Woman with baby in car charged with running down another woman
MANCHESTER - A woman driver, her 20-month-old son in a car seat beside her, deliberately ran down another woman Sunday on Wilson Street, according to police.
Mary Knee, 25, of 234 Wilson St. was arrested about 9 a.m. and charged with reckless conduct, conduct after an accident, both felonies, and endangering the welfare of a child. She also is accused of violating existing bail conditions.
Police said she deliberately struck Christina Moore, 29, of 574 Silver St., with her van as Moore was walking on Wilson Street. Moore suffered cuts and bruises to her hands and knees.
Lt. Maureen Tessier said the two women know each other and had an ongoing dispute.
Moore told police she was walking north on Wilson Street, near Cilley Road, when she saw a Ford Windstar van traveling south on Wilson Street heading toward her. Knee was driving the van, she said, and a young child was in the front passenger seat.
Both Moore and witnesses told investigators the van drove directly at Moore who jumped clear of its path, according to a news release The van, however, stopped, backed up and then turned around and drove at her again, this time hitting her with the front end of the van, propelling her up and over the front of the van.
The van fled the scene but police said they pulled it over a short time later near Silver and Wilson streets. Knee was driving it and her 20-month-old son was seated in a forward-facing car seat in the front seat, despite visible warning labels on the sun visor about the dangers to a small child seated there if an airbag is deployed, police said.

You know those spotless, clutter-free, amazing looking rooms you see in magazines? That can be your home. Seriously! Fresh Living's founder, Chantal Hounjet, created the company out of her combined love and talent for interior decorating and home improvement which paved the way to a career in Home Staging and Interior Redesign. Chantal is an International Staging and Redesign Professional, bringing her talents directly to your door..and she is your Trusted Saskatoon Interior Decorator and Home staging expert!
Here Chantal shares a tip on How to Clean Feather Pillows:
I never thought I would say this, but I actually think the more you clean, the more you actually want to clean. It is addicting to look at the immediate results of your hard work. You see the sparkling surfaces, smell the freshly scented air, and your whole life starts to look a little crisper and clearer. So I want to keep that feeling going by adding more cleanliness and purity to my life.
So when I went to sleep the other day and took a deep contented breath, I was more than a little grossed out my a not-so-fresh hitting my nose. You're welcome for that overshare.
Feeling empowered and invigorating by all the new cleaning products and tips I have been trying this spring, I took that momentum and used it to tackle my pillows. So on an oddly snowy Sunday this past weekend, my feather pillows got a bath in the washer.
1. Grab your feather pillows – whether sleeping or inserts. We are just talking feather pillows now because cotton and other fills are different to clean.
2. Wash two pillows at a time to balance the washer. Make sure to use the hand wash or delicate setting. I also recommend using my no-grate laundry detergent to give a nice fresh scent.
3. After the wash cycle toss them into the dryer on your hottest setting with a tennis ball, clean tennis shoes, or dryer hedge hogs like me! In the beginning I liked to fluff them every 15 minutes and just make sure they were doing okay.
Tip: These will take a long time to dry. For a more eco-friendly approach give them a short cycle in the dryer to allow them to fluff (it is essential to break up the clumps of wet feathers). Then, put them outside in a porch or covered area on a really hot day to lessen dryer time. These take a long time to dry – start them at the beginning of the day!
I was really curious on how these pillows would turn out. For some reason I was dubious if this would work. I am thrilled with how clean, fresh, and fluffy these came out of the dryer. So fluffy. I actually have a Despicable Me unicorn moment ("It's so FLUFFY!!")
Now I can breath deep before I go to bed and not be kind of grossed out by my interesting smelling pillows. Don't worry guests, your pillows are freshly laundered as well.

Here Lori shares a tip on choosing a kitchen sink:
When choosing a kitchen sink, design, size and type of installation are all very important.
If you are renovating, it is helpful if you take a couple of measurements inside your cabinet with the width and depth of the cabinet that will be accommodating the sink. If you bring those measurements along to your consultation with our Kitchen & Bath Classics expert they will help you choose your perfect sink. If planning new cabinets, we can work with your cabinet designer to match the size needed. Blanco has a number of options available to choose from, with sinks made from Stainless Steel, Siligranite and Fireclay.
The Blanco stainless steel sinks are 18 gage and have a wide variety of sizes and styles to choose from. The Blanco Attika sink with Steelart design, has a special elevated rim, making it a trendsetter showcasing popular architectural designs. The Blanco Practika laundry sink is an interesting undermount sink that has an integrated washboard for scrubbing.
The Blanco Siligranite sinks have a composite with 80% granite within them, creating a scratch and stain resistant sink. New colours available like Truffle and Cinder, introduce designer colours into your kitchen design. The Blanco Diamond with a low divide is a large sink with a lower centre divider allowing it to be used as both a single and a double sink. At Kitchen & Bath Classics we have many Blanco sinks on display so you can see the new colours and designs.
The Blanco Fireclay sink design is an undermount with an apron front, perfect with Granite, Quartz or other solid surface countertops.
Our Kitchen & Bath Classics experts will need to know what type of countertop you are planning to use, whether laminate, granite, quartz or other solid surface top, so we can suggest a drop in or undermount option for your sink.
Blanco also has a variety of Kitchen and Prep faucets to choose from in both chrome and stainless finishes with some featuring accents to coordinate with Siligranite colours.
At Kitchen & Bath Classics, our design Experts will assist you in making your choice for your kitchen, laundry or bar sink needs with a wide selection of product on display from Blanco.

