Anyone have any blueprints or measurements for these blades?

Teapots from The Plaza, Teaspoons from the Waldorf: Why Collectors Love Hotel Silver
By Terry Trucco
A neighbor who knows I write about hotels recently invited me to her apartment. "My mother collected hotel demitasse spoons," she said.
A Jazz Age actress and flapper, Mom liked to take tea at posh spots like the Ritz Carlton in Boston and New York's Savoy Plaza. That's not all she took. Nearly two dozen little spoons gleamed on my neighbor's dining room table, each embellished with the property's emblem and engraved with its name. The deeply grooved Aztec curliques crowning her spoon from the original Waldorf=Astoria on Fifth Avenue and 34th Street were particularly fetching.
They don't make hotel silver like they used to. Which is one reason an ardent band of enthusiasts collects it — and not just those who inherit it from a light-fingered parent with a fondness for tea.
The most desirable examples are in good condition and emblazoned with the property's initials or crest, preferably a blue chip hotel with extravagant tableware like the Waldorf-Astoria, The Fairmont or, the ultimate collector's prize, The Plaza.
It's all about the provenance, says Lynn Goldfinger, a San Francisco antiques dealer
whose website Paris Hotel Boutique specializes in hotel silver. A silver-plated coffee pot that's pretty but anonymous? Ebay sells them for less than $5. But a handsome 1930 silver-plated coffee pot emblazoned with the insignia of the Waldorf-Astoria? One sold recently for $500 on ebay after a bidding war broke out.
We're discussing tableware, and appearances matter. But the look of the most desirable hotel silver has little in common with what's sitting on the table in a contemporary boutique hotel. "The goopier, the fussier, the better," says Goldfinger. That means a rip-roaring demand for 19th- and early-to-mid 20th-century pieces from grand dame hotels in New York, San Francisco and Paris. Goldfinger doesn't bother stocking silver from English hotels. "Too plain," she says.
Since starting her business in 1995, Goldfinger has observed three categories of collectors. For one group the allure is the silver's good looks and innumerable varietions. "That's what appeals to me," says Goldfinger, who snapped up her first piece – a heavy silver serving dome — almost 20 years ago in a San Francisco antiques shop. "Hotel silver is very beautiful, and I was struck by the different patinas and crests."
For another group the hotel is the appeal, often because it has a personal meaning. A teapot from San Francisco's Palace Hotel makes a great gift for parents who spent a honeymoon there. Or perhaps you love seeing Cary Grant stride purposefully through The Plaza in Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest. "I know people who will only collect silver from the Fairmont," Goldfinger says. Sometimes they just leave the items in the box.
But not those who comprise the third group. These collectors use hotel silver when they entertain. Some even use it every day. "It's heavier then ordinary silver plate," Goldfinger points out. The users often have their pieces replated. This is anathema to antiques lovers who see history in every ding. But replating can be a necessity if food is ever to touch a hopelessly tarnished surface.
What's hot and what's not? Teapots, sugar bowls, creamers and flatware fly out the door. And table crumb catchers, matchbook holders and serving domes? Dust collectors.
Hotel silver made its debut sometime in the mid 19th century, when the first American hotels with aspirations of grandeur came on the scene. Monogrammed teapots, sugar bowls and table utensils were among the amenities well-heeled guests came to expect at hotel restaurants and banquet halls. "The Americans were emulating the great European hotels," says hotel historian Mark E. Young, director of the Hotel Industry Archives at the University of Houston, home to the Conrad N. Hilton College of Hotel and Restaurant Management.
You could say technology facilitated hotel silver's popularity. The early 19th-century
advent of silver plating, which fused a silver patina on base metals like brass and copper, made stylish silver tableware an affordable amenity for hotels.
A mid-century tariff on imported European silver proved a game changer for domestic silvermakers. By the turn of the century scores of American manufacturers catered to a flourishing hotel trade.
But were there too many? An article from an 1894 issue of The Hotel Monthly warns hoteliers that silver plated ware is the one commodity that can stump even "a practical hotel man with an acquired knowledge of qualities and values." Noting that it is impossible to tell the quality of silver plated goods by appearance alone, the article cautions buyers to pay more up front and go with "a reliable concern," such as Meriden Britannia, Gorham, Reed & Barton, Wallace and International Silver.
These top-flight makers employed sophisticated manufacturing techniques, like sectional plating. This process deposited additional coats of silver on areas that received excessive use, like the tip of the bowl, bottom of the bowl and upper handle of the spoon.
Hoteliers were admonished to look for silver that displayed "Beauty, Usefulness and Durability."
And look they did. For decades it was unthinkable that a quality hotel wouldn't have its own silver.
Consider Statler, the efficiency-minded business chain that set hotel industry standards in the early 20th century. Statler's bespoke silver was distinguished by a sleek Art Deco "S." More important, the simple pattern was easy to keep clean. "The view was let the Waldorf or the Pierre have more ornate spoons because they're going to charge more for banquet rooms, and they can hire the staff to polish the silver," Young says.
Statler's "S" spoons, like those at other hotels, served more than soup. They were advertisements for the property, emblems that spread word of the hotel's quality and good taste in an era before hotel ads appeared in magazines (or fans posted images on Pintrest). When Statler opened a new hotel, they gave away demitasse spoons as souvenirs.
Those cute little spoons, easily tucked into a handbag or pocket, were also ideal for pilfering. Demitasse spoons were widely collected in the first half of the 20th-century, and Young thinks people took hotel spoons simply as souvenirs. "Back in an era when we didn't travel nearly as much, people could say here's a demitasse spoon for the Congress Hotel in Chicago. See? I've been to Chicago."
As for the hotels, they didn't like shrink, but Young believes they saw the public relations value in having their items admired by potential customers and built loss from theft into their budgets.
Of course not all hotel silver that comes on the market today was poached. Hotels auctioned off collections when they remodeled or closed, parked worn out items with silversmiths, sold old objects to dealers and gave pieces to employees. Goldfinger says if you see a large example of hotel silver, chances are good it left the premises intentionally. "No one walked out with an ice bucket."

What an interesting thing to collect! It sounds so romantic, too.
Comment by Casey @ A Cruising Couple — June 18, 2014 @ 9:22 pm
I agree — I think hotel silver with its links to the a glamorous past can be very romantic. Thanks, Casey.

How beautiful! My mil has a LOT of silver from the 1950s & before (not hotel, alas) – she collects it!
Comment by wanderingeducators — June 18, 2014 @ 11:48 pm
Thanks so much. Great history of the silver, hotels and even international trade. But the antiques dealer should change her name. She should be Silverfinger, not Goldfinger.

