It's Tuesday and that means it is time to daydream about a car we will most likely never own. You know, we haven't featured a Ferrari in a while. So, here you go. The Ferrari 458 Speciale A is a thing of beauty. Premiering in Paris last month, the Speciale really is special. It is the most powerful car Ferrari has ever made. It has a 4.5L V8 engine that can produce an incredible 597 horsepower. If you don't think that's fast enough, you should probably work on your priorities in life. It's zero to 62 mph is only three seconds. We can spout out all the technical jargon about this ride, but we think it'd be easier for you just to look at it. It's so pretty.

New Music Monday: Weezer
Weezer is one of those bands you grew up with. Though, you may not listen to them too frequently, you can still appreciate their music. They've been in the game for 20 years and just released their ninth studio album, Everything Will Be Alright in the End. The alt-rock band has been working on this new record for a few years now and we couldn't be happier. Here's "The British Are Coming."
World's Longest Catwalk to Debut at Scottsdale Polo...
Polo and fashion really don't have much in common. Well, aside from the fact they both attract good looking, well-off people. The 2014 Bentley Polo Championships will feature something other than the sport: fashion. On Saturday, Oct. 25, the world's largest catwalk will debut. Stretching nearly 230 yards from west to east across the field, the catwalk will feature more than 100 models in the latest polo garb at WestWorld of Scottsdale. If you're an aspiring model and want to do more than just watch, they will be hosting a casting call for the models on Sunday, October 19th in the lower level lobby at the Saguaro Resort from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. All clothing during the fashion show will be provided by Phoenix Fashion Week and Evan's Furs. For more information and tickets, click here. Oh, there will also be a polo game in case you're into that sort of thing.
The Weekender: Cognac Snap
As much as we don't want to admit, the holidays are practically upon us. You've seen the Christmas decorations are already up at Target and Halloween is a stone's throw away. For the next couple of weeks, we are going to bring you holiday inspired cocktails for the Weekender. Courtesy of the people at Taggia at FireSky Resort & Spa, this is the Cognac Snap.
1 1/2 oz Pierre Ferrand 1840 cognac
3/4 oz Snap Liqueur
3/4 oz Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Cinnamon Syrup
Shake ingredients in a shaker two times and pour into a martini or coupe glass. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.
The AZ Taco Festival Kicks Off this Saturday!
Nothing says Arizona like tacos. If you've lived in other states, you know how difficult it can be to find decent Mexican. The Arizona Taco Festival celebrates AZ's love for tacos. And guess what? It kicks off this Saturday, Oct. 18. Taking place at the Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on Saturday and Sunday, the festival will bring $2 tacos from some the Valley's best restaurants. Obviously, the main attraction will be the taco competition where Taco Award Presentations will be held at 6:50 p.m. each day. There will also be all sorts of fun like lucha libre wrestling, a VIP beach, live music, a full bar, Hot Chile Pepper Eating Contests, Arm Wrestling for Tacos at the Yelp Booth, and much, much more. General Admission tickets are $12, the Margarita Lover's Package is $18, you can splurge on the VIP treatment for $100, Kids 12 and under are free and the Tequila Expo is $20 (Saturday Only). The weather will be perfect, but the tacos will be better.
Today's Object of Desire: Minipresso
Sometimes you need a little caffeine. But other times, you don't have the time to get it. A little espresso on the go is something that would come in handy here. With the Minipresso your prayers have been answered. This highly portable espresso machine can brew shots wherever your heart desires. It's hand-powered, so, with a couple of pumps, your espresso is ready to drink. Complete with its own cup in the lid, you don't even need to bring your dirty mug around anymore. Sign us up.
Whiskey School Wednesdays at Second Story Liquor Bar
The ability to appreciate, make, and understand the roots of a whiskey cocktail is seldom seen the days. Most of the time, we just go to the bar and order our drinks. It's time we start educating ourselves. If that sounds like something you'd be into, Whiskey School Wednesdays at Second Story Liquor Bar are right up your alley. Once a month, the class will take you around the world to learn about a different style of the liquor. Tonight's stop: the good old U.S. of A. Participants will spend two hours tasting, talking, and getting a look at what makes quality American Whiskey. The class starts at 5:30 p.m. tonight and costs $40 and includes snacks, class, demonstrations on whiskey cocktails, and tasting. You can make a reservation by calling 480.945.5555. Be on the lookout for next month's class featuring Irish whiskeys. We'll keep you posted.

