2005 Dodge Ram 3500 - The Beast
It's Big, Bad, And Blue
One thing we never get tired of seeing is heavy-duty trucks slammed hard with little or no disregard to the pavement. This isn't to say the methods used to reach the ground are half-witted shortcuts; it's just a little unfair to the everyday custom truck owner trying his best to get noticed at a big show. There's just some sort of unexplainable mania that shrouds all judgment when noticing a 'bagged dualie shining way off in the distance.
Kelly Bise can identify that feeling of exhilaration that comes only with seeing a big truck's stance hacked down to weed level. He just had to build himself a laid-out, Pro Street-style dualie of his very own, and once he got his mitts on an '05 Dodge Ram 3500 six-wheeler, the first phase of its customization should be no surprise to anyone. The Ram was checked in to the Slaughter House, in Tomball, Texas, where Mark and Bryan Fehrle fabbed up custom upper and lower control arms and a chrome-plated parallel four-link with a Panhard bar. Slam Specialties RE8s serve as the 'bags of choice, and to inject air into them with the quickness, two Viair 480 compressors and 1/2-inch copper hard lines have been routed to get the not-so-light truck back up to a speed bump clearing driving height. The bed not only showcases a peek of the impressive rear suspension setup, but it houses a bank of four Optima Blue Top batteries and a few performance items as well. Bise Welding, Kelly's own custom venture, rolled the bed floor, which is an awesome sight. Well, that depends if you're into excellent metal craftsmanship, paint, and chrome.
If you were paying attention to the blob of words above, there was mention of go-fast goods located in the bed. Well, those pieces just happen to be four beautiful bottles of instant speed. The 5.9L Cummins turbo diesel heart, which was beefed up by DI Performance, in Houston, features some serious add-ons that have the Dodge not only looking mean, but acting like it too. Also on display in the bed is a 5-inch exhaust system that feeds to the 8-inch exhaust stack that spits out plumes of black smoke- a sign that should be interpreted by would-be rivals to back the heck off. Those not heeding Kelly's forewarning are sure to regret their mistake of stepping to The Beast. An ATS intake manifold, twin turbo kit, and ceramic-coated headers come together to create a monster of a horsepower factory underneath the hood. And just to give an idea of just how much power the six-cylinder makes post-tweaking, Kelly informed us that his latest testing shows 875 ponies and 1,620 lb-ft of torque are now being directed toward the concrete. To make the most out of these new figures, a Bully Dog programmer with the Crazy Larry tune stacked with a TST PowerMax programmer ensures not a single horse or pound of torque is squandered.
With the Ram lying low and barking with the big dogs, it was time for the dualie to get a minor physical reconditioning. To increase head-on intimidation, Kelly had Alfredo Dima, of Dima Wheels fame, cut him a unique grille design that is sure to catch on quick amongst the custom crowd. Suicide rear doors and relocated handles, and smoked markers and taillights catch loads of attention, but the two-tone paintwork performed by Alamo Customs, in Alvin, Texas, is what initially captivates the Ram's audience. The breaking graphics laid by Patrick Reid mimic chrome accents, and top off a truly winning color combo.
Some would think that this Dodge's assets are only skin-deep, but a peek inside the cab would reveal one of the craziest audio networks we've seen inside the confines of a custom heavy-duty. Not only does it feature four Kicker 15-inch L7 subs, two Kicker zx2500.1 amps, and an array of Kicker components, the presentation is what really attracts the eye. Each sub's chassis has been color matched, and blue backlit plexiglass can be found everywhere, which shows that Kelly went the extra mile when trying to find a worthwhile substitution for the entire rear seating area. Two 12-inch BMW monitors have been attached to a motorized track, and can be viewed and stashed with the push of a button. Kingpin Kustoms, in Dickinson, Texas, fabricated and wired the entire system that is controlled by an Alpine head unit. The audio components were carefully selected and strategically positioned and tuned in order to provide a truly unbelievable experience in fidelity. The setup won First Place in sound quality and SPL at Texas Heatwave, so don't mistake this truck for a lame, one trick pony. The A/C controls have been relocated to the front of the custom center console, and the seats have been covered with charcoal colored leather and blue 'suede for further appeal.
As anyone can see, Kelly's dualie is definitely a beast in more ways than one, and to get to this caliber, he's taken full advantage of invaluable assistance from some of the industry's top resources. Special thanks go out to Mark and Brian at Slaughter House, David Lott at DI Performance, Heath Moore at Kingpin Kustomz, Clint at ATS Diesel Performance, Kelly at Kicker, Robert at Alamo Customs, and Mickie for all the support. Be on the lookout for this truck at a show nearest you. You'll quickly learn that none of our praise is fabricated or undeserved.

(CNN) — Police searching for the suspect in a triple homicide in Georgia have released a 911 call from a man who was one of the killer's intended targets.
Authorities claim that the suspect, Robert Bell, 33, used an assault weapon similar to an AR-15 to execute two adults and a 12-year-old boy on Sunday, September 15.
A fourth shooting victim, Justin Cato, 23, "laid low" and then called the police when it was apparent that the gunman had left, said Cpl. Jake Smith of the Gwinnett County Police Department.
In a calm voice, Cato tells the dispatcher that a man he did not know came to the house where he lived in Snellville, a city of about 18,000 east of Atlanta. The man didn't say anything and just started shooting, Cato tells the dispatcher. He also says everybody else in the house is shot.
Cato was shot in the leg. The deceased victims were each shot multiple times, detectives said. They have been identified as:
— Angelina Benton, 34, who police say lived at the home and was Cato's boyfriend.
— Benton's godson, Raynord Daniel, 19.
— Benton's 12-year-old son, Joseph McDonald.
Bell could be traveling to Chicago or Tennessee, where he has family, said Smith. He is considered armed and dangerous.
Benton had invited Bell and his wife to stay with her about two weeks before the shooting, police said. "They were down on their luck and needed a place to say," Smith told CNN. "About a week later, the suspect's wife moved out to Tennessee for a job, and he stayed there."
On the night of September 15, the victims and Cato were walking to the home when the suspectl opened fire with the assault weapon, Smith said.
"We believe he shot and killed the man and the boy before pursuing Angelina down near the end of the driveway."
Bell's SUV was left at the scene along with the weapon. "He was last seen walking away," Smith said. Investigators would not speculate on a possible motive.
Bell is wanted on three counts of felony murder and one count of aggravated assault.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Gwinnett County Police at 770-513-5300.

