1863 Johnson Map of California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and ArizonaCaliforniaUtahNewMexicoArizona-johnson-1863
1863 Johnson Map of California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and ArizonaCaliforniaUtahNewMexicoArizona-johnson-1863
A rare mapping of the briefly extant Confederate State of Arizona.
1863 (undated) 17.5 x 24.5 in (44.45 x 62.23 cm)
In 1861 'Arrizona' was an alternate name for the lands added to the New Mexico territory by the 1854 Gadsden Purchase. With only a small population and minimal political influence this region was largely ignored by the New Mexico territorial government in distant Santa Fe. Arizona applied several times to be granted independent territorial status, but its low population caused the request to be repeatedly denied. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Arizonans recognized an opportunity to appeal to an alternate body for the political needs of the region and threw in their lot with the secessionist southern states. Around this time the Union began to withdraw troops from the region in fear that Santa Fe would be attacked by Confederate soldiers operating out of Texas. In Texas itself the Confederate Col. John Robert Baylor, recognizing a strategic opportunity, led his troops into Southern Arizona. In a series of brilliant tactical maneuvers, Baylor defeated the much large Union garrison and seized Fort Fillmore and Messilla. Shortly thereafter Baylor declared himself Territorial Governor of the Confederate Territory of Arizona including 'all that portion of New Mexico lying south of the thirty-fourth parallel of north latitude.' The Confederate Territory of Arizona lasted less than a year before it was seized by the Union Army and dismantled in favor of the current configuration with the Arizona – New Mexico border situated along a north-south axis. Some have suggested that the current border between Arizona and New Mexico was chosen for no other reason than that it differed from the Confederate border. However, it is far more likely that this border was influenced by the prospect of a Southern Pacific railroad route. If the Confederate boundaries had remained the railroad would have would have run only through Arizona, thus denying New Mexico the political and business opportunities that would have inevitably followed. A longitudinal border, however, allowed both territories to be enriched by the Southern Pacific Railroad. This is one of the few maps issued during this short and politically volatile period to specifically depict the Confederate Territory of Arizona.
This example also varies from the previous state of the map in that the California – Nevada border has been corrected to a straight line between Pyramid Peak (where several Mormon settlements are noted) and Fort Moliare.
elsewhere on the map, Utah and Arizona are split up along the 116th meridian, far west of where it sits today. Fillmore City is shows as the capital of Utah though Salt Lake City also appears. In Colorado the Gold Region near Colorado City is prominently depicted. Throughout, this map is full of interesting and sometimes erroneous notations regarding natural features, Native American tribes, proposed railroads, mail routes, explorer's tracks, and treaty lines. In the highly desertous region near modern day Quartzite, Arizona, a note reads 'in the vicinity of this place a tract of country is found which is said by Trappers to be exceedingly and fertile and abundantly timbered and well watered.' Johnson also notes silver deposits in this same region. 'Vegas' appears roughly in its current location though at the time there was little there but a natural water source and an abandoned Mormon fort. The famed Pony express Route is delineated as it passes through Nebraska, Utah, and Nevada on its way to California.
All in all, this is an extraordinarily example of one of the scarcest and most desirable 19th century American atlas maps of the southwestern part of the United States. Published by A. J. Johnson and Ward as plate numbers 58 and 59 in the 1863 edition of Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas.
Alvin Jewett Johnson (September 23, 1827 - April 22, 1884) was a prolific American map publisher active from 1856 to the mid-1880s. Johnson was born into a poor family in Wallingford, Vermont where he received only a based public education. He is known to have worked as school teacher for several years before moving to Richmond, Virginia. Johnson got his first taste of the map business and a salesman and book canvasser for J. H. Colton and company. The earliest Johnson maps were published with D. Griffing Johnson (no clear relation) and date to the mid-1850s, however it was not until 1860 that the Johnson firm published its first significant work, the Johnson's New Illustrated (Steel Plate) Family Atlas. The publication of the Family Atlas followed a somewhat mysterious 1859 deal with the well-established but financially strapped J. H. Colton cartographic publishing firm. Although map historian Water Ristow speculates that Colton sold his copyrights to Johnson and his business partner, another Vermonter named Ross C. Browning (1832 - 1899), a more likely theory is that Johnson and Browning financially supported the Colton firm in exchange for the right to use Colton's existing copyrighted map plates. Regardless of which scenario actually occurred it is indisputable that the first Johnson atlas maps were mostly reissues of earlier Colton maps. Early on Johnson described his firm as the "Successors to J. H. Colton and Company". Johnson's business strategy involved transferring the original Colton steel plate engravings to cheaper lithographic stones, allowing his firm to produce more maps at a lower price point. In 1861, following the outbreak of the American Civil War the Johnson and Browning firm moved their office from Richmond, Virginia to New York City. Johnson and Browning published two editions of the Johnson Atlas in 1860 and 1861. Sometime in 1861 Browning's portion of the firm was purchased by Benjamin P. Ward, whose name subsequently replaced Browning's on the imprint. The 1863 issue of the Family Atlas was one of the most unusual, it being a compilation of older Johnson and Browning maps, updated 1862 Johnson and Ward map issues, and newer 1863 maps with a revised border design. The 1864 issue of the Family Atlas is the first true Johnson and Ward atlas. Johnson published one more edition of the atlas in partnership with Ward in 1865, after which Johnson seems to have bought out Ward's share the firm. The next issue of the Atlas, 1866, is the first purely "Johnson" atlas with all new map plates, updated imprints, and copyrights. The Family Atlas went through roughly 27 years of publication, from 1860 to 1887, outliving Johnson himself who died in 1884. Johnson maps from the Family Atlas are notable for their unique borders, of which there are four different designs, the "strapwork border" from 1860 to 1863, the "fretwork border" from 1863 to 1869 and the "spirograph border" in 1870 – 1882, and a more elaborate version of the same from 1880-1887. In addition to the Family Atlas Johnson issued numerous wall maps, pocket maps, and in the 1880s the Cyclopedia. Johnson maps are known for their size, accuracy, detail, and stunning, vivid hand coloring. Johnson maps, purely American in their style and execution, chronicle some of the most important and periods in American history including the Civil War, the Westward Expansion, and the Indian Wars. Today Johnson's maps, especially those of the American west, are highly sought after by map collectors and historians.

