How to Buy at Auction
Browse the Catalogue
Visit our website to browse the online catalogue for all our auctions, including full lot listings, descriptions, and photos of each offered lot.
Inspect Lots of Interest
Prior to each auction, you can view our offered automobiles onsite during listed "Preview" times. RM Sotheby's Car Specialists and Research teams are on hand to help answer any questions or provide any additional information you may require. If you are unable to attend the auction, please contact our Client Service department, who will be happy to provide you with a complete condition report and any accompanying history files.
Register to Bid
To bid at an RM Sotheby's auction, you must first decide on how you would like to bid (onsite, by telephone, online, or absentee), then register as a Bidder. The registration process is simple and only takes a few minutes. To register, you can either create an account on the RM Sotheby's website and complete the registration process online, or you can contact our Client Service department (by phone or email) for alternate registration options.
Following a successful purchase, payment is due in full on or before 5:00 p.m. on the first business day following the auction. Payment options include wire transfer, certified checks, and personal checks accompanied by a Bank Letter of Guarantee. Our Administration department will follow up with you post-sale to help facilitate payment and shipping. RM Sotheby's works exclusively with Reliable Carriers, the most well-respected transporter of collector cars. We're happy to provide you with quotes for shipping and help arrange the delivery of your vehicle to your home.
RM Sotheby's ensures your car has a clean and transferable title prior to the vehicle crossing the auction block. After a successful purchase, the title will be transferred into your name by our Administration team and delivered to you via courier. At this time, it is your responsibility to register your new vehicle with your local Department of Motor Vehicles.
The thrill of acquiring a collector car may start with the auction, but the pleasure of enjoying it lasts a lifetime!
Auction Lot
Each car crossing the auction block is given a lot number. Lots are sold in sequential order, typically starting with lot 101. If the auction is two days, lots on the second day will start at lot 201. At auction, we sell an average of 20–25 automobiles per hour.
Bid Display
The bid display screen will show you which lot is currently being offered, along with the current bid price (in multiple currencies). If you find it difficult to follow the auctioneer, refer to the bid display screen as your reference.
Bid Spotter
Bid spotters act as assistants to the auctioneer by watching the audience for bids that the auctioneer may not see. Should you wish to bid, get a bid spotter's attention and they will help relay your bid to the auctioneer.
The auctioneer is the official conductor of the auction; the person who accepts bids and declares lots sold or not sold. The auctioneer will announce when the car has reached the point at which it may sell by telling the audience the car "will be sold."
The commentator's job is to introduce each lot and give a short description of it prior to the auctioneer opening up the lot for bidding. Pay close attention, as the commentator will occasionally announce new information regarding the lot that supersedes information that may have been seen online or in the catalogue.

What to Consider When Buying a Classic Automobile
Automobile collecting has matured and is on par with the collection of fine art. With over 25 car specialists strategically placed in key markets around the world and six full-time researchers who pride themselves on thoroughly establishing the provenance of every car we offer, RM Sotheby's is able to advise clients through every element of investing in a classic automobile.
Is the car entirely original, or has it been restored? If it was restored, how recently and thoroughly was it completed, and was it carried out to period-correct standards? In what state are the paint, chrome, interior, and other components of the car?
Is this the most desirable presentation of this particular model or year? Does it include the best combination of optional equipment? Is it equipped with the most powerful engine? How popular or rare is its color combination?
How does the car's presentation today compare to the day it was built? Is it a numbers-matching car with its original engine, transmission, chassis, and body? Can its originality be substantiated with factory records and other documentation?
Who acquired the car new, and is the sequence of subsequent owners known and documented conclusively? Are any of these owners prominent to the extent they might add value to the car? In the case of a competition car, was it raced by any famous drivers, or did it win any notable races? With a road car, did it secure notable awards at prominent concours d'elegance events?
How do prices compare both at auction and privately for this particular marque, model, and year? How much do condition, provenance, and specification play a part in its value?

- I have consulted the Oracles (well, my Oracle pup at least).
- I've tossed the Warlock bones (some just can't be saved OK… I'm a great believer in "waste not, want not", so I have a side business flogging wards of protection from Locks to desperate, but dim witted Warriors).
- I've read and reread the entries and I am unhappy to say that the winner isn't a Gnome!
However, while this race my not be playable for a few months yet, I can see that they have the makings of great Wizards.
So, without further ado, the winner of The Footsteps of Illidan loot code is…

