"Child Needs an Editor"
I gave this book four stars because I love the Reacher series and Lee Child and I'm glad there's another book. However . . . this novel is badly in need of editing. There are numerous interminable conversations that recap information we already know. I actually carried on conversations with other people while listening to parts of this book with one earbud in, just waiting for something to happen.
As usual, Reacher kicks the bad-guys around, and there are a couple of satisfying twists, and plenty of national and international intrigue. The evildoer is very evil, the stakes very high, and the conclusion ties up loose ends. But I get the sense that Child was just going through the motions, trying to keep a best-selling character alive and fill up a few hundred pages, without really feeling it. Usually I'm at the edge of my seat with the Reacher books. This time, I could have used a fast-forward function.
If you're new to Child and Reacher, pick one of the earlier books, like "The Killing Floor", to start with.

Humorist's Ohio Home On National Register Of Historic Places
The suburban ranch-style home in Ohio where humor writer Erma Bombeck launched her nationally syndicated column has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Listen to the Story
The few animals to survive the Zanesville exotic animal farm fiasco last week won't be heading back to the farm; at least not yet. On Thursday state regulators issued a last-minute order after Marian Thompson, widow of the suicidal owner, announced that she would reclaim the surviving animals from the Columbus Zoo.
The order, which calls for the animals to be quarantined, was good news for neighbor Melody Greiner who lives a quarter-mile from the Thompson farm. Greiner said she's glad that the six animals won't be returning to Zanesville.
"Due to the whole situation of what had happened, I think those animals should stay at the zoo with Jack Hanna and get the proper care, get thoroughly checked out and then check out the situation over here,†Greiner said. "I don't feel they should come back here. If what you hear, the rumors, that they weren't under really good conditions here, they should be where they're at right now at the zoo.â€
The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium says it was notified that Marian Thompson was going to pick up the animals: three leopards, two monkeys and a young grizzly that had been cared for by the zoo since last week.
But before Thompson could reclaim the six, state officials issued the quarantine order. Erica Pitchford is an Agriculture Department spokeswoman.
"Due to the conditions that the animals were kept in – we've been out there and we've seen the property – we do have reason to believe that there could be exposure to several different infectious diseases,†Pitchford said.
The order is in effect indefinitely and prohibits the Columbus Zoo from moving or releasing the animals to their owner until they are determined to no longer be a potential disease threat. Dale Schmidt is the zoo's director.
"In the foremost of our heart is the welfare of these animals and we want to make certain that they go to facilities that are up to standards so that they have the best possible care such as we're giving them here,†Schmidt said.

So, now some portion of my UI is not displayed on machines with above mentioned resolutions.

Is there any way to specify the x,y co-ordinates in percentage?

Its summertime in the south. Granted i'm not in the DEEP south, but, it's starting to get a little warmish around here. I have to air conditioning other than fans & all the windows open at night. I do however have a great big basement that usually stays 56-60 in the summer. Daytime temps outside are approaching 80 and indoor temps up to 95 are on the way. Now heres the question: With my basement temp, is it going to be possible to lager beer in my basement over the summer? Or heck, is 60 enough for ales?
Excuse the typing, i started my memorial day celebration a little early!!!!!
Appreciate it.
60°F is PERFECT for most ales.
you can make hefeweizens, steam beers, cream ales, and anything you want with nottingham.
you've got a better deal than me, my friend
Well, I think the problem has been solved by the Craigslist gods. Picked myself up a Kenmore 23 today. 67X26X32 on the INSIDE!!!! Now all I need is a temp controller & I think I may be on my way to lagering some fine beers.
DeathBrewer: I thought 60 might be on the cool side, but I reckon its full speed ahead in the basement for summer.
I appreciate it. *I just had to brag about my CL SCORE!!!**

Product managers, designers, developers, and even clients can now work together in the same tool to quickly iterate over wireframes, before writing code.

