#2 Cue Ever Built (SOLD) Tony Miller- Wisconsin
The very second Barioni Cue ever made. This cue was completed 8/15/20003. It was my personal cue for about two years. I sold the cue around 2009. The customer that purchased the cue from me in 2009 is not playing pool any longer and is now into dirt bikes. He asked me if I could sell it for him. I would buy this cue back myself it it was not for all the medical bills my wife and have right now. I have had it in my posession for about a month and a half and have won two tournaments in a row with it. It plays great! I was trying to come up with the money to buy this cue back and that is why I did not list it right away. The customer is needing the money for dirt bike parts and it looks like I am running out of time to come up with the money. This cue is well documented and I need to keep track where it goes. This cue is a great investment for a cue collector. I am sure it will sell for $5000,00 or more some day.

All I have to say is, if you don't like the flag, get out.
This is a discussion on fox "news" poll within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; All I have to say is, if you don't like the flag, get out. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/...anned-america/...
All I have to say is, if you don't like the flag, get out.
Quando Omni Flunkus Moratati
I voted. I never thought I would see the day when that would even be a question. But even more alarming to me is that only 67 percent are against it. It should be at least in the 90 percent range. I think as a country we are losing our soul and identity. I think by being so sensitive and tolarant of beliefs and traditions that are not traditionally American we are forgetting what America is and the reason it came to exist. We are losing our sovereignty.
But it's a sad day in America when 25% say yes.

I voted.
This is what frosts me.
Quote from poll;
Yes. The safety of students comes first. 25% (596,081 votes)
Whenever some bleating heart liberal skunk tries to get the Masses to see things from their perspective, they throw that line of malarkey, "for the children,"
or, " for the safety or the children" out there to make one feel, that , if you don't vote in favor of whatever it is, "for the children" you MUST not be for children, and therefore must be evil.

Is that a "real" web site and poll? It does not seem conceivable to me that Fox News would engage in a poll with choices and language that makes no sense, at least not to me.

Waiting for the above to happen. That link is old and has been posted before around these parts.
No way.
"I dislike death, however, there are some things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are times when I will not avoid danger" Mencius"
At least 25% of the population are legal or illegal aliens or immigrants who come to this country with no real appreciation for the history and sacrifice Americans have made since 1776 to keep the flame of freedom and liberty alive and well, the symbol of which is our flag. We raise it in the morning and salute it when we lower it in the evening. We say a pledge to renew our promise at nearly every public gathering. We place it on the coffins of our most honored dead and present it to the families who take comfort in its representation of a grateful nation for their loved ones ultimate sacrifice. We expect immigrants to adopt our flag and our tradition as part of their assimilation process when they swear allegence to their new country. Nowhere is it written that immigrants may pick and choose which parts of America they would embrace and which they could ignore. To do otherwise tells me that they come here to take, not to give, to use, not to build and to duplicate what they left, rather than share what they might bring.
God damn those who would support the idea to ban our flag in the name of political correctness.
She is not called "Old Glory" for nothing. If your eyes don't tear at the sight of her rising to greet the day and your chest doesn't swell with pride when you see her leading a parade, you haven't learned what it means to be an American and I respectfully suggest you go back where you came from!
Well said. I never thought it would be an option to ban the flag that I salute almost every day. Its sad that some people see just a piece of cloth when they look at the flag; that flag is the symbol of freedom that so many of our brothers and sisters have died for.
I agree wholeheartedly; if you don't like the flag of the United State, then move to another country where you don't have to see it.
How about a poll for banning the Mexican flag except in embassies and such.

World's greatest wildlife spectacle jeopardized by plans to build road.
ARUSHA, Tanzania — It's a tough time to be a wildebeest.
Africa's greatest wildlife migration — the annual trek of 2 million wildebeest across the Serengeti plain — is threatened by new plans to build a major highway across the park.
The Tanzanian government announced on May 17 its intentions to build a major east-west highway in the north of the country that would cross Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is home to the world's last great wildlife migration during which millions of antelope and other animals trek across the African savannah.
A campaign to stop construction of the road has been launched by wildlife experts in Tanzania and around the world.
"The road bisects an area with the highest concentration of large mammals in the world, making it evident that fencing would be needed to avoid damage to vehicles and loss of human lives caused by accidents with wildlife. Such fencing would truly mean the end of the migration," stated the Frankfurt Zoological Society, a major conservation organization operating in Tanzania.
The proposed road would cost an estimated $480 million to build and would make it easier to reach Tanzania's densely populated western regions of Mara and Mwanza from Arusha in Tanzania's Northern Highlands. Currently, truckers and travelers must take seasonal gravel roads that run through the southern Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation area, or drive an extra 240 miles on the one paved road that goes to the region.
"Our countrymen in the west deserve and have a right to get access to development just as their fellow countrymen do all over the country," said Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete recently. He said the highway is a necessary boost to the neglected region.
In addition to crossing the Serengeti, the proposed highway would pass through the Loliondo Game Reserve, an expanse of protected land to the east of the Serengeti that rivals its more famous neighbor in size and beauty. Loliondo is managed for hunting and sightseeing, activities that occasionally clash with the 50,000 Masai herders who graze cattle, sheep and goats throughout the rugged land.
The planned highway plan is very popular among the Masai who want more tourism and need better infrastructure.
"It takes two hours to get from my village in Loliondo to the nearest hospital, which is 45 kilometers [28 miles]. That is a long drive to take a patient. The road has to be built," said Yannick Ndoiyno, director of the Olosokwan Economic Foundation, an organization that fosters economic development in the region. He added that the current rutted and gravel roads made life in Loliondo difficult.
Ndoiyno worries that although the road will bring economic development, it will be outsiders and not the local Masai who realize the benefits: "Unless the people here grab the opportunities like, for example, providing roadside services, there won't be any value for us at all," he said.
It seems the needs of local people are diametrically opposed to keeping the Serengeti park open for the annual migration. But there is a compromise solution.
Some environmentalists and scientists acknowledge that the Loliondo, Mara and Mwanzaa regions need better infrastructure. They suggest a plan that routes a paved road south of the Serengeti Park, through a much more densely populated region.

