Hi all i have just got back from morocco and have really got the bug for traveling and laning.
I have been looking in to a weeks trip to Normandy in France for a weeks laning around that area. I thought I would put the feelers out to see if anyone else would be interested in joining me. I have spoken to Scott and he is keen to go.
I am planning on going in September next year. I have done some maths regarding the trip to give you an idea of cost.
Ferry return for one truck and one person £90
Mileage from my house in worcestershire to the ferry and traveling to Normandy 450 miles. This would cost me two tanks of fuel to get there and get home. I would the budget for two further tanks of fuel for laning.
The other cost would be campsites and food.
The laning in Normandy is meant to be very good with lovely country side views.
Have a look on utube at 'Normandy laning France' and have a look.
Let me know if your interested or have any questions etc.....

Exhibition Overview
The warrior culture of samurai (literally "those who serve") is one of the most fascinating aspects of traditional Japan. Through sources such as James Clavell's 1975 novel Shōgun and the television series it inspired, and movies like the 1977 Star Wars, samurai were introduced to millions outside Japan, rapidly gaining a place of prominence in American popular culture. The spiritual beliefs, social practices and artistic aesthetics surrounding samurai have attained a universal status that is immediately familiar. Samurai have inspired everything from business strategies to video games.
At the same time, samurai have become increasingly separated from their original historical context, and often the general public is unaware of the extent to which their familiar cultural icons were influenced by traditional Japanese art. For example, how many people know that Darth Vader's helmet was inspired by a Japanese original? Lethal Beauty: Samurai Weapons and Armor is one of the most comprehensive exhibitions on samurai ever created. The dramatic installation of high-quality art looks at the complex role of samurai and the "way of the warrior" within classical Japanese society.
Comprising approximately 63 works by more than 30 master craftsmen from the 13th to 20th centuries, Lethal Beauty features full suits of armor, helmets, warrior hats, face masks, long and short swords, daggers, rifles, and more.
Lethal Beauty was curated by Dr. Andreas Marks, Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture, and tour organized by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC.
This exhibition is supported by a grant from the Freeman Foundation.
Additional support provided by Jean E. Rolles, Island Insurance, and Donald W.Y. & Laura Goo.

Pressed glass bowl from Tutbury Glass Co., RD 170914, 11 January 1864?
October 03, 2012, 06:18:31 PM »
This pedestal bowl was listed recently on eBay as a Percival Vickers stemmed bowl with indistinct lozenge (but thought to be about 1864/5).
I was intrigued as, although there were similarities to some of the Manchester glass registrations of that period (type of stem, frosting, star decoration), nothing quite fitted the bill for any of the known Manchester registrations. So last of the big spenders I acquired it for the grand sum of £2.20.
It stands 14.5cm tall, with a top rim diameter of 13.5cm. The bowl is frosted and the rim scalloped. The bowl is decorated with three horizontal rows of impressed, graduated, 8-pointed stars. The baluster stem and circular foot are clear, and the underside of the foot has an impressed 36-point star pattern. Registration lozenge off-centre from the polished bowl interior. The quality of the pressing is excellent, and the bowl has an a nice ring when struck.
To me the lozenge reads:
Class III (looks like lower case m instead of the standard III); year N (but written backwards) for 1864; day 11 (looks like lower case n); parcel 11 (looks like lower case n); month C for January.
If my interpretation of this rather strange lozenge is correct, then the only registration on 11 January 1864 was for RD 170914; the registrant the The Tutbury Glass Company, Tutbury, Staffordshire and London, and the registered parcel number is 11 (as expected).
This appears to be the first design registration for the Tutbury Glass Company. Their next 3 registrations from were a batch on February 28 1868 (RDs 217107-9). I cant see any more lozenge registrations, and I havent checked the 1884+ registration numbers.
A continuous presence in the glassmaking industry had existed in Tutbury since at
least 1810 with the establishment of works on the Ludgate Street and Burton Street
site. The earliest history of the site was associated with a glass cutting works - glass vessels were produced offsite in Birmingham and imported to be cut, patterned and finished, but by 1839-40, the site was making own glass. The Tutbury Glass Co., principally manufactured cut-glass, until 1880. By 1884 the business had been bought and reopened by Sir Tonman Mosley of Rolleston Hall, who retained the company name. The company at this time was predominantly involved in the production of jugs, tumblers and measures for the Burton brewery houses. In 1894 the works was leased to theTutbury Glass Co. Ltd., and in 1906 the lease was taken over by Thomas Webb &Corbett Ltd. of Wordsley, in Kingswinford, which bought the works in 1920.
Presuming that the piece is indeed by the Tutbury Glass Company, its the first I have seen, and probably the earliest definitively documented design from the glassworks.
Were there any other shapes bearing this [1864] lozenge?
Does anyone have images of any (or all) of the 1868 TGC registered designs to share?
Are there any other known pressed glass pieces attributed to the TGC?

'Tis certainly a strange one!
It does happen that the mouldmaker might have forgotten to inscribe some letters in mirror image. The information I have on Tutbury is that it was founded in the 1830s and the works were sold in 1880 so it certainly fits within the time period.
However, it does mention that only one design was registered and that was in 1864 for "a suite of table glass with multiple star pattern."

