Columbia Resident Arrested on Tax Charges in Greenville
A Richland County resident was arrested today following charges of state income tax evasion.
South Carolina Department of Revenue investigators charged Gerard Herman Lin, with three counts of income tax evasion for tax years 2005, 2006 and 2007. He is being held at the Greenville County Law Enforcement Center pending a bond hearing.
Lin, who hired someone else to prepare his returns, is accused of claiming more than $88,000 in bogus tax deductions on his 2005, 2006, and 2007 state tax returns. During an audit of the tax returns, Lin submitted false documents to the Department of Revenue in attempts to verify the bogus deductions claimed on the returns. The Department estimates Lin attempted to evade more than $5,000 of state income tax for the periods.
He is facing up to 15 years in prison and fines of up to $30,000 if convicted of the charges.

We promised big news. It doesn't get much bigger than this.
Can't make it to San Diego? Still want to feel like you're there? Going to the show, but want the full experience?
What can you do beyond read this here blog (especially this week, as we roll out a ton of news)? How about picking up an exclusive issue of TV GUIDE MAGAZINE, featuring all the SDCC news you require?
Not long ago, we unveiled the news that the Justice League would be teaming with the international heroes of Teshkeel Comics' THE 99 series to face off against a globe-spanning threat – cool, huh? Well, now we have a first look at the cover, from artist Felipe Massafera.
The fine folks at The Harvey Awards have announced their nominees for this year's awards. Named in honor of the late Harvey Kurtzman, the awards will be presented August 28 in Baltimore, in conjunction with the Baltimore Comic-Con.
Best known for his legendary autobiographical AMERICAN SPLENDOR series, which was published independently and also by Vertigo in recent years, Harvey Pekar was a unique and definitive voice in the industry that will never be replicated.
Before we get into the tidal wave of news hitting this week, let's take a moment and look at a comic hitting shops this week.
The comic book industry kicks into high gear next week, as creators, companies, studios and fans converge on San Diego for the biggest pop culture event of the year, San Diego Comic-Con. But why wait?
Whether you can't make the show or because you want to get the news and excitement kicking early, The Source is here for you.

A Peaceful End to the War on Drugs?
Page 2
Rebecca Leisher: The coca plant is considered sacred and is used medicinally in a lot of indigenous communities. What roles do cultural differences play in why we vilify some of these mind-altering substances more than others?
Sanho Tree: The coca bush actually has a lot of historical and beneficial uses. It is a source of medicine, of sustenance; it helps fight altitude sickness; it fights hunger, thirst; it has protein, iron, calcium—in the high Andes people may not have access to those kinds of minerals and vitamins. It's called "coca mama" by many indigenous peoples—it's a gift from the gods.
And in its natural state it's just about impossible to abuse. It's only when it's refined into cocaine that it becomes more problematic. Indigenous people should not have to pay the price for our abuse. It's like saying, if you could extract methamphetamine out of coffee beans, would we then tolerate the banning of coffee because some people had a problem with methamphetamines? Similarly if some people have a problem with alcohol, should we aerially spray Sonoma and Napa County and destroy the grape crops?
Rebecca Leisher: You wrote in a recent op-ed, "There are many alternatives in the spectrum between prohibition and total free-market legalization." What might some of those look like?
Sanho Tree: The majority of people who try these drugs are not problematic users, but we make policies based on the extremes, rather than the average. And we have laws already to hold people accountable for their conduct. If you operate a vehicle, if you endanger other people—we already have laws in place for that. Not all use is abuse, not all abuse is addiction. There are some drugs that you don't want people to play around with—there aren't many happy endings on meth. But on opiates and certainly on cannabis, there's a lot of non-problematic use. And when some of those are problematic it's to the individual, not to society.
In what other forms of public health do we use police, prosecutors and prisons as the primary means of making people healthy again? It's kind of like treating clinical depression with a baseball bat: "Smile or I'm going to beat you again." You can't coerce someone into being healthy. We want doctors and therapists in the lead on this, not police and prosecutors and prisons. They're not trained to make people better.
DARE … For Something Different
Rebecca Leisher: So what are the alternatives, or where should we be putting our resources in trying to address the root causes of the drug problem?
Sanho Tree: The root causes on both the supply and demand side are rooted in problems of poverty, despair, and alienation. Poverty is the one that's easiest to identify, but despair and alienation cut across class lines. Not only do we have to build a healthy society—we have to build a society that's meaningful.
Our spending on the drug war is upside down. The majority of the money goes to supply side policies, with eradication, incarceration, and law enforcement eating up two thirds of the drug control budget. And less than a third goes to prevention, treatment, and education. Ultimately the best way to keep people off drugs is to give them a reason to look forward to tomorrow. If you believe that tomorrow is not going to be a better day, then we get all kinds of problems in society—not just drugs. And for a lot of people, they do believe that their best days are behind them, and so that's when you get the manifestations of not just drugs but all kinds of antisocial behaviors.
A lot of the social democracies in Europe are able to have very liberal drug laws and much lower rates of drug use. It's not a question of who has tougher drug laws that determine this but they have in many ways set out to build a healthy society. If you go to the Netherlands and do a drug policy tour, they will take you to the school system and show you how their education system works. They will take you to the public housing system, the health system, and only then will they take you to the coffee shops to talk about drugs themselves. It's really about building a healthy individual. And they've done something remarkable—they've managed to make marijuana boring. It's not forbidden fruit; people can take it or leave it if they're over 18, and most people choose to leave it. They have lower rates of marijuana use than the United States. Those are the kinds of lessons we need to learn.
Just The Facts: It's A Locking-People-Up Problem
The American problem with mass incarceration is less about crime than it is about how—and who—we lock up.
One of the positive things we can do in the United States is have honest educational systems instead of the D.A.R.E. program. We educate kids about drugs in ridiculous ways. We begin with a series of lies: "Kids, drugs are bad, they make you feel bad, don't take them." No, they make you feel good—that's why people take them! There are bad consequences—both in terms of the legal system and physiologically and psychologically— but you can't begin by a series of lies. It just creates more cynicism. That's when it gets really dangerous because then you can't teach kids about the really important things, about real, relative dangers—like methamphetamines, like heroin—things that are truly addictive and damaging. You can't equate that with marijuana.
Generationally, we're at a crossroads. It's harder and harder to find a presidential candidate or a member of Congress that can claim to have been drug-free all their lives. This is important because it brings out a question we should pose to politicians: would a good, stiff prison sentence for drug use have made your life better? And if not, then why is it so good for all these other people, particularly poor people and people of color?
Rebecca Leisher: On an individual level, what can people do to work toward changing these policies?
Sanho Tree: History is made by those who show up. People have a lot more power at the local level than they realize. How do you take limited resources and leverage them to produce the maximum effect? You can build effective, more powerful coalitions by understanding how power works and what politicians listen to. It's not just a matter of emailing politicians or your member of congress. The amount of time it takes for you to express your opinion carries more weight if it's something that takes more effort or time.
People in the U.S. can talk to their representatives and actually implement international policies that help farmers in particular, not through these FTAs which help elites. There is lots of positive-type aid that could be used to address some of these problems, while we're going after simple-minded solutions.
As an historian I'll tell you the only thing that I'm certain of is change—and sometimes it's even for the better. So that's what gives me hope.