Here Winmar shares their opinion about a recent article they saw on Facebook
Selena the owner of Winmar Saskatoon contacted the Trusted Saskatoon team, as she was concerned when she saw this article from another compamy pop up on Facebook recently
Grimy bathroom walls are a major red flag to buyers.
Here is an easy way to get rid of surface mold: Mix a spray bottle with one part water and one part bleach. Just spray it on the wall, and watch the mold disappear. Give it a fresh coat of paint, and your grimy bathroom will go from red flag to red-hot.SELENA Say's " THIS IS TERRIBLE ADVICE FOR HOMEOWNERS!! "
If they have mould, they should have an expert come in and determine what's causing the mould and remedy the underlying issue. Even if it is just surface mould (which the majority of homeowners wouldn't be able to determine by themselves), bleach is not the right product to use to clean it off. There are several other products specifically meant for this type of application, even a couple at Home Depot for homeowner use.

The decision to purchase your home is one of the most important decisions you will ever make, and will also be one of your largest investments. Done right, it can also be one of the most exciting and fulfilling times in your life! Kari Calder a saskatoon Realtor with Century 21 Fusion is there to help you through the process, and provide you and your family with the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you have a realtor working with your best interests in mind.
The goal of virtually every buyer out there is to buy a home that will increase in value. Nobody wants a house that turns out to be a money pit. How can you ensure that the home will increase in value? Here are a few things to look for that will ensure that your home purchase is a good solid investment.
Anyone in the real estate industry will tell you the 3 most important things in real estate are location, location, location. If you want your home to appreciate in value, you have to think about the neighbourhood you're choosing. You can choose many things about a home but location just isn't one of them. Also be weary of numerous for sale signs in the area. Multiple houses for sale within a small area is usually a clear sign that you should consider looking elsewhere.
The average square footage of a home has risen from less than 1,000 sq ft in 1950 to nearly 2,600 in 2013. Bigger isn't always better. It's better to be the smallest home on the block because then you leave yourself more room to build equity. Buy the least expensive house in the best neighbourhood you can afford will ensure an increase in value.
Most people know that curb appeal is important when selling a home but what if the sellers overlooked that key piece of info. As a buyer, don't overlook the house that may be hiding behind overgrown hedges. If you're willing to do the work yourself, you may just find a great deal that has been hiding.
You may be drawn to a home that's been nicely upgraded but don't run from one that is outdated. As long as the bones of a house are good, consider buying one that needs cosmetic work done to give a home an instant lift in value.
Always get a home inspection to asses a home's condition. To avoid regretting your purchase always make sure you have a home inspection prior to completing the sale to ensure that the structure and the mechanical of the home are in great shape and won't eat up any profit you might make.
Look for an expert negotiator to make the smartest home purchase. Hiring an agent, like myself, who will put your best interests first is a valuable one. Purchasing a home that's undervalue and that essentially increase in value when you take possession is one of the best ways to ensure that your home's value will increase.
Contact me today to ensure that you have a great REALTOR® working for you and ensuring that your investment is a smart one.

