Seems to have been a single driver crash affecting only the gasoline tanker. Other extenuating circumstances include the generally terrible condition of California freeways. This particular infrastructure element dates back to before the freeway era, when Cal Trans built flyovers and moved US-40 to be a bypass away from San Pablo Avenue/ Old US 40. Prior to that, the intersection of West Grand Avenue (old US-50) and San Pablo (Old US-40) was an utter nightmare during commute hours. This work was done right after WW2. There was an upgrade done when US-40 was upgraded to I-80 and when I-580 bypassed old US-50. That upgrade tied in a somewhat upgraded old Route 17. During the 1970s and early 80s, when Route 17 was upgraded to I-880, then more upgrades then again after the '89 quake. But the core, like the spiritual core of California, had gotten rotten. All it took was a tanker fire to bring it down. Was there grey terror involved? We shall see if there is any thing to suspect or it was a mere instance of bad luck and decaying infrastructure.

Video, setup led to arrest of 6 accused of Ft. Dix attack plot
May 8, 2007
By JOHN SHIFFMAN
CAMDEN, N.J. The FBI arrested six people Monday night, including five in Cherry Hill, N.J., for an alleged plot to kill soldiers at Ft. Dix, several federal officials said.
If you want to do anything here, there is Ft. Dix and I dont want to exaggerate, and I assure that you can hit an American base very easily, one of the men told an FBI informant, according to the FBI. You take a map and draw it and then you calculate that there are areas where there are 100 to 200 invididuals ...
When you got a military base, you need mortars and RPGs, the man allegedly said.
My intent is to hit a heavy concentration of soldiers, the man on the tape said. You hit four, five or six Humvees and light the whole place up.
Greg Reinhert, a Justice Department spokesman in Camden, N.J., described the six as Islamic radicals ... who were involved in a plot to kill U.S. soldiers at Ft. Dix in New Jersey.

The above link has all of the latest information which I personally collected in an on-the-scene investigation, as well as the FBI Criminal Complaint in .pdf format; my interview this morning on WIBG 1020 with Rick Brancadora and the news was breaking nationally. For those who live in the Houston Texas area I just got off the phone from a live interview with Chris Baker at KTRH 740 AM. The podcast of hour 2 will go up shortly on this page:
KTRH ON DEMAND: Chris Baker Podcasts
Back to the .pdf criminal complaint. Within the document are truly exceptional details and insight on exactly how islamist terror cells plan, train and conduct their affairs for months and months prior to actually launching a strike. These terrorists pattenerned their jihadi plans specifically after Al Qaeda templates - and we all know that Ayman al-Zawahiri is an FSB agent of influence at the very top of the AQ chain-of-command.
This groups intent was to strike the "cantonment area" of Ft. Dix.
"f. On or about November 28, 2006, SERDAR TATAR acquired a map of the United States Army base at Fort Dix, New Jersey, labeled "Cantonment Area Fort Dix, NJ" to be distributed to others."
Reference: http://www.atsdr.cdc...dix/for_p1.html
"The Cantonment Area occupies approximately one-third of the installation. A smaller, undeveloped area southeast of the Cantonment Area is the Training Area. The undeveloped eastern two-thirds of the installation are designated the Range and Impact Area. McGuire Air Force Base borders the installation to the north and lies between the Cantonment and the Range and Impact Areas."
The "Cantonment Area" is the area in the above map where the line from Fort Dix terminates, the western most area of Ft. Dix.. Smack dab in the center of this area. The cantonment area has three access gates. The Wrightstown Gate is the western most. To the east on Texas Avenue is an access gate to McGuire AFB and further down is the Browns Mills (Texas Avenue) Gate.
Assaulting soldiers in the cantonment area with M-16', AK-47's and RPG's would have been a total slaughter. There are no armed soldiers anywhere in the Cantonment Area. The post Class Six (Conveinence/Liquor) and Dunkin' Donuts store is located here, directly adjacent to the post gas station and a Burger King. Nearby is the PX and Commissary. These terrorists were going to slaughter anyone and every one in their path.
Their homes were in urban America, a/k/a Cherry Hill NJ. Other terrorists of this type are in a neighborhood near you. That is an absolute certainty. Sulejman Talovic lived in such a neighborhood. So did Mohammed Atta and the 9/11 highjackers. So did Hussein al-Husseini, both before and afterwards the 1995 OKC bombing - recently he went underground - no longer at his Bostan, MA urban residence.
Back to this interdicted plot. 22-year old [/u][/i][/b] was THE long-range area targets reconnaissance man for this cell. He reconned Ft. Monmouth, Lakehurst, Earle NAVWEPSTA and other area facilities. 27-year old Serdar TATAR was the pizza delivery man, and thus he the on-post reconnaissance man. That's close-up, real-time, inside the perimeter reconnaissance. The pizza-reconn terrorist TATAR knew the exact location of the target and briefed other member of the cell with the acquired map of the Ft. Dix cantonment area. The three Albanian brothers of the Duka family are all illegally in the US according to the criminal complaint.
Now, look at this from Tony Snow...
"White House spokesman Tony Snow said Tuesday there is "no direct evidence" that the men have ties to international terrorism. "They are not charged with being members of an international terrorism organization," Snow said. "At least at this point, there is no evidence that they received direction from international terror organizations." Asked if the men had any ties to al-Qaida, Snow referred questions to the FBI and the U.S. attorney, but said those officials "seem to indicate that there is no direct evidence of a foreign terrorist tie."
"U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., said... they also watched Osama bin Laden videos."
No ties to al-Qaida?
WHO CARES if they were rank and file AQ or not?!?!
The now infamous "Dix Six" were an active cell of Islamofascist insurgents in the urban American heartland who originated in the muslim nations of Albania, Turkey and Jordan. Period.
Posted 08 May 2007 - 08:31 PM
Who can you trust if you can't trust the pizza man! If some of them are willing to wage jihad, how many spit in my pizza!
All joking aside, nice work to those that reported this behavior that ended up as a law enforcement victory.
A couple of years ago a colleque of mine at Monmouth reported a muslim fellow casing the area beyond the fence line with a camera...

