still give those amazing performances.
Mao had her jump technique issues from the beginning but got in trouble only when thet started calling Urs and e. It is not her growth that hit.
GPF will be awesome this year, with Caro, Alissa , Akiko and probably Mao and Adelina, nobody hypes Liza to win with those skaters alltogether. So far her press conferences are nice, she wanted to make the gpf this season, so all well.
^or just comment on this thread for what it is, the 2011 TEB competition. They say that by 12/2012 earth will be destroyed. GPF 2012 wont be held probably.Lets wait until next year when Liza has grown and see if she can still give those amazing performances.
Oh, and you are wrong about that. Every single person's body changes at different times. Actually, your body can change when you go 12-13 or 13-14 as much as 16-17. At the same time, it is possible for a person's body type to never dramatically change.
Everyone is playing the "if" game. "Well, you wait and see if she grows a whole foot and gets 90 pounds fatter and THEN she won't be able to jump like a 'bat out of hell'." Seriously? Don't get bitter when a person deservingly wins a competition.
Plus the "well-trained monkey" thing... There are many people much older than Liza who look a lot like trained monkeys. That does not necessarily have to do with age. A skater may be 20 or older and look completely unnatural in any of their movements.
Alll correct. The fact is and always will be that she is well trained 14 year old prebuscent skater. Nothing more. Nothing less. In this sport I believe that means very little. Time will tell.
Huh. I would think being well trained would mean a lot in figure skating. Having good technique could well help Eliza survive puberty - at least she'll be in a better shape to confront it than, say Caroline Zhang. I personally thought she was wonderfully expressive and musical for someone so young. Also, she had a determined and focused look on her face that was reminiscent of Michelle Kwan. I really enjoyed her performance and I sure hope she continues to do well. It's fun to have a new lady to get excited about these days.
I also enjoyed Carolina today. I thought she put a lot more into her performance this time than Alissa.... Congrats to the top three!
Winning a gold medal in the Grand Prix is cool whatever your age. You seem to be saying that any little 14-year-old monkey can do it. As far as i know, no other 14-year-old monkey ever has. Not Asada, not Kim, not Lipinski, not Kwan.
The future? Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
I like Alissa exhibitions a lot actually, but her competitive programs dont work for me. Still with all the season and how it turned out I dont think I would want another lady in GPF instead of her.

I'm going to say this as well I find you calling Elizaveta a trained monkey to be highly offensive. She's a human being with feelings emotions, not an animal. Girls her age DO feel pressure look how Elizaveta handled her JGP debut, and Adelina handled her Senior debut. They understand pain, and they especially have feelings. Try telling a freshman in high school, which is Tukt's age that they are trained monkeys, and see how they react. For you especially to disclose a rumor and not thinking about the consquences of said rumor is even more upsetting.
I will say this too all of these skaters most of them started out as junior prodigies.
I have to admit that I thought Mirai was pretty much finish growing at that point. Well I thought she might grow a lil more but not as much as she has. She paints a different picture on the ice for me now. It's not the same.Did people bother that Mirai went to Olympics at 16? Cause she had not grown yet either.
so, part of me is conflicted about this because I don't really understand why there are different age rules for GP, Worlds, and Olympics...and wish there weren't. The other part of me says: Go Liz!!! wow. Go for it, do it, keep wowing me!!! loved it!

Listen to Chris Brown Radio on iHeartRadio
Karrueche Tran is Chris Brown's "Woman Crush Wednesday" — even though the couple split last month.
On Wednesday evening, the singer posted a photo of Tran to his Instagram page with the hashtag, "#WCW!"
He also shared a long message about soulmates, calling it "inspiring."
Brown and Tran's on-and-off relationship was recently off again, with their camps disagreeing on who dumped who.
For the record, the performer was not Tran's "Man Crush Monday."

It Pays to be an Association Member
Breeders of purebred cattle are truly making an investment in becoming seedstock producers for the beef cattle industry. As such, it is very important cattle breeders in this segment of the industry identify closely with their breed's association to help shape the direction of their breed and to be aware of current developments.
The obvious, immediate reason for membership is to receive membership fees (generally non-members pay twice the fee members pay). Members receive many other services non-members do not in addition to being able to vote on vital breed and industry issues. If you are not already a member of the American Hereford Association, download a membership application below, or contact the association office at 816-842-3757 if you have additional questions.
When you have completed the application, send it with the proper fee to the Association. Upon approval by the Board of Directors, a membership certificate will be issued and you will receive official notice you have become a member of the AHA.
- Recording Membership: Download Application
Recording memberships are annual memberships issued by the Association in the name of an individual, farm or ranch, partnership or corporation. The recording member must pay annual dues annually.
Recording members may attend all meetings of the Association and have voting rights at all official membership meetings.
A recording member also saves in service fees charged for registration and transfer of Hereford cattle.

Love the shoes but they hurt
"I really wanted these to turn out but they are a killer on your feet. They run small and the wedge is too steep so your foot slides forward. They were just a little off when they designed these cuties."
