Have you ever wondered what would happen if you met Mary Poppins or Dr Evil of Austin Powers fame and they tried to chat you up? Well, we have. This is why we decided to see what would happen when the two worlds – the real world and the world of famous fictional characters – collide.
Our social experiment employed some of the most iconic catchphrases, including the Terminator's smooth "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle" and E.T.'s cheeky "You might need to phone home and tell your mum you won't be in tonight." Our latest Twoo.com users included the following:
The Terminator (The Terminator)
Dorothy Gale (Wizard of Oz)
Mrs. Robinson (The Graduate)
Mary Poppins (Mary Poppins)
Karen Smith (Mean Girls)
Dr. Evil (Austin Powers)
After that, the ball was in the users' court. We actually found that the characters' charms withstood the test of time and some of the users were really smitten by the classic lines. For example, Mrs. Robinson's advances went down a storm with Twoo.com users:
QueenCougar: My husband won't be home for hours…
Guy: Oh really? Tell me more!
QueenCougar: I find you very attractive
Guy: Oh, I get that a lot, hehe.
QueenCougar: Would you like me to seduce you?
Some of the users, on the other hand, were humoured by the familiar lines:
Practically_Perfect: You know, I know my way around some very tricky words, like Supercallifragilisticexpialidocious.
Guy: Interesting. Do you have any other interesting talents?
Practically_Perfect: Well, in every job that must be done, there is an element of fun…
Guy: Oh yeah, and, how does one go about getting one of these 'jobs' done?
Practically_Perfect: Well, It takes more than a spoonful of sugar to make me go down…
The results surpassed our expectations and we saw a lot of chemistry and banter. This also helped us identify some of the best and cheesiest chat up lines that, believe it or not, work! For example, "There's a 30% chance we're already dating" is guaranteed to get you a speedy response. "You might need to phone home and tell your mum you won't be in tonight" on the other hand, will get a few giggles out of your conversation partner."
The experiment found that out of seven film characters, Dorothy Gale had the most success. Her smooth delivery combined with just the right amount of cheesy phrases and humour resulted in the highest engagement rates. We all know to be ourselves when meeting new people, but maybe there's a thing or two we can learn from our favourite fictional heroes. Check out even more awesome movie character pick up lines below.
Team Twoo
As you already know, we're a curious bunch here at Twoo.com. We love finding out about what makes you tick when it comes to meeting new people. Part of the reason we are so curious is that we want to perfect the art of connecting you with those who are just your type.
As part of our research into this subject, we set out to find out which city in the UK is the pickiest and which city is home to those who 'swipe right' more. After some serious number crunching we came to the conclusion that Liverpool has the lowest standards when searching to meet someone new via Twoo's app or website.
Liverpudlian men and women are 24% and 80% (respectively) more likely to say yes to someone and 'swipe right' than the national average, making chances of finding a match through a social networking app in Liverpool the highest in the UK. Men from Cardiff & Edinburgh are the pickiest, as they are 30% less likely to say yes than the UK average. Meanwhile, women from Bristol and Manchester have a more selective taste, being 60% less likely to say yes than the UK average.
Top 10 UK cities places where you are most likely to get a match (highest to lowest):
This study also highlights the best times to maximise the chances of finding your next date. British women are most likely to swipe right in the early hours of the morning between 3am – 6am; however, be warned as between 5pm – 7pm they are at their pickiest. During their lunch breaks, around 12.30pm – 2pm is when men swipe right the most, but, like women, they are pickier from 5pm – 7pm.
Interestingly, compared to the rest of Europe, British girls are 65% less likely to swipe right than French, and 71% less likely than Austrian. There's good news if Mr Darcy is your type though, as British bachelors are more likely to say yes than Spanish, German and Dutch men. However, French and British men have similar preferences and are likely to say yes to someone new at the same rate.
If these numbers and percentages are anything to go by, it appears that you have the best chance of finding a match in Liverpool. However, don't pack your bags just yet, as here at Twoo.com we are working hard at ensuring you meet some interesting people, regardless of your geographical location.
Team Twoo
Here at Twoo we are very excited about Christmas. All the parties, gatherings and dinners are a perfect occasion to meet someone new or a great opportunity to introduce your friends to the special someone you met on Twoo.
One of our favourite traditions is, of course, a cheeky kiss under the mistletoe. This herb has had a long history before finally becoming a Christmas decoration in the 18th century. The kissing tradition appears to have originated in England but it has since spread all across Europe and beyond.
As it's the season to spread cheer and joy, we decided to do just that – and learn a thing or two along the way. You already know how passionate we are about the science and numbers behind attraction and human interest, so we decided to spice up our social experiment by turning it into a bit of a competition between our two brave users, Emma, 22, and Tom, 26.
We decided to find out once and for all who wins the battle of sexes when it comes to a festive mistletoe kiss-off. Armed with a GoPro and a mistletoe attached to Santa's hat, we unleashed Emma and Tom onto the streets of central London to see if they can spread some Christmas cheer and score some smooches.
Our social experiment took place in Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square on a grey Monday afternoon, but even the gloomy British weather wasn't enough to discourage these brave romantics. Emma and Tom set out to wish passers by a Merry Christmas and bag a kiss or two, in hope that 'tis the season for romance.
By the end of the experiment Emma came out as a clear-cut winner, with a total of 18 festive kisses, whereas Tom found the experiment to be a bit more of a challenge. As it turns out, the ladies in London are a lot frostier than men when it comes to sharing a kiss under the mistletoe. In the end, Tom managed to score nine smooches, but it wasn't without a lot of kiss dodges, confused looks and awkward giggles.
Interestingly, the experiment found that Londoners are more adventurous when in groups, which applies to both sexes. The guys were more up for a kiss when their friends were there and encouraging them to plant a kiss on Emma's cheek. Girls were also more up for a quick smooch under the mistletoe when they were with their friends. In fact, Tom's score shot up after a group of girls encircled him and then went for a kiss.
So there you have it! Watch the full video for the full mistletoe kiss-off experiment and don't forget to have a very Merry Christmas!
Team Twoo.
Here at Twoo, nothing makes us happier than making sure you meet great people. However, there's no rest for the wicked and we always try to perfect the way we work our magic.
It's the algorithms, the nuts and bolts of Twoo, that are the reason you stumble upon brilliant people who have so much in common with you. They say don't fix it unless it's broke, but we think there's always room for improvement.
Questions & Answers
Our latest goal was to create a more interesting Questions & Answers experience. Your profile has been given a bit of a facelift and the Q&A section has been replaced with a new one, offering one question at a time and featuring the ones you've already answered. There will be four easy parts to every question:
Don't worry, it won't get boring, as we have questions about ethics, dating, lifestyle, sex, religion and so much more.
We understand that there might be some answers you want to keep private, so we made sure that's also an option. Those answers will be for your eyes only, as well as our machines to work some algorithm magic.
The way you'll see other users' profiles will also change a little bit. Their profiles will list the number of questions they've answered and the number of answered questions you have in common. This will allow you to see how well your answers match.
Matching system
Why the changes, you might ask? Well, the whole idea of this revamped Q&A approach is to make our matching system smarter. We focus on three values that are collected from the answers on your profile:
These three values will determine your match percentage with other Twoo users. To further explain how matching works, let's take two random Twoo users, Tom and Sophie. Tom and Sophie have answered 2 questions on Twoo:
You're dating someone you really like. How long will it take before you have sex?
Your partner cheated on you one drunken night. Could you forgive him/her?
Tom's answers:
Sophie's answers:
Calculating the match
This is the information that allows us to calculate the match. After that, it's all number crunching. All the maths magic is done by our computers, which means that there is zero bias and we don't even have to get our calculators out. All we have to do for our computers to process the information in a language that's digestible for them is to assign numerical values to preferences such as "somewhat important" and "very important." For this, we use the following scale:
These are the values we'll use to give our calculations the right 'weight' when looking at how satisfactory your answers are according to other users' preferences. In this imaginary scenario Tom and Sophie's match percentage is determined by their answers to the following two questions:
How happy is Tom with Sophie's answers?
Tom indicated that Sophie's answer to the first question was very important to him, whereas her answer to the second question was not that important. So, the first question scored 50 'importance points' and the second one scored 10 points. Out of those 60 points, Sophie earned 10 by answering the second question how Tom would want her to. This leads us to conclude that Sophie's answers were 10/60 = 17% satisfactory.
How happy is Sophie with Tom's answers?
Sophie assigned 1 'importance point' to Tom's answer to the first question and 50 to his answer to the second question. Out of those 51 points Tom earned 50. Similarly to the previous calculation, we can conclude that Tom's answers were 50/51 = 98% satisfactory.
Once all that number crunching is done and dusted, we have to do one fairly simple equation. To get the final match percentage for Tom and Sophie, we just multiply their satisfactions and then calculate the square root: sqrt (17% * 98%) = 34%.
We understand that not everyone is a fan of calculations and maths, so we apologise for overwhelming you with numbers. However, rest assured that the complexity of all these equations ensures that the matches are as accurate as possible. At the end of the day, behind all the maths and algorithms is a very simple goal. We want you to meet more people who float your boat, even if that means we have to make some waves happen.
P.S. Check out our visual Q&A explanation below, made just for you!
Twoo investigates the popularity of facial hair.
In response to Movember, social discovery site Twoo has conducted a survey, which shows what men and women really think about unshaven chins and upper lips. And guess what? People are not really in favour of moustaches and facial hair. An overwhelming majority of Belgians (55%) consider moustaches to be unattractive. Only 16.3% of Belgians like moustaches. On the other hand, beards scored slightly better: 28% of Belgians think that a beard is okay. The Movember Foundation challenges men to grow a moustache throughout November. Their goal is to stimulate discussion, raise awareness and gather funds for health programs for men. It is also a perfect opportunity to find out what men and women actually think about moustaches and beards. What is immediately striking, is that the vast majority of Belgians (55%) do not like moustaches. Belgian women, in particular, are not so fond of them. No less than 60% of Belgian women do not like men with a moustache at all, and almost 5% find it simply unsanitary. Among Belgian men, only one in five consider moustaches to be cool and sexy. Beards have a slightly better result amongst both men and women. A quarter of the surveyed Belgian ladies find beards to be hot. For men, the result reaches 32%.
The rest of Europe
And what about our neighbours? Out of all the surveyed countries (Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany and the United Kingdom) Germany is the one in which beards and moustaches are the most popular. One in three Germans find men with a moustache to be cool, and 41% of our German neighbours like beards. There seems to be quite a difference in taste when compared to the Netherlands. Out of all the surveyed countries, the Netherlands have shown the least enthusiasm for facial hair. More than 57% of Dutch citizens think that moustaches are not attractive or find them unsanitary.
The Movember Foundation encourages all women to support men in their participation in the event; however, it seems that there is still some work to be done. Overall, it doesn't matter whether you prefer men with a beard, a moustache, both or just clean shaved – you can meet all kinds of interesting people on Twoo.
