"NFC East football in November just kind of sounds good and smells good." � NBC's Madden
NEW YORK � November 12, 2008 � Tony Romo returns to the lineup as the Cowboys (5-4) travel to our Nation's Capital to take on the Redskins (6-3) in a crucial NFC East match-up. Al Michaels (play-by-play), John Madden (analyst) and Andrea Kremer (sideline reporter) call the action. Coverage on NBC begins at 7 p.m. ET with "Football Night in America," with Bob Costas (host), Cris Collinsworth (co-host) Keith Olbermann (co-host), Dan Patrick (co-host), Jerome Bettis (analyst), Tiki Barber (analyst) and Peter King (reporter).
COWBOYS-REDSKINS IN PRIMETIME: Both the Cowboys and Redskins are making their second 2008 appearance on NBC. In the Thursday night opener, the Redskins lost to the New York Giants 16-7 and are now 2-2 overall since the NFL's premier primetime package moved to NBC in 2006. The Cowboys are 6-2 overall on "Sunday Night Football," including a 27-16 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 3. Their ninth appearance will tie the Cowboys with Indianapolis for the most on "NBC Sunday Night Football." Dallas has one more SNF game scheduled this season in Week 15 when they host the Giants.
COWBOYS VS. REDSKINS: This is the 92nd game in this rivalry that dates back to 1960. Dallas holds a 56-37-2 overall edge. On Sept. 28 in Dallas, Clinton Portis rushed for 121 yards in a 26-24 Washington victory.
NBC Sports conducted a media call today to preview the Cowboys-Redskins game with John Madden, Tiki Barber and Jerome Bettis. Highlights follow:
MADDEN ON NFC EAST RIVALRY GAMES: "I love these division rivalries. This is what football is all about when you can get these division games in November that are very meaningful. Last week, when we had the Giants and Eagles, we had a great rivalry game and a game that was a real football game and this week we come back with the same type of thing with Dallas and Washington. NFC East football in November just kind of sounds good and smells good."
MADDEN ON THE MATCHUP: "It's going to be interesting to see how Tony Romo comes back. Is it going to be the Tony Romo of the first three games? Coming off the bye week, how's the Dallas defense going to play? They played earlier in the season and Clinton Portis had a big game and the Redskins beat the Cowboys. But is Clinton Portis going to be able to play? The biggest thing would be losing Clinton Portis. I think he's one of the best players in the NFL.
"You work to get in position the first 10 games and now you make your run to the playoffs. Both these teams, the Redskins and the Cowboys, have positioned themselves that they can make a run. You can say that this is a must game and all this stuff and I think it's a must game to get started to make a run to get to the playoffs."
MADDEN ON COWBOYS: "I thought the Cowboys were going to be more like in the position they were a year ago. I thought they had the whole thing; their offensive line was playing well, Romo was playing well, they had T.O. and Witten and all the weapons and Marion Barber running. The defense I thought was going to be better than they were. I thought the whole team would be better and I thought they'd be sitting here with the Cowboys maybe undefeated, maybe one loss. I didn't think they'd be in this situation."
BETTIS ON CLINTON PORTIS' INJURY: "The one problem that I had when I had the ACL injury was having to wear a brace. When you have to wear a brace you're limited in terms of what you can do physically on a football field. There are certain cuts that the actual brace doesn't allow you to make so there's going to be definite limitations to the things that he's able to do on the football field. You're not going to see the same Clinton Portis that you're used to seeing because he is going to be limited just from a functionality standpoint with that brace."
TIKI ON PORTIS' INJURY: "If he plays the first couple of series, it'll be on his mind, but after awhile the magnitude of the game kind of takes away the pain and you just play with it. I'm sure he'll be on some kind of painkiller to alleviate the surface pain. The injury itself probably won't heal and probably will affect him longer if he does go out and play on it."
MADDEN ON IF PORTIS CAN'T PLAY: "Last time they played, the Cowboys didn't have an answer for Clinton Portis and it's not only his running, it's what he does in the passing game and pass protection. When Clinton Portis chips a defensive end, that guy is chipped. I think it would be very, very tough for the Redskins to win without Clinton Portis."
BETTIS ON SHAUN ALEXANDER POTENTIALLY FILLING IN FOR PORTIS: "I think he definitely has gas in the tank. When you don't go through training camp and you're not subject to that type of wear and tear, even if you are an older player, you're going to benefit. How effective will he be? That's the question. I don't think it's an issue of him coming in and not being able to play a full game. I think he has gas in the tank but the question is will the Dallas Cowboys defense stop the offense from running the football because that has to be priority number one in order to win the football game."
TIKI ON ALEXANDER: "He missed all of training camp and he struggled for the first three or four weeks and then he started getting on track and the team started doing well. I think for Shaun to come in and be effective right away is unrealistic. If he has to play for a few weeks I think he'd be fine."
The speakers on the call also answered some questions about the NFL this year:
MADDEN ON THE DOLPHINS APPROACH THIS YEAR: "I love the approach. I think Bill Parcells came in there and took an organization that was really down and he started to get it turned around. The thing that most impresses me about the Dolphins is the job that coaching staff is doing."
TIKI ON GIANTS OFFENSIVE LINE AND RUNNING GAME: "The Giants offensive line, which I've been saying for years is one of the most underrated, now is probably one of the top two in the NFL right now. Especially in the run game because they've worked together for so long and they understand the schemes so well. I think Brandon (Jacobs) and Derek (Ward) are both very smart football players and know how to run into that scheme. So there success is not surprising me at all."
MADDEN ON PARITY IN THE LEAGUE: "The system is set up to be like this. The system says that no one is going to be dominant. No franchise is going to have all the best players or the highest percentage of the best players."
MADDEN ON IF THE TITANS WILL GO UNDEFEATED: "I'm really impressed with Tennessee and the job that they are doing. Do I think they will go undefeated? My answer is, no, but remember that I am the same guy who didn't think the Patriots would go undefeated last year."
TIKI ON THE NFL THIS SEASON; INVOKES DEREK JETER: "The NFL this year has been exciting because you don't know what's going to happen any week. There have been a couple of teams that have stood out, obviously one in the AFC being the Tennessee Titans and in the NFC the New York Giants. But other than that it's a crapshoot and everything has been up in the air and you literally have to wait and see what happens and it changes week to week."
"Every team in every division has inconsistencies, which makes it almost impossible to predict what's going to happen down the stretch. I think I heard Derek Jeter say last baseball season, 'It's not the best team that wins, it's the one that gets hot at the right time,' so I think we're all going to wait and see who gets hot."
SPRINGSTEEN SONG TO DEBUT AT HALFTIME: NFL fans will be treated to new music from Bruce Springsteen as the studio version of Springsteen's new song "Working on a Dream" makes its world premiere at halftime of this Sunday's "NBC Sunday Night Football" matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins. Excerpts from "Working on a Dream" will be set to NFL highlights.
As was announced in late September, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will perform in the Bridgestone Super Bowl XLIII Halftime Show on NBC at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Sunday, February 1.
The Super Bowl halftime show is annually the most-watched musical performance. More than 148 million viewers in the U.S. watched last year's show. The Super Bowl and halftime show will be broadcast worldwide in more than 230 countries and territories.
IT'S EASY BEING GREEN: NBC Universal's "Green Week" officially launches on NBC's "Football Night in America" this Sunday as the Football Night crew will discuss how they each personally green their own routines. Host Bob Costas will conduct a live interview with Matt Lauer from parts unknown.
On November 22, NBC will air a carbon neutral Notre Dame and Syracuse game, but the competition won't just be on the field. For the entire month of November, both campuses will participate in the NBC Universal Green Your Routine challenge, hosted on Carbonrally.com. Students, alumni, faculty, and fans will have the opportunity to take eco-challenges and help reduce carbon emissions and save energy. NBC Universal will donate $10,000 to the winning school, which will be designated to their campus sustainability efforts.
In addition, NBC Sports will host an online video contest, in which students from Notre Dame and Syracuse will produce short commercials promoting sustainable practices. The best submissions will be displayed on the NBC Sports website, NBCSports.com
DALLAS & WASHINGTON COOK UP SUNDAY NIGHT MEALS: The "Sunday Night Football" Cookbook features recipes from NFL stars including Cowboys LB DeMarcus Ware who contributes his Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole and Redskins QB Jason Campbell offers his Chicken Casserole. The Sunday Night Football Cookbook also features recipes from prominent chefs from each NFL city including Dallas' Kent Rathbun of Abacus and Bob Kinkead of Kinkead's restaurant in Washington, D.C.
Bobby Flay and Emeril Lagasse represent their favorite NFL teams and NBC's "Sunday Night Football" crew have added their favorite Sunday Night recipes to the Cookbook. Faith Hill and John Madden not only provide some of their favorite recipes, but also write special introductions. The book contains full meals and a section on Super Bowl parties, just in time for the next Super Bowl on NBC. Proceeds from the cookbook, which is available wherever books are sold or at SundayNightFootballCookbook.com, go to support local food banks across the U.S. through Feeding America (formerly America's Second Harvest).
ROTOWORLD.COM'S WEEK 11 SLEEPER PICKS: Rotoworld.com managing editor Gregg Rosenthal, who was named 2007 Fantasy Football Writer of the Year by the Fantasy Sports Writers Association, picks his fantasy sleepers for Week 11.
1. Tyler Thigpen vs. Saints: "Kansas City's new spread attack has turned around a dead offense in a hurry. Tyler Thigpen is a factor in November! (And the Saints best cornerback Mike McKenzie is now out for the season)."
2. Matt Ryan vs. Broncos: "The best rookie quarterback since Dan Marino is far ahead of Brady Quinn. And the Broncos made Quinn look like a Pro Bowler."
3. Peyton Hillis vs. Falcons: "Versatile former fullback is a decent bet to steal a touchdown."
4. Marvin Harrison vs. Texans: "Everyone else has given up on Harrison except Peyton Manning. The matchup is right for a rebound."
5. Bobby Engram vs. Cardinals: "The return of Matt Hasselbeck will awaken Seattle's slot receiver."
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: Al Michaels, the commentator called "TV's best play-by-play announcer" by the Associated Press, is joined in the "Sunday Night Football" booth by John Madden, the most honored NFL broadcaster of all time with 16 Emmy Awards, and on the sidelines by Andrea Kremer, whom the Los Angeles Times has called "the best TV interviewer in the business of covering the NFL."
"FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA": The Washington Post calls NBC's "Football Night in America" studio show the "Gold Standard" of NFL studio shows and "must-see television for NFL fans." Bob Costas, the most honored studio host of all time with 19 Emmy Awards, hosts "Football Night in America" alongside co-host Cris Collinsworth, the most honored studio analyst in history; co-host Keith Olbermann, named one of the Top Ten Most Powerful People in TV News for 2007 by Television Week; newcomer and co-host Dan Patrick, reuniting him with Olbermann who together redefined sports highlights during their time together on ESPN's SportsCenter from 1992-97; and analysts Tiki Barber, a three-time NFL Pro Bowler for the New York Giants, and Jerome Bettis, one of the most popular players in recent NFL history. Peter King, who covers the NFL for Sports Illustrated and is considered one of the country's foremost NFL reporters, serves as a reporter for the "Football Night in America" studio show.