Theophylline for Long-Term Control of Asthma
Skip to the navigation
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Elixophyllin, Theochron
Theophylline is available as pills, capsules, liquid, and injection.
How It Works
Theophylline is a methylxanthine. Sustained-release methylxanthine medicines are used to control inflammation in the airways in the lungs (bronchial tubes). Short-acting methylxanthine medicines are used to control narrowing of the bronchial tubes. This may reduce asthma symptoms.
Why It Is Used
Theophylline is used in mild-to-moderate persistent asthma. It is usually used with an inhaled corticosteroid. It can be used by itself or with an inhaled corticosteroid to control symptoms at night.
Theophylline is considered an alternative medicine for persistent asthma in adults. Inhaled corticosteroids are preferred. It is also considered an alternative addition to inhaled corticosteroids in moderate persistent asthma in children and adults. Long-acting inhaled beta2-agonists are the preferred addition to inhaled corticosteroids. footnote 1
In rare cases, theophylline may be used instead of another asthma medicine:
- In small children who have trouble using an inhaler
- In people who are more likely to take a medicine by mouth than by inhaler
- As added medicine for people whose asthma is not controlled with an inhaled corticosteroid
Different types of medicines are often used together in the treatment of asthma. Treatment for asthma depends on a person's age, his or her type of asthma, and how well the treatment is controlling asthma symptoms.
- Children up to age 4 are usually treated a little differently than those 5 to 11 years old.
- The least amount of medicine that controls the asthma symptoms is used.
- The amount of medicine and number of medicines are increased in steps. So if asthma is not controlled at a low dose of one controller medicine, the dose may be increased. Or another medicine may be added.
- If the asthma has been under control for several months at a certain dose of medicine, the dose may be reduced. This can help find the least amount of medicine that will control the asthma.
- Quick-relief medicine is used to treat asthma attacks. But if you or your child needs to use quick-relief medicine a lot, the amount and number of controller medicines may be changed.
Your doctor will work with you to help find the number and dose of medicines that work best.
How Well It Works
The addition of theophylline to an inhaled corticosteroid can improve lung function in adults with uncontrolled mild-to-moderate persistent asthma. footnote 2
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- An extremely rapid heart rate (tachycardia).
- A seizure.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Nausea, vomiting, heartburn, and diarrhea.
- Headache and irritability.
- Sleep problems (insomnia).
- Overactivity in children.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Many other medicines (such as antibiotics, medicines to control stomach acid, birth control pills, medicines to calm people, heart medicines, and seizure medicines), alcohol, and some medical conditions can affect the levels of theophylline in the blood. High blood levels of theophylline cause increased side effects.
Because theophylline interacts with many different medicines, tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking. Your doctor also will check the level of theophylline in your blood regularly to make sure it is not too high.
Babies are especially at risk for developing high levels of theophylline in the blood. So they need their blood levels checked regularly. Slow-release theophylline has an even greater risk for causing side effects than the short-acting medicine.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed .
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Tahrir Square at dusk can be a lonely and forbidding place. When the wind kicks up, trash swirls past the smiling faces of young men killed in clashes against the government that are painted on the walls along Mohamed Mahmoud Street.
And into the filthy stairwells of the local metro station, reeking of urine and abandonment.
And past the small cluster of young toughs who man the homemade barricade they use to keep the vast majority of traffic out of the square.
The ability to cross Tahrir, which used to route traffic through the center of this teeming city, is like the parting of the Red Sea in Cairo today – a rare (and in this case minor) miracle.
A squat young tough is controlling access on this evening. A car rolls up to the barricade – a friend! – and the metal barriers are pulled aside as he is waved through towards the Nile and home with a smile and a high-five. An aging Peugeot sedan with a mother and three young children crammed in, her husband at the wheel, tries to nudge through behind him, but the tough roughly slams the gates shut and begins banging on the hood.
The mother pops out, fuming, and starts screaming abuse at the self-styled revolutionary blocking the way. He laughs and a few of his friends, some holding metal bars, start to drift over. The family gives up and sets off for what promises to be a one-hour trip to navigate the mile or so around the square.
Next up is a furious cab driver, who jumps out of his car yelling that he's trying to make a living, and tries to yank open the barricade. The young man whistles for support and more of his pals run over. An older man, with gray hair and a drooping mustache, comes over, gets in the cab driver's face, and tells him, "Unless you want to walk home, I suggest you leave now." The cabbie gives up and putters away, leaving a stream of curses in his wake, the bedraggled community of Tahrir unruffled by his passage.
Vendors, drifters, football fans
Almost two years after the joyous uprising that drove Mubarak from power, this is the day-to-day depressing reality at Tahrir. The young revolutionaries who filled the square in 2011 are mostly gone now, with the tents now occupied equal parts by vendors, people with seemingly no place else to go, and young members of the Ultras, Cairo's hard-core football supporters clubs.
Are they making a difference at the square? On most days, it doesn't feel like it. The energy and passion are gone. Some enterprising tour guides have started leading foreign tourists through the square to teach them about the "revolution." The real revolution? It's everywhere, in the graffiti and evidence of past battles. But a living revolution? It's hard to feel it here.
Some Egyptian friends disagree, arguing that the square can be galvanized to action at a moment's notice, and that it will play a role in Egypt's transition again. But no matter how many people might be here, there's an emptiness, because Egypt has moved well past the point where being against something was enough. Now is the time for being for something, and that's the sort of political problem that doesn't get fixed with mass protests.
Second anniversary ahead
There are still plenty of real grievances in Egypt, and some are hoping that the square will be revitalized again on Jan. 25, the second anniversary of the uprising. But for now, Tahrir is a desultory and occasionally dangerous place. Last week, ineffective Molotov cocktails were thrown at the Arab League headquarters on one end of the square. At the end of December, Mohanned Samir, a member of the April 6 Movement, was shot in the head in Tahrir. Some suspect that Mr. Samir, a critic of the new Muslim Brotherhood-led regime and of Egypt's military establishment alike, was targeted because he witnessed the killing of Ramy al-Sharqawi, another activist, not far from the square in 2011 and was prepared to testify about it. When he was shot in the head, he had only recently been released from eight months in prison for participating in the violent protests in December 2011.
An Ultra named Mohamed al-Mesri proudly stretches his shirt to show the scar left by six stitches he received when he was knifed on the right-side of his chest a few weeks ago. Who stabbed him? "A thug with a beard." Why is he still at Tahrir? He wants justice for the more than 70 soccer fans killed in clashes at Port Said in February 2012 that most Ultras believe was backed by the military to punish them for supporting the revolution.
The average Cairo resident's experience of post-revolution Egypt is of the horrendous traffic snarls created by the various barricades – including a government-built wall that blocks off the end of the street housing the parliament – that have upped navigating Cairo by car or bus from "nightmare" to "nightmare+." President Mohamed Morsi, whose Muslim Brotherhood has become a target of protesters' ire, must be pleased that the average citizen's daily contact with the "revolution" is a bout of frustration, missed appointments, and delays getting to and from work.
There is, of course, some hope in all this. The revolutionaries interested in political change have moved far beyond the square, organizing in political parties or independent groups to push demands that the new Constitution be amended, or that military trials for civilians stop, or for a bigger voice in how Egypt is governed.
But the Tahrir of "The 18 Days," as many Egyptians refer to the uprising that ended Mubarak's reign, is long gone. Two days after Mubarak stepped down, I had already sensed the inevitable shift.
Last night, as I made my way through "liberated" Tahrir Square in Cairo, I was overcome by sadness.
There were signs of organized political actors muscling in on a popular movement whose unity was thanks in part to the beautiful simplicity of their demands. Give us freedom, rid us of Mubarak, let the Egyptian people tend to their own problems. By 10 last night, the first few cars had appeared in the square. Amid the sweeping up, the hugs and congratulations, It oddly felt like an era is over.
The new era can be a better one, but it's increasingly being fought in the often dirty world of politics – a world in which few of the Tahrir activists had any direct experience before the revolution. "We protested once, and it worked, so we protested again and again," says Mustafa Eid, a young Egyptian who has given up on public protests, at least for now. "We kept going back to the same method, but it stopped working. Average people don't see the point."

