Terms & Conditions
Important notice: Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. Stefek's, Ltd. usually auctions material at the rate of 80-100 lots per hour. On some occasions the Live Auctioneer bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject a Live Auctioneer Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the Live Auctioneers live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via Live Auctioneers, you agree that Stefek's, Ltd. may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since Live Auctioneer bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the Live Auctioneer bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie Live Auctioneer bids. Also please note that all Stefek's, Ltd. lots purchased through Live Auctioneers carry an 23% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. The lots listed in the catalog will be offered by STEFEK'S, LTD. as owner or as agent for consignor(s) subject to the following terms and conditions: Before the Sale All lots are sold "AS IS" and are not eligible for return or refund. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested before the auction takes place. Condition reports are usually available on request. Just because a condition report is not provided with the item does that mean the item is in "perfect" condition. All lots are sold "AS IS" and without recourse, and neither STEFEK'S, LTD. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied, with respect to such lots. Neither STEFEK'S, LTD. nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalog or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in this catalog, or in supplement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. STEFEK'S, LTD.. makes no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchase will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. STEFEK'S, LTD. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in this catalog. We do not refund shipping. At the Sale Refusal of admission STEFEK'S, LTD. has the right, at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or participation in an auction and to reject any bid. Registration before bidding A prospective buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide identification before bidding. We may require bank or other financial references. Bidding as principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the appropriate buyer's premium of the final bid price, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with STEFEK'S, LTD. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to STEFEK'S, LTD. and that STEFEK'S, LTD. will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent, or by telephone. Bids must be placed in U.S. currency. If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it. Telephone bids If a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone, but we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in conjunction with telephone bidding. Our phone schedule is created at 5:00 p.m. EST the night of the auction, we cannot guarantee that any phone bids placed after that time will be on the final schedule. Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors, or the absence thereof, in the absolute discretion of STEFEK'S, LTD. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to the other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards in his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer's discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record in conclusive. Successful bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser.

Yes, I know it isn't IPA or anything fancy. It's not even Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or Alaskan Amber - the latter formerly known as "Chinook" in Juneau, I think, because the Alaskan Pale Ale wasn't produced until 1988, and I drank Chinook beer in the Red Dog Saloon in 1987.
We're having a cake tonight!

First three ingredients are named meat products, good quality ingredients
Insufficient meat content
The first three ingredients of this food are named meat products. The first two of these are inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredients will weigh around 20% of their wet weight. It is thus likely that these dry ingredients may be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list than the wet form (ingredients are listed in order of weight). Since the ingredient list is still headed by a meat meal ingredient, this does not cause considerable loss of confidence in the likely meat content of the food.
Behind the main meat ingredient, there are three grains and potato. With only one true meat meal ingredient ahead of the grain content, it appears likely that this food contains a greater amount of grain than meat (note this includes two forms of rice). The grains are, at least, good quality whole grains.
Pea fiber is filler, though this is a minor ingredient in the food. There is a range of oils high in omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, as well as some amount of fruits/vegetables and egg. We appreciate the range of probiotics.
Overall, this food appears to be of good quality and uses decent ingredients. It would appear to be rather grain heavy, however, and animals may benefit from the addition of real meat to the diet.

Viola Davis and David Arquette are among the stars who have sent their well wishes to Barbara Walters after the veteran U.S. broadcaster was hospitalized in Washington, D.C. following a fall on Saturday.
The 83 year old was at the British Ambassador's residence in D.C. covering President Barack Obama's inauguration when she tripped and cut her forehead.
Her representative stated, "Out of an abundance of caution, she went to the hospital to have her cut tended to, have a full examination and remains there for observation. Barbara is alert (and telling everyone what to do), which we all take as a very positive sign."
"The Help" star Davis has reached out to the veteran broadcaster in a bid to boost her spirits.
Davis tells ET Online, "Ms. Walters, there will be more historic moments. Not to worry. But in the meantime, we are all so inspired by the standard that you set that we're going to try to put on the big girl pumps tomorrow and see how we pull it off."
Arquette added, "Get well Barbara, I feel bad about that," and actress Marlee Matlin declared on her Twitter page, "Get well BarbaraJWalters. Yes, it is a good sign that you're on the mend when you're telling people what to do. Good show!"