The founders of Hoy P'Loy Nail Emporium so love ice cream, they infuse scoops into many of their dessert-inspired nail services. Mounds of milk-and-honey ice cream aid staffers as they massage limbs during the Lattelicious ice-cream treatment, whereas the chocolate-strawberry-cream sundae coats legs in a fudgy mask, similar to the ones donned by white-milk cows masquerading as chocolate-milk cows. The salon arranges its services by size, with Cups and Cones mani-pedis representing a smaller indulgence in comparison to lengthier sundae treatments. All services, whether dairy-infused or more traditional, wield products fortified with essential oils, vitamins, and anti-aging acids tapped from young battery trees. In line with the nail salon's whimsy treatments, bright, cheery colors sprinkle Hoy P'Loy's otherwise modern, whitewashed interior.
The aroma of jasmine, lavender, and tea rose essential oils fills the air at Nadege Nails & Salon as technicians buff nails and push back cuticles with their gleaming tools. In addition to crowning digits with acrylic and gel nails, technicians smooth rough skin with banana oil and coconut scrubs during deluxe manicures and pedicures. Orange and white fabric draped between pedicure chairs, bright vases of gerbera daisies, and butterfly wall accents complement the colorful polishes and bright scents wafting through the salon. Facial- and body-waxing services are also packed with aroma enhancements, such as milk chocolate, brazilian nut, and espresso, which leave skin soft and encourage nibbles from wild Keebler elves.
The Beauty Spot's European-trained aestheticians refresh faces with a bevy of beautifying treatments, ensuring customers look exponentially more radiant during sidewalk strolls and smiling glances. Each 60-minute European facial infuses an array of rejuvenating agents deep into pores to empty pockets of dirt. A restoring exfoliation pulls back a curtain of dulled dermis to reveal a fresh new face, while an extraction shoos away blackheads, whiteheads, and Deadheads jamming beneath the skin. The facial then ends with a massage. The 30-minute microdermabrasion bids further farewell to dull, dying skin with a noninvasive resurfacing treatment that reduces large pores and diminishes fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and remnants from face-first interstellar trips through asteroid belts. Treatments also help diminish hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, and age spots.
Boca Bliss Nail Spa's meticulous technicians provide a plethora of nail and waxing services for walk-ins and same-day-appointment makers. Their spa manicures and pedicures simultaneously soothe stress and callous piggies with relaxing soaks and exfoliating treatments. The staff even offers Princess mani-pedis for children aged 12 and under, eliminating the need to stock at-home beauty drawers with semipermanent Crayola markers.
In addition to providing nailcare services, the staff administers waxing treatments to wick away body hair from eyebrows and toe knuckles. They also prep clients for beach outings and synchronized-parasailing contests with thorough Brazilian waxes and men's waxing treatments for the back and chest.
It's incredibly difficult to apply nail polish while swimming. That's why Aqua Nail Spa pairs beach and beautification the more functional way––by setting up shop less than a mile from the Atlantic Ocean. Skilled techs shape nails, care for cuticles, and decorate nails with traditional and long-lasting Shellac polish. They also provide swift waxing sessions to banish unwanted hair from brows and bodies.

Prosecutor: Harvey hostages threatened during 21-hour ordeal

Updated: September 26, 2014 1:24PM
The women and children held hostage in a Harvey home last week were threatened "with having their heads blown off" over the course of the 21-hour ordeal, and one of the two women was sexually assaulted multiple times, a prosecutor said Friday.
At a bond hearing for Peter Williams, 42, of Chicago, and David Jordan, 40, of Dixmoor, a prosecutor said the hostages had guns repeatedly held to their heads or pointed in their direction, and at one point their captors plotted to start a fire to create a distraction so they could escape.
Bond was set at $2.5 million for Williams and at $2 million for Jordan, a convicted murderer. Both are accused of taking two women and six children, ages 1 to 13, hostage after a shootout with Harvey Police.
Jordan and Williams both were charged late Thursday with attempted murder, home invasion, kidnapping and sexual assault, according to the Cook County state's attorney's office.
If convicted, they could face sentences of up to 120 years, said Patrick McGuire, a supervisor with the state's attorney's office.
The two men knocked on the door of the Harvey home and offered to cut the grass — but quickly forced their way in and demanded $50,000 from the homeowner, who couldn't come up with such a large sum of money, prosecutors said.
At the bond hearing before Judge Tommy Brewer in Cook County Circuit Court, a prosecutor alleged one of the women, the sister of the homeowner, was sexually assaulted three or four times by Williams. She had come to the home to baby-sit.
During the standoff, Williams and Jordan discussed in front of the victims a plan to tie themselves to the women, place guns in their mouths and force them to hold one of the children while walking out, according to prosecutors.
Williams' public defender asked Brewer to place his client in protective custody, saying Williams had been threatened by other inmates. Brewer said he would leave that decision up to officials at the Cook County Jail.
The incident started with a reported burglary Tuesday afternoon and ended Wednesday morning when police forced their way into the home.
Jordan was on electronic home monitoring as a condition of his parole. He was off the electronic-monitoring grid and unaccounted for by the state prison system for 71/2 hours before an arrest warrant was triggered late Tuesday.