If Solis can get down to about 220-230 he'd have the best chance.
Realistically? I'd probably go with someone like David Price or Seth Mitchell. David Price because of his amateur experience and style. He still needs some time though.
Seth Mitchell because he's the same size as Wlad and he'd be able to put real pressure if he gets on the inside. Getting past that Wladimir jab would be tough, but if he can find a way to do it, he'd have a solid chance at outworking Wlad to a UD win.

Prior to 2016/17 none! If Wlad will be still active Price and maybe Mitchell would have a decent chance.
Wlad is just too good for the rest of division. Vitali will retire in 1 year tops and other than Haye none has even remote chance of beating him at the moment.

Vitali is 41 now & now playing politics - Haye might have a decent shot.
Boystov maybe, in the next couple of years against Wlad - very heavy short puncher, & if he can close the distance...
David Price maybe sometime down the track.

Wlad has those belts on lockdown he's far to skilled for the rest of the pack. His chin could always get tagged but he is a master of defending it.
Vitali is ready to be taken by a few of the young hungry guys coming through. Vitali is a very realistic target to be taken out of the two brothers
Boooooomb Squad
David Price, in 12-18 months
Bigger than them, in shape, ramrod jab and legit one punch ko power
He'd beat anyone else in the division today and will take over from the klitschko brothers and continue the trend of dominant, classy and decent heavyweight champs

I had never done a travel tour before so I wasn't sure what to expect. Whatever expectations I did have however were exceeded by the quality of the tour. Vicky was an awesome tour leader and the group itself cultivated some great conversations and social activities.

Oak Creek - A man is who facing his third drunken driving arrest was captured by police after he attempted to flee during a traffic stop Jan. 12.
According to Oak Creek police reports:
The driver, a 30-year-old Oak Creek man, and his passenger both ran off after police pulled their car over in the 4100 block of East Studio Lane about 2:40 a.m. Jan 12. A foot chase ensued and police took both the driver and the passenger, a 37-year-old Oak Creek man, into custody a short time later.
The driver was arrested for third-offense drunken driving and third-offense driving with a revoked license. He also was cited for possession of marijuana after police found an orange pill bottle containing THC in the center console of his car during the arrest search. The passenger was arrested for resisting/obstructing an officer.
The driver was scheduled to appear in the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office this week.