Nazzle's Shady Grotto Rehabilitation Clinic
Realizing there was a market for rehabilitating Warlocks that was largely unexploited, the beneficent goblin Nazzle decided to step in to help with this problem at a large profit for himself. For maximum effectiveness and profitability we follow the three S'es: Security, Speed, and Profit.
To cover security, we chose a remote cave system to house our facilities, and caved in the entrance. The only way in or out is through a portal, so escape is much cheaper to prevent. We also reverse-engineered the Summoning prevention system used at Tempest Keep on the off chance that one of our patients manages to bribe another Warlock.
We also have a deal with the Sha'tari Skyguard for specially trained Nether Ray's to inhibit spell casting, and in extreme cases provide shock therapy.
For speed we have a specially designed "10 Steps to Freedom" program.
Step 1 – Bag and Demon Removal
We do this to ensure our patient will not have access to soul shards, remove their dependency on Demons, and help cut all ties to their old Warlock way of life. This process usually requires some force, but any damage done will just make Step 2 that much quicker. Part of our Nether Ray training is specifically designed to prevent Imp summoning as well, and all our patients are accompanied by at least three Nether Rays at all times.
Step 2 – Death
Warlocks rarely go long without a soul stone, and the quickest way to remove this is death. It may sound cruel, but we have trained healers on call to provide resurrection if necessary. Tough love is much quicker and effective, and time is money.
Step 3 – Fire
Fire has a cleansing effect in nature, and even Druids approve it's controlled use in forests to clear brush and rejuvenate the area. At NSGRC we use fire as a form of rehabilitation. It's used extensively in Step 2, and we use fire spells as a link crossing the gap between Warlock and Mage. We have counseling sessions where our patients are allowed to decimate target dummies with fire spells. These sessions are lead by Mages and are used to train our patients some of their first Mage spells. Accidents do happen, and our healers are well trained in treating burns.
Step 4 – Food/Water
Our patients are only allowed to eat and drink what they can conjure themselves. This does lead to some dehydration and starvation, but fasting is used by many races throughout Azeroth to clear the mind. This also cuts down our costs, and increases profitability. Our on-call healers do provide resurrection when necessary.
Step 5 – Falling
When choosing our location we ensured that an area would be available for Slow Fall training without taxing our overworked healers. The 50 foot waterfall works nicely, and the pool at the bottom catches the slow learners. Some of our patients are a bit hesitant about jumping, but a little shock from our Nether Rays is more than enough to get them over the edge. We have a Water Elemental in the pool at the bottom to provide an icy incentive to learn quickly, and provide an introduction to Step 6.
Step 6 – Ice
Besides the waterfall pool, we also have several Water Elementals employed in a refrigeration cave. After several sessions with our fire counsellors from Step 3, our patients tend be enthusiastic about attending a session that does not involve burning. This tends to be the most calming part of the rehabilitation as brain functions tend to slow down considerably at the temperature maintained in the refrigeration room. In order to cut down on frostbite, these sessions involve games of musical chairs with chairs made entirely of ice, and the loser being trained first hand on encasing themselves in an ice block.
Step 7 – Polymorph
Once a patient has demonstrated their ability to feed themselves, we transfer the feeding of their Nether Ray guards to them as well. Like all caves this one is home to a large contingent of Trogs, but Trogs are not one of a Nether Rays preferred foods. A simple polymorph however will provide the Nether Ray with edible food, and being awoken in the middle of the night by three hungry Nether Rays provides significant incentive to learning quickly.
Step 8 – Blink
At this point in the program, the patient is eating regularly again and has the caloric energy to participate in our obstacle course. This course is specifically designed so Blink is required to complete it without falling down a crevasse or being caught by one of the more dangerous obstacles. Knowledge of fire and ice magic will also provide an edge on completing the course quickly and safely. These races are telecast so you can check up on your soon-to-be Mage friend, and of course we have goblins available to take bets on the outcome.
Step 9 – Arcane
The arcane Mages we have employed are rather secretive about their counseling methods, but with the results they have provided their requests for soundproofing and one way locks on the doors seem very reasonable. Their record for injuries is also lower than any other two sessions put together, and the few cases of partial polymorphation have all been adequately corrected.
Step 10 – Teleportation
This is the final step of the process, and ensures that our service is guaranteed. Patients are not permitted to leave until they can teleport themselves out. After our therapists have deemed the patients ready to return to society, all therapy sessions are doubled and sleep is forbidden.
Our Profit is your guarantee!
Profit is always a part of any Goblin enterprise and NSGRC is no exception. For the low price of just 20,000 gold we include an exclusive restraint and pick up service. Our ten step program is guaranteed to turn any Warlock into a functioning member of society as a Mage.
For legal purposes NSGRC is classified as a prison, but please remember we treat all our patients with the utmost care. Our legal status just allows us to rehabilitate our patients that much more quickly and cheaply than the competition.
So please tell your friends, but please keep Warlocks in dark.
The element of surprise is a very effective therapy tool.
Thanks for your time,
Jesse <– THE WINNER!
Ummmm.. thanks for MY time?
What an awesome entry amongst entries… there was a certain Lock that nearly pulled it off.. you know, knowledge from the inside… maybe I'll post that… maybe she wants to post it herself…
However, I hereby announce that Jesse is the All-Azerothian Rehab specialist. I'll contact you shortly with the loot code.
To be completely honest, I think the real winners today are the Mages, the once-were-Locks and, of course me!
New day, same time – 8pm PDT TUESDAYS!
Special thanks to Fimlys and the Twisted Nether Blogcast for helping me out with this one. I hope that Nibuca was there and managed to read this out.. please tell me she did… please…
Ohhh… what about the screenshots CC'd Locks… I know who… you will tomorrow!
Yeah, I know, that's kinda cruel… but rubbing shoulders with Locks during their treatment does that.
Of course if they were (or are) listening to TNB Live, they would/will know!
Gnomer and Out!

Drawer, Chair & Desk Combo by Claudio Sibille
Claudio Sibille Spotlights The Ludovico Office Drawer, Chair & Desk Combo
Claudio Sibille, the architect of the awarded design Drawer, Chair & Desk Combo:Ludovico Office by Claudio Sibille explains, As with the Ludovico main furniture, this office version obvioulsy has the same principle which is to hide a full chair in a drawer with the chair not being noticed, and seen as part of the main furniture. Most will think that the chairs are a couple more drawers. Only when pulled back we see a chair literally coming out from such a crowded space filled with drawers. Inspiration in great measure came from a visit to Pittamiglio´s caste and all of its symbolic, hidden messages as well as hidden and unexpected doors or full rooms..

I've found some really great musical gems from TV Commercials lately. Either I'm watching too much TV or the creators are not your father's Mad Men. Here's a few of my recent favorites:
Powerful Stuff, Sean Hayes – Subaru
Love, Matt White – McDonald's McRib
Say Hey (I Love You), Michael Franti & Speerhead – Corona
Hey Soul Sister, Train – Samsung 3D TV
Morning Sun, Shayna Zaid & The Catch – Ford Edge
So, does putting interesting and/or appealing music really sell more product? I say it doesn't hurt and it prohibits me from turning the channel when I hear it come on…so it is certainly creating awareness for these advertisers. And in the advertising business, that is key. Plus, it gives exposure to new artists that might not ever be "discovered".

