Why Kyle Anderson is the kind of player college hoops rarely sees

Why Kyle Anderson is the kind of player college hoops rarely sees

Kyle Anderson's a point guard who is as multifaceted as any player in the game. (USATSI)

More NCAA hoops: Tournament bracket | Complete NCAAs coverage | Latest news

For UCLA to have a realistic chance at upsetting the No. 1 overall seed Florida Gators on Thursday night, it will need a unique player to have an MVP-worthy showing that he has been building to all season long.

Let's focus on that word, unique, for a minute. It gets tossed around entirely too liberally in sports these days. It has become a lazy descriptor for a player with a nice set of skills, perhaps some that are unalike to anyone else on said player's team. Truth is, uniqueness in modern sports, certainly college basketball, is mostly folkloric. There was an art and quirk to a lot of players in the 1950s, '60s, '70s and into the '80s, when the game was still growing out. Athletes were introducing new ways to excel and discovering never-before-seen skills that continued to advance the style of play.

But for most of the past three decades while college basketball has dwindled in overall quality, the sport has -- by natural advancement -- almost entirely eliminated players with a skill set that could be classified as peerless.

But Kyle Anderson is the irregularity. He is unique. He has no match in college basketball. Standing 6-feet-9 and playing point guard -- and doing it damn well -- he's the closest thing to Magic Johnson since Magic Johnson. No, he's not the next Magic Johnson, nor is he approaching Magic Johnson. But a player so tall, lengthy and commanding never gets trusted to run an offense in contemporary college hoops. Yet Anderson has, and you could easily make the argument he deserves mention on any first-team All-American list.

On KenPom.com, the possession-based player stats track and rank in 15 categories. Players whose stats fall in roughly the top 10 percent among all players in specific rankings are highlighted in yellow. Anderson's stat line is yellow in 11 out of the 15. Only a handful of players, no matter the season, can match that.

Anderson grew into playing the point because he was always the smallest kid on the court growing up. His ability allowed him to play an age or two or three -- or four -- up, so he would go with the bigger kids when he was 10, 11, 12 years old. Anderson finished top 10 in the Pac-12 this season in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals. He is so productive, and when you watch him, you'll wonder how he pulls it off. Anderson's game looks as though someone is seamelessly controlling his limbs remotely because of how leisurely he'll move with the ball. Elite players aren't supposed to cosmetically appear this casual.

"They call him 'Slo-Mo' because he really knows how to play,” teammate Jordan Adams said. "Every game it's a mismatch. We [Anderson's teammates] have freedom because of it."

Anderson got the nickname in eighth grade, when he was playing in an organized tournament with mostly 16-year-olds. It was their first game, in Queens. One of the coaches on the team saw Anderson's style and gave him the moniker. His play has never dictated ditching the nickname, and he embraces it.

"I think it's just craftiness," he said. "I've played 'up' my whole life. It's guys that are bigger, quicker, stronger than me. It's against guys with those size. Change of speed is big."

He thrives off adjusting pace and luring opponents into his space, almost like a boxer would. He'll dupe opponents into rhythms and body positions, then jerk with a bolt from the blue. It's not just about speed, but the angles. Even his dunks are surprising because there is no boost, there is no coil for propulsion.

Just watch this. It ends with the dunk, but the plays leading up to it are vintage Anderson. Who else looks like this?

Though Anderson played point guard throughout his high school and prep days, that changed under Ben Howland last season. Anderson is valuable and talented enough to play many positions. That's also what makes him distinct in D-I: He can efficiently play any position on the court. But assigning him to multiple roles never fully worked for UCLA's scheme. And the surprising thing about Anderson's bloom in his sophomore season: He was mentally prepared to do it again, even with new coach Steve Alford.

"I didn't come in to this year with a specific position that I wanted to play," Anderson said. "If he [Alford] wanted me to play the 4 this year, or the 3, that's what I would've done. But he let me know that he wants me to be the leader of this team. He doesn't like to label guys with positions. He knew he wanted to put the ball in my hands."

And he has flourished under Alford, who quickly made the decision to put Anderson at the 1 after he got the job in Westwood last spring. Anderson has been the navigator -- averaging 14.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 6.5 assists, shooting nearly 50 percent from 3 -- in getting UCLA to a No. 4 seed with a 28-8 record and a Pac-12 tournament title.

"I don't want to say our team was selfish last year, but I think this year our team is a little more unselfish," Anderson said. "Different coaches have different styles. Howland wanted to have more hands-on with what we're doing on offense. Where, this year, Alford is a little more loose and will let us handle it."

In terms of running the offense, Alford is still dictating a lot of what the team runs, calling out sets to Anderson, but there are times when Alford has let him guide the team and make the call on the floor. Alford recently said on the phone that he had never coached any player close to Anderson. Under Alford, all of Anderson's numbers have gone up.

"He slows the game down to his level and yet can see it in fast-paced mode," Alford said. "I think when teams play us, the most-asked question is, 'OK, with what and how do we match with Kyle Anderson?"

"Playing at one speed is a way a lot of guys get caught up," Anderson said. "I'm not that fast, but if I can change my speeds -- if you know how to change speeds it adds an element to your game. I don't read [the defender]; I like him to read me. I just like to go at him. He's not going to decide what I'm going to do. It's not something where I like to read defenders or how they like to guard or anything."

As with any point guard, the beauty lies in the method of distribution. Anderson's height, patience and strength have made for some stunning assists. He's prone to some turnovers due to his ambition getting the better of him, but the rewards for the risks he takes are often gorgeous.

"I truly think I have a gift. It was God-given ability," Anderson said. "I know with the guy who's cutting and know what he would want to do and where he'd want the ball to go. As soon as I see that window, I decide, Should I throw?"

UCLA has been, for the most part, better than people expected. Even in reaching the Sweet 16 -- something an Alford teams has not done since 1999 -- was a noteworthy achievement. Alford took over in April with six scholarship players, and no one quite knew what UCLA would be. The Bruins, who have either certain future pros and possible NBA-worthy guys up and down the roster, couldn't know until Alford

"We very easily could have come in here and had a losing season with a new coach," Adams said.

Because UCLA has plenty of help around Anderson -- seven players average 7.0 points or more, and nine are playing at least 16.5 minutes -- it has been vital to UCLA's run under Alford in his first season. The tempo, pushing the ball on very possession, has been a new identity for the Bruins and made them one of the best watches in college basketball.

"It's been an experience -- I didn't know what to expect," Anderson said.

Neither did we. Anderson's abnormal combination of size, mind and skill set was what made him so valuable during his recruitment. By returning to UCLA he has not only enhanced his pro potential, but also given Bruins fans a reason to believe Thursday night might not be the end of their team's season.