Celebrate Sushi Roku's Anniversary with Half-Off Dinner +...
Sushi Roku will be celebrating their sixth anniversary for multiple days starting on Oct. 27. When you've been together for more than half a decade, a massive celebration must be hard. Relationships take a lot of work, even if its between us and sushi. From Monday, Oct. 27 to Thursday, Oct. 30, you can celebrate with Roku with 50% dinner and a glass of Veuve Clicquot. Sounds great, right? There will be a variety of dinner-only specials and a gourmet two-course tasting menu, which includes one dish from the sushi bar, one from the kitchen. The $40 dinner specials also include a glass of the always-great Veuve. This seems like it will be a pretty popular deal, so to guarantee a spot, you should probably make reservations.
Culinary Dropout to Host Superhero Themed Halloween Party
Haven't you heard? Superheroes are all the rage these days. Don't believe us? The Avengers movie made a billion dollars. Literally. Actually, they made over a billion dollars worldwide. Superheroes are here to say with more and more movies and TV shows coming into fruition. This Halloween, you can be your favorite superhero at Culinary Dropout's Halloween party. On Friday, Oct. 31, Phoenix's The Yard and Scottsdale's Waterfront will be transformed into their very own Comic Cons. Find a phone booth to change into your favorite superhero attire and enjoy the live music and specialty drinks. The party goes from 11:00 a.m. to midnight.
Are You My Ride? Tesla Model S P85D
You want to save the planet, don't you? Of course you do. You're tree-hugging, recycling, open-minded person. You also want a nice a car, right? Sometimes, it's hard to put those two together. Not anymore. The Tesla Model S P85D is the nicest electric car to date. Seriously, Tesla's car game has been on point the last couple of years. The P85D has a true AWD, a zero to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, and incorporates some brand new autonomous driving technologies. Because of all it's tech, the car can drive and park itself. It's 2014 and you better believe we're living in the future.
Celebrate Decades of Art with the 40th Anniversary ArtWalk
Has it really been 40 years since the first ArtWalk? Either time flies or we're getting really old. Don't answer that. Anyway, "America's Original Artwalk" will be celebrating its 40th anniversary on Thursday, Oct. 23. As per usual, Scottsdale's Artwalk takes place every Thursday with art openings, live music, food samplings and more. The anniversary walk will additionally feature a marching band performance by Coronado High School, SUSD student art exhibits and musical performances. Considering it's October, the featured charity partner is TRI For the Cure AZ for
Breast Care Awareness Month. The galleries will feature some amazing work to celebrate an amazing 40 years in the Scottsdale art world. If you have the opportunity, you should make an appearance. The evening starts at 6:00 p.m. with a dedication ceremony.
New Music Monday: Flying Lotus
It's probably time to step up your hip hop/experimental jazz/fusion game. Yeah, that does sound like quite the mix but Flying Lotus has to be one of the most unique artists around. The producer's new record, You're Dead!, has been one of the most highly anticipated of the year. This record features some other amazing artists like Kendrick Lamar, Captain Murphy, Snoop Dog, and more. If you have the chance, we highly recommend you pick this record up. Here's a taste with "Never Catch Me."
Scottsdale Eatery Provides the Comforts of 'Home' with...
The Standard opened way back in July, but it seems they haven't gotten very much press. Dedicated to healthy eating (while being delicious, of course) the restaurant offers a unique menu selection. Well, the new American kitchen and bar is adding a couple more things to the mix. Like many others, they will be serving brunch every weekend, but with a twist. From 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., live music will be your entertainment as you drink and dine on the traditional items like Bloody Mary's, Bottomless Mimosas ($15) and Omelet Bar. What's not so traditional is their Chicken and Waffles (pictured), Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Nutella Stuffed French Toast, Baked Huevos Rancheros, Braised Brisket and Grits and more. Do we have your attention? Thought so.
