New Reid Bill Funds Abortion: Excludes Bipartisan Stupak-Pitts Amendment
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Last night, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and the Senate Democrats introduced a new Senate version of health care reform that includes government funding for elective abortion. The "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" authorizes the Secretary to include elective abortion in the public option and subsidize health plans in the government run exchange that cover elective abortion.
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins made the following comments:
"Senator Reid's new health bill does not include the Stupak-Pitts amendment that was designed to prevent federal funding for abortion-on-demand. Instead, he chose to include a version of Rep. Lois Capp's abortion funding language which has already been rejected by the House in favor of the Stupak-Pitts language.
"The Reid bill authorizes the Secretary of HHS to fund abortion in the public option, now called the 'community health insurance option.' The bill provides tax credits for private plans that cover abortion-on-demand, mandates plans across the country to cover abortion-on-demand and strips important conscience protections for providers who refuse to perform elective abortion.
"The Stupak-Pitts amendment adopted with 240 votes in the House would prevent federal funding for abortion or subsidies for plans that cover abortion. It also makes clear that individuals or groups are not prevented from providing coverage that includes abortion as long as federal funds are not used.
"Clearly the straightforward language of the Stupak-Pitts amendment is not what Senator Reid and his pro-abortion colleagues want. Rather they want government funding of abortion-on-demand.
"Pro-life senators, including Senators Ben Nelson and Bob Casey, must denounce the Reid abortion funding provisions and make every effort to include the Stupak-Pitts amendment in the Senate bill in order to prevent the establishment of a government funded abortion program for the first time in over three decades."

Under the J.J. Act of 2000, a person up to the age of 18 years is treated as 'child'. Same age is prescribed under the CPCR Act, 2005 as well. However when it comes to prohibition of Child Labour Act of 1986, the definition of child means a person who has not completed his fourteenth year of age. Thus, virtually there is no prohibition of child labour in case of children who are more than 14 years but less than 18 years of age. Furthermore, this Act focuses on the prohibition of employment of children in certain specified work places, which are harmful for the children, and there is no absolute prohibition. At the same time, now, RTE Act creates an obligation on the part of State to provide free and compulsory education to all children aged between 6 to 14 years. This is now the constitutional obligation as well. As right to education is made fundamental, it would, therefore, follow that as far as children up to the age of 14 years are concerned, since they are to be provided free education, there would be absolute ban/bar and prohibition from child labour.

Parambikulam: In what is considered a very rare event, a black spotted deer was sighted and photographed in the Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary.
Sanjayan Kumar, Wildlife Warden of the Parambikulam Wildlife Sanctuary in Kerala (abutting the Anaimalai Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu) said that the spotting and photographing of a black spotted deer in the wild could be the first of its kind, since so far there are no authenticated reports or photographs of black spotted deer in the wild.
This phenomenon of black coat in spotted deer is presumed to be the same as the occurrence of black (melanistic) colour variant in Black Panther or Black leopard i.e. the presence of high melanin pigmentation in the hairs and skin. As in Black Panther a close examination of the black coat of this rare photographed spotted deer also revealed that the typical spots of spotted deer are still there, but are hidden by the excess black pigmentation.
Sanjayan Kumar photographed it during one of his field visits to Parambikulam Range this Sunday.
This report of the presence of black spotted deer will definitely generate interest among Wildlife enthusiasts, Wildlife photographers, researchers etc. for further research and study on the melanistic phenomenon in spotted deer.
In general the spotted deer or Cheetal commonly inhabits Sri Lankan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Indian forests.
It is the most common deer species in Indian forests. Its skin coat is reddish fawn, marked with white spots, and the under parts are white. Its antlers, which it sheds annually, are usually three-pronged and curve in a lyre shape and might extend to 75 cm (2.5 ft).
It has a protracted breeding season, due in part to the tropical climate, and births can occur throughout the year. For this reason, males do not have their antler cycles in synchrony.
There are some fertile females at all times of the year. Males sporting hard antlers are dominant over those in velvet or those without antlers, irrespective of their size.
A Cheetal stands about 90 cm (3 ft) tall at the shoulder and masses about 85 kg and lifespan is around 20-30 years.

US scientists find evidence of ancient Martian lake
Published on Jan 21, 2013 6:11 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - A United States spacecraft orbiting Mars has provided evidence of an ancient crater lake fed by groundwater, adding further support to theories that the Red Planet may once have hosted life, Nasa said on Sunday.
Spectrometer data from Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) shows traces of carbonate and clay minerals usually formed in the presence of water at the bottom of the 2.2km deep McLaughlin Crater.
"These new observations suggest the formation of the carbonates and clay in a groundwater-fed lake within the closed basin of the crater," Nasa said of the findings, which were published in the online edition of Nature Geoscience.
"Some researchers propose the crater interior catching the water," the space agency said, adding that "the underground zone contributing the water could have been wet environments and potential habitats."

