That somehow those guys are going to Hold Quinn and Long on check?
If Sam lights that D on fire then WOW. I'll have a heart attack on the spot.
This will be a sloppy game, and if I know our offence so far this year, we will be playcalled into a bunch of passes and leave our effective run game behind once again...
You have a chanced of wining this guys, you are strong in all the right places to beat us...

I would think it would be Bears fans who would be the ones with the bad feeling about our pass rush. With their OTs, the way teams have gotten into Gabe Carimi's head, and the turnstile that he has been. They gave up 7 sacks last week, heck they gave up 2 to the Colts when they were throttling them.
I dont think we will be racking up 7 like the Packers did in Lambeau, but there will be constant pressure from all directions. Especially if we start dialing up the blitz a bit more.

I don't really care if Fletcher drops picks if he keeps limiting WRs the way he has.
I do. It cost three points against Detroit and it was a missed opportunity to close out the Redskins yesterday. That was a 6 point play if he catches it.
Like I said, he has been playing well but you have to make the splash plays when the opportunity presents itself.
And we have no idea of any other CB on our team would have even been in position to make that play. And he also hasn't cost us 6 points yet. Meaning he hasn't given up a TD.
Right, but he cost us 3 points with the first drop, and then 6 points with the second. I'm glad he is on our team, I wasn't saying he is bad, just that guys from the new regime have been making those plays.
He didn't cost us 6 points. The only reason we had a chance at 6 points was because he was doing such a good job and even then, it was a tough catch. He had to reach behind him on a ball that had a lot of heat on it.
That's like saying D-Rich cost us 6 points because he didn't make the safety miss at the end of that run...
And as much as I love Janoris, he got absolutely burnt by Hankerson on Sunday so I guess it depends on what you're wanting. I say, let Janoris and Cortland be aggressive ball-hawks while Bradley continues to consistently limit the guys he faces.
Except D-Rich had an opposing player to contend with, Fletcher's drops were his responsibility alone, so no, it isn't like saying that.
All I'am saying is that he has dropped 2 picks that could have been major positive plays for us, that's it.
I didn't compare him to Jenkins or D-Rich, those were your arguments, not mine.
We are talking about a veteran corner, his solid coverage on other plays does not negate his issues with making those plays as I am not arguing net impact.

Complaining about a Defensive Back not hanging onto a possible Interception is just ridiculous. Thats like being mad at a Halfback for not completing a pass, or a Lineman not making a first down on a Fumble-ruski. He is playing Corner BECAUSE he doesnt have good Hands, if he did they would have had him at WR.
Its already a positive play, a pass defended/knocked down, that just doesnt result in the possible even better play.
If Fletch doesnt knock the one down against Detroit its 6 points in the back of the end-zone, he saved a TD.

The Bears defense will be looking at its second No. 1-overall draft choice in the span of three weeks when they get together with St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford.
The first was Andrew Luck. The Bears took care of him and his Indianapolis Colts in game one.
The Colts were a 2-14 team last season. The Rams also were 2-14 in 2011. This one is different, however.
Right now the Rams are simply better on offense than the Bears. And thats without adding a couple marquee wide receivers in the offseason and with an offensive line that has two starters (center Scott Wells, left tackle Rodger Saffold) out with injuries.
The Rams (1-1) are a top-10 offense in overall yardage, sixth in rushing, 11th in passing. All three are higher than the rankings for the Bears (1-1).
Bradford has a passer rating of 112.4, third in the NFL. Jay Cutler (58.5) is ahead of only Cleveland rookie Brandon Weeden and Arizonas John Skelton.
Bradford is the No. 2 fourth-quarter passer; Cutler is 17th. Bradford is No. 1 in the NFC in third-down passing (125.2); Cutler ranks 15th at a jaw-droppingly bad 44.7.
The Rams had the opportunity to stay at No. 2 in this years draft and select Robert Griffin III. They liked what they had in Bradford, traded the pick to the Redskins, and Bradford outplayed Griffin when the Rams defeated Washington.
Coach Lovie Smith made the obvious declaration over what he likes a quarterback:
I like Jay Cutler and everything that he is, Smith said in the course of defending Cutler after the latters meltdown in Green Bay. Im not trying to trade any of our players. The week before, we didnt hear an awful lot of this stuff. We were talking about how good we were and how we were playing, so well get back to that where the focus is on the play on the football
Holly crap.. When was the last time we were that high of a octane offense lol? Sam Bradford is a GOT DAM machine right now.

I wouldn't blame him. These refs are allowing for a lot more contact to be had with the wide receivers and Finnegan is certainly not the type of guy to shy away from contact, he rather embraces it. It also allows him to get into their heads, ala Josh Morgan.

I kinda agree with the Fletcher negativity. He's been shutting down everyone he's covered, there's no doubt about that. But if he wants to hit the next level, he needs to start taking advantage of his opportunities. He has dropped two INT's so far this year. If he can turn those bad throws into turnovers, he can turn into a GREAT corner.
This is a game of turnovers. If your team wins the turnover battle, most likely you win the game.

Complaining? Read the OP.
There is however, a large difference between Fletcher's
(it wasn't just one) and the examples you gave. The difference is that there is a term "splash plays." Some people refer to this as being clutch, or perhaps the player in question as being a "difference maker." In the examples you gave, players were required or asked to do something not traditionally done in their role with the team. Catching a pass is certainly in a defensive back's job description. Especially considering he's a damn professional.
The lineman who scooped up the fumble had already made the important part of the play. The half back throwing an errant pass does not change the larger dynamic of the game.
That is unless it is intercepted, in which case you would be upset. (Because they are generally told not to throw unless there is a guy wide open)
Those were terrible examples to try and relate if you paid any attention at all to what I said my observation was in the first place.

United Nations: Boston got what it deserved
UN Human Rights Council "expert" Richard Falk has published a statement saying Bostonians got what they deserved in last week's terror attack. He quotes W.H. Auden to make his point: "to whom evil is done/do evil in return."
Richard Falk is the UN's "Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967." He has held the post since 2008, despite exposure as a 9/11 conspiracy theorist.
In his latest rant, published online on April 21, 2013 by foreignpolicyjournal.com Falk repeats the libel that prior to 9/11 President George W. Bush was seeking a "pretext" for war, and that anything Israel is the opposite of "justice and peace."
And then he attacks Bostonians head-on. The police action in Boston was a "hysterical dragnet." Boston's dead were "canaries" that "have to die" because of America's "fantasy of global domination."

