Fine Dining
One of the newest fine-dine restaurants in town.The decor is very simple, elegant with loads of open spaces. Tables are well spaced out giving you your privacy. The food is very delicious & the presentation is unique. Their cuisine boasts of conventional as well as experimental. Coconut milk with burnt garlic deserves a special mention. Place is crowded during weekends and needs prior reservations.
A good experience
78 Degree has a lovely interior which makes the place look very inviting. The staff was courteous and the spread was reasonable. For a buffet of Rs. 275/-, the food was worth it. The starters and soup were brought to our table and the food was warm and tasted fresh. The dessert was a good spread of some 4 dishes. On the whole, we enjoyed our meal and would definitely be dropping in again.
Good gone bad
The first time I visited this place, I was in love with it. That was 2-3 years ago. My last visit a couple of weekends ago was very bad. Delay in service, limited spread of buffet, average food and when you're looking for a waiter to order something, you will need to stop eating and yell to call them! I am a customer and I demand your attention and quality!

Finally a Round-The Cornet Joint for me :D
After a couple of reviews from my colleagues at work, I had to try 78 Deg. East which I was very skeptical about one because this was in Habsiguda, a place not well renowned for food and two this was very close to my house (ghar ki murgi ...... syndrome)
I know it is wrong to judge a place when a Ala-carte resto serves buffet ... but then this was one of the few places where we could go on a new-year's eve with my familia partly because there was no alcohol served. We were there for the food !
Very neat on the ambience front with nicely done sofa's along with curtained cubicle-esque interiors the seating was very good. They were playing the year-end Cd of all bollywood mixes which was not up my musical alley .....
As for the food spread there were the usual suspects .... the salads, soups 2 * non-veg , 4 * veg dishes .... tried out the soup and the chicken starters which were surprisingly cold !! plus the starters had them bones which did not make for a good starter-dish .... There was the andhra-fish and the rogan gosht which were okay and seemed to have a same gravy base
finding that the biryani's (chicken and mutton) were cold ticked me off and i raised my voice at the main usher who promptly apologized and replaced that with one right off the pan which had a better taste and different method of preparation ( which is why i hate seeing ala-carte joints go buffet) !
Did not give much of an eye to the Vegetarian dishes for they seemed to be regular stuff (panner / mix veg / +1 ) ....
on the sweet dish front there was the cake, the gulab jamun which was hot and the ice-cream .....
all in all a good ambience but was disappointed with the food quotient, but something tells me that a re-try with ala-carte menu would be better ....
to sum up ... would rate
food - 2.5/5
ambience - 3.5/5
overall - 2.5/5
will give another visit to this place .....
Not a bad one...
Friends suggested that the Lunch buffet is worth its price and quite a good deal. So decided to try this place out last weekend. And it was pretty decent for 275 bucks for the sunday lunch. The staff is cordial and helpful. Starters and soup were served along with the complimentary drinks. Could have done with a bit more variety and expand their desert table as well but it wasn't a bad deal after all.

To be or not to be
Ambiance - 4/5
Food - 3/5
Service - 4/5
Imagine staying at Madhapur and hosting a party at Habsiguda. I know lot was on stake. Actually, I had to face the ire and brunt of my invitees who tried to rub salt on me to choose something other of the city. Somehow, pampered them to come down and celebrate my 26th.
I pre booked my table for 15 an hour before we reached. On reaching we were welcomed to quite a decent interior. Instant spark came inside me, 'Thank God'. We were seated in a curtained enclosure and the soups and starters were served on the table. There were no non-veg soup to be served.
The best part of the buffet is people can choose what they want to eat. We reached out with our plates only to wait for refills. it was long wait in the queue because of weekend. The refills were slow and little and were fast going out.
The food was decent, though there were not many to try. Everyone was satisfied and made till the deserts smoothly.
Since, the buffet was moderately priced, it did not make a deeper hole in the pocket.
A strong suggestion for visitor, try it for the looks, the food still need to be impressive
Just plain rubbish
After reading earlier reviews, i've decided to take 8 of my guests for lunch on a sunday.
Made a phone call and booked the table for 8.The restaurant is on 5th floor of a building. Informed the guy standing at the door entrance, that i am so and so and booked a table. He plainly said that it will take 15, 20 mins for any table to be vacated and asked me to wait, but offered no place to sit or stand. It felt so awkward to stand outside the door of a restaurant, where there is absolutely no room to even stand, without any circulation of air. Since its a sunday, i felt its natural for any restaurant to be full, but this is gross, there is no room to wait !!!!!
After 30 mins of suffocation outside the door, we were called inside only to make us stand behind the table, while it is being cleaned.
Everybody settled down, and we asked for the menu. I just couldn't believe when i was told there isn't any Menu and the only thing available is "Lunch Buffet". I got up from my chair and tried to look at the things available in the buffet. "chicken biryani", "wet chicke", "dry chicken" and all rest of veggies. No prawns, No mutton, No Fish. I asked myslelf "Am i going to feed my guests with whatever rubbish these guys have without any choice to my guests ?"
I said a big NO, apologized to all my guests and moved out.
(While we are leaving I was asked by one of the guys standing, the reason for leaving.
I told him that i've come here looking at the reviews about your restaurant in a website, but what i find to my utter dismay is quite opposite. I said, "You cant serve "Banjara Tangdi" or "zafrani malai kabab", and why should we eat, whatever you offer". He replied that "Banjara Tangdi" is available in yesterday's "Buffet Menu" !!!!!
I really felt pity of all other people eating at their 78 east restaurant...
To the management - "Rename the name of your restaurant to "Buffet restaurant" with a tag line [b]"we cant serve what you want, we serve what we want".[/b]

Must visit.
With a mix of white gold and wood the ambience is stunning and gives a wonderful view of the city with the lights on. From there begins the experience of food and restaurant. The mughlai food is brilliant and the palate enjoys the true flavours of hyderabadi cuisine.
Coming from a foodie : Do Visit :)

