Ross MacDonald was one of the greats of hard-boiled detective fiction, along with Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. Just as Chandler looked to the pioneering Hammett, MacDonald looked to Chandler, whom he called a "slumming angel."
From the time I was very young, I heard my parents reading and telling stories.
My mom loved to tell me about when my sister and I got our library cards.
Call us America's library capital – or at least, one of them. The Mid-Continent Public Library has been named a recipient of the National Medal for Museum and Library Service.
It's been a long time since I took my time reading a book because I didn't want it to end. The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry is one such book.

text: POPSUGAR Beauty Emma Roberts How to Get Audrey Hepburn's Breakfast at Tiffany's Hair as Worn by Emma Roberts Learn Emma Roberts's Ode-to-Audrey Hairstyle by Beauty 9/13/10 3 Shares Like us on Facebook Emma Roberts wore a modern French twist, inspired by the classic style worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival premiere of her film It's Kind of a Funny Story. "Emma is such a classic beauty, so I wanted to create a look that was sophisticated, but still fit with her youthful personality," said Nexxus Creative Director and celebrity stylist Kevin Mancuso, who created this feminine updo. This ode-to-Audrey hairstyle couldn't be more timely, as soon we'll all be thinking about what costumes to wear to Halloween parties. (And you can never go wrong with a style inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany's, no?) So to get Mancuso's tips, just keep reading. Style: Apply a volumizing mousse, like Nexxus Mousse Plus ($10), as a styling aid. Blow-dry hair, using the fingers to create lift. Once the hair is practically dry, use a medium-sized round brush to smooth out the ends. Create a deep side part. And for that side-swept look, use a small-sized round brush to drag the front portion of the hair down and back. Pull the hair into a midlevel ponytail. Then, twist the pony up and roll in, securing with bobby pins. To soften the look and create texture, gently pull on the edges of the style. Finish: Apply a lotion, like Nexxus Sleek Finish ($11), to tame frizz. Finish off by setting the style with a light mist of hairspray, like Nexxus Maxximum ($8).

President Barack Obama says he called a Georgetown law student who was labeled a "slut" by radio host Rush Limbaugh because he doesn't want people who speak their mind about policy issues to be discouraged or attacked.
Asked to comment on Limbaugh's apology, Obama says he doesn't know "what's in Rush Limbaugh's heart."
Limbaugh apologized to student Sandra Fluke, saying he shouldn't have used the language he did and it was wrong.
Obama said the incident made him think of his two daughters and his hopes that they can engage in issues they care about in the future.
Obama says he doesn't want his daughters "attacked or called horrible names" for speaking their minds and being good citizens.
Obama says the remarks "don't have any place" in public discourse.