Chances he gives the college game one more year? His draft stock remains top-20 range, and he already bypassed the pros last year, so probably slim. That's the unending pleasure problem with college basketball. Normally, the most unusual players are the ones we don't get to see for long enough. Slo-Mo will be gone too fast.

Pacers-Heat Game 6: Where do the Pacers go from here?

Pacers-Heat Game 6: Where do the Pacers go from here?

By Matt Moore | NBA writer
The Pacers have nothing to be ashamed of about their season. (Getty Images)

You can be impressed with the Indiana Pacers' 2012 season and you'd be on target. You can be disappointed with the Indiana Pacers' 2012 season and you're not far off. If the Pacers' season was a coin flip, it would have landed on its edge. A good showing, a disappointing end, no magic to speak of, but nothing to be ashamed of.

Midwestern work ethic, reasonable results.

So where does Indiana go after losing in six games to the might Heat, without Chris Bosh, after being up 2-1 going into Game 4 at home? That's a trickier question.

More on Heat

The Pacers showed that the roster put together by Larry Bird can contend for the East, but winning it requires that singular talent that the Pacers were missing. That's an easy narrative to throw together, right? "Oh, they don't have a designated star, so they need that."

But it rings true after watching what LeBron James and Dwayne Wade did to the Pacers. The entire series was built on defense, with both sides grinding out wins through the first three games. But then in the fourth game, it became about talent, as Miami's Dwyane Wade and LeBron James just put in phenomenal performances knocking in shots in, over, and through contact.

And the Pacers just didn't have that. They had tough, gritty performances from both David West and Roy Hibbert, but never fed either one consistently. Danny Granger showed flashes, but never took the game over. The Spurs rely on a total team concept because they always look for the open man to knock down the right shot. The Pacers, though, kept looking to different options trying to find something consistent. And it just didn't come, especially after Miami adjusted to West and Hibbert by fronting and doubling, even without Chris Bosh.

The Pacers do retain all the pieces for next season, however. Granger, West, Darren Collison, and Paul George are all signed at reasonable prices (with the exception of maybe Granger, whose $13 million seems steep). But they will have to re-sign both George Hill and more importantly Roy Hibbert in restricted free agency. Hibbert in particular will likely draw a huge offer the Pacers will have to match.

But even then, they'll still have some room under the cap for improvements. Jeff Foster, Lou Amundson, and Leandro Barbosa come off the books, and they'll have options on a few other role players to toy with. Larry Bird will have his options. But that's just it. It may not be Larry Bird.

It's been widely discussed that this could finally be the year Bird walks away from the game for good, and six months ago, that would have seemed like a fine development. The Pacers have David Morway who has drawn high marks working under Bird and others, and former Portland GM Kevin Pritchard has worked as a consultant. But with Morway and Pritchard both under consideration for other openings, and Bird retiring, the Pacers could find themselves without management. And that would get bizarre, very quickly.

For now the team has to take solace that it had a good showing, that had the seedings worked out differently, they likely would have played in the Conference Finals, and that they have both a talented group of young players and some veterans who can show up and muscle up. But a championship? The're one player away. Unfortunately, that one player is Dwyane Wade.

“Iconographic tradition has theologically interpreted the manger and the swaddling cloths in terms of the theology of the Fathers. The child stiffly wrapped in bandages is seen as prefiguring the hour of his death: from the outset, he is the sacrificial victim, as we shall see more closely when we examine the reference to the first-born. The manger, then, was seen as a kind of altar.”
— Pope Benedict XVI (2012)

It Has Arrived! • “Proper of the Mass” (Ignatius)
published 7 April 2015 by Jeff Ostrowski

944 Weber Propers Missal Gradual VER A PERIOD of weeks, we’ve discussed the current system of replacing assigned Mass texts in the Ordinary Form, which violates liturgical law. 1 Priests wishing to allow their congregations to pray the actual prayers of the Mass have a solution in the Jogues Lectionary, the only pew book containing the full Vatican II propers in Latin & English.

But what about the music?

Many parishes use the Lalemant Propers (very simple); Simple English Propers (fairly simple); or Graduale Parvum (simple). 2 Yet, when it comes to Ordinary Form propers, we need as many options as possible, and a fantastic book appeared today:

    * *  PROPER OF THE MASS — 1,292 page book

I won’t reproduce the descriptions given there, but please notice that Fr. Weber’s book provides multiple settings for each chant. Below are audio samples demonstrating a “simpler” setting and a “complex” setting of the same Entrance chant. If you’re familiar with the ancient Latin version (“Judica Me”) you will notice that Fr. Weber’s version sounds quite similar:

                Simpler Setting:   YouTube   •   Mp3 File

                Complex Setting:   YouTube   •   Mp3 File

I ordered my copy today; when it arrives, I hope to write a comprehensive review of Fr. Weber’s masterpiece.

Lovely images of this book can now be viewed.

Andrew R. Motyka has posted a beautiful review of this book.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this new English Gradual to anyone who wants to sing the proper antiphons on a regular basis and is looking for very accessible, yet most beautiful chant in the vernacular. We cannot thank Fr. Samuel Weber enough for all his hard work, a true labor of love and dedication to liturgy and the Church. I am most confident that this new Gradual will become a standard work and hopefully find a home in many parishes.

—Dr. Horst Buchholz (Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis, MO)

GOP Veep Pick Paul Ryan vs. Rage Against the Machine: 10 Cases of Politicians’ Unrequited Love for Pop Stars (ANALYSIS)

What celebrities say about Mitt Romney's VP pick.
Eight things you didn't know about Romney's running mate.
Politically Active Celebs
These stars put their money where their mouth is.
Newly-minted Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan has been vocal about his love for the music of Rage Against the Machine. Alas, the affair is strictly one-sided. In an op-ed essay published Thursday at, Rage guitarist Tom Morello made clear that the band, known for its left-leaning lyrics, has little love for the right-wing Ryan or his running mate, Mitt Romney.

Morello wrote that he’s amused by Ryan’s fandom, since “he is the embodiment of the machine that our music has been raging against for two decades.” Wondering which Rage tune might be Ryan’s favorite, Morello wrote, “Is it the one where we condemn the genocide of Native Americans? The one lambasting American imperialism? Our cover of ‘Fuck the Police’? Or is it the one where we call on the people to seize the means of production?” As for any rage in Ryan, Morello wrote that he sees only “A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment…. This unbridled rage against those who have the least is a cornerstone of the Romney-Ryan ticket.”

