Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A billion-dollar superstore has its sights set on a small Minnesota river town for its next outlet. Two very angry groups want to stop it: local merchants, fearing for their businesses, and environmentalists, predicting ecological disaster. The protests are ignored, until a bomb goes off at the megastore's Michigan headquarters — the first of a series of explosions.
The blasts are meant to inflict maximum damage and utmost fear. They do. Virgil Flowers has been enlisted to find out who's behind the dangerous acts, but the answer he uncovers may be the biggest shock of all. Review:"Once you start Shock Wave, you'll read it straight through, quickly, compulsively, happy the whole time to be in such good hands." The Washington Post
Review:"Wry humor, a fully realized lead, and tense atmospherics…one of his best outings to date." Publishers Weekly
Review:"The Flowers series is…formed from the same elements that make the Davenport books such a joy to read: sharp characterization, witty dialogue and, at heart, a gritty, often puzzling mystery. If Shock Wave is any indication, Flowers has a better than even chance of equaling if not surpassing Davenport in the hearts and minds of Sandford's legion of readers." Bookreporter.com
About the AuthorJohn Sandford is the author of twenty-two Prey novels, most recently Stolen Prey; the Virgil Flowers novels, most recently Shock Wave; and six other books. He lives in Minnesota.

A place to call home
What it is that makes a place home?
Joy Bricker, 79, will tell you home is not a house or even an apartment. For more than 10 years, home has been room 202 at the Marriott Towneplace Suites.
"My sole goal when I checked in here was to make contacts with friends and see what was out there that I might get a job doing," Bricker says.
She went to work and after 8 years retired, but never left the Falls Church hotel.
Along the way, she found more than a place to stay or to call home. She found a second family miles away from her daughter in western New York.
Hotel General Manager Bobby Bellinger even waited with her at the hospital after she fell last November, breaking her hip.
"She made it a point to make us part of her family so it was very easy for us to make her part of ours," Bellinger says.
On Thursday, months away from turning 80, Joy will check out and live with her daughter. She's not sure if she'll be back this way again or not.
"I'll weep a lot, and I'll be weepy with her for a few weeks," she says.

By V. Phani Kumar, MarketWatch
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Chinese steel makers soared to extend their rally Tuesday after Mysteel.com and other local media reports said authorities have asked several companies to temporarily suspend production in order to help China meet its energy-saving targets.
The reported measures, which follow government moves recently to similarly pare overcapacity in a number of industries, are largely expected to hurt smaller, energy-inefficient companies, but would benefit the bigger steel makers at a time when stock inventories are also running low, analysts say.
Citigroup analyst Scarlett Chen wrote in a note to clients Tuesday that 18 provinces in China have either ordered high energy-consuming industries to suspend production or have tripled electricity tariffs.
Chen said that under the 11th Five-Year Plan, which covers 2006 through 2010, China has targeted a 20% reduction for energy consumption and carbon output, but only a 14.38% reduction has been achieved over the past four years.
Hon Hai rethinks relationship with workers
As wages rise in China's coastal regions, Hon Hai is pushing aggressively inland and revising its social contract with employees.
"Given the power-cut measures, industry production will stay at low levels, with small mills sacrificed," Chen said, adding that daily steel production in China shrank to 1.71 metric tons in the second 10 days of August from 1.72 metric tons in the first 10 days because of a sharp reduction in output at the smaller players.
In Tuesday's trading, shares of Angang Steel Co. /quotes/zigman/16855/realtime HK:347 -1.91% /quotes/zigman/314077/delayed/quotes/nls/anggy ANGGY +0.85% jumped 4%, while Maanshan Iron & Steel Co. /quotes/zigman/11927/realtime HK:323 -2.38% /quotes/zigman/11929/delayed/quotes/nls/maanf MAANF -4.44% climbed 5.5% in Hong Kong. The stocks had risen 6.6% and 10.1%, respectively, on Monday.
Steel makers also rose sharply on the mainland bourses, with Anyang Iron & Steel Inc. /quotes/zigman/1867566/realtime CN:600569 +1.19% gaining 2.1%, Maanshan /quotes/zigman/1859103/realtime CN:600808 +0.64% soaring 8.1%, and Jinan Iron & Steel Co. /quotes/zigman/1870096/realtime CN:600022 +0.64% adding 2.5% in Shanghai, while Angang /quotes/zigman/1864468/realtime CN:000898 -0.71% climbed 1.5% in Shenzhen.
The performance was better than the broad markets, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475/realtime HK:HSI -1.65% the Shanghai Composite each slipping 0.2%. Elsewhere in the region, Japan's Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735/realtime JP:NIK -2.59% gave up 0.2%, South Korea's Kospi fell 0.1%, and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 /quotes/zigman/1653884/realtime AU:XJO -0.55% was flat.
Prices, margins rising
"We expect the production cuts and the seasonally strong demand for steel from the construction industry in September and October should lift steel prices and raise the industry margin in the short term," said BofA Merrill Lynch analysts led by Yongtao Shi.
The analysts said steel traders' inventory levels have declined about 20% from the levels seen in March 2010.
"Given the low inventory and rising prices, we believe there can potentially be a restocking cycle that should, in turn, further support steel prices," they said.
Improved profit margins for steel makers were in turn likely to support shares of companies that produce coking coal, an important raw material used in the steel-making process, Merrill Lynch said.
Merrill kept its buy recommendations on coking-coal producers such as Fushan International Energy Group /quotes/zigman/33714/realtime HK:639 0.00% and Hidili Industry International Development Ltd. /quotes/zigman/39932/realtime HK:1393 -2.20% . Shares of Fushan dropped 1.3%, and Hidili rose 0.4% Tuesday in Hong Kong.

