Shahida Rahman's intricate novel beginning in India is full of pathos, grief and struggle from the onset.
We are introduced to orphans Ayan and his elder brother Kazi who suffers from cancer.
These siblings are constantly reminded by their mission teachers of their low caste background and how their aim in life should be to become 'respectable.' With a 'fortune favours the brave' rhetoric, it is his brother's illness that motivates Ayan to join the seaman as his father did, in a glorified bid to earn money and better his brother's health.
Yet once aboard The Bengal, Rahman's lyrical prose superbly captures the brutal realities of working aboard the ship. 'The white men believed that the blacks were animals who merely looked more like people than monkeys and Lascars were only things to be valued for the strength in their backs and shoulders, void of a mind or spirit'.
Marvellously acute in its attention aboard the ship, author Rahman, a descendent of one of the early Lascars to work aboard the British steamships of the 19th century explores the turpitude of the naval supervisors who were more than willing to whip their ample and easily reached victims.
'It cut deep ribbons in a man's back that burned when sweat and dirt filled the bloody mess.' And whilst punishments proved gruelling enough, Lascars were unscrupulously subjected to hazardous conditions and many died by falling against the burning hot steel in the engine room, 'hot enough to remove the flesh from ones bones.'
Or from infected wounds which led to 'a fever following the seeping, then the screams and delirium and finally, death'.
Circumstances challenge Ayan's morals yet allow him to sensationally escape The Bengal.
It is a series of events and tribulations that lead him to London, and to his fundamental source of happiness. The charming yet doomed relationship with the rebellious Phoebe, the niece of his former employer, who saw no difference in his skin colour, who defied conventional morality and sought emancipation by refusing to marry.
'Ayan…had new respect as the servant of a young Lady…He attempted to reveal his affection for this woman, in a harmless way.
'Apparently this flirting business required a level of finesse that he did not possess...Ayan refused to think of the consequences, except to remind himself that the penalty for a darkie who even touched a white woman was death.' A declaration of their relationship results in encompassing social diatribes and being ostracised in the most austere manner. The reader gets a sense of Thomas Hardy's angst filled Jude and his 'sinful' and unacceptable relationship with his cousin Sue.
The book gives intensely credible life to its protagonist Ayan who lacked opportunity or social growth in London due to being a 'darkie'. And despite enduring an unfair prison sentence he does not indulge in self pity.
Incredibly, he never allowed his faith to waver, even when confronted with the logic of a Hindu from Calcutta also making ends meet on the streets of London.
"The English favour their Prophet Jesus above all. It is easier to live as a Christian. Not only does their charity increase for those who follow their religion, but their favour increases...I make baskets and the Christians buy them for charity sake. I receive alms from the Church each day, and scraps from the kitchens. And, on Christmas, I receive a meal. I do not see your Allah taking care of you as well."
Meticulously researched, Lascar delves into the trajectory of one man's life which is reminiscent of a whole genre of men and their struggle for basic happiness, and the inability of individuals to surmount the social and psychological forces that determine their lives.
Rahman has produced an absorbing narrative that remains stamped on the readers mind.
LASCAR is available on Amazon, Waterstones, Blackwells, Book price £7.99.

The nicest, priciest, largest Korean car ever.
The Hyundai Equus targets the Mercedes-Benz S550 and the Lexus LS460. Hyundai's luxury boat, launched for 2011, is going after some of the biggest, swankiest, priciest sedans in the land. The rear-wheel-drive, V-8-powered Equus is based on the same bones as the Genesis, which is a size smaller and some $15,000 less expensive. All that cash here buys standard features such as navigation, Bluetooth, SiriusXM satellite radio, electronically controlled air springs, swiveling HID head-lamps, a rearview camera, a seventeen-speaker stereo, a massaging driver's seat, heated and cooled front seats, leather upholstery, a sunroof, lane-departure warning, and smart cruise control (phew!). Stepping up to the four-passenger Ultimate brings ventilated, massaging, and reclining rear seats with footrests; a DVD entertainment system; and a fridge for the rear quarters. The Equus doesn't come close to matching the driving dynamics — or the prestige and styling — of its German rivals, but it's thousands of dollars cheaper and offers a luxurious driving experience and a better warranty. All-wheel drive is absent, a shame given the Hyundai's recent injection of horsepower. Subjectively, the Equus doesn't feel quite up to spec with the usual suspects from Germany, but it compares favorably with the Lexus LS and easily overshadows the hoary Acura RL.

Whaling City Motors expanding at Colman and Broad
New London - Competition at the city's auto-dealer corner just turned up a notch.
Whaling City Motors, which had been deprived of a spot at the corner of Colman and Broad streets for more than two decades as competitors such as M.J. Sullivan and Girard gained more prominence, began a new era Tuesday by knocking down the former Meineke Car Care Center. The move will allow Whaling City to gain a foothold at the heavily traveled corner, giving the auto dealership a stronger presence and more space for new and used cars and trucks.
"It's going to look so much better," said Romana Strochlitz Primus, president of the auto dealership, as an excavator from Waterford-based Barberi Brothers Demolition crunched away at the Meineke facade.
It took only about two hours to bring down the Meineke building, which had been located at the corner of Broad and Colman since 1979.
Primus' father, Sigmund Strochlitz, had begun selling cars downtown on Main Street (now known as Eugene O'Neill Drive) in 1957, and moved the Whaling City dealership to its present location in 1967. Strochlitz was one of the first car dealers to recognize the Colman Street-Broad Street intersection as a great location, and others followed, making the corner today one of the top two in terms of sales throughout Connecticut, according to Chuck Primus, Whaling City's vice president.
But Strochlitz, who died in 2006, had one pet project that he never saw to completion: the acquisition of the Meineke property that would give Whaling City Motors more visibility from Colman Street.
"My dad really wanted this corner for years," Romana Primus said. "It's nice to complete his vision."
The former Meineke location, on one third of an acre, will allow Whaling City Motors to display about 35 new and used vehicles. The dealership sells Ford, Lincoln and Mazda cars and trucks.
Whaling City Motors currently has about 250 vehicles on two and a half acres. It just completed a renovation of its Mazda operation last year, and will soon begin work creating a new area to separate the Ford and Lincoln brands.
Denis Wickham, who owns the New London Meineke franchise along with others in Groton and Norwich, said he finally agreed to offer his prime corner location on a long-term lease to Whaling City Motors after finding a new location at 665 Broad St., in the former Midas car care center. The new location has six bays, versus the four at his previous spot, and it has a better waiting area for customers, he added.
Wickham said he converted a former 1950s gas station into the Meineke franchise, and it was a great location but always had limitations in terms of space.
"It's good for everybody," he said of his move and the decision to tear down the Meineke building to create a true auto-dealership corner. "This is the gateway to the city, and this (Meineke) was in the way, really."