As Morello noted, the Rage-Ryan dispute is only the latest in a long line of politicians trying to co-opt a pop act’s cool factor, only to find that the musician or band wants no association with them. In fact, it’s not even the first such dispute this week; on Monday, the Romney campaign ran afoul of the Silversun Pickups for unauthorized use of the band’s song “Panic Switch.”

Which bands and singers have dissed the politicians who love their music?

As in the Silversun Pickups incident, a politician’s unrequited love for a musician’s work manifests itself in a song played at a campaign rally, followed by a cease-and-desist letter from the musician, outraged that a tune played without permission might be heard as an endorsement — or a missed chance to earn royalties.

Ronald Regan and Bruce Springsteen
The trend started in 1984, when President Ronald Reagan, running for re-electon, glommed onto Bruce Springsteen’s anthem “Born in the USA,” a chart-topping hit that year. Springsteen was miffed, suggesting that the Reagan campaign had picked the song for its (ironic) title and rousing music, without listening to the lyrics, about a bitter, desperate, jobless Vietnam veteran. (Not exactly the “Morning in America” message the campaign was trying to convey.) Rival Democratic candidate Walter Mondale seized on the controversy, saying that Bruce may have been born in the U.S.A., “but he wasn’t born yesterday” — marking the only time in Mondale’s public life that anyone remembers him telling a joke.

Bob Dole and Sam & Dave
In 1996, R&B legend Sam Moore objected to Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole’s use of the Sam & Dave classic “Soul Man” at campaign stops, where it had been rewritten as “Dole Man.” The Dole campaign pulled the tune after a threat of legal action. Moore was an equal opportunity objector; in 2008, he successfully urged Democrat Barack Obama’s campaign to stop using Sam & Dave’s “Hold On! I’m Coming.”

George W. Bush and Tom Petty
In 2000, Tom Petty threatened to sue the George W. Bush campaign for using “I Won’t Back Down.” The GOP campaigners backed down. Petty performed the song in Al Gore’s honor the night he backed down and conceded the election to Bush. Petty also threatened litigation in 2011 when Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann used his iconic tune “American Girl.”

Orleans and John McCain
John Hall
, of ’70s band Orleans, complained when Bush used the band’s familiar “Still the One” at campaign events in 2004. By 2008, Hall had been elected as a Democratic Congressman from New York when Republican presidential candidate John McCain started using the song. Hall got him to yank it.

John McCain and Van Halen, John Mellencamp, Foo Fighters and Jackson Browne
In fact, McCain was a serial offender when it came to using songs without permission. Among those who objected were Van Halen (over the song “Right Now”) John Mellencamp (the songs “Our Country” and “Little Pink Houses,” which he’d licensed to Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards), Foo Fighters (“My Hero,” another song whose bitter lyrics the candidate apparently overlooked) and Jackson Browne (who sued for $75,000 over the use of “Running on Empty” and eventually won a settlement).

Sarah Palin and Heart
McCain’s running mate, Sarah Palin, made use of Heart’s classic-rock track “Barracuda,” since that was her high school nickname. The core of Heart, sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, complained, but Palin kept using the song. “I feel completely fucked over,” said guitarist Nancy. Singer Ann issued a statement saying, “Sarah Palin’s views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women.”

Mike Huckabee and Boston
Also in 2008, Boston guitarist/songwriter Tom Scholz complained about Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee’s use of “More Than a Feeling,” a song that the bass-playing Arkansas governor would perform with his band, the Capitol Offenders. Barry Goudreau, the Boston guitarist who’d left the band in the 1980s amid a bitter legal battle with Scholz, would sometimes sit in with the Offenders.

Other spats: Aerosmith slapped down Virginia GOP Congressman Eric Cantor for his use of “Back in the Saddle” as an anthem for Tea Party Republicans in 2009. In 2010, Don Henley got California Republican Senate candidate Chuck DeVore to stop using parody versions of his “The Boys of Summer” and “All She Wants To Do Is Dance.” That same year, Henley’s Eagles bandmate, Joe Walsh, got the Illinois Republican Congressman who shares his name to stop sharing his song “Walk Away.” Also in 2010, power trio Rush got Senator Rand Paul to stop using its songs “Tom Sawyer” and “The Spirit of Radio.” Like the Canadian band, the Kentucky Republican is a big fan of novelist Ayn Rand and her Objectivist philosophy, but Rush’s lawyer said that the group’s objection was entirely about copyright infringement, not ideology.

The best 2010 songwriter smackdown came from Talking Heads’ David Byrne, who sued Florida Republican Senate candidate Charlie Crist over his unauthorized use of “Road to Nowhere.” Byrne won a settlement that included cash and a forced apology by Crist. On YouTube.

Watch Charlie Crist’s apology to Talking Heads here.

With this year’s presidential race heating up, so have the legal threats from aggrieved musicians. ’80s band Survivor took action against Republican candidate Newt Gingirch, complaining that he’d been using “Eye of the Tiger” without permission for at least three years. Cyndi Lauper complained about a Democratic National Committee ad with a negative message about Romney. She added that she was no supporter of Romney; she merely didn’t want her comforting song “True Colors” associated with such negativity. (The DNC yanked the ad.) And hip-hopper K’Naan called upon Romney to stop using his “Wavin’ Flag,” though he also offered the song to Obama, should the President want it.

The funniest or most pathetic (take your pick) case of unrequited love between a musician and a politician is the one revealed this summer, involving Bruce Springsteen and the governor of his home state, Chris Christie. The New Jersey leader has attended more than 120 Springsteen concerts and shouts along to all the lyrics, but despite all his attempts to set up an introduction, the Boss has declined to meet him. Perhaps the famously liberal songwriter wants to avoid another “Born in the USA” incident with a conservative politician, but Christie has insisted that they could find common ground. “We disagree on a lot less than he thinks,” the snubbed Republican said in a must-read article in The Atlantic about his one-sided man-crush. Sadly, a sitdown between the Boss and the Governor seems about as likely as one between Paul Ryan and Tom Morello. But oh, to be a fly on the wall if such a meeting ever did come to pass…

On the 2000 Census questionnaire, "race" and "Hispanic ethnicity" are listed as separate questions. A person of Hispanic ethnicity is anyone who identifies with that social group, and so can be of any race. This can make data on race and ethnicity difficult to interpret.

Race data is also difficult to compare from Census to Census because categories have changed over time. For example, the 2000 Census was the first to offer the category "Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander," and those people could have responded in a number of different ways in previous years.

The 2000 Census also marked the first time that respondents were allowed to select more than one racial category. On earlier Censuses, multiracial individuals were asked to choose a single racial category, or respond as "Some Other Race." For more information on the multiracial population in 2000, please see the multiracial profile.

