Customer questions about this product
- How do I install the casters?
- First, turn the nut at the top of the stem until it just barely fits into the leg. Once inserted, tighten it using the nut underneath for a secure fit.
- Can I put equipment on my work table?
- Smaller appliances like blenders or can openers should be fine. For maximum stability, we recommend limiting the placement of heavy objects on work tables. We have a great selection of equipment stands which are designed specifically to hold countertop equipment.

Overall User Rating: 5" Heavy Duty Caster Set for Work Tables and Equipment Stands with 4 Casters ( 4.5 stars from 2 reviews )
Casters work well. The only problem with them is the quality of the break. It does not hold the wheel as stable as I wish it did.

You've heard all about the London Eye, Tower of London, British Museum and Madame Tussauds, but if you've never been to London you're lagging behind in your travel agenda – get to it and get to it cheaply with the great offers available with Student Flights. The capital city of London is the most highly populated in the United Kingdom, and easily the most famous, being known as the nucleus of the modern world thanks to its fast-paced economy, diverse culture and people and British royal family. Visit a Van Gogh, da Vinci or Botticelli at the National Gallery, see a 40 million-year-old spider at the Natural History Museum and make like a royal along the cafes and cultural hotspots along the River Thames – London is your quintessential travel destination. If you don't get to go anywhere else, ever, you must go to London. Student Flights has a range of cheap flights to help you get your London on, and if you're under 26, a student or teacher, you could save even more on your quest to make like a queen at Buckingham Palace with our Black Market Flights.
Flights from Australia to London disembark at England's major international hub, London Heathrow (LHR). Located 22 kilometres west of London's city centre, Heathrow handles more international passenger traffic than any other airport in the world. The airport is connected to various parts of London via train and tube networks. There's an express train direct service from Heathrow to Paddington Station. London Underground's Piccadilly line services the airport and provides opportunities to change lines and connect with all areas of the city. Heathrow also contains a bus station with services into Victoria station in London or other destinations in England.
London Flights
There are no direct flights from Australia to London. Departing from Sydney or Brisbane, take a 9-hour flight to either Malaysia, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur and connect onto London after about another 12 hours.

A convenient flight path from Perth to London has a stopover in Doha, Qatar and an average flight time of only 19 hours.

Some must-sees include the World Heritage sites of the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey and Kew Gardens. But, there are also plenty of other famous landmarks and you might like to try and make a queen's guard laugh outside Buckingham Palace, shop and eat and immerse yourself in Piccadilly Circus, take in a world-class performance at the West End or travel on the tube to Trafalgar Square and The Shard.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Clay WilsonA Riverdale police officer at the center of controversy over departmental race relations was demoted Friday, then reinstated Saturday and placed on administrative leave. Riverdale Police Capt. Phillip Neely was demoted to sergeant Friday evening. On Saturday, according to the Clayton County NAACP's Roberta Abdul-Salaam, Neely learned he had been reinstated to captain, but placed on administrative leave. Abdul-Salaam said Neely had showed her a letter from Riverdale Police Chief Mike Edwards informing him of the decision. The letter gave no reason for the move, she said. On Sunday, Riverdale Police Public Information Officer Debra Johnson confirmed that Neely had been placed on indefinite administrative leave. Johnson said she did not know the reason for the suspension. Nor did she know the reason for Neely's demotion. However, she said, "He is not the only change we have made." Johnson said Edwards had told her the department would announce other personnel changes on Monday, but did not say what they would be. Neely is one of several Riverdale employees who came forward recently with claims of racial discrimination and threats. The claims have hounded the department for weeks. Abdul-Salaam said the department's recent actions toward Neely are "really very frustrating, because we don't understand why this is happening." The Riverdale City Council held a called meeting at 5 p.m. Sunday afternoon. The council sent a notice of the meeting to the News Daily at 3 p.m. Saturday. According to the notice, the meeting was an executive session "for the purpose of discussing personnel matters." Council members could not be reached for comment on whether the meeting had anything to do with the police department. Johnson said late Sunday evening that she had no knowledge of the meeting.

