Heroin Addiction Takes Toll in Suburban New Jersey
By Join Together Staff | May 10, 2013 | Leave a comment | Filed in Community Related & Drugs
New Jersey officials report a rise in heroin addiction, drug-related crime and deaths among young people in suburbs. Many became addicted to prescription painkillers, and switched to heroin because it is cheaper, potent and widely available, according to The Record of Woodland Park.
The growth of heroin use among young people in the suburbs is being seen nationwide. According to the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the number of people who were past-year heroin users in 2011 (620,000) was higher than the number in 2007 (373,000).
New Jersey is a center of heroin use in part because of its ports and highways, which are conduits for South American heroin, the article notes. Heroin found on New Jersey streets today is at least five times more pure than it was several decades ago, law enforcement officials say. The increased potency leads to quicker addiction, they add.
"Heroin is much more commonplace than it's been in years," Ellen Elias, Director of the Center for Alcohol and Drug Resources in Hackensack, told the newspaper. "We see it all around. It seems like the population in which heroin is most prevalent is that 18- to 25-year-old population."
Police in Bergen County, in northern New Jersey, report increases in shoplifting, home invasions, burglaries and armed robberies, by people addicted to heroin who are seeking money to buy drugs.
Last week, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed into law a measure that encourages people to report drug overdoses. The law allows people to call 911 to report a drug overdose, without the fear of getting arrested for drug possession themselves.
Awareness=Prevention