Comment by Gran Canaria Local — June 21, 2014 @ 9:27 pm
Retro hotel bar equipment sells for a small fortune — shakers and the like. Fascinating that hotel silverware is doing the same. And…. amusing to think that when young people nowadays steal ashtrays or glassware, back in the 20s it was teaspoons. How funny.
I love it, too. Thanks, Gran Canaria.

The hotel silver guru you need to contact is the expert I quote in my story, Lynn Goldfinger at http://www.parishotelboutique.com/store/lobby.php#
She deals in hotel silver and should be able to help you. Good look on learning more about your hotel teaspoon, Sue.

The year of his death is uncertain, but we know that he must have been a very old man, and that he was buried at downpatrick.
The most ancient and celebrated is the abbey or cathedral of downpatrick.
The memory of his first victories is perpetuated in the name, downpatrick,--that is: the Dwelling of Patrick.
At downpatrick, where he built his cathedral, he took a little fawn which his men would have killed, and carried it in his breast.
It is a much more primitive structure than those at the Struel Wells, near downpatrick.
Down, and I was told that the great rath at downpatrick had been a very gentle place, meaning one inhabited by fairies.
Killala Bay is flanked on the west by downpatrick Head, which rises two thousand feet sheer above the sea-level.
I walked about the steep streets of downpatrick quite a while, after I reached the town, and found them unusually quaint.
After this victory De Courcy settled in downpatrick with his followers, and built a strong castle there for his better security.
At the instigation of a ghost a lawsuit took place at downpatrick in 1685.

XBMC Add-On Frontend Repository - zag - 2012-01-27 13:33
One thing I noticed with xbmc is the plugin management and organization is lacking. At the moment I think it is a manual process to add/approve plugins and there is no real central web repository. Plugins are hard to find on the web and discussion of them seems limited to random forum threads dotted all over the place. The documentation and source code is also not centralized. Lastly its hard to know if a plugin is working or broken.
Create a web based repository of all plugins containing basic information(details, icons, screenshots) as well as links to the community discussion, wiki manuals, source code links and current status.
details screen | category list
Future Ideas
- Move away from Slow XML data
- Community voting on plugin status [working/broken/abandoned]
- Make it more like Apple/Android web stores (allow donations/commercial plugins ect)
- Add user reviews and scores
Source code
Release History
- 0.2 fix bug with games category
- 0.1 initial release. Basic categories, info, and web links.
Test Link
Disclosure: I am part of the MeediOS project (I helped write their OpenMAID plugin repository). I also use xbmc though so happy to help out here as well.
- Martijn - 2012-01-27 16:35
The wiki has automatic updating on version/status and some basic info (only for the official xbmc repo)
the add-on dev's just need to make use of it.
Although it is a great idea never the less
- zag - 2012-01-27 17:34
Cool I can auto-link to those wiki pages easily as they seem to follow a good naming convention.

Thanks I got help from theuni already but I think it got forgotten about.
I updated the first link with the live version at the moment.
It would be nice to get a beta url hosted though for xbmc then some more people could contribute on it

You shouldn't be "more than happy. They lock up people who are "more than happy".
- zag - 2012-01-28 00:43
Some requests for the xml feed
- Please can you include plugin "version" in simplestats.xml. That will allow to properly link to the changelog and manual download.
- Extracting the screenshot from a zip file each time is fine for xbmc but very CPU intensive on a webserver. Is it possible to have them already extracted on the webserver? For now I have just linked to the zip file.
And for the future...
- I think eventually it would be best to have a unique ID for plugins instead of just a name. This would be faster to search and also prevent dupes.
- I dont think the site is very scalable, XML is sloooooooooow
- Wiki should have standard naming and structure. [done check here]
- How to to store extra plugin metadata such as paypal address and forum link, itunes like comments? Standard extra info XML maybe?
- Ned Scott - 2012-01-28 17:46
I've been meaning to get the automated add-on bot script for the Wiki working with some 3rd party repos, but my python skills are lacking. (hint hint)
I have manually done a few to show how it can be done (and a wonderful alternative to having to edit the first post of a thread all the time).
Also, lots of stuff planned for the 3rd party repo list: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Unofficial_add-on_repositories As you can see it's kind of a mess right now. It's hard to work on it without having it break the add-ons that use it to install other repos, so will need to work with someone on that as well.
Check out some of these examples:
I've also been meaning to push this more and make add-on developers more aware that the wiki exists for these things too. Feel free to help spread the word.
- zag - 2012-01-29 21:36
Is the plugin naming on the WIKI standard? I.E. The plugin title?
- bossanova808 - 2012-01-30 03:44
Ned - You should do a nice post explaining how to make one of those pages (I what to name it etc), I for one would much prefer my add on be in there than (as you say) editing the forum post....

Well if your add-on is in offcial repo it will be made automaticly. After that you can edit it yourself. As long as you don't remove the script parts.
The wiki editing does need some explaning and also some of the widgets that are usefull while editing.
- zag - 2012-01-30 19:10
Has anyone got a standard background for the xbmc plugin icons?
Is this ok?
I can create graphics for the plugins missing icons if needed?
- zag - 2012-01-30 20:11
Well I went ahead and created some for the metadata plugins that were missing icons
Can an admin add them to the official repository? Download here
NOTE1: I couldn't find this site "metadata.getlib.com"
NOTE2: And "metadata.common.dtrailer.com" is dead
- zag - 2012-01-30 20:20
And here are the pictures missing icons. Download here
NOTE1: I couldn't find this site "plugin.image.prensayrevistas"
NOTE2: I couldn't find this site "plugin.image.mypicsdb" either sorry. Anyone know the source?
- zag - 2012-01-30 20:47
And here are a few videos missing icons. Download here
NOTE1: There are too many plugins for me to do myself, gonna need some help with these ones

QuickBooks 2014: Transactions downloaded from a financial institution may not always match the register in QuickBooks, or you may not want to add certain transactions for a variety of reasons. The steps are essentially the same for deleting duplicate transactions.
Important: If you are using QuickBooks 2014 or later, please see the Using Bank Feeds (Online Banking) in QuickBooks 2014 article.
Intuit recommends 2 ways to do this, depending on which view you are using.
Note: If you know that QuickBooks is correct and want to delete the transactions that do not match, you must delete the entire statement after matching the appropriate transactions.
Note: Deleting the statement will prevent the unwanted transactions from appearing the next time you download a statement. If you do not delete the statement, the transactions that were not matched will always appear.
Note: If you're finished matching your statement, you can select Select all downloaded transactions older than and set the date to the last statement end date, then click Delete Selected. If you're unable to delete all transactions, switch to Register mode to delete the statement.