The Standard | 10500 North Scottsdale Road | Scottsdale, AZ 85253
The Weekender: Prickly Palmer
Obviously, we don't have to mention what day it is. Working for the weekend is kind of a depressing way to go about life, but there's really not much we can do about it. Well, we have a drink or two. Speaking of which, Boulders Resort was kind enough to share a couple cocktail recipes with us. This one, as always, is pretty unique. This is the Prickly Palmer.
Sweat Tea Vodka 1.5 oz
Fresh squeezed Lemonade 3 oz
Prickly Pear puree ½ oz
Combine in a shaker and shake to your heart's content. Pour over ice in a rocks glass.
Build a Sweat, Get Some Swag at Orangetheory Grand Opening
Orangetheory Fitness is the hottest new gym to come around in the Valley. They're so popular, they seem to keep opening locations every week. The gym's 13th location will be hosting a grand opening party tonight! Located in Peoria, if you're one of the first 50 people in the door, not only will you be the first to build a sweat there, you'll be able to grab some swag. Each of those 50 people will receive a complimentary swag bag with all sorts of goodies. Starting at 6:00 p.m., the grand opening will also feature bites and free chair massages from Massage Envy. If you want to go, you should get there early. Their last grand opening has a line out the door by 5:30 p.m.
Orangetheory Fitness | 25314 North Lake Pleasant Pkwy | Peoria, AZ 85383
Today's Object of Desire: Gramovox Bluetooth Gramophone
Bluetooth is every where, from your car to your speakers at home. With all that technology, some people like to keep it simple. Not every house has to be decked out with modern tech. If you're into old school sound, you should pick up one of these. The Gramovox Bluetooth Gramophone is the perfect combination of antique and modern. Looking like a gramophone, the Gramovox is a Bluetooth speaker system that also functions as a piece of art. Have fun friends over to check it out then blow them away with the sound quality.
An Elegant Night to Benefit Children Charities
With some many amazing charities throughout the Valley, it's hard to pick just one to donate to. So, why not help multiple at the same time? Scottsdale Active 20-30 Club's will be doing just that with their 25th Annual NiteFlite on Saturday, Oct. 25. It's a night filled with exquisite dining and elegant dancing. For their 25th gala, the theme will be Rat Pack. The semi-formal event at High Street, formerly City North, will feature a red carpet, Rat Pack impersonators, live entertainment, classic cars, signature dishes from the Valley's finest restaurants, like Ocean Prime, Cowboy Ciao and Paul Martin's. There will also be luxurious items up for auction. The best part is that everything will be benefitting local children's charities like the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale and Boys Hope Girls Hope of Arizona. NiteFlite is the club's largest charity event of the year. Last year they raised over $350,000. Let's see if we can raise more money this year. Individual tickets start at $150. For more information click here.
Oktoberfest at Tempe Beach Park this Weekend!
Can you believe Oktoberfest is already here? That means it's time to dust off your lederhosen and grab your steins, the Four Peaks annual Oktoberfest kicks off this Friday. Drawing thousands of people every year, the at Tempe Town Lake features everything you could want out of an Oktoberfest celebration. There will be live music, games, food, and you better believe there will be beer. So much beer, you won't even know what to do with yourself. Admission is free but unfortunately, you have to pay for your beer. That's okay because all the proceeds go to benefit the Tempe Sister City Corporation, a Tempe non-profit that "facilitates student and educator and professional foreign exchange programs." New this year to Oktoberfest is a Brat Eating Contest that will take place on Sunday, Oct. 12 at 2:00 p.m. The party kicks off this Friday, Oct. 10 at 5:00 p.m. We'll see you there.
Orange Table Reopens Its Doors in Tempe
