The Bauer Supreme S180 Ice Hockey Skate delivers elite-level performance without breaking the bank. The S180 debuts the featherlight Curv Composite quarter package, also found on the 1S, which provides elite-level stiffness and responsiveness. The quarter was designed to be as anatomically correct as possible, meaning it hugs the foot like a glove even before they are heat molded.
The Bauer Supreme S170 Ice Hockey Skates are a feature-filled, mid-price point skate that offers plenty of performance for the intermediate to advanced level player. The Bauer S170 skate has a 3D-lasted boot, made of lightweight Tech Mesh for proper support and stability.

The Limited Edition Bauer Supreme S160 Skates boasts a black tongue, a blacked out quarter package and a black felt tongue to a dark, sleek look instead of bright yellow accents that the standard S160 features.

Internally, the S150 features a hydrophobic liner that keeps a player's foot dry and comfortable.

This former A+ list mostly movie actor who hangs on to A list strictly because of his name hates his new movie role. The role has him looking well beyond his years and as a result is having to pay for sex which he is loathe to do.
Richard Gere
"result is having to pay for sex which he is loathe to do."
Sideeye, Sure he does.ReplyCancel
Can't he simply get out if costume / character?
Anyway, who knew jerbals were so discriminating?
"Oh, whoa is me. This won't feel nearly as good because I had to pay this gorgeous woman to sleep with me. I feel so unfulfilled"ReplyCancel
He was just in Best Exotic Marigold Hotel 2. Maybe he had to develop a pot belly, or grow an ugly beard, or look visibly old in some other fashion.ReplyCancel
How much is he paying?? (Just out of curiousity.)ReplyCancel
Hes in his late fifties or early sixties with a full head of grey hair and he was married forever to Carey Lowell and hes out paying for sex because hes not Richard Gere anymore? B.s.ReplyCancel
He's gross.ReplyCancel
I bet his mantra every morning is "I was married to Cindy Crawford,bitches"
Over and over again. Probably more effective than coffee as a wake me up.
No. Even if he gained weight, a lot of it, even if he lost his hair, all of it, he still wouldn't have to pay for sex.
a) his face is still handsome. But that's irrelevant, because
b) fame hos will sleep with ANY man who has money/power. He can be a complete troll. Give me a break. And yes, there are plenty of very young, very beautiful fame hos.
No way. He's Richard Gere!ReplyCancel
Maybe ladies over 35 will wont pay for sex but for some these Youngs one he will.ReplyCancel
Good JOB , Karen!!!ReplyCancel
Padma Lakshmi only dresses cheap, but she charges the BIG bucks! Pay up Old Man Gere.ReplyCancel
Is he in another country where they don't know who he is? If Cavali can get some young model hottie, so can Richard.ReplyCancel
This is funny timing bc yesterday I watched the Curb Your Enthusiasm where someone spreads a rumor about Larry that he stuck a gerbil up his butt and I was wondering if Larry based it on something he knew about Richard GereReplyCancel
u know what richard…bite me. u didn't get laid enough when u were pretty? some guys NEVER see that much action in their lifetime for free. suck it up. aging IS what it IS. u r no longer an adonis…deal with it. ((eyeroll))ReplyCancel
He is shooting a movie in which he plays a homeless man. He has to look pretty bad for the role, he grew a beard, stopped grooming himself, etc. In fact, there was an article in the NY Daily News bout how some woman gave him money thinking he really WAS homeless.ReplyCancel
This is B.S. because all he has to do is call me.ReplyCancel
Keep in mind even for celeb men there's a point after which their advancing age outstrips their fame and wealth. Sure there are some like Connery or even maybe Nicholson who have that old man charm but even they have stories of them paying. For a guy like Gere who's a jerk who's basically always gotten by on looks it believable that he could have to pay if there's a sudden steep decrease in attractiveness. They may not Always pay after that point but where they used to be able to get any girl, fewer will be able to give him a free roll. Sucks when those dudes hit the wall but it happens (looking at you Clooney).ReplyCancel
Perfect example: Gene SimmonsReplyCancel
Gene Simmons is in no way comparable to Richard gere. Gene Simmons was never pretty.
If gere is paying for it, it's because he wants to, not because he has to. When a man is worth a hundred million, it doesn't matter what he looks or smells like, I'm ashamed to say of my own gender, but there is always some woman who will do him simply because he is rich. However this is Richard gere, and no way he can't get laid for free. He's still attractive, he's still Richard gere and he's still filthy rich,ReplyCancel
If Richard had to pay for it, this world is going to hell.ReplyCancel
If he's paying, it's b/c he wants a professional (discretion, talent and no strings attached, for starters), not for lack of opportunities.
I'm willing to bet that MANY gorgeous and uninhibited women would love to spend an hour or two with him for free.
At the end of the day, an old and ragged Richard Gere is still *Richard Gere*.ReplyCancel
NomNom and others have it right. Young, gorgeous starlets would do him for publicity and baubles.
If he's paying it's because he's paying them to leave or to indulge in something unusual.ReplyCancel
Didn't say he HAD to pay just that the free options fall as attractiveness goes. For a guy who's used to the cream of the crop he's prob not going to slum for the average chicks that'd do him,he'll pay to keep the relative level of talent high. Look at him like the former 10 at the club who's getting older. Sure the average schlubs still want to do her but she's used to they top guys taking a run at her. She's not going to aim lower causes in doing that she'd be admitting she's not as hot as she once was.ReplyCancel
I am ashamed to admit that I still find Richard Gere attractiveReplyCancel
A rich movie star getting older doesn't face the same issues that your average Joe does.
Gere can still pull Grade A ass seven days a week.ReplyCancel
Richard Gere hasn't paid for sex a day in his life! No way. Wasn't there another blind that said he was taking a meditation break on his film when in reality he was getting a bj?ReplyCancel
Yep, I still would.ReplyCancel
as if any celeb, one who has money espesh, has to pay, let alone Gere, this is bulldoody.ReplyCancel

The River2Sea Gripp 55 is a diminutive crankbait that is deadly when fish are in the shallows. Whether targeting bass or panfish, the Gripp will create strikes with its subtle rolling action at or near the surface. River2Sea's Tungsten Weight Transfer System gives the angler plenty of casting control, and rattle on the retrieve.