A JOBLESS young dad who attempted to send a Hampshire job centre up in flames after watching rioting in London on TV has been jailed for three-and-a-half years.
Police said Tobias Hotston-Clarke threatened to spark copycat riots in Southampton when he launched an late night arson attack on the public building where he was picking up dole money.
Hampshire Constabulary at the time had been desperately seeking to reassure the public that the streets remained safe as rumours spread on Internet sites that rioting was about to break out in the county. It spread from London to north-west England and the Midlands in the days that followed.
Hotston-Clarke, 20, smashed a side window to the job centre in Bernard Street with a rock and splashed petrol from a can onto the carpet which he attempted to set alight with two cigarettes, a court heard.
But the wet petrol put out the cigarettes.
The break-in was discovered the following morning by a passer-by.
Police quickly arrested Hotston- Clarke after the cigarette butts revealed DNA that matched Clarke's.
Hotston-Clarke, of Cecil Avenue, Southampton, was found guilty of attempted arson at Southampton Crown Court.
He claimed he had been at his pregnant girlfriend's but had gone out late at night to get a drink.
In mitigation, his lawyer, David Reid, said it was "something of a half-hearted attempt" that had caused "low level damage".
"A more concerted effort could've been made if he was intent on sending the building up in flames," he said.
Mr Reid said Hotston-Clarke had been taking courses while on remand in prison and wanted to become a good father to his newly born son.
Passing sentence Judge Peter Henry told Hotston-Clarke: "Those were determined efforts to try to light a fire. Your intention was to cause major disruption to a public facility where unemployed people are given the opportunity to find employment or obtain job seeker's allowance. That was a facility that you yourself were using. It's pure luck that no severe damage was caused."
Judge Henry added Hotson Clarke had admitted watching rioting in London on TV, where youths were setting fire to buildings and looting.
"The proper inference to draw was you were influenced by that and you went out that night motivated by what you had seen. You wanted to play your part causing similar disruption in this city and that makes this a serious matter,"
he said.
Detective Constable Chris Bradford said: "This was in the heat of the riots.
Hampshire Constabulary was putting extra resources on in the city and in the middle of it Clarke comes along and tries to set alight to one of the biggest public buildings in the city which could have become a focus for rioting in the city."

|About Us|Contact Us
|Home > Public Education > Home Safety > Seasonal Tips > August
Know When to Make the Call
When you call, you need to know what to expect. In the City of Seattle when you call 911 the first person you talk to is a police dispatcher. This person will ask what type of emergency you are having. If you need fire or medical help, you will be connected with a Fire Department dispatcher who will begin by asking you several questions. You will be asked your name, address, phone number, and to describe the emergency fully.
Try to remain calm and answer the dispatcher's questions in the order they are asked. While you are answering questions, emergency units are responding to your location. Be sure to stay on the line and answer all of the questions the dispatcher asks. Don't hang up until told to do so, unless a threat to your safety requires you to leave.
It is important to talk with children about what an emergency is and how to call 911. Affix 911 stickers to every phone in your home with your address on them. In an emergency it can be surprising what information we forget. These stickers are also helpful to any guest who has to call 911.

When Susie and Jonathan Sachs started looking for a new home about five years ago, the couple knew they wanted to stay in Ladue. While Jonathan, who works at CSI Leasing, is from Atlanta; Susie, a stay-at-home mom, is from the area and attended Ladue H.S. With three children—Rebecca, 10; Jessica, 8; and Andrew, 2—the family appreciates the high quality of the Ladue School District, as well as the closeness of their preferred shops and restaurants. Susie recently spoke with LN to discuss more about her favorite aspects of the community.
What is the best-kept secret in Ladue?
I have been going to Monteleone's Fine Tailoring in the Schnucks Plaza at Clayton Road and Lindbergh Blvd. ever since I was young. I think it's a place that not as many people know about, and they just do a great job.
What are some of your favorite places in town?
We love Lester's—it's so quick, convenient and very kid-friendly—and in the summer, we like to walk to Chill or Baskin Robbins to get ice cream. I also enjoy the small boutiques like MACS Designs, where you can get some really unique blouses and shirts, or Vie for upscale items for special occasions. And I love Schnarr's Hardware—they have such great service and I want to support the family-owned businesses.
What is your family's favorite neighborhood tradition?
They just brought this back last year after many years, but for homecoming this past October, Ladue High School held a parade through the neighborhoods from the middle school to the high school, and we participated, which was so much fun. I was a Ladue cheerleader and my daughter got to wear my old jacket in the parade.
Neighborhood Notes
Sally Stephen, Dielmann Sotheby's International Realty
To start, Ladue is in a prime location with great highway access and it's easy to get anywhere. There's also its unique character—there is nowhere else like Ladue in St. Louis. It has maintained the small-town feel with boutiques instead of big malls or stores, and I also believe that the quality of life is superior. The schools are excellent and people who have children gravitate toward Ladue because of its reputation.

SitePoint Members,I'm having difficulty opening an MP4 file. Is there software designed to open troublesome MP4 files?
I couldn't really tell you for sure, but I know that when I have trouble opening video files, I usually do one of two things, or both:
I download and install the K-Lite mega codec pack (or some other codec bundle to make sure I have as many as possible to work with).
use eRightSoft Super to convert the file to another format and then view it. Be warned though: Just in case you want to download it yourself and you have any trouble finding it on their website, look for a link with the text "Download SUPER © setup file". I swear I've wasted tons of time in the past just trying to find the actual download link and ended up going from page to page to page clicking on ads and other stuff. The correct link will trigger a download of a file called "SUPERSetup.exe" without directing you away from their site.
Hey Chris!
How did it work out? Got through?
I know there's also a really good (though paid) software called Magic Video Converter that can change anything into anything, so you can open it up to edit.
And, of course, for playback, VLC Player seems to open anything too. And that's a freebie.
Seconded. Because of this video player, you really don't need to mess with installing codec packs anymore.
I ended up using FLV. Not sure where I got it from. It even opens WEBM (sp?) files. Used some tools from bleepingcomputer.com to remove adware it installed on my site (ADSSpy, AdwCleaner, Roguekiller)
Opening MP4 File just Download the free VLC player. Just google "VLC Player" and you will get there. I use it and it opens almost any file type. Good Luck!
My local cumputer shop recommended them. I downloaded it and it came with a ton of additional programs that made a mess of my computer. Fortunately I knew about bleeping beforehand and had their Rkill program on my computer and their Malware Bytes program, but I still needed help from their AdsSpy program, AdwCleaner program, and RogueKill program - all free fortunately. I don't ask that shop for help anymore.
It sounds like you visited a 3rd-party site serving malware, or a fake site masquerading as the VLC site. VLC is a legitimate free, open-source application without any extra bundled software/adware/malware.
Hi Chris.