8 May 2007 UPDATE 9:30 PM: Based upon open source (OSINT) reporting the six arrests made last night by federal law enforcement officers constitutes only a partial apprehension of the active Al Qaeda-inspired terrorist cell. This information is derived from the video the terrorists had attempted to get converted into a DVD for further distribution. Videographic details within the recording reveal there were a total of 10 jihadists live-firing assault weapons, calling for jihad along with the traditional "allah hu akhbar" refrain. A remainder of at least 4 members of the cell are therefore still-at-large and, also based upon the video evidence of assault weapons training, must be considered heavily armed and extremely dangerous. Additionally other sources indicate that as many as 6 other individuals who acted in support roles for this cell also remain at-large. It must also be surmised that ongoing interrogations of the 6 arrested terrorists by federal law enforcement is focused upon locating the remnant cell members. Additionally, the cell members may all have known the location of the video store. That still unidentified business and its employees can be assessed be at great risk of potential terrorist retribution.
The suburban nature of this terror plot has been a continual focus of reporting of the Northeast Intelligence Netork over the past several years. It cannot be over-emphasized as it proves beyond any doubt that those who claim we engage in "fear mongering" or other such nonsense simply are clueless in the statements they habitually make.
These terrorists homes are in urban America. Places like Cherry Hill, New Jersey and YourTown, USA. Other terrorists of this exact same type are living in a neighborhood somewhere in suburban or urban America, perhaps as the people of Cherry Hill learned this morning they may be living near or literally across the street from your own home. Sulejman Talovic lived in such a neighborhood, as did John Muhammed (aka the "DC Sniper"). So did Mohammed Atta and the 9/11 highjackers. So did Hussein al-Husseini, both before and in the aftermath the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. He recently disappeared and is no longer to be found at his Boston, MA suburban residence imaged directly below.
Where is Hussein al-Hussaini?

This is madness. U.S Armed Forces should be able to carry a weapon off duty or on duty.
Throw out the foolish P.C ideas that never worked and never will, before more of us get killed!
Posted 08 May 2007 - 09:05 PM
I admit that I don't know all the details on this particular bust, but it appears that these guys didn't even get passed the local video store. They were identified and now nabbed looooong before gaining the capability to launch the kind of attack the media would have us believe was imminent.
They were identified over a year ago and still hadn't purchased much more than a few semi-automatics and some paint guns.... Sounds like I'm better armed than these guys were. I'm far more worried about the bad guys that are still under the radar plotting something more sinister than 911... The same types that live in suburban America but are far more sophisticated.
Food for thought.

Still... there are armed cell members and half a dozen supporters still at large in the Cherry Hill-Ft. Dix region.
Posted 08 May 2007 - 09:52 PM
Considering your apparant background, you know as well as I do that these guys were brought down because of their intention to buy what is considered illegal weapons. The FBI knew their MO over a year ago and found it compelling enough to find a way to bring them down in the off chance they actually might score the weapons they were after. Buying those weapons on the black market is far more riskier than bomb making in the garage and yet they still fell for it.
The point is-- these guys were bad news but they were still amatures. They were played like flutes by LE since April and that is exactly what the affidavit says. They needed to be taken down and LE did exactly what it takes to make that happen! Outstanding!!
We may one day get hit hard-- but not without our guys taking down plenty of bad guys first. We scored another point against losers and killers today!

The Reality of the "Ft. Dix Six"
By Sean Osborne, Associate Director, Military Affairs
As a civilian contractor employee based at the US Army PEO C3T Northeast Regional Response Center, Ft. Dix, New Jersey, I want to make clear the specifics I have determined to be true concerning the radical islamist cell now exposed by the diligent work of federal law enforcement.
1. The now infamous "Ft. Dix Six" was actually a cell of 10 Al Qaeda jihadists-in-training.
2. The members of this cell were specifically inspired by Osama bin Laden and swore an oath to the Al Qaeda vision of jihad against the United States of America. Period. The cell members were in possession of numerous Al Qaeda media and jihad training products.
3. Their specific intent was to mimic Al Qaeda ambush tactics executed against US troops in Iraq and apply those tactics here in my home state of New Jersey, ultimately resolving their long-term planning to a target environment in which I work in on a daily basis - the cantonment area of Ft. Dix.
These statements are my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions, positions, policies, or sentiments of the United States Army, the Department of Defense, or any branch or variations thereof.

Posted 09 May 2007 - 06:29 AM
you know as well as I do that these guys were brought down because of their intention to buy what is considered illegal weapons.
This cell - all 10 of them - are seen in the January 2006 video they made. This is before the FBI knew of their existence. The vieo details their wearing combat fatigues, firing fully-automatic AK's with 30-round clips on the grounds of the Gouldsboro, PA shooting range. That activity was immediately reported to federal law enforcement, and began the process of federal scrutiny. The video tape itself was clinching documentary evidence that the reports coming from Gouldsboro were accurate.
The tape proves this cell was already in possession of a specific number of fully automatic assault weapons. The additional purchases of handguns, shot guns and semi-auto assault weapons in January 2007 was to fully equip their intended assault team. They conducted tactical training based upon Al Qaeda training materials with these weapons during February and March 2007 in Cherry Hill, NJ. Federal LE alllowed this activity to continue, keeping the primes under direct surveillance.
The final attempted purchase in April 2007 of fully auto AK-47's, M-16's and additional handguns was the trigger for the arrest warrants to be issued. However, at any time this cell could have executed their strike at Dix with the weapons they possessed - and therein lies my only beef with federal law enforcement - no heads up was issued to force protection officers at any installation - Dix, Monmouth, Lakehurst, etc - which would have resulted in advisories to military and civilian employees for increased vigilence or raising the force protection level from A+ to Bravo as it now is and has been since the arrests were made.
The main gate at Ft. Dix yesterday was a massive potential killing zone with hundreds of unarmed members of the Dix workforce backed-up in a traffic gridlock - with four heavily armed cell members still at-large.
Kudo's to the FBI and other federal LE for their diligent work. In hindsight they did made some tactical mistakes which, hopefully, will be used as learning tools.
Posted 09 May 2007 - 09:35 AM
Finally, I think the reason the alert didnt go out before the arrests is because, according to the complaint, the bad guys were under constant surveillance. The so called CW-1 informant was also with these guys much of the time. Also, according to the complaint, the bad guys never made a specific target date. In fact they were probably months away from attacking you know as well as I do that raising a security level when potential problems are not imminent leads to complacency.
Posted 09 May 2007 - 12:45 PM
Posted 09 May 2007 - 01:18 PM
There is some discrepancy with the reporting because according to the affidavit, as of March, 2007 these guys only had five guns in total and NONE of them were AK 47s. It is recorded fact that the guns they had included:
1 .357 handgun
1 9mm berretta handgun
1 SKS semi auto rifle
1 Berretta Storm semi-auto rifle
1 Mossberg 12 guage shotgun
What is even more odd is that as of March 2007 the perps were talking about getting AK 47s and used language indicating they had not actually used AKs since before coming to America....
It turns out it was their attempt to purchase AK 47s, M16s, and RPGs that ended up getting them busted.

