Summer with its oppressive heat and stifling humidity has yet to arrive in Dallas, Texas. Nevertheless, things are heating up for one promising couple and their young daughter; all of whom are highly visible in the public arena.
Liz Carstens and her daughter Cass are feeling lonely and neglected by Damon. They seem little more than footnotes to Damon's busy life in service to others as a local minister. But Liz will soon discover the real reasons for their deep feelings of unease. These hard realities will involve far more sinister elements of society than she can imagine.
When Liz's best friend, Didi, gently suggests to her that Damon may be having an affair, the idea hardly comes as a surprise to Liz. But as reality settles in, dictating there is indeed another woman in the picture; that "other woman" turns out to be anything but just any other woman.
The coppery smell of blood is in the air; permeating some of grimy back alleys and the underbelly of the city.
Thirst for Flame tells a troubling, behind-the-scenes story of a hidden, yet disturbingly real segment of today's contemporary society. Two Dallas detectives and a pair of elderly citizen helpers are among those who go along for a ride that often challenges our conventional, comforting perceptions of what the "real" world is.
This harrowing tale of mayhem and deceit takes the reader into the heart of the deepest pit of a dark, underground realm of satanic ceremonies and unconventional worship. From the audiobook's memorable beginning we find ourselves inexorably taken down an all-too-frightening road most often not taken.

Appearance of fairness matters in picking judges
This editorial will appear in Tuesday's print edition.
The criminal justice system abounds in people, procedures and places: judges, courtrooms, attorneys, indictments, trials, appeals and jail cells.
But all of it stands on something insubstantial: trust. It's not good enough that the system is fair. It must also be perceived as fair by the public.
That's why the Pierce County Council should tread carefully as it revises its process for filling vacancies on the bench. It should not involve parties with vested interests in how cases turn out – including the Prosecutor's Office.
There's been a flurry of maneuvering, on and around the council, over the appointment of a replacement for Judge Jack Nevin of the District Court. (Nevin will soon move to the Superior Court.)
The council hasn't made such an appointment since 2003, but the process it used nine years ago is theoretically still in place. The council then relied on a list of candidates supplied by a six-member panel.
That committee consisted of two members of the Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association, one representative of the Minority Bar Association, a representative of the state court administrator, plus the County Council's lawyer and the District Court's presiding judge.
They proposed a handful of candidates; the council chose from the list. Read more »

The Music That Inspires Computers To Write Their Own Songs
With the help of the 30-year-old digital music standard MIDI, computers are learning musical composition and creativity. Researchers have been experimenting with AI-generated music for years, and this article describes the experiences they have had along the way.This article originally appeared on Fast Company
In May, Google research scientist Douglas Eck left his Silicon Valley office to spend a few days at Moogfest, a gathering for music, art, and technology enthusiasts deep in North Carolina's Smoky Mountains. Eck told the festival's music-savvy attendees about his team's new ideas about how to teach computers to help musicians write music—generate harmonies, create transitions in a song, and elaborate on a recurring theme. Someday, the machine could learn to write a song all on its own.
Eck hadn't come to the festival—which was inspired by the legendary creator of the Moog synthesizer and peopled with musicians and electronic music nerds—simply to introduce his team's challenging project. To "learn" how to create art and music, he and his colleagues need users to feed the machines tons of data, using MIDI, a format more often associated with dinky video game sounds than with complex machine learning.
Researchers have been experimenting with AI-generated music for years. Scientists at Sony's Computer Science Laboratory in France recently released what some have called the first AI-generated pop songs, composed from their in-house AI algorithms (although they were arranged by a human musician, who also wrote their lyrics). Their AI platform, FlowMachines, has also composed jazz and classical scores in the past using MIDI. Eck's talk at Moogfest was a prelude to a Google research program called Magenta, which aims to write code that can learn how to generate art, starting with music...

Calcium supplements
Patient : Hi I read on Wikipedia the calcium lactate does not have to be take with meals and i am looking for a calcium supplement like that. I cannot use calcium citrate So my question for you is: Can anyone take calcium lactate or is it just for people who have high phosphate levels. If I were to take it would it bind with the phosphate in my body causing a phosphate deficiency or does it just bind with excess Phosphate, What other minerals does it bind with?
Doctor : Calcium Lactate may be administered in low blood calcium levels (Hypocalcemia), Osteoporosis, and Post-Menopausal Osteop orosis Prevention. There are many oral preparations of calcium salts available, even effervescent varieties; therefore it should be possible to find a particular calcium salt to suit your requirements, which does not produce adverse effects. The indication for use is also important for example if you have chronic kidney disease, calcium acetate or carbonate are the calcium salts of choice, because they help to reduce serum phosphate levels. Calcium lactate is usually administered with food; calcium citrate may be taken with or without food. I would advise discussing calcium salt preparations with your family physician, with reference to the specific indication in your case.

