Better Business Bureau warns of asphalt scammers
An asphalt paving contractor is using a false Oak Creek address and apparently scamming homeowners, according to a warning from Wisconsin's Better Business Bureau.
According to the warning, representatives of the James Joles Asphalt Paving have approached homeowners with cut-rate prices for "extra" asphalt leftover from other jobs.
The BBB stated customer complaints ranged from bad workmanship to damaged property. Money is required before the work.
To top it off, the address listed by the company, 6508 S. 27th St., Suite 9, #116, is the site of a UPS store that has nothing to do with the asphalt company.
"Unfortunately, we this type of scam arise every year when the weather warms up," said Ran Hoth, Wisconsin BBB president. "Their work is shoddy and customers can't reach them after they finish the job.» Read Full Article
Bicyclist in Franklin struck, killed by motorist
A 41-year-old Franklin woman was killed Friday evening while riding her bicycle on State Highway 100 and Elm Court in Franklin.
According to Franklin Police, the bicyclist crossed over oncoming traffic to turn onto Elm Court shortly before 8 p.m. She was transported by ambulance to Froedtert Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Police offered no other information about the woman or the driver of the vehicle that struck her.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office said it would not release information about her until Tuesday.
Greendale spoils Franklin football dedication, 31-14
Franklin threw itself a party when it dedicated the brand-new Sullivan Stadium Friday night in front of an overflow house.
But it was the visiting Greendale football team that was doing the celebrating, as the Panthers scored 21 points off of four second half Saber turnovers and turned a sleepy 3-0 halftime lead into a resounding 31-14 victory.
An exuberent Panther coach Rob Stoltz told his team "That they should get excited" about what they accomplished tonight and then happily asked his players one by one "How ya feel?, How ya feel?"
Every answer was "good" or "great", as well it should have been as the 2-0 returning WIAA State D3 runner-ups knocked off the host Sabers (1-1), who were WIAA state D1 runner-ups last season themselves.
Stoltz noted that when most people think of Greendale football, they think of returning all-state quarterback Josh Ringelberg and the high-powered Panther offense, but he was pleased as punch with the four turnovers his defense created.» Read Full Article

Alverno College students to work with Greendale schools for reading program
Greendale — Alverno College students will work with Greendale elementary schools this year as part of a special program for reading instruction.
Pre-service teachers from the college will participate in a reading methods course designed to develop an understanding of the theory and strategies for reading instruction.
An Alverno professor will be on-site with the college students in the Greendale Schools to teach. Every Alverno student in the course will be paired with an elementary classroom to observe and engage in, while putting their theoretical learning into practice.
"This direct connection and experience before student teaching provides pre-service teachers with a deeper understanding of their theoretical learning and practical skills as they enter the profession," said Greendale Communications Director Kitty Goyette.
The Alverno course will begin in September.

Police say train accident was 'apparent suicide' by Oak Creek man
A train-pedestrian accident in Wauwatosa this morning seems to have been a suicide, according to an initial investigation by Wauwatosa Police. Police said the man who died was from Oak Creek.
Police responded to the collision shortly after 8 a.m. in the 6000 block of W. State Street, where the man was killed by a westbound freight train.
Canadian Pacific Spokesman Andy Cummings said the CP train crew saw the man on the tracks, blew the train's whistle and applied the emergency brakes before colliding with him.
The front of the train that hit the man was stopped for hours after the collision near 62nd and State, a couple blocks from where the collision reportedly occurred. Cummings said freight trains can take a mile or more to stop after hitting the brakes.
Cummings said the man was not at a regular crossing, such as a street, sidewalk or driveway. A shallow ditch with shrubbery separates the north side of the track from the sidewalk on State Street but there is no fence.» Read Full Article