Who can you trust if you can't trust the pizza man! If some of them are willing to wage jihad, how many spit in my pizza!
Always, always, always.....order pizza from places with Italian names. For example...Gino's, Tony's, Alberto's, Johnny's, etc. Always check to make sure the American and Italian flags are hung proudly in or around the premises. Maps of Italy and Italian World Cup Soccer Team photos on the walls mean that you will have yourself a damn good pizza. ES's tip of the day.
These guys are pretty young and not in truly professional positions. Which is why I am very concerned.
There may be higher ups, also local to the area, who are guys in their 40s or 50s, who have "legends" as managers, engineers, bankers, etc.
Some may recall this. One of the planners of 9/11 (I can't recall the name) was actually the CEO of a high tech firm here in the Bay Area a few years prior.
Indeed, there are not only young (and in this case, stupid) guns right where you and I may be, in the midst of Hometown USA, but also, there are older, even more dangerous people, who may command entire networks of cells, living in a stately home near you.
BM....I wonder if these guys were prodded by a more sinister group as sort of a misdirection. Waste FBI and other LEO's time and resources while the real jihadis sneak around in their tanker trucks or a cab with a suitcase nuke. Just my thoughts.
Posted 09 May 2007 - 02:04 PM
At first I thought your misdirection idea was spot on but... if they were intentionally trying to mislead law enforcement, why would they get themselves arrested by trying to buy AK 47s and such? Seems like they'd keep trying to mislead LE without actually ever committing a real crime....
The sinister story in all this is that how many other homegrown bad guys are there out there planning other such events?

Posted 09 May 2007 - 05:10 PM
They were firing semi-automatic AK47s at that range and the bad guys only had three of them that they shared. According to OSINT
The originating source was one or more of the eyewitnesses who were some distance from the 10 jihadi's practicing at Gouldsboro in January 2006. The high capacity multi-round banana clips are a fact. The semi-automatic nature is assumed since no one reported full auto firing. I can't wait for this video to be released in its entirety.
Therefore, given the semi-auto nature of the AK's the following is a high-probability hypothesis:
At any time had any three of this Al-Qaeda-inspired and allegiant cell chosen to act surreptitiously or unbeknownst to the highly suspected informants during any given lunch hour neither of the two DoD policemen at the Ft. Dix Wrightown Gate would've stood a chance in a million of repelling such an assault. Thereafter military and civilian personnel in the cantonment area would have been slaughtered enmasse in short order as those areas are a mere two minute jog from the Wrightstown Gate.[/i] We definitely dodged many bullets here and those bullets would been fired point blank.
Finally, I think the reason the alert didnt go out before the arrests is because, according to the complaint, the bad guys were under constant surveillance.
It remains to be proven that the federal surveillance was effectively 24/7/365.
The so called CW-1 informant was also with these guys much of the time. Also, according to the complaint, the bad guys never made a specific target date.
Of course they didn't tell him that. They didn't trust him, they believed he was a federal agent. CW-1 is lucky to be alive. And at least on primary cell member told him point blank it did not matter if he (CW-1) was an FBI informant because they would launch the attack irregardless.
In fact they were probably months away from attacking
I'm sorry, but that's not an established fact. The fact and I understand it from joint terrorism task force sources is that the FBI decided to make the arrests because of specifics which have not been released, were not a part of the criminal complaint or were specifically redacted from it prior to approval given the US Attorney. This is due to the high probability that the under-suspicion informants were not privy to all operational details of the executable plan.