Hello Agincourt17
We have a small museum in Tutbury, run on a voluntary basis, and at present have a project to try and put together a documentary archive on the 200 year history of glass-making in the village. Our presently available evidence on the 19th century business is pretty thin. Your posting last October has just come to our attention and is obviously of interest. Can I add a bit more context, which might be relevant to the identification of the bowl you purchased:
The Tutbury Glass Company was started c1810 by a local man, Henry Jackson. Jackson died in 1849, and the business continued in the ownership of his wife and daughters for the next thirty years, but was run by a series of managers brought in from outside, mainly from the Stourbridge area. The most notable of these was John Thomas Haden Richardson, of the Richardson glass-making dynasty in Stourbridge. He came to Tutbury in 1863 as "managing partner" and appears to have been in charge of the factory through that decade (before setting up on his own account in the early 1870's in the neighbouring hamlet of Hatton as the Royal Castle Glass Works).
So the 1864 dating on the bowl design coincides closely with Richardson's arrival in the firm, and I imagine the registration would have come from his initiative. Do you you know if the design has any similarities to what was being produced by the Richardson firm in Stourbridge at the time? We were not previously aware of any pressed glass manufactured by the Tutbury Glass Company (though in later years this was probably the case at the Royal Castle Glass Works). Again, I wonder if the Stourbridge Richardsons were perhaps involved with pressed glass and JTHR brought the technique with him?
Kind regards
Tutbury Museum

Thank you for your informative reply.
The Richardson registered design representations for the period 1847-1914 are shown on pages 259-265 of Mervyn Gullivers Victorian Decorative Glass British Designs 1850-1914 (Schiffer Publishing Limited, USA, 2002; ISBN 0764315978). They are all for blown glass designs and seem to have little or no relationship to the design of my bowl.
The only Stourbridge glass works that produced pressed glass in a significant quantity was that of Joseph Webb of the Coalbourn Hill Glass works, who registered 15 designs between 1851 and 1885. Several of the Joseph Webb designs of the 1850s and 1860s were for pressed glass tableware, and were often part frosted, though they were very much in the general style of pressed glass tableware produced in Manchester by Molineaux, Webb & Co. and Percival, Vickers & Co. Ltd (who produced pieces with frosting and with clear star-decorations).
I will seek more information about the details of the 1864 and 1868 Tutbury design registrations (which should be the definitive source material) by adding them to the GMB RD look-up list.
If, indeed, the documentation indicates that my bowl is by the Tutbury Glass Company, then I will gladly donate it to the Museum (and will email you direct through GMB in the event). I also have the link for the Tutbury Glassworks research project at
Thank you for bringing the Royal Castle Glass Works to my attention. I see that the Tutbury Museum has some examples of their cut glass (obviously very accomplished work, as might be expected from the companys history and the links with the Stourbridge glass trade) do you have any evidence for pressed glass production on the site? If so, I would really appreciate any details.
The Museum is within reasonable expedition distance of the mid-Wales borders, so I have a feeling that a visit to the Museum may well be on the cards in the not-too-distant future.

I have to go out now, and if I've not read any of the foregoing I apologise for any errors........really rushing to get this onto the Board before I have to disappear.
I have taken the attached from my series of images relating to Kew's Board of Trade reference BT 43/61, which covers the period 1852 - 1870.............hope it is of some use - I can't see that I have any other images relating to 170914. If you wish to discuss further I will be available this evening. cheers, have to go

Thank you, Paul.
I don't think there is any doubt that the design representation shows that the star ornamentation matches that on my bowl, and that the putative attribution of RD 170174 to the bowl can be changed to a positive ID.
I am away on holiday very shortly, but my bowl will be on its way to the Tutbury Museum (probably by courier, viz., me) as soon as feasible after my return.
I would be delighted if you had any information on the three Tutbury Glass Company registrations in the batch of February 28 1868 (RDs 217107-109), otherwise I will add them to the GMB RD look-up list in due course.
So, just the 37 pages of the 1884+ registrations to check in Thompson for Tutbury Glass Company then..... Simples!

See the attached for 217107 - 109 .........can't now remember why this pic lacks wording - either it wasn't there or I've cropped the image too heavily. However, would imagine any text would be the same as 170914 - I can check when next I go to Kew, although unsure when that will be.
As for checking post 1884 for Tutbury - I get the feeling that Slack is a little easier on the eye..............Thompson's text appears visually more dense and more tiring on the eyes.
Have a good holiday, and don't buy too much glass.

Thank you again, Paul.
The registrations representations you've kindly provided are fine, and seem to be purely for the decorative ornamentation, (with no indication of any shapes) and at least it is now possible to compare the decoration on any putative Tutbury Glass Company pieces that come to light against the representations.
A trawl through Thompson hasn't produced any Tutbury registrations for 1884-1908, though I will repeat the exercise with Slack before finally abandoning all hope.
I think the chances of finding any more actual pieces of registered Tutbury pressed glass pieces are pretty remote, but probably still very much greater than winning a national Lottery jackpot, so here's hoping...
I look forward to seeing the Tutbury Museum's glass collection when I deliver my bowl to them.