Hey guys, I need an expert to idenify this frame for me. If anyone recognizes it please speak up.
Hey guys, I need an expert to idenify this frame for me. If anyone recognizes it please speak up.
Looks like a Kona Blast - either 2004 or 2005.
First Class Jerk
It has been claimed as another, more expensive model, and this is exactly why I am asking all of you. I'm planning on buying this frame on Ebay and I want to make sure that it is what they say. Santiago, thanks for your input, I hope you are wrong. Anyone else? Please help!
Which model are they claiming it to be....whatever it is, it has to have a short name. Ask for a picture of the top tube with the name on it.
The Kona XC hardtail line is actually just a few frames as far as I know:Originally Posted by cconley
- cromoly e.g. Explosif. The picture does not look like a cromoly frame.
- 7005 aluminum. Found on every hard tail starting at the Lana'i all the way up to the Caldera.
- Easton ultralite race frame (aluminum). Found on the higher end hard tails like the Kula and Kula deluxe. The Kula and Kula Deluxe are not black.
- Scandium race frame on the 2006 Kula Supreme. The picture is NOT a Kula Supreme.
The frame in the picture is most likely a 7005 aluminum frame. I believe every single hard tail from Kona starting from the low end Lana'i to the Caldera have the same frame only painted differently. The 2005 Kona Blast looks exactly like the picture you have.
Even if you were to get a "Caldera" frame, I really don't think it is anything different than any other 7005 frame in their lineup.
First Class Jerk
Here is a picture of a 2005 Blast.
First Class Jerk
Its actually an 03 Kula, the paint threw me off as well, I originally thought it was a Blast also. I did ask for another picture of the top tube but haven't heard back yet.
You'll have to find out if in 2003 the Kula came in the Easton race aluminum or in Scandium to be sure it is higher end. On the flip side, my understanding is that the race frames are more brittle and a frame that is pushing 3-4 years old may not be in tip-top shape.Originally Posted by cconley
First Class Jerk
It would have to be a hell of a deal for me to buy a 3-4 year old lightweight aluminum frame. Actually, on second thought, no deal would be good enough.
I agree. Here's a brand new Kona Caldera frame for $220 over at Speedgoat.Originally Posted by unsuspended
First Class Jerk
Its the aluminum frame, and after consulting Kona Tech I dont think I want to spend more than $100 on it. Kona said the original price for the frame was $350 and the guy is asking 200+ I'm afraid with a buy it now price of $300. Any advice?

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Lakshmi is a thirteen-year-old girl who lives with her family in a small hut in a mountain village in Nepal. Her life is made up of simple pleasures like going to school and spending time with her loving ama and baby brother. But these happy times are undercut by the desperate poverty that threatens the lives of the villagers.
Then one day, Lakshmi's father brings her to a shopkeeper in town and tells Lakshmi that she is going to go work as a maid in India so that her wages can be sent home. Glad to help support her family, Lakshmi undertakes the long journey and arrives at "Happiness House" full of hope. But she soon discovers the unthinkable truth: she has been sold into prostitution.
An old woman named Mumtaz rules the house with an iron fist. She informs Lakshmi that she is trapped there until she can pay off her family's debt. And of course, crooked Mumtaz will make sure that that never happens.
Lakshmi life becomes a nightmare from which she cannot escape. But gradually, she forms friendships that enable her to survive in this terrifying new world. Until the day comes that she has to make a decision — one that will cause her to risk everything to for a chance to reclaim her life.
Written in spare and evocative vignettes, this powerful novel chronicles the story of one girl's struggle to maintain her sense of self against all odds.
"This hard-hitting novel told in spare free verse poems exposes the plight of a 13-year-old Nepali girl sold into sexual slavery. Through Lakshmi's innocent first-person narrative, McCormick (Cut) reveals her gradual awakening to the harshness of the world around her. Even in their poverty-stricken rural home, Lakshmi finds pleasure in the beauty of the Himalayan mountains, the sight of Krishna, her betrothed, and the cucumbers she lovingly tends, then sells at market. After a monsoon wipes out their crops, her profligate stepfather sells Lakshmi to an 'auntie' bound for the city. During her journey, the girl acquires a visual and verbal vocabulary of things she has never seen before: electric lights, a TV. Soon a hard-won sense of irony invades her narrative, too. Early on, a poem entitled 'Everything I Need to Know' marks her step into womanhood (after her first menstrual cycle); later, 'Everything I Need to Know Now' lists her rules as an initiated prostitute. In her village, Lakshmi had rebelliously purchased her first Coca-Cola for her mother, after her stepfather sold her; later, in Calcutta, she overhears two johns talking and realizes, 'the price of a bottle of Coca-Cola at Bajai Sita's store./ That is what he paid for [a turn with] me.' The author beautifully balances the harshness of brothel life with the poignant relationships among its residents; especially well-drawn characters include the son of one of the prostitutes, who teaches Lakshmi to read and speak some English and Hindi, and clever Monica, who earns her freedom but gets sent back by her shamed family. Readers will admire Lakshmi's grit and intelligence, and be grateful for a ray of hope for this memorable heroine at book's end. Ages 12-up. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"McCormick uses language both lyrical and spare to lead the reader into this deeply troubled and troubling world." Children's Literature
"McCormick provides readers who live in safety and under protection of the law with a vivid window into a harsh and cruel world — one most would prefer to pretend doesn't exist." Kirkus Reviews
"In beautiful clear prose and free verse that remains true to the child's viewpoint, first-person, present-tense vignettes fill in Lakshmi's story." Booklist
"This is an important story, and McCormick tells it well." KLIATT
Lakshmi is a thirteen-year-old girl who lives with her family in a small hut on a mountain in Nepal. Though she is desperately poor, her life is full of simple pleasures, like playing hopscotch with her best friend from school, and having her mother brush her hair by the light of an oil lamp. But when the harsh Himalayan monsoons wash away all that remains of the family's crops, Lakshmi's stepfather says she must leave home and take a job to support her family.
He introduces her to a glamorous stranger who tells her she will find her a job as a maid in the city. Glad to be able to help, Lakshmi journeys to India and arrives at "Happiness House" full of hope. But she soon learns the unthinkable truth: she has been sold into prostitution.
An old woman named Mumtaz rules the brothel with cruelty and cunning. She tells Lakshmi that she is trapped there until she can pay off her family's debt-then cheats Lakshmi of her meager earnings so that she can never leave.
Lakshmi's life becomes a nightmare from which she cannot escape. Still, she lives by her mother's words-Simply to endure is to triumph-and gradually, she forms friendships with the other girls that enable her to survive in this terrifying new world. Then the day comes when she must make a decision-will she risk everything for a chance to reclaim her life?
Written in spare and evocative vignettes, this powerful novel renders a world that is as unimaginable as it is real, and a girl who not only survives but triumphs.
Thirteen-year-old Habo has always been different--light eyes, yellow hair and white skin. Not the good brown skin his family has and not the white skin of tourists. Habo is strange and alone. His father, unable to accept Habo, abandons the family; his mother can scarcely look at him. His brothers are cruel and the other children never invite him to play. Only his sister Asu loves him well. But even Asu can't take the sting away when the family is forced from their small Tanzanian village, and Habo knows he is to blame.
Seeking refuge in Mwanza, Habo and his family journey across the Serengeti. His aunt is glad to open her home until she sees Habo for the first time, and then she is only afraid. Suddenly, Habo has a new word for himself: Albino. But they hunt Albinos in Mwanza because Albino body parts are thought to bring good luck. And soon Habo is being hunted by a fearsome man with a machete. To survive, Habo must not only run, but find a way to love and accept himself.