If you've ever had a dry spell in your dating history, chances are that at some point your mind turned to your friends – after all, you know they already like you and there's no need for small talk, so… why not? If it works out, it could be great! But of course, if things don't pan out, you risk changing (or even ending) your friendship by taking things to the next level.
There must, you're thinking, be another way.
There is. It's called 'Friends With Benefits'. You and a pal get all the perks of a physical relationship with none of the complications that come with emotional ties. But how do you broach the subject? And how do you ensure that your involvement stays at the right level? Most of these arrangements, quite sensibly, have a set of rules that both parties agree to, to make sure there are no misunderstandings along the way. And so, with our tongues planted firmly in our cheeks, we've created the Twoo 'Friends with Benefits' Contract to make things easy for you.
Simply enter your name and the name of the friend whose (ahem) benefits you'd like to (ahem) receive, and your contract is ready to go – click to share it on your social network of choice, and make your arrangement official today!
Good luck and have fun!
Team Twoo.
So, you might have noticed that there's some kind of football tournament going on at the moment. Depending on which team you support, you might have already experienced all the excitement, tension, disappointment and misery that you can handle. For Twoo HQ, located in Belgium, the World Cup has so far been a stirring success, with our last match against the US being among the best games we've seen so far. In an attempt to stop us biting our nails ahead of the next game against (gulp) Argentina, we thought we'd blow off some steam by looking into how the World Cup is affecting the people on our site.
We want our users to enjoy their online experience to the utmost, and we're always looking for ways to connect them together, carefully checking our statistics to make sure that we're able to advise Twoo members on when they'll have the best chance of finding an online match. Why should the World Cup be any different? So, taking a couple of Belgium games as our examples, we thought we'd see what patterns (if any) we could find so that you don't miss out!
Belgium 2 – 1 Algeria
Our opening game showed a trend that has continued throughout the tournament – in general, peak use of Twoo comes during half-time, which is exactly what you'd expect to find. While Belgian users dropped back offline once the second half had begun, only gradually returning to normal levels after the game had finished (presumably too busy out celebrating), it's interesting to note the behaviour of our Algerian members: they started to come back online throughout the second half, perhaps reflecting a growing lack of interest as the game slipped out of their hands.
There were also noticeable differences between how Belgian men and women used the site during the match. Men were clearly more invested in the game, as shown by the sharp drops during the periods of play. Women, however, seemed to slowly drift away from Twoo during the first half, becoming much more invested in the game as it went on – which suggests that our female users maybe weren't prepared to watch the full 90 minutes, but became more involved as the final result approached.
Belgium 1 – 0 South Korea
Next, we took a look at the third group match between Belgium and South Korea. By this point in the tournament, both men and women in Belgium were watching the game, showing a rise in female interest since the Algeria match. And the respective countries? Well, the trend for activity on Twoo to spike during half-time continued in both lands. As with the Algerian game, South Koreans bounced back online before the match was over, while Belgian users took over an hour to return to the site (yet more celebrating?).
This leads us rather neatly to our conclusions: what opportunities does the World Cup present for Twoo members?
First things first: half-time is the perfect time to connect with other users the world over (although of course you'll need to bear in mind their nationality to see how happy or sad they'll be!), as it's the time during the game that the most people are logging on. Also, it's pretty clear that if your team is losing, you're likely to find more and more of your countrymen/women sharing their sorrow on Twoo as the game goes on – and it would be nice to think that something good can come out of even the worst result… so maybe think about getting online and offering a shoulder to cry on!
Clearly neither sex needs to be too worried about talking about football during the tournament, although women may be less interested than men. And it makes sense to check people's level of interest for another reason – between 20% and 30% of our users told us that they wouldn't be watching any of the World Cup at all. However, our male members should consider this: being online on Twoo during the first half of a game means that you'll be one of a select handful of men who are actually available to chat – allowing you to massively improve your chances of being noticed in our usually bustling community!
Finally, whether your team is still in the running or not, we wish you the very best during this summer of sporting excellence. Just remember, not all goals revolve around a pitch!
Team Twoo
You'd think that being an in-demand beauty queen would mean that you'd have your pick of the world's men, right? Think again. Take the case of Tamara Cserháti, Miss World Hungary 2012, who ended a five-year relationship last year and then spent the next eight months trapped in singledom. With a schedule planned out months in advance, and jobs both in Hungary and abroad, she found herself in the curious position of being a famed beauty with no time to meet new people. Finally, she turned to the internet to widen her social network after a friend recommended Twoo. Having never used a social site before, Tamara wanted the chance to get to know potential matches in a safe, mobile environment – which, as you'll know by now, is exactly what we provide!
Speaking to us back in February, Tamara explained: "It may sound strange that as a beauty queen I have registered on a site to meet new people, but with such a fast-paced lifestyle this is my best chance to find a man who suits me. I only have a little free time, so I am rarely able to go out."
The beauty queen had very definite ideas about her priorities when searching for a partner on Twoo: "I'm looking for someone with a good sense of humour, who can make me laugh but is smart at the same time, so we can talk about everything. He should be trustworthy under all circumstances, so that I can feel safe with him. Based on my experiences, I get along best with calm, even-tempered men, so this is also an important aspect of my search. I'm actively using the site now, so I've already got a lot of messages, but of course I'm also browsing profiles. I didn't know that so many handsome men were single!"
So, how did Tamara get on? We checked in with our lovely celebrity user a month later, and found that she had just been on her first date in over half a year. "I remember the weekend when I was browsing the site and this guy dropped me a message. I checked his photos and because I found him interesting, I replied to him immediately. Later it developed into a several-hour-long conversation and as we do not believe in chatting exclusively online, we decided to meet in person," she told us.
The lucky gentleman in question was Krisztián, a salesman who had ended his own five-year relationship a couple of months before. With this common ground between them, the two quickly hit it off, leading to a first date at a bowling alley. Between matches, the couple followed up on their online conversations.
After some initial worry that they wouldn't have chemistry in real life, Tamara was pleased to find that Krisztián was every bit the man he had appeared to be – funny, confident and gentle. "I was a little bit stressed at the beginning," Tamara explained, "but his humour made me feel more comfortable. I think we made a good decision to go bowling instead of to a café – it was more direct."
But what about the future? Well, we're happy to report that both Tamara and Krisztián hoped to meet up again. "We won't be disappointed if it doesn't turn out to be true love, though", Tamara said. "Even if it develops into a good friendship, it was worth registering on Twoo!"
With such celebrity endorsements still ringing in our ears, we hope that you'll follow the example that Tamara and Krisztián have provided – just get chatting and see where it leads. And however you use Twoo, remember to have fun!
Team Twoo
Social discovery site Twoo.com is celebrating its third birthday this week. In these few years it has experienced dramatic growth. What started off as a small start-up in Ghent, Belgium has evolved into a company that is active in over 200 countries and 38 languages. And its ambitions remain sky-high.
Twoo.com was launched in April 2011. The idea was to create a social network where people can get to know each other in a fun, relaxed way and in a safe environment. Users can like each other based on photos and preferences. If two people like each other, they are a match.
11.9 million unique visitors
The concept proved to be an instant hit, as only 18 months after its launch Twoo became the number 1 site in the world in its category (Personals, comScore December 2012). "What sets Twoo apart from other social discovery sites is that it's free to use, it uses innovative matchmaking algorithms and has an enormous number of active and genuine members. In January, for example, 11.9 million people logged in to Twoo. However, that is no reason to relax our efforts. We closely follow the latest trends and update the site every week, ranging from minor details to exciting new features. Moreover, we listen carefully to our users' feedback to finetune Twoo continuously.", CEO Lorenz Bogaert explains.
Twoo goes global
Twoo.com is currently available in 38 languages and operates in over 200 countries, but the goal is to continue to grow, especially internationally. "We are very proud to have reached the milestone of 50 million users. The hard work of our team to create an attractive and safe platform where people can meet each other freely is paying off. On to the next 50 million!", Lorenz Bogaert concludes.
Last Christmas – along with all the perfume, books, clothes, toys and media devices – there were a lot of good intentions under the tree. Several months later, we thought the time was right to poll more than 2,000 of our Belgian users about their new year's resolutions for 2014. Did they stick to them? Are they healthier, better people? Or have they abandoned their good intentions and gone back to their bad habits? Let's dig into their answers and find out.
Best laid plans…
38% of Belgians surveyed claimed that they had made at least some plans for the new year. The holiday season might be the traditional time for giving and sharing, but when it comes to self-improvement, 37% of people said that they thought of themselves first. And singles (38%) made more resolutions than people in a relationship (35%), which perhaps suggests that if you're settled down you're less motivated to change. Just remember not to get stuck in a rut, people!
Popular resolutions for 2014 included taking more exercise (24%), losing weight (13%) and giving up smoking (11%). Socialising also got a boost in the new year, with 22% of our Belgian users hoping to make new friends and go out more. And of those with room in their hearts for further ambition, 9% stated that they wanted to spend more time with their families, while 6% were angling for a new job or a promotion this year. All lofty goals…
A trouble shared is a trouble halved?
But how did they fare? Surprisingly, women took the lead in ditching their resolutions, with just 10% staying the course compared to 19% of men. As these figures show when taken together, very few of our Belgian friends actually followed through with their plans over the long-term. So, how can you improve your odds?
Our results show that sharing your intentions may be the key to success, helping to keep you honest when you might otherwise be tempted to quit. Many of our Belgian respondents opted to do just that, with 38% involving their friends and 32% relying on their partners. There's clearly nothing so challenging that a support group can't help you with it!
The wisdom of age
You also stand a better chance of sticking to your guns as you mature. Perseverance apparently comes with age, as the over-50s proved themselves the most unwavering (16%). This may reflect the fact that age brings perspective – the older you are, the more realistic your intentions become (or maybe it's just stubbornness!). Of course, another surefire method of sticking to your goals is to cheat when setting them; one in three of our Belgian respondents shamelessly admitted to choosing easy resolutions that they knew they could keep!
Whatever you decided to change last New Year's Eve, we hope that our survey will give you some ideas for making sure you live up to your resolutions of 2014. And if you need a friend to use as a crutch, why not check out people in your neighbourhood on Twoo? With over 8,000 matches made every single day, it's the fun and easy way to get to know new pals. So you'll have even less excuse to fail next year. Right? Right.
Have fun and stay strong,
Team Twoo

