Grab a sneak peek at the people and passion of The CSI Group. See the faces that build winning brands and tell compelling stories each and every day.
(We've made our moms proud. Our clients even prouder.)
International relaunch and redesign of all tactical elements with a more modern aesthetic that reinforces Citizen's main product benefit of "powered by light." Included brand ambassador photo shoots and national tv advertising. Elements extended into every brand touch point — product photography, catalogs, point of sale materials, print & online advertising, and internal communications.
Serving as Solstice's agency of record, we facilitate and develop their annual consumer promotions. To kick off the summer season, Solstice celebrates in style with an annual promotion that embraces the active brand lifestyle on the longest day of the year. In-store and online—CSI handled all the tactical elements from concept through completion to support the program.
Castrol wanted to hype-up the announcement of their new brand ambassador for Castrol® GTX® High MileageTM, so CSI flew out to Seattle to produce a 30-second spot featuring Kasey Keller, the legendary U.S. soccer goalkeeper. The in-stadium spot ran during the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers, reaching half a million fans, and will also run at the 2014 FIFA World CupTM in Brazil. CSI also filmed a full sit-down Q&A session with Kasey, staged a PR photo shoot and captured all the fun in a behind-the-scenes video.
Check out the behind-the-scenes video and some clips from Kasey's Q&A interview on
The CSI Group YouTube Channel
We specialize in creating engaging experiences that evoke the essence of a brand in real time. For BP/Castrol, we have been the go-to resource for creative content surrounding their live promotional events, both for the trade and consumers. We produce and strategically craft programs for your target to interact with. No matter what the environment…from corporate training, lobby design, consumer education/promotions or simply a trade show environment, we design the experience to fit your needs and delight any audience.
Pantone was launching 336 new colors to the market. The campaign journeyed through the creative mind — playful and slightly irreverent — and featured custom illustrations done by our team. The product launch materials showcased a variety of media including print advertising, marketing collateral, online and video. We have launched many PANTONE products including CAPSURE, Pantone LIVE and the Pantone SkinTone Guide. Each was featured in Communication Arts, HOW and Print Magazine.
IFF, a global leader in the creation of flavors and fragrances, needs to consistently recruit the best-of-the-best in their highly specialized industry. CSI's task was to effectively communicate IFF's brand promise and international culture. We produced an upbeat and informative recruitment video that introduces prospects to IFF, as well as a slick recruitment card that invites prospects to view the video and apply on IFF's career website. Great things are happening at IFF, and the recruitment tools CSI delivered will ensure that story keeps getting told.
LG was launching their latest TVs containing Cinema 3D Technology. We were asked to create an in-store video/experience that not only showed off the new 3D feature, but also gave the viewer background information and technology benefits. After extensive market research, we declared the best way to sell this technology was to make the 3D experience pop-out at you - literally! The result: fire breathing dragons that extend 3 feet out of the television, a fish that you can almost kiss and one shiny Telly Award for 3D marketing.
These LG TVs were not only about the new Cinema 3D Technology. The CSI Group produced 8 in-store videos showcasing all the new features that come packaged with LGs latest line of flat-screens TVs.
Getting the opportunity to create a unique piece of communication is always a thrill for us, but we're beyond excited when we get to design a complete environment to communicate our client's brand and message. This installation for the US Army incorporates a 30' branded display case, holding an on-board interactive touchscreen system, mounted to a 12' rail system (I-Wall, for short). Additional touch screens were added to navigate their building directory and to view announcements and photo slideshows.
Develop smart solutions and tactical elements to promote sales, technology & product education. Print, online, and video—materials designed to excite both retailers and sales force in internal communications, sales and trade show environments. User Interface Design of critical OPS Solution Center where the sales force can access tools to successfully market to segments including hospitals, law practices, print production agencies, and educational institutions.
Citizen Watch Company's latest line of products - DRIVE from Citizen Eco-Drive was expanding its campaign to include national television. Leveraging the creative from the campaign, CSI injected some aggressive and high-energy motion design along with modeling, lighting, texturing and animating of two 3D watches. The result was a powerful, in-your-face TV spot that reached Citizen's target audience of key millenials.
Castrol wanted new creative that not only touted the amazing benefits of their oil filters, but one that had the personality of the Castrol brand. Our team crafted a series of ads that called attention to the product's performance in a smart, bold manner to connect with their audience. In order to further the consumer's knowledge of the Castrol SFX oil filter, CSI created an animation that takes a fun and powerful approach while providing detailed background information.
Solstice partners with Gucci annually to create an upscale and intriguing holiday campaign. From thematic development, consumer promotions and an aggressive direct mail initiative—through in store and online tactical elements—CSI created a 360 degree campaign to help boost holiday sales. Best of all, we gave one lucky winner a trip anybody would wish for—a Beverley Hills Shopping Spree!
We're a collective hub of powerful ideas and potent marketing results. Our business is to create a compelling advertising and marketing story that speaks and connects your brand with your audience. One that solves a business problem, and creates a real result for you. We do it by being one agency. Not an advertising agency. Not a digital agency. Not a one-size-fits-all agency. But a "you have a problem, we solve it" agency armed with every discipline needed to do it. Creative. Strategic. Digital. Social. Video. We've won many awards for our solutions – but the biggest recognition comes from our clients, many of whom have been with us for over 20 years. There's a lot going on here, and it all revolves around you. Because we're as invested in your brand as you are.
Web design means more than building a pretty website (though we assure you yours will look amazing). It means planning and designing sites that are easy to use, flexible and viewable on all types of mobile devices. It means understanding search engines and developing your site in an optimized manner (SEO). It means creating buzz and motivating users to share information about your brand on social networks. And it means building engaging interactive displays, digital signage and interactive kiosks that tell stories in new ways.
Want to trigger your audience's imagination? Think video. The CSI Group has a state-of-the-art, full-service in-house video production department that practices delivering motion that shapes perceptions and tells your story. We do everything from TV spots (most recently starring Eli Manning – yes, we're name-dropping), product, corporate and trade show videos to in-store digital signage, web and mobile content.
Advertising is in our DNA and we do it well. We don't just spread the word about you, we make the word. We bring great concepts to life that deliver the essence of your brand while getting you noticed, making an impression and generating results. (We can even make an oil filter sexy.)
Your customers need to touch, feel and experience your brand. That's why our exciting marketing materials showcase ideas. We design brochures, catalogs, posters and in-store displays that inspire, engage and deliver your message – ultimately selling your product or service.
We admit it – we are exhibitionists. That is, experts in putting your product or service on display. We plan and organize sales meetings, trade shows and special events. And we never overlook a detail – whether it's travel, transportation or on-site management and coordination. In fact, we brand your event, making sure the design of any booth, presentation or more, delivers your message. Our staging and vast audio/visual experience helps reduce event costs while ensuring meetings and presentations go off without a hitch.
Online or in-store, we drive consumer behavior using the media that suits your goals best: Facebook, Pinterest or any traditional point-of-sale. We craft strategic programs that drive your target to take action. We also handle internal sales incentive programs for your retailers or employees. From start to finish — theming through prize fulfillment — CSI delivers creative solutions to reward and engage.
Our full service photography studio was designed and engineered with input from art directors, retouchers, producers and photographers. The sum of these unique perspectives is a well-operated, streamlined studio experience that can accommodate the needs of any project.