Teen Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Topic Overview
What is teen substance abuse?
Many teens try alcohol, tobacco, or drugs. Some teens try these substances only a few times and stop. Others can't control their urges or cravings for them. This is substance abuse.
Teens may try a number of substances, including cigarettes, alcohol, household chemicals (inhalants), prescription and over-the-counter medicines, and illegal drugs. Teens use alcohol more than any other substance. Marijuana is the illegal drug that teens use most often.
Why do teens abuse drugs and alcohol?
Teens may use a substance for many reasons. They may do it because:
Teens tend to try new things and take risks, so they may take drugs or drink alcohol because it seems exciting.
Teens with family members who have problems with alcohol or other drugs are more likely to have serious substance abuse problems. Also, teens who feel that they are not connected to or valued by their parents are at greater risk. Teens with poor self-esteem or emotional or mental health problems, such as depression, also are at increased risk.
What problems can teen substance abuse cause?
Substance abuse can lead to serious problems such as poor schoolwork, loss of friends, problems at home, and lasting legal problems. Alcohol and drug abuse is a leading cause of teen death or injury related to car crashes, suicides, violence, and drowning. Substance abuse can increase the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, because of unprotected sex. Even occasional alcohol use by a teen increases the risk for future alcohol and drug problems.
Even casual use of certain drugs can cause severe health problems, such as an overdose or brain damage. Many illegal drugs today are made in home labs, so they can vary greatly in strength. These drugs also may contain bacteria, dangerous chemicals, and other unsafe substances.
What are the signs of substance abuse?
It's important to be aware of the signs that your teen may be abusing alcohol, drugs, or other substances. Some of the signs include:
What should you do if you find out that your teen is using alcohol, tobacco, or drugs?
If your teen is using alcohol, tobacco, or drugs, take it seriously. One of the most important things you can do is to talk openly with your teen about the problem. Urge him or her to do the same. Try not to use harsh, judging words. Be as supportive as you can during this time.
In most cases, a hostile, angry face-to-face meeting pushes your teen away from the family. If you don't know what to do or if you feel uncomfortable, ask for help from a pediatrician, psychologist, or psychiatrist.
The type of treatment your teen needs depends on the level of substance abuse. For example, if your teen has tried drugs or alcohol only a few times, talking openly with him or her about the problem may be all that you need to do. But if your teen has a substance abuse problem, then he or she needs to be seen by a doctor, a counselor, or both. If your teen is addicted to a drug or alcohol, he or she may need to have detoxification treatment or a treatment that replaces the substance with medicine. Medicine works best if it is combined with one-on-one or family counseling, or both.
Returning to substance abuse, called relapse, is common after treatment. It is not a failure on the part of your teen or the treatment program. Recovery from addiction is hard and takes time. Know that there may be setbacks that your teen will need to overcome one step at a time.
Can teen substance use and abuse be prevented?

Peru's new fire station complete
PERU -- After more than five years of budget proposals, grant applications and sometimes-contentious town meetings, the Peru Volunteer Fire Department finally has a building worthy of its members, according to Chief Eric Autenrieth.
Autenrieth, a 30-year veteran of the department, said the annual number of fire calls has nearly doubled -- from 34 when he took over as chief five years ago to 65 last year.
But even as the number of calls increased, the department's volunteers continued to work out of outdated and inadequate quarters.
The new $550,000 building, which was completed last month, has four bays -- one for each of the department's vehicles -- as well as a training and meeting room, and for the first time, a laundry room and bathrooms for the firefighters.
"We finally have a place to sit, bathrooms and now we can go on a call and come back to the station instead of contaminating our homes," he said. "Every call we go out on we can be exposed to any number of blood-born pathogens, feces, HIV, hepatitis, suit, oils, and we'd have to bring that back to our homes because there was no place to properly clean our gear afterwards. These guys aren't getting paid, so they should at least have a place to change after a call without having to contaminate their own houses."
The previous fire house, built sometime in the mid 1950s, didn't have access to running water.
It also didn't have heat until 20 years after it was built, so during the winter, all the equipment and vehicles had to be put in storage and Peru residents had to rely on the Hinsdale Fire Department, said Autenrieth, who joined the department when he was 13.
Plans for the new 4,400-square-foot firehouse faced numerous challenges in recent years, and the project was nearly killed several times.
The initial cost of the project was estimated at $650,000, but it had to be scaled back after voters rejected spending on the project in the face of concerns about the plan.
Two years ago, residents voted to set aside $250,000 for the project with the idea that the remainder would be borrowed from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development program.
But when the project went before the voters asking for $650,000 the following year, with $100,000 to be covered by a grant, it was rejected because residents said there wasn't enough specifics about the building plan.
'There's no money for it'
Autenrieth said uncertainty about the government's application process prevented the town from further developing the building plans -- and incurring the associated costs.
"We had exhausted all other options," he said. "We applied for grants, asked local and state politicians and the answer was always the same, 'there's no money for it.' Even FEMA couldn't help us get funding."
The department was also denied funding through a national grant system dedicated to help fire departments. Instead of helping the 14-person crew finally get a viable building, the money instead went to the Los Angeles Fire Department to help it build its 34th and 35th stations.
"It was a difficult pill to swallow," Autenrieth said. "I understand the money needs to help the most people, but there's already so many departments in the that city and they're full-time firefighters who get funded by the city's taxes; we don't."
Eventually a couple of contractors agreed to provide rough estimates of what the new station would cost and came up with $450,000. When the bid process was finished however, the lowest figure was more than $100,000 more, despite the lower cost of building materials.
"We were ready to give up," he said. "There must have been 150 people who showed up for that meeting and I figured they were all against the project. How was I going to tell them we need even more money?"
Inside the packed Community Center room, Autenrieth spent about a half-hour answering questions about the project and probably would have continued to do so until a chant began at the back of the room. The chant, "vote, vote, vote," was mild at first but quickly enveloped the room.
The resolution passed resoundingly by more than 100 votes.
Now, instead of having to walk sideways around the vehicles crammed 8 inches from the door, each can be worked on and has more than a 3-foot buffer between the others.
Park improvements
A park at the rear of the parcel, containing a basketball court so uneven you couldn't dribble a ball, will soon be converted in a parking lot and the Peru Recreation Association has already set out plans to improve the park, baseball field and activity area, Autenrieth said.
The old station and the building will be returned to its previous owner, the Dewkett family, who plan to turn it into a storage facility.
"It still feels like we're going to someone else's department," he said. "But we couldn't be happier."