I though that BF was going to help my LO from not getting sick as much, but it seems that it has not worked so well for me. My LO is 8 mo old and he is constantly sick. Granted he is in daycare which I know is a germ factory, but he seems to get everything that is going around. He might even be sick more often than most of the FF babies in his room. Am I doing something wrong or is it that every baby gets sick at some point in their life; as mine is just getting everything now and will be a very healthy toddler?

Loire Valley Chateau, how many to visit?
My husband and I will be visiting France next May but I'm working on our travel itinerary now, before I book my flights. My question is this, we'd like to see some of the Loire Valley chateaus but I don't want to overdue it. We'll visit Versailles while were in Paris, so that's one Palace already. My tentative plan is to spend two nights in Amboise. We'll arrive there in the late afternoon from our overnight in Dinan. My plan is to visit Chenonceau Chateaux in the early am and then proceed to Chambond in the afternoon. I thought about possibly stopping at Chaumont of Cheverny on the way back to Amboise to watch the hunting dogs being fed. The next day we'll move to Chinon or Azay-leRideau visiting Villandry and Langeais en route then spend the rest of the day relaxing. It seems like a lot of Chateaux to me and I'm not sure if my husband would enjoy this much. We prefer smaller, laid back, off the road village and experiences. Advice?

To update my original post, I've talked to my selling dealer numerous times and a 2nd dealer in my area and they've talked to Ford, both dealers have been concerned and responsive and for the most part so has Ford. The agreed upon and I think best plan is to drive a couple more thousand miles to 5,000 and see as the gear "wears in" if the "whine" goes away or is minimized. If not, the best option seems to be to replace 5th gear and not the entire transmission. I'll update my post. Thanks.