Bee Blocks + end of summer
Nedra. The block comes from Allison's Spin Cycle quilt. I've always loved that quilt and it was such a fun block to assemble - I think I need to to make one of these. Such a good way to bust some stash too.
And finally, school started this past Tuesday and my baby started first grade! He even wore his favorite Turtle shirt to impress his classmates. I assumed he'd miss me so much, being gone all day for the first time, so I walked up to the school to meet him on his way home. As he zoomed past me on his scooter he yelled, "See ya sucker!" Then when we got home and I tried to give him a big hug he said, "Mom! I'm not in Kindergarten anymore!" So apparently my role as a mother is complete. (kidding)
I'm still in a state of disbelief that I've reached the stage of my life where all my children are in school all day. It doesn't mean our life will be totally free of all craziness, but it does mean that I will have a chunk of uninterrupted time each day along with the remote possibility that our house will stay slightly less messy sometimes - or it could just mean that I won't have anyone else to blame the mess on.
I do have to admit though, that whenever someone asks me what I'm going to do with my time and if I'm going to be 'bored' with my children gone all day, I want to laugh maniacally. My to-do list is so long, I don't think I'll have time to get bored for at least 20 years.

They grow up so fast, don't they?! My oldest is in third grade and the I find myself daydreaming of the year my youngest goes to kindergarten. The thought of uninterrupted work/sewing time is very intoxicating :)ReplyDelete
Lovely blocks and your son is a cutie! Glad he's enjoying school! =)ReplyDelete
I know just what you mean. :o) My list is long too and always plenty to keep us busy! :o) Your little guy is just the cutest! Your blocks look fabulous. This has been so much fun!! I love sewing for each lady and seeing what patterns they choose. My month is January and I can't decide what I want to do! :o) Have a fabulous day Amy! love ya, TrishReplyDelete
Yeah, I just love it when people assume that I will go back to work when my kids are in school. They have no idea!ReplyDelete
My kids are in Children's Day Out 2 days a week. People are always asking if I am enjoying my free time. I do laugh at them. Then I tell them the long list of things I try to squeeze in to the two partial days they're at school. People have no idea. lolReplyDelete
Congrats to your little guy. I enjoyed teaching first graders! They're a hoot!
Bored? Only boring people get bored! I am dreaming of having that school time to myself - only 3 years to go!ReplyDelete
Congratulations on having a little time to yourself! How can anyone ever be bored? There are so many fun things to do in life (not to mention the things that have to be done)!ReplyDelete
Wow, everyone is in school. I look forward to that day :) Enjoy your time, and don't bother cleaning, that is what Saturday and little people are for. You know, Saturday is a special day it's the day we do everything mommy didn't do all week ;) At least that is how I taught the song to my kids :)ReplyDelete
Pretty blocks!! :) :) Have a great day! Hugs, HollyReplyDelete
Those blocks are gorgeous. I LOVE the prints in the first one- it's right up my alley- bright and fun. :) I love the "sucker" comment- hilarious. ;) So excited to see what you do with all your "free" time. lolReplyDelete
Great bee blocks, Amy. "Laughing maniacly" made me laugh out loud for some reason...ReplyDelete
Big moment to send the youngest off to school. His comments show you have raised him to be independent, which is essential for him to eventually "leave the nest".ReplyDelete
And I love my block! Thank YOU!
I am in the same boat this year, Amy. I keep busy with 2 little guys (that aren't mine) 3 days a week and trying to cross some things off my long list of things to do. Sometimes I feel like I still don't have time for laundry (or maybe I just make excuses not to do it...ha!) Enjoy the quiet. Smiles~BethReplyDelete
It's such a strange transition to have your children away at school during the day. When mine first started I remember thinking that I'd finally have time to get stuff done. Come to find out I don't have nearly as much time as I thought. Mine are now in 8th and 5th grades and each and every year when school starts back up again I go through a funk . . . just trying to find my way. :)ReplyDelete
I don't know if I'll ever get to the point where I can say "See ya later suckers!" So cute!
Hee hee, as if you could be bored! Still, it's good to know that you're done as a mum with at least one child ;o)ReplyDelete
Your son is adorable and I love your story about his passing you on his scooter! As much as you miss them... it is nice to have some time each day to do what YOU want to do. I LOVE ALL of your work! I love all of the fun bright colors and patterns that you use... I, too, like these same fun and cheery colors, which is why I LOVE following your blog. Keep sending us new ideas and quilts to make and fun fabrics and I will continue to be a faithful follower! Best to you and your family! Betsy Davis firstname.lastname@example.com
That top block is so beautiful! I love all the colors and I love love the prints!ReplyDelete
Enjoy your time!
Gorgeous blocks Amy! Your son looks very happy in his fabulous tshirt :)ReplyDelete
I long for the day all mine will be in school although since I'm expecting another it won't be for a while!! I know it goes fast though so I'm enjoying every minute x
I share your sentiment! I often joke that the last time I was bored was in 1972 when I was pulled from my classroom at the last minute to attend a Career Education Training that was poorly prepared and presented to a captive audience of rude people. I'm sure it's happened once or twice since then, but I always try to have some handwork of some kind!ReplyDelete
Hahaha! That is soooo funny with the scooter. I had to pause the movie my sister was watching to share with her. Hmm, all that spare time you'll have between fixing the house after breakfast and planning for dinner and planning the day/week/monthly schedule for the family and laundry and household projects and yard planning and church activities and sewing and planning sewing and blogging and then when the kids are home... Oh, yup, all that free time :)ReplyDelete
Hi Amy! Your son is a crack up! Those Bee blocks are beautiful! The Echino reminds me of the pieces I sent you after Market last year. Hope you are doing well! I just started a blog, check it out when you have some time!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

The Staffordshire Hoard - What Next?
14th October 2009
Find out what will happen next, and how you can help bring the Hoard back.
Staffordshire Hoard Update
The Staffordshire Hoard exhibition closed to public view at 9pm on Tuesday October 13th. Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery extended the opening hours to meet the huge public demand to see the Hoard during the display, and visitors took full advantage of this . A queue of visitors could be seen every day to see 80 of the 1,500 objects that had been unearthed in Staffordshire in July. Some 40,000 people have seen the hoard artifacts in the two and a half weeks it has been on display.
What Next
The Hoard will go on display for a short period of time at the British Museum from November 3rd.
The Treasure Valuation Committee, which has the remit of valuing the find at a fair market value, will meet in November to consider the case and make a recommendation to the Secretary of State. With the backing of culture minister Margaret Hodge and the British Museum, Birmingham City Council and Stoke on Trent City Council are creating a partnership aimed at keeping the hoard in the Midlands.
Rita McLean, Head of Birmingham Museums and Heritage said: "There are many stakeholders and partners right across the region that have an interest in this extraordinary discovery of Anglo-Saxon treasure, we will be working collaboratively with Staffordshire County Council, Lichfield District Council and the other key institutions who have also expressed a desire to be partners. I am also delighted that the British Museum and Portable Antiquities Scheme will continue to work with us on this major project."
A fundraising appeal for the Hoard was launched on Monday 5th October. Donations can also be made by cheque or on line which allows for the re-claim of Gift Aid (which adds up to an extra 28p for every pound donated, at no extra cost to the donor). Find out how you can donate on the Support Us page or if you would like to donate online you can go direct to the Charity Choice website to support the appeal.
You can follow news from this museum through the RSS 2.0 feed.