I was surprised at the impact and shocked that I was not suriously injuried. Other than neck and back pains I didn't have to stay in the hospital over night. I think that, this 1993 Ford Taurus saved my life. The vehicle is no longer safe to be on the road however, i just wanted your company to know that you're doing a great job with building your vehicles. Thanks for building Ford tough!

The story in today's paper about gubernatorial candidate Peter Caroon imploying that Gov. Gary Herbert is taking political contributions from companies that later received governmental contracts is interesting, but doesn't reveal anything surprising.
Caroon says the contributions raise "red flags" but never says Herbert is violating the law. Herbert gets all huffy over his integrity being impugned, but never disputes any facts in Caroon's memos.
So what is the big deal?
Well, they're both right, which is the sad part.
Politics as usual in Utah means that large campaign donors support where Utah spends its money because that is how those same donors make their living. It comes as no surprise that some of the major campaign donors to GOP candidates in Utah are contractors, because contractors look at Utah's continually building of roads, highways and interstates as a permanent jobs program that has to be protected. Get some weeny Democrat in there who believes in mass transit and where is your next road program then?
As I've said before and will repeat here: Campaign contributions in Utah aren't meant to sway politicians, they are meant to insure that politicians who already agree with the donor gets elected. They are insurance, and Gov. Herbert is well-insured.
What amazes me is that, in Utah, the reddest of red states, the Tea Party is not up in arms over the whole system, demanding campaign reform that limits the ability of major donors to so heavily weigh the odds in favor of their chosen candidates. After all, it is CEOs who get rich on government contracts, not the workers laying the asphalt.
Aren't Tea Partiers supposed to be down on fat cats getting drunk at the government tap? I thought they were, but perhaps I am wrong.
In any event, Caroon is right to rail against the current system, which pretty much guarantees that major corporations get their guy in office.
It's odd that Utah Tea Partiers, who claim to be all about the little guy, aren't screaming for limits on corporate campaign donations. It may be a free speech issue, but corporate donations also give corporations a huge microphone to yell through, while the $20 you send in barely makes a peep.

The put/call ratio is at an extreme level, about 1.3, implying a bounce soon. It is a contrary indicator such that when there are more puts than calls, like on Friday, the market is likely to rebound. And the T2108 is very low, at 16%. The GMI is now zero for the first time since […]

Built deep into the San Francisco foothills is The Turner Residence—a stunning combination of classic art deco and modern minimalist architecture. Designed by Jensen Architects for a graphic designer, the residence uses quadrilateral shapes of all sizes to create a living space that's at once booth indoor and outdoor. Perhaps the most intriguing decision is the master bedroom, which features an entire retractable wall, allowing unspoiled, open views directly from the bed itself. Elsewhere the open-plan living and kitchen area look out onto Mount Tamalpais on one side and the pool on the other. That's not a bad place to be, if you ask us…

The 11th and 12th books of The Bible.1 Kings tells of Israel's Golden Age under Solomon but he also sows the seeds of rebellion which leads the nation to divide into Northern Israel and Southern Judah.2 Kings continues the history of the divided nations. Both go into a downward spiral until they are destroyed by foreign nations and their peoples sent into exile.In Christian Bibles it is followed by 1 & 2 Chronicles, a Lighter and Softer rehashing of Kings to inspire the Jews exiled to Babylon. Most of the Prophets preached during this period so they will be discussed here also. In the Jewish Tanakh it is followed by the Book of Isaiah.
These books contain the following tropes

For you Lucky Baldwin's patrons, you have to try the Triple White Sage and Orange Grove. Good stuff!
Also, has anyone tried Hobglobin? I bought a sixer for $14, and I have to say that it's delicious with a great after taste.

I plan on shopping at Bevmo for the 9th anniv and the DBA (if they have it yet), as well as a Boontling and the Deschutes.
I already got a pack of Shiner Bock. have you tried that?
boont amber ale, my friends, is one good beer. this is one ****in rich malt.
great find, RR!
Picked up a 6 pack this week. Made by Coors company and it is not that bad. A refreshing beer. Definitely recommend to use lemon with this beer. You only get a hint of the wheat flavor. Would have liked more of a wheat flavor. One thing I will say about this beer, it's been good luck for me. Drank it the last 2 days during the Kings games and we won both.
You would love Anchor Steam Wheat. It is getting harder and harder to find, but it's a great beer.Quote:

Stone's 9th is a great beer to have. they call it Heat Seeking Wheat, rightfully so.
the other two beers I listed above I have not tried yet, though my roommate suggested Ommegang because that's what he's had before and liked it. I will post a review for both one of these days.
Ommegang is pretty good. I had it at a brewfest in Portland a couple of years ago.
No idea if this has been posted in this thread, but I am frankly too lazy to look. We are drinking Hoptown IPA right now. Really really good and flavorfull.
I've been to the Ommegang Brewery. It's in New York near Cooperstown (Baseball Hall of Fame). Good stuff if you like Belgian-styles. Which I do.Quote:

"The South Wales miners' strike of 1984-1985 saw the formation of an alliance between gays and lesbians from London and miners in Dulais Valley. In Dancing in Dulais, an initial wariness on the part of the young gays, the miners, and the miners' families gives way, through sometimes delicate interactions, to a loving and purposeful solidarity. The unembellished videography captures well this fascinating-to-witness union of two disparate yet ultimately kindred groups. The "Pits and Perverts" benefit concert features the Bronski Beat."

Short video on Brighton Hospitality Workers' campaign, which marks their 5th consecutive win!
"Last night we smashed a pipe. Whilst picking up the pieces he accidentally lodged one of the shards into the base of his thumb. He's spent twelve hours trying to pick the glass out. I know this because I've seen the clock strike 11:00 twice from the same position I've sat in all day.
In the past twelve hours I've also watched his face constantly bathe in the light of his phone. We've barely spoken a word to each other and the arrival of his Grindr arrangements have acted as the only distraction.
He incessantly narrates each message he receives. I manage to drown out the sound by losing myself in the swirls of smoke that disappear into the cracks of the ceiling tiles. I begin to count them and think about how desperate I am to leave but I quickly realise I can't face leaving alone."

Time to stop the privatisation of Brighton Pride
friends and comrades at AntiUK have written a piece on plans to further privatise Brighton Pride.
on news that further measures are being taken to privatise brighton pride.
In the first few years when P and I were first together, we used to go to Brighton Pride in his van. We'd park it a few streets away from the park and go and get fucked and it would be so great. It was one of the first public places we openly acted like a couple. We came from Reading which yeh has a a couple of gay bars and yeh those places were and are very important to us but Brighton pride was a public thing- we held hands and celebrated and it made u feel like things were actually possible and, yeh, real. Well, they were for me. Maybe bcos it was somewhere else, but maybe that's the point- people coming from all over England from difficult places where it's a struggle to hold hands and a struggle to be how you want to be. And that's what pride is and should be- comforting and yet exhilarating, still difficult but with lots of people who you know understand and who u know understand what it means to do what your trying to do together.
Once, in Reading, people threw stuff at us from a car and then drove round the block to go past us again and throw stuff at us again. Being with someone and being open as a gay couple- especially with the age difference we have- is difficult. But Brighton pride made us feel like, well you know, fuck it.
So we moved to Brighton. Which was the best thing we ever did.
But then, suddenly, you had to pay to go in the park. And that was like bullshit, but whatever, fine, bcos, well, u know, fucking dickheads are bound to ruin things and yeh good things only last a while. But we fought it. We told em to fuck off and luckily we had a good solid group of amazing queers around us who also said yeh fuck off making us making us pay and we did our own thing. Which felt important.
But then this year we find out they want to make people pay to get into the street party. And yeh, we're queer, we understand the problematic bullshit that makes pride this spectacle; but sometimes, when your sitting on the pavement with your bf swigging whiskey and kissing and your like fuck it, it's a beautiful thing. and no one around u gives a shit. but it still feels important bcos it's pride and u feel like your making a gesture of some sorts. Well, now they wanna charge us to do that. Well fuck them. And fuck the fact that we don't fit their model of the right sort of person who should be allowed to do that.
Sometimes rolling in the gutter in glitter hugging someone who u just met but who somehow knows what it means to be the victim of bullshit while your friends look on laughing about how you always take too much and think everything is always profound is the most perfect thing.
So, yeh, I'm drunk, but so what. g scene magazine can fuck itself and so can all the dickheads who wanna take this away from me and my bf. pride is and always has been bullshit. But at least it was bullshit that I felt somehow meant something.
On Holding Hands and Shouting in the Street
