So you know when they say "Front-Fastening Lace Bra", what they actually mean, the more important little bit of info, perhaps, ahem, what they should actually call it is: "Front UN-Fastening Lace Bra". Because, sure, with a bra this subtly gorgeous, all edgy leather-effect trim and feminine floral lace, it's pretty fun to put it on, but it's REALLY fun to take it off. Take note.

Whether you're eloping or staging a hometown pageant of a wedding, this gorgeous gathered tulle and beaded French lace garter is perfect for whatever kind of bride you are.
Silk-satin and stunning mesh make up this incredibly sexy peek-a-boo plunge bra. Edgy and totally wearable, this vertigo inducing panelled bra is the definition of sexy.
Like Mlle. Anais, this is perfectly revealing, utterly, powerfully erotic, divinely feminine, and a little taboo for the times. We can't wait to write about it in our diaries.

I have chosen a Mohs surgeon, and she has given me a list of plastic surgeons they work with to do the repair (I have basal cell carcinoma morpheaform on my cheek). What questions should I be asking re: choosing the best doctor?
How Can I Evaluate Which Plastic Surgeon to Choose to Perform my Mohs Surgery Repair?
Doctor Answers (12)
Choosing the Best Doctor for Reconstruction
Since your Mohs surgeon is giving you the names of several plastic surgeons, I assume that you or she is not comfortable with her performing the reconstructive surgery. That's fine, but in particular Mohs surgeons who have completed a fellowship in Mohs surgery through the American College of Mohs Surgery and are members of that organization are generally well trained to perform the repair. If you or she would prefer a plastic surgeon, I would recommend that you ask her for guidance to narrow the list and then meet one or two of the doctors and discuss their training and experience. You want somebody who performs a great deal of reconstruction after skin cancer surgery. Different doctors have different degrees of experience performing repairs. Some plastic surgeons may focus primarily on cosmetic procedures such as facelifts, breast augmentations, etc and do little reconstruction and some perform a larger number of reconstructions following skin cancer surgery, etc. Remember, whoever performs your surgery will leave a scar. You can't perform surgery on the skin without leaving a scar. You want somebody who is well trained and experienced in hiding the scar as well as possible. You want to pick who you think will give you the best scar the first time around. Good luck.

Mohs Surgery and Repair
The best resources for referrals and recommendations are from the doctors who are doing the referrals themselves. None of us want to refer a patient or family member to someone who will not do the best job possible. A well trained and experienced Mohs surgeon is probably doing 90% or more of his/her own repairs and will reserve the referrals to plastics or oculoplastics when they know the repair will be extensive or require multiple steps to recreate a facial structure. Start off with a Mohs Surgeon who is a Fellow in the ACMS and go from there.
How Can I Evaluate Which Plastic Surgeon to Choose to Perform my Mohs Surgery Repair
I would seek out a board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon and then ensure that they perform alot of Mohs reconstruction. You will also want to ask how often they repair defects in the area where you will need repair (nose, lip, eyelid, cheek, etc). You should also look at before and after photos on their website or in their office photo books. Your dermatologist might also give you some advice regarding who does the best work for the type of defect you need repaired. I hope this information is helpful.

Choosing a Mohs Surgeon
Thank you for your question. Some Mohs surgeons elect to perform their own closures after excision of the tumor, and some elect to have the closure done in conjunction with an outside surgeon. Typically, if a surgeon is referring a patient after cancer excision for wound closure, they have worked with that specific surgeon before and are happy with the collegial relationship and cosmetic results (and hence the referral). As a patient, I would recommend visiting and meeting with potential plastic surgeons that the Mohs surgeon may consider sending you to for closure, so that you are also comfortable with their bedside manner and recommendations for aftercare. I hope this helps.
Removing skin cancers - Los Angeles
I often work alongside other skin cancer specialists to remove and reconstruct defects from skin cancer excision. Find a qualified surgeon whom you trust and have a good rapport with. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles
Web reference: http://surgery90210.com/cosmetic-dermatology/27/skin-cancer.aspx
How do I choose a Plastic Surgeon to perform a complex Moh's Closure?
This is a great question. I work extensively with Moh's surgeons correcting all kinds of complex defects on the face. Moh's surgeons generally perform excisions all over the body and close most of the wounds themselves. The good Moh's surgeons will get a plastic surgeon involved early when to defect is going to be large or complex because the closure will often be better and more comfortable for the patient. I generally meet with the patient prior to the critical removal to get the "lay of the land" and talk about the potential surgery or number of surgeries that might occur after the Moh's.
So how do you choose a plastic surgeon. First step is make sure they are board certified in Plastic Surgery.
Once you know they are Board Certified find out where they will perform surgery. Hospital or office? Is the facility certified? Will you be asleep? You want to have surgery in a safe environment.
When will the surgeon close the defect? I close all of the defects referred to me usually within a couple of hours of the referral. If not already scheduled, I cancel or move cases to make sure the patient is taken care of expeditiously. You shouldn't have to wait a long time to have the repair. If the Moh's surgeon has a good relationship with the plastic surgeon then timing of closure should be pretty straight forward.
Your plastic surgeon should have extensive experience with closing Moh's defects. I love Moh's surgery closure because the larger ones can be quite challenging and as a surgeon you must be nimble and have a broad experience for choosing a closure that will end up being the best choice for the patient. Make sure your surgeon is experienced with multiple modalities of closure; from skin grafts to complex regional or free flaps.
Many Plastic Surgeons publish on the subject of closure of mohs defects. This is a good sign that they see a lot of Moh's patients.
Ask to see pictures of their closures. when patients come in and are scared of what the defect might look like and what are the options I talk over pictures and video of other closure I have performed (with permission). This will give confidence for the patient and let you rest a little easier. Below is a video of an eyelid closure following Moh's.
Finally make sure you are confortable with the plastic surgeon. Complex moh's repairs can be difficult and may take more than one surgery to refine the scar and result. You need to have a good relationship as you go through the process.
Best of luck with your Moh's and closure! I hope this helped.
Interview some BCPS byVillar
An experienced, well trained, Board Certified Plastic Reconstructive Surgeon is usually your best chance for the most options. Some dermatologists performing Mohs are taking on wounds that are beyond their capabilities, not because they are bad doctors, but because they are medical specialists, focusing on a sub-specialty of pathology. In todays world, no specialist will master his own specialty in his entire lifetime. The knowledge base is too big and outpacing us every day. It would be unfair to expect a dermatologist to master the art of surgery and plastic reconstructive surgery. The prudent patient will arrange for a plastic surgeon to repair the defect after the Mohs dermatologist has removed the cancer. This is logistically inconvenient, but in the patient's best interest as a general rule. A Mohs Fellowship is good, but no substitute for Plastic Reconstructive training.
Web reference: http://www.youtube.com/VillarPlasticSurgery
Which surgeon to choose to repair Mohs surgery defects
The cheek is a relatively straightforward area to repair after Mohs surgery, unless the defect gets close to the nose, lips, or eyelid. Larger defects (3+ cm) are also more difficult to repair.
Ask you Mohs surgeon directly which of their referrals they think is the best reconstructionist. When asked directly, they will likely give the nod to one surgeon out of the list.
Plastic surgery repair after Mohs surgery
Thanks for your question.
It is important to choose a surgeon who is comfortable repairing the area that will have Mohs surgery. There are usually 4 variables that dictate the type of reconstructive procedure that will be performed
- size of defect
- shape of defect
- location of defect
- depth of defect
Your plastic surgeon should discuss all these criteria with you and take you through the reconstructive ladder of options. It would be a good idea to ask for before and after pictures of other patients with defects that are in similar locations to look at.
Best of luck
Sachin Parikh, MD
Best plastic surgeon after Mohs surgery
I would focus on the plastic surgeons who really specialize in facial reconstruction as opposed to body surgeries. Take a look at their website to see if they had any additional training in facial reconstruction and if they typically do mohs reonstructions. Have a consultation with them and please do not hesitate to see their work- they often have before and after photos available. Finally, please make sure that you feel comfortable with them and their bedside manner.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