Rodriguez thrilled with first live session since TJ surgery
By Jane Lee / MLB.com
PHOENIX -- Fernando Rodriguez bettered himself as a pitcher even when he couldn't throw, intently studying peers from the dugout during a lengthy Tommy John rehab program last year.
On Tuesday, the A's right-hander brought his findings to the mound, to face hitters for the first time since the surgery last March, and he surprised even himself.
"Not what I expected it to be, I guess, because I had such an adrenaline rush, so the ball was flying out of my hand," Rodriguez said. "It's kind of exciting. It's something I've been waiting for a while. I couldn't have asked for a better day for it being the first time throwing off the mound to hitters."
Rodriguez threw 20 pitches, utilizing mostly his fastball and a few changeups, and impressing with tweaked mechanics that allow him to get the ball to the plate quicker.
"It's a good feeling for you when you work that hard," said manager Bob Melvin. "All the changes he looks to make from last year, he incorporated into throwing to hitters today. He was down in the zone with his fastball from a high angle, had a good changeup and, really, all the hard work has paid off to this portion so far. Credit him for all the hard work, because he has a chance to be a nice piece for us this year."
Melvin is still iffy about getting Rodriguez into a Cactus League game but has said the righty will at least see simulated game action by spring's end. The plan is for Rodriguez to remain in Arizona for extended Spring Training, before he'd even be considered to join the big league team, which is already packed with experienced relievers.
The 29-year-old has yet to throw a pitch for the A's following a trade from Houston with Jed Lowrie last February. But he's stayed busy in the meantime.
"I talked to Chili [Davis] a lot last year, and also with Bartolo [Colon]," he said. "The biggest thing Bartolo told me was, 'I've seen a lot of guys come back from the surgery. What you have to do is just work on your location and let the velocity come later.' So that's what I wanted to do this offseason, work on the little things.
"Today, I was able to actually see it. This is huge. I was very happy. Even now, I'm almost flying a little bit. After a whole year of not being able to compete, this was a big step."
A's will have 10-game test run on new replay rules
PHOENIX -- Bob Melvin attended a two-hour meeting with fellow Cactus League managers on Monday to be further educated on the new instant-replay rules. He came out of it feeling "dizzy."
"It was a long meeting, and rightly so," the A's manager said. "There were certainly a lot of things I hadn't thought of before. There are just a lot of things you could potentially review, and I think they did a great job of designating what's reviewable and what's not and why, and it made a lot of sense."
The rules will be implemented for real during the season, but Melvin will first have the opportunity to test out the new system this spring during all televised games. For the A's, that's 10 games in which Melvin will be encouraged to challenge plays and explore the process.
He's thankful for the learning curve.
"I got the answers for the most part," he said. "I think Spring Training will be a part of that process, and hopefully we get some of the kinks worked out before we get to the start of the season."
Prior to this season, replay had been utilized only on home runs, to review whether they were fair or foul, in or out of the ballpark. Now, it will be available for almost all plays that don't involve a strike-zone call.
Managers receive one challenge during the first six innings of each game, though if they successfully get a call overturned, they receive another. Once the seventh inning begins, replays will be at the discretion of the umpires.
Rules governing plate collisions were also released Monday, and Melvin was pleased to find they don't read much differently than before, noting that they're simply "more succinct with the language."
The experimental regulation states that catchers can only block the plate if they have possession of the ball, while runners are not allowed to deviate from their direct path to the plate to initiate contact with the catcher. Moreover, runners are not allowed to lower their shoulders or push through with their hands, elbows or arms when veering toward the catcher.
Runners who slide, and catchers who provide them with a lane to reach the plate, will not be found in violation of the rules.
"I think they addressed what issues they thought were most important and most prevalent and kind of went with that," Melvin said. "See how it goes and take further steps maybe down the road. It's that one where the ball takes you into the line, where it's going to be a bang-bang play, that will be the most difficult."
This play is among those deemed reviewable by video replay.
Worth noting
• Manager Bob Melvin is already regretting his recent decision to create a Twitter account, so much so that it's been deleted.
"I haven't changed it. I just blew it up," he said, smiling.
Though Melvin never revealed his Twitter handle to the media, more than 100 fans were able to identify and follow him on the social-media site. For every new follower, an overwhelmed Melvin received an e-mail.
"It was an uncomfortable day," he said. "Notifications and all that, wow."

Yesterday, Nissan announced that the LEAF will be released
in limited numbers next year in the United States. According to
Nissan, 5,000 LEAFs will be spread evenly through five markets:
Oregon, Phoenix/Tuscon, San Diego, Seattle, and Tennessee.
Nissan credits the recent announcement of $2.4B
in federals grants for battery development for its relatively
quick time-to-market plans for the LEAF. Nissan will be partnering
with eTec, a company which provides charging stations for EVs, to
help provide the infrastructure to support vehicles like the LEAF.
ETec received nearly $100 million of the $2.4B grant.
"Nissan appreciates the support of the Department of Energy
in helping jumpstart the electrification of the transportation
sector," said Nissan of North America's Scott Becker. "This
is a major step in promoting zero-emission mobility in the United
States. Nissan is looking forward to partnering with eTec to help
make electric cars a reality and to help establish the charging
networks in key markets."
Nissan's LEAF can travel 100 miles on a single charge and reach a
top speed of 87 mph thanks to its lithium-ion battery pack and
electric motors.
The first 5,000 LEAF EVs to reach the American market late next
year will be made in Japan. Nissan plans to start building the LEAF
in its Tennessee plant in 2012.