Flavors of Hyderabad in Habsiguda
78 Degrees East restaurant is located in Habsiguda, which is closer to Secunderabad. A fine dining restaurant that specializes in Hyderabadi cuisine, gets its name from the longitude of Hyderabad. 78 Degrees East boasts of a lavish ambiance that spells one word: Royalty. Dressed up in hues of gold, this restaurant was designed by the same team that designed Zafraan Exotica in Banjara Hills.
We tried a sample of their cuisine yesterday and we were very impressed with the food and the presentation. We tried the Banjara Tangdi which is Hyderabad's version of the Tangdi kabab. It was a little on the spicier side and I absolutely loved it. We then tried the Zafraani Malai kabab. This one tasted heavenly. It was just mildly spicy and can be eaten by pretty much everyone.
Siddharth, our host for the evening, insisted we try the shorba. We had the tomato shorba and it was delectable. I generally avoid tomato soups of any kind but yesterday was an exception. I absolutely loved the shorba and I recommend that everyone try it out.
The icing on the cake (pun absolutely intended) was their in-house specialty, the ice-cream cake. This is a cake that has layers of butterscotch and the amazing cake and is one amazing dessert. A must try!
Heres how you can get to 78 Degrees East:

I don't generally like to dissuade people from iOS apps because the devs are working hard and generally do a good job, but I signed up for Feed Wrangler from the same dev when it first launched, and was quite disappointed. The iOS app was never improved upon and for as long as I used it, it remained on version 1.0.
The actual RSS service didn't work very well and you could only do some things on the awfully deigned web interface, and not from the app. So what's the point of having the app if you need to ids the web interface for adding or removing feeds?
Having read the review above it seems pretty bare bones and I wonder how long it will take for it to get new features, if at all. And I wonder how well the servers will work considering they've dropped out a number of times on Feed Wrangler.
Plus there's the fact that there are already a lot of podcast apps in the App Store and many of them are already very good. I use Pocket Casts and it's light years ahead. It's so excellent you can't imagine.
If you want a barebones podcast app just get the free, and very good, Podcasts app from Apple. If you want the most full featured and beautifully designed app, choose Pocket Casts.
I don't see why you would want this app.

Regarding Guardian's question: Here's how the food-stamp scheme typically works: A customer with an electronic food-stamp card, or Bridge Card, goes to a store and obtains about half of its value in cash (or ineligible items such as cigarettes). The store is then reimbursed for the full amount by the government. The store has to make it look like a legitimate purchase. Thanks, John
To Detroitfan99: Highlighting a 2008 crash isn't going too far into the history books. I found this crash, as well as a 2010 crash of Jennifer Roesly and her family, compelling. http://www.mlive.com/news/index.ssf/2012/02/im_dying_family_copes_with_sca.html.
Here's why I looked back: Records for 2011 are not yet available. I found, also, that some people in 2010 crashes were concerned about being interviewed because they still had claims unresolved with insurance companies or were considering court action. I also wanted to see how these crashes affected people years later. Is it still part of their lives? They have had a chance to think about it. Jennifer Anderson had an interesting take: she had been involved in such a crash but still finds herself reaching for the phone at times. Pretty bad crash, too, when a driver goes from far right lane, and hits a car broken down on left shoulder. By the way, she pulled to the left shoulder when her car died because she was already in the left lane, and thought it easier and safer to get off the road there. Thanks for reading, John

Regarding DitesOui's question about his record. State police and Department of Corretions records showed no previous felony convictions (or misdemeanors). The District Court records showed that he was bound over to Kent County Circuit Court on June 4, 2010, charges of aggravated, felonious assault. I cannot find any records for him in Circuit Court. It's possible that he could have been prosecuted under a youthful offender program that wipes out charges if the offender stays out of trouble for certain period of time. In that case, the records are not public and don't show up anywhere. It seems the record would show up if the charges were dismissed outright. Thanks, John

To yurworstnitemare, Put a new map in, don't know why the arrow wasn't on the first one, thanks, John
Autopsies are standard in suspicious deaths, possible homicides. If the case goes to trial, prosecutor would have to call the pathologist to testify, in great detail, how and why the gunshots killed the victims. Testimony could include trajectory of shots, which wounds could have caused death, defensive wounds, use of alcohol, drugs. The pathologist could also rule out other potential causes. Thanks, John
I'm not sure how it went down, or the rules there. I'd have to check, thanks, John
You've got it right, prosecutors charged two separate alleged incidents. The complaint, in both cases, says he engaged in sex with "the victim being at least 16 but less than 18 years of age and a student at a school and defendant was a teacher, substitute teacher, or administrator of the school, school district or intermediate school district where the victim was enrolled ..."
Me either, thanks, fixed it. John
The offense occurred on Nov. 20. He was arrested and booked into jail on Monday. I made changes in story so it should read better. thanks, John

There's an update: The owners of the home own a couple of Hallmark stores in the Petoskey area.

|Eliminated From The Glee Project
|June 26, 2012 (Sexuality)

Tyler Ford is a contender on the second season of The Glee Project. They were eliminated in the fourth episode, Sexuality. Tyler's pronouns are "they/them/theirs".[1]
Tyler has an ear for music. They have been performing for 11 years, and is passionate about picking up and learning to play different instruments like the ukulele, for instance. Tyler is very independent in their lifestyle and ambitions. When they were 18 months old, Tyler taught themself how to read by sleeping with maps and the TV guide in his crib. Currently they is a student at Vanderbilt University. Tyler is half black, half white, Jewish and transgender. Tyler originally auditioned for The Glee Project at the Nashville open casting call: "I decided to audition because I love performing so I've always wanted to do that as my career, and The Glee Project came along and the audition was five minutes from my school, so why not? I hadn't seen The Glee Project before, but I did know I wanted to be on Glee. I went to the open call in Nashville and waited for four hours with like 500 other people and got to Robert. It's crazy to think this all happened because of an open call" (from they exit interview with EW magazine).
Tyler originally knew they was a boy when they was 3 or 4, according to a Tumblr post. " I was too young for my gender identity to cause conflict between my brain and body, but I absolutely knew that I was a boy. I knew in elementary school, but didn't have the words or enough grasp of the situation to express myself. I knew who I was and who I wanted to be, but I also never questioned adults (aloud) as a child and was always aiming to please them. I heard "you're a girl - go stand in line with the other girls" enough times to just accept that it was something that I had to do." he said in this post. " Over the summer between 6th and 7th grade (a few months shy of age 13), I decided to repress my identity to try to fit in. I tried to "be [stereotypically] feminine" for 3 years, and by sophomore year of high school, I was too depressed to care. However, by this point, I had repressed my identity so much that gender wasn't even on my mind anymore. I knew things were wrong, but I couldn't place them. I only knew that I felt completely different from everyone I came into contact with. High school was generally a horrible experience, with the exception of some awesome teachers and opportunities perform in several talent shows." He said he started questioning his gender identity the summer after his freshman year of college: "I was a camp counselor for 12-14 year old boys. I spent a lot of my free time reading blogs and watching vlogs by trans people. Over the months, I questioned everything about myself and what I wanted to do with my life." He went back to school but kept feeling an overwhelming sense of depression, saying "Every single day was a war in my head. I tried to pinpoint exactly what I wanted, why I wanted it, and at what cost I could make it happen. I was suicidal and terrified of my future and who I was becoming as a result of depression. As desperate and miserable as I felt, I saw a microscopic light in the very back of my mind. I've always had a sense of purpose, and I knew that if I found a way to get myself through everything I was dealing with, I'd be able to live an amazing life and change the lives of others. This honestly did not make me feel any better, but it was enough to push me to just survive every day. Every single day continued to be the worst I'd ever had, but I slowly came to understand myself better. After an entire year of questioning myself and my identity, I came to the decision that I wanted to live in the body I'd wished for since I was a kid. I wanted to start hormones no matter the cost, because I couldn't stand to live and not be seen for who I was. When it came down to it, physically transitioning was a life or death choice for me. I wasn't born with the ability to choose my gender. I was born with the ability to choose to live in a way that is open, honest, and true to myself."

