Nikon D800E (EEE) hunters, this is for you! The Nikon D800E body only kit, at its starting price of $3300, is shown as in-stock at Amazon by Amazon itself! (earlier today it had a September-29-2012 estimate). [latest blog-post update: 9/28/12 at 12:31am ET]
On top of that, Amazon is running a limited time promotion where you will _automatically_ receive 2% back in the form of promotional Amazon.com credit (2% of $3300 = $66). [see terms & conditions]
For a refresher on the D800E, check its short list of completed reviews. Its parallel/sister model, the D800, has a lot more reviews.
Both the D800E and the D800 are eligible for the optional and stackable Nikon Lens Instant Rebates.

Revin Fellows, a longtime community activist in Aurora who claims to be related to Boyd, pointed out a strange irony.
Also during that stretch of warm days, Willy, a Pomeranian Papillon mix, was fatally attacked at Montrose Beach Dog Park by a pit pull.
The pit bull owner refused to identify himself and left the scene, but witnesses snapped his photograph. After the photograph was circulated at other pet parks, the officer was identified as a Chicago Police officer. The officer was immediately suspended for not making notification within 24 hours after his dog mauled Willy, and for failing to foot the $5,700 veterinary bill.
"That just says to me that these officials care more about a dog than they do a young black woman who was shot dead in the street," Fellows told me.
Waiting for the wheels of justice to start rolling is "very, very tough," Sutton lamented.
"It's a lot to expect the community to work with police, but they cannot even work with us in our time of need.""

Name Day

A buyer of Mortgage Bank's commercial part four packages has been found
The decision to sell the Mortgage Bank's commercial part is a successive continuation of the Cabinet of Ministers (CoM) decision of 2009 to stop commercial activities of the Mortgage Bank and to focus only on tasks of the development institution.
The joint-stock company "Swedbank" expressed the best offer for three commercial parts, including commercial loans to individuals and legal persons, payment and deposit services, as well as the leasing company.
But the best offer for the 2nd tier pension plan management package was expressed by the company "SEB Wealth Management" of the joint-stock company "SEB banka" group. Thus contracts on purchasing of respective commercial parts will be concluded with the joint-stock company "Swedbank" and "SEB Wealth Management".
More than 100 potential applicants were addressed during the buyer selection process. The main selection criteria were the best possible price, as well as reputation and stability. Involved parties – the Ministry of Finance, consultant "SEB Enskilda" and the Mortgage Bank have done their best to conclude the best and the most advantageous transaction in the current economic situation in order to provide further banking services to clients of the Mortgage Bank's commercial part at the highest possible level.
Today contracts were signed and within coming six months the client transition process will implemented that is said to be completed by the end of the year. Therefore now it is not yet possible to say exact final sum of transactions.
It will be possible after transactions will be concluded completely – transition of clients to new banks by the end of this year, as well as making the decision on remaining two commercial asset packages that are still being discussed with investors. Currently evaluation of assets of these packages is underway so that a decision could be made whether it is advantageous for the state to keep these assets or sell them.
Due to the planned sale of the commercial part bank's assets will be re-evaluated. In order to meet capital indicators the bank's capital with consent of the Saeima was increased by 25 million lats. These funds are necessary for successful implementation of the transition process and sale of all commercial assets. The Saeima decision to increase the bank's capital does not have any impact on the annual budget deficit because these funds were planned already in the last year's budget.
Now and during the whole transition process the Mortgage Bank continues to act in a stable and safe way providing services to clients in the commercial segment, as well as implementing national development programmes.
The Mortgage Bank is ready to implement the commercial part sale process ensuring fulfilment of all contractual obligations and availability of services to clients. The transition of clients to new banks was organized during a long enough period time. Clients will receive information about all necessary actions individually by mail.
The transformation of the Mortgage Bank is aimed at establishing a development institution to implement state aid programmes through efficient use of the Mortgage Bank's infrastructure, intellectual and financial potential, transformation of the bank in a way that is advantageous to the state and at the same time ensuring continuity of the implementation of state aid programmes.
During the transformation process activities of the Mortgage Bank are focused on important economic directions – financing of small and medium-size enterprises, promotion of new enterprises, development of infrastructure and other national development projects within the framework of CoM approved programmes.
Since the development institution has mainly a complementary role and it does not have to compete with other market participants, the Mortgage Bank's part that is not directly linked with performing development functions, namely, the commercial part, will be developed in the private sector.
The transformation of the Mortgage Bank is done according to the concept of the CoM approved on November 24, 2009 on the transformation of the state joint-stock company "Mortgage and Land Bank of Latvia" into a development bank and the Mortgage Bank transformation plan, which was considered on April 12, 2012 and envisages separation of the bank's commercial part, which is not connected with performing development functions.