Payday Advance Lenders: The Benefits of Payday Loans
Everyone goes through financial troubles once in a while. Even with a good-paying job you may find yourself in over your head with debt and unable to pay your bills. In those times of struggle you may want to turn to a payday advance lender. Payday advance lenders offer payday loans or cash advance loans which can help get you by until your next pay day. If you're behind on money you may feel too embarrassed to ask anyone you know for help. You don't want to admit to your friends and family that you can't afford your bills but that isn't the only option you have.
The general purpose of these loans is to give you your typical pay's worth or at least a portion of it so you have the money you need until your next payday actually arrives. These loans are beneficial for a few different reasons all which are worth taking into consideration. The actual amount offered in payday loans can vary quite significantly depending on the payday lender you go through and your regular income. Typically the more money you make each pay and the better your credit the more money you can get approved for in your loan.
The application process is very simple. All you need is some basic personal identification along with proof of income. This shows that you do have a steady source of income and will be able to make the loan payment when the time comes. If you are approved for the loan you usually get the money the same day. In most cases you provide your bank information and the money will be directly deposited into your account. You then have two to four weeks to pay the money back.
Another advantage of the buildingbridges payday advance lenders is that most of these payday loan centers will give you extra time to pay the loan back if needed. You simply have to get in touch with someone there and advise them of your situation. As long as you stay in contact and are willing to come to terms on a payment agreement of sorts they are usually more than happy to work this out with you.
If you're interested in getting a payday loan for yourself you can apply and get the process started today. It's well worth at least looking into if you're behind on bills and need some extra cash to get you by in the meantime. It's always good to know that you do have options so you never have to feel stuck and frustrated. Even with bad credit or no credit at all you know you always have somewhere to turn if you need some extra cash.