With the countless breakfast and lunch spots around the Valley, it gets hard to choose which one to venture to. But when you find that place that cooks your eggs just right, you know it's your go-to spot. That's how we felt about Orange Table, formerly in Old Town Scottsdale. Though, they've have management difficulties over the years, their food was always on point. In early September, they closed their doors for the second time. Have no fear, they've reopened at a new spot in Tempe. Located on 7th street and Forest Ave, the move was probably a wise decision. Tempe is expanding its dining game and it seems Orange Table is stepping up to the plate. If you're a fan of corned beef hash, gourmet hamburgers, and craft beer, you should probably check this place out.
Orange Table | 203 East 7th Street | Tempe, AZ 85281
Are You My Ride? Silvermine 11SR
Have you ever dreamed of being Speed Racer? If your wallet allows it, that dream has a real possibility now. Any gear head would kill to drive the Silvermine 11SR. This exotic car is meant for two things: speed and looking good while it speeds. Inspired by race cars from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, the number and racing stripes illustrate a classy racer from yesteryear. Its 3.0L boxer six engine good can produce a nice 325 horsepower. The 17-inch alloy wheels and carbon fiber body make it ready for the track. If racing isn't your thing, they will soon be releasing a commuting version. Go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer.
Welcome Fall with Some Coffee and Beer
Normally, coffee and beer don't exactly go hand-in-hand. We suppose we'll make an exception this time. To officially send off summer, Sip Coffee & Beer House will be hosting an end of summer party on Saturday, Oct. 11. So, aside from celebrating the end of the warm months, why is Sip hosting the party? Well, for the last year, there has been construction behind Sip and it is time to finally remove the blinders to see what's going on. They will reveal their all-new outdoor event space for the party on Oct. 11. From noon to 4:00 p.m., the Fabulous Arizona sponsored party will feature live music, handcrafted cocktails, and happy hour prices. Complete with giveaways and raffles, it's looking like it'll be a fun Saturday afternoon in Scottsdale.
Sip Coffee & Beer House | 3617 North Goldwater Road | Scottsdale, AZ 85251
New Music Monday: Thom Yorke
Thom Yorke is one of those musician's who's style you recognize anywhere. As the frontman for Radiohead, Thom has been the voice for decades worth music inspiration. Radiohead is one of those band's that will go down in history as innovators. Thom Yorke, has been making music on his own, as of late. On Sept. 26, he released his second solo album, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes. What's interesting, though, is that he released it on bit torrent web sites. Essentially, he gave it out for free. Check it out this track, A Brain in a Bottle.
'Girls Night Out' Shopping Event Happening Oct. 15
It's been a rough year. Work is stressful and sometimes you just want to quit it all and just relax. Society won't exactly allow that, but this will probably make up for it. Scottsdale Quarter's annual Girls Night Out shopping event is happening Oct. 15. The red carpet will be rolled out for the VIPs, a.k.a. you. For all the ladies will be attending, stores throughout the Quarter will be offering discounts, raffles, specials, and complimentary goodies. What stores, you ask? How does Kendra Scott, West Elm, Drybar, Free People and more sound? You'll be sipping on champagne while enjoying the DJ's tunes. For more information, click here. The shopping event starts at 6:00 p.m. and ends at 9:00.
Today's Object of Desire: Grovemade's iPhone 6 Cases
You waited in line for countless hours and saved every penny, but purchasing the new iPhone was the best decision you've made in 2014, so far. Well, maybe not, but it's probably close a second. Every time you purchase a new phone, extra special attention is required when handling it. You don't want to break your new baby on its first day of life. That means you need a case. Look no further than Grovemade's iPhone 6 Cases. Just look at them. So fancy. The all natural wood exterior adds an element of sophistication to your already sophisticated phone. They're thing, durable, and made by hand in Portland, Oregon (of course, they are).