Bankruptcy is often considered the last resort for people struggling with debt because there are other debt solutions to consider first. It is a legal declaration for people who cannot afford to pay their creditors. A state of Bankruptcy can be declared by creditors in an effort to reclaim in part money that is owed to them. A majority of Bankruptcy cases are initiated by the individuals who feel they cannot pay their debts.
Bankruptcy can occur when an individual's debts are greater than his or her assets. Declaring bankruptcy means an individual is financially insolvent and can be relieved of outstanding debts. It is often considered as a last resort for people with serious and ongoing debt problems.
The bankruptcy proceeding has two aims:
To free the individual from the pressures of creditors (people they owe money to) and to enable him or her to make a fresh start.
To ensure that all assets (such as property and investments) are distributed fairly among the creditors.
The Courts are officially responsible for making a bankruptcy order against an individual, although this is done at the request of either the individual or one of his/her creditors.
The assets of the bankrupt individual then fall under the control of a trustee. This will be either the Official Receiver (a civil servant and officer of the Court), or a licensed Insolvency Practitioner. Whoever is appointed becomes responsible for uncovering as much as possible about the debtors assets and liabilities and then maximising returns for the creditors from the assets available, within certain guidelines.
Once a bankruptcy order has been made against you your creditors can no longer pursue you for payment. Payment becomes the responsibility of the Trustee.
What are the disadvantages of bankruptcy?
No more credit
Whilst you are bankrupt, you can't apply for more credit.
If you own your own home, it might have to be sold (but you may be able to apply to your local authority for re-housing).