The Perfect San Francisco Shoe? Thank Martha Davis
Hear, ye! Hear, ye! We may very well have found the perfect San Francisco shoe – no easy feat in a town where hills, fierce winds and flirtatious pockets of summer sun are all in a day's walk.
The hot-stepper we've set our sights on is an open-toe, open-heel leather boot courtesy of local footwear designer Martha Davis, whose wedge-heavy debut collection ($270-$750) for spring summer 2009 has garnered much praise since its launch earlier this year.
"I couldn't find the right stuff to wear in this crazy climate. It's been really great to have that as a problem to address," explains Davis, who leans on her 15+ years of experience in industrial and high-tech product design to create her highly sculptural, yet easy-to-wear women's shoes.
While Davis is not, admittedly, the first or the only designer to play with the open-toe, open-heel boot silhouette of late, we love the Lower Haight resident's version not simply for its year-round potential and local roots, but also for having a heel low enough for comfortable walking and a modern, streamlined silhouette that we could easily dress up or down.
"I'm always trying to balance the functionality and the beauty, and that's kind of coming from my industrial design background….You have to make sure it works and make it desirable," Davis tells us.
Along with Davis's signature boot, the designer recently unleashed fall offerings upon local retailers such as San Francisco's Harputs Market, Metier, Gimme Shoes, as well as Oakland's McMullen and Walnut Creek's Deliciouz.
Kick back with Davis's latest in person during a trunk show tomorrow night from 6-9 p.m. at the Silverman Gallery, where Davis and local labels Serial Cultura, Michaela Greg and Stars + Ravens join forces to showcase recent collections and offer current items for sale.

Drunk Driving: V8 Powered Barstools
Featured at SEMA 2007, these Hossfly V8 Barstools are exactly what they sound like. Unless you were thinking they were made from a tomato-based beverage that tastes like ass. If you were thinking that you were wrong. I'm talking engines here. I want one. Oh, and the steering wheel should have a cocktail table attachment for when you're parked. Just make sure to clear the table and stow it before taking off. Otherwise you'll have to explain to police why you were driving a barstool and cocktail table loaded with drinks down the sidewalk with no lights on. Which isn't easy.
A video of them in action after the jump, which allegedly doesn't give an accurate portrayal of the noise these things crank out.