At first, Hussie introduced characters, and then later, after much character development, killed them.
After a while, this became unsatisfying. It was too simple, too straightforward. Things needed to be more meta. So he began introducing new characters that were already dead.
This put him at ease for a short time, but he quickly became restless. The next step was to bring back the ghosts of some of the characters that he had previously killed, and then kill them again.
But this was just more of the same. Double-killing characters was certainly a new twist, but in the end, wasn't that just the same thing he had done in the beginning — introducing characters and then killing them?
He needed something new.
One day, an idea came to him while looking at a picture of fifty Nepeta cosplayers that someone had sent him. He could… introduce relationships that were already dead! Davesprite/Jade, bam! Canon-but-they-broke-up! DeadJohn/Vriska? Sure! Canon-but-they-broke-up, with DeadJohn re-killed as extra garnish!

While other financial and insurance companies flirted with collapse, USAA's net worth grew from $14.6 billion in 2008 to $19.3 billion in 2011. And it has continued lending money while other banks have tightened their loan operations despite billions in government funding to encourage liquidity. It has a free checking account, has been at the forefront of electronic banking, and reimburses up to $15 in other banks' ATM fees. Its credit rates are 43 percent lower than the national average.
The firm's structure is one of its most interesting attributes. Unlike nearly every other Fortune 500 company, USAA is not a corporation. It is an inter-insurance exchange made up of the people who have taken out policies with the firm. As a group, they are insured by each other and simultaneously own the company's assets. Instead of paying stockholders, USAA distributes its profits to its members. In 2010, it distributed $1.3 billion.

Yesterday we took a look at what we have been doing over the past 40 years. Now we take a look at what we will be doing over the rest of the 21st century. It's a real shocker to look at: All policy scenarios now require an immediate trend breach – this is the biggest challenge mankind has ever faced:
IPCC graph of the day: how we doubled fossil CO2 emissions in 40 years time
And now it has to go sharply down. To summarise the entire IPCC WG3 report on climate mitigation:
The world temperature 'plateau graph' that the 2014-2015 El Niño will break
This is the graph of the world's best-established temperature dataset, of NASA GISS. It shows another good representation of the 1997-1998 El Niño world average temperature peak.
Recent years have been net influenced by La Niña state, as shown in this graph – although also the 2005 and 2010 temperature records have been provoked by short/weak El Niño events, taking place in late 2004 and late 2009. From 2010 La Niña has dominated. This will change.
A new 'super El Niño' would peak ~0.2 Celsius above the one in this graph
Shown below is a graph of the satellite-derived University of Alabama global temperature dataset (those fellows that each year in early January beat NOAA/NASA/MetOffice/WMO etc by being the first to say 'how warm it was'). Clearly visible is the peak of the powerful 1997-1998 El Niño:
This image shows it all. El Niño from May, intensifying over 2014
The below image was released by NOAA yesterday, 7 April 2014. It shows the NCEP climate model is anticipating the arrival of this Kelvin wave – and that El Niño will surface around May 2014 and likely intensify during the boreal summer and autumn:
2014-2015 world temperature records: where will all the extra heat go? A 6-month outlook
We expect a new global average temperature record for 2014 to be broken in 2015. Where will all the extra heat go?
Two hottest years ever: 2014 will set new world temperature record – and 2015 will break it
El Niño Southern Oscillation index: duration and intensity of La Niña and El Niño years. El Niño is usually defined as a positive temperature anomaly in the east and central tropical Pacific. Another way to express the climate phenomenon is through an index (Southern Oscillation index) for air pressure difference across the equatorial Pacific – with relatively high pressure in the West and low pressure (because of increased convection over warm water) in the East typical for El Niño. The above graph uses that alternative indicator – and it holds a clue to our temperature predictions for 2014 and 2015: hottest year on record, followed by the hottestest year on record…
A weak or a strong El Niño ahead? Hint: we live in a 3D world
If we take another look at the IRI ensemble forecast for El Niño some members show a clear and speedy rise in East Pacific tropical ocean temperatures. Before we conclude 'El Niño ahead' during northern hemisphere summer and autumn let's not ignore that a handful* of the 23 climate models show only a weak increase in water temperatures, staying below the official El Niño threshold (+0.5C).
[*) We all know an average hand can hold around 7 climate models – which means some 70 percent of models say El Niño, whereas 30 percent says somewhat warmer (up to half a degree), but still neutral ENSO.]
Well then, is there any way of telling which of the climate models may be more inclined to predict actual climatic events for upcoming months? Yes, probably there is:

guitars, keyboards, drums, Tibetan bells and tambourine.
"Poet, mystic, musician, and Pink Floyd fan Kavi Jezzi Hockaday played guitar in various bands around London before a love affair with his yoga teacher led to jamming in her yoga studio for trance workouts. Breath of Fire is a fine example of Kavi's gift: a dynamic workout soundtrack for kundalini yoga. This form of the practice focuses on the power of the breath to awaken the "slumbering serpent" at the base of the spine, who, with the power of the breath of fire, climbs the chakras to the crown, providing a renewed sense of energy and inner glow.
The awakening of the serpent is a blessing, but it requires care and maintenance; now that you have an awake manifestation of divine energy lighting up your spine, you need to dance, you need to move, you need to love, you need to breathe. With his nylon-string guitar, keyboards, drums, and tambourine, Kavi awakens that energy, harnesses it, employs it, and gently incorporates it into your overall structure, laying down a focused but spacious groove with a slow rise to full-dance workout and back down into trance and meditation.
Opening track "Awakening the Serpent" starts out slow and mellow with tribal drums and growling didgeridoo-level monk chanting. It's a divine call to the kundalini energy slumbering at the base of the spine, bidding the force to rise once again. Rise it does, with every new beat an increased feeling of joy buzzes along the spine. "Everything Is Energy" takes it to the next level, providing a stimulating workout. Things get spaceward and rocking in "Alchemy of Breath," with some of Kavi's Pink Floyd roots coming through in the otherworldly yowling of his electric guitar solo.
Thank goodness Kavi found that London yoga studio and his true calling: to "spread love and reconnect ourselves with our divine nature." His music is a boon to slumbering energy serpents everywhere. Don't be afraid to bring Breath of Fire to your yoga teacher, or play it at home and breathe the fire while doing the dishes or straightening the living room. And when things have calmed down into that final breathtaking track of drones and synthesizer voices, "Moving Beyond," don't be afraid to let your whole body shudder with relief. As the simple glacial drones overlap, let the last of the pent-up toxins drain in a torrent of grateful tears. Kavi and his serpentine guitar licks and infectious beats will always be there when you're ready to stir the embers and start the dance all over again."
"An ode to music's power to move us to dance, Kavi's Breath of Fire is an energizing and sensual collection of six tracks designed to get the listener up and moving to the beat. Kavi plays acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, percussion, Tibetan bells, and vocal samples; and the BPM (beats per minute) range from midtempo to blistering, the energy level fluctuating in intensity. Fiery, pseudo-flamenco guitars merge with percolating beats on "Kundalini Power," while funky rhythms propel "Alchemy of Breath" and tropical influences pepper "Everything Is Energy." "Moving Beyond" brings things to a sedate and soothing conclusion. Breath of Fire will breathe new life into your store's atmosphere."

