News: 2015 is the FIFTIETH anniversary of the original publication of the Nuclear War card game. Doug Malewicki first published it in 1965. If you want to hear about all the new things we are creating, you should sign up for my mailing list!
More news: we created a "Supergerm" pin for the Pin Bazaar promotion for Origins 2018. We did not quite sell them all at Origins, so we will sell the remainder here. I only had 300 of them made,
so they are rare. $10 each. Or you can get them at Gencon if any are left.
Here is the new box art for the 50th Anniversary Edition:
For those fans who want a super deluxe experience, we created a nice, limited edition (numbered) wooden box to put the special anniversary edition in. Here is a picture of the first prototype of that wooden box. Note the peace/war slider to make it easy to remember whether propaganda cards work! It was released in a special limited edition to kickstarter backers. At the moment, I do not have any copies to sell.
By the way, here is a picture of the original box from 50 years ago:
For a long time, fans have been able to play an authorized version of our Nuclear War card game online at gametableonline. Sadly they and their webpage have gone "on hiatus". If/when it comes back, we will let you know.
BIG News:
We have created an app for iPhone and Droid - it's the spinner from the Nuclear War card game below. You swipe your finger across the screen to start it spinning, and when it stops, the voice of Claudia Christian (you may know her from Babylon 5) will tell you the result (in a Russian accent!). It is available now in the Android Marketplace. Do a search for "Nuclear War Spinner". only 99 cents. And then please give it a review and rating! For iphone, go to this link or go to our page
NUCLEAR WAR CARD GAME: A comical cataclysmic card game for 2-6 players of all ages. A humorous confrontation between touchy world powers as each player attempts to sway his opponents' populations with diplomacy, propaganda, and finally nuclear weaponry. Little old ladies defect in electric cars and the dread SUPERGERM spreads devastation! Takes about 10 minutes to learn and about 30 minutes to play. Invented by Doug Malewicki in 1965, this game has remained popular for over 40 years. Anyone who ever had to participate in a "civil defense drill" by hiding under his or her desk in grade school, or ever had a bomb shelter in the back yard should play this game. One of the few games where it is possible to have no winners (often everybody loses!). You have to play it to believe it. This game's a blast! It was chosen for Games Magazine's "Games 100" for 1984. "The quintessential `beer-and-pretzels' game: simple, fast, easy to learn, and loads of fun. Minimal prep time: shuffle the decks and deal." - Tim Kask, Adventure Gaming Magazine. (Boxed, 140 cards and spinner). - $29.95
IMPORTANT NOTE: Any of the four games (War, Escalation, Proliferation, and WMD) can be played by itself.
We also have a "rubberized" version of this playmat. I'm not sure what the material is (neoprene?) but it is the kind of stuff they make mouse pads out of. It makes a great
mousepad, and will make your opponents in Nucwar very jealous. You can get one now for only $12.
You can get lots of cool gamer badges from our good friends at JBM Press:
INDIVIDUAL NEW NUCLEAR WAR CARDS are not available in any of the games: buy them here for $3 each:
New Nuclear War Cards.
MAD SCIENTIST: thinks he can triple the power of one of your warheads, or is he crazy?
FOLD IN SPACE: Allows you to have additional 'special' cards in your hand.
250 MEGATON WARHEAD: Released at Origins 2015. Only the MX Missile and the Space Platform can carry it!
DAMPING FIELD gives you one full turn of protection from nuclear explosions.
BREAKING NEWS:We have been out of the Nuclear Misfunction dice that were included with Nuclear Escalation and Nuclear Proliferation for quite
some time. (A six sided die with a nuclear cloud for a "one" pip) We have found a new source, and they are available again. The initial batch are ruby
red. There will be more colors soon, including the infamous "glow in the dark" ones! Meanwhile you can order one of the red ones for $1.75 if you like. One also comes inside any copy of NE or NP you order now.
To buy one of the "Glow in the Dark" (radioactive?) misfunction dice for $2:
IMPORTANT NOTEabout the misfunction dice: the ones we have now are not "inked". That means the numbers are hard to read unless you fill them in with a Sharpie "fine" pen. This will be true of the individual ones we sell above, and the ones included with the Nuclear Escalation and Nuclear Proliferation games.
The NUCLEAR WAR CARD GAME won the Origins Awards HALL OF FAME on July 4, 1998, as one of the best games of all time! (for info on the origins awards click here)
We always have the annual National Nuclear War Card Game Tournament at the annual Origins Game Convention.. Be sure and attend if you can, because we always give away a great prize like a Supergerm watch or alarm clock, that can't be bought in stores. We also occasionally run an email Nuclear War tournament over a weekend. If you want to be in the next one, go to our store page (link at the bottom of this page) and ask to be on our email mailing list.
Both the Nuclear Escalation and Nuclear Proliferation games described below are supposed to come with a "Radioactive" Nuclear Misfunction die (just a 6-sided die with a mushroom cloud instead of a "one"). For awhile we had a new "Nuclear Misfunction dice". These have full color pictures on all six sides, including supergerm and supervirus as the two spots on the "two" side! Ack! We have run out of these, and not sure when or if we can get more. If you buy a Nuclear Escalation or Nuclear Proliferation right now, you'll get one of the misfunction dice mentioned above, which has a nuclear cloud instead of a one. Sorry!
(Boxed, 148 cards plus our special, "radioactive" die.) - (Note: it has been REPRINTED in 2006 - with brand new art on the cards! Includes an anti-missile vs missile chart for all four games.)
(for info on the origins awards click here)
Price $29.95 To order Nuclear Escalation:

To see some of the cards (B-1 bomber, Minuteman, MX, Titan) click here.
Note that there is a titan missile in the Nuclear Escalation game. You may not realize it, but they turned a former titan missile silo into a museum near Tucson, Arizona. You can actually go down into the command center and turn the key that would have launched a 9-megaton warhead at one of three targets. (The crew was only told "target one" "target two" or "target three". The actual destination was top secret.) This is a real site, not a simulation. See their website at www.titanmissilemuseum.org. And they sell Nuclear Escalation in the gift shop!If you visit southern Arizona on vacation (Tucson, Tombstone, OK Corral, Kartchner Caverns, Pima Air & Space Museum) the Titan Missile Museum is WELL worth the trip. The tour takes about an hour.
Sorry, we are temporarily out of Nuclear Proliferation. Not sure exactly when we will have more.
NUCLEAR WAR, NUCLEAR ESCALATION and NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION now have NEW ART on the cards. The backs are the same as all the other cards, but there is new art on the faces, and we are including TWO NEW optional cards for Nuclear War. You can see them on This Page Please note that all of the cards are now in full color.