We are also now officially allowing authors to add artist names to tags/keywords and the phrase, "This track is in the style of <artist name>" to descriptions.
Please read our Notes post for more info!
Thanks for the update, I will have a read.
Awesome news about the tags too! Cheers Scott
Thanks for the clarification, Scott.
That's agreat addition, thanks for that!
That's great Are tags and words in description different in producing search results?
Good to know, thanks!
Great news, will help buyers and sellers alike
Nice to hear that
Thanks Scott!
Good thing they specified "Don't tag or identify a track as "in the style of" another AudioJungle author." or we would have had a lot of 'in the style' of <Tim McMorris> or <PinkZebra> tags.

New House: Dining Room Hutch
As you know, the dining room in our new house came with lots and lots of rich wood panelling. Since I'd decided to try living with it unpainted, I was determined to lighten the effect with painted furniture and casual, breezy drapes. If I'd gone with a wooden table, chairs, sideboard and hutch, plus all the wood panelling, the room would feel too heavy and lodge-like to me.
I started with dining furniture, found for a song on Craigslist. This hutch came as part of a whole suite including a table (with leaf), six dining chairs and an additional sideboard all for $750.
I chose this hutch not only for its great price, but because I liked the shape — especially the curvy pediment and finial at the top. The glass doors with decorative fretwork weren't bad either! Here you see it before its makeover. The CD player on the floor was well equipped with tunes to keep Sara and I going. We painted a lot!
Here's how the hutch looked post-makeover. I used white semi-gloss paint that was sort of an antique or greyed white. I didn't want it to match the walls or feel too stark and new. For fun, I used some icey-blue paint on the inside of the cabinet. Then I reattached the original hardware and loaded her up with dishes and glassware in casual stacks. I added Blue Willow plates to the wall, partly as an homage to Aerin Lauder and her East Hampton house, and partly to compensate for the fact that the hutch seemed a little short for the nine-foot ceilings. Sara and I are really happy with the result, and the way the painted furniture breaks up the wood panelling to keep things light and cheerful.
If you want to paint vintage furniture like I did, here are a few of my personal tips:
1. Lightly sand the piece (not down to the bare wood — lightly!) to improve adhesion of the paint.
2. Use a good high-adhesion primer, again to improve adhesion of the paint and to cover up the dark wood. If you're painting the piece a dark colour, you can have the primer tinted to cut down on the number of paint coats you'll need.
3. Paint furniture with interior latex semi-gloss paint (semi-gloss makes for a harder, more durable finish) using a foam roller and a soft paintbrush.
4. It's hard to avoid nicks and scuffs over time, so often I'll add a light distressing with steel wool to the edges and feet of my painted pieces. This way they have a slight amount of age and wear built in and I don't worry so much.
Good luck with all of your painting projects!