Well, well, well. The wires have been burnin' up. It's an insignificant fact a great many of the world's pro wrestlers, old and new, reside in Tampa.
Throughout the week, I've been receiving countless, tasteless and totally uncalled-for jabs about our beloved Flames on my voicemail.
It shouldn't have come as any big surprise to me the Lightning resurrected that old dinosaur, Hulk Hogan, to help spur on the team and its fans.
I remember being in Tampa when nobody even knew what hockey was.
But there was a time, a few years back, when I visited The Hulkster and he told me he was an avid Lightning fan with season tickets and he and his son Nicholas never missed a game.
So, I can at least say my old nemesis is not a bandwagon jumper.
In truth, I think his support can only help and anything that helps promote Canada's gift to the world -- hockey -- in America can only be a good thing.
Not to mention the super job his 16-year-old daughter Brooke has been doing singing both national anthems. I'm tempted to throw a Flames jersey on my pug Coombs and haul him out to centre ice to sing -- but I'm worried he might get some of the words wrong. He's cute but not that cute.
Interestingly enough, there are many transplanted Canadian wrestlers living in Tampa.
I'm relieved to say Chris Jericho has remained true to his Calgary heritage by backing the Flames. In fact, Jericho, Chris Benoit, The Edge and even Trish Stratus are behind the Sea of Red all the way.
Benoit, who hails from Edmonton, told
me how every scrap of Flames merchandise has been sold in Edmonton. I thought, 'My God, pretty soon cats will be sleeping with dogs!'
But then I've had the likes of Brian Knobs of the notorious Nasty Boys confide in me he's been secretly coaching Lightning forward (and former Flame) Cory Stillman, teaching him all those nasty little tricks he used to try to use on me.
But Flames defenceman Andrew Ference did a nice job of 'nasty-izing' Stillman in a Game 2 punchup.
Jim (The Anvil) Neidhart, a longtime Tampa resident, has no misgivings about backing the Flames, claiming Chris Simon may, in fact, be one of his long-lost brothers. In fact, the Anvil will be proud to be in attendance tonight wearing a signed Theo Fleury jersey he's been saving for just the right occasion.
I'm picturing it now -- Hulk passing out Flintstones vitamins while Vincent Lecavalier and the rest of the Lightning are on their knees, hands clasped, saying their prayers as their best and only hope.
All I know is the sight of The Hulkster peeling off one of his four-sizes-too-small T-shirts just doesn't move me and I think I know why.
The Hulkster doesn't look right in blue. Perhaps I need to remind him the colours he wore as a wrestling champion were, of course, red and yellow.
My parting words to The Hulkster are: The Lightning will be excellently executed.
Go Flames Go!

Pinta Triumphs Over The Melges 32 Fleet — New Wave Earns Miami Grand Prix Championship Title!
9 March 2008
Michael Illbruck and the Pinta team led at the end of each day in Melges 32, an amazing feat considering it was the German skipper's second regatta in the highly-competitive class. Illbruck is a newcomer to the up-and-coming Melges 32 class, taking delivery of his boat just prior to Acura Key West 2008.
The German skipper did not steer as Pinta placed seventh in that regatta. He made his debut as helmsman in Miami and performed admirably, winning four races and second or third in five others in totaling 16 points – 10 better than runner-up New Wave.
"We learned a lot in Key West that we were able to apply to this regatta. It was a challenge because of the heavy air and high seas, but the crew did an outstanding job," Illbruck said.
John Kostecki, who skippered Illbruck's victorious entry in the 2001-2002 Volvo Ocean Race and is now with the BMW Oracle America's Cup syndicate, called tactics aboard Pinta. Ross Halcrow of BMW Oracle and Dan Cowie of Emirates Team New Zealand served as trimmers.
"In my biased opinion, John Kostecki is the best sailor in the world. He is incredibly competitive and always puts you in the right spot," Illbruck said. "However, it takes more than one man to make a boat go fast. This was a team effort and every member of the crew did a fantastic job. We're all good friends who enjoy each other's company and that is very important for chemistry."
New Wave, co-owned by Michael Carroll and Marty Kullman of Clearwater, Fla., took home the Acura Grand Prix Championship for Melges 32 after placing second at both Key West and Miami.

I have mixed info on that, apparently the sales of the bds are pretty low and they are teh deciding factor for it; yet they are preparing even more collector edition discs (though one might say that they will just repackage the regular unsold discsin a cheaper package, thus beign somethign negative rather than positive).

I complety agree with you. I started umineko with the anime and then the VN..
I know that the anime skipped some awesome scenes but they did not have the enough time to put the whole VN (1-4) in just 26 episodes (considering the fact that every episode is just 22 minutes in lenght).
As many fans were pissed off when Higurashi (first season) was adapted for the same reasons, Deen improved in Kai and even better for Rei.
So I want Chiru anime so badly :P

Some questions about Ange.
Ange in the real world where she's being chased by her aunt and the meta-world Ange helping Battler take place in different times right? Are they happening in parallel or what?
When Ange was first introduced, she was on top of a building talking to Bern, is that the meta-world Ange or the real one looking for clues?
And did the real Ange die when her aunt (and her guards) shot her?
And I'm kinda confused about the diary flashback Maria. If she hates her mom and already killed her back then (as well as being a witch), how does she go to the island acting like nothing has happened and gets killed? Shouldn't she be able to manifest in the meta-world with Beato and Battler?

1. the metaworld is a completely different concept from the real world(s)
2. both, the scene happened in the real world as she tried to kill herself.
3. no and yes, it seems like the guards did not kill her but her bodyguard did.
4. as far as maria goes there are two rosas, her mom and the black witch, she only hates the black witch while she loves her mom.

1. According to Meta-Ange's personal timeline they're happening in parallel, but time in the meta world doesn't really have a strictly linear relationship with the game board.
3. Based on the EP4 endscroll and the screen going red after she was shot at, that's probably what happened. On the other hand, it's a catbox, so you can make other explanations like Amakusa sniping everybody.
4. The scene of Maria killing Rosa was implied to be a dream she had on October 4th, which is why she woke up giggling in a creepy way.

This isn't really a story specific question, but I don't know where else to ask. I'm looking for a very specific Umineko theories web page. It has some really old theories on it. Like Maria being Autistic for example, I think there might have been a Rokkenjima syndrome theory on there, and there's also a theory on it saying that Umineko is a dream Satoshi from Higurashi is having while in an L5 Hinamizawa syndrome coma. (that was near the bottom of the page IIRC) I think somebody had it in their sig if that helps, but obviously I don't remember who it was or I'd have found it if I'm even remembering that right.
I'm mostly looking for it because it's nostalgic to me, and I like to joke about some of the older theories there were.
Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

Maybe it is this page, Judoh? At least it's a page where I read some theories long ago, don't remember what it exactly had and I recall this page had a different structure back then. But by clicking on the links you do get to different theories. I have actually written one about EP4's final riddle being about a bomb and golden butterflies maybe being a lighted fuse.
I guess I'll stay away from these forums for a while, avoiding EP8 spoilers... Also, beware of Youtube comments, they can be fatal.

Are there all the "extra TIPS" as well. Like Lambda's Diary and Bern's letter and Witch's Tanabata?