George R.R. Martin Addresses Racial Diversity on 'Game of Thrones'
Even the fantasy world of "Game of Thrones" isn't immune to scrutiny when it comes to racial diversity. In response to a recent fan's comment on his blog, George R.R. Martin has promised some "characters of color" in his upcoming "The Winds of Winter," the next book in "A Song of Ice and Fire."
The fan, who identified herself as an African-American female, wrote in a comment titled "I Love GOT but the lack of diversity really hurts": "So far in the series there has only been one black woman with a speaking role and while i love that she's getting a romantic storyline too but that hasn't been enough for me." The reader went on to say that she hoped to dress as "someone other than Black Daenerys for a change."
"I've seen the new cast and I applaud the casting of DeObia Oparei but must all black people in the series be servants, guards, or charlatans?" she asked.

Two Unions? VRE could serve Charlottesville-D.C. by 2007
NEWS- Two Unions? VRE could serve Charlottesville-D.C. by 2007
The state's top railroad official is handing Charlottesville citizens a gift a Bristol senator recently denied them: official sanction for a train to Washington.
It won't be the much-discussed TransDominion Express, but according to a new report released last week to the General Assembly, a new round-trip train service could connect Union Station on West Main Street to the Union Station beside the Capitol within two years.
The new weekday-only service would be operated by Virgina Railway Express, the fast-growing Northern Virginia-based commuter company. VRE could make the Charlottesville trains possible by extending its train to Manassas.
"That's good news," says Michael Testerman, president of the Virginia Association of Railway Patrons. "See, now, they can be creative when they want to."
Testerman lauds the fact that the new Charlottesville service would not only utilize existing equipment and rails, but it would also tap into federal and state mass-transit funds. "We've been trying to get that all along," Testerman says.
Rail fans have long complained that theirs is the only major transportation system without a permanent public funding source– other than irregular cash infusions for always-struggling Amtrak. Governor Mark Warner took a step toward bridging the funding gap when he announced that his 2005 budget will dedicate $23 million a year for passenger and freight rail improvements.
The Charlottesville link– currently unnamed– would shuttle passengers to D.C. in the morning and back at night in about two and a half hours, according to the report.
Currently, Charlottesville travelers have just one or two Amtrak trains to get to Washington each day, and because those trains– the Cardinal and the Crescent– reserve many seats for long-haul passengers and book up months in advance, seats for short-hopping Charlottesvillians can be tough to find. And the ride takes nearly three hours.
"I believe we could fill at least one car a day with just the present demand that's been unfulfilled," says Meredith Richards. In a December 23 article in The Hook, this former Charlottesville City Councilor and longtime rail supporter went public with her fears that the state's long-touted TransDominion Express, or TDX, a network of new trains, would be derailed by William Wampler, the powerful Bristol-based state senator.
Richards says that Wampler, a majority party member of the Senate Finance Committee, used an October meeting in Lynchburg to override the state's director of the Department of Rail and Public Transportation, Karen Rae. Wampler substituted Bristol-to-Richmond for the Roanoke-to-D.C. pilot program that Rae had earlier endorsed. Richards worries that launching such a high-visibility demonstration project in such a low-population part of the state could doom the entire project.
Richards revealed that she and other north-of-Lynchburg members of the TDX steering committee were not invited for the October surprise.
The new Charlottesville-D.C. link– under study for several months, according to various sources– emerged in Rae's report to the General Assembly just two days after Richards held a press conference denouncing the Wampler plan.
The VRE extension to Charlottesville would cost $3.1 million for a year of service, according to Rae's report, while the TDX Bristol-to-Richmond demonstration would cost $28 million and require 10 hours on the rail, a trip a car can make in just 6.5 hours, according to the report.
While Richards hails the VRE extension to Charlottesville, she finds a little irony in the piecemeal approach.
"Isn't it odd," says Richards, "that a rail program that was proposed as a network will start out from the bottom going up and from the top going down– with a big gap in the middle?"
For now, Lynchburg-to-Charlottesville is that gap, but the key lobbyist for the TDX, Barbara Hartley, says she expects the TDX to eventually fill the gap. While acknowledging Richards' view that the Charlottesville-to-D.C. holds the promise of the most traffic, Hartley says the Bristol route of the TDX holds the promise of economic development for southwestern Virginia.
"In the future, we see the TDX moving up through Charlottesville," says Hartley. "But there are never any done deals when walking into the General Assembly."
PILOT ERROR? Meredith Richards (left) has called the pilot program of the TDX a "serious mistake," but Barbara Hartley, the lobbyist and staffer for the TDX showed up at Richards' January 10 Amtrak Station press conference to defend the pilot program. "We are confident," said Hartley, "we will be able to complete the service once we have a successful demonstration."