Shepherdstown, WV, United States
"Another Great Wind River Reservation Story"
In the headline of my review of the first Wind River book, I made a typo (hello, proofreading!) - I meant to say "Escape TO the Wind River Reservation". So, I'm here to make amends and recommend "The Ghost Walker" as well. This is a series that deserves attention. They have an appeal that evokes the great Tony Hillerman's Navajo stories, with their well-drawn characters and love for the bleak landscapes of the reservation.
I think you'll like getting to know the people in these books, and you'll find lots of interesting detail about life on the reservation.
"A Study of the Strangeness of People"
This is a fascinating listen! You might think map collectors and dealers just couldn't be all that interesting, but you would be wrong.
Anyone who has poured over a map on the fly leaves of a book or noticed the beauty of a colorful map will appreciate the subject matter here. There's a lot of surprisingly enlightening information about the history and artistry of map making around the world. Listening while on road trips, my husband and I found ourselves learning a lot and enjoying the process.
But this is not a book just about maps. It's primarily about people and their odd, odd ways. Forbes Smiley is the map collector, student, dealer, and, finally, thief. He's a complicated man - one who can love maps and the libraries which harbor them while, at the same time, consistently stealing for personal gain from the institutions and people who trust him.
It's also about the incredible lack of records and security in rare book libraries and archives. About the defensiveness of university and public library officials who fear losing prospective donations so much that they fail to report thefts from their collections. About collectors and dealers who eagerly snap up maps which they well know may be stolen. About the distinction between "fine art" and these lovely antique maps and atlases - and the discrepancy between punishments for criminals involved in stealing them.
This book is about a lot. I think just about anyone will like it!
"Swashbuckle City!"
Most of Georgette Heyer's best known romances are set in the fairly sedate English Regency period at the beginning of the 19th century, but "The Masqueraders" takes place a couple of generations before that. The Hanoverian King George I has recently defeated the Stuart line of Bonny Prince Charles, so the politics are more unsettled and dangerous at this point in time. The French Revolution is 50 years in the future, so English aristocrats still emulate their continental counterparts in lavish dress, speech, and exaggerated manners. Duels are common and pretty much tolerated in a fairly permissive society.
Add to this exotic setting a couple of young adventurers, Prudence and Robin, who assume gender-bending disguises to obscure their politically- and socially-suspect past. Confused prospective lovers, a couple of duels and carriage chases, and an oh-so-eccentric father add complications and hijinks galore.
The story and characters are alternately charming and frustrating, as is the somewhat antiquated language assumed by the author. I believe that Ruth Sillers does a wonderful job of presenting this hodgepodge of French-accented and mannered English without often resorting to an overly arch tone.
I still prefer the Regencies, but "The Masqueraders" does offer some memorable characters, stirring action sequences, and a change in style and tone.
"Splendid and Splendider!"
Since Neil Gaiman's own excellent reading of this was already in my library, I hesitated before adding the dramatized version of "The Graveyard Book." How glad I am that I went ahead and used a credit!
This man has written lots of memorable books, but "The Graveyard Book" stands out. There's a lot of love in here, and it is wonderful to hear the author explain a little about that at the end of the recording. No one will be surprised to hear that the work is quite important personally to Mr. Gaiman - it shows in every chapter.
There's a lot that is very special in this book regardless of how it's experienced - I have read the hard copy and enjoyed both audios. The characters - living, dead or somewhere in between - are absolutely real and absolutely unforgettable. The episodic nature of the narrative not only reflects its admitted source, Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book," but it makes for excellent reading aloud in segments - sharing with children or adults. (I imagine even the cats and dogs listening in during an evening reading will love it.)
The fine actors involved in this production all obviously enjoyed performing this for us. If you've already read it, consider getting this edition as well. "The Graveyard Book" simply cannot read or heard too many times!
One personal note - my young grandchildren live in a house across from an historical cemetery. They play there and ride their bikes and look for angel headstones. Before very long, I hope to introduce them to the world of "The Graveyard Book." I think they will feel quite at home in its pages.
"You're Gonna Love It!"