As the trade deadline gets closer and closer, the rumors start flying faster and faster. Here's the latest update heading into Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline:
The Atlanta Hawks are interested in Washington Wizards veteran point guard Kirk Hinrich, according to league sources, but the Hawks are not willing to give Washington both a young player and a first-round pick for Hinrich, the Wizards' current asking price.
Atlanta is trying to convince Washington take back veteran Mike Bibby for Hinrich, pointing out the potential cap savings for the Wizards. Hinrich is scheduled to make $8 million next season, while Bibby only will make $6.2 million. Both would be entering the final year of their respective contracts next season. The Wizards, though, want to continue their youth movement–though Washington isn't interested in taking on the two years and $15.7 million that will be left on swingman Marvin Williams's contract after this season.
The Hawks are reluctant to put a first-round pick in the deal, especially considering the Wizards already got a first from Chicago last year when the Bulls traded Hinrich to Washington to clear salary cap space. The Wizards used that pick to select French big man Kevin Seraphin, who has played sporadically this season for Flip Saunders.

You think you do everything right. You stick to a lean diet and you go for runs and workouts in the gym. Still, the numbers on the scale won't budge. It's a frustrating experience many Americans go through during 'resolution season' when the damage from the holidays is supposed to get undone.
There can be multiple reasons for unsuccessful attempts at weight loss. Surprisingly, some of the most logical measures such as calorie restriction and fitness training can be among them. How is that possible?
"A healthy diet and consistent exercise are a safe bet at dropping pounds, yet research and evidence suggests that other factors may contribute to how easy it is for you to gain and lose weight," says Jenna Morris, a personal trainer and writer for Livestrong.com.
Of course, making changes to eating habits that resulted in weight gain may be necessary. But you should proceed with caution, warns Morris. "If you dip too far below your recommended daily intake, then you risk actually slowing your metabolism and making weight loss even more challenging."
If your weight loss efforts are too aggressive, you may deprive your body in unhealthy ways. A simultaneous reduction in calorie intake and increase in expenditure can cause you to burn valuable, metabolic-boosting muscle, which can make it harder to lose weight, warns Dr. Melina Jampolis, a physician nutrition specialist and contributor to CNNhealth.com.
Studies on the effects of different levels of exercising on weight loss have found that high-intensity training may not always produce the desired (or imagined) results. People who watch weight loss shows like "The Biggest Loser" on NBC often come to believe that exhausting workouts are the answer, when in fact moderate but consistent exercise routines have shown greater long-term success.
"People who exercise less may end up burning just enough calories to lose weight, but not enough to feel compelled to replace them, either by eating more or remain sedentary otherwise," said Dr. Mads Rosenkilde of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, the lead researcher in one of the studies. "Those who exercise a lot […] may feel more drained, which prompts them to compensate."
There can also be other factors involved such as interference from medications or medical conditions like an underactive thyroid gland or Cushing's syndrome. Or genetic components to weight and metabolism may play a role. There are hundreds of genes that are responsible for weight regulation, says Dr. Jampolis, many of which are designed for survival by preventing starvation. In our modern environment where food is plentiful, they still function, but often in the wrong way.
For healthy, lasting weight loss, she recommends introducing smaller changes over time. If you still can't lose weight, it might be better to just accept your current weight for the time being and focus on the prevention of more weight gain, which is for many a hard task in itself. But don't give up on your regular exercise routine, she advises. "It is much healthier to be fit and overweight than to be thin and inactive."

Teaching Naked:
How Moving Technology Out of Your Classroom Will Improve Student Learning
José Bowen
Dean, Meadows School of the Arts, Southern Methodist University
Date: September 11, 2013
Technology is changing higher education, but the greatest value of a physical university will remain its face-to-face (naked) interaction between faculty and students. The most important benefits to using technology occur outside of the classroom. New technology can increase student preparation and engagement between classes and create more time for the in-class dialogue that makes the campus experience worth the extra money it will always cost to deliver. Students already use online content, but need better ways to interact with material before every class by taking online quizzes, doing interactive online assignments, playing games, asking questions or working in online communities. By rethinking our assignments, use of technology and course design, we can create more class time for the activities and interactions that most spark the critical thinking and change of mental models we seek.