+ School Board article included errors
Dear Editor:
Regarding the Aug. 30 article about the joint meeting of the Sarasota County Commission and the Sarasota County School Board, "Portable county classrooms to disappear in three years," there were several inaccuracies:
Micki Ryan is a planning analyst for the Sarasota County School District but she was not at the meeting. Sarasota County Government Planning Department staff members Tom Polk and Tamara Schells briefed commissioners and School Board members about demographic trends. I also addressed the commissioners and board members about school district enrollment trends.
The county's demographics did not prompt the school district to "pitch plans of phasing out portable classrooms." We have had plans to reduce our reliance on such classrooms for a few years.
I did not refer to "the lure of charter schools." While the reporter did not attribute that phrase to me as a direct quote, it is not an accurate paraphrasing of my comments.
The "build-outs" of Riverview, Booker and Sarasota High Schools are not designed to "increase student capacity" at those schools. Rather, the rebuilding of RHS and BHS and the renovation of SHS are designed to replace older structures and make those schools more conducive to 21st century learning. The new facilities are designed to last 50 years or longer.
A reference to the charts about Sarasota County population ratios in 2010 and projected ratios in 2040 are attributed to Ms. Ryan, who again, was not at the meeting. I did not say that the forward estimates for charter school enrollment show a "positive trend." Again, this was a paraphrase, but it indicates a value judgment. "Upward trend" would have been a more appropriate paraphrase of my comments. And we forecast for enrollment trends in all our schools, so I'm not sure what the reporter meant by "The forward estimates for charter schools have a shorter timeline" (perhaps he meant shorter than the timeline of the county's population projections, but his meaning is not clear).
The sentence in the last paragraph, "Sarasota County is one of the few school districts required to split state funding for capital projects with charter schools," is incorrect. We are one of a few school districts in the state to share capital funding voluntarily and proportionately with charter schools. We are not required by the state to do so, and the word "split" makes it sound as if we give charter schools half of our capital dollars. We do not.
We would appreciate it if the reporter would be more careful in future stories. We are happy to provide information about the school district to reporters who call us to check their facts.
Ken Marsh
Director of Long Range Planning
Sarasota County Schools
+ Privatize Selby Five Points Park
Dear Editor:
I was delighted to see your comments in the Aug. 30 edition about the idea of the management of Five Points Park by a private entity.
I was delighted because it sounded as though you recalled and liked the effort I made in late 2010 through 2011 to create a Five Points Park Improvement District, which would manage park landscaping and develop program activities on a continuous basis for the park. You specifically mentioned the highly successful Bryant Park and Central Park models in New York City, which I used as the basis for my proposal.
The Downtown Improvement District appointed me chair of an ad-hoc committee to develop the idea. The City Commission was interested in exploring the idea and encouraged me; the city attorney helped me research the legal basis for the district; and I made a series of presentations to downtown Sarasota condo residents who would fund and manage the district with ad valorem taxes on residential property. These presentations initially met with enthusiastic support.
The resident support came to a screeching halt for two reasons. A strong confrontational approach to the vagrancy problem in Five Points Park was urged by some downtown residents, which, of course, would not have resulted in any additional ad valorem tax, but which I believe has since blown up in the faces of those who advocated it and made the vagrancy problem worse.
In addition, the Downtown Improvement District began to explore the possibility of taking streetscape responsibilities for much of downtown, including Five Points Park. When downtown residents became aware of that and that such an effort would not result in any additional ad valorem tax on residential property, they resisted my idea, saying they didn't want to pay for something for which another entity was going to take responsibility.
Five Points Park should be our downtown civic space, full of activity that builds on the creativity and arts focus of our city. As long as people advocate for passive dead space with little or no activity in the heart of downtown, undesirable activity will move into that vacant space. This should be a place where our community comes together to enjoy and learn from each other.
I still think this idea has value and can work. New York City has about 30 of these organizations that have demonstrated that they increase both commercial and residential property values, reduce property turnover and generate significantly increased economic activity and value.
If any of the organizations with an interest in the vitality and success of our downtown want to work with me, I'd be willing to try again.

Still, I'm very curious. May I take a look at the code?
(Lame name suggestions, while I'm thinking of it: Freeteego, Stratfreego.)
Cool. Sure, you can see the code, as long as you don't make fun of it.
You're literally getting a development snapshot here. There's a nice chunk of repeated code that needs refactoring. Actually there's several.
Oh, for crying out loud! Can't link directly to a
You overestimate my perl-fu, Sir...
Nah. Been watching you document your learning on this site. Besides, it's not the Perl that's wrong with the program; it's the algorithms in general. This crumminess of this code transcends language barriers!
Couldn't resist. Today's (ack! yesterday's!) Peanuts [peanuts.com] appears to be the first appearance of Marcie, from 1972.

As the story goes and, to be honest, we're having a tough time processing it ourselves, especially without video of some made shots the 27-year-old Akkari, who had averaged just 7.6 points per game in the 23 games he'd previously played for Tripoli basketball club Mouttahed this season, scored 113 points on 40-of-69 shooting in a 173-141 win against Bejjeh in a Lebanese Division A League game. That total, which reportedly includes a ludicrous 32-of-59 mark from 3-point land, would FAR outstrip every single-game mark in the history of FIBA competition.

But for now, head coach Raymond Monica is only concerned with getting back to the .500 mark.
"For us to have a winning season this year, we have to win this game this week," Monica said. "So that's our motivation this week, to get back to .500."
The Wonder Boys (4-5 overall, 4-4 Great American Conference) will host the Southeastern Oklahoma State Savage Storm (2-7, 2-6) at Thone Stadium at Buerkle Field in Russellville on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. Party at the Plaza, the pre-game tailgating celebration outside the stadium on Centennial Plaza, will begin at noon.
ATU took a step toward its first winning season since 2009 last Saturday with a 26-17 victory at East Central University. The Wonder Boys' defense forced six turnovers, which was ATU's most takeaways in a single game since forcing six Ouachita Baptist University turnovers in a 38-28 Tech win on Oct. 20, 2007.
As is often the case in Oklahoma, wind was a factor in the game. Winds consistently gusted more than 20 mph from the north throughout the afternoon.
"The coin toss was probably the biggest play of the game," Monica said. "We had them going into the wind in the first and fourth quarters, and that helped create four interceptions because the wind was holding the ball up."
Southeastern Oklahoma State comes to Thone Stadium at Buerkle Field on a three-game losing streak. The Savage Storm ranks third in the GAC in total offense (445.3 yards per game), but SOSU is the most penalized team in the conference (83.2 yards per game) and is tied for last in the league in turnover margin (-10).
"They are doing a great job on offense," Monica said when asked about the Savage Storm. "Their quarterback (Nick Sioson) is able to stretch the field vertically, they have two receivers (Anthony Foster and Kaymon Farmer) who have more than 60 receptions this season and they have a running back (Devlon Wortham) who is creeping up on 1,000 yards rushing. It's a very explosive team."
ATU is 9-3-1 all-time against Southeastern Oklahoma State, including a 2-0 record against the Savage Storm since the formation of the GAC in 2011. The Wonder Boys topped SOSU 28-16 in 2011 and 45-38 in 2012.
Through a quirk in the schedule, this season marks the third straight year the Savage Storm travels to Russellville.
Saturday's ATU-SOSU game will be broadcast by KWKK 100.9 FM. Live video, live audio and live statistics will be available at www.arkansastechsports.com.
The Wonder Boys will close out their 2013 season on Nov. 16 with a home conference game against Harding University. Kickoff will be at 2 p.m.

To celebrate the landmark date, two of the UK's sports stars are urging people to sign up for tickets.
Gold medal hopeful Phillips Idowu urged the public to get behind Team GB.
"I'm from East London so it's literally my home Games. It's the perfect opportunity to win that gold medal and I hope people from across the country will sign up to come cheer on my teammates and I."
England Cricketer and recent Ashes hero Alastair Cook went on an exclusive tour of the Olympic Park recently to join the campaign to get people to sign up.
"London 2012 will be a once in a lifetime opportunity, the Olympic Games is the biggest sporting event in the world and whether you're an athlete or a fan you don't want to miss out. It's really important that people sign up for tickets; you won't get this chance again so go online today and register.
"Having great support behind you makes a big difference, I've experienced it myself in England as well as with the Barmy Army abroad and it really spurs you on. Having the stands packed full of British fans will hopefully inspire Team GB."
There are 6.6 million tickets available via the ticket application process for the Olympic Games. Details of tickets for the Paralympic Games will be announced later this year.

