Your chances of finding a duplicate after running this nonstop for a year are about the same as being hit by a meteorite before finishing this sentence
The reason for the command I have is that it's more provably unique than the one that uuidgen creates. uuidgen creates a random one by default, or an unencrypted one based on time and network address if you give it the -t option.
Mine uses the mac address of the ethernet interface, the process id of the caller, and the system time down to nanosecond resolution, which is provably unique over all computers past, present, and future, subject to collisions in the cryptographic hash used, and the uniqueness of your mac address.
Warning: feel free to experiment, but be warned that the stdin of the hash is binary data at that point, which may mess up your terminal if you don't pipe it into something. If it does mess up though, just type
using tail first won't do it because tail counts from the bottom of the file. You could do it this way but I don't suggest it
tail -n X | head -n 1
prints a specific line, where X is the line number
cat WAR_AND_PEACE_By_LeoTolstoi.txt | tr -cs "[:alnum:]" "\n"| tr "[:lower:]" "[:upper:]" | sort -S16M | uniq -c |sort -nr | cat -n | head -n 30
("sort -S1G" - Linux/GNU sort only) will also do the job but as some drawbacks (caused by space/time complexity of sorting) for bigger files...
Generates a random 8-character password that can be typed using only the left hand on a QWERTY keyboard. Useful to avoid taking your hand off of the mouse, especially if your username is left-handed. Change the 8 to your length of choice, add or remove characters from the list based on your preferences or kezboard layout, etc.
This alternative cleans HISTTIMEFORMAT environment variable and calls gnuplot just after /tmp/cmds is closed, to avoid some errors.
This is useful when you got a reserved IP address like 192.168.0.100 and want to find out what IP address is used to access the Internet. You have to know a server with 'efingerd -n' configured, like www.linuxbanks.cn as above.
Other method to find out this information are for example access www.tell-my-ip.com and grep the output. The finger method have the advantage that it is easy to deploy a service like www.tell-my-ip.com, as you only need to get efingerd installed.
You'll need "feh" to set the background from the commandline. Install with "apt-get install feh"

Maple Caramelized Onions
I am a huge fan of caramelized onions and over the last little while I have been experimenting with adding different flavours to them. Some of my more recent experiments include the balsamic caramelized onions and the chipotle caramelized onions. Each of these different kinds of caramelized onions has found a home in one or more sandwiches and they have taken those sandwiches to whole new levels of greatness! For my next caramelized onions I was thinking about a batch that could be used in a breakfast sandwich and maple caramelized onions seemed like the perfect way to go!
These maple caramelized onions are really easy to make but it does take a bit of time to properly caramelize the onions and it is definitely worth it! I added the maple flavour simply by adding some maple syrup at the end when the onions are just about caramelized along with a touch of vinegar for some tang.

(from the dust jacket)
"Ultimate Sacrifice reveals a previously-unknown "Plan for a Coup in Cuba", authorized by John Kennedy and run by the President's brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy. The CIA's code name for their supporting role in the coup plan - AMWORLD - has never previously surfaced in any book, article, or government investigation, consistent with one of the most secret covert operations in our history......
And when Carlos Marcello, Santo Trafficante, and Johnny Roselli - three powerful Mafia dons who would have gone to any lengths to rid themselves of what they saw to be persecution by the mob-busting Attorney General - learned of this plan, they realized that the government would go to equally adacious lengths in order to avoid revealing it to the public."
Help Improve this Walkthrough Please send corrections, links to additional documents worth including, or other comments to email@example.com.
by Lamar Waldron and Thom HartmannPublisher: Carroll & Graf, 2005
More about the book:
Ultimate Sacrifice presents a controversial thesis regarding a Kennedy plan for a coup in Cuba and the use of that plan by the Mafia to kill JFK and force a national-security coverup (see dust jacket blurb in sidebar). To support this thesis, the book is filled with references, some of them to primary documents, though many more to secondary sources such as books and articles. These are supplemented by private interviews, including some with unnamed sources in US intelligence agencies.
The large number of secondary sources and private interviews presents some difficulty in evaluating the book, which has been received more skeptically among assassination researchers than in some mainstream sources (a highly unusual state of affairs). The Mary Ferrell Foundation is pleased to provide a walkthrough of many of the primary source materials cited in the book, some graciously provided by Lamar Waldron and others already in the MFF's collection. Hopefully these materials will help those interested in looking deeper into the matters raised in Ultimate Sacrifice.