This is a great product and a gorgeous colour. Stays on well in this shade but i also have Ambition, which is a bright red and i find that that shade doesn't stay on as well. After you put it on i find it stays wet for a long time and you feel like its rubbing off, this is my main issue with it. It is really good but not worth the price.

LOOOOVE! I was looking for something natural looking and will last all day for work as i work long hours and have no time to touch up. It does exactly that. It starts to wear off a little bit if I eat oily stuff which is totally normal. It goes on smooth and you have a few seconds to blend it with you finger if need be and then it dries to a matte finish that stays put all day long. Love the color, the packaging, it's all natural so that's a huge plus! Im waitlisted to get another bottle as i used up my first one...which barely happens! keep 'em coming lush!

This is one of the lipsticks from Lush's new emotional brilliance range in shade Perspective, which is a dusky pink shade. It's marketed as a lipstick, but the women in the shop said it can double up as a blusher. Some of the stronger shades would need mixing with cream to blend down, but this shade is light enough to go straight on from the bottle. I absolutely love it as a blusher, it's such a pretty natural soft rose pink shade. As a lipstick there's a sheen to it, kind of metallic, and it is a nice colour as well. I found when applying it on the lips it took a bit of blending otherwise it risks being streaky. The good thing is, a lot of the dual lip cheek products I've tried, the lip is more of a tint or a gloss or balm. This actually (because of the sheen) looks like a proper lipstick, and the blusher is like a second function rather than the other way round. To me, that gives it an edge over some of the other dual function products out there. I'd definitely be up for trying some of the other colours in the range, and I'd definitely recommend this as a must try product for lush fans!
Did I also mention the bottle is super cute and is made of recyclable glass?

I went to Houston to do some Christmas shopping on Friday. I had finally worked my way down to my two sons, one 21 and the other 23, both in college. I had asked them earlier on what they wanted for Christmas this year as I was expecting a generous bonus. The younger wanted his first 1911and the older wanted a DA/SA 9mm. I found them both guns that I had never owned. The youngest is getting a Taurus PT-1911. Wow what a gun. Smooth as silk 4.75# trigger, Heine straight 8 sights, great slide to frame fit and two 8 round mags with bumper pads. My only gripe is the plastic grips. I plan on changing that before Christmas day. Loaded to the hilt and for $525.00 out the door. The older son is getting a CZ 75 D Compact. Very nice DS & SA trigger, Two "Police Use Only" 13 round mags. three dot sights and nice polymer finish of some sort. They are both planning to take their CHL next year which should be timed with my renewal. That would be a great birthday gift for me, to be there with the sons during their CHL. No pics yet they are already wrapped.
They have both been shooting Dad's handguns since they were about 10. They will now have their own guns and a proud Papa.:D

The StorageMart on Atlantic Avenue — a huge, hard-to-miss building — is closing to make way for Atlantic Yards. Management sent out a notice via email to its customers yesterday, which one of them forwarded to us. Turns out the building is one of the ones being taken over by eminent domain! The judge granted the state's request for all seven of the remaining Atlantic Yards sites yesterday, as DNAinfo and Atlantic Yards Report were the first to note.
StorageMart isn't happy about the seizure. "The New York State Urban Development Corporation dba Empire State Development (ESD) has been trying for years to take over our property located at 718 Atlantic Ave as part of the Atlantic Yards project. Unfortunately it finally succeeded on August 29, 2014," the email says.

text: Caroline and Alexandre got engaged in warm sunny Dubai. Alexandre persuaded her to travel to his family's home town for the wedding. Little could she know she was making wedding plans for what would become the coldest, greyest, snowiest Paris December in over 40 years. Even though she found the perfect off-white UGGS to hide under her gown, she had difficulty staying warm while trudging along the slushy streets of the coldest Paris winter of her lifetime. She even lost her ballon (no, that photo wasn't at all staged). All was good, however, after arriving to the literal and figurative warmth of loved ones at the beautiful Eglise St. Augustin. (Very few of Paris' massive churches heat their sanctuary like St. Augustin does). The newlywed's exit from the church was celebrated by thrown snow as the couple and guests made their way to the hot chocolate trolley waiting at the bottom of the church steps that the wedding planning team of Les Tetes Chercheuses had arranged. A warm Citroen from the 40s took the couple to their vintage reception on the Champs Elysees that included the coolest band I've ever seen at a reception playing music from the same era as the Citroen.

Doug Thorley header install question
I got my DT headers in tonight, no codes, all looks good. Just one thing on the tone of the headers.
Are they fairly throaty from under the hood? I'm wondering if I might have a bolt or 2 too loose. I haven't done headers since a 95 v8 and I don't recall them being that loud on acceleration.:confused: |
If something is loose, it's going to sound like a .22 firing.
Pop pop pop pop.... Headers are louder and tend to "ping" because of the thinner wall compared to the cast manifold. Didn't notice it on the V8 because it was probably louder overall, or the car had better sound insulation (Tacoma has very little). |
It doesn't sound like a .22 at least, just louder than I expected and quite throaty under the hood under moderate throttle and higher.
I couldn't find/feel any leaks, but stopped since it was getting dark. One thing that baffled me was there wasn't a gasket on the truck for the flange where the header meets the pipe to the cat. |
Solved it today, the gasket for the header/midpipe flange wasn't where I thought it was when I put it on in the dark. I couldn't find it so I was sure it was on, yet the sound said otherwise.:o
It now sounds like stock, tone isn't any real difference, but it feels freed up over 3000 rpm, feels a bit smoother and quicker going up through the rpm's. FWIW if I had a v-6 I'd do headers there too so the "why not just buy a v-6" camp is invalid.:p ........need another mod now reg cab/short box/v6 mod getting closer. |
All times are GMT -7. The time now is 01:13 AM. |