ATI introduces FirePro V9800

Monday, September 13th, 2010 | Posted by Jim Thacker

ATI has launched its new top-of-the-range professional GPU. Featuring support for up to six monitors at once via the company’s Eyefinity technology, the FirePro V9800 can be seen in action (until tomorrow) at IBC in Amsterdam.

Users selected to comment for the purposes of the press launch span both sides of the DCC/CAD divide, with spokespeople for GPU rendering specialists StudioGPU and industrial design giant Dassault Systèmes offering their support.

PRESS RELEASE (Excerpts) – This week at IBC 2010 in Amsterdam, AMD (NYSE: AMD) is introducing the newest member of the ATI FirePro™ family, the ATI FirePro™ V9800 – the most powerful professional graphics card AMD has ever created, featuring support for up to six monitors with ATI Eyefinity technology.  (1) With the launch of the FirePro V9800, the FirePro family – which also includes the ATI FirePro™ V8800, ATI FirePro™ V7800, ATI FirePro™ V5800, ATI FirePro™ V4800 and ATI FirePro™ V3800 – will offer digital content creation (DCC), computer aided design (CAD) and visualization specialists advanced features and high performance at every price point.

“With today’s announcement of the ATI FirePro V9800, we are introducing the ultimate workstation graphics solution for the professional graphics industry. It offers users with demanding DCC and visualization requirements six monitor support on one GPU and a superior price-to-performance ratio,” said Janet Matsuda, senior director, Professional Graphics, AMD. “The ATI FirePro V9800 will be the professional graphics solution of choice for users requiring exceptional performance and flexibility.”

“We’ve tested it and without doubt, the FirePro V9800 is fast, very fast,” said Dr. Johannes Friebe, sales director at Schneider Digital. “Just one card can hold the complete graphic data in only one frame buffer and allows us to drive six monitors without the need for a sync card.”

“The ability to drive six display outputs simultaneously and achieve such a large image on a very high resolution display is a great step forward for engineering collaboration,” said Jerome Maillot, senior manager, Dassault Systèmes. “Sharing a 3D model at full scale and achieving a significant cost reduction at the same time sounds like a dream, yet it is a reality. It is clear that the ATI FirePro™ V9800 professional graphics card has delivered the high level of technology that Dassault Systèmes has come to expect.”

“Onboard GPU memory is critical for advanced visualization and is an area where the V9800 excels,” says Yoni Koenig, chief scientist, StudioGPU. “MachStudio Pro software uses this memory to deliver the real-time cinematic-quality results 3D artists demand. Add together the 4 GB of memory and the native support for up to six monitors with ATI Eyefinity technology, and the combination of the V9800 and MachStudio Pro provides artists with the tools they need to effortlessly produce a visual feast.”

ATI FirePro V9800 truly showcases the advanced performance and high-end features available to users of FirePro™ professional graphics products in this generation. With an estimated retail price of $3,499 USD, the ATI FirePro V9800 offers unparalleled performance for the price.

  • ATI Eyefinity Technology: With six Mini DisplayPort outputs, the ATI FirePro™ V9800 allows for seamless, plug-and-play multi-monitor use – the first professional graphics solution to offer six independent monitor outputs from a single graphics card. Ideal for users who want to maximize their work environment for increased productivity, ATI Eyefinity technology can provide an expansive desktop resolution of up to 5760 x 2160 to enable more efficient multitasking and improve visualization applications. (1)
  • 4GB GDDR5 Memory: Featuring the largest shipping frame buffer available from AMD in any consumer or professional graphics product, 4GB of GDDR5 memory offers industry leading performance and unmatched visual quality. This feature will be particularly valuable for customers in industries with large volume data sets, such as medical and oil & gas, and in animation and compositing.
  • Breakthrough Performance: The ATI FirePro™ V9800 features significant performance increases over the previous generation of FirePro products, including 1.25x increased compute stream processor performance, and an increase of 2.27x in single- and double-precision performance. The ATI FirePro V9800 is optimized for stream calculations with full support for OpenCL™, DirectCompute, and DirectX® 11.
  • Real World Performance: Partners have shared with AMD their experiences with the ATI FirePro V9800, and have noted that the V9800 can result in improved performance in 3D rendering software, animation and compositing and the realization of large-scale video walls and high-definition multi-screen operation. Powered by 1,600 stream processors – the industry’s highest number – the ATI FirePro V9800 is ideal for computationally or visually intensive applications.
  • 3D Stereo and Synchronization: Like the other products in the ATI FirePro family, the ATI FirePro V9800 offers comprehensive support for stereo 3D capability, supporting active shutter glasses via the on-board 3-pin connector, as well as passive and auto-stereoscopic displays and projectors. Additionally, with support for the ATI FirePro S400 synchronization module, up to four ATI FirePro V9800 graphics cards can be synchronized (genlock, framelock), delivering up to 24 synchronized outputs from a single computer – a breakthrough in display density for demanding powerwall and video wall applications.

(1) ATI Eyefinity technology can support multiple displays using a single enabled ATI FirePro™ professional graphics card; the number of supported displays varies by card model. Microsoft® Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, or Linux® is required in order to support more than 2 displays. Depending on the card model, native DisplayPort™ connectors and/or certified DisplayPort™ active or passive adapters to convert your monitor’s native input to your card’s DisplayPort™ or Mini-DisplayPort™ connector(s) may be required. See for details.

WYCHERLEY MURDERS - Daughter and son-in-law guilty of double murder

editorial image
Have your say

The daughter and son-in-law of reclusive Forest Town couple Patricia and William Wycherley have been found guilty of their murders.

Christopher and Susan Edwards stood motionless in the dock as the verdict was announced shortly before lunchtime today.

The jury of eight women and four men were sent out at lunchtime yesterday and took just under six hours and twenty minutes to reach the guilty verdicts.

Susan (56) and Christopher Edwards (57) had claimed that Patricia Wycherley had murdered her elderly husband in a late night row in the back bedroom of their home, and had then been shot by Susan Edwards, who admitted manslaughter.

They Edwards claimed that Susan had then returned to London and brought her husband back to Mansfield the following weekend and told him of the deaths.

He had then agreed to help her dispose of the bodies and joined her in profiting in over £250,000 in benefits, pensions and savings over the next 15 years - finally fleeing to France when they realised the game was up.

But prosecutors said that the Edwards had concocted the plan together - travelling to Mansfield in May 1998 and shooting Patricia (63) and William (85) in cold blood, before burying them in the garden that same weekend.

They said that they were motivated by money and jointly set up new bank accounts, diverting cash out of accounts belonging to the Wycherleys and then closing them down.