Hedda Sterne was the only woman in an iconic photograph of an otherwise very masculine group of artists — dubbed "The Irascibles" by a New York art critic — who defined mid-20th-century Modernism. The last surviving person in that photograph, which was pubished in Life magazine in 1951, she was 100 years old when she died at home in New York City on April 8.
A late arrival to the shoot, she was told to stand on a table and appears to tower over her male colleagues, who include Jimmy Ernst, Barnett Newman, James Brooks, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Willem de Kooning, Adolph Gottlieb, and Ad Reinhardt. The group had caused a stir by signing an open letter to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in protest of its policies on showing contemporary abstract artists.
She later told an interviewer from The New York Review of Books that her inclusion in the photo was a false gesture, because she was not an Abstract Expressionist, as the other artists came to be known, nor was she an "Irascible."
Not present in the photograph was her husband at the time, Saul Steinberg, a fellow artist and Romanian whom she married in 1944 and lived with for 16 years. The couple separated in 1961, but never divorced. They lived in Manhattan and in Springs, and she had her own place on Hog Creek Road from 1966 to 2004.
An earlier marriage, in 1932, to Frederick Stern, had ended in divorce. She kept his name, however, later adding an "E." Ms. Sterne's work ranged from Surrealist-inspired images in the early days of her career, to constructed compositions inspired by farm equipment or highways, to language-based paintings.
Dore Ashton, an art critic and professor at Cooper Union, noted on Tuesday that she was also a gifted portraitist who captured friends and colleagues in drawings and paintings. A show of her portrait drawings was exhibited at the Pollock-Krasner House in Springs in 2009.
Her late drawings, which she executed while she had failing eyesight, attempted to catch the unseen essence of things. "There was very little vestige of something concrete," her friend Edvard Lieber recalled on Tuesday. She called the lines she made with pencil and oil crayon as inlines rather than outlines. "I had never heard anyone describe something like that," he said. "She was describing the immaterial."
Hedda Linderberg was born on Aug. 4, 1910, in Bucharest to Simon and Eugenie Wexler Lindenberg. She took summer classes in Vienna and was a student of art history and philosophy at the University of Bucharest. She then studied painting in Paris in Fernand Leger's atelier and at the Académie de la Grande Chaumiere. She ended up in New York in the 1940s after barely escaping a raid by the Nazis on her house in Bucharest.
The association she began in Romania with the Surrealists continued in New York, where she was exhibited in a show of Surrealism for which André Breton and Marcel Duchamp served as curators. She continued to show throughout her life, but was overshadowed by the more outsized personalities and successes of many of her colleagues. From 1963 to 1964, she worked in Venice as the recipient of a Fulbright fellowship.
Ms. Ashton said that Ms. Sterne took advantage of East Hampton's unusual light in her work and was attuned to her environment. She was also a big reader, "an extraordinarily sensitive and cultured human being . . . one of the few and last grandes dames of New York."
Mr. Lieber remembered their regular dinners in East Hampton, to which she would occasionally also invite Elaine de Kooning or Ibram and Ernestine Lassaw. "She organized dinner like a Diaghilev ballet. Everything would be prepared, and she would keep a small pad nearby with topics of conversation and humorous things to keep the conversation buoyant. She always had knowledge of the latest writers and artists. She was always looking to the future. There was this constant sense of evolution about her."
He called her house and property an enchanting place where fog would roll in over a "panoramic meadow of wildflowers" as they sat watching on her Japanese-style porch.
In one of her notes to him, she described what it was like to follow her muse. "At times I have feelings of great despair and emptiness and doubts that taunt me. And yet, I would not exchange all of this for anything because my conscience tells me I am fulfilling my duty, obeying a decree of fate."
But for a niece who lives in Paris, Ms. Sterne left no survivors. A memorial service will be announced at a future date.

On 2 Jun 1937 my Aunt Helen Bulak boarded the M.S. Pilsudski, bound for Gdynia, Poland with a stop in Copenhagen, Denmark. The ship stopped in Copenhagen on 10 Jun 1937 and arrived in Gdynia on 11 Jun 1937. According to a brochure I have from the Gdynia-America Line, the ship sailed at 12:05 a.m. and left from the 6th St. Pier, in Hoboken, New Jersey. My aunt traveled "tourist class." A round trip tourist class ticket cost $274.00 during the "summer season" of 1937.

I just making board from poplar plywood about 400kg/m3 3x3mm because i didnt find balsa or pawlonia or red cedar (Please what it is pawlonian wood i cant find it in dictionary or wood atlas at this name). Board has about 1 cm continuos concave in middle and 0 at tip and rocker is 15 m diameter solid circle. It is 150 x 39 without flip tips and the core weight about 2kg. I now laminate it with carbon kevlar so i quest it will be weight under 3 kg board only . I built for this template from wood and gypsum bottom and top like form so i make blank very easy only laminate and put in the template and wait. It works great. My question: Can i use same rocker diameter with board with different lenght? For example 150 and 120 cm. With 15 m diameter this means 3,7 cm rocker on 150 and 2,3 cm rocker on 120.When yes i need only one template (form) and then i make it from beton.
And my second question how rocker diameter use you? I mean desired rocker on board not diameter on template.
Thanks you very much
And please sorry for my bad english

On March 29th, David Meerman Scott wrote a blog post called "Brand Journalism," where he discussed the communications skills companies must acquire in order to excel in the online world. The post reminded me of one that I wrote about Mike Santarini, a displaced trade journalist hired by FPGA manufacturer Xilinx. David's post prompted me to follow-up with Mike to learn what it has been like being an embedded journalist for the past two years.