China becomes world's fifth-largest arms exporter
China is moving up on the list of the world's largest suppliers of arms around the globe.
The Associated Press
STOCKHOLM — China has bypassed Britain as the world's fifth-largest arms exporter, a Swedish think tank said Monday.
The volume of Chinese weapons exports rose by 162 percent in the five years 2008-2012, compared with the previous five-year period, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) said in its report. That means China's share of all international arms exports increased to 5 percent from 2 percent, and the country climbed to fifth from eighth in the rankings.
The largest buyer of Chinese weapons was Pakistan, which accounted for 55 percent of the country's exports, followed by Myanmar with 8 percent and Bangladesh with 7 percent, SIPRI said.
"China's rise has been driven primarily by large-scale arms acquisitions by Pakistan," said Paul Holtom, director of the SIPRI Arms Transfers Programme. "However, a number of recent deals indicate that China is establishing itself as a significant arms supplier to a growing number of important recipient states."
Such deals include the sale of three frigates to Algeria, eight transport aircraft to Venezuela and 54 tanks to Morocco, SIPRI said.
The United States remained the world's top arms exporter during the 2008-2012 period, with 30 percent of the global volume. Russia was second with 26 percent, Germany third with 7 percent, and France fourth with 6 percent, SIPRI said.

Hasselbackspotatoes was created 1953 by Leif Elisson from Värmland, who was an apprentice at restaurant Hasselbacken on Djurgården in Stockholm, Sweden.
I made this using yukon gold potatoes, a combination of garlic and onion, fresh grounp pepper and kosher salt. I drizzled olive oil, wrapped individually in foil and put them on the grill. I will definetly make these again with some minor tweaking. Delicious.
These are great potatoes! Regarding the accordion, the writer needs to get out more! The accordion is king around the world in many styles of music - Cajun, Mexican, Irish, gypsy and even many folksy-type modern bands - Mumford & Sons for example.
This Swedish dish takes its name from Hasselbacken, the Stockholm restaurant where it was first served. My mother used to make them often. She would peel the potatoes and brush with melted butter. Half way through baking, she sprinkled breadcrumbs on top.
I make these potatoes all the time. I usually drizzle with butter and I sprinkle bacon bits on at the end. The whole family loves them.
I have been making these potatoes for years. I recommend using two wooden chop sticks on either side of the potato to keep from cutting all the way through. I brush on butter and then sprinkle with a favorite spice (Slap Ya Mama is a good one.)

A new industry standard for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in
Australia lays out how ISPs should respond to zombie computers and
attacks on the country's critical infrastructure.
An Australian collective of technology firms has developed an industry
code in cooperation with the country's government to help Internet
Service Providers improve cyber-security.
The Internet Industry Association's (IIA) newly developed "icode" (PDF)
provides a voluntary industry framework for how ISPs can respond to
security issues affecting customers and how ISPs can go about dealing
with the government in the event of a cyber-emergency.
In the event a computer has been infected and is being used as a zombie,
ISPs can temporarily quarantine the customer.s service, holding them
within a "walled garden with links to relevant resources that will
assist them until they are able to restore the security of their
machine," the document reads. In the case of a computer being used as a
spam source, restrictions can be applied to outbound e-mail.