- About His goals, He says "My first goal is to be on the Ellen show — I love Ellen...My dream has always been to have a record deal and go on a world tour. I definitely want to improve my voice because I'm only one year on testosterone, so it's still doing its thing. I also want to get into speaking, and sharing my story and [helping] a lot of people. As long as I get to help people and do what I love, that's what I want."
- He is a Scorpio.
- The other contestants say Tyler's unique laugh is "somewhere between a goat being attacked with a flamethrower and Spongebob."

She's my first love (first real everything, really) and it's just extremely difficult to process everything and go through post-breakup shit. Our relationship is one of the best things I've ever fallen into and I'm so thankful for everything we had, everything we have, and everything we will have, regardless of whether it's romantic or platonic.

In 2009, an artist named Kutiman launched a project called Thru-YOU (a play on YouTube) that aimed to show what open collaboration could be on the internet. He played the "YouTube Orchestra" for a series of video remixes that made the network effects of music video on the web powerfully clear.
Kutiman didn't just mash clips up. He meticulously combined and time-matched them into coherent (and very funky) compositions. His server crashed twice in the first days after the videos were posted. Since then, the videos have been viewed more than 10 million times (which no longer sounds like a lot!) and named one of the 50 Best Inventions of 2009 by Time magazine.
Sasha Frere-Jones of the New Yorker wrote, "What is the mark of Web success in 2009? A million page views in a week? A spike in Twitter mentions? Both are meaningful indices, but not quite as satisfying as traffic crashing your whole site. It's the Internet version of a standing ovation." And patron saint of opensource and author of REMIX, Lawrence Lessig, wrote of Thru-YOU, "Watch this, and you'll understand everything and more than what I try to explain in my book."
It is in this opensource spirit that Gotye—whose "Somebody That I Used To Know" video has now been played more than 300 million times—decided to honor the hundreds of cover versions and parodies of his über-viral hit.
"Reluctant as I am to add to the mountain of interpretations of Somebody That I Used To Know seemingly taking over their own area of the internet," writes Gotye (aka Wouter "Wally" De Backer). "I couldn't resist the massive remixability that such a large, varied yet connected bundle of source material offered."
Gotye worked through a pile of original videos (links displayed below) and made his own quirky version of the song from remixed and overlayed bits of his fans' versions, to produce "Somebodies," (see above.) "All audio and video in Somebodies is from the YouTube user videos featured, each of them a cover or parody of Somebody That I Used To Know. No extra sounds were added to the mix, but I used some EQ, filtering, pitch-shifting and time-stretching to make the music. I avoided using any existing remixes of the song, or any covers from tv talent shows."
He even apologizes for not being able to fit every single source video in, and calls out viralogist Tay Zonday's cover for special (non-inclusion) mention.
On a technical level, Gotye even shares the details of his toolkit, "I used KeepVid.com to download the YouTube videos, Ableton Live for audio stretching, pitch-shifting and the initial video editing, and Adobe's After Effects to put the final video together."
Not only is the resulting video fun to watch, but it also tells you a lot about the modesty and humility—and sweetness—of this ubiquitous pop star. He knows that his fans, and YouTube, are the source of his success and his response is to give back, to pay forward with his own mouse clicks.
I have written a lot (too much) about this particular song, and I really hope for everyone's sake that we find another one of his songs to love.