Household air can contain many pollutants including bacteria, dust mites, pet dander and plain old dirt. Its inevitable that the stuff floating around in the air is transferred to your food if it is exposed to that air. If you are circulating the air with a fan, as with a food dehydrator, you are increasing the exposure even more.

Great Value for money
I was considering the flagship excalibur but was put off by the price and the size. I also wasn't sure if I needed 5 or 9 trays.
I chose to buy the l'equip for multiple reasons. 7 Year warranty, the rectangle size which is better for my kitchen, the expandable trays (up to 20!) and the price.
I have since dehydrated kale, crackers, fruit, veg... all seems great. temperature control and timer. I can't see what this one doesn't do that the excalibur can...
so far so good

At this years golf tournament we announced that we will be returning to Chaudière Lodge on the Upper French River for our KBF fishing trip and sold our initial fishing package. It's now time to fill the lodge! Last years trip was incredible … the lodge and surrounding area was beautiful, the fishing was great and the food was spectacular. I could go on and on, but instead, see for yourself …. join us Sept 11-15 as we head back to Chaudière for the 2013 KBF Fall Fishing Trip. This all inclusive trip includes: 4 nights accommodations in a beautiful water front cottage, all meals, 18' cedar strip boat with 20 hp motor, gas, bait and fishing guides …. and all of this .. for just $900! All you need to bring is your cloths, fishing gear and beverages.
UPDATE: The 21st is fast approaching and things are coming together. Once again we have a FULL tournament (and if you ask Widder Station … maybe even a little more than full … LOL). So far the weather is looking good and we are expecting a great day of golf. On behalf of the Kaeden Brown Foundation I would like to invite you to our 4th Annual KBF golf tournament. This year not only marks the 4th annual but it also falls on the same day as our beloved Kaeden's birthday. We will be celebrating! The KBF tournament is our only fundraiser and we thank you in advance for your continued support of our mission.

PROMETHEUS Payment demonstration pilots
Improving the quality of American health care can seem intractable. According to an influential Institute of Medicine report, the existing payment system is an important cause of this problem. This project supports a new payment methodology, "Prometheus," that is different from both existing fee-for-service and capitation models as well as from reforms such as "pay for performance." The goal of Prometheus Payment is a system that calculates the cost of care for an entire course of treatment. It improves quality of care for the patient by removing conflicting goals inherent in existing payment systems by increasing transparency and equalizing risk between health care and insurance providers. The project's deliverables comprise the core concepts of Prometheus, such as: (1) developing prices for the services necessary to treat a set of medical conditions; (2) developing a scorecard to report the services provided; and (3) testing the Prometheus methodology in up to four pilot communities. This is a transfer of The Prometheus Payment Demonstration Pilots project from the Center for Health Improvement, Sacramento, California, to Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute, Inc.

The OECD has recommended ways for governments to take action against high costs for international mobile roaming. The recommendation largely follows the measures implemented or under consideration by the European Union. The OECD first recommends that governments promote transparent information on roaming prices, to help protect consumers and businesses from high costs. Setting a financial limit for data roaming services would also help, the group said. In addition, international MVNOs should have access to wholesale mobile services under local conditions and on fair and reasonable terms, the OECD said. They should also benefit from regulated wholesale roaming rates between operators. If the above measures are not effective, the OECD recommends that governments consider price regulation for roaming services. Wholesale roaming services could be regulated by means of bilateral or multilateral wholesale agreements with mutually established price caps.

Building direct resourcing capabilities has become far more than hiring recruiters and paying for a LinkedIn license, with the brand, PR, data, technology and finance now all pivotal components to the success of your channel.
Taking place in London on the 18th October, our event Building Direct Resourcing Capabilities will look at the blueprint of building a scalable resourcing offering.
We'll have our usual mix of guest speaker insight, roundtable discussion and speed meetings.
Areas covered will include:
Why it is becoming increasingly more important for employers to be in control of their own talent pools and talent pipelines, as candidate behaviours are changing quickly.
Discovering if you are ready to implement a direct resourcing model from a skills and technology perspective.
Why direct resourcing is more beneficial than leaving your employer brand to be represented to candidates by 3rd parties.
How important your hiring managers need to be, and how a collaborative approach with your recruitment team will yield untapped talent.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Yeah, the 6 GC would be ideal. I think those things are so technically overpriced, the used market will crush them on resale, which I'm already seeing cracks of. I'd love to wait another few months or so on one of those as the "newness novelty" wears off and go from there, though have to consider a few things like time, etc.
Too bad finally by the time I'm getting around to indulging in the tick I've had since the F10 came out (which is that I can't deny just how perfect that car is for me, the styling and design is very my-speed), the M Sports are gonna be so damn common. Again, I don't mind having a "common car", hey, if it's a great car and I'm not spending upwards of $100+K, then "commonality" doesn't signify such a bad thing (means the car is a true winner), but the W212's boredom-of-all-AMG-packages-everywhere just taught me that, like it or not, I need a car that has a variable availability and presence on the roads....
Though, again something to consider is when you're used to the W212 where EVERYONE has the exact same AMG Sport Package, I guess the F10 even in its newest era of "accessible M Packs" is a big improvement. Though the question is, where does the availability of it go from here.
IMO even the M5's presence will be diluted out as it doesn't look all that different from the M Sport. Though some M5 drivers I know will like the added ubiquity factor.

