The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Warner Bros.) revolves around a piece of casting so perfect it almost amounts to a stunt. Brad Pitt is every bit the exemplar of contemporary fame (the good deeds, the tabloids, the paparazzi), as Jesse James was of its 19th-century version (the bad deeds, the broadsheet ballads, the carte-de-visite portraits). And, like James, Pitt retains a haunted, inaccessible quality despite his absurdly overdocumented life. The mere phrase "Brad Pitt as Jesse James" makes for a kind of mini-reflection on the evolution of celebrity culture. It's a shame that The Assassination of Jesse James, a moody epic directed by Andrew Dominik (Chopper) and based on the 1983 novel by Ron Hansen, never goes much deeper than that tag line.
There's one thing Pitt and James don't have in common. Pitt is not, to all appearances, a barking lunatic, six-person family bed notwithstanding. James was: Accounts by his contemporaries stress his paranoia, egocentrism, and sudden fits of temper, and not least a propensity for shooting former colleagues in the back at the faintest hint of treachery. Dominik's film opens in 1881 as the James brothers, Jesse and his cooler-headed sibling Frank (Sam Shepard), are planning their final train robbery outside Blue Cut, Mo. Bob Ford (Casey Affleck), the 19-year-old younger brother of a member of their gang, shows up to beg for a role in the holdup. Frank shoos him off with a drawn pistol—a gesture that, in my own job-interview history, I've always taken as a "no." But Bob Ford isn't the type to scare so easily. In modern terms, he's a stalker, a shameless hanger-on with a puppylike fixation on Jesse and a disturbing attachment to his box of James memorabilia. After the robbery, Jesse keeps him around as a gofer and general whipping boy, and the two establish a queasy rapport that will eventually result in the event of the title.
More than any character in cinema, Bob Ford recalls Rupert Pupkin, the wannabe standup comic who took Jerry Lewis hostage in The King of Comedy. And like Robert De Niro in that role, Casey Affleck goes for broke in a wonderfully brave and weird performance as the craven naif Bob. Somehow he makes us want to flee this creep at top speed, even as we pray no harm will come to him. Pitt is scary and charismatic as Jesse, and the supporting roles are superbly cast (Sam Rockwell is indelible as Bob's brother Charlie), but the movie belongs to Affleck. In old-school Western tradition, the female roles—Mary-Louise Parker as Jesse's wife, Zooey Deschanel as an exotic dancer who befriends Bob—are nearly nonexistent.
The Assassination of Jesse James commits one of the most woeful sins of the literary adaptation: way too much voice-over. The superstitious Jesse, the movie tells us while showing vast prairie skies, "read auguries in the snarled intestines of chickens." Really? Well, don't just tell us about it: Let's see some disemboweled fowl! Ron Hansen's prose, as adapted by Dominik, is often lovely, but the script's reliance on narration robs the film of its best opportunities to tell the story simply, through images. Thanks to Roger Deakins' cinematography, those images are beautifully composed, but a blurred-edges effect meant to evoke period photography feels contrived. Self-conscious mythmaking of the kind this movie undertakes is always a dangerous enterprise. The Western—including the postmodern, twisted, we're-way-beyond-Westerns-now kind of Western—is a genre that's been so thoroughly explored that, like the gangster movie, a new one better have a damn good reason for existing.
It feels strange to wish for more from a movie that's three hours long, but the segment following James' death, in which the Ford brothers tour the country with a vaudeville re-enactment of the murder, seems hurried and tacked-on. Dominik might have done well to trim some of the scenes of raunchy camaraderie among the James gang to concentrate on the enigma of the film's central dyad. For all the time we spend in their company, we leave with little sense of what Bob and Jesse's motivations are, and without giving away the plot, I can state that some of the choices they make are pretty bizarre. "Do you want to be like me, or do you want to be me?" Jesse asks his worshipful tormentor at one point. What the distinction is between those two desires—or by what path either one would lead to a compulsion to kill—is a question that The Assassination of Jesse James, for all its ponderousness, leaves frustratingly unexplored.