Here Scott shares a great tip on How to Maximize Your Selling Potential During Winter:
Some say winter is the worst time to sell a home. Given the cold and stormy weather we have been experiencing, there are definitely challenges, but don't be discouraged. First impressions and lasting impressions are key to progress potential buyers into active buyers. Be very wary as the slightest discomfort or issue can sour this experience and turn a buyer away from your home, but by addressing a few key areas, any winter woes can be easily avoided.
Here are five simple tips to maximize the showing potential of your home during the winter months.
1. Don't Let Winter be an Obstacle
It's storming or just post-storm, but you have showings booked for your home. (You must have motivated buyers to go out in that weather!) Don't make it even more of a chore for them, be sure to shovel your drive or walkway so that the first impression is a clean and accessible entry. Buyers have been known to turn away, rather than hike to the doorway in knee deep snow and risk snow in their shoes, wet pants, and wet socks.
2. Consider Your Home's Temperature
Remember, buyers are usually viewing more than one home at a time, and thus traveling around and running in and out of cars or up and down elevators in condos. Typically they will be dressed for the great outdoors, so although having the heat way up is great for lounging on the couch, it can be oppressive for visiting buyers. Be sure to monitor the temperature of the entire house and set it appropriately.
3. Get Buyers Out of the Dark and Into the Light
The winter months also mean shorter days and less natural light. Be sure to have adequate lighting in every room. Dark rooms are depressing when coming in from the cold. Keep it bright in the winter. Some may object for energy saving reasons, but it is best to leave all the lights on before showings or use timers. This allows you to set the mood lighting, and saves the buyers fumbling for light switches. Remember first impressions. Is your home a sanctuary or an oasis from the cold?
4. Preparation is Key
Be sure to prepare for those wet and snowy shoes and boots. No one likes having snow and dirt tracked around there home by shoes or wet socks, just as no one enjoys having wet socks and dodging puddles in the doorway. Be sure to have a "Shoes Off" sign. Place an absorbent mat protecting your stone or wood flooring. Be sure to have a shoe tray or appropriate storage area for shoes, not only to avoid the puddles but to show off the organization of your home. Apply this also to winter jackets, hats and scarves. Show functioning and organization by thoughtfully arranged set ups, don't just have outerwear exploding out of closets or haphazardly hanging on hooks or coat racks.
5. Pet-Friendly—and Groomed!
If you do own pets, be sure to have the appearance of clean pets…especially dogs. We love our furry friends, but it's best not to leave those dirty slush-soaked towels and doggy outfits laying around. The last thing you want is the smell of wet dog greeting your buyers at the front door.

Ruth, it is so exciting to find any info at all. Joseph born 1/28/1826 I have marrying Almira LaPLante in 1852. They moved to New Braintree, MA with Joseph's brother John (b.1820) who married Mercy ? (b.1831). Both families were very large. Joseph's children: Wilfred b 1850, Joseph b 1851, Alexander b 1855, Almira b 1857, John b 1859, August b 1860 (My gr.grandfather), and Orvelia b 1863. This was from the 1865 Census. Although, I don't remember anything in the family about someone settling in Taunton (I live there now!), I will definitely check on this. Do you think we have a connection? I have been led to believe that all Allaire's (Alarie) are connected if they are from Canada. Thanks, again.

The Principles of Agriculture Economics class at Barton Community College is currently exploring consumer choices and how they make those choices when selecting foodstuffs at the store. This discussion also includes the direct buyers of crops and livestock off the farm and ranch. It is helpful to remember that while economics is rife with numbers, charts, and statistics, economics is at its core a social science trying to explain and predict human behavior. This week's column explains how these choices made. Next week - how does agriculture respond?

After celebrating her 30th birthday at the start of this week, Danielle Bux joined her husband-to-be Gary Lineker and her seven-year-old daughter Ella at a charity shopping event in London's Covent Garden to raise funds for Great Ormand Street Hospital.
The couple stepped out solo on Tuesday, the day after Danielle turned 30, to mark the lingerie model's milestone year with a romantic dinner at one of Claridge's restaurants.
Forty-eight-year-old Gary and Danielle announced their engagement last September after dating for a year. They have asked Danielle's Hell's Kitchen pal Marco Pierre White to create the menu for their nuptials, which will reportedly take place in the Italian resort of Portofino this summer.

For the past year or so Tiemen Zwaan, the SF/F and YA buyer at my favorite local bookstore (the delightful American Book Center in Amsterdam), has been doing what he calls Blind Book Dates. As he explains in a blog post on the subject:
I discovered that if you wrap a book and just put a few keywords with cryptic descriptions on it, suddenly something mysterious started to happen. People were drawn to this unknown book. They started to try to guess the obscured title. Interestingly enough, not knowing the title and the author made people more likely to try a new read. All the great (but not widely known) books suddenly started to fly off the shelves. And people came back for more Blind Book Dates. They tried new books, novels that they usually wouldn't have picked up, and they really liked them.
I've seen the Blind Book Dates in the store, and the ones I've recognized have been well-chosen and well-described. I'm not surprised that people like them.
Tomorrow, the ABC in Amsterdam is hosting a Blind Book Date party, where people can bring their own wrapped and labeled books and try them out on other attendees. I've got other things to do and can't go, but it does sound like a fun idea. I thought we might play along here on Making Light.
Of course, on the internet we can only "wrap" things with our words. So I'm suggesting a wrinkle on Tiemen's rules: try to describe the book in about three points, but write them out in the style of another writer. I've included a couple of examples in this post, using fairly guessable books and styles. But I'd really love to hear about things I haven't run across before. (Christmas is a-coming, and my wishlist is looking kind of thin.)
For the first, this book is the story of a revolution—or perhaps it might be more precise to say, a rebellion. The terms are, alas, often used interchangeably by lesser historians, which has led to a not uncommon degree of confusion among readers of history. Therefore, rather than mislead, I shall merely state that it contains one or the other, depending on the reader's understanding of the matter at hand.
As a second clue, one of the characters in this book is not, in fact, human (nor, and I state this to once more be precise, is the character an Easterner). In short, he (or she, for the matter is not so much indeterminate as it is ambivalent) is not made of flesh at all.
The third hint that I will produce is this: the greatest proportion of the events that the author does us the honor of narrating take place not on the soil of our own native planet, but on, or rather principally underneath, that of a satellite of said planet.
- He has painted
the sigil
her forehead
with which
she can probably
the night god.
But what is
The meaning of
the silver
apricot stone?
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a demon-hunter desiring to retire must be in want of a final challenge.
However little he himself may wish it as he sips cardamom tea in his beloved city, this truth is so well fixed in the mind of the All-Merciful, that he is considered the rightful pursuer of any jackals and falcon princes that may appear.
Usual parlor game rules apply, please: it's OK to duplicate books and authors, because everyone's interpretations are interesting; ROT-13 your guesses. And do feel free to pick examples from outwith our usual genres and authors.

