"Hot, dangerous, and sexy."
--Candace Havens, author of Charmed & Deadly
"I found him in the slave market on Orpheseus Prime, and even on such a god-forsaken planet as that one, their treatment of him seemed extreme."
He may be the last of a species whose sexual talents were the envy of the galaxy.
Cat is an enslaved warrior from a race with a feline gene that gives him awesome beauty, fearsome strength, and sensuality and sexual prowess unmatched by any other males in the universe. Even filthy, chained, and beaten, he gives off an aura of power and virility and his feline gene gives him a special aura.
Jacinth is an intergalactic trader on a rescue mission and she needs a man she can trust with her life.
She has spent years pursuing her kidnapped sister from planet to planet. Now her quest leads her to a place where all the women are slaves. "Jack" needs a slave of her own--one who can masquerade as her master.
Enmeshed in a tangle of deception, lust, and love, they must elude a race of violent killers and together forge a bond stronger than any chains.
"A sexy adventure with a hero you can't resist!" -- Candace Havens, author of Charmed & Deadly

Tullett Prebon plc is an inter-dealer money broker. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.
The company was founded by Derek Tullett in 1971 as a foreign exchange broker trading as Tullett & Riley.[3] During the 1970s and 1980s it opened a number of overseas offices. In 1999 the Company merged with Liberty Brokerage to create Tullett Liberty.[3]
In early 2003 the Company was bought by Collins Stewart plc, a financial services company, creating Collins Stewart Tullett plc.[3]
In October 2004 the company acquired Prebon Yamane, a broking business formed in 1990 following the merger of three leading London-based money broking businesses—Babcock & Brown, Kirkland-Whittaker and Fulton Prebon[3]—and which had adopted that name in acknowledgement of the firm's close business alliance with the Tokyo-based Yamane Group.[3]
In December 2006 the group separated into two separate entities: Collins Stewart (stockbroking) and Tullett Prebon (money-broking).[4]
The company acquired Chapdelaine, a US broker, in January 2007 and integrated the business into its existing operations.[5]
In September 2012 the company was asked to help the Financial Services Authority's investigation into malpractice across the City of London, with particular interest in the LIBOR interest rate fixing.[1]
In 2014 Terry Smith, chief executive of Tullett Prebon PLC, left the London-based brokerage firm to work full-time at the privately owned asset-management firm he started in 2010.[6]
He is succeeded by John Phizackerley as of 1 September 2014. Phizackerley, who prefers to be called "Phiz", started out as a mining engineer with Anglo American and is a former Nomura and then Lehman Brothers executive.[7]
The company operates as an intermediary in wholesale financial markets. Many of its clients are commercial and investment banks. It operates in eight product areas: Volatility, Rates, Credit, Treasury, Non Banking, Energy, Equities and Property.[8]
The company also has specialist trading desks including, for example, Insurance Linked Securities where it facilitates Catastrophe Bond secondary market trading and provides a broking service to arrange Primary and Private Market transactions. It also provides data information services for financial institutions, covering areas such as Solvency II risk data, Credit Default Swaps data and FX Options data.[9]

Winners of 15 of its last 19 games, Colorado State enters its final regular-season road series in second place, with a chance to move up the standings, facing first-place Fresno State.
April 30, 2014