Is America losing its appetite for the war on drugs?
Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance and one of the nation's most prominent advocates for reforming the nation's drug laws, will give a lecture at UC Irvine on Tuesday night.
The lecture – "Stoners, Junkies, Science and the State" – will be held at 7 p.m. in the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center of the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering.
Admission is free and so is parking, but reservations are required. The deadline is Friday. To register, visit bio.uci.edu/newsroom/calendar/schneiderman-registration-form/.
Nadelmann has said that recently passed state marijuana laws are evidence the nation is changing its position on pot. Last November, voters in Washington state and Colorado passed measures making marijuana legal, and subjecting it to state regulation and taxation. Marijuana for medicinal purposes has long been legal in California, with a prescription.
"This past year was the best ever for our growing movement to end the war on drugs," Nadelmann wrote on Huffington Post in December. "Marijuana legalization and broader drug policy reform have moved from the fringes to the mainstream of U.S. and international politics."
The federal government still bans the sale and use of marijuana, but public opinion appears to be heading the other way. A recent poll by the Pew Research Center said that 60 percent of Americans think the feds shouldn't supersede state marijuana laws.
U.S. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a Costa Mesa Republican, introduced a bill last weekend that would amend the federal Controlled Substances Act so that it would "not apply to any person acting in compliance with state laws" relating to marijuana.
Link between colic, teen migraines
The pain of colic can make infants miserable, and the pain of a migraine can be debilitating to an adolescent or teen. A new study shows these kinds of pain might be related.
A study conducted at a Paris hospital indicated that 72.6 percent of young people ages 6 to 18 who sought medical treatment for a migraine had suffered colic as a baby. Only 26.5 percent of kids who came to the hospital for other kind of trauma had had colic.
An editorial accompanying the study, which appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association this week, estimated that colic occurs in 16 to 20 percent of infants.
Meds cheaper at big-box stores
If there's one thing you'd assume large chain pharmacies would do well, it would be competitive pricing on over-the-counter drugs. But an article in the May issue of ShopSmart says Target and Walmart beat the prices of the big chains every time.
The magazine, published by Consumer Reports, hired secret shoppers to compare prices on 185 non-prescription drugs at hundreds of stores across the country, including Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and supermarkets.
They found that Walmart had the lowest prices on 26 items, the most of any of the retailers; CVS had the highest prices on 18 items. Target offered the biggest savings on a single item: Its store-brand version of ibuprofen (24-count) is 73 percent cheaper than the store-brand item at Walgreens. Target's website says the 24-count package is 97 cents.
ShopSmart says buying huge bottles of OTC medicine isn't always the cheapest way to go, even though it might seem so. If you take a ton of Advil, for instance, the 300-pill bottle might be worth it (at $20.14, 7 cents per pill). But if you don't take a lot, the medium size (200 pills for $14.82, 8 cents per unit) would be a better bet, because the drug might expire before you get a chance to consume it all.

Stratford-upon-Avon stands where a Roman road forded the River Avon (Upper Avon), and a 19th-century bridge still spans the river alongside a 15th-century arched stone bridge. The first royal charter was granted in 1553. Shakespeare was born in 1564 in a half-timbered house on Henley Street. He attended the local grammar school adjoining the medieval Chapel of the Guild of the Holy Cross. In 1597 Shakespeare returned from London to the house known as New Place, where he died in 1616. His grave is in the parish church of Holy Trinity. It was not until 1769—more than a century and a half after the playwright's death, when the actor-producer David Garrick inaugurated the first of the annual birthday celebrations—that an attempt was made to preserve buildings and other memorials of Shakespeare's life in the town.
By the river the group of modern buildings known as the Shakespeare Centre includes a library and art gallery (opened in 1881) and a theatre (opened in 1932). April 23—the date of Shakespeare's death and, approximately, also of his birth—is celebrated annually in Stratford-upon-Avon, and every year from March until October there is a festival during which his plays are acted in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

Stan Heath is a survivor.
Frequently cited in recent years by college basketball writers encouraged to compile lists of "coaches on the hot seat," Heath instead wound up the 2012 season in the NCAA Tournament.
And that led Friday to the news that he'll be receiving a six-year contract extension from South Florida.
So his seat should remain cool for the next several years, as his term runs through the 2018 school year.
USF announced a similar extension for football coach Skip Holtz, as well.
"We're pleased to be able to extend Coach Holtz and Coach Heath," athletic director Doug Woolard said in a statement obtained by the Tampa Bay Times. "They're great representatives for both USF and their respective programs. I have great confidence in the leadership they are providing and the future of both our football and men's basketball programs."
Heath has been at USF since 2007, following stints at Kent State and Arkansas.
The Bulls, making their first NCAA Tournament since 1992, reached the third round of the NCAAs with victories over California and Temple.
They finished the season at 22-14 with a 12-6 record in Big East play.
The Tribune reported Heath's new contract averages $1.19 million annually, which represents a 32 percent increase over his previous salary.
He also can earn performance bonuses, including $50,000 for an NCAA bid and $25,000 for each victory in the tournament.