I made dinner for my boyfriend, A, last night. He came round late; he'd been preparing for a job interview, I made him something to eat, we talked about coffee overdoses and plans for the Bank Holiday weekend. We were going to watch a film but as he washed the dishes he asked if I fancied a walk. The sticky, close day had become a warm summery evening, and besides, he'd been inside all day, and felt like he hadn't seen the world.
"If you hold up your hands and crop that stuff out, you could be in Nice", he said, holding his hands up towards the towers of Cannon St station picked out by a beetroot red sunset, as we walked west along the Thames past the aspic hull of HMS Belfast. Nice try, I thought; if you cut out all the shitty things you could see the good things. "We could almost be on holiday" seemed optimistic, but tourist couples stood having their photos taken in front of Tower Bridge, and we could pretend other people's holidays were our own. We walked up to the Tate Modern, through warm spitting rain which seemed to be bothering no-one. We stopped there, leaning against the railings, looking over the river at high tide towards St Pauls. As couples on real holiday strolled past, we shared our mixed feelings on Christmas. I can't get enough of festive good cheer; working for a central London department store until late Christmas Eve for the past 5 years, A begs to differ.
We've only been seeing each other a few months. Perhaps this is one of the joys of first meeting someone who makes you daydream in their absence; you collate opinions and tastes, comparing and contrasting. When we met outside the British Museum in the watery spring sunshine for our first date, he told me that, on our way to the Baselitz prints I wanted to see, he'd show me his favourite stairway in London. We stared up at the weird fake Egyptian palm fronds that framed vast eggshell walls, flooded in light from the overhead windows. Huh, I thought. He's got a favourite stairwell. That's interesting. "I'd live on it, if I could, in a sleeping bag", he said, and I knew we'd have a nice afternoon. You collate each other's weird little opinions because that's how you get to know a lover, and because you don't, as yet, have many shared experiences. Well now we do; of the staircases we know and love, and of the man who screamed at us in the street as we turned and walked home from outside the Tate last night.
"Come on, let's go". I gave A a peck on the lips and held his hand. The rain was getting a little heavier and it was already almost 10. We walked underneath the Millenium Bridge, sadly lacking its mariachi band playing Spanish Flea. Midway through conversation I heard a group of girls behind us, in stage whispers- "ARE THEY HOLDING HANDS?". I let it drift over, but moments later a very loud and aggressive shout came from a man behind us.
"URRRRR", like a 5 year old. "THEY'RE HOLDING FUCKING HANDS!" in a broad London accent. He shouted after us, "fucking mincers!" and a slew of further slurs to add. I flushed red immediately at his vaguely 70s insult (I don't mince. A minces, but only socially, he doesn't make a habit of it). I didn't turn round but I felt eyes burning holes in me. The crowd's attention was drawn and people stared at us, two twenty something gayboys, holding hands in the street.
There's a divide between how you think you'd react, how you imagine you'd react when someone says something like that (again), and how you actually do react. There's a moment's pause, a lag whilst you realise you're the subject of the outrage and anger of a complete stranger. The first reaction is fear, fear that you're in immediate danger; what flashed through my mind wasn't indignation or defensiveness, but the memory of having my head slammed against coat pegs outside the science block aged 15, or seeing your friend fall between parked cars, his head hitting the curb before someone puts his boot in, or your friend S turning up on your doorstep, ears tattered after having all his earrings ripped out in the street. All those acts of violence are mashed into that moment. You immediately fear a rerun of past violence, and I'm ashamed now that the first thing I did was let go of A's hand. I made a stupid fake gesture of letting go to scratch the back of my head, as if my spare hand was useless for the job, convincing neither of us. Our conversation had stopped. 15 yards later I asked him if he'd heard that; of course he'd heard that, everyone within 100ft had heard it, heard the disgust in the man's voice, focused on us.
I can only say how it made me feel, if I'm honest. Perhaps some sharper fags with quicker wits and stronger stomachs know what to shout back to puncture the situation. Perhaps they walk on with some new strength, gripping their lover tighter. But immediately I felt if not shameful, then certainly shamed.