Devault-Graves Digital Editions
Making their mark on the e-book market.
Darrin Devault, who teaches journalism at the University of Memphis, admits it: Sure, he goes online for news, and he's not opposed to reading by smartphone. But when it comes to reading for pleasure, he's still a print kinda guy.
Tom Graves, who teaches English at LeMoyne-Owen College, likes the feel and even the smell of a good hardback. And when e-books first appeared, he didn't know if he'd care for them or not — this from a writer who, when he has time to do his own writing, prefers paper and pen. Graves admits, though, that e-books come in handy. When he had his car serviced recently, he needed something to read while he waited, and before leaving the house, it took him seconds to download a book onto his Kindle. Does it need saying that Graves is hardly alone? According to a report last fall in Publishers Weekly, e-book unit sales, in the first six months of 2013, accounted for 30 percent of unit book sales overall.
Darrin Devault and Tom Graves are tapping into that market. They've founded the Devault-Graves Agency, with this in mind: bringing out-of-print or backlisted titles onto the market as e-books with fresh graphics and a keen appreciation for how words appear on the page — the digital page. As their website says: "No good book deserves to fall into obscurity." But no reason an e-book shouldn't look high-quality.
The company has so far made available, under its imprint Devault-Graves Digital Editions, lesser-known Beat novels by Jack Kerouac; classic collections by celebrity profiler Rex Reed; an autobiography by crime photographer Weegee; a forgotten memoir by E. Frederic Morrow titled Black Man in the White House; Noe Gold's offbeat Yiddish Glossary for Goyim; and Graves' own Crossroads: The Life and Afterlife of Blues Legend Robert Johnson. Sharecropper Hell by Jim Thompson and The Secret Squad by David Goodis appear under the company's crime-fiction imprint, Chalk Line Books. Titles, available from the major online book retailers, range in price from $4.99 to $9.99. Most popular title so far? Kerouac's Big Sur.
How did Darrin Devault and Tom Graves, who met more than a dozen years ago when both worked in communications for Memphis City Schools, arrive at the idea to set up their own company? It started at a personal (and publishing) crossroads for Graves.
"When my modestly successful book on Robert Johnson went out of print, the rights reverted back to me," Graves said from the company's office in Midtown. "I wasn't happy with the contract I'd had on that book, because my royalty rate was below the norm. My publisher profited much. I profited very little. Once I owned the rights, I knew off the bat that I wanted to put the book out as an e-book. I learned all the ins and outs of e-book publication. I felt I could market the book well.
"Then I realized the many famous authors who had books not available as e-books. I thought, Why not try to navigate those waters and see if I can acquire the rights to select titles? But I knew I couldn't effectively do it all by myself. I've tried to go it alone before. I knew just how difficult starting a business can be. The only person I trusted enough and who had an extensive marketing and communications background — and somebody with good business sense — was Darrin Devault."
It's been a good match for both, with Devault, whose journalism classes include the finer points of online content, handling much of the marketing and public relations.
"Darrin is much better at social media than I am," Graves said. "He's also more the sober businessman. I tend to take more flights of fancy in the creative realm. But whenever I run an idea by Darrin, if he signs off on it, I know it's a solid idea.
"When Darrin and I first discussed going into business, I was very impressed at how he quickly understood the e-book business and how to structure our own business and goals. I'm more the seeker of titles, the guy who chases down an author or the author's estate or agent to nail down the books and the rights."
"I can't take any credit for the business idea," Devault admitted. "But I can recognize a good idea when I see one. When Tom pitched his idea, I was onboard. I was honored to be his business partner. Tom's the lead person to select the titles, our bird dog. My expertise is web presence, in addition to shooting short videos, usually of Tom doing a promo for the new titles."
Both men acknowledge that starting an e-book business involved a steep learning curve, but they took their time fine-tuning their business model before launching in earnest last year. They looked to the Crews Center for Entrepreneurship at the U of M for sound startup advice, as have other faculty members and students at the school. (In Devault's words, "Memphis is a hotbed for entrepreneurial activity.")
Devault and Graves also took seriously the legal advice of a local law firm that specializes in intellectual property. That's critical, because the e-books published by the Devault-Graves Agency enjoy copyright protection, thanks to specially commissioned artwork and materials, such as endnotes, added to the original text. Former Memphian and actor Chris Ellis, for example, illustrated the jacket of the Weegee autobiography, and a whole host of European graphic designers were hired for other titles. In the case of Black Man in the White House, local newscaster and Memphis Flyer columnist Les Smith wrote an afterword.
"All of this makes up-front costs higher, but it also means no one can come behind us and replicate what we've done. It's why we have good legal counsel," Graves said.
But as Graves, a novelist and music writer, also said, the company's business model wasn't based on traditional book publishing. It was inspired by Rhino Records, which built its reputation on acquiring neglected or hard-to-find rock music. Apply Rhino's example to e-books, and according to Graves, "We, like Rhino, want rights to older backlisted or out-of-print titles that we can then remarket.
"This is what separates us from other publishers. Very few publishers are specializing in e-books only. Most companies want hot, new titles, new authors, best-sellers. Our methods for getting the rights to publish are where our trade secrets come in. This is no easy thing at all. But it is at the heart of our business. Sometimes, we get turned down."
As was the case when Devault-Graves sought to secure writer Harry Crews' catalog. When Crews was alive, they thought they had his permission. Since his death, though, negotiations to win the rights to Crews' work have gotten more complicated, if not reached a dead end.
What are the major goals of Devault-Graves, aside from rescuing authors and titles? Buildling a brand, for sure. Making a profit, no secret about it. According to Graves:
"We've discovered that some e-books sell fast, some sell slow. But they all sell if you market them well enough. Our best-sellers are projected to earn back all costs within one year. After that break-even point, we earn only profits into infinity. Anyway you break it down, it's a successful formula for us."
The key to success? Quality.
"Our expenses include going through an e-book distributor to every major retailer, including Amazon. We pay the premium price for this service, because we take great care to make our e-books look and read perfectly. 'Perfect' costs extra. So many e-books are sloppily put together. We take great pride in the quality of the reading experience you get from one of our titles.
"Other expenses include acquiring ISBN numbers, the electronic scan of each book, the hiring of artists for covers and illustrations, the hiring of writers when Darrin and I don't have the time or the expertise. There are many variables and expenses to putting together an e-book. It is not work for the fainthearted."
And as for the future:
"We will have to build up our readership person by person," Graves said. "It's our short-term goal to have 25 titles out by the end of the year. Our long-term plan is simply to multiply and keep multiplying the number of high-quality books under our two imprints. Our hope: that we brand ourselves well enough so that readers will take a chance on a book simply knowing it's a Devault-Graves title."
Neither Devault nor Graves has any intention of neglecting their chief priority, however, and that's teaching. But thanks to the internet, they're open for business 24/7.
They only ask that writers or their families or their representatives think twice before signing e-book rights over to bigger publishing companies.
As Tom Graves said, "They need to start thinking about the little guys who might actually do a better job. Yes, we have our dreams." N

Hello all- Need your advice on a good climber to choose to grow on the opposite side of my arbor from my New Dawn. Last year we got a Fourth of July climber but it didn't come back at all this year and by now I'm guessing it's dead. I'd like to plant another climber in its place. I already have New Dawn (which is growing like a weed!), Abraham Darby (on another arbor) and Joseph's Coat (near our porch). I guess I'm looking for a really brightly colored climber in red, orange, purple or striped. Something that will have a good contrast with New Dawn. Thanks in advance for your suggestions! |