Greendale trustees rescind polling place referendum question
Greendale — Polling places will remain in Greendale schools during elections — at least for the near future — after the board of trustees unanimously approved to rescind its referendum question addressing the controversial topic Monday evening.
The board of trustees approved the referendum question, which would ask residents whether or not they wanted polling places to be removed from district schools, in July.
Concerns regarding student safety during election days quickly grew earlier this year, after members of the Highland View Elementary PTO expressed their fears before the Greendale School Board last December.
In response, the school district requested in a formal letter that the Village of Greendale remove its polling places from schools by the general election on November 2. The school district sent another letter to the board of trustees last week, which redefined its request and granted permission to keep polling places in schools for the election due to "the various challenges faced by the Village."
Both letters were rescinded by the school board last week, thereby removing the need for a referendum question.» Read Full Article
Flight for Life responds to rollover accident in Greendale
Greendale — A vehicle rollover accident that occurred this afternoon resulted in a Flight for Life operation, according to a report from the Village of Greendale.
The report stated that at approximately 2:45 p.m., Greendale Police and Fire Crews responded to a rollover accident on Highway 36, just south of Root River Parkway.
Crews found one occupant trapped in the cab of a construction truck and Flight for Life was called to the scene for a prolonged extrication.
Fire crews were able to recover the occupant from the vehicle and the individual was transferred to Froedert Medical Center by Flight for Life.
Greendale was assisted by the Franklin Police Department, Franklin Fire Department, Hales Corners Fire Department and the Greenfield Fire Department.» Read Full Article

Complaint: St. Francis man played with gun before wounding girlfriend
A man who tried to blame a St. Francis shooting on a "short Hispanic man" has been charged with obstructing police and with the shooting.
His false claim led police from several agencies to swarm an area of St. Francis last week looking for the supposedly armed suspect.
The real story was that Lloyd R. Robinson, 24, of St. Francis was playing with his handgun at an E. Tesch Ave. apartment Thursday when he accidentally shot his girlfriend, police say.
According to the criminal complaint released Monday:
Robinson called 911 about 3:30 a.m. to report that his girlfriend had been shot. He told police a "short Hispanic male" in blue, possibly a gang member, had fired the shot from a revolver then ran off.» Read Full Article
Mason's scoring spree leads Slinger past Whitnall
Senior running back Jacob Mason rushed for five touchdowns and scored a total of 38 points as visiting Slinger spoiled the debut of new Whitnall head coach Jared McGranahan with a 44-16 victory over the host Falcons.
Mason, who also serves as the Owls placekicker, scored on runs of 30, 10, 8, 5, and 4 yards as Slinger controlled the line of scrimmage from the opening kickoff. His 30-yard scamper on Slinger's first offensive possession got the Owls on the board, and his 33-yard field goal on their second drive staked them to an early 10-0 lead.
"If you aren't where you need to be, and you don't use proper technique, you won't get a second shot against that young man (Mason)," said McGranahan. "He took a few long on us, and he is a heck of a player.
Whitnall answered with an offensive drive deep into Slinger territory, but Falcons quarterback Tyler Merritt was intercepted looking for receiver Michael Grim on an out route, as Slinger defensive back Jesse Bellefeuil undercut Grim to make the play at the Owls 10-yard-line. Bellefeuil, who muffed a punt that Slinger recovered on the previous series, returned the interception all the way to Whitnall's 36-yard line, and Mason would hammer home his second touchdown of the game three plays later. Bellefeuil's show of mental toughness was not lost on his head coach.
"I always tell our kids that when they make a mistake, they are going to get another opportunity to make a play," said Slinger head coach Bill Jacklin. "These games are really momentum driven, and that play helped us greatly."» Read Full Article
Oak Creek rallies for victory over Falls
For 2 1/2 quarters on Friday, the Menomonee Falls football team, despite giving up hundreds of pounds of line weight and years of experience to visiting Oak Creek, had the Knights on the ropes to the tune of a 10-0 deficit in opening-night action.
But then the Knights forgot all their lofty, preseason rankings and just started playing football.
They scored two quick touchdowns in the third quarter and then held on to overwhelm the game Indians by a 20-10 to count.
"This should serve as a lesson to us," said Oak Creek coach Mike Bartholomew to the team afterwards on the muggy, foggy evening. "We are not the hunter this year; we are the hunted. We've got to practice like we're in second place all week long and then play like we're in first place all game long."
One key player who did do that this evening was senior defensive back/receiver Doran Turchin. Turchin, the NOW Newspapers Baseball Player of the Year for the Knights, did not play football last season in order to concentrate on baseball, but he made his presence felt in his return to the gridiron.» Read Full Article