Awareness is key in the fight against prescription drug abuse
By GWEN FLORIO Missoulian
MISSOULA — Allison McKenzie doesn't consider herself naïve.
When her sons were teenagers, she knew what to look out for.
The slurring and stumbles associated with booze. The reek of pot.
"I was on top of it," she said.
But when it came to prescription medication, "I had not a clue."
This is a good article:
McKenzie got a very expensive education — about $80,000 in treatment and rehabilitation since Thanksgiving for two of her sons, now in their 20s, to kick the methadone they were given at a clinic as part of their effort to get out from under opiate addiction.
Discussing her family's issues publicly is painful, said McKenzie. "But I can't not say anything because it's so horrific." Everybody, she said, needs to know about the danger of prescription medication.
Then she mentioned the Montana Meth Project.
"As soon as those commercials came on TV, they made a huge impact" on the problem, she said of the Meth Project's graphic and disturbing warnings about the effects of methamphetamine use.
In fact, talk for a few minutes with just about anyone who deals with the problem of prescription drug abuse, and the Meth Project comes up.
Why, wonder doctors and pharmacists and cops and even addicts, isn't there a similar effort that takes aim at prescription drugs?
"The best way to deal with this silent epidemic is public awareness," said Dr. Marc Mentel, medical director for the Community Physician Group at Missoula's Community Medical Center.
Mentel is at the forefront of the Community Safe Prescriber program, a prevention effort that requires physicians to sign contracts with patients for whom they prescribe opiates.
The contracts state that physicians will closely monitor those patients. "They'll have open discussions, letting (the patients) know that opiates are not a cure. They'll ask the patients to be responsible and treat these like a gun in the household," he said.
Physicians who sign on as Community Safe Prescribers receive stickers to place in their offices. "These are providers you can trust," Mentel said. "We also hope (the stickers) will deter those who are looking for medications" for illegal use.
Even with such precautions, he said, "these are very difficult for patients to wean off. I imagine it's similar to tobacco. Even six months to a year after (ceasing the medication)," he said, "it's almost like an itch they have to scratch."
The prescription drug abuse epidemic is rooted in the best of intentions.
In the late 1990s, physicians were urged — in the interest of their patients' quality of life – to monitor pain as a vital sign, Mentel said. On a scale of zero to 10, with 10 being unbearable pain, anything above 4 was considered undesirable, he said.
Opiates worked. Prescriptions have increased fivefold since the turn of the century, Mentel said.
"A green light was turned on. A Pandora's box was opened," he said.
Not only were more opiates prescribed, more were distributed, he said. "Fifty percent of those (legally prescribed) are handed out to other people," not necessarily with nefarious intent, he said. "It could be a family member saying, 'Here, you've got a headache?' "
The fact that the pills are prescribed to help people can create a false sense of security, he said. "There's this notion that they're safe … but they're probably the deadliest medications out there."
Only recently did the number of deaths — some 50 a day around the country — associated with opiate overdoses become apparent, he said.
"It's the collateral damage," he said, "the price of what we were trying to do."
In his four years as the Missoula Police Department's sole officer devoted to prescription drug abuse, Detective Dean Chrestenson said he's seen too many deaths and near-deaths.
Not all are due solely to the drugs. People combine them — intentionally or not — with alcohol, or they take a mixture of drugs. Caitlin Stanich of Missoula, who died in March at the age of 27, drank heavily and took methadone.
McKenzie feared a similar fate for her sons.
Methadone, dispensed at a Missoula clinic where her sons sought help for their prescription drug habit, turned into an even greater addiction, she said.
"Oh, God, it was hell. It was so hard dealing with them because they were so out of it constantly. I finally contacted several facilities last summer. I thought, 'I've got to do something.' I could tell the one wasn't going to be around very long," she said.
She found spots for them at a Michigan treatment center. Health insurance covered about two-thirds of the cost. Now they're in sober living centers in other states, and McKenzie realizes that their struggle is far from over.
"The rehab is just the beginning," she said. "The goal is to stay sober, get a job, be around sober people." The cost — between $600 and $800 a month in rent — is worth it, she said. "If they came back to their old stomping grounds, they could walk right back into the (methadone) clinic again."
When prevention fails, private rehab is one, albeit very expensive, option. Others include outpatient treatment, even the courts — and not infrequently, a combination of those.
"The solution has to be not just law enforcement, but the medical people, the prescribers, physicians, pharmacists, counselors, therapists, people themselves," said Chrestenson.
Around Montana, agencies and treatment centers are evolving quickly to deal with the issue.
Outpatient treatment options include individual counseling or group sessions. Inpatient centers around Montana are few and far between, and in high demand: All 16 beds at the Western Montana Mental Health Center's new Recovery Center Missoula were filled when it opened last month. Both Great Falls and Billings have long had inpatient centers.
Courts' role
Missoula County Justice of the Peace Karen Orzech, who often sees people when they're first charged with crimes involving prescription drugs, said such programs probably give addicts their best shot at success. Oftentimes, she said, it can take three or four months for an addict to really be ready, both physically and mentally, not just to get clean but to stay clean.
"It happens all the time in DUI court. The first, second, third months, they're fighting all the way," she said.
In fact, the court system can be a useful component of getting people clean.
A new tool aimed at drunken drivers — the 24/7 Sobriety and Accountability Program that requires twice-daily alcohol tests for some people convicted of DUI — can be adapted to the reality of drugged driving, Orzech said.
"We have a patch that people can be ordered to wear that tests for just about everything except alcohol," said Orzech. "There's also urinalysis that can happen, and blood tests, which are happening all the time."
Those blood tests are ordered for some DUI suspects who refuse breath tests. Unlike breath tests, they detect substances other than alcohol.
Involvement in the justice system can, of course, lead to the state Department of Corrections, with its own treatment programs. Five of the DOC's seven treatment programs target substance abuse as compared to two dealing with alcohol abuse. In the last six years, DOC programs that include drug and alcohol treatment increased 13 percent, even though the overall prison population declined 1 percent, according to the agency's biannual report released this year. The DOC has added 54 treatment and prerelease beds, according to the report.
Solutions can be as mundane as getting rid of unused opiates prescribed after, say, surgery or an injury. That keeps them from falling into the wrong hands. A surprising amount of drugs that go on to be abused, according to law enforcement officers, are simply snatched from the medicine cabinets of parents, friends and neighbors.
There is a prescription drug drop box at the Law Enforcement Center in Helena that is accessible Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The procedure is anonymous; participants just simply put the bottles into the box.
If you can't make it to the drop box but still want to get rid of medications, don't just flush them — that's bad for the water supply. Instead, throw them away after burying them in a bag filled with coffee grounds or kitty litter to keep them from being pilfered, said Chrestenson.
If you're still taking such medications, treat them as you would a loaded gun, advised Mentel, the physician.
It all comes back to awareness, said McKenzie, whose sons are in recovery.
"It's huge. Huge," she said. "… I don't think people (who use or abuse such medications) know where they are going to end up, most likely."
Prescription Take Back Day a Great Success this year!!

The best way to dispose of your old medications. As you will read
371 Tons of Rx Medicine Collected from DEA Take-Back Event on April 27
More than 742,000 pounds –371 tons – of prescription (Rx) medications were collected from members of the public at more than 5,800 locations throughout the country for the sixth Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)-facilitated National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on April 27. To date, all six DEA Take-Back events have generated the collection of more than 2.8 million pounds (1,409 tons) of Rx medicines, safely removing them from circulation.
According to recently released data from the 2012 Partnership Attitude Tracking Study (PATS), one in four teens (24 percent) reports having misused or abused an Rx drug at least once in their lifetime (up from 18 percent in 2008 to 24 percent in 2012), which translates to about 5 million teens. In addition, more than half of teens (56 percent) indicated that it's easy to get Rx drugs from their parent's medicine cabinet, and about half of parents (49 percent) say anyone can access their medicine cabinet.
Last Saturday's drug collection initiative was a collaboration between the DEA and state and local law enforcement. Americans were urged to empty their medicine cabinets, kitchen drawers and bedside tables of Rx drugs that were expired or no longer needed, and bring them to one of thousands of designated disposal sites around the nation to help prevent the abuse and misuse of medicine. Saturday's event collected 50 percent more pills than the previous one, demonstrating the need for a safe place where Americans can discard unwanted, unused or expired prescription drugs from their homes.