Stars send Michael Ryder to Canadiens for Erik Cole in swap of veteran wingersNHL.com @NHLdotcom
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Less than 24 hours after picking up a career-best three assists in a loss at Nashville, the Dallas Stars have dealt right wing Michael Ryder and a third-round draft pick to the Montreal Canadiens for right wing Erik Cole in a swap of veteran forwards.
The Canadiens confirmed the trade Tuesday night.
The 32-year-old Ryder has six goals and eight assists in 19 games this year for the Stars. The 24-year-old Cole has three goals and three assists in 19 games for the Canadiens.
Ryder will be returning to the organization that drafted him in the eighth round (216th overall) of the 1998 draft.
The deal was announced just before the Stars took the ice to play the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Hobbit Sting FX Sword
Wield it with strength
- Gorgeous prop-replica sword with sound and light effects built in
- Blade glows fiery blue when activated
- Not guaranteed as an Orc early-warning system
It's a knife for an Elf, but the perfect size to function as a sword for a Hobbit. That's one of the things that makes Sting, the weapon of Bilbo Baggins, so special. Also, it functions as an Orc detection system since it glows blue in their presence.
This 1:1 scale reproduction from the Noble Collection does, too. Well, it glows blue when you flick your wrist. You have to detect the Orcs yourself, though, to know when to turn it on. This prop replica of Sting from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey features motion-activated lights and sound. When it's still, it looks like a short sword. When you wield it, however, it glows and swooshes with power. Spiders and Orcs beware!
Product Specifications
- Prop-replica of Sting with added FX
- Officially-licensed The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey merchandise
- Great gift for Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings fans or people who really don't like spiders and/or Orcs
- Motion-activated sound effects
- Sword glows fiery blue with a flick of your wrist
- Die-cast handle with silver leaf detail
- Batteries: 4 AAA batteries (not included)
- Materials: Polycarbonate blade, steel hilt, pommel, and guard
- Scale: 1:1
- Dimensions: 27" long, 18" blade
- Ages 12+

Blogger's Arrest Resulted In Much More Downloading Of GNR Music
from the wrong-approach dept
As if to provide even more evidence of that, Bob Lefsetz does a quick email back-and-forth with Eric Garland of BigChampagne, the company that tracks file sharing activity. Garland points out that prior to the arrest, there was almost no file sharing of the album, despite the fact that the leak happened a while back. However, since the arrest, the numbers have shot way up, as the arrest has really only served to alert the public that the album is available for download on BitTorrent.
Now, the cynical among you (you know who you are) may conclude that this is all a marketing ploy by the band, knowing that it would attract a lot more attention for the album, and that's why they did it. Of course, that doesn't explain why the FBI is involved and why a fan of the band may now have to sit in jail for many years for helping to promote the band. If this really is a cynical marketing ploy, it's rather sickening that the FBI is assisting and a big fan of the band may end up in jail for it.

Monte Cudine
Hi Guys: Fairly new to the site. Think that I posted a reply back in 2015.
In any event, I do collect football/soccer cards & stickers quite extensively.
I have enjoyed looking at your postings and images.
All this Monte Cudine information and talk is very interesting, and is certainly of interest to me. I have some DiStefano disc's myself, and to be honest, there is some reluctance on my part, to past on the information that I have obtained on the Monte Cudines.
What I am about to tell you begs the asking of more questions and speculation into what the truth might be. When I first received my copy of "Dificiles Erandes De Antes ", the Argentina
book about their cards/stickers, I didn't understand why the 1940's Monte Cudine disc's were not included in the book. So, I e-mailed the co-authors
of the book, Rafael Bitran and Francisco Chiappini, asking why this was the case. Only the one gentleman, Raphael Bitran replied to my e-mail.
I was advised by Mr. Bitran that they did not include the Monte Cudine disc's
in their book because they were aware of laboratory analysis results of the cardboard of the Monte Cudine disc's that proved that the paperboard used was not earlier than the 1970's. Also, that the old images used for the players was taken from Monte Cudine advertisements in the magazine " El Grafico " during the 1940's and 1950's. He indicated to me, that he felt that there was no doubt in their mind, that these disc's were not made in the 1940's.
Your head may be reeling after reading this, as mine was. I still have my
DiStefano disc's and continue to enjoy them. I will never try to grade them, as they can not be authenticated or truly proven. I'm sure sellers will continue to refer to the disc's as 1944-1947. I would like to believe that this is true,but now, I just don't know.
best regards, ray.
Monte Cudines
Wow--thanks so much for chiming in Ray. What an insight and great work on your behalf. I understand your reluctance to post this but I applaud your integrity.
And you are absolutely correct that this does open up so many more questions than it answers. The ads from the 40's and 50's obviously portray Monte Cudine alcohol along with the pictures of players, etc. Can anyone testify with 100% certainty that they were inserted into the bottles? And why would you advertise the discs and NOT include them with the product? Seems to me it was the primary reason for including them with the advertisements! When were the tests conducted and why? Who conducted them? For what purpose? Is it possible there were discs issued from the 40's and 50's and then "reprints" from the 70's. Were these tests conducted independently and how can you obtain the results.
It certainly warrants more research but it will be tough to get straightforward answers especially if these studies have some validity.
Despite all this information, does anybody have a complete checklist? Thanks.

Hey guys (especially Noel),
What RayJ said echoes what I have heard re: the monte cudine cards, and I think that is what I was alluding to in my earlier post but I just couldn't say it right. Thanks RayJ for the education. I appreciate the time you took to post on the subject and in my mind these cards are still pretty cool. If you look on mercado libre and some of the other foreign auction sites, you can find pictures of the advertisements and pictures of the discs in huge piles of a hundred or more. It always seemed odd to me that cards supposedly from the 40s and 50s and produced in such a humid climate existed in such quantities but given what we have just learned, it makes sense now. Anyway, for me it doesn't take away from the cards except that they aren't "rookies" anymore.
PSA is starting to encapsulate these discs now. They are being labelled as a 1946 issue. I know that PSA is really tough when it comes to grading new collectibles. A lot of them get rejected due to lack of documentation which PSA requires. Now since these discs are being encapsulated, someone out there must have some important information that we are not aware of.
RayJ's post is interesting. The thing I have noticed is that there are variations in this set. Please see the attached images below:
One has a black ring on the front and black lettering on the reverse. The other variation is missing the black ring and has green lettering instead. Also, you will notice that there is a red patch on the left side of his shirt. Maybe one is a reprint while the other is authentic? So far, I have seen 3 PSA graded examples on eBay and all of them were the 'black ring' variation.