Helen Clark: Launch of UNDP Report, "Humanity Divided: Confronting Inequality in Developing Countries"Jan 29, 2014
Speech for Helen Clark, UNDP Administrator
at the Launch of UNDP Report, "Humanity Divided: Confronting Inequality in Developing Countries"
New York, Millennium Hotel, Diplomat Ballroom
Wed. 29 January 2014, 11am
I am pleased to launch this important new UNDP Report, "Humanity Divided: Confronting Inequality in Developing Countries".
The Report argues that great and persistent inequality in the midst of plenty is a paradox of our times. Over the last few decades, poverty rates have declined in every region of the world; emerging market countries have grown with unprecedented speed; and life-changing technologies have improved well-being. Even so, many people, and in some cases entire countries, continue to be shut out of the gains.
The richest eight per cent of the world's population earns half of the world's total income, while the remaining 92 per cent of people are left with the other half. Last week, Oxfam released a report estimating that the share of global wealth owned by the world's 85 wealthiest people is roughly that owned by the poorest 3.5 billion. That leaves a tiny fraction for the world's poorest people. Indeed, the share of global wealth controlled by the world's poorest thirty per cent fell from just 1.5 per cent in 1988 to one and a quarter (1.25) per cent in 2008.
Many of those sharing that tiny sliver of global wealth face multiple layers of deprivation and disadvantage - restricting people's options and capabilities, and trapping them in poverty. Not only do 1.2 billion people continue to live on under US$1.25 dollars a day, but inequalities in income and wealth are often compounded by inequalities in access to power, and disparities in health and education.
At the global level, in developing countries as a whole,
• Women in rural areas remain three times more likely to die in child birth than those in urban areas;
• Persons with disabilities are up to five times more likely than those without to incur catastrophic health expenditures; and,
• Children born in poorer households are less likely to complete their primary education, with the most striking difference seen in South Asia, where children in the wealthiest quartile are two times more likely to complete primary school than those in the lowest.
Inequalities on today's levels are unjust in both developing and developed countries and between these groupings; and, as demonstrated in this "Humanity Divided" Report, they also impede human progress. The Report explores the causes and consequences of the inequalities which divide us – within and between countries – and argues that there is nothing inevitable about high levels of inequality. It aims to inform ongoing conversations within communities, countries, and at the global level on the challenges of inequality, and to equip policy-makers and development actors with policy options for reducing it.
Curbing Inequalities: Growing demand for action
Concern about the level of inequality in our world was reflected in the contributions of the 1.75 million people who have shared their priorities on the post-2015 global development agenda. In the UN-facilitated consultations, people have conveyed a clear sense that our world is deeply unfair, and that the dynamics of power and exclusion have left many people, groups, communities, and even whole countries behind. They recognized that without concerted effort, this privilege and disadvantage would continue through generations, and called on governments to act on inequalities.
In a survey conducted for the Report we are releasing today, 79 per cent of policy-makers in fifteen developing countries described income inequality as a 'high' or 'very high' priority. Most agreed that inequality represented a potential threat to their country's long-term social and economic development.
The potential for instability and setbacks if inequalities are not reduced is increasingly recognized by world leaders, and is also preoccupying many of those who are well off, including in global business circles. Ahead of last week's meetings in Davos, the World Economic Forum issued a report identifying widening income disparities as the second greatest worldwide risk, and warning that inequality is 'threatening security on a global scale.'
This new UNDP Report is therefore very timely. My comments today will first address how inequalities impact on well-being, and then discuss policies which can reduce inequalities and advance human development.
1) How inequalities impact on well-being
The "Humanity Divided" Report looks at inequalities through a human development lens – arguing that there are multiple ways in which inequalities negatively impact the well-being of people and the prospects of society as a whole.
A 2011 UNDP report noted that: "the persistence of inequality at high levels in many developing economies has made it more difficult to reduce poverty". The Report being launched today reviews the literature and empirical evidence, showing that inequality reduces economic growth and "leads to less poverty reduction at a given level of growth".
Indeed, the World Bank has noted that "no country has managed to transition beyond a middle-income status while maintaining high levels of inequality".
At the same time, evidence suggests that where economic power is heavily concentrated in the hands of a few, political power may also be entrenched in the hands of elites with undue influence. This then creates structural barriers to the promotion of greater equality; for example, through regressive taxation or under-investment in public goods and infrastructure such as education or public health systems and services.
High inequalities may also be associated with high crime rates and political unrest. The resulting risk-levels may then distort public spending towards security measures and away from those essential for human development progress.
2. Policies to address inequalities
A number of countries have managed to reduce gaps in human well-being significantly. They have shown how with resolute leadership and citizen action, sufficient political space can be generated to make change possible.
Drawing on evidence and analysis of the trends in and drivers of inequality, this Report calls for a policy framework which systematically and comprehensively addresses inequalities, focusing on moderating income inequality; closing gaps in health, nutrition, and education; and tackling the prejudices and stereotypes which reinforce discrimination and marginalisation.
The Report argues that development policy should be concerned with both inequality of outcomes and inequality of opportunity as they are often interlinked and mutually reinforcing. It advocates for:
a) a shift towards more inclusive growth patterns;
b) prioritising public expenditure on the universal provision of social services and on social protection; and
c) broadening civic engagement in the interest of reducing political and social exclusion.
Allow me to briefly discuss each.
A. Inclusive Growth
In highly unequal countries, economic growth can amount to little more than a 'winner takes all' windfall for the richest people. To change that, national growth policies cannot solely focus on increasing the speed of economic growth or only on redistribution. And inequality cannot be addressed solely by social policies: inclusive, job-rich growth is needed.
Inclusive growth policies strive to raise the incomes of low-income households faster than the average rise. That requires policies and strategies aimed specifically at generating growth in the localities where poor, excluded, and marginalized people live, and in the sectors in which they work.
As the poor are disproportionately represented in small- and medium-sized enterprises which, as a whole, account for more than two thirds of employment in developing countries, the Report calls for a particular focus on such businesses. For example, measures which enable small-holder farmers, including women farmers, to be more productive and competitive by expanding access to finance and to secure land tenure, as well as investments in rural infrastructure and adequate agricultural extension support, can reduce inequalities between rural and urban areas.
Labour market rules which include effective minimum wage policies and collective bargaining are also important. Increases in minimum wages and unionization played an important role in reducing income inequality in a number of Latin American countries in the 2000s – alongside the adoption of innovative and universal social protection systems.
Employment guarantee schemes have also been effectively used to reduce inequality, such as India's Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act in which 49 per cent of participants are women.
B. Public expenditure on the provision of basic services
The Report documents high rates of inequality in the non-income dimensions of well-being – such as health, nutrition, and education – despite improvements in national averages of progress in these areas. It calls for increasing public expenditure on basic services, with the aim of achieving universal provisioning, coupled with a particular emphasis on the groups currently experiencing the greatest disadvantages.
The persistence of unequal outcomes for specific groups – whether they be women, ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people, people living with HIV, and others who are marginalized – suggests a need to tackle prejudice, stereotypes, norms, and laws which fuel discrimination, and to empower groups which have been consistently socially and politically excluded.
Emphasis must also be placed on the quality of services. To improve that, including in health and education, and to ensure universal access, efficient, capable, and responsive public administrations are required.
C. Civic Engagement
Where inequalities have been significantly reduced, open dialogue and civic engagement have played an important role.
To enable that, freedom of association and expression, and access to information, are important. Social audits, participatory planning, citizen report cards, and public expenditure reviews can be used to build trust between government and people and drive inequality-reducing policies.
Attention also needs to be paid to overcoming the specific barriers which prevent poor and marginalized people from participating in public life.
In closing, let me emphasize that while my remarks have focused on reasons to be concerned about inequality because of its impact on human development progress, inequalities also matter intrinsically because they run contrary to what people consider fair for themselves and others.
The first few lines of the UN Charter emphasize the determination of the United Nations to "reaffirm the dignity and worth of the human person and the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small".
Equality was also highlighted as a fundamental value in the United Nations Millennium Declaration in 2000, when world leaders acknowledged that: "in addition to our separate responsibilities to our individual societies, we have a collective responsibility to uphold the principles of human dignity, equality and equity at the global level." The Millennium Development Goals, however, did not explicitly focus on inequality, and the way in which progress on them has been reported has tended to mask disparities. This was a significant issue in the global consultations – marginalized groups felt invisible when national averages were reported – knowing that as groups their situation was not revealed.
Thus, there was a call for better data, and for it to be disaggregated so that inequalities linked to wealth, gender, ethnicity, and other factors could be explicitly targeted in the post-2015 agenda and sustainable development goals.
Through this Report and through our work around the world, UNDP is committed to working with countries on addressing inequalities, and in sharing, including through South-South and Triangular Cooperation, the successful experiences of a number of countries in reducing them.

