The call came at a most inopportune moment. Striker Dark reached for his phone while keeping his gaze on the queen of England. She cut her eyes at him for a split second, and, without missing a beat, she continued to address the dignitaries with stiff royal aplomb.
After a quick look around, he astral projected out the banquet room's closest exit. He would take the call and get back before the humans present even realized he'd left his seat.
Two of the queen's MI10 agents, a vampire and a leopard shifter, noticed. They were the only Supes (supernaturals) in the room who could follow his departure. They eyed him with distaste. MI10 was a highly classified counterintelligence agency within Great Britain, the counterpart to Striker's own United
States Bureau of Supernatural Phenomena. They both dealt with anything supernatural and kept it hidden from humans, and duties sometimes included protecting royalty and government officials. Two of Striker's own agents were safeguarding the President of the United States right now. But MI10 agents thought themselves a cut above their Yank cousins, and for that reason Striker ignored them completely as he paused in the hallway.
His phone wasn't your typical landline. A crystal, developed especially for him by the tech-support staff at B.O.S.P., drove the gizmo. His clairvoyant powers absorbed the energy it released, and it amplified them. It was like having an omnipresent stalker exploding in his head. Even before he opened the lid he knew something was dreadfully wrong.
His gut flinched, and he couldn't believe the image appearing before his eyes. Hover demons floated and circled five of his agents.
Hover demons could be easily summoned; they killed for pleasure, unlike doom demons, who tortured their victims and demanded payment for their enjoyment. There were as many types of demons as there were types of angels. Angels and demons had their many uses, but Striker refused to summon hovers for anything. They were unpredictable, and in his line of work unpredictability was a detriment.
Black hooded robes covered the demons' bodies and faces, but the flamethrowers and scythes in their hands were clearly visible. His agents were near them, on their knees, execution style. Silver chains crisscrossed their vampire bodies and held them immobile. Striker knew every one of the agents by name. He had trained them himself. They were the elite at B.O.S.P. How could this happen?
In the moonlit background, Striker noticed a wharf. Warehouse lights cast eerie shadows over their faded fronts. Boats rocked against the pier, and he saw the Suter's Marina sign. He knew that place. New Orleans.
A hover paused, the edge of his robe rippling as he lowered the blowtorch and fired. Aquarius, a two-hundred-year-old vamp and one of Striker's OIC's, screamed. A rictus of pain and helplessness distorted his face.
Abruptly, the scythe chopped down on his neck.
His head rolled like a ball and settled near his knees. One blink of recognition from his eyes, and then the life left Aquarius's face forever.
Another demon closed in on the next agent in line. Fizz! Chop! Fizz! Chop! Another shriek. Chop!
Striker wanted to feel sympathy or empathy, but there was nothing left inside to let him feel. He had lived too long on the earth, and it had killed his human sensitivity. It was as if the world had lost all its color and he observed it from an objective, sterile black-and-white environment now. Still, he couldn't look at his own agents, the ones whom he directed and had sent to their deaths, without feeling the injustice. A tiny snarl lifted one corner of his lip, and he felt his fangs extend.
Suddenly the phone's camera turned upward, and a female face he recognized spun into view. Real name: Skye Rainwater, aka Simone Poindexter, aka Lilly Smith. Code name: Culler. She stared back him. Her vibrant blue eyes filled up the screen, the dark, sooty lashes caked with mascara. Eyes so deeply entrenched in his mind that he'd see them the rest of his life.
"Hello, Nightwalker," she said. "Enjoying this little show?"
Striker heard another yell, and it cut the back of his neck like the teeth of a chain saw. "Culler," Striker said. "What the hell are you doing? Help them!"
"I have. Can't you see that?"
So it was real. "How did you set up this bloodbath?"
"Just called Aquarius and told him Raithe was receiving a shipment of girls."
Aquarius should have known better, followed protocol and called Striker. It wasn't the first time Aquarius had broken rank, only this time he'd paid dearly—with his life. "What has happened to you?"
"I'm tired of being out in the field, risking my life and doing your dirty work for the measly pennies you drop my way."
"We invested half a million in your cover. That is a lot of pennies." Striker's voice turned low, soft and quite deadly. He envisioned wrapping his hands around her neck and squeezing . "How could you betray B.O.S.P. like this?"
"I don't live and breathe the agency like you. I'm a free spirit. And who are we kidding? This is your vendetta, not B.O.S.P.'s. Raithe just helped me see I was on the wrong side."
"I will find you."
"You can try." She cackled, her eyes gleaming bright blue with malice. Then the screen went blank.
Striker thought of headquarters, and Mimi's small angular face appeared in the screen. Anyone looking at her reflection could tell she was a dwarf. What her looks didn't reveal was her penchant for voodoo. She looked bored until she noticed who it was. A grin spread across her face, and she batted her false eyelashes as she fluffed her curly blond hair. "Anything I can get you, boss?"
Striker knew she was referring to something other than work, but he always ignored her advances. And this was no different. He went directly to the point. "I need the dossier on Culler. Send it right away, and see what aliases you can find that are not in our files. And use the psychics. I do not want one stone unturned."
"You got it, boss."
"Any sightings of Raithe?" Striker had recently upped the bounty on Raithe in the paranormal community, but as of yet no one was brave enough to collect the three million dollars.
"No, sorry," she said forlornly. She knew Raithe was on Striker's top-ten wanted list.
"All right, then. Waiting on the dossier."
He closed the device and shoved it in his pocket. He would apologize later to the queen. He didn't have time for niceties or foreign diplomatic dinner parties. He had to find Culler.
She had been his only hope. What had happened to make her turn? They had been so close to catching Raithe. Striker's lip lifted in a tiny snarl as he thought of his nemesis. Raithe controlled much of the underbelly of the human and vampire races. He dealt in everything from drugs to prostitution to providing living victims for vampires to drain and kill. A real nice upstanding vampire was Raithe.
Striker had been hunting Raithe for hundreds of years, and not once had he been able to get this close to him. It had taken ten years of undercover work, but Culler had finally gained Raithe's trust. Striker didn't want to think about the evils Culler must have endured and participated in to prove her fealty to Raithe. Culler kept assuring Striker that she was okay and didn't need a psychological evaluation. She promised Striker she could locate Raithe's den, but she needed more time. Through the years, she'd given Striker several leads on child-pornography rings and snuff-film makers, mostly throughout Europe, even a bordello filled with werepanthers Raithe tortured for his own amusement, but not the one thing Striker wanted: Raithe.