(Updates to add investments in third paragraph.)
Nov. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Peru is targeting $20.5 billion in infrastructure investment during the next five years including 7,000 kilometers of roads, two railways and an international airport, Transport Minister Carlos Paredes said.
The government is seeking investors for the projects, which are designed to support economic growth and ease poverty in the Andean nation, Paredes said today in en e-mailed statement.
About $11 billion will be spent on roads in Peru's jungle and mountain regions, with the aim of having 85 percent of the country's road network paved by 2016, Paredes said. A $5.3 billion railway will be built to link mining areas in the northern Andes with sea port of Bayovar. In the southern Andes, a $3 billion rail link will run between Andahuaylas and the San Juan de Marcona port to be built on the Pacific coast.
"We're a country that requires investment to keep growing at fast rates, and that's the only way out of poverty," Finance Minister Miguel Castilla said today in an e-mailed statement. Peru will grow close to 7 percent this year, after expanding 8.8 percent in 2010, he said.
The Chincheros airport will be built in Cuzco at a cost of $450 million while $300 million will be spent on sea and river ports, Paredes said. Telecommunications projects over the next five years total $376 million, he said.
President Ollanta Humala, who took office July 28, is targeting infrastructure investments to spur exports of minerals and agricultural produce and help keep Peru's annual growth rate above 6 percent economy during the next five years.