No arrests in alleged Springfield solicitationStaff Report | January 28,2013SPRINGFIELD — There will be no arrests in an alleged solicitation of a young girl in Springfield, according to Springfield Police Chief Doug Johnston.
Police interviewed the alleged victim after the incident but the girl could not recall what the man said to her, Johnston said. The police dropped the case based on lack of information.
"The victim didn't know if he was mumbling or directing something at her, nor did she know whether he was on a phone," Johnston said. "He is very slow and has a mental health issue on that aspect of things. To our knowledge
there is no threat community."
According to the initial police report, the 12-year-old girl was walking home from Riverside Middle School on Jan. 14 when she saw a man and thought he asked for a sexual favor. The man walked behind her for one-tenth of a mile before the child crossed River Street and headed home, the police report said.
Police investigated the complaint after an off-duty state trooper and a group of youths recognized the man that approached the girl, according to Springfield Police Sergeant Robert Simmons.MORE IN This Just InBy Josh O'Gorman Full StoryBy Gordon Dritschilo Full StoryCASTLETON - Police have released a picture of a man who robbed a convenience store Monday night.

By: Elizabeth PetersHarperCollins, New York2005 (hc)
For those who relish their archaeological mysteries-or any kind of mystery,
for that matter-there are few reading delights that can surpass the
publication of a new Amelia Peabody novel. Elizabeth Peters can be depended
upon for rollicking adventure, intricate plots and very often laugh-out-loud
dialogue, and in this, her 17th Amelia Peabody novel, she does not
disappoint! In fact, I believe this to be one of her very best outings, and
I cringe when I read that the Peabody series may be winding up in the next
volume or two.
The New Year of 1922 finds the Emerson entourage back in Egypt and back to
the scene of many of their former adventures-Luxor and the Valley of the
Kings. The bombastic figure of Mrs. Pringle Petherick, author of numerous
volumes of Victorian Era vampire fiction, invades the Emerson household and
literally forces upon the pater familias of the clan a small golden
statuette of an Egyptian king-an artifact, she claims, that carries with it
a dire curse. In an almost Marx Brothers sequence of events, Mrs.
Petherick's somewhat strange stepchildren, the conflicted Adrian and the
Amazonian Harriet, interrupt a dinner with near disastrous results. The
statuette is identified as representative of the Amarna period, named for
the Middle Egypt site founded by the "heretic" king, Akhenaton, as he
attempted to force his subjects to worship the one god, Aton. While its
provenance and legal ownership remain unsolved mysteries, there is no doubt
but that the little statue is extremely valuable.
Despite the supposed curse of the statuette, attempts to steal the object
seem to point to a more worldly plot. Greed, rather than the
supernatural-the recurring figure of a black-shrouded afrit (a desert demon)
that flits throughout the pages of the novel, notwithstanding-seems to be
the motivation of the scoundrel who would steal the statue.
As the mystery unfolds, we are reacquainted with that wonderful ensemble of
characters that Elizabeth Peters has introduced us to over the years-Peabody
and Emerson, to be sure; and their son Ramses and his wife, Nefret; and now
their children, Carla and David John, whose loquacious and didactic
personality mirrors his father at an early age; Sethos, the "Master
Criminal" of earlier novels; and new four-legged members of the household,
including the almost entirely useless watchdog, Amira, and the imperious
Great Cat of Re. The dynamics of this household, which expands to include
servants and excavators, charm us as readers as we follow the twists and
turns of the typical Peabody plot.
The adventure turns serious when the redoubtable Mrs. Petherick first goes
missing from her Winter Palace Hotel suite, and is then found dead in the
rose bushes behind the famed hotel. As Amelia and her family of sleuths
close in on a murderer, archaeology begins to play a more prominent part in
the novel as Emerson plots to gain the right to excavate in that part of the
Valley of the Kings reserved to Lord Carnarvon and his chief excavator,
Howard Carter. Despite the conventional wisdom that believed no undiscovered
tombs remained in the Valley of the Kings, Car Narvon, Carter and now
Emerson believed otherwise. And now Emerson and Ramses believed the little
statue was the clue that would unlock this mystery of Egypt's long dead
The mysterious death of Mrs. Petherick is finally solved, despite the
admissions of guilt by three different suspects, and Amelia's close brush
with death at the hands of one of the culprits, and the scene is set for the
next Amelia Peabody, which, something tells me, will revolve around events
in the Valley of the Kings in November of 1922.
This is Elizabeth Peters and Amelia Peabody at their best. Four trowels.