Mike Santarini spent 13-years writing for trade magazines such as EETimes and EDN before being laid off in February 2008. At first glance, his story sounds cliche–experienced journalist caught in the cross hairs of a decimated print industry–but that's where Mike's story takes an unexpected turn. Instead of finding a job with another struggling publication, he accepted one with an electronics company that he covered as a trade journalist. One week after his unceremonious ejection from EDN, Xilinx hired Mike to take over the manufacturer's 21 year old publication called Xcell Journal.
Mike The Embedded Journalist
During its 21 years, Xcell Journal grew from a simple company newsletter into a quarterly "engingeering-practical" magazine with a readership of approximately 40,000. Although that circulation sounds envious, as a trade journalist, Mike understood that the quality of that number was very important and so, after a little investigating, he found that the Xcell Journal mailing list "…wasn't being scrubbed, and it was being sent to dead mailboxes at the four corners of the earth." After some vetting, today, the magazine has tightened its circulation to approximately 25,000 (~20K online and ~5K print).
I found it curious that, in the age of online content, Xilinx would still print hard copies of the magazine.
Mike explained that Xcell Journal is designed as a magazine that engineers can retain for reference. By printing Xcell Journal on high quality, "heavy cardboardish" stock, the print version delivers a rich reading experience.
The comment reminded me of Seth Godin's concept that "books are souvenirs," which Mike validated when he said, "Xcell is a treasured commodity. Engineers are known to keep a library of past issues that they use for reference."
But if only 20% of the readership receive copies of the print version, how does Xilinx qualify these special recipients?
"Through the sales department," Mike explained. "It's a great model because we're getting ROI on the print versions and getting them into the hands of our customers/potential customers."
Journalist vs. Embedded Journalist
Moving from traditional journalist to embedded journalist has been educational. "There's a lot of stuff I didn't know about the company," he said. "I now have respect for the humongous effort it takes to get a chip conceived, roadmapped, designed and brought to market." This revelation surprised him because, as a journalist who covered Xilinx, he expected to know more. However, by being embedded within a company, Mike had access to stories that he never could have as an external journalist.
Embedded Journalism as a Career
I asked Mike if he would recommend this line of work for other journalists.
"Yes. Right now there are lots of opportunities for good journalism in industries." He also added a few caveats.
"You have to make sure before you take the job that the company is creating technology that you truly think is innovative. I got lucky because I joined a company that invented the FPGA and is the leader in the biz and has a very bright future. I'm not sure if I was in a position where I had to promote a third-place me-too technology and constantly perfume the pig that I'd take the job. I think there are a lot of great technologies and companies out there and thus a lot of great opportunities out there for embedded journalists. There are a ton of great stories that aren't getting told and sometimes companies don't realize they have a great story or realize it isn't being told to the outside world."
A New World
At the end of the phone call, I asked Mike if his experience as an embedded journalist has been favorable. "Yes," he answered, before adding something more interesting.
"In a way, I can't go back because of it."

It's a general matter of course in any given year that as Thanksgiving draws ever closer, more than a few Linux bloggers begin to wax sentimental about their favorite operating system, often recounting all the many reasons they're thankful it exists. It is the start of the season of thankfulness, after all. Well, perhaps it's the recent presidential elections or -- even more so -- perhaps it's the fact that a sizable part of the country is preoccupied by a desire to divorce Uncle Sam. In any case, this year, the usual pattern doesn't seem to have happened.

Talk amongst yourselves while we figure out what will entertain.
Edit: Well that didn't take long... the MZone had not returned when this story was written in August -- but it is timeless in the message.
Behold the story of dueling protests outside of Columbus between a strip club and a fundamentalist church:
The strippers, fueled by Cheetos and nicotine, are protesting a fundamental Christian church whose Bible-brandishing congregants have picketed the club where they work.........It's here where dancers strip down to panties and pasties for cash. Meske -- a tattooed mother of four -- said she made $30 instead of a couple hundred dollars last Friday with the protesters outside."I'm not the most beautiful woman in the world," she said. "I go out there and I try to make my money."
The only thing I have to say is: Thank God for Fox News Ohio.

In partnership with
Beatrice, Alabama
J.F. Shields High School
In the letters that accompanied Michael Temperos nomination as a Young Hero, the writers repeatedly commented on the qualities of his character. Nominator Enoch Salter, a history teacher at J.F. Shields High School, wrote, Before coming into the teaching field, I have never encountered a young person with so much courage, stability and patience.
Teacher Sharrissa Cook said, Michael is a young man with an exceptional personality and for Michael, failure or defeat is not an optiononly motivation.
Principal Marion McIntosh wrote, If all the young men of the world were of Michaels caliber, our future would certainly be in good hands.
Like many others, Michael grew up in a family surviving on little income and, at times, no income. His teachers intervened when he was mocked and bullied for not having the financial resources of his classmates. Michaels kindness to others masked struggles with domestic violence in his own home. It was heartbreaking to hear that such a bright and kind student was going through that, wrote Mr. Salter, It was also surprising because Michaels kind, disciplined and humble spirit remained the same.
It was necessary for Michael to take on adult family responsibilities at a young age. In addition to his community and academic endeavors, he works weekends to help his family pay the bills. Despite these responsibilities, Michael maintains his grades and has earned much recognition for his performing excellence in all subjects. He is always on the A Honor Roll. He serves as the president of his class, as well as president of the Beta Club. Michael plays varsity basketball and belongs to many school organizations including the Spanish Club, Family Community Career Leadership America, and SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving.)
Among his many endeavors, Michael supports the community through volunteer work with the Red Cross and a local food bank. He serves as a volunteer tutor/mentor in his neighborhood. In fact, Michael has been honored with the Presidential Volunteer Service Award. He is an active member of his church. Mr. Salter wrote of him, Michael is passionate about portraying humility, kindness and charity to others. He attributes these character traits to his strong faith and close relationship with God.
Michael has expressed an interest in attending college to become a computer/electrical engineer. To this end, he was selected to attend the Nanoscience and Engineering Summer Internship at the University of Alabama the summer after his junior year of high school.