Laura Gutschke: Celebrity quirks season recipes
Ironies abound in "Texas Celebrity Cookbook."
Authors Russell M. Gardner and Chris Farkas gathered more than 300 recipes from luminaries in business, politics, education, society, news and entertainment for the cookbook, published in 1984. It was released in advance of the Texas Sesquicentennial Celebration (150th anniversary) in 1986 marking the founding of the Republic of Texas.
I was amused that pioneering heart surgeon Dr. Denton Cooley submitted a healthy gazpacho dish and an unhealthy recipe for sautéed crab meat with curry and almonds that uses 2 tablespoons oil, 5 tablespoons butter and 1 cup heavy cream.
Equally ironic is the Oreo cookie pie recipe from B. Don Magness (1933-2008), former board chairman of the Miss Texas Scholarship Pageant. I doubt the contestants ate that physique-busting dessert with its 36 cookies, ice cream, sugar, chocolate and oleo.
But, politician Bob Bullock (1929-1999), in his exacting directions for mush-free pinto beans, was most humoring. Biographers Dave McNeely and Jim Henderson called the former lieutenant governor "the most powerful political figure in Texas at the end of the 20th century."
Bullock instituted many innovations in tax collections and other state operations, and he was a master of getting legislators to work together. He also was known for arm-twisting and his temper.
But Bullock loved Texas, and his recipe for pinto beans reflects his complex personality.
When I recently followed his instructions below, I laughed out loud after realizing there was no salt. How appropriate that an acerbic politician whose words sometimes lacked the seasoning of diplomacy did not include salt in his recipe.
(From Bob Bullock in "Texas Celebrity Cookbook")
"Soaking beans overnight is the Number One killer of a good pot of beans. Don't do it. ... Today's packaged beans are free of dirt and rocks and need only a little rinsing. ..."
"Put your beans in a pot and cover them at least three times higher with water. Bring to a rapid boil for five minutes covered. After five minutes of boil, turn out the fire and DO NOT OPEN THE LID. If you open the lid, forget it. You've ruined it.
"Let the covered pot set for one hour. Then turn the fire back on just a little higher than a simmer. When the pot starts boiling again and the lid starts jumping around and sputtering over on the stove, put in a tablespoon of oil. This will cut down the sputtering." (This would be a good time to add a teaspoon of salt. — L.G.)
"After a couple of hours — a little longer if you're busy doing something else — you should need to add more water. Add only hot water. Never put cold water in a boiling food.
"This is also a good time to add some onion, a slab of salt pork or whatever else you like. The salt pork sold in most markets today is so sorry that you get about the same good out of a couple of strips of bacon.
"Now turn the fire down to simmer and let's thicken the juice. A tablespoon or two of brown sugar works fine. It doesn't taste in the beans. Some folks like to use two or three tablespoons of masa flour worked into a paste. You can taste this in the beans — but it is good.
Incidentally, if you don't keep masa flour around, you can get the same effect by pulverizing a handful of Fritos.
"Now the beans can simmer until they are exactly like you want them. They will not get mushy.
"At this point you can also decide if you want just plain beans or if you want to go another route. If you like something off in the sweet direction, put in some more brown sugar or a little molasses.
"If you want something with a little zing, put in whatever is your favorite of barbecue sauce, steak sauce, chili powder, jalapeños or the like.
"When all this is simmered in good, you're ready to eat. If you're planning ahead, you can now put the beans in the icebox and warm 'em up when ready. Just warm then; don't cook 'em to death and they won't get mushy but the juice will get thick."
The Abilene Farmers Market — open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings across from Frontier Texas! — is a great place for fresh produce and cooking ideas.
For example, one vendor told me about a customer who grills okra. I tried the technique, which is a simpler, healthier way to enjoy okra instead of frying or sautéing.
Grilling also helps tame okra's slimy qualities that can be off-putting.
1 Small to medium okra (about 8 per serving)
1-2 tablespoons olive oil (for about ½ to ¾ pound okra)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Wash okra well and pat dry with paper towels. Trim down stems, but do not remove them completely or cut into pods. Place okra in large bowl.
2 Preheat grill on high for 5 to 10 minutes.
3 Drizzle olive oil over okra and toss well. Season with salt and pepper.
4 Place pods perpendicular on hot grill bars and cook about 3 minutes on each side, turning with tongs as they brown. Serve immediately.

It's a commonly-held opinion around these parts that the NHL schedulemaker — an eyeless, hairless, only vaguely human creature that awakens every summer in his dark, cob-webbed crypt deep below NHL head offices and begins shouting out teams, dates and times seemingly at random as league officials try to write it all down before he returns to slumber — doesn't spend too much time thinking about how to make the Canucks and their fans happy.
But that's not entirely true. Consider, for instance, the Canucks' annual California road trip, which is perfectly structured to allow adventurous Canucks fans to venture down the coast and follow the team around the sunshine state.Continue Reading —›
The Vancouver Canucks went into San Jose eager to halt their nine-game losing streak to the Sharks. At the same time, Henrik Sedin was looking to keep his 12-game point streak rolling. With the Canucks loading up their top line, it seemed likely that they wouldn't be able to break the former streak without continuing the latter.
Surprisingly, that wasn't the case. The secondary and tertiary scoring came through for the Canucks, with two goals each from the second and third lines, while the primary scoring took a break. Henrik failed to register a point for only the second time this season, but the Canucks still beat the Sharks handily, ending both streaks.
My streak of watching games, however, remains unbroken, mainly because I watched this game.Continue Reading —›