In Every Good Girl, There is a Bad Girl Dying to Get Undressed4 Reviews
Pheobe and her bestfriends move to Chicago from Newfoundland to Jumpstart their career in the music industry. What Happens when Pete Wentz signs them to Decaydance, and Pheobe starts to have these ...
"Shh," Jade said."don't wake her up."
Pheobe stirred on the couch.
"She's waking up," whispered Sarah.
Pheobe was fully awake now, but still had her eye's tightly shut, annoyed that her dream was disturbed by people gawking over her.
"She's gone back to sleep," said a male voice.
Pheobe's eye's shot open to see Tabby, Sarah, Jade, Joe, Andy, and Patrick in the living room surrounding her.
"Morning Sweetheart," Patrick said smiling.
"Morning?" Pheobe questioned.
"Yeah, it's monday morning," Tabby said."You fell asleep on the couch yesterday-."
Joe cut her off mid-sentence:
"And you were to cute to wake up, with your drool and all, you know. So we left you there and went out, after we all came back you were still there so we didn't bother you."
"Thanks," Pheobe said sitting up and felt her brain pound against her skull.
She got up and walked into the kitchen and started digging through the cupboarbs for Tylenol. After spending 15 minutes looking for them, she thought it was suffice to say that she wasn't going to find any, so she surrendered to the stairs and climbed them to her room.
Picking out a plain black t-shirt and torn blue jeans, grabbed a towel and walked into the divided bathroom. She set the water, undressed and climbed in, she let the hot water run down her slender figure. The pain in her head slowly fading. She beganm to wash herself and massaged the shampoo through her hair.
She turned off the water, got out and dried off. While getting dressed she realized that she had forgotten a bra, so she walked back into her room to only see Pete sitting on her bed waiting for her to come out.
"Pete!" she screamed and put the towel around her nude upper body as fast as possible.
"Pheobe, what are you doing!?" Pete asked startled by Pheobe's entrance.
"I was trying to get dressed!"
"I'm so sorry," Pete said.
Pheobe just stood there, watching Pete sit there and look at her half naked body.
"Well?" she asked.
"Well what?" Pete asked.
"Are you going to let me get dressed?"
"I'm not stopping you," Pete smirked and laid back on Pheobe's bed, arms behind his head.
"Okay, Okay i'm going," Pete said crawling off her bed and walking through the door.
Pheobe took off her towel, found a bra, and began to get dressed. When the room door opened again and Pete poked his head in and said:
"I forgot my cell."
Pheobe screamed and grabbed the towel again.
"Out," she yelled pointing at the door.
Pheobe walked down the stairs into the living room where Pete had joined the rest of the "Brady Bunch."
"So how are they, uh, I mean you?" Pete asked and laughed.
Pheobe grabbed a pillow from Tabby's hands and threw it at him.
"Eh," he yelled."Why?"
He held up the pillow.
Pheobe gave him an innocent look and said:
"You're lucky that's all you got."
Pete pouted and sank into the couch.
Joe laughed and asked:
"Okay, what happened?"
"To make a not so long story even shorter, Pete saw me naked," Pheobe explained.
"I'm not complaining," Pete said."I didn't hate it."
Everyone started laughing except for Pheobe.
"Next time Pete, when you want to come in. Ask for permission first," Pheobe said sternly.
"Sure thing sweetheart,"Pete said."But I might accidentlycough on cough purpose cough forget."
"What? I'll at least try," he said innocently.
Pheobe and Pete began to argue. Everyone sat there and wathed until, Andy grew tired of it and volunteered to go get some movies for a blockbuster night. Everyone agreed and Tabby went with him. Joe and Jade went to the store to get junk food and drinks. Sarah and Patrick went to Patrick's haouse to get his DVD Player. Leaving Pete and Pheobe to pop the popcorn.
Pheobe was sitting on the counter next to the microwave.
"Pheobbs where is your butter?" Pete called from the fridge.
"Behind the milk."
Pete walked over to the oven, butter in hand and put some in the pot, to melt for the popcorn.
"Where did you run off to yesterday?" Pheobe asked curiously.
Pete looked up at Pheobe and then the microwave beeped singling that the popcorn was done. Pete took it out ignoring heer question and avoiding eye contact with her, he poured the butter on the popcorn.
Pheobe and Pete walked into the living room to find Patrik hooking up the DVD Player, Tabby and Andy walking in through the door with the movies, and Joe and Jade making out on the sofa.
"They don't waste no time," Pheobe said and Jade flipped her off.
When Patrick finally accomplished is task in hooking up the DVD Player they all sat down.
Patrick and Sarah on the floor with the popcorn, Andy, Tabby, Jade and Joe on the sofa, and Pheobe and Pete were left with the Loveseat.
Pheobe sat down next to Pete and he put his arm around her shoulder.
"Might as well get comfy," he said and made Pheobe lean against him. Which Pheobe obeyed without objecting.
Pete whispered into Pheobe's ear:
"You know what happened earlier?"
Pheobe nodded.
"You know you liked it."
Pheobe looked at Pete Wide eyed, she couldn't believe what Pete was saying to her.
"Really?" she replied.
"Yeah, didn't you know that in every good girl, there is a bad girl dying to get undressed?"
"Whoever said that I was a good girl?" Pheobe grinned.
Pete smiled:
"Man, she's everything that I...."

The Opportunities of Summer
The Opportunities of Summer
Summertime is just around the corner and with it comes a different kind of opportunity in children's ministry. It has been a push in recent years for children's pastors to remind parents that they are the primary spiritual leaders of their children. Conferences and workshops have told us to basically tell the parents, "The church is here to support and encourage you, but this is really your job." While this is true, Deuteronomy 6.6-9 gives parents the directive "…make sure your children learn"; this has led children's leaders to feel confused in their roles and left parents overwhelmed. In my experience parents want to lead their children spiritually, but may feel inadequate and not know where to begin. Here we, as children's ministry leaders, find a new way to serve families and summer is a great time to help families take those first steps.
If your church is like mine, attendance will be a roller coaster during the summer months with people on vacation, taking weekend trips to the lake, and generally finding other things to do on beautiful days. Rather than taking on a "woe is me" attitude because of an occasional dip in attendance, provide parents with tools and resources to help them gain confidence in having spiritual discussions with their children. Compile an email list of families in your children's ministry department and send a weekly reminder of the last Sunday's lesson. Include the scripture, a few open-ended questions, a simple hands-on activity, and a prayer starter. Create a summer Family Fun Devotion guide based on ten favorite Bible stories (or little known stories, might be the way to go). Encourage families to pick a verse to learn that relates to their vacation and to make it the theme for the week. Assemble fun "get to know you" style questions for families to keep in their cars and discuss while traveling. Further keep families connected by inviting them to keep you up-to-date with the discussions that happen in their families. Let them know you are there to help them with questions the kids pop on them and encourage on-going conversation.
When back-to school time rolls around and life returns to normal, welcome families with open arms. They will come to church proud of how their family has grown and you can know that you have equipped them in raising people of God.

Key Biomechanical Considerations In Addressing The Forefoot Component
As stated in the Root text, "With the subtalar joint in its neutral position, and with the forefoot pronated to its maximum about both axes of the midtarsal joint, the plantar plane of the forefoot parallels the plantar plane of the rearfoot. In this position, the forefoot is locked upon the rearfoot so as to resist any further motion of the forefoot in response to any dorsiflexion or eversion forces directed against the planter surface of the forefoot by ground reaction."9
Plantarly loading the lateral column of the foot under or near the fourth and fifth metatarsal heads while dorsiflexing the forefoot is the accepted technique for "locking" the midtarsal joint while the subtalar joint is in the neutral position. The importance of this positioning is that the forefoot is dorsiflexed while it is pronated. It is important when utilizing this technique not to overload the lateral column, which can cause the subtalar joint to pronate and then allow the midtarsal joint to dorsiflex and abduct in compensation.
In a study comparing practitioner variability when utilizing subtalar neutral position casting of the foot, the researchers took an interesting step. Researchers looked at casts taken in a neutral subtalar joint position with both the midtarsal joint pronated and supinated about the long axis to decide if this made a difference in the variability of the forefoot to rearfoot relationship.10
The same practitioner did all the casting for this portion of the study. The practitioner did five casts with the midtarsal joint pronated and utilized an adductory force to the lateral forefoot. The practitioner also did five casts with the midtarsal joint supinated and utilized an abductory force to the lateral forefoot. According to their cast assessment, the researchers found this did not make any significant difference in the repeatability of the casts or in the comparison of the forefoot to rearfoot relationship.10
The study of the midtarsal joint, midfoot and forefoot function has been a focus of much research over the past few years. Forefoot positioning is very important when it comes to non-weightbearing neutral position casting techniques, especially in reference to the "maximally" pronated midtarsal joint of the foot, the so-called "locking" of the midtarsal joint and the reduction of forefoot supinatus via plantarflexion and adduction of the medial column of the foot.11
Some of the studies evaluating the forefoot and midfoot joint ranges of motion have found a significant amount of range of motion available within the sagittal plane between the midtarsal bones of the cuboid and the fourth and fifth metatarsal bases, and the navicular, cuneiforms and the metatarsal bases one through three.12-14 Many practitioners regularly cast out the supinatus found within the medial column of the foot.11 This technique consists of plantarflexing and adducting or pronating the medial column or first ray of the foot to reduce the soft tissue supination component, which often mimics a forefoot varus.
A Guide To Casting Technique
For the last five years, I have used one technique for partial weightbearing scanning or casting. This consists of having the patient place the foot on the scanner with the hip, knee and ankle joint all at 90 degrees. One then adducts or abducts the knee, which pronates and supinates the foot respectively while the foot remains fixed on the flat surface of a digital scanner.
The practitioner then seeks to find the subtalar neutral position by either palpating the talar head or assessing the equalization of pressures between loading the dorsal aspect of the first and fifth metatarsal heads against the scanner. The foot at this point is being loaded both from a plantar direction via the scanner surface and via gravity and the weight of the patient's leg and foot against the scanner. During the actual scan of the foot, the metatarsal heads of the first and fifth metatarsals are lightly to moderately loaded at their dorsal surfaces. Due to this positioning, one can consider the forefoot to be dorsiflexed while the ankle is at 90 degrees.