4470 Cerrillos Rd.
Directions Santa Fe, NM 87507
Northern New Mexico's Hometown Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Dealer
There's no two ways about it. We spend a lot of time in the car. Many of us with a two-hour, or longer, commute per day. Doesn't it stand to reason then, that instead of getting sucked into the same mundane routine, it would be better to upshift your ride with a new Dodge, Chrysler, RAM, Jeep, FIAT or used car from Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT of Santa Fe?
What makes the new 2017-2018 Dodge, Chrysler, RAM, Jeep and FIAT inventory at our Santa Fe dealership so special? To be honest, it's not just the models themselves (i.e., the Dodge Journey, Chrysler 300, Chrysler Pacifica, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ram 1500) and all of the safety-, convenience-, comfort-, and connectivity- features they offer. Rather it's the two pillars on which Dodge, Chrysler, RAM, Jeep and FIAT have built their names: integrity and reliability. In a nutshell, that's what initially drives people to 4470 Cerrillos Rd. Santa Fe, New Mexico, and part of what keeps them coming back the next time they're in the market for a new car.
Of course, you don't have to buy a new car at our dealership. You can also find an entire collection of like-new used cars in Santa Fe handpicked to satisfy different styles and performance preferences. As different as one used car might be from another; they all promise confidence. And, this means more than looking younger than their years. Via our thorough inspections, they've proven they can go the distance.
Most new and used car buyers require financing to purchase a vehicle. Unlike most Dodge, Chrysler, RAM, Jeep and FIAT and used car dealerships, Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT of Santa Fe, however, fights hard to get each and every one of our customers the rates they need to transform their new or used car dream into a reality.
And, while they're busy crunching numbers and negotiating with banks, the our dealership's Finance team in Santa Fe, New Mexico still takes the time to deliver paramount service. They may be a team of numbers people, but each of them is a people person too.
Aiming to make your life as easy as possible and offer everything you could need for your vehicle under one roof, we also offers a state-of-the-art Dodge, Chrysler, RAM, Jeep and FIAT service center and - for the do-it-yourself types - a comprehensive parts shop.
Perhaps most valuable, though, is our experts' willingness to answer any questions you might have about our products and service or your next weekend project.
Want to find out more about Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT of Santa Fe? We're more than happy to help. Feel free to come by and chat with us, or hit us up on the phone or via our website. We're a friendly and accommodating bunch here, and we always enjoy getting to know drivers in the greater Los Alamos, Los Lunas and Albuquerque areas.

Feds: Guards let inmates run Maryland prison, slept with them
(NEWSER) – Thirteen female guards have been accused of helping the Black Guerilla Family gang run a drug trafficking operation inside a Baltimore jail—and having sex with the inmates running it—according to an indictment unsealed yesterday. The gang's leader, Tavon White, has allegedly fathered five children with four of the accused guards since being locked up in 2009, the Washington Post reports, and two of those guards have gotten tattoos of his name. "The inmates literally took over," an FBI agent said.

Emergency Response
To contact a Region 9 Duty Officer for oil or chemical spills in Arizona, California, Nevada, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands please call (800) 300-2193. This number is staffed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
EPA Region 9's Emergency Response Program - with federal on-scene coordinators (FOSCs) based in San Francisco and Signal Hill, California, and Carson City, Nevada - responds to environmental disasters, hazardous materials releases, and inland oil spills that threaten human health and/or the environment.
Other duties include participating in emergency preparedness drills, and counter-terrorism drills and planning. The EPA's Emergency Response Section assists other federal, state, tribal and local governments when an emergency requires additional resources and expertise.
Reporting Oil or Chemical Spills
The top priority of EPA's emergency response program is to eliminate any danger to the public and the environment posed by hazardous substance releases and oil spills. To help fulfill this mission, EPA requires that the person or organization responsible for a release or spill notify the federal government when the amount reaches a federally-determined limit. EPA has established reporting requirements for hazardous substance releases and oil spills to identify when the federal government should be notified. States also may have separate reporting requirements. All it takes is a single telephone call to the National Response Center at 1 (800) 424-8802.

Mike D'Antoni has never coached a team to an NBA championship, but he made a step in the right direction Thursday by embracing one. | Photos: Lakers introduce D'Antoni at packed news conference | Stories: The return of 'Showtime' | Bonsignore: D'Antoni, Bryant ready to 'just win' | Painter: 'Championship' talk
The new Lakers coach has a roster of All-Stars who were expected to win the title before Mike Brown's miserable 1-4 start got him fired. The championship goal was displayed for a horde of media when D'Antoni ended his team huddle with players saying "Championship!" in unison.
It was a nice introduction to D'Antoni, who despite making plenty of jokes about being under medication for knee surgery, is still operating in reality.
Championship or bust.
"There's no use hiding it," D'Antoni said. "That's our goal. No use doing that. That's not going to work. We know what the goal is. Let's do it."
Talking about it is one thing. D'Antoni has never done it. Kobe Bryant has endorsed the hire -- even though he campaigned for Phil Jackson aggressively -- and wants to win more championships.
Dr. Jerry Buss, Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak hired a man who has never won a championship over a man in Jackson who won 11.
And D'Antoni is facing it head-on. He didn't give excuses about needing time to implement his system or jive with his new stars.
"Maybe I'm not smart enough to know any different," D'Antoni said. "I coached Steve, and I know how fun that is. I've coached Kobe and Dwight. I know the possibilities we have. It's endless. You have to win. If you don't and come close, it's not good enough."
He's smart. It sounds good. It looks good. But there's a flip side.
By embracing no-less-than-a-title is the best strategy, D'Antoni will be on the same hot seat Brown sat on briefly if he doesn't win. This year.
"Our expectation is to win a championship. We have the team and players to do that," D'Antoni said. "Everybody has to stay healthy. It will be fun trying. I can't think of a better group or city or fan base."
And you couldn't have asked for a better start from D'Antoni. He said all the right things.
Championship or bust.