Then Culler had turned on him and joined Raithe. At the thought of his nemesis, Striker felt his fangs jut out more and scrape his lower lip. He tasted his own blood and realized he and Raithe were more similar than he cared to admit. They were both ruthless in their own way, both unable to stop until the other was eradicated.
Takala Rainwater stuffed the last bite of a ham and cheese croissant in her mouth as she saw the road sign for the Woodlawn Terrace subdivision. A cemetery name if she ever saw one. Right up there with Pleasant Green and Quiet Acres.
She made an uneasy face as she turned right, finished off a can of Pepsi, and drove her MINI Cooper down the road. The streets of Fredericksburg looked like any other quiet residential neighborhood in February. Neatly groomed houses lined the block. Rows of dormant flower gardens waited for winter to end and spring to begin. Evidence of a recent snow still painted the lawns in a sheen of white. The pockmarked bodies of melting snowmen waved to her from some of the yards. The only evidence of death here was the name of the road.
She grabbed the note lying beside her and looked at the address Blake had given her. Blake Green worked for the FBI's Data and Statistics Department. A friend since high school. He gleaned information for Takala's private investigating agency, and in return Takala sprung for his dinner at a four-star restaurant once a month.
Blake had been searching for evidence of Takala's mother for four years, since joining the FBI. Blake was a bloodhound when it came to finding information, and Skye Rainwater had become one of his obsessions. Finally he'd got a hit this morning. He had flagged the name, and someone must have been researching it, because the flag popped up. He had followed the electronic trail and called Takala all excited, telling her that he'd discovered information in the State Department database on Skye Rainwater. She had two aliases, Simone Poindexter and Lilly Smith. He also gave Takala Lilly Smith's LKA (last known address) here in the States. Surprisingly, it was in Fredericksburg, Virginia, not seventy miles from the Patomani Indian reservation where Takala lived. He also added the usual caveat he did with all the leads he gave her: that the information might be bogus. In this case it could have been planted by the State Department to throw people off Skye's trail. But it was a lead.
Takala wondered how her mother was connected to the State Department, but that was still a mystery to her and Blake. She vowed to worship Blake for the rest of his life and buy his dinner every day for the next twenty years. Blake's ego had seemed worthily pandered to and satisfied, and they had left it at that.
Now Takala felt her heart pounding as she read the numbers. Forty-five was a couple of blocks away. This could be the moment for which she'd been waiting her whole life. Finally, she might meet her mother. Face-to-face. Up close and personal. No room to run.
She had a lot of questions for her, and they were the kind you had to look a woman in the eye while she answered them, like how does a mother just drop three daughters on the doorstep of her mother's home and leave? Even though it was forbidden to speak of anyone who had been abjured from her tribe, Meikoda, Takala's grandmother, had felt Takala and her sisters wouldn't stop asking about their mother until they heard the explanation of why and how they came to live with her. After warning them that she could only tell them once, she had gone on to explain that Skye had left them because she'd refused to marry the man predestined to be her husband—that's how it was for Guardians. They married whomever the Maiden Bear chose for them. But Skye had refused, spit in the face of the creator of her tribe's white magic. Skye had abandoned her family, her preordained station as the Guardian, and her standing in the tribe to marry for love. It had ended badly, and her husband, Takala's father, had died prematurely of lung cancer.
Meikoda said his death was Skye's reprimand from Maiden Bear. And Skye wallowed in her grief, turning to drugs for solace, until she could no longer care for her own daughters. That excuse didn't mesh if Skye had gone to work for the State Department. No, Takala wanted the truth, to hear it from her mother's own lips. That was if she was still alive. This Lilly Smith could be a dead end.
But Takala couldn't dampen the hope stirring in her, or the dread. What if she found Skye, and it didn't go well? What if she offered no explanation and resented Takala looking for her? Takala decided she'd cross that bridge when and if she ever reached it.
She rounded a corner and slowed. Number forty-five was a modest two-story with a white picket fence. Even a Christmas wreath still graced the door. Real homey. Fit right in the burb-style neighborhood. Maybe Lilly Smith had a family of her own.
At the thought, Takala grimaced and spotted the taxi sitting out front. Plumes of hot exhaust billowed from the muffler, condensing as soon as they hit the cold air. Someone was on their way out.
Takala slowed, about to pull over, when a woman appeared at the door, carrying a suitcase. Takala compared the woman's features to the old photo she'd found hidden in Meikoda's hope chest. Her grandmother had said she'd destroyed every picture of Skye when the tribe renounced her, but Takala knew Meikoda couldn't wipe out all the pictures of her only daughter. She had to have kept one, and Takala hadn't given up until she discovered it. Since finding it, she'd only looked at it a thousand times.
The woman on the porch appeared about fifty, tall, with short jet-black hair. She wore sleek brown slacks and a matching cashmere jacket. Her makeup looked flawless on her square face. Lilly Smith glanced nervously up at the taxi driver, and the classic Rainwater bright blue eyes beamed. Yep. Give or take twenty years and about two feet of long, thick braid, this woman was a dead ringer for the image in the photo.
Takala felt her chest swell and a lump form in her throat. Could this really be her mother? She was about to pull over and discover the truth when all hell broke loose.
Posted June 18, 2011
U.S. Bureau of Supernatural Phenomena Striker Dark is a vampire tracking down a rogue agent. Private investigator Takala Rainwater has searched for the mother who abandoned her and her sisters as children. Striker and Takala meet when both believe they seek the same woman.
Takala quickly learns her white magic does not work against Striker and worse her vaunted control fails too. He realizes for the first time in centuries, he craves her blood as he is attracted to the potential daughter of a woman he is assigned to kill. They team up hunting the traitor who may be her mother and the evil who has employed her as a double agent.
This is an exciting romantic urban fantasy that grips the audience from the opening encounter and keeps reader attention until the final climax. The story line is fast-paced and filled with plenty of action as the tale plays out on two fronts: the attraction between the lead pair which neither desires; and the hunt for the rogue who in a fascinating twist may be the heroine's mother.