Comments: Great action on this bait but I will agree with one of the earlier posts: paint chips way to easy.
From: Ron: GA
Comments: This bait is awesome. It has replaced my baby -1's. It has a great action and rattle. One of my go 2 baits for ponds. This bait has cleaned up in Canada for me and works very well in the Potomac River. Can't beat the price as well.
From: Dennis: MD
Comments: Great bait, cast really good for its size and cant beat the price!
From: Ross: MA
Comments: This bait is a love and hate one for me. Here in the New Orleans area we fish shallow grass and this bait is great,I rip it through the grass and the bass bust it up. The problem I have with this bait is the paint comes off too easy. By the end of the day the bait is bare. By the way the red fish like it too.
From: Roy: Marrero, LA
Comments: I absolutely LOVE these baits! Caught my first bass of the season on the Gin Minnow, Lots of side to side swing action. Definitely a very good bait for ponds with weeds about 1ft under the surface.

I'm doing a photographic countdown to disney on the blog right now, if you're interested.
Wedding shoot went well yesterday the weather was perfect, now I'm getting ready to do a maternity shoot!
I'm doing a photographic countdown to disney on the blog right now, if you're interested.
Wedding shoot went well yesterday the weather was perfect, now I'm getting ready to do a maternity shoot!
I'm almost afraid to ask. What is a maternity shoot?
Glad that the weather was in your favor yesterday. I'm assuming the maternity shoot is indoors, so at least you won't have to worry about that one factor.
it was outdoors... a Maternity shoot is a baby belly shoot (normally done a week or two before due date, when mom's belly is really showing). I don't do nudes or nearly nudes. My mom today wasn't into naked/nude/no clothes belly shots, but we had a lot of fun. We did it outdoors, we're close to if not over 70* here, which is HOT here...
I learn something new every day. Never heard of this! It sounds like a great way to mark the pregnancy. I asked because from what I know of you, you wouldn't be likely to photograph someone in any unclothed way, but the name suggested that the actual childbirth process was being shot in some way. Thanks for clarifying. Glad it was fun for you and the mom.
I can just imagine!
Beautiful process, awesome...but I can't wrap my mind around having someone recording every moment of it. Yet I know human nature, and there are people who do this. There's an old quote, from Socrates maybe, that the unexamined life is not worth living. But like anything else, this philosophy can be carried to wretched excess.
On another multimedia note, I'll be looking at your blog when I finish with work. Vicarious thrills for me! I don't stand much of a chance of going to either Disney locale in the near future.
I've done some research on Disney the man lately, for something I'm writing, and he really is a central character in the development of American entertainment. There was all the innovation in animation, but there were also the nature documentaries, and even his TV stuff was pretty pathfinding. He took his position as a purveyor of family entertainment very seriously.

Yes Walt's embracing of all new technology - and pushing/plussing everything - is reason not only for advancement in American entertainment, but the sciences as well... NASA's even used some of the Disney technology over the years... other groups have caught up, but it took them over 50 years to do so, really.

Let me know which ones and I'll photoshop the better.
Also I don't think everything should be high res, high quality as manga is also about art and I tried to show a sense of what type of artwork one could expect from the manga that is being showcased in the banner e.g. Vampire Knight, Little Jumper, xxxHOLIC etc.
But on the other side I do understand that readers will be more inclined to read a manga that looks high quality rather than something that looks less well done, and if that is what MangaShare decided to do then I will try and help out. Just thought I'd throw my opinion out there as I feel its a valid point.

Thanks. Yes, the Poly culture can be very fun and colorful. Hence the bright flowered-colored muumuu's we'd have to endure and wear to church and school, which, looking back in photos, now... OMG! Who made me wear that?! (LoL!!).
Shaka's back to ya-

Great to be friends, and appreciate the beautiful smile. Thanks!
Wow, love the new pictures! There are so many beautiful places there. What's the weather like? It the terrain looks similar to California (except better - no over-populated areas), so was wondering if the weather was also similar.
Great pictures! The one with the boy is my favorite among all of the others. God bless you.
Hi David- great pictures! They make me feel like I'm missing out - I hope to be able to visit one day when it's safe. Stay safe and hope you have a great week! Maile