Even though it's August, and the mountain bike season is supposed to be winding down, I am still really, really excited about racing my bike! Usually once the Wilderness 101 is over, I am less than excited about racing. This year, I am trying to fit in as many races as I can before the season officially ends. Last week I could barely sleep from excitement thinking about the Hampshire 100.
On Friday, I drove to MA and stayed with Karen Potter (Mountain Bike Racing News) and her adorable pug, Bruschi. I have raced Karen in a fair few NUE races over the years. She is a super strong rider, and always had a talent for turning it on in the last few miles (often passing me!). She was great to race against and always had me riding scared! This year she is taking a break from the 100 milers, so it was great to catch up since I haven't seen her all year.
I raced Hampshire 100 last year, so I wasn't too stressed about pre-riding etc. The course is full of short, punchy and loose singletrack and doubletrack climbs. Some say it's akin to a really long cross-country race. I have been very happy on my Scalpel for the 100 milers this year, as the rear suspension allows me to climb singletrack using less energy, and relax more when descending than on a hard tail Little did I know just how essential that would be during this race.
Come Saturday, I took my sweet little time getting up to NH. I had arranged to stay in a cute farmhouse with Jukka, a colleague from work who won the masters race at W101. It was actually part of a working farm, where hoards of children were staying. We only had to go up to the main building (with all the children) for dinner, which was animal meat and veg from the farm. It was adorable. I really like New England. It feels familiar (like England perhaps?!), but also very foreign. Jukka (who is from Finland) thinks it looks like Scandinavia.
|Vicki and Jukka
When Sunday morning rolled around, I was still excited to get going, which is a good thing. For me, there is nothing worse than being on the start line, minutes before the gun goes off, and the "why am I here?" thought creeps across my mind (ok, this usually only happens at 'cross races!).
The race started pretty fast as usual, and I managed to hop on some fast wheels with a bunch of guys, including Jukka. Everything seemed to be going well, and I was comfortably sitting in first place, until about 25 miles in when I went to shift my rear derailleur; I was stuck in the hardest gear. Don't panic, right? I tried to manually move my chain up to an easier gear, and check to see if the derailleur was actually broken. It wasn't broken, but the cable had snapped. After pushing my bike up some of the steeper trails (and realizing exactly why the race is known for being un-singlespeeder friendly!), a very nice gentleman in a Hammer Nutrition kit, and singlespeeder Scott Green, stopped to help me loosen the bolt, move the gearing up a little, tighten the bolt again and tie away the loose cable. This worked for a little while, and at least I could power up most of the climbs.
I kept eating and drinking, knowing that I could easily blow up later in the race if I exerted too much energy, and didn't keep a check on my calorie consumption. I was taking on GU chomps and Elete electroltyes, with plenty water. This has been working really well for me this year, with little gastric distress during or after the race. I did start to feel a wee bit weary, however, just as Scott passed me again and commented that the gearing had slipped back to the hardest gear, uggg, no wonder my legs and back were screaming!
I stopped at the aid station around the 50-mile mark, and tried again to secure an easier gearing, but even the mechanic was struggling to get the chain to stick higher up. I usually spend <30 seconds at aid stations; today, I was off my bike, chatting with the spectators and actually ate half a banana! By this point I realized that I was fully committed to finishing the race with two gears: one really, really hard gear (big ring up the front), or one really hard (small ring up the front). Yes, two speed for 75 miles.
Once I settled into the rhythm of the bike and what I was dealing with for the day, I actually started having a lot of fun, challenging myself up climbs, and not being able to wuss out and spin at any point. Plus, it always helps when you are riding in first. Thom Parsons caught up to me in the singletrack towards the end of he 100K loop. He asked why I was riding my bike like a gorilla! His interview of me can be found here: http://dirtwire.tv/2013/08/h100-vicky-barclay-hiking-and-riding-her-bike-uphill-like-a-gorilla-2/
I know what your thinking, why didn't I replace my cable and housing before the race? Truthfully, it was replaced 3 weeks ago. I think it was just bad luck (and maybe I shouldn't have been so stubborn and ridden some of the mud bogs, and put strain on the derailleur/cable).
Thankfully I managed to hold on to first place, and was even more happy than usual to see the finish line. Congratulation to Liz Chabot Allen on a stellar 2nd place finish too!