Oh, that's nice, John! Cross your fingers that it holds it and that new leaves have more--you could make your fortune (or grow a very pretty plant that no one else has!) Are you looking, Randy English? |
Mine get a few patches like that from time to time, usually with just different shades of darker green. It comes and goes and is always just a tiny spot, like yours. |
Mine also get the darker green patches on occassion. I've never noticed white. |

Any more variegation? |

I always find it fascinating how a light patch of unexpected variegation is so often accompanied by a patch that is DARKER than the base color of the plant. I always think of different colored paint pigments standing up and walking to opposite corners or something. LOL. Of course, there is nothing like paint pigment involved in the process but I still find it very curious. |

On September 23, 2014 Tuesday evening, members of the Sinclair Baseball team put in time and effort to drive to the Community Blood Center to donate blood.
Every year Coach Stephen Dinatman takes his players to donate blood at the local blood donation center. This annual event has a lot of impact on patients in the Dayton area, and had the 2014 defending OCCAC regular season champions doing more than just playing baseball, they were hitting homeruns in many positive ways.
"I will also do a blood drive and encourage my players to save lives and to be lifetime blood donors. It's important to educate people on the process of donating and how important it is to a community. Their donations could help save a stranger, a friend, or a family members life, and hopefully if they needed blood, someone would do the same for them," said Coach Dintaman.
It is estimated that each person can save 3 lives with just one donation. Millions of patients need blood transfusions each year in the U.S. and Canada, and someone needs blood every two to three seconds which is one reason why this issue hits so close to home with Coach Dintaman.
"It's a nice feeling to leave here knowing that you helped save three lives. It's great if you can step up to the plate – no pun intended," said Dintaman.
In 2007, an all-conference pitcher underwent a by tonsillectomy during the summer and was fighting for his life. During repairs to the artery his carotid artery was nicked and he nearly bled to death on two separate occasions. Coach Dinatman has understood the critical conditions that occurred, and the importance of blood donation after watching his player recover.
Fall is a very busy season with practice games, scouting and also weightlifting. It is rare for the team to have Tuesdays off, but it was a great day to spend at the Community Blood Center.
The 20 players who donated blood were Mason Aelker, Austin Eads, Zach Griffin, Ben Myers, Travis Rowland, Daniel Sexton, Jordan Allen, Andrew Holderman, Connor Clearly, Eric Hansman, Daniel O'Keefe, Alec Turner, Will Marable, Ty Amann, Tyler Cowles, Alex Youn, Keenan Carter, Billy Kidd, Kyle Sheperd and Adante Warren.
This wasn't just a regular Tuesday for our Tartans, because many lives were not only changed but also saved.