What's the difference between a married and unmarried women?
Sounds like a set-up line for a Jerry Seinfeld joke, but it's no joke that single females handed Barack Obama a huge portion of his election victory while basically ignoring the other guy. The president clobbered Gov. Romney with this sub-group by a whopping 36%.
The Romney camp knew they had a gender challenge which is why they plunked spouse Ann Romney center stage at the GOP convention.
Remember her shouting out, "Women," as she tried to gin up support for her hubby. She tried real hard.
How'd that work out?
Not so hot.
Unmarried females compose 25% of all voters in this country and 67% of them voted for Mr. Obama but not for the reason you think.
The popular wisdom, now being debunked by the exit polls, suggested that all the conversative GOP chatter about rape, God, and reproductive rights drove these females into the D column.
It was a factor but not predominant. More importantly these voters felt the president deserved credit for bringing the country through the recession and they concluded that rich-guy Romney didn't understand their lives. That's the same failure to connect stuff that dogged Mr. Romney from the opening bell with other segments of the voting public
Mr. Romney did secure the married female vote defeating the incumbent by seven points with a respectable 53% of that vote.
So to repeat, what's the difference?
It's obvious researchers suggest. Married women are more likely to have stable lives than single women, especially in cases of divorce, separation and the death of a spouse. Many struggle economically which is why they liked the incumbent's health care agenda and his pro-equal pay stance in the workplace. Maybe you caught it; the R's were not exactly there.
But don't kid yourself they also watched the attempts to slash funding for Planned Parenthood and while the research did not nail this, it's a good bet they didn't want Big Bird shot because he is a good baby sitter.
For some conservative R's, instead of trying to figure out how to appeal to this 55 million segment of the voting population, some have demeaned the singles as being less than the rest.
Which is exactly why the singles didn't listen to Mrs. Romney's pitch.

Waterford — The Millstone Power Station violated safety requirements by not having adequate documentation in place for the steps that plant staff would follow during an emergency to test the radioactivity level of coolant water.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued notice of the safety violation on Monday. It was categorized as a "green" finding, the lowest level of safety significance, and is being corrected by the plant, according to the NRC notice.
Josephine Ambrosini, senior resident inspector for the NRC at Millstone, said the safety violation was found during an Aug. 20 emergency preparedness exercise that involved the nuclear power plant and 10 communities in its Emergency Planning Zone. The readings of the coolant water, used to keep the reactor from overheating, are supposed to be taken within 15 minutes of an emergency being declared at the plant, she said. During the exercise, plant staff was able to obtain readings at other locations in the plant to assess radioactivity levels, but did not have the written procedures in place to get the coolant readings. The violation pertained mainly to the Unit 3 reactor, she added.
"The exercise wasn't disrupted by it," she said.
Ken Holt, spokesman for Millstone owner Dominion, said there are interim measures now in place so that if an emergency were to occur, staff has written procedures available to follow to take the coolant readings.
"We are also making permanent changes in the procedures," he said.
The coolant readings, he explained, are used to verify radiation readings taken elsewhere in the plant during an emergency.
Millstone has had one other "green" finding this year. In August, the NRC cited the Unit 3 for inadequate documentation of a design weakness in valves that would shut off water flow during an emergency.
Safety violations are ranked on a four-tiered scale — green, white, yellow and red, with red being the most serious. "Green" findings are those that "are not willful or have no immediate safety consequences" and do not result in fines, Ambrosini said.

Hip! Hip! Hooray! We're celebrating with three cheers today, as we are very proud to announce the publication of not one...not two...but THREE brand-new titles in our Phoenix Presents series!
Party poppers are a-popping here at DFB, as we're amazingly proud to be releasing our first two novels as an independent publisher, and the third book in our Phoenix Presents series!
Jon Walter's lyrical and suspenseful Close to the Wind, Tim Hall's bold and fantastical Shadow of the Wolf and Adam Murphy's incredible and fascinating Corpse Talk are all published today!
We are delighted to reveal the cover of Shadow of the Wolf by debut author Tim Hall. Artwork by Richard Collingridge.
One of the most stunning books DFB has EVER published has at last opened its wings and taken flight: Wayland: the tale of the Smith from the Far North.
"See." Whispered one of the soldiers,
"The man is an angel. He flies!"
And the whole crew looked on in amazement
As they watched Wayland steadily rise
Excerpt from Wayland: the tale of the Smith from the Far North
We're new – but we've been around for a while! For nearly twelve years DFB has been run as an imprint – first as part of Scholastic, then of Random House. Since the summer of 2013 we've been set up as an independent business – joining our separate but sister company, which publishes the new children's comic The Phoenix, to form a DFB Storyhouse. Exciting times!
In our independent form we are continuing to publish the same sorts of books as before, and in the same sort of way – but with even greater enthusiasm and commitment.