text: NEW YORK, May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Since its launch on April 20, the first-ever silver mining exchange-traded fund, Global X Silver Miners ETF (NYSE Arca: SIL), has traded as high as nearly a million shares in daily volume, and raised $35 million in assets in its first ten trading days. "These results reveal a previously-unmet, large need among investors for this unique play on precious metals," said Global X Funds CEO, Bruno del Ama. "The magnitude of the market's demand for this new investment tool is becoming more apparent as the fund grows and continued inquiries come in from institutional and retail investors." Silver mining companies are up nearly fourfold since bottoming in 2008, and physical silver has doubled in that time. Because SIL invests in silver mining companies, it provides a differentiated investment profile to investing in physical silver. According to Nick Barisheff, President of Bullion Management Group Inc., "at the beginning of a bull market, it is well documented that mining shares typically rise, and often outperform bullion." According to commodities analysts, silver demand should remain strong as a result of both investment interest and increased use in the consumer and industrial sectors. 54% of silver demand is industrial, and silver industrial demand is expected to rise 19% this year according to BMO Capital Markets. Some of the largest silver-focused mining companies in the Global X Silver Miners ETF include Silver Wheaton, Pan American Silver, Fresnillo, and Industrias Penoles. A number of the component companies are expected to increase silver production this year as new mines are opened, existing mines ramp up output, milling additions and re-permitting take place. "The Global X Funds Silver Miners ETF is designed to capture this anticipated growth in demand as well as company growth across the silver mining industry," says del Ama. "This ETF allows investors to gain exposure in a way that is focused on the silver sector while benefiting from the diversification of a basket of stocks." Global X Funds is the ETF provider posting the fastest growth rate over the past 6 months, expanding to just under $200 million in assets currently. This growth follows the launch of a family of China sector-specific ETFs and the recent silver and copper miners ETFs. Global X Funds will continue to bring innovative tools to investors, as indicated by its recent filings with the SEC, which include Lithium, Uranium, and Aluminum ETFs, and a family of Brazil sector-specific ETFs, among others. Disclaimer: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. There are additional risks associated with investing in base and precious metals as well as their respective mining industries. Narrowly focused investments may be subject to higher volatility.

Embedding YouTube Videos
We all have our favorite videos on YouTube and other video sites, right? You know, maybe it's a music video or one you find to be hilarious. Either way, if you have your own Web site or a MySpace profile, how would you like to show everyone your favorite videos right from there? Sounds cool, huh?! Then let's get to it.
You may have seen other sites embed videos from YouTube right on their pages. I mean, it's pretty common and to be honest, embedding videos is really easy!
1.) Embedding videos onto your Web site is just a matter of copying and pasting the HTML code. So, first, you need to find the YouTube video you'd like to embed. You can search for it right on YouTube's site.
2.) Once you're on the video page, look to the right of the video and under the video description, you will see a field called Embed.
3.) All you need to do is copy all of that HTML code and paste it onto your Web site, MySpace profile or wherever else you'd like to put it. (That is, any place that accepts HTML coding).
4.) Pretty easy, huh?! This trick will work on all popular video sites (like MySpace Videos and Google Video). Just look for the option that says Video Code, Embed or Put This Video on Your Page.
But we aren't done yet! YouTube allows you to make a custom video player as well, which is sort of like a collage of all your favorite videos. You have to check this out too!
1.) To create a custom player, you will need to have a YouTube account. So, go ahead and log in. If you don't already have one, you can quickly create one right here.
2.) Next, you will need to have a playlist of the videos you want to add to your player. You may already have a playlist created, but if not, search for a video you like and select a result.
3.) If you like it, press the Save to Favorites button under the video.
4.) Now, you can add the video to an existing playlist or create a whole new one.
5.) You can finish by adding all the videos you want to your playlist. Don't worry, you can always add more later as well!
6.) Next, head over to this Web site: http://www.youtube.com/custom_player.
7.) Type in the Player Name and Description and then select a color scheme that matches your site.
8.) Now, select a layout. I think layout number two is nice, because it allows the visitor to select if he or she wants to watch different videos. But the choice is yours!
9.) Finally, select the correct playlist and press Generate Code.
10.) Just copy and paste the code and viola, you're all set!
You now have a super cool custom video player and all the videos you love right at your fingertips!
You can check a custom player out in action right here if you're interested. Enjoy!

While Wal-Mart rules the roost in retail sales, the company does not have the presence online compared to Amazon. Since the Amazon Kindle Fire and Fire HD make available the whole array of Amazon products and services, which include clothes, appliances, and the like, Wal-Mart made a business decision to remove that "competitive" product from their shelves.
Target made the same move this past spring. Like Target, Wal-Mart intends to continue selling other tablets and e-readers , like the Google Nexus 7, Apple iPad, and ironically, the Barnes & Noble NOOK. It should be noted that all of the aforementioned devices enable its users to do at least everything the Amazon Kindles do, or more. So, while we see the business decision being made in terms of Amazon being the mega-online-retailer versus the brick and mortar Wal-Mart and Target stores, it does seem a little off the mark since customers do not typically make their shopping decisions based off a single factor.
In checking out Wal-Mart's web-site (and its big-box-retailer Sam's Club), the Amazon Kindle has been removed and when searching for it, in its place are some accessories and competing tablet products.
Given Amazon's standing compared to other retailers, this move overall does not come as a surprise. In the US there have been a number of back-and-forth political and public relations campaigns with regards to sales tax revenues, which gives some elements of Amazon's partners an edge over brick and mortar stores. Though, if a retailer the size of Wal-Mart singles you out as competition, Amazon can probably take that as a hint that they are doing something right.

New Indiana school board member doing state tour
The newest member of the Indiana State Board of Education says he'll embark on a statewide fact-finding tour to learn more about the state of education in Indiana.
Indianapolis Democrat Gordon Hendry said Monday he'll begin the tour next month while the Republican-dominated board and Democratic State Schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz tussle over control of K-12 education issues. Ritz is suing the board.
Republican Gov. Mike Pence appointed Hendry as an at-large member of the board last month
Hendry says he'll meet with board members from all nine Congressional districts as well as teachers, students and parents from schools in each area. He says he'll document the tour online at OurIndianaSchools.com.

Vintage Coca-Cola Christmas Items
The modern image of a fat, red-suited Santa Claus with a beard is often attributed to Haddon Sundblom, an artist hired by Coca-Cola in the 1930s to promote their product during the winter months. The ads he created portrayed a ruddy Santa Claus bringing cheer with a bottle of Coke, and the image stuck.
There's a wide variety of collectible Coca-Cola Christmas items on the market, including trays, glasses, toy delivery trucks, Santa figurines, snow globes, ornaments, advertisements and other ephemera. Look for old items, condition, and the original Sundblom images.