What I find so fulfilling from racing this year, is the number of people that comment on how our Stan's Women's Elite Team are present at so many races, across the country. Sue mentioned this recently on the twittersphere, and I hear a lot of comments too from people like "you guys are everywhere!" Now that's cool!
I am hoping my burning enthusiasm keeps on burning towards Shenandoah in 2 weeks. Before that, I plan to race Mike Kuhn's, Stan's NoTubes sponsored, Rattlin' 50 event this Saturday in PA. The course is ubber technical (yes!), and the proceeds go towards developing PA trails. It doesn't get much better than that.
Thanks for reading!

Because of this deep enculturement when we (males especially) receive a slap it has a very profound and deep affect on us which is well over and above the actually pain. we expect to be punched in a fight and as such we are somewhat prepared for it (psychologically at least), but when we are slapped it is unexpected in a confrontation (esp between males), and it is contra to the situation, in stead of receiving the typical aggression tools we receive a tool that we associate to childhood punishment, we suddenly relive the embarrassment of being punished in public. and we are literally shocked more then if punched. when punched we are in the moment of the fight , thats normal for aggression, when slapped we are forced to attend to the psychological affect, it is incongruent with the situation and thus requires re-evaluation this is automatic and unavoidable (and often un noticed) the result is a moment of in activity as the system re-evaluates (similar to a freeze response).
Quote:Unlike the girly slap which is performed primarily by swinging the arm from the elbow and wrist hitting mainly with the fingers
Quote:the power slap is delivered with your entire body weight behind it. you hit with the entire palm of your hand it can be just as powerful as a hook punch and in some cases more so (the elbow is kept down in a slap as opposed horizontally with a hook). when done properly it is a very powerful strike and it is easier and more natural to do then many punches.
Quote:you don't have to be as accurate as you do with punches in fact if you can land with the base of your palm in the dribble line of the jaw (basically straight down to the jaw from the corner of your mouth) and have your hand extend along teh jay then you can virtually guarantee a KO (not that anything is a guarantee in self defence, but it is a high percent option).
Quote:From another point of view the slap looks better from a witness point of view. which sounds would sound worst for you a witness telling a cop that "he slapped him" or a witness telling a cop that "he punched him".
Quote:An added bonus, and this applies for most open hand techniques, is that you have more options after contact you can rake, scratch or gouge, grab or anchor, etc. unlike a punch which only really enables you to club them.

City Paper turned 35 this year,
which, besides giving us the urge to buy a sportscar and date younger people, gave us a chance to think about our history and our connection to the Great City of Baltimore. You'll see that reflected in this year's best Best of Baltimore issue, which includes Classic Clips-awards we clipped from Best of Baltimore issues past that show just how much our feelings have changed with regard to the Ravens, Dan Rodricks, and Hollywood, and haven't changed with regard to Michael Phelps, Club Charles' jukebox, and Dan Deacon. In leafing through all those back issues, we were relieved to find a certain continuity in what we've always loved about Baltimore: Its energy, its lack of pretense, its DIY aesthetic, and the perennial feeling that the best is yet to come. We champion those values again this year, in categories like Best Reason to Live in Baltimore, Best Festival, and
Best Foodie
, among many others. Heading into the next 35 years, we're betting we'll continue to find reasons to believe in Baltimore. And that the hottie who works at Rocket to Venus will dig our new Beemer.

With its collections of ancient, modern and contemporary art, the Musée de Grenoble offers you a chance to traverse the history of western painting from the 13th to the 20th centuries. Included are major masterpieces of classical Flemish, Dutch, Italian and Spanish painting; one of 20th century Europe's richest collections; and all the great post-1945 contemporary art trends, right up to the most recent artworks of the 2000s.
After spending his childhood in Rome, François Gérard was in Paris in 1782, where he studied drawing and painting. At the 1785 Salon, he enthusiastically discovered Le Serment des Horaces/The Oath of the Horatii, and joined David's studio the following year. Barely ten years later, he was already successful, and went on to become one of the great portrait painters of his day. Gérard was also a history painter, depicting, for the greater glory of the Emperor, the victory at Austerlitz on the ceiling of a reception in the Tuileries. Flora and Zephyr belongs to the tradition of great decorations carried out in private residences. In 1797, Gérard, along with five other artists, including Girodet, each painted a panel to decorate the reception room of Mr. Gaudin's mansion in Paris, on Rue du Mont-Blanc, where the interior architecture was entrusted to Charles Percier. The whole set of panels represents elegant, and even erotic, mythological themes, where flowers are a dominant decorative motif. Gérard painted this Flora who, immaterial and diaphanous, walks on the earth's surface, surrounded by a host of flowers in pastel and iridescent hues, which she sows as she passes, at the mercy of the wind. The supple lines, the colours with their subdued tones, and, even more so, the curly, tousled hair, the half-closed eyes and the ecstatic smile all express her pleasure beneath the caresses of the Wind.
In 1799, Gérard made a small original replica of this picture, in which Flora is shown no longer on the hemisphere but in a bucolic landscape setting.