1995 Mustang Parts
After releasing a redesigned Ford Mustang last year, most 1995 Ford Mustang parts were left unchanged. However, revisions were made to select 1995 Mustang parts to help increase sales. A GTS model was rumored as a bridge between the base and GT, as a cheaper alternative to a GT, but it never materialized. However, Ford's Special Vehicle Organization came along to create several new, performance oriented 95 Mustang parts to help add more power and handling to these otherwise unchanged models. Customers could buy these 95 Mustang parts separately for their own modifications from many stores.

Ford Mustang 1995By Bill Tumas: Other 1995 Ford Mustang parts were changed to create another Cobra R version.

Re: Pics of my new 1966
That is a nice looking yeller one Bob. I really like the red Cubs, but the yellow ones are great. I find that the tach is very handy for setting the timing, I just dip and peak the RPMs by moving the distributor until I reach max RPM and the timing is set to peak.

Re: Pics of my new 1966
I thought the front tube extensions looked like something James Bond would have attached to his Cub . Not sure about the winch, could be useful for dragging a log up a hill?? I think a fast hitch 'winch attachment' would be handy, but there always seems to be something else attached to mine.
Welcome to wonderful world of yeller Cubs, that is a nice one! Enjoy it!
For mowers, I believe a fast hitch one is the way to go, but haven't seen one for sale in a while.

The lotus is called padma in both Sanskrit and Tibetan. Rooted in muddy slime, the lotus rises through water to emerge into the sun, a progress that mirrors the journey of man's soul. Mired in suffering and sin, we pass through varied experiences before emerging into the sun of enlightenment. It is said that our hearts are like the closed petals of a lotus. Imbibing Buddhist virtues will enable the lotus to blossom into its full beauty. This is why the Buddha is often depicted seated on a lotus. The lotus symbol pendant measures 1.5 inches in diameter.

Prescription drug costs are a growing part of rising health care costs. Some drugs are very expensive and those that carry a moderate cost can be a burden if the prescription must be filled on a regular basis.
For those who don't have prescription drug coverage as part of their health benefits, paying for prescription drugs can be a problem.
An obvious way to save money is to always purchase generic drugs instead of name brands. It's the same medicine but the cost reflects the absence of research and development and marketing costs.
When your doctor prescribes a medication, ask if there is a generic equivalent. Many pharmacists routinely fill a prescription with the generic if one is available. Generic drugs have exactly the same active ingredients and effects as brand-name drugs, but they can cost 30 percent to 80 percent less.
Foreign purchases a no-no
Some consumers try to save money by purchasing prescriptions from outside the U.S., but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says, not only is that illegal, it's a safety hazard.
"When Americans import medicines illegally or buy medicines online from unreliable sources, they are faced with a dangerous buyer-beware situation," says FDA Commissioner Lester Crawford, D.V.M., Ph.D. "The FDA understands why people who are having a hard time paying for prescription drugs might do this. We have been expanding our generic drug program to help make more affordable prescription drugs available. This is one solution that does not put consumers at risk."
If patients can't afford the drugs their doctors prescribe, the FDA views that as a public health issue. That's why the FDA has enhanced the process for the review and approval of generic drugs, and has taken steps to eliminate roadblocks that keep generics off the market.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
For a sweeping overview of Istanbul, the world's only city that spans two continents, this tour serves extremely well. It begins with a spectacular drive across the city's first suspension bridge over the Bosphorus, linking the shores of Europe with Asia.
As you journey through this splendid city, you will observe its endless architectural variety that includes traditional Turkish wooden houses, churches, synagogues and mosques. The legacy of both its Christian and Islamic rule is highly evident throughout the city. In particular, there is the Blue Mosque, the only mosque in the world with six minarets. Built between 1609 and 1616 by Sultan Ahmed I, and named after him, the Mosque is now known as the Blue Mosque because of the 21,000 blue-green Iznik tiles that adorn the interior.
Finally, you will have time to meander through the Grand Bazaar, Turkey's largest and the oldest covered market place. The wealth of merchandise carried in its more than 4,000 shops is absolutely staggering.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 1 hour of walking plus any additional walking at the guests' discretion during free time. It is available to wheelchair guests who are able to make their way on and off the coach; however, wheelchairs are not permitted in the Blue Mosque and wheelchair guests would have to wait outside in the garden. There are some steps to negotiate at the entrance to the Mosque and those guests with mobility concerns are cautioned to evaluate their personal level of ability and stamina. The Blue Mosque will be closed to all visitors until after 2:30 pm on Fridays. Morning tours will have an exterior visit only. Conservative dress is required for visiting mosques. All female guests will be required to cover their heads, shoulders and arms and shorts above knee-length are not allowed for both male and female visitors. Comfortable, flat walking shoes are strongly recommended. The covered section of the Grand Bazaar is closed on Sundays, so you will instead being given an orientation drive along the Golden Horn and city walls. The order of the sites visited may change to avoid the crowds. Please expect dense traffic conditions in Istanbul.