Royal Mail stamp of approval for St Ives
Date Added: Tue 21 September 2010
20 September 2010 St Ives Service Graphics division earned plaudits from Royal Mail recently for its contribution to a successful exhibit at the Festival of Stamps. St Ives printed, finished and installed graphics for Royal Mails stand at the eight-day event located at the Business Design Centre, Islington.
The graphics for the Festival of Stamps certainly had the wow factor and made a big impact at the show. In fact we will be re-using the majority at Royal Mail offices across the country; we even had several enquiries from customers about purchasing them at the show, states Dick Keeling, head of exhibitions at Royal Mail, The Service Graphics team put in a lot of effort from start to finish. We encountered some obstacles along the way but they helped to overcome these challenges in order to complete the stand installation on time and to a high standard. Overall, Royal Mail had a very successful show in terms of the goals we had set, particularly stand sales, with the stand graphics generating a lot of interest from visitors.
Service Graphics collaborated with Kew-based designers Association of Ideas and stand contractor Exib, Wembley, to complete the exhibition stand, consulting on the best printing processes and materials to maximise the appearance of the stand, whilst also taking practical and economical concerns into consideration.
The Royal Mail stand displayed 23 cut-to-shape stamp graphics, produced by Service Graphics. Sized up to 2900mm wide by 1800mm high, the stamp graphics were printed direct onto large format substrates to reduce mounting requirements, and then underwent digital die cut finishing to create a perforated stamp edge. There were also numerous graphics produced using vinyl cut and lambda print.
Scott King, Service Graphics sales director adds, We had six operatives on site for two days completing the install with scissor lifts. Royal Mails stand looked fantastic once completed and the attention it received from visitors demonstrated that high-quality, eye-catching exhibition graphics can contribute to the ROI of a show.
St Ives has an excellent range of services from all the production processes to overall project management. Its convenient for us because we dont need to source and manage numerous suppliers, and also we can be confident that were using the very best printing, finishing and installation methods for the application, concludes Keeling.
To illustrate the range of our services, of necessity, we have reproduced customers' registered and unregistered trade marks and representations of their brands. The rights that our customers have in their respective trade marks and brands are fully acknowledged.

I am totally overworked this semester, but one of the things I think about while I'm lying in bed planning my day is what I need to wear (largely work/no work dependent), including what sort of scent I'd like to wear. This means I have an itching to expand my sample collection, particularly with the changing weather/seasons/fashions. To that end, I have another review for you, dear reader.
L'Artsan Parfumeur's Dzongkha is described as:
A bewildering fragrance, an invitation to spirituality and an inside journey. Its enveloping trail is unexpected, simultaneously intimate and present. This fragrance speaks to both women and men and tells a unique story on each skin: that of Dzongkha, the language of Bhutan. In the top note of Dzongkha, the freshness of peonies and the pink flavor of lychees vibrate with cardamom. The heart of the fragrance is accompanied by chai notes (spicy tea with milk) that soften the strength of wood where vetiver stands out in the fumes of incense. This intensity is accentuated by cypriol (Indian papyrus) and leather notes. Iris with its powdery bottom note symbolizes both the stony aspect and the softness of the fragrance.The main Dzongkha notes are listed as "Lichee, Cardamom, Peony, Iris, Tea Leaves, Incense." On me it reads as a strongly iris based scent. I do like the way that the incense and tea notes peak through, after the initial application. I smell the peony pretty clearly, too, which adds a little bit of a sweet, flowery aspect I don't normally get in irises. As previously mentioned, I am a *huge* iris fan, so of course I am completely sold on Dzongkha. I fully intend to buy this as well as my long sought after Iris Pallida, also from L'Artisan, which is going to be my law school graduation gift to myself. L'Artisan is sold all over the place, locally and via the internet. To find the closest location to purcahse L'Artisan near you, check L'Artisan's store locator on their official site.

Deborah Grivas Colorful Bracelet 2 2
Love this bracelet Was surprised to see 3 stars on this one (as I am back thinking of purchasing a second). The stones are on the large side as the last reviewer said, but I'm on the tall side and big-boned so wear it all the time. It's elegant and colorful--doesn't look cheap--and it's very comfortable. (I often have to take bracelets off during the day because they bother me--not this one). I also have the necklace--another favorite. July 25, 2014
Big stone It's a beautiful piece. But the stone is too big for my wrist. It is easy slip-on bracelet. Coral Mix orange agate, champagne crystal. Beautiful color. June 19, 2014