As a consultant who helps club owners revamp their personal training departments, I notice that struggling departments often share many of the same issues—in particular, the lack of centralized, automated operations.
At these clubs, trainers use old-style appointment books to manage their own schedules, and clients must speak directly to trainers to schedule, change or cancel appointments. It may take a day or two for a trainer to return the call or they may end up playing "phone tag." Clients who have several sessions per week with a trainer must be written down each day. The book starts looking like a big mess with erased and scratched-out time slots. Personal training directors often spend two or more days balancing the books and completing payroll, as they must pull revenue reports for an entire department and by trainer and it often requires them to manually record and calculate revenue totals.
I encourage clubs to initiate central department operations. It requires a financial investment but this investment quickly will be returned in saved time and money. Here are some ways this system is so beneficial:
Customer Service Reps: Up until seven years ago, my clubs functioned without customer service representatives (CSRs). A year after we hired an administrative staff to manage our behind-the-scenes operations, our revenues doubled. These individuals support and assist our personal trainers so our trainers can better service their clientele. Our CSRs schedule all training appointments, pull client files and print trainers' schedules, enter all clients into our database, check in clients for their appointments, answer phones, prepare new client folders, make photocopies, send out birthday cards and so much more. Office support enables our trainers to focus on training and enables them to fill their schedule to capacity. We now employ two full-time CSRs and one part-time CSR at our 5,000-square-foot training studio. By adding this expense to your personal training department budget, you bring a much higher level of professionalism and service to your clientele.
Automated Appointment Scheduler: Our automated system allows us to schedule our repeat clients for as long as we want with the touch of a button. We can view the entire schedule for a trainer or a team of trainers on a given day or for a week. By incorporating an automated schedule, you minimize double bookings and scheduling errors, and you save valuable time and money. An automated system also allows you to check in clients for their sessions and counts their sessions. Our CSRs are responsible for always making sure that our manual client sign-in sheet matches our automated system. This minimizes the chances of a trainer accidently giving away a free session.
Automated Payroll: By using an automated appointment scheduler, payroll becomes less of a headache. Here is how our payroll is conducted:
- Our CSRs check in the client. An appointment receipt is printed and then placed in a payroll envelope.
- At the end of each day, CSRs add up how many appointment receipts they collected for each trainer.
- At the end of each day, our trainers record their day's activities on a payroll sheet.
- At the end of the payroll period, our personal training director confirms that the number of appointment receipts match the computer and payroll sheet.
Automated Point of Sale: By using an automated point of sale, we can quickly determine total sales on a given day, for a specific period, for the entire team or for an individual trainer. We can easily determine buying trends and most popular products and services. Our system will even alert us when it is time for clients to renew their personal training services. In addition to all this, it provides a more professional experience.

NRA Breaks Silence, Promises 'Meaningful Contributions'
The National Rifle Association went into complete lockdown after the Newtown massacre, and even shut down their Facebook page, but four days later they've emerged from the bunker: NRA Promises 'Meaningful' Contributions.
National Rifle Association of America is made up of four million moms and dads, sons and daughters - and we were shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders in Newtown.
Out of respect for the families, and as a matter of common decency, we have given time for mourning, prayer and a full investigation of the facts before commenting.
The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again.
The NRA is planning to hold a major news conference in the Washington, DC area on Friday, December 21.
I feel pretty safe predicting that the NRA's "meaningful contributions" are going to involve MOAR GUNZ.