This is a title to place in the category of 'coolest religious puzzles ever'.
Beginning in Rome, our story offers up a variety of groups that are searching for an ancient document stolen from the vaults of the Vatican. At this time, everything was under the control of a very unpopular Pope.
Seems that a poet by the name of Mario Damiani is the culprit behind the disappearance of the Concordat, which is an odd document signed by Pope Martin and his nefarious group, the Noantri. The Concordat basically states that the Church will not persecute the Noantri in exchange for the Noantri's support of Martin at the time he was in contention for the Pope's seat. The Noantri, of course, are not your ordinary group of thugs. They are, in fact, vampires who've been around since ancient times.
Skip ahead to modern day where a young American Jesuit Priest, Thomas Kelly, is asked to come to Rome and work for Cardinal Cossa, the head of the Vatican Library. The Cardinal has just learned that this Concordat was once real and is now missing. He wants to find it and believes that Father Kelly, an expert in the study of Italian matters, can help him in his quest.
An art expert, Livia Pietro, is also looking for the document while – you guessed it – the Noantri vamps attempt to track it down.
Father Kelly and Livia meet while they're looking through old papers and join together to find the Concordat. There are clues that have been left behind as to its whereabouts, and as the humans meet up with the fanged ones readers are whisked away on a merry chase through the streets of Rome.
Plenty of intrigue and secrets, with a little bit of romance thrown in for the 'Twilight' aficionados, this title can go from scary to silly. But, in the end, it is always a whole lot of fun and a highly memorable read.
Until Next Time, Everybody,
Amy Lignor

They've also posted an article about the free-to-play browser based game that is now scheduled to launch in 2013. Click here to read the full article.
This being a Transformers game though, it's not long before you're getting into some action. We were shown the game's Deep Scan feature--essentially a horde mode where you face off against multiple enemies. The combat is fast-paced, with Horton saying he wants the game to have the immediacy of a shooter. Alongside the standard combat, which includes both melee and projectile-based weaponry, there are special weapons that can be used. We saw one Transformer becomes an artillery weapon--a state which takes a while to transform in and out of, but able to lay down heavy fire that devastates groups. The idea, therefore, is that you use it to support your party from afar--you can imagine an ideal party having smaller, faster Autobots in the thick of it, while bigger Transformers are raining down artillery fire. Transformers are also equipped with powers, such as an invisibility orb, which allows allies to see you but shields you from the sight of enemies, or a chaff mist, that protects you from incoming fire.

Nearly 67 percent of half already suffering
If you�re a moron, idiot, dumbbell, dullard, imbecile, dunce, halfwit or addle pate, this could be the most important story someone will read to you all year.
According to a recent study by the Le Pew Research Center, 50 percent of all Americans encounter morons on a daily basis. Of that 50 percent, nearly 67 percent are, in fact, morons themselves.
�That�s one of the tragedies of the moronic condition,� said Mel Blanc of the Le Pew Institute. �When someone has a full-on case of moronossis, they believe everyone else is stupid. It would be the equivalent of a penguin chastising his girlfriend for wearing the same outfit every time they go out for seafood.�
How do you determine if you or a loved one is in fact a moron? According to the Le Pew study, adults who chew with their mouths open or manage to sound like a gravel truck even if eating marshmallows are at the top of the list.
�Believe it or not, open-mouth chewing is still a problem in the 21st century,� said Chuck Jones of the Le Pew Research Center. �At one time the scientific community believed it would become more difficult for the open-mouthed chewers to mate and reproduce. These people have not only fought off extinction, judging by the eating habits observed in most restaurants, but they�re also making a comeback.�
The smacking sounds emanating from your larger mall food courts have been blamed for causing migrating geese to mistakenly fly further north for the winter.
�Our theory is the geese would rather freeze to death than have to listen to people yammer about �America�s Got Talent� while simultaneously chomping on an unholy mixture of pizza, soda and saliva,� Jones said. �It�s despicable.�
The study also concluded people who type with the force of a steam hammer are probably suffering from a full-blown case of moronatosis.
�For some reason, millions of Americans feel the need to pound on their computers as if the keyboards owe them money,� Blanc said. �Based on our findings, many morons believe hitting the keys harder will make the words appear onscreen faster and emails travel faster. In fact, pounding on the keys with such force only annoys coworkers and dramatically shortens the life of the moron�s computer. When the �Enter� key on the moron�s computer ceases to function, the moron will blame the foreign computer assembler instead of himself.�
On the bright side, morons have done their part to prop up our sagging economy.
�The success of home delivery/streaming movie services owes a lot to the moronic film goer,� Jones said. �Between people who can�t shut up during the movie and parents who bring their kids to a horror film and get offended when the disembowelment scene makes little Billy barf like a Crayola sprinkler, it�s no wonder Netflix became a success.�
While identifying the behavior is no longer a problem for the scientific community, a cure may be problematic to come by.
�If we loosened some restrictions, the moron tide would probably subside in a few generations,� Blanc said. �The world has been moron-proofed to the point that people who would have just a century ago overdosed on chalk now simply bounce off the bubble-wrapped world we�ve created on their way to a high-paying job.�
Blanc is quick to point out that many people are routinely misdiagnosed as morons.
�That guy who leaves his car stereo blaring while he walks into a gas station � he�s not a moron,� Blanc said. �He�s a jerk and most likely an impotent jerk at that. Parents who beg their children to behave instead of disciplining them � those folks are spineless.
�Oh, and the people who walk at normal speed on the sidewalk and then slow down to the pace of a snail with a gait problem when crossing the street? They�re 100 percent a******s; they WISH they were morons."