(The Harvesting, #1)
Publication date: January 8th 2014
Genres: Horror, Young Adult, Zombies
It's all fun and games until someone ends up undead.
Layla Petrovich has spent her whole life running away from her hometown of Hamletville. Raised by the town's medium, and dubbed the "weird" girl for her fascination with swords, the last thing Layla wants is to go home.
But when she receives a desperate call to return just as a mysterious outbreak sweeps the country, Layla's instincts urge her to go. Good thing, because the dead are rising.Layla, however, isn't entirely on her own. With her psychic powers growing, surely everything will turn out okay, right?
Not so fast. Just when Layla believes she might survive the apocalypse, a sinister and ancient force rises from the shadows to finish mankind for good.Because the truth is, we were never alone in this world.Begin The Harvesting Series with The Harvesting, Book 1.
"If you ever need to slice someone's head off, this is the blade you want," I said as I lifted a curved sword off the table in front of me. "We've been practicing épée and foil so far, but tonight I want to introduce you to the sabre." The practice sabre's curved blade reflected the orange streetlight shining in through the window. A grant from the Smithsonian where I worked allowed me to teach my two passions: ancient weapons and their arts. "The sabre is a slashing weapon," I continued and then lunged, showing the wide-eyed and excited students a few moves. "And in general, it's my favorite," I admitted with a grin.The students laughed.
"Is that why you have it tattooed on your arm?" Tyler, one of my best fencers, asked.
My hand went unconsciously toward the tattoo. The ink was a sword interlaced with other once-meaningful symbols. "That's not just any sabre," I said, mildly embarrassed. "Here, let me show you. I brought something special tonight." Setting the training sabre down, I lifted a rolled bundle. I laid it down on the table and unrolled it to reveal weapons in various elaborate scabbards.
"Some are épée, foils—you can tell by the hilt—a broadsword, a claymore, a katana, a scimitar, throwing daggers," I said, pointing, "but this, this is a Russian shashka." I pulled the shashka from the bundle. "It's like a traditional sabre, but has no guard. She's light, single-edged, wielded with one hand, and good for stabbing or slashing. Not awkward in close quarters like a Scottish claymore, but it will kill you just as dead," I said with a smile. I unsheathed the weapon and gave it an under-and over-hand spin around my head, shoulders, and back.
The students grinned from ear to ear.
I put it back in its scabbard and handed the shashka to them. "Pass it around, but keep in mind it is sharp enough to cut a blade of hair in half." I then turned my attention to Tyler. "Now, since you're so interested, let's see how you do with the sabre." I tossed one of the training swords to him.
Tyler, already in his gear, jumped up and lowered his fencing mask. "But you're not in gear," he said.
I shrugged. "Hit me, if you can."
We stood at the ready, made the ceremonial bow, and began. Tyler was not overly aggressive, which is partially why he was so successful. He waited for me, moving slowly. He was smart, quick, and often tried to over-tire his opponent.
I waited, dropped my sword a bit, and let him make the lunge. He took the bait.
The swords clanged together, and we clashed back and forth across the strip. He lunged and slashed while I dodged and blocked. He was fast. I was faster. When he lunged again, I ducked. With an upward movement, I went in.
"A hit," Kasey called.
They clapped.
"Man, that's what you get for taking on a former state champ—and the teacher," Trey told Tyler with a laugh.
Tyler pulled off the mask and smiled at me.
Just then, my cell rang. I would usually ignore it, but something told me to answer.
"Everyone pair up and start working with the training sabers," I said and pointed to the sword rack. I went to my bag and grabbed my cell.
Before I could say hello, she spoke.
"Layla, Grandma needs you to come home," my grandmother's voice, thick with Russian accent, came across through static. I was silent for a moment. My grandmother lived 500 miles away, and she never used her telephone. With the exception of her T.V., she hated technology. She'd cried and begged me to take away the microwave I'd purchased for her one Mother's Day.
"Grandma? What's wrong?"
"Come home now. Be here tomorrow," she said. She hung up.
I lowered my cell and stared at it. Confused and worried, I dialed her back. The phone rang, but she did not answer. I had obligations: practice, bills to pay, groceries to buy, tons of work to do, and a date for god-sakes. But my grandmother was the only one I had left in the world.
"Sorry, guys. Emergency," I called to my students.
Disappointed, they groaned.
"Sorry. Let's pack it up for the night." My hands shaking, I slid the shashka back into the bundle and rolled up the weapons. What had happened? Maybe Grandma was sick. Maybe she had some problem. Or maybe she had seen something.
10 Tips on Finding Love during the Zombie Apocalypse
By Melanie Karsak, author of The Harvesting
Finding love during a zombie apocalypse can be tricky, but with the right guidance, even you can find a way to make your heart soar while spattered in zombie goo. After all, Glenn and Maggie from "The Walking Dead" perfected the art. In my novel The Harvesting, Layla and Jamie find a way to make things work. What about you? When it all ends, could you find a new beginning? Maybe we can learn some lessons from these war-torn z-poc survivors. But how to you do it? Let's take a look at 10 ways to find love during the zombie apocalypse:
10) Assume that Warm Bodies was a one-shot deal. Avoid coming on to the undead.
9) If you are lucky enough to find the right person, learn how to moan like a zombie. No more "to the heavens" chortles. If you learn to moan like a zombie, the undead are more likely to ignore you and you won't get caught in any embarrassing positions. No one wants to run from zombies with their pants around their ankles.
8) Never miss an opportunity for a "safe sex zone." You've just cleared out a bunker full of zombies and there is a really cozy closet down the hall away the rest of the group. What are you waiting for?
7) Reconsider your standards. Okay, maybe you didn't love rednecks in your everyday life, but chances are that if there is a redneck about (male or female), they've got the chops to make it in the z-poc. It might be time to warm up. Git-r-done, y'all!
6) Get over hang-ups about hygiene: perfume, cologne, deodorant, a toothbrush, a shower . . . all things of the past. If you want to connect with someone over a can of dog food, you need to let go of your feelings about bad-breath.
5) You will likely be dead tomorrow. If you think he or she might be interested, just make a move.
4) Do not use protection (wait for it…). Let's set STDs aside for a moment and talk about pregnancy. Almost every movie and book assures us that if you get pregnant, your child will save humanity. The cure will be in their blood. While it would be very annoying to have a STD during the apocalypse, don't let that crush the chance to save mankind. Don't be selfish.
3) Examine your group. Are there any couples? No? Every story always depicts one "sweet" couple. If your group is currently lacking this couple, you and your partner might be able to take over this stock-character/relational role. Your "too sweet to kill" love story might just save you come z-day. Go ahead and try to have a real relationship. On the other hand, if you see your partner making eyes at others in your group, run away! Getting involved in a love triangle almost certainly spells death.
2) The rules of Zombieland suggest double-tap…and so do I.
1) Learn how to make love with your boots on and the safety off.
I hope these 10 rules helped you get ready for all the zombie-lovin' fun you can have. If you would like to learn more about how to survive during the zombie apocalypse, please check out my novel The Harvesting now available at Amazon.com!Find The Harvesting here: http://www.amazon.com/Harvesting-Melanie-Karsak-ebook/dp/B009GI3YBY