Lunchtime Tasting Menu at Pascal Aussignac's Club Gascon
We sent Great British Chefs guest blogger, Essex Eating, along to Pascal Aussignac's award winning Club Gascon in the heart of London's City to sample the multi coursed Tasting Menu for lunch. See how our Essex lad worked his way through each course amongst the city slickers.
Photography & Review by Essex Eating
Club Gascon is a restaurant I've wanted to eat at for quite some time. I worked in the Smithfields area for years, and I often walked past, stopping, intrigued to read the menu displayed outside, and then ambling off back to the office.
If I'm honest, I think I found it a little bit intimidating. The restaurant is housed in a very grand building. The classically attired front of house and waiting staff gathered around the booking desk near the door are just a little off putting to 'window shoppers' like me, trying to peer past them into the restaurant within. The menu itself was a little frightening to a younger me too, passionately French but also full of interesting, expensive ingredients and somewhat experimental flavour combinations. To my mind this was posh, grown up dining for city slickers spanking those lunchtime expense accounts. I just wasn't ready.
Last week, older, grizzled, a veteran of a thousand amuses bouche and with an expanding waistline to prove it, I returned with a confident swagger to Chef Pascal Aussignac's Michelin starred restaurant. I was there to review lunch for the Great British Chefs' blog and far from being intimidated; this time around I was excited.
For research, I'd been flicking through Pascal's recipe book, Cuisinier Gascon and a lot of the ingredients and pairings were unusual to say the least. Despite being fiercely proud of Gascony and its classic food heritage, the book also features among other things, a tomato coulis with Fishermans Friends as an ingredient and white asparagus with treacle foam. What with the book along with studying the current restaurant menu, I'd come to the conclusion that the food being served here, in my experience, is unlike anything else in London. And I don't know about you, but for me, that's an exciting thought.
Taking a seat, the restaurant was smaller and more intimate than I imagined, but unusually, when compared to other Michelin 'temples to fine dining' touches of real character were evident throughout. The bar, adorned with the most incredible and riotous flower arrangement I'd ever seen, was (I was informed by the waiter) put together by Chef Pascal Aussignac himself. Apparently, he does all the restaurant's flowers. It's his second great passion after cooking.
Video of Pascal Aussignac's flower arranging & cookery style! - Great British Chefs.
I also have to mention the very unusual tableware. Handmade in Gascony, it was absolutely beautiful to look at and I had to fight down a very strong ingrained Essex urge to 'half-inch' just a little bit.
Casting my eye around the restaurant, as you'd expect in the city at lunchtime, my fellow diners were a mostly well-heeled, business suited crowd, but not exclusively so. I didn't for one second feel out of place or uncomfortable in my flip-flops, verging-on-the-obscenely-tight-cycling-shorts and Hawaiian shirt.
Just kidding.
There are various menu options at lunchtime. I just had to go for the tasting menu priced at £55, although the 'Dejeuner Club' menu (£25 for 3 courses) definitely caught my eye. In actual fact, I might pop back at some point and try that too because it looks like a complete bargain.
A jug containing a ridiculously tall Parmesan crisp was deposited on my table. I couldn't help but wonder how many of these get broken as they're brought from the kitchen. Nevertheless it was delicious.
Next, a slate containing a curious amuse selection. Due to the combination of the almost impenetrable French accents of the waiters and my rubbish hearing I wasn't entirely sure what I was eating until later. The Smoked Chestnut veloute was superb, I could have done with a bit more of this. The Peanut ice cream with crispy Pearl Barley was also nice, but I'm not sure the sweetness worked against so many savoury offerings. The Nogoshi Pear dipped in Hazelnut Oil was refreshing, but a bit lost on me. I didn't really get the Hickory Jelly and Chestnut Powder at all. I thought it just a bit too subtle.
But then everything changed. The most amazing bread I've eaten for ages. Served with smoked butter. The sourdough in particular was bloody amazing, light but with an incredible crust and an almost smoky flavour. It was phenomenal.
Almost as equally amazing, the Brioche rolls had a perfect crisp shell like exterior and almost sweet cloud like texture inside. I could have happily sat there all day eating the bread to be honest.
Sea Urchin veloute, Cauliflower Pulp & Crisps arrived, and bloody hell; it was one beautiful looking plate of food. The waiter, having obviously sized me up straightaway, told me not to eat the decorative grass. The veloute was rather lovely, light, creamy and quite intense. I wasn't entirely sure about the accompanying crisps. They looked amazing, but as is often the case with fine dining, I wasn't entirely sure how I should eat them. Dunk them in my veloute? Munch them like giant luxury Quavers covering the table in debris? Combine the different colours to make new flavours? God knows. I took to breaking off pieces carefully and nibbling on them in a dainty fashion. For the record, I believe the flavours to be purple potato, seaweed and scallop. The scallop one tasted best.
With no small degree of ceremony, shellfish bisque was poured over my bowl of squid and saffron-piquillos relish at the table. The bisque was soft and aromatic; the squid beautifully tender, as were the folded sheets of swede taken together with the subtle tang of the piquillos relish. It was altogether a lovely dish, delicate and light. I was intrigued by the addition of tapioca, which gave the bisque a really unusual texture. Something I'll be messing around with when cooking at home…
Braised Ox Cheek with an Anchovy sauce, pieces of confit Lemon and Avocado Chantilly doesn't sound like the likeliest combination does it? I started eating, and oh my God, it was amazing. Tender, sticky, intensely savoury, absolutely perfectly cooked. I was lost in the moment, savouring the flavours. What's that? At this point, somewhat embarrassed I realised that I had been making contented soft whimpering noises to myself whilst eating. Honestly, that doesn't happen often. This was one of the best dishes I've eaten for ages. Loved it.
A pre-dessert White Chocolate cone, with crushed Wasabi Pea coating and a Blood Orange jelly filling was unusual and a good bridge between the savoury and sweet courses.
The following dessert of Red Macaroon, confit fruits in Armagnac and Rose Champagne Jelly was perfectly decent, and a nice light way to end the meal, but perhaps lacked the inventiveness of some of the previous dishes. I think as it was so ridiculously wintery outside, I really was in the mood for something a bit more stodgy and filling.
The petit four however, win the award for some of the nicest ones I've ever seen. They were beautiful, served on a crisp edible chocolate shell.
Overall, I really enjoyed lunch at Club Gascon. The service was perhaps a tiny bit more stiff and formal than I'm used to, but that's to be expected when fine dining in a French restaurant. To be honest, I actually quite enjoy watching real professionals work the room.
The food is obviously very French but despite working within this classic framework, it often veers off unexpectedly on a very experimental tangent. I don't think I've seen a menu quite like it. Pascal Aussignac's food itself is beautifully cooked and extremely interesting. Yes, a few elements didn't quite work for me. I'm thinking some of the amuses and the crisps accompanying the sea urchin veloute. But on the other hand the Ox Cheek dish in particular stands out as one of the best things I've eaten for a long time. At £55 the tasting menu is pretty good value, but as I mentioned earlier, I will definitely be returning to sample the 3 courses for £25 lunch menu which looks to be a complete bargain.