Perez a blossoming star in Kansas City
Young catcher already among the best, enjoying life on and off field
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- There are many things that describe the Royals' Salvador Perez. He's an All-Star, a Gold Glove winner and a team leader at 23, a big catcher with a big laugh, a big heart and a big future.
Perhaps, though, Royals closer Greg Holland encapsulated it best: "He lives and breathes baseball, and that's what makes him very good."
Perez certainly is a visible presence on a Royals team that appears to be on the brink of a breakthrough.
At 6-3 and 240 pounds, he commands the field in mask, chest protector and shin guards with masterful utilization of a cannon arm, soft hands, quick feet and an agile mind. At bat, there's the strong right-handed swing that blesses him with power, production and average.
Though still about two months shy of his 24th birthday, his clubhouse presence goes beyond his deep, booming voice and his energetic forays around the room as he exchanges smiles and jibes. He's quickly earned respect and friendship among his elders as well as the younger players.
Veteran pitcher Jeremy Guthrie even invited Perez, who is from Valencia, Venezuela, to accompany him on a trip to Spain last winter.
"Not too hard to get him over there. We saw a lot of soccer matches, talked some baseball and had a blast," Guthrie said.
And they bicycled around Barcelona, too.
"That was awesome," Perez said. "It took like four or five hours. We went everywhere -- I mean everywhere. It was awesome. I want to go back."
That's Perez, enthusiastic about everything, especially baseball.
Ned Yost got his first eyeful of Perez's catching skills when, while scouting before becoming Royals manager, he was sitting in the stands with his stopwatch. Scouts time a catcher's throw to second base, mitt to glove, and Yost said the Major League average is two seconds flat and 1.9-something seconds is really good. But 1.85 seconds or below?
"I thought that was a fallacy. I'd never seen that one time in my career -- never," Yost said.
Until he saw Perez, who was just out of A ball.
"The first time I saw Salvy in a game, he threw a runner out and I clicked it and it was 1.83," Yost recalled. "Well I've never been real good with this watch anyway so I figured I'd goofed it up some way. So I turned to the guy next to me and I said, 'What'd you get on that?' And he looked and said, 'I got a 1.83.' I turned to another guy and he said, 'I got a 1.84.' That's when he caught my eye."
Which is why last season he threw out 23 runners trying to steal, most in the American League. Baserunners also have become so wary of his lightning pickoff throws that he nailed just one last year, giving him nine in his 250 big league games as a catcher.
"He's so athletic for a big guy. His bottom half works with his top half [so well]," Yost said. "I've never seen another catcher work like that."
Pitchers love pitching to Perez, as newly-arrived left-hander Jason Vargas can attest.
"He's so young and so talented at an early age. The other catchers that I've had, some have been young, some have been veteran guys, but I think he puts himself in a different category with the way he's played since he's been in the big leagues," Vargas said. "He definitely knows what's going on back there and has a good idea of how to adjust from game to game and pitch to pitch."
Perez's ability to block pitches gives pitchers the confidence, even with a runner on third base, to bury a pitch in the dirt in an effort to tempt a hitter. They're pretty sure he'll come up with it, dust and all. They also can depend on Perez to come up with a plan.
"I played with what I consider the two best in the American League," Guthrie said, "with [Baltimore's Matt] Wieters and him, so I've been impressed with both of them -- the way they do things and the way they command their position. It's a very important position on the field, so I've been very fortunate to play with both. They've both won Gold Gloves and both have been All-Stars in very short careers so far."
Pitching coach Dave Eiland noted that Perez knows that it's important to treat each pitcher differently.
"He doesn't just blanket them and say, 'OK, every pitcher is going to pitch each hitter the same way,' " Eiland said. "He's very good at knowing how each pitcher's strength matches up to each hitter."
All of which got Perez his first Rawlings Gold Glove Award, which he heard about in Spain from Royals general manager Dayton Moore.
"Guthrie came to my room, knocked on the door and said, 'Somebody wants to talk to you.' I see the smile on Jeremy's face when he passed me the phone. I said, 'Somebody wants to talk to me here? I don't believe you, Jeremy,' " Perez said.
"So I got on the phone and it was Dayton Moore and he said, 'I want to tell you congratulations.' I said, 'Thank you. But why?' He told me that I'd won the Gold Glove, you're the best defensive catcher in the American League. I said, 'Thank you, I have to call my mother right now. I'll talk to you later.' "
Perez makes certain that his mother, Yilda, shares his joy. She raised him as a single mom in Venezuela. Salvy often remembers how, as a kid, his mother tossed him corn kernels or bottlecaps for him to hit around the kitchen or the patio with a broomstick.
Hitting is another thing that Perez has done notably well. He batted .301 in his knee injury-shortened 2012 season, and last year, in 138 games, he pounded 13 homers and 25 doubles with 79 RBIs and a .292 average.
Following Thursday's Cactus League game, a 6-6 tie with the White Sox, Perez is 8-for-15 (.533) in Arizona.
Perez has learned an important fact of Major League life, the ability to separate woes at the plate and the responsibilities in the field. No defensive player has more riding on him than the catcher.
"When I catch, I just worry about my position. When I go to hit, I think about hitting," Perez said. "If we win the game, I might go 0-for-4, but I feel happy. I worry more about my defense. That's the thing I can control, I can control what I do behind home plate. Hitting is a little harder -- you can go up and down."
So it's fitting that when Perez recounts the three biggest moments of his career so far, just the third involved his bat.
"I've got three things that I'll always remember. My first Gold Glove. When I caught Mariano Rivera in the All-Star Game. And when I hit a bomb in 2012 to win the game," he said.
Perez and Rivera, saluted in his final All-Star appearance last year at New York, were the only players on the field for that poignant moment. The 2012 home run off the foul pole beat the Angels, 3-2, and followed Billy Butler's two-run game-tying blast at Kauffman Stadium.
"He's going to develop more power as he goes, and he always puts the ball in play," Yost said. "He's not a big strikeout guy, but he'll learn to take more walks and stuff like that which is key to his production."
For all of Perez's defensive skills, the Royals are teaching him to play first base, which he did in the final game of last season and in 22 games this winter in Venezuela. The idea is to perhaps give him an occasional break from the demands of catching or give Eric Hosmer a break against a tough left-handed pitcher.
Make no mistake, though, catching is what makes Perez such a treasure.
"He's way ahead of the curve, he's past the curve. But still has another level to go to, like all our players," Yost said. "You sit here and think, 'OK, he's an All-Star and a Gold Glover,' but what's encouraging is you still see areas in which he can even be better in and will be better in. You look at a guy like [the Cardinals'] Yadier Molina and he's at the level by himself, but Salvy's right behind him."

A federal jury has ruled Cisco must pay $US70 million ($A67.55 million)in fraud damages to patent licensor XpertUniverse, Bloomberg reported Friday.
According to the report, the verdict brings to end a two-week trial during which New York-based XpertUniverse alleged Cisco falsely led it to believe a partnership deal was in the works.
XpertUniverse, which first brought charges against Cisco in 2009, specifically alleged "fraudulent concealment" on Cisco's part, suggesting that the networking giant had led XpertUniverse to believe for more than six months that the two companies would be partnering, when Cisco had already rejected the deal internally.
Meanwhile, the jury also found Cisco guilty of infringing on two XpertUniverse patents, ruling it pay more than $US33,000 on those counts.
Cisco said in an emailed statement to CRN that it was "extremely disappointed" with the jury's verdict.
"We are confident that Cisco's conduct was appropriate throughout our relationship with XpertUniverse," the Cisco spokesperson wrote. "We do not believe the evidence presented at trial supports this verdict, and as a result, there are a number of issues for the judge to consider that will determine whether this verdict remains intact. If necessary, we will pursue an appeal. "
According to Bloomberg, Brett Schuman, Cisco's lawyer in the case, argued that Cisco was initially interested in a partnership with XpertUniverse but backed out of the deal after discovering the company's research initiatives only led to "a demo" for a future product. Schuman reportedly told the jury that XpertUniverse "never had a product, customers, or revenue."
Lawyers for XpertUniverse described the company in court papers as a "small company with intellectual property as its primary asset." In addition, XpertUniverse makes a Web-based collaboration solution aimed at streamlining customer interactions and helping users locate subject-matter experts across a range of industries.

Electronics are often bought with one thing in mind—how long are they going to last? A new class of electronics might be on its way to reversing this paradigm. New on the technology block are 'transient electronics' that dissolve in water, and importantly, body fluids.
From Use-and-throw to Use-and-Disappear
Researchers at the University of Illinois, Tufts University and Northwestern University have pioneered biocompatible electronics that are both robust and high performance, and also capable of dissolving and thus free of the problems of waste disposal that accompany conventional electronic goods.
The applications of this class of devices could be wide-ranging and important. Starting with medical implants that perform a biological function for a specified duration of time or record biological parameters before being resorbed into the body's system, and moving to environmental monitors that dissolve and reduce environmental impact, these 'transient electronics' have great potential.
How Do They Dissolve?
The key to this invention is the use of ultra-thin silicon sheets which are so thin they easily dissolve. Used together with soluble conductors employing primarily magnesium and magnesium oxide, they offer the raw materials for a wide range of applications. Wireless power coils, radio transmitters and antennae, solar cells and temperature sensors are some devices that have already been constructed.
The engineers have also come up with a way to control the time after which these devices dissolve, by wrapping them in a layer of silk. It is the structure of the silk that determines the rate of dissolution. The timescales for dissolution can range from as small as a few minutes to days, weeks, months or potentially, years, all depending on the silk packaging.

Now that J.J. Abrams' time-traveling prisoner series Alcatraz is locked in for Fridays next fall, let's take a look at the show's abandoned penitentiary setting, which has since been turned into a tourist attraction after closing in 1963.
In case you haven't seen it, here's the decidedly cryptic trailer for Fox's Alcatraz. Hurley and Professor Alan Grant play investigators who are looking into the mystery of a group of prisoners and wardens who disappeared almost 50 years ago...and suddenly materialize in present day. Hopefully the ghost of former inmate Al Capone will appear, perhaps as an evil Man in Black-style apparition.
In any case, the show's setting behooves its enigmatic plot. The real-life Alcatraz may be a destination for school trips nowadays, but its empty cells still exude an unplaceable eeriness. Check out this defunct prison from many angles.