|More about COMANECI Nadia:
|(from Olympic Review, July 2004)
"In her case it was impossible!
We always started out with 10 and deducted marks for each mistake. We watched her routine almost open-mouthed. We were searching for a mistake, but there weren't any.
With Nadia, we ought to have started from 10 and added marks for every perfect move." the American judge Jackie Fie later revealed.
And if she was unable to believe her eyes, the electronic scoreboard coped even less well! It almost short- circuited because it was't programmed to display a score of 10, and on that evening of miracles it had to show seven times in the final of the asymmetric parallel bars. Seven tens, the first in the history of gymnastics, giving a total of 79.275 out of a possible 80 in the individual combined exercices, proving the perfection of the most flexible athlete of all time.
That flawlessness was celebrate a few days later on the covers of the Time magazine, wich waxed lyrical about the fourteen-year-old Romanian Olympic champion under the headline "She's perfect" and Newsweek, wich proclaimed " A Star is Born".
The story began eight years earlier.
Her parents, engineer Gheorghe Comaneci and Stefania-Alexandra, an office worker, separated when Nadia was very young. Her mother introduced her to Bela Karolyi, a veteran Hungarian handball player, who was destined to become the most famous Pygmalion in the history of sport (although in fact, Nadias true mentor was the wife of her trainer, Marta Karolyi). " I never had to push her.
I would tell her to do the same move twenty times and she would do it thirty. Uncomplaining, without a word," relates Bela Karolyi, who was the guardian of a unique treasure.
Her name began to be heard with increasing frequency in 1975, when she walked away from the European Championships at Skien in Norway with three gold medals and one silver, having dethroned the Soviet superstar gymnasts. The experts hat thought that Nelli Kim, Olga Korbut and Lyudmila Turshcheva were invincible. Far from it! At the Montreal Olympic Games, where the finances plummeted into the red, the favourites in gymnastics were left red-faced too, as a little girl, who by rights should still have been playing with her dolls,showed them to be mere mortals.
Suddendly, in one evening, the name of Comaneci became universally known as a symbol of harmony, elegance, grace and perfection, making previous standarts of excellence look commomplace. On the evening that her third gold medal was hung around her neck, a journalist asked her what she desired most of all. " to go home", she answered, completely naturally. A little later, she was asked if she was thinking of retiring after her triumph."Retiring?But I'm not even fourteen years old yet!" she retorted, as her mind came up with her wildest fantasy, a temptation that had been tormenting her for months: a chocolate!
Returning to Bucharest, Nicolae Ceausescu lavished her with rewards. He made her a Hero of Socialist Labour, bestowing the country's highest prize on her. The honorary events and awards were unending, and a monthly salary of 150 dollars completed her happiness.
She was too young to understand what it all meant and too inocent to have any inkling of the miseries that she would later endure.
Four years later, Nadia was a woman.At 18 years old, she was 10 centimetres taller; with a few surplus kilograms and less strength than she had had as a spirited younster in Montreal. She was less full of fire than in 1976, but remained perfect, even if this time she fell from the uneven parallel bars ten seconds before the close of a legendary programme. Two weeks before the Games began in what was, for the usurper of Soviet rule in gymnastics, the unwelcoming city of Moscow, Elena Muchina, her customary opponent, who had been selected by the hosts to beat Comaneci - broke her spine and was paralysed for life. The legendary showdown never took place, and Nadia left Moscow with two golds and two silvers, essentially having brought down the curtain of her career.
The epilogue came in the following year , at the 1981 World University Games, when the first clouds of misery had started to appear in a life that up to then had been bright and glamorous. The director's son, Nicu, began to turn his unwelcome attentions to her and the more Nadia refused to submit to his desires, the more violent Ceausescu became, because until then, no woman had ever turned him down. " My life was hell.
The victory in Montreal was a very distant recollection, and I never look at the video of the Games, because it makes me cry", she later revealed. The proof? In 1984 she joined her country's team at the Los Angeles Olympic Games, where she was constantly shadowed by the Romanian secret police. She thought of following the example of her Pygmalion, Karolyi, who had defected to the USA in 1981, but thought better of it.
She was later banned from leaving her country. Five years later - during which time, as she later revealed, she contemplated suicide - she finally resolved to leave.
On 28th November 1989, with the help of Constantine Panait, she and six of her fellow countrymen left at night, boarded a train, and walked six hours in the rain until they arrived at Szeged in southern Hungary. From there, they went to Vienna, and with the intervention of the American embassy, Nadia and Panait travelled to the USA, where they were granted political asylum.
A new life began in the land of opportunity, but this too was an ordeal. From Ceausescu's prey she became the hostage of Panait, who had left behind his wife and four children in Romania and was now putting into action his plan to exploit Comaneci shamelessly, signing over to him all the profits she made from her gymnastics display. "I put up with him because I was afraid that if I didn't he would send me back to Romania," she said, wich was her greatest fear. some friends, including Bela Karolyi and two-times Olympic champion at Los Angeles, Bart Conner, realised what Panait was up to, and laid a trap for him, enlistening the help of Alexander Stefu, a Romanian American football trainer, who invited him and Comaneci to Montreal to discuss a contract. Comaneci admitted her suffering and Panait took the car, together with 100,000 dollars, and disappeared.
The dragon had been slain and life smiled on her once more. In 1994 she returned to Romania after five years, where she met with adulation. A school was named after her, and she received awards from the country's President, Ion Iliescu and the Orthodox Patriarch Theoktistos, who admitted that " Her presence brought more people to the Church than I had never seen befor in my life." On 27th April 1996, Nadia married Bart Conner in Bucharest and visited her country again, donating a sum of 100,000 dollars to support the gymnastics team for the Atlanta Olympic Games.
Free of the ghosts of the past, she lives in the glory of her legend, and is able to watch the video of the magical night in Montreal without fear. Together with her husband, she teaches gymnastics at their own academy in Norman, Oklahoma. They travel the world, advertising Kodak, Swatch and Coca Cola, and doing charitable work, and from time to time Nadia adds to her collection with honorary awards, the most prestigious being that given to her and Carl Lewis when they were named the top athletes of the twentieth century.
In the end, as in all fairy-tales, she lived happily ever after.