I felt shamed by the disgust in the man's voice. I felt disciplined by him; the fact he felt empowered to voice that disgust immediately gave him an authority over me, a right to police my behaviour in public. He was right, goddamnit: we were holding hands. Two men, holding hands, right there, in public, for all to see. We'd thought we could get away with it, with being Queer In Public, but he'd spotted us; banged to rights, he'd called us out, and people stared. No-one said anything, and, shamed by who I am, what I'd been caught doing, I read that as tacit approval of our punishment. Of course I did; I'm well aware that society is ok with gays, but tired of having it shoved down their throat (a peculiar little idiom solely reserved for us and our behaviour). It was only a little humiliation but it was humiliating, having your unacceptable behaviour drawn attention to in public. He didn't hit us, and we didn't stop. We just walked in opposite directions, him still muttering in disgust, me and A in abrupt silence, everyone else just ignoring it. Maybe my anger is at some displaced privilege I feel; but that shows just how deep heterosexual policing is. Despite being a white, cis, able-bodied young male, the tip of the social pyramid, I'm still subject to attack for behaving in a way that's inappropriate to my gender in public. Part of me wants to hold all heterosexuals responsible; despite the kind words and sympathies of friends, I can't help but feel they're complicit in the idea that heterosexuality is the norm, the default, the way the world looks. I feel like they're responsible in the same way I'm responsible for violence against women every time I remain silent in a group of men when a sexist joke is told, because I don't want to forfeit my benefits of being a man. This bitterness and anger at all heterosexuals is probably wildly unfair, but I still feel it keenly.
I know it wasn't a big thing that happened. I've had worse, and much, much worse happens to queers and trans people every day right across the city. But I came out 14 years ago, half my lifetime ago, and in all honesty I'd have hoped the sense of anger, humiliation and shame at being screamed at for being gay would have worn off in that time. It makes me wonder whether I honestly could say to a teenage bullying victim "it gets better". This is one incident in a spectrum of incidents that will not cease for me, but last night was the one which happened at a time in my life where I feel safe and secure enough in myself to say at last "That hurt me. I'm tired of this shit".
I wanted to put down in words what happened because, whilst the guy who shouted has probably forgotten he even saw us last night, when A got up for work at 5am this morning I lay awake till 7 just thinking about it, running through what he said over and over. And I'll think about his voice again the next time I'm out in public and A makes me laugh and I want to hold his hand, or when he meets me from my office and wants a kiss hello. That's the point of policing and punishing; it's meant to get inside your head, so that next time you're tempted to commit an offence, you think twice. As a gay person, when I feel love in public, I think twice. I check my behaviour, I check my environment. When I see young straight couples in love, kissing by the river, I get a taint of bitterness. When I feel affection, I also feel danger. That's why these stupid, minor incidents hurt so much: they poison love.
Here is a video of an event that aims to create a dialogue around current issues of drug use and sex amongst gay men today. Events like this are really worthwhile considering that although historically gay male sexual practices have been and are demonised through forms of homophobia based on health-scares, bodily irresponsibility, and supposed issues with intimacy, HIV and STD rates are on the increase, and substance misuse is still a massive problem for us. Events like this are starting to find that balance between addressing the issues that surround sex and drugs that are threatening our lives and communities whilst combating the homophobia that hopes to moderate the dialogue surrounding these issues so that they can be used against us. The next event is here.
'Let's Talk About Gay Sex & Drugs' is an open communication forum for all gay men living in London, to come talk about how they perceive sex and drugs in the modern capital. No judgement, an event designed simply to listen to each other's voices.
Today is the fifteenth anniversary of the bombing of the Admiral Duncan gay pub on Old Compton Street, London. Solidarity with all victims of homophobic violence.