I've never listened to a "Great Courses" on Audible that I didn't find at the very least interesting. This particular set of lectures surprised me a lot! And I loved it!
I was expecting Ulysses and other heroes of classical literature. Not so much was I considering the inclusion of Sherlock Holmes, Frodo Baggins, James Bond and, for heaven's sake, Lizbet Salandar of "Dragon Tattoo" fame! Yet here they are, and Professor Shippey makes an enthusiastic and convincing case for including them all and more.
These heroes and heroines (and Shippey includes an impressive number of female examples) are skillfully contrasted and connected as well as put in the context of their classical origins, their own times, and right now. Each discussion revolves around the nature of the example: what makes him/her a hero? How is she/he like and unlike other heroes? Why has he/she stood the test of time and changing tastes and values?
Taking us from less-likely examples such as Elizabeth Bennett and Uncle Tom (don't scoff - listen to what he has to say! ) up to Harry Potter and Katniss Everdeen, the content and presentation of this material is timely, fascinating, enlightening, and inspiring.
There's something for everyone here - it's time excellently spent!
"Brave and Honest"
I write this as one who had a lovely childhood. Oh, my family had issues and ups and downs, but there was never any doubt about the love, respect, support, and security offered by my parents.
So it should be for all children! I've long admired Alan Cumming as a fearless actor and as a wonderful narrator - now I also admire him as a survivor who shares his painful story with emotion and frankness which can not fail to be an inspiration for us all and especially for those who have also suffered childhood abuse.
The book moves back and forth in time to reveal the fear and confusion of a child dealing with that abuse and the struggle of an adult to comprehend and come to terms with it and the inevitable effects it had on himself and his family. And it's all told within the context of the filming of an episode of "Who Do You Think You Are?", a series which explores the family trees of celebrities. We learn a lot about the process of that show and about the life it is focusing on in this case - that of Cumming's troubled grandfather. The two stories seem in ways to be completely different, yet there are striking similarities and the juxtaposition works.
No one but Alan Cumming could have narrated this book. Listening to it is an incredible experience!
"Young Lady with Mind and Heart!"
"Arabella" is one of Georgette Heyer's earlier books, and it illustrates much of what makes her writing so much fun. The title character is young, spirited and lovely - but what sets her apart is her native intelligence and her exceptional heart. Our hero is experienced and a little jaded (and, OK, to modern audiences, just a shade too patronizing), but he recognizes the quality as well as the physical attributes of the lady. A charming, highly mannered Regency romance ensues.
We might wish for more of the eccentric and funny secondary characters that Heyer so deftly presents in later books ("Sylvester", "Venetia", "A Civil Contract" are excellent examples), but I dare anyone to resist Jemmy the chimney sweep or especially the wonderful Ulysses in "Arabella".
It's a short listen, but, as one of Heyer's characters might say, "highly diverting".
"Perfect Title for an Enlightening Experience"
Thank you Great Courses!
I loved this listen! I bought it because I had read about Bill Gates' suggestion that this set of lectures be adapted for High School use. He thought it a brilliant new way of looking at the structure and content of the basic history course.
Well, I think he and Professor Christian are absolutely right. This course begins with the real beginning - progresses through the formation of our universe, our solar system, and our planet to the eruption of life, division of species, and, finally, the development of human civilizations.
It's all here and presented in a fascinating way. The Professor is a wonderful speaker, and his enthusiasm for this material is evident and contagious. My husband and I listened during many drives and found ourselves several times going out of our way to avoid arrival before a lecture ended!
I hope Gates can help encourage more school systems to consider "Big History" as a high school course. It's high time for a more inclusive approach to history.
"Big History" is a long trip, but it's a total pleasure. Embrace it!
"Wanted to love it, but. . . ."
Do you ever get the feeling that you've heard or read a book before? Well, "The Invention of Wings" is one of those. There's much to admire: the Grimke sisters offer an excellent and mostly unknown historic starting point; the main characters are well drawn; the narration is excellent throughout.
But there's just nothing new here. We have already pretty much realized that slavery was horrific. That early 19th century society was also confining for intelligent, sympathetic women in general. Not until the author's statement at the end do we learn all that much about the historic sisters' lives - and that an equally important half of the story is entirely fictional.