What kills one person every 19 minutes?

Guess What Kills One Person Every 19 Minutes?
Posted by Joshua Corn
Drugs Kill When it comes "how you're going to die," many people fear things like airplane crashes or shark attacks, even though statistics show that deaths from these events are very rare. Conversely, far too many people mistakenly believe that certain common aspects of everyday life are extremely safe — when, in reality, this is often far from the truth.
Once such daily ritual that is far more dangerous than many people believe is taking properly prescribed pharmaceutical drugs. Popping pills on a daily basis to "improve health" has become far too common for many Americans. In fact, according to the CDC, approximately 50% of all Americans take a pharmaceutical drug daily. When you isolate senior citizens, the number shoots up to an astonishing 90%. And perhaps even more troubling, 20% of children take a pharmaceutical drug.
At the same time, statistics are showing that deaths from pharmaceutical drugs are rising at an alarming rate. But don't take my word for it. Just google the term "pharmaceutical drugs kill" and you'll see headlines from major news organizations such as Fox and CNN that read:
"Prescription drugs 62,000 times more likely to kill …
"Prescription drugs kill 6200% more Americans …"
"Prescription Drugs Kill 300 Percent More Americans than Illegal Drugs…"
"Prescription drugs are now killing more people than traffic accidents…"
"Prescription Drug Deaths Skyrocket…"
"Prescription drugs kill one person every 19 minutes…"
"Prescription Drugs Now Kill More People Than Heroin And Cocaine Combined…"
Sadly, most people don't know that properly prescribed prescription drugs kill over 100,000 Americans each year. (This excludes prescription drug abuse, which causes this number to skyrocket even higher.) This is more than or equal to the number of people who die from accidents, Alzheimer's, influenza and diabetes!
Urban Outfitters must stop promoting RX abuse!
By editor 06 May, 2013 Uncategorized abuse, addiction, deaths, opiate, opiate addiction, overdose, prescription drugs, urban outfitters
Contact Urban Outfitters to Stop Selling Products that Promote Prescription Drug Abuse
Urban Outfitters, the national retail store popular with teens, is currently selling pint glasses, flasks and shot glasses made to look like prescription pill bottles. These products make light of prescription drug misuse and abuse, a dangerous behavior that is responsible for more deaths in the United States each year than heroin and cocaine combined. Medicine abuse has increased 33 percent over the past five years with one in four teens having misused or abused a prescription drug in their lifetime. Combined with alcohol, the misuse and abuse of prescription medications can be especially dangerous, making the Urban Outfitter Rx pint and shot glasses and flasks even more disturbing.
As recent research from The Partnership at Drugfree.org shows, teens and parents alike do not understand the health risks associated with the misuse and abuse of prescription drugs. In fact, more than a quarter of teens mistakenly believe that misusing and abusing prescription drugs is safer than using street drugs.
Tongue-in-cheek products that normalize and promote prescription drug abuse only serve to reinforce the misperception about the dangers associated with abusing medicine and put more teens at risk.
Ask Urban Outfitters to remove these products from their stores and website immediately.
Feel free to use the information above to help make your point.