Fall Bear
Hi everyone! Just decorated my chainsaw carved bear for fall. I had showed him before when I shared the birdhouse Jeanne had made for us for the Garden Junk Secret Santa Exchange. My bear's name is Bart...he was gifted to my by a student and his family when they were moving to California and couldn't take him with them. Bart sits at the entrance to our road into our properety. I've had him for years and love decorating him for the holidays and seasons. This year, I added the shovel and rake head from my junk tool collection. HAPPY FALL! Bear Hugs! Kirk
Ahhh, I hope Bart didn't eat the former own of that hat! Looks a bit too small for him...so hoping the owner was a fast runner!!!
Bart's vignette is waa-a-a-y CUTE! Love the pumpkins, the old tools you added & that cute signage & cheerful sunflower! Of course, I'm honored to be part of the vignette with the bdhouse & love how you made it your own...great decor & the bear just "tops" it off! TFS! Jeanne S.
Kirk everything looks great, just wondering what old Bart would look like with an old Park Ranger Hat on, you know the old pointed ones, we would call it a Mountie hat here. The Boy Scouts used to wear them as well.
My son who is now 37 always wanted one,did not have them when he was in scouting. Found one at a second hand store last year.
Bet everyone would stand at attention if old Bart had one on, may even get a salute. LOL
Thanks Jeanne and Betty! Your comments made my evening!
Betty, now I have to find one of those hats!!!! What a great idea! Living in the woods, he would look GREAT with a Park Ranger hat on. (Of course, I would have to spray it with critter repellent! Notice Bart's hat? The squirrels attacked it! LOL Had to spray it! Once I left my downed coat on our porch, and the squirrels destroyed it! Bad squirrels! LOL)
Bear Hugs! Kirk
He looks good! Bet your kids used to yell"we're home" every time they caught sight of Bart!! Great way for friends to find your house!! Love the big sunflower!! Birdhouse & Welcome sign with pumpkins give it all a very fall feel!! It was 108 today, not exactly fall here, supposed to be hotter tomorrow! Jan
The bear is so perfect.............Lucky you that he had to get left behind! Love the sign, the sunflower and old tools. His hat is perfect for the season. I see a Santa hat coming and then you will have to be on the look-out for a ranger hat....how cute that would be!! HAPPY FALL
Here's a past picture of Bart around Halloween. "Witchy Poo"! :o) The birds attacked the rafia on the "Spider Cider" sign. LOL I placed battery votives in the Jack-o-lanterns. Looks spooky at night. The little Jack-o-lantern in front seems out of place. Our daughter placed it there, and who can argue with cuteness! LOL I thought I should buy a cauldron this year...what should I put in it? Bear Hugs! Kirk
For a cauldron I did at work (hospital lobby)a few years ago I took 3 bricks, red cellopane with lights inside in between bricks (for fire), large old blue and white canning pot with lights inside under green cellophane (for bubbling green) added a small skull. Went back next day and the physiotherapist had added partial skeleton lifesize skull and arms, one arm resting on side of pot with fingers holding on to it. Looked as though he was trying to crawl out. Made my day.
Oh what fun. Bart could be a wizard with a gazing ball in the cauldron add a small light inside the pot to make it glow, or pumpkin innards (seeds and stringy pulp). Dressed as a gardener he could have a small evergreen in the cauldron decorated with small pkg of dried pumpkin seeds as treats. One I like is just put a hat in the cauldron, the rest is your imagination. Any hat would do (but ranger hat would be perfect).LOL Sorry Have fun
I just love this time of year & trying to decorate for fall & Halloween!! Your buddy, Bart, has to be a treat for anyone that drives by! We would never be able to have something like that here. If the squirrels didn't destroy it all, then vandals would. I will live vicariously through you then! Keep up the fun (if the squirrels let you)
Kirk, that is un-BEAR-ably cute!!!!!! That is one of those outdoor vignettes that I always hafta stop and take a picture of!!! You done a great job placing everything. I love Bart and I agree, the Mountie hat would be a hoot!! I love the sunflower,the pumpkins and the birdhouse from Ms. Jeanne just TOPS it all off, too! Very wonderful eye candy!!!

Dick Harmon: Refusing to lose: Robbie Bosco, BYU triumphed over adversity in 1984 Holiday Bowl
Mark Philbrick, BYU,
The framed photo hung in George Curtis' office for decades. The former head football trainer for BYU had it situated in the middle of a wall. The image showed Curtis at the side of Robbie Bosco, helping him off the field in the first quarter of the Holiday Bowl on the night of Dec. 21, 1984.
This is the 30-year anniversary of that 1984 team's exploits — the undefeated season, bowl-game triumph and eventual national championship. Festivities are scheduled for the Houston game on Sept. 11 at LaVell Edwards Stadium to remember those accomplishments.
Curtis, now retired, cannot speak due to a disease called supranuclear progressive palsy. That night, he was volunteering away from his main job with the Los Angeles Express of the USFL, a nine-iron away from where he'd made a career at Santa Ana Community College in Orange County, California. He would become BYU's head trainer the next year. Two other BYU trainers who worked furiously on Bosco for half an hour, Marv Roberson and Ollie Julkunen, have both passed away.
Bosco's ankle injury in that final game of an undefeated season could have turned the Cougars upside down with three quarters to play. But it didn't. Blaine Fowler came in for brief relief and Bosco returned and hobbled his way to a 24-17 comeback victory over Michigan to force a vote for No. 1 from Associated Press and UPI voters.
I asked Bosco and Fowler what went through their minds that night when Curtis helped Bosco limp off that field and into the locker room, a moment captured by that iconic photograph.
"I just couldn't believe this was happening to me," said Bosco. "It was the most important game of the year and the potential of not being out there with my teammates and not knowing how serious the injury was. As I went up the ramp to the training room, I began to think just how quick could I get back out there."
Medical personnel examined Bosco and nothing sounded that serious. "I asked them if I went back out there and played, would it do more damage and jeopardize my career. Dr. Brent Pratley and the trainers told me it wouldn't. I decided right there to return to the game. Trainers re-taped my knee and my ankle. It was my ankle that hurt the most. It was a high-ankle sprain, but my thoughts were to get back out there. People in the tunnel were relaying to me what was going out there on the field and it was nothing bad."
As Bosco made a re-entry from the tunnel onto the field, he remembers a kind of quietness as eyes of fans in a packed Jack Murphy Stadium seemingly were all on him. Then a loud noise erupted. Bosco felt an immediate surge of adrenalin and emotion as he walked onto the sideline and field. After a few warm-up passes, he felt extreme pain and doubted he could perform. But he made up his mind and told quarterbacks coach Mike Holmgren he was ready to return.
"Are you sure?" Holmgren asked.
"I'm going back in," said Bosco. And with that, he just went on the field where he and center Trevor Matich switched to a shotgun formation, something they'd never practiced that season. "Trevor's first hike hit me right in the stomach and I wasn't ready for it. This was all new, and I was in the middle of calling an audible when he hiked the ball. Fortunately, I got ahold of the ball and I hit Kelly Smith on a hot route."
It didn't hurt Bosco to run forward, but he had a lot of pain when he tried to move laterally or to back-peddle. Michigan defensive linemen sensed Bosco's limitations and began blitzing him almost every play. Michigan led 17-10 in the fourth quarter on a field goal.
Bosco's game-tying touchdown pass to Glen Kozlowski in the final quarter capped a 70-yard drive that saw him hit seven different receivers. His game-winning TD pass came on a scramble and strike to Smith.