The Data Security Awareness Level 1 e-learning package, which replaces the annual IG training
provided through the IG Training Tool, is now live on
and via the Electronic Staff Record.
An evaluation of the training package is underway until 7 August 2017 and will consider users'
feedback on the resource. All assessments completed during this period of evaluation will still be valid.
We would encourage users to submit their feedback for each session using the feedback icon
that will appear after each session has been accessed.
The results of the evaluation will be applied to future improvements of the training package.
Data Security Standard 3 in the Caldicott 3 Review
requires that all staff undertake appropriate
annual data security training and pass a mandatory test. Therefore, if non-permanent staff have
access to personal information they need to complete annual training.
The training is split into four learning modules with an additional "Welcome module".
Each learning module takes 12-14 minutes to complete and concludes with an assessment.
The modules can be taken in any order and the system will record the assessment pass mark
and issue a certificate on successful completion (a score of 80% or more).
The topics covered in the four modules are:
Level 2 and Level 3 learning material will be released over the coming months.
Self-registration: If you would like to register to access this learning material please go to

I have a very paranoid client who runs two separate networks (one offline, one online) with separate PCs etc.
I have a challenge in that I have written an application for them that will run on the offline network however the network needs to be able to send emails to clients. My idea is to have a one way network connection (like a diode) from the offline server to an online PC that would send the emails.
What is the most effective way to go about this that is semi cost effective? Can I get a one way network card?

Tim McGraw, Dixie Chicks' Calgary Stampede Shows Canceled Due to Flood Damage
Mother nature strikes again. Tim McGraw and the Dixie Chicks were set to perform separate headlining sets at the annual Calgary Stampede, with their shows scheduled between July 10 and 13. The concerts were booked to take place at the Calgary Saddledome, but due to the floods that damaged the venue last month, the shows have been canceled.
Other acts that were confirmed to perform at the Stampede include rock legends Kiss and Canadian pop songstres Carly Rae Jepsen.
The powers-that-be decided that there was no alternative due to the size of the productions that were planned. They tried to devise a solution, but due to the condition of the structure, it wasn't workable.
Stampede CEO Vern Kimball explains, "Unfortunately, we have just determined that the four concerts scheduled in the Saddledome cannot proceed due to the damages the facility suffered during the recent flooding. Given the size of the four shows and that they were all intended for indoor setup with tailored effects and lighting, there was no feasible alternative."
The damage is serious -- so serious that it could create problems for the Oct. 6 start of the hockey season for the NHL's Calgary Flames, which utilize the space as their home arena.
Flames president Ken King addressed the cancellations as well, sharing that "electrical, potable water, sanitation and at the end of the day personal safety would be compromised if we made any attempt even on a restricted basis to afford the building for the use of these concerts. We're regretful that it couldn't happen, but not due to lack of effort."
McGraw tweeted about the cancellations, promising that he will make the date up. He posted: "Thoughts, prayers and love to everyone affected by the flooding in Calgary. Needed 2 postpone our show this week, but it won't keep us away." He then promised, "We'll b back!!"
A new date is yet to be decided.
Since 1912, the Calgary Stampede has been an annual festival boasting rodeo events, music, food, games, agricultural competitions and other forms of entertainment.

Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy LLP has hired Nicholas Spearing as a partner in its antitrust, competition and trade group in London after a 34 year career with Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
Spearing, who has represented companies in transactional behavioural practices and has gained merger clearances for clients including E.ON, RBS, Xstrata, PepsiCo and Live Nation, is Milbank's first dedicated competition partner in its London office.
He specialises in all aspects of competition law and will be working closely with Alexander Rinne, who heads Milbank's Munich competition practice.
"I've been hugely lucky to have spent 34 years as part of a market-leading group at Freshfields, but am now looking forward enormously to building up an antitrust practice from scratch," says Spearing. "Milbank is a great firm with a strong client base and I hope the practice will benefit both from the demands of the firm's existing client base and new clients attracted by my reputation and that of the team."
John Davies, co-head of Freshfields' global antitrust practice in London, says: "We're grateful to Nick for his longstanding and significant contribution to the firm, where he has many good friends. We wish him well as he embarks on this new challenge."
Spearing is listed in The International Who's Who of Competition Lawyers and Economists.

SHIRLEY — Incumbent Constable James Mickel, a former Shirley police officer, won the day in the only contested race in the annual town election with 229 votes. Challenger Patricia Krauchune received 126 votes.
Other incumbents running in Tuesday's election for selectman and School Committee faced no challengers, nor did the sole candidate for town moderator.
There were no ballot questions.
But Town Clerk Amy MacDougall said she anticipated a long night.
Citing open seats on the Planning Board and Recreation Commission, for which nobody took out nomination papers, MacDougall said she expected write-ins, prolonging the process for election workers hand-counting ballots after the polls closed at 8 p.m.
Outside, two candidates stood by their signs on the green as a chilly mist began to fall.
They'd both been there since the polls opened at 7 a.m., according to first-time moderator candidate and former Selectman Enrico Cappucci.
He and Selectman Robert Prescott agreed that being there on Election Day was "the right thing to do," Cappucci said, even though both were running unopposed.
Other results:
Turnout: 397, or 9.9 percent of the town's 4008 registered voters cast ballots.
Selectmen: The sole candidate for Board of Selectmen was incumbent Robert Prescott Jr., who served out an unexpired one-year term before running for a full, three-year term.
Prescott received 298 votes.
Board of Assessors: Paulette Arakelian ran unopposed for re-election to the Board of Assessors. She received 293 votes.
Board of Health: Longtime Board of Health member Donald Farrar, Jr., who is also the town's building inspector and facilities director, received 303 votes to serve another three-year term. He was the only candidate.
Library Trustees: Nobody took out papers to run for two open three-year terms as Library Trustee. Two write-in candidates were chosen to fill the seats: Judy Stanislaw, with 18 votes and Charlie Waite, with 14 votes.
Moderator: Enrico Cappucci, the only candidate for Town Moderator, received 267 votes.
Planning Board: An open five-year term remains unfilled, with a five-way tie of one vote each. The four-year unexpired term goes to incumbent John Bresnahan with 298 votes.
Recreation Commission: Incumbent Linda Cournoyer was the only candidate for a three-year term. She received 319 votes. Keith Begun, with 15 votes, was the write-in winner for a two-year, unexpired term. On another write-in, Begun also received 8 votes to serve a two-year unexpired term.
School Committee: Incumbent Joyce Reischutz retained her seat on the Regional School Committee, with 279 votes.
Sewer Commission: Paul Wilson received 301 votes to serve a three-year term.
War Memorial Trustees: Richard Noll was re-elected to serve a three-year term as Veteran War Memorial Trustee with 303 votes. Allen Flagg received five votes to fill the unexpired three-year veteran's term.
Harold Smith received 307 votes for the non-veteran seat.
The rest were blanks and other write-ins.