|Fr. Gary Picou blesses Bishop Michael Olson following his ordination to the presbyterate for the Diocese of Fort Worth.
|Fr.Raul Marinez blesses Bishop Michael Olson following his ordination to the presbyterate for the Diocese of Fort Worth.
Two priests' lives converged May 24 at St. Patrick Cathedral, when, from differing backgrounds and histories, they lay prostrate in front of the same altar, knelt and promised fealty to the same bishop, and received the same sacrament.
Father Gary Picou, ordained after having begun his seminary study 20 years earlier, sat with his parents, Cathy and Gary, all of them smiling, then stepped forward to express his willingness and desire to join the presbyterate for the Diocese of Fort Worth.
Father Raul Martinez López, dabbing at his eyes occasionally sat near his mother, brother, and a cluster of cameras, handled by proud relatives who had traveled from Mexico in anticipation of the huge event. MORE PHOTOS
This ordination was as traditional and glorious as the sacramental liturgy always is, but it had an extra dose of joy and excitement about it — beginning with Bishop Michael Olson's opening statements, when he remembered his own ordination nearly 20 years earlier, June 3, 1994.
"I was just slightly less nervous that day," joked the Bishop, with his signature wit, "than I am today."
All the bishop's remarks at the ordination contained an overtone of joy and celebration. He also emphasized a unity of focus between priests and bishops, to whom the soon-to-be-ordained would later pledge their obedience.
"In the context of this celebration, we will ask these men and they will gladly give with gratitude in their hearts the promise of obedience that is very much a part of the ceremony of this liturgical drama.
"As Pope Francis points out for us," the bishop said, "an obedience to the Church and the hierarchy gives us, as it were, not simply the external framework for our obedience — the parish to which I am sent, my ministerial assignment, my particular work — but also a union with God the Father, the source of all fatherhood.
"It is likewise obedience to the Church, in service and availability and readiness to serve everyone, always and as fast as I can, following the example of our Blessed Mother, who hastens to serve Elizabeth, her kinswoman, and is concerned for the wedding in Cana, when the wine runs out.
"The vow that you make this day is of the heart," Bishop Olson said, "and it is of the heart not only of your own, but of the Church, the entire Church, and it is an act of faith, an act of hope and an act of love.
"Always remember," he emphasized, "it is Christ who initiated this, by calling to you by name."
The two men had indeed come from the same calling, but while Fr. Raul took the direct route, through 10 years of preparation, and bilingual studies, Fr. Gary painstakingly analyzed a simple yet complicated question, "What does it mean to be a priest?" Some of their preparation years overlapped, and they ended up assigned to the same parish, Holy Family, where they worked with pastor Father Jeff Poirot, and were together ordained to the transitional diaconate on Sept. 14, 2013.
The ordination, on the Saturday morning of Memorial Day weekend, brought together Father Gerald McBrairity, representative from Theological College where Fr. Gary finished his seminary years; and Father Rodrigo Benetez, rector of Seminario Hispano Santa Maria de Guadalupe where Fr. Martinez studied.
An honor guard was provided by the Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus; seminarians from the Diocese of Fort Worth served as acolytes and altar servers; the choir was compiled from a combination of voices from St. Michael Parish in Bedford and St. Patrick Cathedral, directed by Joanne Werner; and priests from the diocese and from Mexico concelebrated the liturgy.
Masters of ceremonies were Deacon Don Warner, Father Thu Nguyen, and seminarian Joseph Keating; Deacon Jim Crites of St. Patrick served as Deacon of the Word, and Deacon Mike Mocek, who had served with the two ordinands at Holy Family, served as Deacon of the Altar.
"My dear sons," Bishop Olson said to the two who would be ordained, "you are to be raised to the order of priesthood. For your part, you will exercise the sacred duty of teaching, in the name of Christ, the teacher, impart to everyone the word of God, which you have received with joy.
"Meditating on the law of the Lord," he said, "see that you believe what you read, that you teach what you believe, and that you practice what you teach."
As a young child growing up in Houston, Deacon Gary Picou had a dream. "I wanted to be an astronaut. That was my goal," he said. However, when the young man took the physical, he learned he was color blind. "My dream of being an astronaut kind of died," said Dcn. Picou, soon to be ordained a priest for the Diocese of Fort Worth. But in one of many references to the mystery of God, the deacon noted the color blindness may have been one of ways God works, and a demonstration of his sense of humor and providence.
Reverence and humility show in his eyes, smile, and carefully-worded homilies. Deacon Raul Martinez Lopez worries about his vocabulary and presentation, but to the assembly he delivers his thoughts clearly, even in his new, second language. Dcn. Martinez, whom Bishop Michael Olson will ordain to the priesthood at St. Patrick Cathedral 10 a.m., Saturday, May 24, assisted at Holy Family Parish's noon Mothers' Day Mass May 11.
A deacon's call to teach the faith and serve the community is a vocation — a seed placed by God in the heart of a man. But the family is where that seed is nourished and cultivated. Bishop J. Douglas Deshotel, auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Dallas, offered words of praise to the parents of Raul Martinez Lopez and Gary Picou, Jr., before addressing the men he was about to ordain to the transitional diaconate Sept. 14 in St. Michael Church in Bedford.
Two priests' lives converged May 24 at St. Patrick Cathedral, when, from differing backgrounds and histories, they lay prostrate in front of the same altar, knelt and promised fealty to the same bishop, and received the same sacrament.