An amusing LETTER we received about Nuclear War (it's a bit fuzzy but I think you can read it).
Another FAN EMAIL we received about Nuclear War.
This page shows some photos of some special fans playing Nuclear War at a Naval Base.
NUCLEAR WAR BOOSTER PACKS: All-new set of full color Nuclear War cards, same backs, same size as the other Nuclear War cards. Each booster pack comes with 8 randomly selected bonus cards to add to your Nuclear War set. New secrets, new specials, new sizes of warheads, including the incredible 200-megaton bomb & the horrifying Doomsday device. Sorry, no longer available. We have finally run out of these, and do not plan to reprint them.
BOOSTER PACK SPECIAL DEAL To get an "almost complete" set of many of the 47 cards from the booster packs in this hand-assembled set click here:Almost Complete Set (We really can't even assemble an "almost" complete set anymore, so the best we can do is an "assortment of booster cards". See me at any of the many conventions I attend, and pick out individual booster cards for 25 cents each!)
Note: If you buy a lot of booster cards, you will end up with a lot of cards you don't need, and perhaps wonder what is a good "Card Mix." We have a discussion of that in the Nuclear War Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
INDIVIDUAL CARDS: If you have found most of the cards, but just need one more (see the cardlist link below), we will sell you any one specified individual card for $3 or $8. Specify which card you need
in "Comments". Unfortunately we can NOT sell you the two new cards that are now in Nuclear War individually for $3 each. In order to get them, we'd have to break open a pack and throw away the other cards.
You can buy JUST the MISSILE deck from Nuclear War for $10.00 and this will include those two new cards.
To buy an individual card (specify which one in "comments") other than the "super rare" ones:
Note: Do not try to buy any of the "super rare" cards listed on this page without writing first and asking if that card is available. To buy a "super rare" card for $8, click here:
To buy just the Nuclear War missile deck and get the two new cards:
Note: we are out of the Nuclear War missile decks. You can make a preorder, and we'll ship it to you when we get more, but it may be several months. I'm not sure just how long that will be.
You can now buy a BLANK DECK of Nuclear War cards. This is a deck of 56 cards, with the backs the same as all the other Nuclear War cards, but the faces completely blank. Make up your own secrets. Add odd-sized warheads. Replace missing cards. Confuse your friends. Only $10 per deck.
We have put together two packages we call Nuclear War Bonus Packs #1 and #2. They are primarily for sale at conventions, or directly from us. We just put them in zip lock bags, so they aren't necessarily going through the regular distribution channels.)
In Nuclear War Bonus Pack #1 you get 9 new countries (different from the ones in Nuclear Proliferation), plus 5 warhead cards, plus a set of population cards, a bumper sticker, (To see some of our bumper stickers, click here.) and a "player assistance chart" that reminds you how many population to deal, how space platforms work, what spies do, and which abms shoot down which missiles or bombers. Only $7 (plus the usual postage and handling.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: This bonus pack was created with the old-style white population cards that you have to cut apart. The price is not enough to cover the cost of the new deluxe population cards. If you want Bonus Pack #1 but with the NEW population cards, see "Bonus Pack #3" below!
Nuclear War Bonus Pack #2 (also known as INDIA/PAKISTAN WAR) is the rules for combining our NUCLEAR WAR CARD GAME and Mayfair Games' INDIA RAILS. You play India Rails, but whenever you draw a 'load' card, you may draw a special card (provided in the bonus pack) that allows you to draw a Nuclear War card. If you end up with a combination of Nuke War cards that fits (missile and warhead) you can Nuke a city that will delay your opponents. Included in the bonus pack is an orange china marker so you can mark the radioactive areas on the board (no one can build rails there). For $7 you get the rules, 15 cards, and an orange crayon to mark the 'radioactive' areas of the map, (and an extra set of population cards, which you don't need to play this variant, but you can always use a fresh deck of population cards).
Nuclear War Bonus Pack #3:
NOTE: Bonus Pack #3 is just Bonus Pack #1 plus the $10 deluxe population deck.

The Buffalo Sabres announced on Wednesday that the Lindy Ruff tenure in Buffalo is over as the coach was officially "relieved of his duties." The longest serving coach in the NHL Ruff (hired in 1997) has been let go after 16 seasons behind the bench of the blue and gold. The news came as a bit of a shock to most as many fans had been calling for him to be fired but didn't expect the move so soon or for their boo's to be heard, but last nights loss to the Winnipeg Jets proved to be the tipping point for GM Darcy Regier in his decision to part ways with Lindy Ruff.
The Buffalo Sabres were off to a rocky start and have quickly found themselves near the bottom of the Eastern Conference and in the running for a top 5 pick in the upcoming draft. The Sabres were playing uninspired hockey and acted like they could care less of the outcome which showed that Ruff's voice was no longer being heard, when that happens it's only a matter of time before a new voice is brought in to turn things around. Ruff enjoyed some early success behind the Sabres bench coaching them to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1999 and back to back 50 win seasons in 2005-2006, and 2006-2007 but lately it appeared that his well had run dry failing to make the playoffs all but twice in the last 5 years.
Although I was calling for Ruff to be fired on twitter, it's sad to see Ruff gone and for the first time on Thursday night I will see someone else behind the Sabres bench. Although things lately didn't work out in Buffalo make no mistake Lindy Ruff is an excellent NHL coach and will have no trouble finding another coaching job if and when he choses and he will likely succeed with his new team.
Now that the curtain has fallen on the Lindy Ruff era in Buffalo it's time to start asking what's next for Buffalo- Is a simple coaching change enough to turn the Buffalo Sabres around or is more needed?
Here's what we know, Rochester Americans coach Ron Rolston has been given the task of taking over the 6-10-1 Sabres. With the Americans Rolston has had an opportunity to coach some Sabres- Marcus Foligno, Cody Hodgson and TJ Brennan and is known as a coach who is good at building up and developing young players. He's a good teaching coach who has patience with younger players and will hopefully help to develop Mikhail Grigorenko better than the former head coach. Despite Rolston being the "interim" coach since he has a good track record with young players he could easily take over the reigns full time as the Sabres are a team built for the future with both Grigorenko and Girgensons as the future. If Rolston is able to by some miracle turn around this lacklustre Sabres team look for him to stick around for the foreseeable future.
We also know that the Sabres team that took the ice on Tuesday night will be virtually the same going forward- at least for now. Many people are saying that Ryan Miller could be on his way out next and I agree but for different reasons. Some are saying he has under-performed this season and his meltdown on Sunday is a major reason Ruff is no longer the head coach. Aside from Thomas Vanek, Ryan Miller is the only Buffalo Sabre to show up and play well consistently, he needs help and a new coach may be able to help the defence. The only reason Miller will be shipped out of town is because he wants to be, because he doesn't see a bright future with the Sabres and wants a change of scenery.
The Next thing the Sabres need to think about is trading for some players to help improve the team. At the end of this season the Sabres will have 11 players that will either be UFA or RFA and Vanek and Miller will join that list the follow season. There's some tough decisions coming up for Terry Pegula and Darcy Regier- do they continue with the same players or dump the veterans and run with the youngsters such as Cody Hodgson, Marcus Foligno and Tyler Ennis? Now that Pegula and Regier have shown they are willing to make changes to improve the team, there's a chance they will be willing to party with some of their current players. Could they possibly land a Bobby Ryan or Ryan O'Reilly in exchange for a Drew Stafford, Nathan Gerbe or even Luke Adam (remember him).
Now that a coaching change has been made the onus falls to the players to start actually playing hockey and change the tide for the Buffalo Sabres, it's easier to fire a head coach than 20 players, but if things don't start changing the players will start falling.
It will be interesting to see if the Buffalo Sabres can turn things around under new head coach Ron Rolston. After complaining about Lindy Ruff and his style of coaching. The players wanted a coaching change they got their wish now it's their turn to step it up.

Lindy Ruff Fired: What's Next For the Buffalo Sabres?

Rebecca Romijn has made the cut — that of the hair variety.
And it seems as though the bob is starting to give the pixie cut a run for its trendsetting money.
The "King & Maxwell" actress debuted her new blunt bob haircut Saturday at the Baby2Baby Gala at the Book Bindery in Culver City. She's the latest blond celeb to go under the headline-making shears, now that Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lawrence, Pamela Anderson and Kristin Chenoweth have shocked fans by doing away with their long locks.
PHOTOS: 50 most beautiful female celebrities
At the same event, the mother of twin girls Dolly and Charlie shared that she was done having kids.
"Two was always the goal, and we got that and here we are," Romijn told Us Weekly.
Romijn attended the gala with her husband, actor Jerry O'Connell, whom she married in 2007. But the blond beauty is still referred to by her former married name: Rebecca Romijn Stamos, she said in the August issue of Redbook. The last surname would belong to "Full House" alum John Stamos, whom she married in 1998 and divorced in 2005.
As for whether they keep in touch, Romijn said not so much.
"I have no idea what is going on with him these days," she said.
The second annual fete honored actress Drew Barrymroe and was also attended by stylist Rachel Zoe, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, Busy Philipps, Julie Bowen, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Rebecca Gayhart with husband Eric Dane, Jesse Williams, Jaime King, Malin Ackerman, Jessica Capshaw, Molly Sims, Joel McHale and Ali Fedowetsky.