Buying a Flat HDTV can be tricky to say the least. Do you pop for a plasma? Do you lock in on an LED? Do you need 3D? Should you have OLED? Is Ultra HD worth waiting for even if there is currently little to no content, no Blu-ray standard or broadcast standard? Its gets confusing.
Here's a list of the types of places you can buy your next HDTV from…
Brick and Mortar "Stereo Store"
Pro: These guys know their stuff and can help educate you on the right decision
Pro: They can help you install the set if needed.
Con: They can't price match with big box stores
Custom Installers
Pro: These guys also really know their stuff thanks to attending CEDIA and getting training
Pro: CI installers are the most engaged with the concept of video calibration.
Con: They like to charge retail price
Big Box Stores
Pros: They have every set on display.
Pros: They often will price match.
Con: Their salespeople are often undertrained
Con: Their "demo wall" of TVs are setup to trick you
Warehouse Stores
Pros: They often have the best price
Con: They don't even attempt to have a salesperson
Con: Their demos under the sodium lights are terrible
Con: They don't sell the best other gear for your system
Con: They don't have installation help if you need it.
Internet Retailers
Pro: They have a big selection.
Pro: They have low overhead which they share via lower prices
Pro: Many offer free shipping and or white glove installation where the plug everything in and take away the box.
Con: You don't see the product before you buy unless you "showroom" it s somewhere else.
Con: You might have to pay tax even if you buy it out of state.
Con: Forget them calibrating your HDTV. You need to find your own guy.
In the end, there are a TON of options to you when you buy your next flat HDTV. The more money you spend, the less grief you should expect. If you go the low-cost route – make sure you do your research first otherwise look to more traditional custom installation and brick and mortar options.

CULVER CITY (CBSLA.com) — A mysterious customer ordered 115 bottles of wine from a Culver City shop to be sent to Vatican City.
Michael Carpenter, the owner of Redd Collection, said he received a call on Tuesday morning from a man who asked if the wine shop carried hundreds of bottles of 2008 Varvaglione "Papale" Primitivo di Manduria.
Carpenter initially didn't think anything of the request—until he realized the call was coming from the Vatican and there are exactly 115 cardinals.
"They gave me credit card information and started reading off the address…and that's when it became very apparent that this was going to Vatican City," he said. "(The caller) never said, 'Please don't say anything, please be discreet.'"
Carpenter said the order was also unusual because people don't typically spend about $4,500 to ship wine to Europe.
"You rarely spend that much on wine…$20 a bottle. And then spend $20 on shipping to get it to Europe. And there's no card. No congratulations," he said.
Carpenter said the red Zinfandel, however, is no stranger to the Vatican.
"That region (of Puglia, Italy) was actually named because Pope Benedict XIII in the 18th Century bought lots of wine from that region," he said.
Carpenter believes the customer picked his shop because the Redd Collection comes up first on winesearcher.com, but he's honored by the purchase, nonetheless.
"It's a big moment in history…picking a new pope. So it's a good thing," he said.

By David Skaggs
Guest Commentary
Former House Speaker Tom Foley died last Friday, and it makes me very sad.
"Mr. Speaker" Foley was the last speaker of the House to preside over a civil institution whose members by and large respected each other even when, as frequent partisans, they disagreed about policy.
He was a speaker who led the House of Representatives as an officer, who may have been elected by members of one party — the Democrats — but who was always mindful that he represented the entire membership and was a trustee of the House's historic traditions of comity and national purpose.
Foley brought his colleagues together to craft consensus behind good legislation. He was happy to embrace a good proposal from President Ronald Reagan or President George H.W. Bush and to work things out with a kindred spirit in Republican Minority Leader Bob Michel.
He was a great story-teller, a sharp debater, a profound believer in our system of representative democracy, and a thoroughly decent and fair man. What a privilege it was to serve with him and under his leadership.
Now he is gone. His passing should occasion our serious reflection on what has become of American politics in the 19 years since he was defeated for re-election and, with typical grace, stepped down from the high office he held with such modesty.
After the weeks we've just lived through, it is especially poignant to consider the House of Representatives that Foley served in and led.
It is too bad that most Americans probably would not recognize his name, much less mourn him. Yet their exasperation with the state of our political life is a cry from the civic heart for some new Tom Foley or Bob Michel to arise and show us again how things are supposed to work.
My sentiments may be written off as the nostalgic yearning for the old days. They certainly were more productive days, when the needs of this great nation were better and more reliably served. While I'd ask to be forgiven for looking back, I hope we can take inspiration from Speaker Foley to turn around and look forward to a better day.
Under our constitutional system, negotiation and compromise by representatives in Congress is the only way to reconcile the many different interests of a diverse society and solve its problems. Our representatives have a larger and deeper responsibility than to reflexively channel the opinions of constituents.
Toward those opinions, they should be respectful, but not slavish adherents. The Constitution and the challenges of the times demand more. As does paying honor to the memory of the distinguished gentleman from Washington, Mr. Foley. A good and faithful servant, indeed.
David Skaggs is a former Democratic congressman from Colorado. He served in Congress from 1987 to 1999.