The first three sections below present government documents provided by Lamar Waldron and cited in Ultimate Sacrifice. The remaining sections provide access to additional documents from the MFF collection which are cited in the book or relevant to it.
Some of the documents presented herein were never seen by any of the Congressional Committees investigating the intelligence agencies or the assassination of President Kennedy.
The attention focused here on Ultimate Sacrifice and the materials it cites should not be taken as an indication that the Mary Ferrell Foundation endorses the thesis expressed in the book.
Note that this walkthrough applies to the hardcover edition of the book. In the updated paperback, the authors revealed the name of the coup leader - Juan Almeida - and provided additional information.
These documents relate to the alleged coup plan discussed in the book. The documents per se are certainly not conclusive on the "C-Day" plan, which is undocumented to the extent that even the term "C-Day" is invented by the authors in the absence of an actual one. Similarly, the CIA's AMWORLD operation is not clearly defined by the documents, except to the extent that it definitely involved Manuel Artime and was related to the movement of his operation to Nicaragua in 1963. However, tantalizing information in reports about Cuban exiles includes talk of a "PLAN JUDAS," the December 1 date in at least one instance, and other supportive details. Ultimately, evidence for the existence of such a coup plan relies mainly on the interviews conducted by the authors.
104-10315-10004 - BOOK DISPATCH:AMWORLD-BACKGROUND OF PROGRAM, OPERATIONAL SUPPORT, REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURAL RULES (28 Jun 1963) - Chapter 4, endnote 1. This dispatch to certain CIA station chiefs alerts them to the inception of project AMWORLD, described as a "new KUBARK [CIA] program targetted against PBRUMEN [Cuba]," involving AMBIDDY/1 (Manuel Artime). Ultimate Sacrifice describes AMWORLD as the CIA's component of the "C-Day" coup plan.
198-10004-10001 - DRAFT STATE-DEFENSE CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR A COUP IN CUBA (28 Sep 1963) - Introduction, endnote 6. This paper from Cyrus Vance to the Joint Chiefs of Staff outlines a "contingency plan" for a coup in Cuba, i.e. military support for a new Cuban government formed in the wake of a coup. Ultimate Sacrifice asserts that there was an actual coup plan set for December 1, which would have invoked this contingency plan to support it. Note: This document was not supplied by Waldron, but has been included in section 1 here due to its importance.
WAVE 8058 (23 Nov 1963) - Chapter 10, endnote 29. This cable from the CIA's JMWAVE base in Florida to CIA HQ reports on a Nov 13 meeting at the home of Harry Ruiz Williams involving other Cuban exile leaders including Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo.
IN 84804 (22 Nov 1963) - Introduction, endnote 1. This cable from JMWAVE TO HQ notes that "NASIN ALIAS HAS ASKED NAVY GUANTANAMO BASE TO PASS FOLL[OWING] MSG TO [REDACTED]." The message begins: "GENERAL UPRISING SCHEDULED FOR 1 DEC PARTICIPATING GROUPS FND, MRR, AND MID" and then provides further details.
104-10076-10088 - CABLE - FRANCISCO CHAO ATTENDED MEETING WITH MIGUEL A. CUCO LEON (6 Dec 1963) - Chapter 2, endnote 39. This cable, WAVE 8563, reports on a meeting between Francisco Chao Hermida and Miguel "Cuco" Leon, regarding "PLAN JUDAS." Leon described a meeting with Harry Ruiz Williams in Washington, where Ruiz told Leon that he (Ruiz) had been named by Robert Kennedy to lead a new Cuban republic. This cable also contains the statement that "Ruiz told Leon that he had arranged exit from PBRUMEN [Cuba] of Carlos Franqui [a Cuban journalist] with his accumulated wealth." Waldron cites a separate document (not reproduced here) which alleges a payoff to Franqui.
104-10098-10093 - DISPATCH:AMWORLD - SAFEHOUSE (31 Oct 1963) - Chapter 4, endnote 5. This CIA dispatch to the Mexico City station chief (Win Scott) confirms arrangements to have AMBIDDY-1 (Manuel Artime) arrive and be put up in a safe house, as discussed with Michael C. CHOADIN (David Phillips). From there would be effected a "dry-run, designed to test AMBIDDY-1's capability to enter and exit Mexico securely, ie, without coming to the special attention of the Mexico authorities." The dispatch is tagged with an AMWORLD designation.
104-10308-10085 - MEMO: AMWORLD (undated, 1976 or later) - see excerpt on p.799. This memo for the record from the CIA's Latin America Division Task Force summarizes information in records related to AMWORLD.