NEW YORK (Action Alerts Plus) -- Hi, I'm Stephanie Link. I'm the co-portfolio manager of Action Alerts Plus, and here with me is Jim Cramer. We want to talk about our 2013 portfolio strategy. Jim, 2012 was pretty good for us.
Jim Cramer:16.7 percent which is better than the S&P and you know how hard that is playing with one hand behind out back because everybody gets our alerts before we can take action. I always laugh because when I first started, you know, everyone told me in the money management business, 'Well, you idiot. First of all you're revealing your strategy. Second, you're giving them a head start.' You know, what is was always about, giving people a head start, head start in what we're up to, and that's why I feel good about it.
Stephanie Link:And it's more than just about stock picking. It's also about education which I think is really very valuable for our subscribers. So 2012, unfortunately is behind us. We have to turn the page.
Jim Cramer:I know. I always felt that way at the beginning of the year when I was a hedge fund manager. It's like, 'Oh my God. The clock started again.'
Stephanie Link:I know, but we do have some good themes for 2013. So maybe we can through that, a few of them. You can start and we'll throw a few stock ideas in there as well.
Jim Cramer:Well, talk about there was a great upgrade today of price target risk for Weyerhaeuser and this WY is probably part of our central thesis that the consumer is doing better. And I was listening to Byron Wien, an old friend of mine talk about how bad the S&P is going to do today, and we're stock pickers. I don't really care about how bad the S&P is going to be first quarter, second quarter. You try to find transcendent themes and housing is a transcendent theme, whether it be with our regional banks or whether it be with Weyerhaeuser.
Stephanie Link:Right. Housing and construction in general and one new position that we recently added to, that we put into the fund, is United Technologies because you get half of the revenues from construction, right, because of HVAC and all that and their Otis elevators and whatnot, and then you also do get the global aerospace, which is a little controversial right now because of the Boeing issue, but we did sell Boeing. We thought they were a little too much headline risk, but we still like that theme.
Jim Cramer:Look, 8,900 orders for big aircraft, commercial business orders way up. Where am I getting these numbers from? From Klaus Kleinfields' mornings in the Alcoa call last night. You want to be levered to construction because construction is a function of architectural buildings. You want to be levered to the fact that housing starts keep going up. We had an affordability number that was fabulous. You want to be levered to China. There's United Technologies. Remember this is a company that makes elevators and if you're building buildings you're going to be in United Technologies. These are very good things. HVAC, you know, the heating, ventilation, air conditioning. And I like these themes because when the market goes down, they're not done. There are opportunities.
Stephanie Link:Right. And so that's the one bright spot in the US, right. We definitely agree on that. And what we've actually started to focus on is outside the US. So it is China, and it is Latin America, Brazil and it is also Europe stabilizing. Japan may be just getting going, and so we've actually put in a few ETFs, which is kind of rare for us to do.
Jim Cramer:Highly unusual, but you know what? When you're in a world where you think that the government could shut down...look, I'm not being political and I hate politics. When you're in a world though where the headlines are based in DC, you know what? I want to be based in Tokyo, I want to based in Berlin, and most importantly I want to be based in Beijing. And I think what people have to understand is that it's possible that the Chinese government is going to get that command economy back to double-digit growth, and if that's the case it's a rising tide that does not lift all boats, it lifts the boats we're in, and I think that's really important because we're playing China directly. Japan look, they're finally reflating. I was thinking this morning of you know, Panasonic has a new TV, it's actually a big tablet, and I was thinking, 'Oh, geeze. Well they're idiots.' No. No. They have always been good manufacturers but it's been too expensive. And then Europe, go back over the Alcoa call. What happens before you bottom is you have to decline in the rate of decline and that's where we are with Europe. We have some yield there, too. I like these.
Stephanie Link:Yeah. So we have more of our portfolio has definitely been towards the cyclical names for sure.
Jim Cramer:And less United States except for the consumer...
Stephanie Link:That's right.
Jim Cramer:But we're not that big in retail, which you know, I waffle over. That's hard.
Stephanie Link:Well, it's probably the right call for now, but we're looking on opportunities so we talk about Ross stores a lot, but we like TJ (Maxx) better, so if that one were to come down that might be one name that we add to.
Jim Cramer:Right, and the little guy always likes to be upfront, and one of things that's great about the product, we didn't get Bed Bath right. We didn't get Dollar General right. What can the investor learn from...well, they can say, 'Well listen, you guys are clowns.' Hey, listen, I've been called a clown multiple times. I used to have the hair like the Bozo, but what's really important is that we recognize when we make a mistake, and then we try to figure out how to improve. We've looked at Home Depot too, and we're not going to own an Amazon, I think, because that's...MasterCard's tough enough. I mean, you come in everyday and the stocks down 10 or up then Apple's difficult, but I think that this theme that we're seeing is the consumer is better than expected. Washington's worse than expected so therefore you have bad headline risk whether it be from Boeing or actually for the economy, but you do have a secular tailwind in the fact that we were building 400,000 homes just a few years ago and that's way under what we could be. Secular tailwind, I think something you and I both feel we've got to be more involved in, it's auto. And we're in Key (Corp.), which would be lending for auto. Wells (Fargo) is a giant lender for auto.
Stephanie Link:And you're looking at Ford and I'm looking at Borg-Warner and we're constantly battle between which one do we want to own.
Jim Cramer:What people have to understand, I mean, look, at 4:30 in the morning I'm getting e-mails from you and I'm responding instantaneously to yours, but because what we're about is trying to get it right. And I think that one of the things that I hope people understand is when you're trying to get it right, that means can I handle the pain of Southwestern, because it's warm out. Is it better not to be in Chevron? We bounced back Hess, but there's no dividend. It was a bad idea before. Conoco, there's dividend, but there's no growth. What we're about is duking it out. That's very similar to what I've seen in the really best investment houses, which is you think it is...oh, let's just use an example, Boeing versus United Technology. Do I feel badly that Boeing's up today? I like Boeing. I like Mac and Ernie, but you know, no, I don't feel bad because that means United Technology is going to go up, too.
Stephanie Link:That's right. So one last point, you have to be diversified. We have stressed that so many times that you can't just own all of one sector or even be all in cyclicals. So on the defensive side, one of the themes that we've also chosen to focus on is merging markets, right. So even if Procter and Gamble might be a little boring, might not have a lot of beta, we kind of like that as an offset, and they are gaining growth in those markets. Same thing like Abbott (Labs), and I think the split was really fabulous. News Corp...so there's a lot in terms of on the defensive sides that you can find as well.
Jim Cramer:Right. Breaking up is easy to do. I saw Viacom today go up even though it's not doing as well as News Corp with Fox, but you know what? Fox isn't doing...but it doesn't matter. The breaking up is going to bring up big value. Abbott is bringing up big value. Miles White, who really is the engine behind Abbott, very smart CEO versus okay, McDonald at Procter and Gamble. Two ways to win Procter and Gamble. McDonald either gets it right, or Mac and Ernie who is the Boeing CEOs on the board of Procter and Gamble, I think he's, 'Listen it's time for you to step down.' Two ways to win in Procter and Gamble. I always like to have an ace up the sleeve, whether it be the dividend behind it, whether it be management change, whether it be the possibility of a breakup, whether it be something which just says, 'You know what? The normalized earnings power has been misunderstood. It can really come back here.' which is also key in Wells Fargo. So I mean, I want to emphasize at all times we're looking for multiple ledges, we're trying to be diversified and may I just point out that in a very tough year we had, it was like that the beginning of 2009, we had nine oil companies, or oil-related companies and it was our Achilles's heel. And as much as people might think, 'Banks, so fabulous. Why don't you own 10 banks? Tech gets hot. Why don't you own...?' I mean, in the end like Broadcom announced better than expected. The stock barely went up. You know, Seagate, you can go buy STX, but it's low quality. You have to be in the panoply and we try to pick out which to overweight because that's what a good manager does.
Stephanie Link:That's right. Well, great. Well I hope that 2013 is as good as 2012.
Jim Cramer:Well, let's sure hope...I mean, really look, hope shouldn't part of the equation, but yes. The year starts exactly that way. Every year it's been for me and my 33 year in the game.
Stephanie Link:Great. Thanks.