Popular Detective , August, 1945
The Killer Had a Slick Murder Scheme—but He Missed a Bet When He Failed to Take a Girl's Keen Eyesight into Account!
DETECTIVE-SERGEANT BOB Heath, looking more like a prosperous young business executive than a detective, stood in the doorway of District Attorney Keene Adams' private office, staring at the slumped figure in the chair behind the ornate desk. Over the place was the hush of death. It was broken by the strained, shocked voice of the pale but pretty blond girl who stood behind Heath—Mary Doyle, the D.A's secretary.
"Oh, poor Mr. Adams!" Mary said quaveringly. "And he must have been there like that all night! Even the cleaning woman had gone when I left, because we worked late, Bob. Mr. Adams was still talking to someone—a Mr. Madison—when he told me I could go."
Heath walked over to the desk and looked closely at the body of stout, middle-aged Keene Adams. But there was no doubt about it. The best district attorney the little city of Bankford had ever had was dead from a bullet in his heart.
"He was murdered all right!" Heath commented. "I'll have Headquarters send out an order to have Madison picked up and brought in for questioning."
"That might not be so simple." Mary tried to speak courageously, but the horror that had been etched on her face when she had found the body, and somehow had managed to phone Heath, was still there. "Even I haven't the faintest notion who the man is, or where he can be found. He was a stranger to me—never saw him before last night."
"What did he look like?" Sergeant Heath s demanded. "Tell me all you can remember about him, Mary."
"Well," the girl told him, "all I noticed was that he was a gray-haired man in a dark suit, dark necktie and white shirt. He insisted on seeing Mr. Adams, as late as it was when he got here—said it was most important. Mr. Adams told me to show him in. They talked for a while with the door closed, then Mr. Adams opened it and told me I could go home."
Bob Heath nodded. He realized that it was natural for Mary to have phoned him at once when she had received such a shock as opening a door and finding her boss murdered. She would do that—of course—instead of calling the police. That would be the first thought of a girl engaged to a detective-sergeant, at a time like that.
"You're sure there was nothing special about this Madison, Mary?" Heath insisted. "No scars or disfigurement, or eccentricities in speech or actions?"
"Not that I remember." Mary shook her head. "Maybe I'll think of something—later. All I can think of now is why did he kill Mr. Adams!"
"I don't know." Heath shook his own head. "But I do know I've got to report this. You wait in the outer office, Mary."
AS MARY backed away, Heath picked up the phone on the desk and called Headquarters. His attention was caught by the memo pad the District Attorney had been using. Adams had jotted down his appointments for the day he would not live to see, and at the bottom of the pad was scrawled:
Slick Weldon trial at 10 A.M.
Heath reported the murder to Chief John Parker who barked excitedly over the wire that he would be at the District Attorney's office himself with some of his men as fast as he could get there. He ordered Heath to wait.
The detective-sergeant again glanced at the memo pad as he cradled the phone. The "Slick" Weldon who was to come to trial was believed to be the town's head racketeer, and it was pretty certain that he and his men recently had been working the old protection game on Bankford store owners.
Then Joe Small, a tailor, had been found beaten to death in his shop, three days ago—which was Slick Weldon's hard luck. For he had been seen coming out of the shop shortly after Small had been killed. He had been picked up promptly, charged with the murder, and the trial rushed.
The racketeer didn't deny he had been to see Small, but insisted that he had found the tailor dead when he had entered the shop. Weldon had declared he certainly had not wanted to be mixed up with a crime like that, so he had wasted no time in departing. But unfortunately he had been seen.
Weldon's trial was to have been started this morning, with Keene Adams prosecuting. Probably it would be delayed now, by the death of Adams. In a small city like Bankford the District Attorney had no assistants, which meant a new man would have to be appointed to the office.
"Maybe that's it," muttered Heath. "That mysterious Madison man must be in with Slick Weldon in some way, and killed the D.A. to delay the trial. But what good that will do Slick or his gang— remains to be seen."
When Heath stepped into the outer office, Mary Doyle was at her desk. She tried to smile at him, but it was a wan effort.
"The Chief is on his way here," Heath told her, and sighed. "Maybe it's just as well, Mary, that the D.A. was a widower without any living relatives. This would be a bad shock to anyone close to him."
"It's been shock enough to me," Mary said tremulously. "He was so nice, Bob!"
The office door was opened abruptly, and Heath spun around, with the idea that Chief Parker had been speedier than usual. But it was not the Chief who barged in. It was a slender, dark-haired young man wearing light-colored shell-rimmed glasses, a light blue business suit, white shirt and red tie.
"I'd like to see Mr. Adams," he said briskly. "I'm Fred Langford, attorney for the defense in the Weldon case."
"You could see him"—Heath's tone was dry—"but you wouldn't like it. Mr. Adams is dead—murdered."
"Murdered!" exclaimed Langford, horrified. "Who did it?"
"We're not sure yet," Heath said calmly. "I'm investigating." Detective- sergeant Heath studied the slender young fellow. "I don't believe I've ever run across you before, Mr. Langford. You're new in town, aren't you?"
"Yes," Langford said impatiently. "I've been here only a few weeks . . . . How was Mr. Adams killed?"
"Shot," Heath said laconically.
"But murder!" repeated the attorney. "It doesn't seem possible! You're sure it wasn't suicide?"
"No gun, no motive," Heath said shortly. He was not impressed with Attorney Fred Langford. The man was too curt and aggressive.
Chief Parker arrived at that moment, with two detectives and four uniformed officers. They made quite a parade into the office. The Chief looked pompous in his uniform. Heath had never seen him without it. He suspected that Parker slept in it, ready for emergencies. But the sergeant had to admit that though the gray- haired Chief had a face like a hound dog, he knew his business.
Parker stalked over and looked at the D. A.'s body.
"All right, Sergeant," he said then. "What happened? The coroner's on his way here."
Heath told the Chief what he had learned from Mary. He had reached the point of telling how Attorney Langford had just showed up to discuss the Weldon trial with the District Attorney, when he saw that Langford had quietly departed. It was of no consequence, however, and Chief Parker passed up Langford because the coroner had arrived. The medical officer examined the corpse, and reported death by means of a lethal weapon. He placed the time of murder as between six to eight hours before.
MARY DOYLE was questioned, and told to go home, but she was so nervous and upset that Heath asked the Chief's permission to drive her. The sergeant was sympathetic and gentle with the girl, but neither of them said much during their drive across town, and that little was casual and impersonal.
"I'm expecting you for dinner tonight, you know, Bob," Mary said when they reached her home. "You'll be here, won't you?"
"Of course." Heath smiled at her, then sobered. "Unless something about your boss' murder detains me. If it does, I'll phone you, darling."
He drove away, but he hadn't gone more than two blocks before he discovered he was being followed by another car—a gray coupe with two men in it. Just to make sure, Heath swung his sedan into a side street. The coupe followed.
Up ahead a truck pulled out from the curb and blocked Heath's car. And for that moment the coupe speeded up until it was alongside Heath's sedan, forcing him to swing in to the curb. The truck turned a cornet and disappeared.
"Sergeant Heath?" demanded the hard- faced man who was driving. The detective recognized that driver—"Beef" Logan, one of Slick Weldon's gang. "We got a message for you!"
"What?" Heath demanded shortly. He was frowning heavily at a scraped fender the coupe had damaged. "Let's have it, Beef."
Logan blinked. Apparently he hadn't expected Heath to know him. But Heath knew both men, though he didn't bother to say so. He knew the other man's name was Bill Burke. And in Heath's estimation both Logan and Burke were a couple of cheap gunmen in the class.
"So you know us, hey?" said Logan. "Okay. So maybe you know somethin' else we've been hearin' you know— somethin' that'll clear Slick Weldon of killin' that tailor when the case comes up in court this morning. We're just warnin' you—Slick better get off if you want to stay healthy."
"Okay." Heath shrugged. "Run along now, or you'll be blocking traffic."
The two men drove away without looking back. Heath grinned wryly. Bad boys, eh, with their threats. He rather wondered what it was they thought he knew. But their threats didn't interest him. Another thing he had just heard did. It looked as if Weldon's men didn't even know the District Attorney had been murdered.
Detective-sergeant Heath returned to the police station. He had not been there long when he received a phone call from Fred Langford. The attorney seemed excited.
"Sergeant Heath," he said hastily, "I've just learned something of tremendous importance—about that D.A. affair. I've got to see you at once—Miss Doyle, too. I can't have you come to my office, so can you meet me—" He hesitated as if thinking rapidly. "Say, the courtroom will be empty. Be sure to bring Miss Doyle!"
"We'll be there," said Heath.
He could not imagine what Mary could have to do with anything the lawyer had found out, but he supposed he might as well play along. He might find out something to work on anyway. Fred Langford represented Slick Weldon, and the Weldon gang was in the murder mess somehow.
So he had a little talk with the Chief, and half an hour later he and Mary Doyle arrived at the courthouse. With the Weldon trial postponed, as Heath had thought it would be, and no other courts in session, the courthouse was deserted.
Langford met them at the courthouse door. He wore no hat or topcoat, but was carrying a big law book under one arm.
"What's on your mind, Langford?" Heath asked.
"Come into the courtroom," Langford said mysteriously. "We can talk better there." He was absent-mindedly tugging at an ear as he led the way.
Inside, he closed and locked the doors. Then he walked over to a table, placed the book on it near some others, and sat down.
"I didn't have time to explain on the phone, Sergeant," he said, "but before I tell you what I have learned, I want to try a little experiment that should prove its worth . . . Will you sit in the witness chair, Miss Doyle? It's more comfortable than the hard benches."
Heath's face was expressionless as Mary seated herself. Langford glanced at her and smiled.
"This may all seem ridiculous to you—perhaps melodramatic," he remarked. "But I know who killed Keene Adams—and I am anxious to see if you agree with me. It is possible that Miss Doyle will know, before I'm through."
"Who was it?" Mary asked breathlessly.
"A man named John Madison," Langford said flatly, again tugging at his ear—an unconscious gesture. "I can't go into details now, about how I know, but I do! And the man was blackmailing the District Attorney—knew something in Adams' past. Adams got tired of it. Last night he threatened to expose Madison, so—"
"So Madison killed him." Heath's tone was dry. "And I suppose you know because Madison told you."
SUDDENLY Mary was on her feet.
"No!" she cried. "Oh, Bob, don't you see? This Langford himself is Madison! He can't fool me any more. I know him now! He was disguised when he came to the office last night, with that gray wig and all—but I remember how the man who called himself Madison kept constantly tugging at his ear!" She pointed an accusing finger at Langford. "Just like you do!"
"I was afraid of that," Langford sighed. "That's why I thought I'd better talk to you alone. My experiment, you know."
"How much did Weldon give you for killing Adams and delaying that trial?" demanded Heath, leaping forward. "Or did you kill that tailor, and when the D.A. found it out you had to kill him?"
"Adams did know too much," Langford said coolly, opening the law book before him.
But both Mary Doyle and Heath saw the reason for that book on the instant. The pages had been cut out, and in the hole left an automatic rested! In one swift move Langford grabbed it and threw it up at Mary.
"Bob!" she screamed and sank back.
But Heath had answered her cry. Before Langford could shoot, the sergeant had snatched his .38 out and fired. The bullet got the lawyer in the shoulder. The automatic clattered to the floor.
Then out from the corridor leading to the Judge's chambers stepped two men who could hardly have been expected to be there—Beef Logan and Bill Burke. They stopped short, glowering at Langford.
"The boss didn't hire this lug to bump off the D.A.!" Logan growled. "None of us even knew he was dead till we seen it in the afternoon paper."
"I found that out when you stopped me in my car," snapped Heath. "You expected the trial to start this morning."
Then there were more visitors. The courtroom doors were burst open and a crowd poured in. Chief Parker was at the head of the throng. Heath grinned at him.
"Glad to see you, Chief," he said. "You're just in time for the show-down. Remember I told you I had a hunch Langford might have murdered the D.A.? After he phoned me to meet him here? Well, he did—even if he did try to make Mary believe she had never seen him before when he barged into the D.A.'s office this morning. There wasn't any other reason for him showing up there. The prosecutor and the lawyer for the defense don't usually consult with each other on the morning a trial is to start. But Mr. Madison-Langford didn't fool Mary— not any. She's got good eyesight, Miss Doyle has."
"Gosh!" said Beef Logan. "Why, you did clear the boss at that, Sergeant! Good thing we trailed you and the dame here, wantin' to get an earful. We did—plenty!"
"Stop this chatter!" wailed Langford. "I'll admit everything! Just get me to a hospital. Can't you see I'm dying?"
"We'll take you all right," Heath growled. "After you tell why you killed Joe Small, that tailor."
"That's a personal matter," snapped Langford. "You don't think I wanted a former cell-mate hanging around, do you?"
The courtroom was cleared, and Heath was left alone with Mary. It was his first chance in a long time to kiss her. He did.
"Dinner tonight will be fine, darling," he whispered. "Case all cleared up and nothing to worry about."