The Yale/Hartford Center of Excellence (CoE) in Aging has received renewed funding from the John A. Hartford Foundation to increase the amount of research, education and leadership in aging issues within medical specialties.
The CoE, led by Mary E. Tinetti, M.D., the Gladys Phillips Crofoot Professor of Medicine, and professor of epidemiology and public health at Yale School of Medicine, was created with funding from the Hartford Foundation in 1998.
"Our ultimate goal is better and more appropriate care of older patients through educating physicians in geriatric principles," Tinetti said. "Our approach at Yale has been to accomplish this goal by identifying and supporting talented and committed researchers who have the best potential for evolving into leaders in their field. We expect that the CoE scholars will influence not only their own direct trainees, but also the entire field through their work and their leadership."
Tinetti added, "This focus on physician scientists is important at a research-intensive medical school such as Yale, where research productivity and reputation are important measures of success and influence."
The CoE fills a gap in the need for subspecialty physicians to bring geriatric principles to their fields and complements the outstanding clinical, educational and research programs already available at Yale for designated geriatric trainees and faculty.
The strategy of the Yale CoE has been, and will continue to be, building on existing strengths throughout the institution and integrating geriatrics into existing research programs. Tinetti said this strategy ensures the best possible program, entices the strongest candidates, leverages resources and further enhances the prestige and importance placed upon geriatrics and aging at Yale.
Yale faculty members who have been supported by the CoE in Aging at Yale include:
Daniel Goldstein, M.D. (cardiology) "Immunologic Issues related to success of cardiac transplantation among elderly patients with CHF"
Joanne Foody, M.D. ( cardiology) "Older Persons Preferences for Preventive Cardiac Treatments"
Vincent Quagliarello, M.D. ( infectious disease) "Nursing home acquired pneumonia as a multifactorial geriatric syndrome"
Manisha Juthani-Mehta, M.D. (infectious disease/geriatrics) "Development of improved diagnostic criteria for urinary tract infection (UTI) in nursing home residents"
Albert Shaw, M.D. (infectious disease) "The role of presenilin mutations associated with early onset Alzheimer's disease in lymphocyte development and function"
Margaret Pisani, M.D. (pulmonology) "Cognitive Impairment in older patients in the MICU"
Insoo Kang M.D. ( rheumatology) "Effects of aging and immunosuppresion on viral specific T cells in the elderly with rheumatoid arthritis"
Elizabeth Jonas, M.D. (neuro endocrinology) "Insulin Receptors in the nervous system: a study on neuronal longevity."
Founded in 1929, the John A. Hartford Foundation is a committed champion of training, research and service system innovations that promote the health and independence of America's older adults. Additional information about the Foundation and its programs is available at www.jhartfound.org

Dryer Vent through Rim Joist
1 Attachment(s)
I'd like to drill a 4" hole through my rim joist and the brick to vent my dryer. Problem is that my furnace vent and intake are in the same area (see picture). I do not want to jeopardize the integrity of this joist with too many large holes for venting. I'd like to vent the dryer about 2 feet to the right of the furnace vent. Any opinions out there on if I should move forward with my plan of putting the dryer vent in at this location?
Also, I was planning on drilling a bunch of small holes through the brick and chiseling away to make the hole. Does anyone have any tips so that I do not crack or ruin the surrounding brick?
Thanks guys
why not double up the rim joist where the 4" hole will be. Go about 16" in either direction from center of the hole with the added rim joist piece, do not add nails where you will be making the hole. Drill lots of holes to make your circle in the brick and then start chipping away, a jack hammer with a chisel bit works great for getting the build up out, or a cold chisel...
1 Attachment(s)
I've not done it personally, but anytime I've seen someone drilling through brick/block, it was done with a core drill bit. (Like a hole saw, but for masonry) Seems to me that drilling your hole in one shot would lead to less damage to the surrounding area.
Hand Drive, the rim joist is actually already doubled up with 2x's so I'd be tripling it up. Doesn't sound like a bad idea
Pitts, thanks for the info on the bit, but I can only imagine how much one of those bits would cost for a 1 time thing. I already have a hammer drill available, so this will be the desired method.
I can always see how much the guy who put my furnace in would charge to drill the hole, he did a good job with the 2 you see above.
You could probably rent the bit Pittsville is talking about.
There might be some minimum distance you need from your boiler/furnace intake. Other than that I think you have a good plan.