With their quintessential vintage West Coast sound, it's fitting that Treetop Flyers laid down their outstanding country soul debut in the canyons of Southern California. Though based in London, the British five-piece swapped urban England for the picturesque beaches and rolling hills of Malibu in order to record the classic sounding The Mountain Moves.
Paying their dues to everyone from The Band and Neil Young by way of Little Feat and Fleetwood Mac, there are also gracious nods towards the more contemporary likes of My Morning Jacket, The Coral and Jonathan Wilson. With lyrics of hope, honesty and huge choruses, their universally reaching songs are strewn with sunshine-infused four-part harmonies, propelled by an irrefutable open-highway groove.

His research challenges many assumptions about the perceived decline of the Cistercians in the late medieval period, showing the enduring vitality of the Order's visual and material cultures. During his fellowship year, Michael will be editing his thesis for publication as a monograph, while also organising a public research programme focused on religious art and conflict. Michael has presented invited lectures to the British Archaeological Association and the Society of Antiquaries, and has also published articles in several peer-reviewed journals, including Church Monuments, The Antiquaries Journal and The Journal of Medieval Monastic Studies.

Jennifer Feltenstein says she was in math class when the fire alarm went off last month at New Rochelle High School. She says she watched as fellow students were taken outside.
Jennifer, who has cerebral palsy and uses a motorized wheelchair, was left on the third floor with an aide and a security guard for 20 minutes while firefighters checked out some smoking wires in the building.
Jennifer's father, Rich, says he is disappointed about the way the school handled the situation. He is also upset that Jennifer was left on the third floor, which has no wheelchair access to the street.
He says he was told that the school's policy during a fire drill is to designate safe holding rooms for special needs students. He says the fire department called for that policy. Yet he says Jennifer should have been taken outside.
The U.S. Department of Justice is currently looking into the matter to determine whether Jennifer was treated fairly.
Fox 5 reached out to the school for an interview. A spokesperson says the school has no comment.

Let's Make A Deal
I can't find the actual poster from the 70s, but this is pretty cool and gets the point across nicely.
For Kevin Lowe, there's no real reason to be patient and wait for the Oilers to right the ship. Why? They don't have enough NHL players to compete every night, and developing forwards 6 at a time is a bad, bad idea.
Coach MacT is putting Horcoff and Hemsky back together (based on the Oilers site today) and Robby Nilsson is the LW for the line.
That's not all.
MacT is also putting together a "checking line" featuring Stoll, Torres and Zack Stortini.
So, Horcoff's line will apparently be getting softer minutes and Zack Stortini is the new Mike Grier.
Wouldn't it be easier to deal for a legit, veteran RW from the Mike Grier family of checkers?
Let's do it another way. How many games does a hockey player need to play at the NHL level in order to be an "established" NHL player? 82? That's just one season, seems a little light. How about 100? Still not enough? Okay, 150 NHL games. That's pretty much two seasons.
Here are the Edmonton Oilers' forwards on the current active roster and their career NHL games played:
- Geoff Sanderson 1083
- Shawn Horcoff 447
- Marty Reasoner 403
- Ales Hemsky 295
- Raffi Torres 295
- Jarret Stoll 225
- Dustin Penner 121
- Robert Nilsson 69
- Zack Stortini 39
- Kyle Brodziak 35
- Andrew Cogliano 20
- Sam Gagner 19
That's 6 players who have over 150 NHL games as of tonight. One of the guys with lots of experience is long in the tooth (Sanderson) and another is a role player (Reasoner).
So, it's 4. Horcoff-Hemsky, Stoll-Torres.
The arguments against a deal are:
- Moreau's coming back. (Answer: WHEN?)
- Pisani's coming back. (Answer: WHEN?)
- There's nothing out there. (Answer: Didn't we hear that last year?)
- The Oilers have 50 players on the roster. (Answer: SO WHAT?)
- The Oilers are close to the cap. (Answer: SO WHAT?)
The Oilers need a checking RW for the Stoll line when Stortini comes up wanting, and the price (in terms of payment and dollars) isn't going to be $5M. Dealing Pouliot + isn't going to hurt the current roster and bringing in a solid veteran to help with the heavy lifting on the tough opposition line is so obvious it's ridiculous.
Kevin Lowe needs to make a trade. I believe Craig MacTavish is a quality NHL coach, but don't believe he can develop this many young forwards at one time. I don't think anyone can. When does juggling become impossible?
When you have too many balls in the air.