- 3/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1/3 cup fresh oregano leaves
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt plus 1/4 teaspoon, divided
- 2 medium bell peppers, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 pound large dry sea scallops (see Tips), patted dry, quartered
- 8 6-inch corn tortillas, heated (see Tips)
- Place parsley, oregano, garlic, 2 tablespoons oil, vinegar, crushed red pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in the pan, add scallops and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the herb sauce to the pan, remove from the heat and stir to coat.
- Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup each scallops and peppers.
Tips & Notes
- Tip: Look for "dry" sea scallops. "Wet" scallops, which have been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate (STP), are not only mushy and less flavorful, but will not brown properly. Some scallops have a small white muscle on the side; remove it before cooking.
- Tip: Warming tortillas prevents them from cracking and breaking. Here are three ways to warm your tortillas: In the oven: Wrap stacks of 8 tortillas in foil; place in a 375°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes. On the stove: Turn a gas or electric burner on high. Using tongs, slide one tortilla at a time over the burner for a few seconds, alternating sides, until it's softened and beginning to char. Cover tortillas to keep warm. In the microwave: Wrap a stack of 8 tortillas in a barely damp, clean kitchen towel (or paper towel); microwave on High for 30 to 45 seconds.

Political parties will have tobear the expenses on inviting star campaigners but in case a candidate shares dais with the star or exhibits his photo or poster with his name, the money spent will be included in his account, Delhi Election Commission said.
Moreover, if star campaigner travels with candidate, then 50 per cent of the travel expenses will be apportioned to the expenditure of candidate.
In case the advertisement for general party propaganda with photo or appeal of the star campaigner is made in the print or the electronic media without any reference to any candidate, expenditure on such general advertisement will be included in the account of the political party.
Political parties will have to communicate the list of their star campaigners to Delhi Chief Electoral Officer within seven days of the poll's notification, which is fixed for November 9, the election Commission said.
The commission has received representation from the political parties suggesting that if any representative of print or electronic media travels with the star-campaigner in his vehicle or helicopter then the travel expenses should not be included in the election expenses of the candidate.
The EC has clarified that if any attendant, security guard or medical attendant of star campaigner or any member of the party, who is not a candidate in the constituency concerned, or any representative of electronic/print media travels with him, then travel expenses of such star campaigner will not be added to the account of candidate provided they do not play any role in election campaign of the candidate.
If the posters, banners, flags, stickers with photo or appeal of the star campaigners without any reference to any particular candidate are used during the elections, the expenditure should be booked to the account of the political party.
If however, the leader happens to be a candidate in any constituency, then the proportionate expenditure on such items, actually used in his constituency, should be accounted for in his election expenses, read the EC's guidelines on expenditure.
The upper limit for expenditure is fixed at Rs. 14 lakh per candidate. The expenditure monitoring will come into effect from November 20.
As per the provisions, each candidate will have to open a separate bank account for making transactions of receipt and payment for election purposes and details of such account will have to be submitted to returning officers at the time of nomination.
To keep a check on expenditure, assistant expenditure observers will maintain a "shadow expenditure register" of each candidate for all expenditures made by candidates and the same would be compared with the expenditure register maintained by the candidates.
A divorce, a jail term, determined foes: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar fighting a lone battle?
The divorce between Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal(U) and a few days of change in residence for Rashtriya Janata Dal's Lalu Prasad – from 10, Circular Road in Patna to the Ranchi jail in Jharkhand – have totally changed the game that is played in Bihar.
Angry with the SP, convinced that the Congress is a losing proposition, unsure of AAP's ability to win, and fearful that Mayawati may ally with the BJP in the future, Muslims have a difficult choice.

Small is the current big thing, and Lincoln has been never one to talk small. They've been all about big cars since the inception of the company mid-1917.
This is about to change.
The introduction of the Lincoln MKC Concept demonstrates that Lincoln is ready and about to jump into the industry's fastest-growing segment: small luxury utility vehicles. Last year alone, this category grew by 60% and has grown by more than 200% in the last four years. This, my friends, is where it's at. In fact, in this relatively short period of time, the small luxury utility segment has crushed all other luxury segments. And this is far from the end, as the segment is expected to continue to expand over the next four years.
The Lincoln MKC Concept is immediately identifiable as a Lincoln in large part thanks to its split-wing grille which has been a Lincoln signature since the famed Zephyr of the 1930s. As it stands, the MKC Concept is muscular and well proportioned. The hood, wheel arches and beltline are the elements to thank for the MKC's proper look.
Dimension-wise, the Lincoln MKC Concept's wheelbase, at 2,717.2 (106,9") is roughly 10cm (4") shorter than that of the 2013 Ford Edge. As well, the MKC is marginally shorter height- and length-wise than the aforementioned Edge. From a width standpoint, they are identical.
The Lincoln MKC Concept's cabin is further proof that Lincoln and Ford are masters at the art of craftsmanship and luxury. High-end materials cover every surface and they include leather, chrome and wood jewelry.
The dashboard is elegant and looks production-ready. This 4-seater Lincoln MKC Concept (more than likely, it will be a 5-seater upon production) features a distinctive push-button gear shift selector, first introduced by Packard and Chrysler right around 1956. The idea is to increase console stowage space.
No real word yet as to what will power the Lincoln MKC Concept, although we guess that the powertrains currently available in the Ford Edge are likely candidates. If Lincoln can keep the weight in check, a 2.0T EcoBoost with AWD sounds very likely. A 3.7L V6, as with the MKZ, makes sense as well.