I vote in every election, even funny little off-year ones. And I'm very sympathetic to the argument that if voting didn't matter, certain factions among the powerful wouldn't be going to so much trouble to reduce the number of people allowed to do it.
But there's an argument I'm not sympathetic to, and I'm seeing it everywhere I look online today. It's the one that goes "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain."
It's bullshit. Everybody has the right to complain. People who disagree with you and me about the value of voting have the right to complain. Monarchists and anarchists have the right to complain. The foolish, the feckless, and the chronically annoying have the right to complain. People who forgot about the election have the right to complain. People who were too tired to get out of the house have the right to complain.
I don't want to get too far into the philosophical weeds of what "rights" actually are, which ones are "inherent" or "natural," or what any of that actually means in the real world. But to put it plainly, if there are fundamental rights to justice and equity, to fair treatment, then we're born with them. We don't earn them by voting, or by participating in any other specific political transaction that's evolved from the contigencies of history. To argue that "if you don't vote, you have no right to complain" is basically to frame fundamental human rights as a grant, not an entitlement. And it's to assert that you, O virtuous voter, have the right to revoke that grant to someone because they didn't value voting as highly as you do.
It's a bullying assertion of unearned moral superiority. Voting is fine. Go, vote. But stop saying that people who disagree about this should be stripped of their rights. Alternately, if you keep saying it, well, we have a pretty good idea of how much you respect the idea that fundamental rights are for everyone, not just people you happen to like and agree with.

You know what? I miss the non-political relief threads we had back in 2008. I really enjoyed reading what was rattling around in the mathom-houses of everyone's mind. So does anyone fancy another?
Today, after all, is a great day for such a thread. Not just because it's (at least in the Northern Hemisphere) a gathering-in and hoarding time, but also because it's All Saints' Day. In the Catholic tradition, today is kind of the catch-all feast for the saints who didn't make the Calendar, or who made it and were then superseded by some more recently beatified whippersnapper. It's a good day for thinking about quirky, eccentric figures and their forgotten histories.
So tell me. Who, among the neglected and misunderstood figures of the past, inspires you? In whose story do you find delight and inspiration? (They don't have to be Catholic, Christian, or religious at all. Just, you know, awesome in their own ways.)
I'll start with kind of a gimme: Joshua Norton, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico.
I mean, yes, it's fairly clear that the loss of his fortune, and the loss of the subsequent court case, contributed to a fundamental departure from consensus reality. But, like alcohol, that kind of delusion is a real test of character. We've certainly seen other people who have suffered such reverses and become their darkest selves.
So what did Norton do when he'd slipped his moorings? What true self did he reveal? He made a number of proclamations, which seem to have ranged from "a good idea but impractical" to "wait a century or so and we'll have it" (he called for a bridge across the San Francisco Bay and a tunnel under it). He spent his time inspecting the infrastructure of his demesne and paying attention to the activities of its public servants. He stopped a riot from becoming violent. He pardoned the policeman who arrested him for insanity and consistently thanked his benefactors.
If the proof of his life was in the ending of it, he proved out well: his funeral was paid for by well-wishers and attended by a reported 30,000 people. He's an icon of the Bay Area, but really, he belongs to us all: a man who lost his mind, perhaps, but never his heart.

As discussed in the current open thread: Velma Bowen de Selby died yesterday, in Seattle, 18 Oct 2014, at 3:30 PM (PDT). Her partner Soren de Selby was with her. Ave atque vale.
We will miss her forever.
Edited to add: New York memorial service details here; Seattle memorial details here. The organizers of both gatherings are requesting that people planning to attend get in touch.