Recent Puntarenas Reviews
The property is very lovely.
We really enjoyed the condo and the fact that is was in walking distance of everything. All of the staff was very helpful and are recommending Bahia Azul to our friends who want to stay in Jaco.
Outstanding Stay
I leased this unit for 6 months. You will find it is definitely as advertised. It is modern, spacious, all the amenities, great pool, & convenient to everything in Jaco. I have traveled extensively through Central America and Costa Rica and there are a lot of choices. What makes this unit very special, more so than any other I have ever leased, are the owners!! Don and Denise Gilbride are first class people who will take care of any issues you have very quickly. Example, the first night I was there the AC went out. As luck would have it, I had my largest client with me. As anyone who has traveled Costa Rica knows getting things done there can be challenging. I emailed Don at 5 am before we went fishing and by the time we got back in that afternoon AC was fixed. We had no other issues the balance of our time but Don would email me to make sure all was good. Now for Denise, she was a delight to work with. Never once did she charge my credit card without her emailing me to verify the charge first and to make sure all was good with the rental. She did that every month even though I had a 6 month contract. Don I want to thank both you and Denise for everything ya'll did to make it a successful trip for my customers and myself. Thank you so much!!!
Gorgeous Condo with a killer view
Our family of 2 adults and two kids, 10 and 14 years old stayed at Dr. Spivey's condo in Manuel Antonio for 3 nights on July 5th, 2014. The property is very clean, elegantly laid our, well equipped and very modern. The view from the living room into the bay is amazing. The owner was very organized and thoughtful in getting everything ready for guests, from local maps, to restaurants to sight seeings. The condo has a guard 24/24 so we felt very safe throughout our stay. Proximity to restaurants, groceries and sight seeings were a big plus since everything is within 5-10 minutes drive. Thanks again Dr. Spivey, we can't wait to go back to Manuel Antonio and stay at you condo again.

RICHLAND, Wash. - Oregon Senator Ron Wyden toured Hanford Tuesday to learn more about the site. Wyden is the new chairman of the Senate Energy Committee and says he wants to raise the level of awareness in Congress about Hanford cleanup.
"This is an opportunity for these issues to be a higher priority at the Department of Energy. There's scarce budget resources and we want to make sure that safety and waste disposal are at the top of the list," he said.
U.S. Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu, will be leaving his position and as chairman of the Senate Energy Committee, Wyden will play a key role in deciding who will replace him. Wyden says his visit will allow him to bring up Hanford during the hearings to select a new energy secretary.
"Chance to listen to those here who day in and day out are trying to tackle these issues and I can then pose questions to the secretary, the nominee, on the basis of what I learn," he said.
After several delays and setbacks in the Hanford site cleanup and construction of the Vit Plant, Wyden says he is eager to increase the pace.
"What I and other senators are going to want to hear is what's the end game? What's the strategy, the long term strategy for cleanup here," he said.Wyden also supports bipartisan work to preserve Hanford history by making the B Reactor part of a national park.
"The national park would be a chance to look deep into the well of history and get a clearer understanding of what's ahead," he said.

AP Sports Writer
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin doesn't have to say much this week to motivate his team.
The ninth-ranked Aggies (9-2, 5-2 SEC) know what's at stake as they aim for their first 10-win season since 1998, and try to break a 3-game losing streak to Missouri.
Sumlin says: "We're playing a team that no one on this football team has ever beaten. ... That'll be enough to get our attention right there."
Sumlin also knows that his team can't take Missouri (5-6, 2-5) lightly with the Tigers needing a win to become bowl eligible.
Because of a scheduling quirk, these Southeastern Conference newcomers are playing each other in College Station for the third straight season.

If you love pecans—especially in a well-made, mouth-watering pecan pie—then you'll love the hickory nuts produced by the amazing shagbark hickory tree. Native to Indiana and its neighboring states, this towering giant is unique among its hickory clanmates.
What does it do?
Providing food, shelter, dye, tools, sugar and other useful products, the shagbark hickory tree is a diamond mine in the middle of the forest. Its timber is hard and the wood is useful for making handles and ladders. Natives used this sturdy wood for manufacturing bows. The bark produces a fine yellow dye, and it can be tapped for the production of sugar and syrup. Eating shagbark hickory nuts rewards the dinner with an ample amount of magnesium and thiamine. All hickory species (17 varieties, with 13 native to the United States)—which includes the easy-to-harvest thin-shelled pecan—produce edible nuts, with the shagbark considered the most flavorful.
About the herb
An ancient giant in the forest, the shagbark hickory tree often lives 200 years and reaches over 120 feet heavenward. Easily recognized by its plate-like bark that appears to be stripping away from the tree, this native of Eastern North America requires 40 years of growth to attain commercial seed-bearing age. Its foot-long compound leaves feature five (sometimes seven) leaflets that produce an apple-like fragrance when bruised. The fruit (nut) is the size of a large walnut, with sweet meats that are considered the best tasting among all hickory nut species.
Recommended dosage
A good source of protein and trace minerals, shagbark hickory nuts should be enjoyed raw in salads to gain the maximum nutritional benefits. Commercial syrups made using the tree's bark are available and this tasty addition to your breakfast cereal, pancakes and waffles takes you down the road least travelled when compared with other syrups made from maple trees and other familiar plant sources.