Grease Selection for Rolling Element Bearings
Date/Time: Thursday, November 7, 2013, 12-1 p.m.
Instructor: Dr. Paul Shiller, Professor, University of Akron
Overview: Due to their availability and ease of installation and maintenance, ball or roller bearings are widely used in a broad variety of machines and equipment. Consequently, design and maintenance personnel, as well as lubricant suppliers, are often confronted with need for some knowledge of their theory and application. Accordingly, this webinar will review the basics of grease selection from a basic evaluation to determine the best choice in viscosity and thickener to other application considerations that need to be addressed. The webinar will then discuss some ideas of selecting greases based on current marketing literature.
The webinar will cover:
• Why bearings fail
• Why oils?
• Oil or Grease?
• Choosing an oil viscosity
• Choosing a base oil
• Choosing a thickener
• Other application considerations
• Sifting through the marketing information
Cost: $39 for members; $59 for non-members

|Degrassi: The Next Generation
"Joey Jeremiah spends his summer dating Caitlin, and fucking Tessa!!"
School's Out! is a 1992 TV movie featuring the characters of the immensely popular Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High television series. The show's longtime team of writers filmed this feature length movie during the summer of 1991 to be shown on CBC Television during the new year. Initially, the movie was intended to wrap up the entire Degrassi saga, but in 2001, Degrassi: The Next Generation gave the Degrassi series a revival.
It is graduation time for the gang at Degrassi High, and everyone is making plans for the summer and their future. Most are preparing for university or far-off travel except for Joey Jeremiah who is preparing for another year in high school. His longtime girlfriend Caitlin Ryan has taken a number of extra classes and completed high school in three years and has graduated with Joey's former peers.
Eager to hold on to her before she leaves for university to study journalism, Joey proposes to Caitlin at a graduation party hosted by Lucy Fernandez. Caitlin demurs, explaining that she is not ready for that kind of commitment. Joey storms out, only to run into classmate Tessa Campanelli fresh from an argument with her boyfriend Todd, and agrees to give her a ride home.
Arriving at the Campanelli house, Tessa pulls Joey toward her for a kiss. The next day, on a break from the photo shop where she works, Tessa visits Joey next door at the drug store where he works and asks him on a date. Joey, though initially hesitant, accepts Tessa's offer, has a great time, and, as he tells Wheels the next day, gets to third base. Tessa confides in her co-worker, Spike, the details of the relationship. Spike reminds her that Joey and Caitlin have a pattern of breaking up and reuniting. Tessa rejects Spike's argument, noting that Caitlin will be leaving for university in a matter of weeks anyway. With Caitlin working most evenings and weekends and Joey working days, they spend little time together and Joey starts seeing Tessa more frequently and they soon go all the way. As the summer goes on, Joey sees both Tessa and Caitlin with neither realizing he is dating them both.
By the middle of August, Tessa discovers she is pregnant and decides to have an abortion. When she realizes that Joey is still with Caitlin with no intention of breaking up with her, she dumps him. Joey and Caitlin finally make love on his nineteenth birthday, approximately a week before Caitlin, Lucy, and Snake are all scheduled to depart for university. It's Caitlin's first time, though she is unaware that it is not Joey's. Unbeknownst to Joey, Caitlin has decided to attend a local university in order to remain close to him.
The next day, at a lake house party, hosted by Lucy's boyfriend Bronco Davis, Caitlin accepts Joey's earlier marriage proposal. Joey, who had been teasing Snake all summer about his inability to get a girlfriend brags once more about his abilities with women. Snake finally lashes out at Joey for all the teasing and blurts out about him sleeping with Tessa. Caitlin overhears and confronts Joey about it. She storms out after breaking off their engagement and telling Joey of her would-be plans to study locally in order to be with him. Immediately after unintentionally breaking up Joey and Caitlin, Snake realizes that former classmate Allison Hunter is drowning and rushes in to the lake to rescue her. Everyone congratulates him for saving her life, but he breaks down in a flood of emotion and anxiety.Wheels, who had been drinking heavily, leaves the party with Lucy to get more chips but ends up crashing into another car. The crash kills a two-year-old boy in the other car, and seriously injures Lucy. The next day, Joey visits Wheels in jail, where Wheels tells him he has been charged with one count of criminal negligence causing death, two counts of criminal negligence causing injury, and drunk driving. He asserts that it was not his fault that the child was not wearing a seatbelt or that Lucy wanted to get more chips. Caitlin visits Lucy at the hospital where she is immobilized and unsure if she will ever see or walk again. Later, Joey stops to see Snake as he prepares to leave for university and asks why he won't accept Wheels' phone calls. Snake is disgusted by Wheels, particularly in light of Wheels having lost his own parents to a drunk driver. He apologizes to Joey for saying what he said at Bronco's place. Joey accepts his apology saying that Caitlin would have found out sooner or later.
Two months later, most of the gang get together for the wedding of Alexa Pappadopolos and Simon Dexter. Absent are Wheels, Erica, and Lucy. Wheels, still incarcerated, is planning to plead guilty for his crimes. Erica is teaching abroad in the Dominican Republic and has met a new boyfriend in the process. Meanwhile, Lucy has since regained vision in one of her eyes but is still not well enough to attend the wedding. Snake is accompanied by his girlfriend Pam whom he met at university, and he appears considerably more self-assured; he is still vocally disgusted by Wheels. Both Snake and Caitlin are receptive to Joey's apologies for the way he had behaved toward them. Joey and Snake make plans to hang out before he goes back to university, and as Simon and Alexa have their first dance as husband and wife, former fiancés Joey and Caitlin share a dance as friends. He predicts that she will be famous in the future.

- Lucy was in the vehicle and became temporarily blind from the incident.