Memo from Bundy to RFK, 11-21-63. This memo from McGeorge Bundy to Robert Kennedy notes that "the Cuba problem is ready for discussion now.....we will call a meeting as soon as we can find a day when the right people are in town." According to author Lamar Waldron, the purpose of this meeting would be to give final approval for the coup plan, and would be where some of those not yet "in the know" would finally be told. This is the authors' solution to the serious problem of Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, about whom the authors admit "no evidence exists showing that Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara knew about C-Day before JFK's assassination" (p.5). David Talbot interviewed McNamara in 2005 and states in a review of Ultimate Sacrifice: "McNamara himself has firmly rejected the notion that JFK was plotting a major Cuba intervention in late 1963, in an interview I conducted with him earlier this year for a book on the Kennedy brothers" (see review at top of this page).
Also provided by Waldron was a copy of an AP article from 10 May 1963 about a "new all-out drive to unify Cuban refugees into a single powerful organization to topple the Castro regime," which also stated "Seeking to put together the junta was Enrique Ruiz Williams, a Bay of Pigs invasion veteran and friend of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy."
These documents relate to actions of associates of organized crime figures Marcello, Trafficante, and Rosselli, and their purported infiltration of the C-Day coup plan described in Ultimate Sacrifice. Note that the definition of a "mob figure" is not always clear-cut--for instance, Richard Cain is considered mob-affiliated by experts (see pg.172 of HSCA Vol X), but also worked in the Sheriff's Office of Cook County. Also, the book's text provides a more nuanced view of the plotters than just "mafia dons," discussing the alleged involvement of CIA officer David Morales, former FBI agent Guy Banister, and David Ferrie.
180-10145-10211 (undated) - Chapter 33, endnote 6. This document, from the CIA Segregated Collection, notes in paragraph E a confidential informant report that Cuban exile leader Tony Varona had been in Chicago in July of 1963, and had received a $200,000 contribution from Mob figures including Sam Giancana.
Process Sheet for OO/C Collections (undated) - Chapter 22, endnote 50. This process sheet from Richard Cain's file, routed to Sam Halpern (Special Affairs Staff) and Jane Roman (Counterintelligence) shows that Cain was the contact for subject: "Cuban Exiles' Interest in Purchasing Arms/Financial Contribution from Chicago Underworld" (see previous document).
104-10308-10080 - MEMO: AMWORLD OPERATION (undated) - Chapter 49, endnote 21. This set of summaries of AMWORLD documents, probably generated in the 1970s, includes one summary which states: "Rumors of Mafia support of AMWORLD had long pervaded the AMWORLD organization. ARTIME claimed to have been contacted in the past by the Mafia for the sale of arms." It also notes generally that in regard to Artime and the MRR organization: "Operations against Cuba were tentatively scheduled for December 1963, but most of the strikes took place in November 1963." This doesn't seem to fit perfectly with the notion of a planned Dec 1 coup.
Memo from Legal Attache, Havana to Director, FBI (31 Jul 1959) - Chapter 31, endnote 38. This FBI memo from 1959 discusses the arrest of John Martino, who before his death confessed to involvement in the JFK assassination. This memo notes that "According to Dr. ESTEVEZ, MARTINO was a close friend of many former members of the Batista government, such as ESTEBAN VENTURA, ROLANDO MASFERRER.....and of many American gamblers such as SANTOS TRAFFICANTE..."
Commission Document 657 (15 Feb 1964) - Chapter 22, endnote 39. Warren Commission Document 657 is an FBI memo concerning an interview with John Martino, who stated "he was quoted correctly in the statement that his sources informed him that President Kennedy was engaged in a plot to overthrow the Castro regime by preparing another invasion attempt against Cuba."
The third set of documents provided by author Lamar Waldron relates to the cover-up following JFK's assassination. The book includes more information on plots to kill Kennedy in Chicago and Tampa. See the following related section of documents related to Abraham Bolden, the Chicago Secret Service agent arrested on the eve of his appearance before the Warren Commission.
NLK-78-473: Status Report on Assigned Contingency Papers (12 Nov 1963) - Chapter 55, endnote 14. This pre-assassination document discusses the conclusions of a Subcommittee on Cuban Subversion assigned to prepare contingency plans to counter possible actions by Castro. One of these possible actions to be planned for was "Attempts at kidnapping or assassination of American officials and/or citizens.