Other Forecasts
Passion takes a U-turn early in the year when active Mars shifts into reverse on Jan. 23 and backpedals in analytical Virgo until April 13. Romanace may cool as we take a second look at our partners or potential objects of attraction. While this could take a little spice out of life, it's a great opportunity to unravel old patterns and deepen our understanding of how we connect with others.
After Mars shifts back info forward gear, love's leading lady, Venus, does her own pirouette, turning retrograde in Gemini on May 15 before moving forward again on June 27. This reversal in the sign of diversity can scatter attention as we wonder about old attractions from the past. Both of these cycles are about over-thinking relationships. Yes, there is much to be learned by shining the light of our minds into the recesses of our hearts, but too much conversation and nitpicking can take the joy out of any partnership.
Deeper connections come with Venus' entry into sensitive Cancer on Aug. 7. But the road to romance is very bumpy around Aug. 15 before turning into a superhighway of amour when this love planet enters dramatic Leo on September 6.

Me and Luke decided to go on The Constrictor, a large tube ride, while Zoe completes her endless laps of the water slide. I required a triple bypass surgery after lugging the large red tube up the hill. I required a quadruple bypass after being put into the tube at the top and was told by the staff member moving people down the tube that I would be doing it backwards. Its ...

I woke up early to such a swallow face that I literally look like a different person! We walked to the bus stop, i was in complete agony with the sunburnt, and got the early bus to Surfers paradise. The bus was only about an hour and a half, so we arrived at 9am but couldn't check in until 12. Even though it was a hot sunny day, and I was very sunburnt, we ...

Carol Z, are you still seeing the same doc who put you on evista? I didn't find anything about long term problems, but that doesn't mean there isn't. I would talk to my doc about my concerns and what I read. I suppose you were put on this for osteoporsis. They use it for postmenopausal women. Please talk to you doc about this before stopping it. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Really smart protagonists
Hello! I find myself craving for protagonists that are borderline genius smart. I don't mean someone that the author simply describe as intelligent, or someone who's merely competent or knowledgeable, like Shara from The City of Stairs which I just finished reading. I guess I am looking for a Hercule Poirot, a Count of Monte Cristo, a Machiavelli kind of character, that would show awe inspiring insight, or devise complex and creative plans the reader can only guess at. Something that ticks me off is when a character fails to notice something that's obvious for the reader, or keeps putting off something that's obviously urgent, or leaves a glaring weakness in their plans just so the author can maintain dramatic tension.
I have been an avid fantasy reader for over 15 years and it struck me thinking on it that I couldn't find an example of that in the genre, so I'm turning to this board for input. I'm thinking fantasy in particular but I don't mind if it's scifi or historical fiction either, although I don't really enjoy thieves/heist gone wrong type of stories or prose that's too juvenile.
September 28th, 2014, 11:49 PM #2
I've noticed you can quickly tell the really smart writers from the more average ones the moment they try to write a genius character. An obvious example is The Scarlet Pimpernel, where Percy was supposed to be a genius but the writing just didn't show it.
However, if you like really smart characters who prepare subtle plans and carry them out without the writer having to cheat you in order to do it, I would definitely recommend The Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner. Gen really is smart, and his plans are brilliantly set up and executed to keep the reader in suspense of the surprise twist at the end, but still having all the clues to know exactly what's going on. It's especially a delight to read the books a second time knowing how they end and seeing how all the hints clearly paint what's actually happening while being subtly enough worded that you think something else is going on.
Some other examples I could mention are Littlefinger and Varys in A Song of Ice and Fire, Kaladin in Stormlight Archives, Jarlaxle in R.A. Salvatore's works, and (slightly off the beaten path for fantasy) Shikamaru from Naruto.
There are plenty of well portrayed geniuses out there. Unfortunately there are just as many who are claimed to be geniuses, but either whoever's making the claim is wrong or the author can't properly execute the character.

Try R. Scott Bakkers Prince of Nothing series. Kelhus has to rate as one of the most intelligent protagonists out there. I loved the books but others have found them to be too dark.
Django Wexlers The Thousand Names has a genius tactician in Colonel Janus bet Vhalnich Mieran. The book does not break any new ground so your mileage may vary, but I enjoyed it.
Steven Erikson has a number of geniuses in his MBotF series, Kruppe, Tehol etc
Julian May had a number of very intelligent characters in her Saga of the Exiles series. If memory serves both Aiken Drum and Paul Remilliard (spelling) fit the bill. Read this about 26 years ago but I remember enjoying the books immensely.
Good thread
September 29th, 2014, 07:03 PM #4
Well I would echo the comments of Cerberus mentioning Littlefinger and Varys From George Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. I think I would throw Tyrion in that mix too.
My favorite is Dirk from Jennifer Fallon's Second Sons trilogy. Book one is The Lion of Senet and I love how Dirk used his head instead of magic to solve his problems.