For someone born and raised in small-town rural Georgia, Karin Slaughter doesn't speak in the "y'all come" Southern accent one would expect.
Which perhaps isn't too surprising. After all, the best-selling crime novelist is a world traveler who lives in cosmopolitan Atlanta, the South's most progressively minded center of commerce and culture. Still, the metaphorical tastes of sausage biscuits and turnip greens linger in the city's social fabric.
Which made me wonder: What's for supper?
"I wish fried chicken, but unfortunately it's going to be baked chicken," Slaughter said by phone from her rambling home. "We were going to barbecue, but it's 9,000 degrees outside and miserably humid. Anyway, I'm a really bad cook."
But a really accomplished writer. Slaughter has written 14 crime novels, four novellas and several e-stories, and has sold more than 30 million books worldwide, translated into 32 languages. Her book tours are global, her fans are legion. If there were a Fortune 500 list specifically for novelists, she would rank in the top 100.
All of Slaughter's stories are set in Georgia, naturally. Her first series, the six-title Grant County, takes place in a small town and its environs. She moved her second (and closely related) series, the eight-title Will Trent, to Atlanta in order to paint on a bigger canvas.
Between the two series, Slaughter has created a crossover universe of well- defined characters whose lives intertwine and whose dramatic arcs overlap. Some become romantically involved, others are strictly crime-fighting partners, a few come to bad endings.
"Grant County is a very small place where everybody knows everybody else, so the crimes were kind of interrelated in that people knew the victims and the killers," Slaughter said. "You can't repeatedly have your friends die if you're a character in a book. That's one reason I moved the story to Atlanta."
That's where one of Slaughter's main protagonists lives and works. Will Trent is an agent for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, a dyslexic loner whose social skills are limited but who always catches the bad guys.
Trent stars in Slaughter's newest adventure, "Unseen," in which he goes undercover in Macon, Ga., posing as an ex-con biker. His assignment: Identify and bust the redneck leader of a violent drug ring, a murderous sociopath nicknamed Big Whitey.
"Unseen" is the Bee Book Club's choice for July.
An early love of books
Slaughter's career path was shaped by her love of books. Early on, her father made a point of taking her to the local public library, though he wasn't much of a reader himself.
"That was around the time my passion for reading took off, and he was a major influence," she recalled. "He said I could read any book, as long as I talked to him about anything I didn't understand.
"I grew up with the appreciation that having a book is a luxury. It was the greatest gift he ever gave me."
Slaughter's passion for all things bookish is personified by her Save the Libraries foundation (www. savethelibraries.com).
"Libraries are really hurting, so I try to give back (through) grants and special projects," she said. For instance, the proceeds from her 2011 e-short story "Thorn in My Side," written specifically for the Kindle e-reader, were donated to libraries.
Slaughter knew she wanted to be a novelist ever since she was a young girl writing mystery stories that mostly ended with everyone being killed.
As a high-schooler, the story goes, she taped an autopsy photo of Marilyn Monroe to her lunch box, an image she found in a book in the school library.
"I moved recently and found it," she said with a chuckle. "I said, 'What the hell is this?' It's shocking. I was probably trying to freak out my (two older) sisters."
Slaughter attended Georgia State University for a few years and then turned to a series of jobs that included house painter and pest- control technician. She took a job at a signage company "to avoid being outdoors in the summer."
"I was good at it, so later I went out on my own and became fairly successful," she recalled. "But my goal was always to be published by the time I turned 30. I was 26 and it was getting close, so I sold my sign business to a friend and worked for him so I could take time off to write.
"Of course, I had an agent at that point, so I wasn't completely stupid. Still, it was a risk."
One that paid off. Slaughter's historical-fiction debut "didn't sell, fortunately," she said. "So I told my agent I'd always wanted to write a thriller, and she said, 'Give it a try.' "
The result was "Blindsided" in 2001, which became an international best-seller and was nominated for a Dagger Award for Best Thriller Debut by the Crime Writers Association.
"Yeah, it was pretty amazing," she said.
Penchant for violence
Slaughter, 42, is a diminutive woman with a mischievous grin, tousled blond hair and eyes as blue as the sky. On the surface, it seems counterintuitive that she conjures scenes in her novels that are as dark as any in popular fiction. Her penchant for putting sudden violence and extreme brutality on the page is an issue that follows her.
For instance, "Unseen" opens with a man being shotgunned by intruders in his home, followed by his terrified wife killing one of them with a hammer and maiming the other. In a later scene, a kidnap-torture victim is stabbed multiple times with a long-bladed hunting knife.
"Every writer draws on stuff inside themselves that we don't necessarily see when we look at them," said Jennifer Hershey, editor-in-chief of Ballantine-Bamtam-Dell and Slaughter's hands- on editor.
"Karin is better than most writers at translating the full breadth of human emotions onto the page, and really capturing both the dark and the light," Hershey said. "Her scenes are very cinematic, and every moment gets you in the pit of your stomach. It's a particular skill she has."
"Because I'm a woman, people pay more attention to (the violence) in my books than they do to violence in (similar books by male authors)," said Slaughter, whose surname seems apt in this instance. "But the fact is that 80-something percent of all readers are women, and we've been interested in these stories forever. I mean, 'Beowulf'! My God, is there a more violent telling of a crime than that?"
Slaughter's stories aren't just about the dark side, she said, but about "what the violence leaves behind and how the characters deal with it, how it affects and changes them. The violence isn't the focus, the fallout is. To me, that's the whole point of telling a story."
Slaughter's books are notoriously well-researched, with characters expertly navigating through investigative procedures and the forensic sciences. To make the character of Will Trent as real as possible, it was essential for her to get inside the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
"They have been amazingly open," she said. "They've let me watch training drills, I've talked with agents, and I've been out with the director, who's a law-enforcement guru. I went with him to the GBI shooting range, and they showed me how to use different guns, which I hadn't handled since I was a kid."
Slaughter owns a Springfield XD-S 9 mm carry pistol.
Making her mark
As popular as Slaughter is in the United States, she's even more of an attraction overseas. Why?
"Because to (most foreigners), anything that happens in America (and in her books) that's violent, scary or over the top is completely believable," she said. "They really think we can run down the street with a gun. Certainly we have our share of crazies, but terrible things happen in every country."
Slaughter recalled the "reassuring" advice she was given a few years ago while preparing to tour a new book in Finland, Switzerland and Sweden.
"Don't worry, they don't have guns," she was told. "They use knives, but they only murder people in their own families and only when they're drunk."
"So the violence is there," Slaughter said. "The difference is the accessibility to ways to wreak havoc with it."
Last year it was announced that two production companies had bought the TV rights to the "Grant County" series, to feature the town's pediatrician-coroner, Sara Linton, and to be filmed in Georgia.
"The plan is to start filming this year, but these things are a crapshoot," Slaughter said.
What can the author tell her fans about the next book?
"It's called 'Cop Town' and takes place in the 1970s with three new characters two white female police officers and an African American woman who works in the district attorney's office," she said. "I had so much fun in 'Criminal,' writing about policewomen in 1970s Atlanta, that I wanted to do it again."
Some authors are so identified with the cities in which their stories are set that it's said they "own" them. Robert Crais owns L.A., for instance, and Laura Lippman owns Baltimore. Does Slaughter own Atlanta?
"I hope so, but only time will tell," she said with a laugh. "I know there are other people writing mysteries set in Atlanta, but I could probably take them in an arm-wrestling match."
Bee Book Club appearance Thursday
Karin Slaughter will appear for The Bee Book Club at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria, 828 I St., Sacramento. Her presentation is a free event, but tickets are required. To get them, go to www.beebuzzpoints.com and click on "Bee Events."