Hi vampy. Where do you live? Do you spray fungicide? |
- Posted by vampygirl13 6b (My Page) on Mon, Jun 2, 14 at 14:03
Hi there- I live in Western PA, zone 6b. I do organic spraying since my roses can get a lot of blackspot. |
Sounds like you want a traffic stopper. Mine is 'Rosarium Uetersen', which produces masses of large, fairly fragrant flowers in vivid salmon pink, coral, or medium red, depending on the weather I guess. All the colors pop aggressively. Established plants repeat well. On the downside, it has large, sharp thorns. Mine is about 10 x12' on a support. It is vigorous and makes lots of canes to 8' that are flexible when young. Laterals 4' to 6' allow dense coverage of a trellis or arbor and flowers all the way to the ground. It does not make great long canes like 'New Dawn'. It is resistant to blackspot in some gardens, but there is a strain that affects it in others. |
- Posted by Nippstress 5-Nebraska (My Page) on Mon, Jun 2, 14 at 15:45
Hi Vampygirl I agree with Michael that Rosarium Uetersen is an easy care disease resistant climber, and it does pop when in bloom, though I wish mine rebloomed better. Another orange climber that does well in many zones is Westerland, and it's pretty reliably hardy and healthy for me, though I don't know about east coast and BS. If you want a nice purple striped climber, there has been a lot of good reaction to Purple Splash, which seems to be hardy and a reliable bloomer around multiple areas of the country. Mine is just now approaching its "leap" year, so I can't say too much personally, but it is hardy for me. As for red, there are a lot of hardy healthy options, depending on how you define "red". In gardening terms, that often translates to "hot pink" or "dark crimson", not a true fire engine red, but they tend to be eye-popping and particularly hardy and healthy. Some in this color range are Quadra, Illusion, Ramblin' Red, Field of the Woods (the latter two possibly the same rose). For a redder 'red', I've had good results from Dublin Bay and The Prince's Trust, the latter of whom is the fastest growing climber of any ilk I've grown. Hope these give you some ideas! Cynthia |

The following list will all be hardy to varying degrees in your zone. Some will be tip hardy, some will lose a little bit of cane in a colder than average winter. All of these are exceptionally disease resistant.

Thanks for your suggestions! All of these are beautiful---just have to choose one! :) |
Reds- I would suggest you look at Don Juan. I just had to move a 5 year old one when we moved and it was a good 14 ft tall and covered with big red blooms. I have a small RU that I am currently loving. Yellow-You are 6b so not sure a Tea would work for you, but Climbing Lady Hillingdon is a gorgeous yellow for me. Sky's the Limit is also supposed to be great and if you want to try an Austin I have seen some impressive Lady Hamilton roses grown as climbers. |

Thanks guys but I let hubby pick this one since he picked the 4th of July that didn't make it. I chose Purple Splash and it was on sale and Roses Unlimited. Also replaced my Marilyn Monroe, which didn't make it either. |

PANAJI: While most people are affected by the sliding value of the rupee, which has even caused a steep hike in petrol prices, not everyone is complaining about the currency losing its sheen.
The tourism sector in the state is buoyant about the situation since Goa is set to witness a rise in the number of tourists visiting the state as many Indians have cancelled their plans of holidaying abroad due to the fall in the value of the rupee.
Travel operators STOI spoke to, claim that inquiries for packages to Goa have increased and June is expected to see a huge influx of tourists.
Nilesh Shah of Raj Travels told STOI, "Tourists who were to travel to the far east and other cheaper foreign destinations will change their plans due to the rising dollar," while adding that high-end tourists who had already made foreign holiday plans, may not change them.
He felt Goa is a good monsoon tourism destination as the pricing was competitive. Shah said Goa would now attract more people looking to hold their conferences, seminars and meetings. He also felt Goa was a preferred destination for short packages. "Hotels have a good occupancy and 70-75% of the rooms in hotels are occupied," Shah said.
Harpal Singh of Minar Travels was also of the view that "the rising value of the dollar has forced everyone to rethink their travel plans".
Ralph De Souza, spokesperson of Travel and Tourism Association of Goa (TTAG), was also of the view that Goa would attract more domestic tourists not just due to the fall in the value of the rupee, but also as the state government had cut the luxury tax for the off-season in the budget.
"Foreign travel will reduce," he told STOI, with regard to the rise in the value of the dollar.
"Many tourists who would have to pay in dollars for hotels, rooms, and transport at a foreign destination will prefer to come to Goa," he said.
De Souza also noted that since the air turbine fuel was cheaper in Goa, more airlines preferred to fly to Goa which resulted in more seats to Goa and cheaper fares. "With all these factors, the cost of packages can rationalize. We're hopeful that this will also result in an increase in the number of tourists coming to Goa," said De Souza.
He estimated that the increase would be in the region of 5%. Besides, it will also salvage the estimated 10% fall in tourists coming to the state due to certain central budget measures.
Swapnil Naik, director of tourism, told STOI, "We feel that this time there will be an increase in tourists coming to Goa. We observed a growing trend towards monsoon tourism in the state and occupancy had gone up by 60-65% during the monsoon season last year."
"Even now, hotel occupancy is almost 100% and this will continue for the next two weeks," he added.
Goa hosted 27 lakh tourists in the recently concluded tourism season.