Earnings per common share was $5.36 for the fourth quarter compared to $4.28 for the same period last year.Net income for the year amounted to $257.7 million, compared to $150.3 million in 2011, resulting in earnings per common share of $11.84 compared to $6.59 in 2011."We were pleased with the strong financial performance in 2012. This capped off a year in which our organization proudly joined the rest of the world in celebrating the International Year of Co-operatives and reinforced our ongoing commitment to those values that provide a competitive advantage for us," said Kathy Bardswick, President and CEO of The Co-operators. "Fourth quarter results were positively impacted by the sale of L'Union Canadienne. In addition, we experienced strong policy growth, and Net Earned Premium increased in all core lines of business and in all regions of the country."CO-OPERATORS GENERAL'S FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (in millions of Canadian dollars except ROE, EPS and ratios) 4th quarter 4th quarter 2012 20112012 2011 YTD YTDKey financial data Direct written premium (DWP)1518.7 504.7 2,106.6 2,050.0Net earned premium (NEP)1517.7 495.2 2,016.4 1,925.1Net income114.2 91.9 257.7 150.3Total assets4,902.7 5,292.8 4,902.7 5,292.8Shareholders' equity1,440.1 1,524.2 1,440.1 1,524.2Key success indicators Direct written premium (DWP)12.8% 0.8% 2.8% 0.7%Net earned premium (NEP)14.5% 4.2% 4.7% 3.3%Earnings per share (EPS)$5.36 $4.28 $11.84 $6.59Annualized return on equity (ROE)33.5% 27.3% 19.1% 11.4%Combined ratio - excluding MYA94.1% 83.1% 95.2% 96.8%Combined ratio - including MYA93.9% 84.9% 96.4% 97.8%Minimum Capital Test (MCT)260% 259% 260% 259%1Balances exclude L'Union Canadienne for all periods presented.FOURTH QUARTER REVIEWFourth quarter DWP increased to $518.7 million, compared to $504.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. This increase relates to higher average premium across certain product lines and more vehicles in force in Ontario and the West.The combined ratio, excluding the market yield adjustment (MYA) for the quarter was 94.1%, which increased from 83.1% during the comparable period last year. Loss ratio deterioration is attributed to the combination of higher incurred but not reported reserves and lower favourable claims development compared to 2011. Eventhough we have experienced favourable claims in both quarters, the reserves released in the fourth quarter of 2011 were greater.Net investment income and gains increased by $14.9 million versus the fourth quarter of 2011. Net investment income and gains was positively impacted by $5.4 million less impairment losses compared to the same period in the prior year and realized gains were $4.6 million higher. Net investment income and gains was also positively impacted by changes in valuation of embedded derivatives in our preferred share portfolio.On October 1, 2012, we closed the sale of L'Union Canadienne, Compagnie d'assurances (L'Union Canadienne) for cash consideration of $150.0 million. Our net income includes $34.0 million relating to the gain on sale of L'Union Canadienne, after closing adjustments and tax.The Company's investment portfolio composition is conservative and the assets are high quality and well diversified. The credit quality of our bond portfolio remains high with 92.5% rated A or higher. Our equity portfolio is 83.1% weighted to Canadian stocks, with a further weighting to large financial institutions. Commercial mortgages make up 9.3% of our total invested assets, and are of high quality, with no mortgages in arrears over 60 days.ANNUAL REVIEWDWP increased 2.8% to $2,106.6 million, compared to $2,050.0 million in 2011. Improved results are primarily driven by policy and client growth which offset rate decreases in certain lines of business.NEP has increased by $91.3 million or 4.7% to $2,016.4 million. The increase is seen in all of our core lines of business and across all regions of the country.Net investment income and gains increased to $205.8 million from $157.1 million in 2011 as a result of the low interest rate environment and improvements in the equity markets. We realized net gains of $65.2 million on sale opportunities from our bond and stock portfolios. Impairment losses decreased by $23.5 million from 2011.Excluding the MYA, the combined ratio improved to 95.2% from 96.8% in 2011 due to NEP improvements which offset increased net claims and adjustment expenses. Net claims and adjustment expenses have increased 2.7% from last year, which is mainly the result of increased incurred but not reported reserves and lower favourable claims development compared to 2011. Partially offsetting these increases are decreased current accident year claims across our core lines of business.Our total assets have decreased $390.1 million from 2011, which is mainly the result of claims settlement and dividends paid on preferred and common shares in 2012.CAPITALThe Company's capital position remains strong, as the Minimum Capital Test (MCT) for Co-operators General was 260% at December 31, 2012, well above the regulatory minimum requirement of 150%. The MCT has increased from 259% at December 31, 2011 due to higher earnings offset by dividends paid on preferred and common shares and MCT calculation changes effective January 1, 2012.FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT This document may contain forward-looking statements and forward-looking information, including statements regarding the operations, objectives, strategies, financial situation and performance of Co-operators General Insurance Company.

Notwithstanding the opposition from BJP, the Defence Ministry today went ahead with the process of appointing the next army chief—Vice Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag.
The Defence Ministry sent its recommendation to the Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC) shortly after receiving the go-ahead from the Election Commission to which the matter had been referred in view of the Model Code of Conduct, it was learnt. The sources said the recommendation had only the name of 59-year-old Lt Gen Suhag, who is the seniormost among the Lt Generals. The EC cited its March 27 order which makes it clear that appointments, promotions, tenders and procurements of defence forces are not covered under the Model Code of Conduct in the ongoing elections as well as any other election in the future, sources said.
Army chief Gen Bikram Singh will retire on July 31. Traditionally, the government announces the name of services chiefs about two-three months before they retire.
Lt Gen Suhag, commissioned in the Gorkha Rifles in 1974, has a long experience in counter-insurgency operations in Jammu and Kashmir and the North East. He also took part in the IPKF operation in Sri Lanka.
In January, Lt Gen Suhag took over as the vice chief of the army, considered a precursor to his likely elevation to the top post.
In May 2012, the then chief Gen VK Singh imposed a discipline and vigilance promotion ban on Lt Gen Suhag. He was charged with "abdicating responsibility" in handling an intelligence and surveillance unit under his command in the Dimapur based 3 Corps for what was dubbed a "botched-up intelligence operation".