Dear agincourt 17
Many thanks for your further investigations and your very generous offer to donate your bowl to our Museum. Thanks also to your fellow expert and enthusiast, Paul S.
A bit more background on our local industry might be of interest:
The Tutbury Glass Company flourished in the first half of the 19th century under Henry Jackson's entrepreneurship making, it would seem, decent quality cut hand-blown glass, which was marketed with aggressive pricing principally around the East Midlands cities of Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, as well as in London. The second half of the century saw a separation of management and ownership (firstly under Jackson's widow and daughters, and then after a brief closure in 1880 in the hands of the local squirearchy, the Oswald Mosleys (forefathers of the later fascist leader). I sense that the product range became more utilitarian in this period, probably with a captive market in the licensed trade network of the great brewing houses in nearby Burton (Bass, Ind Coope, Marstons, etc.).
Things moved on with the 1906 acquisition of the business by Thomas Webb & Corbett Ltd (later renamed Webb Corbett Ltd) of Stourbridge, which had been founded in 1897 by one branch of the Webb family. Under the direction initially of George Harry Corbett, then Walter Guest and his son Paul. for the next sixty years the factory flourished again, making high quality cut crystal, marketed worldwide and gaining an international reputation. It operated in tandem with the Webb Corbett HQ site at Coalburnhill, Stourbridge. The factory dominated our village in both physical and employment terms, with over 200 employees at its peak, and was the main contributor to Webb Corbett Ltd's profitability. As trade conditions worsened in the late 1960's, Webb Corbett Ltd was acquired by Royal Doulton. The Tutbury factory was closed by Doulton in 1980, followed by Stourbridge some years later. However, two groups of local employees resurrected the Tutbury business in 1981/2, trading as Tutbury Crystal Glass Ltd and Georgian Crystal Ltd - both prospered for a while, but finally and sadly closed in 2006 and 2011 respectively.
As I said before, I wasn't aware that the Tutbury factory ever produced anything other than hand-blown glass, before your discovery (certainly not in its Webb Corbett days). I will ask around some of the ex-employees to check that I am not mistaken.
As regards the nearby factory in Hatton, this was started in the 1860's initially by an ex Jackson glassmaker, William Alexander Sivewright (who had also been the National Secretary of the Trades Union, the Flint Glass Makers' Friendly Society), then taken forward by J T H Richardson as the Royal Castle Glass Works. It appears to have flourished in the latter decades of the 19th century. In 1880 they were advertising as "Manufacturers of all kinds of Flint, Emerald & Ruby Glass, Cut & Engraved, for Home and Export Trade". The factory shut just after the turn of the century, but was restarted in 1910 by George Harry Corbett, who had broken away from Thomas Webb & Corbett Ltd, and set up on his own as Corbett & Co Ltd, taking many of the skilled employees with him, it would seem. After considerable vicissitudes in the next ten years, the Hatton factory then closed again in the early 1920's. It re-opened yet again after WW2 trading as Trent Valley Glassworks, running to 1983 - throughout this period, as I understand it, production was all semi-automated and pressed glass.
You may have sensed from my notes that our research project is primarily focused on what one might call the "corporate" and "social" history of the local industry, rather than the technical aspects of glassmaking or indeed of the glass itself. So please excuse our ignorance in the areas that may be your own prime interest and enthusiasm. Nevertheless, we would be delighted to welcome you at any time to the museum. I must add that it is a very modest, "amateur" affair - one small document room, and one small room of artefacts, including a cabinet of assorted glassware that villagers have passed on to us over the years. I do not know if there is anything of particular significance, though we do have some pieces by two locally celebrated engravers from the Hatton factory in the early 1900's. Perhaps you might be able to enlighten us... Tutbury itself is a historic village, something of a tourist attraction on its own account, and hopefully might merit a trip from mid Wales.
We look forward to further contact from you after your return from holiday.
Kind regards
Tutbury Museum

Table Service: 5 Great Coffee Table Books About Coffee
Left unattended, the ubiquitous coffee table quickly becomes a gatekeeper of everything from last October's cable bill (you paid that, didn't you?) to the feet of undisciplined friends and family. We know you run a tighter ship than most and appreciate how a well-placed read can stimulate conversations faster than a triple shot. Here's a crop of coffee-themed books worthy of displacing Ansel Adams or your decades-long dedication to the Maxim Hot 100.