How To Turn An AK-47 Into A Soup Ladle
A DIY metaphor for peace
Changing swords into plowshares and spears into pruning-hooks is an ancient metaphor for turning away from violence and toward peaceful labor. Mike Izbicki, a former Navy midshipman who in 2011 was discharged from service as a conscientious objector, has created a modern-day, literal interpretation of the analogy. He recently transformed an AK-47 that had been used by the Romanian army during the Cold War into a (rather heavy) serving ladle. Here's how he did it:
1. Disassemble the gun: Assault rifles are filled with interlocking parts, many of which don't lend themselves particularly well to reforging. Izbicki took just the metal barrel assembly for his ladle.
2. Set up the anvil: When not busy falling on cartoon character's heads, an anvil serves a vital purpose in metalwork by providing a strong, hard surface against which metal can be shaped by hammer blows. Izbicki purchased an anvil and 5-lb hammer online for $80.
3. Make a forge: Izbicki stacked cinderblocks on top of a large propane stove burner to create his forge. Temperatures inside the cinderblock chamber rose above 2,000 degrees Fahreinheit.
4. Hammer time: Once the metal gun barrel was red-hot from the furnace, Izbicki hammered it against the anvil to change its shape from gun-like to mess-like.
5. Hammers, part two: After removing extra caked-on metal with pliers, the next step was shaping the flattened barrel into a rounded body that could hold liquid. Izbicki accomplished this by hammering the spatula-like shape at an angle.
6. Don't eat with it: Even if the barrel turns into a perfectly smooth and liquid-bearing spoon, this tool should not be used with real food. A gun that's been fired has gunpowder residue on it, which is full of lead and can cause adverse health effects when inhaled or ingested.
Of course, the point of this project was to render the gun useless, not to create a practical utensil. It isn't plowshares or prune hooks, but it is one less gun.
Consider it per-forge-mance art.
See more of Izbicki's project here.
I kind of got the idea that POP SCI was anti gun rights, but this is just ridiculous. Did we really need a story on how to turn a useful tool into a spoon that can't even be used for food? This is not science this is not popular... start living up to your name.
Ace, if you look at the URL for this site, you'll see it ends in .com. That means this is a commercial site, which means their purpose isn't to provide unbiased information about science that is popular. It means their purpose is to make money. If they have a successful business model catering to left-leaning individuals and it's working for them, then they are doing their job properly. Welcome to Capitalism.
How to turn a soup laddle into an AK 47 -
(1) I'm only going to discuss the barrel assembly (which isn't even the "gun" since the gun is the upper reciever).
(2) Gather several steel soup laddles, melt them in a cruicible in a very hot furnace (crucibles can be purchased online and the furnace can be similar to the one described above). Pour it into a mold to make a bar of solid steel. Alternately you can simply buy a bar of steel.
(3) Using a .28 inch drill bore a hole through the bar of steel using a drill press. Rifleing can be added with a tap purchased online or made yourself.
(4) Drill out the chamber using your press drill and a 7.62X39 shell as a guide for fit.
(5) At this point all you have to do is drill the gas port, thread the ends (a standard pipe threader will do), add the other furniture, spot weld it on, and assemble it with the rest of the firearm parts.
Crazy how much easier it is to destroy a functional tool with a hammer and anvil than it is to create one. This amature couldn't even get a spoon right.
Might I also add that using 1000+BC technology to turn 1947 technology into 6000BC technology (a blunt instrament only useful for beating things with) is the OPPOSITE of technology and progress.
Add to that this hypocracy is on the same page with an article boasting about 80+ years of ARMED MILITARY using naval planes and drones.
Is Bloomberg's ink still wet on that check, PopSci (Populist Socialism)?
@ Oakspar77777
I feel obligated to warn you to delete your comments. As this is a publicly accessible website, we run the awful risk of someone in another country reading your post, learning how to make a gun, and taking over the world. To prevent this from happening, the Department of Homeland Security may decide to arrest you and lock you in a dark hole for all eternity. So for your sake, and that of the world, please delete your post!
The guy who made that ladle is seriously stupid. Who spends a couple hundred dollars on a gun, $80 on equipment, and probably hours and hours of time, all to make a spoon that will kill you if you use it? Instead of shooting someone, he is offering them a slow and painful death from heavy metal poisoning or whatever else can result from using the spoon.
On a completely unrelated point, the PopSci spam filter is junk! there are hundreds of spam posts all over this website that never get removed, and yet they routinely flag my comments as spam and make me enter CAPTCHA's to post them.
Thank you for the kind warning, arathorn867, but since every bushbeater in the 3rd world already has an AK47 (and a real select fire one, not a semi-auto milled out Romanian WASR10 like I have and the loser destroyed) I have no fear that someone will take over the world with my poor description of ineffective and inefficient metalwork.
Rather, it would seem the only thing I have to fear is HLS getting their panties in a wad over me - and I own more than enough firearms, legally purchased with background checks and all the rest, to already be on their lists (and BAFTs as well).
I doubt they would come for me, however, since I am sufficiently patriotic, law abiding, respected, and armed that it would be another Ruby Ridge PR nightmare for them to try (and that is the kind of PR they do not want, considering how many barely stable people out there are waiting for an excuse to start shooting "the gubbermint").
I used to see a magazine on the newsstands years ago that had something to do with articles about explanations of new science for the average person. It was a lot of fun because it was a good place to find new gadgets and interesting ideas about a lot of things.
I will have to find the website for that magazine one day. I thought it was Popular Science (which there ought to be a lot of in these modern times) but Popular Science seems to be filled with stupid crap all the time.
Maybe some idiot editor will do their readers the favor to come forth and explain what articles like this have to do with "science" -- whatever you may think of AK47s.
Oh, look! I can take any random hunk of metal and beat it into another shape that is just a useless piece of junk! That is major research, right there.
Change the name of the magazine to Idiots On Parade if you are going to post this kind of nonsense.