One Hundred Spanish Proverbs
A fool who knows Latin is never a real fool.
A good man's pedigree is little hunted up.
A hundred years hence we shall all be bald.
A rich man is either a scoundrel or the heir of a scoundrel.
Always be patient with the rich and powerful.
An absent saint gets no candles.
An ounce of mother is worth a ton of priest.
As the abbot sings, the sacristan responds.
Beauty and chastity are always quarreling.
Better visit hell in your lifetime than after you're dead.
Between brothers, two witnesses and a notary.
Between two Saturdays happen many marvels.
Buy from desperate people, and sell to newlyweds.
Cheat me with the price, but not with the goods I buy.
Communism is a cow of many: well milked and badly fed.
Do not rejoice at my grief, for when mine is told, yours will be new.
Don't refuse a wing to the one who gave you the chicken.
Even a sugar mother-in-law tastes bitter.
Every cask smells of the wine it contains.
Every man for himself and God for us all.
Everything in its season, and turnips in Advent.
Fate sends almonds to toothless people.
From a fallen tree, all make kindling.
God is a good worker, but He loves to be helped.
Halfway is twelve miles when you have fourteen miles to go.
He that has no children brings them up well.
He who denies all confesses all.
He who goes with wolves learns to howl.
He who inherits a hill must climb it.
He who is a Basque, a good Christian, and has two mules, needs nothing more.
He who was first an acolyte, and afterwards an abbot or curate, knows what the boys do behind the altar.
Hell is full of the ungrateful.
How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterward.
I know they are all honest men, but my cloak is nowhere to be found.
I've fried my sausage in better pans than these.
If a person is away, his right is away.
If fools went not to market, bad wares would not be sold.
If I die, I forgive you. If I live, we shall see.
If the sky falls, hold up your hands.
If three people say you are an ass, put on a bridle.
If you can't bite, don't show your teeth.
If you cannot be chaste, be cautious.
If you have nothing better to do, go to bed with your own wife.
If you want to sleep well, buy the bed of a bankrupt.
If you would be pope, you must think of nothing else.
If your enemy is up to his waist in water, give him your hand; if the water reaches his shoulders, stand on his head.
If your wife tells you to throw yourself off a cliff, pray to God that it is a low one.
In large rivers one finds big fish, but one may also be drowned.
In the absence of honest men, they made my father mayor.
It is good to have friends, even in hell.
It is no fun to guard a house with two doors.
It's better to arrive on time than to be invited.
Laws, like the spider's web, catch the fly and let the hawk go free.
Let fools and wind pass.
Losers are always in the wrong.
Love can do much, money can do everything.
Love is like war: you begin when you like and leave off when you can.
Lovers always think that other people are blind.
Many things grow in the garden that were never sown there.
Never beg from one who was a beggar.
Never let a poor man advise you on investments.
Not everyone who wears spurs owns a horse.
Of what you see, believe very little; of what you are told, nothing.
Old age is cruel for whores and magicians.
One can't ring the bells and walk in the procession.
One drink is just right; two is too many; three are too few.
Only God helps the badly dressed.
Pay me back what you owe me; we'll talk later about what I owe you.
Since I wronged you, I have never liked you.
Take what you want, God said to man, and pay for it.
Talking about bulls is altogether different from being in the arena.
Tell a lie and find the truth.
The absent are always at fault.
The advice of foxes is dangerous for chickens.
The best cook drops a whole tomato.
The best word still has to be spoken.
The cat always leaves her mark upon her friend.
The empty purse boasts that she is made of leather.
The first drink with water, the second without water, the third like water.
The foolish sayings of a rich man pass for wise ones.
The judge's son goes into the courtroom without fear.
The king goes as far as he may, not as far as he could.
The more you flatter a fool, the more seriously he plays his game.
The patient who names a doctor his heir makes a big mistake.
The treason pleases, but the traitors are odious.
The turd is proud that the river will carry it.
The wolf loses his teeth but not his inclinations.
There is a great art in selling the wind.
There were already twenty in the family, so my grandmother had a baby.
Three Spaniards, four opinions.
Time and I against any two.
To drunken mothers-in-law give full jugs.
What a fool does in the end, the wise do in the beginning.
What cures the liver harms the spleen.
What have you to hide from someone who shows you his arse?
What is much desired is not believed when it comes.
When you are talking about marriage, think about your mother.
Where the river is deepest it makes the least noise.
Who gossips with you will gossip about you.
You can't have more bedbugs than a blanketful.