[How-To] Root Your Google I/O Edition Galaxy Tab 10.1
Google handed out a special edition of Galaxy Tab 10.1 to developers last year at Google I/O. Even though it has the same hardware as the retail version, it is different in bootloader and software. There are many guides out there that teaches you how to root a retail version Galaxy Tab 10.1, but those don't work on the I/O edition. After some fumbling around, I rooted my I/O Galaxy Tab 10.1 and flashed a different ROM on it. Here's how (on Windows PC):
1. Download the Android SDK from Google and install it on your PC.
2. Download this zip file and uncompress it. It has everything you need to root an I/O Galaxy Tab 10.1
3. Go to your Android SDK folder and find out where "adb" is located. If it's not in \android-sdk-windows\tools\ then it might be in \android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\ Find out where it is and make sure it has the files "adb," "AdbWinApi.dll," and "AdbWinUsbApi.dll" in the same directory.
4. From the uncompressed files, move the files "fastboot.exe" and "recovery-cwm-5-5-0-4.img" to your the folder where "adb," "AdbWinApi.dll," and "AdbWinUsbApi.dll" locate.
5. Install the device driver by installing "PdaNetA325.exe." Follow the on-screen instruction and when asked which brand your device is, choose Samsung.
6. Plug in your I/O Galaxy Tab 10.1 via USB to your PC. Windows should start installing the appropriate driver for the device. Once it's completed, wait for about 30 seconds for the AutoPlay dialog box to show up. Click on Open device to view files to open the internal SD card folder (Or you can go to Computer, Portable Devices, GT-P7510).
7. Transfer the "root.zip" file over to the device's root level.
8. Once that's done, unplug the USB cable and shut down your Tab.
9. Here's where it gets interesting. Normally, you can access the recovery partition on the retail version of Galaxy Tab's by holding down the Power and Volume Down (the one right next to the power button) and choose the recovery partition. However, that option does not exist on the I/O version of Galaxy Tab 10.1. Instead, you choose the USB icon to go into fastboot mode. Use the Volume Down button to choose which mode to boot into and use the Volume Up button to enter.
10. Once you're in fastboot mode, plug in the USB cable and connect it to the PC.
11. From the Windows Start menu, type in 'cmd' to get to the command prompt.
12. Change directory (cd) to where your Android SDK is located. Specifically, the folder that has all the files necessary (fastboot.exe, recovery-cwm-5-5-0-4.img, etc.). For example, if the folder is in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools, then type in "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" and hit enter (without quotes).
13. Type in "fastboot devices" and hit enter (without quotes). The prompt should show you the device connected with a string of numbers.
14. Type in "fastboot boot recovery-cwm-5-5-0-4.img" and hit enter (without quotes). This will boot the Tab into recovery with the specific CWM 184.108.40.206 image. Your Tab will now reboot into CWM recovery.
15. Once you boot into CWM recovery, do a nandroid backup first. Use the Volume buttons to move up and down the list and the Power button to enter. Go to "backup and restore," then select "backup." CWM will then do a complete backup of your device.
16. Now to the rooting part. Make your way to "install zip from sdcard," "choose zip from sdcard," then select the "root.zip" file to apply. It will ask you to confirm if you want to install the file, choose "Yes".
17. Once the file finishes installing, "Go back" to the very top level of CWM recovery and choose to "reboot system now."
18. When the Tab is rebooted, go to Apps and check if there's "ROM Manager" and "SuperUser" apps installed. You have successfully rooted your I/O Galaxy Tab 10.1 if those two apps appear in your Apps screen.
19. That's it. Now you have complete access to your I/O Galaxy Tab 10.1.
20. If you want to change the default Recovery to CWM recovery, go back to step 14 and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-5-5-0-4.img" (without quotes) to replace the default recovery with CWM. (Highly recommended you to do this for future ROMing and backing up/restoring!)

"I like being able to fire people who provide services to me." ŌĆō Mitt Romney
He was advocating for consumer choice in health insurance plans and we suppose the fair thing to do would be to give you the premise of this statement but the unfortunate wording of his sentiment is far too funny to give him benefit of doubt. Good going Romney.