— It may still be winter, but that hasn't stopped auto makers from announcing some of their hottest new models for the upcoming year.
Here's a look at three smokin' European convertibles to dream about over a cup of hot chocolate:
E-Class Cabriolet
The E-Class has never been the most exciting car from Mercedes-Benz, but the addition of a convertible to the lineup added some spice a few years ago.
Now Mercedes is giving the drop-top E-Class Cabriolet — along with its coupe sibling — some sexy new styling for 2014.
The front end gets the most dramatic changes, where a V-shaped nose and new headlight style make it look sportier, almost like the classic SL roadster, but retaining the same "four eyes" look of the E-Class sedan.
It also gets a state-of-the-art sensor system that Mercedes calls "intelligent drive." It uses both stereo video cameras and radar sensors to create a 3D view of everything happening up to 165 feet in front of the vehicle, plus get some idea of what's happening up to 1,640 feet ahead. That means it can see cars, pedestrians and road markings, then take appropriate action to improve safety or warn the driver.
Continental GT Speed
Want to drive the king of convertibles?
Bentley claims its new flagship convertible, the Continental GT Speed, will be the fastest four-seat car you can drive with the wind in your hair. It has a top speed of 202 miles per hour.
This new model is powered by a 6.0-liter, 12-cylinder engine that makes 616 horsepower, a number usually associated more with exotic supercars than comfortable, top-down boulevard cruisers.
And, make no mistake, Bentley says the new GT won't sacrifice comfort or quality to reach that insane top speed. It comes with hand-crafted, diamond-quilted hide upholstery and custom cabin trim made from your choice of fine wood veneers.

The cloud band that is associated with a cold front and a surface trough has now largely moved over the Tasman Sea. Cold-air cloud behind this front remains over eastern Victoria and eastern New South Wales.
Cloud over southern Western Australia and the Bight is due to a low pressure trough and an upper level jet stream.
The northern half of the country is mostly clear due to a ridge of high pressure extending northwards from the Bight.

20th Century American Spirit Meets Seductive and Dangerous Vienna of the 1600s!
The United States of Europe, the new nation formed by an alliance between the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus and the West Virginians hurled back in time by a cosmic accident, is beset by enemies on all sides. But now, as a young new emperor comes to the throne in Austria, an opening has developed for making peace with at least one branch of the farflung and mighty Habsburg dynasty.
This is no job for diplomats or generals, however. The recently formed Austro-Hungarian empire is teetering on the brink of economic collapse. So, the USE sends auto mechanics and financiers to the rescue. But the mechanics are West Virginia hillbillies and the financiers are mostly teenage American girls, risen to wealth by taking advantage of the new opportunities created by the Ring of Fire.
Ready to greet them upon their arrival in Vienna is an emperor uncertain of his goals, common folk desperate for work, noblemen with intentions both fair and foul, priests plotting on all sides—and a prince unclear on the distinction between passion and lechery.
To put it mildly, a culture clash is in the making here. What better way to bridge the gap than to create a race track for the emperor's new muscle car? And so the dance begins.