On sale today in hardcover and e-book in North America, and on November 1 in the UK and certain other parts of the world.
Excerpt here!
My (rather glib) flap copy:
Vlad Taltos was an oppressed and underprivileged Easterner—that is, a human—living in Adrilankha, capital of the Dragaeran Empire. Life was hard. Worse, it was irritating. Then Vlad made a great discovery: Dragaerans would pay him to kill other Draegarans. Win-win!
The years of Vlad's career as a crime boss and top assassin were cut short by a revolution, a divorce, and an attack of conscience (not necessarily in that order). In the midst of all that, he broke with the Jhereg, the Dragaeran house of organized crime. He's been a marked man ever since. The Jhereg want to kill him. The Jhereg would love to kill him.
So Vlad's been avoiding Adrilankha as much as possible. That hasn't worked out too well. His life is there: his ex-wife Cawti, his son, and all his friends. One of those friends is his former assistant Kragar, who's taken over Vlad's old territory and criminal operations. Vlad will need Kragar's help if he's going to return to Adrilankha and deal with this mess.
It won't be easy, and it certainly won't be simple. Because there are no messes like the ones you make yourself.
Some other people's opinions:
"Adventure, humor, and pure fun…Highly recommended."
—Booklist on Tiassa
"A wonderful return to form…This witty, wry tale stands well alone and is very accessible to new readers."
—Publishers Weekly on Tiassa
"Hawk, the 14th book in Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos series, is a moving, funny and tantalizing end-game glimpse of the assassin, reluctant revolutionary and epic wisecracker. [I've] been reading this generation-spanning series of Hungarian mythology, revolutionary politics, and gastronomy for more than 30 years.
"I have been reading the Vlad Taltos books all my life, have literally grown up with them, and eagerly await each new volume, counting the years while Brust finishes it. He claims he knows where it's all going — has known, in fact, since the first book — and there's ample evidence for that, because if there's one word I'd use to describe these, it'd be 'premeditated' — in a good way.
"That's because each volume of this series is, first and foremost, a caper story. Even the ones where Vlad lies dying on a cave floor for the whole book. Brust is one of those natural caper writers (as is amply evidenced in The Incrementalists, his wonderful collaboration with Skyler White), a pulp writer in the Hammett tradition, someone with what William Gibson calls 'wheels on his tractor.' In other words, a writer who can spin a yarn that keeps you guessing until the end, aware of many precise moving parts all meshing in synchrony to drive a magnificent jeweled watch of a story.
"Even better, Brust uses those marvellous plots to tell even more marvellous stories, full of delightful and gorgeously flawed characters whose mistakes are both inevitable and horrible, and whose victories are improbable, partial, fraught and deeply satisfying. Brust writes people you want to root for, even though they probably won't succeed (after all, who succeeds in the long run?)."
—Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing

Posted January 28, 2013 on AP on Fox
Pitcher Carl Pavano is in a Connecticut hospital following the removal of his spleen. He was injured when he fell in snow at his home in Vermont. The pitcher's agent said Monday the accident happened in mid-January. When Pavano didn't feel well after a workout in Connecticut, the 37-year-old right-hander went to a hospital and was diagnosed with a lacerated spleen. Agent David Pepe said doctors were not able to control bleeding, and Pavano's spleen was removed last week. Pepe hopes Pavano will be released from the hospital this week. He would not put a timetable on the free agent's possible return to baseball. Pavano spent the last 3 1-2 seasons with the Minnesota Twins, going 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA in 11 starts last year. He didn't pitch after June 1 because of a strained right shoulder.

If you ask something crazy that means you are asking for something crazy, and I am the last one to be defeated!
A man went into a restaurant and ordered his breakfast. When the waitress brought his coffee, he observed that her thumb was stuck in the coffee. When the scrambled eggs arrived, again he observed that her thumb was in the eggs.
This was too much, and he said, "Lady, I didn't say anything when I saw your thumb in my coffee, but now I see that your thumb is in my eggs, too."
"Well," said the waitress, "I have a painful arthritis in my thumb joint, and the doctor told me to put it into something warm and this would ease the pain."
The man was angry and said, "Well, why don't you stick it up your ass?"
"Oh, I do, I do," answered the waitress, "but only when I'm in the kitchen!"
Enough for today.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
This book does a good job explaining the fundamentals of getting lean, healthy, and vital.
The Good:
It will show you how to change what you eat, not how much you eat, and lose weight and feel better.
It will show you what types of food to include in your diet and how they help you, and what foods to avoid and why they harm you.
It will show you how to gauge your current fitness level so you can follow the program and then re-test to see how you're doing.
It will show you some a simple workout program that will help you get on the road to being lean, muscular, and strong.
It will give you some good supplement advice on what inexpensive dietary supplements you can take to significantly improve your performance and health.
The Whatever:
A few chapters were kind of "meh," such as the Magyver's Fridge one, the sex chapter, and the recipes. But there was plenty of helpful information throughout to offset this.
If you want to get a good education on the fundamentals of getting shredded, then I recommend this book. It fell a bit short in terms of workout programs and calculating an actual diet (it says you don't have to, but this will only work to a point). If you want to know how to work out and eat for maximum muscle gains and fat loss, then I recommend Bigger Leaner Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Male Body (The Lean Muscle Series)--ESPECIALLY if you're new to training or short on time.

Stopped here on a road trip and wasn't disappointed. The 12" pizza we ordered was very cheesy and the toppings were plentiful. The service was very friendly too. I could see at least 8 different beers on tap with two large televisions in the spacious seating area, and NASCAR garb hanging in various places. …
It was obvious when we went into Angelo's Pizza that is was a local favorite. The pizza isn't New York style, which I prefer or the new gourmet pizza, but it was good and they don't spare on the cheese, which I was sure was whole milk mozzarella. Good food nice people, little warm and stuffy inside. They offer some interesting combos, one had mayo on it. We did not try that one.