Skip to comments.Baby Boomers Are Killing Themselves At An Alarming Rate, Raising Question: Why?
Posted on 06/04/2013 6:09:19 AM PDT by Biggirl
Last spring, Frank Turkaly tried to kill himself. A retiree in a Pittsburgh suburb living on disability checks, he was estranged from friends and family, mired in credit card debt and taking medication for depression, cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
A lot of baby boomers took their retirement up front.
Because hope and change wasn't as advertised?
I think there are many of us on the verge as well...this hope and changey thing was a bait and switch ad for sure.
That's exactly what happened. They also choose to disconnect from their children by putting them in day care, because their own careers was the most important thing in the world. Consequently, their children learned to not need their parents, so they rarely contact them.
With all those problems I'd kill myself!
My big problem is the bleak future I see for my kids and grandkids, but I'll not be killing myself over it.
Because with puppet master Valerie Jarrett running the country through Barack The Puppet there is little Hope for positive Change.
Baby Boomers lived through a time that is now a lost dream in the facist, politically corect, dictatorship of today.
The 'Land of the Free' has been lost.
It is now the 'Land of the Free Stuff', but only for those who toe the democrat part line.
For the most part Americans have not accepted the fact that we are running on borrowed fumes. We have squandered most of the advantages we had as a country as the boomers squandered their savings. Then we have trouble facing the fact that nobody gives a damn. No accomplishments past, present or future means they (we) get no respect. I say this as the last boomer (born 1963). There will be nothing left when I get old except for what I am able to create myself.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Older white males are being rendered irrelevant.
FR helps me fight the gloom.
More gobbledygook from those who taught boomers to believe the gobbledygook. In before the blame-the-boomers-crowd.
From personal and professional experience:
1. File for Chapter 7 BK.
2. Become a Fuhrmaniac ("Eat to Live", by Joel Fuhrman).
The first recommendation is based on recent work experience dealing with troubled borrowers. Considering his situation, he's never going to get credit again (his credit score is likely in the low 500s at best), so get that credit albatross off his neck. It will stop those calls from debt collectors.
I've been following Fuhrman's plan 85-90%, and I'm off metformin, looking forward to getting off Crestor (it's a goal). Another 15 lbs, and I'll be at my weight when I graduated from Jump School 37 years ago.
I'm not passing judgment on moral hazard. I've seen enough moral hazard demonstrated by Wall Street to give this guy a break.
Our government is a very oppressive invasive system. Thy have stolen the futures of both the old and young. There is $13.4T that has been stolen form Social Security dating back to JFK. The federal retirement system is unfunded so add this liability to the debt. The whole debt of our den of thieves government is somewhere between $100T and $200T. The government has crashed real estate values. The Fed has inflated the dollar to somewhere around 10% of its value.
Where is the good news?
Life without God is an empty existence of chasing smoke and ash. Everything the world tells you is a lie.
Pray for America to Wake Up
There rose up a generation that knew not the LORD.
Baby Boomers are the worst generation this country has ever seen. Think about every bad thing in this country, and it was promoted, normalized, and propagated by the Baby Boomers. Not all of them of course. Just a sizable percentage.
And they'll find a way to take that too.
I'm a retired baby boomer, a widow, and was a hippie back in the day. But unlike Frank Turkaly I have no credit card or mortgage debt, do not take any prescription medications, and am not estranged from my family. Rather my grandchildren live within walking distance and are a part of my everyday life. I'm involved with their activities and have my own interests too. I wouldn't change a thing. Offing myself is not in the picture.
Unless you are employed by the government the higher salary you have earned from decades of hard work makes you a target for every cost cutter in the company. Your knowledge and experience is devalued and every special interest group with a quota demand wants you out. The politically correct rules require you to walk on eggshells, choose your words carefully and be sensitive to everyone around you but anyone can ridicule and attack you with impunity. You are typically ordered to clean up the messes made by young, politically correct careerists who are given authority without responsibility, screw things up and then move on to something else.
Wives and children in this era of self-absorbtion are typically unappreciative of all that you have done for them. You are expected to be a bottomless pit of money and fix things when there is a problem. Other than that none of them care about you.
Social Security is insolvent and may or may not be around when you need it. Probably not.
All you have to look forward to is doing things for other people who will never do anything for you.
I'm thinking maybe 'cause this is the least-churched genration in American history.
Most of their parents are divorced, sex is cheap, and life itself is no longer sacred (numbing affect of legal infanticide).
Not only Boomers but we all face a bunch of carpola in this life. Greed both in Govt. and some in corporate have helped dent or wreck savings for many yet personal responsibility is the biggest issue in this matter. Suicide is not the answer and having a long term focus beyond this troubled life to the one eternal puts it all in perspective. Easy for me to say right? and dare I speak for all situations.
Sometime ago Forbes ran feature about why do we feel so bad when we have it so good. In one of her better articles Peggy Noonan got it right. One of her statements (paraphrasing) was that the Baby Boomers are the first generation in the history of mankind that believed it could create a Utopian society (I recall that she pointed out that other generations understood that his was reserved for the afterlife). Second, she pointed out that the boomers were realizing that they are increasingly responsible for wrongs of society.
You can never draw too much from studies like this because circumstances change so much from period to period and also you don't know how good information from the past was. First, people died earlier in the past so there were less old people to be available to kill themselves. Second, people may have killed themselves all the time in the past but it was socially taboo and families probably covered it up, perhaps even with the help of police and coroners.
If there is a reason, though, my guess would be that each generation has become more self-centered, starting with the Boomers. And if life doesn't work out for self-centered people, they are more likely to kill themselves rather than deal with adversity.
As I see it, it's my duty to help them survive, and hopefully prosper, these next 15-20 years. I'm not going without a fight.
There's a book called Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. You should read it. It puts things in perspective. One thing I took away from the book is that suffering is a necessary part of being fulfilled. A result of never having to suffer while maintaining your decency is nihilism. Nihilism is the disease of the West and specifically the Baby Boomers.
Narcissists, in other words.
If you are a Christian, the perfect opportunity to walk with and as Christ did.
That really sucks.
To hell with baby boomers... At least the good majority of them. Baby boomers are the worst generation. Selfish, freeloading, and all about themselves. Enjoy your cushy pensions and social security. Because SS will be gone for me and my family, pensions don't even exist anymore.
They sacrificed my future and my children's future. This political and family structure meltdown was on there watch!
We know that what men want to do is work thats a very strong ethic for them, . . . The idea that so many of us in this country have been brought up with that you work hard, you get your house, you get your American dream, everything is rosy it hasnt worked out. A lot of these boomers arent going to earn as much money as their parents did. They arent going to be as secure as their parents were. And thats quite troubling for the boomers.
They voted for liberalism and are now getting what they voted for. The boomer generation largely turned away from God and country and they are finding that without God and country there's not a whole lot left. It's hard for me to feel pity for a group that did this to themselves.
You should write a book....I'd buy it.
There's Always Tomorrow is a remake of a 1934 film of the same name. Fred MacMurray is a toy company executive whose wife (Joan Bennett) and kids (Gigi Perreau, William Reynolds and Judy Nugent) take him for granted. Barbara Stanwyck is Fred's former girlfriend, whose own business activities result in a surprise reunion. MacMurray falls back in love with Stanwyck and prepares to leave his family. MacMurray's children go to Stanwyck and politely ask her to back off. She does so, and MacMurray's wife Bennett, who's been out of town during all this, is none the wiser. In the original There's Always Tomorrow, the male and female leads (Frank Morgan and Binnie Barnes) were farther apart age-wise, making their brief encounter all the more poignant.
Though not all baby boomers are as you described them.
There was a lot of Hank Rearden in my stepfather. I just didn't know it until I read the book. My admiration for him, always positive, grows more with each day. He set a great example for me, in the way he lived his life.
"Suicide is NEVER the answer."
Yes it is.
There really are some people that need a damn good killin'.
Well we cant all be happy, ripe old Senators where they finally exit their cushy abodes with a smile on their face and wheeled away in the stiff horizontal position. The taxpayers get suicided instead for the privilege of funding the barons and nobles in the DC Castle of The Ivory.
The "Boomer" was a twit. They talk about their education and productivity when most of them were receiving wealth and opportunities from parents wealthy enough to give such things to them. I saw a sample large enough to make the generalization. They largely spent their wealth on recreation, became pseudo liberals and as stated became all around superficial, arrogant twits! I can see an increased suicide rate among the "Boomer" population. In general, repeat in general they did not amount to much as people.
Floride? GMO insanity? Subliminal messages on television? Mind control?
Speaking as a boomer, two of our few redeeming qualities are: we elected Reagan, and we ended the Cold War.
Perhaps there are other positive attributes that can be added.
Start by beleving in God again.
Because without hope or a vision the people perish.
As bad as things look for the boomers think how bleak it looks for their children who face a longer uncertain but messed up future.
I just keep thinking that no trial not common to all men will fall upon us. Nothing that will be is any worse than what has already been one time or another.
I still can not resolve the circle of lies and intentional and unnecessary destruction. I feel like the Hal 9000 computer stuck in an illogical loop that can't be resolved.
The alinsky rules to overwhelm the system are working out just fine.
The real "twits" are their kids.
You have 40 million Americans out of work who should be supporting their families with income. Another group perhaps as large is now under-employed making far less than they used to. They are qualified to do more. Their jobs have been moved off shore.
These people suffer depression. They suffer feelings of inadequacy, futility, abject failure...
I'm sure some study will be launched to find out the real causes of this increase in suicide. Heaven forbid we look at the answer right in front of our noses.
Our society has basically written men off. Women don't need them. Society doesn't need them.
It's easier to get a divorce today than it is to apply for a credit card. The stigma of a man leaving his wife remains. The stigma of a poor wife having to make a 'tough decision' because she's unhappy is heralded, championed, considered to be evidence of real character.
And so it goes folks...
America..., what a country.
Plus lack of good values such as faith in God, right and wrong, etc.
But I am right you know!