All-American Skater Helped Yale Reach Unprecedented Heights
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Broc Little, the most prolific scorer in Yale hockey's most successful class ever, has been named the winner of the 2011 William Neely Mallory Award, the most prestigious athletic award given to a senior male at Yale.
Little is a two-time All-ECAC Hockey and All-Ivy League selection who led the nation in three different offensive categories three straight seasons while accumulating 72 goals and 142 points, both fifth on the school's career charts. He also owns the school's season (5) and career (7) record for shorthanded goals.
This past season, Little helped the Elis to the best record in school history (28-7-1), ECAC and Ivy League Championships, a No. 1 overall national tournament seed and a second straight NCAA East Regional Final appearance. Little, a first-team All-Ivy selection, was second on the team with 19 goals and third with 43 points. He was also a Hobey Baker candidate (nation's top male hockey player) and a candidate for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award (community, leadership, academic).
Little led the Blue with 27 goals in 2009-10, a Yale record for juniors. He also led Division I players with .79 goals per game, which helped him earn Reebok Second-Team All-America honors while making first-team All-ECAC, All-Ivy and All-New England.
During his sophomore season, Little skated in all 34 games while leading the nation with five shorthanded goals. He was tied for the team lead with 35 points while ranking third with 15 goals. He was third-team All-ECAC and a member of the ECAC All-Tournament Team while also garnering ECAC Hockey All-Academic honors.
Little led all freshmen (4th overall) in Division I with six game-winning goals in 2007-08, while finishing second on the team in points (23) and goals (11). He shared (with Denny Kearney) the Martin Dwyer Award, which goes to the team's best freshman.
The speedy forward helped Yale to 89 victories, but he also helped the Blue win fans off the ice. Little was involved in team (skate with Bulldogs, youth days) and individual (talking at local schools) outreach activities as one of the most popular Eli hockey players in modern times.
The Rindge, N.H., native, who scored so many highlight goals during his four-year collegiate career, will skate professionally in Sweden next winter. Little, who led the 2010 Detroit Red Wings Free-Agent Camp in scoring, was signed by Vasteras from the Swedish Allsvenskan League.

I am still in high school and my teacher invited a police officer into or computer science class to talk about computer crime and he was mostly talking about the consequences recieved for hacking computers and such.After he left our techer gave us a ssignment on computer crime, she told us that we could do it on any topic so long as it was computer crime related. Most of the students chosse varying hacking/cracking topics. I choose something different, I choose Making fake id's and the consequences of doing so. I was searching on google and found very little info on it, mostly i just found sites advertising "novelty" ID's. So my question to you all is do you know of any sites that are good with a description on how these ppl do make them including falsifying the barcodes and such. And i know most of you are thinking that "hes just wanting to get a reply from me so he can make one" however this is not true, if thats what you believe then I cant really do anything to prove it to you other then I give you my word that this is fully legit.Thank you for any replies, Have a nice day.

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast – Survivors of a stampede in Ivory Coast that killed 61 people, most of them children and teenagers, after a New Year's Eve fireworks display at a stadium said Wednesday that barricades stopped them from moving along a main boulevard, causing the crush of people.
Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara ordered three days of national mourning and launched an investigation into to the causes of the tragedy but two survivors, in interviews with The Associated Press, indicated why so many died in what would normally be an open area, the Boulevard de la Republic. An estimated 50,000 people had gathered in Abidjan's Plateau district to watch the fireworks.
"Near the Justice Palace we were stopped by some people who built wooden blockades in the street," 33-year-old Zoure Sanate said from her bed in Cocody Hospital. "They told us we must stay in the Plateau area until morning. None of us accepted to stay in Plateau until the morning for a celebration that ended at around 1 a.m."
"Then came the stampede of people behind us," she said. "My four children and I were knocked to the ground. I was hearing my kids calling me, but I was powerless and fighting against death. Two of my kids are in hospital with me, but two others are missing. They cannot be found."
Another hospital patient, Brahima Compaore, 39, said he also was caught in the pile of people stopped by the roadblock.
"I found myself on the ground and people were walking on me," said Compaore. "I was only saved by people who pulled me onto the sidewalk."
Local newspapers are speculating that thieves set up the roadblocks so that pickpockets could steal money and mobile phones from the packed-in people.
Ouattara pledged to get answers. Some observers wondered why police did not prevent the tragedy.
"The investigation must take into account all the testimonies of victims," he said Wednesday. "We will have a crisis center to share and receive information."
Ouattara also postponed the traditional New Year's receptions at his residence, which had been scheduled for Thursday and Friday.
The leader of a human rights organization said that deadly incidents were predictable because the police and civil authorities had not taken adequate protective measures.
"The situation is deplorable," said Thierry Legre, president of the Ivorian League of Human Rights. "It is our first tragedy of 2013 but in 2012 we could already see possibility of such a tragedy because there are not adequate authorities patrolling our roads and waters."
Legre said the New Year's stampede "exposes our weak and dysfunctional civil protection system. This must be corrected immediately. The government cannot invite people to this kind of public gathering without taking adequate precautions to protect their safety and their lives."
He called on the government "to implement measures to avoid such tragedies in the future by reinforcing the civil protection system."
Just one night before the New Year's incident, there had been a big concert at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium where American rap star Chris Brown performed. That Sunday night event was for the Kora Awards for African musicians. No serious incidents were reported from that event.

More than 1,000 get hepatitis A shots in Charlotte
More than 1,000 get hepatitis A shots in Charlotte
Health officials say more than 1,000 people have been given vaccinations against hepatitis A after an employee at a Charlotte pizza restaurant was hospitalized with the disease.
Health officials in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties are urging anyone who ordered or ate a pizza from the Papa John's on Cambridge Commons Drive between March 28 and April 7 to get the vaccine.
Free clinics have been giving shots throughout the weekend, and health officials say they have vaccinated more than 1,000 people.
Hepatitis A is a virus that attacks the liver and can cause nausea, vomiting and jaundice.
Officials estimate 2,400 customers ordered pizza during the period.
The restaurant has been thoroughly cleaned and remains open.