Scott Lynch's Gentlemen Bastards sequence would probably rate.
September 30th, 2014, 12:43 PM #9
If you don't mind sci-fi, there's Miles Vorkosigan by Lois McMaster Bujold. He's got so many physical ailments (short stature, brittle bones, poisoned lungs, etc) that he has to use his brains to get out of trouble. And he loves getting into trouble for most o the series.
October 1st, 2014, 12:50 AM #10
I'll also second the mention of Tehol. I may not have ultimately liked the series, but the scenes with Tehol were a delight and I consider him one of the more enjoyable characters I've read. What he manages to get done while pretending to be a lazy, borderline obscene layabout sleeping the day away on his rooftop is nothing short of spectacular.
October 1st, 2014, 05:52 PM #11
Tavore Paran and Tehol in The Malazan Book of the Fallen
Locke Lamora in The Gentlemen Bastard series
Three of my favorite genius characters.
October 2nd, 2014, 10:06 AM #12
I feel like tons of book have really smart characters. Though many people are mentioning support characters not main protagonists. Not quite sure which the OP is looking for.
Of the ones listed already that I am familiar with.
Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erickson
Tehol and Bugg - These 2 are your POV protagonists in the 5th book. Yes they are hilarious, my favorite characters in a very serious book. Tehol is a true genius. Stamped by the fact that his manservant is...let's just say, something special. Again though, gotta read 4 books before you meet them.
Tavore Paran - Military Genius, also not a huge main POV character though. Not even sure if she's ever has a POV, just often talked about.
There are tons of genius type characters in this series. Most are military style genius, or just a "genius with a sword" type character. Some of the best characters you will meet are in this series.
A Song of Ice and Fire - George RR Martin
Little Finger & Tyrion - Tyrion is very smart. He's a smart schemer, not sure I'd say borderline genius. Little Finger might be borderline genius but he is never a POV character.
First Law Trilogy - Joe Abercrombie
Glokta - Still not sure I'd classify him as a genius. I think he's just very smart and good at what he does. He does hold quite a bit of screen time in this series though.
Prince of Nothing - R Scott Bakker
Kellhus - Now here is the first one I can truly agree with. Kellhus is your main protagonist and he is a true genius.
King Killer Chronicles - Patrick Rothfuss
Kvothe - Borderline genius. Another one I can truly agree with that fits what you are asking for.
Acts of Caine - Matthew Stover
Caine and Ma'elKoth - Caine always has a plan, always is one or two steps ahead even though you may not be told about it. And is an amazing fighter. Ma'elKoth is practically a God, so yes he's a genius.
Honestly, you should read all of the above if you haven't. All of the books I mentioned here are in my Top10 of all time.

Thanks guys.
I'm familiar with most books named but some I couldn't get into, I'll try them again as I tend to drop books when I start reading them but am too tired to focus properly.
The reason I asked for a protagonist is because a side character/dozens of POVs tend to make a character seem more mysterious and his plans more far reaching than they seem I find.
October 2nd, 2014, 06:05 PM #14
Seems like everyone has already stated the majority of characters I would have thought to mention, but I wanted to second one in particular that hasn't gotten much support.

Very good and very long web novel Worm by Wildbow
It's a superhumans sub-genre, and while some of supehumans are merely superpowered, some of them are "thinkers". And author managed make them looking really smart.