Back to the scrapbook!
Grandma had a lot of memories in the scrapbook which were unmarked but the next pages were labeled well. She even titled the page!
There is an assortment of photos here, although I can't identify too many of the people. I'm not sure why she wouldn't have liked this photo – it is beautiful and I love her stylish outfit.
Here's her 'best' friend, Hallie Hitchcock.
I've done a little research on Hallie and found that she married Horace Read in about 1920. Sadly, Horace died in 1930 and I haven't been able to find out much more about Hallie. I'd love to connect with one of her ancestors so that I can share some of these photos.
Looks like Grandma and the gang went to San Juan Canyon.
Who was the Hollister bunch and how did she know them?
I'm not sure why she would say she's in the picture though not seen. When I zoom in on the photo I don't see her – is she hiding somewhere?
Look at those hats! Grandma is 2nd from the right, underneath the "sh" in horseshoe.
And here's a couple of the boys. Elbert, on the left, was Hallie's younger brother and a classmate at Monterey High School.
I just love this photo – they look like they're having such fun! I have no idea who Marion and Sis are, but I do know that Sis was not her sister since she only had a brother.
It's so fun to see these photos and to get an idea of what life was like almost 100 years ago.

Hello again and welcome!
At the beginning of the academic year, it is customary that I celebrate a Mass of the Holy Spirit at each of the seminaries in the archdiocese.
The first this year was on Friday at Blessed John XXIII National Seminary, which is sponsored by the Archdiocese of Boston and forms men from all over the country for second-career vocations.
The rector, Father Bill Palardy, was very proud to show us his newly renovated Chapel, which came out very beautifully, as well as the new entrance.
The new chapel
A rendering of the new entrance
They also did renovations within the building, installing such things as a new sprinkler system. It was a very extensive renovation that was underway all summer.
They have a very good enrollment this year. There are a couple new dioceses that are sending candidates to the seminary and their enrollment is about 66 candidates.
I look forward to hosting the seminary's annual Lawn Party on September 19 which, in addition to being an opportunity to support Blessed John XXIII National Seminary, will also give many people their first chance to see all the wonderful restoration work that has been done there.
Later that day, we also had a Mass of the Holy Spirit to begin the academic year at the Jesuits' Blessed Peter Faber Residence, the home of many students and teachers from the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry.
I was very pleased to meet the new superior Father Jim Gartland. He is originally from Cleveland and went to the same high school as my brother, St. Ignatius High.
With Father Jim standing in front of the statute of Our Lady of Montserrat, the image that inspired St. Ignatius and where he went to lay down his arms before the Blessed Virgin when he began his religious life
Saturday, I was pleased to welcome Anthony Raj and Saviona Dominique to the Cathedral. They are a newly-married couple from Bangalore, India who were visiting Father Felipe Gonzalez, our parochial vicar at the Cathedral. They had wanted to come for his ordination in June, but were unable to come until now. They are spending some time Boston and will travel with Father Felipe when he returns home to California for some vacation later this month.
With Anthony and Savonia, Donis Tracy, who is hosting them here in Boston, and Father Felipe
That day, I was also visited by Hercules Wernick, who has been very active in our Brazilian Apostolate here in the archdiocese. He is returning to Brazil to enter the seminary in his home diocese and he came to say goodbye.
We are very grateful for all that he has done for us while he was here, and we ask that the Lord bless him and protect his vocation.
Sunday, I went to Ludlow in Western Massachusetts to take part in the celebrations there of Our Lady of Fatima.
The church there is very beautiful
There was a very large outdoor Mass, attended by an estimated 30,000 people.
There was also a long candlelight procession with the praying of the rosary. Throughout the procession, the people sang traditional typical Portuguese hymns, "13 de Mayo", "Salve Rainha", and of course ending with the beautiful "Despedida."
There were many priests and seminarians from the Archdiocese of Boston in attendance. Msgr. Chris Connelly, the rector of the Cathedral of the Diocese of Springfield, was there representing Bishop Timothy McDonald.
On Monday, Labor Day, I was very happy to visit the Carmelite Sisters at St. Patrick's Manor in Framingham to celebrate their foundation day. This year was particularly special for them because their foundress, Mother Angeline Therese, was declared venerable by the Holy Father earlier this year.
Many of the sisters were there, including their four postulants.
Afterwards, I greeted many of the residents at St. Patrick's Manor and had a very nice lunch with the sisters.
That afternoon, I attended the annual Labor Day barbecue for priests hosted by Father Bob Casey at Gate of Heaven in South Boston. This year, the barbecue was very well attended. I think there must have been between 80 and 90 priests there.
It was a wonderful afternoon of priestly fraternity and a great way to celebrate Labor Day.
Tuesday I was visited by Msgr. Franco Mammoli, who is the pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe of Monte Mario in Rome. This is the titular church assigned to Cardinal Dolan, who became a cardinal at the last consistory. He he is going over next month to take formal possession of the church.
The monsignor, who is pastor of the church, has a cousin here in Boston and was here for a wedding. So, he came and took a tour of the Cathedral and left me this book about the church.
Wednesday, I celebrated a Mass to mark the 15th anniversary of the passing of Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Appropriately, it was in the church dedicated to Blessed Mother Teresa in Dorchester. Sister Ajay and the other Missionaries of Charity were there, along with many of their close collaborators.
There were a number of priests concelebrating, including Father Huy Nguyen and Father Jack Ahern, Father Michael Sheehan FPO, who was ordained this year, and Father Andrew Beauregard FPO. We were also very happy to be joined by many of the schoolchildren from Blessed John Paul II Catholic Academy, who were having their first day of school.
In the afternoon at the Pastoral Center we had our annual Employee Appreciation Day. The celebration began with the noon-time Mass followed by a "cook-in" upstairs in the cafeteria. (It was a "cook-in" rather than a "cookout" because it was pouring rain outside!) Nevertheless, everyone enjoyed themselves.
Then, that evening I went to CatholicTV for recording of a rosary with several Little Sisters of the Poor and residents from their Jeanne Juggan Residence in Somerville.
The rosary was taped to be broadcast during the Novena of Rosaries that we will ask the people the archdiocese to participate in as we pray for the defeat of the physician assisted suicide ballot initiative in the Commonwealth.
Until next week,
Cardinal Seán