Throughout the past year Titleist has introduced a fitting initiative with their Titleist Thursday events, where players can get fit for any of the company's current offerings. When it comes to driver fittings, they have narrowed the process down to what they call 30 in 30, which is essentially 30 swings in 30 minutes, in order to get proper configuration set to allow the 917 driver to be the ultimate performer and earn a spot in the bag.
To start off a fitting session, time is set aside to get to know the player and how their current equipment reacts. While that all sounds like an easy and simple process, it's a step that carries a lot more weight than one might realize.
If you are on the THP Mobile App, click on the button that says THP TV and you can watch this video right there. If you have not download the THP Mobile App as of yet, you can do so from iTunes here.
Join thousands of golfers in the THP Forum that are discussing this THP TV Original Series.
Wow what a great approach to fitting. I love the fact he said we are changing swings we are trying to match clubs to swings.
Very enjoyable content. The comprehensive nature of the TPI fitting described is mind blowing.?
I really want to go there and get fit for new irons. This is the best video I have seen yet on their fitting approach.
Great video and I liked the crime scene analogy. As others have mentioned the idea of matching club's to swing and not trying to change the swing is great!
Interesting that Titleist believes they can fit any player into either ball with driver, probably true for most players.
I like that overall process quite a bit and I don't think any player could come out the other side without improving something.
Really good interview Dean! Very informative and I really like their approach to fitting across the board. They're really doing it in a way to help people shoot lower scores.
This was an interesting discussion. We've got a Titleist performance center down on the south shore, and I've always wanted to get fit down there. But with the "streamlined" process they've got, the Titleist Thursdays they've started might be a great opportunity.
Great interview Dean and I really like the approach Titleist is taking with getting players fit for their equipment. The idea of taking time to inspect a current set up & then make recommendations from that requires their fitters to wear multiple hats like you mentioned.
That was a great interview and like Titleist's approach to a full bag fitting and to the ball.
Titleist rocks – the 917D2 is the best driver of 2017!!!!!
That was a very interesting and informative interview. Great job.
Pretty straight forward approach to fitting. Dean with some solid intuitive questions.
Fantastic video and interview Dean. I was fascinated how they approach a fitting as fitter and how they look at the bag and try to optimize it.
Also how they fit the ball to the iron and driver to the ball was interesting and I liked how they start from the green back.
I have always for my last 3 Titleist iron sets been to club fitting days. Titleist I find are very thorough and respect your thoughts of what you need. Great post thanks.

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (often called simply, the Seven Wonders of the World) is a list of man-made structures built during the classical era. Scholars believe that ancient historians began compiling the list in the second century B.C. The final list of the Seven Wonders that we currently reference was defined in the Middle Ages.
Noted for being the only surviving member of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid is the largest of the 3 pyramids built in the ancient city of Giza, now part of greater Cairo, Egypt. The pyramid is believed to have been built around 2560 B.C. as a tomb for the Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu, and likely took 20 years to construct. (Egyptologists argue over man-power numbers, and estimates have ranged from 14,000 to 360,000 men). When built, the pyramid measured nearly 480 feet high, with the sides each measuring about 755 feet long. In addition, each side is oriented with one of the cardinal points (north, south, east and west). Nearly 2.3 million blocks of stone, each weighing approximately 2 tons, comprise the pyramid. The pyramid remained the world's tallest building for 4 millennia after it was built.
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are said to have been built by Nebuchadnezzar II, a ruler of Babylon, around 600 B.C. Though historians often debate the actual existence of the gardens, because there's no physical evidence and Babylonian documents never mention them (Greek scholars first described the gardens), accounts state that the gardens consisted of vaulted terraces raised above one another and supported on pillars — in other words, an artificial rising mountain of gardens. The terraces were filled with dirt and planted with trees and flora, which were said to hang over the sides. The amazement over the gardens stems from what would have been an extraordinarily complicated irrigation system, which brought water from the Euphrates to the gardens in an otherwise arid environment. The gardens are thought to have been destroyed by an earthquake around the first century B.C.
Completed around 550 B.C. to honor the Greek goddess of hunting and nature, the Temple of Artemis was built during the Achaemenid Dynasty of the Persian Empire. Arson destroyed the temple in 356 B.C. The ancient author and philosopher Pliny described the temple as being 377 feet long and 180 feet wide (about 3 times the size of the Parthenon), with 127 Ionic columns measuring 60 feet high, and made solely of marble. Used as both a marketplace and a place of worship, the temple housed numerous works of art and sculpture.
This enormous statue honoring the god Zeus was built at the Temple of Zeus in Olympia around 450 B.C. Designed by the Greek sculptor Pheidias, the statue of a seated Zeus measured 40 feet tall and was carved from ivory with gold-plated accents. The statue depicts him seated on a cedar throne inlaid with jewels, holding a statue of Nike (goddess of victory) in his right hand and a scepter with an eagle on top in his left hand. Various theories exist to explain the statue's destruction. Some scholars believe that it was destroyed along with the temple in the fifth century. Others argue that the statue was brought to Constantinople, where it was destroyed in a fire in A.D. 462.
The tomb built to hold the remains of the Persian king Mausollos and his wife, Artemisia, was designed by the Greek architects Satyrus and Pythius and constructed around 353 B.C. on a hill overlooking the ancient city of Halicarnassus. The tomb stood 135 feet high, and its exterior was surrounded by an ornamental frieze. Numerous statues, bas-reliefs and columns decorated the exterior of the ornate and enormous tomb, and eventually the term "mausoleum" became used to describe any large and impressive tomb. Multiple earthquakes ultimately led to the destruction of the tomb in the 14th century.
The Colossus of Rhodes was actually an enormous, looming 100-foot tall statue of the Greek god Helios, built on the island of Rhodes around 280 B.C. The statue was erected to commemorate the island's patron god, Helios, after Rhodes successfully defended itself in 304 B.C. from an invasion. Scholars believe that the statue stood either on a pedestal at the entrance to the island's harbor or on a breakwater in the harbor. An earthquake destroyed the statue in 226 B.C., a mere 54 years after its construction.
Scholars estimate the Lighthouse of Alexandria measured between 383 and 450 feet high and was built in the third century B.C. to act as a landmark for Pharos, a small island off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt. The lighthouse's tower was built using light-colored stone, and at its highest point, a mirror was placed to reflect sunlight during the day; at night a fire burned to give off light. Some historians believe that the light given off could be seen for some 35 miles. The lighthouse was damaged by 2 earthquakes in 1303 and 1323, and its remains were destroyed in 1480, when a fort was built on the site.