More often than not, cleanliness is associated with a certain quality of life. No one ever encourages another person to "be messier" or "less organized." Often, when a person is messy, they are encouraged to "tidy up," or "put their belongings in their place." I am often a person who is told to be "neater," but why? Who says messy is bad? I know where my items are located, I do not have an animal infestation in my room, and my roommate does not seem to be bothered by my mess. So why do I feel an obligation to apologize for not being incredibly neat and tidy?
Messiness, a proven indicator of creativity, merits just as much praise as being neat and orderly. While a messy room or workspace may not look as aesthetically pleasing as a clean one, that does not mean it cannot function just as well or even better. Accord-
ing to a report on an article from Monitor on Psychology, "while neatness seems to correlate with making socially-responsible decisions, it appears that messiness leads to higher levels of creative and innovative thinking." The idea that messiness actually spurs creativity was often assumed to be a crutch used by messy people to explain their clutter, yet it is actually a concrete observation, supported by research. The chaos and muddle in a mess often leads one to see items in a manner they would not be able to in a tidier setting.
Additionally, messiness might be the product of other obligations. Cleaning can take a significant amount of time. So, while it may seem that a person who resides in a constant mess is simply lazy, perhaps it is the exact opposite. Maybe their mess is due to their commitment to some project; a person may simply have no time to clean their space due to their busy schedule. Also, a mess often occurs when one is deeply engrossed in their work; at the cusp of a great realization, papers tend to be scattered everywhere. Yet, Tim Harford, a British economist, explains that when a person finishes their work, they immediately feel the need to clean up their space. They completed their best work in the midst of a complete mess, so why do they feel the need to clean at the end? It is in these states of messiness that we often finish great work. Harford continues to explain, "people spend time and money organizing themselves for the sake of organizing, rather than actually looking at the end goal and usefulness of such an effort."
Lastly, life is not neat, and a messy person is able to embrace that instead of attempt to tame it. While a neat and tidy person often tries to reign in chaos by organizing, a messy person accepts catastrophe, clutter, and disorder, which might actually lead to a less stressful life. Scholastic News recently published an article explaining that parents should allow their children to embrace messiness as it allows them to view life as "unstructured." Messiness encourages children to make mistakes, and "encourages creative effort regardless of outcome." While society often feels the necessity to stray away from mess, we must begin to take an alternate approach. I am not arguing that termites, bugs, and mold growing in a bedroom is ideal, but clothes strewn on a floor, papers cluttering a desk, and an unmade bed may point to an incredibly productive person. There is a line between being slovenly and messy. It is important to also see that, while a space may seem incredibly messy to one person, it can make complete sense to the person who lives there. Instead of constantly attempting to force a messy friend or family member to clean up their act, try to embrace their mess and perhaps your own mess as well.

Today we read editions of Shakespeare's plays that feature regular spelling and punctuation, acts and scenes, line numbers, explanatory notes, and numerous stage directions. Yet many of these elements were missing in the first printings of Shakespeare's works. They were added by generations of Shakespeare editors, who have tried to provide a text that is as readable and as reliable as possible. The task has been daunting for various reasons, including the garbling of words and lines by the first printers and the existence of different versions of the same play. Editors have explored every aspect of Shakespeare's world and works to provide the evidence that will help them come up with the best text.
The New Variorum Edition of Shakespeare (NVS) is not just another edition. It is a compendium of all the meaningful contributions of the different important editions of Shakespeare's works for the past four hundred years. The printed variorum works by having a basic text (called the copy text) at the top of a page. Under it are listed the decisions that editors of Shakespeare's works have made about certain words, stage directions, and other parts of the text over the years. Below that list appear notes citing commentary from generations of scholars up to the present day. Each variorum edition then continues with information gathered by the series editors on subjects such as the play's sources, its date of composition, various critical approaches to the play's themes and characters, and its performance history.
The print edition is thus a brilliantly designed database for the printed page, and it uses abbreviations and cross-references to provide quick access to commentary and contextual documents. Variorum editions are now also digitized, and each element is tagged in XML, enabling new forms of representation and still more extensive linking of data, documents, and full text of primary and secondary material. The coding allows the development of interfaces that can help readers to see patterns in the choices editors have made and to see different versions of the same line or passages. Eventually, as more plays are coded, each play in the NVS will be able to speak to the others in the edition—and, ultimately, to a wider canon of plays and their editions, stage histories, and critical reception. This will allow everything from the closest of close reading to distant reading and data mining of an entire corpus of plays.
A detailed description of some of the possibilities opened up by the digitization of the NVS is given by Paul Werstine, a general editor of the edition, in "Past Is Prologue: Electronic New Variorum Shakespeares" (Shakespeare 4.3 [2008]: 224–36). A bibliography of other articles on variorum editing and the NVS can be found here.
Alan Galey, a member of the NVS committee, pioneered the XML coding of the NVS edition of The Winter's Tale in his ENVS interface. See http://individual.utoronto.ca/alangaley/visualizingvariation/ for an introduction to the interface and the many opportunities afforded by a digital variorum.

Streaming help is on the way for more baseball fans for the upcoming season. MLB has finally worked out a deal with Comcast SportsNet to allow streaming of local team telecasts it holds the rights to via the NBC Sports app. As of press time, the announcements were made in both Chicago and Philadelphia, with more regions (such as San Francisco Bay Area) expected over the next few days.
Of course, this allows streaming locally for those who already receive CSN via an active subscription with a local cable or satellite provider. CSN Chicago has already been streaming its Bulls (NBA) and Blackhawks (NHL) telecasts via this app. This deal includes both the Cubs and White Sox telecasts they carry.
In Philadelphia, the CSNPhilly.com local streams replace a PlayStation package previously in place which enabled PlayStation streaming for a whopping (reported) $44.95 per month.
These moves are long overdue. Fans pay a lot of money for their TV service, especially sports fans, and are entitled to receive these games via whatever means they have.
This deal reportedly is for regular season games. We do not know yet whether or not spring training games will be included for this season.
TNT is looking to hype its upcoming stretch of five consecutive Monday night doubleheaders which begin on Feb. 27th. These will be in addition to the usual Thursday night package.
Whatever the reason, TNT is calling these telecasts "Players Only" and plans to have former players handle the play-by-play, analysis, and even the studio segments.
They obviously didn't consider the train wreck of the ESPN studio presentation last season of not having a true broadcast host, which they ESPN corrected for this season.
Brent Barry and Greg Anthony will each be thrust into play-by-play roles on these Monday night games. Barry will work with Derek Fisher and Grant Hill as game analysts, while Anthony will work with Kevin McHale and Rip Hamilton on his crew.
With the fast pace of an NBA game, having three men on the crew already limits the amount of time the analysts have to talk. Not having an experienced and professional play-by-play broadcaster will likely add to the confusion. Viewers may or may not hear a discussion about the play in progress, but it will be without the broadcast leadership needed to keep it all together.
There won't even be any relief for the Monday night studio segments. Instead of Ernie Johnson and what seems to be a cast of thousands talking over each other and cracking jokes (on Thursdays), TNT plans to have the studio group consist of Chris Webber, Isiah Thomas, and Baron Davis.
I have an idea. Let all of these former players become network executives for their next few meetings, and put them in charge of scheduling the professional broadcasters to do these games.
Over at ESPN, the network has announced its first "flex" of a scheduled NBA telecast, and it will come during January. To their credit (by flexing in mid-season), the network has quietly dropped the scheduled Chicago vs. Miami telecast scheduled for Friday Jan. 27th. In its place will be the surging Houston Rockets taking on Philadelphia. Nice to see the network taking notice that the 76ers are showing signs of life this season.
As we get ready to find out which teams will be in the Super Bowl, it appears that big audiences await the Conference Championship games coming up on Sunday (1/22).
The Pittsburgh win over K.C. this past Sunday night was the most watched prime time game (not a Super Bowl) in playoff history. The earlier Green Bay win over Dallas on Fox finished as the most watched NFC Divisional Playoff telecast, not only for Fox, but for any network.
Normally, we don't spend any time or concern about the commercials for the Super Bowl before or after the game. However, this year there is one exception. An auto manufacturer (Hyundai) will make media news with a 90 second spot to run immediately after the game ends. What makes this media news is that the commercial will be produced "during the game" and will include "off the field moments" surrounding the game. In this age where social media and instant updates are becoming a part of the sports media culture, this could be (emphasis on "could") be one spot actually worth caring about.
The TV work of Alex Rodriguez during the MLB post-season with Fox Sports had led to another TV gig, although this with CNBC. Rodriguez will host a TV show in the spring called "Back In The Game" on CNBC which pairs former athletes in need of money with financial experts there to help them.
One has to think that the potential for all around fan backlash may be at a pinnacle. Between the fans who dislike Rodriguez for his actions which led to a one year suspension, and the fans who have zero sympathy for sports figures who have and lose millions of dollars, it will be interesting to see if this show delivers any ratings.
INDIANAPOLIS: How about this? Starting on Feb. 6th, there will be an actual local and live sports radio show in the market. WNDE-AM will debut "Flagrant Foul" from 6 to 9 AM, hosted by (sister station) WFBQ personalities Dave Gunn and Don Stuck. The city's other sports talkers, WXNT and WFNI The Fan continue to air network shows in morning drive.
Ft. MYERS: WFCN 99.3 ESPN Program Director Chris Beasley is now co-hosting the midday show along with Gentry Thomas. Thomas' co-host, David Moulton, who had been with the station for 17 years, was dismissed last week.
No "official" reason for this dismissal, which was first announced by Moulton via social media. Interesting that it came just days after a Ft. Myers News Press story quoting Moulton about the station not renewing the contract of co-host Mark Miller last June. The two had been paired for roughly 10 years on the station. To recap, the Program Director took over for the "dismissed" co-host days after unfavorable quotes in the local newspaper. But no "official" reason given.