PHOTOS: Snowy Chicago!
The city said all of its snow plows are now focused on residential side streets, but many remain a work in progress. A lot of residents were out clearing sidewalks Thursday night, and they needed plenty of warm layers.
In the Roseland Heights neighborhood, residents on snow-covered Forest Avenue were shoveling their sidewalks in a hurry.
"You can't be out here that long. Exposing the skin, you get frostbite quick," said Maurice Ford.
Shannon Rogers needed a scraper, not just a brush. He was not about to wait until tomorrow to clean his car.
As the mercury plummeted, the Thursday afternoon commute turned messy. A band of lake-effect snow downtown slowed rush hour traffic.
"It was clear on Harrison, but once you passed over, it just went nothing but snow everywhere. No one could go fast. Everyone was taking it easy," said Marvitta Smith, motorist.
With temperatures in the single digits, The Night Ministry brought its van to Humboldt Park to provide a hot meal and health care services to some of the city's poor.
"On nights like this, a lot of times our volunteer groups help us out. They bring extra gloves and hats and anything that other people would need," said Stacy Massey.
Bands of intense lake-effect snow caused white-out conditions in some areas as they moved east throughout the day on Thursday. The heaviest snow hit Chicago right in time for the afternoon rush hour.
"Northern suburbs were hit first, and in many cases the hardest," ABC7 Chicago Meteorologist Mike Caplan said. The lake-effect snow bands shifted into Northwest Indiana on Thursday evening, where a lake effect snow warning is in effect until 4 a.m. on Friday for Lake and Porter counties in Indiana.
"The snow is moving out, and the cold is coming in," Caplan said. That bitter cold will settle in over Chicago through next week. Already a wind chill advisory is in effect for Boone, DeKalb, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, La Salle, Lee, Livingston, McHenry, Ogle and Winnebago counties in Illinois until 10 a.m. Friday. Temperatures drop to below zero for much of the area overnight, although the city will remain just above- at 5-degrees- around 7 a.m. Friday. We'll get into the teens for the high temperatures.
Snow totals add up to double-digits for many
The first round of snow hit on New Year's Eve. Since then, it's just been piling up in many areas. As of 6 p.m., accumulation totals for some areas were: 16.7 inches in Libertyville, 16.0 inches in Gurnee, 15.1 inches in Highwood, 15.0 inches in Palatine, 10.0 inches in Evaston, 13.0 inches in Downers Grove, 13.3 inches in Morton Grove, 12.3 inches at Midway Airport, 10.4 inches in Genoa, and 9.0 inches in Oak Lawn.
The lake effect snow will end Thursday night, but another storm will hit Saturday afternoon and evening. Only one- to two- inches of snow is expected to fall.
Snow plows, salt trucks out in full-force
Thursday's snow struck in the city during both the morning and afternoon rush hours. Spinouts and crashes on area roadways led to traffic backups on highways and interstates as well as city roads. The Illinois Department of Transportation had 375 trucks out salting and plowing, and the Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation has its full snow removal fleet of 287 plows and salt spreaders out in the city. City crews are focusing on main streets and Lake Shore Drive and will be deployed to residential streets after the snow ends and the main roads are clear.
"Please be patient, drive safely, and allow that equipment to pass," Chicago Streets and Sanitation Commissioner Charles Williams said. To view the city's snow fleet in real time, visit chicagoshovels.org. For additional updates on snow removal efforts, follow the Department on Twitter @Streetsandsan.
Williams also suggested that people help their neighbors instead of calling "dibs" on street parking, a longtime Chicago tradition in which motorists claim a spot they shoveled out with chairs or other items.
"All that's doing is littering your street," Williams said. "If we have to go out on the street, that stuff's got to go."
Police say they won't issue tickets for marking your parking spot, but say they'd rather people help their neighbors than litter the street.
USPS makes plea to clear walkways for mail carriers
The U.S. Post Office is also asking people to clear their sidewalks, stairs, porches and mailboxes to help mail carriers better do their jobs.
"The hardest part is treading through the snow when the people don't shovel," said Belinda Nails, letter carrier.
"Delivery service may be delayed or curtailed whenever streets or walkways present hazardous conditions for letter carriers. The Postal Service curtails delivery only after careful consideration, and only as a last resort (any curtailed mail is attempted the next delivery day)," USPS said in a statement.
Tim Rudolphi and his daughter are digging out. He's shoveling, she's go the snow blower.
"This is probably one of the easiest snows we've had cause it's so light. So it's easy. I like shoveling," Rudolphi said.
McKenna's not quite as big a fan. "That's going to be a long day. And it's still snowing," she said.
Chicago officials said people who need help with either getting their homes heated, which must be to 68-degrees according to law, or getting to a heating center, should call 3-1-1.
Divvy bikes, ice rinks close for day; Flights delayed, canceled
The Secretary of State canceled all driver's license road tests because of the weather in the Chicago area, and the Chicago Park District closed outdoor ice rinks. Also, Divvy bikes stations are closed for the day.
Low visibility and the de-icing of aircrafts led to flight delays at Midway and O'Hare airports. As of Thursday at 9 p.m., airlines at O'Hare had proactively canceled 300 flights and most other flights were seeing 45 minute delays. At Midway, about 120 flights were canceled and two hour delays were reported. Most of the cancelations are preemptive, so there's a lot of catching up to do- on sleep, on a book, on anything else. For some travelers, it's a lesson in patience.
"We've been talking to them about it a great deal," Liz Hoover said of her children. "Patience, flexibility. Take a deep breath."
There's no time to take a breath on the tarmacs at Midway or O'Hare, where planes are lined up, de-icing is constant, and snow plows work in tandem on the runways.
"We happened to come when there was a lot of weather," Marilyn Brown said. "You can't do much about this kind of weather."