Affidavit of Mr. David Powers (18 May 1964) - Acknowledgements, p. 902. This version of Powers' affidavit to the Warren Commission, unlike the one printed in the WC volumes, features the signature of WC staffer Arlen Specter. As noted in O'Neill's book Man of the House, Powers told House Speaker Tip O'Neill that he and Kenneth O'Donnell both knew that shots came from the grassy knoll in front of the limo, but O'Donnell said they "testified the way they wanted me to." Co-author Thom Hartmann also interviewed Powers for the book and was told the same story (see video clip in sidebar). According to Waldron, Kennedy aide and confidant Powers was not aware of the purported C-Day plan.
FBI Memo: Brennan-Papich (4 Feb 1964). This internal FBI memo from early 1964 notes a "discreet" check with CIA concerning Operation Judas, and quotes a CIA official (name redacted) as stating that "Cuban exiles in the U.S. could have such plans and have seen fit not to inform CIA. This appears to be a case of the CIA lying to the FBI. The CIA official added that the agency would "appreciate receiving from the Bureau any additional information...concerning Operation Judas."
Letter from Martin Waldron of New York Times to New Orleans Police Lt. Marvin Leonard (21 Nov 1966) - Chapter 61, endnote 43. The New York Times in late 1966 was capable of asking detailed and relevant questions about the JFK assassination in internal investigations, something the organization has not done in print. Many of these questions relate to David Ferrie, who had recently become of interest to New Orleans DA Jim Garrison. Note: Martin Waldron is no relation to Lamar Waldron.
Lamar Waldron also supplied copies of four newspaper articles, not reproduced here:
These documents tell some of the story of Abraham Bolden, the Secret Service agent arrested just prior to appearing before the Warren Commission. Ultimate Sacrifice concludes that Bolden was framed by Richard Cain, a mob-affiliated sheriff's deputy for Cook County.
Commission Document 997: Letterhead Memorandum of 25 May 1964 re: Abraham Bolden Interview. This letter describes an FBI interview of Bolden prior to his planned appearance before the Warren Commission.
FBI Memo from Rosen to Belmont of 22 May 1964. This memo notes Bolden's arrest on 19 May 1964 on charges of attempting to sell a government report and Bolden's claim that he was being framed, and discusses a call from Howard Willens of the Warren Commission staff. See also a memo from Brennan to Sullivan of the same day.
CIA Memo on New York Times Article Entitled "Plot on Kennedy in Chicago Told. This internal memo comments on a 1967 New York Times article in which Bolden was a source for information on a Chicago plot to kill Kennedy. This memo also discusses allegations made by Richard Cain, who Ultimate Sacrifice fingers as the man responsible for framing Bolden. See also poor-quality copy of the New York Times story from CIA files.
Recent Newspaper Publicity Re Assassination of President Kennedy (12 Dec 1967) - Chapter 52, endnote 6. This CIA memo for the Director of Security discusses developments in the case of Abraham Bolden, the Secret Service agent allegedly framed for trying to expose details of the Chicago plot against JFK. This memo notes the extensive information gained from informant Richard Cain in 1963, and their dropping of him in 1967 due to an FBI investigation of Cain's "alleged relation to the Mafia."
The following documents from the MFF collections, some cited in Ultimate Sacrifice and some not, may be useful to those reading it.
198-10004-10045 - MEETING AT STATE, 4 DEC 1963 ON CUBA (undated). This memo from Alexander Haig to Joseph Califano concerns an upcoming meeting on Cuba to be held on Dec 4, less than 2 weeks after the JFK assassination. Haig writes that "...I am not as optimistic as CIA concerning a military coup which even the Soviets might support..." and later "I do not believe that the Soviets would ever support a coup under the CIA concept." These statements would seem odd for someone who has been recently involved in a coup plan, and therefore cast some doubt on the C-Day notion. Ultimate Sacrifice acknowledges the active participation of Haig and Joseph Califano on the Defense Department side of the covert action against Cuba, working with CIA's Desmond Fitzgerald, head of its Special Affairs Staff. But the book walks a very fine line regarding Haig's and Califano's knowledge of the purported C-Day plan, and so in theory only Haig's boss Cyrus Vance might have been "in the know."
198-10004-10072 - FUTURE POLICY TOWARD CUBA (1963) - Introduction, endnote 1. This State Department document notes that "We should seek to create conditions conducive to incipient rebellion to which we could then respond, and be in a position to respond with open military support ... up to the full range of military forces, to a request for assistance from any anti-Castro/Communist group or groups in Cuba which demonstrates an ability to survive, which seriously threatens the present regime, and above all, whose aims are compatible with those of the U.S." The policy document eschews an "Invasion by Cuba by US military forces." The C-Day plan described in Ultimate Sacrifice would fit with this policy.