Gen Bikram Singh, however, revoked the ban within a week of taking over as army chief. Subsequently, the defence ministry endorsed the army chief's decision and elevated Lt Gen Suhag as the Eastern Army commander in June 2012.

Terrence stood in the center of the small, black-clad crowd, his head bowed and his hands clasped in front of him. He didn't have an umbrella, and the rain glistened on the coffee-colored skin of his shaved head. It trickled down his forehead and along his temples, and the wetness on his cheeks almost looked like tears.
The service drew to a close, the coffins were lowered into the damp earth and the mourners quickly dispersed. I wasn't sure if they were fleeing the elements or the sense of helplessness and despair that hung over the gathering. Probably both. I went to him when Terrence stood alone by the graves.
"Domino," he said, "I appreciate you being here." Stylish narrow sunglasses covered his eyes, but his head remained bowed and I didn't think he'd looked up as I approached.
"I'm sorry about your guys, Terrence. I just found out about it today."
He nodded, not at me but at the graves. "These two here were my nephews."
"Jesus, Terrence, if I'd known, maybe I could have—"
"Their moms was my favorite sister. Used to be. Now she just want to see my funeral."
"You're not responsible for this."
Terrence took off the glasses and lifted his head. There were dark circles under his eyes, and he had the look of a man on the run who knows he's all out of places to hide. "I brought them in. Thought it was the best way to keep them safe, thought I could protect them." He shook his head and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"What happened?"
"They didn't even have any juice. Mobley put a posse on them just to send me a message."
Francis Mobley ran the largest Jamaican outfit in the city. He'd been aligned with Terrence's former boss, but now he saw the outfit Terrence had inherited as a target, an opportunity to expand his territory. Mobley was brutal, but I knew the executions hadn't just been a message. The hits would have given Mobley a lot of juice and he'd be planning to use it for something even worse.
It was old-school gang warfare. With magic returning to the world in force, the stronger outfits had more juice than they knew what to do with. Back in the day it hadn't been like that. There hadn't been enough magic to go around, and the L.A. outfits fought for whatever piece of it they could get. They'd used tactics like this—one seemingly pointless act of violence feeding juice to the next—to move against their rivals. It was like a game of leapfrog played with murders.
My outfit was the strongest in the city and we didn't have to resort to those tactics to take care of business. But there was still something in it for a smaller, weaker outfit, as long as the guy calling the shots didn't let anything like conscience get in the way. I'd never heard Francis Mobley had much of a conscience.
"You're my ally, Terrence. Give the word and I'll crush that motherfucker like a bug."
"Then what, Domino? You gonna move on the Koreans? Word is they want a piece of me, too."
I hadn't known about the Koreans, but Terrence was right. As much as I liked the idea of hitting back at Mobley, he was a symptom and not the disease. Taking him out wouldn't make the problem go away. The problem was Terrence's outfit was too small and too weak to protect itself. It wouldn't survive for long—and never mind that it was weak mostly because of what I'd done to it a couple months ago. If it wasn't Mobley, someone else would move in to cull the herd. That's the way it worked, and if I put my personal feelings aside, I knew that's the way it should work. There was no room for weakness in the underworld.
"Are you ready to lay down, Terrence?"
He didn't say anything for a while. It surprised me, but maybe he was thinking about it. Getting your ass handed to you was no fun in any walk of life, but it really sucked in the underworld. I couldn't really blame him.
"No fucking way," Terrence said finally. "I ain't gonna lay down 'less someone puts me down."
"Okay, so what are you going to do about it?"
"Mobley ain't shit. He's not my problem—motherfucker's just exploiting my problem. I can hit him just like he's hitting me. I can drop bodies on his corners and put blood on his streets, but that just makes it worse. I need soldiers, Domino. It's simple as that."
"I know where you can get some."
Terrence narrowed his eyes. "Where's that, D? You can't send me muscle—that's no different than letting you hit the Jamaicans for me. I got to prove my outfit is strong enough to protect itself."
"I can't send you troops, but I could let them go if they got the idea on their own."
"Who you have in mind?"
"Simeon Wale's crew. The prick likes you a hell of a lot better than me, anyway. He'd cross if you offered him lieutenant. I'd let him."
"Simeon Wale is a bad nigger and he got juice, but I'm not sure I trust the motherfucker any more than you do. I'd be watching my back night and day if I brought him in."
"Why you think I'm letting him go? Nothing's free, Terrence. You know that. Question is, is watching your back better than lying down? I'm getting pressure. Everyone's worried. If you can't hold your ground, something else might move in that'd make the Jamaicans look friendly."
"The Turk is on you about this?"
"No, I don't even know where that son of a bitch is. He said he was going on sabbatical, left routine operational control of the outfit to the heir apparent."
Terrence laughed. "Adan's making trouble for you. My pops always said, be careful what you wish for—it might just get you."
"Your pops sounds like an asshole."
"He was, but he might have been right about that."
Adan Rashan was my boss's son. He'd been swapped out with a changeling as a baby and spent the first twenty-plus years of his life in Avalon, the fairy otherworld. A few months earlier, I'd killed the changeling and averted a war with the Seelie Court, but not before I'd fallen for the fucking guy. Now the real Adan was back and he was turning out to be a major pain in the ass. I couldn't just flip the switch and turn off the attraction, either. I didn't understand it, I didn't much like it, and I sure as hell wasn't going to make the same mistake twice.
"Adan's got no say in this. I'm still the wartime captain, you're my ally and supporting our alliances is part of my job description."
"He can still make trouble."
"No, all he can do is bitch and moan about it. He's been doing a lot of that. He can't move on you unless I give the word."
"You gonna give the word?"