"He smiles the whole time and is full of joy for life," was how a friend described Gil-Ad Shaer, one of the three boys kidnapped on Thursday night.Eli Yemini, a spokesman for the Talmon settlement and an acquaintance of the Shaer family, spoke warmly of Gil-Ad, describing him as a popular and charismatic boy."He has a very generous heart. He volunteers his time especially with Bnei Akiva [youth movement] and invests a lot of time with the children in the branch where he is a counselor," he said."He's very family oriented, he's close with his grandparents and his siblings, and when he comes home from yeshiva everyone in the house comes alive," he said.According to Yemini, Gil-Ad, one of six siblings, is also an enthusiastic baker. His friends and family enjoy the cakes and treats he bakes for them.Rochelle Penkower, a family friend and neighbor, also noted Gil-Ad's culinary gifts, and said that his sisters in particular were big fans of his cakes and cookies, and that his mother frequently hands over baking responsibilities to Gil-Ad."He has a great smile; it's infectious. He's so friendly and popular and he's a sweetheart of a grandchild," she said.Penkower and Yemini described Gil-Ad as a responsible person, and Yemini said that he did not usually hitchhike.Yemini said that Gil-Ad was in constant contact with his parents while traveling Thursday night, and that as soon as they lost contact, they thought something was wrong, since it was not normal for him to not come home without mentioning where he would be.Gil-Ad's parents then informed the police in Modi'in, close to Talmon, that he had gone missing on Thursday night, Yemini said.Penkower said that the family was receiving a great deal of support from the community in Talmon and from the messages that have come to them from around the country.She added that Gil-Ad's mother had "thanked the Jewish people for their warmth and support" and requested that prayers continue to be said for the safe return of the three boys.Yishai Fraenkel, the uncle of 16-year-old Naftali Fraenkel, who was also kidnapped, described him as a warm personality, a boy who is "an energetic young adult and a sweet and engaging fellow.""He's a successful student, and he loves to play football, to play guitar and do the things that boys his age do," Fraenkel said of his nephew.Naftali's uncle noted his talent for reading the weekly Torah portion in synagogue and his willingness to contribute to the community in this way."He is an excellent reader, it's always a pleasure to hear him in synagogue, and beyond that we frequently have discussions about the correct pronunciations and grammar of the words," he said.He added that the entire family continues to pray for the safe return of the boys."We are praying for the help of the Heavenly powers, and their assistance to those forces here on earth to return the three boys to their families."

Muammar Gaddafi Raped, Beat Schoolgirls Kidnapped To Serve Him As Sex Slaves
Colonel Gaddafi beat and raped kidnapped schoolgirls he used as sex slaves in between checking his emails, according to a new book.
French reporter Annick Cojean gathered horrific accounts from the girls forced into the former Libyan dictator's harem for the account published last week.
One victim, named as Soraya, was 15 when she was abducted in 2004 by the late tyrant's 'talent scouts' after she was chosen to give him a bouquet when he visited her school.
Gaddafi had accepted the gift before placing his hand on her head, a sign she now realises meant 'I want this one'.
The next day women in uniform appeared at her mother's hair salon in Sirte and explained Gaddafi or The Guide, wanted her for another 'bouquet ceremony'.
She was driven for hours through the desert, had blood taken and her breasts measured before being stripped and shaved.
After being dressed in a thong and low-cut white satin dress, Soraya was escorted to Gaddafi's bedroom and was shocked to find him naked.
'He grabbed my hand and forced me to sit next to him on the bed,' she recounts, adding: 'I didn't dare look at him.
'He said, "Don't be afraid. I'm your papa. That's what you call me, isn't it? But I'm also your brother and your lover. I'm going to be all that for you. Because you are going to stay and live with me forever."'
Initially she fought him off and was sent off for lessons from Mabrouka, a sour-faced woman in charge of his 'harem'.
He had said: 'Teach her, educate her and bring her back.'
Describing herself as a 'sacrificial lamb' Gaddafi repeatedly raped, beat and urinated on the teenager during her five years in captivity, according to the book Les Proies: Dans le harem de Kadhafi (Prey: In Gaddafi's Harem).
Sometimes other girls would join them. When another girl performed oral sex on Gaddafi he would tell Soraya to 'Watch and learn,' while Mabrouka gave her porn films to watch as 'homework'.
Another victim, Houda, who was 18 when she met Gaddafi said he abused her for five years after she agreed to have sex with him if he freed her brother.
Well known as a tyrant, the women's accounts have helped to paint Gaddafi – or Papa Muammar as he liked to be called – in an even more monstrous light, outing him as a repugnant sadist for whom rape was a daily activity.
One girl describes how she was forced to wear lacy underwear and watch porn films. She added that Gaddafi had 'needed' several girls every day.
He also raped boys, sometimes in Soraya's presence.
The book also reveals how Gaddafi's sex slave victims are still suffering after being rejected by their families for having sex when they were not married.
Soraya says she lives in fear of her brothers, who may want to kill her to 'wipe away the shame'.
Female visitors were routinely subjected to blood tests by Gaddafi's nurses to make sure they were disease free in case he wanted to have sex with them.
Marie Colvin, the Sunday Times journalist killed in Syria last year, reported that a nurse had approached her with a needle when she was in Tripoli to interview Gaddafi. She declined to give blood.
When he was alive Gaddafi was always surrounded by uniformed women, but far from being security guards they were his sexual playthings kept at the dictator's beck and call, according to the book.
It also describes how Gaddafi kept a secret flat at Tripoli University to 'entertain students'.
Ms Cojean, a reporter for French newspaper Le Monde, said the accounts is the book had been one of her 'most painful investigations'.
In an interview with France24, she said: 'For Gaddafi, rape was a weapon…a way of dominating others – women, obviously, because it was easy, but also men, by possessing their wives and daughters.'