Next, unfold the bag and fold each of the full yard edges over about 1in. Crease this edge too.
This is the basic shape of the bag.
Step 4: Creating the Corners
Make sure you pin the corners in a very secure fashion because they are the base of the whole bag.

The Peacemaker, a license-built variant of the Pilatus Porter, was designed as a light attack and counter-insurgency aircraft for the U.S. Air Force in Southeast Asia. Fairchild built 35, all of which were transferred to Thailand after unsatisfactory combat trials.
Roden's release is the first injection-molded 1/48 scale plastic kit of any version of Pilatus' workhorse, and it builds into a nice representation of the aircraft.

It's a game of 9 ball at Cosmo's Billiards in Dickson City. This tune up includes three women from Luzerne and Schuylkill counties who qualified this past year at 9 different amateur regional sites gaining enough points to make it into the top 64 for the Regional Tour Championship in Phoenix Arizona beginning January 16th.
"I've been traveling a little bit. I've been going to Maryland, Virginia, and New York to qualify for this and I've been doing better at each one and it's building my confidence. I'm ready to do better and do good at this tournament," said Alex Calabrese.
Joining the Rookie of the year Alex Calabrese from Schuylkill county is Nicole Nester from Hazleton and Dawn Fox from Hunlock Creek both skilled to run the table in any 9 ball tournament.
"We'll obviously you play a lot of top ladies from around the Northeast and it's a grind definitely. What's the key to 9 ball for you? The key to 9 ball is not only playing offensive, but also defensive. Sometimes you have to play safes," said Nicole Nester.
"You have to be a little aggressive and then you have to play safe also. You have to use your head a lot, but then you can't let it take over," said Dawn Fox.
These women will be in a group of 64 competing in the WPBA Regional 9 ball tournament championship next month in Phoenix Arizona and an invite is on the line for the top finisher to be on tour in 2014 and the prize money pretty hefty too nearly $11,000 dollars on the line.
"I'm really looking forward to it. I'm really excited to play some of the top players from around the world and hopefully I do well," again said Nicole.
A fabulous four days in Arizona for one of these ladies could be their ticket to the top of the women's pro tour.