I was expecting more.
"Games Teenagers Play - And Adults Too!"
I think I know what Tana French was getting at in this quite different book. She begins with pulling you into this seemingly uniquely banal teenage world. Girls sniping, bickering, bullying in an elite private school - totally unlike the adult world, yeh? Then, slowly and throughout the book, she introduces the parallel, if more subtle, ways in which the police culture is structured. Repeating the same painful scenes: jealous, sniping men and women vying for top dog status!
It's actually very clever, and you have to wade through perhaps too much teenage angst and confusing skips back in time to get there. I found it hard to understand, for instance, why it was so important to emphasize that one story line took place in one day. And why the other storyline was so repetitive. The two-narrator decision is fairly clear - it helps distinguish for the listener just where in time you are at any given moment. But this concept was not helped by the grating, valley-girl accent of the female narrator - or by the strong accents that took really getting used to.
I respect an author who tries different styles, so Tana French will remain, for me, an intriguing voice among young writers. I tend to agree with other reviewers that this work might well have been better experienced in written form.
But I got the point.
"Lessons We Learn"
How is it that some of the people treated most badly in this country end up being some of the best heroes and patriots?
I know an American woman of Japanese descent who spent years in an interment camp while her two brothers served very honorably in the US Armed Services. She was never bitter, but she has only recently told her story, even to her family.
Here we have Chester Nez, a boy forced to attend an abusive boarding school, which would forbid him his language, change his name, and denigrate his culture. Yet he - and other Navajos - responded to a call to serve this country that so undervalued his people. He performed extraordinary deeds in the Marines and agreed never to divulge the extent of his service. Amazing.
This account is told simply and in a most straightforward style. The war sections are interesting, but the book also includes a fascinating account of the early years of this Navajo boy and then his years after the war. The combination makes for more than a story for WWII buffs; it's a true American tale.
I for one am so glad that Chester Nez finally decided to tell his story. I learned a lot from this book - I recommend it to others.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Apple Loses If It Beats Itself
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It almost feels like I am feeding you a line: Just a few years ago, Research in Motion (RIMM) dominated the smartphone space.
Back in the day, people were "addicted" to their "CrackBerries." It's insane. Now, RIM even embarrasses Canadians. The former management team looks almost as inept as National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman.
What happened to RIM? Certainly mismanagement happened, but it was more a case of, as my favorite Little League Baseball coach Jon Teaman used to say, Play the ball, don't let the ball play you. The ball played RIM; RIM did not play it.
When Apple (AAPL) launched the original iPhone, it changed the game. Steve Jobs dictated unfamiliar terms. Companies like RIM either did not embrace them ( you don't need an app to surf the Web) or they were simply unable to innovate effectively in some other way.RIM's not the only company to miss. They just missed much worse than everybody else. But, at day's end, in terms of missing the revolutions Apple set into motion, not a whole heck of a lot separates companies such as Intel (INTC) and Microsoft (MSFT) and definitely Dell (DELL) and Hewlett Packard (HPQ) from Research in Motion. Maybe I live an alternative reality, but there's no comparable threat in Apple's headlights -- certainly none of the above. And, who's left? Google (GOOG)? So very weak. Google played its cards already: The company thinks it makes sense to employ a lowball, price war strategy. That will never succeed. How about Amazon.com (AMZN)? You know how much I love Amazon, but (A) they're not dumb enough to compete head-on with Apple and, (B) even if they were ... well, like I said the other day:
When you pick up an iPad mini, it just feels right. Down to the last detail... it's like dashing kisses along a beautiful woman's collarbone on the way to intimate, absolutely perfect ecstasy.
The Kindle Fire ... more like going in to kiss your Grandmother and awkwardly bumping heads because you were going for the cheek and she was going for the lips.If Apple's going to lose, it's going to beat itself. Somebody called me yesterday and asked about the "pay cut" Apple CEO Tim Cook took. The media can't get enough of this non-story. The dude received a freaking $376 million stock award that vests in what is now four and nine years in 2011. He's loaded beyond belief. And, for all of the skepticism -- some likely from inside Apple -- he's probably pretty secure with himself.