News Release
Nevada Firm Recalls Raw Pork Nugget Products Containing Wheat Due To Misbranding and Undeclared Allergens
Congressional and Public Affairs
Lauren Kotwicki
(202) 720-9113
WASHINGTON, June 26, 2014 – Mr. Wok Foods, a Las Vegas, Nev. establishment, is recalling approximately 14,760 pounds of raw pork nugget product because of misbranding and undeclared allergen. The product contains wheat, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product labels.
The product subject to recall includes:
- 10 lb. cases of "Battered, deep fried pork nugget" with packaging dates between JAN 25 2014 and JUN 25 2014
The product subject to recall bears "EST. 20783" inside the USDA mark of inspection on the labels. The raw pork nuggets were produced on various dates from January 25, 2014 through June 25, 2014. All products were distributed for use in hotels, restaurants and institutions in Las Vegas, Nev.
The problem was discovered by FSIS inspection personnel during a food safety assessment. After investigation, it was determined that the flour used in the products contained wheat. The mislabeling in the raw pork nugget product occurred due to a change in flour supplier. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
Consumers and media with questions about the recall should contact Spencer Chung, Owner, at 702-740-5824.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov or via smartphone at m.askkaren.gov. "Ask Karen" live chat services are available Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day.
|USDA Recall Classifications
|Class I
|This is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.
|Class II
|This is a health hazard situation where there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from the use of the product.
|Class III
|This is a situation where the use of the product will not cause adverse health consequences.

All you need to know is that they continue to explore numerous options for replacing Werth. They've done what one source described as "extensive" groundwork on a potential deal for the White Sox's Carlos Quentin. They remain interested in Jeff Francoeur to play against left-handers. And while they have mild interest in Jermaine Dye, that appears to be on just a back-burner, spring-training-invite level.
UPDATE: The Sox say they are not shopping Quentin:
On Wednesday ESPN.com Jayson Stark reported the White Sox and Philadelphia Phillies have been talking about a trade that would send Carlos Quentin to Philadelphia. A White Sox source told ESPNChicago.com that the Sox are not shopping Quentin at this time.
Well, Stark didn't claim that the Sox were shopping Quentin.

Arms of the Few Lyrics
Reaching hands - circling down I see it twist to nothing. Torn from what it meant. Cut from existence. My fingers bleed, but reaching hands are not weak. The light that once burned so bright, has now been cast a dismal grey. Fighting to keep the voice alive, I cannot let it end this way. I'm held - in the arms of the few! I walk in line with the sacred, never breaking my vow. I swear to you. A rise of commitment strong, a vision to which it belongs. Purity of the mind and body, to keep the resistance moving on.

Some of you may have watched me draw this next character live, and then again some of you didn't. Yesterday I learned for a second time that producers and directors plan on releasing a sequel to the very funny and entertaining Beetlejuice. Today I will be showing you "how to draw chibi Bettlejuice", step by step and I think you will be pleased with what I have for you. I go a lot of comments saying that the chibi version of Beetlejuice looks a lot like a Saiyan. That is probably due to the fact that the hair is yellow, and in that fiery style that we all recognize. As you can see by the finished drawing in the main thumbnail, chibi Beetlejuice is going to be easy to replicate. His head is big and his body is small. The hands are childlike and because of this you will definitely enjoy this lesson on drawing a chibi version of Beetlejuice. I have to go but I will return. Peace out people and enjoy.

You can't be scared of heights to participate in this new world record — Friday evening, 138 skydivers formed a synchronized snowflake design 18,500 feet in the air above Ottawa, Illinois.
The group of divers put the last record to shame — a formation with 108 divers in 2009, reports Time magazine.
Jumping from six planes, it took 15 attempts over three days for them to finally succeed. But before that, it had taken months of planning, tryouts and training.
Each attempt was carefully recorded and observed to decide which divers should stay and which should be swapped out for hopeful bench sitters.
Only 13 women were selected for the final feat, which Rook Nelson, organizer and owner of Skydive Chicago, claims is like doing a handstand at 7,000 feet. Easy, right?
Divers from France, Spain, Norway, Australia and more risked altitude sickness to be a part of the new record.
Three judges from the Federation Aeronautique Internationale confirmed the record when completed.
Who wants to start training for the next record?