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) - A Sheboygan woman has been sentenced to a year in the state prison for trying to protect a suspect in a fatal shooting which occurred in the city of Sheboygan last summer. 18 year old Lydia Smith was sentenced recently by Judge L. Edward Stengel on a charge of aiding a felon and was given credit for the nearly three months that she spent in the county jail. Smith was in the apartment where Ronnie Polk shot and killed his half-brother, Brandon Davis, last June. She attempted to clean up blood from the shooting and hid the gun that was used. Polk was arrested in Milwaukee a couple of days after the shooting and was sentenced in November to two years in prison.

At Worcester Sharks on Friday
Portland, ME - The Providence Bruins defeated the Portland Pirates 4-1 Sunday afternoon at the Cumberland County Civic Center. The P-Bruins got their goals from Mark Bomersback, Brad Marchand, Matt Marquardt and Martins Karsums. The P-Bruins are back in action on Friday at the DCU Center versus the Worcester Sharks at 7:05 p.m.
The Pirates took a 1-0 advantage at the 4:03 mark of the opening period. Tim Kennedy held the puck behind the net and left it for Mark Mancari in the right face off circle. He sent the puck to the left face off circle for Paul Baier who put the puck into the back of the net for his first goal of the season. The P-Bruins answered back at the 9:11 mark. Levi Nelson stole the puck in the Pirates end and passed it to Bomersback who was skating into the slot. He blasted the puck past Portland goaltender Jhonas Enroth for his first goal of the season. Providence took its first lead of the game at the 14:47 mark, while on the power play. Johnny Boychuk held the puck at the right point and passed it halfway down the boards to Marquardt. He found Marchand in front of the net and he scored a backhanded goal for his first of the season. The P-Bruins went into the first intermission leading 2-1.
In the second period the P-Bruins took a 3-1 advantage, while on the power play at the 3:50 mark. Jordan Knackstedt held the puck halfway up the left boards and passed it to Boychuk at the right point. He took a shot and Marquardt was parked in front of the net and tipped the puck in for his first goal of the season. Providence led 3-1 going into the second intermission.
In the third period, the P-Bruins added an empty net goal at the 19:07 mark to secure the victory. Karsums scored the goal for his third of the season, as the P-Bruins went on to the 4-1 victory.
Tuukka Rask stopped 26 of 27 shots for the P-Bruins, while Enroth made 26 saves for the Pirates. The P-Bruins were 2-for-7 on the power play and 8-for-8 on the penalty kill.

Latinos are very unique and different from your typical search engine user. When looking for something, they usually type in deep meaning phrases that only has relevant terms and meaning to their own native language and regional culture.
The Spanish language is considered to be a romantic language. As such, the use of many adjetives in search phrases is very common in Spanish. On top of that, Latinos are very regional when it comes to the way they speak and write. Latinos from different countries use different dialects stemming from their own individual culture. Even Latinos from the same country communicate differently, depending on what region, or town, they come from.
To complicate matters even further, Latinos living in the United States are indeed a very unique group that is set apart from other Hispanics elsewhere. As these Latinos assimilate with the American culture, they've developed a new language called "Spanglish:" Phrases that combine English and Spanish words, which in most cases, will only have a true meaning to Latinos and Latinos alone! Latinos do visit the major internet search engines using these phrases in trying to find what they're looking for. Unfortunately, in 90 percent of the cases, the results they get are totally irrelevant, whether it's organic results or adverting results. If you're a Latino searcher, you know what I mean by this. What typically happens is that you'll have to go back and keep trying different search terms over and over until you see some relevant results. This is not only time consuming, but more importantly, it's a waste of potential marketing gone to waste. What happens many times also is that Latinos will eventually switch to other smaller search portals, blog, directories, or social sites that are more in tune with their needs or that they can really identify with.
This makes it challenge for non Latino marketers trying to reach the Latino consumers to promote their products or services. However, the savvy Latino publisher or advertiser that's aware of this internet cultural fusion will have a much greater advantage to capitalize on their marketing efforts.
Big and medium marketing firms in the United Sates have not fully caught on into this phenomenon yet. Some of them have been smart enough to outsource their marketing contracts to Latino marketing companies. Others, however, try to do it on their own and fail miserably. Moreover, small companies that don't have the resources to hire a Latino marketing firm are at a loss when trying to reach the Latino consumers in the US on their own.
Some business solutions for companies of all sizes to effectively reach the Latino community in their marketing efforts are as follows:
1. Outsource the marketing job to an experienced and proven Latino Marketing firm.
2. Don't just rely on the big boys on the block, like Google, Yahoo and Bing and even Facebook to market your products or services. Look for alternatives. Remember, Latinos are very regional, proud and loyal to their culture. So smaller Latino search portals, directories and marketing websites may prove to be more effective than the big guys. Places to consider: http://www.webeton.com (Latino Search Engine) and http://www.hispanicprblog.com (Latino Blog).
3. Hire Latino employees to your marketing department. They will prove to be one of your greatest investments when they become fully involved in you Hispanic marketing campaigns.
4. Provide unique customer service. Latino consumers, more than others, will greatly value customer service; that will lead to unmatched repeat business. Regardless of what you're selling (products or services), make sure you always follow up with the Latino customer. If possible, make sure that your follow-up approach is perceived to be personal in nature. A thank you letter, e-mail, or phone call should always mention the customer by their first and last name. The follow-up should also offer an item or service of great value that's unique to them as an appreciation for their business. Latinos love bargains and to be recognized for the business they've given you.