This is the motto of the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC), an organization dedicated to educating consumers about window cord safety. Unnecessary injuries can be avoided with child safe blinds and preventative safety measures. Blindsgalore is proud to offer a wide variety of cordless window treatments that improve child safety. Pets are also protected by choosing cordless blinds or shades.
The WCSC recommends cordless child safety blinds and shades whenever possible, including shades with motorized lift as child safe window treatments. Wand control operation is another cordless choice for vertical blinds and panel track blinds, which are typically necessary for larger windows and patio doors. When the position of the window or large size of the shade prevents a cordless or motorized choice, the WCSC also approves the use of continuous cord loops for child safe window treatments. This option features clutch-assisted lift control with a looped cord that is anchored to the wall and remains the same length regardless of the position of the shade.
Today's options are many, so you don't need to sacrifice style or function when shopping for your child safe blinds and shades. Manufacturers now offer cordless lift in some of the most on-trend styles like eco-friendly woven woods in bamboo, reeds and sustainable materials, as well as fabric roman shades in the latest home fashion patterns. You can also choose from dozens of cordless blackout shades to help keep the bedroom dark during mid-day naps and during the night. Cordless cellular shades can accommodate your need for more protection against outdoor temperatures and greater indoor comfort in children's bedrooms or any room, if you have a need for privacy in certain rooms, but still want to let in the light, the top down bottom up feature is also available as an option on some cordless blinds and shades.
Even if your home doesn't currently have small children, cordless window treatments are still a smart choice for peace of mind. Houseguests may bring children into your home, and, if you ever sell your home, the buyers will appreciate the added safety and streamlined look provided by cordless blinds and shades.