The Raiders rushed for 210 yards, passed for 375, controlled the clock for almost 38 minutes and ran 92 plays against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Yet, they weren't even in the game they ultimately lost 49-20. That's what happens when your defense allows touchdowns on four straight possesisons to start the game, seven passing touchdowns overall, 542 yards offense and poses almost no resistance on the Eagles 57 plays.
"There's not a whole lot you can tell 'em," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said soon after the dust settled. "I mean, at the end of the day, that was an old-fashioned butt-whoopin'. And we gotta move on from it, we gotta learn from it, and we're gonna be better next week."
They can't be much worse, unless you place stock in a bunch of meaningless stats compiled long after the Eagles sealed the outcome.
The game hung in the balance midway through the second quarter, with the Eagles leading 21-10 and facing a third-and-16 from their 14-yard line.
As was the case most of the game, quarterback Nick Foles moved around in the pocket without worry of being touched, waited for an open receiver and delivered the ball on target for a first down. Five plays later, Foles recorded his fourth touchdown and the rout was on.
"I don't Nick Foles ever seen anything on film that would give him any indication that he'd throw for seven touchdowns," Raiders veteran safety Charles Woodson said. "In this league, it doesn't matter who the quarterback is, if he's able to sit back and make throws and we give them some throws downfield, then they're going to make those plays. Nobody thought today that he'd come in and have this kind of day."
And few expected the Raiders defense to get throttled the way it did, not on the heels of pretty solid play all season, especially in recent games.
Veteran cornerback Tracy Porter said the way the Eagles had their way with the Raiders defense was surprising, shocking and "flat-out embarrassing."
"It was a wake-up call, basically," Porter said. "They came out firing on all cylinders, and we couldn't match their tempo. Usually, we're the team setting the tempo, but they came out ready to play, they outexecuted us, point blank and simple. When a quarterback has seven touchdowns, we have to sit there and take that personal."
— Quarterback Terrelle Pryor said he exited the game as a precautionary measure after experiencing discomfort in his right knee. Allen said the lopsided nature of the game at that time dictated that Matt McGloin replace Pryor when he did anyway.
"Good," Pryor said, when asked after the game about his knee. "I have to look at it further tomorrow but it's stable. I can walk. Nothing's wobbly or anything like that. It's just precaution."
McGloin completed 7 of 9 passes for 87 yards in his regular-season debut after he replaced Pryor.
— Running back Darren McFadden also sounded upbeat about the prospect of returning soon from the hamstring injury he aggravated early in the game.
There might not be a rush, given how well Rashad Jennings fared in relief of McFadden. Jennings rushed for 102 yards on 15 carries and caught seven passes for 74 yards.
The Raiders now have three players with 100-yard rushing games this season — McFadden, Jennings and Pryor. That last happened in 2008, when Michael Bush, Justin Fargas and McFadden.
— Wide receiver Denarius Moore caught five passes for 82 yards against the Eagles. That gives him 513 yards through eight games and places him on pace to become the first Raiders receiver to reach 1,000 yards in a season since Randy Moss accomplished the feat in 2005.
— Defensive end Jack Crawford notched one of the Raiders two sacks of Foles on Sunday. That makes him the 15th Raiders player this season to record a sack.
— It doesn't get much easier for the Raiders moving forward. Four of their next five games are on the road, where the Raiders are 0-3 this season.
The Giants won their past two games after an 0-6 start, they are at home, fresh from a bye week and blessd with the fortune of still being in the hunt for the NFC East title.
Beyond that game, the Raiders face almost must-win games against the New York Jets and San Diego Chargers, two teams standing between them and an AFC Playoffs wild-card berth. Then again, none of this matters if the Raiders play the way they did against the Eagles.
— Wide receiver Rod Streater (hip) and linebacker Kaluka Maiava (hip) are the only other players that suffered notable injuries against the Eagles. Their status for the Giants game will be update Monday.
— Recently acquired linebacker Martez Wilson played 15 snaps Sunday, all on special teams.
— Juron Criner played 63 snaps Sunday in his first game on the active roster. He caught three of the eight passes directed at him for 32 yards.
Perhaps most impressive, Criner delieverd a couple of key blocks on sizable gains, especically on a 66-yard catch-and-run play by receiver Rod Streater.
Criner also played more than fellow receivers Streater and Jacoby Ford. Moore played the most of all the receivers with 76 snaps.
— Sebastian Janikowski drilled both his field-goal attempts, including one from 53 yards. Suddenly, there isn't as much talk about Janikowski and holder Marquette King being out of synch.

Goffstown school board sets warrant articles
GOFFSTOWN - The school board Monday finalized articles that will appear on the school district warrant in March, including its operating budget and plans for $14.5 million in elementary school improvements.
If voters approve the school district's operating budget and the bond request for the elementary school renovations, they can expect a property tax increase of about $1.23 per thousand dollars of assessed property value, or about $270 on a $220,000 home.
The tax impact each year of the remainder of the bond is expected to be 71 cents, in addition to any future increases in operating budgets.
Article 2 seeks voter approval for the $14.5 million bond that will add classroom space to Bartlett and Maple Avenue Elementary Schools, which was recommended by the Budget Committee by a vote of 11-3.
Article 3 on the school warrant is the district's operating budget of $37,311,381, which was a revised budget of the Budget Committee, and adopted by the board.
The default budget was set at $36,616,091, about $600,000 less than the proposed operating budget.
According to SAU 19 Business Administrator Ray Labore, the tax impact on the default budget is about 73 cents per thousand, or about $160 on a $220,000 home.
Article 4 asks voters to decide if the school board should elect to retain up to 2.5 percent of unassigned general funds to use as a revenue source for emergencies.
"I think it's a great idea, I'd love to see it pass, but I'm not sure this is the right way to do it," said board member Keith Allard.
Board member Suzanne Tremblay disagreed, saying the article should move forward.
"Our warrant is probably as simple as it's going to get," she said.
The final article, Article 5, will ask voters to approve a new AREA agreement among Goffstown, Dunbarton and New Boston, which will take effect when the current agreement expires in 2014.
The school deliberative session takes place Feb. 2 at Goffstown High School.

Robotics Camp Exposes Youth to New Technologies
Last summer, 4-H campers competed to see who could build the best robot. Nearly 20 young engineers participated in the camp held in Bates County and organized by University of Missouri Extension.
"We hope that we're building on that basic foundation so that they will become the engineers and the scientists of the future," said Alan Mundey, a 4-H Youth Specialist with University Extension.
The camp is part of a national 4-H program called Gear Tech 21. The goal is to show how robotics and mapping technologies improve agriculture. Today's tractors are equipped with robotic sensors and geospatial data that help farmers produce crops more efficiently.
MU specialists believe this is one way to get kids excited about these new technologies.
"You can open up a book and you can read about science, but until you get your hands on it and maybe see how it's more applicable to your daily life — even as a kid — that's what's going to create the interest," Mundey said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – On Friday afternoon, the King University women's cross country team turned in one of their best performances of the season as each of King's top-5 runners set personal records at the Royal Cross Country Challenge. For the second week in a row, Hannah Witt set a new school record, leading the Tornado to a sixth place finish in a meet that had 45 teams.
Witt finished third in a field of more than 200 runners with a time of 17:22.6, obliterating the 5k record she set a week ago by 43 seconds. Her time was also the first time in King history that was under the 18 minute mark. Evan Ferrell came in next with a new personal best of 19:00.1, besting her previous fastest time of 19:57 that she posted last season.
Kendra Sokol topped her fastest time by 11 seconds, finishing the 5k course in 19:07.3. Eliza Parker posted a career-best time of 19:22.1 while freshman Tiffany Gargiulo posted her first time under 20 minutes with a time of 19:41.6.
The Tornado finished sixth at the event, just behind UNC Pembroke who is ranked ahead of King in the latest regional rankings. Last week the Tornado were ranked eighth in the USTFCCCA Southeast Regional rankings while UNC Pembroke and Mount Olive College ranked fourth and fifth, respectively. King also finished ahead of conference foe Mount Olive.
King will have a week off before they try to repeat as Conference Carolinas champions at the Conference Carolinas Championships. The meet is scheduled to take place on October 25 in Concord, N.C.