Product Information
The PathScan® Total β-Actin Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of β-actin. A β-actin rabbit antibody has been coated onto the microwells. After incubation with cell lysates, β-actin is captured by the coated antibody. Following extensive washing, a pan-actin mouse detection antibody is added to detect the captured β-actin. An anti-mouse IgG, HRP-linked antibody is then used to recognize the bound detection antibody. HRP substrate (TMB) is added to develop color. The magnitude of the absorbance for this developed color is proportional to the quantity of β-actin.
Antibodies in kit are custom formulations specific to kit.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with purified water.
*NOTE: Some PathScan® ELISA Kits may include HRP-Linked Streptavidin in place of HRP-Linked Antibody.
NOTE: Initial color of positive reaction is blue, which changes to yellow upon addition of STOP Solution.
posted November 2013
Protocol Id: 204
CST's PathScan® Total β-Actin Sandwich ELISA Kit detects endogenous levels of β-actin. As shown in Figure 1, β-actin is readily detected in HeLa cells using the PathScan® Total β-Actin Sandwich ELISA Kit. Total levels of β-actin remain unchanged after IFN-α treatment as shown by western analysis. The PathScan® Total β-Actin Sandwich ELISA Kit does not cross-react with α-smooth muscle actin, α-sarcomeric muscle actin or γ-actin. This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.
Human, Mouse, Rat, Hamster, Monkey
Actin, a ubiquitous eukaryotic protein, is the major component of the cytoskeleton. At least six isoforms are known in mammals. Nonmuscle β- and γ-actin, also known as cytoplasmic actin, are predominantly expressed in nonmuscle cells, controlling cell structure and motility (1). α-cardiac and α-skeletal actin are expressed in striated cardiac and skeletal muscles, respectively; two smooth muscle actins, α- and γ-actin, are found primarily in vascular smooth muscle and enteric smooth muscle, respectively. These actin isoforms regulate the contractile potential of muscle cells (1). Actin exists mainly as a fibrous polymer, F-actin. In response to cytoskeletal reorganizing signals during processes such as cytokinesis, endocytosis, or stress, cofilin promotes fragmentation and depolymerization of F-actin, resulting in an increase in the monomeric globular form, G-actin (2). The ARP2/3 complex stabilizes F-actin fragments and promotes formation of new actin filaments (2). Research studies have shown that actin is hyperphosphorylated in primary breast tumors (3). Cleavage of actin under apoptotic conditions has been observed in vitro and in cardiac and skeletal muscle, as shown in research studies (4-6). Actin cleavage by caspase-3 may accelerate ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent muscle proteolysis (6).

From the sound of things, chat might benefit from some extra aide from my dynasty. But then again, while I know the AF forums are quite robust, would chat actually be able to handle the potency of some Asterikan community outreach? This will have to be considered carefully... At the least, perhaps I might use chat's barren wastelands to hone the skills of my troops and weapons engineers? Hmm...

The only known photo of legendary gunfighter Billy the Kid sold for $2.3 million to a billionaire collector.
The tintype image of the gunslinger, who died at age 22, was expected to sell for just $400,000. William Koch, a Florida energy tycoon and collector of Wild West memorabilia, put in the winning bid before gaping onlookers at Brian Lebel's Old West Auction in Denver Saturday night. Koch told Reuters we will "just enjoy" the photo and will allow museums to display it.
"I love the old West," he said. "This is a part of American history."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The metallic photo was taken outside a Fort Sumner, New Mexico, saloon in late 1879 or early 1880. It shows the famous outlaw holding a Winchester rifle with a Colt 45 pistol on his hip. The photograph was owned by the descendants of Dan Dedrick, who was given the photo by its very subject.
Billy the Kid, whose real name may have been Henry McCarty, Henry Antrim or William H. Bonney, escaped the gallows by allegedly gunning down two sheriffs as he was about to be hanged. He was killed in 1881 by Lincoln County Sheriff Pat Garrett, whose subsequent book helped transform a little-known outlaw into a legend.

The Cheney Legacy
This guy just has no self-awareness.
And, our society ... Letting him run around, shouting his mouth off ...
It is almost the level of, say, giving Jeffrey Dahmer airtime on the Food Network.
The background.
You remember this;
On Tuesday, Cheney, serving in his role as president of the Senate, appeared in the chamber for a photo session. A chance meeting with Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (Vt.), the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, became an argument about Cheney's ties to Halliburton Co., an international energy services corporation, and President Bush's judicial nominees. The exchange ended when Cheney offered some crass advice.
"Fuck yourself," said the man who is a heartbeat from the presidency.
Not sure, in classic debating guidelines, that is acceptable, however, for Darth Vader, it is his proudest moment;
Cheney: Telling Leahy to 'f*ck' himself was 'sort of the best thing I ever did.'
On Dennis Miller's radio show today, Cheney suggested that his Leahy f-bomb was "the best thing" he had ever done:
MILLER: By the way, my, I also want to thank you, on the list of things I feel I should thank you for, almost kicking Patrick Leahy's ass. Thank you very much.
CHENEY: Hehehehe.
MILLER: I love that move. One of my favorite stories. Muttering that.
CHENEY: You'd be surprised how many people liked that. That's sort of the best thing I ever did.
I would have thought the mushroom clouds, or the never-happened Prague meeting lies would be up there ...
Or, shooting your friend in the face ...
Or, wait, wait ...
Exposing a covert CIA agent, for the purpose of getting back at her husband, for his exposing of your lies, would have grabbed the top spot ...
Your lackey, Little Scooter, almost went to jail for that one ...
The fact that you said this, with Dennis Miller, perhaps, and we'll have to check into it, the Has-Been Miller was simply auditioning new chimps to be his sidekick.
BarbinMD is shocked, that she actually agrees with Cheney;
Compared to the long list of heinous acts he perpetrated against this country, he's right. Being a total ass is the best thing he's ever done.
While Cheney can pat himself on the back, that using an invective was his greatest accomplishment, we, as a country, will have to wait a bit longer for ours.
That being, seeing this person, on trial, for his War Crimes.
I believe, when it's over, and he's carted off to prison, Cheney, and perhaps Miller, will be "surprised how many people liked that."

Potty Patty 2 in 1 Waterproof Training Pants
This product is being REPLACED with a UNISEX white version - Scotty & Patty 2 in 1 Waterproof Cotton Potty Training Pants
These Potty Patty 2 in 1 WATERPROOF Potty Training Pants are ideal if you are worried about accidents making a big mess and leaking everywhere. They are perfect for the accident phase of potty training and especially when you are out and about with your toddler.
Mom Innovations listened to you and have improved their 2 in 1 training pants. We are extremely pleased with the new and improved 2 in 1 Waterproof Training Pants.
These new and improved 2 in 1 Training Pants are not only a superior product - but an incredible value!
Details on the training pants include
The outer layer is Waterproof PUL fabric. Waterproof "PUL" (Polyurethane Laminate) is a soft, polyester knit fabric laminated, so the training pants have the feel of a soft polyester knit fabric, but are 100% waterproof.
The training pants are padded with 2 layers of super absorbent padding.
The inside layer, which is against your toddler's skin, is 100% knitted cotton. This is the same cotton that is in our potty training pants - padded for girls. The cotton and the padding will absorb the accidents, but will make your toddler uncomfortable and therefore increase her awareness of her excretory function, especially when compared to diapers and pull-ups.
These training pants are designed to fit loosely, so that they can be pulled on and off by your child without any adult supervision. Not only does this increase the chance of getting to the potty on time, but it also makes potty training much more independent.
Suggested use for these waterproof training pants is to contain accidents during daytime potty training.
- Our potty training pants come in a variety of sizes and will fit babies, toddlers and kids up to age 6. (The weight and the size of the child will have an effect on the age limit of our product. For example, children who are 7 and older but have a small build may still fit into our training pants.) Please make sure to use our weight chart as well as our sizing chart to get an accurate fit.
Please note that these are not to be used to replace diapers or pull-ups.
The 2 in 1 Waterproof Training Pants feature:
- Stretchy Lycra bindings around the legs and tummy for a comfortable and customized fit
- Designed to fit loosely so that it is easy for toddlers to pull up and down with ease by themselves
- The waterproof outer layer is made of a PUL fabric which is a soft polyester knit which is both strong and durable.
- Super Absorbent Center layer - to absorb and contain accidents.
- Inner layer is 100% cotton that is soft against a toddler's skin but will feel uncomfortable when wet, so it will encourage your toddler to keep her pants dry!
- Machine Washable
- Machine wash in warm water with like colors.
- Use only non-chlorinated bleach when need.
- Tumble dry on low to medium.
- Do not iron.
- Do not dry clean.
- Reusable cloth training pants