NOT a serious walking shoe
"First, it ran big, so I ended up exchanging it for a 6.5. I bought these for a tour trip when I'd be doing a lot of walking. These are NOT designed for that. Not enough support at all. My feet were killing me."

Very comfortable and versatile
"I had surgery on my foot in December and it still tends to swell a little. I was looking for something "dressy casual" to wear to work, with a lot of stretch. These are cute, lightweight and comfortable. The color goes well with everything. Also bought a pair in Navy blue and like them even more. I do sit at a desk all day so I don't know how they would hold up under more rugged conditions. Very pleased with these shoes for what I needed."

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Chambers of commerce representing Beaumont, Corpus Christi, Galveston, La Marque, Port Aransas, Port Arthur, Portland and Texas City came together in Corpus Christi on Friday, July 25, to address sustainable funding for Texas Windstorm Insurance Association. Local city and county governments joined the group led by Foster Edwards, CEO/President of the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce and hosted by the city of Corpus Christi.
State Rep. Larry Taylor (R-Friendswood) made national news late last month when he released a report stating that since Hurricane Ike struck the Texas Gulf Coast more than four years ago, the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) has paid out more than $1.2 billion dollars on individually litigated claims related to the disaster.
When Hurricane Ike devastated a large section of the upper Texas Gulf Coast, it exposed not only the vulnerability of man-made structures to nature's fury but the inadequacy of the measures put in place to deal with the resulting financial ruin.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

The Emmys have kind of popped up at us, but here's the strange part: What's most captivated us is not the nominees, but who got overlooked. Some of our choices may have been nominated in past years, but it was their performances, alone or as an ensemble, this season that should've garnered more attention. Jeremy Piven knows what we're talking about, right?

Alun Cochrane: Things That Have Happened To Me In Life, Or In Cafes
Show type: Tour
This show will include jokes, thoughts and musings on everything from the mundane to the macabre and all told by one of the most celebrated storytelling comedians working in the UK today
Original Review:
Alun Cochrane is a man of simple pleasures. A semi-archaic word, a tiny social awkwardness or even the right item of knitwear is enough to cheer him up for the whole day – and his hope is that just by sharing these modest delights, some of that unexpected glee will rub off onto the audience.
He refers to himself as a 'laid-back storyteller', though the incidents he relays are not exactly Greek epics. Something as mundane as recalling a man eating a peach and drinking Red Bull on a train is enough to set him off for a good five minutes.
It's a mark of his understated charisma that he can hold an audience with such seemingly inconsequential trivia. The observation is made in skilful detail, and his utterly disproportionate reaction to these minor occurrences – whether positive or negative – is his comedy fuel.
He doesn't rant and rave, nor is he obviously driving from one punchline to the next, instead coming across as merely a friendly bloke amiably shooting the breeze about things he's seen. So you can never accuse the show's wordy title of being misleading.
He slyly boasts – as much as his unassuming demeanour allows – about his lack of formal technique, with pathetic attempts at catchphrases or proper gags, and he confesses to no interest in what's going on in the world outside the Cochrane bubble.. When he gets to use words like 'julienne', 'gazpacho' or 'toothpickey' in his routine, that's a source of much more pride than any contrived punchline could possibly be – although he does feign surprise when he cracks one of the small handful of proper 'joke jokes' in the show.
It's a tall order to be able to get by on personality alone – as so many dire open spots who feel jokes are beneath (or more likely beyond) them can attest. But Cochrane has an angle concealed behind that jovial, easy-going demeanour; with most of the laughs at the expense of his own reactions, curiosity or bafflement, rather than the actual 'things that have happened' themselves. Although his measured delivery is mature, his mind is not. That's why the silly words amuse him, and that's why he finds such joy in the subtle exaggerations that give some of his routines a hint of surrealism.
It's not quite enough for the entire two-hour duration, and the show ebbs and flows with some routines seeming to please him more than it does us. It's endearing that he doesn't seem to know which will sink or swim, but even if something doesn't catch the imagination, you're never too far away from something good. And while the show's relaxed premise may seem like an excuse for lot of flim-flam, there are some sterling sections in here, with ideas like the 'twat tax' sure to endure.
As a show it is, however, missing something. Not a robust structure, exactly, as that would ruin the unprepossessing conversational nature of Cochrane's act, but maybe just an occasional theme and – most importantly – an ending. As it is, he just seems to dry up on stories, so the show peters out anticlimactically, rather than concluding with a memorable set piece.
But such quibbles aside, there's more than enough here for a solid two hours' entertainment, in the enjoyable company of a skilled raconteur.

I agree completely with Steve's review of Alun's recent show. I saw him a couple of weeks ago. I instantly fell for Alun's delivery...and his trousers and trainers combo. I loved the pendulum swing from the absurd to the everyday things that he comments upon and his catastrophic overreactions. But when he said goodnight I felt deflated. I knew I'd had a nice time. I knew that a few of his stories were going to stay with me (the peach and the Red Bull was genius) but I didn't really feel like I'd seen a show, and I'm sure that's because there was no 'ending'. You're never going to get an huge climactic close from Cochrane I know, and that wouldn't be suit him either. But some tying together of the stories, some story that calls back the bossy pasta, the man on the train, the Sheffield ninjas...something to make you feel that you've been a journey with him in some way. Instead I felt like I'd seen a show that could have easily been sliced into a few 20 minute sets for any comedy club - and that's okay, that's fine, but you just know, you can just feel that Alun Cochrane is better than that.
Nick Irvine - 18/02/2008
I think he delivered a solid set yet never really encapsulated the audience. A good act to see but perhaps better in smaller doses.