Colorado State at Fresno State | Friday, May 2 | 7 p.m. MT | Video | Stats
Colorado State at Fresno State | Saturday, May 3 | 3 p.m. MT | Video | Stats
Colorado State at Fresno State | Sunday, May 4 | 1 p.m. MT | Video | Stats
The Bulldogs are top dog, sitting in first place in the Mountain West after taking last weekend's series vs. UNLV. Fresno State is 15-4 at home, and leads the MW with a 12-6 mark (28-18 overall).
Junior outfielder Brenna Moss holds a .356 batting average with team highs in hits (58), doubles (seven) and stolen bases (27). Three players are hitting above .300, and senior infielder Stesha Brazil has a team-most eight home runs and 37 RBI. On the other side of the field, sophomore pitcher Jill Compton holds an 18-8 record with a 2.06 ERA. She is the reigning MW Pitcher of the Week, and has tossed 17 complete games, eight shutouts (13th in NCAA) and 135 strikeouts. On April 23, Compton recorded her second career no-hitter. Sophomore Taylor Langdon has four saves, which ranks ninth in the nation.
All-time, Fresno State has had tremendous success against the Rams, winning 26 of the 28 all-time meetings.
All three games this weekend can be streamed live for free through the Mountain West Network.
Entering last weekend in a first-place tie in the conference standings, CSU lost its first series in more than a month, dropping two of three games to San Diego State. The Rams, Aztecs and Boise State Broncos are now in a three-way tie for second-place, one game back from Fresno State.
- Game 1: The Rams scored an early first-inning run, but couldn't continue momentum against pitcher Danielle O'Toole, who leads the MW in wins and ERA. The 10-2 loss marked the first time CSU was run-ruled this season. Senior Alysa Greckel went 2-for-3, driving in a run in the fifth inning. Overall, CSU had nine hits, but couldn't bring them around to score, leaving nine on base. The team's first-inning run came after senior Chelsea O'Connor tripled to bring in Shae Rodriguez.
- Game 2: CSU had one of its best defensive games of the season, shutting out San Diego State, 1-0. A rematch between the two aces – O'Toole and CSU's Holly Reinke – this time, Reinke got the best of her counterpart, tossing her third shutout of the season and limiting the Aztecs to five hits. The Rams scored the game's first run in the sixth when Greckel tripled and sophomore Jaelyn Manzanares singled to shortstop to plate the run. An inning later, though, the Aztecs had the tying run at third and the winning run at second with two outs. Second baseman Haley Hutton made a great play to save at least one run and turned it into a game-ending double play, running to first base before throwing home to gun down the tying run.
- Game 3: In the series finale, the Rams again got on the board early, taking a 2-0 lead on an O'Connor home run – her team-best 10th of the season. Reinke pitched effectively, but San Diego State rallied for runs in the fourth and fifth before taking the lead on a couple defensive miscues in the sixth.
Despite dropping last weekend's series at San Diego State, the Rams remain as one of the hottest teams in the Mountain West, winning 11 of their last 15 conference games. With six games remaining – and facing first-place Fresno State this weekend – CSU can still make a strong push for its first conference championship in 11 years.
Here's a look at the final two series for teams within a game of first place:
|Fresno State (12-6)
|Colorado State, at Nevada
|San Diego State (11-7)
|at San José State, Boise State
|Colorado State (11-7)
|at Fresno State, San José State
|Boise State (11-7)
|New Mexico, at San Diego State
The Rams began the season with four straight victories, and after a month of play, sat at 15-5, the team's best mark in 25 years. Following a four-game slide, they got back on track, and have since won 15 of their last 19 games.
With a 30-13 overall mark, the Rams have reached 30 victories for the first time since 2007. What's more, the Rams have done it in the fewest games (43) since 2004. During the 2004 squad's conference-championship season, it started out the year 30-11 before finishing 40-14.
The 30th victory is also special for Head Coach Jen Fisher, marking the most wins in her four seasons at the helm of the softball program. After going 8-43 during her first year, she had a 21-win improvement the following year – going 29-22 – and a 25-24 mark in 2013.
The Rams rank 21st in the country with 6.26 runs per game, and a large part of that is the team's ability to score early. CSU has out-scored its opponents 42-16 in the first inning, and is 15-2 when leading after the first frame. Overall, CSU is out-scoring its opponents, 269-167.
Leadoff hitter Haley Hutton is a big part of that. Over the past 15 games, the freshman has reached base during the Rams' first plate appearance 12 times, scoring on nine occasions. She ranks 20th in the NCAA for runs scored.
Senior Alysa Greckel is playing her best softball as the season winds down. In three games at San Diego State last weekend, the first baseman went 5-for-9, posting a triple and driving in and scoring a run. During conference play, Greckel leads the Rams with a .386 batting average. In 18 games, she has 22 hits – five for extra bases – seven RBI and a .526 slugging percentage.
Both individually and as a team, CSU ranks among the best in the Mountain West in several statistical categories, and is even moving up the charts nationally. On offense, CSU leads the league in runs scored per game, slugging and on-base percentage, and is second in batting average. One of the most balanced teams in the league, the Rams rank third in the MW in ERA and opposing batting average, and second in fielding percentage. CSU is the only team in the conference to rank in the top three in all three phases of the game –runs per game, ERA and fielding percentage.
Nationally, CSU's 6.26 runs-per-game average ranks 21st. The Rams are third in the NCAA with 1.70 doubles per game, 22nd with 0.28 triples per game, 25th in batting average (.315) and 26th in slugging (.495). Individually, several Rams are among the best in the nation, including senior Chelsea O'Connor (1.47 RBI per game; second) and freshman Haley Hutton (1.07 runs per game; 20th).
CSU will play its final series of the regular season May 8-10 at Ram Field. The Rams will welcome conference newcomer San José State. Saturday's game is a Green Out, and the team will honor its six seniors. Admission is free.