For the second day in a row, gun legislation dominated the Colorado legislature, with two more Democratic gun bills moving forward Wednesday unimpeded by the hundreds of Second Amendment activists who have shown up at the Capitol in protest.
The clash over guns is now headed to the floor of the Colorado House, with four gun bills expected to be debated Friday in one epic, day-long session.
Gun-rights activists and Republicans say Democrats' historic push for greater gun restrictions is going to backfire on them.
"I think they already do regret this," said House Minority Leader Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs. "I think that's been indicated in the fact that they promised a lot to their base on gun control this year, and we're 25 percent of the way through the legislative session and we're just now seeing the first gun bills."
Waller said Democrats are "struggling with votes to pass these things on the floor."
House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, shrugged off those suggestions, saying it took time to develop a broad-ranging package of gun bills. And he said the public is with Democrats, not Republicans, on guns.
"Look at the public polling on closing the private sale loophole, as well as magazines," Ferrandino said, citing a January poll conducted by The Denver Post. "There's support by a majority of Coloradans on both of those areas and overwhelming support on background checks.
"Coloradans understand that we need to protect the Second Amendment, but we also need to counter that with issues regarding public safety, and that we are trying to take a reasonable and responsible approach."
The issue has been delicate at times for some Democrats who support gun rights. The party enjoys a 37-28 majority in the House this year after flipping the chamber in November, which Republicans had held with a 33-32 advantage the last two years.
It's still unclear where Gov. John Hickenlooper, a moderate Democrat, stands on most of the Democratic bills, though he does support the expanded background checks legislation.
State Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, for example, backed an amendment on a bill Tuesday that increased a ban on high capacity magazines from 10 to 15 rounds and said his district is balanced when it comes to the debate over guns.
"And that's why I look to be balanced in what I'm voting for," Salazar said. "I've heard from constituents who want more gun laws and others who want none. It just varies."
The Old Supreme Court Chambers in the Capitol, where two Democratic gun bills were heard Wednesday, were filled with gun-rights activists but not nearly as many as on Tuesday, when crowds stretched into hallways and many had to listen in an overflow room in the basement.

A selection of stories from the week that was wilder than Melrose Place.
Why Grantland Rice Sucked | Grantland Rice was everything his namesake website should aspire not to be. He was a pandering mythmaker who wrote verse and prose the way Thomas Kinkade paints carriage lanes ("The Hills of Fame still beckon where the Paths of Glory lead …"). Reading him today is not unlike looking at your maiden aunt's collection of Precious Moments figurines. Moths come flying off every word. He was responsible for a lot of the worst pathologies of sportswriting today, and the fact that a major web site now unironically carries his name tells me we've done to Rice what Rice did to so many ballplayers over the years. We've godded up the godmaker. (Tommy Craggs)
• MORE COVERAGE OF GRANTLAND.COM: A Comprehensive Analysis Of Grantland's Diction So Far | Bill Simmons, Number One Bruins Fan | And This Is Why We Need Grantland
A Long List Of Sports Figures Who've Also Claimed Their Twitter Was Hacked | As soon as Rep. Anthony Weiner first acknowledged his roiling Twitter-bulge scandal with a desperate "I've been hacked" defense last week, we knew he was guilty. "I've been hacked" is the first refuge of a cock-Tweeter. Weiner isn't the first to mistakenly send a private Twitter flirtation to a relative stranger. Here's a long list of very public sports figures who've been through similar ordeals. Some of the messages were sexual, some were surly, but all of these men proclaimed their innocence and denied responsibility for their social-media boners. Odds are, though, that just like the beleaguered Weiner, some of them were straight-up lying. (Barry Petchesky and A.J. Daulerio)
Why Men Send Dong Shots To People | We've all had a good laugh about Anthony Weiner using his Twitter account to show the world that white Congressmen can have surprisingly decent-sized cocks. And we here at Deadspin have gotten a great deal of mileage out of men who, in fit of passion, decided to take pictures of their dicks and send them out into the ether, like digital herpes. (Drew Magary)
LeBron James And The Mistaken Case Of The Shrinking Superstar | In last night's post-game press conference, CBS Sports controversialist Gregg Doyel took the mic and asked LeBron James about his fourth quarter performances in the postseason. The fourth quarter, Doyel suggested, is when "superstars become superstars" (a confusing idea of evolution in itself), and James has been "shrinking" from that call. A few hours later, we saw exactly what narrative that question was intended to feed — Doyel's column, which is entitled "LeBron James: Story of an incredibly shrinking superstar." (Emma Carmichael)
• ALSO: Gregg Doyel, Unshrinking Media Superstar
Tim Donaghy Watches The Watchmen | As he did for us last year, Tim Donaghy, the former NBA referee who spent 11 months in prison for relaying inside information to gamblers, will review the performance of his former colleagues during the NBA Finals. Game 1 | Game 2 | Game 3 | Game 4 | Game 5
My Lunches With Costas: A Series Of Frank Encounters With The Journalist And Shill | Mickey Mantle died in 1995, at 63, overwhelmed by cancer from a liver that had been removed and replaced only months before. The controversy — had he been bumped to the head of the line and how could a patient with such advanced disease even be considered for a transplant? — was muted by admiration for Mantle's gallantry, his call for organ donations, and his candor about alcohol abuse and his lousy record as a husband and father. At the time, I wrote: ''Just before he died, Mickey Mantle gave us a reason to love him. He was willing to use himself as an almost anti-role model in a very heroic way.'' (Robert Lipsyte, from An Accidental Sportswriter)
How An MLB Umpire Helped This Kalamazoo Wiffleball Team Win Its Game | The Kalamazoo Wiffle League is the No. 1 competitive wiffle league in the nation, one of its players tells me. This becomes apparent when you see Steve Everett's leaping catch below, and even more so when you see the lengths the wifflers went to verify the call. At stake were the tying runs in the last inning, after all. So they phoned an MLB umpire. Who wouldn't? (Jack Dickey)
Learning To Hate Sugar Ray Leonard All Over Again | I never liked Sugar Ray Leonard. By all rights, I should have. He was a spectacular boxer, a rare combination of grace and power, one of the best of all time. He fought bigger men. He fought the class of his generation. What's more, he grew up a shy, comic book-loving kid in the suburbs of my hometown of Washington D.C. But there was always something absent in Leonard, at least for me. He struck me as a simulacrum, an actor, one of those people who smile too much because they know how straight and white their teeth are. He was too clean, too manufactured, the over-produced studio rap to the gritty old-school stuff that I demanded in pugilists. His nickname fit him perfectly. To me, he was cloying. (Luke O'Brien)
West Virginia's Toxic Circus: The Boozer, The Lame Duck, And The Vengeful Coach's Wife | West Virginia's coaching situation is, to put it as mildly as we can, a total clusterfuck. Whoever in the athletics office thought it would be a good idea to hire Dana Holgorsen as head-coach-in-waiting, while still keeping current coach Bill Stewart around for another year, ought to find themselves out of a job soon — possibly along with both the current and future coaches. With Holgorsen's highly-publicized belligerence at a casino, and a slew of not-so-publicized alleged incidents with alcohol, and Stewart (or his wife) possibly feeding the local media the dirt, the Mountaineers have created a mess on the Monongahela.