"Despite the falsity of these claims the news media promoted the story continuously throughout the 1980s, with local news stations featuring frequent coverage. During this time cases of poisoning were repeatedly reported based on unsubstantiated claims or before a full investigation could be completed and often never followed up on. This one sided coverage contributed to the overall panic and caused rival media outlets to issue reports of candy tampering as well."
Still, I find the shirt disturbing and wouldn't buy it. But I'm sure it's not the first disturbing shirt ever created.
dirtdirt wrote:Wow! This is my design. Uh, I'm not a sicko. I'm a shlubby civil servant. I have kids.
When I was a kid the specter of poisoned or otherwise tampered candy was by far the scariest thing about Halloween - I remember the local hospital would x-ray bags of candy, for free. I always found that idea horrifying, and compelling. This shirt is about that fear, and is, to me, funny.
On the streets this year you'll see a million kids dressed as vampires, zombies, ghosts, ninjas, and other monsters that don't (or barely exist). Put this shirt in with that group - scary, but exceedingly unlikely.
I liked the shirt design. I got one. When I read the comments I was surprised how much it bothered people. I told my family that it is a morbidly funny shirt about an overblown fear so I totally got that humor.
I just have to say it bothers me when people think that things like this are what cause people to do insane things. I'm sure anyone out there evil enough to do something like this doesn't need a shirt to give them the idea.
The people that think that are the same types of people that probably blame music/movies/games for people who go out and commit crimes also.
What ever happened to personal responsibility. I'm sick of everyone always trying to blame everyone else for things that happen. Some people are just disturbed. Unfortunately, that's life.
I feel bad for the artist. I like the shirt like I said and am glad I got one. It will be a unique shirt to have.
Yeah it's a funny shirt, reading the description made me laugh because it fit my degraded neighborhood, the kids do have an ugly dog, sweet but in contest with a mud fence, She'd win every time. And since numerous things have been stolen off my porch, I just don't give out candy. But thinking about giving out candy like this in a Fantsy/Horror film kinda way...
wharper wrote:$20 says someone will be detained for wearing this at an airport checkpoint, within 30 days.
A follow up to my acceptance of the challenge:
Bought the shirt (everyone at work appreciated it, a lot less negativity there than on the comments here!!!) and in early November my wife & I went to Vegas for our anniversary. I took this shirt and wore it to McCarran airport (on the way back, of course, if I'm getting detained it's gonna be after my vacation) expressly for security. Made it through the X-ray and body scan without incident, but on my way out of the body scan the tech notices and says, "Hold on a second!!!" He then came over and ran his fingers over the jigsaw blade images, then sends me on my way... So, I guess I was detained, but only for about 3 seconds!!!
Wharper, I owe you $20!!!
It's really too bad this is OOP since there is a special ink sale going on; the sale reminding me of this awesome design and the amusing comment thread. So many mother hubbards out there crying "bad taste" and "ohhhhh the children, THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!"
This was a classic halloween design and I am glad to have gotten the tote. I can attest that I used it for trick-or-treat candy and no one ran from my house in fear. I did, however, receive some compliments for it=)
So sad this is out of print. A friend got the tote version a few years back and I LOVE it, but hesitated on buying one and then...too late. Ugh!!! I want this as a tote!! PLLEEEEAAAASSEEEEEEEEE bring it back????

So we may finish with:5* WR4* Top OT4* Top S4* Top OLBThat would be the best I have ever seen us finish
Alabama has 12 of the ESPNu top 150 commited. The rest of the West has 9. I started a thread about recruiting after the Alabama game and was lambasted. I stand by what I wrote. Bobby Petrino is a GREAT coach but I've yet to see him assemble a staff that looks to be great recruiters. I understand that he doesn't like recruiting, but he needs to hire someone that does. Yeah, we have been in the mix for all this elite talent but our staff really struggles at closing. We will whiff on DGB, Santos, Peters, Diamond, Goodman, and Gardner. There is no way to positively spin that. I hope I am wrong.
Would I rather stick my balls in a meat grinder or a salad shooter.
Translation: We may suck, but you had a stretch where you sucked, too, and we kicked your ass in that one game after you shitcanned your coach who even we now recognize was no damned good so ignore all the current evidence and don't act like you're better than us even though you are.
Guess that mkes me #2 3
Lets not let the haters from the north ruin this day, we are still going to get some really good playas even without DGB.
Making rounds early, then to the office where the computer will be continually on this thread. Go Hogs, WPS!
.....oh, in that case just snake a tube down her nose and I'll be there in four to five hours. Testing 1.....2......3(in the background) Oh! Porterhouse!!!
Resonance...metal folding chairs or hard tile floors cannot be beaten when it comes to firing off a loud fart.
where's the list of guys who's fax we've received? duckman, you claim to have sources inside the BAC, have your buddy text you names as they come across the fax.
Will someone ask him how those recruiting victories landed him a seat on the panel?