104-10429-10231 - CABLE: MIAMI CUBAN EXILE COMMUNITY'S RUMORS OF POSSIBLE GOC INVOLVEMENT IN JFK ASSASSINATION (24 Nov 1963). Note particularly Eloy Gutierrez Menoya's statement of Nov 21 that "Something very big would happen soon that would advance the Cuban cause." Of course, this could refer to Kennedy's murder instead of to a coup against Castro.
104-10434-10283 - DISPATCH: OPERATIONAL/MIGUEL CASAS SAEZ - CUBAN IN DALLAS, TEXAS (27 Jan 1964) - Chapter 51, endnote 1. This CIA document reports the presence of a Cuban agent, Miguel Casas Saez, in Dallas on November 22, 1963. Ultimate Sacrifice describes this and related reports as part of a disinformation stream to falsely implicate Castro. If true, this is one area where the plot widens beyond "Mafia dons" and takes in their associates in CIA such as David Morales, from whose operatives some of the reports originate.
Other documents cited in Ultimate Sacrifice include the following. Note that many are cited multiple times - the endnote provided is generally for the first time a given document is cited in the book.
These reports are generally relevant and are each cited many times:
Additional documents relevant to Ultimate Sacrifice can be found in the Califano Papers, Joint Chiefs of Staff files, the Russ Holmes Work File, and Warren Commission Hearings and Exhibits, as well as other collections.

Years later, Joe's Barbershop was sold to a new owner, the name of the shop was later changed, becoming Hyde Park Hair Salon. In 2007, the Hyde Park Theatre building was sold to the University of Chicago. The entire building was vacated which caused Hyde Park Hair Salon to relocate to its current location on Blackstone.

Braves aim to clinch NL East title at Wrigley
Ex-Cub Maholm to oppose Baker, who'll make final start for Chicago
The Braves were planning to return home from their six-game road trip with their first National League East title since 2005, but a prolonged offensive drought nearly took that opportunity out of their complete control. With Atlanta's magic number down to two thanks to Wednesday night's emotional 5-2 win over the Nationals, and with Jason Heyward back in the lineup, the Braves can celebrate on Wrigley Field this weekend.
The Braves activated Heyward from the disabled list Friday morning and slotted him atop the order for Friday afternoon's series opener against the Cubs, his first game since his jaw was fractured on Aug. 21 at Citi Field. He faced live pitching Wednesday for the first time in three weeks and reported to work Friday ready to go.
Having Heyward atop the lineup could be a big boost for Atlanta, as the club took off when he hit .345 in 23 games after being placed in the leadoff spot on July 27.
Left-hander Paul Maholm will face his former team as the Braves open a three-game set against the Cubs. Maholm, who spent the first half of 2012 with the Cubs before coming to Atlanta at the non-waiver Trade Deadline, will be making his first start since Sept. 8 after the Braves skipped his spot in the rotation to examine lingering elbow discomfort.
A contrast MRI exam last Thursday revealed no structural damage in Maholm's left elbow, which had begun bothering him before his Aug. 28 start against Cleveland. Pitching through pain in his last three starts, Maholm has helped trim his less-than-stellar numbers with a 3.18 ERA and 10 strikeouts in his last 17 innings.
"Maybe I need something bothering me to pitch good," Maholm joked on Sunday.
A loss by the Nationals in their four-game series with the Marlins -- which started Thursday night -- would secure a playoff spot for the Braves and enable them to clinch the NL East outright with their next victory.
The Cubs went to a six-man rotation for two turns starting last week in order to get a better look at 32-year-old right-hander Scott Baker, who will be making his third and final scheduled start of the season. After impressive outings in his first two starts since returning from April 2012 Tommy John surgery -- including six innings of one-run ball last Saturday against the Pirates -- Baker has one last chance to make an impression before he hits free agency this offseason.
"I felt at this point in the season, as much as I'm ready to have a good, normal productive offseason, I feel I'm getting stronger," Baker said Thursday. "I think that's a good sign. We'll just have to see where it lands me. I do feel like I'm not as much of a question mark as maybe I was going into this season. I feel better about going into next season."
Baker is signed to a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the Cubs, and he does not have an option for 2014, making Friday a crucial opportunity to show the progress of his recovery from Tommy John to the entire league.
Braves: Gonzalez, Wood ejected • Gonzalez and rookie starter Alex Wood were ejected in the fifth inning of Wednesday night's loss for arguing balls and strikes with home-plate umpire CB Bucknor. The Braves took issue with Bucknor's strike zone after Wood issued a bases-loaded walk to Jayson Werth to bring home the first run of the game.