Personal muy amable, habitaciones limpias y aparcamiento seguro. En general, fue una experiencia muy agradable, el personal fue más allá de nuestras expectativas para cumplir con mis necesidades de servicio al cliente! Muy amables y siempre dispuestos a ayudar.
Nuestra estancia en Houston Marriott nos dejó una impresión duradera en especial a mis hijos que tienen 17 y 15 años. En Junio de 2008 fui galardonado con el premio a la excelencia por FAPAC de diversidad en Nueva York y nos alojamos en el Brooklyn Marriott y Marriott LaGuardia por 6 días. Cuando mis hijos me preguntaron donde vamos a alojarnos en Houston y mi respuesta era el Marriott, no hubo más preguntas pero previsión excitante. Ellos disfrutaron de su estancia y me recordaron que prometiéramos que nos alojaríamos en un Marriott dondequiera que viajemos. He hecho un error al alojarse en el Comfort Inn en Nueva York en el camino a las Cataratas del Niágara. Aunque fue una estancia corta los chicos pueden explicar la diferencia. Así que Marriott será. Nos hubiera gustado quedarnos más tiempo.
They allowed us to bring our two dogs in without an additional pet fee, they had toiletries made by Bliss, Starbucks coffee, and Tazo tea in the hotel room, and the internet was free. The wireless internet signal was very weak on the 8th floor.
Clean, quiet, convenient location near restaurants between downtown and IAH airport.
its location to the convention the rooms were old. no microwave or ice box in room.
Comfortable room, gym, pool, great breakfast. They did not have my booking.com reservation. Then they accomodated me but did not note that breakfast is included so I had to sign for my breakfast bill and then re-claim it at check out. Pool opening times are not on hotel book in the room. Also pool does not have changing facility and this was not advised to me by the reception staff or the hotel book so I went down and had to go back up to the room to change, back down again and then go back up all wet ! One of the main reasons for me was the shuttle to Galeria but last shuttle is at 4.30 pm. Again, this was not stated on hotel info on booking.com
Very neat and clean. Room is a little small, but it wasn't an issue really.
Room good bed good and breakfast good When check out there appear some stange bill such as the phone bill and breakfast bill(my breakfast should be include)
Great room, good quality for money, clean, quiet, Upon checking in we were asked for a credit card for incidentals, which is normal. However, we were never offered the amount that would be put on hold. We had to ask how much would be put on hold. We were told 50.00. Because it struck us as weird that the amount was not offered upon arriving in the room we checked the amount requested. 150.00 we're put on hold. We called the front desk and we're told that it should not have been 150.00 (after we pointed out that the room was prepaid and it is not usual to charge the whole night's fee on a prepaid room) and that it would be returned. It was not. It still appeared on our statement. Not cool.
It was clean, comfortable and quiet.
There was a free shuttle bus that took me and my friend to the Galleria. The breakfast buffet was nice. The room was clean, but noisy. The staff were surly and slovenly and unresponsive. The rooms were noisy as next to the freeway (should have more sound proof windows then). City taxis refused to go to this hotel or didn't know where it was. Cleaning staff ignored 'do not disturb' signs and were very noisy. Biggest problem was that it was in the middle of nowhere and I had to take the free shuttle bus (runs three times a day) to get to the Galleria and then take a taxi to anywhere else. The shuttle bus only travels in a 5mile radius.
Yes they did not have wireless internet and cable interned did not work. How can conduct business without internet now a days.
I liked the price! The clientele made me feel uncomfortable.
Reall good walls are just thin
The staff in the concierge lounge was very nice I upgraded to concierge level and they closed it the weekend I was there and did not tell me
The staff is very friendly at check in and at the breakfast. We did not use the restaurant, so we cannot say anyting about that. We asked for a smoking room and that was the biggest mistake. We arrrived at our floor and the smell of cigarettes and cigars was terrible in the corridors. When we arrived in our room it was even worse. Besides that was the bathroom with hairs everywhere from other guests and we found a dirty towel on the showercurtain.........The furniture in the rooms are damaged and old. So it needs to be refurnished soon........
They did not give an imformation about internet.
Fantastik personell, positive and serviceminded. Very good hotel A simple weight scale to check how many Kg/pound they are where only avaliable during 1 hour in the evening??? Poor roadmaps was given, could be much more improved.
starbucks in lobby
The hotel was perfect. The room was spacious and clean. Perfect for business. There is not much around the hotel to look at or walk to. There were no close stores or places to eat.
Todo estaba limpio! Cama súper cómoda
El hotel estaba muy limpio y el personal era muy amable. El desayuno era delicioso, todas las comodidades básicas y con un desayuno caliente regular pero también tenían huevos (no estas cosas de microondas en hoteles baratos) huevos con chorizo y mucha fruta fresca. Tenía una habitación con una cama king size, que tenía un sofá cama también con una pared de privacidad. No me gustó que la dirección que tenía en mi GPS me dijera que me detenga en un área con puerta cerrada de la propiedad. Además, no me gustó que hubiera dos entradas separadas por una señal de entrada principal pero sólo 1 le llevará hasta el hotel, la otra te lleva a un restaurante sin acceso al hotel. Si se toma esa entrada equivocada tienes que dar la vuelta en el bloque para llegar a la derecha porque esas entradas están ubicadas en una manera respecto de la carretera de acceso. Tampoco me dejaron aparcar mi bicicleta bajo su marquesina en la entrada, normalmente no les importa pero si llueve y no es bueno para la moto, no hubiera ni siquiera bloqueando el camino de entrada, pero nos dijeron que no. Afortunadamente tenía una funda para poner sobre la bicicleta para mantenerla segura de la lluvia.
The bed was very comfortable. Somewhat firm with soft sheets. Room was a great layout with plenty of space. Check-in and out was quick and efficient. Very close to highway but never heard any traffic. Breakfast was delicious! No central A/C. The in-room A/C worked great but loudly clicked on and off and woke me up through the night. Should have brought a sound machine to drown it out.
Very Modern & clean. From the front desk to housekeeping, the staff was very friendly & professional The location due to all the construction. The daily breakfast was great, but would have enjoyed a daily changing menu.
This hotel is very clean, has good linens, great free breakfast and it's off the beaten path, but safe. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again. Didn't like the shower head because it diffused the water too much, but that's just personal preference. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Hot tub was dirty (looked like someone went the bathroom in it and it was COLD), lounge chairs always wet. Breakfast food was dry, cold, or they didn't have anything. Did not leave enough towels and wash cloths for the amount of people.
Looked brand new and better than I expected.

Front desk and management staff were especially helpful with driving directions and restaurant recommendations.
I loved that it was only 20 minutes from the place I needed to be for my wedding appointment. It was close to several eating establishments and we got a chance to see the FBI office. I didn't like that we had to wait 30 minutes to check in because the front desk person was no where to be found. We even called the hotel (from the lobby) with no answer. Maybe they should have more than one person for the peak check in hours.
Very quiet No

Brand new hotel, courteous, professional staff. We're able to provide early check-in, which was very helpful. Currently there is a major construction project on Hwy 290. Use alternate routes to get to the hotel.
The staff was great and the room was nice, especially for the price. The location was in the north part of town which was quite a distance from the places I needed to go while in town.
The staff was friendly and the room was clean. I was happy that the hotel had security in the parking lot. I paid extra to pay when I checked out of the hotel because I was waiting for my paycheck to be deposited in my bank account. The hotel would not let me check in on the first night and I was forced to find other accommodations until the next day.
Overall great experience. The pool area had to be opened by staff and not with my room card.
Very nice modern rooms and decor Although close to the airport, the neighborhood was definitely Hispanic and a poor area. No restaurant on site or grocery store nearby.
Convient, clean and simple contemporary decor. Noisy, first floor. you hear the dining area and people yelling or in conversation.
Was super clean and nicely decorated I'm a very cold person and you can't turn the heat up and we had a view of the woods
Spacious room, large beds, free breakfast, mix and mingle social events The front desk personnel has the worst customer service personality. She doesn't smile and greet customers nor does she have any soft skills. I have been to the location several times and she is the worst!
The hotel rooms were huge with lots of space, which was very nice. The staff at this hotel were terribly rude, and the non-smoking rooms smelled like smoke and mold.

My whole hotel experience was great,from the staff,the room, and service; everything was top notch. I was very pleased and I plan to stay again with my family before the Summer is over. No..I have no complaints.
There was a full kitchen available. No bedbugs. My bottom bed sheet was very loose. Didn't look like it had been changed. There were some wrappers on the elevator floor. The interior was 1990's, with a view of the intestate.
Friendly staff. Nice place to stay. Little hard to get to.

Staff, cleanliness, convenience of location...you can't beat it. Absolute value!