I'm sick of sweet stuff.
Recover yet? Okay, good. I've been stuck inside for days on end in this seasonal-yet-unseasonal rainstorm, puttering around the kitchen with my mom as we completed our holiday baking. There was a lot of baking going on. This means there was a lot of batter and dough tasting, as well as double checking to make sure the final product was satisfactory. Basically, I ate way too much sugar, which ended in me being too queasy to eat enough real food this past weekend. Bad idea, I tell you.
So I won't be posting anything sweet until 2011 falls upon us. I may not even eat anything sweet until then either. Unless it involves that jar of Nutella that miraculously appeared on our dining room table the other day, prompting dreams of Nutella cookie sandwiches, Nutella waffles, and Nutella on my fingers. I have a weak spot, okay?
Because no one wants to see a post laden with photographs of my Nutella-covered fingers as I lick them clean, I'm sharing a new creation borne of my need to eat cheese and fruit. And endive. I was really craving endive. These Bacon, Blue Cheese & Pomegranate Endive Spears make the perfect savory appetizer for your Christmas, Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa or New Year's celebration. In fact, I'd liken them to a party in your mouth. The blue cheese brings the tang; the Granny Smith apple and pomegranate arils cover tart and sweet; bacon has that salty deliciousness going on; the toasted walnuts bring a hint of nuttiness; and the endive completes the taste-train with its mild bitterness. There's just so much going on, including an array of textures to please the palate. Dare I say that they are...delicious?
I know, I'm weak on the explanation front today. I'm sorry. Just think how awesome it would be to take one of those apple-walnut-blue cheese salads served this time of year, distill it down into one flavor-packed bite, add in some bacon, and then sprinkle it with a little pomegranate. Can you resist that? I couldn't. I didn't. And I'm oh so glad.
Note: Make the cheese mixture and construct one spear, with pomegranate and walnuts. Eat it. Return to cheese mixture and adjust ingredients if necessary.
Chop bacon into bite size pieces, apples into 1/4" cubes, and break up any large chunks of cheese. Sprinkle apple with lemon juice to prevent browning. Mix in bowl with olive oil. Place about a tablespoon of the mixture on each endive leaf, sprinkle with crushed walnuts & pomegranate arils. Serve cold.

What can I do to save gas?
Walk, bike, take a bus, or carpool when possible. Use your car only when necessary. Public transportation authorities often have carpooling information as well as transit services. If you own more than one vehicle, drive the one that gets the best gas mileage whenever possible.
Combine errands into one trip. Consolidate trips to destinations that are near one another. Once you arrive, park and walk between destinations. Save errands for one afternoon and plan your trip so you don't retrace your route. You not only save gas this way, but reduce wear-and-tear on your car.
Drive your car wisely and maintain it properly. The way you drive and take care of your car can make a big difference in your gas mileage.
What can I do to get better gas mileage when I drive?
You can greatly improve your mileage by having your car serviced regularly and by driving wisely. Any of these eight points can help improve your mileage:
Go easy on the brakes and gas pedal. Avoid "jackrabbit" starts by accelerating gradually whenever possible. Also, anticipate stops to avoid sudden braking.
Avoid long idles. Turn off the engine if you anticipate a lengthy wait. Instead of idling at a drive-up window, park the car and go in. Idling burns more gas than restarting the engine. Limit car warmups in winter.
Avoid carrying unneeded items in the trunk. Extra weight decreases gas mileage. Also, reduce drag by placing items inside the car or trunk rather than on roof racks.
Avoid high speeds. You can improve your gas mileage about 15 percent by driving at 55 mph rather than 65 mph.
Use your air conditioning only when necessary. Roll down the windows or open the air vents to keep your car comfortable on not-so-hot days.
Use overdrive. If your car is equipped with overdrive gearing (on 5-speed manual transmissions and 4-speed automatic transmissions), be sure to make use of the overdrive gear as soon as your speed is high enough. If you have a manual transmission, the lower the shift speed, the better the fuel economy. Your owner's manual will give you further information.
Keep tires properly inflated and aligned. Periodic wheel alignments and keeping tires inflated to the maximum recommended pressure can improve your gas mileage.
Get regular engine tuneups and car maintenance checks. Tuneups improve performance as well as gas mileage. Check your owner's manual for recommended maintenance schedules. By following the manufacturer's recommendations, you should avoid fuel economy problems due to worn spark plugs, dragging brakes, low transmission fluid, or the transmission not going into high gear.
What should I consider when buying a new car?
Understand your needs and buy accordingly. Get only the options you really need. Optional equipment that adds weight to your car can decrease your gas mileage (especially heavy options such as four-wheel drive). Automatic transmissions generally degrade fuel economy. Larger engines and higher horsepower typically result in lower gas mileage. If you need the additional power and torque, be aware your gas mileage will suffer during all types of driving.
Check the gas mileage ratings of similar vehicles. Buy a fuel efficient model in the size category that meets your needs. The Federal Gas Mileage Guide, issued annually and free of charge at all auto dealerships, compares gas mileage of similar models.

Franklin boys volleyball
The Sabers advanced to a WIAA sectional semifinal rematch with Muskego when they overpowered Racine St. Catherine's, 25-20, 25-17, 25-21, in a regional final on Friday.
"Friday's game was not the cleanest of games for us having a combined 17 errors in hitting and serving, but we still played good enough to pull out the win," said coach Chris Dibb.
Statistical leaders for the Sabers included Sam Rivedal with eight kills, Trevor Przybyla five blocks, Bryce Pierzchalski three aces, Zach Bertram 19 assists and Austin Bohn 10 digs.
Franklin lost a tough sectional semifinal to the eventual state meet qualifiers from Muskego last year. But the Sabers graduated 14 players off that team, so the Tuesday sectional semifinal was something largely new for this squad, Dibb said.
Muskego is the top seed in the sectional. If Franklin won, it advanced to a sectional final at 7 p.m. Thursday at Racine Horlick against the winner of Horlick and New Berlin with the winner advancing to the WIAA state tournament, Nov. 9 and 10.