Christopher Edwards had been a gun fanatic - regularly attending a shooting club in Earl’s Court, until handguns were banned following the Dunblane massacre in 1995. He also owned a ‘38mm revolver, which could have taken the bullets found with the Wycherleys’ skeletal remains.

Susan Edwards had claimed that she had been sexually abused by William Wycherley and killed her mother when she confessed to knowing about the abuse.

But police said there had been no evidence that any abuse had ever taken place.

In a statement released after the guilty verdicts, William’s nieces Hilary Rose and Christine Harford issued a joint statement.

It said: “We didn’t know William Geoffrey, our mother’s youngest brother, at all well. We have built a picture of him in our minds based on what she’d told us and photographs we had seen. Sadly, mum died in 2009. Had she been alive now, she would have been horrified by these brutal murders, and the callous treatment of the bodies afterwards.

“It would have been extremely upsetting for her to discover the deception and lies practised by her niece — our cousin — Susan and her husband Christopher against her and others for so long, for their own selfish greed and gain.

“We would like to thank everyone who helped to bring them to justice. In particular, we’d like to acknowledge the police, prosecution barristers, and the jury for their determination and hard work to get to the truth. Also, to the forensic and gun experts whose expertise helped to destroy their web of lies.

“We’d also like to offer a special thanks to the people at Victim Support, for supporting us before, through and after the trial. We had not heard of this charity before now but have learned first hand the important nature of their work.

“We are private people and have found it difficult to have our family thrust into the public eye in such a way. We have felt powerless throughout this terrible ordeal but, while we cannot change what has happened, there is one thing we can do — we can officially acknowledge William and Patricia’s deaths. Our main priority now is to see that they are finally laid to rest with dignity.”

The Wycherleys were described as a controlling and difficult couple - practically disowning their daughter when they didn’t approve of her choice of husband, moving away from London and forcing Susan Edwards to sign away her half share in the house she had bought with them in London.

Detective Chief Inspector Rob Griffin from the East Midlands Major Crime Unit, who lead the murder investigation, said: “Susan and Christopher Edwards had 15 years to come up with an account of what happen that night in May 1998. In their interviews they didn’t stray from a well rehearsed script, and even used the same words and turns of phrases. I wonder whether they had started to believe their own lies.

“The Edwards’ acted with cold calculation and meticulousness, killing and burying in an unmarked grave to be forgotten the people who raised Susan. They then spent the next 15 years exploiting and profiting from it.

“But we had questions. We scrutinised their every word and while we found fundamental elements of the story to be true there were inconsistencies in the detail. It was that detail which painted a very different picture, one that involved premeditated murder, likely driven by a long-harboured financial grudge and the opportunity to get themselves out of debt.

“I’d like to acknowledge the support we received from experts in archaeology and anthropology for this case, as well as thank the current owner and tenants of the house for their cooperation and patience throughout what has been an extremely unnerving experience for them and a somewhat unique investigation for us.”

“Their surviving family has been understandably stunned and upset by what has happened. I just hope they can take comfort in the knowledge that William and Patricia will now be officially and respectfully laid to rest.”

“When the Wycherleys sold the London house that was the start of the financial grudge, because Susan Edwards was essentially swindled out of her inheritance by her parents.

“William and Patricia then sold the house and pocketed the proceedings and then they moved to Mansfield.

“She has not only been swindled out of the £5,000 that she invested in the house, but she has been swindled out of the capital gain, and then her parents have moved away.

“Our case was that together, aggrieved by the money and because they were desperate, they realised that the easiest way of getting their hands on the money was to kill the Wycherleys.

“I think cold is a better word to describe them than evil - cold and calculating.

“To sit with your wife or husband and plan the murders of your parents or parents-in-law because you are in desperate need of money is cold and calculating.

“I don’t think either of them showed a single thread of remorse, and this is someone who has admitted to killing their own mother.

“With him, it was like he was describing moving items of furniture around the house - not the dead bodies of his in-laws.”

The Edwards then spent 15 years carefully crafting the myth that the Wycherleys were still alive - maintaining the garden and making the house look lived in, telling neighbours they had moved away or were travelling, and writing dozens of letters and cards to family members, either pretending to be William or Patricia, or writing on their behalf, explaining where they were and what they were up to.

Some were told in letters and cards as late as 2010 that the Wycherleys were travelling around Ireland, because the air there was good for William’s lungs.

But the truth was that the Edwards were terrible with money and were constantly in debt - spending most of the money they made from the murders on film memorabilia - with police recovering dozens of documents relating to the actor Gary Cooper and the entertainer Frank Sinatra in their possessions.

Prosecutor Peter Joyce told the jury at the start of the trial: “Over the next fifteen years and in order to continue stealing money and to keep up the pretence that the couple were still alive, they lied to family members, they lied to neighbours and they lied to financial institutions - they lied to everybody.”

Judge Mrs Justice Kathryn Thirlwall told the Edwards to expect life sentences.

The Edwards will be sentenced on Monday.

Chialat, now they think my blog is Khir Toyo blog

First, they mistaken my blog as the PM’s Warkah Untuk PM.

And now, they think my blog post promoting Khir Toyo’s new blog is the real Khir Toyo blog. (Comment #16)

Last I see, search for Chua Soi Lek blog also ended up in my blog.

I wonder if I will be having lots of personal friends’ and CSL wannabe confessions then?

I have put up a huge disclaimer that I am not responsible if Malaysians are blind and though not buta huruf, they are totally buta IT.

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

I LOVE Broccoli Cheddar Soup.  My mom made this soup all the time during the fall and winter seasons growing up, and now I make it for my family.  It is so delicious and comforting on a colder day!

and you can find the homemade bread bowl recipe here :)

    Broccoli Cheddar is my favorite go to soup. I can't wait to try your recipe out!

  14. Nicole

    I made the Broccoli Cheddar Soup today, and mine came out rather soupy. It is not thick by any means ! And not really cheesy. Any suggestions ??

  15. Tracie

    Best Broc & Cheese soup I have had and it was super easy to make!

  16. grace

    Do you have to use velveeta? Can I sub a different cheese? Just wondering - not a big velveeta person at all.

  17. Krista

    Broccoli cheese soup is my all time favorite soup, and Panera Bread makes it hard for anyone to complete. But I must say, this recipe has proved to be just as good as Panera's soup!! Thanks for sharing this incredible recipe-it made for a wonderful raining evening in your homemade bread bowls!

    1. ilvtony14

      Love Panera's and they add some shredded carrots and a little cauliflower. Which I will do with this recipe.