If living within a busy city, it can prove both a profitable and flexible career option driving a vehicle registered for profit-sharing operations such as Uber rentals. Companies like Uber and Lyft have excelled greatly over traditional taxi firms due to the convenience and affordability they afford their clients.
Role of Technology in Ride-Sharing Functions
Since its founding in 2009 in the US, Uber has for instance enjoyed immense success that has spiraled to a global scale. In recent years, the profit-sharing company has moved with a unique 'tap to ride' service that is available to users exclusively via a Smartphone app.
As a result, public car services have become efficient and cost-effective for both customers and drivers. The company utilizes an intelligent mapping system to locate the position of a taxi driver when someone requests a vehicle, which is dependent upon closeness of service-provider to the customer. As an example, Uber's philosophy is linking a driver to the client in below five minutes which implies you would hardly run out of work if you rent Uber cars. As well, working with a ride-sharing taxi firm makes it possible for self-employed drivers to work either as much or as little as they wish at any time of day.
The market for uber rentals and other ride-sharing companies is currently going through rapid change. New laws are getting implemented in different locations to regulate the dynamic economic industry within which they function. For this reason, it would be helpful understanding how the matter of insurance comes into play for the affected drivers.
As an example, Uber earnings can be quite attractive for people who invest in them. However, their drivers and those of other profit-sharing taxi companies have to deal with the limitations of contingent coverage when going to pick up passengers. Some personal auto policies may not cover this risk, making it necessary for such drivers to have gap or hybrid insurance policies. These would be sufficient to cover the blanks existing in-between professional and personal usage of ride-sharing cars. A number of states in the US have in fact already passed special legislation to address this unique commercial insurance need.
Obtaining and Providing Proper Insurance Information
Do ensure having sufficient knowledge about the risks involved in operating profit-share cars like Uber rentals before getting involved with them. It is an illegal act to give misrepresenting information to your personal auto insurance firm and lie about ride-sharing in particular. Such an action would also leave you at open risk if your vehicle got involved in an accident.
You may speak to an insurance provider who would be aware of recent or upcoming legislation applicable within your area. Considering all the requisite information about profit-sharing taxi firms would definitely set you on track towards succeeding as an investor with them.
It should not be difficult applying for Uber rentals, whichever the category of taxi operation. Undertaking an online search at http://keyz.com.au for example would very likely afford you an ideal package to suit your needs.

Just thought it would be appropriate to really get into this comment from a viewer on my channel.
Some people can be so tactless. NO, this isn't a constructive criticism. It is not. Quicks Q., perhaps you should take pointers from this site: http://www.wikihow.com/Criticize-Constructively
"Sana hindi ka na lang sumikat…"—really? What a mean thing to say to someone. I'm not surprised, because crab mentality is common in our country.
"Dati yung videos mo talagang nafee-feel mo yung passion pero ngayong sponsored ka na…"—hold on, this comment was on my HAIR CHALK VIDEO. And it is NOT sponsored. If you watched it, you'd know how I DISLIKED the product. And gumastos po ako ng 228.00 para sa full size and refill para lang ma-video ko para sainyo. I spent my OWN money buying that product so that I could film it because I thought it would be HELPFUL to people who watches me and wants to try it too!
"…puro hauls, review na basta basta lang."—they say, "Stick to your forte." Mine is definitely not makeup tutorials. And lately I've been LOVING doing hauls and trying out new stuff for the SAKE OF REVIEWING THEM FOR YOU. Bakit ako magrereview na basta basta? Edi sana hindi na lang ako nagfilm.
"Vlogs na 'para may maiupload na lang."—you are so unfair. If only you knew HOW MUCH EFFORT I PUT INTO MY VIDEOS AND VLOGS. Kala mo madali magfilm ng sarili araw araw para maishare sa mga taong taos pusong gustong manuod sakin? (Do you think it's that easy to film everyday to share videos to people who genuinely love my videos?) IT TAKES EFFORT. And yung effort na yun, hindi mo maiintindihan hangga't IKAW na ang gagawa.
"No more thorough reviews na makakatulong"—didn't I just put out a bunch of new videos which ACTUALLY HELPED a lot of girls decide whether or not they should buy a product or not?
"I'm sorry but you've gone downhill."—what a way to end your supposedly constructive criticism. NOBODY GOES DOWNHILL. It's only the people surrounding them that wants them to believe they've gone downhill.
We are not robots. And I hope I addressed all your concerns in this post.

What's Good For The Goose...
Hey Everyone!! :-)
I'm back with another post about US politics today. I know, I know, how boring. Especially for those of you who don't live in the US. I get it, move on. Except...I can't. This election cycle is just so divisive and involves so many important issues, I just can't not put my two cents in. All I can say to those of you who are tired of these posts is that I try not to post more than one per week, I'll do my best to tell you upfront what type of post it is so you can skip it if you want, and November will be here soon. ;-)
Okay, still with me? Great! Here we go...
So, for those of you who don't know, last week the Democratic Party held their convention and their nominee was officially selected. As I think almost everyone probably knows, Hillary Clinton received the nomination, which means there is no longer any possibility that Bernie Sanders could be the Democratic candidate. In addition, Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton and has repeatedly said that he will not run against her as a Green or Independent candidate. So, at this point, it is clear that Bernie Sanders will not be the US President, at least not in 2016.
What does this all mean? Well, it means a Trump vs. Clinton race and if you know what the outcome will be, all I can say is, can I borrow your crystal ball? Seriously, it's impossible to tell which of them will win. They are both incredibly unpopular. Almost cartoonishly so. I mean if you wanted to write a dark comedy about a US Presidential race, this would be a great matchup for you to use.
On one hand, you have Trump, who is a bigoted, narcissistic, ignorant, overly-sensitive, immature, dishonest, con-artist, man-child. And on the other hand you have Clinton, who is an insincere, corporately-owned, lying, cheating, pro-corporate, pro-war, anti-environment, anti-labor sellout. What a choice, right?
I mean, Hillary Clinton literally STOLE AN ELECTION!!! She did not gain the nomination because she won, she gained it through massive election fraud perpetrated on her behalf by the Democratic Party leadership. Which, astonishingly, is something that no one seems to want to talk about! Can we spell "coverup," ladies and gentlemen? And yet...the other candidate is Donald Trump.
Or is that the only choice? Because despite what the corporate media will tell you, there are other candidates. The two main alternative candidates are Dr. Jill Stein for the Green Party and Gary Johnson for the Libertarian Party.
And yes, I'm quite familiar with all of the arguments against a third-party vote. The most powerful of said arguments is that there hasn't been a US President who wasn't either a Democrat or a Republican since the two parties came into existence in the mid-1800s. My answer to that is that the very fact that the two current major parties replaced the parties that came before them means that there have been political shifts in the US in the past. Maybe it's time for another one.
Look at it this way, I'm an Independent voter in a swing state. I'm exactly what both parties need to win before November. As a left-leaning Independent, the Democratic Party especially depends on the votes of people like me. And yet, I'm not going to vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. Do you think I'm alone? I don't.
Why? Well, because Trump is a hideous, disgusting mess who I think needs to be locked in a mental institution until he reconnects with reality and learns how to act like a semi-decent human being. And Hillary? Good grief! Do I have to say it again? She STOLE a fucking election!!!!!! Democracy? pfffttt! Who needs it, right? And that doesn't even get into my other problems with her like the TPP, the fact that she's in favor of fracking, against universal healthcare, against regulating and breaking up big banks, in favor of war, etc.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know she's claiming now that her positions have changed. I don't believe her. Why? She STOLE a fucking election!!! Anyone willing to abrogate the democratic process in order to gain power, won't be above welching on a few campaign promises. No matter how detestable you find Donald Trump, and I do find him enormously detestable, at least he won his nomination honestly: by convincing people to vote for him. I question the sanity of those people, but their votes at least counted. The Democrats, on the other hand, declared that the Will of The People is irrelevant and that they're above the law. And, apparently, they're right since NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!
If you want to know more about my thoughts on the two major party candidates, you can read about them here: Why I'm Saying #BernieorBust. But let's look at a third-party vote. Yes, it's a long shot, but at least it's a palatable option for people who find it impossible to support either of the two major party candidates.
There are definitely plenty of arguments against Dr. Stein and Gary Johnson. For one thing, the Green Party candidate isn't even on the ballot in all 50 states. They're working to change that, and they may well succeed before November, but at the moment they aren't. Gary Johnson is either on the ballot or is an optional write-in candidate for all 50 states. As a progressive, I identify far more with Dr. Stein. There are several really important issues that I am diametrically opposed to Gary Johnson on, but I'd still vote for him before Trump or Clinton.
Then, of course, there's the option of not voting. I would argue strongly against this for anyone considering it. Yeah, I know, I get it. Voting can be a pain. Where I live, I have to drive about half an hour on narrow, twisting country roads. In November, when the weather is always uncertain. And I'll have to go vote after I finish work, which in November, means it will probably be dark. But I still think it's important that everyone vote.
Why? Because to not vote means to give up your voice. Not lose it, not have it taken from you by force, not be drowned out by the multitude, but to simply surrender. I don't know about the rest of you, but I think having choices is something worth fighting for. So, I would urge all of you to vote.
Yes, yes, I know plenty of you are thinking at this point that I'm just wasting my vote if I vote for a third-party candidate. I'm pretty sure I've heard all the arguments by now. But what they all really boil down to is that a third-party candidate doesn't have a chance of winning.
You may be right. Historically, you are right. But look at the political climate in this country now, it's like nothing I've ever seen before. If there's a time when a third-party candidate might actually have a chance of winning, I'd say it's now. It's a really long shot, but it might just be possible.
Now, if you actually do support Trump or Clinton, then by all means, you should vote for them. That's what democracy means. But if you are only gritting your teeth and holding your nose and voting for Clinton because she's not Trump or Trump because he's not Clinton, maybe you should consider if Stein or Johnson is a candidate you could actually support. After all, if everyone who says they won't vote for a third-party candidate because a third-party candidate doesn't have a chance of winning actually voted for a third-party candidate, then those candidates actually would have a chance of winning!
Like I said, people like me often vote for Democrats, not because we think they're great candidates, but because they're generally better than the Republicans. But after everything that happened in the primaries, there are an awful lot of progressives who just can't see ourselves voting for Hillary Clinton. And since she seems bound and determined to spit in our faces at every possible opportunity (Tim Kaine as a VP pick, hiring Debbie Wasserman Schultz five seconds after she was forced to step down as Party Chair for committing election fraud, war-hawking during her acceptance speech, etc.), I don't see how she's going to convince us to change our minds.
And if you think Donald Trump's flagrant bigotry and insanity has left the Republican Party less fractured, you haven't been paying attention. Yes, his populist rhetoric on economics does resonate with some people, but if the Democrats don't spend the next three months exposing that for the shell game that it is, then there's just no hope for the Democratic Party. Because that's an obvious target with a plethora of vulnerabilities.
To reiterate, if ever a third-party candidate had a chance, I'd say that time is now. So, for everyone who tells me that I'm wasting my vote by voting for Dr. Stein, or that I should vote for Clinton to prevent a Trump presidency, or Trump to prevent a Clinton presidency, my response is going to be that they should vote for Jill Stein or Gary Johnson to prevent a Trump or Clinton presidency. After all, what's good for the goose is good for the gander, right?