Milwaukee's Nyjer Morgan Provides The Post-Game Interview Of The Season | Nyjer Morgan, the most glorious weirdo in Major League Baseball, put the Mets away with a walk-off double in the bottom of the ninth in Milwaukee last night. In his post-game interview with Fox Sports Wisconsin, Prince Fielder provided Morgan with a Gatorade bath, which this time around consisted entirely of Gatorade. The outfielder admitted that he'd thought the Brewers were leading when he connected — a statement that's totally supported by his look of genuine, joyful surprise as his teammates surround him in celebration. Mark it down before the next Verducci column: the new hitting technique is utter oblivion. (Emma Carmichael)

Gun Industry Marketing to Children! 'Maybe You'll Find A Bushmaster AR-15 Under the Christmas Tree!'
More: Selling a New Generation on Guns
Threatened by long-term declining participation in shooting sports, the firearms industry has poured millions of dollars into a broad campaign to ensure its future by getting guns into the hands of more, and younger, children.
The industry's strategies include giving firearms, ammunition and cash to youth groups; weakening state restrictions on hunting by young children; marketing an affordable military-style rifle for 'junior shooters' and sponsoring semiautomatic-handgun competitions for youths; and developing a target-shooting video game that promotes brand-name weapons, with links to the Web sites of their makers.
The pages of Junior Shooters, an industry-supported magazine that seeks to get children involved in the recreational use of firearms, once featured a smiling 15-year-old girl clutching a semiautomatic rifle. At the end of an accompanying article that extolled target shooting with a Bushmaster AR-15 — an advertisement elsewhere in the magazine directed readers to a coupon for buying one — the author encouraged youngsters to share the article with a parent.
'Who knows?' it said. 'Maybe you'll find a Bushmaster AR-15 under your tree some frosty Christmas morning!'