Does the Coast Guard get respect?
Does the Coast Guard get respect from Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines? Or do Navy guys say it's for people too chicken to join the Navy? I don't know what the Marines or Air Force might say. Something equally contemptuous. Can a Coast Guard veteran call himself or herself a 'veteran' in the way that we think of Veteran's Day and sacrifice and national pride. [more inside]

Texas Gulf Coast
What are some of your favorite things to do in Port Aransas, TX? Some friends and I have a house-share over 4th of July weekend and we were wondering what all there is to do there, good places to eat, stuff to see.

What's the mid Florida coast like for winter rentals?
We are looking for a way to get out of the cold for at least two months during the northeast winter and have been trying to figure out if its possible to rent a small ( one bedroom) place in the coast of Florida.

Specific recommendations: Car camping on the central California coast?
Five of us from San Francisco and Los Angeles like to meet in the middle along the coast once a year and car-camp for a long weekend.

In case we can't get one of the spots we want there, we'd like some backups to make reservations with somewhere between the southern end of Monterey Bay and San Luis Obispo—any suggestions? Hang on, let me tell you what we liked about Limekiln. [more inside]
It's a sailboat!
Maybe you know this art print? Years ago I lost a piece of art that I loved but didn't know anything about. It was a sketch of a dry-docked small (single-person? in the perspective it looked to be about a 12-foot craft) sailboat, sail down, in a field of waving shore grass, looking out towards the sea and the back of the boat. The surf was far away, maybe 100 yards or so, and the boat was positioned in the lower right-hand quadrant of the piece though not in the corner. The original medium was was pencil or charcoal on paper. When I see it I think "New England coast" and "loneliness". It was a yellowish-greenish-sepia tone, or perhaps that was just the paper it was litho'd on. I recall it was an official print numbered in pencil on the matting and framed in a low-profile chrome frame. Do you know the work? Can you speculate on the name of the artist? I'd really like to be able to attempt to get another copy. [more inside]

Goin' to Florabama with a banjo on my knee
Going to Gulf Shores, Alabama, the week after Labor Day weekend. We'll have a car. The beach is fun, but we are both fair-skinned sun wimps and will need interesting hikes/historical things to amuse us when it's time for shade. What should we see and do? What should we skip? We are in our 30's, amenable to visiting and enjoying a few signature Redneck Riviera highlights but mostly want to spend time together and get reacquainted.
Maine cheaply, chiefly.
36 hours in Maine this weekend with a rental car. I am thinking of not getting a hotel room and instead car-camping. I'll be in Camden Maine for a wedding Friday and Saturday and plan to return to Boston late on Saturday to take a bus to DC. I want to spend as much of Friday wandering around Portland before driving to Camden and kind of want to spend the morning in Portland on Saturday, too. Is this a good idea? Any tips on quiet places to park and snooze?

The late Heath Ledger was honored on Sunday night, as the actor won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in "The Dark Knight."
Director Christopher Nolan accepted the award on Ledger's behalf.
"All of us who worked with Heath accept this award with an awful mixture of sadness but incredible pride," Nolan said. "After Heath passed on, you saw a hole ripped in the future of cinema. But with the extraordinary response to his work that we've seen all over the world, I, for one, start to look a bit less at that gap in the future and a little bit more at the incredible place in the history of cinema he built for himself with his talent and his dedication and his artistry."
"For any of us lucky enough to work with him, for any of us lucky enough to enjoy his performances, he will be eternally missed but he will never be forgotten," the director continued.
Prior to Nolan's acceptance speech, a brief scene of Ledger as The Joker was shown.
The award marks the first Golden Globe award in Ledger's career.
In a statement to People, Heath's father expressed his delight for his son's win.
"We are overjoyed for him," Kim Ledger said. "It's wonderful."
Heath's father cited personal reasons for not being able to make the trip from his home in Perth, Australia, to the Golden Globes ceremony in Hollywood.
Meanwhile, Ledger's "Dark Knight" co-star, Aaron Eckhart, echoed Nolan's sentiments prior to the show during a red carpet interview with Ryan Seacrest.
"I get the chills when I talk about him. I'm very proud of him, I've proud to have known him and been in the movie with him," Eckhart said.