Getting Dreamweaver MX Up to Speed with PHP | |
Subject: | don't bother if you use Mac OS! | |
Date: | 2003-03-10 13:22:16 | |
From: | anonymous2 | |
Dreamweaver MX is terribly broken with complex server behaviors--even the ones designed by Macromedia. You simply cannot do a web application in PHP with Dreamweaver MX on Mac. You'll run into out of memory errors caused by their bad JavaScript interpreter and DWMX will crash even more than it usually does! |

don't bother if you use Mac OS!

I was just reading the README for Mac users from the Phakt download pages and they have developed a DW extension to fix this very problem. Only good for DWMX 6.1 -
don't bother if you use Mac OS!

NVP Counselor
Date: 2006-04-26
Some of the woman writing in have such severe NVP that I feel guilty complaining at all. I had quite severe nausea but little vomitting in my first pregnancy. It lasted from week 7-16. I am now 9 weeks pregnant with my second and I started taking Diclectin at 6 weeks. I have the most severe nausea in the evenings. My question is two-fold. Is there any risk taking in Dicletin for less severe symptoms and what is the optimal time to taks the medication for evening/night symptoms.
Thank you
Just because you do not vomit, it does not
mean that it is not severe and absolutely you should
be treated. In fact sometimes severe nausea can be
worse as it never lets up, whereas once you vomit at
least you feel better for a little while. It certainly
is not harmful to the baby and as Diclectin is long
acting, it is important that you take it at the
prescribed times of one in the morning, one in the
afternoon and 2 are for the morning sicknessa, but as
yours is more severe in the evening you could take
the 2 in the afternoon instead to help with the
evening nausea.