Jury: Roger Clemens Not Guilty Of Perjury
Baseball great Roger Clemens was acquitted on Monday of all charges in the government's six-count perjury case against him. He had been accused of lying to Congress in 2008 when he denied using performance enhancing drugs. The verdict is the latest blow to prosecutors' efforts to pursue illicit drug use cases against athletes.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.
And I'm Linda Wertheimer.
A federal jury has acquitted baseball pitching ace Roger Clemens on all charges. The jury found Clemens not guilty of lying to Congress and of obstructing a congressional investigation into performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg was in the courtroom. She has this report.
NINA TOTENBERG, BYLINE: Seven Cy Young awards, six not guilty verdicts. Those words summarize Roger Clemens career and the aftermath. Inside the courtroom, it was all over quickly on Monday and Clemens emerged, appearing calm as he thanked his family and friends. Only when he referred to his career, did he suddenly lose his composure. For about 30 seconds, he fought back tears and then said:
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: Does it feel better than winning a ballgame?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: Do you regret of doing things...
ROGER CLEMENS: I put a lot of hard work into that career. And so, again, I appreciate my teammates that came in and all the emails and phone calls from my teammates. So thank y'all very much.
TOTENBERG: Inside the courtroom moments earlier, Clemens family sat grim faced as the jury filed in. His four sons held hands tightly as the foreman read the verdicts in each of the six counts. At the last not guilty, the boys began to weep. Soon the entire family clutched each other in a huddled bear hug. Defense lawyer Rusty Hardin said afterwards that Clemens crime had been that he refused to admit to something he had not done.
Clemens has steadfastly denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs, a denial he made under oath to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The committee, which had aggressively pursued its investigation of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball, didn't believe him and referred his testimony to the Justice Department, which brought criminal charges against Clemens.
The lynchpin of the government's case was the testimony of Clemens' one-time strength coach Brian McNamee, who testified that he repeatedly injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone over a three year period. But McNamee's testimony was contradicted on a variety of points by a variety of witnesses, including his estranged wife. And the former head of security for the New York Yankees told the jury that the one-time Yankee strength coach should not be believed, that his credibility was, quote, "zero."
The jury of eight women and four men delivered its verdict after deliberating for 10 hours, a relatively short time, given the nine-week length of the trial. Indeed, Clemens' lawyers had told him not expect a verdict on Monday, and he was working out with his sons several miles from the courthouse when word came that the jury had reached a verdict.
For Clemens, the verdict was as close to exoneration as a public figure can get in a case like this. And it will likely mean that the pitching star known as the Rocket will one day be admitted to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
For the Justice Department, though, it was the second time in three weeks that the government has lost a high profile prosecution. Earlier this month, a jury in North Carolina acquitted former senator and vice presidential candidate John Edwards of one felony count and deadlocked on other charges that he had violated federal campaign laws in an effort to hide from the public an extramarital affair and illegitimate child. The Justice Department quickly announced it would not retry Edwards.
There had been widespread doubts expressed about bringing charges in both cases. The Edwards case was premised on a legal theory never used before. And critics of the Clemens case wondered aloud about the wisdom of spending considerable government resources on a case with such paltry evidence.
The criminal probe of the use of steroids in baseball began in the Bush administration with the prosecution of baseball slugger Barry Bonds. Three years later, he was convicted of just one count of obstruction, and the jury failed to reach a verdict on the other three charges. Bonds was sentenced to just 30 days of house arrest.

Since the beginning of the year, the German feuilletons have been probing the relationship between architecture and morality. Their interest was kindled by the publication of Deyan Sudjic's book "The Edifice Complex: How the Rich and Powerful Shape the World", which came out in 2006, and examines the role of European architects in non-democratic states such as China and Libya.

Giving a call for ensuring freedom of press in West Asia, the World Newspaper Congress and World Editors Forum have cautioned that people's aspirations for freedom will come out through "unanticipated" channels if traditional media is curtailed.
President of global media organisation WAN-INFRA, Jacob Mathew said the changes taking place in the Arab world prove that if traditional media are put under tethers, aspirations for freedom would get expressed through unanticipated channels.
"The media is undergoing rapid changes in the tablet age, the media should make use of all possibilities of the digital world to gather news. Newspapers which have the strength to face the challenges of the technological revolution would continue to be relevant," Mr. Mathew said.
Mr. Mathew said people have more trust in newspapers than in any other news media. "Even today, 180 crore people are connected to the world of news through newspapers. This is 20 per cent more than the consumers of internet," he said.
The WAN-INFRA also presented its 'Golden Pen of Freedom Award-2011' to Dawit Isaak, who has been in jail since ten years in Eritrea. His brother Esayas collected the award on behalf of Mr. Isaak.

I guess they did get rid of it, maybe as a result of that lawsuit where they were basically forcing people to buy it.

French industrial output declined in March as warmer weather led to a drop in demand for electricity and gas for heating.
Output from factories, mines and power plants fell 0.9 percent from February, when it rose 0.3 percent, national statistics office Insee said in an e-mailed statement today. Economists forecast a drop of 0.6 percent, according to the median of 19 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey.
Manufacturing production climbed 1.4 percent, the first increase this year, amid concern about France's ability to revive growth in the face of a deepening euro-area recession. Socialist Francois Hollande, who will be sworn-in as president next week, said that boosting French output will be one of his priorities for the next five years.
"On the manufacturing front, a very modest increase can be seen following a weak beginning in the first quarter," said Pierre-Olivier Beffy, chief economist at Exane BNP Paribas in London. "The overall manufacturing trend remains weak."