These pants are a reasonable alternative to disposable pullups.
I did have problems with nighttime wetting until I started doubling up.
Until then, my daughter woke up screaming and uncomfortable with her bed, and pjs (tops and bottoms) all wet.
I did get tired of changing bedding and clothes at 1:30 in the morning so I'm glad I discovered the doubling up solution.
These also take a REALLY long time to dry. I have turned them inside out in the dryer with slightly better results.
I bought these for my two daughters to help them with night time training (They are trained for daytime).
I knew there would be accidents so I was enticed by the Waterproof feature.
The top and leg openings are not built right.
Pajamas then sheets get soaked. I have been washing sheets for a week now and have returned to Pull-ups.
Boy was I ripped off!
Potty Training Concepts Response;
While this item can be used for night time training for younger children, we do not recomend them for older children since they have larger bladders, and these are not diapers that can hold multiple wettings.
We do carry a product specifically designed for night time training and full bladder releases.
The Night Time Training pant is specifically designed to move with the child as they sleep and hold more elimination for when a child is less like to notice that they are wet.
Ok...I just got them in the mail about an hour ago. My daughter is 231/2 mo. She weighs right at 30 pounds.
I ordered the size medium, but the legs are a little big, I can easily put a finger space in the leg.
The waist is a tad big. They are super puffy, but my daughter doesn't seem to mind.
I bought them for daycare to train her because she doesn't like the diapers and they won't let her just wear panties.
I hope these work. I'll let you know. When she has an accident in them...that'll be the true test.
I'll write another review then.....I'm wondering, will they shrink a bit in the wash?
I think the're cute... I used cloth diapers for her first 3 1/2 mo. so I know how beneficial a reusable cloth panty can be.
I bought the night time panty too....we'll try it tonight. :)

Potty Training Concept's Response;
We look forward to recieving more of the feed back you have on our product.
We would also like to clarify and assist further customers trying to choose what size to wear.
While we are aware that many of our customers go by the weigh next to the size, we highly recomend the use of our Size Chart for each of our different style training pants .
We added weight due to a high demand but quickly found it to be misleading as children wear their weight in different areas of the body.
Some have thin legs but a muscular torso and vice versa, thus affecting the fit of the pants on the child.
I just received my 6 pack of Potty Training Pants today and I must say that I am very impressed!
I have a 39 months old who is extremely resistant to potty training. We have been at it for 8 months and nothing worked.
No punishments nor rewards did the trick. The toddler underpants didn't contain anything and just freaks her out every time there is a puddle around her feet.
I did that for two weeks and had to give up because the weather was getting cold and we could not go outside like that. Not to mention she goes through all of her clothes in 1 to 2 days.
The disposable pull-ups keeps her too dry so she totally lacks incentive to pee in the potty.
With these Potty Training Pants, she felt the wetness so right after her "accident" she immediately asked to use the potty.
Additionally, it contained about 8 to 12 oz of her urine which was impressive. Nothing leaked or dripped. Leaving all her clothes and my house clean and tidy.
She wore the Night Time Training Pants to sleep tonight. We will see what happens???
Also, due to constipation and based on the pediatric gastroenterologist suggestions, my daughter needs to drink about 60 ounces of water everyday. So every times she goes, it is minimally 8 to 10 oz if not more.
The fact that your Potty Training Pants can contain so much urine says a lot about the quality of the pants. I truly gives it a thumbs up ! Thanks to the inventor !!!
If you don't set unrealistic goals and stay relaxed and patient, infant potty training works well. It's also green, lets you use fewer diapers.
P.S. You should check out Laurie Bourke's DVD Potty Whispering: The Gentle Art of Infant Potty Training, it was great too. She also has a shorter book called Infant Potty Basics: With or Without Diapers-- The Natural Way.If you don't set unrealistic goals and stay relaxed and patient, infant potty training works well.

I hand built a potty chair back in the early 60's for my first child of three . I have kept it in storage and my grand children used it also . It had a urine deflector , but over the years it has failed time .
We used it twice, once with each child. With my heavier child it actually bent & pinched him (45 lbs). With my smaller one (29 lbs) it actually slipped & he hasn't been willing to set on the potty since (nearly 6 weeks).
It is a great idea but poor design.
Cute shorts and great for potty training but for some reason they create a huge bubble inside them in the pool - almost like an extra flotations device - not what we need or where we need it - it was frustrating :(
They don't leak, and feel/look like real underpants.
We use them when we are leaving the house.... "just in case".
PTC Comments: We are so glad that you liked the product. They do not absorb as much as the night time ones because they are made to protect against accidents during day time use only. They were not designed to be used for night time use.
These are great! They kept my daughter's bed dry during her nap. I have not tried them at night yet though.
I like them because she stays dry on the outside (no pee all over the floor) but she can feel the pee on the inside. Better then a pull up for us.
PTC Comment:
We recommend that you consider our Night Time Training Pants for night time use. These are specially made to hold multiple urination's, where the 2 in 1 training pants are made for accidents during the day.
Just want to thank you for carrying larger sizes (waterproof training pants).
I have a beautiful little girl with Down syndrome who is still working on the potty training at a slightly older age. I am unable to find larger sizes for her anywhere. Thank you so much!
The first time I put them one my daughter, she went potty and they leaked.
I ordered the correct size according to the size chart. I don't know maybe it was a fluke? We'll keep trying...
I love the quality of this product!!!
Little Treasure's Daycare family loves them too.
They fit well but do not hold much in. They have leaked every time I have put them on my daughter.
These training pants are great! They are everything I expected them to be.
The water proof lining is helpful for accidents. I purchased these based on all of the great reviews and they are definitely worth the money.
They have already saved me tons of money on pull ups and diapers! Love this brand!
I ordered the potty scottys for my son a few years ago and I absolutely loved them! They wore so well and fit great.
The ones i just ordered for my daughter on the other hand are sized horrible! I tried my sons on her to get an idea of the sizing and they fit perfect at a size small so I ordered her a size medium so that she would grow into them as she weights 31lb and they are so tight I can barely get them on. I assumed that they would fit and took them out of the packages and washed them only to waste my money as she barely fits them. They are not cheap and it is a very disappointing purchase. I refused to buy any other training pant at the store because I was familiar with the high quality of these....never again. :(
PTC Comment: We encourage everyone to please use not just the weight chart that is on our site but the sizing chart as well. Every child is differently shaped so weight chart may not work by itself.
We also strongly recommend that when you receive your orders, that you should try one of the training pants on the child (preferably with some type of underpants on between them and the training pants) to make sure that they fit correctly before washing them. This allows for the opportunity to do an exchange for the correct size.
Potty training a child with special needs is a real challenge....finding training pants to fit a larger child was just the first.
I'm a senior citizen who has A LOT of experience in this field. I have tried the product & I'm placing an order for a dozen more today.
The size runs small because I went by the weight chart and when we tried them on they were too tight.
PTC COMMENT: Along with the weight chart, we offer our parents and grandparents a sizing chart to help assist them in making their decision on sizes a little easier.
Personally I am VERY disappointed in the quality of the towel. It is very thin compared to some I have purchased elsewhere for the other Grandchildren.
Being how, she is from Ethiopia I wanted this Princess as I had already given her a fleece blanket of the same theme. If not for the fact I had her initials put on it, I would have returned it pronto.
I am surprised that Disney would allow their name on such inferior products.
My daughter is 5 and still is not dry at night. I decided to try these because she was growing out of the largest size of pull-ups and the goodnights were the next option. I wanted to find something that was more cost effective and possibly help her "feel" wet. We have been using these for a couple of weeks and they work fantastic. I also purchased the waterproof pull on pants to put over them so her bed does not get wet. This combination works great! Her bed and pj's are dry which was my main concern! These pants wash well and i have not had any problems with them getting dry in the dryer. I do have a front load washing machine, which really spins the water out of the clothes so they are dryer than the conventional washers. I also turn them inside out and they dry in one drying cycle on low heat. For the sizing problems I just went with the measurements and did not worry with the weight on the size chart and they fit her good.
These pants are a great alternative to the pull-ups! I will buy these in the next size if she still isn't ready to stay dry in the night!