Location, amenities and staff was great! Will stay again!
Staff was very nice and friendly. One of the bath towels was not clean.
Clean and comfortable beds. No coffee until 6:30 AM
The staff was awesome, extremely friendly and professional. .. The location of the hotel made it a little harder to find, but the staff made up for that! Very accommodating.
Shuttle drives 5 miles any way which is a sweet thing
the staff was very good,actually they were great... no.....
location, ease of access overrated and needs remodeling. questionable clientele

Very friendly staff...close to airport. Shuttle worked as planned. Shuttle driver who brought me to the hotel...was trying to talk politics with me and other passengers. I know it's an election year, but spare me. I got put in a handicap room. Since I'm not handicapped, the layout was inconvenient.
Great staff. Beautiful room. Disappointed that there was no microwave or mini fridge in our room.
room was nice staff could not provide accurate directions to property, don't like bathroom lights with fan connected to switch
Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Indoor pool and spa, excellent and clean. Outdoor patio accessible from the room, very nice. Room smelled a bit musty as if it were once a smoking room and the odor never completely cleared. No restaurant in the hotel. What is available is highy overpriced ready-made snack stuff.
La habitación olía fatal. El aire acondicionado goteaba en la habitación. El desayuno era el peor que he visto. La única comida caliente eran huevos duros.
No había nada que me gustara Instalación terrible. Vieja, maloliente, personal incompetente, ubicación superficial y en general una terrible experiencia.
Location No HBO, even though there was an booklet in the room. Not very good channel selection. Breakfast room locked so impossible to even get a cup of coffee earlier than 7.
Room was updated and clean. Staff was very friendly, and breakfast was way better than expected. nothing! Everything was great.

Once again I was turned away upon check in and told to go to another hotel. Priceline once again failed me and overbooked -- I then was forced to stay in a miserable hotel where I was afraid of bed bugs and robberies.
Price, locations No
The hotel is nicely updated. Everything looks clean and new. The parking is temporarily closed due to repairs.
Helpful and very kind staff - amazing people.
Clean room, clean facilities, very friendly staff....no problems. It is what you would hope for in a quick over night stay.
5 mins before ckng in received call dbl bed was not avail, then call to upgrade to suite with one bed/ Pull out. No bedding avail /hskpg gone for day. Very nice desk clerk finally provided sheets/no blankets available. Mattres Stained.
The property seemed to be well-maintained inside and out. The staff was very friendly. Breakfast area was small, and there was not enough room to sit one day of my stay. I left the area and returned 20 minutes later so I was able to sit down to eat my meal.
Very nice hotel for the money. The hotel itself isn't fancy, but the rooms were right up there with the premium hotels. Especially liked the mini fridge. Free wifi was nice too. Great value. Will deferential stay there again!
The hotel is updated and nice. Beds were nice and comfortable. The area of town is not the best but the hotel and the hotel parking lot was very safe. There is not a lot of restaurants close by but there are several places that deliver. The area of town is not great but the hotel is very safe
Great price. Great breakfast. Close to many restaurants and stores. The hotel was not cosmetically appealing (as shown in pictures). Off the freeway but situated near apartments and a lot of construction debris. Dirty area.
Service was great No
big, clean, quiet, comfortable room. King bed, sofa, desk and comfortable chair.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Quiet Thin towels Cheap toiletries
weekend night front desk was not nice to the guest ( was nasty)
The rooms were Large and the free breakfast. The hotel managers cell phone kept ringing and he kept answering it while we were checking in . This was extremely aggravating and time-consuming .Rooms were old needed to be updated bathroom was small tub needed to be replaced.
Ok for what we paid. Would not of paid more Nothing close to walk too, All off by itself. The breakfast that was included was very poor and month most of it you could not even eat they had a waffle or you can make your own waffle after my husband ate it he ended up having diarrhea when we told the
Good value On the first day of a two day stay, our room was not cleaned. LOTS of construction going on around this hotel makes access difficult.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Beds and room were comfortablle Bathroom was not in good shape. There were occasional roaches found. Wireless service was spotty. Breakfast was limited.
The price is affordable and breakfast is provided. Nothing really.
shower was not working, no power outlets and some of the lights were not working
Sting and dirty
Close yo the freeway and downtown Stinks, people live there the rent the rooms for months at a time, there is an off duty cop at the front desk
This place is ratchet but it's also amazing. No frills, you totally get more than what you pay for, beds were comfortable and the sheets were clean... All walks of life are welcome here to have a decent nights sleep for an approachable price.
I requested non smoking the room smelled like smoke :( Also you could not control the temperature in the room and it was so hot.
Service was great front clerk was great and very polite.. Rooms were outstanding . Everything was great!!

It's quiet
Price Good for an older hotel.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The motel has a great location in northwest Houston, just outside North Loop West on 290 Northwest Freeway. Restraunts, shopping of various stores, fuel etc.. The amenities fulfilled my stay. Exercise room, early morning to start the day. No complaints in this catagory.
Breakfast was good. I appreciated my king size bed. I had a very poor internet connection that night. I needed to conduct business, so I was a little disappointed about that. Coffee wasn't too good.
Free breakfast Seemed a little expensive for the cheapness
Location was great for what i need it very clean and friendly staff
- clean- front desk was responsive- breakfast was decent - not following fire code (battery was low on smoke detector, and so when reported the beeping, the battery was removed with no replacement)- beds were quite soft- felt like the room was overpriced

Timbuktu, Mali • The convoy of cars bearing the black al-Qaida flag came at high speed, and the manager of the modest grocery store thought he was about to get robbed.
Mohamed Djitteye rushed to lock his till and cowered behind the counter. He was dumbfounded when instead, the al-Qaida commander gently opened the grocery's glass door and asked for a pot of mustard. Then he asked for a receipt.
Confused and scared, Djitteye didn't understand. So the jihadist repeated his request. Could he please have a receipt for the $1.60 purchase?
This transaction in northern Mali shows what might seem an unusual preoccupation for a terror group: Al-Qaida is obsessed with documenting the most minute expenses.

I would save that for historic value and get a Guardian or LCP if you want a mouse gun. Thats a sweet collectible though.
This could be it. My father ,who was in the 101st Airborne in WWII, took this from a German General in surrender. I've had it for years and now I can put it to use as a CCW pocket pistol. I have fired it and it works flawlessly. It's a Walther .25 ACP with an excellent safety. It fits anywhere and is invisible.
I would save that for historic value and get a Guardian or LCP if you want a mouse gun. Thats a sweet collectible though.
you are lucky - but - save it for a collectable
have it appraised for its value - it will only go up in value!
if you like the small size - and many people do - get the keltec 3AT(.380) or the Ruger LCP(.380) - they are barely bigger and are the minimum recommended for personnal protection - ALSO they will weigh either the same or a little lighter
keltec sells 1,000 a week (in 2006) and Ruger just came out with theirs.
I bought the Ruger
i had a colt jr in 1970 - aimed at my father-in-law's old rusty burn barrel (a 55 gal drum) and hit it square and it richoched back and hit me on the shin - glad i didn't aim higher
I think the 25acp is good for under 3feet - no one wants to get that close to an assailiant
I am on some interminable waiting list for the Ruger LCP. I may get it some day. Unlike many here, I consider smaller calibers as effective tools if used properly.
As to collector's value, I am at the point in life where I realize that keeping something in a safe and calling it valuable has no meaning for me. The little pistol's perceived value may appreciate after I am gone, but I won't care then. So I would rather "use" it, and experience it. That is its value to me. There is documentation in the Infantry Museum at Fort Benning, GA of how, where and when it was obtained, but really, how much value is it?
People will pay money for such weapons. I sold a beat up Chief's Special I had in Vietnam for a fair amount of money. But I would rather keep this and probably carry it around some.