Hey everyone! I have a problem. My Zebrina plant is needing to be potted into a bigger pot. However there are smaller plants growing next to the mother plant and they all are connected to the root ball which is really huge. The only way to seperate them would be to literally get a saw and cut through the root ball. Would this hurt the plants if I did this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
That is basically how you propagate bananas... The damage is minor as long as each plant has some roots and they rebound fast. Protect the pups until they begin to put out new leaves.... |

1. Offense and arrogance don't fit well with criticism. I can't understand why are you so worried with Brazil, its resources and Brazilian people, if they don't matter for yourselves. PT,Lula are our business not yours.
2. Arrogance and offense is used here to say that politicians will rob all money produced by oil exploration. Even so, this is of our interest too, nobody else.
3. We deserve respect , a kind of attitude that is unknown for you.
4. Bi73: you're doing the good job. I'm pleased to read you!
Hi bird73,
I first arrived here in 1990 so I do remember some of what you mentioned. Collor had just taken office. I remember Zélia Cardoso and frozen bank accounts. I remember inflation. I was not here for the impeachment but returned in 1995 with FHC and the Plano Real. We have a man in our city that had been jailed and beaten during the military rule. He was never normal after that and we see him, mendigo on the street and he is a reminder of those times.
If Brazil has to compete with Asia, we still have some work. However, I'm not sure that Brasil has to compete with Asia to be successful. The fluctuation of the dollar is also makes business here more complicated. And I will be happy when Brasil's interest rates are much lower. Both to decrease what the government spends and because interest charges are still too big a part of the cost of products here. And since I was here when FHC had the central bank interest rates at 19%, I understand this, also, is improving.
As to hiring PF as proof that PT does not take commissions, that I don't agree. We have seen the menslão, the "business success" of Lula's son. Like you, one of the next changes I hope to see will be that politicians actually go to prison. The only time I saw this was the house arrest of P. C. Farías which did not end well.
The authors here have some disagreements but we are all hoping your optimism will come true. No matter what, I agree that Brasil is much farther ahead than 20 years ago. Only time will tell how much farther Brasil will go.
20 years ago Brazil was just leaving military rule, with inflation at 40% a month. The changes are remarkable. Quality changes, governance changes. The ability to gather around in a project for the country (that's why Lula is just a continuation of FHC) and keep it steady. The realization that monetary and fiscal responsibility is not a crazy concept. The realization that it is time to put an end to our external accounts vulnerabilities (they are history now!), etc.
I don't even know how to answer your questions because they take into account a very, very simplistic view of the Brazilian society and its evolution.
Ponder this: Lula hired 7000 new agents at the Federal Police and turned it from ragtags to a powerful law enforcement agency. Basically all our anti-corruption efforts pass through the Federal Police. I just heard 5000 new agents will be hired next year. If you are planning to steal, you would just keep the FP as it always were. Now, the problem is the judiciary and the penal process. The Federal Police arrests hundreds of corrupt officials, makes dozens of raids and "operations", but lawyers can keep them away from jail.
Lula can not be re-elected in 2010. He chose, by himself, not to pursue a change in the Constitution that would allow him a 3rd term. His words: "we don't play with democracy".
Most probably, who will use the money will be the opposition, since PT does not have a strong candidate so far... I think it is good time for the opposition to come back. But I do not think our policies will be any different.
Your 4th question would demand a book to be answered... and a good one.
Bird73,it is just a matter of taking criticism like a Man not like a whiny child. Leon, "ame-o or deixe-o" was the moto the military dictatorship used to justify sending people who disagreed with them to exile. Sounds like Nilson's talk doesn't it. And thank for putting back the discussion on track.
Nilson Brasil,
I have ridden on Embraer planes in the US.
Brasil is recognized as the leader in Flex technology.
I see Brasil's engineering and manufacturing abilities.
The question is not whether Brasil can drill deeper than anyone before.
The question is not whether Brasil can now do the refining.
The question is not whether the wealth from the oil should be used for all Brasilians.
The questions are:
1) Would Lula / PT use the money from oil wisely and without stealing?
2) Is there any Brasilian party who would not take a commission from the oil?
3) What politician do you like and think has never and would never take a commission?
4) Brasil is as old as the US / Canada / Australia – what has kept Brasil from being first world all of these years and what is changing now?
All answers are welcome.
Jbergch, Nilson Brasil, Bird73,
I never heard the "ame-o ou deixe-o" for Brasil. It was common in the US during the Vietnam war when conservatives would say that to the protestors.
Nilson – If you want to have a discussion of the faults of the US, that is another discussion which I expect I might say more than you. As a start, see my comments to jbergch August 30 /13:08 about two of the faults of the US and capitalism. But that is another topic and feel free to begin that discussion. On the other hand, this topic is Brasil and the changes PT wants to make to the tax laws regarding oil.
There is no question that Brasil is making progress. I think a lot of the strong economy right now comes from being able to finance buying cars, houses, etc., a result of the Plano Real. So the question is it enough progress to move Brasil to be a first world country? We all know Brasil's faults and have known them for many years but the faults don't get fixed. Bird73 says it will be different this time. I hope he is right. And if oil is to be part of the solution, will Brasil be more like Norway or more like Venezuela?
In addition, my experience with the PT makes me think there will be progress with the oil money if the PT is running Brasil but less progress than possible.
I also believe it is more difficult to have a conversation on the Internet. It is easier face-to-face because we can immediately question and clarify misunderstandings. It is also easier be more aggressive on the Internet than we might be if face-to-face.
The thing is that when you talk, you want to make it look like as if we were an exception. Sort of a unique place on Earth, where things can only be wrong.
Complex of inferiority is when you don't fight back when someone says such stupid things. When you simply accept it.
You see, my definition of pathetic is very different from yours... on that we can, finally, agree.
Hi Leon,have you noticed that every time we talk about Brazilian corruption, there is always somebody immediately waving the flag and saying: it happens in the US too... it happens in the US too? The same people usually attacks the good things the US has. It is almost as if we, Brazilians, are eager to copy what is wrong in other countries and despising the good things. But what really happens is pure complex of inferiority. We cannot solve our problems and then we start finding the same problems elsewhere. Quite pathetic.Hey Nilson Brazil, blessed country is the best translation I found for "moro... num país tropical.. abençoado por Deus", song of Jorge Bem, before he changed his name. I agree, it sounds like Israel, doesn't it? Maybe you can find a better one, I don't care.
Hi Nylson Brazil,dude you are something huh!? I am old enough to remember the "ame-o ou deixe-o" (love ti or leave it) from the military in the 70s. I am actually glad and sad to have read your comment. I am glad because you just prove my point that we are going like a pendulum from a right wing dictatorship to a left wing one. And, of course, sad because that sucks! If you go back some of my comments below, man, you are going to be even madder. Imagine... I said that if we don't take care, Brazil will become a pathetic nation of self-deluded people who will never be able to express their potential, who will keep blaming others for our own failures. And then you show up and prove my point again. Look, I swear to God that I want to be proven wrong. Bud you just fit the description buddy. BTW, I am more Brazilian than you can imagineBird 73. Yes, we can do all these things. Although I think you should be more skeptical about the biofuel thing. Check the data on how much energy it really produces, how much land is needed to produce alcohol for the whole country and export for the world, and you may be surprised with how limited biofuels really are. And be a little more skeptical on our true technological capabilities. We can produce planes, but without importing technology we can't. Same with cars, submarines, and satellites. The point is other countries can do these things too. Russia, for ex, can do even more. But I don't want to move to Russia, don't have any desire to use it as a role model, don't even envy them. Why? Because living there sucks. There is nor freedom, and only opportunities for ruthless mobsters. Looking solely on what the economy is doing doesn't work for me because it matters to me what kind of society we have in mind. Having said that, I truly hope you are right and I am wrong.