Snapple, once the "official beverage of New York City," is being redesigned — inside and out — this year.Now if only Coke and the other people out there would hop on the train. And I'm pretty sure that Obama has nothing to do with their decision, despite his inclusion in the article.
The popular iced teas are losing the high-fructose corn syrup and the dated font. The bottles are becoming more svelte (to better fit into cup holders, which became a force after Snapple iced teas were originally introduced). The labels will also emphasize the green and black tea leaves used to make the drink. The changes are rolling out over the first few months of the year, and they are expected to hit New York in early March, according to Dr Pepper Snapple Group, which is now the owner of the brand.
Snapple, which once defined the genre of specialty tea, now finds itself fading in an increasingly crowded field of competitors. The brand, which passed through many hands before landing as part of Dr Pepper Snapple, went through a round of focus group testing over the last two years.
"Through that work we really found that Snapple had lost of its luster and had been replaced in the minds of consumers by other beverages out there," said Jim Trebilcock, an executive vice president with Dr Pepper Snapple.
(For example, President Obama prefers (the more lightly sweetened) Honest Tea, and the White House is now stocked with his favorite flavors, Black Forest Berry and Green Dragon.)
Real sugar is replacing the corn syrup. (Sugar vs. corn syrup, by the way, is the difference between Mexican and American Coca-Cola.) In some cases, that has actually resulted in a decrease in calories.
The old ingredient list for Lemon Snapple Iced Tea: "water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, tea, natural flavors." Calories: 200. The new ingredient list: "filtered water, sugar, citric acid, tea, natural flavors." Calories: 160.

First and foremost, I want to thank all the wonderful, compassionate people and organizations who volunteered, donated funds, provided food or other goods for our clients. We could not provide the services, nor have the impact we do, without you. Thank you! Special thanks to Hopes Kitchen and Graces Kitchen for providing so many hot dinners for us to serve. And thank you to Axis Integrated Health Care for providing a counselor to our clients.
We have concluded our sixth season and its a good time to review the new programs and policies introduced at the Bridge during the 2011-2012 season. As a direct result of separating sober and intoxicated clients, we experienced a calmer, more hopeful atmosphere this season. While there are always difficult stories and circumstances contributing to homelessness, there is also hope: hope for a safe, warm place to rest; hope for new employment; hope for new housing; hope for a hot meal and a hot shower; hope for support staying clean and sober; hope for others who didnt or wont come in out of the cold.
For the first time, our long-term clients have assigned beds in specific rooms. We had daily and weekly room chores and house chores. For trusted clients we also had additional helping out activities. These included stocking rooms, washing dishes, serving meals or helping with laundry. Our goal was to instill general life skills to those who have forgotten them or were never taught. We sought to instill respect for self and others. The response to these new policies was overwhelming! Clients took pride in their assigned space and worked hard not to lose it or to regain it if they had a little slip-up. They took pride in the cleanliness of the shelter and completing their chores well. They stepped up to help with much more than just the chores needed to keep our home clean and in good repair.
One of my favorite pastimes is tracking how things are changing. I love looking at numbers and figuring out how they change and what they represent. Here is what I discovered this year. The Bridge provided shelter and warm meals for 224 people. We also had 3,611 bed nights and served over 8,200 meals. That is about one-third more than the 2010-2011 season. However, our number of clients was nearly the same as last year, and our nights open were the same as last year. Why the increase in bed nights and meals? Lack of employment is a story we heard repeatedly and frequently. Another common theme was under-employment. We had many clients who worked full time but were unable to bring in financial support to maintain an apartment or house and pay utilities and buy food.
What did this look like on a nightly basis? We started the season out in October of 2011 with a bang. Within the first two weeks, we were averaging 20-plus clients a night, the equivalent of last seasons busiest month. In the heart of winter we had seven days scattered over a couple of weeks when we housed nearly 40 clients a night. We also had a dozen men who spent nearly the entire season here all on the dry-side of the house. Most of them were employed or actively seeking employment, schooling or housing.
Other numbers show that nearly two-thirds (60 percent) of our clients this season maintained sobriety and were housed on the dry side of the house. Only 25 percent of our clients were returning intoxicated individuals; conversely 75 percent of our clients were sober and/or new to the Bridge.
They are people who have run into bad times and need a little help lifting the depression, overcoming the fear and getting back on their feet. Most have lost their jobs, their homes, their families and their transportation. Many have physical and mental health issues for which they need ongoing care. They are people who are deserving of respect and compassion.
We had some exciting success stories this year. The volunteers and staff at the Bridge were able to actively assist 19 individuals over the course of the season to return home, find work, find housing, receive medical care (cancer treatment), get signed up for services (veterans and seniors), get an AA sponsor, learn to use a computer, and best of all, enroll in Pueblo Community College. One individual has completed his hazmat transport certifications and is now working full-time.
All of these individuals have worked hard to improve their circumstances. I am proud to be affiliated with an organization that was so instrumental in helping them get back on their feet. Im eager to see how the numbers will compare next season and fully anticipate continued success. I invite you to volunteer with the Bridge Emergency Shelter on- or off-season or if you just want to have a look around call me at 970-565-9808 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and well set something up.
The biggest lesson I learned this season can be summed up with this quote from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: Treat people as if they are what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being.
Donna Boyd is shelter manager for the Bridge.