LOVE THIS SOUP. Had to add extra pepper and also did the slow to boil method, but the vinegar just adds this awesome flavor. The chicken thighs are not to be replaced by any other cut. AMAZING
Chicken and White Bean Soup
Photo: John Autry; Styling: Cindy Barr
Cannellini beans, native to Tuscany, work beautifully in this rustic soup because they hold their shape after simmering in the flavorful broth. Serve with a crusty Italian bread, such as ciabatta, and a salad of bitter greens.

Good news
Two pieces of good news appeared in the Local last week. First, Weavers Way is filling the large hole left in our community by the departure of Caruso's. I'm happy as can be about that and promise to change my old ways and go as natural and co-operative as I can to support them.
The second piece of good news is that the CHCA board apparently got some backbone at the January board meeting and declined to follow the wishes of its leadership to fire the Local's editor.
Over the years I've watched in dismay as leaders of the CHCA have periodically run roughshod not only over their own bylaws but also the laws of humanity by treating the staff of the Local so badly.
What is it that happens to these people? They get power in the CHCA and turn into petty tyrants. It's terribly disillusioning. But now there seems to be some push back from within the ranks.
I salute all those board members who thought for themselves. I am grateful for your good sense and courage.
Mary Sue Welsh
Board actions
It is inconceivable to me that the editor of the Chestnut Hill Local came close to being fired by board members who have not advised the readership (or members of CHCA) of their plans, including their intentions and goals in so doing. The Local should be their forum, not the phone mafia or secret meetings.
Firing the editor should not be disguised as an employee evaluation. My message to board members who participated in this despicable act is that you have a duty to explain your actions and then to resign your positions on the board. It is clear you were not acting in the best interest of the Chestnut Hill community.
David J. Fielding
Through the LaSalle Nonprofit Center, I am certified in board leadership and nonprofit management. So, having read letters in last week's Local written by some people who were not present at the CHCA board meeting and certainly not at any executive sessions (Sessions at which board members agree to respect the privacy and sensitivity of a given issue by keeping their mouths shut.), I am dumbfounded that we have letter writers who are comfortable penning their outrage based on hearsay, and I am more than upset that I serve among board members who have violated the trust of their fellow board members by squawking on their cell phones and e-mail chains about the content of two of these board sessions.
Kids might call these dishonorable, untrustworthy board members "tattletales." The Mafia would call them "rats." The squawkers are people who asked the community to trust them and support their interests when they ran for the board. They also put the entire organization at legal risk by this irresponsible, self serving behavior. This is community first?

Here we go again
Deer in Fairmount Park have once again been targeted for assassination. This winter will mark 11 years that killing professionals will have plied their deadly trade. Thus far, a reported 702 deer have been wiped out in the Wissahickon alone. Before the first shot was ever fired, 159 deer were reported observed in the park. Think about the numbers. You're seeing what's called compensatory rebound. This is a biological response to a reduction in deer numbers.
Trust me readers, this will never end. An officer with The Pennsylvania Game Commission told me that the park's goal of 30 deer would never be reached.
That aside, there's a public safety concern that I've expressed to the print media, Mayor Nutter, Fairmount Park Commission, Philadelphia Police Department, City Council and United States Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services (deer killers).
The private contractor who first killed deer in the Wissahickon in 1999 wanted the state of Iowa to amend a state law that would have all but eliminated the safety zone in Iowa City. Has there been a change here allowing the USDA deer killers to discharge high-powered rifles very close to private homes? This, in fact, has happened.
Further, the public believes the assertion that all deer were killed within park boundaries without exception — NOT SO. When I confronted The Fairmount Park Commission, there was a very angry response, which was most telling. I was told that the location of park boundaries was open to interpretation. Really! I am dissatisfied with the lack of genuine interest and concern regarding this matter.
People have been all too receptive and passive. They're blissfully content with the status quo, unwilling to take an honest look at this issue. Those with the power have done a good job of keeping an unsuspecting and trusting public in a whirlpool of deception.
Lastly, how can the cost of killing deer be justified given the current economic climate which has necessitated cutbacks in spending?