Why it ALWAYS rains on our royal parades... but could scientists put a stop to the bank holiday downpours?
Rain in June! How very British! Those damp souls lining the banks of the Thames in London and partying across the country yesterday should have predicted the awful weather. It always seems to rain in June when the sun should be shining — especially if we have a special event.
Bank holidays, in particular, always seem to be blighted. Indeed, the Silver Jubilee celebrations took place during one of the coldest and wettest Junes of the 20th century.
Back then, in 1977, the royal bank holiday weekend came after a long, fine spell of weather in late May — exactly as happened this year.
Traditional bad luck: Back in 1977, the Monday of Silver Jubilee holiday weekend was the windiest day of the entire summer
History repeating itself: The Queen and Prince Phillip were forced to rave the elements yesterday as London was hit by heavy rainfall
It is all so predictable that one begins to ask: isn't there something we can do about it? After all we have long known the culprit: it is always a deep weather depression following a circuitous route across the British Isles during much of the weekend, bringing widespread rain and gales and setting everyone shivering in their party outfits.
Some scientists have come up with an explanation for why the weather seems to be worse at weekends. Research has shown that it actually does rain more at weekends than weekdays because of pollution that builds up over the week from exhaust fumes and industrial pollution. These tiny particles in the atmosphere help water droplets form, which, in turn, develop into clouds.
The Met Office agrees, saying that overcast conditions appear more frequently on a Friday afternoon, Saturday or Sunday. Statistically, Tuesday is the driest day of the week.

Eager royalists, young and old, use any means possible to protect themselves from the downpour last night as thousands flocked to see the Jubilee concert at the Palace
Back in 1977, the Monday of Silver Jubilee holiday weekend was the windiest day of the entire summer, with peak gusts of 50mph along the Channel coast. The squally winds and rough seas disabled several craft in Channel waters, and more than 20 people had to be rescued by the coastguard.
It was even cold enough for snow to fall — and to settle — over the slopes of the Scottish mountains and the peaks in the Lake District and Snowdonia.
It was similarly drab for the Queen's Coronation in 1953, when the temperature barely climbed above 10c.
Undeterred: Seen here at her Silver Jubilee celebrations, Elizabeth seems not to be bothered by a little rain
Just a lucky break: Many thought the curse of bad weather had ended for our royal family when William and Kate enjoyed sunshine on the day of their weather
Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, too, was marred by dramatic hailstorms, thunder and lightning during midsummer week in 1897.