El Rancho Restaurant has a new owner and a new future — as a brewpub.
The Vincent family — three Vincent brothers and their spouses — bought the iconic property on Interstate 70 on May 4 for $1.2 million, according to Jefferson County clerk and recorder records.
The group plans a multimillion-dollar renovation, including a complete overhaul inside, and new brewing equipment, said Bob Vincent, who lives in Hiwan Hills with wife Laurie Vincent and their children.
Evergreen Fire Chief Mike Weege will receive a one-time merit-based bonus of 2 percent, following his annual performance review by the Evergreen Fire Protection District board last week.
Weege's annual salary currently is $83,970. The bonus will be $1,679.40, 2 percent of the salary — for a total annual compensation of $85,649.40.
If you've ever wanted to tour some of the luxury homes in Evergreen, there will be an opportunity on May 31.

An introduction to a horse can change someone's life.
In the case of Mountain Pal, a palomino quarter horse who died of natural causes recently, he was introduced to many young children near owner Randi Levin's home, and in at least one case, he changed a life.
R.J. Denbow knows how to keep his eye on the prize.
Denbow, a 2000 graduate of Evergreen High School, decided by the time he was in second grade that he wanted to work in the medical field, and soon after he expanded his dream to become a flight nurse.
In December, he landed that flight nurse job with Cal-Star, California Shock Trauma Air Rescue, near Sacramento.
Weege's annual salary currently is $83,970. The bonus will be $1,679.40, 2 percent of the salary — for a total annual compensation of $85,649.40.
A billboard-style sign was lying in the parking lot of the Wild Game Entertainment Experience in Bergen Park on Monday afternoon after apparently falling from its metal roof moorings.
Reached Monday afternoon, owner Dave Wilson said he didn't know what had happened to the sign but that he was working to get it fixed. It appeared no one had been hurt in the incident.
Cougars thwart host Durango to win district title
DURANGO — Dane Kapande had a two-run double and Evergreen blew open the game with a three-run sixth inning as the ninth-seeded Cougars upended No. 8 and host Durango 8-3 on May 10 to win the weather-delayed 4A District 2 tournament.
Play was delayed a day due to inclement weather.
Alec Moens' RBI single in the first inning scored Ryker Eagen and the Cougars continued to add to their led from there.
ARVADA — Midseason changes are never easy, especially when a team loses its head coach. Such was the case for the Evergreen Cougars' boys swimming team in 2015.
Marc Rios was EHS' first-year head coach when the season began, but he left midseason for a club coaching position with the Greenwood Tiger Sharks.
Christian Bachrodt took over, and the adjustment in coaching styles was substantial. While Rios' focus was more on individuals, Bachrodt focuses more on the team being one, Cooper O'Hearn said.
Kylee Petrik couldn't put a finger on how her shot found the back of the net early in Evergreen's 3-0 win over Pueblo Centennial on May 9, but all she knows is that it did. That's all that mattered.
It was the first of three goals for the top-seeded Lady Cougars, who got second-half tallies from Sophia Weiner and Brianna Curtis, as Evergreen looked the part of the team to beat in the second round of the 4A state girls soccer tournament.

5.0 out of 5 stars Use This Book!,
Ronald Geyer, AIA (Greenville, SC USA) - See all my reviews
Since first encountering Egan's text a little more than 20 years ago, I've continued to return to it for solid information. Complex material is presented in a way that allows me to apply it to unique conditions at hand. Some of the world-class acoustics consultants with which we've had the privilege to work rely on Egan to help communicate complex ideas. Without compromising too much real technical nuance, the ideas are so clearly communicated that I was able to offer the book to members of a church in eastern Europe working to improve the condition of their worship space.
5.0 out of 5 stars Must have,
I'm a architecture student and I think this book is like a bible of acoustics in architecture. It brings detailed info for designing places with good acoustic performance whit various technics and for the most different type of places like a simple residential to auditoriums and concert rooms. I have other acoustics books (like William Cavanaugh's) and they always make mention to David Egan's book. If you're in search on books about architectural acoustics, I think that must be the first one to buy. It's a must have in any architect biblioteque.
5.0 out of 5 stars The book and the author,
Warren Givens (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews
David Egan is one of the foremost authorities in the field of architectural acoustics. I work daily with architects in the design of music spaces in the educational environment and find that there is usually a copy of his book in the office library. It is clear, concise, and an excellent resource for design professionals and others interested in workable acoustical applications. I know the author personally, and he is not only pragmatic in the solution of problems but a genuine straight-shooter. I recommend his work and book very highly.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source for beginner and professional,
Christopher N. Brooks (Lancaster, PA USA) - See all my reviews
A really excellent introduction and overview of architecturalacoustics from the point of view of an architect. Little in the way ofmathematics, excellent illustrations, very useful tables, a convenientlist of often used formulae in the back. The best book I know of for an introductory textbook. I use this book often. Topics covered include:
Basic Theory Sound Absorption Room Acoustics Sound Isolation Mechanical System Noise and Vibration Electronic Sound Systems
Christopher Brooks Orpheus Acoustics END
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for architects,
Michael Salameh (USA) - See all my reviews
I am an acoustical consultant... I have read a lot of books onarchitectural acoustics. I found this book unique of its kind. The concepts are introduced by plenty of figures and illustrations with informative text that make the discussed subject easy to read and comprehend especially by the architects. Writing on the figures and using checklists added a lot of understandibility. Also the text itself is informative and directly address the subject. In other words, the book is excellent and comprehensive.

NYC Chancellor On Turning Around City's Schools
By editor
Dennis Walcott oversees a school system with more than one million students. Graduation rates are below the national average, and studies suggest most of the city's high school graduates are not ready for college. But Chancellor Walcott tells host Michel Martin that, after one year on the job, New York City schools are on the mend.