Pretoria — Washington is on the brink of striking out South Africa off the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa), after it missed its December 31 deadline to resolve a dispute on trade levies.
January 4, 2016 was South Africa's deadline to comply with a US trade agreement or risk losing export benefits.
South Africa signed the Agoa agreement, but missed an October deadline to agree on new animal health and food safety rules.
Agoa, renewed by US lawmakers in June 2015, eliminates import levies on more than 7,000 products ranging from textiles to manufactured items and benefits 39 sub-Saharan African nations.
Total two-way trade between South Africa and the US was about $14 billion last year.
US President Barack Obama is expected to make an announcement while South Africa's Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is also expected to shed light on the matter. Washington's Trade Representative spokesperson, Mr Trevor Kincard, confirmed that when the deadline expired at midnight on December 31, outstanding issues had not been resolved.
DTI director general Lionel October is confident the trade dispute will be resolved allowing South Africa to retain duty-free access for farm export.
"We are totally committed to finding a resolution," Mr October said. He added that veterinarians from the two countries were in daily contact to try to resolve outstanding issues relating to testing of US imports of poultry and pork for salmonella and other diseases.
"We have made the concessions on pork and beef imports. We and the US Embassy are getting the vets to issue the final health and safety protocols," he said.
Early in November, Mr Obama said South Africa continued to impose several long-standing barriers to US trade and had been given 60 days to take remedial action or face suspension of some of its trade preferences under Agoa.
Countries are required to eliminate barriers to US trade and investment.

Once you fill the shells that contain the sweetened ricotta in the Italian dessert named cannoli, it's inevitable that a bit of the filling will be left. Not to be confused with the dried pasta tubes called cannelloni, which are filled with savory fillings and baked, cannoli are always sweet desserts. They originated with invaders to Italy from Northern Africa who brought with them candied fruit, nuts and sheep's milk ricotta, which are the ingredients for traditional cannoli filling.
With only a little bit of cannoli filling left over, you can create a treat for one person by spreading the filling onto a warm tortilla or piling it into an ice cream cone. If you have enough filling to make multiple treats, use commercial phyllo or puff pastry sheets or tartlet shells. If you want to make the filling stretch a little further, add more candied fruits or more ricotta.
There's no reason why you can't just scoop any leftover filling into fancy dessert bowls or parfait glasses and call it pudding. As is the case with using the leftovers for fillings, bulk it up with additional ricotta or add chopped cookies for crunch. Use an Italian cookie such as an almond macaroon called amaretti; a crispy, twice-baked biscotti; or an American cookie, such as a chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookie or a gingersnap. Add chocolate powder or melted chocolate to turn the filling into chocolate pudding.
If you've made your cannoli filling with a combination of ricotta cheese and whipped cream, you have a ready-made topping for either ice cream or fresh fruit. Add additional ingredients that pair well with whatever flavor ice cream or whatever fruit you use. For example, add orange extract, orange liqueur or orange juice and zest when topping strawberries. Or, stir in some fresh grated ginger or lemon zest and juice when serving the filling over peaches.
Use whatever filling you have left to create entirely new desserts, such as a substitute for both the custard and whipped cream layers in a trifle. Stir in a little espresso to the filling before layering it and, for a decadent trifle, consider the cannoli filling as the custard layer and add an additional layer of whipped cream. Or, use the filling between the layers on a cake, adding additional flavorings depending on the type of cake you've baked.