Are You Financially Prepared For College?
Colorado Springs, Colorado (NAPSI) - College is a major investment, but the data proves it's an investment worth making. According to information released by the U.S. Census Bureau in February 2012, workers with a college degree earned nearly twice as much as those without one in 2009.

Teenage BottleRocket's brand new album and their return to Fat Wreck Chords is complete! "Stealing The Covers" is the latest offering from the 4 piece punk band hailing from Laramie, Wyoming. Pulled from catalogs of bands TBR has toured with over the last 17 years the groups most recent offering is a unique collection of upbeat, tongue and cheek cover tracks that follow suit with the bands previous releases.
Having first heard about the possibility of this album during last years Warped Tour I was more than ready to check it out when the opportunity arose. Right off the bat I noticed that this wasn't going to be just another punk cover album as while looking at the albums track listing a lot of the song titles where foreign to me as were the bands who originally performed them. No matter, I forged ahead and what I ended up finding was a fun, fresh and energetic album worth listening to multiple times over. Tracks like "Back and Forth", "Robocop Is a Halfbreed Sellout" and, "Gay Parade" had just about I look for in a solid pop-punk tune.
From humorous lyrics and subject matter to catchy sing along choruses played with a Ramones like fury Teenage Bottlerockets "Stealing The Covers" is a great listen. Don't let the bands decision to choose more obscure tracks cloud your judgment as I found not knowing some of the music only added to the appeal of the record and gave it a freshness other cover albums lack.
Singer song writers Mathew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs are back with their 3rd installment of cover albums titled "Under The Covers Vol.3". Like their previous two compilations which covered songs from the 60's and 70's the latest in the trilogy tackles the widely popular 1980's. Produced by both Sweet and Hoffs the album is being released via Shout Factory and feature 14 tracks ranging from the obscure to the more popular of 80's tracks.
When you hear the name Mathew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs it's hard not to envision the sounds of Sweet's classic album "Girlfriend" and the countless hits Hoff has sang/played on with her former group The Bangles. Though the two are quite different it's easy to assume they wouldn't mix very well however the result is the exact opposite. Since the duo's first covers album "Under the Covers Vol. 1" in 2006 the two have been steadily releasing more work together. The latest "Under the Covers Vol.3" brings the listener back to the age of stone washed denim, hyper color t-shirts and teased hair. Though Sweet and Hoff chose to cover a few more obscure tracks like R.E.M.'s "Sitting Still" and "The Bulrush" by The Bongos each track is given a fresh spin featuring bubbling pop type arrangements making the album one of those that you can throw on and kick back to while looking through your old year book.
My favorite of the 14 tracks were the renditions of Tom Petty's "Free Fallin" and the always enjoyable Go-Go's tune "Our Lips Our Sealed". Even though both of those tracks have had their fair share of reworking by other artists these two renditions were packed with plenty of appeal. My biggest complaint about this album was again that some of the songs were a bit obscure for my liking however I certainly cannot fault the performers for wanting to do something different from an era over flowing with tons of great music.