text: Reppetto draws on a lifetime of field experience to tell the stories of the Mafia's twentieth-century leadership, showing how men such as Sam Giancana and John Gotti became household names. Crusaders like Robert Kennedy led concerted--if sometimes sporadic--attacks against organized crime. As the battles between the feds and the Mafia moved from the streets to the courtrooms, Reppetto describes how it came to resemble a conflict between sovereign powers. - amazon.com In the 1980s, the broad legal mandate of the RICO act succeeded in crushing much of the traditional American Mafia. In the Sicilian homeland of La Cosa Nostra, however, the Mafia was anything but finished. Possessed of a power thought to rival that of the Italian state itself, the Sicilian Mafia has waged a war on law and order that has not only left thousands dead, but has created a ripple effect of crime and violence that can be felt in America's cities today. Journalist Longrigg tells the story of Bernardo Provenzano, who rose from humble origins to become the head of the Sicilian Mafia, overseeing a deadly empire of corruption so large in scope, the full sweep of its dark reach has yet to be fully accounted. On the run for over 43 years before his arrest, Provenzano's life typifies the code of the ultimate gangster.--From publisher description. The world of the Mafia and organized crime continues to intrigue many of us much as poisonous snakes do. For those so inclined, this anthology, a kind of Goodfellas sampler, is essential reading...Libary Journal Even in Chicago, a city steeped in mob history and legend, the Family Secrets case was a true spectacle when it made it to court in 2007. A top mob boss, a reputed consigliere, and other high-profile members of the Chicago Outfit were accused in a total of eighteen gangland killings, revealing organized crime's ruthless grip on the city throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Re-creating events from court transcripts, police records, interviews, and notes taken day after day as the story unfolded in court, Coen provides a riveting wide-angle view and one of the best accounts on record of the inner workings of the Chicago syndicate and its control over the city's streets. - amazon.com In this dark, jagged true crime thriller, wily mob head Gregory Scarpa Sr. (alias the "Grim Reaper") secretly steals and kills under FBI protection for decades. When faced with arrest for his own crimes, he betrays his adoring son, Gregory Jr., whom he'd groomed to take his place. Taking the fall for his father out of familial respect and love, the young Scarpa endures decades of maximum security imprisonment by furnishing the feds with detailed intelligence regarding the September 11 attacks and the Oklahoma City bombings. NBA referee Delaney's fascinating account of his prior life as a New Jersey state trooper who infiltrated organized crime will be a must-read for those drawn to Joe Pistone's similar account in Donnie Brasco (or the movie adaptation starring Johnny Depp). In 1975, Delaney was a relative novice in law enforcement when he was tapped by a superior to help build cases against major Mafia families by creating and running a fake business, Alamo Trucking. With the aid of St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times sportswriter Scheiber, Delaney captures perfectly the daily routine and perils of undercover work, and describes the psychological challenges he faced during the three years of Project Alpha: The granite foundation of my self-image... had given way to shifting sands of doubt and worry. While less heralded than Pistone's work, Delaney's achievements—which yielded multiple convictions of members of the Bruno and Genovese families—were significant precursors to the Feds' massive 1980s assault on La Cosa Nostra. Becoming a basketball referee after these proceedings was a return to an early passion of the high school all-state forward and captain of his college team—but the fear, he says, still comes back sometimes. - Publisher's Weekly To underworld kingpins Meyer Lansky and Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Cuba was the greatest hope for the future of American organized crime in the post-Prohibition years. In the 1950s, the Mob—with the corrupt, repressive government of brutal Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista in its pocket—owned Havana's biggest luxury hotels and casinos, launching an unprecedented tourism boom complete with the most lavish entertainment, top-drawer celebrities, gorgeous women, and gambling galore. But Mob dreams collided with those of Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and others who would lead an uprising of the country's disenfranchised against Batista's hated government and its foreign partners—an epic cultural battle that bestselling author T. J. English captures here in all its sexy, decadent, ugly glory. - amazon.com Tony Soprano is your average, middle-aged businessman. Tony's got a dutiful wife, a not-so-dutiful daughter, a son named Anthony Jr. a mother he's trying to coax into a retirement home, a hot-headed uncle, a not-too-secret mistress and a shrink to tell all his secrets, except the one she already knows: Tony's a mob boss. The Corleone Family nearly falls from power in America but rises to observe the passage of rites from father to son. There is a balance between family life and the ugly business of crime in which they are engaged. The story of the glorious, fierce, larger-than-life depiction of mob warlord Al Capone who ruled Prohibition-era Chicago ... and Eliot Ness, the law enforcer, who vowed to bring him down. A classic confrontation between good and evil, and how with the help of a cop named Malone, Ness learns how to beat the mob by shooting fast and shooting first. -MA Blog: asblog Adults's blog