A convicted fraudster from York has been ordered to repay thousands of pounds of criminally obtained cash.
Howard Rose, 63, from The Village, Earswick, York was ordered to pay £77,107.07 under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) at York Crown Court on Tuesday 24th April 2012.
The confiscation order follows Rose's conviction and sentencing in October 2011, when he pleaded guilty to stealing £76,040 from the Yorkshire Children's Hospital Trust.
Rose has to comply with the order within six months or face an additional 21-month prison sentence. Under the terms of the POCA, if he does serve a prison sentence Rose will still have to comply with the order and pay the money.
Detective Inspector Ian Wills, of the force's Financial Investigation Unit, said:
"I am very pleased with the confiscation order given by the court.
"It sends the clear message that anyone who commits fraud will not benefit from their crimes.
"When they are caught, offenders will not only have to face the prospect of serving a prison sentence, but will have any money they have obtained through their crimes confiscated."
The offences were committed between 1st June 2007 and 31st May 2010, when Rose was working as the administrator for the Yorkshire Children's Hospital Trust.

A heartless fraudster has been jailed for stealing thousands of pounds from a children's charity.
Howard Rose, 63, of The Village, Earswick, York, was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment at York Crown Court (6th October 2011) after pleading guilty to stealing £76,040 from the Yorkshire Children's Hospital Trust.
Rose, in his role as the Trust's administrator, diverted funds which charities had donated to the Trust to his personal bank account using false invoices.
He used headed paper bearing the charities' logos to cover up his wrongdoing and used the money he stole to pay off his debts.
Rose's crimes were uncovered after North Yorkshire Police were called in by the trustees.
Investigating officers discovered that Rose had been taking money out of the Trust's funds for his own benefit for almost three years, between 1 June 2007 and 31 May 2010.
Detective Sergeant Garry Ridler, of North Yorkshire Police's Major Fraud Team, condemned Rose's deceitful actions.
He said:
"Howard Rose abused his role within the Trust for his own personal gain, without sparing a thought for the children he was supposed to be helping.
"He stole funds which people had donated for the care of sick children and for that he fully deserves the sentence he has been given.
"He now has time to reflect on the major breach of trust which he should be ashamed of, considering the length of time in which he had been taking what amounted to a substantial amount of money.
"Anyone who thinks they can get away with deception on this scale is mistaken. The police will thoroughly investigate and you will be brought to justice."

Got pizza? The human being who doesn't like pizza has probably not yet been born. Anchovies might be an exception to the rule, but when it comes to pizza, nearly everyone has their favorite. The trouble when deciding on pizza is not what is on top, and most often not even how thick the crust is, although there are connoisseurs who prefer one over the other. The difference lies in how much any one person can eat. That is where the sharp divisions that try mankind's souls are born. Fortunately, thanks to a limited number of sizes that any pizza parlor, including the restaurants found on pizzanearme.directory, can make and how many slices can realistically be cut from those sizes, it's fairly easy to determine how many slices are derived from a given sized pizza.
It is also important to remember for any discussion of the number of slices apportioned to any given sized pizza that although individual shop owners and managers have their preferences, many pizza customers make special requests for the specific number of slices that they require. For example, if a customer orders a large sized pizza, he will ordinarily receive his 14-inch pizza that is cut into eight even slices. If, on the other hand, a customer wishes to feed more people with a 14-inch pizza than would ordinarily be fed with eight slices, he can request that his pizzas be cut twice, thus giving him 16 slices, rather than the standard eight.
How Many Slices in a Large Pizza Hut Pizza?
The large pizza made by Pizza Hut is 14 inches in diameter. Given the fact that individual restaurants can choose to utilize either a circular slicer or a two-handled knife with which to cut their pizzas, a vast majority of the products that a given restaurant produces are evenly numbered. In the case of a large Pizza Hut pizza, this means that there will be eight relatively evenly sized pieces to a given product.
How Many Slices in a Medium Pizza Hut Pizza?
One size smaller from the large pizza is the medium-sized pizza, which measures 12 inches in diameter. Using the same cutting criterion as described above, a medium pizza is usually cut into eight evenly sized slices. It is also important to realize that in the case of some restaurant that specializes in take-out orders, the medium sized pizza is the smallest that they provide to their customers, the other size being large. there is some variance, of course, since some of these outlets allow themselves the option of making personal sized pizzas for their customers.
How Many Slices in a Small Pizza Hut Pizza?
The small pizza at Pizza Hut measures just 8 inches across, which usually ends up being four generously sized pieces. there is usually little variance of this number from restaurant to restaurant. Again, how pizzas are cut is determined to a great extent on the type of cutting device being used, but there is usually some input by the management of the restaurant itself.
How Many Slices in a Personal Pan Pizza Hut Pizza?
The personal pan pizza made by Pizza Hut measures at six inches across, crust to crust. It's small enough that it could be eaten with your hands without difficulty without cutting it, although most restaurants cut it in half for convenience sake. Some restaurants opt to cut personal sized pizzas twice, making the final result four slices of pizza instead of two.
From the discussion above, it does not take a sous chef to know that there will always be some variance in the sizes of the pizzas that a given outlet produces. It is also important to note that despite there being some guidelines from corporate headquarters on the way pizzas are to be cut, there will be those franchise owners who choose to do it differently. They might think that cutting a pizza in a different way will affect their bottom line, or for some other reason. What is usually the most important factor to remember is that the methods used in cutting pizza should be consistent, even among restaurants, and with the ultimate decision of how many slices be left to the needs and discretion of the customers.