Vehicles in the "Tank Yard" bake in the desert sun, just like they did in Patton's day.
General Patton Memorial Museum
Chiriaco Summit, California
George S. Patton Jr was a hard-charging American general -- a brilliant (though controversial) wartime tactician, both hated and admired. The eccentric leader claimed to have been a warrior in eight previous lives. He died in 1945, ingloriously, in a traffic accident. While Patton pilgrims can view the death car (and his ivory-handled revolvers) at his museum in Kentucky, an attraction in the California desert offers its own exhibits about the man whose nickname was "Old Blood and Guts."
Wrinkly mannequin of the general in his three-star helmet.
Chiriaco Summit exists mostly as a food and fuel oasis for those exiting I-10 for Joshua Tree National Park. It seems like a remote place for a museum devoted to one of America's most image-conscious combatants. But Patton had a history here. In 1942 he personally chose this wasteland for the army's Desert Training Center: a proxy for the North African Sahara, a place to whip his tank corps into shape in authentic heat and sand.
3-D map of the region was originally built to plan a Los Angeles aqueduct.
Chiriaco Summit is named for Joe Chiriaco, who in 1933 founded the crossroads as a rest stop for travelers brave enough to drive this desolate stretch of highway. His descendants, out of patriotism -- or perhaps gratitude to the man who brought over a million soldiers to camp next to their general store -- started the General Patton Memorial Museum here in the late 1980s.
Patton admired Rommel's tank skills, but never faced him in battle.
The museum briefly covers Patton's life before World War II and the war as a whole -- with exhibits, for example, on the USO and Rosie the Riveter -- but the image that predominates is of the breeches-wearing Wehrmacht-busting general. It is, one guesses, exactly as Patton would have wanted it. He stands in bronze overlooking the entrance, with riding crop in one hand and bull terrier by his side. We give a quick salute, then rush into the air-conditioned interior.
Just inside the entrance is a four-ton model of the 65,000 square miles of desert surrounding the museum. This 3-D map was originally commissioned by L.A.'s Department of Water and Power to scope out an aqueduct that would make the city hospitable. It was repurposed by Patton to plan the numerous camps and airstrips where he could train his tank troops.
The Patton museum probably would not exist without Patton the movie (1970), for which George C. Scott won (and famously refused) the best actor Oscar, and which transformed the long-gone general into a celebrity worthy of a museum (or two). For the most part the public image fostered in the film is supported by the exhibits at Chiriaco Summit. Wrinkled Patton mannequins are outfitted in jodhpurs and polished helmets. Scant attention is paid to his infamous slapping of a shell-shocked soldier for perceived cowardice, but the "Fair Weather Prayer" -- ordered by Patton from his chaplain for good killing weather -- is reproduced in full on one wall. Copies can be purchased at the gift shop.
Bronze Patton scans the horizon for careless enemies.
Skeletal tanks were improvised for training.
The museum goes into exhaustive detail explaining the auto accident that ended his life, and leaves the door open for dark interpretations. Perhaps the brazen general, with the war over, was deliberately bumped off? This exhibit is placed next to a replica of his grave and to a real piano, purchased by Patton for his troops, with a sign forbidding it to be played by visitors.
Patton's generalship in WWII had many critics, but also led to many victories. One of his admirers was Richard Nixon, like Patton a native of California. Nixon supposedly watched and rewatched the Patton movie at the White House whenever he needed inspiration.
Tourists who don't mind dehydration can visit the museum's army tank collection, both outside and in an adjacent open-air pavilion. The vehicles go beyond those used during Patton's military career, including ones named for him posthumously. Also here are the curious "ghost tanks," jeeps augmented with tank-shaped exoskeletons used by Patton for his 1942 combat training. Fixed in place to the outside lot, they look more like monkey bars than military assets. Anyone tempted to climb them, however, will received a harsh hand-searing lesson in solar radiation.
Bench seat photo-op puts you safely in the path of a tank.
For those whose idea of tanks veers to the conceptual, the museum has a collection of Leonardo Da Vinci's proposed machines of war, fabricated in wood from his sketches, including a "scythed chariot" and a 33-barreled "organ gun." The inclusion of the work by a 15th century polymath might seem odd in a museum dedicated to a 20th century general, but it's not as if Patton himself isn't becoming ancient history. He's been dead for nearly 80 years. Patton the movie is far closer in time to its namesake than to today.
The Patton Museum offers those passing through (and unless you are a Patton fan you are just passing through Chiriaco Summit) a biographical look at a controversial figure in his element. Without the post-service political career of a Ulysses S. Grant or George Washington, Patton was in danger of being forgotten, and he noted that, "Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser." Thanks to Hollywood, Americans rediscovered Patton -- who won most of his battles -- and fell in love with him again. This museum does its best to keep that love light burning, as bright as a flaming, Patton-blasted enemy tank at the Battle of the Bulge.

CHAG PURIM!
Our class spent two weeks acting silly while learning about the holiday of Purim! We read stories, baked hamentashen, made groggers, and wrote a Purim song. The groggers were made out of paper plates and filled with pasta for when we heard Haman's name at the community-wide Megillah reading. As a class, we wrote a song to perform for our friends and families telling the general story of Purim - recognizing Haman as the bad guy, and Queen Esther and her cousin Mordecai as the brave Jews. In honor of Queen Esther and Mordecai's courage, we give gifts to the poor and dress up in costumes.
To all of the parents who joined us for the Megillah reading and Purim carnival - your support is greatly appreciated!