Although it is often lumped in with the blaxploitation boom of the early '70s, Across 110th Street is actually a gritty police procedural with a strong element of social commentary. The cast attacks the material with straight-faced gusto, with the central focus being the fiery, compelling battle of wills between straight-arrow newcomer Yaphet Kotto and Anthony Quinn as his good-hearted but corrupt older partner. Anthony Franciosa also makes a frighteningly vivid impression as an aging small-time mobster whose hunger for power drives him to psychotic brutality in his pursuit of the hapless thieves. Across 110th Street is also notable because it allows drama to take precedence over the action instead of vice versa. Scenes of Kotto and Quinn grappling over issues of racism and corruption in the police department are just as important to the film as the central story line of the mafia chasing the thieves. This doesn't mean that the film skimps on action, in fact, it is full of tough, tightly edited action scenes like the opening tenement apartment heist and an explosive rooftop shootout. However, these moments eschew the comic-book tone of most action films in favor of a raw, unflinching sense of brutality likely to make even the toughest viewers squirm in their seats. Barry Shear's atmospheric direction weaves the many subplots together in a skillful fashion and effectively captures the grimy, claustrophobic feel of the story through a combination of location shooting and mobile, often handheld camera work. Finally, the film's tough but emotional style is sealed by a bittersweet soul score from Bobby Womack (years later, Quentin Tarantino chose this film's title song to open and close Jackie Brown). All in all, Across 110th Street is a powerhouse effort that succeeds both as an incisive social drama and an intense police thriller.

Staff report
Police continue to investigate three recent shootings, but they are getting little cooperation from two men, both of whom suffered gunshot wounds to the leg about the same time Monday afternoon.
Khiry J. Taylor, 20, of Idylwild Street Northeast, was shot in the leg about 2:20 p.m. in the 200 block of Idylwild, police said.
Antonio L. Dukes, 25, of Brier Street Southeast, meanwhile, showed up at St. Joseph Health Center at 3:08 p.m. with a gunshot wound of the leg.
Dukes said an unknown person shot him in the leg while he was jogging in the area of Milton, Brier and Burton streets Southeast.
Police are investigating to determine whether the two shootings are related, but neither victim is cooperating, detectives said, adding that neither man appears to have life-threatening injuries.
Meanwhile, Desmond Talley, 35, of West Park Drive Southwest, reported being shot in the groin by a female at 7:02 a.m. Friday at the woman's home on Garden Street Northwest, but police have not yet been able to interview Talley.
In another matter, police were called to 405 Washington St. NW at 5:56 p.m. Monday for a 51-year-old woman who reported her child's father threatened her with a knife, then cut himself.
The man, also 51 and also of the Washington Street address, was taken to ValleyCare Trumbull Memorial Hospital for a psychological evaluation and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence.
Ya think they want see all the babies daddies go to jail. What a country. The babbies daddy goes to jail, and the governmet takes care of them. Then the babbies and momas get the other support from the government. I thought Lincoln freed the slaves from forced slavery. I guess it is alright if a group of people self inflict themselves with a form of control that is beyond their control. Sounds like slavery to me. When will another leader like Dr King emerge to lead by example?
Its funny how they always complain that we ignore this group of people (for over 100 yrs now) but when you try to help them they clam up. Do you wonder why? Its because because they are shiftless idiots and if the police are involved it might draw attention to them!!! Let the cockroaches kill themselves and get these idiots off the gov't payroll and let them survive like normal people do. WORK!!! but thats a real 4-letter word to cockroaches