Yours is the only blog I look forward to reading, and I have great admiration and respect for your intelligence and opinions. You cut through the BS with ease. Excellent as always.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, that means a lot. <3 :-)Delete
I was really hoping that someone other than Hillary or Trump would win the nomination on either side. But it didn't happen. It's hard to tell which one is going to win but I do think it will be one of them and not the green party candidate. I would vote for the green party candidate if I thought he had a chance in hell of winning, but Hillary and Trump have a lot of votes behind them already. So I figure if I don't want Trump to become president, I need to vote for Hillary.ReplyDeleteReplies
The problem is, I'm not convinced she's the better option. What she says isn't as heinous as what Trump says, but I don't trust her as far as I can levitate her. Plus, both parties *HATE* Trump, he'll have to fight them both to get anything done and he has no idea how the government works, so I don't think he'll be terribly effective. Clinton, on the other hand, has the full support of the Democrats, knows exactly what she's doing, and even has the ability to steal elections, so I shudder to think what she might get away with.Delete

Teacher Spotlight: Ms. Beth Locy
Congratulations to Ms. Beth Locy of Lakewood Elementary School, selected as this week's Teacher Spotlight recipient!
Ms. Locy always loved books growing up, and her favorite place to be at school was the library. She says that books can be a window to the outside world, but they can also be a mirror for people to examine themselves. When she isn't working with students, she enjoys running as a part of the Hogwarts Running Club, a Harry Potter-themed virtual running club which raises money for various charities. She also takes ceramics classes at the Huntsville Museum of Art, and enjoys travelling with her husband and two children.
"The students love her. The teachers love her," says Lakewood Principal Fred Barnes, "she's just a great person." Ms. Locy says she gets a lot of inspiration from her own middle school librarian, Ms. Smith, who she says made her feel incredibly inspired and encouraged. Ms. Locy wants to pass that on, and she loves sharing her passion for reading with students. "There is a book out there for everyone," she says, adding that when anyone claims reading isn't for them, it's just because "they haven't found the right book yet." It's all about getting to know the students well enough to lead them towards something that might interest them.
Ms. Locy states that reading is a large and necessary component of any student's education. She adds, "my wish is for them to enjoy reading, for them to develop a love for reading," because it will not only help students succeed in school, but can also help them to have richer lives as well. Ms. Locy is obviously having an enriching affect on a great number of student lives.

Italian crime drama '1992' out to buy on DVD
27th October 2015
The explosive Roman Empire of the 1990s is yours to own now!
"Politics without principles. Pleasure without consequences. Power without morality. The corruption of a nation. 1992. A Year of Living Dangerously." The Neapolitan Noir 1992 set Sky Arts 1 ablaze with its 10-episode dramatisation of a capricious part of Italian history.
With the social and political climate suspended in uncertainty, 1992 fixes our sights upon a group of six people whose lives are affected by the ensuing 'Clean Hands' investigation that swept Italy during a corruptive age. We follow Leonardo Notte (Stefano Accorsi, from the film version of Romanzo Criminale, 2005), Pietro Bosco (Guido Caprino – In Treatment, 2013- ), Luca Pastore (Domenico Diele – The Wait, 2015), Beatrice "Bibi" Mainaghi (Tea Falco – Me and You, 2012), Veronica Castello (Miriam Leone) and Rocco Venturi (Alessandro Roja, from the serialised adaptation Romanzo Criminale, 2008-2010) as they become intertwined in the country's fiasco; across the opulent capital of Rome and Milan.
Created by Alessandro Fabbri, Ludovica Rampoldi, Stefano Sardo, from actor Stefano Accorsi's original idea, the series signifies a revolutionary part of the Italian parliament. While the UK experienced 'Black Wednesday' with the GBP value diminishing in 1992, Italy witnessed a high level of corruption that tarnished their political parties.
The series joins ranks with other gritty crime dramas from Italian television, such as The Octopus (1984), Fog & Crimes (2005- ), Inspector De Luca (2008), Il commissario Nardone (2012), Gomorrah (2014- ) and Romanzo Criminale(2008-2010). The series has received exemplary praise from the Hollywood Reporter: "Fiction is never going to beat Italian history for sheer entertainment value". If you missed out on 1992 on Sky Arts, we are proud to announce the DVD release this week.
Buy your copy of 1992 on DVD from the Arrow Films Shop here. It'd be a crime not to…