Marius Winter doesn't walk the road of the shaman-warrior alone. He has powerful allies in the Other Realms and in ordinary reality. His spirit guides are a Lakota war-chief and medicine man, First In Front; Tigre, a powerful feminine spirit who appears as a white tiger; and Burt, a spirit raven who channels an old Jewish bookie from the Bronx.
Now Marius is targeted by a powerful sorcerer. In the battle for the souls of his friends and lover, he must storm the gates of the underworld and fight through the Seven Demi-Demons of Hell to the deepest dungeons to confront Belial himself.
Swords and Shields. Faith and Magic.Grab your weapons and prepare, for the enemy is on the move.High fantasy and mighty conflicts go hand-in-hand. In great wars, armies rise to fight evil hordes and heroes struggle to push beyond their imperfections to save the day. These stories include more than just epic landscapes and characters…they also feature epic battles.Imagine a doctor struggling to identify the spy who has infiltrated his company's ranks and poisoned his colleagues or a boy suspected of murder by a king yet protected by a princess as he helps her father against his own people. Imagine a butcher discovering that he's called to lead an uprising, or a First Born knowing that she must betray her own in order to save humanity.The possibilities are endless, but at the heart they have this in common: soldiers—ordinary and otherwise–struggling against extraordinary odds to survive the day. They must withstand dark magic, dodge enemy blades, and defy the odds to survive SHATTERED SHIELDS.
The mantis cyborgs: insectlike, cruel, and determined to wipe humanity from the face of the galaxy.
The Fleet is humanity's last chance: a multi-world, multi-national task force assembled to hold the line against the aliens' overwhelming technology and firepower. Enter Harrison Barlow, who like so many young men of wars past, simply wants to serve his people and partake of the grand adventure of military life. Only, Harrison is not a hot pilot, nor a crack shot with a rifle. What good is a Chaplain's Assistant in the interstellar battles which will decide the fate of all?
More than he thinks. Because while the mantis insectoids are determined to eliminate the human threat to mantis supremacy, they remember the errors of their past. Is there the slightest chance that humans might have value? Especially since humans seem to have the one thing the mantes explicitly do not: an innate ability to believe in what cannot be proven nor seen God. Captured and stranded behind enemy lines, Barlow must come to grips with the fact that he is not only bargaining for his own life, but the lives of everyone he knows and loves. And so he embarks upon an improbable gambit, determined to alter the course of the entire war.
Sequel to The Heretic, Book 10 in the nationally best‑selling General series.
Duisberg is one of thousands of planets plunged into darkness and chaos by the collapse of the galactic republic, but where other worlds have begun to rebuild a star‑travelling culture, Duisberg remains in an uneasy balance between mud‑brick civilization and bloodthirsty barbarism.
The people of Duisberg have a god: Zentrum, a supercomputer from the ancient past. Zentrum has decided avoid another collapse by preventing civilization from rising from where it is. This is known as the Stasis. And because even a supercomputer and the powerful religion which it founded cannot block all progress, Zentrum has another tool: every few centuries the barbarians sweep in from the desert, slaughtering the educated classes and cowing the peasants back into submission. These are the Blood Winds, and the Blood Winds are about to blow again.
This time, however, there's a difference: Abel Dashian, son of a military officer, has received into his mind the spirit of Raj Whitehall, the most successful general in the history of the planet Bellevue—and of Center, the supercomputer which enabled Raj to shatter his planet's barbarians and permit the return of civilization.
One hero can't stop the tide of barbarians unless he has his own culture supporting him. To save Duisberg, Abel must conquer the very land of his origin and attempt to destroy the computer A.I. "god" who has doomed his world to an everlasting Dark Age. Abel is a heretic, but now he must go beyond and become—THE SAVIOR.
Sequel to A View from the Imperium. Jeeves in space! Rollicking adventure featuring a seemingly dense, lovable nobleman and his indespensible, droll aide, Parsons.
Lieutenant Lord Thomas Kinago sets out from the Imperium homeworld for the Autocracy of the Uctu, a galactic region with a geckolike overlord known, eponymously, as the Autocrat. Thomas is ostensibly on a pleasure cruise with his cousin Jil to enjoy the pleasures of the Gecko culture. (Jil is herself fleeing a spot of trouble in the Central Worlds after she rebuffed the unwanted amorous interest of a local crime boss)