British Go Journal No. 62. July 1984. Page 18.
Guy Stevinson
Last year the South London club briefly acquired a new member, Guy Stevinson, whose work and inclinations have led him to spend much time in the Far East. However it is only recently that Guy, who was playing as a very approximate 6 kyu in our club, has settled in Japan. The following 'letter from Tokyo' describes his initial visit to a typical Japanese Go club.
I found the club with much less difficulty than I had experienced in eliciting its address from a selection of Japanese acquaintances. They had obviously considered Go unfashionable, a game for old fogies, and none of them had admitted personal knowledge of either how or where to play in Tokyo. The unusual is regarded with suspicion in Japan, and I seemed to fit the category: a gaijin (foreigner) with a whimsical desire to track down a Go parlour.
The club was only a few minutes walk from the underground station in Kobayacho, a shabby area of central Tokyo. I made my way up the narrow alley of ramshackle two storey houses towards it, took off my shoes at the entrance, and selected a pair of green artificial fur slippers. After scanning a number of neatly scripted notices which proclaimed (in Japanese) affiliation to the National Association of Go Clubs, the fact that the club was closed on the second and fourth Mondays of the month, and much else I couldn't decipher, I looked around for the action. This was clearly upstairs, since a glance at the ground floor of the little wooden building revealed only two lavatories and a kitchen.
Mounting a steep staircase ominously decorated with a fire warning poster, I arrived at a small dark landing, worked open a grubby sliding door, and confronted the surprised gaze of half a dozen Go players with a beaming smile. Japanese is a difficult language, and I had at that stage mastered at most ten words. Supplementing these with grunts, smiles and gestures, I made the acquaintance of Harada-san, the elderly woman who ran the Go club. She obviously considered that the advent of a Go-playing gaijin lent tone to her establishment, and made me welcome by procuring me a glass of hot green tea and an opponent.
The room was large by Japanese standards, about ten mats (180 sq. ft.), and was equipped with low tables and cheap metal and plastic chairs for five games, with dubious looking cushions on the floor for a further two boards. I sat down, noting that my opponent preferred to squat cross-legged on his chair, and negotiated a six-stone handicap for myself. Soon, politely if warily placed white stones wove a suffocating net around my less adroitly positioned black ones. After 20 minutes I conceded the game, secretly pleased that I had avoided making any elementary blunders; while I detected a slight air of relief about my victor. To have lost to a strange foreigner would have seriously diminished the face of one who now revealed himself as a fourth dan (Japanese reckoning).
I was then passed on to a succession of fresh opponents who drubbed me one after the other. I consoled myself with the thought that they were now only giving me four and five stone handicaps. All, that is, except a six Dan, who allowed me nine and then crushed me. However he did at least have the decency to praise the way I managed to live in three out of four corners.
Nearly everyone smoked heavily and the room grew stuffier. Nonetheless, in Japanese style it remained draughty and pretty chilly, the only heating an oil stove. One of the players, an obese man in his late fifties, kept his leather jacket on all the time. When playing me, he had a habit of sucking his breath in through his teeth from time to time, a sort of reverse hiss; disconcerting this, for I swiftly discovered it meant my last move was considered a poor one.
Even more disconcerting was the post-mortem which several players inflicted on me. Their explanations in Japanese of where I had gone wrong were less than easy to follow, and my repertoire of knowing grunts and acquiescent dips of the head was sorely overstretched. An influx of fresh players as the afternoon turned to evening provided a boost to morale in the shape of a balding woman in late middle age who, I was gratified to discover, was a weaker player than myself No matter that she was obviously the holder of the club's wooden spoon, or chopstick; for a change it was I who was giving a handicap.
Since I did not have to concentrate so hard on my games with her, I had time to examine the company more closely. They were, on the whole, a healthy change from the touchy, pretentious businessmen I had met so far in Tokyo. Apparently drawn largely from the ranks of the working classes, their clothes were mostly shoddy and ill-fitting, their attitudes humble and polite, as befitted the lower orders of a social system until recently feudal. My presence did not seem to arouse in these people the feelings of unease, inferiority and hostility which a foreigner often meets in Japan.
Ten o'clock struck, the hour at which the club reverted to its alternative role as home of Harada-san. I was pleased with my seven-hour Go session. Although it hardly qualified as rollicking entertainment, and victor's laurels were conspicuously absent from my brow, the club's low-key atmosphere had been appealing. The members placed their stones softly, kept physical movement to a minimum, and spoke in subdued tones when they spoke at oil; as a result, little tension was allowed to build up.
By and large the members had been unostentatiously friendly to the stranger in their midst. There was one exception, a fellow who had rejected Harada-san's suggestion of a game with the comment that he didn't go in for "Kokusai go" (international go, I think). But nearly everyone else had bent over backward to say something nice.
One chap, having whitewashed me completely, solved the rather tricky problem of finding something complimentary to say by praising my aggressive play. Far better, he indicated, to have a stab at winning, than to dourly stick to handicap stones, and simultaneously to have the opportunity of learning by my mistakes. If a Japanese puts his mind to casting about for a compliment, the odds are he'll find one (albeit back-handed) We got up to pay our 700 yen apiece (slightly over 2), and descended into the night snow, bowing copiously right, left and centre to each other. I noticed in the street that not one of the players appeared to possess a car, most of them making a beeline for the underground. And so we quietly went our different ways.

Picking winners, losers won't resurrect economy
President Obama talks a great deal about economic fairness in America. He did so on the campaign trail and he has continued to do so during the fiscal cliff debate. However his concern for equality has yet to spill over to the American energy industry. The Obama administration remains wedded to proposals that would significantly increase taxes on oil and gas companies. And these tax increases would only apply to this one industry.
So let�s get this straight. President Obama wants to raise taxes on American oil and gas companies despite the fact that the industry already pays the highest tax rates and already pays the most taxes in absolute terms. Not to mention the industry supports millions of American jobs and is responsible for adding $1 trillion to our economy.
It seems President Obama�s idea of fairness is Democratic politicians picking the winners and losers in our economy. This is evident by President Obama�s ongoing support of heavily subsidized �green� energy while concurrently supporting higher taxes on traditional energy companies. What America needs, instead of hand picking economic winners and losers, is an open dialogue about fundamental and effective tax reform. The goal for both Democrats and Republicans should be transforming the U.S. into a more competitive place for businesses.
Fundamental tax reform would help foster job growth and help resuscitate our failing economy. An honest attempt to fix our tax code would be welcomed here in North Carolina where we know all too well the realities of joblessness. The unemployment rate in our state remains above 9 percent and new opportunities remain in short supply. However, according to a report by research firm Wood Mackenzie, with the right policies North Carolina could see over 7,600 oil and gas industry jobs created by 2015.
So in the name of fairness, President Obama should reconsider his attacks on oil and gas, and instead initiate an open and honest debate about tax reform in 2013. Singling out an economically critical industry such as oil and gas, especially as our nation looks towards economic recovery, is unfair to the unemployed in North Carolina and across the country. And it is also unfair to the hundreds of millions of Americans that rely on affordable energy each day.