Topeka Man Sentenced On Gun, Drug Charges
TOPEKA, KAN. – A Topeka man has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison on federal gun and drug charges, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.
Terrance Anthony Dean, Jr., 23, Topeka, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm after being charged with a felony. In his plea, he admitted that on Sept. 19, 2011, law enforcement officers were looking for him to serve an arrest warrant. On that day law enforcement officers saw him attempt to sell marijuana. They arrested him after a foot chase. In his car, they found marijuana and a 12 gauge shotgun. He was prohibited from possessing a firearm because he already had been charged in Douglas Country District Court with felony attempted robbery.
The 30-month federal sentence is to be served consecutively to the sentence he is serving in the attempted robbery case.
Grissom commended the Shawnee County Sheriff's Office, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Assistant U.S. Attorney Randy Hendershot for their work on the case.

- Photography by Mr Christopher Sturman
- Words by Ms Alice Rawsthorn, design critic, International Herald Tribune
Whenever you check into a hotel and see something that looks as if it: a) might be fun; and b) was designed in this century, not the last one, you should say a quiet "thank you" to Mr Ian Schrager. It was he who invented the "designer hotel" in the 1980s, which has since been widely copied, sometimes well, often not so well: though blaming him for the lame imitations would be like chiding Le Corbusier for the dodgy tower blocks designed by lesser architects, or Rihanna for karaoke caterwaulers.
Not that the copycats have rattled him, because Mr Schrager, now 67, a genial New Yorker, who looks and sounds like a character in a screwball comedy, is soon to open The London Edition on Berners Street in the UK capital as the second of a planned global chain of hotels. It combines the visual pyrotechnics expected of any of Mr Schrager's ventures with the gleaming marble, stucco and wood panelling of a traditional London gentleman's club. Mr Jason Atherton will be running the restaurant, called Berners Tavern, and tucked away in the basement is a space for talks and screenings. This space will also feature what Mr Schrager promises will be "a great little dance club", which brings us to another reason to thank him.
In the past, everyone circled overhead and grabbed our ideas
Mr Schrager did not invent the nightclub, but the better ones owe something to Studio 54, the discotastic New York club he ran in the late 1970s with a college friend, Mr Steve Rubell. The day after its opening, the front page of the New York Post featured a photo of Cher boogying beneath an enormous neon man on the moon that lit up suggestively when a spoon sprinkled tiny white stars up his nose.
As well as upping the ante for nightclub production values, Studio 54 popularised what are now standard marketing ploys. It wasn't the first club to use a velvet rope as a barrier to entry, but deployed it so flamboyantly - Mr Rubell refused to admit anyone "ugly" - that it became part of its mystique. Nor did he and Mr Schrager invent celebrity culture, but by encouraging the paparazzi to lurk outside night after night, they did much to foster it.
Studio 54's reign ended in 1980, when its owners were convicted of tax evasion, and served 13 months in prison. (Ms Diana Ross sang at their send-off bash.) After their release, they opened a new club, the Palladium, designed by the Japanese architect Mr Arata Isozaki. (Cue a stream of starchitect commissions by other companies.) They also anticipated the now common practice of forging commercial collaborations with artists, by commissioning work from Messrs Jean-Michel Basquiat and Julian Schnabel, among others.
The neverending party

But their next venture proved even more influential. "You know, we got into the hotel business by accident," recalls Mr Schrager. "When we sold Studio 54, we were given promissory notes that the owner couldn't pay, so we traded them for a hotel he owned." They hired Ms Andrée Putman, the grande dame of French interiors, to reinvent it as Morgans, a crisply chic hotel for the growing band of yuppie globetrotters. It opened in 1984, followed by another New York hotel, the Royalton, where the enfant terrible of post-modernist design, Mr Philippe Starck, created one of the finest (now, tragically, destroyed) interiors of the 1980s.
Mr Rubell died of Aids in 1989. Mr Schrager went on to open more hotels with many of the same elements - dazzling lobbies, dazzlier loos and "castings" for eye candy staff - thereby saving yet more young globetrotters, then and since, from staying in the same sort of hotels as their grandparents.
Having sold his first hotel company in 2005, Mr Schrager built another, and is now working with the Marriott chain to create Edition. "I've never done anything on a really, really big scale before," he says. "In the past, everybody circled overhead and grabbed our ideas. This time, I'll be out there like a bat out of hell, doing a lot of hotels fast before anyone copies us."