"I wouldn't be here if I was ready to push you out." Even if Terrence hadn't been my ally, he'd betrayed his former boss to save my life. Maybe saving my ass hadn't been his only motive, but that kind of thing still counted for something. At least to me.
"So it got to be Wale's crew?"
I nodded. "Anyone else, it looks like I'm propping you up. This way it just looks like you're taking advantage of disloyalty in my ranks. No one will have a problem with that."
"Except Mobley. You think you can arrange a sit-down?"
I shook my head. "Not yet. Mobley thinks he has you by the short ones, Terrence. You're going to have to hurt him before you sit down."
"I can put Wale on him," he said, and laughed. "You got all this worked out, don't you? Remind me never to piss you off."
I shrugged. "It's time to play hardball. You turn Wale loose, Mobley will come to you. He'll be begging for a sit-down."
Terrence nodded and was about to respond when a sound like a snapping tree limb split the air. The sound came from behind us.
From the graves.
Terrence and I turned together, toward the sound. Splintered wood from one of the coffins lay scattered around the gravesite. As we watched, one of Terrence's nephews climbed from his shattered coffin and stood up. He staggered and then braced himself with both hands on the sides of his grave. He looked down at himself, at the dark suit his mother had buried him in, and then he looked around. His gaze landed on us, and his eyes were a dull, filmy gray. They were a dead man's eyes.
"What the fuck, Uncle T?" he said. "Why you got to put a brother in the ground?"
The kid climbed out of his hole and stumbled toward us. He seemed a little stiff. After a few jerking steps, he wobbled to a stop and fell back on his ass, his legs splayed out in front of him.
Terrence and I just looked at him.
"I feel like shit, Uncle T," the kid said. He was holding his head in both hands and craning his neck to either side. It snapped and popped like dry kindling in a fire.
"You got shot seven times, Tony," Terrence said. His voice sounded dry and harsh, like he just woke up from a hard night of drinking and too many cigars.
"Damn, Uncle T, it's Antoine, I keep telling you that. No one calls me Tony anymore."
"You got shot seven times, Tony," Terrence repeated. "One of the bullets went in your brain. They didn't even bother to dig it out when they put you on the table."
I thought it was a little more detail than the kid probably needed, but Terrence sounded like he was saying it to remind himself more than for his nephew's benefit.
Tony raised a hand to his forehead and probed the gray, puckered entry wound with his fingertips. "Why ain't I dead, Uncle T?"
Terrence didn't say anything. I didn't either—I just relaxed my vision and looked at Tony with my witch sight. Terrence had said the kid didn't have any juice, but that wasn't exactly right. Every human has a little juice in them—an aura or whatever you want to call it. I could see what was left of Tony's juice soaking into the soggy earth with the rain. It was exactly what I'd expect to see on a human body that had been dead a couple days.
I dropped the sight and looked over at Terrence. He turned to me and I shook my head.
"Tell me what you remember, Tony," he said, looking back to the kid again. He stayed where he was, about ten feet from where Tony had dropped into the mud.
"I remember all of it. I remember getting shot. We were just hanging out at the store and the Rastas rolled up on us in a black Escalade. I didn't even have time to be scared, Uncle T. I saw them roll up and then I was down."
"What else, Tony? You remember anything after that?"
"I remember everything," he said. "I remember the uniforms showing up, and later the murder police. And after, when the doctors laid me out and started cutting on me. I was awake but I couldn't move. It didn't hurt, you know, but I could feel what they were doing." The kid started crying but there were no tears. His eyes were dry and gray. "I remember the funeral. But I was lying in that fucking box and I couldn't see anything. I was able to open my eyes but all I could do was lie there and look up at the ceiling."
"Any hoodoo on him, Domino?" Terrence asked. You could use magic to raise the dead, to make a zombie out of a corpse. I even knew the spell, though I'd never used it.
I shook my head. "Nothing."
"Maybe that fairy shit?"
"No, I'd see it." When I'd killed the changeling who'd replaced Adan, I'd also taken his magic. Now I could see fairy glamour as easily as human sorcery and there was no glamour on Tony. Raising zombies wasn't exactly the Seelie Court's style, anyway.
"What you think we should do?"
"No clue."
"We can't put him back in the ground."
"No, that doesn't seem right."
"Maybe if we wait awhile he'll die again."
"Fuck you, Uncle T. You think I can't hear you?" Tony had stopped crying and was scowling at us.
"Sorry, Tony, I didn't mean it like that. I'm just not sure what to do about this."
Tony staggered to his feet again. He was moving jerkily around the grave site when we heard a thumping sound coming from the other coffin. Terrence and I looked at each other and then at the grave. We walked over and looked down.
"I hurt, Uncle T," Tony called from behind us. "Before I couldn't feel nothing, now it hurts, real bad."
"Chill out, Tony. I got to help Keshawn." Terrence dropped to his knees in the mud, reached into the grave and unlatched the coffin. He opened the lid.
The body lying there didn't look quite as good as Tony's. Keshawn had taken one in the head, too, but the exit wound had torn away one side of his skull. The funeral home hadn't done much more than slap some industrial-strength May-belline on it. I flowed a little juice to steady my nerves and calm my stomach.
"I think I'm hungry, Uncle T," Tony called.
"I said chill the fuck out, Tony. Give me a minute and I'll take you to Mickey D's."
Keshawn opened his eyes. They were gray, empty and lifeless, just like Tony's. His lips pulled back in a snarl and bared yellow teeth, and his hands flashed up and grabbed Terrence by the throat. Keshawn screamed and thrashed and pulled Terrence into the grave. Terror welled up from someplace deep in my mind and tried to paralyze me. I flowed more juice to take the edge off it and moved forward to help. Then I heard Tony step up behind me.
"I don't want Mickey D's, Uncle T," he said, and I felt his cold, cold hands on my neck.
Everyone has an irrational fear. For some people it's spiders, for others it's snakes, or maybe clowns. I have a big fucking problem with zombies. I can deal with ghosts—even the really creepy ones. Hell, I share my condo with a spook, an old woman named Mrs. Dawson. I can also deal with dead bodies—as long as they stay down. If they get up and try to eat me, that's just too fucking much.