Haredi riot 311 R.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Police arrested three haredi (ultra-Orthodox) men Saturday who tried to prevent civilian traffic on Rehov Hanevi'im in Jerusalem's Mea She'arim neighborhood. Over 100 haredim were demonstrating against the desecration of Shabbat and shouted "Shabbes" at passersby.Around 20 people, including residents of the nearby Musrara neighborhood and secular activists, gathered on the street near the haredim for a counter protest to ensure that the traffic was not disturbed. Similar haredi protests take place most weeks at the same place. The issue of haredim protesting against the desecration of Shabbat is common in Jerusalem and demonstrations have been known to become violent.Last summer, close to a thousand haredi men held a demonstration against the desecration of Shabbat, marking 100 weekends since the Karta parking lot in the capital began to open on the Jewish day of rest.Police repeatedly stopped the participants from blocking the intersection of Strauss and Hanevi'im, on the southern border of the haredi area in central Jerusalem.The area resonated with yells of "Shabbes" aimed at security personnel, photographers and cars driving by, as well as at a handful of secular counter-demonstrators on the other side of the street.Police pushing back the front line of protesters nearing Rehov Hanevi'im were subject to the occasional cry of "Nazis," or reminded of the verse that "those who desecrate [Shabbat] shall die," but retained their cool and avoided giving the demonstrators the desired pretext to up the level of violence, that was largely limited to pushing.Jonah Mandel contributed to this report.

You Don't Become The World's Leading Hedge Fund Manager Without Learning To Delegate The Most Critical Of Tasks
How does a nanny earn more than the average pediatrician? The simple answer is hard work — plus a strange seller's market that follows a couple of quirky economic principles. A typical high-priced nanny effectively signs her (and they are almost always women) life over to the family she works for…And, alas, it seems that there just aren't enough "good" nannies, always on call, to go around. Especially since a wealthy family's demands can be pretty specific. According to Pavillion's vice president, Seth Norman Greenberg, a nanny increases her market value if she speaks fluent French (or, increasingly, Mandarin); can cook a four-course meal (and, occasionally, macrobiotic dishes); and ride, wash and groom a horse. Greenberg has also known families to prize nannies who can steer a 32-foot boat, help manage an art collection or, in one case, drive a Zamboni to clean a private ice rink. [NYT via BI, related]

The littlest game that could
Holy crap, where to start with this game? It's not only a great baby's first action-rpg, it's also a challenge for seasoned veterans of the genre. And that's where Bastion's strength lies. It truly is an all ages game; the closest video games have ever come to Pixar quality. Not only can the youngest of the young play this game and enjoy it, but older gamers can find an incredibly deep and satisfying story that deals heavily in themes of forgiveness, loss, and genocide. Parallels between the Calamity and the Manhattan Project are pretty obvious, so it's no surprise that Braid and Bastion share similar themes.
This story, told through the unique narrator, not only provides for great atmosphere and sweeping narrative, but it also has it's place when playing the game over again. It's as if the game is just a story, and whenever you play it over it's as if this wizened old man is telling you the story again. Not only does this old man tell your story of restoring the Bastion, he also tells the stories of the strangers you meet on your journey. Where the narrator really shines, though, is in the reflections. In these survival mode levels, the narrator tells a single story over the course of 20-30 waves of enemies, one story bit before each wave. It's a great concept, not only because it entices players who play only for the narrative to see more gameplay, but it also gives gameplay focused duders something more to chew on.
Speaking of gameplay, the actual game part of Bastion is satisfying in that "easy to pickup/hard to master" sort of way. The game eschews a randomly generated loot system that so many other ARPGs can't resist, and trickles out new weapons over the course of the game. These weapons are always interesting, but never obsolete and each new weapon has its own unique purpose. Need to kill a bunch of enemies very quickly? The Fire Bellows (basically a flamethrower) is your answer. Need to focus down a large enemy quickly? The Galleon Mortar or Calamity Cannon are both powerful in their own special way. The only weapon I could say wasn't really that useful or interesting was the Cael Hammer. In fact, after awhile most melee weapons have no purpose, as there are no enemies that have no melee ranged attacks. So that sucks a little bit, but it's definitely a personal complaint and definitely not a huge problem in any way.
Basically, Bastion is the one game everyone should be striving to make. It's a great games for kids that has more for them as they get older. It's a great game for adolescents because it reminds them that good games aren't necessarily splattered with gore. It's a great game for adults because it's just a great game that knows that it's small and becomes so much bigger for that recognition.