Ship Weight:0.15 Servings:3 Dosage:18 Gram(s) Flavor:Five Spice Hammond's Candies All Natural Candy Cane Five Spice 2 oz. (56 g) (7 Inches Tall) Hammond's Candies All Natural Candy Cane Five Spice are handmade, gluten-free, kosher treats to help celebrate the holidays. Imagine waking up Christmas morning and discovering Santa has left one of Hammond's All Natural Five Spice Gourmet Candy Canes in your stocking! Are there any non-disclosed processing ingredients in your hard candy?Yes, there are two. Hammond's adds about 1 ounce of a partially hydrogenated vegetable oil blend (palm, cottonseed, palm kernel) to each batch of candy as an anti-foaming agent. This oil is completely used up in the manufacturing process. They also use glycerin, 99.5% USP as the carrier for colorants. A 70 pound batch of candy typically has about 50 grams of the color/glycerin blend. Do you use any artificial preservatives in your candy?No. Hammond's does, however, use citric acid, a natural preservative, to give tartness to their fruit flavored hard candies and to help breakdown carbohydrates in some of their soft candies, like chocolate covered cherries. Do you use titanium dioxide for your whites in the hard candy?No. Hammond's simply pulls their candy long enough to mix in tiny air bubbles, which gives the candy its white appearance. They don't even keep titanium dioxide in the building! My hard candy looked beautiful when I bought it, but now it looks runny. Why?Like all hard candies, Hammonds candy is hygroscopic, and begins to degrade when moisture is allowed to enter the sugar structures. They are fortunate in Denver to have relatively low humidity because it keep their candy dry and shiny. Once hard candy is removed from its protective, plastic coating, it will begin to degrade in hot or humid environments. Even in their storage facilities, where the humidity is typically lower than 40%, they experience some degradation. What allergens are in your candy?Hammond's hard candy does not contain any known allergens except certified and exempt (natural) colors (such as red 40, yellow 5). Some people with sulfate allergies have negative reactions to specific salts in certified dyes. Typical food allergens, such as soy and nut proteins, are commonly used in soft candies. Because Hammond's Candies is a small company with a small kitchen, they sometimes share equipment used in making candy with allergens and without. If you have severe allergies to nut, soy, and dairy ingredients, they do not recommend that you eat this candy. What are the ideal storage conditions for my candy?Hard candy should be kept dry! It's not terribly sensitive to temperatures, although if you expose to high heat, it will eventually melt. If you have small pieces of candy, keep them in an airtight, plastic container with the desiccant that came with it. It's best to keep hard candy at room temperature. Don't store these products in the refrigerator! The moisture will ruin the hard candy and bringing chocolates out from the cold into ambient temperatures can cause sugar bloom, which is when moisture condenses on the outside of the candy and causes the fats to separate from the sugars. Keep your candy in its original packaging as long as possible. The air in there is probably drier than your own and will help lengthen the good looks of the candy. What is the difference between Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate and White Chocolate?Milk Chocolate and Semi-Sweet (dark) chocolate actually contain chocolate in a bitter form called chocolate liquor (there is no alcohol in this product). Milk chocolate has milk as ingredient. Semi-sweet has no milk about has half the sugar as milk chocolate. White chocolate contains no chocolate liquor - in other words, it's not a chocolate product. It does contain cocoa butter, which gives it a chocolate flavor. The higher the cocoa butter content, the more yellow the appearance and the better the flavor. If the color is a strong white color, it probably does not contain cocoa butter, just artificial flavoring. What is the white packet that came in my candy bags?Hammond's uses silica packets to desiccate the air inside the bags. The hope is to trap whatever moisture there is in the air in that packet, rather than the candy. The silica packets are FDA approved, but don't eat them! What is used to color your all-natural line of candies?Developed for the demand of a gourmet candy with no artificial colors or flavorings, Hammonds has developed a line of All-Natural candies. Following is a list of the ingredients used to color this delicious line of all natural candies: Red & Pink colors: Red Beet Powder Purple colors: Red Cabbage Extracts Orange colors: Orange plus other fruit extracts Yellow colors: Turmeric Powder (a spice) Why does the candy coal turn my mouth blue? It is harmful?Hammond's Candy Coal has more dye added to it than any other candy they make. They use a blend of Blue 1 and a certified black shade which is made of blue 1, yellow 5, and red 40. They add more dye to this product so that it gives the look of real coal. Because they use water-soluble dyes in their candy, the dye dissolves in your mouth as well. Although it gives you an odd look, it is not harmful and will eventually fade. This also makes it easier for adults to pick out the naughty boys and girls. Hammond's CandiesOver the past 90 years, the "Mile High" city of Denver has seen a number of fine chocolate and candy manufacturers come and go, but one special company is still very much in business. On his first day of high school, a young man named Carl Hammond returned home and announced that he didn't need anymore education. "Fine," his mother replied, "but you're not going to lie around the house. Go get a job." And that's just what Carl Hammond did; he got a job - as an apprentice in a candy factory. In 1920, after several years of learning the candy business, Carl T. Hammond, Sr., founded Hammond's Candy Company in Denver. He was inspired to become an entrepreneur after creating his first original candy, Honey Ko Kos, chocolates topped with shredded coconut. In his first few years in business, Carl did it all: he developed the recipes, made the candy, sold the candy, and was his own office staff. Eventually, he hired someone to manage the store while he traveled the West, selling his candy to other stores. Business boomed during the "Roaring 20s." While the Great Depression brought many changes, Hammond's went right on selling candy, because even in those extremely trying times, people could usually find enough money for the simple and sweet pleasure of candy ... but if people were going to buy it, it had to be good. Carl's motto was "Nothing is more important than quality." This focus on quality kept Hammond's modest factory on Platte River Street open, and making a profit, throughout the entire Depression. In the 1930s, a friend of Carl's invented a delicious confection: a bite-sized, soft marshmallow surrounded by succulent caramel. Carl loved the product, and purchased the recipe to produce in his factory, naming it the "Mitchell Sweet" after his friend. The Mitchell Sweet became the signature candy in the Hammond's line, and this remains the case today. In 1945, Carl's son, Carl T. (Tom) Hammond, Jr. and his wife June arrived in Denver, after Tom was discharged from the Navy at the end of World War II. Tom went from being Chief Petty Officer to apprentice candy maker. June soon learned the candy business and joined the family business. In 1948, Hammond's Candy Company moved to a new Denver location, at Bryant Street and West 29th Avenue. After Carl passed away, Tom took over the helm, and the business continued to flourish under his direction. In 1967, Tom continued to expand factory operations, purchasing an enrober, a machine used to coat treats in chocolate. Each of Tom's four sons worked in the business at one time or another, but it was Robin, his only daughter, who chose the candy business as her career. In 1983, Robin's husband, Emery Dorsey IV, joined the business and learned the art of candy making from Tom. When Tom passed away, Emery took over the management of the candy factory. With the help of his wife and mother-in-law, he carried on the Hammond's tradition of candy making for another 16 years. In 1995, Hammond's evolved from a local treasure to a national name, when Williams-Sonoma placed an order for hand-pulled lollipops, chocolate-covered toffee, and peppermint pillows, all of which quickly became best-sellers at the company's many retail locations around the country. In 1999, Hammond's Candy was sold, and with the sale of the company came huge growth. Hammonds grew from a small factory with 10 employees, to a facility twice as large with over 60 employees. At this point, Hammond's also opened the factory to the public, offering free tours and an annual Candy Cane Festival, an event which is still held in the first Saturday in December. In 2004, Hammond's moved to its current location, a 35,000 square foot facility, just north of downtown Denver on Washington Street and 58th Avenue. In 2007, a group of candy lovers led by Andrew Schuman, current President and CEO, took a close look at Hammond's. Schuman, using his specialty retail experience and an entrepreneurial zeal very similar to Carl Hammond himself, saw Hammond's as a "sweet" company, waiting to be taken to the next level and purchased the company. In just four short years, Hammond's has doubled in size and continues to thrive under the new ownership. It now utilizes the services of over 120 employees and welcomes over 100,000 visitors a year! As the company has grown, so has its fame: Hammond's has been featured on CNBC, in the Wall Street Journal, and in other national publications. Its products have been featured in magazines and advertisements, such as Martha Stewart Living and Every Day with Rachel Ray. The factory is frequently featured on television shows such as Food Network's Kid in a Candy Story. Orders now come in daily from such national companies as Whole Foods, Nordstrom's, Dean & Deluca, Cracker Barrel and hundreds of local and regional specialty shops across the world. Hammond's world-famous candy canes can be found in Canada, England, Spain, Italy, Dubai, Kuwait, Japan, Korea, Israel and other areas around the world. In 2010, Hammond's purchased McCraw's Candies, maker of that famous flat taffy you knew as a kid. McCraw's has been selling its world famous taffy for well over a century. Mccraw's taffy is now manufactured and shipped from Hammond's Denver factory. In 2011, Hammond's is thrilled to have entered the gourmet food arena with the launch of their succulent dessert dips and snack pretzels. They offer a huge variety for one small company, but (as Carl Hammond believed) it's much more fun this way!