I was so happy to learn that the Magarity parcel was purchased by Bowman Properties and that Richard Snowden was pursuing "several options" for the property.
I'm optimistic that it won't take Bowman too long to find a tenant that's a "good fit" and is "consistent with and complementary to other business along the Avenue." It's Bowman-owned and it's empty, so that already makes it a "good fit" with other properties on the Avenue. The only thing missing is the (Aesthetics Committee approved?) brown paper on the windows to make it consistent and complementary.
As one of Forbes' seven best urban neighborhoods in the nation, I can only imagine the others are green with envy and out looking for their own civic-minded landlord who has only their interests at heart. Good luck to the rest of the country, we already have the best here.
Judy Muenzberg
Shovel that sidewalk
For those of us who regularly traverse the sidewalks of Chestnut Hill on foot, winter can be very dicey. Especially when you're on your way to the R8 or the Library or one of the shops on the Avenue and you have to pick your way across numerous neighborhood sidewalks that haven't seen a shovel all winter.
If you shouldn't shovel because of age or medical reasons, hey. I understand. That would be foolish, so try a younger friend or neighbor and offer them lunch at McNally's or dinner at the Grill or simply your honest appreciation and thanks.
On snow days when schools are closed (read: big snow) I'll bet you can even find a youngster willing to shovel for money. Or ask around. I know there are folks who are looking for work and will shovel a sidewalk and drive for cash.
I'm not asking anyone to risk injury or take a chance with his or her health shoveling. I'm asking you find a way to clear the walk in front of your home and make a snowy day in Chestnut Hill kind of picturesque instead of kind of hazardous.

MARC ANTHONY just debuted his new girlfriend on Facebook, and she's no backup dancer. Eat your heart out, JENNIFER LOPEZ!
After J.Lo went and paraded her new boy toy backup dancer Casper Smart around town, and even allowed him to chauffeur her and Marc Anthony's twins around in her Bentley (much to her estranged husband's ire), Marc Anthony decided to get some ass of his own… in the person of 24-year-old Venezuelan model, Shannon de Lima…
The 43-year-old Puerto Rican singer let the whole world know he'd moved on and posted this photo on his Facebook wall giving his new squeeze, a runner up for Miss Earth Venezuela 2005, an airtight hug and kiss, with the caption…
In fact, as a testament to how serious his relationship with de Lima has become, friends and family have posted a number of congratulatory messages to the new couple.
Even his adopted son, Chase Muniz, who'd been "unfollowed" by soon-to-be-former-stepmom J.Lo, expressed his joy for his dad on Twitter:
"My dad is happy im happy. Love you dad!!!!!!"
Looks like dad is head over heels himself because…
"A mi @Shadelima mi estatua de libertad. Besos bebe." (To Shannon, my status of liberty. Kisses baby!)
he sent de Lima on his Twitter account.
Check out photos of Marc Anthony's new love below. Can she give J.Lo's butt a run for her money?

weightloss for a 7 yo
how would you guys approach a little kid that needed to lose a bit of weight?
Gigi has always been a solidly built kid. she eats alot for a kid her age but she's also very active. usually right before a growth spurt she'll put on a little extra pudge then get taller and go back to her usual build.
this time though she's not getting any taller, she's just gaining weight. she's got quite the belly goin' now. since the move she has about 3 less months out of the year that she can go play outside and her sisters are the pickiest eaters i've ever come across so i've had to replace some of our healthy faves with less healthy options so they will eat. this is also about the age where several women in my family started to pack on the pounds and i would really like it if Gigi didnt have to go through school as the fat kid.
i dont want to put that in her head, that's she's fat and she needs to lose weight but if she could get back closer to the general build she was at the begining of this school year it would be better for her all around, esp considering the daily tears and fits over jeans that are too long for her.