Cancer study shows power of interdisciplinary approachCAMBRIDGE, MA | Posted on December 3rd, 2007
Since about 2002, Suresh and colleagues have applied state-of-the-art techniques for the study of nanoscale mechanical properties of materials to the study of the physical characteristics of living cells, with a particular emphasis on infectious diseases and cancer. In several papers over the past three years, they have shown that metastatic, or spreading, pancreatic cancer cells are significantly softer (less stiff) than their benign and nonmetastatic counterparts. The results paved the way for a potential new diagnostic test for the disease.

Panasonic Corp. (Osaka, Japan) saw group sales drop 12% in the second quarter of its fiscal year and reported group sales were down 9% in the first half of the fiscal year.
Panasonic's Appliance business segment, however, saw sales increase 2% in the first half of its current fiscal year, to 814.0 billion yen (approx. US$10.2 billion), compared to 801.1 billion yen a year ago.
The company said sales were down in air-conditioners, but this was more than offset by sales increases in refrigerators and washing machines.
Appliance segment profit was slightly lower than the previous year: 51.0 billion yen (approx. $640 million), down from 52.8 billion yen.
Panasonic reported consolidated overall group sales for its fiscal year second quarter were down 12% to 1,823.7 billion yen, compared with 2,075.7 billion yen for the second quarter of the previous fiscal year. The decrease was blamed on a global sales decrease in digital products as well as weak Japanese markets for flat-panel TVs and PCs.
Panasonic's current fiscal year, fiscal 2013, ends March 31, 2013. Its previous fiscal year, fiscal 2012, ended March 31, 2012.

It's no surprise that every Just Go With It actor's favorite behind-the-scenes moment involved funnyman Adam Sandler and comedienne Jennifer Aniston.
"When I first meet them in the movie, Jen has to play this drunk woman," Brooklyn Decker told TVGuide.com at the film's New York City premiere. "It was hysterical to see the outtakes between the two of them."
"Why does everything John touches fall apart?" Elena asks in an upcoming episode of The Vampire Diaries.
We still don't know who John Gilbert (David Anders) works for or why he's really back in Mystic Falls, but Anders swears to TVGuide.com that his intentions for his biological daughter, Elena (Nina Dobrev), are good. But, he warns, "Nothing ever goes well by this guy. He likes to try to convey that sh--'s under control, but it never is, it seems."
On this week's episode of The Vampire Diaries, Stefan and Elena get away for what they hope will be a romantic weekend at the Gilbert family's lake house, not realizing they've been followed. Jules explains the importance of the sun and moon curse to Tyler, but leaves out an important detail. And Damon attends a tea at the Historical Society to talk to Elijah, who isn't giving up any secrets.