Looking ahead to the possibility of medical marijuana in Walpole, the Board of Health is expected to finalize draft regulations on dispensaries in town, should the state decide to grant further licenses in the coming years.
The Walpole regulations specify that dispensaries can only be open between the hours of 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., and establish that applicants must pay a one-time fee of $800 dollars to review their application in addition to $400 annually for the permit.
The board sets forth in the regulations that no one can sell marijuana or marijuana products (such as food with marijuana in it) without a Registered Marijuana Dispensary (RMD) permit. The permits will be issued annually, expiring on Dec. 31 every year. Permits will only be renewed if the holder is in compliance with all state laws and local regulations.
To obtain a permit, applicants must already hold a RMD registration, issued by the state. Registration holders must then submit a detailed summary of the facility and its operating policies to the board, along with the application requirements from the state.
Starting the licensing process, the state issued 20 of the possible 35 dispensary permits last month, with two set for Norfolk County. Anticipating the release of the 15 other dispensary licenses in the future, the Walpole board will vote on a set of regulations that would control permitting and the sale of marijuana in town.
Though no dispensaries are currently slated for Walpole, the board drafted regulations meant to complement state dispensary laws, designed to give municipalities some control over how they are permitted.
"Our premise is that the first 20 dispensaries, [the state] had very careful scrutiny on it," Walpole Health Director Robin Chapell said. "We don�t know what the process is going to be for them going forward. It will be our eyes, looking for the best interest of our community and making sure their plans meet what the town wants to see."
As the town�s moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries is set to expire this June, Chapell said the board wanted to have regulations in place as a precaution. While many thought the moratorium should have been lifted after the town set zoning regulations subjugating dispensaries to industrial areas that are not near schools or other public areas with children, Chapell said the board asked for the moratorium to stay in place while they drafted rules.
In the regulations, the board asks for floor plans, security details, plans for storage and transportation of marijuana, personnel policies, and more in the current draft. Additionally, the board specifies that only permanent facilities are eligible to apply, ruling out mobile dispensaries. Self service stations, free samples and vending machines within the facility are also ruled out in the draft.
If an RMD plans to grow marijuana, the facility must meet a set of standards, including protection for the health and safety of nearby residents.
Dispensaries in Walpole would only be allowed to sell medical marijuana, with the regulations barring the sale of tobacco products, liquor and lottery tickets. Permit holders are not allowed to also have a liquor license or tobacco sales license from the town.
All transactions at the dispensary must be recorded by a 24-hour closed-circuit camera, the regulation draft say, which will be made available to the BoH or law enforcement upon request.
Specific signs provided by the town must be hung at all entrances, prohibiting anyone without a medical marijuana prescription card.
If the dispensary wants to sell what the board calls marijuana infused products, or food laced with marijuana, it will be subject to a review of the cooking area to ensure sanitary conditions, the regulations state.
"Just like somebody walks into a store and gets a brownie, they expect that all the food being prepared is sanitized and it�s done the proper way," Chapell said. "[Dispensaries] don�t call it food, they call it marijuana infused product. It doesn�t have to be inspected or looked at, but this will allow [the town to inspect] if we want to do that."
If any of the terms are violated, the permit holder must pay $300 for the first offense. Subsequent violations occurring within two years of the first will require an additional fine and a growing license suspension period.
As announced at a public hearing early this month, the board is expected to vote on the draft regulations at its March�25 meeting. Though it is at the board�s discretion to approve or strike down the regulations, Chapell said her feeling is that the board is in favor of a set of Walpole regulations, particularly because she said there was little input at the public hearing.
"The board can say, �no, we don�t want any regulations,� but that wasn�t how the board talked about it," Chapell said. "They could always say, �we don�t like this wording, we forgot this.� I think they liked the regulations as they saw them."

The New York Yacht Club was formed in 1844 onboard the yacht Gimcrack anchored off the Battery in New York Harbor. The Club's first Cruise was held later that summer bound for Newport, Rhode Island. A year later, the Annual Regatta was begun and the 158th edition was held in 2012. In 1901, the Club's burgee was hoisted over the spectacular beaux-arts style building, designed by Whitney Warren and known for its Model Room and Library, which serves as the Club's home in the heart of Manhattan. Harbour Court, the Club's first permanent waterfront facility commissioned in 1988, overlooks Brenton Cove and Newport Harbor and has become the focal point of many premier regional, national and world sailing championships. The original clubhouse, a small gingerbread trimmed house constructed in 1845 in Hoboken, NJ, now sits on the sloping lawn at Harbour Court. The history and tradition of New York Yacht Club is rich and storied, from winning and defending the America's Cup from 1851 to 1983, to running transatlantic races, cruising, racing, teaching, leading... all distinguished by an enduring passion for yachting.

I just got off the phone with a heimishe woman in Australia, and got a pin-point report on Rabbi Nuchem's trip.
Let me quote this woman's exact quote "Rabbi Nuchem was treated like a rock-star".
Rabbi Nuchem made an historic trip to Australia and the crowds went wild, they engaged in conversation, they listened to his speeches and they enjoyed a spiritual week they won't forget for a while.
I am not here to repeat every little detail, you can hear that on the Rabbis blog www.nochemrosenberg.blogspot.com and you can hear the details from the Rabbi himself. But I do want to educate the NY rabbis (Yes, I said educate) and expose the attitude and bluff we are surrounded with in New York.
The community there is just as bright as we are, just as smart as we are and just as educated as we are, never the less, they all came together and listened to the Rabbi and to his speeches. Why did they come? because they have the same problems we do, and they want to know how to deal with it and they want to better themselves and they want to have a clean community.
They don't have the attitude "who is nuchem to listen to" Who needs this American rabbi. They knew that they are willing to do anything they can, to protect their kids, their streets, their schools and their community.
The same scene repeats itself everywhere in the Jewish communities all over the USA where the Rabbi preaches his heart-felt speeches and educates communities all through the USA.. The Rabbi Has attracted crowds in almost every USA State over the years and been invited to come back again and again
The only place where the Rabbi is not welcomed is the "Chassidishe crowd" in NYC. Why IS that? Why don't we want to listen to him? What are we afraid of? Why are we so scared of this isolated man? Why not just ignore this silly man?
It's all in the attitude! Its all in the fear these rabbis throw on the community, and let me explain.
The Rabbis here ( I crinch every time I must call David Eichenstein or Mendel Teitelbaum and similar garbage "Rabbi") have two things going for them.
1. They got the worst attitude in the world. They will never listen to someone other than them. Because they are holy people, they are the best-of-the-best, and who are they to listen to little Nuchem Rosenberg?
The funny part is, that they are so full of it, that they are actually convincing themselves that they are actually good people. David Eichenstien actually thinks that he is one of the Tzadikkim of this generation. How deep in hell are we!
This rabbunim are so crooked and so off the real path, that it is so scary. It is so sad that we as people in the community let them get away with it and are scared to open our mouths. In Australia, no one cared that Rabbi Beck was not happy that Rabbi Nuchem was there, they laughed at him and decided to show up so they can learn something. But here in NY we don't have the guts they have, obviously!
2. The Rabbis lead the cast of pedophiles in our community, so they will do everything in their power to shut Rabbi nuchem up!
They cannot afford to let the community hear what Rabbi Nuchem is saying, because they are done and exposed. Little do they know that everyone listens to rabbi Nuchem, and the hotlines have more phone calls every week that all these Rabunnims synagogue members combined.
Raboisai, I will say it until I am blue in my face. MAKE A STAND FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR KIDS! Take action or your kid might be the next Leiby Kletzky. Everything Rabbi Nuchem has been telling us, happened in the community. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

It's fascinating to first build your infrastructure and later venture inside it fighting of invading aliens. Of course first you have to select and train your people, research and build of steal guns and ammo, etc. But be careful, the game can be quite addictive.

Each year, the NAIA National Convention is an opportunity for those who work on behalf of the student-athlete to meet with peers to discuss legislation, engage in professional development and honor those who have excelled throughout the previous year.
Association business is not the only topic at the NAIA National Convention. Each attendee leaves the convention with a understanding of why the NAIA is the best fit for student-athletes. Sessions are offered and tailored according to each position at a school, including CEOs, athletics directors, faculty athletics representatives, conference commissioners and campus character representatives.