I don´t want think about it, but this new state oil smacks me a few like Venezuela. Oh, smell. Okay that Lula has Evo and Hugo like your class little friends preferred. Okay if he believes that ignorance is a convenience way to maintaining pillars and therefore the mandate´s maintenance, direct or indirect. But, invest the money from oil in schools... To teach what? The way of life of the 19 century that the Brazilian public schools textbooks teach today? Or, before, will work in a pluralistic reform to prepare the collective intelligence capable of living without social programs? The new state oil was born free or we will have the Mr. "Lobão" hoping for "eat" us? And Dilma? What she want´s? Be our Cristina? Or Medvedev? What´s the Brazil plan for the long term? More corruption? The Olympic? Oh, please. About the Petrossauro, don´t want to reinvent the wheel. The PT is to primitive for that. Hidevaldo AmalitáhSao Paulo - Brasil
Remembering Mark Twain:
"We [Americans] have the best Congress money can buy".
Perhaps he was talking about a kind of "mensal�o" made US way.
Hi Nylson Brasil,
I expect I didn't get the point since I never said that violence is part of the Brasilan national character. I did say that it seems like it is getting worse.
Hello Bird73,
I agree with you regarding corruption, the US, Haliburton, etc. The original question in these comments was whether Lula and the PT will manage the money from the oil well. My opinion is that Lula and PT will continue to take what they can from Petrobras and that any additional company they create will be mostly used as another way to siphon off money from the oil. I lived in a city that had PT as prefeito for 8 years – much worse than the usual "commissions." Very disappointing.
The problems in Brasil are considerable. Like everyone else, I know what they and know they would be fixed if everyone had the same attitude as Norwegians. I have no idea how anyone can bring this about. And perhaps the question is not if Brasil can be like the Scandinavians but if they can at least get to the level of the US or Germany or England. (Personally, I'd be happy if all the countries could get to the level of the Scandinavian countries – you can see my bias in these comments .)
In any case, I am torcendo that you're predictions for Brasil are correct.
Leon Duffy:
We appreciate criticism since it is honest and constructive. Sarcastic comments, depreciative opinions don't help and are offensive, mainly coming from an arrogant foreigner. Oil is ours, of course, but the true meaning of this implicates prospect, refining and selling. All these steps must be conducted by ourselves and for our benefit. Our, Brazilians.
Talking about violence, its widespread worldwide and is evident by policies of the so called developed countries. Violent states are US and Israel, not Brazil. Is insolent to say that violence is an inherent part of our national character. Have you get the point, Mister?
Hello jbergch,
To answer your question why Lula is popular outside of Brasil. My theory is that it is NOT because a leftist revolution is in vogue. It is because Lula did not become like Chavez. Instead he continued Cardoso's Plano Real and interest rates are still great plus the added gains from the falling dollar so Wall St. has done well with Brasil and Lula. Lula has even been to Wall St. a few times I believe. However, having said that leftists are not in vogue, I would believe you if you said liberals are in vogue. My theory is that liberals like Lula because he claims to have embraced free-market principles to help the poor so he appears a little like Tony Blair's third-way. Mostly, the liberals hear that inequality is improving in Brasil (Gini index) and they don't hear about the corruption. So outside of Brasil, Lula looks pretty good.
Yes, the Scandinavian countries are small and they are socialist and not communist. But since you can find many small countries in Africa and Asia that are a mess small may be a necessary but not sufficient condition. My guess is that they do well because try to do the right thing for the group as well as doing the right thing for themselves.
Lula can say all the right things but I don't believe that Lula would really follow Norway's model. I don't know Norway's model but I bet that Norway does not have "commissions" and I bet that Lula will continue taking money for the PT from the government and Petrobras. In short I don't believe Lula what says, only his actions – dineiro na cueca – Lula and the PT should be embarrassed.
Regarding leftists, I was never threatened by communism so I don't think about that as a real option much. In addition the world sees that Russia and China have given up on communism. Only Cuba is left and their economy is very bad and Venezuela's economy is getting worse, helped only by the high oil prices. So, I suspect today that most serious countries / people accept that capitalism with all of its faults is still better than communism.
My opinion of why Brasil's economy is doing so well is, in part, due to reasonable credit to finance cars, apartments, electrodomesticos (Finivest is not an example that I am thinking of).
Hello FabioC,
I agree that the communist party rules China but the economy is more and more free-market. I still wonder why China became the factory of the world and not Brasil. As much as I prefer Cardoso to Lula, opening up the financial market and allowing the exchange rate to float helped to lose Brasil's manufacturing exports. But I don't think that is enough to explain why the US and Europe chose China over Brasil as their manufacturing base since the trend started five years before the Plano Real. China probably has more corruption than Brasil. If it were just population, the US and Europe would continue buying from Brasil while also buying from China. I don't have an answer. However, if the trend started before the exchange rate fell below 2.90, it is now impossible to export manufactured goods with the dollar at 1.60.
I also agree that most Chinese seem to be happy with their new found consumer power / materialism. This is disappointing coming from the land of Confucius. Though my experience is that most Brasilians would be happy with a carro importado e viagem para Disney (don't take this personally) and the US isn't much better. My dream is to retire in Europe.
Hello Nylson Brasil,
I get the impression that you don't like criticism of Brasil even if it may be true. Brasilians are not as poor as before but, the with violence in Rio de Janeiro and with the PCC attacks two years ago, violence seems to be getting worse.
It is my experience that Brasilians have long recognized and understood their problems. It's just that the problems never get fixed. Korea and Brasil had similar PIB / capita 30 years ago and now Korea is much further ahead of Brasil. "The land of the future and always will be?" I hope not. I hope Bird73 is right.
I absolutely agree that Brasil's oil belongs to all Brasilians. I believe the same for the Arab countries. But I don't believe Lula and the PT will take care of the oil money without taking what they can for themselves.
Dear Jbergch:
The only blessed land I know is Israel. You don't need give any explanation. Freud will do it.
How many countries in the world manufacture its own helicopters, submarines, sattelites and airplanes ? Brazil does. And one that is on the verge of putting a rocket in outerspace? Is within grasp of its first nuclear submarine? Not many.
First things first: you are not talking about Jamaica.
Look at the big picture: In a future where energy and food will be scarce, Brazil will be 1st or 2nd largest biofuel producer (it is 2nd already), 4th or 5th largest oil exporter, and 1st or 2nd largest agricultural exporter. Aside from oil, we are already megaplayers in biofuels and agriculture. Oil is a sure thing though. We will add to that the petrochemical industry and shipyards, which already exist, but can multiply their capacities by a few folds.
In a future where electric energy will cost more, Brazil will have it cheap. Prices are actually falling, 85% comes from hydro. Once you pay the debt of the dam construction it is a cash cow. Maintenance is cheap.
Brazil is already the 5th largest market for cars, after Germany (overtook France this year) and three times India, and the 4th of computer (ahead of Germany). This is just the beginning.
Who are the people buying these things? There are a lot of them... they are called the middle class. You probably don't know, but 2008 was the first year in our history when the middle class passed 50% of the population mark. And it is growing fast.
Progress is everywhere.
Let me tell you something: 50 years ago, Brasilia, our 4th largest city, did not exist. Can you imagine this in Europe or Japan? Being that dynamic, changing, evolving.
I think you guys fail to understand that. No matter what are our problems, we know for sure we will be very different in 10 years. Change is our second name.
I am an optimist. I think that "overcoming", as you wrote, is just what we will do. With PT or without it.
Dear jbergch:
Are you really a Brazilian? I have doubt about this because what did you write here a TRUE Brazilian never would do. You are lying, Mister, because we, as a people, may have problems and difficulties but all of us are proud of ourselves, of our country and our culture. A TRUE Brazilian would never say that "Brazilians continue just as poor, illiterate, and violent as ever". Take in mind: we are changing for better, much better than most countries, and we don't need people like you here in our country.