George VI was crowned on a grey and cold day in May 1937, as was George V in June 1911. He noted in his diary afterwards: 'It was overcast and cloudy with slight showers and a strongish cool breeze, but better for the people than great heat.'
All in all, rain on summer weekends seems to be so inevitable that perhaps we should think about changing the calendar so that we ditch bank holiday Mondays and have bank holiday Tuesdays or Wednesdays instead.
Or change the weather itself and be guaranteed to see not a spot of rain. But, change the weather? Surely that's not possible?
Well, yes it is, according to the Chinese who have long tried to play God in this respect — and have sometimes been successful.
Most of the time they 'seed' clouds by injecting special chemicals into the atmosphere to produce rain and allay droughts for farmers, and damp down the dust in polluted Beijing.
In particular, as the last nation to host the Olympics in 2008, they were desperate not to have it rain on their particular parade. Having spent £30 billion on remaking the infrastructure of the capital to ensure it was in tip-top order for overseas visitors flocking to the Games, it seemed a negligible extra expense to pour £75 million into trying to stave off the rain.
The Chinese method seemed to keep the rain at bay — though, of course, no one knows for sure what would have happened if they hadn't interfered with nature and whether the sun would have shone anyway.
Indeed, China spends this amount every year employing 50,000 people in the rainmaking and rain prevention industry.
For the most part this consists of anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers blasting the sky with silver iodide, hoping to make the rain pour out of the clouds in places where rain is needed, so it doesn't fall where it isn't.
In 2009, however, they famously overdid it. Instead of producing pleasant showers, all of Beijing was closed down when snow fell instead in November.
It was the earliest snow the city had seen for a decade. Temperatures plunged to minus 2c, disrupting air and road travel and generally having quite the opposite from the desired effect.
Human efforts to manipulate the weather like this have a long history. Scientists have been trying to seed clouds and produce rain since the mid-Forties.
A little rain never hurt anyone: Queen Elizabeth pictured at St Katharine's Dock 9th June 1977 at her Silver Jubilee
Taking shelter: The Queen and Prince Phillip stayed mainly on the deck of the Spirit of Chartwell on Monday, braving the cold wind and rain for almost four hours
During the Vietnam War, the Americans even tried to swamp the Ho Chi Minh Trail along which the communists supplied their forces by producing torrential storms.
Changing the weather for military purposes has been banned by an international treaty since 1978, but there is no ban on trying to make things better for a national celebration.
In London, there was hopeful talk of it from some quarters before last year's Royal Wedding when, after record temperatures in early April, a cold snap was suddenly forecast with a 30 per cent risk of heavy showers.
Oh dear: Rain on summer weekends seems to be so inevitable that perhaps we should think about changing the calendar so that we ditch bank holiday Mondays
In the end, however, the sun simply shone down unaided on Prince William and his bride.
The Russians, too, boast they can guarantee success. In 2004, a Russian company called the Atmospheric Technologies Agency was hired at a cost of £20,000 to sprinkle several tons of dry ice into the clouds above St Petersburg before a huge open-air concert by Paul McCartney.
Their aim was to disperse the big cumulus clouds which had been building up over the city, a technique known as 'overseeding' in which the ice causes the water in the cloud to form into droplets too light to fall as rain.
Their efforts were successful on that occasion, and must have been on others because — according to the triumphant Russians — it has not rained on a Moscow May Day parade for decades.
So, with our unpredictable British weather, perhaps we should leave nothing to chance for our own Olympics next month. After all, £20,000 seems a relatively small amount to pay to increase the chances of clear skies.
Whatever happens, we should certainly be saving up to ensure the Queen's Platinum Jubilee is rain-free in another ten years — and hoping that by then the scientists will have perfected their sun-making techniques.