Redefining marriage would redefine society
In your editorial on Dec. 18, you said you hope the Supreme Court reverses laws that �discriminate� against same-sex marriage, calling such laws �state-sponsored discrimination.� And calling them that in spite of the fact that a majority of citizens in a majority of states have voted to uphold and protect the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman. You go on to infer that laws against same-sex marriage are against �individual freedom protected by the U.S. Constitution.� Marriage isn�t even addressed in the Constitution. And I�d wager same-sex unions never crossed our Framers� minds, or that the concept even existed in their intellectual universe.
But I digress. What I really want to say is that you miss the point of upholding the traditional legal definition of marriage. You say it is religious. I�ll grant that marriage certainly has religious significance; however, it spans across all major religions and cultures. Heterosexual marriage is an established institution that has stood the test of time. Its historical and cultural benefits of providing stability to society � especially children � are well documented, as well as its role in fiscal security. Next to your editorial, Kathleen Parker wrote an excellent column on marriage�s economic benefits.
Another common mistake is to consider marriage a universal �right�. It is not. It is an institution: One that is foundational to society; one that is often begun with a rite, but is rarely considered an entitlement. And one that typically has state-imposed limitations (try marrying your sister). There has to be a legal definition of marriage, or it becomes meaningless. If we discard the historical definition, who gets to redefine the legal term? And who decides its limits? What if my single friend wants to marry her darling kitty? What if a man tires of his wife and wants to forgo divorce and just marry another? What about the adult who wants to marry his 12-yr.-old neighbor? Who draws these lines, and on what basis? If anyone can define marriage, than what�s the point? And if there�s no point, why not just shack up? No one�s trying to stop anyone from entering into �partnership� contracts. But don�t undermine marriage by redefining it.
The ultimate goal of redefining marriage is not to grant so-called disenfranchised people a deserved right. Its purpose is two-fold: to weaken the foundation of our society and to validate homosexuality. The second has mostly been accomplished. The first will eventually destroy marriage and the historically-established family unit. You are correct that the homosexual rights movement has largely won-over this country�s minds, especially the gullible young, and may eventually prevail in sending our society off the deep end. It would be a sorrow for the Supreme Court to jump off that cliff and hasten the destruction of a vital societal foundation.

Election gave us more of what we don't need
First I would like to wish everyone a truly Merry Christmas. I am very disappointed with the results of our recent elections. What we got is more of what we really don�t need (more welfare, more legal moochers, more illegal aliens, more scandal, fewer people paying the bills of more and more people, paid abortion and birth control to be paid for by people who do not use it and don�t believe in it, gay marriage, but most of all, the turn in this country from our religious rights.) You would think that a country founded on religious freedom would do more to guard and preserve that freedom, especially as the season approaching is to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
What has happened to us that we are too scared or lethargic to fight for what is right? The very minorities that hold us captive are just that, minorities. I for one refuse to pretend that atheists, gays, welfare lazies, illegals and other minorities are more powerful that the majority of Americans. I am tired of being told that if I don�t back every sick or twisted idea, that I am racist, sexist, a homophobe, religious fanatic or out of touch with the times. The commandments do not change; the people have changed and they want us all with them.
Some people deserve all that they get and more. Our seniors have persevered through some really difficult and trying times, only to see our liberals telling them that what they have taught their children is a lie and not worth its weight, our military guards the rights of liberals who do not hold our values and our country dear, our disabled are not treated with the respect that illegals and gays are. We are not respected in the world anymore, because we give in to the very groups who bring us down.
I myself get a disability check each month, but I had to get cancer three times as well as having a heart attack, two blocked arteries, diabetes and high blood pressure to get it but my own pride dictates that I work what I can and try not to be a burden. If you really need help, it is our duty to help, but we are fostering an entire population of lazy, entitled and no-pride people. Pride in one�s self is wonderful.
The man from Grifton who did not think that our trillions of dollars in debt is a problem, can I please give him the shares that my five your grandchildren will have to carry? He obviously can afford the high price of gas and the increased insurance rates.
Time is getting shorter to take our country back. Even if you do not believe in the Bible you have to see that our country is going down. It is imperative that we take our country back from the liberals. Let us start by showing our unbending support to God and just the plain old citizens of the country. When you pass my house, you will se a white ribbon to show my support for God and His people. Get you one and show your support.

EMS did wonderful job, but service needs help
This is to thank the EMS people for what they did for my wife on Dec. 8 when she had her heart attack. These people did a wonderful job with what they have to work with. Another ambulance had to meet them on the way to New Bern as they did not have what they needed on the Jones County ambulance. EMS and Jones County law enforcement need to have what they need to do their jobs. I also would like to know what happened to my wife's slacks, underwear, her socks and shoes as they have not shown up yet and she would like to have them back. The house numbers in this county are the worst I have ever seen and everyone needs to have their number at the road as we do. If we had a decent county manager he would see that this is done or send him back to slopping the hogs where he was.