How exactly do you go about writing a business plan? I have read and read and googled and read, but so far, I'm drawing a big blank. I have no clue how to be able to project eventual income or profit margin since I am currently a home baker (free home baker since I live in Alabama) and there are no income statements or any other financial documents for that matter available. There are only 2 other bakeries in my area that actually have a store front and they are both Hispanic owned and operated. I have been to one and they only do Hispanic deserts and will not do any type of order with English on the cake as the people don't speak very much English. I live in a mid size town so there are clients to be made and this isn't a hair brained idea. Any help??

The pattern for this dress is created by those lovely ladies over at By Hand London. Such a great dress. It took me a couple of evenings to make. I used a stretch cotton fabric which was weighty enough to maintain the shape of the tulip skirt and yet not too heavy to self line the bodice. For more details hop over to ooobop!

Free Zip Archiver
This free file compression and decompression tool can handle ZIP, 7z, and RAR files.
Even with the increasing capacity of today's hard drives and faster Internet connections, file compression tools continue to be popular. Especially those that handle more than just ZIP files. Hamster Free Zip Archiver from Hamstersoft is one such simple tool. This free program will compress files in the ZIP and 7z formats, but it is fully capable of decompressing RAR files, as well.
It's easy enough to install and use. The interface is clean and modern, and compressing files is as simple as drag and drop. If you happen to be a newbie, have no fear, clicking the Help button will guide you through the entire process. You'll find three setting for your archives--Minimum, Optimal, and Maximum--so you can determine archiving speed and file size. Maximum is the slowest in terms of speed but it produces the smallest file size. Hamster Free Zip Archiver also lets you easily break up extra-large files into separate archives so they're easier to transmit, and you can password-protect files for added security.
One warning, though; installing Hamster Free Zip Archiver will make Bing your default search engine if you don't uncheck this option. It also adds a desktop icon without asking. If you don't mind these minor issues, Hamster Free Zip Archiver is a free tool that's easy to use and handles file types that some built-in tools can't.

Wtf is with Dar this match? Jesus.
Agree, but one can see Dar's point. Cook did have a long stride in and ante UDRS those shouts routinely weren't given because "the umpire would be guessing".
Now, post UDRS, we know such deliveries go on to hit the stumps very regularly, but it's because of Hawkeye that we have this knowledge. India voluntarily abjure the system, so maybe he's of the opinion they can't have it both ways.

Smith was due $4 million this season, but a person familiar with the deal tells The Associated Press on Tuesday that the Rams restructured his deal. Smith received a $1.55 million signing bonus that the Rams will pay, with the remaining $2.45 million paid by the Jets, according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because neither team publicly discussed financial details of the deal.

In Flesh & Bones, Jake takes on a seemingly unwinnable case. When Miami model Chrissy Bernhardt strides through a South Beach night spot and plugs three deadly shots into a bar patron, later identified as her tycoon father Harry Bernhardt, the lawyer watches the killing from the next stool. Yet when the apparent murderess asks him to represent her, Jake readily agrees, swayed as always by a pretty face and by nagging glimmers of reasonable doubt.
Mounting Chrissy's legal defense, Jake sets out to unearth the family secrets that molded her past: his cover girl client is either a cold-blooded killer or a sexual abuse victim. Through hypnosis, Chrissy's psychiatrist and trusted friend Dr. Lawrence Schein has helped her remember long-suppressed incidents of childhood incest.
As Jake struggles to learn if the memories are real or fabricated, he stumbles upon a scheme to manipulate South Florida's fresh water supply, masterminded by Chrissy's half-brother Guy. Delving deeper, he uncovers a suspicious link between the doctor and the developer.Once again, the personal and professional become intertwined when Jake falls hard for his beautiful client.
Aided once more in Flesh & Bones, by his unorthodox but faithful braintrust -- moonshine-guzzling Granny Lassiter, cranky retired coroner Doc Riggs and precocious nephew Kip--Jake must keep Chrissy off Death Row if she's to stay in his life.