Though his statement on the matter is far from unequivocal, it sure seems like 49ers coach Mike Singletary isn't interested in acquiring quarterback Mike Vick.
Singletary talked about the situation with our friends at Sporting News Radio's The Monty Show.
"Well I look at it like this," Singletary said. "Right now, [G.M] Scott McCloughan and myself have not really talked about Mike Vick a lot. His name has been mentioned maybe once or twice very early on and that was just because they were interviewing us about him. But going forward I think we have enough on our plate with these two guys [Alex Smith and Shaun Hill] competing with one another and the whole Michael Vick situation will work itself out. We're trying to make sure that we have the situation at hand under control and get the most out of those guys and go forward."
So it's very far from a "yes," but it's still not a "no."
Our guess? As mentioned in our recent item for SportingNews.com regarding Vick's ten possible destinations, Singletary might want Vick — and could be facing internal resistance.
Singletary Seems To Say He's Not Interested In Vick
Though his statement on the matter is far from unequivocal, it sure seems like 49ers coach Mike Singletary isn't interested in acquiring quarterback Mike Vick.
myusernamestinks says: May 22, 2009 9:08 PM
Our guess? Singletary isn't going to drop trou early on this, and do what teams like Washington do to their quarterback. Vick still isn't off his knees yet, as far as the league is concerned, so the flasher has no reason to take a position on Vick at this time. He's playing it like he should. Sorry-assed team like St. Louis should do the same.
justinkwang says: May 22, 2009 9:23 PM
[city][team name] not interested in Vick.
DCNinerFan says: May 22, 2009 10:12 PM
Again, I feel like I just went back in time 2 months… C'mon, the 9ers already said they are not going to go after Vick. Stop rehashing the same stories!
CFioren317 says: May 22, 2009 10:34 PM
If Mike Vick ends up creating a Twitter account, the PFT hamsters will hang themselves…

I think they would be perfect together. Maybe Mike can help Mike pull down his pants this time.

Prostate Cancer
What is Staging?
If cancer is found in the prostate, the doctor needs to know the stage of the disease and the grade of the tumor. Staging is a careful attempt to find out whether the cancer has spread and, if so, what parts of the body are affected. The grade tells how closely the tumor resembles normal tissue in appearance under the microscope.
Doctors use various blood and imaging tests to learn the stage of the disease. Imaging tests, such as ultrasound, CT scans, and magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, produce pictures of images inside the body.
In 2013, a product called UroNav was introduced. Resembling a stylized computer workstation on wheels, UroNav electronically fuses together pictures from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound to create a detailed, three-dimensional view of the prostate. This image helps doctors more precisely target the area in the prostate gland that needs to be biopsied.
Stages of Prostate Cancer
There are four stages used to describe prostate cancer. Doctors may refer to the stages using the Roman numerals I-IV or the capital letters A-D. The higher the stage, the more advanced the cancer. Following are the main features of each stage.
Stage I or Stage A -- The cancer is usually too small to be seen on an x-ray and causes no symptoms. The doctor may find it by accident when performing surgery for another reason, usually on an enlarged prostate. There is no evidence that the cancer has spread outside the prostate. A sub-stage, T1c, is a tumor identified by needle biopsy because of elevated PSA.
Stage II or Stage B -- The tumor is still confined to the prostate but involves more tissue within the prostate. The cancer may be found through a biopsy that is done because of a high PSA level. There is no evidence that the cancer has spread outside the prostate.
Stage III or Stage C -- The cancer has spread outside the prostate to nearby tissues. A man may be experiencing symptoms, such as problems with urination.
Stage IV or Stage D -- The cancer has spread to lymph nodes or to other parts of the body. The bones are a common site of spread of prostate cancer. There may be problems with urination, fatigue, and weight loss.

Add the Make the Cut software and/or the Sure Cuts a Lot software and you've got the best of both worlds. Love the ease of popping in a cartridge for quick cuts and then being able to use True Type fonts and dingbats with the software and it's the best!

Instead, during the entire prosecutor's case and opening statement, she was in the basement of the courthouse, where the trial was piped in through a speaker system. She did not file an appeal. It was not until 2002 that Judy, with the help of counsel, filed a petition in which she asserted, among other things, that standby counsel should have been assigned to protect her Sixth Amendment right to counsel. While the U.S. District Court agreed and ordered a new trial, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed, leaving Judy in prison for the rest of her life.

Far and Away (1992)
Plot Summary
A young man leaves Ireland with his landlord's daughter after some trouble with her father, and they dream of owning land at the big give-away in Oklahoma ca. 1893. When they get to the new land, they find jobs and begin saving money. The man becomes a local bare-hands boxer, and rides in glory until he is beaten, then his employers steal all the couple's money and they must fight off starvation in the winter, and try to keep their dream of owning land alive. Meanwhile, the woman's parents find out where she has gone and have come to the U.S. to find her and take her back.- Written by Ed Sutton <email@example.com>
Joseph Donnelly, a young Irish man facing property eviction after his father's death, decides to take revenge on Daniel Christie, his landlord. In an attempt to kill Christie, however, he is injured and sentenced to a duel with Christie's arrogant manager, Stephen Chase. Meanwhile, Shannon, Daniel's daughter, is growing dissatisfied with the traditional views of her parents' generation and longs to be modern. She makes her plans to leave for the U.S., and with her help, Joseph is able to escape. Upon arriving in Boston, they find jobs and begin saving money. Joseph becomes a local bare-hands boxer, while Shannon works in a chicken processing plant and then as a dancer at the social club. All goes well until Joseph loses a boxing match, after which their money is taken away. Joseph and Shannon are left to starve in the winter cold. Shannon's parents, still in Ireland, face a devastating loss and decide to come to America to be with her. Chase, who joined them, has begun a campaign to find her, but his efforts are unnecessary Joseph brings Shannon to them after an accident. Joseph then heads west to work on the railroad. After many months, Joseph is confronted by his father in a dream, and is reminded of his desire to own his own land. Joseph decides to join the wagon trains and arrives in Oklahoma Territory just in time for the big land race, upon which his fate will lie.- Written by Amy Jentoft <firstname.lastname@example.com>