In fact, Thomas is on a mission for the mysterious Mr. Frank, the head of the secret service, to discover how prohibited goods, including a small fighter ship, are being smuggled into the Autocracy. His crew's overt assignment is to find out why legitimate shippers are being detained at checkpoints, sometimes for months, without explanation. As usual, Thomas's reputation for sudden enthusiasm and goodhearted mayhem precede him. It is all his trusted aid Parsons can do to keep his leader on course.
Thomas's newest interest is superstitions, and he is driving everyone to distraction by telling fortunes, and even inventing a new method or two. Yet while the Autocrat, a new and fairly young Uctu female, finds Thomas a curious diplomat, she also rather likes him—much to Parsons's relief. It seems Thomas needs free passage within the Uctu home system before he can investigate the illegal contraband trade. What's more, the smuggling ring is quite determined to cancel Thomas's visit before he can cancel them. As usual, it's up to Parsons to find a way to lead his hapless master to victory—or at least keep him from getting himself killed by a very determined enemy.
Book 4 in the Romantic Times Sapphire award winning Elfhome series.
Even though they attend a school of gifted students in New York City, child geniuses Louise Mayer and her twin sister Jillian have always felt alone in the world, isolated by their brilliance. Shortly before their ninth birthday, they make an amazing discovery. They're not alone.
Their real mother was astronaut Esme Shenske and their father was the famous inventor, Leonardo Dufae. They have an older sister, Alexander, living on the planet of Elfhome, and four siblings still in cryogenic storage at the fertility center. There's only one problem: the frozen embryos are scheduled to be destroyed within six months. The race is on to save their baby brother and sisters.
As a war breaks out on Elfhome and riots start in New York City, the twins use science and magic to plow over everything standing in their way. But when they come face to face with an ancient evil force, they're soon in over their heads in danger.
Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life . . . the two things his neglectful mother couldn't or wouldn't provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought he'd finally found the structure he'd always wanted so desperately.
But life in the RMN isn't exactly what he expected. Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assignment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a devastating plague, the Navy is possibly on the edge of extinction.
The Star Kingdom is a minor nation among the worlds of the Diaspora, its closest neighbors weeks or months away, with little in the way of resources. With only modest interstellar trade, no foreign contacts to speak of, a plague-ravaged economy to rebuild, and no enemies looming at the hyper limit, there are factions in Parliament who want nothing more than to scrap the Navy and shift its resources and manpower elsewhere.
But those factions are mistaken. The universe is not a safe place.
Travis Long is about to find that out.
And we're off again! Mark Huston is back with us, presenting "The Queen's Gearhead," a story involving the queen in the Low Countries and some devilment caused by some really unwise types. Gotta read that. A new author for the Gazette, Karina Gallam, brings us "Perception," a story about looking at things a bit of a different way. As well, Terry Howard and Esther Merriken have come up with "Franklin's Monsters, Act IV: Apples of Love," a story that helps us see just what differences the Ring of Fire can make.
Our serials this issue start with Virginia DeMarce's "An Uneasy Kind of Peace, Episode Three," a very involved story featuring Monsieur Gaston, who is quite a piece of work, along with the grand duke of Burgundy and his new wife. Rainer Prem continues with the fifteenth episode of "Ein feste Burg," which is a record for serials in the Gazette and a story that has stayed interesting for a long time. Jack Carroll and Edith Wild have brought "The Undergraduate" to a close with Episode Six, but we hope we'll hear more from these characters.
Nonfiction continues "Clash of Cultures—School Systems at (the) Stake, Part 2" and I have to say that some of the people mentioned in it have certainly been vindicated over the years since they lived. Time Spike and Garrett W. Vance continue with "The Mysterious Mesa, Part Four: Giants in the Earth," and those characters face a lot of challenges. You'll want to read about them.
Kristine Kathryn Rusch isn't at all nostalgic for the past, but she certainly has plenty of memories of the excitement in her lifetime. As do many of us, I suspect.
It's ready. Grantville Gazette, Volume 54.