Banishing Veronaby Margot Livesey
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
A couple begins an intense affair, only to be separated abruptly — and perhaps irrevocably — in this surprising, suspenseful love story.
Zeke is twenty-nine, a man who looks like a Raphael angel and who earns his living as a painter and carpenter in London. He reads the world a little differently from most people and has trouble with such ordinary activities as lying, deciphering expressions, recognizing faces. Verona is thirty-seven, confident, hot-tempered, a modestly successful radio show host, unmarried, and seven months pregnant. When the two meet in a house that Zeke is renovating, they fall in love, only to be separated less than twenty-four hours later when Verona leaves abruptly, without explanation, for Boston.
Both Zeke and Verona, it turns out, have complications in their lives, though not of a romantic kind. Verona's involve her brother, Henry, who is tied up in shady financial dealings. Zeke's father has had a heart attack and his mother is threatening to run away with her lover, all of which puts pressure on Zeke to take over the family grocery business. And yet he finds himself following Verona to Boston. As he pursues her, and she pursues Henry, both are forced to ask the perplexing question: Can we ever know another person?
Deftly plotted and filled with unexpected twists, Banishing Verona marks the arrival of another lyrical and wise novel from a writer whose work "radiates with compassion and intelligence and always, deliciously, mystery" (Alice Sebold).
"Livesey's lovely fifth novel tells the story of Zeke, a 29-year-old London housepainter with 'the face of a Raphael angel' and an autism-like difficulty relating to other people, and Verona, who shows up at a house Zeke is working on, very pregnant and claiming to be the owners' niece. After they spend a night together, Verona disappears, leaving a pair of painter's coveralls nailed to the floor. Neither can forget the other. As Zeke goes on a hunt for the mysterious Verona, she calls him — from Boston, where she has, in a slightly far-fetched turn of events, gone to hunt down her blithely amoral brother, Henry, to convince him to repay his creditors, who have begun threatening her. Zeke heeds her instructions to meet her there, only to spend days alone in a hotel room as she contacts him from New York and then from London, when, Henry's financial matters settled, she abruptly goes home. Devastated, he returns to London, ignores her calls (even burying his answering machine to fully banish her), but finally gives in to the powerful connection he felt the moment he met her. The off-kilter chronology of their alternating stories works well, and both Zeke and Verona have just enough quirks to be endearing without being implausible; the supporting characters are similarly well realized. As Livesey (Eva Moves the Furniture) gently probes the depths of longing, betrayal and forgiveness, her gift for creating sublimely unexpected sentences is abundantly on display: Zeke's 'emotions were swirling and scattering like leaves in a playground on a windy day; he glimpsed joy, rage, hope, amazement, jealousy, frustration and exaltation flashing by.' 'You're the opposite of Narcissus,' an old girlfriend of Zeke's tells him. Moments like these are ghosts that dance in the reader's vision long after the photographer's flashbulb has popped. Agent, Amanda Urban. Author tour. (Nov. 3)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Livesey constructs another of her reflective but surprisingly gripping tales....
"Told from the parallel viewpoints of her wistful hero and his winsome heroine, Livesey's unlikely yet enchanting romance poignantly reveals the mysterious machinations of the human heart." Booklist
"Margot Livesey gives us a witty 21st-century Odyssey by taking us to the outer limits of love and loyalty and back home again....You may...recognize bits of Zeke's malady in yourself and wish you had more of his special insight." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"This gem of a novel manages to be funny, frightening, and upbeat all at the same time. Highly recommended." Library Journal
"Banishing Verona reminds me just why Margot Livesey is one of my favorite contemporary writers, those who keep the novel alive and vividly engaging. For her keen wit and wise heart, for her mingling of the tender with the diabolical — never mind her knack for holding the reader in thrall to a suspenseful story — she is a master, pure and simple." Julia Glass, author of Three Junes
"Margot Livesey's is such a personal, endearing, sharp voice, and this is a sly, special and funny book." Diane Johnson, author of L'Affaire
"In Banishing Verona, Livesey, a first-rate storyteller, examines the ties that bind families and lovers. Her take on life is original, her use of perspective is deft, and her prose lovely. Zeke is captivating." USA Today
"Tantalizing...Livesey has taken a familiar plot device and has turned it into such a delicious literary construct that it seems new." Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"Livesey is interested not in medical conditions but in the human condition....In fact, [she] expands (as is fiction's mission) our notion of what being human can mean." New York Times
"In Livesey's deft hands, their connection is as credible (and incredible) as love itself....[She] pulls it off effortlessly." The Boston Globe
An obsessive-compulsive housepainter and a pregnant talk show host who goes back and forth between wanting to rescue her wayward brother and wanting to rescue herself, meet and spend the next few weeks chasing each other across continents to decide if it's the real thing.
Deftly plotted and filled with unexpected twists, Banishing Verona marks the arrival of another lyrical and wise novel from a writer whose work "radiates with compassion and intelligence and always, deliciously, mystery" (Alice Sebold).
Zeke is twenty-nine and working as a carpenter and painter in London. Verona is thirty-seven, headstrong, and seven months pregnant. When the two meet in a house that Zeke is renovating, they fall in love, only to be separated less than 24 hours later when Verona mysteriously disappears. After much searching, Zeke discovers that Verona has travelled to Boston to help Henry, her brother, disentangle himself from some shady financial matters.