In the mind of Sabers' girls coach Regina Schindel, it was a victory unto itself for the team to be part of the 100th anniversary of the WIAA state meet on Saturday in Wisconsin Rapids.
And for the game and determined injury-riddled squad to take 15th under those circumstances was an absolute triumph in her eyes.
"I really do love having such a competitive state meet though, because it definitely means something to finish 15th," she said. "Had our girls all ran five-second personal bests our team would have been 14th, so 15th is an honor.
"We beat a school that beat us at Griak, so that was nice, and making it (to state) after losing our No. 1 (two-time individual champion Allie Fons) to injury, our two to mono, our No. 7 to low iron, having a newbie who was sixth for us at the beginning of the season out with injury, in spite of all of it, these seven girls really did deserve to be at the state meet."
The finish was an improvement on the 19th-place showing of a year ago, as the Sabers scored 393 points.
Freshman Jensen Ritzow led the way, taking ninth in the team standings (and 17th overall) in the 190-runner field. She covered the 4,000-meter Ridges Golf Course layout in 14:53.89, which is the second-fastest time ever for a Franklin runner, only trailing Fons.
Junior team captain Katherine Carlino was next, earning the only personal best of the day for Franklin with a 29th-place effort (55th) of 15:36.17. Other scoring runners for the Sabers included Melanie Hansen with a 109th-place effort in the team standings (16:24.94), Katelyn Salzburger in 121st (16:42.83) and Monica Sweet in 125th (16:45.16).
Also running were Brenda Sweet in 126th (16:52.05) and Madeline Gierach in 132nd (17:04.46). Salzburger was the only senior competitor.
"Looking ahead to next year, we will be healthy," she said. "I will make sure of it when track ends. This summer will be the biggest group of girls ever running daily with Katie Carlino, Monica Sweet and Allie Fons leading them and (I think) our team will be top 10 (in state cross country in 2013).
"We have made it there two years in a row and the focus must change to being in the top half. We have the talent for it, no question."
Greendale girls volleyball
The Panthers played another tight five-set match against rival Greenfield on Oct. 25 in a WIAA Division 1 sectional semifinal, but this time, they were the ones coming up short.
Greendale fell, 25-21, 12-25, 26-24, 22-25, 15-4, to see its season end. The Hustlin' Hawks went on to the title match, which they lost to Muskego on Saturday.
The match was similar to the five-setter the teams played in the semifinals of the Woodland Conference Tournament, except that the winning team was reversed.
"The match was certainly thrilling, as we match up pretty well against each other," head coach Katie Matel said. "We had some very strong moments but just fell short in the end."
Stephanie Kramer tallied 17 kills, Brittany Seidcheck and Taylor DeLong both two blocks, Shawn Hotson three aces and Lauren Litzau 34 assists.
Greendale enjoyed a solid season in its first year under Matel, taking second in its division of the conference and winning the Brookfield East Tournament.

Sophomore Katrina Voge won diving to lead the Sabers to a fourth-place showing in the Southeast Conference meet on Saturday.
Voge turned in an 11-dive score of 370.45 points to edge a Racine Case competitor by 1.25 points, while teammate and 2011 state meet qualifier Melanie Pearson was fourth (333.9).
Those efforts led the Sabers to a 322-point total in the eight-school field as Kenosha Tremper dominated the meet with 501.5.
"We had very good efforts across the board," Franklin coach Ross Lennertz said. "The girls tapering for (WIAA) sectionals swam well and had some good time drops. They had very good first halves for their races and looked a little tired on their back halves, which is what I expected to see since they are not fully tapered yet.
"The girls fully tapered for sectionals swam very good as well. We had our 200 free relay disqualified for an early start, which dropped us down a bit, but still a good meet overall."
The Sabers now head to Kenosha Tremper for WIAA sectional competition this weekend. Diving is at 5:30 p.m. Friday at Tremper and swimming is at 2 p.m. Saturday at Kenosha's LakeView RecPlex.
Other good efforts at conference for the Sabers included the following: 200 medley relay - Bethany Lefeber, Elizabeth Herrick, Jourdie Lepkowski, and Rowan Leiderbach, third (2:00.98). 200 individual medley - Herrick, fourth (2:25.22). 50 free - Leiderbach, fourth (26.57). 100 butterfly - Lepkowski, second (1:05.58); Lefeber, eighth (1:08.1). 100 free - Leiderbach, third (59.14). 500 free - Lepkowski, second (5:45.96); Lefeber, sixth (5:58.92). 100 backstroke - Anne Gundrum, eighth (1:13.56). 100 breaststroke - Herrick, third (1:16.45); Simmons, seventh (1:20.5). 400 free relay - Gundrum, Lefeber, Lepkowski and Leiderbach, fourth (4:02.87).
Oak Creek girls swim
The Knights turned in several personal bests in earning a seventh in the Southeast Conference meet on Saturday.
Oak Creek scored 179 points for its spot as Kenosha Tremper won with 501.5.
Earning those personal bests were Kaitlin McIntosh (11th, 2:16.72) and Katherine Chitko (17th, 2;22.41) in the 200 free; Sabrina Carli in the 100 butterfly (18th, 1:22.05); Ashley Hock in the 100 free (13th, 1:04.35) and 100 backstroke (12th, 1:13.95); Reba Wroblewski in the 100 breaststroke (17th, 1:27.7); Dee Brylow in the 100 free (14th, 1:05.08); and Lauren Miller (21st, 6:42.52) and Crystal Knuth (25th, 7:28.75) in the 500 free.
The 200 medley relay team of Amy Seymour, Lindsey Melotik, Amanda Marciniak, and Angela Fleischman was eighth (2:11.11); while the 200 freestyle relay was fifth in 1:59.97 (Seymour, Ashley Heiges, Miller, and McIntosh) and the 400 free relay was sixth in 4:12.17 (McIntosh, Melotik, Marciniak, and Fleischman).
In diving, Jasmine Chen-Smith was 15th (198.1 points) and Christina Gibbons was 16th (197.7).
Oak Creek takes part in WIAA sectional competition this weekend in Kenosha.
Greendale girls swimming
Carolyn Jungers placed second in both the 200 individual medley with 2 minutes, 12.62 seconds and the 100 breaststroke (1:09.08) at the Woodland Conference meet on Saturday at Greenfield High School.
The 200 medley team of Caroline Rowe, Carolyn Jungers, Kate Jungers and Abby Vey took fifth (2:02.14) and the 400 freestyle unit of Carolyn Jungers, Maggie Bowen, Lizzy Pekar and Rowe came in eighth (4:06.73) for the Panthers, who tallied 103 points for ninth place.