Overflow of New Idol Groups - Why Won't They Stop?
By Staff Writer | July 15, 2012 04:27 PM EDT
With the rise of the K-Pop sensation, the number of new idol groups has significantly increased.
Entertainment agencies like SM, YG, and JYP have already introduced a number of famous Hallyu idol groups over the years. However, they are constantly in the process of forming new idol groups. For example, SM Entertainment debut groups EXO-K and EXO-M in Korea and in China at the same time.
Like Us on Facebook
JYP, who recently unveiled the duo JJ Project, is reported to be in the process of preparing a new male idol group. YG Entertainment is also in the process of forming a group consisting of Kim Eun Bi from the show "Super Star K" along with Euna Kim and Jenny Kim to form a Girls' Generation of YG Entertainment.
Other agencies are also in the process of preparing new idol groups. Cube Entertainment, the home of idol groups BEAST and 4minute, recently unveiled their new group BTOB. T-ARA's agency Core Contents Media introduced a new girl group Gangkiz as well.
Also, DSP Media, home of KARA and Rainbow, recently introduced A-JAX and PURETTY. Son Dam Bi and After School's agency Pledis Entertainment recently debuted Hello Venus and NU'EST.
Even agencies that refrained from entering the idol group market have entered their foot in the field. For example, FNC Music, home of FTISLAND and CNBLUE, will debut their new girl group AOA sometime this year.
Big Hit Entertainment will work with Source Music to introduce the girl group GLAM. Before their debut, they are appearing in the SBS MTV show "GLAM" to familiarize themselves with the public. Also, Yedang Entertainment that manages big stars like Lim Jae Bum and Ali, will debut their new boy group C-Clown.
The music industry described, "The idol market is completely saturated." After 2010, when miss A, SISTAR and INFINITE debuted, countless idol groups have been introduced but failed to get attention.
In reality the idol market in Korea is dominated by mainstream groups like TVXQ, JYJ, Super Junior, Big Bang, Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, KARA, 2PM, 2NE1, SHINee, f(x), T-ARA, BEAST and 4minute, all who debuted within 2004~ 2009.
INFINITE and SISTAR became famous after some time passed since their debut. INFINITE's popularity suddenly became explosive for various reasons and SISTAR became popular after switching to a sexier concept.
A representative stated, "It's important to pay attention to the internet communities to observe which idol stars are the most popular. Among the fans, there is already a list of the most popular idol groups. According to the list, the fans decide where they want to go. In an entertainment industry that depends largely on internet, it is inevitable to ignore the comments and news articles in the media."
So what is the reason why agencies keep on introducing new idol groups?
Another representative in the entertainment industry revealed, "K-Pop has become the center of Hallyu which enriched the businesses that are related to K-Pop. It's only natural the market for idol groups became bigger and many agencies feel that they could jump in the field as well. However, once they enter the industry it is very hard to leave as they wish."
The idol groups that are being introduced today are all aiming to debut overseas as well. As a result of the K-Pop sensation throughout the world, countless agencies are attempting to find talents that will wow the world. For groups like U-KISS, they headed to Japan when they couldn't find much success in Korea.
A Hallyu representative stated, "The market in Japan is several times bigger than that of Korea and in China with its large population, there is a greater potential for success."
According to a survey of international students taken from February to April revealed that 60% of 4,600 believed that the Hallyu sensation will end within 4 years and 40% believed it will end within 5 years. Most believed that Hallyu/K-Pop is at its peak right now and there won't be anywhere to go except down.
A representative from the K-Pop industry stated, "If agencies keep producing idol groups at this rate, there will be a very negative outcome for sure. Idol groups need to be stabilized once they debut. There are a lot of talented people amongst the idol groups and they should be recognized for their talents, not for the idol groups they're in. It's a shame to think that some of that talent could be buried under the greed of entertainment agencies."
To wrap up, the reason there is a never-ending supply of new idol groups is because of the success driven entertainment agencies. Although that statement cannot be applied to all music agencies, that explanation clearly seems to be the best fit for some. As a result of the K-Pop sensation that is sweeping the globe, there is a significant increase in the potential for monetary success.
There is not a single idol group that does not get training for their debut overseas even before their original debut in Korea! The hottest idol groups that dominate the industry today have all been carefully trained throughout long, hard years to become what they are today. It seems as though it is necessary for the entertainment agencies to reconsider carefully before debuting a new idol group in a rushed manner since it will only be a waste of time, money, and most importantly talent.

I am thoroughly convinced that the Deseret News is tied intimately with IHC.
What about calling for a tax of IHC is inappropriate? We are talking about
budgets and one fair tax of an entity that is getting away with murder (from a
financial standpoint) could increase revenue significantly.
I get my comment blocked for this?

Will another browser work or is it just the fact phones simply will never learnt to work like a desktop PC in this area?

President Obama has taken to having sit down lunches with people who write him letters. I wonder if I could get a free burger from POTUS if I wrote him a heartfelt letter about my "too damn high" grocery bills. A free burger certainly would not come amiss in times such as these.
While Washington indulges in high-toned debates over exactly when inflation officially sets in, POTUS and other elected officials need to know the realities the rest of us face as we push our grocery carts up and down the aisles of our neighborhood supermarkets. Their lives have become as different from ours as the inhabitants of the wealthy "Capital City" in the popular "Hunger Games" novels.
But instead of competing against each other like the fictional "tributes" of the 12 districts, our challenge in the U.S. today is simply making ends meet. Lawmakers in the Capital City seem unconcerned: Apparently, worrying about what it costs to buy groceries is for little people.
A recent Wall Street Journal report on Washington's approach to the "sensitive question" of what constitutes inflation let the cat out of the bag: "Central Bank Officials Sometimes Look Past Food-Cost Increases."
Most of us don't have the luxury of blithely looking past food-cost increases. We know from everyday experience that unless we have factored in the new reality of eating in America and are careful and calculate every item as we go, we are likely in for a big shock at the checkout counter.
But many VIPs in Washington don't feel the pain: Most government officials live high on the hog (pork prices are estimated to rise by 10 or 11 percent this year—but no matter to them). They simply don't see the reality that people outside Washington live with daily. Because tribute money—excuse me, tax revenue—pours into the District of Columbia from the rest of the nation, Washington residents, especially those whose incomes are mostly derived from the presence of the government, live in a constant boom economy.
If you walk down, say, Connecticut Avenue in Washington, you are more likely to see new businesses sprouting than the shuttered storefronts you would see elsewhere in the country. In a long ago time, Washington was a small town because government was smaller. A liberal friend of mine commented on the prosperity of Washington, naively unaware that Washington lives the way it does because the rest of the nation sends its money. And because the lobbyists, elected officials and bureaucrats live relatively gilded lives, the problems of ordinary Americans are abstractions to them.
Due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of our readers it has become necessary to transfer our commenting system to a more scalable system in order handle the content.