Summary: To improve the ability of the per diem rates to meet the lodging demands of Federal travelers to high cost travel locations, the General Services Administration (GSA) has integrated the contracting mechanism of the new Federal Premier Lodging Program (FPLP) into the per diem rate-setting process.
Action: An analysis of FPLP contracting actions and the lodging rate survey data reveals that the maximum per diem rate for the State of Texas, city limits of Fort Worth, Arlington/Grapevine, Dallas; State of California, Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Mateo/Redwood City, Santa Monica, and Sunnyvale/Palo Alto/San Jose, should be adjusted to provide for the reimbursement of Federal employees' lodging expenses covered by the per diem. This bulletin amends the final rule published in the Federal Register on August 30, 2002 and amended on November 18, 2002, May 9, 2003, and May 28, 2003, by adjusting the maximum lodging amounts in the prescribed areas. This bulletin also eliminates seasonal rates for Santa Monica, California.
Effective: This bulletin is effective September 2, 2003, and applies to travel performed 15 days after this date.
Point of Contact: For clarification of content, contact Patrick McConnell, Office of Governmentwide Policy, Travel Management Policy, at (202) 501-2362. Please cite FTR Per Diem Bulletin 03-4.
Background Information
(A) In the past, properties in high cost travel areas have been under no obligation to provide lodging to Federal travelers at the prescribed per diem rate. Thus, GSA established the FPLP to contract directly with properties in high cost travel markets to make available a set number of rooms to Federal travelers at contract rates. FPLP contract results along with the lodging survey data are integrated together to determine reasonable per diem rates that more
accurately reflect lodging costs in these areas. In addition, the FPLP will enhance the Government's ability to better meet its overall room night demand, and allow travelers to find lodging close to where they need to conduct business. After an analysis of this additional data, the maximum lodging amounts published in the Federal Register at 67 FR 56160, August 30, 2002 and amended at 67 FR 69634, November 18, 2002, 68 FR 25034, May 9, 2003, and 68 FR 31706, May 28, 2003, are being changed in the areas listed above.
(B) Per diem rates change more frequently than other information contained in the FTR. Effective April 28, 2003, GSA changed the travel procedure to allow the Office of Governmentwide Policy (OGP), GSA, to issue/publish Appendix A per diem rates on the GSA website. FTR Per Diem Bulletins supersede Appendix A to Chapter 301 (41 CFR Chapter 301). This will ensure timely notification of any increase or decrease in per diem rates established by GSA for Federal employees on official travel within the continental United States (CONUS). Per diem rates will be published on the internet at www.gsa.gov/perdiem as an FTR Per Diem Bulletin and published in the Federal Register on a periodic basis. This bulletin gives notice of a revision in per diem rates prescribed by OGP for CONUS. Per Diem Bulletins published periodically in the Federal Register now
constitute the only notification of revisions in CONUS per diem rates to agencies. These are the changes constituted by this Bulletin:
Maximum per diem rates for official travel in the continental United States (CONUS) by Federal Government employees as prescribed in FTR Per Diem Bulletin 03-2:
Lodging M&IE Per Diem
Locality Amount Rate Rate
Arlington/Grapevine (Tarrant
County) $112 + $38 = $150
Dallas (Dallas County) $95 + $46 = $141
Fort Worth (City Limits of
Fort Worth) $96 + $42 = $138
Los Angeles (including Los Angeles;
Orange, and Ventura Counties;
Edwards AFB; Naval Weapons Center
And Ordinance Test Station, China
Lake (see Santa Monica)) $106 + $50 = $156
Oakland (Alameda County) $105 + $42 = $147
Sacramento (Sacramento County) $93 + $46 = $139
San Francisco (San Francisco County) $139 + $50 = $189
San Mateo/Redwood City (San
Mateo County) $102 + $46 = $148
(Remove the seasonal entries)
Santa Monica (City limits of
Santa Monica) $125 + $42 = $167
Sunnyvale/Palo Alto/San Jose
(Santa Clara County) $106 + $50 = $156

Monopoly Plans to Retire One of Its Tokens — Will It Be Your Favorite? [VIDEO, POLL]
I just found out that Monopoly is retiring one of its tokens. What? Yep, Monopoly will be replacing one of its iconic tokens and they're letting us decide. Hasbro, the maker of Monopoly, is calling the campaign, "Save Your Token."
Now if you're a die-hard board game junkie, (for example, me) than this could be a travesty. The token is everything. So, what token will never pass go again and end up in jail? Will it be the race car, iron, the cute Scottie dog, wheelbarrow, shoe, top hat, thimble or the battleship?
What token will take its place? The choices are toy robot, helicopter, cat, guitar or diamond ring. You can see pictures of the new pieces here.
Fans can vote on which token to keep and which token to add in it's place now through Feb. 5 on Monopoly's Facebook page.
I took a poll here at work and here's where it stands: 3 voted their favorite was the race car, 3 for the wheel barrow, 2 for the Scottie dog, 1 for the top hat, 1 for the shoe, 1 for the battleship and 1 for the thimble. My favorite token is definitely the Scottie dog. My pick of the new token is the cat.

The Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) is considered of historical occurrence in Louisiana. The historic range included eastern Texas or western Louisiana and the east lower Mississippi River Valley through the southeastern states (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and parts of Tennessee and South Carolina). Even though numerous sighting reports continue to surface annually throughout its historic range, it is unlikely that viable populations of the Florida panther presently occur outside Florida. Each year the Louisiana Natural Heritage Program (LNHP) receives calls reporting puma sightings, most of these reports remain unconfirmed because of the lack of evidence.
If you believe you saw a cougar, check for the following:
- Tracks (below you will find drawings of tracks of cougars and other carnivore species that will help you to identify cougar's tracks). If possible, take a picture and/or make a cast of the track, and/or draw the track on a hard clear plastic with a permanent marker.
- Scats (collect the scats and keep them in a clean plastic bag)

…a.k.a. link dump / linkage /clickage from the past month; more to come…
- Very Bushwick and very fabulous (NYT)
- You know how we do in Brooklyn (Inc.)
- Pitchfork is Times-worthy.
- I managed to avoid reading any commentary on Inception until I actually saw it for myself yetserday, though at this point, I cannot possibly hope to catch up with all of the bandwidth that has been spilled (not to mention plot spoiled)—in theory and in practice, for example—over Nolan's polarizing masterpiece. Also: A.O. Scott on film criticism in the digital age in theory and in practice; Dileep Rao (who plays Yusef) gives us the straight dope; Jonah Lehrer speculates on the neuroscience behind the film. Plus, Jonah Lehrer on LSD (in a manner of speaking)
- Am I guilty of "a breezy writing style"? (The Economist; related: China's microblog macro-crackdown)
- Amid all the talk of his new book Imperial Bedrooms, Bret Easton Ellis also finds time to reflect on American Psycho (The Guardian)
- Sasha Frere-Jones endorses music in cloud form (The New Yorker)
- Tom Vanderbilt included a link to Dave Horton's unabashedly self-righteous five-part essay on the fear of cycling in his own musings on bicycle highways for Slate. Definitely required reading for anyone who chooses to bike for transportation (as opposed to simply for leisure), with the caveat that it feels a bit too much like justification for my sense of entitlement that I feel when I tell pedestrians to get out of the bike lane. Still, the car culture of the US is easily worse than that of the UK (where Horton's expertise lies; at least London has congestion pricing) and the essay actually affirmed my fear that cycling still has a long way to go.
- Deitch's new projects (NYT)
- Brillo: from design to art (Print via BoingBoing)
- An amazing tale of art forensics (highly recommended) (New Yorker; cf.)

- Rhizome visits Babycastles.
- Wu Guanzhong, Chinese Artist, Dies at 90 (NYT)
- Why the Art World Hates "Work of Art" (Salon)
- Why Saltz kind of likes "Work of Art" (NYMag); he's been recapping the show lately. (GQ, for their part, has been interviewing guest judges lately, but New York, not to be one-upped, has exit interviews, including why token outsider Erik kind of likes Jerry Saltz.
- Saltz on the Whitney as it should be (NYMag); Christian Marclay reviewed by his significant other (NYT); plus, the Whitney as it might be and Whitneys that never were; last but not least, The Future Is Stupid: Jenny Holzer × Keds × Whitney = Bloomingdale's Live Art

Sadhain is yet another alphabet created by the people in Dardaniell, the fictional world invented by Pieter Rottiers. Sadhain actually is no Dardain word, its name is a distortion of the name of the inventors girlfriend (whom he loves very much, of course!). It is a fully vocalized abjad, and like most abjads it is written from right to left. The script is used to write Dardain.
In Sadhain there are no more than four different characters to cover this section. Instead, a whole variety of dots are used to distinguish them. Every family of hard consonants has a basic form (no dots), a sonorized form (one dot), a fricative form (two dots) and a form that is sonorized as well as fricative (three dots).
Sonorants are those consonants that are voiced and can never be made voiceless, and that can be produced continuously at the same pitch. In Sadhain these are seperated in four subgroups: nasals (m, n and ? ), liquids (l and r), semi-vowels (j and w) and the h.
As said before, Sadhain is a fully vocalized abjad. This means that vowels can be added to the script as diacritics. Every vowel is added on a seperate carrier, that is fixed to the other letters. Vowels also have certain similarities: 'e' is actually a combination of 'a' and 'i', 'u' is a combination of 'o' and 'y', and the last three vowels are nothing more than the 180 degrees shift of the first three. A seperate vowel is the letter for schwa (ə), which is the symbol for the unstressed and toneless neutral vowel that sounds like the 'a' in about.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They
are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another
in a spirit of brotherhood.

Murder Suicide
St. Martin's July 2004, 21.95, 320 pp. ISBN 0312323891 John Snow was a genius who made millions from his inventions but the money came at a price.

Unable to live with the affliction anymore, he decided to have cutting edge brain surgery that could cause blindness or leave him unable to remember any of the people closest to him. An hour before he was due fo...
This book is interesting because both the protagonist and antagonist are forensic psychiatrists. Jonah Wrens (the killer) wanders from town to town murdering innocent victims. Frank Clevenger is the protagonist engaging in Wrens' game of cat and mouse. It is interesting to see how the characters analyze one other. Something else that adds interest is that the author is actually a forensic psychiatrist himself....

The Architect is the sixth installment of Keith Ablow's Frank Clevenger series. The book opens up with West Crosse, a Yale educated architect with an unhealthy urge for perfection using a surgical saw to cut through the spine of his victim to remove vertebrae. Meanwhile, FBI psychiatrist Frank Clevenger is battling with his addiction to alcohol while dealing with the problems he's having with his adopted son Billy.