In war or withdrawal, Sharon marched to his own drum
Published on Jan 11, 2014 9:13 PM
JERUSALEM (REUTERS) - A maverick in war and politics, Israel's Ariel Sharon reshaped the Middle East in a career marked by adventurism and disgrace, dramatic reversals and stunning rebounds.
Loathed by many Arabs and a divisive figure within Israel, Sharon left his mark on the region as perhaps no other through military invasion, Jewish settlement building on captured land and a shock decision to pull out of Gaza.
A commander in the army from the birth of Israel in 1948, he went on to hold many of the top offices of state, surviving fierce debate over his role in refugee camp massacres in the 1982 Lebanon war to be elected prime minister in 2001.
Famously overweight, he suffered a stroke that put him into a coma in 2006, when he was at the height of his power, and died on Saturday without ever apparently regaining consciousness.

Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I am at high risk for colon cancer because my mother had colon cancer at age 37, my maternal great aunt had colon cancer, and my father's mother died of colon cancer. My question is if someone is at high risk and has had a normal colonoscopy, how often after that should he or she considers having another colonoscopy?
Li Liu, MD, OncoLink Editorial Assistant, responds:
Dear S,
Thank you for your interest and question.
According to the American Cancer Society and the American Gastroenterological Association colorectal cancer screening guidelines, men and women over age of 50 not in a high-risk group (see below) should use the following guidelines:
Nov 14, 2013 - A small but non-significant increase in screening rates for colon cancer was observed after a multicomponent intervention was tested in rural communities in Colorado, according to research published in the November/December issue of the Annals of Famil