Why your Chinese sinks cost more this year.
From an article in the Chicago Tribune.
"Superte Kitchenware Co , Guangdong Dongyuan Kitchenware
Industrial Co received preliminary anti-dumping duties of 63.87
percent and 54.25 percent, respectively.
Nineteen Chinese exporters were hit with a 59.06 percent
preliminary duty. All other Chinese producers and e xporters
received a duty of 76.53 percent.
Companies are required to post bonds or cash deposits based
on the preliminary rates. That money would be refunded if a
separate agency, the U.S. International Trade Commission,
decides against the duties in a vote next year."
All of this is designed to make American companies be able to be more price competitive. So that's why Ticor and other direct importers of Chinese sinks have gone out of business or drastically raised their pricing structure.
Can you post the link to the original article. My job involves helping small companies. I'd like to post the link to my colleagues - very very interesting, and great that I can now justify the time I spend focusing on kitchens online as work-related.
Sure, here you go. There are plenty of other articles in the trade magazines as well.
Here is a link that might be useful: Sets hefty duties on Chinese stainless steel sinks
I wasn't clear what an "anit-dumping duty" was, so I looked it up. The short definition from Wikipedia:
A standard technical definition of dumping is the act of charging a lower price for the like goods in a foreign market than one charges for the same good in a domestic market for consumption in the home market of the exporter. This is often referred to as selling at less than "normal value" on the same level of trade in the ordinary course of trade. Under the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement, dumping is condemned (but is not prohibited) if it causes or threatens to cause material injury to a domestic industry in the importing country.[1]
From the website Investopedia:
Definition of 'Anti-Dumping Duty'
A protectionist tariff that a domestic government imposes on foreign imports that it believes are priced below fair market value. In the United States, anti-dumping duties are imposed by the Department of Commerce and often exceed 100%. They come into play when a foreign company is selling an item significantly below the price at which it is being produced. The logic behind anti-dumping duties is to save domestic jobs, although critics argue that this leads to higher prices for domestic consumers and reduces the competitiveness of domestic companies producing similar goods.
Personally, while I love getting a great price on things, I don't love putting Americans out of work due to foreign state sponsored price fixing, In this case China is accused of paying sink manufacturers an offset so the manufacturers can sell their products for less than it cost them to manufacture the product. The point is to bankrupt products produced elsewhere until the entire market is Chinese, at which point the price for the goods is raised as high as they care to charge.
Just to illustrate how it affects American business--
The article mentions SolarWorld. A few years ago Solarworld, a German company, invested millions in a new manufacturing facility that provided hundreds of good-paying jobs in the Portland, Oregon area. They had only been open about three years with plans for expansion when China started importing their cheap solar panels. Instead of expanding the workforce, SolarWorld had to lay off people. The duties on the imports probably saved them from closing the facility.

Dog odor in car
We inherited a car with a strong dog odor. Took it in for detailing and had it thoroughly cleaned and have tried different sprays but that odor still exists. Any ideas on how to get rid of it or is it a hopeless case?
My MIL had a skunk spray the inside of her car and the guy at the detailing place said to get the best kitty litter possible and put a pan of it in the car and it would absorb the odor. It worked for her but don't get a scented kitty litter cause then you might have the smell of both! How terrible would that be!
Otherwise, maybe just an open box of baking soda?
I once had flood water seep into the trunk of my car and as a result it developed a bad smell... a veterinarian recommended a product called OdoBan, and it worked perfectly!
That was about 7 years ago, and the trunk has been great ever since... I still have that car.
I bought it at Menard's. I think WalMart carries it, too. It was not expensive. Came in a spray bottle.
Here is a link that might be useful: OdoBan website
As a dog lover, sounds like a non-problem to me, but then if I bought a car and it smelled like someone else's dog maybe my nose would pick up on something, since I'm also a clean freak. My dog-herd smells like shampoo and sunshine and are welcome in my car anytime, but as a clean freak that fur they wear and discard on my carseats keeps them on my couches, which smell like, I suppose...dog. I offer no solutions here, but as a teacher in a high school I can offer fouler smells. No matter how good a car looks, never buy one that has routinely transported 300 lb. boys home from powerlifting competitions, nor any boys home when the school lunch involves white beans. Now how bad IS that dog smell really?

I wondered how the other manufacturers would react to the new iPad.
So far you can see the Sony Tablet S 16gb wifi only model is slashed to £299 with PC World which looks a great deal.
What other good deals are there out there on tablets?