I've had a lot of questions about baking with Almond flour, so I thought I'd do a little intro to it for those of you who have never baked with it before. The obvious reason I use it is because my body reacts poorly to grains and it is a fairly easy flour to bake with.
I've played with other nut flours, such as pecan and walnut, and found the nut flavors to be too overpowering so I generally stick with Almond or Cashew. It lends a slightly sweet and nutty flavor to the dish, without being overbearing.
- The finer the grind, the better your baked goods will turn out. If you use a course ground flour, your product will be grainy and the texture will be as if you added nuts to the batter.
- Nut flours burn easily. Most of my recipes call for a lower baking temperature and longer time than you would use with a normal wheat flour recipe. Keep a close eye on your baked goods though, because all ovens heat differently and I've definitely had a few dozen burnt muffins in my time.
- Buy in bulk if you plan on baking a lot. Almond flour can get expensive, but most websites you order from will give you a discount if you buy in bulk. You can store the flour in your refrigerator for a month and your freezer for around 6-8 months. If you store in your freezer, just remove the portion you need for your recipe and let thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Almond Meal is different than Almond Flour. Almond Meal is ground almonds with the skin on, while Almond Flour is blanched almonds with the skin removed. I notice that my cakes and cookies are denser and more "mealy" textured, if you will.
Homemade Almond Flour
If you have the time and feel up to the challenge, you can also make your own flour. Although most of the instructions out there say you can just grind up blanched, peeled almonds, I believe you need a grain mill to really get a good finished product. Oh, and if you make it yourself, be careful not to grind it too much or you'll end up with Almond Butter! I decided to purchase it after trying to make it in my food processor and not getting a fine enough consistency.
*One of the brands you will see commonly is Bob's Redmill. The first time I tried a recipe I used this brand, and came out with an overly moist and mushy muffin. I don't recommend buying it, or Trader Joe's Almond Meal. See below for a list of websites that sell the good stuff.
Online Purchasing
Digestive Wellness
This is my favorite site to buy from. They often run specials, and their flour is the finest grind I have come across so far.
Amazon is probably the most convenient place to order from online. Honeyville is a great brand and delivers consistent results.
That should do it! Enjoy your adventures with Almond Flour, and if it doesn't turn out the first time, try again!

The benefits of therapy for depression are indisputable, since treatment offers the important opportunity to be deeply understood and affirmed. Depression is one of the most frequently cited reasons for seeking treatment. It's also highly amenable to treatment. In addition to helping you understand what lies behind your depression, we'll establish a good strong working relationship which is an important bulwark against future depression and supports the growing self as it strives toward health.
Walter Masterson, LCSW
Psychotherapy and Counseling
Home visits, Nassau County, NY 11023
Often depression is held in place by thoughts and beliefs that suck the hope out of one's life. Therapy is effective in finding the source of the problem and providing tools for intercepting and changing the problematic thought patterns. Medication may or may not be needed to get the process started. When one gains the ability to envision a rewarding life, it often ends the cycle of depression.
Zalman Nelson, LMSW
Licensed Professional Therapist
Great Neck, New York 11023
Depression is often a "check engine" light that there are things we love and enjoy doing, are good at, our passions and interests – but we aren't doing them or making time for them. It leaves a hole in our life..often filled by unhealthy, downer stuff. We aren't powerless; we are empowered to identify those needs and wants and joys, and make them happen. Overcoming depression takes feeling I'm behind the steering wheel of my life. Often, we just need a start, a push, a move in a good direction, and get the ball rolling – the depression fades, or becomes far easier to handle.
Joel Stukalin, PHD, ABPP, FAACP, MS
135 WHITSON STREET, FOREST HILLS, New York 11375
Our enriched, multi-modal approach is effective for clients who consult us regarding depression and mood-modulation issues.

We also stress a holistic approaches that integrate medical and nutritional needs, as well as incorporating stress reduction, physical exercise and meditation work. Our clients often benefit greatly.

Depression is anger turned inward or against yourself. As anger builds within, an individual has three choices: To channel the anger energy assertively by expressing the feelings attached to the situations causing one to feel depressed; to express the anger through outbursts that can be very destructive to the self and others; to internalize the anger and become more depressed and less functional with time. My job is to enable you to learn how to identify and express feelings that are causing you to feel depressed. The next step is to change behaviors associated with your feelings freeing you from depressive thoughts and feelings.
Hal Brickman, LCSW, RCSW, CSW, MSW, CHT
New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Manhasset, New York 11030
Hal helps clients understand depression and better cope with the nasty and persistent erosion of hope. Hal encourages his clients to understand the reason(s) for their depression and unique ways to climb out of it. He also encourages clients to connect to, express, even write about their depression. Hal believes that only by facing it head are we able to effectively disarm depression, while increasing self-esteem.
John Kukor, Ed.D.
26 Aberdeen Road, New Hyde Park, New York 11040
My goal with clients who suffer from depression is to get you up and going again so you can enjoy your life more, and experience greater meaning and satisfaction. Depression can make a person feel exhausted and gloomy, and it tends to make people think things will never get better. But depression is one of the most treatable emotional disorders. I am committed to supporting my depressed patients to become "formerly depressed," and to have some energy again, to have something to look forward to, to feel like life is meaningful again.
Meredith Silversmith, MA, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

In adulthood, our closest relationship is often with our spouse, partner, or significant other. When chronic conflict invades this relationship, it can become difficulty to find joy and contentment in life. Meredith works with couples in which one or both partners are experiencing depression. She believes that as the relationship heals and partners learn strategies for respecting and valuing one another's needs and desires, symptoms of depression will be alleviated.
Marina Voron, MA, LMFT

My approach to helping you cope with depression is one that is centered around helping you discover your own innate strengths and abilities.

My approach emphasizes teaching people to challenge negative thoughts and maladaptive thinking. It enables clients to recognize distorted thoughts that promote negative perspectives which contribute to symptoms of depression.

If you have a pulse and a heart, you have been sad. Using the science of happiness rather than standard interventions for depression we focus on increasing positive emotion, engagement, and meaning rather than directly targeting depressive symptoms. In using these interventions with clients I have noted the effects of these interventions in a variety of settings. In informal and clinical settings these interventions have commonly been reported to me and referred to as "life-changing."

There was just one true phrase of Mr. Marinetti's about himself: "the feverish insomnia."
It is written by an Italian named Marinetti, in a magazine which is called Poesia.
I can well imagine why Mr. Marinetti in his motor-car does not wish to look back at the past.
Perhaps the one most addicted to his method was Marinetti, from the name of his native place more commonly called Chiozzotto.
Marinetti and his group have striven earnestly to accomplish this difficult feat, but in every instance have failed.
I think, had Oppenheimer had the opportunity for thorough education, he would have made a Marinetti or a Haeckel.
Secondly, Marinetti is wrong when he claims that matter is the only mystery and the only reality.