A Smart Bet To Advance To Pawtucket in 2011
The last former Yale Bulldog to play for the Pawtucket Red Sox was current Oakland A's pitcher Craig Breslow. As I wrote about in a previous entry, Breslow was recently named "The Smartest Athlete in Sports" by The Sporting News.
Red Sox catching prospect Ryan Lavarnway is also a former Yalie. Can he match wits with Breslow?
"I don't know if I'm as smart as Breslow – especially if he's the smartest person in sports," Lavarnway said with a laugh. "I've had the opportunity to get to know Craig a little bit and he's a great guy. He really helped me make the transition from amateur ball to pro ball. He went out of his way to try to help me learn how to turn my mind off when it's appropriate."
(photos courtesy of Kelly O'Connor)
Lavarnway was a 6th round draft pick by Boston in 2008 and has rapidly climbed the minor league ladder. Last year between Single-A Salem and Double-A Portland, the 23-year-old catcher batted .288 with 27 doubles, 22 HR, and 102 RBI (.393 OBP/.489 SLG). As a result, Ryan recently took part in the Red Sox Rookie Development Program which is reserved for Boston's minor leaguers that are considered the most likely candidates to advance to the big leagues over the next two seasons.
"It was a great opportunity, and I think it speaks to how far I've come," Lavarnway said. "I don't think I was on the radar two short years ago, despite being selected early in the draft. I've absolutely worked my tail off – especially defensively because that's where I needed the most work. Coming to this program means that they've noticed my hard work."
Lavarnway was an outfielder in his final two years of high school ball in California, and didn't start catching at Yale until his sophomore year. He was drafted largely for his bat after setting the Ivy League's all-time record with 33 career home runs.
"The defense is catching up to the bat," said Red Sox Director of Player Development Mike Hazen. "I would say that two years ago, the bat was way ahead of the defense but I wouldn't say that's the case anymore. Even though the offense has been really consistent and really productive over the last three years in the minor leagues, the defense is steadily catching up. He's working very hard on his footwork and his throwing and his receiving."
They don't teach "Catching 101" in the Ivy League, but Lavarnway says the decision-making process behind the plate is as mentally stimulating as some of his course work at Yale.
"It really is actually," Lavarnway told me. "It's the pitcher vs. the hitter, but I'm the guy that suggests what to throw. It keeps my mind active and I love feeling like I'm involved in every pitch. I love the camaraderie that develops between me and the pitcher to try to work through a game."
"I still think that whatever you would consider 'book smart,' there needs to be a degree of being 'game savvy,' Hazen said. "Learning how to call a baseball game is thorough experience, and he's a very attentive, studious person. He pays attention to what goes on, and that's the biggest part of it."
Soxprospects.com projects Lavarnway to begin this season at Double-A Portland, but if Ryan posts the type of stats that he's put up in each of the last two seasons, he's likely to advance to Pawtucket at some point in 2011. When Craig Breslow was with the PawSox, the Ivy Leaguer was stereotypically assumed to be a master of all subjects. Lavarnway says he receives the same treatment from his teammates.
"Any time there's a small bit of trivia like, 'Who sang this song in the 80's?' they think the Yale kid must know it," Ryan said.
Does he try to answer their questions or just fake it?
"It depends on the day. Sometimes I'm like, 'How would I know that?' And other times I just make something up and they say, 'Oh yea, that sounds about right,' Lavarnway said with a grin.
Pretty smart, don't you think?

Do you like it when people use pencils as pointers? Have you ever wanted an in-depth history of the Alfa Romeo logo? Actually, that sounds quite interesting.
Well, fear no more, cause John Davis has you covered.
What they didn't get right was the idea that Alfa's aggressive marketing could make the 164 a hit in the American market. It was whatever the opposite of a hit is.
An interesting tidbit: Alfa sold these cars through a partnership with Chrysler. Now Fiat, Alfa's parent company, has a major stake in Chrysler. Amazing how things work.
Ok, enough of me prattling on. Watch the 164 tackle the roads of Maryland with ease.