Big smile a big boost to confidence
I never realized the importance of a nice smile until I had mine finally completed just last week. Many people go their whole lives never smiling because of their teeth. Some may have crooked teeth, crowded teeth, or gaps which will cause an individual not to smile at any time. I have had that very same problem all of my life until just recently and that is because Dr. Courtney Mitchell.
I was never keen on the idea of braces, even though I realized how important they are, not by just getting ones teeth straight, but they will improve your teeth overall and make it so much easier to keep them clean. I needed braces when I was much younger and for whatever reason I just fell through the loopholes probably begging my parents not to make me get them. I heard all the horror stories from my friends on how you couldn�t eat certain foods, couldn�t eat candy, or chew gum. Why in the world would any kid want them right? Well after arguing with my wife for well over a year who works for Dr. Mitchell, they all finally convinced me to get braces, and it�s a decision I will never regret. Mind you I am 36 years old now and just got them taken off last week, but I can tell you they have been worth every trip to Dr. Mitchell�s office for adjustments, brackets getting moved, wires changed etc. I complained a little more than the average patient I�m sure, but that was just because I knew I could get away with it.
In closing, Dr. Mitchell�s staff was as pleasant and helpful as any I have ever been too. His professionalism and genuine desire to help improve my smile was heart felt, and he did everything in his power to get my teeth absolutely perfect and for that I am so thankful. I would just like to remind everyone to take time and realize just how important your teeth are. It took me 34 years to realize they could help me, and now at 36 my mouth is complete and has giving me the confidence that I have needed to SMILE and SMILE big without hesitation or embarrassment. Thank you Dr. Courtney Mitchell, thank you to my wife for pushing me so hard, and thank you to the entire staff for all you did.

Species In-Depth
At the Aquarium
These reptiles are no longer on exhibit. Information about Gila monsters is included in the Ocean Learning Center for use as a reference.
Geographic Distribution
Sonoran, Mojave, and Chihuahuan deserts including southwest Utah, southwest New Mexico, southern Nevada, the southeastern tip of California, and northern Mexico.
Gila monsters are most commonly found in desert lowlands and rocky mountain foothills, but on occasion may be found at altitudes of up to 1,500 m (5,000 ft). They prefer areas that are moist enough to support desert scrub shrubs, palos verde trees, and some cactus species, but will also frequent more arid sandy areas. They generally avoids cleared or open areas such as agricultural lands.
Physical Characteristics
This species is the largest of the lizards found in the United States. Contrary to the usual sleek forms of most lizards, the Gila monster is a stoutly built, plump animal with a thick tail, short but sturdy legs, and wide feet that end in five toes tipped with short, sharp, curved claws. Its head is large and roughly oval in shape and ends in a blunt nose.
The upper part of the body is covered with sturdy, bead-like scales that fit side by side rather than being overlapped like the scales of most lizards. The scales toward the belly transition to more plate-like structures. The basic background color is black with varied patterns of pink to orange to yellow. The nose, jaws, and eyes are dark in color.
Full- grown adults range in length from 46 to 61 cm (18 to 24 in) and may weigh up to 2.3 kg (5 lb) or more.
These animals are carnivores that feed on a variety of animals. Some of their favorite food items are eggs of and newly hatched ground nesting birds, snakes, lizards, and tortoises. They will also eat the very young of rodents and rabbits, some insects, and carrion.
Young Gila monsters are able to consume up to 50% of their body weight at one feeding and adults can eat up to 35% body weight at one time. They may be able to survive nicely on three to four full feedings a year. Resting metabolism rates are very low during extended periods of inactivity and large fat deposits stored in the tail and the bodies provide nourishment for extended periods.
Maturity is reached in 1-3 years depending on temperatures and availability of food supply. As the April to June breeding season approaches, males become more active and territorial. Dominance is exhibited by body lifting and head bobbing displays. Males may fight, sometimes for hours. Courting involves the male flicking his tongue, rubbing the female's neck, and touching her with his snout. Mating may take from 15 minutes to over two hours.
In mid to late summer, the female prepares a nest by digging a hole into which she deposits 2 to 13 leathery eggs. She does not incubate the eggs. They over-winter in the nest and hatch during the following spring. New hatchlings are about 12.7 cm (5 in) in length and look like miniature adults. There is no parental care and the independent hatchlings scatter within a few days.
Gila monsters are solitary and secretive animals and there is probably still much to be learned about them. They spend most of their time underground or hidden in rock cavities, abandoned animal burrows, or holes that they dig. They are diurnal but time out of their burrows is mostly in the morning and the evening, apparently to avoid high temperatures from the mid-day sun. They are seen above ground more often in the spring months, the time when their preferred food supplies are most readily available. They are also active then looking for breeding mates.
They are very sensitive to internal body temperatures and balance time between their cool dens and the warmer outside air to maintain acceptable levels. Moisture levels are also important to their health. They do not drink water, but receive necessary moisture from their food and prefer some humidity in the air of their dens.
These animals are generally non-aggressive, sluggish, and move slowly, but when threatened can move with surprising agility. They have a venomous bite. Their venom, essentially identical to that of a diamond back rattlesnake, is produced and stored in glands in the lower jaw. Unlike the rattlesnake that delivers its venom through fangs under pressure, the Gila monster delivers its venom through grooves in the lower teeth. The bite of a Gila monster is quick and very strong and detaching an annoyed animal is next to impossible. The wound receives small amounts of venom. Reports vary, but the consensus seems to be that Gila monster bites are not deadly, but are extremely painful.
Gila monsters are well adapted to what can be a very harsh desert environment. The heavy, bead-like scales on the upper part of the body protect them from the rocks, bushes, cactus and similar annoyances of their surroundings. The mix of bright colors and color patterns provide good camouflage and may even warn some would-be predators of a potentially dangerous prey.
Also aiding in their survival is their ability to eat very large meals and store energy in the form of fat, and their ability to regulate resting metabolic rates and body temperatures to minimize food requirements. Acute senses of sight, hearing, smell and taste assist them not only in finding food, but help them to avoid some dangers. Their predominantly underground existence, reported to be up to 98 percent of their lifetime, protects them from would-be predators.
Gila monsters may have a life span of 20 to 30 years. Specimens living in protected environments probably live longer than those in the wild.
There are no federal regulations protecting Gila monsters; however, Mexico and all states where they occur naturally (Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and California) protect these animals, requiring permits for their possession. California lists the banded Gila monster subspecies, H. suspectum cinctum, which is native to California, as a species of special concern. Private individuals are not given permits to keep the lizard. The are illegally captured for pets.
Probably the greatest danger to these animals is human encroachment and the loss of habitat due to the clearing of land for agricultural and residential purposes and the construction of roads.
The Gila monster is designated as Near Threatened in the IUCN Red List (2007). It is also listed in CITES – Appendix II, which regulates trade of certain species and animal products.
Special Notes
In 2005 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave final approval for the use of a new drug called Byetta™ for treatment of individuals with Type 2 diabetes. The active ingredient of the medication, called exendin-4, is a hormone fraction of Gila monster venom and acts on the digestive system to help regulate blood sugar levels. Fortunately for the Gila monsters researchers have been able to synthesize the material that occurs in a natural state in the animals.
Native Americans had mixed feelings about Gila monsters. Some believed that the animal could cause sickness. The Apache felt that the lizard could cause the death of a person it breathed on and yet other nations felt that its hide had curative powers.