• Shortstop Andrelton Simmons was left out of Wednesday's starting lineup after dealing with a stiff neck throughout Tuesday's doubleheader, although he entered as a pinch-runner for Evan Gattis in the seventh inning and lined out to right field in the ninth. Gonzalez said the ailment did not influence Simmons' game-ending error in Tuesday's Game 1, when he let a Denard Span grounder roll between his legs.

Sign of the Rat – Illustrated Action Thriller
As a veteran adventurer who loves Asian destinations, my reading selections are usually travel diaries – with the occasional novel thrown into my bag for a fast-paced escape. Imagine my surprise when I found a book that brought to life my favorite places in Hanoi and kept me hooked on an exciting and unpredictable story. Sign of the Rat is an illustrated action thriller, with more than 60 photo-realistic drawings. The visuals looked especially stunning on an iPad (and it seems you could also download the book with Kindle for PC or enjoy a traditional paper copy). This fast-paced novel begins in Manhattan, then goes to Paris, but the majority of the story centers on North Vietnam. The main character is a thirteen-year-old archaeologist who lives up to his nickname – "Trouble." I am not a fan of children's books – yet the search behind Trouble's adventures and the vivid writing pulled me into the story for two days – and I postponed meetings just to find out "what happens next."
The Vietnam scenes begin on the streets of Hanoi, in the tropical humidity of downtown. The prose captures the author's experiences, a chaos of energy, with motorbikes, cyclos and trucks all jockeying for the next open space in traffic. Teens on scooters wearing the latest designer shades contrast with traditional street vendors in cone hats and linen pajamas. The smells of fresh greens and bun cha awakened my appetite and reminded me of the vendors who use little electric fans to spread the enticing smells of their grilled meats through the crowds. I particularly enjoyed the transition from modern life to the Old Quarter -
"They entered Old Town near a communal home with walls built around a huge tree. The strangler fig's leafy canopy shaded the building's roof and several more homes. The tree appeared to melt on walls like thick syrup. Strangler fig branches dropped aerial roots that over decades became thick trunks. These supplemental growths helped feed and support branches longer than a big rig tractor-trailer truck. At ground level, the tree became an impromptu Buddhist temple. Burning incense sticks jutted from knobs and tiny gift flasks of rice whiskey peppered crevices.
They walked through the tree and found Hanoi's Old Quarter to be a tangle of curving lanes, with few street signs. There was barely enough room to squeeze between tides of people. Vendors hawked rolls of cloth and plastic bags of vivid dyes, displaying more wares in the street than in their narrow shopfront. . . "
Beyond the shopkeepers, the main character Trouble and his friend Chiaro hide from their pursuers, with a tense visit to a water puppet performance. The smoke of firecrackers and carved wooden dragons in a pageant is a dazzling event, followed by a chase scene with a runaway vehicle.
Lovers of Asian cuisine will enjoy the descriptions of memorable food, from humble street dumplings to sophisticated dishes. If you have ventured across Long Bien Bridge to the small dining villas and restaurants devoted to one of Vietnam's rare specialties, then you will really enjoy the visit to a unique establishment, where dinner is caught in front of your eyes. A real surprise awaits you when you see what can be done when creatively using a particular creature for an elaborate feast. Other chapters bring alive the fusion cuisine of Hoi An, where Japanese and French influences impact delicate flavors. As a lover of traditional food, my favorite dish is cau lau, delicious pork slices in a rich broth served over hot noodles (especially with extra chili sauce and Thai basil).
Tense action and exotic clues lead to meaningful encounters in Halong Bay. Mini-islands rise from the water like craggy eggs. The evocative scenes match my impressions of junk tours, when boats pause at the shoreline of these limestone karsts. The author shares a thrilling ride past emerald green islets, and an authentic interaction at a floating village, where the characters buy provisions before racing to their final destination. I don't want to spoil your fun by revealing the ending, but it involves a transformation that will haunt you for a very long time. Sign of the Rat is a rare feat of storytelling. This thriller keeps you guessing about what will happen next while giving a true glimpse of Vietnam, as a colorful modern country that is alive with unique experiences.