Clutch Cards open tough stretch, beat Braves
ST. LOUIS -- After sloshing their way through a recent 15-game stretch that had them playing four potential postseason opponents, the Cardinals began a second such test on Thursday night looking to justify their standing among the league's best.
There was much more for St. Louis to like about the manner in which this one got started.Full Game Coverage
ST. LOUIS -- After sloshing their way through a recent 15-game stretch that had them playing four potential postseason opponents, the Cardinals began a second such test on Thursday night looking to justify their standing among the league's best.
There was much more for St. Louis to like about the manner in which this one got started.Full Game Coverage
Facing an Atlanta club that had initiated St. Louis' recent 4-11 skid with a three-game sweep in late July, the Cardinals found some redemption in front of a Busch Stadium crowd of 37,363. Riding a succession of fifth-inning doubles and another quality start from Joe Kelly, the Cardinals opened a seven-game homestand with a 6-2 victory over the top team in the National League East.
The win was the Cards' sixth in their last eight games, helping them keep pace with the Pirates, who entered the day a game ahead in the NL Central standings. How the club fares during its next 16 games -- all of which will be against Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati -- will bring further clarity to how the Cardinals measure up against looming October foes.
"We've got a chip on our shoulder from that experience," said Matt Carpenter, who had his NL-leading 49th multi-hit game. "We played those teams [in late July/early August] and didn't play well.
"I compare it to when you have a good hitter and he goes 0-for-30, you know he's eventually going to come back and start hitting the ball again. I think it's the same way with this club. Against these teams, we played them and yeah, they got ugly. But we know we have a good team, and we have a chance to come back and win all of these games.
The Cardinals' offense revisited its defining quality of 2013 by coming through with four key hits with a runner in scoring position. Each drove in a run.
Down 2-1 following Justin Upton's two-run blast in the top of the fifth, the Cards extended the bottom half of the frame with three consecutive two-out doubles. A one-out walk to Pete Kozma and sacrifice bunt by Kelly turned the lineup over. Carpenter, now hitting .400 with runners in scoring position, then tied the game with a double.
Run-scoring doubles by Carlos Beltran and Matt Holliday pushed the Cardinals' lead to two.
"Getting hits like that, it doesn't happen a lot, it's just hard to get," Beltran said. "It seems like this year for us, it's been something that has been working for us. It seems like we're concentrating a little bit more with guys in scoring position and we're getting it done."
The Cardinals, who are hitting a Major League-best .327 as a team with runners in scoring position, have seven players hitting better than .350 with at least 50 at-bats in such spots. Even David Freese, one of the few to not thrive in at-bats with runners on second and/or third this season, came through before night's end.
After driving home a run with a groundout in the fourth, his two-out RBI single in the seventh capped the Cardinals' scoring.
"They're a good lineup and it's a challenge to go through it," said Braves starter Paul Maholm, who was making his first start since July 20. "The first four innings, I made my pitches. I just got to where you miss and they take advantage."
That lead, which would be padded with an unearned run off Maholm and another off reliever Anthony Varvaro, was in steady hands with Kelly. The most reliable pitcher in the Cardinals' rotation since the All-Star break, Kelly continued his roll.
Now 5-0 since becoming a permanent member of the rotation, Kelly threw a career-high 109 pitches in order to finish six innings. That was much-desired length for Mike Matheny, who was managing one man short in the bullpen. Edward Mujica was deemed unavailable before the game due to tightness in his upper back.
Kelly stranded six Braves on base while battling with what he described as less-than-ideal command of any of his pitches.
"I just kept missing and missing, and it was frustrating," Kelly said. "I just wanted to go out there and keep battling, even when you don't have your best stuff. ... Tonight, I was just fighting and scratching for anything to work up there. That's huge to know that you can get ground balls even when you don't have your best stuff."
Kelly induced a double play to erase a leadoff single in the fourth. Those accounted for two of 11 outs he recorded on the ground. Kelly also struck out three.
"I'm hoping he's just seeing the benefits of when he does get the ball on the ground, what can happen," Matheny said. "As he starts to pile up a lot of pitches, he makes a good pitch and all of a sudden a double play gets him out of the inning. That is really who I believe he should be. He still can strike a guy out, but I think he's going to continue to have a lot of success as he's working at the bottom of the zone and trusting his defense to play behind him."
Though Kelly allowed his first home run since July 6, he's done little else to find fault with since stepping in to steady the rotation. His personal five-game winning streak matches a Cardinals high this season, and the club is 7-1 since he transitioned to the rotation.
In the eight starts since that role change, Kelly has a 2.33 ERA.
"I love when he goes out there and competes," Carpenter said. "He's aggressive and pitching with confidence. When you have a clubhouse that sees that, you go into the game knowing we're going to get a good start. That's where you want to be as a pitcher, and that's what he's got going."

Q: How do I hide my JavaScript source code?
A: JavaScript, the way you most likely are using it, is a client side technology. That means that if you at all want to use JavaScript on your web site, it must be sent to the client in such a way that it can be read by the client machine and executed there. What happens at the client is not controllable by you - if the machine is able to read it, so is your user. Thus, any try at hiding the source code is futile. Anything you try to do to make it harder to read by the user is still not enough, because when the machine can read it out for execution, so can a user. So, forget all about trying to protect your source code. Place a copyright statement on it instead, that's the best copy protection that you will be able to find.

Q: How do I use 'javascript:' links?
A: Consensus on this area among professional web designers is that they shouldn't be used at all. There are strong arguments arguments towards this, from usability, accessibility, optimisation and standards comformance perspectives. Before I tell you how to use them, please read through this list first...
- Usability:
Something not often mentioned but one of the most important
factors in my view, is that the 'javascript:' pseudo-URI destroys
several layers of usability features. E.g:
- The link does in most cases only work when simply clicked, it
generally no longer works:
* When bookmarked
* When users chose 'open in new window' or 'open in new tab'
* When users to copy the link to clipboard for offline referencing
- Browsers that handle internal and external links different no longer
knows what kind of link it is
- Accessibility:
Of course, it's a question whether some users are able to use the
resource at all...
many corporate environments
- The link does no longer work in browsers that fail at supporting
- Optimisation:
There are different kinds of optimisations, but some common ones are
size and search engine optimisations.
- Links using 'javascript:' pseudo-URIs generally don't get spidered
by search engines.
- SCRIPT bodies in the HEAD or early in the BODY are generally
severely downgrading the relevancy of your page for any search terms
appropriate for the content, in the views of the search engines.
- If embedded in the page, the script adds to the size of the page
that the user has to download. That means that you have to pay for
larger data transfer ratios, and the user has to wait longer for the
page to download
- Scripts that are scattered through the site take more time to
upgrade and more work to maintain than if you instead moved all
scripting to separate files, leaving the HTML scriptless.
- Standards conformance:
There are a lot of web standards that you can have a look at. There's
also a level of conformance that could be called conforming to the
spirit of standards, as opposed to just the word of them.
- There is no 'javascript' URL scheme registred, so it's not a valid
resource identifier
- There are no specific security or semantics formally defined for the
'javascript' pseudo-URIs
- In the spirit of the semantic web, behavior as provided by scripting
should not be part of the document structure and/or content unless the
behavior can be considered to be the actual content provided
In other words, the best way to use them is to not use them. Anyway, for those of you that aren't convinced, here's how they work:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML4.01//EN"> <script type="text/javascript"> function fnEscape(elm){ elm.value='javascript:'+encodeURIComponent(elm.value); } function fnExecute(elm){ document.location=elm.value; } </script> <title>javascript: link creator</title> <fieldset> <textarea id="script"></textarea> <button onclick="fnEscape(document.getElementById('script'));">Escape</button> <button onclick="fnExecute(document.getElementById('script'));">Execute</button> </fieldset>
- That's not all, however. Links using 'javascript:' pseudo-URIs have a behavior such that if the code returns a value, that value will replace the current page, just like a normal link would. If the code on the other hand doesn't return a value, or returns the value undefined, it will not replace the current page. That means that you often want to write code like this: javascript:void(your code);. If you also don't want to overwrite any global variables you might use in the code, you can write the slightly longer javascript:(function(){your code})();.
However, 'javascript:' pseudo-URIs are mostly done entirely wrong. In almost all cases, you should have a real link in the href attribute and instead use JavaScript to override that behavior in the onclick event handler. So, here's the last thing I'll tell you:
The only case where you really want to use a 'javascript:' pseudo-URI is when you are creating bookmarklets - which could be described as small snippets of javascripts that work on any page, not just the one you place the link. Examples of this use can be for example DOM tree viewers. In all other cases, it's neither the best tool for the job nor the right thing to do, so don't.liorean <[lio@wg]>