This series is sooo good it is kind of confusing but its really good
Posted May 28, 2011
I picked SKELETON CREW up without realizing zombies played a HUGE role in this sequel to MOB RULES. I know, it's in the summary - but I didn't read it at all since I was already interested in seeing how things played out for Domino. A leap of faith, really, considering my lukewarm reactions to the 1st book.
Is there anything that zombies can't make gold? Actually, I can think of a few reads that didn't work out, but SKELETON CREW really really blew my mind away. In a good way. In the good rock-my-socks-off way. Zombie outbreak never looked more sexy or dangerous or crazy-awesome. Seriously I think Cameron Haley has renewed my zombie addiction ten-fold after being in such a slump last fall!
I do not think reading MOB RULES is necessary to appreciate the sequel to the max. It may help to explain the magic system, the gang and Faerie Court politics, the tension between Domino and Adan, but otherwise I think the story rolled smoothly on its own with it as things start to snowball into an avalanche. There simply wasn't any time to worry about backstory - Domino and company had too much on their plate to handle without wallowing in the past for long.
I loved how SKELETON CREW incorporated South American mythology into the storyline, especially in regards to the zombie infestation. A really unique spin that definitely added some spice to the experience - and I never realized how special Mexican Hairless Dogs are! Who knew that they would play such a significant part here? Or that La Calvera Catrina could be such a deliciously dynamic villain? Who would have dreamed that South American mythology and cultural references + zombies would create such a fascinating story?
The action never let up for a second! Whenever Domino gets even a hint of a break, she gets slammed with another problem to handle - and sometimes they were interconnected. Of course, as her troubles start to culminate and the end of humanity is near, everyone - gangs, Faerie Court, spirits, federal agents - wants to play hero in order to be rewarded with more power that will surely result for their cooperation. Too bad there isn't really enough power to go around...
SKELETON CREW has definitely got me hooked on this series! Cameron Haley has created an amazing world that solidified in this sequel, and I am dying to find out what happens next! Domino and gang may have successfully swept their zombie problems under the rug, but have they enough juice to contained the demons and Faeries from overrunning L.A.?
Posted March 29, 2011
Los Angeles street smart and kick butt tough Domino Riley continues to serve as the lieutenant to six millennia old Sumerian gang boss Shanar Rashan having faced several paranormal Mob Rule challenges to her position (see Mob Rule and Retribution in the Harvest Moon anthology). However, even she is unprepared for the zombie horde that appears ready to dominate Southern California. To prevent L.A. from becoming Zombieland, Domino needs to rescue the sacred dogs who carry souls to the other side.
In her way and that of her team are demons who prefer the old order overturned with chaos as only zombies can do. Besides dealing with zombies, demons, and some unmentionables, Domino also must look inside her heart to how deeply she feels about her attraction to her employer's son Adan.
The latest Underworld Cycle urban fantasy is an entertaining often jocular story mostly due to the hard-boiled heroine whose only soft spot is Adan; a feeling she feels ranks not much above the flu as she seeks resistance to the love bug. The cast is very powerful and Cameron Haley's vision of Los Angeles is superb as this feminist Noir makes the thin plot fun for sub-genre fans who will enjoy Domino and her odd team battle a Skeleton Crew (and a few other evil dudes).