Barkha Dutt has spent the last few days replying to tweets
expressing loss of faith in her and demanding answers for her involvement in the recent expose wherein she offered to facilitate a meeting between DMK's Kanimozhi and Union health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad on the behest of lobbyist Niira Radia.
Dutt's active presence on Twitter has ensured that all ire is directed straight at her; she cannot dodge any of it. Search for #barkhagate, and you sense that Twitter users and bloggers are baying for her blood. But, her reply to each tweet is calm. Like this one, "Ethics should be measured by coverage of issues.
Diplomatic friendliness to get information from a source is very different. To get news one speaks to all kinds of people, dirty or clean, if they are a source of real time updates. That is not a crime."
Shubho Sengupta, head of digital media at Rediffusion Y&R, says that #barkhagate is not going to affect her in the long-run. "I think Barkha is handling the issue very intelligently and she should continue the discussions. But most tweets are very impulsive rants or attacks against her; they aren't asking the right questions."
Veteran media critic V Gangadhar says, "For long, the Letters to the Editor was the only section where you could complain about an erroneous report, or give feedback. Social media has
ensured criticism happens on public fora." Which is why, since the last few years, the growing adoption of new media — blogs, citizen journalism websites and Twitter — is a crucial phase in the history of journalism, when the media's reputation of having the final word is being challenged.
"The blackout of reporting on the scandal by some newspapers and news channels was the biggest reason that angered social media users," says Santosh Desai, CEO, Future Brands.
But there is also criticism of the kind of debate that new media is generating. Gangadhar describes it as 'very right-wing, unbalanced and extreme'. Desai says that people must put every issue in context. "#barkhagate hasn't grasped that or crafted it like a debate, rather it is more of a personalised attack."

The State government has been urged by Siddha practitioners to revive the 'Siddha Medical Council' in order to protect genuine practitioners.
Addressing journalists here on Friday, V. Kalidoss, president of Siddha Ayurveda, Unani, Maruthuvargal Matthiya Nala Sangam, said a memorandum to this effect had been sent to the Chief Minister. The association was also meeting various officials and ministers, including M.K. Alagiri, Union Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers, regarding this issue. Further, the association had requested the government to include one of its office-bearers in the council so that the Siddha practitioners' views could be put forth.
He said the Tamil Nadu had two government and four private Siddha medical colleges, apart from six private Ayurveda colleges and one government Unani college. Mr. Kalidoss also refuted reports of the presence of quacks among practitioners of native medicines.

When it was officially announced on January 12th that Greg Whittington had been ruled academically ineligible, the initial diagnosis was not too encouraging for the Georgetown Hoyas.
Currently sitting with a 8-1 record without Whittington, headlined by home wins over Louisville and Marquette, the loss of the Sophomore forward is looking more and more like a blessing in disguise for Georgetown.
Yet it really doesn't add up. After all Georgetown was an inept offensive team with Wittington, the team's third leading scorer at 12.1 points per game. They had failed to reach fifty points four times this season with Whittington, and had gotten off tough a rough start in Big East Play with losses to Marquette and Pittsburgh.
The suspension should have broken a team that was flirting with disaster. It didn't, in fact Georgetown appears to be playing their best ball of the season.
Give all the honor and praise to head coach John Thompson III, whose adjustments since a near thirty point home loss to Pittsburgh have drastically altered a once stagnant offense.
Mikael Hopkins has seen both his playing time, 21.2 mpg with Whittington to 20.7 mpg without Whittington, and role as the key decision maker in the high post decrease. In turn, John Thompson III has put his faith in junior Nate Lubick to take on a larger role in the offense, and he has been rewarded thus far. The Junior forward has averaged 8.5 points per game and 2.9 assists in Georgetown's last nine games.
Lubick is not only a more experienced player within Georgetown's offense than Hopkins, he is also a much more gifted passer.
" He's been playing at a very high level for a long time now, to tell you the truth," said John Thompson III after Georgetown defeated St. John's 68-56 on February 2nd. " I said a couple of games ago, he wasn't up here, but I said Nate gave us quality starts, not quality starts. When we need something done, he gets a rebound, makes an assist, gets a basket. He's been doing that consistently and tonight was no exception."
Lubick's presence in the high post has not only resulted in better ball movement for the Hoyas, but a more efficient offense.
The same could be said for the increased playing time of guards D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera and Jabril Trawick. The duo have been the main beneficiaries in Whittington's absence, and have added a new dimension to Georgetown's half court offense.
" We're making the extra pass," said John Thompson III after a January 16th victory over the Providence Friars. " We're setting pretty good screens. We're cutting hard, which is then opening up our teammates. I think the guys are doing a good job of searching for shots for their teammates for themselves."
The presence of Smith Rivera and Trawick on the court have given Georgetown a new-found ability to beat their opponents off the dribble in their half court sets. As a result, the Hoyas ball movement has quickened thanks to the added passing skills Trawick and Smith-Rivera bring to the table.
It must be noted that Whittington was being forced to play out of position as a two guard in Georgetown's offensive system. Whittington has the make up and skill set of your classic college hybrid, one that can play the three or the four . He lacks the ability to beat his man off the dribble, and consistently knock down open three-point looks. He's been at his best this season in the open court in transition and attacking overmatched guards in the post.
When your offense features a two guard who struggles to beat the opposition with the dribble, you are going to be somewhat limited on that end of the floor. Evidently Georgetown was, averaging just 63.5 points with Whittington against a relatively easy schedule.
But that was the past and this is the present.
With Smith-Rivera and Trawick handling the two guard duties, those issues are behind Georgetown. The Hoyas now sport a more natural starting lineup, one capable of beating you inside or out, off the dribble or with the shot.
One staple in that starting lineup, Sophomore forward Otto Porter, has been the main cog in Georgetown's turnaround. Porter, who was a major contributor as a freshman, was expected to be a star for Georgetown this season. For the most part he was, just not the type we were expecting.
See through the first thirteen games of Georgetown's season with Greg Whittington, Porter was producing adequate numbers on an outstanding shooting percentage. He was averaging 12.8 points per game and shooting 48.7% from the floor. But he found it too easy to disappear within Georgetown's complex offensive system.
Whittington's absence forced Porter to become a more aggressive player within Georgetown's offense. And he has. In the nine games Georgetown has played without Whittington, Porter has averaged 18.6 points per game while shooting 52.3% from the floor. He has also attempted nearly two more shots per game without Whittington.
Porter's emergence as a legitimate number one offensive option has helped Georgetown immensely in late clock situations. The Hoyas have made it a mission to get the ball into Porter's hands when it gets late into the shot clock.
" He's one of the best players in the country," said John Thompson III after Georgetown's victory over Marquette on February 11th. " I mean he's consistently shown that. He's someone who takes pride in and excels in every aspect of the game. He's not just thinking about "my touches" or "my shots" and all of it is under the umbrella of how to put us in the position to win."
The Hoyas have certainly been put into position to win their fair share of games as of late. Georgetown has raced from unranked and unnoticed to a top twenty ranking and a share of first place in the Big East. All it took was a Greg Whittington suspension. Who would have thought the loss of their third leading scorer would have saved Georgetown's season?