Palazzo Gia dei Capitani
Palazzo dei Capitani with its interesting facade is facing Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, situated almost at its end. It is 15th century construction built on a site of an previous very interesting palace which was demolished and disappeared from the spot. The building is beautifully decorated by paintings and coats of arms which showing that in the past Pordenone belonged to the Austrian-Hungarian empire. It name indicates that building served to the military purposes.
Corso Vittorio Emanuele II
Corso Vittorio Emanuelle II is the real heart of Pordenone, its old core where the most major sites could be seen. It is also the main city promenade, street where most of the cafe-bars and restaurants could be found and finally, it is the commercial heart of this small town.
Palazzo Ricchieri
Palazzo Ricchieri, situated right opposite to the Palazzo Comunale, is certainly one of the most beautiful medieval buildings in the town of Pordenone. It is one of the oldest buildings in the town built in the 12th century. Originally, the palace was much smaller building, built as a home with defending tower, as it was usual construction of the medieval palaces.Today this palace is home of Museo Civico d'Arte (the Civic Museum of Art) where one can see interesting paintings of Giovanni Antonio de' Sacchi, better known as Il Pordenone, the most important painter from the area of Friuli.
The museum is closed on Monday.
Loggia del Municipio
Palazzo Comunale, also known as Loggia del Municipio, is very original building built in Gothic style in between 1291 to 1395. Actually, the ground floor has three Gothic arches, while the loggia, the clock tower and the pinacles were added later on in the 16th century. The palace is situated at the and of Corso Vittotio Emanuele, overlooking with one side to Piazza San Marco and the cathedral. Nowadays it is the seat of the Town Council.
Chiesa della Santissima Trinita
The 16th century church of Santissima Trinita is situated outside the old core of the town, just about hundred meters away from Piazza San Marco across the bridge of the river Noncello. This eight-sided massive building, designed by Ippolito Marone, was completely built with bricks. The inner area is decorated with some precious frescoes painted by Calderari and some other less known painters in 1450.
Duomo di San Marco
Beautiful Romanesque-Gothic styled San Marco cathedral was built from late 14th to the first half of 15th century. It was then than reconstructed several times and completely remodelled in the 18th century by the architect Domenico Rossi.
The elegant campanile, 72 meters high, was built between 1291 and 1347 up to the bell cell, while the spire was added in the 16th century.
The cathedral preserve highly valuable and famous painting "Madonna della Misericordia", work of Giovanni de' Sacchis (1484-1539), better known as Il Pordenone.

SSC Ultimate Aero: the grudge match
This is supercar maker SSC's latest weapon in an ongoing speed war. It wants to reclaim the world record from the Veyron SS…
Posted: 02 Nov 2011
It was supercar-generic on the outside. The interior was frankly a bit kit-car. Shelby is candid: "I designed it. The aerodynamics were much the most important thing to me, and the appearance was only semi-important... and the interior was unimportant." He's a self-professed control freak, but in this case he now admits this was a crushing error in the eyes of actual customers. Luckily a hotshot designer had just become available.
Jason Castriota has one of the absolute premier-league supercar design CVs. An Italian-American who made his name in the former country and has since set up a design practice in the latter, he seemed a perfect fit. He knew the market for supercars, and he knew the super-expensive end of it through working with owners on multi-million-pound one-off commissions. He was also passionately interested in aerodynamics.

2 While noodles cook, cut veal steaks into quarters.
Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a pie plate.
Dip veal into flour mixture to coat both sides.
3 Brown quickly, a few pieces at a time, in butter or margarine in a large frying pan; remove and set aside for Step 6.
4 Stir any remaining flour mixture and bouillon cube into drippings in frying pan; stir in water slowly.
Cook, stirring constantly and scraping browned bits from bottom and side of pan, until sauce thickens and boils for 1 minute.
5 Stir a small amount of hot sauce into sour cream in a medium-size bowl, then stir in remaining sauce, parsley, and lemon rind.
Pour over noodles in kettle; toss lightly to mix.

Awesome Mountaineering Boots
Awesome mountaineering boots. These are my first full-shank leather boots for waterfall ice. I've climbed for a long time with Scarpa Inverno's and I haven't noticed a difference in warmth between them and the Nepal Evo's. These boots were very easy to break in----they were pretty much ready to go out of the box which was quite surprising! On alpine and waterfall ice routes they have performed amazingly well---the ability to move my ankles through a range of motion is a huge advantage when compared to climbing in double mountaineering boots. The Nepal Evo's might also be a good choice for people with a narrow heel & ankle as the they are the first boots I've had where I don't need to do fancy lacing or add inserts to lock my heels down to prevent them from moving inside the boot. Also, having the tongue inserts that come with the boots is a creative way to tweak the fit of these boots. Overall, I'm really pleased with the Nepal Evo's