The real estate market of Downtown Brickell has experienced consistently high growth figures, for the past several years, these growth figures have consistently hovered around double digit figures. This has also led to an unprecedented boom, in the construction of condominiums in this region. The good news for North Brickell real estate investors is that the condominiums continue to sell at the same unprecedented rates, at which they are being constructed. In fact there are frequent instances of condominiums selling out completely within a few days.
The rate at which urban redevelopment and transformation is undergoing currently at Downtown Miami, is going to turn it into an entirely different and maybe unrecognizable city in a few years. Real estate pundits have predicted that over the next ten years, the Greater Miami real estate market would witness the introduction of about 90 new, high-end, Miami condo buildings.
They will come up chiefly in areas such as Downtown Miami, Brickell, the Miami Design District, Brickell Keys, Wynwood, Edgewater, and Coral Gables. Apart from that, there are projects that involve the construction of promenades, shopping centers, offices and condos which are contributing heavily to giving an entirely new look to the Miami North Brickell real estate market.
Renting an Apartment in Miami
If you would like to invest in condominiums in Downtown Miami area, then irrespective of the fact, whether you are new in the market or you are an experienced investor, you should consult professionals who have the expertise and background, as well as extensive resources that would help you achieve your real estate goals. However, finding a real estate agent who has the experience and skills, required to help you achieve your goals, can turn out to be as challenging a process, as the buying of your home. You should look for a real estate agent who can offer you a full range of real estate and other associated services, which can be customized to meet varying requirements of individual clients.
A well established real estate agent in North Brickell can also help you in selling your property, as they would have a well connected international network of eligible buyers, and they would be able to market your Miami condo to this huge network of willing buyers.
Brickell Condos, a Great Place to Live
The Miami condo market is very diverse and offers a large number of different solutions for those interested in purchasing or renting a condo. People from all over the world are attracted to the vibrant Miami area and its supreme climate for relocation. Miami condos are also popular among vacationers as well as investors. The recent decrease of the dollar value on the international market has made Miami condos an even more interesting option for many Europeans looking for a home away from home, a place in which to retire or just a good investment.
Location, location, location - is the mantra of the real estate business. This is naturally true for Miami real estate as well. The beach front condos are the most popular ones and consequently the most expensive ones to obtain. Just by choosing a condo a few blocks away from the beach you can save huge amounts of money. A Miami ocean view is astonishing, but certainly not for free when we're talking real estate. South Beach is one of the most popular areas of the Miami condo market, not only due to its proximity to the ocean but to its famous nightlife and gastronomic scene as well.
Another highly esteemed part of Miami is the Brickell neighborhood. The Brickell region is commonly referred to as "the Wall Street of the South" and the condominium towers share the space with over 60 commercial banks. This area is typically marketed as a more strict and upscale alternative to South Beach; a neighborhood ideal for those who prefer a downtown environment instead of a sandy beach. The Brickell community is inhabited by people who want to avoid long hours of commuting.
In Brickell it is possible to be close to work as well as to downtown entertainment, but still live in a relaxed area suitable for recreation. The fact that popular South Beach restaurants are beginning to setup finials in Brickell is only one of the signs that predicts how Brickell will turn into an even more sought for area in the future. Three years ago it was possible to buy one of the smaller condos in Brickell for $115,000. Today you must be prepared to pay at least $200,000 for the same condo. The condos in Brickell are however still very reasonably priced compared to the condos located at Miami Beach. A Miami Beach condo of the same type as the $200,000 Brickell condo would cost you at least $500,000.
When buyers are forced to pay ever increasing amounts of money for a tiny ocean front condo, they want to feel that they are getting supreme quality for their money in terms of style and amenities. Installing exclusive features, such as a Jacuzzi, will still only have a marginal affect on the price of the condo. On Miami Beach the largest part of the price is defined by the much sought after location of the property. Some of the most expensive condos on the Miami condo market can today be found in The Miami Four Season Residences. In the year 2005, this condominium complex offered condos priced from slightly below $ 700,000 and up to above $ 6 million. A lot of these condos are fashioned in a chic Euro style manner and have access to wine and cigar lounges, a health Spa, exclusive gyms and other selected services.
Florida is a popular state to live in, but no other city in Florida experienced the same remarkable surge for condos during the last few years as Miami. Some prospective buyers hope that the prices will drop when all the projects have finally settled. Estimations show that more than 50,000 condos will be added to the Miami condo market within the next 10 years. In downtown Miami a 35 story condominium tower named the Avenue is planned to be completed in 2007, and will add 570 condos to the Miami condo market.
The Avenue is accompanied by more than 70 other condo developments in the area. One of the larger projects in Brickell, the Mary Brickell Village, is believed to be completed by the end of 2006 and will then provide the Brickell neighborhood with a large number of new luxury condos. This could cause the prices to stabilize in Brickell, but don't count on it. The completion of two other major condo projects in the Brickell region, the Plaza and Neo Lofts, did not cause the prices to plummet - quite the contrary.