Sacramento County Jail inmate who hanged himself identified
The Sacramento County jail inmate who hanged himself Sunday was accused of stabbing two women at a Valley Hi home nearly a year ago.
The Sacramento County Coroner's office identified the inmate as Khounlat Sihabout, 35, of Sacramento Monday. He was pronounced dead at 10:25 a.m. Sunday at the jail.
On June 9, 2013, Sihabout was arrested after he allegedly stabbed his wife and his sister. Police said that he had been separated from his wife and became jealous. He allegedly brought his wife into a room at the Valley Hi home and began to assault her. When his sister intervened, he stabbed both women.
Sihabout had been held at the Sacramento County Jail since that day on several charges, including attempted murder, child abuse and assault with a deadly weapon.
About 10 a.m. Sunday, deputies found Sihabout dead in his cell. He had hanged himself with a blanket. Since he was placed in a total isolation unit, deputies checked on him every hour. He was last seen alive at 9:04 a.m. Sunday. His death is being investigated by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.

Do you "specialize"?
We have a pretty good zone and I have a pretty good locale for berry production. As well, the berry seasons fairly well match our market. Strawberries start in May, then blue berries ad black berries in June and July, and I've purchased a newer variety of raspberry that is supposed to be late summer. I've also got a few trees started, peaches and apples, Arkansas black apples which are popular here because of the tradition. That would give me some fall fruit. I'm just wondering if any of you "specialize" like that and if it is a good strategy. Our market seems to be flooded with produce as well as being rural a lot of people garden, and we compete with several permanent summer produce stands around town. I've thought about growing the less common veggies (asparagus, kolrobi, mushrooms) but I don't think the customer base is "snooty" enough for that. It seems to be more about "fresh". I have done okay with corn as I specifically grow peaches and cream and am able to keep from deep discounts when corn floods the market. Several years back I had a half acre of strawberries and sold everything I picked. It was too much for me to handle, though, so I'm looking at trying to do smaller plantings of different fruit and multiple varieties that will stretch my season out the longest I can. The goal being a smaller but steady supply.
I'm also thinking like you. It takes a couple years to get there,which means if other see what i'm doing I have them by a couple years!
I've started asparagus,strawberries,& blackberry; myself. I think they will work,I already have a strong following, for my different type melons I grow- no cantulope& watermeleon
I don't grow alot of fruit, but can sell strawberries, peaches and apples most any time.
Also cantalope and watermelon will sell until everyonelse's comes in.
The key that I've found is KNOW your produce. On apples, know which one better for pies, versus sauce. Know how to make applesauce especially for young moms, and it's rather simple. Know your peaches, which ones are higher in sugar (important to diabetics), know how to preserve them (again important to young moms). I've had several customers each year come to me and ask what varieties will be available for their liking, AND to make sure they have all the supplies that they need to preserve a few (even if it's just to freeze).
Yes, Tulsa, especally the blueberries take a long time to get to peak production. Blackberries are faster and strawberries are up and running by the next year. I have had peaches off a dwarf in the second year, but I'm going with semidwarf because the dwarfs die out just a few years after they start producing. My family, the Arkansas black is a really great apple. Tart like a granny smith with a super long shelf life. It makes a really good carmel apple and ripens at a good time for that. You can't buy it in the grocery store and since people think of it as native, they like that. Same with the other berries, an Ozark Beaty strawberry and Ozark Blue blueberry will sell sooner than earliglo or duke. Arkansans aren't as bad as Texans, but they're pretty bad. LOL
Specializing is great. It is just hard to know which thing to do!
I think asparagus is a great idea, not for snooty people. It is perennial and easier to deal with than strawberries. I know the vendor next to me is continuing to go toward specializing to make it easier for him. He has put in a lot of asparagus and strawberries and garlic.
I wish I could look in the future and see what I would learn about what crops would be best for me. I am great at flower arrangements plus flowers are easy to grow but I would have to get into a market that needed flower arrangements.
Scarred Cinderella pumpkins did great for me last year, They would be easy to sell wholesale. Anyway there are just so many ideas to specialize with I have no idea.
I'm a little nervous about Ozark Beauty. I've only done the June bearing in the past and not tried the ever bearing. Around here the big dogs only do June bearing, but I wondered if that is because they hire pickers or do u pick. (Which is May for us, not June). I thought maybe it is too hot for ever bearers. But since they're called Ozark, and I'm in the Ozarks, I figure it's worth a try.
I pretty much grow 4-5 crops to include garlic, onions, potatoes and winter squash. I do grow others such as snap beans, beets, tomatoes, carrots but not in large amounts. I grow what yields the best income per foot of row, and what I like to grow as well as the crops most suitable for my ground and management style. I used to try amnd grow it all, naw. berries have done well for me, currants, black berries and raspberries.