Hello my name is Nina Perez and I am fighting for the rights of hispanics. A day without Hispanic is scheduled for Sept. 6. It is a day where hispanics and supporters refuse to shop, go to work, go to school or any other activity that put money back in to the United States economy.
I am a 68 year old American with a Hispanic background. I was born in Braggs, Ok where my Father was stationed before he was shipped out to Germany to fight in World War II. My Father had 9th grade education and Civilian Camp experience when he was drafted in the Army. My Father spoke very little English and made sure that my brother and I would learn English to fit in with English America.
My brother and I attended an all Hispanic elementary school. Our small town decided to re-district so we had to attend an elementary school in a white neighborhood. My Mother spoke little English so I did all the talking to enroll my brother in the First Grade and me, in the third grade. My Father was not there because he had to work that day.
My Father went to work at a Naval Base in our small town as a Civil Service worker, where he retired after 30 years.
My take away from going to school with white kids was priceless growing up. At home I would learn the Hispanic customs and in school, I would learn the ways of the white people.
My reason for writing these thoughts is to make sure that our Hispanic citizens understand how important it is to register to vote. Casting a vote in our elections is priceless because their voice is heard.
A proud American citizen,
Leo Sarabia

We received the sad news that our former partner and good friend Bob Harry died on Tuesday, June 25. Bob had a long career as one of Denver's finest litigators that included trials of countless important cases. Bob also will be remembered as a mentor for young litigators at Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP. Many have taken inspiration from his methods of trying cases and his commitment to professionalism, skill, and ethical behavior.
Bob represented companies across the Rocky Mountain region, as well as acting as local counsel for national brands such as IBM and Carnation. Bob received both his undergraduate and law degrees from Yale, although his legal education was delayed somewhat by his decision to leave law school soon after the Pearl Harbor bombing to seek a commission in the U.S. Naval Reserve. After receiving his JD, Bob joined the New York firm of Hughes Hubbard & Reed. In 1952, Byron White persuaded his former Yale Law School classmate to leave New York and travel west to join DGS. Bob became the first litigation specialist at the firm and head of the Trial Department.
Bob had a very active civic life, including being elected to the American College of Trial Lawyers in 1965 and the Board of Regents from 1973 to 1977. He was the Tenth Circuit member of the American Bar Association Judiciary Committee from 1969 to 1973. In 2003, Bob left retirement at the request of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and devoted three years to organizing its Historical Society and serving as its inaugural president.

Orange Eyes
Old orange eyes was allegedly an 11 foot tall 1,000 pound bigfoot creature that is said to live in Central Ohio on a lonely road called Lover's Lane where it stalked teenagers.
The orange eyes creature first gained notice on March 28, 1959 when three teenagers observed a huge hairy orange monster rise from a ground fog at Charles, Mill Reservoir, near Mansfied. Then 4 years later the beast appeared again and this time, it was witnessed by several people.
Scientists were not sure where this creature lived, but it is assumed that the beast might have lived in a tunnel in Cleveland's Riverside where it lived in peace for more than twenty-five years. Then suddenly in the 1940's and 1960's highway construction destroyed the tunnel that orange eyes was alleged to be living in, forcing the creature to live in a stretch of forest behind the Cleveland Zoo. Finally a group of teenagers invaded the creatures habitat on April 22, 1968 and chased the creature armed with baseball bats, flashlights, and ropes went into the forest to try to capture kill the creature but they found no sign of the beast.
June 1991 "old orange eyes" appeared again and this time the beast ran past two people fishing near Willis Creek scaring the daylights out them before disppearing. It was said the way to find this creature was on Ruggles Road near Blue Bridge and if the creature was there, it would appear curious.
Witneses of the orange eyed creature say that there is no monster just some crazy hermit or trademark feature by nailing two round orange bike reflectors to a stick or teenagers using christmas tree lights, flashlights to frighten one another.