The history of Weller Hardware dates back to 1873. At that time, Henry Winter and his son William built a frame building at the corner of E. 12th and 1 S. Main in Clintonville, Waupaca Co., WI. The building contained a hardware store and tin shop. In 1884, this building was destroyed by fire and the Winters constructed the building which exists today, except for a new front was built in 1928.
Frank Weller (my great grandfather) came to Clintonville in 1908, after selling his farm in the Town of Little Wolf in Waupaca Co. He came with the intention of retiring. But he couldn't take retirement and purchased a farm. In November of 1916, he had sold the farm and purchased H. Winter and Son Hardware.
Frank and his oldest son, Henry, operated Frank Weller Hardware Co. until 1922 when Russell, my grandfather, graduated from high school and came to work with his father. Frank Weller died in December of 1935 and Russell operated Weller Hardware until 1972, when he retired and sold the store. Both my dad and his brother worked in the hardware store.
We didn't live near Wisconsin when growing up so visits with our grandparents were pretty rare. When we did visit in the summer, my parents would drop us kids off at Grandpa's store and they'd continue a couple of blocks to Grandma and Grandpa's house. We'd get to enjoy the rest of the afternoon with Grandpa.
The store had a garage on the side of the building on 12th Street. Grandpa would park his car there and go in through the back. The garage was very small and his car barely fit through the door. He had a little office in the back of the store. I also remember going down into the damp basement that was used for storage.
Clintonville is a very small rural town with a population of about 4,000 people. Weller Hardware was a classic small town hardware store. The wood floors creaked and there was that unforgettable "hardware" smell inside.
He sold everything it seemed, from fishing tackle to bicycles, and every hardware item you could think of. Those were the days when everything wasn't prepacked. I remember the bins full of every nail, screw, nut and bolt you could think of. I still have my little red wagon that we bought from the store. Even though I was young when Grandpa had his store, I have great memories of spending time there.
The building currently is the home of Zaddack & Associates Financial Group.

Last night, the world lost one of its best people. My grandma, Christina Richards, was...well...it's hard to find words. She lived by the words of two books, The Bible and The Power of Positive Thinking. I think that's the magic combination that allowed her to live, against all odds, until she was almost 97.
As I looked through the pictures of I have of her, I was disappointed to find they're all from the last few years (since I've had a digital camera), and do not show the woman I remember. Grandma didn't always sit in a wheelchair, oxygen tank and old-lady sweater ever present. Grandma didn't always look like she was about to blow away.
Grandma with Hannah and Lydia
Looking back, the Grandma I think about is the one who used make the best after school snacks: strawberries dipped in powdered sugar, marshmallows melted in the toaster oven, and ice cream bon bons.
Grandma, Dad, and me at Grandma's 80th birthday in 1996
I think of the 82 year old who willing took me into her house when I was a teenager, making pancakes for supper, driving me to football games, and patiently sitting by while I spent hours on the phone trying to negotiate school dances. (Can you believe she never said a word? That must have taken some restraint.)
Richards family reunion in the early 90s
I think of the woman who, every time we went out to eat in our small hometown, had someone come over to our table and remind her that she was their seventh grade teacher. Or that they used to work for her at the family-owned Dairy Queen. Grandma knew everyone in town. She knew my friends' grandparents, and called my teachers by their maiden names.
Grandma and her BFF, Jean at Grandma's 90th birthday
I think of her telling me I could be excused from washing the dinner dishes if I would practice the piano while she washed up. (Worked every time, by the way.)
When I was small, and we'd go to Grandma's house for Sunday supper, she would always make a pan of Pillsbury rolls. I'd eat as many as my mom would let me get away with - three or more. Grandma would pat her tummy and say, "Look at all these rolls." I'd think if I ate enough rolls, I'd have a wonderful soft tummy just like she did. (That worked too.)
More Richards, at Jonathan's and my wedding
I think about when Jonathan were in need, she opened her home to me again, this time with husband and 6 month old Hannah in tow.
Grandma and Hannah, the first time they met
And by now, she was in her 90's. But what a wonderful person to share the first months of our baby's life with...Grandma was there the first time Hannah rolled over,
Some of Hannah's first steps
for the first tentative steps across the living room, and for those precious first words. Hannah thought Grandma's walker was there for her amusement, and knew that Grandma would give her sips from her own cup, always filled with ice water.
My grandma taught me the power of daily prayer and Bible study. Quietly and unassumingly, she showed me the important roll faith plays in one's life.
Jonathan's and my graduation from seminary
She showed me the importance of being surrounded by church community; that you can't do it alone.
Grandma's pastor and the two of us at my ordination as a minister
More than anyone else, Grandma planted in me the seeds of faith that have flowered into a vocation of ministry. What a gift to give, and I thank her for it.
You fought the good fight, Grandma. You finished your race. You kept the faith. And now you're home.

A Stroudsburg real estate investor said that he accidentally shot himself May 2 in his North Fifth Street home, though Stroud Area Regional Police said their investigation is continuing.
A Stroudsburg real estate investor said that he accidentally shot himself May 2 in his North Fifth Street home, though Stroud Area Regional Police said their investigation is continuing.
Michael Price, 36, was driven by his girlfriend to Pocono Medical Center and was back home with his left arm in a sling.
"I don't want people thinking someone else shot me," Price said. "Police saw no signs of forced entry when they came here. I told them this was an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound. I don't know why they've put it out to the media and public that it was anything other than that."
Price said he and his girlfriend were cleaning up around the house May 2, a day after returning from a trip. He said they were cleaning his girlfriend's two guns, a shotgun and a handgun.
Price said he went to lie down on the right side of their bed in the afternoon.
"We must have forgotten that we'd left the handgun loaded and on the bed," he said.
The gun was in the fold of the bed cover, by the pillows, and therefore not visible, Price said. He lay on top of it without being aware.
"I went to reach over toward the night stand to get something," he said. "That must have jerked the trigger, because that's when the gun went off."
The bullet went into his left armpit and up through his left shoulder, breaking his humerus bone.
"You can see the gunshot residue from the two holes the bullet made in the fold of the bed cover," Price said. "There's none on me or my girlfriend."
Price said he managed to go with his girlfriend to the garage, where she opened the door. His girlfriend then drove him to the hospital, where police later interviewed him.
"The police just kept pressing and pressing me, but I was in too much pain and shock to answer," he said. "I did tell them by the end of the day, when I was more coherent, that I had accidentally shot myself. But, maybe because I couldn't answer them right away, they thought I wasn't being cooperative, got angry and decided to make it seem like something else in the news the next day. Who knows?"
Stroud Area Regional Police Capt. Brian Kimmins said they are investigating inconsistencies in Price's statements, but declined to give details.