Skip to comments.Yellen hints at boosting inflation to create jobs (Obama's Federal Reserve chairwoman nominee)
Posted on 10/09/2013 3:13:15 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
Federal Reserve chair nominee Janet Yellen Wednesday suggested that she will put a renewed emphasis on jobs in her role as Chairwoman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank.
President Obama nominated Yellen, a vice chairwoman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and former president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, to run the U.S. central bank Wednesday. If confirmed by the Senate, Yellen will become the first woman to run the Fed in its hundred-year history.
Yellen is expected to accelerate the devaluation of the dollar by continuing or even expanding the Feds open-ended bond-buying program. She has been consistently favored by job-creation hawks, who hope that she will follow a looser inflation policy than they expected from her chief rival for the Fed job, former Treasury Secretary and Harvard University President Larry Summers.
I think its a really good pick, economist Mark Vaughn, a fellow at the Murray Weidenbaum Center on the Economy, Government and Public Policy at Washington University of St. Louis, told The Daily Caller. Shes eminently qualified. Shes got the best résumé of any designate. Shes been president of a bank, and shes been on the board. Shes got an esteemed academic career. Shes a good manager and a good leader.
Yellens brief comments Wednesday suggested she may fulfill some of the hopes of job-creation zealots. Preposterously asserting that the economy is stronger and the financial system is more stable, Yellen added that despite progress under current Chairman Ben Bernanke, U.S. monetary policy has far to go.
The Feds mandate is to serve all Americans, Yellen said. Too many Americans still cant find jobs and worry how theyre going to pay their bills and provide for their families.
Yellen was alluding to the Feds dual mandate of managing inflation and maximizing employment. This mandate is based on an antique economic theory called the Phillips Curve, which posited an inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment.
The Phillips Curve, a relic of Keynesian mythology, has been abandoned by economists after repeatedly failing to bear out in reality most notably during the stagflation of the 1970s, and arguably during the unprecedented economic stagnation of the past six years. Since 2007, Bernanke has quadrupled the monetary base, and inflation which is widely described as being under control or even too low has in fact robbed the dollar of 13 percent of its value, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator. Yet the economy has moved sideways, inflation remains above 7 percent, and household net worth is about where it was prior to the recession amounting to a massive disappearance of buying power with no discernible positive effects on the economy.
Yellens supporters hope that she will double down on the jobs portion of the Feds mandate. Vaughn cautioned that her willingness to maximize inflation may be overstated.
A lot of people who spend time studying her speeches concluded shes not soft on inflation, he told TheDC. Its fair to say shes more dovish than some other potential nominees, but not a dove. Shes about where Bernanke is.
Vaughn added that Bernankes rampant money creation has added to the complexity of Yellens job.
Her biggest challenge is going to be as much political as monetary policy, he told TheDC. The Fed has this unprecedented balance sheet and shes going to have to unwind it. It has a lot of mortgage-backed securities in its portfolio, and the housing industry is very strong in Washington. This is not a country thats in love with central banking, going back to the foundation of the republic. In some ways, the Fed was lucky in its enemies, because Ron Paul is kind of goofy. But he was making some legitimate points. Her big challenge is going to be maintaining the Feds independence and fighting down political attacks.
Another challenge for any Fed chief is keeping Americans convinced that controlled inflation is a naturally occurring or positive phenomenon a notion that flies in the face of all lived experience for people outside the fantasy realm of monetary policy, who see only boarded-up businesses, high unemployment and endless economic stagnation.
Although monetarists maintain that inflation is a key component of modern economics, it has in fact been understood for centuries. In The Wealth of Nations, economist Adam Smith discusses inflation at length always describing it as debauchment of the currency that enriches the king at the expense of his subjects.
Rather than refuting this obvious point, monetarists rely on hectoring propaganda, such as this short film from the Depression era:
The Fed celebrates its 100th birthday later this year. The dollar has lost more than 95 percent of its value during that time. In the hundred years prior to the Feds creation, the United States expanded from a handful of states on the eastern seaboard to a continent-spanning nation, acquired both Alaska and Hawaii, abolished slavery, built the transcontinental railroad, became an unprecedented world power, and experienced levels of economic growth and social mobility that it has never again matched all of those achievements having been accompanied by steady deflation that left the dollar worth more in 1913 than it had been in 1813.
Oh yeah, inflation is just what we need.
Obama Administration Motto:
"You think it's bad now? Wait until tomorrow."
Let's first see if she can receive confirmation from the Senate.
Can't wait for those trillion-dollar paychecks.
The 1970's were so wonderful the first time around.
"Oh yeah, inflation is just what we need."
This is how the Fed is going to get "paid back" all the money they've lent. Just devalue everything and voila!, you have everything "fixed."
Never mind, I do get it. But its still insane.
"The socialist revolution can only succeed when the bourgeois (the Middle Class)are crushed between the twin grindstones of inflation and taxation
...and how would inflation serve those on fixed incomes and/or savers? Since I am both, perhaps I am no longer part of "all Americans."
In economics, the Phillips curve is a historical inverse relationship between the rate of unemployment and the rate of inflation in an economy. Stated simply, lower unemployment in an economy is correlated with a higher rate of inflation.
In the 1970s, many countries experienced high levels of both inflation and unemployment also known as stagflation. Theories based on the Phillips curve suggested that this could not happen, and the curve came under a concerted attack from a group of economists headed by Milton Friedman. Friedman argued that the Phillips curve relationship was only a short-run phenomenon. He argued that in the long run, workers and employers will take inflation into account, resulting in employment contracts that increase pay at rates near anticipated inflation. Unemployment would then begin to rise back to its previous level, but now with higher inflation rates.
Most economists no longer use the Phillips curve in its original form because it was shown to be too simplistic.[3]
I would highly encourage anyone who wishes to understand economics to read this book. It is written in a time when there were a greater number of countries, particularly European, each having its own solution to economic policy. He also had the epitome of economic freedom, the American colonies, to study.
The man was an economic genius for all time.
Tough read, but worth it.
She isn't going to have any choice. The policies she and her moron hero and Bernanke have been pursuing GUARANTEE inflation.
This is a classic case of trying to get in front of an issue.
Guy on Varney (FOX Business) said he expected deflation then inflation. Obama's destruction of America as we knew it is on track.
-——Yellen is expected to accelerate the devaluation of the dollar———
bert, bert, bert........... you have been so right for so long it is almost embarrassing
Stagflation 2.0 here we come!
Hints? She's been screaming it. It's why she's been appointed. The beatings will continue till unemployment improves.
Here come the leisure suits.

Pay a visit to glamour site of Joanie Allum the top photographer from Mayfair, Men Only, Club etc. Browse through her list of unpublished photo sets of every famous model you can think of.
Mayfair is our top selling collectable English mens magazine. Mayfair is unique in that its had two top class publishers namely, Fisk and Paul Raymond. Both of them worked the magazine well. The internet caused the eventual demise of the hey day of the top shelf market and it was a sad day to see the Mayfair of old go bust. However, when that day came we were fortunate enough to buy all the back stock from Paul Raymond going right back to Volume 1 Number 1. Some of these magazines were the circulation copies and as such never been opened so came to us in a brand new condition. Nobody has more Mayfair magazines in stock!
The racks you are looking at here showcase our Penthouse stock from Volume 10 to Volume 23. Above Penthouse to the right you can see our huge stocks of Club Confidential from the USA going right back to the first issue which was actually published as a 'Best Of' Club International. That's why underneath the Club Confidential you can see the Best of from that series. All these magazine were bought from the Club warehouse in the USA which were shipped back to London when the company was sold off by the heirs of Paul Raymond.
This is a shot of the right side of our shop which holds the current issues. By current we generally mean magazines from todays latest issues going back to 2002. Our current issues will contain magazines which as yet we don't sell online such as Janus, Kane, a selection of gay titles from the UK and USA along with everything that we have no interest, which we call our bargain bins and these magazines sell from just 40p. We've got so many magazines coming through the system on a weekly basis we just sell mags out for scrap and we don't just have 2 or 3 mags at 40p, at anyone time we'll probably have 50 mags at 40p. The shop is open 6 days and stock changes daily, with prices starting at 40p what more can you expect!!!