Hi! I am a 19 year old from Providence, Rhode Island and currently studying Elementary Education and Psychology at the University of Rhode Island.
Going to the Jewish Community Day School of RI (formally known as ASDS) from kindergarten through 8th grade, being an active member in USY (a jewish teen organization), traveling to Israel, and spending many summers at Camp JORI as both a camper and counselor have all played significant roles in shaping my Jewish identity that I'm proud to have. I hope to make an impact on each and every student and guide them as they begin their journey.

The Selk crater is a crater on Titan, a moon of Saturn, located at 7°N 199°W. It is a geologically young impact crater that measures approximately  in diameter.

There is evidence of the past presence of organic compounds and liquid water in the crater, which is set to be studied in the planned Dragonfly mission. The initial landing site will be in the dunes to the Southeast of Selk.

The crater is named after Serket, the Egyptian goddess of knowledge, writing, education, and reptiles, and was formally approved by the IAU in 2008.

March 18th Heroes Night to feature musical military tribute
Wolfy's America set to perform during halftime and post-game
(DULUTH, Ga.) – The 2017 NLL World Champion Georgia Swarm will welcome Air Force veteran, Wolfy's America, for the 3rd annual Heroes Night presented by Axiom Corporation on Sunday, March 18. In honor of our nation's heroes, the night will feature a 12-minute musical military tribute at halftime, as well as a 30-minute post-game performance from Wolfy's America in the Atlanta Classic Cars Mercedes-Benz Goal Zone Club. The Swarm faces the Buffalo Bandits at 4:05 p.m. ET and early arriving fans will receive a camo rally towel courtesy of Axiom Corporation.
During Heroes Night, the Swarm is proud to announce the return of Seats for Heroes, a program that donates game tickets to current military personnel, veterans and first responders, such as police and firemen. Seats for Heroes will allow many military and first responder families to attend the game at no cost. If you would like to donate seats to one of our hometown heroes, please call 844-4-GASWARM.
Lower Level Tickets to see Heroes Night featuring Wolfy's America at Harrah's Cherokee Casino Field at Infinite Energy Arena start as low as $25 and can be purchased online at GeorgiaSwarm.com/Heroes or by calling 844-4-GASWARM.
"Having the opportunity to honor our nation's heroes means a lot to our organization," Swarm Co-Owner and President Andy Arlotta said. "We are incredibly grateful for the sacrifices made by our armed forces and first responders, and our Heroes Night is designed to recognize all of these brave men and women. We're looking forward to having Wolfy's America in attendance for Heroes Night as well. It is guaranteed to be a patriotic evening that honors our great nation."
"Coming back to the city of Atlanta, and the great state of Georgia, brings back some of the best memories of my life," said Wolfy. "Wolfy's America is a kind of continuation of unity, but now totally focused on bringing together our military and all our working heroes that make up this great country for a musical tribute. We are bringing a high-energy show, filled with sing-along songs and interaction with the ones we will pay tribute to our nation's military troops serving us around the world, past, and present."
About Wolfy's America
The man who brought the world together through music is ready to step out from behind the turntables and back to center stage—for the first time in more than 25 years. A longtime singer and musician, Bob Wolf, also known as Wolfy, learned his art and craft while touring alongside some of the greatest legends of working-man's music: Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Johnny Paycheck—even the Killer himself, Jerry Lee Lewis.
While traveling from coast-to-coast and playing music with the best of the best, Wolfy came to recognize the true heroes of America: our military, our first responders, our nurses—the ones who, day in and day out, go above and beyond to serve, to protect and to comfort. In truth, all who work hard and strive to keep America robust and resilient are heroes to Wolfy. So, Wolfy is returning to the stage to put the spotlight where it belongs: on those who make America the great country it is.
The heralded entertainment industry leader has created a tribute that celebrates America's working heroes through music and laughter. An Air Force veteran, Wolfy drew inspiration for his new show from a legendary figure with a reputation for bringing entertainment to American heroes: the late, great Bob Hope. Following in Hope's footsteps, Wolfy is bringing back the much-missed format of the classic American variety show. From one Bob to another, Wolfy's goal is to bring family entertainment to the folks in the trenches who keep our country going strong.
Come and celebrate the greatness of the United States with a one-of-a-kind entertainer who always puts his country first—America's Wolfy!

Although in the past they have been viewed as separate fields, low-dimensional topology and quantum algebra have recently seen surprising interactions with the development of new topological invariants with deep connections to quantum groups and category theory. These invariants have proven to be effective tools for tackling fundamental problems in manifold and link theory, but they also have generated new research activity in algebra due to their compelling internal structure with close connections to higher categories and higher representation theory. This workshop will focus on recent advances in this developing subject, bringing together researchers from all parts of this vibrant field, and highlighting work of both established experts and exceptional young researchers from inside and outside of Australia.