  18. Jane

    The broccoli soup was delicious! Tried the same base and added frozen hash browns instead of broccoli - it was a hit too.

  19. Veronica

    This was very good in homemade bread bowls. I made it with 12oz evaporated milk and 6.5 cups vegetable broth for the liquids (instead of the cream, water, and chicken broth). I also used 20 oz of fresh broccoli instead of the frozen. Thank you for the recipe!

  20. Vanessa

    Is there anything to substitute for the Velveeta? Would you just double the cheddar? Add a little extra milk?

  21. Catherine

    Does this freeze well??

  22. Linda Anderson

    sounds wonderful!!!!

  23. Crystal

    Can this is frozen and reheated?

  24. Emily @ A Very Sweet Life

    Any tips on substituting something else for Velveeta? I just can't bring myself to use that stuff but your soup looks so good!

  25. geni

    That sounds delicious! I love broccoli-cheddar soup. How many servings does this recipe make? Thanks.

  26. Vickie

    This looks yummy! Do you by chance have the recipe for the bread bowl too? I've been looking for a good bread bowl recipe. Thanks for sharing the soup.

    God's Blessings

  27. Marge DiFilippo

    You included the recipe for the soup but omitted what you put the soup in. It is not a bowl is it a loaf of bread that you made a hole in and put the soup in there and if so what kind of bread will hold the liquid soup without it oozing through.

    1. Kay-M

      I love the Rago Cheddar Sauce too, but to be totally honest - I don't think it is any better for you than using Velveeta :(

  29. Sherry

    Sounds delicious and easy. I cannot wait to make this a fall/wintery tradition with my family. What is heavy cream?

  30. DonnaMaree Austin

    What could you suggest to use instead of Velveeta cheese which is not available in my country

  31. christina whiting

    Do you have a recipe for the bread bowls I have never made homemade bread, but broc-cheese soup in a bread bowl is one of my favorite take-out lunches. Would love to be able to do it at home.

    1. Chef in Training

      Yes I do! Here is my recipe for Homemade Bread Bowls:

  32. Sher

    Has anyone tried this using a gluten free flour? If so, did it turn out good and what kind/brand of GF flour did you use? I want to make this for my Hubby, but he has to do gluten free because he has Celiac.

    1. Ann

      My grandson son has Celiacs and I use corn starch!

  33. Kelly

    What is the serving size for this recipe? I have a family of 7, 5 of them being boys. ;)

  34. Kristi Walker

    Made this today. Yummy!

    1. Kristi Walker

      I read about your husband. I am in the recovery stage of GBS.

  35. Randyellen Collier

    Where's the recipe for the bread bowl to serve it in?

  36. heidi

    Thank you for sharing Broccoli Cheddar Soup .. YUM :-)

  37. Tracy

    This was delicious. I added 2 bags of broccoli ( my daughter LOVES broccoli) used my potato masher to "mash" broccoli up a little. My tummy hurt so bad after eating because I ate so much, even had some for breakfast. Lol. Nice job on this one, will make again and again. :)

  38. Lacey

    I've tried so many broccoli cheese soup recipes, but my search is over!!!!! This is so easy to make, but tastes wonderful.

  39. kim

    I love your recipes, I just wish you had nutritional facts, serving size etc it is hard to break down, both my spouse and I are diabetics this would be good without the bread bowl, but it would nice with carb and calorie count

  40. leeann

    This is awesome! I made it for my family and made it again and took it to work on Christmas. I work in a busy emergency room and everyone loved it! I printed out recipe for my coworkers because they loved it so much!!

  41. leeann

    I have made this for my family and it is amazing!! I loved it so much I made it again two days later and took it to work with me. My coworkers loved it! I printed the recipe out for seven coworkers. I work in an emergency room and a lot of times we don't get a lunch on our 12 hour shifts. It's a huge hit this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

  42. J.Costa

    Very good soup. I always follow original recipe before or if I make changes, i'm glad for that because the velveta makes a wonderful silky texture & thickening agent. You do not taste velveta as the broccoli and sharp cheddar is at the forefront.
    I love having good basic recipes, I thank you for this one.
    Sourdough is one soup bowl that doesn't leak, but hard to find in some places.

  43. Linda Helms

    i teach a cooking class to young people (males and females) and i've used a few of your recipes - they love the simplicity and taste - this will be one of my demos for october. thank you!

  44. Dorothy

    Tell me about the bread bowl. Where did you buy those.

    Sounds yummy. I must try. Just courious about the bread

    1. Chef in Training

      here is my bread bowl recipe :)

  45. Kim

    Can I use cornstarch instead of flour?

  46. Karla Katz

    I love this! For a hearty, mid-winter's main course, add shredded turkey or chicken

  47. Audrey

    Can someone tell me how many servings this makes? Thanks

  48. Kitchen Kid

    Your recipe doesn't provide a serving yield. How many and what size servings does this recipe make?

  49. Nancy

    I made your Broccoli Cheddar soup a few nights ago when my son requested it. I went to your recipes after looking at a few others and, as usual, your recipe stood out to me. It took a little longer to thicken the base but was just right once the broccoli and cheese were added. After the broccoli had cooked a few minutes, I used my immersion blender to break up the broccoli and puree some of it. Then I added cheddar cheese and sharp cheddar rather than Velveeta. It was very good and was a big hit in our family!!

Dont know if you can still get, but I have not seen in a long time. Seems like today what I see is a lot of chicken stock coming out of a jar or a can or a box, with a few small chickens in the pot. I think they call it progress???

........they call it progress??? Progesso?
post #35 of 42
Ain't that the truth. Still, there is a place for convenience, however, quality, imo, suffers too much for convenience these days. In my area, it's easy to find the quality of birds needed to make good stock or broth, but the supermarket's generally not the place to go. There are one or two growers that raise reasonably good stock-worthy birds, but only the smaller, more upscale supermarkets carry them. The Safeway-type stores carry cr#p.

However, there are several very good poultry sellers in the area, and they can provide almost any kind and size bird you want, including birds with feet, necks, and heads. And there are plenty of Asian markets, Hispanic markets, and even Halal and Kosher markets where the choices are greater and better than the regular supermarkets. Surely places like that exist outside of the San Francisco area?
post #36 of 42
:cool: Florida is strange, it is the only place I have ever seen Frozen Bologna, Salami , Ham , frankfurters, sausage come in from a purveyor.
All Kosher birds here are Empire brand frozen, imported from Brooklyn.It is so hot here at different times of year I think they are afraid of not freezing everything.
One time I was working in a real high end country club down here. I had to make a White Pistou with Truffles. I had to have them flown in from Miami airport and picked up there..... A lot different then when I was in N.Y. :cool:
post #37 of 42
If your oriental supermarkets are like mine, they 'll sell you old birds. Head and feet on. They make fabulous stock.(long slow cooking) Alternatively i freeze carcasses when we're done with them after dinner and when i have 4 or 5 i use them.