Sri Lanka has seduced travellers for centuries. Marco Polo described it as the finest island of its size in the world, while successive waves of Indian, Arab and European traders and adventurers flocked to its palm-fringed shores, attracted by reports of rare spices, precious stones and magnificent elephants. Poised just above the Equator amid the balmy waters of the Indian Ocean, the island's legendary reputation for natural beauty and plenty has inspired an almost magical regard even in those who have never visited the place. Romantically inclined geographers, poring over maps of the island, compared its outline to a teardrop falling from the tip of India or to the shape of a pearl (the less impressionable Dutch likened it to a leg of ham), while even the name given to the island by early Arab traders – Serendib – gave rise to the English word "serendipity".
Marco Polo's bold claim still holds true. Sri Lanka packs an extraordinary variety of places to visit within its modest physical dimensions, and few islands of comparable size can boast a natural environment of such beauty and diversity. Lapped by the Indian Ocean, the coast is fringed with idyllic – and often refreshingly undeveloped – beaches, while the interior boasts a compelling variety of landscapes ranging from wildlife-rich lowland jungles, home to extensive populations of elephants, leopards and rare endemic bird species, to the misty heights of the hill country, swathed in immaculately manicured tea plantations. Nor does the island lack in man-made attractions. Sri Lanka boasts more than two thousand years of recorded history, and the remarkable achievements of the early Sinhalese civilization can still be seen in the sequence of ruined cities and great religious monuments that litter the northern plains.
The glories of this early Buddhist civilization continue to provide a benchmark of national identity for the island's Sinhalese population, while Sri Lanka's historic role as the world's oldest stronghold of Theravada Buddhism lends it a unique cultural identity that permeates life at every level. There's more to Sri Lanka than just Buddhists, however. The island's geographical position at one of the most important staging posts of Indian Ocean trade laid it open to a uniquely wide range of influences, as generations of Arab, Malay, Portuguese, Dutch and British settlers subtly transformed its culture, architecture and cuisine, while the long-established Tamil population in the north have established a vibrant Hindu culture that owes more to India than to the Sinhalese south.
It is, however, this very diversity that has long threatened to tear the country apart. For much of the past three decades the island was the site of one of Asia's most pernicious civil wars, as the Sri Lankan Army and the LTTE, or Tamil Tigers, battled it out in the island's north and east, until the final victory of government forces in early 2009. The island is now experiencing peace for the first time in a generation, and although the physical, political and human scars of war remain raw in many places, most Sri Lankans are now once again looking to the future with guarded optimism.Read More
No animal is as closely identified with Sri Lanka as the elephant – and few other countries offer such a wide range of opportunities to see them both in captivity and in the wild. The kings of Anuradhapura used them to pound down the foundations of their city's huge religious monuments, while the rulers of Kandy employed them to execute prisoners by trampling them to death. During the Dutch era they helped tow barges and move heavy artillery, and under the British they were set to clearing land for tea plantations – even today, trained elephants are used to move heavy objects in places inaccessible to machinery. Elephants also play an integral role in many of the island's religious festivals, and remain revered creatures – killing an elephant was formerly a capital offence, while the death of the great Maligawa Tusker Raja in 1998 prompted the government to declare a national day of mourning.
Sri Lankan Buddhism
Sri Lankan Buddhism
Buddhism runs deep in Sri Lanka. The island was one of the first places to convert to the religion, in 247 BC, and has remained unswervingly faithful in the two thousand years since. As such, Sri Lanka is often claimed to be the world's oldest Buddhist country, and Buddhism continues to permeate the practical life and spiritual beliefs of the majority of the island's Sinhalese population. Buddhist temples can be found everywhere, often decorated with superb shrines, statues and murals, while the sight of Sri Lanka's orange-robed monks is one of the island's enduring visual images. Buddhist places of pilgrimage – the Temple of the Tooth at Kandy, the revered "footprint" of the Buddha at Adam's Peak, and the Sri Maha Bodhi at Anuradhapura – also play a vital role in sustaining the faith, while the national calendar is punctuated with religious holidays and festivals ranging from the monthly full-moon poya days through to more elaborate annual celebrations, often taking the form of enormous processions (peraheras), during which locals parade through the streets, often accompanied by elaborately costumed elephants. For more on Buddhism, turn to our Contexts chapter.

This year's strongest typhoon in the western Pacific Ocean, Super Typhoon Haiyan, is wreaking havoc in the Philippines tonight with winds much higher than our most powerful Category 5 hurricanes in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. Super Typhoon Haiyan packs sustained winds of 175 MPH with gusts well over 200 MPH! Compare that with our strongest Category 5 hurricane with sustained winds starting at a devastating 156 MPH, and you see that this super typhoon has record-breaking potential!
Now, you may ask, what's the difference between a typhoon and a hurricane?
In the Atlantic Basin, tropical systems with sustained winds of 74 MPH or higher are called hurricanes. It's the same for storms in the eastern Pacific Ocean. However, in the northwestern Pacific Ocean (west of the International Date Line), a system with the same type of tropical characteristics is not called a hurricane. It's called a typhoon.
Nonetheless, Super Typhoon Haiyan is a monstrous tropical system with such powerful winds. The damage in the aftermath is likely to be devastating in the Philippines.

Associate Editor
ACUSHNET — The Board of Selectmen voted Oct. 1 to reduce the number of proposed articles from 27 to 22 for the Oct. 22 special Town Meeting. The fall Town Meeting will take place at the Ford Middle School beginning at 7 p.m.
The main article up for a vote asks Town Meeting voters to approve a new $5.7 million police station (see related story inside on funding). If it passes, it will still have to be approved at the ballot box.
Articles the board voted to place on the warrant include funds to pay for recently ratified union contracts. Town Administrator Alan Coutinho said some non-union personnel, along with the library and Police Department, had settled contracts through 2015. He said there was no final agreement with Emergency Medical Services.
Another article would allocate a sum for the renovation work on Perry Hill Church.
Among the other articles up for a vote at the fall Town Meeting:
Highway Department Superintendent Daniel Menard echoed Ms. Tomlinson's assessment, pointing out that the rotting under carriage of the vehicle cannot be repaired. It came down to a safety issue and the selectmen unanimously agreed to support the article.
Fire Chief Kevin Gallagher appeared before the board with three articles for fire fighting equipment. Chief Gallagher noted that the original cost of the three articles was $53,228; however, he was able to reduce the number of sets of personal protection equipment from 30 at a cost of $45,000 to 13 at a cost of $19,500 and use a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant for two others.
Chief Gallagher is also seeking properly fitted helmets for 12 firefighters at $2,720 and another article for 12 pagers at $4,728.
Among the articles taken off the warrant were several using Community Preservation Act funds. They included two articles requesting $5,000 each to pursue getting Perry Hill Church and the Thomas Severance house on the National Historic Register. The board voted 2-1 against it, saying the town does not own the Severance house — the library does — and that they should repair and explore uses first for Perry Hill Church.
They also unanimously postponed funding $30,000 in Community Preservation Act funds for work on the Acushnet Grange.