The image, with Brian's saxophone beside him and a striking maroon backdrop, had text overlaid on the right page with information about a concert that Brian performed with his quintet at Middlebury's Town Hall Theater in February. The short text read, "Vermont saxman Brian McCarthy is the consummate working musician, and we do mean working. McCarthy's resume reads like a no-job-too-small general contractor of jazz: studio sideman, Burlington nightclub regular, educator at Vermont colleges and high schools, sheet music archivist and a bandleader in his own right, having recently released his second CD: This Just In. Recorded at Lane Gibson studios in Charlotte, the album is a … classic Blue-Note style jazz record that includes fellow Vermonter Ray Vega on trumpet, Justin Kauflin on piano, Evan Gregor on bass and Quinn Blandford on drums…" (March 2014)

Alan Paller is director of research for the SANS Institute, responsible for projects including the Internet Storm Center and the Top 10 Security Menaces.
On March 12, 2007, the CEO of one of the nation's largest defense contractors learned of a call from the Office of the Secretary of Defense informing his firm that the FBI had evidence that his company had allowed another nation to steal details of some sensitive technology that DOD had contracted to develop. There was no getting the data back. In a meeting at the Pentagon the next week, the executive learned he was not alone. Around the table were other defense contractor executives who had suffered similar breaches.
The meeting was among the catalysts for what has evolved into a change in thinking about information security in U.S. government and the defense industrial base. It includes more emphasis on actions proven to block known or expected attacks, as exemplified in the "20 Critical Security Controls" crafted earlier this year.
The changed thinking involves IT pros from CIO to developer, and is highly relevant to the private sector as well. A bank recently lost $10 million in less than 30 minutes to hackers who had replicated ATM cards and manipulated internal bank computers to increase limits on the amount each card holder could take in a day. The amount of money lost was limited only by the amount of money in the ATM machines that had been targeted.
Throughout most of this decade, the topic of cybersecurity rarely touched senior management, coming up only in the context of regulatory compliance. The problem has been that many of the steps taken to meet compliance requirements weren't geared to match the emerging threat. Rather than doing the tasks needed to ensure that systems were configured securely and that attacks were blocked or found quickly, organizations were forced to pay consultants to write lengthy compliance reports. The reports met the regulator's demands, and the CIO was told that his organization was in compliance. When the CIO learned that the company's systems had been penetrated and its data looted, surprise was a reasonable response.
The Big Questions
Three questions are usually asked following a cyberattack. The first two are:
- What do we need to do to fix this problem?
- How much is enough?
Any CIO will quickly discover security people don't agree on the answers. When outside experts are asked, their opinions also differ, leaving CIOs frustrated and asking the third question:
- Whom can I trust to answer the first two questions?
The CIOs of the major defense contractors and sensitive government sites faced exactly this uncertainty. They found a solution to this problem that may be of value to those who want to avoid those unwanted FBI calls. While the U.S. defense industry was discovering the extent of penetration into its systems, and thousands of other businesses were hearing from the FBI that they were victims, too, the U.S. intelligence community, the departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Energy, were leading a national effort to transform cybersecurity.
A theme that shaped the national makeover was that defense must be informed by offense. In other words, organizations should prioritize their security investments on actions that can be proven to block known or expected attacks, or that directly help identify and mitigate damage from attacks that get past the defense. This was a huge shift in thinking and in behavior. Its greatest impact was to change who was considered expert -- it answered question No. 3. In the past, consulting firms armed with checklists of questionable value were let loose to point out missing documentation or incomplete awareness programs.
Under the "offense informs defense" approach, the measures of effectiveness are defined by the people who know how attacks are carried out, and are more specific and more directly related to defenses against known attacks -- such as the speed with which unauthorized systems are identified and removed from the network. Other examples of the new practices include:
- Automated inventory so every connected system is known and monitored.
- Application software testing so that security flaws are removed from Web applications before they're posted.
- Secure configurations of systems and software deployed on the network.
In all cases, the practices include specific tests that can measure the effectiveness of the controls. Most of the new metrics are automated so that CIOs get continuous visibility into their organization-wide security effectiveness, rather than snapshots or compliance summaries. In short, common threats mean common defenses must be implemented first, and extensively automated to continually update.
Another critical change in thinking in government is recognition that, because of the widespread use of common computer and network technology (Windows, Unix, HTML, Secure Sockets Layer, SQL, and so on), all organizations face many of the same threats. Individual organizations may face additional threats, but unless they engineer their systems to withstand the common threats, even targeted attackers need not worry about specialized tactics -- attackers can just use the common attacks that work on any organization not fully prepared.
It's those common threats that make this security challenge a top priority for software development staff. The majority of current attacks exploit programming errors made by developers whose training never included finding and fixing security flaws. One of the most critical controls not in place in most organizations is a secure application training testing program. (Disclosure: SANS Institute operates the Internet Storm Center, the Internet's early-warning system; is a degree-granting institution; and provides training for security professionals and programmers.)
In federal agencies and leading defense industry organizations, these common threats are being countered through a three-part initiative:
- Establish a prioritized set of security controls that the community affirms will stop or mitigate known attacks.
- Use common tools to automate the controls, and even the measurement of the controls, that continuously monitor security.
- Create a dashboard for CIOs and senior managers to be able to monitor the status of security in their organizations.
Agreement On The 20 Most Critical Controls
Although many subdivisions of the U.S. Department of Defense, the civilian government, and various defense contractors have detailed knowledge of attacks that they have experienced, creating an effective national defense means pooling all that knowledge into a prioritized and up-todate list of critical security controls that represents the most current attack map available.
In February, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (csis.org) announced it had collated that attack knowledge across all relevant agencies and published a first draft of the "20 Critical Security Controls" (the list is at www.sans.org/cag). The controls were the consensus of organizations that understand offense -- including the National Security Agency, DOD Joint Task Force Computer-Global Network Operations, the DOD Cyber Crime Center, US-CERT at the Department of Homeland Security, and the nuclear energy research laboratories at the U.S. Department of Energy, plus top commercial forensics and penetrationtesting organizations. After public review involving more than 60 organizations, the 20 critical controls were published for government and private use. The U.S. State Department has already implemented software and hardware that automate monitoring of the 20 critical controls and is demonstrating how they can be monitored at every U.S. embassy around the world through a centralized dashboard.