From the editor: Age defines news usage
|| Print |
|Articles - August 2011
|Wednesday, July 20, 2011
This month's input survey asked Oregon business leaders about their news habits, and what we found out syncs with what the Pew Research Center has documented about news consumers nationally.
Pew puts news consumers into four categories: Integrators, Net Newsers, Traditionalists and the Disengaged. Of the 668 participants in our survey, 86% were over 45. Broken down by age and how many news sources they use on a daily basis, it appears that most of our respondents fall into the Integrators or Traditionalists group. Thankfully, no one seems to be in the Disengaged group.
The Integrators get their news from both traditional sources such as newspapers, magazine and radio, and the Internet; they are a more engaged, sophisticated segment than those who mostly rely on traditional news sources. Integrators share some characteristics with the Net Newsers, a smaller, younger, more Internet-savvy audience segment. Integrators are well educated, affluent and middle aged. TV is their main news source, but most also get news online during a typical day.
Net Newsers are also affluent and well educated, but relatively young (median age: 35); 58% are men, and they still rely on some traditional media outlets. Pew says they are as likely as Integrators and Traditionalists to read magazines.
Traditionalists are 46% of the public and they are older (median age is 52) and less affluent than the other groups. They rely heavily on TV news during the entire day. Most have a computer, but few get news online during the day. In all of our age groups, and this is true nationally, social networking sites have not become a major source of news.
Despite national viewership of the nightly network news falling by half since the early 1990s, TV as a news source is still a force for all age groups. But you don't need to tell that to the stations in the Medford TV market. Writer Dan Cook's cover story on why the Medford market has an unusual amount of broadcast activity is an illuminating story of history and happenstance. It's a market that is grappling with seismic change, much like the rest of the entire media industry.

DEFINITION of 'Time Value'
The portion of an option's premium that is attributable to the amount of time remaining until the expiration of the option contract. An option's premium is comprised of two components: its intrinsic value and its time value. The intrinsic value is the difference between the price of the underlying (for example, the underlying stock or commodity) and the strike price of the option. Any premium that is in excess of the option's intrinsic value is referred to as its time value.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Time Value'
The price (or cost) of an option is an amount of money known as the premium. An option buyer pays this premium to an option seller in exchange for the right granted by the option: the choice (the "option") to exercise the option or allow it to expire worthless. The premium is equal to the intrinsic value plus the option's time value. The intrinsic value for a call option is equal to the underlying price minus the strike price; the intrinsic value for a put option is equal to the strike price minus the underlying price.
An option's time value is equal to its premium (the cost of the option) minus its intrinsic value (the difference between the strike price and the price of the underlying). As a general rule, the more time that remains until expiration, the greater the time value of the option. This is because investors are willing to pay a higher premium for more time since the contract will have longer to become profitable due to a favorable move in the underlying.
In general, an option loses one-third of its time value during the first half of its life, and the remaining two-thirds of its time value during the second half. Time value decreases over time, eventually decaying to zero at expiration, a phenomenon known as time decay.

Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer – Getting the Help You Need
The spinal cord is one of the most important parts of the body and is also one of the most vulnerable parts of the body as well. Damages on it could be very dangerous and it could affect the life of the person so much. That's why if you ever experienced some incidents which led to the damaging of it, you must definitely ask a spinal cord injury lawyer to help you get the compensation you deserved after all the troubles and hassles you have gone through.
For incidents like this, it is only right and proper to have someone with great skills and someone with sufficient knowledge about happenings like the one stated to be able to help you obtain justice. But is there really a need to have a legal representative to help you out? Can't you do it by yourself? In this case, it would be better to leave the matters to someone like an injury lawyer for example. Here are some benefits you could get by hiring an attorney to help you out with your case:
• High Probability of Being Compensated
With the help of these people, you are most likely to get the compensation you wanted to have. These compensations can really help a lot. What happened to you was unexpected so you might not even have the finances to support your needs. Injuries on this part of the body are very complicated. It might even need several complicated surgeries or operations which are pretty expensive. If you were that injured person, it would not be right to carry the burden alone. In the very first place, what happened was someone else's fault and for that they must take responsibility for what they did. These people must financially support you since what happened to you was because of their doings. However, some people may not conform to this. Some people may not give you financial support and for that, you must ask the help of an attorney immediately so that the person responsible to what happened to you will be forced to give you what you need. You need to be compensated for all the troubles you have gone through. Being involved in incidents like this is not easy and you could suffer gravely.
• Justice
With a personal injury lawyer helping you throughout the process, you can make sure that what happened to you will be given justice. The effects of injuries on this part of the body can be pretty grave. The effects range from minor ones to the more complicated and serious ones depending on the nature of the incident. When people have the minor injuries only, either their arms or their legs could be paralyzed. However, those people who happen to have the major and the more serious ones could have their whole bodies paralyzed because of what happened. Do you see now how your life could change so much just because of a mere accident? Even the minor ones could be very problematic to you, how much more if you have obtained the more complicated ones.
The effects of experiencing these troubles are life-altering in a negative way. We need every single part of the body and not being able to move one would be very troublesome. It is exactly for this reason why an expert person like an attorney must be sought out immediately when experiencing this kind of trouble. With the help of an attorney, you can surely achieve the justice you deserved and those people responsible for what happened to you will be punished and penalized accordingly. You need their expertise and skills to be able to win your case and for you to get what you are worthy of.
Choosing the Right Legal Representative
Your case is quite complicated. It would probably take months before you can get positive results since the case needs to be studied meticulously. For this, it is only proper to choose the right person to represent you all throughout the course. It would be better to choose the best attorney there is because you really need to be compensated for all the troubles you have experienced. A highly-reliable and skilled person could help you with that. Here are some of the things which you might need to consider when choosing your legal representative:
• The Person's Expertise
Your legal representative must be an expert too. He or She must be qualified to handle such cases which means that that person has already handled cases the same as with yours. With that, you can ensure that you can really be compensated since they know how the whole ordeal works. They know how to defend you so you do not need to worry about anything anymore. Also, they must be in the field for years already. Chances of you winning the case would be higher if you have a more experienced person as a legal representative.
• Professionalism
It is very important that the attorney you have chosen is a professional when it comes to the job. When we say professional, he or she must be able to handle the case well. Another thing is that, they must also observe professional secrecy or confidentiality. It is very important that what you say to him/her must not be disclosed to anyone without your permission. These people are bound by this law and they must never disobey it in any way. By having someone professional handling your problem, you can ensure that you can really get the justice you want and your goals will be met along the way.
Hiring the Best Lawyer to Help with Your Contention
Hiring a person to become your legal representative is a must when it comes to these kinds of situations. The situation you are in is very murky and anything could happen if you won't take it seriously. These people can help you get what you have been wanting for a long time and that is justice. The things which have been mentioned above will be able to help you win your case.
Many attorneys now exist to help the people with their problems so you must be very meticulous when choosing one. Without a doubt, these people are all capable to handle your case but not everyone can be suitable to take care of your matters. We know that each person has his or her own strong and weak points and that applies to these people too. There are lawyers which are good at some cases while there are also some which are not that great. It really depends depending on his or her capabilities. It is exactly for this reason why you must really make sure to research first before choosing your attorney. Don't just choose any person for that matter since your life is at stake here. If you won't choose the right person to defend or represent you during the whole course, you might not get the treatment you deserved to have and those people responsible might not be penalized and be punished for what they have done.
See to it that your personal legal representative is truly right for the job. Of course, lawyers have different specialties so you really need to choose someone who is expert in your case. As what was stated earlier, they have strong points too so for your problem; choose someone who knows how to handle injury cases especially those which have something to do with the spinal cord. Make sure that he or she has handled several cases before which also deal about the same thing you are undergoing. Obviously, if you leave your case in the hands of these people, you have a higher chance of finally getting the justice you have always wanted to have.
There is a great need to have someone, especially an expert to help you with your problems. What you have experienced is grave and the people who made that possible must take responsibility for their actions. What happened to you could affect so much of your life and your future as well. You deserved to be compensated and to have justice and for that, you need someone to back you up during the whole course. If ever you have experienced things like this, do not hesitate to seek immediate help. Ask a spinal cord injury attorney to help you with your case and you will surely get that treatment you deserved to have,

Animal print is something that will always be in fashion one way or another. Whether it's handbags, dresses or in your home, the endless varieties and possibilities means the look never gets old. Here are a few ideas on how to introduce it into your home and different ways of how you can rock the look…
In the bedroom
For the ultimate luxury look, an animal skin rug on the floor (depending on your beliefs) will give your home an instant update. I think this looks fab in a bedroom that needs a bit of a modern twist without committing and making the space look too busy.
In the living room
Thick, furry rugs mixed with animal print adds a sense of warmth and luxury to your home. I love the decadent, fluffy throw paired with the gorgeous leapord print upholstered chair. This is a fabulous look for winter as it's cosy and cool without looking like too much thought has gone into it.
A great way of introducing animal print into your decor is by dotting accessories around. A few leapord print scatter cushions will give you an instant animal update. Another way is by upholstering your lamps with light animal print, to add a subtle splash to your home.
Feature wall
Snake print is an option that is often overlooked, but is also super stylish and smart. I love this feature wall, as the pale colours are so subtle and don't clamour for attention amongst the serene decor.

It says he was disciplined, I didnt know that, but I do know that he has been very caring, returned my phone calls, sent me every piece of paperwork, showed full concern for my situation, and I would recomend this attorney, he was very nice and knowledgeable and worked hard.