White House Movie Set in Bossier Damaged Slightly in Storm
Ernest Borgnine, Oscar-Winning Actor, Dead at 95
Those American Flags Are Up For a Reason…Movie Filming!
The Fourth of July is over, so why are all those flags still up in downtown Shreveport? The Downtown Development Authority says it's because right now, downtown is actually Washington, D.C.
Millennium Films' new Gerard Butler / Aaron Eckhart thriller "Olympus Has Fallen" (formerly "White House Taken") is being filmed around the Caddo Parish Courthouse in the coming days.
Weekend Box Office Report: R-rated Rules the Weekend
When 'Prometheus' opened big last month, there was the usual "Ah, so R-rated movies can perform well at the box office!" discussion that tends to happen every year or so. Well, that has nothing on this weekend, which found two R-rated movies topping the box office. And it's not like 'Ted' and 'Magic Mike' just did okay either…both films opened big, blowing away expectations and leading the charge in one of the most interesting box office weekends of the summer so far.
Patriotic American Movies: 10 Films That Honor the USA
For all the industries that have been shipped overseas, America is still the entertainment capital of the world. And what better way to celebrate our great nation than with its greatest exports?
In honor of July 4th, here are 10 patriotic classics that are sure to turn the silver screen red, white and blue.
Behind The Scenes of "White House Taken" [AUDIO]
As you can see from the photo, construction is coming right along for the movie "White House Taken" (that title could be changed to "Olympus Has Fallen," by the way) -- starring Gerard Butler. I got an update on that from scenic painter Michael Wynn, who's part of the crew working on the project
A Whole Lotta Filming Going On [AUDIO]
I got an update on local movie/TV projects today...from Shreveport-Bossier Film Office Director Arlena Acree. Some of the highlights of this interview...a potential name change for "White House Taken" and how construction is going on the White House exterior -- casting calls for a couple of reality shows -- and the results of last weekend's Locations Expo in Los Angeles

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Madagascar 3′ vs 'Prometheus'
It's difficult to imagine two more different films going head-to-head at the box office. However, by appealing to completely different audiences, 'Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted' and 'Prometheus' both managed to emerge from the weekend as big winners, making this the first weekend in months where two new major releases opened strong.