EL PASO - El Paso Sheriff's deputies are looking for two men who led them on a high speed chase in east El Paso County.
According to deputies, Ruben Ramirez and Albert Alvarez refused to stop when deputies tried to pull them over during a traffic stop.
The pair led deputies on a high speed chase for several miles before the car finally came to a stop. That's when deputies said the two men jumped out and ran into a dark desert area.
Deputies did not catch up with them, but did find several stolen items inside the car.
Ramirez and Alvarez are both wanted for evading arrest.
Ramirez is also wanted by the El Paso Police Department on a separate charge for burglary of habitation.
Alvarez is also wanted on an unrelated charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Authorities think both men are hiding with friends or family in the area.
If you have any information on their whereabouts, call Crime Stoppers at 915-566-T-I-P-S (8477).

Cornwall superbug C. diff cases double target
Cases of the superbug C. difficile in Cornwall hospitals were double the target last year, it has emerged.
The Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust (RCHT) revealed in a report to the board that there were 40 cases last year, against its target of 20.
The infection can cause severe and sometimes fatal diarrhoea.
The RCHT said it was working with GPs on cutting C. diff infections and no cases were the result of cross-infection between patients.
What is C. diff?
- It is a bacterium found in the gut of up to 3% of healthy adults and 66% of infants, where it rarely causes problems.
- It can cause no symptoms at all, mild or severe diarrhoea, or in some cases severe inflammation of the bowel which can be life threatening.
- The elderly are most at risk, with over 80% of cases reported in the over 65-age group.
- From BBC Health
The Trust is responsible for 750 beds at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Treliske, Truro, West Cornwall Hospital, Penzance and St Michael's Hospital, Hayle.
Dr Andrew Collinson, joint director for infection prevention and control, said: "It is always our aim to avoid any preventable cases of C. diff and none of those reported over the last 12 months have been a result of cross-infection between patients.
"We are working hard with our GP colleagues in primary care to keep to an absolute minimum those infections that occur where the choice has to be made over the need to treat an illness with antibiotics and the patient's risk of contracting C. diff infection."
The trust's target next year would be 35 cases.
Derriford Hospital in Plymouth had 34 cases against its target of 25, it was revealed in a report to the board.
Derek Butler, of MRSA Action UK, which campaigns against hospital infections, said: "Avoidable infections are unacceptable.
"These are human beings we are talking about and sadly when they pass away it leaves a legacy that never goes away."

Is Non-Monogamy The Key To An Affair-Free Marriage?
The Times reports that in 2010, "NORC, a research center at the University of Chicago, found that, among those who had ever been married, 14 percent of women and 20 percent of men admitted to having an affair." How many of these affairs stemmed from women and men feeling too ashamed to tell their partner what they really wanted sexually? Savage believes that if a person's sexual desires aren't being met, there's no shame in simply asking your partner to experiment with you. If couples are expected to be monogamous, "then you have to be whores for each other. You have to be up for anything." 20 Percent Of Italians Favor Open Relationships Over Monogamy
Of course, non-monogamy tends to appeal more to men than women, who generally have a harder time separating physical and emotional intimacy. For many women, there is no such thing as "just sex." Savage thinks its better for women to know what men are really like, so that they don't go on "marrying and pretending that their boyfriends and husbands are Mr. Darcy or some RomCom dream man." YourTango Quickies: New Factoids On Cheating, Orgasms & Divorce
What's important to remember is that marriage is not the same for everyone. One size never fits all, according to Judith Stacey, a New York University sociologist interviewed for the article, and "variation is what's natural." In this case, Stacey says couples should decide on the vows they want to make. This way, when they work out the terms of their commitments together, they can be on the same page.
Infidelity, after all, is what Savage sees as another trial that "marriages can be expected to survive." And the best advice he can offer other married couples is to get a sense for one another and plan accordingly.
How do you feel about non-monogamy?

"Todos Santos - todo bien!" Todos Santos by darcitananda
Todos Santos Travel Guide: 51 reviews and 140 photos
Myself and 2 girlfriends took a long weekend (5 days) trip to Todos Santos. We arrived by bus only to find that there were no local buses or taxis. Well, rumor had it there was one taxi in town, but we never saw it. We ended up getting around on foot and in some cases hitch-hiking. I wouldn't recommend hitch-hiking due to obvious safety reasons, but we encountered such generous people in Todos Santos that we took some calculated risks.
Jenny's gorgeous modern hotel had plenty of rustic Mexican touches but all the amenities and comfort one is accustomed to in the USA. Can't complain about a single aspect of our stay there, especially not the little tiny bar and sushi at night, the salt-water pool, or the homemade breakfast. The room had amazing mattresses imported from the US, and an absolutely stunning shower area. It was about a 20 minute enjoyable walk into town. Most other guests had rented a car, but we rather enjoyed our walks and got some good exercise this way. It was a great way to burn off the copious amounts of "George's Tacos" that we ate every day, a delicious road-side stand that made fresh fish and shrimp tacos.
A ranch right next door to Hotelito offered horseback school in Dressage. Her horses were fit and healthy and responsive. We took a 3 hour ride through the desert to high above the sea and rode back galloping on the beach. Worth every penny to ride these well-trained animals. These are not "trail" horses which ride the same route every time at a plodding pace. These horses will race each other on the beach, and respond to the classic leg signals and vocal commands. We also saw whales migrating close to the shore during our ride and were accompanied by the owner's gorgeous Belgian shepherd dog.
- Pros:Out of the way (4 hours by bus), the beach isn't good for swimming due to rough surf, tourists tended to be older/expat, hard to buy quality supplies such as sunscreen
- Cons:Out of the way :), delicious fish tacos, great hotels, no frat boys, gorgeous desert landscape
- In a nutshell:If you can't relax here, you really can't relax anywhere!