Franklin boys cross country
Though the 407-point, 19th-place effort was not the finish the Sabers had hoped for, coach Tyler Fyock was still pleased his team had the opportunity to take part in the WIAA state meet last weekend in Wisconsin Rapids.
"This season has been a great experience for the boys," he said. "It's been a long time since this team has experienced the success they have had this year and it was great to conclude the season at the Ridges."
Senior Nikolai Grabowski was 48th in the team standings in his second state meet with 16:53.37 on the 5,000-meter Ridges Golf Course layout, while fellow senior Evan Watters was 60th (17:04.82). Other scoring runners were sophomore Zach Lee in 65th (17:09.89), sophomore Sam Harmeyer in 114th (17:42.53) and freshman Max Fassbender in 120th (17:46.61).
Also running were junior Ben Alt in 134th (18:29.57) and freshman Andy Stengel in 140th (19:40.16).
"I was happy for the seniors Evan and Nikolai that they could end their careers where they belong and it was a great learning experience for the younger guys. I thought everyone gave it their all out there, and as a coach that's all you ever want out of them.
"A couple of the guys got beat up a little bit out there. Max raced the last two miles without shoes and Sammy was pushed into a couple trees, so it was a bit of an adventure out there, but hopefully in the future this will help them out."
Franklin had preceded state with Southeast Conference and WIAA sectional championships.
Greendale boys volleyball
The Panthers lost to Whitefish Bay/Dominican, 25-13, 25-21, 25-21, in a WIAA regional match on Friday night as their season ended.

GF/WHI boys volleyball
The Raptors lost to Pius XI, 25-12, 25-22, 25-17, in WIAA regional play on Friday to see their season end.
They had earlier beaten Kenosha Indian Trail, 25-23, 21-25, 25-14, 25-14, in a non-conference match on Oct. 22 behind 21 kills and seven aces from Skylar Czaplewski, 42 assists and six aces by Kurt Storvik, 14 digs by Kyle Hanneken and four blocks by Calvin Beebe.
Seniors are Hanneken, Beebe and Parambir Singh.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
I am a professional chef and a chocolatier, but I am definitely not a food snob. I like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on toasted Wonder Bread and a quick snack of a Hostess Cupcake, Ding Dong or Twinkie. But alas, at the current time these iconic, all-American foods have all gone missing on supermarket shelves.
Hostess Bakeries, being struck by their workers' union, has gone out of business, suspended operations in 33 bakeries, ceased deliveries and is liquidating its remaining assets, putting 18,500 employees out of work. Aside from the brands listed above, you may never see another Dolly Madison, Drake's, Home Pride or Butternut product again.
Although there's a chance that some of these products may reemerge as parts of other companies, as for now Hostess brand products may now join a long list of other foods and drinks that have gone the way of the dodo bird. The only thing left is to sell remaining assets to the highest bidders.
If you feel you can't live with out another swirly-topped, Hostess Chocolate Cupcake here's a recipe that will definitely fill the bill.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Bake Time: 15-18 minutes
Cool time: 15-20 minutes
Ready In: 1 hour
Yield: 36 cupcakes
Ingredients for the Cupcakes:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup Choclatique Rouge Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup canola oil
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup applesauce
1 cup whole milk
1 cup water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Ingredients for the Filling:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
pinch salt
1 1/4 cups Marshmallow Fluff
Ingredients for the Frosting:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups Choclatique Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions for the Cupcakes:
- Preheat an oven to 375º F.
- Line a medium muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a large bowl combine oil and sugar. Mix well. Stir in the apple sauce and vanilla extract.
- Add half of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Slowly pour in the water, mixing on low speed, then beat in the remaining flour mixture. Slowly add the milk and beat on low until thoroughly mixed.
- Fill each cupcake liner with 2 tablespoons of batter and bake for 15-18 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely before filling or frosting.
Directions for the filling:
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar together.
- Stir in the vanilla and pinch of salt.
- Mix in the marshmallow fluff and whisk until light and fluffy.
- Cover and chill until slightly thickened.
Directions for the frosting:
- In microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, chips and corn syrup until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the vanilla and cover and chill until slightly thickened.
Putting it all together:
- Fill a disposable pastry bag, fitted with a cupcake filling tip, with the chilled filling. Insert the tip into the center of the cupcake and squeeze to fill.
- Turn the cupcakes upside down and dip them in the chocolate frosting to coat the tops completely.
- Chill for 15 to 20 minutes before decorating with the swirly design.
- Use the remaining white marshmallow filling to pipe it on top of the cupcakes in the signature swirled design.
- Chill for 30 to 45 minutes.

During the grand entry at the San Rafael Pro Rodeo on July 25 and 26, Deputy Jeremiah Johnson was honored.
The rodeo announcer, Randy Schmutz read the tribute, "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight as we celebrate this great rodeo performance, we celebrate it with a bit of sadness. Emery County residents know that you lost one of your heroes when Emery County Sheriff's Deputy Jeremiah Johnson was tragically taken from us in a traffic accident while on duty. Jeremiah served Emery County citizens and the San Rafael Pro Rodeo faithfully for six and a half years.
"Tonight Sgt. Tom Harrison of the Emery County Sheriff's Office leads an empty saddle over the arena as we pay tribute to a fallen hero.
"Jeremiah, we know you are watching over us tonight and we miss you."
At the Saturday rodeo, Jeremiah's father, Randy Johnson sang the National Anthem.
During the rodeo the Johnson children, Trevor, Noah and Sydney were presented with silver spurs, autographed by the cowboys and cowgirls participating in the rodeo.
Deputy Johnson is one of many officers from the Emery County Sheriff's Office that help with the rodeo each year.
A song was played and then Sgt. Harrison led the riderless horse from the arena.