Good product for someone who only reloads a few hundred hundred rounds per month like myself. Go larger if you reload a lot.
The least expensive ammo tumbler out there and with good reason. Mine quit the third time I used it. Probably best to spend a little more and not have to go through the return process.
works very well with smaller amounts of brass.
This nano tumbler is a great buy. I was able to tumble about 150 .45 cases for around 1 hour & they came out great. The machine is quiet and efficient. The smaller size makes it easy to store.
Does not have an on/off switch. Very inconvenient and I don't believe the item description mentioned this.
I was expecting something different but should have known the Nano ment small. God product though.

Brain metabolism of cretins was studied before and after the administration of desiccated thyroid. Blood was collected from an artery and the internal jugular vein and analyzed for oxygen. Cerebral blood flow was estimated with the aid of a thermostromuhr inserted in the internal jugular vein. The oxygen uptake was also determined and sustained an average rise of 22 per cent after therapy, taking the premedication value as a base line. The deviations from standard values of basal metabolic rate are also presented. The average of 29 arterio-venous oxygen differences of 11 cretins was 5.74 volumes per cent before thyroid administration and that value was reduced to 4.69 volumes per cent on 25 observations on 9 patients after therapy. In 8 cretins the average acceleration of cerebral blood flow was 57 per cent. Alterations of brain metabolism were determined by taking into consideration the changes of the arterio-venous oxygen difference and blood flow. An average increase of 32 per cent in cerebral metabolism was thus revealed as a result of the administration of thyroid. This increase in cerebral metabolism affords a basis for alterations in the cerebral electrical potentials and psychological reactions of these patients. The electroencephalograms disclosed a rise of the energy level in certain frequency ranges. Psychologically, improvement was either absent or of questionable significance in any of the higher processes. The greatest change was that of an acceleration of psychological activity, an acceleration made possible by the increased energy expenditures stimulated by thyroid medication.

|Irish Election Study 2006/7
|This study will complete an unprecedented inter-election panel study of the Irish electorate with a random sample, face-to-face survey of 1800 members of the electorate after the next general election, expected in 2006 or 2007. The study will build on the longtitudinal core of the PRTLI funded panel study started after the 2002 election , with waves in 2002 [2,600 cases] , 2003, 2004 [approx 1,000 cases each] and 2005/6. Those respondents will be reinterviewed along with a top-up of new cases to ensure the 2006/7 wave will also be representative of the 2006/7 electorate. This project provides a unique vehicle for research on the electoral process. Hence we will consult the larger political studies community about the content of the questionnaire. The survey will carry several separate but interelated projects, most notably the third module from the Comparative Studies of Electoral Systems (CSES) project [www.cses.org], as well as others which may require and attract additional funding. While the immediate focus of the study will be to establish why people vote as they do in this particular election, the primary research aim will be to establish a original dataset of high quality through which scholars of electoral behaviour in general and Irish elections in particular can explore the attitudinal, sociological and evaluative bases of political stability and political change. To date only cross-sectional data has been available and this has severely handicapped analyses. For this reason, the completion of a panel study to encompass two general elections, as well as intervening local and European elections, provides an invaluable piece of research infrastructure for the analysis of political change in the electorate. This is critical to the examination of the theoretical and empirical foundations of representative democracy and will be used widely by the international community of scholars.