- Scenes3730

- Pictures454713
- Customer Support24/7
Chavon Taylor is a girl of questionable ethnicity but undisputed blowjob proficiency. The cinnamon-skinned cutie has the kind of big natural tits that can only be borne from years feasting on a steady diet of rice and beans or collard greens and neckbones. In that case, what\'s one more bone amongst friends? For such a young lass of only 19 years old, Chavon is pretty confident in her suck-skills. Some of you might find her confidence a bit...errr...cocky. But don\'t worry, they shut her up soon enough by stuffing her face with the very thing she loves. It\'s hard to talk smack when you\'ve got a cock lodged in your throat (trust me, I know). However, it turns out that Chavon had a right to be a little conceited about her dick diving. The girl gives good brain like a surgeon. She sucks so hard her cheeks cave in and there were times when I thought she was seconds away from blowing chunks on his dick. Never let it be said that I don\'t give praise where it\'s due. This teenage deep-throater has at least one skill she can take to the bank!

MackieHairGreyDry HairCurly HairThis Is A MiracleFirst of all, Folica sent the products fast, and the price is great. This conditioner is the BEST I HAVE EVERY USED. I live in a desert and I am older so my hair gets super dried out. This conditioner (I also used the shampoo) left my hair soooo soft I couldn't believe it. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to moisturize and soften their hair.posted Nov 22, 2010Link to this post
JessikNew YorkHairDark BrownNormal HairFine or Thin HairGreat Product!I forgot to write about the smell! The smell is INCREDIBLE!posted Aug 22, 2010Link to this post
JessikaNew YorkHairDark BrownNormal HairFine or Thin HairGreat Product!I bought this conditioner while on vacation in LA because with the beach + sun + hair straightener, my hair started feeling like hay!
It's a bit pricey but definitely worth it (plus, you don't need to use a lot, so it lasts long!). After using it my hair is super soft and manageable and it looks and feels great for 2-3 days until I wash it again. Only reason why I'm rating it 4 stars and not 5 is that I always have to be careful that the product doesn't touch my scalp, otherwise my roots become greasy in like a day!posted Aug 22, 2010Link to this post -
Elisabeth B.Murray, KYHairDark BrownDry HairThick or Coarse Hair"...i Did Not Get The Results I Expected...."NO!! I did NOT get the reaults I expected, I got more than i thought possible with this product! It's truly the most amazing product I have ever put in my hair. I have very very thick coarse hair, very frizzy dry and not stright nor curly-so you can only imagine how that is....but when I was going to cosmetology school I tried Davines for the first time....I had actually never even heard of it-but I was willing to try whatever might work. The results are astonishing! Wow- my hair has never been so easy to flat iron, and smooth out the frizz! All I used was the shampoo and conditioner, none of the styling products and my hair was beautiful. I haven't gotten to use this product in 5 years , because no salon around here carries it, so when I decided to look it up on the internet I was so glad I could find it, and tell everyone how awesome it is.
Also, in regards to what someone else wrote about the packaging-that was my favorite part! I think it looks very earthy and it's simple and to the point-they don't try to "dress up " the labels and bottles, they just want to sell a great product!
So, GREAT work Davines! -Elisabethposted Aug 20, 2010Link to this post -
CarolynWIThe Best!This is by far the best haircare line I have ever used, I am a licensed hairsylist, I have used, and sold Davine's on a daily basis to my clients who loved this line. Momo conditioner is great for clients with curly hair that need hydration, buy it! you will love this line.posted Mar 10, 2010Link to this post
BonnieAugusta, GA USAWorst Professional Product Ever!i am a hairstylist 10 years in the business. i have used inumerable brands of products over the years. the salon i currently work at decided to switch from Pureology (which i love for the quality, concentration and ingreidients in the products and pricepoint and value) Davines was sapposed to be more "exclusive" my co-workers and i found it to be cheap packaging, with rediculous names. its designed by a chemist, not a hairstylist, so the packaging is very unuserfriendly (some containers are glass! (so unsafe) and the conditioners come in a tub/jar, with no pump/squeeze top! the products themselves have very little to offer on variety, the are very outdated. the shampoo doesnt lather and all leave the hair feeling dry like if you had washed your hair with dawn dishsoap! i think the grocery store brands like suave, white rain and flex are better! and its so overpriced for the quality! its the worst product all round i have ever used!posted Feb 9, 2010Link to this post
JessicaDes Moines, IowaDavines ConditionersI also have tried MANY products, and have found this conditioner and the leave-in mist to be the best I have ever come across. Unfortunately its hard for me to find, since the salon that sold it locally is now closed. I have long, thick blonde hair that has some natural curl so I usually blow-dry it straight. This stuff makes it very soft, shiny, and manageable.posted Jan 29, 2009Link to this post
DisappointedOklahomaOk But Not Worth $20I thought this product made my hair a little softer and a little shinier but I did not really get the results I was seeking. My hair was still dry and a little frizzy. My advice dont waste your $20.posted Aug 31, 2008Link to this post
TrishIdahoDavines Momo Revitalizing Cream ConditionerI love this product!! It is better than anything I have ever used. I have dark hair that has been bleached and this product has put moisture back in it, so that it doesnt look like straw. I have used many things and this is the best!!!posted Nov 1, 2007Link to this post
MartiVancouver, BC, CanadaAt Last, A Conditioner That Works!I have tried over fifty different conditioners for my long, straight, thick, blonde sun and salt-water exposed hair, to no avail -- until I tried Momo. I had never been able to comafter using Momo as directed. For once, a comb slips straight through without a snag or a tangle. Momo left my hair shiny, sleek, and healthy, and I used just a fraction of what I normally need with other conditioners on my thirsty hair. Great product for my type of hair!posted Jun 2, 2007Link to this post

Great summer to fall sweater!