Fuel cell company ClearEdge Power raises $13.5M
- Erik Siemers
- Business Journal staff writer
ClearEdge Power Inc. has raised $13.5 million in equity capital.
The fast-growing Hillsboro-based manufacturer of fuel cells declined to discuss details of the capital raise.
The round is the first equity round since a $26 million round disclosed in January 2010, according to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
In that time, ClearEdge has raised nearly $35 million using debt and other securities.
Also, ClearEdge last month was awarded a $2.8 million grant from the federal Department of Energy to work with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to deploy and track 38 of its fuel cell systems in 10 organizations.
Privately held ClearEdge has grown from 31 employees to 225 in the last two years as demand for its five-kilowatt fuel cells has surged. The units have a list price of $56,000.
Though the company declined to discuss its fundraising, CEO Russell Ford told Sustainable Business Oregon in January that the company was working on its last private funding round, with an eye on an eventual initial public offering or strategic acquisition.
Fuel cells are large batteries that operate by turning hydrogen into electricity.

Is the forum dead?
Say it isn't so! I check here four or five times a day, hoping to see a new post or a reply to a post. I've been busy working on large projects - - just finished a 6 ft. x 4 ft. painting for a man in Houston - - but my main focus is and always will be Mosaics. My warrior woman is ready to grout. I'm waiting on an order of Apoxy Sculpt, which should be here today, which I will use a bit of to help install the antler. Here's a pic of the front, ready to grout.
Hi! Yes, it's a little porcelain bird on a fluted leaf. It has the same shades of pale olive green and brown as the pieces around her neck. I hope you're right; people are outside working in their gardens and flower beds right now.
Oh yeah, uh huh - that's me - outside working in the gardens. Uh huh!!!! Still can't seem to want to do anything. Working in paper at the present. One of these days, I hope to get back to mosaicing some small things. I just can't seem to find a way around this wall that has blocked me from ANY kind of project worth sharing **sigh**.
BTW, SILVA - you sure did a fast and beautiful job on the torse. It's very unique. You're gonna love the Apoxie Sculpt.
Thanks, crafty-lady and slowmedown, for replying; I was beginning to feel lonely and lost in the wilderness. I went through a long period of drought where I did nothing creative and then suddenly the fog lifted. Maybe sometimes we just need those fallow times to regenerate? As I said in another post, there's nothing like a deadline to get me busy; that's why I accepted Annii's invitation to set up a table at her open house in June.
Heck my mosaic drought lasted 1 1/2 years due to the fact we lost our home to foreclosure! A year ago my daughter bought her first home and we spent almost 7 months fixing it up and it was finally ready for the 5 of us (daughter, hubby, son, furbaby Missy and I) to move into it December 13th. While the inside has been completely renovated, we have a huge backyard that needs to be tackled before it gets too hot to be working outside. Plus I need to go through tons of boxes in the garage and decide what to keep and what to sell and hopefully find my bins of grout and then I'm hoping it won't be long until I can get back to mosaicing again. I like looking at what others are doing though because it keeps me inspired and I hope it will spark an idea for my next project!
Well I certainly hope not since I just discovered this site. I am a mosaic artist and just came in the house after grouting 2 pieces in the garage. Most of my work are wall hangings from 12 x 12 inches to 18 x 24 inches. They are all bright and colorful. some are of nature and some are of people and some are just plain whimsey!
If some of you out there are thinking of working with mosaics--go for it! It is easier then stained glass and you can get wonderful results. You can use either ceramic tile or stained glass or a combo of the two, which is what I usually do. All materials are available online.
I hope other artists speak up on this subject.--- Judith
Thanks, nicethyme! She will be grouted soon (by end of day next Tuesday, if not before).
Welcome, Judith! There are many wonderful and talented people here. I miss them if they don't post often.
I got my Apoxie Sculpt in the mail yesterday and played with it some today, and I Love It! I see endless possibilities.
Silva, I have been working out in my garden (uh, drtdgr?) . As much as I want to finish the projects that have been gathering dust for months, my neglect has turned my garden into a jungle.
I've been experimenting with pencil sketches and have discovered a love for that too. Helps to learn perspective, shadowing, color theory, etc. for mosaics. At least for what I would like to do, landscapes.
Been thinking of this forum. I've missed being on it.
Hi, nana, good to see you here. Love to see pics of your crosses. I did a bunch of crosses in the past and I love doing them. Maybe I'll try to complete one or two before the open house in June.
drtdgr, my neglect of my back yard has turn it into a wilderness. I planted some Gregg's Salvia last weekend and some other flowering plants, but didn't even plant any tomatoes this year. Now I'm sorry I didn't, because we have had so much unexpected rain, they probably would have done well.
My granddaughter does pencil sketches all the time and it's wonderful to watch how she improves from week to week.
I too have been very busy cleaning up my gardens. Had my annual plant and garden art sale last Saturday and did very well in spite of the rain. Just simply amazes me that people continue to come.
I too, do better when deadlines are looming. Am scheduled to participate at the Plum Creek Art Fest in July. So will be my inspiration to get more mosiacs worked on!
Your torso is amazing!