obviously at the moment its the last thing on mind but yes hopefully someone will be able to prove me wrong.
im having to work through all the issues he has gave me over the years and as much as im fun loving tracy behind closed doors sometimes im a emotional wreck... not because i dont think i can achieve anything but because I allowed him to ruin my life for so long.
im not just having to prove to myself that i can do life without him im having to prove to my family and friends that i wont go weak and have him back ( i wont)
there is nothing left he can do to hurt me he has done it all....the mental abuse the physical abuse.... sometimes im surprised im even here.

Special Correspondent
Sales yet to pick up at smaller shops
Festivities planned for the night shopping event include special cultural shows to engage the crowd.
KOCHI: Night shopping in Kochi was formally inaugurated on Sunday evening by District Collector M. Beena at a function organised by the Kerala Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The Collector handed over a torch to Olympian K. M. Binu and a torch run was taken out from Menaka Junction to Maharaja's College grounds where the National Open Athletics Championship would begin on Monday morning. Roller skating and other cultural programmes were also organised as part of the ceremony
However, untimely rain ruined the mood of shoppers who generally go around in search of commodities, just before Onam festival. The last Sunday before Onam marks a surge of sales for the shops where bargains are struck almost every moment. But the expectations were drowned in the torrential rain. Of course, the shopkeepers had to bear the brunt.
Nevertheless, it was not a dismal day for the elegant textile shops, decorated to attract festival crowds. The crowd was visible at most of such branded shops, but stream of shoppers narrowed down at smaller outlets. The adverse climate dealt a heavy blow to their business. In fact, these shops offer instant bargains for the customer with a smaller purse and the business zooms from these minor deals.
The wayside vendors were the worst affected lot. Merchandise brought from neighbouring States makes hot sales at the street corners during festival seasons and Onam is the foremost occasion for the vendors to make a fast buck. The rain on a holiday had ruined their hopes, though there was some consolation in the evening when the sky brightened up after long hours of rainy spell.
But hope lingers on. The next day could be better. If the sun shines during the remaining days of run-up to the festival, it could make up for the lost opportunity.
The beginning of the night shopping event in the evening did unfold a spectrum of avenues for the leisurely shopper. The shops that usually close down by 8 p.m., would remain open till 10.30 p.m. If everything goes well, the shopkeepers will see a steady stream of buyers who could purchase the bulk of the goodies.
Festivities planned for the night shopping event include special cultural shows to engage the crowd. The police force is extending support to ensure that the crowd on the road takes a disciplined course amidst all sorts of revelry.