There's nothing about this picture (via Busted Coverage) that suggests Jay Cutler is actually buds with Coolio – who, incidentally, was recently arrested at LAX for having crack on him. It's just a picture that happens to have both Jay and Coolio in it, with a couple of ladies between them. Innocent. Not even worthy of a second thought. Probably not worthy of a blog post. Did I mention Coolio was busted for crack possession at LAX recently?

- Very nice!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/6/2014We had dinner at Dolce in the outside front of the restaurant. Vibrant area of South Beach. Delicious food and great service. We will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time- going backReeltrDined on 8/23/2014There were 4 of us and we all loved our food. We actually did the Spice menu, which had a great selection and excellent food. Definitely a "going back to" place
- Espectacular!DianaDined on 8/23/2014This place was amazing. My husband and I live in Miami and we know how hard is to find a true Italian restaurant in town. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the warm caprese salad. Even though this has become a very popular dish in almost every restaurant, this one was just outstanding! For entree my husband had pizza and I had the spinach raviolis. They were both very yummy :) finally you must try their tiramisu. And you must know I'm very picky with my tiramisus... It is my favorite desert after all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fresh and DelicioushealthchickVIPDined on 8/23/2014A group of us went for Miami Spice and loved everything. The appetizer of meatballs was flavorful and with a nice texture. The beet salad was fresh and an interesting blend of textures and spices. The veal scaloppine had a light breading and a robust mushroom sauce, which while heavy was not overwhelming to the dish. The surprise of the night was the pizza. It is delicious! Probably the best in Miami. Pizzas have a thin crust and the ingredients are fresh (and I believe the mozzarella is made in house). We all felt as if we were right in Italy! The portion sizes for all the courses were generous. We all ordered the chocolate mousse. It was rich and creamy and delicious. A perfect end to an delightful meal!Special Features:
- Horrible fake ItalianHorribleDined on 8/16/2014This was cheap food, seemed microwaved. I ordered the caprese salad and instead of bring my the proper Burrata cheese that should come with this salad they melted a block mozzarella in the microwave. It was terrible. The risotto also seemed microwaved and cheap. I felt like I was eating at a restaurant on ocean drive. I would never go back. So over priced for what it is too.
- It was goodVepicis19VIPDined on 8/15/2014I had dine in here before and thought it was great. But this time was just ok. Not coming backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptionally delicioso!!!!GoodchampagneVIPDined on 8/14/2014We happened upon this restaurant in passing and ended up eating here twice during our stay!!! The Lemon Risotto is, "outstanding"!! Being as I am allergic to shrimp I inquired about substituting the shrimp for scallops. Perfection!!!! My friend was craving, spaghetti and meatballs and their meatballs are a combination of lamb, beef and pork (I believe) and they were astounding. Authentico!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Food and Service.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014Everything was very good from start to finish, the only negative is the background music; to much rock and roll music.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect post-shopping dinner spotMaryLee2028VIPDined on 8/2/2014Great location - close to, but not right on, Lincoln Road. Went with a friend and 10-year old. Waitstaff (Ennio) was warm and welcoming. Brought a great strawberry "mock-tail". Overall price point is consistent with South Beach - nice ambience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Can't recommend Dolce enough!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- IpswichjimVIPDined on 5/1/2014Concierge at The Ritz recommended this place which was only a block away. Wonderful patio seating and although Collins Ave. is right outside, enough vegetation acting as a screen provides enough privacy that you look out more than people looking in. Warm mozzarella on the Caprese salad was to die for but the tomatoes could have been better (had better ones at Ritz the night before). Lamb Ragu and Veal Milanese were both wonderful and dressing on salad that came with veal was light but with enough zing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Dolce A Cut Above...ConnecticutNateDined on 3/3/2014Lots of Italian choices in South Beach - this one rises to the top for food quality and value. We were greeted and seated promptly at an outside table (Tuesday night - weekends you'll wait unless you're an early bird/night owl). Solid italian menu with a broad selection and price range. We did the foodie thing, but the gang next to us was happy with their brick oven pizzas. Pasta was fresh and cooked perfectly. Sauce (or 'gravy' as we say here) also vibrant - oh and the antipasto was also a strong performer. Wine list is good - 'by-the-glass' has some solids on it - but like any SB eatery, you'll pay for it- just a get a bottle, sit back, and enjoy the parade along Collins Ave. NWGSpecial Features:

We were escorted upstairs to the dining room. Intimate smaller space - perfect for good conversation. Server was genuine and helpful. The wine list is varied with prices that are well under other SoBe restaurants. We started with a Charcuterie Platter of smoked meats and fresh mozzarella -DIVINE. There was so much on the platter we shared a pasta of Short Rib Ravioli -YUMMY. My only suggestion is that the server should have split the entree among two plates, without my having to ask. That is really the only off thing about the restaurant. Great Gem in SoBe. Can't wait to go backSpecial Features:

Before I got married I had a small fish pond business I was running right in my father's compound. I couldn't get a job after graduation so I decided to focus my attention on my small scale business.
I met my wife in one of Nigeria's top banks when I went to open an account for my business.
I didn't know what it entailed to open an account so I was directed to the customer care unit. She told me the procedures and asked me to bring the necessary documents whenever I am ready to open the account. Before the end of that week I got the documents ready and took it to the bank. But at the back of my mind there was more to my haste. I wanted to get to know her better, and since I didn't notice any ring on her finger, I just assumed she was single. Her thoughts couldn't just let me be.
So after two weeks I went to the same bank and went straight to the customer unit. To cut the whole long story short, we dated for 6months before we decided to tie the knot. Three months into marriage I got a job in one of the communication sector and our financial status was balanced, after my wife had our second son, I was transferred to a neighbouring state. I was there for six months and communication between me and my wife was okay to my understanding. I got home at the end of the six months and just few days after my arrival I noticed some changes in my wife. First was her blackberry. I went through her mobile phone and saw the conversation she had with this particular guy.
When I confronted my wife about it, she said he was a former school mate and she said she was only flirting with him because she didn't want to be rude to him. It came as a shock to my hearing, but I just didn't want to raise any alarm. Then I noticed again that her dressing has also changed. She started wearing revealing and clingy cloths. I thought she was doing it to make me notice her because of the few months we spent apart, but I was wrong, she was doing it to please the same guy that was among her blackberry contacts.
Another thing I noticed again was that her mobile phone became her right hand, the phone was with her wherever she was, even in the bathroom. After quiet monitoring, I realised she was dating this guy. I confronted her and she denied and then I knew it was a blatant lie.
I am not the kind of guy that stays out or keep friends. I also don't like involving third parties but when I decided to talk to her mother about it, she said as long as I didn't catch her red handed I should keep quiet.
My wife has given me every reason to doubt her innocence yet she keeps denying it. Looks like she is just taking my simplicity for granted and honestly at this point I don't know what to do or who to talk to.