Thanks for stopping by again today for the third installment of my Working Mom Series! If you missed the other two, you can check out my tips for preparing to go back to work after maternity leave here and how we get out the door in the morning with a baby here.
Today I'm going to discuss the always fun {hence the sarcasm} topic of pumping at work.
I returned to work one day shy of Walker's three-month birthday. When I went back to work, he was still exclusively breastfeeding and only took a bottle once in a blue moon. I had no idea what it would be like to pump at work. I always thought I'd be super great at it and that I'd carve out time in my day to do it as often as I needed to.
...But once I had been at work for about a week, meetings got in the way, crises happened and I did have to skip a pumping session here and there. Please know that I am by no means advocating for doing that, but I do want to be realistic and share with you that those things do happen. Also, I want to let you know that due to my job, I'm not always sitting behind my desk; I'm out and about. There have been times that I've asked where I can go to pump - but in a discreet way - and have been told I could go in the bathroom. I'm not getting all crazy here, but I refuse to pump in an unsanitary public bathroom. So, I want you to know that I have pumped in a lot of weird places: the back seat of my car, in a colleague's office, in an executive's conference room…the list goes on. But I will do anything for my baby.
So, in being realistic, I want to share with you my tips for pumping at work. Note that I pump twice a day: around 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. - the times Walker takes his bottle at "school." These times are adjusted if he gets off schedule and eats earlier or later.
1. Invest in a good pump, either purchased or rented.
I mentioned on Tuesday that I use the Medela Pump in Style Advanced breast pump, but you can definitely rent a more high-end one from your hospital. Once you have gotten familiar with it, ensure you know how to change all of the parts and always keep some spare parts handy! I always keep a spare set of breast shields, a Ziploc baggie of membranes and some breast pads in my pump bag. You never, ever know when you will need them!
2. Let a select few people know what you're doing, but don't be gross about it.
My friend Liz came up with the code phrase, "I have to close my door," for us to use when it's time to pump. In our office, we never close our doors unless we're very stressed out, on an important phone call or are upset. So, when we came back, we were closing our door - literally - a lot more often than normal. We have two {female} interns, and we've let them in on the "secret" of what we're doing when we say, "I have to close my door." That way, if someone walks in and starts to barge into one of our offices, they can stop them. Also, saying, "I have to close my door" is a lot better than announcing to your office staff, "I have to pump now!" Trust me, no one wants that visual.
That leads me to: Make sure you have some sort of a sign on your door. We originally had one that said, "Please Knock," but a male kept knocking on Liz's door while she was pumping, so we knew that wasn't going to work. I then made one for each of our doors that said - in blood red font and all caps - "DO NOT DISTURB." So far it has worked, but keep your fingers crossed on that one.
3. Create a screensaver with photos of your baby.
When I went back to work, I had a major problem with the letdown reflex while I was pumping. I would find it hard to relax in my desk chair and would have to pry myself away from my email inbox so that I could. In order to help my letdown reflex, I made a screensaver of photos with Walker and have it set to start three minutes after any inactivity on my computer. I have found that it really helps when I look at photos of him, especially those from when he was a tiny baby, and allow the sweet memories from when I was at home on maternity leave with him flood through my mind.
4. Listen to some music.
My office is teeny tiny and a guy offices right next door. I don't know about you, but hearing a guy's voice - who is not your husband - while you're in that vulnerable state is less than comforting. So, I turn Pandora on and listen to relaxing music while I'm pumping. My favorites are Jack Johnson and Ray Lamontagne because they're soothing and help me try to relax a bit.
5. Don't look.
I know it's super hard to not look down to see how much you're pumping, but don't. It only stresses me out if I look down and see that I'm not producing what I should be. I will only think, "O-M-G. I'm going to have to defrost X ounces tonight if I don't pump X ounces here today." Just relax, close your eyes if you can and look at how much you've pumped once you're finished. Worrying will only make it harder to relax, harder for the letdown reflex to occur and just frustrating in general.
6. Take supplements.
I take Gaia Herbs Lactation Support pills three times a day, and they seem to help…especially since my supply has significantly depleted since I went to work. I also try to drink a cup of Mother's Milk Tea at work and eat a bowl of oatmeal when I get there. I also have made the No-Bake Energy Bites that have made their way around Pinterest. Anything to help keep that supply up!
7. Bring an ice pack.
My pump came with a big ice pack and a storage "cooler." Since we only have a small college-sized community fridge in our office, I store the milk I pump in that small container as opposed to the community fridge. I personally use the Medela 8 oz. pumping bottles {and bring two} and just pump into those twice a day. Since I'm always on the go, it helps, too, to ensure I always have it with me and don't forget it at work.
8. Sanitize/clean those parts!
I bring the Medela Quick Clean Microsteam Bags to work and sanitize the parts after my second pumping session of the day. When I get home each day, I wash them in warm soapy water and let them dry on the Boon Lawn countertop drying rack overnight.
I hope these tips help you out, especially if you have never pumped at work before. It's not easy, but it's so worth it for your baby! Good luck!

After 31 years in education, Phil Niemie is retiring. The principal of Bailey Elementary and his wife, Judy, will head to Africa later this fall to join their daughter and her family.
After 31 years in education, Phil Niemie is retiring. The principal of Bailey Elementary and his wife, Judy, will head to Africa later this fall to join their daughter and her family.
While Niemie may be gone after 12 years as Bailey principal, a piece of him will remain at the school.
In a student assembly last week, Niemie was surprised to learn the school's library "will now and forever be known as the Philip E. Niemie Library," said his administrative assistant, Sue Charnon. "Thank you for everything you did for us and we wish you and your family the best of luck as you retire and embark on your new adventure to Africa."
Niemie oversaw Bailey's construction and opening in 1996 and has been its principal since then. He was also a principal at Riverside Elementary, as well a middle and elementary school teacher.
Charnon told the students: "In our lifetime, we meet many people who influence the way we think, feel or act," Charnon said. "From the time we are very young children, we are influenced not only by our family, but also by people such as teachers, coaches, religious leaders, to name a few. � Today we have come to honor just such a person, one who has been the leader of Bailey Elementary for the past 12 years and who is very special to all of us. � As principal, he has guided your education from kindergarten through fifth grade, making sure you had the best classrooms, the best teachers, the best equipment, altogether, the best elementary experience in your lifetime."
Niemie also received a picture of his staff, as well as a watch with "special features," said third-grade teacher Tom Carroll. The special features included a GPS system to allow Niemie to find his way around Africa, but also, Carroll said, so "he can find his way back to Bailey, where he is loved and will be missed."He also received a suitcase and a mosaic of his likeness, made up of hundreds of tiny pictures from the Bailey archives and of his family and other important events in his life.
The students sang several songs in Swahili and English.
"You probably know more Swahili than I do now," Niemie told the students.
"Amazing and overwhelming" is how he described the program.
"I have enjoyed every year and every moment of my 31 years in education, and this celebration is a good example of why I've enjoyed it so much," he told his students and staff.
Niemie said it was an honor to have the library named after him and to have his longtime friend, Bill Prosser, as its librarian. Prosser came to Bailey as a fifth-grade teacher and took over the librarian duties last year.
He choked up when asked about his feelings about Niemie's retirement.
"This is going to be hard," Prosser said. "Phil is the heart of Bailey. The whole community of Bailey starts right there in his office. He built it and brought his love of kids here for all of us to share."

As one of the last community clinics in the State of California, Lestonnac Free Clinic provides primary and specialty medical care, as well as dental, and vision services to approximately 9,000 patients annually in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties for FREE.
We do not receive federal or state funding and are dependent on grants and donations to cover our operational expenses. Obviously, there are challenges with our business model but for the last 38 years it has allowed us to be agile and responsive to the needs of the communities we serve.

The good news is that Art and I have received the proofs for our new book "Investigating Internet Crimes". It is looking really good and the comments from our initial reviewers has been more then positive. One reviewers comment to me was that this book should be in every University program teaching cyber crime and on every investigators desk. Art and I hope that everyone will find the book as informative. As we move forward Art and I will post updates on the books progress and if we can get it arranged a few snippets from the published copy.

Looking for a plumber? We have found the best in Bespoke Plumbing and Gas. They give a good reasonable quote and are totally professional and caring, wear shoe covers in the house and keep you informed as they go about their work. No loud music or language. After other plumbers, we were really happy and pleased to pass on to you to call them. We have already passed on three people your details, thank you.
I have dealt with 3 plumbers, 2 builders, 2 gyprockers, 2 brickies, 1 electrician and 2 tilers. Hands down Bespoke Plumbing and Gas are the best plumbers and tradies that have worked in my house. They are good value for money, efficient, clean, honest, friendly and most of all have high quality workmanship. We will definitely be sticking with Bespoke. Keep it up guys!
On time. Great customer service. Would definitely use again in the future. More than happy to recommend to family and friends.
Very pleased with the service from Bespoke. Both Dion and Nicki have an excellent manner with their approach to clients. Workmanship second to none. Cleanliness very impressed, removed shoes when they entered the house. Most respectful. Would recommend them both to business, family and friends. A great big thankyou.
I would highly recommend Bespoke Plumbing and Gas, they were punctual (to the nearest minute) and provided a helpful and friendly service. We very much appreciated the extra care taken to maintain the cleanliness of our house. We will definitely contact again for any plumbing and gas requirements.
Bespoke Plumbing and Gas gave us a new bathroom that any home would be proud to have, they were friendly, tidy, and always on time. Nothing was too much trouble, even after they moved the plumbing for our basin twice. I can't tell you how happy it made me to have these guys and gals to work for me.
They were fast and finished the job that day and they certainly didn't look like plumbers. First time I met you I thought perhaps you were the admin staff only for Bespoke. (This is a compliment).
Both Nicki & Dion are professional, friendly and know what they are talking about. Diagnosis (possible regulator or valves) helped to save further messing about. Fast service outside of "normal" business hours greatly appreciated. Certainly will recommend you to neighbours and friends.
First off very professional from the get go. Very clean and tidy and so was the work you carried out!! Thrilled with the whole experience. How many trades people actually charge under the quoted price cause you finished ahead of time!!! Drop sheets in the house and boot covers so no mess anywhere.
Friendly, reliable, confidence in doing a good job. Definitely like the husband/wife setup. Really liked the CSI covers your shoes – shows respect and attention to detail.