Swedish-Finnish iron-ore to be shipped from Narvik
Published on Wednesday, 27th October, 2010 at 12:30 under the news category, by Ramona Tancau.
The Northland Mining Company has decided to ship iron-ore from mines on the Swedish-Finnish border from the Norwegian port of Narvik.

Photo: Nordic Bulk Carriers A/S
Economic factors
The company chose the route via Narvik instead of using the Finnish port of Kemi because of cost, according to Swedish Newspaper Norrlänska Socialdemokraten. The shipments will reach China through the Northern Sea Route.
Christian Bonfils, managing director of Tschudi subsidiary Nordic Bulk, which will be transporting the iron-ore, estimates the journey is one third shorter than via the Suez Canal.
"This results in a significant reduction in fuel consumption and transportation time, and it also means much lower CO2 emissions. The fuel savings alone add up to approximately $180,000," he said in a press release last month, when the Norwegian company announced it would be the first to send a non-Russian vessel on the route.
An additional advantage with Narvik is that bulk carriers can reach up to 300,000 dwt, five times more than the maximum capacity of Kemi, reports the BarentsObserver.
According to the shipping plan, the ore will first be transported from the Swedish Kaunisvaara mines near Pajala to Svappavaara by oversized Catepillar trucks, weighting 170 tons.
It will then be loaded onto the mining company LKAB's trains, which will take it to the Narvik port.
However, infrastructure adjustments meeting the minimum requirements for heavyweight transportation from the Swedish-Finnish border to the port of Narvik will have to made first if the plan is to work.
Norrlänska Socialdemokraten reports Northland has already contacted Swedish authorities asking for an exemption from weight restrictions in order to drive the oversized trucks on ordinary traffic roads.
If the iron-ore ends up being transported by trucks to Svappavaara, then via rail onwards to Narvik, other railroad investments in the area will also be put on hold including the rail line from Kolari in Finland to Skibotn in Norway.
This would also affect projected railroad investments to connect to the Swedish network, as well as improvements on the Finnish side.
"All large-scale track improvement plans have now been suspended. The electrification of the railway track would have cost approximately EUR 50 million", Director Kari Ruohonen from the Finnish Transport Agency told Helsingin Sanomat.
Northland hopes to begin production in the Swedish-Finish border mines by 2012, with adjacent shipments starting the year after.

The brain is wired to detect the threat of snakes, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers studied a pair of macaque monkeys born in captivity who had not encountered snakes before the experiment. When shown an image of a snake, the monkeys' brains fired off rapid fear responses far stronger than those recorded when other threatening images were shown. "It really strengthens the argument that snakes are very important for the evolution of primates," said University of California at Davis anthropology professor Lynne Isbell, who co-authored the study.

Slipping my friend
I must say I was a little disapointed. I absolutly love salad fingers because of its utter creepiness. But this one just seemed kind of... pointless. It seemed like all you were going for was shock value. I suppose you succeeded at that.
But where other animations of yours that I have seen left me with a tingly sensation and my hairs on end. This one just left me with a very slightly nausious sensation in my gut.
That being said, the music was not too shabby and the animation was alright. But this is certainly not up to the standard of some of your previous works.
Yes, well....
I've been around Newgrounds for more than a year, but this flash actually made me become a member. It's not really the flash itself I'm interested in. I get the meaning behind it (If it was intended like to have one). It's the fans that I'm worried about. I find the reviews which goes like this: "Hahahahahahaha! No point! LOL etc." scares me a little. And to those who got offended by it, well, they didn't get the point either but it's better than laughing of "random violence" like this.
Well, anyways about the flash:
Graphic's a bit sloppy, although I figure that's the point. The sound is excellent. And it has a good story line.
Also, go Salad Fingers :)
good shit
I simply couldnt stop laughing thru this one. First from the music, then from the crazy mongoloid killer dry humpin dead people. Loved it! :D
you sick basterd

Holy shit!