If you visit Claiborne, Alabama today you will find a ghost town. The town experienced its heyday more than a century ago when cotton was king and its location on the Alabama River made the town prosper. Claiborne got its name from General Ferdinand Claiborne, who built a fort there in 1813. As the area flourished from the growing of cotton, wheat, corn and rice, Claiborne emerged as an important trading center. Boats laden with cotton and other commodities stopped at this bustling river port nearly every day. By 1820, the total population of Claiborne had reached between 5,000 and 6,000 making it one of the biggest cities in the state. Claiborne's proximity to Cahawba, which was the state capitol between 1820 and 1825, also added to its importance.
Jews arrived in Claiborne by the early 1840s. Like in other Southern towns, Jews came to Claiborne as peddlers and rural merchants. Their first act as a Jewish community was to acquire land for a Jewish cemetery in 1843. By 1846, the Jews in Claiborne had requested a Sefer Torah and expected to worship together for the High Holidays. By 1853, the congregation, know as "Claiborne Congregation" had fifteen members. Leopold Maas functioned as the hazan (service leader), shochet (kosher butcher) and mohel (ritual circumciser) for the congregation. An immigrant from Bavaria, Maas owned a store and raised six children in Claiborne.
Claiborne began to decline with the arrival of yellow fever and cholera epidemics. The Civil War also took a heavy toll, when Union soldiers occupied the town and looted much of its contents. While the town continued after the war, many of Claiborne's merchants moved away. By 1872, only 350 people remained. The final blow to Claiborne came with the railroad, which expanded across the South after the Civil War. Interior river towns like Claiborne were supplanted as train tracks allowed for more efficient and predictable shipping for the region's crops. Claiborne's fate was sealed when the railroad came through Monroe County and bypassed the town.
Though there were a small number of Jews in Claiborne, they made significant contributions to Alabama history. The sons of Leopold Maas are an example of this. Simon Maas eventually moved to Selma and served as president of Congregation Mishkan Israel there for 17 years from 1885-1902. He also served as Mayor of Selma in 1887. Charles Maas fought for the Confederacy during the war, as did Louis and Abraham Klein also fought for the Confederacy. The Klein brothers moved to Mobile after Claiborne's decline and operated a clothing store called A.&L. Klein. Julius Jacobson, served as a private in the Alabama infantry during the Civil War. Jacobson's brother Morris was a Prussian immigrant who operated a dry goods business and was considered a leader in the Jewish community.
After the Civil War, Nathan Feibelman moved to Claiborne, serving as postmaster from 1869 to 1871. He also partnered with Meyer Metzger in the operation of Metzger & Feibelman. When Claiborne began to decline, most Jews moved south to Mobile. The Rothschild family was one of the last families to remain in Claiborne. Kossuth Rothschild operated K.E. Rothschild & Co., a general merchandise store that was still in operation as late as 1916. By 1920, no Rothschilds remained in Claiborne.
Today, the only sign of what was once a vibrant Jewish community is the gravestones in the cemetery, which has been inactive since 1899, the date of the last burial. Currently, the Claiborne Jewish cemetery is in good condition. In 1967 it was vandalized and in the years since weeds and brush covered most of the gravestones. In 2000, 85 rising high school freshmen and sophomores from the Henry S. Jacobs Camp in Utica, Mississippi helped to restore the cemetery by clearing brush and uncovering the graves. Thirty-two graves were revealed. There may be no Jewish soul left in Claiborne, but its history illuminates important aspects of Alabama Jews. Claiborne's Jews showed strong support for the Confederacy, the ease with which Jews assimilated into the merchant class, and the powerful desire to maintain their religious traditions, despite their small numbers.