NEWPORT BEACH & IRVINE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — February 17, 2014 — TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, announced today that researchers at the University of California, Irvine's (UCI's) Nanoscale Communication Integrated Circuits (NCIC) Labs presented results from the world's most sophisticated integrated circuit at W-band (75-110GHz) comprising a 9-element fully integrated direct-detection-based receiver (RX) array at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC). ISSCC is arguably the most prestigious IEEE technical forum ( http://www.isscc.org) and has been the largest technical forum where universities and high-tech companies present the latest advances in integrated circuits design. The fully integrated solution presented by NCIC was fabricated in TowerJazz's advanced 0.18 µm SiGe BiCMOS process.
W-band imaging systems have been traditionally designed and implemented in compound semiconductors since the early 1990's. These III-V imaging solutions are typically in the form of multi-chip modules. The imaging receiver chip designed by NCIC Labs and manufactured by TowerJazz is the most complex W-band imaging integrated circuit in the world with the lowest noise temperature and highest performance. The fully integrated receiver uses a new concept -- spatial-overlapping super-pixels -- for millimeter-wave (MMW) imaging applications that is used for concealed weapon detection, airplane navigation in low visibility conditions, and satellite surveillance.
The novel use of spatial-overlapping super-pixels results in: (1) improved signal-to-noise-ratio at the pixel level, (2) the same pixel density as a traditional focal plane array, (3) partially correlated adjacent super-pixels, (4) a 2×2 window averaging function in the RF domain, (5) the ability to compensate for the systematic phase delay and amplitude variations due to the off-focal-point effect for antennas away from the focal point, (6) the ability to compensate for mutual coupling effects among the array elements, and (7) signal processing capabilities in the RF domain.
The receiver chip achieves a peak measured coherent responsivity of 1,150MV/W, a measured incoherent responsivity of 1,000MV/W and a front-end 3-dB bandwidth from 87-108GHz, while consuming 225mW per receiver element. The measured NETD of the SiGe receiver chip is 0.45K with a 20ms integration time. Finally, the imaging chip achieves lowest noise equivalent power (NEP) ever reported for any imaging receiver at W-band. This record breaking performance means that if commercialized, this imaging chip will achieve the best image resolution among all commercial products for security/surveillance applications.
"Our continued collaboration with TowerJazz through the years to support NCIC Labs at UCI has resulted in the success of a number of significant projects such as the development of several imaging receivers at W-band and the design of the first dual-band radar-on-chip covering 22-29GHz and 77-81GHz. TowerJazz's dedicated support and its advanced technology enabled us to achieve silicon-based integrated circuits with comparable or better performance when compared to more expensive III-V technologies," said Prof. Payam Heydari, Full Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of California, Irvine. Besides the ISSCC 2013 presentation, this chip has been showcased as part of several invited talks including a keynote speech to the IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP 2013): http://www.ieeeglobalsip.org/sym/13/mmwis.
"The advanced circuit demonstrations by the Heydari group at UCI continue to impress. UCI's results stem from very clever design architectures and highly optimized circuit block designs. These building blocks have methodically evolved over the span of our tight collaboration, and harness our best process and manufacturing technologies," said Dr. David Howard, Executive Director and Fellow at TowerJazz.

The dream of any true beer connoisseur is to at some point brew your own beer, creating a flavor that comes from your imagination. Most of these dreams end with a beer kit that gathers dust, but Fireman's Brew turned their dream into a microbrewery sensation, as their three flavors are not only gaining notoriety in California, but they have also expanded into several more states recently. This fast and furious grown has propelled Fireman's Brew to announce that they are moving forward with a private offering of stock.
Fireman's Brew is not just a clever name, it was literally founded by two Los Angeles firefighters, Rob Nowaczyk and Ed Walker, who after extinguishing a brushfire in the local mountains, they wanted to create a premium line of handcrafted ales and lagers that would quench their thirsts after an exhausting day on the fire lines. After experimenting with several different flavors, the small batches started to garner requests from friends and from their Fireman's Brew was born. Today there are three versions of Fireman's Brew: Blonde (Pilsner-style Lager; 5% ABV), Brunette (German-style Doublebock; 8% ABV) and Redhead (Amber Ale ; 5.5% ABV). To make sure everyone has something to drink while they are on duty as well, Fireman's Brew has created coffee and root beer as well.
The Fireman's Brew Brunette quickly became a favorite among beer fans as this traditionally styled German Doublebock rolls in the imported hops and chocolate malts to give you a flavorful beer that leaves your taste buds with that hint of chocolate, giving you a really unique beer. The 8% alcohol content is not anunderstatement and you will really feel a kick after just one beer.
Fireman's Brew is also committed to giving back to the firefighter community upon which it was founded by donating a portion of company proceeds to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation -- the nation's
leading non-profit organization dedicated to honoring fallen firefighters and providing assistance to their surviving families. The Fireman's Brew collection of micro brewed beers are created using only the finest of all-natural ingredients to deliver bold, full-flavored traditional tastes and easy drinking refreshment.
Fireman's Brew recently expanded its distribution network for its award-winning beers into Arizona, Colorado, Illinois and Nebraska and is looking to continue adding markets in the near future. This is one beer that you will want to introduce your friends to and you will look like a beer genius for being the one to make this amazing discovery.
Fireman's Brew can be found all over Los Angeles, including at Dodger Stadium, but if you need a little help, you can click on the Brew-Finder and it will get you to the nearest location that carries Fireman's

Our fearless Robert Irwin might need to pass on some bravery tips to Channel 10's The Living Room hosts Amanda Keller and Barry Du Bois after their recent encounter with two pythons!
Robert and Terri joined Dr Chris Brown in offering Amanda and Barry the surprise gifts - a beautiful woma and black headed python. Amanda managed to hold the woma python, hesitantly stating she was "okay" - while Barry comically shrieked and hid behind the couch, clinging to Dr Chris!
Robert also brought along a koala and a Joey, which chef Miguel Maestre was lucky enough to steal a cuddle from. Maestre could not contain his laughter when Dr Chris tried to pass the black headed python to terrified Barry.
You can catch the full interview with Robert and Terri on The Living Room, where they will talk about Australia Zoo Wildlife Warrior's partnership with Sprout, this Friday 7th March at 7.30pm on Channel 10.

18-36 month
5 ½ - 8 ½
9- 2 ½
Contact me with any questions regarding sizes. What I ask is when you pay, please let me know the size you need.
Please use caution when young girls wear these socks, even though they are knotted several times, accidents can happen and we do not want that, do we??
I would recommend either hand washing the socks or put in a mesh bag. If you prefer to put them in with other clothes, it may be a good idea not to put them in the dryer because of the beads. Use your own judgment.