At work we buy whole chickens, take what we need and stock the carcasses.

I have no problem bringing to the boil before simmering. We're not looking for consomme, we're after flavour and you skim the scum off anyway.

If i was making a casserole from scratch i would certainly use a free range, locally sourced bird. Anything else is truly a waste of time and desperately needs the addition of a stock cube.

The Turkish bay leaves are in many an opinion more fragrant. On older bird will give you a more full bodied stock, and yess you will have to go at least 4 hours at the simmer- a rolling boil will churn the albumen you want to scum off the top back into your stock and muddy it up.

Some things you just don't want to take a short cut on and it's also something you can walk away from and not have to monitor constantly.

As far as pulling out legs and crisping you can- but just broil the legs- by the time they are done in the broth and ready for eating you really will not have extracted much- but no harm done if you want to give it a go this way. :chef:

I don't know about that. There seem to be a handful of tough, old birds posting on the ChefTalk forums, for example.

Bay Leaves

Hmmm .... I "sort of" find that to be the case. The California Bay Laurel leaves I get are very fresh - the trees grow all around here and it's easy to just pluck a few leaves. They are very intensely flavored, to the point of almost being too intense and oily. Even the leaves purchased in the markets have that intensity .

Now the Turkish leaves are generally nowhere near as fresh - even the fresh ones are a little older than the local Bay Laurel leaves - and lack that intense aroma and flavor. But, imo, their flavor, while milder, is more rounded and deeper, and the leaves lend themselves better to cooking.

I've recently found a source for fresher Turkish leaves, and am excited about trying them. I've not yet purchased them. They are supposed to be "almost like picking them from the tree."

There's an anecdote that I came across that is worth mentioning:
"San Francisco chef Judy Rodgers recalls as a young cook
thinking, 'If one bay leaf is good, more are better.' She
doesn't remember how many she put in a duck braise, just
that 'When I pulled that puppy out of the oven at quarter to
6, it was terrible. You could not eat it. It was like biting into
an Excedrin.'

So for a bouquet garni for a braise or stew, as a rule,
Rodgers warns, one bay leaf will do."
post #41 of 42

I honestly have not compared them side by side- I had a bay tree living in CA and used it extensively, I have also used the dried Turkish. Many are of the opinion that the Turkish has a better flavor, and that's what I mentioned.

I found the results of the dishes or stocks using either to be fine. If I purposely did two exact dishes side by side with the two different types
it would be interesting to see the subleties. Again, the amount that one is using is usually very small. What have you found to be the case?

Many recipes will specifically state NOT CALIFORNIA BAY LEAVES.
post #42 of 42
I much prefer the deeper, more flavorful and subtle taste of the Turkish leaves, but it is important to get good ones. There are some sources that sell old and overly dry leaves, and they are pretty much worthless except, perhaps, as decorations. No value for cooking.

Whenever I write a recipe I specify which leaves to use. Invariably it's the Turkish leaf that finds its way into my dishes.

What we said then: "Dark, polished and just the right amount of soapy, "Revenge" promises something that many returning series doesn't even offer: years' worth of storytelling possibilities. The characters and betrayals presented in the first episode alone could keep "Revenge" vital for seasons to come and viewers equally invested ." What we say now: We were totally right. "Revenge" has turned ABC's Wednesday night into must-see-TV. Emily VanCamp's character borders on psychotic, but we still find her compelling and, yes, even sympathetic. The show has only improved, with new foils Tyler (Ashton Holmes) and the real Emily Thorne (Margarita Levieva) raising the stakes significantly. Still, since the pilot, Nolan (Gabriel Mann) has emerged as our unexpected favorite. He's in way over his head, and we love it. -- Carina Adly MacKenzie, Zap2it

China Air Travel

Last updated by fabiowzgogo at 2016/12/16

Jump of the air traffic: 800 million passengers expected in 2014 in the world, especially in China.

“China will be the biggest supplier of new travellers ", underlined The International Air Transport Association (IATA).” On 800 millions, 360 millions will result from the Asia-Pacific area, among which 214 million will be linked to China ".

Classic China Tours

In China, airline companies deliver a high quality of services principally in terms of reception and safety. Indeed, the majority of airports in China are particularly well equipped and very welcoming, and the Chinese air fleet possesses some of the best existing planes.

China should purchase more than 2,500 planes in the next years, what will bring to 4,500 the total number of civil planes in the country at the end of 2015, announced Li Jiaxiang, acting director of the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China, during the 2012 China Civil Aviation Development Forum, opened in Beijing on Wednesday, May 23, 2012.

Mr Li noted the fast growth of the civil aviation of China, describing it as being an industry still in “the dawn of its development ".

Tony Tyler director general of the International Air Transport Association indicated that the Chinese market of the aviation is and would remain immense. He plans that the number of the passengers by air in the world would increase by 877 million before 2015 with regard to year 2010, and that a quarter of the new passengers would come from China.

China transports is at present the 7th largest number of air passengers of the world, and the 4th largest number of goods.

The Chinese administration of the civil aviation (CAAC) opened about 1,000 domestic air connections linking 140 Chinese cities using Beijing as airport platform. There are also 130 international air links and 20 regional lines serving 60 cities in 40 different countries.

Every passenger is limited in the weight of his luggage; the limit is fixed to 40 kg in first class, 30 kg in business class and 20 kg in economic class. No additional luggage is allowed for the little children paying their seat 10 % cheaper than the adults.

Hand luggage cannot exceed 5 kg and/or surpass the dimension of 20x40x55 cm. Check in two pieces of luggage is authorized for first-class passengers, differing from the travellers in business class or in economy class who are limited to one luggage. Additional costs will be charged in case of additional luggage or non conformity to weight and/or measurement.

The air traffic of China is especially connected to the airports of Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG), Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport (SHA),  and Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN). They are, respectively, the hubs of Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines.

Beijing has the greatest flow of passengers annually; Shanghai has the 2nd largest amount of air traffic in China through its two airports combined.

Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport was the main international airport of Shanghai before the construction in 1999 of the international Airport of Shanghai-Pudong. Now, it’s the main domestic airport serving Shanghai, China, with limited international flights; only two international destinations: Seoul and Tokyo.

In spite of its relative short existence, the Hong Kong International Airport has already won numerous rewards in particular that of “Best airport ".