SEATTLE — C.J. Wilcox continued his scoring binge in Pac-12 Conference play with 25 points, and Washington used another stingy defensive effort to stymie Colorado 64-54 on Wednesday night.
The Huskies (12-5) improved to 4-0 in conference play for just the fourth time in the past 35 seasons and just the second time in coach Lorenzo Romar's tenure at his alma mater. Again it was mostly because of their defense. After holding California to just 47 points last week on the road, Washington limited the Buffaloes to 36 percent shooting and tied for their second-lowest point total of the season.
Colorado was held 18 points below its season average.
Spencer Dinwiddie led Colorado (11-6, 1-4) with 13 points, while leading scorer Askia Booker scored nine before fouling out. He made just 3 of 14 shots.
Wilcox scored 14 in the second half and he got help from his backcourt teammates. Scott Suggs added 13 points, and combined with Wilcox, Andrew Andrews and Abdul Gaddy, Washington's guards scored 55 of its 64 points.
Colorado continued its slide ever since its disputed overtime loss at Arizona to start Pac-12 play earlier this month. The Buffaloes stumbled at Arizona State, then lost by three at home to UCLA last Saturday.
Colorado didn't find a solution to its woes on the road, despite Andre Roberson scoring 10 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.
Washington led 28-20 at the half, a season low in points for the Buffaloes, who missed 12 of their final 14 shots before the break. Colorado had as many turnovers as field goals (both seven) in the first half.
Washington was scoreless for the first 4:51 of the second half until Suggs, as the shot clock was about to expire, hit a step-back 3-pointer while Xavier Johnson crashed into him. The four-point play pushed the Huskies' lead back to nine at 32-23. The Huskies' lead reached double figures for the first time when Andrew Andrews spun at the top of the key and found Wilcox open coming off a screen on the wing for a 3 to put Washington up 37-27 with 12:48 left.
Colorado finally got a little offensive spark thanks to Eli Stalzer's driving three-point play — doubling his scoring total in four previous conference games this season — and a pair of baskets down low from Josh Scott. Dinwiddie scored on a drive to cut the Huskies' lead to six.
The lead was down to five after Gaddy split free throws and Johnson scored on a drive, but the Huskies' dominance of the offensive boards started to become a factor. After Wilcox badly missed a 3, Jenard Jarreau was fouled going for the offensive rebound and hit a pair of free throws. Wilcox then scored on a tough drive into the lane and Washington was back up 48-38 with 7:20 left.
Johnson scored on a tip-in with 5:10 left for the Buffaloes, their first points in more than 4 minutes, and they continued to linger. Dinwiddie's three-point play with 3:52 left cut the Huskies' lead to 52-45, but Wilcox again had the answer with a quick cut into the lane and 12-foot floater with 3:20 left. Colorado committed a turnover on its possession and Suggs found Aziz N'Diaye on a lob dunk to push the lead to 11 with 2:30 remaining.
Colorado got no closer than eight in the final seconds.
It was another sign of the defensive improvement by Washington, which came into the night the top team in the Pac-12 in scoring defense in conference games, allowing just 56.7 points. Washington got hands in passing lanes, rotated to alter shots and created difficulties for Colorado's offense.

For their latest single, "The Fighter," Gym Class Heroes collaborated with OneReublic's Ryan Tedder. But this is not their first collaboration. In fact they're known for bringing other artists in, either to write with or perform on their tracks.
Singer Travie McCoy and drummer Matt McGinley talked to CBS Local about working with Maroon 5's Adam Levine on "Stereo Hearts" as well as their recent collab with Tedder.
"I think whenever we collaborate with someone it's never for name's sake or for, 'This artist is hot at the moment, let's hurry up and work with them before the fire burns out.' It's usually, if it's someone we're inspired by or someone we're into," McCoy said. "For instance, with Adam, we've been Maroon 5 fans since before [their first album] Songs About Jane came out."
Their collaboration was just a wish-list item for a long time, McCoy relaid. "I remember earlier on, when we first got signed, they asked if there were any artists we'd like to collaborate with and Adam was one of the first names that we named."
Levine was still far from their first collaboration. Fans of the band remember their early single, "Cupid's Chokehold," which featured vocals from Fall Out Boy singer Patrick Stump. They've invited Speech from Arrested Development, Neon Hitch, William Beckett from the Academy Is…, Daryl Hall and The-Dream to collaborate with them in various roles on subsequent albums.
Most recently, the guys worked with Ryan Tedder on "The Fighter." McGinley characterized it as being a completely different experience from the Levine collaboration.
"In terms of the process of bringing those songs to life, there's not really a script for it," McGinley recounted. "With Adam we were working on 'Stereo Hearts' and we kind of brought him in mid-production. With 'The Fighter' Travis went out, got together with Ryan and they put their heads together and wrote the skeleton of 'The Fighter.' It can go any number of ways, I think, when collaborating with other people."
-Courtney E. Smith, CBS Local

panda panda panda
I haven't even photographed today's outfit yet, but since I'm backing up my hard drive because I have to bring my computer in again, here is a picture from last year (so…not that long ago). Filler, I know – but I hate that I've been leaving the blog empty so often. Besides, this photograph is featuring two of my favorite things: pandas and bright pink lipstick.
As long as I don't throw my computer out the window and/or it doesn't die on me again, I will be back to the regular posts in the morning.
p.s. The lipstick is MAC's Girl About Town.

Welcome to the Graduate Programs at Pace Law
Graduate programs at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University offer students the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of their chosen areas of law, while at the same time learning the skills necessary to put their new knowledge to work.
Pace Law offers leading Master of Laws (LLM) programs in environmental law and comparative legal studies. Within these two programs, students may choose from among several specializations according to their particular interests and goals.
The Pace Law LLM in Environmental Law is consistently ranked by US News & World Report among the top environmental law programs in the United States. Students may choose from over 40 environmental courses offered each year, and may participate in ongoing political, economic and social research conducted by our internationally renowned faculty. Within the LLM in Environmental Law, students may choose optional specializations in Global Environmental Law, Climate Change Law or Land Use and Sustainable Development Law.
- The LLM in Comparative Legal Studies welcomes non-US trained lawyers seeking greater knowledge of US law and the US legal system. The program begins with an introduction to US legal principles and methods which builds on the student's experience in his or her home jurisdiction. Following this introduction, students may choose courses in specialized areas of US law, including public or private international law, intellectual property, dispute resolution, business transactions or international human rights. They may also choose an optional specialization in International Business Law.
Aspiring legal scholars and teachers may apply to the highly competitive SJD Program in Environmental Law. The SJD, or Doctor of Juridical Science, is a research-oriented degree program intended to guide new scholars through the process of writing and publishing a doctoral dissertation that creates original knowledge in a specific area of environmental law.
JD candidates at Pace Law may enroll in a dual JD/LLM program in environmental law, in which they can earn the LLM degree in as little as one additional semester.
The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University is accredited by the American Bar Association and the New York State Department of Education. All Pace Law LLM programs and the SJD program have received acquiescence from the American Bar Association.