In-N-Out vs. Sonic
The fast food philosophies couldn't be farther apart. It comes down to choice and whether or not you want to make one. No one sits forever at In-N-Out unable to make a decision. You can count the possible items on one hand. Of course there are a few insider options for those who know the system, but their entire menu would be legible on a postage stamp. Sonic's menu could fill a billboard in 12 pt. font. It has over 168,000 drink combinations, not including shakes and coffee drinks. Breakfast is served all day and you can customize every combo, burger, coney, sandwich, wrap, salad, side order (way to many to list), or dessert. You can run down a car battery with just the radio on well before you've read all the options (so there are lots of pictures). This extraordinary country was founded on the principle of freedom. Freedom comes from being able to make our own choices: on religion, political opinion, education, health care, and even what we eat. Don't get me wrong, I love In-N-Out, and would choose an In-N-Out burger over a Sonic burger every time, but I don't always want a burger. I'm glad I still live in a country where I have the power to make my own decisions, even if they are not always the best ones for me. We need to encourage competition, reduce the red tape, and eliminate unconstitutional regulations that give preferences to or punish certain businesses or industries. The consumer is smart enough to make the big (and little) decisions when given the choice. Capitalism allows us to learn from our mistakes, rather than be restricted from making any.

By Rev. Tom Hazelwood*
With all these advances in our preparedness, along with the knowledge we have gained from experience and the amazing support that continually flows from every church pew across the United States, we have the best resources to answer the call when nature hands us the worst of circumstances.
As a faith-based organization specializing in disaster readiness and response, we at UMCOR know that all that we are and do is undergirded by our faith in Jesus Christ. Our ministry is an outflow of God's work in creation and Christ's work in us. While we work in response to our relationship with a holy God, we respect the dignity of all persons and never force our beliefs on others, nor is our help ever dependent upon the belief, ethnicity, income, or stance of the recipient. We truly live out the Wesleyan call: "Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as you ever can."
*Rev. Tom Hazelwood is UMCOR's assistant general secretary for U.S. Disaster Response.

PRICE OF POLITICS, ETC.: $14 to Fight Visciousness
Iowa Governor Terry Branstad hopes you will donate $14 so he can take on the The Des Moines Register. Branstad's campaign sent out an email to supporters Thursday morning asking for the donation. The email complains the Register has written 14 editorials urging Branstad to expand the current Medicaid system. Friday, the governor's office said he will meet with U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius to discuss the health care system. A spokesman said the governor left Iowa for D.C. Thursday morning, instead of Friday, to try to beat the snow storm moving toward Iowa.
Fun with numbers…$14 is also what the Register charges, according to its website, for home delivery of the newspaper from Thursday to Sunday. That also includes digital access. It will cost you $23 bucks, if you want the print and electronic versions 7 days a week.
Here is part of the governor's fundraising email:
Dear Friends,
You probably haven't noticed, but buried deep in The Des Moines Register, they are waging a campaign against the governor, trying to force his hand into expanding Medicaid. They do this without a care in the world as to where the extra hundreds of millions of dollars would come from, and taking no issue with the fact that this government program fails to make those it covers healthier.
In fact, they have written 14 editorials on Medicaid expansion – just since January 22! Quite an obsession.
It's time to fight back.
Will you donate $14 to battle their vicious smears? That's just one dollar for every editorial they've written attacking this governor.

Akiko Togashi didn't expect many people to respond to the Gospel at Friday's Hokkaido Festival of Hope in Sapporo, Japan, but she was more than happy to see those expectations proved wrong.
Togashi served as a Festival counselor and knows how challenging it can be to communicate the Gospel to a culture that traditionally worships multiple gods.
"I've never seen this kind of scene," she said, looking at the crowd who responded to Franklin Graham's invitation at the Hokkai Kita-Yell sports arena Friday night.
They gathered to publicly give their lives to Christ.
"The Holy Spirit filled this place, so many people came forward," Togashi said.
"There is a God, the one true God. And He loves you," Franklin Graham told the crowd earlier. "No other religion claims to have forgiven your sins."
None but Jesus.
Some of the evening's performers talked about the difference Jesus has made in their lives. Swedish singer Lena Maria, born without arms, said "the most common question I receive is, 'How can you be so happy?'
"I feel so loved by Jesus," she explained, "and because I have His love in my life, I feel a great hope for the future."
Maria and other musical artists expressed that hope through passionate worship songs—some in Japanese. After one particularly rousing song by a group from the Brooklyn Tabernacle Singers, one Japanese man stood up and shouted, "Hallelujah! Amen!"
Amen indeed, Toshio Takahashi thought.
Takahashi has been a pastor since 1970. He heads a 60-member church in Noboribetsu, a Hokkaido city of more than 50,000 people. He attended the Festival with some of his church members and was thrilled to see one member's husband declare Christ as Savior at the end.
"I'm so happy," he said. "The time has come for him to come forward (and accept Christ)."
Counselor Ritsuko Oikawa had tears of joy in her eyes watching people come to the front of the stage during Franklin Graham's invitation, translated into Japanese. Oikawa worked with the Osaka Festival in 2010 and the Sendai Festival in 2012 but said seeing people open up to Christ never gets old.
Friday, she spoke to a shy young girl who wanted Jesus in her life. Oikawa gladly explained how to start a relationship with Him.
You can watch all three nights of the Festival (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) online at http://billygraham.org/japan, beginning at 9 p.m. ET.

Barca coach spoke after 4-1 win against Roma.
Its a struggle to win every game. We got a good result, but we havent done anything yet, said the Barca coach in his press conference.
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen had some tough saves to make and Roma had very clear scoring opportunities."
Roma are a good side, it was difficult for us to break down and get past the first line of pressure. It was a pretty even game.
Barcelona have benefited from five own goals in the Champions League this season, compared to six from Leo Messi.
If you dont push forward and put pressure on opponents in their own penalty area, you dont get own goals.
Roma protested that they were denied two penalties, one for a Samuel Umtiti nudge on Edin Dzeko, another as the trip on Lorenzo Pellegrini mightve been inside the box.
I saw penalties that we werent awarded tonight as well. Everyone sees things their own way.
Valverde also revealed Sergio Busquets might not necessarily play in the second leg.
He asked to be substituted, as he was playing with pain-killing injections.

Man City boss Manuel Pellegrini will go on a £200m summer spending spree
MANCHESTER CITY are planning a £200 million spending spree to re-shape their squad after a season of disappointment and failure.
City are confident they'll be able to operate without sanction in the summer transfer window after previous problems with Financial Fair Play.
They expect to break even financially and announce record turnover approaching £400 million over the next accounting year.
Manager Manuel Pellegrini has called for "crack" signings to be made and City will fund those through their improved finances and also the proceeds from sales.
Stevan Jovetic, Edin Dzeko, Aleksandar Kolarov and even Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri could be on the way out.
England midfielder James Milner is out of contract and City are considering Everton's Ross Barkley at £25 million as a midfield replacement.
The Daily Star Sunday revealed City's interest in Wolfsburg's former Chelsea winger Kevin de Bruyne and we can now report that talks with his representatives are underway.
The in-form Belgian is now valued at £30 million.
City, in the wake of Champions League elimination last week, have a number of wish-list signings.
They also include Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba (£50 million), Arsenal's Jack Wilshere (£30 million), Atletico Madrid's Koke (£45 million) and Monaco left back Layvin Kurzawa at £15 million.
City are also keeping an eye on Raheem Sterling's current contract stand-off at Liverpool.