The $95 Watch Designed To Win Over The Luxury Market
Upstart watch brand Leonard & Church wants to deliver luxury-caliber watches at prices that appeal to discerning consumers.
Leonard & Church began, like so businesses do, when the founder wanted something. Chris Chon was approaching the end of his MBA at Kellogg School of Management, and he was looking to buy what he calls his "first entry-level high-quality watch." Chon, who had previously worked for Gap's strategy team, felt he was at the age where "a fashion accessory gives you an extra confidence boost." He was prepared to spend $500 to $1,000, about what you'd pay for something from Movado or Bulova.
His childhood friend Jeff Leung was also looking for a watch. As the two hunted around, though, they were bothered by what they saw. "We saw a wide disparity in pricing, even for watches that had the same movement, the same components," says Chon. They found a supply chain "riddled with middlemen and legacy markups." All in all, "the closer we got to the luxury watch industry, the more we were turned off by what we were learning."
They saw an inefficient market. And they just plain thought they could do a better job themselves.
Their watch brand, Leonard & Church, bears the tagline, "a new way to buy a luxury watch." As of this writing, their Kickstarter campaign has over $120,000 pledged on their $75,000 goal, which was met handily within a week and a half. Chon says that the Kicktraq prediction model is yielding numbers that "would place us as one of the biggest launches in fashion accessories" on the site (Kicktraq says the project is trending toward around $229,000). "We've gotten tons of positive feedback," says Chon. "We have large aspirations. We're hoping this could be the start of something cool."
What makes these watches "luxury"? And how do a couple of upstarts without any experience in the business build a luxury watch brand from scratch?
It all comes down to their partners. Chon and Leung and a few collaborators (including the actress Arden Cho) teamed up with top manufacturers, spending a year working on designs. Chon says they were going for "a sort of clean, classic style," asking the question: "How do you take a classic design and add a small modern flair to make it even more accessible?"
"We just wanted to create styles that we thought were cool, and that our friends thought were cool." And that the Internet would think was cool, judging from the Kickstarter and fashion blog response.
The team says that one of their manufacturers made the watch President Obama wears in office. And they say they're confident enough in their designs to give a 10-year guarantee on each watch sold.
The ultimate result is a watch that they say is on par with something that would traditionally retail for as much as $800. But the Leonard & Church version will go for that magic, Warby-Parker figure: $95. (Or just $70 for Kickstarter contributors.)
"We are surprised at how quickly this is moving," says Chon. "What's interesting about Kickstarter is, once you gain a certain level of traction, all sorts of people start reaching out." He says many brands have reached out about possible partnerships.
But he adds that he doesn't think it makes sense to aim for high-level partners at the moment, or to gun for opening a retail store "if we can't do that in a way that keeps our price point fairly consistent. One of our core beliefs is that even at the end, at retail, there are all these markups and crazy promotional games." The average discount at the Gap is 35%, he says; if you're buying something at list price, you're getting a raw deal. "That's not the ecosystem we want to play in," he says. He cites as a model brands like Everlane, which are radically transparent about the "true cost" of their goods.
Leonard & Church—and other emerging direct-to-consumer brands like it—may be said to compose something like a "reasonable luxury" market: for discerning, Internet-savvy consumers who want to shop smarter. "If you want to buy a Patek Phillippe watch for $50,000, if that item makes you feel good, that's great," says Chon. "But for us, we felt there was a point of diminishing returns in terms of things you can actually quantify," when it comes to a watch's true quality. "At a certain point, the watch is what the watch is, and all that premium, all that extra you're paying for, is the brand name."
He doesn't judge: "If that's what turns you on, that's okay." But it's discerning—rather than conspicuous—consumption that Leonard & Church's own brand hopes to signify.