Days after Mark Waugh launched a scathing attack on Virat Kohli, another Australian legend has voiced his criticism of the Indian captain's trademark on-field aggression.
Former Aussie wicket-keeper, Ian Healy, revealed that he is "losing respect" for the Indian batting sensation for his constant sledging of the Australians in the ongoing Test at Bengaluru.
The 52-year-old believes that Kohli disrespected Australia and should tone down his confrontational attitude which is also putting pressure on his teammates. "The pressure is starting to tell on (Kohli). I'm losing respect for him. He's got to be a lot more respectful of his opponents. The stuff he did with Steve Smith was unacceptable," Healy said.
Healy felt Kohli's actions were putting unwanted pressure on his own players.
"I've said in the past, he (Kohli) is the best batsman I've ever seen. His feistiness and real aggression towards the opposition has been good (in the past), especially when he was not captain. It would lead his team with him. They're more timid than they look and they let on, the Indian cricketers."
"So Kohli's aggression was good for them. But I think it's not good for them anymore. He's really putting some pressure on (his players). You can read pressure all over Ravi Ashwin's face. I think there are massive cracks showing in (Kohli)," said Healy.
Kohli was on a sledging spree on Day 2 of the Bengaluru Test. After frequent exchanges with Steven Smith, Kohli tried to unnerve opener Matt Renshaw by reminding him of the "toilet break" he took in the Pune Test.
On @ImIshant reaction @imVkohli funny comment pic.twitter.com/xUkz92eoEt— Sportzwiki (@eevinaymani) March 5, 2017
In the next few overs, Ishant Sharma started to get into the skin of the Australian batsmen. While bowling a brilliant line, Ishant kept mocking Smith and the latter, too, didn't hold himself back. Every time Smith let the ball go, he would have an exaggerated movement of the arms to further instigate the Indian seamer.
Ishant sharma ... You are also bowler ... #jadeja #INDvsAUS #?????????_NAMO pic.twitter.com/itCMKmHZKK— ROHIT KAKADE (@ROHITKAKADE8) March 6, 2017
Ishant also continued to make faces against Renshaw who equally looked up to the task by responding with his own animated gestures. Such was its entertainment quotient, that the Indian captain, too, couldn't stop laughing and smirking on and off.
The banter surely hogged the limelight but the fact that it was pretty friendly and harmless makes Healy's remarks absolutely stupid and uncalled for. It is something that his former teammate Simon Katich rightly pointed out.
"I thought both (Kohli and Smith) of them handled it extremely well. You could tell there was a lot of emotion out there, India were desperate for wickets. They know Steve Smith is a huge wicket," Katich said.
There's plenty happening out there this morning! #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/KuU1RvXjyS— cricket.com.au (@CricketAus) March 5, 2017
"I think Steve Smith handled it well too, he had a bit of a laugh. He took the mickey out of Ishant, Ishant took the mickey out of him. The umpires handled it well. All in all, the captains both deserve a lot of credit because that could have easily gotten out of hand. It could have gotten out of hand but it didn't courtesy of the two captains," he concluded.
Well, Katich clearly seem to make more sense than his old buddy Healy. But, the Indian fans were not in a mood to forgive as they took turns to humiliate the Australian on Twitter.

5 Hilarious 'Mad Men' Spoofs
As we ruminate over the Mad Men premiere, we think not only of the bleak sorrows that have befallen Don and Peggy, but of the joys this show has inspired. Getting into the spirit of things, Seth Meyers recently shared a parody video called Bad Men. Whether or not his was especially funny is debatable, but here are some Mad Men parodies and spoofs that totally hit the mark.
The Simpsons
When Homer Simpson went Don Draper, even if it was only for the opening credits, all felt right in the world.
Saturday Night Live: "A-Holes: Pitch Meeting"
Finally, someone said what we'd all been thinking: "All of the clients on Mad Men are total a-holes." Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudeikis played their recurring characters (Two A-Holes), and along with the real Don Draper, Peggy Olson, and Roger Sterling we got some hilarious SNL-ified versions of the rest of the folks at Sterling Cooper.
MA Men
It's all of your favorite things in one place: Mad Men, Joey McIntyre from New Kids on the Block, and Boston accents laced with NSFW language (AKA Boston accents). Enjoy.
Sesame Street FTW
If you have children (hell, even if you don't), this video is a joy! Finally, you can share the magic of Mad Men with your kids without questioning your parenting skills.
Saturday Night Live: "Black Mad Men"
Who in the world would think to connect hummus to sexuality and desegregation? Why, the black Mad Men of SNL. And just as Saturday Night Live made moves to diversify their cast and their sketches this year, we're hoping Mad Men makes similar moves in this final season.

I've then noticed that if anti-aliasing was turned off (beta feature on APB), the game wouldn't crash. However, this will give you poor graphics. The best option is to turn off this setting in-game and then force anti-aliasing through your N-VIDIA console.