Young band creates and competes with their music
NISSWA, Minn. (AP) — Forget Ringo, Paul, John and George.By: JODIE TWEED, Brainerd Dispatch
NISSWA, Minn. (AP) — Forget Ringo, Paul, John and George.
Meet Tanner, Danny, Josiah and Nick — the musical foursome known as Offside.
The band members are 9 and 10 years old — so young that they make pop singers Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus look ancient.
But the four boys, all friends and fellow hockey players, have big dreams and have been working hard for the last two months to make those dreams come true. They've written their own songs and practice together for a couple hours every Saturday.
Their first "gig" will be in the annual Nisswa Elementary School variety show in June. The group is the closing act for the variety show and they hope to dazzle their classmates with their music, but also with a fog machine, a siren and strobe lights during their performance. They'll be performing three musical selections, including a couple of original songs.
Danny Olson, 9, a Nisswa third-grader and the son of Holly and Chris Olson of Nisswa, approached three of his friends about starting the band. He's been playing piano for the past four years. He plays keyboard in the group.
"I asked them if they wanted to make some music and they agreed," Olson explained. "It's fun, we all like music. We put a lot of effort into it. When you get really good, it feels good."
Other band members include Tanner Larson, 10, a Nisswa fourth-grader and the son of Kim and Colette Larson of Nisswa, who plays electric guitar; Josiah Klang, 9, a Nisswa third-grader and the son of Eric and Annette Klang of rural Brainerd, who plays the drums; and Nick Hastings, 9, a Nisswa third-grader and the son of Pat and Teri Hastings of Lake Shore, who plays tambourine and sings.
The boys practice in Klang's bedroom, which he shares with his 6-year-old brother, Jed, who usually is booted out during rehearsals.
They said they like classic rock, like AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. But their parents hope they stick with songs like "Rockin' Robin" for a while.
"I just passed it off at first," Holly Olson said of the band her son started. "But Danny's been playing piano for four years and he's just so serious about it. I think it's great, I really do."
Klang also has taken four years of piano lessons. The two boys plan to perform piano solos at the upcoming variety show, in addition to performing with Offside.
"They just love it, it's really cute," said Annette Klang, of her son's band. "They play pretty much the whole time, then come upstairs and have cookies and leave. They all seem to have intensely driven personalities and they do well in whatever they do. They really are very decent for being only 9 and 10 years old."
"Danny has told kids that they're going to go pro," Holly Olson said with a smile.
Band members said they hope to one day perform in concerts in the area and are thinking about entering the Crow Wing County Fair talent contest later this summer.
Stay tuned.

We've barely waded into the resort collections and already what's surfacing is a sense of lightness—there's nothing that weighs you down in either body or mind. Perhaps that's not surprising given that these clothes—if you want to be literal about it—are intended for tropical climes. But as that escapist vision strays further from many people's truths, designers have been throwing thick wool coats into the mix to be worn immediately, and usually in the city. While the concession to reality is appreciated, it's just as nice to see (and buy) clothes that don't look like a lot of work.
This is where Reed Krakoff's resort collection comes in; his beaded polo shirts, silky slip dresses, and layered tanks were an exercise in opulent, easy practicality. You could argue, of course, that Krakoff's entire raison d'etre is opulent practicality (this is a man who never met an exotic skin he couldn't turn into a chic, utilitarian tote). But this season especially he turned out clothes that felt as easy to wear as a T-shirt, even if they were a sleeveless sweater with leather shoulders and a matching, side-slit skirt. He's also using softer fabrics and cutting closer to the body these days, which lends a sportiness to pieces like a calf-length, slashed skirt or an ankle-zip pant. You see, for Krakoff, fluidity isn't synonymous with bohemian. He can't help but allow his exacting nature to shine through in the precise tailoring and sharp, asymmetrical lines.
Accessories included a new cap-toe, midi-heel shoe, a miniature alligator bag with a rigid, stainless-steel chain and a great watch studded with metal baubles. And yes, there was a coat or two—the best being a minimal khaki trench with tangerine taping. It's the kind of piece that, as the cold summer rain in New York proved yesterday, can be worn all year round.

Gala Season Shopping: Where to go for the perfect party dress
One of the most common questions I get right around this time—the calm before the gala season storm—is "Where should I go shopping in San Francisco for a party dress?" And with all the back-to-back events that hit in September and October, the ladies are typically looking to avoid the horror of all fashion horrors: the dreaded McFrock that shows up all over town on every other gal the same night. Other than the usual department store suspects, where else can you shop on short notice for that next formal affair?