Skip to comments.Woolwich attack: Watch shocking video of terrorists charging at police car to try to kill WPC
Posted on 05/23/2013 4:02:24 PM PDT by the scotsman
'This is the moment two terrorists who butchered soldier Lee Rigby also tried to kill a hero woman cop who was first on the scene of the carnage.
Shocking footage obtained by the Daily Mirror shows how the calculating pair lured officers to the scene by dragging the body into the middle of the road and brazenly waiting for armed police to arrive.
When the first police car arrived the pair split up in a pre-planned manoeuvre with knife-wielding Michael Adebolajo charging them head-on, while his accomplice ran up alongside, aiming his revolver at them.
The film of the 10 seconds of terror show how Adebolajo got within TWO FEET of the terrified female cop who was driving the armed response vehicle.
She was armed with just a Taser as she sat in the drivers seat of the BMW X5 and was only saved when a male colleague sitting in the back made a split-second decision to fire his machine-gun from point blank range through the window.
As he is sent sprawling to the ground by the force of the two shots and the two cops jump out to cover him they appear to fail to spot the other suspect aiming his hand gun at them.
Luckily a third SO19 marksman running round from the far side of the specialist Trojan unit spots him and he is brought to the ground as a further volley of six shots ring out in the suburban street in Woolwich, south east London.'
(Excerpt) Read more at mirror.co.uk ...
I wonder if Bruce Springsteen will write a song about this matter.
Female cop armed with a taser . . . good thinking . . . that'll stop a bullet . . . I just can't imagine the stupidity surrounding this terrorist attack . . .
"...made a split-second decision to fire his machine-gun from point blank range through the window"
Maybe Danny Glover will hold a candlelight vigil.
> machine-gun?? <
Well, yes, those black scary things that fire, well, huge clips!
The sound tells the story, I think.
As they say, never bring a knife to a gun fight.
Two thumbs up.
Every American knows that most British police are not armed, at least I thought every American knew.
As the driver of an armed unit, she will be armed with a taser, as the rest of the unit in her vehicle are armed to the teeth. I will try and find out exactly what arms she carries.
And 'terrified'. Tabloid nonsense, this woman is a highly trained officer, member of one of the UK's premier police units.
Its a low-rent tabloid.
She appeared to also have a gun, as far as terrified, training as a city cop doesn't exactly turn you into commando material, she very well may have been terrified.
Why are we hearing that the two demons were only shot in the legs and will survive?
They should have been turned into Swiss cheese.
The guy who fired the machine gun is the hero, no?
My eyes and ears are getting old along with the rest of me, but the video seems to show a semi automatic handgun. The audio supports my assumption. I've seen and heard machine guns and that wasn't it.
...hero woman cop who was first on the scene of the carnage... knife-wielding Michael Adebolajo... got within TWO FEET of the terrified female cop who... was armed with just a Taser... was only saved when a male colleague sitting in the back made a split-second decision to fire his machine-gun from point blank range through the window... the two cops... appear to fail to spot the other suspect aiming his hand gun at them. Luckily a third SO19 marksman running round from the far side of the specialist Trojan unit spots him...
If O'bama had a son....
These police are very highly trained. Many cross train with the British military.
If you aren't terrified by a blood-spattered knife-wielding muslim lunatic whose just killed someone rushing at you you aren't right in the head.
You know what the overly-emotive Daily Mirror language meant.
The prose was nonsense.
Whoopee, that woman is no commando, I don't know why you want to claim that she is something she isn't, she is a cop and she had a taser and a pistol and didn't have her pistol out when she ran into trouble, but the guy in the back seat saved her.
It happens in police work, you don't need to make it something more than it is.
Sounds like a semi-auto to me. I can't see the weapon, but it doesn't sound like a 5.56. Maybe 9mm. Not a big enough bang for a 7.62
I'm glad that the female city cop was so "elite" that she can carry a taser and a pistol like any American cop or most housewives here, it must impress you very much, too bad she was almost taken out by the guy before being saved.
I guess "highly trained" is all relative.
Any American here is free to go and spend some time with CO19, and see how they match up, if they feel free to sneer at them.
Rolling up on a murder scene and she pulls her Taser. Her training leaves quite a bit to be desired.
Lots of experts on British police here tonight, I see.
"woman cop hero"? Hah?
What exactly made her a a hero?
OK, let's try to play nicely here. I bet these officers followed policy to the letter. Argue the policy all you want, but I don't think the officers are at fault.
I'm guessing the policy is to take people alive if possible. Maybe scotsman can find out.
The Islamists' idea of using the knife guy as a decoy worked pretty well. The bad guy with the gun blew it (luckily), he should have been emptying that gun much earlier in the festivities.
The only real mistake I see is letting the guy with the pistol go that long without being fired upon. But I don't know what was in the firing background, etc. Even video like this doesn't give you all you need to know about a situation.
The outcome was the best possible, so let's remember that. No one else injured, suspects captured alive. Something useful might be learned from these guys.
Sure it would have been satisfying to kill them on the spot, but not as potentially useful.
You good enough to qualify as a member of an elite police unit?. No, so dont sneer.
'The woman officer driving may have had her Tazer on her lap as she would not risk putting a live firearm on her lap wile she was driving.'
Is that a true statement?
There are always lots of experts on here. I know this because I am an expert on experts. :)
Sarcasm, old bean.
Live firearm?
Is driving around with pistols laying on their laps ever done, anywhere, at anytime? I've never done it.
Britain is so weird about guns.
Nor me.
I don't know about England, sir. But here in the Colonies we have invented a device for carrying a firearm on ones person. It's called a "holster" and they're terribly clever. It attaches to your belt and you put your sidearm inside of it.
They've been perfected so that one can drive a vehicle while wearing it. They are quite popular over here with police officer types whom I believe you refer to as "Bobbies". Perhaps if you sent a letter to Scotland Yard and inform them of this device they might find them useful somehow.
Believe it or not private citizens use them by the millions here across the Pond. They're quite handy when one requires quick access to a firearm in a dangerous situation. Say like rolling up on a crazed, blood covered jihadi who has just murdered someone.
Feel free to pass this information along. Perhaps you'll get an award or something.
Another thread mentions that some FBI did it in 1986, which surprised me, the civilians of law enforcement can be pretty stupid evidently.
Thanks, I need a laugh today.
You're quit welcome, sir. I tried very hard to mimick the wonderful British sense of sarcasm. I bid you a pleasant day.
That would be the Platt-Maddix incident.
You too.

Old Sarum is an ancient mound one and a half miles north of Salisbury. It was an Iron Age hillfort, later occupied by the Romans, the Saxons and the Normans. The Normans built a castle within the perimeter of the mound and a cathedral below it, but disputes between soldiers and priests, plus inadequate water supplies, led to the building of New Sarum (the present city of Salisbury) in 1226. The cathedral was dismantled and a new one built at Salisbury, and the old settlement began to fade away.
In Constable's time Old Sarum was still an impressive feature on the skyline to the north of Salisbury, but to Constable it was a desolate and deserted place. He described it as a 'once proud and populous city… traced but by vast embankments' that had become a barren waste, 'tracked only by sheepwalks', and that 'every vestige of human habitation, [had] long since passed away' (Beckett, Discourses, pp. 24–25). Constable depicted a solitary shepherd in the foreground, in front of an expansive open plain and the mound of Old Sarum beyond. He presented the scene under a dramatic and powerful sky, with light breaking through the 'dark, cold and grey' thunder clouds, suggesting 'the grander phenomena of Nature' (ibid.).
This is one of Constable's most significant watercolours, and the first work of the kind that he ever showed at a Royal Academy exhibition (in 1834 under the title 'The Mound of the City of Old Sarum, from the south'). It is ambitious in scope and reveals Constable as a master of the watercolour medium. He conceived it as an exhibition piece, uniting his direct personal vision of landscape with a broader, historical idea suggesting destruction and oblivion. Constable captioned the Lucas mezzotint of this subject: 'here we have no continuing city'.