PYRAMID SCHEMES CAN DESTROY YOUR SAVINGS, but they're a boon for your fitness portfolio, says John Romaniello, NSCA-C.P.T., owner of Roman Fitness Systems in New York City. His favorite: descending pyramids, or successive sets of an exercise performed with fewer reps and no rest. "It's a great way to fatigue your muscles quickly and do more work in less time," he says. But they're not for the faint of heart: "You're going to smoke your entire body," he warns, "but the payoff is more lean mass and a greater metabolic burn."
Perform the exercises in each round as supersets (back-to-back without rest). Start with 8 reps of each exercise, and do 1 less rep in each successive superset. Rest for 90 seconds between rounds, completing each one twice. Too difficult? Do both rounds once and then run through them again, completing as much of each as you can.
Straight-leg deadlift + Dumbbell row
Pushup+ Jump squat
Dumbbell straight-leg deadlift
Hold a pair of dumbbells in front of your thighs with your feet hip-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Hinge forward at your hips, lowering your torso until it's nearly parallel to the floor. Pause, and return to the starting position.
Get down on all fours, placing your hands slightly wider than your shoulders. Straighten your arms and legs. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor. Pause, and push yourself back up as quickly as possible.
Dumbbell row
Holding two dumbbells, bend at your hips and knees and lower your torso until it's nearly parallel to the floor. (Let the dumbbells hang at arm's length.) Now bend your elbows and pull the dumbbells to your sides. Pause, and slowly lower them.
Jump squat
Place your fingers on the back of your head and pull your elbows back so they're in line with your body. Dip your knees and then jump explosively as high as you can. When you land, immediately squat and jump again.

Recent reviews:
July 9, 2014 - My Sister and I LOVE these aprons. I have looked for aprons that are waterproof in the mid section due to we always get that area wet when doing dishes. This aprons solves that problem. Apron is a little stiff due to the oilcloth, but well worth not having wet clothing after doing dishes! Highly recommend if you have the same problem we did!
May 11, 2013 - Ole! I've been looking for an oilcloth apron for years and now I've found a good one. So easy to wipe off, I can go ahead and make a big mess without consequences. This one seems sturdy enough to last a long time, cute too.
March 22, 2013 - Bought two since I couldn't decide which yummy combination I liked best. I love that the ties reach all the way back around to the front. Wish the aprons were a bit longer in length, but I love using them.

Chippewa County's self-funded employee insurance plan has had a pretty good track record, but it's hit some tough times. The insurance fund dropped so low that the County Board on Tuesday had to transfer $1.7 million from the county's general fund to bail it out.
The county's health insurance plan and what to do about it in the future will be the subject of a special board meeting Tuesday, Aug. 21.
A self-insurance plan is a substitute for a county buying health insurance from a private insurance company and paying its premiums. The county collects revenues from employees through premiums, but the vast majority of the funds in the program come from tax money.
The county pays employee health insurance claims itself, using a hired company for administration. Many organizations find self-insurance is more cost efficient than paying ever-rising health insurance premiums.
County ordinance calls for the county's insurance fund to have a minimum balance of $300,000 and a maximum balance of 125 percent of the current year's health insurance fund budget, which for 2012 would be $1,651,329.
Over the years, it worked pretty well. From 1993 to 2011, the county has had to transfer from the general fund to the health insurance fund about $1.08 million when claims were higher than expected. However, because claims were sometimes lower than anticipated, over that same period the county transferred from the health insurance fund to the general fund about $1.6 million.
Then the hard times hit. In 2010, the county ended with a loss of $273,839 and 2011 ended with a loss of $550,137. That reduced the fund balance to $811,211 at the start of 2012.
This year, utilization of the plan has been abnormally high.
The reason is likely Act 10, the state law that virtually eliminated collective bargaining by public employees and entirely removed health insurance as a negotiating point. That allows the county to make whatever changes it wants to the health plan without consulting the employees after the expiration of current contacts.
That creates uncertainty about the future among employees.
"They are trying to get as much done now as they can under a plan they know and is practical," said County Administrator Frank Pascarella.
The trend projects a negative fund balance by the end of the year.
Transfers from the general fund require a super-majority of the board to approve, so 10 of 15 votes were required for passage of the transfer resolution.
"We do have an obligation to pay these claims, so we really don't have any alternative but to approve this resolution," Pascarella said.
The resolution passed 11-3.
The county may or may not continue its self-insurance plan and is likely to make changes to it. That will be the subject of Tuesday's meeting.