Oh dear, guilty!! I am signed up to do two craft shows this summer--my first--so I have been busy making as much inventory as I can. It's all the same flowers, mushrooms and pendants you've all already seen so I haven't wanted to bore folks with more posts.
Although...in the middle of it all, I'm making a cat. This will be for me. I've learned that in the process of making things to sell, I need to remember me or it will just become a second job.
And at the same time, when I have popped in, most of the questions being asked are on subjects better suited for other experts on this forum. So I have been a guilty lurker!
Silva, your torso is gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing it with the antler.

More second-row woe for Springboks
ESPNscrum Staff
September 16, 2011

South Africa lock Johann Muller has been ruled out of their match against Fiji with a hamstring injury.
Muller had been named on the replacements bench for the Pool D clash but was later forced to withdraw. In his absence flanker Francois Louw comes into the squad with fellow reserve Willem Alberts, a back-rower, now covering starting second-rows Danie Rossouw and Bakkies Botha.
Muller's absence is a further blow for the Springboks with Botha continuing to struggle with an Achilles problem and vice-captain Victor Matfield out of the match after he suffered a hamstring injury in the victory over Wales on Sunday.

One switch providing power to another?
Question in short:
Can the load side of one single pole switch be used as the
feed/line side to another switch?
I want to install a timer for my bath exhaust fan. The current switch for the exhaust fan is part of a decora double rocker switch where the top rocker controls lights above the sinks and the bottom rocker controls the exhaust fan. This double rocker switch is cut into a very large mirror on the wall. So I want to avoid cutting the mirror to make room for a larger work box.
The attic above the bath is roomy enough to work in and some of the romex is run along the joists and readily accesible.
I was thinking of installing the timer on an adjacent wall,
splicing(in a j-box) into the run in the attic to the exhaust fan and running 12/2 back down to the timer(properly designating the white in this run with black tape).
In this setup the bottom rocker of the double decora switch would "feed" the timer.
Would like to hear some thoughts on this idea whether you think it would work(well it will work) but more importantly if it is OK.
You can certainly wire a time in series with a switch as you describe. The only question I had was if this circuit is 20 amp, thus requiring 12 gauge wire.
To make this more user-friendly, why not change the existing double rocker switch back to a single switch, and put a switch/timer for the fan in a different location. To me it doesn't make sense to control a single fan from two locations.
I've never seen a timer that will fit in the same space as another switch as you're asking. Your other option is to relocate the timer (or the light switch) to another spot on the wall somewhere.
I don't know what your intent is but BROAN makes a fan that incorporates both humidity sensors and timer into the fan.
When the fan switch is on, if you flip it off for less than a second, it will run for 20 minutes and then cut off, until there's a humidity buildup an then it will run until that abates.
Currently from the double decora there is 12/2 running to the fan. I'll install a new timer switch on another wall in the bath and run 12/2 from the timer(switch loop) somewhere in the attic along the 12/2 from the decora where I'll use a j-box and make the appropriate ties namely:
The 12/2 FROM the decora once cut I'll tie the whites together...neutral is now intact to fan.
From the 12/2 to the timer(switch loop) I'll relabel the white as black and tie this "white now labeled black" to the black FROM the decora.
The black FROM the timer will be tied to the black TO the fan.
SO in essence the (bottom rocker switch on the double decora) is used as the line to the new timer.
ron: the current fan is only a few months old so I do not want to go thru the expense of a new one but thatnks for that option on the humidity sensing fan. Did not know one was made like that.
I'd actually run a 12/3 with the description you have. Unless you want one of those annoying ticking timers forever, run HOT and NEUTRAL down to the timer and then the switched feed back.
Frankly, I might consider just wire-nutting the connection that went to the original switch together and replace the double switch with a single. Why have two switches in series?
ron: I was considering one of the mechanical timers by Intermatic but may take your advice and get a digital one requiring the neutral.
Also good suggestion on just wire-nutting the the connection at the current double rocker decora. I knew having two switches in series was not typical but could not think of an easy solution without grabbing power from somewhere else.
I've got a couple of those multibutton intermatics that give you 15-30-45-60 minutes of time. One's on the receptacle for my wife's straightening iron which she's afraid she'll forget to turn off. The other is on the lights for my wine cellar (room is super insulated so leaving the lights on can really get the cooling unit going hard).
Lutron has a timer/dimmer.