Abuja, June 15, 2012--Authorities in Ghana must investigate the assault on a journalist by police while covering a police raid in Ho, the capital of Ghana's Volta region, and bring the perpetrators to justice, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Victor Kwawukume, who reports for the state-owned Daily Graphic and is the regional chairman of the Ghana Journalists Association, was attacked by four unidentified police officers on June 10 as he covered a raid in Ho in which police arrested suspected criminals and drug peddlers, according to news reports. Kwawukume said he verbally identified himself as a journalist, but the officers attacked him, violently hitting him on the head and seizing his camera, the reports said.
Kwawukume told CPJ that the police beat him with their fists. He also said his camera was returned to him after he was forced to delete the pictures he had taken.
"We condemn the police's brutality on Victor Kwawukume and the seizure of his camera as he was doing his job," said CPJ Africa Advocacy Coordinator Mohamed Keita from New York. "We call on Ghanaian authorities to take swift action to hold the officers to account."
Cephas Arthur, a police spokesman, told CPJ he did not have details of the incident, but Yakubu Hamza, a commanding officer at the police department, told CPJ they had received a formal complaint but would not comment because it was an ongoing investigation. Ghana's information minister, Fritz Baffour, told CPJ that the government would be launching an investigation.
The Volta regional branch of the Ghana Journalists Association has petitioned the Regional Security Council, which includes representatives of the military and police, among other security agencies, to look into the case. Kwawukume told CPJ that the Association said that if the perpetrators were not brought to justice in two weeks, it would stop reporting on all police activities in the region.

LONDON– The irony was not lost on the Canadian Paralympic Committee.
Themost watched and most competitive Paralympic Games in history have wrapped upwith Canada leaving London following its worst showing ever.
Ifthese Games, which enjoyed an unprecedented spotlight in Great Britain, haveindeed marked a turning point in the movement for athletes with a disability,then Canada will need to hope its re-commitment to recruitment and awarenessbears some fruit if it wants to return to a prominent place in the medalspecking order.
Apositive final weekend – gold medals in cycling by visually-impaired RobbiWeldon and from the men's wheelchair basketball team, and a silver inwheelchair rugby – allowed Canada to bask in a bit of late patrioticflag-waving.
Butthe final medal tally fell well short of the admittedly ambitious,publicly-stated target – top eight in golds – and missed even the privatewhat-we-hope-will-happen numbers.
Canadawon just seven gold medals, down from 19 in Beijing and 38 only 12 years ago inSydney, and 31 total medals. That left the country in 20th placebased on gold medals and 13th in overall medals. Canada was seventhin gold medals at Beijing and had been top four in five of the seven Gamesbefore 2008.
"Whilewe're extremely proud of our athletes and our coaches, not reaching our targetis something we take very seriously," said Henry Storgaard, the CPC's chiefexecutive officer.
Withmore than 250 world records set at London, more specialization and morecountries than ever before bringing elite athletes, Paralympic competition hasgotten infinitely tougher over the last quadrennial.
"Justin the last year, (we've seen) how what was a world-record performance, a worldchampionship gold medal was being pushed even further that quickly," said RobNeedham, the CPC's executive director of sport. "It's amazing to see theincreased investment among our competitors and, frankly, just the talent anddedication of the athletes around the world.
"Whatwe saw in London was phenomenal."
Storgaardand Needham lamented the fact that only four per cent of Canadians with adisability are active in organized sport and recreation as opposed to 33 percent of the able-bodied population.
"Givenour relatively limited population size, it's even more critical that we beefficient," said Needham. "Certain other countries have tens of millions ofpeople with disabilities and can afford to throw numbes at the challenge,whereas we know if we're to be competitive and get back to where we want to bein the medal standings, we need to be reaching a vastly higher pecentage of ourpeople with disabilities.
China,with a reported 40 million people with a disability, was even more dominantthan it was in Beijing in 2008, earning 95 gold medals, nearly three times thatof second-place Russia, and 231 total medals.
"We'reall jealous of their program, their depth of field . . . and quite franklyscratching our heads at how do we address this incredible challenge from thetiger nation," said Storgaard. "We have to re-double our efforts and visit someof these top-performing countries to find out what is going on.
"Weknow (China) has regional and national training centres dedicated exclusivelyto Paralympic athletes."
So,too, do Russia (35 gold, 101 total medals) and the Ukraine (32, 83), both ofwhich also have schools dedicated solely for disabled children and youngadults.
ElizabethWalker-Young, Canada's assitant chef de mission, says that speaks to societalnorms that just don't exist in Canada.
"InCanada, people with disabilities are integrated into society at a fairly highlevel and some of our competitors who have made huge jumps in the past decadestill live in societies where kids go to segregated schools. You have asituation where they say 'we need this kind of athlete' and they go from there.It's a fine balance."
Asit did with the Olympics, London put on a 'bloody good,' Paralympic show,recreating all the excitement and interest despite a 2 1-2 week break betweenGames.
Ticketssales and television ratings set records in the country considered thebirthplace of the Games. British teenage sprinter Jonnie Peacock, who upsetParalympic icon Oscar Pistorius in the 100 metres for leg amputees, quadruplewheelchair track gold medalist David Weir and swimmer Ellie Simmonds weretreated as heroes on par with UK Olympic stars Bradley Wiggins, Mo Farrah andJessica Ennis.
Now,there are still issues that will keep the Paralympics in the considerableOlympic shadow.
Thenumber of classes required to take into account the myriad of physicaldifferences, particularly in track and swimming, can make it confusing for thepublic. And in some of those classes, the depth of field is thin and times ordistances thrown are simply too pedestrian to generate much excitement.
Butit shouldn't diminish the fact that the competitors are still the best at whatthey do. And some of the sprints on the track and in the pool and the play inwheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby was tight, dramatic and verycompelling.
Justabout the only negative note for the IPC was the glaring lack of interest fromits North American broadcast partners. CTV provided only late-night highlightpackages and NBC is showing only four one-hour highlight shows after the Gamesare over.
"Weall need to be able to bottle this somehow and spread that message [of publicinterest] and convince our broadcasters to cover the Games more than just anhour of highlights late at night," said Storgaard. "We're receiving email afteremail from Canadians who are very disappointed with the coverage. There's atremedous demand."
Bettercoverage, he said, will lead to more awareness.
"Fromthat awareness that public trust will build better programs and we'll be ableto attract more volunteers, more coaches and more athletes."