Fall Weather Flavors: Butternut Squash Pasta
Apple crisp, roasted squash, long-braised pork. All of these dishes taste better with a chill in the air and colored leaves on the ground. In Los Angeles, fall and winter dishes usually required suspension of disbelief--yes, I really need that heavy braised lamb to help me face the 80 degree November day. No, there's nothing weird about baking Christmas cookies when it's 70 and sunny. And of course it makes sense that the Pasadena Gap sells hats and mittens--wouldn't want to get frostbite from the 2 second walk from the car to the house when it's an oh-so-cold 50.
No suspension needed here in New York. To say I've enjoyed my first proper fall in over 5 years is an understatement. From the first day I had to wear a scarf, to the hot apple cider from the farmers' market, to the wet, sloppy snowflakes that fell this morning, I've loved every minute.
When I've made it into my "kitchen" (i.e. the back wall of my "living room"), I've greedily exploited fall's signature foods. My favorite dish was one I threw together hastily last week--cubed and oven-roasted butternut squash, sprinkled liberally with salt and pepper, tossed with caramelized shallots and ribbons of speck. Ladled over fresh penne, showered with fresh parmesan. Make sure you let your squash roast long enough to develop crispy corners so you have little cubes of sweet crunchy goodness. Can't wait for December!

Lunch, with Highlighter
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. I should pack my own lunch for school. But instead I eat salads from Subsconcious all the damn time. Salad bars abound in New York and I love them--you give the guy behind the counter the container of greens you've selected, he dumps it into a big metal bowl, and you proceed to point to all the goodies you want, which he adds, tosses, and returns to you. This is a new phenomenon for me, and damn if I'm not giddy with all the choices (non-local and imbued with pesticides, I'm sure).
The best goodie selection near Columbia is at Westside Market--they have all sorts of berries, apples, pears, candied walnuts and more. Plus they charge you by the pound, not the item. Subsconcious is much closer to school though, so I rely on a mix of cherry tomatoes, corn, chickpeas, sunflower seeds, blue cheese and balsamic vinaigrette. Yesterday I branched out into beets, grilled chicken, cranberries and walnuts. I know this thrilling look into my lunch life is what keeps you coming back to Erin's Kitchen, but right now, it's what I got. Any recommendations for my next salad?

Pizza Worth the Walk-Grimaldi's
Last weekend, the family was in town, and we took a stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge. Though the day was a bit drizzly and gray, we gawked at the Statue of Liberty, picked out the Empire State Building through the fog, and experienced the Bernoulli effect. Our willingness to endure a few sprinkles was rewarded with a short line at famed Brooklyn pizza joint Grimaldi's, our final destination, nearly smack dab under the bridge.
Home to a coal-fired brick pizza oven, Grimaldi's churns out the bubbling pizzas like clockwork--they need just a few minutes in the toasty oven to bake. The pizzas are all topped with fresh mozzarella, which blisters a delightful brown in the heat. The smell of garlic and basil permeates the small dining room, and it's hard to wait your turn. Our party of six made short work of two larges, one with pepperoni and sausage, the other with peppers, mushrooms and extra garlic (which ensured family togetherness for the rest of the afternoon).
For an extra treat, I suggest a stop at the nearby Jacques Torres chocolate shop for dessert.

Envision'15 the flagship Business Conclave of XSYS, the Systems Association of XIMB was held in the premises of Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar on 29th August.The theme of the conclave was "Transforming Financial Services with Big Data Analytics."

The inception of the event was marked by the introduction of the speakers by the emcees and the ceremonial lighting of the lamps by the corporate dignitaries present. The discussion was moderated by Prof. Dipak Mishra of XIMB who opened the conclave by talking about how Big Data will benefit numerous industry domains across various sectors. He also gave examples of how companies like CITI Group, J P Morgan, Walmart and the IBM-Twitter Collaboration have successfully implemented Big Data and are reaping immense benefits from it.
The first speaker of the day was Mr. Vinay Kumar. He spoke about how the world is so connected today that the repercussions of one event influences the economies of many other countries; referring to last week's devaluation of the Chinese currency and its effects worldwide. Coming to the FSI domain, he talked about Fraud Management, how the Indian economy is human driven and that it needs to become more algorithm driven and was quoted saying "The only good money in the world is what is not in the Bank." He also touched upon the application and challenges of Big Data and its many benefits in the foreseeable future.
Appreciating the topic at hand, the second speaker, Mr. Ashok Dash, an XIMB Alumnus, talked about the huge market potential and the evolution of Big Data. Highlighting the fact that the business functions which would benefit most were Sales, Marketing and HR, he also touched upon topics like Risk Management, operational efficiency, Regulations and Compliances.

Welcoming the opportunity to speak at his college, he spoke about Self Service Analytics, Customer Experience Analysis, Operational Excellence and Security Analysis. Citing the example of PAYTM, he added that a three sixty degree view of the customer, its wallet size, needs, tastes, preferences should be taken into account to target them better. He also mentioned about Data scientists anduseful Tools like Tableau R and OBI and SME Engagement. "To know the problem before the customer does, is the key to success", he said.
The final speaker of the day was Mr. Srinibas Pattnaik, who enlightened us with concepts of Geospatial Big data, its applications in Google maps etc., the challenges faced and the efforts undertaken to address them. "In this world of data abundance, its necessary to learn to find patterns to foresee problems and work on solutions", he said.

Is solar power the right option for your home or business? Many people in Australia and other countries are turning to solar power to cut down on their utility costs. We can get an idea of how many people are adopting this technology by looking at statistics. According to information from SEIA, the Solar Energy Industries Association, the first quarter of the year saw a massive surge in the number of solar panel systems in homes and businesses. The metrics that the association provided cite that over 66,000 businesses and residences switched to a solar power solution, which is certainly significant.
Tom Kimbis, the vice president of the association, said, "[Homeowners] are not just solar enthusiasts anymore. Residential installations are done because it's becoming more affordable for homeowners and it's saving them a lot of money in the long term."
Improved efficiency and falling installation rates are just some of the reasons driving dramatically increased adoption of these and other green technologies. With governments across the western world giving homeowners generous tax credits as a result of their investment in small-scale green energy, it's becoming more economical than ever to embrace this money-saving technology. It's not only a responsible decision to integrate this technology into your home, but a financially sound one.
Solar power, also known as photovoltaic power (PV), first debuted in the 1950s. Only recently has it become affordable enough for the average person to invest in PV. At the turn of the century, the cost of manufacturing this technology fell rapidly. At one time, computers too were exclusively the domain of universities and scientific research organisations, but they have similarly become affordable for the average person.
The panels themselves are composed of many different cells, such as the kind that are seen on a solar-powered calculator that you might have seen in school. Racks are used to attach panels to a roof, and the position of the rack is calibrated to ensure that the panels get as much sunlight as possible—although this is rarely a problem in Australia, since most of the country gets plenty of sunlight year-round; in other countries with temperate climates that get as many as 270 days of cloudy weather per year, such as the Pacific Northwest of the United States, this is an especially crucial step.
As professional solar panel installers have gained more experience working with residential customers, they've become much more efficient at mounting panels quickly. What used to take days now takes hours. Our company and many other companies in Australia can help get your home optimised for solar power in a super short amount of time. If you're ready to greatly reduce the amount of money you spend per year on utilities and make a big contribution to the fight against climate change, we're ready to help you!
Get in touch with us to find out more about the variety of different options available for your home or business. We're more than happy to give you as much information as possible.

Welcome, it would be nice to hear about vaseline glass production in Japan.
>>all the streetcar lights I have seen, it is the reflector along the back surface that is made from uranium glassRecently, I knew that US street cars were using this type of head-light.>>The lens in the middle works and in bright sunlight, you can concentrate the sun enough to start a fireThis is very interesting story.Why did they need to use vasleine glass for lense? (clear one might be more effective?)I could not find the article of CORNING MONEX on the web.Ritsuo (Japan Uranium Glass Collectors Club)
If you go to www.vaselineglass.com, the VGCI logo at the top of the page is a neon light our club made with corning uranium tubing.
>>it says CORNING MONEXI (Ritsuo) am a manager of JUGCC(Japan Uranium Glass Collectors Club).One of our club member owns a similar lense, and he says this is a part of a signal lamp (PL: Position Lamp) of US railways.It can forcus the light to a long distance by its lense.I could find similar explanation as follows:>http://www.railroadsignals.us/signals/pl/pl.htm>1915 - Dr. William Churchill of Corning Glass developed a pale yellow "fog-penetrating" glass, which the PRR then used in their PL signals.