The im2BL is a simple header board with two LEDs and two buttons. Its pinout makes it compatible with iMod ports, but as the pins are at 0.1" pitch, it also can be used on any standard prototyping PCB or breadboard.
It has two red LEDs that are connected to iMod ports 2 and 4 (pins 2 and 4 of pin header). The other side of the LEDs are connected to the 0V supply via 1kΩ resistors.
The two buttons are connected to iMod ports 3 and 5 (pins 3 and 5 of pin header). The other side of the buttons are connected to the 0V supply via 1kΩ resistors.
The pin pitch is 0.1" so you can use the module also on any typical prototyping board or breadboard.
For information about the iMod pinout, download this iMod Overview. Find other iMod modules in our iMod Category.
Below the header option selector, you will see checkboxes for adding additional header strips, just in case, as well as socket strips that will mate with the Round Swiss pin header type. If you want to install the socket strips on your prototype so that you can plug in this module with Round Swiss pins, make sure to change and Update the quantity of sockets to 2 during checkout. (A 5-pin socket is not available, but the 6-pin strips can have one pin broken off to turn them into 5-pin sockets.)

Why is it that elected officials are allegedly ignorant? See two separate examples below:
Nashville parks have recently installed cameras because: The homosexual sex is one of the reasons Metro Council Member Michael Craddock said he fought to have the cameras installed in the first place. Craddock said, "It has taken me a year... ...to get these cameras installed where they can use them to deter sexual deviants in the park." (wkrn.com)
New Hampshire passes a law legalizing civil unions for homosexuals. The response of one senator: "Let's just call it what it really is, no sugarcoating," said Republican Sen. Robert Letourneau. "This creates same-sex marriage. There is no right to marriage in either the New Hampshire Constitution or the federal Constitution." He goes on to say, "We don't let blind people drive or felons vote, all for good and obvious reasons," he said. (comcast.net – news – AP)
My response: Give me a break! I mean, really, people, grow up, get a life, and get a hobby!
First, Nashville Metro Council Member Michael Craddock – to the best of my knowledge, homosexuality is no longer listed as a deviant behavior, so, his statement is false. Homosexuality is genetics. It is not a choice. It is not something people 'try'. It is how they were born, just like Mr. Craddock was born heterosexual. He had no choice no his sexuality, just as I had no choice on my sexuality. It's all in the genes!
Second, Senator Robert Letourneau – Are you on drugs? I mean, really, "we don't let blind people drive or felons vote, all for good and obvious reasons." I understand why we don't let blind people drive and felons vote, the reasons both good and obvious, but what does that have to do with civil unions? Can a person make a more illogical statement?
Is there anything more to say on this subject? I don't think so. The logic, the intelligence, or lack thereof, of elected officials making important decisions for our communities, is frightening. I understand that some people choose to believe that homosexuality is a choice. It makes their hatred, their discrimination, their oppression, easier to swallow. It helps them sleep at night by calling someone a deviant, or making lame (blind people don't drive for obvious reasons) statements, that somehow (at least in their minds) make homosexuals somehow less than human.
In the end, perhaps humanity exists in greater measures in homosexuals, in women, in people of color, who have to deal with discrimination and oppression on a daily basis by allegedly intelligent people.
I truly feel sorry for Mr. Craddock and Senator Letourneau. I feel sorry for all the people affected by their alleged ignorance. I feel sorry for the voters who put them in office, thinking they were allegedly intelligent individuals capable of making logical and justified decisions. I feel sorry for the world that is not a better place because of the power these two men hold in their hand, expressing their personal views over the greater views of the public they were elected to serve. For, in the end, they were elected to their respective positions to serve the people, and not themselves. They have failed in that duty.

Fenugreek Trigonella foenum-graecum
A traditional herb and spice from India, most Fenugreek comes from Rajasthan. Fenugreek grows wild as a small leafy shrub but is now cultivated as an annual crop and is classed a legume. It has a distinctive sweet smell and the leaves, seeds and roots of the plant are used.
The name Fenugreek is derived from the Latin for 'Greek Hay' because the herb was added to inferior hay supplies for livestock to prevent it from deteriorating.
Its digestive properties come into their own in After Dinner and Natural Balance capsules.

I have a quick little soup for you today and it'll take me longer to tell you about it than it will for you to make it. So gather round for a brief chat and then grab your blender and a handful of ingredients and get going.
It's a chilled soup – you might even be tempted to call it a gazpacho, but I'd advise against it because it's unbelievable creamy. While I haven't (yet) posted a true tomato and cucumber gazpacho on the site, you might want to check out salmorejo, a Spanish tomato soup I first tried in Seville, or cucumber mint gazpacho adapted from Ten Tables in Provincetown.
But back to today's recipe. I came across it when Rivka mentioned that it was time for one of her oft-repeated cold summer soups. As I've been forced to close my window shades from dusk until dawn when I'm not home and crank up the air conditioning while I sleep, it's a welcome reprieve with a some jalapeño heat – but not enough to get you sweating again – requiring the same amount of effort as cleaning your blender when you're done.
It does greatly benefit from a little bit of crunch to balance out the creaminess, so I toasted up some lavash chips. The lavash itself has a little story, one that left me and my colleagues in a fit of giggles. Friday morning, I was greeted in the restaurant office by the following note perched upon a 4-inch stack of wraps, tortillas, and lavash.
A guest last night left this for you: endless possibilities… Some guests palm a hundred for a table. Others shower you in flatbread, I guess.
The prior evening, a bakery owner had stopped in for dinner and when we were chatting about his work, he said he'd leave me a few samples from his bakery. I schlepped the bread home, toasted it up with a spray of olive oil and a sprinkle of fleur de sel, and served it next to the soup. Luckily I have enough lavash to for an entire summer's worth of chilled soup.
Cucumber Avocado Soup
Adapted from Not Derby Pie's recipe. This is one of those recipes where you barely chop the ingredients, throw them into a blender, and press a button. One minute later, maybe two, you have soup. It is quite thick and creamy – if you'd like, add additional cucumbers and extra water to thin it out a bit. Top with something crunchy for a little texture – I used toasted lavash, but pita or tortilla chips would be great too.
Update 6/23/14: To thin the soup out a bit, I doubled the cucumbers, and then added a bit extra salt. Excellent!
Makes approximately 6 cups
– 3 avocados, preferably Hass, halved and roughly chopped
– 3/4 lb seedless cucumbers (I used 5 large Persian cucumbers), roughly chopped
– 2 pickled jarred jalapeño peppers, chopped (with seeds), more to taste
– 1 1/4 cup yogurt (I used Greek; if you use regular yogurt, the soup might be a little bit thinner – not necessarily a bad thing in my book)
– 20 fresh chives, roughly chopped
– 20 mint leaves
– 2 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
– salt and pepper to taste
Blend. Combine all ingredients in a blender, starting with half of the jalapeño and reserving 4-5 sprigs chives. Add 1/4 cup water to get the blending started, then blend on medium until completely smooth. Taste, and add salt, pepper, and more jalapeno to taste. Thin out with extra water to get the texture that you want.
Chill. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Ladle. Fill bowls and garnish with chives, minced jalapeño, and/or mint. Serve with something crunchy.