MICROLAB® STAR Liquid Handling Workstations
The STAR line workstations are based on superior air displacement pipetting technology. This increases accuracy and repeatability while providing chain of custody with pipette condition monitoring and recording. Each workstation can be configured with multiple arms and each arm can be configured with multiple pipetting and labware gripping devices. Pipetting channels and labware grippers move independently of each other, supporting the use of a wide range of labware. The autoload option provides barcode tracking of samples, labware, racks and carriers. All workstation functions and integrated third-party devices are controlled by the Venus software.
Venus One is the newest software package for the STAR Line. It offers the most intuitive, flexible and powerful programming control. Venus offers all the tools to allow simple to complex programming, without limiting your imagination or compromising your requirements.
Data can be tracked and processed within the application as well as interfaces to internal and external databases, including LIMS. The STAR can serve as a simple pipettor for serial dilutions or act as the center of a large system with multiple workstations and third party devices such incubators, cell counters, centrifuges, etc.

Unique Scalability
Do you want to get started in automation with a benchtop workstation and have the option of expanding your system if needed? The compact STARlet can be converted on-site to a STARplus by means of an extension module, more than doubling your deck capacity. Thanks to the scalability of the STAR line instruments, the widest possible range of throughputs and budgets can be accommodated: additional pipetting channels, a 96 or 384-probe head or an integrated robotic arm can be fitted to existing configurations. It is even possible to add a second pipetting arm working in parallel.

On the Bright Side: Laura and Harry Slatkin's Palm Beach Home
When seeking refuge from the hectic world of high fashion, Laura and Harry Slatkin head to a simple but sophisticated house in Palm Beach where family comes first
By Alastair Gordon
"You walk in the front hall and it's all mirrors," says Slatkin, who loves that he can see himself from several angles while looking out through the other end of the house to another wall of green. For him, that is the moment of decompression, of taking a deep breath and releasing the stresses that come with his hectic work and social lives. "I'm moving all the time," he says. "This is our great escape."
A 19th-century English stool and mirrored paneling in the entry.

The first time i have seen Eric Clapton live without Doyle Brammal and or Deric Trucks at his side. This show is all Eric Clapton and man does he deliver. Eric performes for almost two hours and he does not let down for a second. If it wasn't snowing right now, i would drive to Seattle for tonights show. Enjoy!
[4 of 5 customers found this review helpful]
I've been a Clapton fan since Cream so when I had the chance to see him, I had no choice. Hell, I named my son after him. He played Nashville with Roger Daltry (lead) and special guest Vince Gill on 27.02.10. I wasn't into Gill until he cranked it up. Wow, he and Clapton rocked the house. Eric played for two hours. Only bad thing was the encore (just one song). He didn't play all of his music but it was great. Hope to see him again someday.

Second-guessing of Andrew Luck era still lingers, but shouldn't
After seven games featured in a gauntlet disguised as a schedule, Peyton Manning is putting together one of the best years of his legendary career.
Manning's numbers through eight weeks? First in passer rating (109.0), third in touchdowns (17), fourth in percentage (68.5), first in average yards per pass (8.2), and second in yards per game (301.9). He's not only on pace for his best year since the record-breaker in 2004, but he's also staring down a fifth MVP award.
And then there's the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, Andrew Austen Luck. The fourth quarter wizard, as I have christened him.
His stats may not be Manning-esque, but in only seven games, Luck has two fourth quarter comeback wins and three game-winning drives. These are the stats beyond the stats, and as a result, the Colts are 4-3 and contending for a wild-card berth.
Wait, what?
But even with Luck's outstanding rookie effort, and the fact that he has put together more wins through seven games than Manning did as a rookie with, arguably, a less talented supporting cast, the doubters of the Luck era, or strictly Peyton Manning fans, still linger.
"[The Colts] would be 7-0 with Peyton," said one unnamed Twitter user.
Maybe, but who knows? If Manning stays, this team and staff looks vastly different.
I'll be the first to say that I initially had serious doubts about moving on from #18. Luck was not the end-all, be-all of QBs, as shown by a very strong '12 QB draft class, and Manning had proven that he was making significant strides towards a legitimate comeback. He may have been in the twilight of his illustrious career, but you never shut the door on Peyton Manning. Never.
Just ask the Chargers.
And when the announcement was finally made, and Manning appeared in that final Colts press conference, you could feel a cloud of gloom hovering above Colts Nation. The legend was finished in Indy.
But the Colts weren't.
As a kid, I had grown to love this franchise, mainly because of the 13 brilliant years that were fueled by #18. I had my qualms about a future without the greatest QB of all time, but I was not less of a Colts fan, simply because he was gone. Favorite Colts had left before—Edgerrin James, Marvin Harrison—but the team remained.
As time progressed, the launch of Chuck Pagano's "Build the Monster" era included a clear and refreshing direction for Indy. Manning would ultimately join a team where he would be given his best shot at another ring, and Luck has so far delivered on the prodigy label that was attached to him by every pundit and scout on the face of the Earth—a win-win for everyone.
Manning and Luck will forever be compared, and rightfully so. But as evidenced by the remarkable efforts of both in their own respective way, it's only more evident that this was the right decision.