Delusional Confidence? Report from the Marijuana Investor Summit
"When we want to raise capital," said Dooma Wendschuh, the 38-year-old co-founder of a cannabis company called ebbu, "I go up to someone and say, 'Would you like to invest in my company? Here's how it will work. One: you may go to prison for making this investment. Two: I may go to prison, and you might lose all your money. Three: Our minimum investment is $250,000. Sure you want to play ball?"
There was nervous laughter from the crowd. It was the first day of the first Marijuana Investor Summit in Denver, and Wendschuh was speaking on a key panel, "Raising Funds."
More than 800 people from across the country had come to the Summit at the Crowne Plaza Hotel near the airport. It was a testosterone-fueled crowd, mostly white men in suits—entrepreneurs mixing with hedge fund managers and venture capitalists. But there were outliers: an Orthodox Jew, with a long white beard and tzitzit, whose family in Philadelphia wants to obtain the first license to grow medical marijuana in Pennsylvania; an African-American man who spent 17 years on Wall Street, then left to grow pot near Detroit; and a female doctor who wants to start a practice treating chronic diseases with cannabis.
All were convinced that the ongoing legalization of marijuana is creating an opportunity for people with a high tolerance for risk to make a killing.

When should you hire a landscape architect?
When taking your morning job in the park near you, you might not realize that those several alleys, benches and tree formations are the result of months of strategic urban planning. People associate architects with designing buildings, but their jobs also involve parks, botanical gardens and other outdoor projects. This is called landscape architecture and it's an essential part in the development of an outdoor space, be it commercial or private. This service is essential in various situations, out of which the following stand out.
Landscape architects and commercial outdoor projects
Landscape architects have all sorts of clients, but commercial ones stand out. For example, they can be contacted by local authorities to work on a Utomhusplan – an urban development plan that involves designing outdoor recreation areas such as public parks. Landscape architecture exists as a work field all over the world, but this industry is blooming in countries such as Norway, Sweden and Denmark, where there is a huge interest in eco-friendly Utomhusprosjekter. If you represent a government authority and you want to open or re-design a green outdoor area, it is absolutely essential that you hire a team of landskapsarkitekt Oslo, but only because they will create a plan that matches the style of the city, but also make sure that it meets safety and infrastructure quality standards.
Rehabilitating cultural heritage sites
A considerable part of the Byplanlegging process involves rehabilitating cultural heritage sites. This is a complicated, meticulous task and only an experienced landscape architect can supervise it. For example, if you're interested in something like Rehabilitering uterom, you have to keep two things in mind. On the one hand, the new structure must preserve the qualities and style of the original. On the other hand, it must integrate seamlessly to the overall design of the city, adding a breath of fresh air without clashing with the rest of the elements. If you hire a landscape planner for this purpose, you must have a rigorous selection process and only work with someone who has an outstanding portfolio. After all, commercial projects involve a great deal of responsibility and you don't want to leave a centuries-old space in the hands of an untrained landscaper. Hire someone who has worked on cultural rehabilitation projects before and has achieved stellar results with national recognition. It should be someone who understands local culture and its people and knows how to preserve the spirit of the city.
Private residential projects
Landscape architects also work on residential projects. For example, if you've started a complex home renovation project that also includes the garden, then hiring a landscape architect is key to having your personal oasis of relaxation. Whether you want to get something similar to a Japanese garden or just a small pond with some pebbles, they will help you create something truly unique and interesting. Needless to say, transforming your garden in such a way also increases the resale value of the house, so you are making an excellent investment for the future.

text: Well I went of the deep end today. I was awarded a new contract for about 386 acres of parks for the city. They require a 15 ft. mower for the contract so I placed an order for a new Toro 580D with 4 wheel drive and an air conditioned cab. This thing has a price tag of $72,801.00. they claim that the list price is around $85,000.00. Seems high to me but it is the best price that I could get. Has anyone bought one of these lately, and is this a good price? I now have conformation on contracts totaling a little over 540 acres for next year along with my residentals and small commerical properties. I am thinking about getting out of the residental market but have not made up my mind yet. I'll see what happens.

Health » Dental Care
You might have seen the numerous advertisements in newspapers and websites about dentists who specialize in aligning teeth. But do you know that the dentists who specialize in the art of teeth straightening are known as orthodontists? You may be surprised to know that an orthodontist has a number of years of specialized training beyond dental school in which he masters the art of aligning teeth. The work of a specialist is way beyond the simple drilling and filling of a tooth.
Orthodontists are trained professionals who deal with the study of malocclusions that are caused as a result of irregularities in teeth. These dentists specialize in treating dental displacements. Many patients develop facial imbalances due to improper alignment of teeth, jaws and lips. These dentists are able to tackle such issues and correct the crooked teeth. Thus, to enhance your smile, make use of a cosmetic dentist. Did you know that, at any given time, over 4 million people in United States are wearing braces? Out of those, around 25% areadults.
To correct the misalignment of teeth, a cosmetic dentist utilizes a variety of methods. To rectify minor errors, braces are usually used. This is done in cases, when the alignment of the patients teeth is classed as being clinically normal but braces are used to enhance their smile. With the advancement of technology, a wide variety of braces is now available on the market. You can choose ceramic braces which are match the colour of teeth and can be used as an alternative to metal braces. These are very strong and durable. If your teeth need fine tuning, Invisalign braces made of plastic are the best solution. For patients who want to correct their teeth alignment within a period of one year, fast braces are also available.
In cases where the teeth are completely out of alignment and there is no other way to rectify their arrangement by application of invisible braces, dental surgery is usually carried out. The surgery is quite critical as it often involves working upon the bone structure that supports the teeth. Therefore the role of a specialist is very important in this scenario. Besides, on obtaining perfectly aligned teeth, youd have the most beautiful smile. So, look for a good dentist as soon as possible. To find the best dentist in your neighbourhood, check out the web and type your query in the search engine. You will get a complete list of all the dentists in your area. Check out the reviews of these dentists and make an appointment as soon as possible to sort out your dental health problems.