Sales of handsets in the India market reached 61.07 million units in the first quarter of 2014, with smartphones accounting for 17.59 million units or 28.8%. Notably, smartphone sales showed a 186% on-year growth in the first quarter compared to a 31% growth recorded in China, indicating rising growth momentum in India, according to IDC. The market research firm expects smartphone sales in India to top 80.57 million units in 2014, with a CAGR of over 40% in the next five years.
Despite booming sales, a total of 78% of smartphones sold in India are tagged below US$200. Meanwhile, local brands are emerging as major players, with Micromax, Karbonn and Lava taking a 15%, 10% and 6% share, respectively, to serve as the second, third and fourth largest vendors in India, trailing after only Samsung Electronics (35%). Under such circumstances, is there room for Taiwan-based handset vendors or related handset component suppliers to make further deployments in India? Digitimes president Colley Hwang met with Micromax co-founder Rajesh Agarwal to discuss this issue and gain insights about the India market.
Q: Could you talk about the major milestones for your companies in the past few years as well as your strategies for the future?
A: Micromax started from scratch to become the top handset vendor within just a few years. We shipped 25 million handsets in 2013 and expect to sell 40 million units in 2014. Give us some more time we will have an opportunity to enter the world's top-10 vendors list.
In the market place, Micromax has become a well-known brand in India and tends to also become the best platform for foreign products to use as a channel in the India market. We believe that any solutions available worldwide can make an entrance into the India market through Micromax's sales channels, and Micromax also does not confine itself to the handset business.
Q: Could you also talk about the current status of India's handset market, and what are the strategies being adopted by Micromax to approach the market?
A: We currently import about three million handsets a month from China, accounting for a significant portion of the monthly imports of 21 million handsets by India on the whole. Not only consumers are sensitive to pricing, the ever-declining ASPs have also continued to mount pressure on handset vendors. Micromax's ASP for handsets stood at US$60-70 in 2013 and is expected to drop to around US$55 in 2014.
Q: China-based brand Xiaomi Technology has just made inroads into India. How do you assess the competitive pressure that China-based brands will bring into the India market?
A: Xiaomi indeed has come out aggressively, but China is China and India is India, as social and cultural conditions of the two nations are not identical. For example, channel operators in India seldom leverage online marketing, and after-sale service support networks are one of the major advantages local brands have. The hunger marketing used by Xiaomi in China is not necessarily applicable in India. Micromax will win over Xiaomi in India as we have the ability to compete effectively with Samsung.
Micromax posted revenues of US$1.2 billion in 2013 and is likely to ramp up its revenues to US$2.0 billion in 2014. To meet market demand more flexibly, Micromax has also been trying to manufacture handsets in-house. We are now importing SKD products from abroad for production of up to 600,000 units of mobile devices a month. We aim to control more value from production processes and we are also assessing the value to be generated from other segments, such as online networks and software.
Micromax will focus on four strategic segments: Internet, handsets, smart TVs and LED products. The Internet is everywhere, whether it is for marketing or rendering value-added services. Micromax will pay strong attention to any online services which are instrumental to its business expansion and will look for proper opportunities to participate in these businesses.
For the handset business, as we have been the number one local brand in India, we certainly will continue to optimize this advantage. Micromax has not only continued to deepen its deployments in India but we have also moved aggressively into neighboring countries including Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Micromax now serves as the second largest handset vendor in these two countries. In addition to markets in South Asia, we are also looking for opportunities to make inroads into the Russia market, and also aim to hold a comprehensive advantage in emerging markets.
Micromax believes that smart TVs serve as a key element in building a complete IT industry ecosystem. We will look for cooperation partners in the smart TV sector, and Taiwan-based makers may serve as the best partners. Micromax plans to go to public in 2015 and thus we will have more room to seek cooperation partners prior to being listed. Of course, we will be a worthy partner for Taiwan-based companies to approach for cooperation talks. While we believe that Taiwan could be the best partner for us, we do not yet have the whole picture regarding to how strong the ambition Taiwan's companies have for building up a handset supply chain in India.
Micromax has held cooperation talks with a number of Taiwan-based companies including BenQ, but nothing has been ever finalized. A lack of in-depth understanding of each side has made the previous industry meetings empty talks. But now since the market environment has become more mature, companies from Taiwan and India may be able to find a new cooperation model.

The Tote Shop
Sort By:
The Tote Shop at Pinnacle Promotions features chic, durable, and even eco-friendly totes. These items may have been around for a while, but it was not until more recent years as the environmental movement finally made its way to the forefront of the fashion world that these bags reached the peak of their popularity. As reusable and fashionable alternatives to plastic and paper bags, in terms of their marketing capabilities, they aren't going anywhere. These reusable items have the ability to create multiple advertising impressions over and over again without any additional cost. Many are made from materials such as non-woven polypropylene that looks and feel like cloth but is stronger and in return, lasts longer. Plus it is more lightweight than other materials, which makes it easy to transport and to cast a large reach.