I have a few watch designs that took me over a year to design. I think they are bold, stylish, and ready to market. I am interested in a partner to help get this off the ground. I have already got a company name, domain name, and 3D designs. In the process of getting the patent now although I'm not familiar with the process.
So anyone interested in learning more can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Beautiful watches, but stilll not the same as BAUME & MERCIER ( http://chrono.lv/en )
They look like replicas of Daniel Wellington watches. SMH is that what they teach in business schools these days?
Unfortunately "Quartz" and "Luxury" are not compatible terms for anyone looking to buy a watch... A decent, inexpensive watch that looks like dozens of other decent inexpensive watches out there? Sure. But if their goal was to create a luxury product, or one with distinctive design that distances itself from competitive offerings, the article fails to even touc on how or why their product meets that goal.
i love how every watch snob is aghast by the quartz movement, the same way bedding snobs misguidedly obsess over thread count.
Just saw this article from marketing professor @AndrewTStephen and pledged on Kickstarter! The chronograph watches look beautiful. Sure it's a quartz movement and not studded in crystals but it's also 70 bucks. This is a fine way to start and a nice longer term aspirational goal for the company. Wish these guys the best of luck.
As is the case with most product or fashion brands attempting to launch off Kickstarter the rubber hits the road when backers get touch products for the first time. The problem with Warby Parker is their glasses feel so flimsy to the touch I can hardly imagine many return buyers. A young hipster may not care about what movement is being used by a watch but the feel/quality of the band, case, lens, dial.... will this be just another "10-year hoodie" (which let's not forget was horrendous quality according to those who supported the project and there were many of them) or the start of an actual brand
Love the black chronograph !
It would be the same way Warby Parker became successful even though their glasses are crap and tens of other glass brands sell the exact same styles direct online for even cheaper = marketing, timing, gullible young job seekers, dumb luck, etc etc etc. Only time will tell.
I love watches and like this idea, but wonder what will make them more successful than other watch brands that have tried to do the same thing such as Toy Watch.
Quartz movement only? That's no luxury watch.
interesting article.... seems like there's a new warby parker for _ startup every time i turn..... these wathces look really nice....
Considering one of his watches is a blatant copy of a Larson & Jennings watch, I suspect he'll be getting contacted by other big brands again.
I'm getting annoyed with Kickstarter watch brands copying other reputable brands, then undercutting on price, claiming to offer equal quality and something 'new'.
Yes, watch brands mark up, but there is more to a watch brand than production costs. Paying staff, paying shop leases, after sales service etc.
How about this watch campaign on KS (Vincero Watches) . Im not a big watch guy but they are claiming to be the only mechanical watch with Italian marble.
I'd consider myself a semi-serious watch collector although I still support Kickstarter watch brands quite frequently, as I have backed both Vincero and Leonard and Church as well as and Vincero's older venture Lexell. I own a self-winding timepiece which is obviously unfair to compare against a Quartz movement but also unfair to lump all Kickstarter watch brands into one together.
Presumably they're only using a cheap quartz movement for that price, though? Part of the 'premium' I paid for my Omega was to get a proper, self-winding mechanical movement.
These watches don't look bad but there's a bit of an issue saying these might cost $800... I think $95 is a "normal" price for a Quartz watch made by an unknown brand using Miyota movements. Saying that "all that extra you're paying for, is the brand name" when paying $800 isn't serious. There's a huge difference between a Quartz watch with mineral crystal lens and a Mechanical/Automatic one with a more original design, premium materials and sapphire crystal!
Very classy looking watches..

e use the Hebrew curriculum NETA for middle school. NETA is a dynamic Hebrew language curriculum for students in middle and high school. The multidimensional program integrates the four major language acquisition skills—listening, speaking, reading and writing — by immersing students in everything from classical Hebrew texts to Israeli music, and from historical documents to poetry and drama.
Lessons are centered on themes of interest to teenagers, including computers, friendship, and freedom. Each theme is presented from three perspectives: Jewish tradition, modern Israeli culture, and general world knowledge. Art, science, mathematics, literature, and philosophy are included in the themes.
Each unit of study incorporates art, music, prose, poetry, news articles, and Jewish texts, in layers of language ranging from biblical Hebrew to current scientific Hebrew terminology and common colloquialisms. In this program, Hebrew is learned in its linguistic, cultural, and spiritual context, using Hebrew of all historical periods. Comprised of original texts in all genres, the curriculum is intellectually challenging, engaging the students' thought processes.
In middle school, students are grouped by ability, enabling new students to fit comfortably into our school community.
Four seventh graders in the Hebrew elective class—Mia M., Sarah M., Emma B., and Sydney T.— received certificates in recognition of participation in the RAVSAK Hebrew Poetry Contest, whose theme this year was "Delilah." RAVSAK (the Jewish Community Day School Network) is a national, New York-based nonprofit dedicated to the promotion of pluralistic, nondenominational Jewish education...

Stops a cold in it tracks

A doctor told me once that taking enough zinc at the onset of a cold would stop or lessen any cold. But, he said, people are afraid to take enough, or they don't take it soon enough. I found this to be true. If you begin taking them at the first sign of a scratchy or sore throat or, well you know your own symptoms of a cold, those you try to ignore. If I begin at the onset, keep track of when and how many I take, and am persistent, it really does work. Taking Echinecea also helps further.

|Algorithm for computation and visualization of weighted constrained Voronoi diagrams
|Thamsonglar, Chaowalit
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|A weighted Voronoi diagram (WVD) has been developed in order to regionalize or allocate space around a predetermined set of points or generators for the case that generator points have different weights reflecting their variable properties [16]. In this research, the weighted constrained Voronoi diagram has been adapted in order to fix some weaknesses in the older method. The new method allows some points on a space to be unclassified and some center points to be merged with other center points with higher weights to avoid incorrect spatial neighborhood graphs which lead to poor segmentation. Mainly, this algorithm generates the collection of geometric objects by using center points and their maximum radius given by users. Also, additional boundaries are created to determine classification of the overlapping area by using a linear equation. Finally, the obtained results show the visualization of the space partitioned by the collection of geometric objects that can be applied to diverse problem sets, including forestry spacing, cell biology, and the optimal allocation of resources.