Predicting Performance Via Automated Feature-Interaction Detection
Customizable programs and program families provide user-selectable features to allow users to tailor a program to an application scenario. Knowing in advance which feature selection yields the best performance is difficult because a direct measurement of all possible feature combinations is infeasible. The authors' work aims at predicting program performance based on selected features. However, when features interact, accurate predictions are challenging. An interaction occurs when a particular feature combination has an unexpected influence on performance. They present a method that automatically detects performance-relevant feature interactions to improve prediction accuracy. To this end, they propose three heuristics to reduce the number of measurements required to detect interactions.

Marketing: Festivals and Fairs!
Last weekend, I took part in our local Victorian Festival weekend. Even as an inhibited marketer, fairs and festivals are a great way to get out there and meet readers. If there's a group of you, that's better yet.
I lucked out. Our Chamber of Commerce representative is very author supportive, and there are quite a few of us in the area, of different genres. She sent info out and a couple of us sent it along to other authors we knew, and there were soon between 8 and 10 signed up. We didn't leave it as a booth only. We did a float.
Things were a bit scattered in the planning of our first ever local authors float, but the few of us who found our feet in this venture pulled it together well enough one of the other parade entries said we should win best float. We didn't, but that wasn't why we were there. We were making ourselves known.
I'm a bit of an obsessive type. Okay, maybe more than a bit. Either way, I didn't just find a Victorian-like outfit to wear on the float, but I spent days ahead of time printing out copies of short stories and excerpts for the booth, along with creating the big posters that were to go on each side of the float to say who we were. And, while deciding what I could throw as advertisement for the brand new author booth during the parade, trying to stay with the "olden days" feel, an idea snapped into my brain.
Paper airplanes.
You know, like those used in old makeshift entertainment days before Game Boys and iPods. We (and yes I'm old enough to have done it, also) used to grab old pieces of paper and shape them into airplanes. It's funny how long this simple game could amuse us. The perfect thing for an old-time float, I figured. And what better to make them from than some old flyers I have sitting around here that haven't been used.
Figure in the wind factor before considering throwing paper airplanes from a moving float, by all means, as at least one came back directly at us. Overall, though, they went over great! I threw one and kids down the line asked for their own.
Of course, this idea might be best for children's books, but maybe some of their parents actually looked at what was written inside the planes. Either way, it mixed books with fun. That's an attention getter. My idea of stapling cheap printer made business cards with my info and a plea to come see us at the author's booth to pieces of wrapped candy worked less well. They were hard to throw out far enough. Never fear, I also had plenty of candy without the cards attached.
Another author on the float threw pencils, which I had considered and opted instead for the planes. Pencils are a good idea, especially if they have your name and website engraved on them.
So, the float was a lot of fun and attracted attention for the booth.
At the booth, things were much slower. A lot of people come to fairs just to browse and enjoy walking around being sociable. There didn't appear to be very many buyers at any of the booths. (Although the guy creating metal birdhouse stake-holders and such did well, judging by how many walked away!)
Some of my fellow authors were disappointed at the lack of sales. I wasn't. That's not because mine were better, but because I didn't expect a lot in the first place. We're unknowns. Books are rather expensive these days. It's a risk for buyers, most of whom now are economy-concerned.
What I mainly went there to do was to get my name out farther. That, I did. Armed with free stories and excerpts, plus pencils and bookmarks, I said hello to anyone who approached, gave them some time to look, then offered a writing sample to take with them. Of course, I do always maintain hope of good sales, and I always take many more books with me than I need, but hope is good as long as reality is mixed with it.
I did sell books. Even if the quantity was low, those are books I would not have sold if I hadn't bothered to try. And how many of those who took the free reads will look me up at the local places I mentioned where they were available, or online, and buy there? I can't know. I can know that I was out there spreading my name. I also met a lot of readers and had some nice conversations. I even managed to do it without the rapid pulse and red face that has normally come about with public appearances: a wonderful step up for the truly social phobic.
I have to mention how much of the fun of the weekend was simply hanging out with other authors and talking craft and ideas, along with anything else that came to mind. I hope it will be a continuing tradition.
So much of marketing is name recognition. I strongly believe that reviews, awards, and "best seller" status is much less important than someone seeing your name and recognizing it.
By the way, at this point, I've moved up to #19 on the Smashwords most viewed authors list and sales have grown. Something is still working.
Oh, and the sweater in the photo above to give myself a more Victorian look? It was on long enough for the photo. Sweaters, even light ones, are not meant for 90-some degree days and high humidity. I can't imagine how the Victorian ladies and gentleman managed.