Those who claim this will encourage job creation clearly don't understand what goes into a hiring decision in the private sector. Any company that can't afford to hire today still won't be able to hire if this bill becomes law. Calling this a 'jobs' bill is pure fraud.
...This bill won't convince wary employers to suddenly start hiring. It simply hands taxpayer money to businesses which were already going to hire anyway. ...You can't tax Americans back to prosperity. It's just that simple.

"Just the facts, ma'am," said Sgt. Joe Friday in nearly every segment of Dragnet.
Jack Webb portrayed Sgt. Friday in probably the first of many cop shows. He used that statement when a witness strayed too far from what he or she actually knew to be true and began to delve into hearsay or rumor.
I pulled those profound words from my memory recently when a plethora of rumors began circulating through our community gossip mill. Funny how they apply to my job as well.
"Just the facts."
Producers May Begin Applying for SURE Program at FSA County Offices on Jan. 4, 2010.
USDA has implemented the new Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments program (SURE) in accordance with the 2008 Farm Bill. Producers are encouraged to visit their USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) county office beginning Jan. 4, 2010, to participate in the program if they suffered crop production losses during the 2008 crop year.

To the editor:
Indianapolis, despite being in Indiana, is not my favorite team in the NFL. The Colts are probably my second favorite team next to The Steelers, but I do like some others.
If I really do not like a team it is usually due to some player or coach who is on that team.
The Patriots, Jets and whoever Terrell Owens is playing for are teams that I cannot be for.
The dislike of the first two teams is because of the coaches whom I think are either over rated, a jerk or both.
* Cynthiana Democrat, Dec. 21, 1939 -- "Formal opening of the new Moravan Apartments, just completed for Mrs. G. E. Moore and daughter of Devonia, Tenn., will be held Sunday afternoon. The public is cordially invited to visit the new building and inspect the many features of Cynthiana's most modern apartment building."
* Norman Vincent Peale -- "Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful."
Smoking should not be banned from public places. It's pointless to argue against it because the effects would be the same if you banned it.
Companies will lose smokers' money. Non-smokers may choose to leave a restaurant if they wish. If you ban smoking it wouldn't matter to peoples' health because it's still in the air, no matter what. If it's banned, people will go elsewhere to buy their cigarettes and local tobacco sellers would go out of business.
In conclusion I believe smoking in public places shouldn't be banned.

New London — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said during a brief tour of Winthrop Magnet Elementary School Tuesday that the city's inclusion in a national program to extend the school day is "an exciting time for New London."
Malloy and state Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor were following up on Monday's announcement that 3,184 children in New London, Meriden and East Hartford next year will have 300 more hours of learning time added to their school year. The initiative is funded by the Ford Foundation and the National Center on Time & Learning.
New London Board of Education members, school officials and the district's special master, Steven Adamowski, also were present.
As part of the Time for Innovation Matters in Education Collaborative, school districts in five states — Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Colorado — will benefit from the program.
"This is very aggressive, which means it's very good. This should be viewed as an exciting time for New London," Malloy said.
In New London, the extra time won't necessarily come after school; it may come on weekends and during the summer.
Originally, an extended-day pilot program was supposed to be introduced at both Winthrop and Jennings elementary schools, with a possible extension into Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School, in February. But the district's Chief Academic Officer Katherine Ericson said Tuesday that the pilot program will be implemented in January and only at Bennie Dover.
Pending approval of New London's participation by the TIME Collaborative and the state, the city's three elementary schools — Winthrop, Jennings and Nathan Hale — and the middle school will begin full implementation of the extended day in the fall of 2013.
"We see expanded learning time as an extension and an opportunity that we want to create through the year to provide opportunities for success," Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer said.
"You should never mistake literacy for smarts, and we want to maximize literacy and show people how smart our kids really are," he said.
The trick to sustaining the program beyond its initial three years of funding is to "think outside the box," Malloy said.
"The path forward is how to spend our education funds wisely," he said. "Whatever we need to do to prevail. ... A part of this is to move us beyond the idea that everything we need requires new money."
Funding for the program in New London came in the form of an $809,000 Alliance District grant, of which $120,000 will be dedicated to extended learning time. Adamowski, the special master, called the funding "a gift" to the district.
According to a press release from the National Center on Time & Learning and the Ford Foundation, the program will depend on "a mix of state and federal funding" beyond its first three years. States will receive technical assistance from NCTL and capacity-building grants from the Ford Foundation, which has committed $3 million a year during the next three years to support state efforts across the country, the press release said.
Malloy said school districts could use existing resources creatively, such as by staggering teachers' schedules.
"Not everyone needs to arrive to school at the same time. People can work different shifts, as long as it ends up being the same number of people in the building throughout the day," Malloy said.