text: 2005 RFKC Staff(Click title to go to our camp website and see some photos, plus learn more about this world wide organization. There may be camps in YOUR state.)Long time readers may remember this same time last year when I wrote this poem: August 14, 2005 Prayers for my campersButterfly wingswake me, sliding gentlyout of slumber into nervousness.The heart beat of hope fadeswith drums in the jungleas the substance of dreamsswirl into nothing.I have prayed for youlittle girls...big prayers of fun.My prayers, like butterflies in thegarden, only spread pollenand perhaps next year youryoung fragrances will still bloom.Maybe next year promisesof dew and morning sunshall be enough guidanceonward toward a futurewe have tasted in the past.Sleep beckons me backwith a lover's embracewhere certainly there aremore dreams of you. and when I wrote this one:Tuesday, August 23, 2005 RFKC camp I learned a new trait whilst I was gone your soul taught me to conquer the largest fear to dance with the moonlight to sparkle with sun drops to float bubbly in the light to set spiders free to laugh like a loon to giggle at midnight to weep with abandonment to sing until my lungs hurt to forget about being ill to believe Well I am bringing it up again just to let you know that just because Charley and I are now foster parents we have not forgotten RFKC and what that was like...Indeed we are still going this year and probably every year we are able. (One of our children is the right age to go go and is actually attending the camp with us, the campers are 7 to 11 years old.) So from Sunday morning until Friday night we will leave these children who have stolen our hearts and go and give love to other chilren for a week, hoping that one week can make truly make a difference. In fact, we know that it can because we hear about how it has all the time. Being foster parents now we have even encountered some of the children who were at camp last year and know that they treasurer the experience and look forward to it all year. I also know that some of the kids dread going, like my own little one who told ME that camp sucks and the cabins stink. I asked this child if there is any reality being used to reach this conclusion or if it is just a guess and the kid said: "Well, I can just tell it isn't gonna be fun, so there." If I had known we were up against that last year I would have been scared to death...silly woman. This year I am loaded for bear. Those kids are going to have fun if it kills them. I am kidding mister or misses lurking social worker, it is a figure of speech, er writing. What I mean is now that I have foster children I have a completely different vision that I am seeing. But camp will be FUN, FUN, FUN. I mean, geez it is rule number one and seven of the code book. xxoo ````````````` wisdom from last year:

Garneau reaches for new heights
Former astronaut tosses helmet in ring to be next Liberal leader
MONTREAL -- He may never be known as Flash Garneau, but the latest contender for the helm of the federal Liberals hopes his astronaut credentials will give him a lift.
Marc Garneau repeatedly played up his resumé as Canada's first man in space as he officially launched his leadership campaign Wednesday.
The Montreal MP touted himself as the Liberals' best hope for defeating Prime Minister Stephen Harper, having gained the necessary experience and leadership skills during an impressive career before jumping into the political arena in 2008.
"I want to be the prime minister of Canada, I want to be the Liberal leader," Garneau told a news conference in Ottawa shortly after formally kicking off his campaign in his Montreal riding.
"I will talk about my strengths and my strengths are proven... There will be no modesty here. I'm going to speak specifically about what I've done in the navy, what I've done in the space program, including being the president of the Canadian Space Agency."
Garneau insisted he's not daunted by the prospect of going up against fellow Montreal MP Justin Trudeau, son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau and the prohibitive favourite.
"When I sent in my application (to become an astronaut), I was one of 4,000 people and I ended up No. 1," Garneau said. "So, I like to take on challenges and I'm taking on this challenge and I intend to win."
His campaign kickoff was starkly different than Justin Trudeau's launch early last month and the contrast suggests Garneau has plenty of work to do to catch up to the front-runner, both in terms of campaign organization and personal appeal.
Garneau strode into a packed hotel meeting room in his Montreal riding early Wednesday to a standing ovation from some 100 people. The event, however, featured no big-name Liberals, no music, only a few chants of "Garneau, Garneau, Garneau."
Having said repeatedly he wouldn't enter the race unless he was certain he could put together an effective campaign team, Garneau curiously refused Wednesday to name members of his team, other than campaign director Andy Mitchell, a former Ontario MP and cabinet minister.
His launch was significantly more reserved than Trudeau's rally in another part of the city last month. Trudeau received a rock-star welcome when he made his announcement before a boisterous, adoring throng of 500 supporters. The crowd included a number of former MPs, at least one current MP and some of his father's former cabinet ministers.
A number of sitting MPs have since jumped on Trudeau's bandwagon.
Garneau shrugged off questions as to why no MPs are supporting him thus far, suggesting Liberals are waiting to compare all the candidates during five leadership debates in the new year. After that, he said, they'll cast their votes on April 14 with only one question in mind: "Who is the best candidate to defeat Stephen Harper?"
"That is the fundamental question and I believe that I am this person," he said.
On his way into the weekly Liberal caucus meeting in Ottawa, Trudeau welcomed Garneau's entry into the race.
"He's a man of ideas and strength and he is going to be an important player in the coming months in the rebuilding of the Liberal party," Trudeau said. "And I'm very excited he's part of it."
Garneau is well-regarded on Parliament Hill as an earnest, hard-working, intelligent MP. He joins a large field of contestants, which includes Trudeau, Vancouver MP Murray, former Toronto MP Martha Hall Findlay, Ottawa lawyer David Bertschi, Toronto lawyer Deborah Coyne, retired Canadian Forces Lt.-Col. Karen McCrimmon, Vancouver prosecutor Alex Burton and David Merner, former president of the party's B.C. wing.
Toronto lawyer George Takach is expected to join the race today. Ontario government economist Jonathan Mousley is still hoping to enter if he can raise the stiff $75,000 entry fee.
So far, only Trudeau and Coyne have officially registered as candidates, filed the required nomination papers and paid the first of three $25,000 instalments on the entry fee. Garneau said he has also paid the fee and filed his papers but the party has not yet processed his application.

After analysis at least as thorough as that employed in forming my estimate of the loss for the quarter ending June 30 (to enter bobshfl's contest, whose winner is treated by bobshfl to a SBUX venti coffee with two espresso shots), I have decided to enter a limit order (limit $2.49) to sell short 3400 shares.
*****(to enter bobshfl's contest, whose winner is treated by bobshfl to a SBUX venti coffee with two espresso shots),*****You can be sure that bobshfl will never pay up. He is a true bet welsher. Of course, with his net worth (initially funded by someone else's hard work) down by the value of H's new homestead, we certainly can understand his newfound bitterness.Will SHFL and VNX's price soon cross? Don't bet it won't. Don't bet at all with bobshfl though.
I cooked up that prize description out of thin air in the hope of scoring a free cup of coffee if my guess is correct.
Anyone wanna bet on whether Flamer Girl is more bitter than...a) bitter herbsb) Jeffrey Skillingc) Steven Bladd) The Bobsy Twinse) All of the aboveAnd all because he lost a silly $10 bet which I didn't hold him to. Get it together FlamerGirl before you pop a gasket! (LOL)Go SHFL!
Holy Crap! That's a bigger prize that the $1 casino chip...I better get out my VNX earnings decoder ring and get busy.

A.M. Best Affirms Ratings of American Family Insurance Group; Assigns Issuer Credit Ratings.
The ratings of American Family are based on its excellent risk-adjusted capitalization, improved underwriting performance and well-established regional market presence as a leading personal lines insurer in the Midwest. These positive rating factors are derived from American Family's increased rates, focused operating philosophy and competitive expense structure achieved through its exclusive agency distribution system. Offsetting these strengths is the group's susceptibility to weather-related losses and competitive market conditions.
AFLIC's ratings recognize its integral role as the life insurance member of American Family and its focus on providing life insurance and financial products to the group's customer base. AFLIC's ratings also reflect its diverse product portfolio, strong marketing and distribution presence in the Midwest, overall positive net operating performance and favorable risk-adjusted capitalization on a stand-alone basis. Offsetting these strengths is the company's exposure to disintermediation risk, the challenges to sustain life insurance sales growth through its property/casualty-oriented agency sales force, increase the penetration of its parent company's customer base and improve the operating performance of its annuity businesses.
The FSR of A (Excellent) has been affirmed and an ICR of "a+" has been assigned to American Family Insurance Group and its following property/casualty subsidiaries:
--American Family Mutual Insurance Company
--American Family Insurance Company
--American Standard Insurance Company of Ohio
--American Standard Insurance Company of Wisconsin
The FSR of A (Excellent) has been affirmed and an ICR of "a" has been assigned to American Family Life Insurance Company.