In Reply to: Re: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy posted by fulloffaith on March 03, 2000 at 23:16:19:
Cheryl,My name is Jo Ann and my daughter is 7 and has mild to moderate CP. I have been following Hyperbaric Oxygen info fo a while and I believe in my heart this is the treatment for her. My daughters name is Jordan and her legs are mainly affected by the CP. My problem is finding the funds to pay for the treatments. It is my understanding that insurance in most cases won't pay for the treatment because it hasn't been approved yet. I also have the other problem that I live in Texas and I can't find a place here that is doing the treatment for Neurological purposes. They primarily do wound care. Please if you can give me any pointers please do. My e-mail address is [email protected]
Thanks, Jo Ann
: : In the fall of 1998, my daughter was finally diagnosed with CP. She was 5.5yrs old at the time. After she had a gait analysis done, the orthopedic doctor recommended that she have tendon lengthenings performed and possibly derotational osteotomies. After years of being told she would grow out of her gait problem we decided we would take charge of her treatment and see what could be done instead of surgery. We had many relatives tell us about a show that they saw about a lady who was having success using hyperbaric oxygen treatments with her twins that have CP. Kacey had 2 sessions of hyperbaric treatments totaling 54 treatments in 1999. In the fall of 1999 the gait lab called to make what they thought was a post surgical appointment. When I told them she did not have the surgery only hyperbaric treatments they wanted to do the recheck anyway. We finally got the results and are exstatic!!!! She has improved physical assessment with diminished spasticity. "Kacey is continuing to make satisfactory progress without surgical intervention and we would suggest continuing with her non-operative treatment. We would not suggest any surgical intervention at this stage. Needless to say I have been telling anyone who would listen. Good luck and God bless.: : Cheryl

i love this series
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I liked this a surprising amount for something that I had better odds of tossing a coin 13 times in the air and getting heads on all of them. The characters are likeable, the world is able to be unique and complex without being too confusing, the art design is appealing, the voice acting is engaging, hell even the background music is well done. I guess my one problem is the ending. It's not that it was a sad ending or anything, that doesn't necessarily lose any points for me, it's just that, well, your other 'toons are an obvious spoiler that they live, so why not end on that? it's not going to surprise me in the sequel, if there is one, when it turns out they live. If it wasn't for that this would be a perfect five, hell it's pretty close already. I just think it was a weak ending on an otherwise enjoyable, damn near perfect, flash.
Already announced it as an eight parter, I was just posting the first chunk out as the rest is still in development, but I getcha, thanks

Please note this blog is no longer active. This post was last updated 7 years, 3 months ago and may contain out of date prices, opening times, links and information. Go to www.visitlondon.com for the lastest visitor information for London.
Shopping for books in London is a perfect way to pass the time. Here are some of our favourite independent bookshops in London – they're ideal for Christmas presents!
1. Foyles
Famous Foyles is a sprawling department store with books on every subject. There are four floors of books to choose from and a café to contemplate your books. You'll even spot a few well chosen second-hand books nestling between the new ones to give you a comprehensive choice.
2. Grant & Cutler
Specialising in foreign language books (in more than 150 languages), Grant & Cutler is the place to go if you're learning a new language or missing books in your first language. Grant & Cutler stock international classics for students, the latest blockbusters from around the world and any educational language material you might ever decide you need.
3. Daunt Books
Daunt Books in Marylebone High Street is a very satisfying place to buy books. The old-fashioned wood panelling and balconies seem to saturate the books with wisdom and gravitas. Daunt have a large selection of travel books and they sensibly place guidebooks, novels and travel diaries together by country.
4. My Back Pages
My Back Pages in Balham is stuffed with second-hand books. You can lose hours in this shop, get cramp from prolonged rummaging through boxes or unexpectedly clamber over some books and discover another customer sitting on the floor dreamily building a book castle of their potential purchases. If you leave My Back Pages without armfuls of books, you're doing it wrong.
5. RD Franks
RD Franks stocks the most attractive books in town. Specialising in books and magazines about fashion and textiles, you'll find imported and specialist glossy mags predicting cutting edge trends. RD Franks is worth a visit if you're a stylish reader. Frustratingly, the shop is only open during office hours and not on Saturdays, so the majority of customers are students hanging about reading the magazines.
6. The London Review Bookshop
Visiting The London Review Bookshop will make you smarter. It's the very antithesis of the bargain book selection in your local supermarket. Bookworms will be pleased to hear that the books at the London Review Bookshop appear to be chosen for their literary, imaginative and intellectual merit. And they serve cake.
7. The Riverside Bookshop
The Riverside Bookshops is tiny, but beautiful. There's a good selection of the latest fiction, and a little bit of everything else. Florence Welch (of Florence and the Machine) recently said it was one of her favourite places in London to hang out. It's also temptingly close to VL Towers and causes us much accidental lunchtime book buying.
8. The Persephone Bookshop
The Persephone Bookshop is a publishing house bookshop selling Persephone books. The books are exciting – re-prints of forgotten novels by female authors with vintage designs on the endpapers. So much love has gone into creating these books, it's hard not to eulogise at great length about how comforting they are to curl up with. You'll be back for more.
9. Quinto Bookshop
Quinto Bookshop is a traditional, second-hand bookshop on Charing Cross Road. The shop is packed with books on all subjects. Oddly, most of the fun seems to take place just outside Quinto's front door. Bibliophiles have been known to queue up outside the shop after the monthly stock-take to get their hands on the incoming treasures, and we've spotted some fans of Zachary 'Spock' Quinto posing outside for Vulcan salute photos (and probably heading up the road for another photo session outside Koenig's bookshop afterwards!)
10. Ripping Yarns
Remember your favourite childhood books that inspired your love of reading? Ripping Yarns specialises in collectable children's books so you can have more adventures with the Famous Five. If you can't remember the title or the author, you can describe the creatures and the story to the bookshop staff and they'll probably be able to find it for you. Ripping Yarns also sell vintage annuals, children's compendiums and comics.