Among other major Chinese airports, we can point out: Nankin and Shenzen airport, Chengdu, Chongqing, Dalian, Hangzhou, Harbin, Hohhot, Kunming, Qingdao, Shenyang, Tianjin, Urumqi, Xiamen, and Xi’an.

China has plans to build almost 100 new airports by 2020 and one of them calculated for achievement in 2014, Nagqu Dagring Airport, may claim the title of highest airport in the world. It will sit at an altitude of 4,436 meters (about 14,553 feet, or about 2.75 miles above sea level) and so surpass Qamdo Bamda Airport.

China is also currently in the process of constructing the new Beijing Daxing International Airport -the name has not been made official yet-, which is scheduled to be finished and operational by 2015. It will become the country's biggest airport with nine runways and it will become the World's busiest airport by international passenger traffic surpassing London-Heathrow and will have more passengers than Atlanta, which is currently the world's busiest airport.

Civil aviation in China originated after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 with the establishment of the aviation authority and operator: General Administration of Civil Aviation of China. In 1987, China's government separated the airline operations of General Administration of Civil Aviation of China into six state-owned enterprises each named after the geographic region of the location of their headquarters and main operation areas:

Air China (which inherited the IATA and ICAO code of the original CAAC),
China Eastern Airlines (based in Shanghai),
China Southern Airlines (based in Guangzhou),
China Northwest Airlines (based in Xi'an),
China Northern Airlines (based in Shenyang)
China Southwest Airlines (based in Chengdu).

The regulatory role was retained by the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China which is now known as Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).

The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) is the aviation authority under the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China. In 2002, the government merged the nine biggest airline companies in three regional groups: Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines.

These three companies operate most of the international flights. There are however numerous regional companies which joined them by 2005 such as: Hainan Airlines, Shanghai Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Xiamen Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines and Sichuan Airlines. Together, these nine airline companies had a fleet of about 1 580 in 2010, mostly Boeing from the United States and Airbus from France.

In addition of regional airlines owned by the Chinese government, a privately owned, low cost airline makes its mark over Chinese sky: Spring Airlines, the Shanghai-based airline. Spring Airlines is the aviation subsidiary of Shanghai Spring International Travel Service. It is China's only low-cost airline.

Tips to smooth your air travel

When proceed to the check-in?

For a stress less departure, to reach the airport 3 hours before the departure is suggested.

Be careful, the check-in counters close one hour before the departure of the flights. After this deadline, you will not be accepted any more on board and you would risk losing your ticket.

How check-in?

To obtain their boarding pass, every passenger has to present an identifier (ID card or passport used at the time of the reservation) along with other document made necessary by the customs, administrative and sanitary regulations to enter and go out of the territory. (Check the formalities)

Luggage must be prepared according to the regulation in force and needs to:

- Be individually labelled inside and outside (your names, first names, telephone and permanent address must be clearly indicated).

- Be locked.

During the check-in and until the boarding, a quite particular attention will be carried to the not accompanied children and to the people with reduced mobility.

So that "great departures" do not rhyme any more with "rush hours", specialized staff helps you to register to embark and to land calmly.

To travel serenely

To move towards your flight peaceful, catch the day before your departure one good night of sleep and do not leave with an empty stomach. Choose a light but nutritious meal.

As to your clothes, prefer the comfort to the elegance. Ample clothes and shoes in which you feel at ease will ensure a more pleasant flight.

At high altitude, feet tend to swell. To avoid the heaviness’s in legs and feet, in particular on the long air travel, open or take away your shoes and make regularly slight movements:

-Do not stay in the same position for a long time especially if you cross your legs;

-While remaining seating, make some movements of rotation, flexions and extension of your ankles;

-Think of getting up regularly and walk a little bit, it is enough for toning up your blood circulation;

-And, if you suffer from circulatory problems, consult your habitual doctor who will prescribe you, if necessary, a preventive treatment.

If you are lucky to leave to the sun in winter, think of warm clothes for the return. The arrivals to the airport are often striking...

To more comfortable, plan ear plugs, anti-light mask, an inflatable headrest and a warm garment. On the long trips, to keep your toilet bag at hand, not without having removed the cutting sharp objects from it, is recommended. It is very pleasant to be able to refresh yourself during the journey.

Some advices to guarantee your security on board

At your arrival on board, tidy up your luggage in coffers planned for that purpose or under your seat to avoid the falls in case of turbulences.

Also switch off your mobile phone which provoke interferences with the equipments of navigation; the use of any portable electronic device is forbidden during the phases of takeoff and landing.

Coroner Fred

Excerpt from The Worst of Times, Chapter “Coroner Fred,” by Patricia G. Miller, HarperCollins Books, 1993.

In the coroner’s office, “the dead women we saw had either bled to death or they had died from overwhelming infections. Some had tears along the vaginal tract where they had used coat hangers to get up into the uterus and break things up—like rupture the amniotic sac.

Mostly, of course, I only saw the women after they were dead, but once I saw someone before she died. That was in the early sixties. It was a woman who worked in the hospital lab with me. She was a very nice person. I don’t know anything about her personal situation or why she wanted an abortion, but she had one, and she bled and bled. I remember she called in sick and told us that she had a bad cold. Finally she did come to the hospital, but it was really too late. She died just a few hours after she came in.

Probably the death rate wouldn’t have been so high if people had come to the hospital earlier, but the way it was, with the shame and the secrecy, they tended to stay at home as long as they could—sometimes too long, as it turned out.” “Most of the dead women I saw were in their teens or twenties.”

“The deaths stopped overnight in 1973, and I never saw another abortion death in all the eighteen years after that until I retired. That ought to tell people something about keeping abortion legal.”

Feedin' to impress (NoCoSD)

Jeters | Aug 30, 2007 05:16 PM

OK, I am in a bind here - I have a couple of ideas but could use some advice.

So my dad is finally coming down for a day this weekend, first time in a year and a half I have been able to get him to leave santa barbara and make the long drive to san diego. He is the kind of guy you have to make an appointment with to see, even if it's for breakfast, so this is a pretty rare occasion.
I managed to get him coming saturday mid-morning and leaving sunday afternoon, so that gives me about 24 hours to impress the heck out of him and really sell him on the north county san diego area--and convince him to pay for at least part of my wedding!

He is a foodie so I figure I'm going to take him to the Del Mar races on saturday and get a great dinner down there. I need somewhere really good, fun and not prohibitively expensive. I have a tentative reservation at Market, is there anywhere else I should look? The menu looks great and reviews are good, although I've never been.

Also, he is a total breakfast guy so a recc for a great brunch on sunday would be awesome. Anywhere good over in the Escondido area?

Thanks in advance!