On the 100th anniversary of the first time British women won the vote, Lyse Doucet travels across the globe, meeting women from Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Liberia and Iceland to discover that the victory of 1918 in Britain has continued to resonate through the century. She hears reflections from some of the world's most influential women's rights activists, including former presidents, and shares her own experiences in reporting from some of the most troubled regions. This week Lyse Doucet meets the redoubtable Shukria Barakzai, Afghanistan's ambassador to Norway. Shukria was appointed a member of the 2003 loya jirga, a body of representatives from all over Afghanistan that was nominated to discuss and pass the new constitution after the fall of the Taliban. In the October 2004 elections she was elected as a member of the House of the People or Wolesi Jirga, the lower house of the National Assembly of Afghanistan. She was one of only a handful of female MPs to speak up for women's rights, and faced death threats for her views. In November 2014 she was injured in a suicide attack on a convoy in which she was travelling in Kabul.
Could living in a home designed to deliberately demand more effort from you each day help you stay fitter and more alert in your later years? And could people living with dementia be better integrated in the community through work? Aki Maruyama Leggett examines some of the novel ideas for senior housing and social care emerging in Japan in the second of two programmes.
Three women who fled the countries they were born in because of war or conflict tell us how food helped them rebuild their lives, explore family secrets, and reconnect with their cultures. Their lives are very different, but they all share a yearning to regain what they have lost through food. Emily Thomas talks to Razan Alsous, a Syrian refugee who has built a successful cheese business in the north of England; Cambodian-American Nite Yun who has used her cooking business to understand the family history that her parents never spoke of; and Mandana Moghaddam who runs Persian cooking lessons in London, having fled Iran with her family after the revolution.
Chemist Professor Andrea Sella tells the story of the element phosphorus. And how a discovery in boiled urine led to the trade union movement and chemical weapons. We hear how the health impact of phosphorus on a group of Irish girls changed politics, how the element has been used as a weapon of war and we peer into the future, as chemists break new ground on what might be possible with phosphorus and nanotechnology.


The 2019 Honda Insight hybrid hasn't been on sale for long; and yet Honda is already recalling more than 6,000 of them for a rearview camera failure.
The problem affects another 226,000 vehicles—2018 Accord models, possibly including some Accord Hybrids.
The screen may show up blank, with only lane guidance lines appearing under certain conditions.
- Sometimes the screen will freeze in incoming call mode after the driver turns off the car and will still be displayed the next time it is restarted.
- The navigation screen may crash or freeze when rerouting or adding a destination using voice recognition.
- The screen will go blank when shifting into Park.
The fix for the rearview camera software will remedy all these problems, Honda said in a statement accompanying the recall.
Dealers received new software to fix the problem in early September, and the repair doesn't require any new parts, so owners should be able to make an appointment to have their cars repaired. Honda says it will update cars' radio software via the USB port to alleviate the problem.
Since rearview cameras are now required safety equipment for new passenger vehicles in the U.S., the malfunctioning cameras violate federal law and must be recalled.


there are so many booklets from intro rules through to full rules, quick ref sheets and the data records and best of all a reasonable book for fluff 55 pages long called amusingly "Inner Sphere at a glance"
The Quickstart rules have a scenario requiring a hunchback and an enforcer so i painted these first.
they paint up pretty quick so should have the box set done soon cant wait to get a game.
So today i went to the Dragonmeet roleplaying convention in London and it was a great dayout i looked ar a few games but in all honesty i went up for one reason to see the Word forge games.
The models are looking amazing there is a model in 20mm scale which as a driver in car has a bowler hat and a pipe its so small that i couldn't get a clear picture.
One of the highest point is the fact that i met the two gentlemen that worked on the artwork and fluff for my character Lord Hood who also featured on the back of the con guide.
So Excited! for this to arrive in the new year and anytime someone wants a game shout happy to guide, demo or just play.
So I know I am behind the times but I picked up my betrayal box this morning and wanted to share with you.
So the contents look lovely and have new toy smell.
Which I am happy with alongside a normal rhino. Need to add another predator and some land speeders after the betrayal at calth box sorts my troops.
I also played in a fun malifaux tournament at the club to make numbers up and had a jolly good time.
So after a hiatus on the club blog I have decided mine should live again (thanks Jim) I am continuing to cover games I like though I suspect this to be a different list to previously.
Guild Ball – easiest pick up and play game for me and its football (soccer) with some amazing models and in my opinion the best table top sports game out there.
Malifaux - After GW the most popular game at the club and great fun also plays on 3x3 table so can play in Tardis.
Knight models legends - Marvel universe because Marvel!
MERCS Recon - a board game of corporate espionage which looks like it will finally ship in the next few months .
So lots on and suggestions for third game most definitely welcome.