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

Performing his own work, Foreman has a direct and thoughtful quality, as if he were sizing up the situation. In a duet from his 1992 Fields of Love, while he and Capucilli swirl aboutcharmingly playful, suddenly quarrelsome, happy againhis aliveness to the moment makes it all seem true. And in Archaic Fragment, from a work in progress, his brooding air enriches what might be just a satisfying solo study about breaking from two dimensions into three.
A particular treat: The actress Claire Bloom reads live the poetry that accompanies Songs of Experience. This not entirely successful suite welds three separately composed dances together by means of poetry, clumps of reedy poles, and benches. In Buglisi's new and sensitive that walketh by night, to music by Arvo Pärt, the splendid Elizabeth Roxas begins coiled on a bench, one foot stuck to it, rocking, as if grief were holding her there. In the 1996 The Kiss, set by Buglisi to Hindemith, Dakin and Predmore are uneasy lovers; despite the eponymous kiss, she wishes to get away and rolls him offstage. Miki Orihara and Pier, the couple in Foreman's From Pent-Up, Aching Rivers (to Rachmaninoff's Cello Sonata in G minor), are more fulfilled; she runs her hands beneath his outstretched arms with almost secret pleasure. This duet takes its title from Walt Whitman's poem, and Whitman's words seem more united with the movement than do the excerpts by Rilke and H.D. that accompany the other two dances but didn't originally infuse their structures. I kept being drawn to Bloom's wondrous voice and eloquent reading, trying to fit her words to the feelings I saw.

Gentoo On Server Considered Harmful 372

from the not-a-desktop dept.
Siker writes in to point out his blog post — Why Gentoo Shouldn't Be On Your Server — which seems to have stirred up a lot of discussion, including a thread on the Gentoo forums. From the post: "I firmly believe in updating server software only when you need to. If you don't need new features, and things are working, why change anything? If you update anything you will undoubtedly need to update configuration files. You will need to fix things that break in the upgrade process... This is hard with Gentoo. Gentoo wants you to change a lot of stuff. It wants to be bleeding edge."

"excellent property, would definitely recommend!"
We recently stayed in this house in december for 2 nights, it is situated in a lovely quiet development which is only a short drive to coleraine centre which was perfect for what we wanted. The house feels very homely with a spacious open plan kitchen and conservatory which is were we spent most of our time. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it.

"Great place to stay no matter what you want to do"
Had a great week at this house recently which was just a short drive from all the things we wanted to do in the North Coast and Coleraine area. We were out most of the time but when we stayed in we made good use of the sunroom and patio area. This is a well maintained and modern house with a friendly landlord and which we would be happy to rent again.

For the past year, in addition to recruiting industries to the area, a main focus of the Thomaston-Upson Industrial Development Authority has been debt reduction. The TUIDA board approached the county commissioners last summer to request extra funding primarily for the purpose of reducing the debt owed on the Spec Building and a separate account was set up for one percent of the collected property taxes to go towards this effort. Commission Chairman Rusty Blackston told the TUIDA at their May meeting that paying off the first lean on the Spec Building may soon become a reality.
Blackston stated he will have to get the exact numbers from Tax Assessor Berry Cook, but he believes the county has had about an 87 percent collection rate on taxes.
"We established out budget with intentions of using this money to pay off the Spec Building, which will therefore alleviate the payments we are making every month through the county budget," said Blackston. "We have made five payments already (for 2014)… I think we will probably have enough collection to go on and pay that note off."
The TUIDA had agreed earlier this year to cover the difference if the amount collected on one percent of the taxes was not enough to fully pay off the loan by taking money out of the bond issue account. TUIDA Chairman Billy Johnston stated he felt paying off the building would be a good thing and it will aid the authority if a prospect is interested in the Spec Building.
Board member Frank King stated he feels that paying off the building would be a win for everyone in the community.
"This is a step the county took, that some in the community probably did not understand, but it is terrifically beneficial for the IDA. And in this case it is beneficial for tax payers because it gets debt off of the county role being paid with property tax and it saves interest. I think this is something that is a win for us, win for county and win for tax payers."
The TUIDA is hoping to have the note paid off within the next few weeks. Once this main lien is paid, there is still a One Georgia loan left on the building which should be paid off by next year. The Spec Building is a 78,300 square foot building shell which can be customized to an industry looking to locate in Upson County. It is situated on 13 acres site on Highway 36 and Delray Road.
In other business, the board approved a two –year extension on the grant agreement the TUIDA has with E-7 Technologies. The original agreement between the TUIDA and E-7 Technologies began in 2005 and was for a forgivable grant of $60,000 in exchange for 50 full time employees. TUIDA Attorney Joel Bentley told the board the company has continued to operate even while facing hardships due to the economic condition and have recently indicated they have some prospects about job expansion which they believe will allow them to meet the employment goals in the next two years. He suggested the board extend the agreement on a good faith basis to continue to operate and expand. The board approved the extension unanimously.