Here are the first three book shelves from my library. I probably won't take photos of everything, as I doubt anyone much cares to see the stacks of paperbacks I have scattered about .
Lettered copies of the DRP editions of Simon Stantzas's collections, and the deluxe limited of the Pugmire/Thomas collection.
My Jeffrey Thomas collection.
Ligotti, more Strantzas, Barron, etc.
My DarkFuse full-size hardcover shelf. I'm only missing Long Black Coffin and the Border Trilogy, though I'm have a deal in place for the latter. Also another copy of Deadstock, and the softcover things on top are the first issue of the now-defunct Phatasmagorium magazine and the three Felix Renn chapbooks by Ian Rogers (two copies of the third one).
Two things:
1) Forgive the funky angles on some photos, right now everything is crammed into my man cave and space is limited, so bookshelves end up in odd places.
2) Forgive the horrible organization. I'm planning on getting some real bookshelves in the near future and will be able to sort everything then.

Ten Reasons Not To Circumcise
Intact America
Also available at http://www.intactamerica.org/resources/decision
Circumcision is a painful, risky, unethical surgery that deprives over a million boys each year of healthy, functional tissue, while wasting health care dollars that could be spent on medically necessary services. Learn more about the myths and facts of infant circumcision, visit our Resources page, read the "Ten Reasons NOT to Circumcise Your Baby Below" below – and learn why you should keep your newborn son intact.
10 Reasons NOT to Circumcise Your Baby Boy
- Because there is no medical reason for "routine" circumcision of baby boys. No professional medical association in the United States or the rest of the world recommends routine neonatal circumcision. The American Medical Association calls it "non-therapeutic." At no time in its 75 years has the American Academy of Pediatrics ever recommended infant circumcision.
- Because the foreskin is not a birth defect. The foreskin is a normal, sensitive, functional part of the body. In infant boys, the foreskin is attached to the head of the penis (glans), protects it from urine, feces, and irritation, and keeps contaminants from entering the urinary tract. The foreskin also has an important role in sexual pleasure, due to its specialized, erogenous nerve endings and its natural gliding and lubricating functions.
- Because you wouldn't circumcise your baby girl. In the United States, girls of all ages are protected by federal and state laws from forced genital surgery, whether practiced in medical or non-medical settings, and regardless of the religious or cultural preferences of their parents. There is no ethical rationale for distinguishing between female and male genital alteration. If it is wrong to remove part of a baby girl's healthy genitals, then it is wrong to do the same to those of a baby boy.
- Because your baby does not want to be circumcised. Circumcision painfully and permanently alters a baby boy's genitals, removing healthy, protective, functional tissue from the penis and exposing the child to unnecessary pain and medical risks –for no medical benefit. What do you think your baby boy would say if he could tell you?
- Because removing part of a baby's penis is painful, risky, and harmful. We know babies are sensitive to pain. Many circumcisions are performed with no analgesic, but even when pain control is employed, the pain is not eliminated. As with any surgery, complications can and do occur with circumcision. These include infection, abnormal bleeding, removal of too much skin, loss of all or part of the glans, urinary problems, and even death. All circumcisions result in the loss of the foreskin and its functions, and leave a penile scar.
- Because times and attitudes have changed. The circumcision rate in the United States is now below 40% (and much lower in some parts of the country), down from 81% in 1981. More than 60% of all baby boys in the U.S. leave the hospital intact, as more and more parents realize that circumcision is unnecessary and wrong.
- Because most medically advanced nations do not circumcise baby boys. People in Europe, Asia and Latin America are often appalled to hear that American doctors and hospitals remove part of a boy's penis shortly after birth. Approximately 75% of the men in the world are not circumcised and remain intact throughout their lives.
- Because caring for and cleaning the foreskin is easy. A natural, intact penis requires no special care, beyond gentle washing while bathing. Later, when the foreskin can be retracted (something that often does not occur until adolescence), a boy can be taught to pull back his foreskin to wash his penis. Forcible retraction of the foreskin results in pain and injury, and should not be done. Read our Foreskin Care flyer for more information.
- Because circumcision does not prevent HIV or other diseases. Over the years, the claims that circumcision prevents various diseases have repeatedly been proven to be exaggerated or outright fabrications. Most men in the United States are circumcised, but our STD rates are as high as or higher than those in countries where circumcision is rare.
- Because children should be protected from permanent bodily alteration inflicted on them without their consent in the name of culture, religion, profit, or parental preference. Under accepted bioethical principles, parents can consent to surgery on behalf of a child only if it is necessary to protect the child's life or health. "Routine" circumcision fails this test because it painfully and permanently removes a normal and healthy part of a boy's penis, does not protect the child's life or health, and in fact creates new risks. Removing the foreskin is no more justified than removing a finger or any other healthy body part.