KABUL – A suicide bomber on foot killed a security guard and wounded four civilians outside a hospital in northern Kabul on Thursday, officials said, while roadside bombs killed five Afghan soldiers elsewhere in the country.
The attacker struck a compound belonging to the minority Ismaili community, who make up a branch of Shiite Islam. The compound houses a cultural centre, library and a hospital.
Sayed Gul Agha Hashimi, the head of the Kabul Criminal Investigation Department, initially said the hospital was the target of the attack.
It was unclear why the compound was targeted.
Shortly after the blast, blood was spattered on nearby windows and broken glass was scattered on the ground.
Hashimi said that in addition to the bomber, a security guard was killed and that police were searching the hospital.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which was condemned by Afghanistan's Ministry of the Interior.
The ministry called the security guard — who died trying to tackle the bomber — a hero.
Also Thursday, Afghanistan's Ministry of Defence said that five soldiers had died in two separate roadside bomb incidents over the past 24 hours.
Three soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb in southwestern Nimruz Province and two were killed in southern Helmand Province, the ministry said. It did not provide further details.

"[They have] been a source of strength, comfort and solace to the scores of worshipers who have for over nine decades entered Temple Israel, to come together as a united family, in both good times and difficult times," read a Temple Israel press release.
Though he said that he is grateful for the opportunity to visit the White House, his thoughts will remain on Long Beach while he is away. He said that he is looking forward to the change of scenery, but explained that he expects he will feel a sense of guilt to be honored while others' efforts remain unrecognized.
"What about all of the other worthy people?" he said.
But Bauman plans to take advantage of the occasion to promote his congregation and community. Before the party, he will meet with members of the press to share Temple Israel and Long Beach's story. Bauman said that he is, of course, excited to meet the president, and as a reserve chaplain in the Navy and the Marine Corps, the visit has taken on added significance.
"To go there in dress uniform, engage in proper salute and protocol with the highest ranking officials," he said, "It's a once in a lifetime opportunity."

A note on Facebook was posted one hour ago by Ossama Dorra in which he says that he is now agnostic and that he doesn't derive his morals from Islam anymore .. its going viral as we speak.
in short he says that the rise of the Islamists to power and hearing their philosophy in life made him denounce Islam as his religion.
He says that he was surprised to know that those who insult the prophet must die and he realized because of the riot following the movie "innocence of Islam"
He says that he was shocked to know that Islam allows the marriage of premature girls aka legalizes pedophilia.
He says that he never knew that Islam allowed slavery and didn't forbid it .. he didn't know that there are Islamic nations like Mauritania where slavery is still legal till now because Islam never ended it as he thought.
He was surprised by many things that made him realize that he was following a religion that isn't morally on the right path.
I'd like to say that the shock is really mine because Ossama was a devoted Muslim and even was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood (now an ex for sure) and didn't even read a decent biography of Muhammad or even a read the Sharia laws and how they were derived.
I'm really shocked that he never knew that Muhammad married a 9 years old child .. never knew that Muhammad told muslims to kill those who insult him .. and finally didn't know that Muhammad died while having slaves serving him
I'm really shocked by the amount of deception and delusion he was in.
The good thing is that he came up with his full name and ID and also he tagged many of the Islamists and clerics like Heba Raouf and Al-Habib Aly El-Javry .. i wonder what will they say about tha .. i also wonder if there will be any actions taken against him for Blasphemy !?
There are some funny comments as well :))
here is a link to his note .. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10151108379226200#10151108444916200
Views: 272
Honestly i never knew this guy before and the profile can be fake too.. but if true well then good one more found his way to reason
have u noticed the comments .. no one is addressing the points he raised .. almost 500 comments with nothing to say
i'm really liking this guy .. he's not fake btw :)
they never address the points, true believers indeed :)
I don't know who you guys are talking about, but let me tell you a story. Back in the 1970's a large group of Americans protested Nixon's war policies in Viet Nam, so Nixon sent young FBI agents in to infiltrate those groups and see if there was anything any of them could be arrested for. Eventually, they couldn't be sure to trust anyone, which helped to weaken their unity.
You've GOT to trust someone, but be careful. My thoughts are that your new President is trying to decide how far he can go without arousing negative public opinion around the world.
That's why im not pro going publicly yet .. the society ain't ready yet.
Ossama Dorra was supposed to appear on CBC Egyptian TV channel to debate with a shiekh and discuss his decision to leave Islam .. but that changed in the last minutes now the shiekh appears solely on TV and show is about " the disease of atheism and how to fight it" .. The disease they said.
and of course he won't reply to any of the points Ossama raised.
The Islamic Brotherhood is trying to turn Egypt into an Islamic theocracy, and if the attempt tp abrogate the Egyptian treaty with Israel wasn't proof enough, I don't know what it would take. You guys are there, I'm not - what can be done?
Islamists are trying to solidify the Middle East into a solid Islamic block.
well .. the good thing is now Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Dennet are known to the common people and their names circulates a lot in the media when they discuss atheism.
The bad thing is that it appears like a foreign intruder, an idea from an outsider, not as an original idea originating from the arabic/islamic environment where it developed and evolved.
What to be done at the moment is to watch carefully everything that happens acting like watch dogs who bark at anything that looks suspicious and point at every change towards a theocratic state.
people are questioning everything now ... the change is coming.
Let's just hope it's not in the direction to tighter religious restrictions.
Ossama wrote a second post here .. he is now bashing those so called moderate muslims for being soft on the fundamentalists :))
The comments are much more mature this time .. so far so good
To bad there's no translation software.