Hi Loraine,
Sounds wonderful. I can remember the paper planes too, we used tomake them in class at school then when the teacher's back was turned aimed them at him. The flaot sounds like a good idea. You have got a great philosphy, have fun there and if you sell a book, well it is a bonus. Wish they would have something like this where I live.
- Celia Yeary said...
LORAINE--I'm so glad I didn't pass this up. You? The quiet author, who is a bit of an introvert, riding on a float in a costume? I cannot imagine. Good for you. This is the first time I've ever heard of authors promoting by riding on a float. I bet this has never happened. The paper airplanes were a stroke of genius. Congratulations on your sales. Celia
- LK Hunsaker said...
Margaret, LOL! Well, the first one I threw was at the beginning where a police officer was standing to make sure no one tried to drive through, and he said, "That's littering." Oops. ;-)
Can you start something like that? Any other authors in your area? I would guess there are.
- LK Hunsaker said...
Celia, amazing, isn't it? Just proves you can if you think you can. ;-) But also, I'm getting pretty comfortable in my new town.
Thank you!
- Rebecca J Vickery said...
Hi LK,
Sounds like a fun day, with or without a lot of sales. And you did get your name out there which I need to bite the bullet and do more of too. LOL The paper planes were a new idea and a way of recycling. Can't imagine wearing long dresses and petticoats and sweaters in the 90 degree heat, though.
Congrats on your ranking at SW.
Way to go!!!
- Linda Acaster said...
We've just had a carnival in my town - tho I was away this year and missed it - but it attracts lots of people. I've never 'seen' how to use it to my advantage, but the idea of getting my name out with free excerpts is good. How long were these free reads? As in how many pages - the physical thing to hand out?
- Francesca Prescott said...
What a lovely idea, and what a wonderful experience this must have been. I can SO relate to worrying about your racing pulse and the state/colour of your cheeks because in times of stress my entire body turns bright red, so it just goes to show how right this must have felt for you. I'm proud of you :)
Love the paper planes idea, too!
xx Francesca
- Danielle Thorne said...
Loraine, thanks for sharing this experience. Great ideas--and I'm glad you had a good time. That's really important, too! I never thought of doing fairs or festivals before--I'll have to add that to my list of smart ideas.
- Savanna Kougar said...
LK, that is such a winner of an idea, everything you did, even if it all didn't work as well as hoped! Makes me wish I could have joined in. And, yes, I remember paper airplanes. Boys, I knew spent lots of time perfecting theirs to fly faster and better.
I used to attend the Renn faire because I just adored being in that atmosphere. Now, I'm too far away.
One time I worked a hat booth. I even got over myself enough to go out and plop hats on people and interact with them in a wonderful way. I never knew I had it in me.
Oh, and we would design hat wear on the spot for customers. What creative fun that was.
Maybe, it's the whole atmosphere of a faire... something is freed in us.
- StephB said...
Loraine, thanks so much for sharing this experience. I think just being out there and socializing is important. It gets your name out there locally. I'm glad you had this opportunity. Thanks for sharing. You've got some nice ideas.
- LK Hunsaker said...
Rebecca, it was fun! Well, most of it. ;-) It looks like you're doing well getting your name out there, from what I've seen. It does take forever or it feels like forever. And thank you!
Linda, the short stories I used were roughly 1,000-2,000 words each, and I formatted them on half-fold pages. One used one page, printed front and back, no cover, and the other used two sheets folded together, with cover. For the excerpt, I had a title page with all of the info, then parts of the first two chapters to get a glimpse of both main characters, 4 pages in all. If you can go together on a booth with someone else, all the better, both for attracting interest and because there's generally a fee.
- LK Hunsaker said...
Francesca, yes, I'm sure that was part of it, that it felt right, and also having such wonderful authors there with me!
Danielle, thank you, and if you do one, I hope you'll blog about it. :-)
- LK Hunsaker said...
Savanna, it would have been nice for you to join in. :-) It probably was the fair atmosphere, also, and maybe just because when you're so passionate about something, you just go with your passion and ignore other things. ;-)
Steph, that's been my recent focus - my local area. Nice that I have willing assistance from my community!
- Linda Banche said...
Good for you, LK. If you try, you may fail, but you may succeed, too. You did get your name out there, and that's what counts.
- Andra M. said...
What fun! I'm sure sharing the float with other authors helped the introvert within spread out a little more.
And congrats on the #19 ranking!
Did you get pictures of the float?

Know it's a drill when you hear them say, "Police from multiple agencies responded." Shootings are the jurisdiction of the police where they are located. They don't need help from other organizations. This is a multi-jurisdictional drill.
13 minutes in of the Orlando Fire dispatch they are told to go to debriefing. When do you debrief an emergency worker about their job? You don't unless it's a drill and they are told what to say and what not to say.
And let me further state that this whole triage thing is a fake staged event for the new media to photograph. WHEN AN AMBULANCE SHOWS UP TO A SHOOTING, THEY TAKE THE INJURED TO THE HOSPITAL. They don't treat people like it's some M,A.S.H. unit out on the battlefield. They transport the people to the hospital as quickly as they can. They also don't sit around in groups with the lights flashing and them doing nothing. They are in the business to get to the scene and transport the injured. THAT'S IT. IT'S A DRILL
Additional proof is the fact they remove the archive of the police broadcasts during the time the events take place.
More for your education as to these drill HOAX events.