This is an awesome sweater. I bought it in orange and black. It washes great and even though it says dry flat- I threw it in the dryer and it was totally fine.
It doesnt shrink or stretch too much. Fits perfect! The buttons on the sleeves was what caught my attention. Need more colors though!! Love it!!

Perfect light cardigan
I used this cardigan all summer, it was perfect for when the office gets a little cool. In the winter I'll wear it a jacket for extra warmth. I have washed it once on delicate cycle with Woolite and it held up well.
September 4, 2013
great go with everything cardi
This is the perfect cardi to throw on with everything. It is very lightweight, which makes it perfect for summer. I would suggest though since it is sort of delicate, washing it by hand or in a lingerie bag.
September 2, 2013
Love it
The sweater is a good fit. I brought one in black also.

Not my cup of tea
I didn't like this sweater at all. The one I received appeared a little faded. The material was extremely thin. I knew after one wash that would be the end of it. I will be sending it back!

Jeanne McAdara-Berkowitz received her Ph.D. in macromolecular and cellular structure and chemistry from the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif. She did a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, Los Angeles, Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and then joined FischerHealth Strategic Communications. After three years at the agency, Jeanne founded Biolexica, a communications consultancy specializing in the health sciences.
From the moment my parents gave me my first microscope, I never imagined I'd grow up to become anything other than a scientist. I designed my entire scholastic trajectory with that goal in mind, and I never questioned my plan until I was well into my Ph.D. candidacy. Despite a growing discontent with bench science, I managed to complete my thesis work and even did a postdoctoral fellowship. But even wonderful mentors, great co-workers and interesting projects couldn't keep my heart in the laboratory. I eventually made the decision— one that was absolutely devastating at the time— to begin looking for a new career.
Today, I am a professional science and medical writer and communications strategist, and I couldn't be happier. I work on a variety of communications projects, from media relations, marketing and Web sites, to deeply technical projects like helping researchers turn clinical studies into journal manuscripts. It's interesting, varied and fast-paced work that is intellectually challenging, both scientifically and from a business standpoint.
Making the decision to leave the lab bench might have been the hardest part of my career transition, but the next hardest part was figuring out what to do and how to get there.
The path that led me from unhappy lab researcher to successful consultant may seem like random coincidences and luck. But, over the years, I've found the common theme among most of the "alternative career" crowd is that everyone's career history is a seemingly random amalgamation of network connections, referrals and opportunities that came together in the end. We all created environments that fostered connections and remained vigilant, so we recognized opportunities when they presented themselves.
For example, in the midst of my postdoc, when the angst of not knowing what to do with my life was at its peak, a friend who was a technician in my graduate school lab got a freelance gig writing for a magazine aimed at lab scientists. He put in a word with the editor, who then gave me a trial assignment. I was terrified. What did I know about writing an article? I probably worked harder on that 500-word product review than I have on anything since. But, that first assignment led to more writing work, and it also gave me a pretty good idea that, whatever I decided to do, I wanted writing to be a part of it.
There aren't any comments on this item yet. Tell us what you think!
Thank you for the inspiring story! I am a senior research specialist, M.S., in a human genetics lab. I have had this pull in the last 6 months that I should be doing something else, something more. I enjoy bench work,but I am starting to feel limited in my position. I really enjoy writing and solving problems, but I don't know what I would be good at, besides what I do already. Next year will be my year for landing a career that pays me what I'm worth, respects my work and stretch my intellectual abilities, no matter what I choose. Thanks again!