Mass intentions may be made by contacting
the parish office during office hours.The Faith Community
at St. Finbarr is blessed whenever we entrust our
prayers with one another.
The Food Pantry in Everglades City continues to be in great need of non-perishable food. Please be sure that donations are not open or outdated. Thank you for your continued generosity!
Through the grace of God and under the guidance of our priest,
the people of the parish use their talents, treasure and enthusiasm
to create and maintain an atmosphere of faith, prayer, support,
and community. We do this so that all who come to
St Finbarr will join together in our journey to the Lord.
Grace is a gift from God that enables us to live more fully in union with Him. It strengthens our desire to choose good over evil. It also helps us to manage difficulties in our lives better. When we feel humility, compassion, forgiveness we're putting others' needs before our own. These are signs of God's graces working within us.
When we let Him work through us, we help Him to do the same for others. We can show His love for others in how we treat them and in how we pray for them.
Saint Finbarr was born in Connaught in about 550. He was the son of an artisan, Amergin, and a lady of the Irish royal court. He was baptized Lochan and was educated at Kilmacahil, Kilkenny, where the monks named him Fionbarr (white head) because of his light hair. He went on pilgrimage to Rome with some of the monks, visiting St David in Wales on the way back. Read more...

2008 Preview - Kosuke Fukudome
I've been beating the drums for this guy since October.
Even though I am still not convinced that your 2008 Cubs are going to do a darned thing to remember them by without a decent leadoff hitter, and even though Uncle Lou's Grand Master Plan has this guy in the wrong place in the Batting Order at this time...my faith in Cuba Libre will be born out, and Kosuke Fukudome (aka Fooky, FukU, Fu Ku, Ko Fu, F-Dome.....) will be in his rightful place in the world, batting second and playing right field for us.
Let us review, once again, what a right fielder should be for the Cubs: a fearless fielder, with a plus arm. Must have to deal with sun, so must be able to get to the ball quickly in order to accordingly arrange glove/visor/shades. Must be smart, and remember that the wall juts out, the wind blows ball around in mysterious ways, and that there is about 18 inches of room between the foul line and the side wall in deep RF. Must be a good hitter, power desirable but not strictly necessary.
This guy fills the bill in all ways. Plus he is proving to be a fine teammate, who ingratiates himself with his peers, and who turned down more money to play for us. I am always thrown off watching him. Not because he is Japanese, but because it is odd for me to actually watch a patient batter wearing a Cubs uniform. He wants to run, and he seems to know HOW to run, which is a wonderful thing, based on telling stats from the Other Fifteen today, who quantified that the Cubs are one of the worst baserunning teams in history, certainly amongst division winners.
And, of course, if you live in the gutter as I do, you've noticed the man is a nickname MACHINE! Cultural differences can be wonderful, dontcha think? What is an obviously proud surname in Japan can be twisted and stretched into all sorts of Anglo fun! God help him if he ever breaks bad on us. I can see it spiraling completely out of control, "Fuku-this" and "Fuku-that".
I have a feeling, though, that both of us, me and the plural YOU, will be frustrated with him before all is said and done, and it isn't really gonna be his fault, on either count.
As I have already pointed out, barring the extremely logical and anticipated Roberts trade, the lineup is going to look like this:
- Theriot
- Soriano
- Lee
- Ramirez
- Fukudome
- DeRosa
- Soto
- Pie
- Pitcher duJour
He isn't gonna be the best fifth hitter in Cubs history.
Have I mentioned that Fukudome has the best bat control and most patience on the team? Maybe he should bat leadoff? Out of this bunch, sure, perhaps. But remember my rant the other day, how this team needs to be foolproof? All the perfect pieces must be in place for this team to win it all?
Well, assuming we had the perfect leadoff man, who milked pitchcounts, got on base, and created havoc, wouldn't it be great to have a bat wizard hitting 2nd? Someone who can protect runners, hit to the other side, hit behind runners, hit-and-run, makes contact, doesn't strike out much, draw walks and set things up nicely for 3-4-5?
Well, here's your man. Right here.
I have a feeling though that he is going to need to adjust to this league. I can see him hitting about .250 this year, I really can, which may lead at least one of you to shout out loud that Jacque Jones hits better than that! Ah, yes, but did Jones throw guys out? Did Jones know how to hit a cutoff man? Did he know how to move runners along? Did he know how to work a count? Did he have a .360 OBP? Did he know how to situationally hit, to try for a single when a single was needed?
Nah, Jones don't know any of those things. Fukudome knows them all. He WILL do the things to help us win. Roberts be damned, THIS is the singlemost important thing Hendry had to do this off-season, get this guy, and now the F-dome is in the house. Kon-ichi-wa.
I wonder...
...if he has a vacation home in Phuket, Thailand?
That and Bangkok.
That and Bangkok.
and when he orders thai
...he always has 'cum of sum yung boi'.

I bought these for use at my daughter's wedding as salad plates and they were the perfect size. We set each table using the dinner plates, salad plates, silver plastic ware and plastic stemware. It was beautiful and economical compared to renting real china. I would purchase again for any future formal event I have.
Christine K. Posted on 07/10/2014
The plates looks good but I had to send back because they are way too small for appetizers! Could only be dessert plates and very disappointed with the description! Charged me a restocking fee! With the expensive shipping to me and back plus restocking fee--- I would not recommend this company!
Tammy R. Posted on 03/28/2014
Thank you for your review! We do list the dimensions of these plates in our product description. They are typical dessert-sized plates, but if you are looking for a larger plate in the same style, try the Fineline 7.5" plate item 346207BN or the Fineline 9" plate item 346209BN.

Way back when, my since dear departed brother and I worked together in the classified advertising department of one of the UK's leading quality newspapers. No big deal – except that we were the only two men in a team of twenty. Were we tempted? Read on.
You would think perhaps that faced with such odds it would be hard to resist or avoid some kind of romantic liaison with one of our female colleagues. Indeed the guys from next door in production used to envy us saying that we must feel like we had died and gone to heaven every day. Er actually, no!