Lodge L410 Customer Reviews
Product Code: 261-L410
I love this grill; it is easy to use, easy to clean and is very handsomely designed
I use it for personal reasons ,I like the cast iron construction ,easy to use no clean up most of the residual on the grill grate burns off the next time you use it.
This Lodge Hibachi,manufactured in the good old USA, has no toxic components that you might find if it were manufactured outside the USA. That was my highest concern and that's why I bought the Lodge Hibachi.
I am a professional chef, but chose this for my husband for home everyday. It works beautifully, is elevated from the coals at the right height, uses half the charcoal of a conventional bbq, and best of all is made in TN.
I am very happy w/ this grill.
We tried to use a small good quality gas grill before this one and it just didn't cook food the same way as over charcoal. Not as tasty. Also, cleaning the gas grill was much more difficult as fat seemed to burn on it everywhere and it took a lot of scrubbing to get it off (I'm compulsive). I also did not like having to deal with the empty gas cartridges (small ones) as I had to find a place to recycle them and that made for an extra little errand in the car (more gas). Although it takes a little more time to get a fire going on the hibachi, it is worth the extra wait. It is a little on the heavy side but not impossible to deal with.
This is a great grill for four or less people. We use half the charcoal we were using with our Weber grill. This is a solid well built grill that will last along time. The day I got the grill I cooked a london broil and it was terrific. I highly recomend this grill for anyone who enjoys the great grill taste of foods cooked on a hibachi grill. You will not be disapointed with this grill. Buy it!
wonderful little grill. It's heaavy but that appears to be the only downside. wish it had handles that wouldn't allow the hibachi to tip over!...fun for Korean BBQ
I plan to use my Lodge grill at least twice a week. It is well made and best of all, it is made in USA!

G3/S3*- YEMEN- Yemen opposition asks West to freeze Saleh assets

* Hamid al-Ahmar voices support for GCC deal
* Clashes erupt in capital between Saleh loyalists and defectors
* Two soldiers, 11 militants killed in fighting in south (Adds quote,
clashes in capital)
SANAA/ADEN, Aug 14 (Reuters) - A leading member of Yemen's opposition
called on Western countries to freeze the assets of President Ali Abdullah
Saleh, who is clinging to power despite months of protest against his
33-year rule.
Sheikh Hamid al-Ahmar, a tribal leader and wealthy businessman in Yemen's
main opposition party, the Islamist Islah, also lashed out at Saleh's
sons' "desperate" attempts to keep his family in power as their father
recovers in Saudi Arabia from a June assassination attempt.
"I call on Western states... to begin proceedings to seize the possessions
and money of Saleh and his family, because they belong to the Yemeni
people," he said in an interview with pan Arab daily al-Hayat, adding
those funds could be used to repay the country's debts.
The protests have paralysed the impoverished Arabian Peninsula state,
where even before the unrest some 40 percent of the population lived on
less than $2 per day.
Governments worldwide have responded to crackdowns on Egyptian, Tunisian
and Libyan protesters this year by freezing their long-time leaders'
But while veteran presidents in Egypt and Tunisia bowed to pressure they
quit, Saleh has proved a shrewd political survivor, and officially remains
in power.
Ahmar praised Saudi Arabia's role in mediating the crisis, dismissing
accusations it is thwarting Yemeni demands for change: "I see the Gulf
initiative, which was essentially a Saudi effort, as one of the supporting
aspects of the revolution," he said.
Saudi Arabia has spearheaded a Gulf Arab plan to end Yemen's political
deadlock by easing Saleh out of office, but he backed out of signing it
three times at the very last minute, leaving Yemen in political limbo.
Last week Saleh said he would look at reviving the initiative, which would
see him hand over power to Vice President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, but his
opponents question whether this is yet another stalling tactic.
"It's clear Saleh must realise his future as President is finished and
that everything he is doing now is just a desperate attempt to implement
his plan to hand power to his sons," said Ahmar.
Away from the negotiating table, one civilian was killed in the capital
Sanaa in clashes between the forces of general Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar who
defected from Saleh in March and the Republican Guard, which is commanded
by his son.
Residents in the west of the city said they heard the sound of shelling
and heavy exchanges of gunfire.
An uneasy ceasefire mostly prevailed in Sanaa after Saleh flew to Saudi
Arabia for medical treatment, but tensions have been rising in the past
few days.
The media centre for the protesters quoted a military source as saying a
reconnaissance plane circling over the headquarters of General Ali
Mohsen's first armoured brigade had been hit by an aerial defence system
and forced to turn back.
Meanwhile, violence flared anew in Yemen's south, where Islamist militants
have exploited a political vacuum, taking over at least two cities in the
volatile province of Abyan, including its capital Zinjibar.
Two soldiers and four militants were killed in fighting on Saturday night
when militants attacked an army compound and a sports stadium used as a
makeshift military base, a local official said. Seven more militants were
killed in air strikes after planes were sent to help repel them.
A loose coalition of tribesmen and the army last month launched an
offensive to try to flush militants out of Abyan, but they have yet to
regain much of the lost ground.
Opponents of Saleh, who earned U.S. backing by presenting himself as a
vital partner in the West's counter terrorism strategy, say he has
deliberately let militants expand their foothold in the south to convince
the international community only he can keep al Qaeda's Yemen-based wing
in check.
The United States and Saudi Arabia, both targets of al Qaeda in Yemen are
worried instability there could create a much wider security threat.