Been There, Tried That: Fad Diets Throughout the Years
Have you ever eaten grapefruits for long stretches of time in the hopes of dropping some pounds? Sipped on tea incessantly? Or maybe you added cookies to every meal? The things we'll do for a svelter shape! Check out some highly contested fad diets that have hooked people with their promises throughout the years.
Wonder what people in other parts of the world eat to stay happy? Check out the secrets of the Mediterranean diet.
By Sahara Borja
The "Cabbage" Diet
In the 1980s, dieters turned to cabbage to help them shed pounds. Those who followed this diet could eat as much cabbage soup as they wanted for a week (along with a few other low-calorie foods). The goal: drop 10 pounds. Experts believe that pounds lost were primarily water weight, not fat, which means that once dieters returned to their regular diets, most of them regained what they had lost.

Historically, the Smithsonian has studied species in a range of ecosystems with the goal of enhancing knowledge of biodiversity and its role in the healthy functioning of ecosystems for a sustainable planet. The Smithsonian will now also foster interdisciplinary research and harness its institutional power to expand its work and find innovative approaches to global problems that stem from biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation, climate change and human-biosphere interactions. The Consortium will support projects that combine expertise across scientific units and biodiversity disciplines to investigate natural processes and their responses to change.
Smithsonian Grand Challenges Awards—a competitive, internal granting program—advance cross-disciplinary, integrated scholarly efforts across the Institution which relate to the Smithsonian Grand Challenge Understanding and Sustaining a Biodiverse Planet. These awards encourage Smithsonian staff to advance research, as well as broaden access, revitalize education, strengthen collections and encourage new ways of thinking that involve emerging technology.
Grand Challenges grants are awarded through the Smithsonian Consortia at two distinct levels:
Level One grants provide seed money to develop groups around promising concepts. Successful proposals at Level One provide the time and incentive for individuals with common interests to meet and crystallize ideas for major interdisciplinary/pan-Institutional projects. These projects are intended to be short in duration (6-12 months) and focused in purpose, such as support for arranging seminars, workshops, meetings, and brown-bag lunches.
Level Two grants are larger and aimed at maturing groups poised to confront relevant issues and prepared to secure external funding. Applicants apply for Level Two funding to conduct preliminary experiments, write a position paper, explore the design of an exhibition, conduct preparatory work for a major project or produce other evidence of scholarly capacity that is deemed essential for external competition. Successful proposals at Level Two provide a group that has defined a common goal with the resources they need to establish themselves as credible competitors for external funding. Applicants for Level Two funding may already have a collaborative history or may be building on the outcome of a successful Level One process.

Applications are currently being accepted from nonprofit art and cultural organizations in the state of Colorado to help fund arts or cultural events, projects, or programs taking place in Grand Junction, March 2013-March 2014.
Grant funding is made possible by the City of Grand Junction's Commission on Arts and Culture (GJCAC). The city supports the efforts of this grant program to encourage jobs, education, and performance opportunities for local working artists of all types and those who work for cultural nonprofits.
"We are very fortunate to have city leaders and a community that values the arts for everyone," said Gisela Flanigan, chair of the GJCAC. "A thriving cultural environment promotes quality of life and is an important economic engine for the community."
In 2012, the grant program funded 22 organizations for a total of $43,300. Brand new programs comprised one-quarter of the awards. The grant panel looks for innovative ideas and collaborations which provide fresh ways to incorporate the arts into daily life.
Some examples of programs funded: The Center for Independence brought in Michael McCullough from Firehouse Sculpture to offer a clay sculpture workshop for people with disabilities. Catholic Outreach held the "Art in Transition" project which allowed the residents of St. Martin Place to experience therapeutic art expression to help them on their journey to heal from homelessness.
Several previous grants awarded focused on bringing cultural arts to school-aged children such as the Bookcliff Barbershop Harmony Chorus "Youth in Harmony" project, Super Rad Art Jam High School exhibit at Mesa Mall, Riverside Educational Center "Look What I Did" after-school art program, Talking Rhythms Musicians in Residence program, Chipeta Elementary "Young Artists" program, The Art Center's Spring Art Week, and more.
Large-scale events have also been awarded funds, like the Grand Valley Performing Arts Festival, the Art and Jazz Festival, Poetry in the Streets, the Calabash Gourd Festival, the Rockies West National Watercolor Exhibition, the Western Colorado Chorale, and more.