Habs, up 2-1, host B's tonightTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | May 08,2014BROSSARD, Quebec Dale Weise is finding out what its like to be a Montreal Canadien when theyre winning in the springtime.
Some were not happy when general manager Marc Bergevin sent defenseman Raphael Diaz to Vancouver Canucks for the little-known Weise on Feb. 3.
Now the energetic fourth-line winger is becoming a playoff star.
His breakaway goal in Game 3 of a NHL Eastern Conference semifinal on Tuesday night became his second game-winner of the playoffs as the Canadiens downed the rival Boston Bruins 4-2 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Weise had scored in overtime in the first game of an opening-round sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
His first taste of his new-found fame came this week when he was out for a stroll with his fiancee, with 7-month-old son Hunter in a stroller.
This car pulled over right on the sidewalk, Weise said Wednesday. The guy was in the drivers seat and I was on the right side.
In the middle of the green light hes reached across and hes banging on the window and yelling. My fiancees like `what is this guy doing? Shes freaking out, and hes giving me the thumbs-up. It was pretty outrageous.
Weise will have a chance to increase his popularity even more in Game 4 on Thursday night at the Bell Centre, as the Canadiens attempt to take a 3-1 series lead.
Taking a lead on the favored Bruins has built a considerable buzz in Montreal, but a series in which Boston has looked overwhelming at times is far from over.
The Canadiens blew 2-0 and 3-2 leads before winning in overtime in the series opener. Then they wasted a 3-1 lead by allowing four third-period goals in a 5-3 loss in Game 2 in Boston.
At home on Tuesday night, Montreal scored twice in the first period and made it 3-0 on Weises goal before the Bruins scored twice. Lars Eller ended the rally with a final-minute empty-net goal.
This is such a huge rivalry, Weise said. When they meet in the regular season its looked at like a playoff matchup. Its such a cool thing to be a part of.
The Bruins acknowledge they did not have their best game, staring with goalie Tuukka Rask, who allowed three goals on 25 shots and who has allowed 10 in three games.
Perhaps for the first time in the playoffs, they missed injured defense veterans Dennis Seidenberg and Adam McQuaid, as youngster Dougie Hamilton in particular struggled at times.
McQuaid is gone for the season, and while Seidenberg is skating, there was no word on when he may return.
But the Bruins can never be counted out, as theyve shown repeatedly in recent seasons.
Were a group thats confident, but we have guys now that are frustrated, Boston coach Claude Julien said. They know they have to be better and they will be better.
Its a 2-1 series. Its not the end of the world here. Weve just got to battle back. Theres no reason to panic. We havent in the past and were not about to panic now.
The Canadiens had surprises for Boston, including a tweak of the top two lines that saw Thomas Vanek put on the second unit with Tomas Plekanec and Michael Bournival while Brendan Gallagher moved up with David Desharnais and Max Pacioretty.
Montreal also got a strong 26-save outing from goalie Carey Price and a third straight two-point game from defenseman P.K. Subban, who has 11 points in the past six playoff games.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Subban is the first Canadiens defenseman to record a six-game playoff point streak since Larry Robinson in 1985.
He is a game changer, Gallagher said of Subban. Hes just giving us a lot of energy right now.
The Canadiens also used one of their strengths, shot-blocking, to turn away 29 attempts before they could reach Price.
Theyre taking away a lot of scoring chances, Boston forward Shawn Thornton said. They came out with a lot of energy.
I thought our pace was pretty good, but if you give up a couple of goals, then youre chasing. We have to shore it up and hopefully get back to the way we were used to playing.
It has all combined to make it a pleasant time to be Canadien, especially for a newcomer such as Weise.
The 25-year-old had a goal and an assist for his first playoff game with more than one point and only the second of his 192-game NHL career.
He was one of three pickups ahead of the March 5 trade deadline, along with defenseman Mike Weaver and Vanek, who have been key contributors to the Canadiens playoff run.
Weise may not even have had a chance to play had Travis Moen and Alex Galchenyuk not been injured when the playoffs started. Now it is hard to see how coach Michel Therrien could take him out.
Although he is from Winnipeg, Weise grew up a Montreal fan, mainly because his father cheered on the Canadiens. So he considered the trade a dream come true.
In his third season in Vancouver, Weise didnt play much, but landed on his feet as a regular fourth liner in Montreal. He was scratched three games in a row late in the season, but has been on a roll since then. He considered it a wakeup call.
And now hes getting star treatment from Canadiens fans, which he said never happened before, even in a hockey market such as Vancouver.
I was in a grocery store and I was walking into an elevator and this guy wouldnt let me get on the elevator, a grinning Weise recalled of another recent incident. He was grabbing my shoulder, he was so excited and pumped up.
Then his buddy beside him said relax, relax and the elevator was closing and he kept saying `Im sorry, Im sorry. I love the passionate fans. I think its awesome.MORE IN Wire SportsWHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. For a change, Tiger Woods got off to a good start.