The "M" in MShack is for Medure — the last name of brothers Matthew and David, who own high-end restaurants Matthews in San Marco and Medure in Ponte Vedra. In 2011, the siblings opened the fast-casual boutique burger spot in Atlantic Beach; a second MShack will open in St. Johns Town Center by the end of the year.
For minimalists there's the simple but tasty M Burger topped with melted American cheese, crisp lettuce, tomato, pickles and Shack Sauce. At $5.50, it is small but fresh — the Black Angus beef is 100 percent all-natural and ground in-house. For the uber-fancy, the specialty Medurable burger boasts savory foie gras and caramelized onions, carrying a hefty $18.95 price tag.
Even if you're not a burger lover, MShack's menu has an assortment of topped hot dogs, a grilled cheese sandwich (add applewood smoked bacon for an extra dollar), a fish sandwich, a marinated chicken breast sandwich and homemade Italian sausage topped with sautéed onions, peppers, mushrooms and melted provolone cheese.
Craving something healthy and pleasantly filling? Try the ginger-sesame dressed Super Kale Salad chock full of crisp diced apples, creamy cubes of avocado, shreds of carrots, onion, pecans and raisins. A fresh roasted beet salad comes with creamy goat cheese and raisins atop peppery arugula.
From the carb column, the house fries, queso-topped fries, sweet potato tots, truffle parmesean fries and even onion rings beg to be paired with your meaty burger or hot dog.
To complete the experience, a thick hand-spun milkshake is an absolute must. Available in small and large sizes, the pecan pie shake with chopped pecans reminded me of fall in a cup. Go simple — strawberry, vanilla or chocolate — or step it up with funky flavors like bananas foster, marshmallow brulee or peanut butter.
The separate relaxed bar area hosts happy hour 3:30-5:30 p.m. weekdays with $1 Pabst Blue Ribbon beers, $2 drafts or $3 glasses of house wine. Several craft beer are also on the menu.
MShack's beach proximity makes it perfect for pairing lunch or dinner with a stroll along the Atlantic Ocean.

Don't expect to hear much from Rick Perry this week.
Last week, the Texas governor was EVERYWHERE in Tampa, hobnobbing with the Texas delegation to the Republican National Convention, receiving honors as a hero of anti-abortion and small-business groups and appearing on every Fox News program there is.
This week, while Democrats gather in Charlotte, Perry and his wife Anita will be in Italy.
It's not a vacation, though. It's an overseas trade mission. Or so they say.
The Perrys' Sept. 4-12 trip is being paid for by TexasOne and the Ambrosetti Forum, an international economic development conference this week in Milan.
The governor's office stresses that "no tax dollars will be used for the Perry's travel and accommodations on this trip."
Texas Department of Public Safety security expenses? Well, we'll have to do a freedom-of-information request to tell you that.
While in Italy, the Perrys are scheduled to attend the 2012 Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix at the Monza Circuit.
The governor's office released a list of Italian political and business leaders that he will meet while in Italy, including Lombardy Governor Roberto Formigoni, Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo and M&G Polymers Chairman Vittorio Ghisolfi.