Many stories of homelessness begin with unemployment and family breakdown. Those scenarios are more likely to be experienced by young people from deprived backgrounds. And without safe and secure accommodation, education and employment become much harder to access.
Our partnership with StreetSmart raises money to help the homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless, with a focus on young people.
StreetSmart is a national fundraising campaign that runs every winter. During November and December, participating restaurants across the UK add a voluntary donation of £1 to every bill.
Donations support local homelessness charities, so diners in Birmingham help the homeless in Birmingham.
A sister campaign called SleepSmart sees participating hotels add £1 to every hotel bill.
Deutsche Bank covers all the administration costs for StreetSmart and SleepSmart, which means every penny raised goes to those who need it most. The campaign has raised over £4.5m together since 2006.
80,000 young people in the UK will experience homelessness this year (CentrePoint research).
Half the funds raised by StreetSmart goes to projects that prevent youth homelessness.

MU study: Spill has $61 million negative impact for affected areas
HUNTINGTON -- The Jan. 9 chemical spill into the Elk River is estimated to have had a $61 million negative impact on the counties affected by the water ban over the four days immediately following the spill, according to a preliminary investigation by the Marshall University Center for Business and Economic Research (CBER).
The data released Tuesday indicates the impact on economic output was just more than $19 million for reach business day the water use ban was in effect, amounting to about 24 percent of the economic activity in the affected areas.
The estimate includes affected output at businesses where clean water is an essential component of services or of vital input to production, such as schools, medical offices, restaurants, hotels and some retail facilities. Industries such as mining or construction, in which operations were not directly affected by the water ban, were presumed to be unaffected.
Nearly 75,000 workers are estimated to have been affected each business day the ban was fully in place, representing about 41 percent of area workers. More detailed analysis is required for an estimated of wages lost during this time.
The $61 million estimation does not include any cleanup or emergency expenditure costs associated with the spill.

First Look: Sony PRS-650 Reader Touch
Surface looks less reflective, redesigned interface looks better
Could be a little expensive
Are you looking for our full review of the Sony PRS-650 Reader Touch edition? If so, you can find it here.
Sony have updated their two readers - the Touch and Pocket editions, looking to cash in on 2010 Christmas lists. Announced at IFA recently, where we saw them for the first time, we returned to the UK launch to clap eyes on them again and investigate the changes further.
The first thing to note is that although this is technically a First Look of the Touch edition, much of what is written here applies to the Pocket edition too. It's important to realise that the difference between the two units mostly comes down to size: both are now touch enabled, both have the same interface and this is a fundamental change from the button-based controls of the Reader Pocket edition in the past.
It's quite a brave step for Sony, as their last edition of the Sony Reader Touch edition was greeted with criticism because of the level of reflection from the screen in bright conditions. We certainly felt that the reading experience wasn't as good as basic non-touch E Ink devices. That has now changed, with Sony telling us that they'd managed to reengineer the touch surface to remove the reflective film from the front. We examined the new surface with what lighting we could find at the launch event and it certainly looked better, but we'll reserve judgement until we've had a review unit to read in the garden, in bed, on the train, and, ahem, on the kahzi.
It isn't just the reflective surface that Sony have targeted by incorporating the latest E Ink technology. The refresh rate is noticeably faster, so page turns are now quicker and general navigation feels more natural, with 16 shades of grey offered over the normal 8. Compared to their first mainstream UK device - the Reader PRS-505 - things have come a long way. The contrast has been improved too, but we'll wait to judge the changes.
The new Readers have had some exterior changes too. The body, as before, is brushed aluminium and so it feels good in the hand, it feels like a premium product. Sony took advantage of their captive audience at today's launch to point out the metal body compared to the Amazon Kindle's plastic body, but we guess it is horses for course: ultimately you'll buy the device that best suits your needs.
The user interface of the Reader has been updated to be more touch-friendly and it's welcomed. Gone are the lists of books, and instead you are greeted with a homepage that uses book cover images to give you nice big icons, so its easier to find your way around and it has a more complete feel to it. It is a more consumer approach, rather than the previous versions which had something of a file/folder feel to them.
Other neat features include a dictionary so you can double tap a word and the OED will give you a definition and there are now translation options too, so if you are struggling your way through Moyen de parvenir, it might just help you out. As well as accepting straight finger taps, you'll also be able to use the stylus, which is better suited to doodling notes.
But functionality is only half the story of an ebook reader, because they are all about content. We're not talking movies and games like those fancy tablets offer, we're talking about reading, good old-fashioned reading. The Sony Readers are designed to be as much like reading on paper as possible, so shouldn't be compared directly to the wider functions you'll find on the latest range of tablets or smartphones: they can't complete because they aren't designed to.
Focusing on content, the Sony Readers accept a range of open formats, most notable is the EPUB format which you'll find is the format of choice for almost all online ebook stores - except of course from Amazon, which locks its content to its own devices in the Kindle family. That's fine, but a reader of the type that Sony is presenting offers you a wier range of shopping choices, even if the buying and transferring process is a little more convoluted than buying direct from the device.
Neither of the new Readers contain a Wi-Fi connection, something we've seen recently from the likes of the iRiver Story Wi-Fi and the BeBook Neo. We pressed a Sony representative on this today and although there was nothing official to hint that this was the route that Sony was going to take, the spokesperson did say he suspected it was being considered for the future.
But Sony does have some content tricks up its sleeves. The first, which we looked at today, was in the agreement with 50 UK councils to provide free ebook rentals through country library websites. Fortunately we fall under one such council so will give this process a test drive when we get a review unit. The second content offering comes in the form of a reorganisation of the Google Books offering.
We've seen Google's book project bandied about by almost all ebook manufacturers. It's a great source of content, providing you're after out-of-copyright works. There is plenty of classic literary fodder to be had. Sony have provided a search engine on their website to make it easier to get it into your Reader in the right format. We prefer this to just advertising that it exists.
Despite the size - the Touch is 6-inches, the Pocket is 5-inches - the Touch also has more space to fit in an SD and MemoryStick card reader, so you get the potential for a huge number of books. The Touch also has a music player, something we didn't get to see much of during our hands-on.
We liked Sony's first UK ebook, the PRS-505 Reader, but we didn't really get on with the Pocket or the Touch last time around. This new iteration of both Readers looks better, but the Touch seems to have grown into what the last Touch should have been. It looks and feels much more like a natural product to use for its intended purpose. Touch, perhaps, enhances the experience rather than bringing a compromise with it.
Of course those are just first impressions and we'll be putting the new Readers through their paces when we get final samples in for review. The pre-order Sony price for the PRS-650 is £199 which still looks a little high, so we're hoping that book stores will be able to get this price down, as the price of source freedom might not stack up against the simplicity of Amazon's £109 Kindle.
