Filed under: Cable Management
CableOrganizer.com is giving away a BlueLounge® CableBox Mini to 3 lucky winners. These mini CableBoxes are a fantastic cable management solution.
Scroll to End of Blog Post to Enter!
They were features in Oprah Magazine's De-Clutter Your Life! edition, mashable, Maclife, The Wall Street Journal and PCWorld. Enough name dropping I think it's pretty obvious this product has fans the world over. The cablebox mini is brought to you by the makers of the very popular and gorgeously simple Sanctuary Charging Station.
The Cablebox Mini from BlueLounge® is small enough and sleek enough to fit in almost anywhere, here's a list of places customers say they like to use their CableBox Mini:
- On top of computer tower
- Near or behind home theater setup
- Beside your laptop on small desk
- Underneath your desk
- On a beside table
- On floor next to their reading lamp
- On the entrance hall table next to the telephone, fax and charging station
- The white mini cablebox blends well into white floor boards making it a great endpoint for cable raceway that meets the outlet.
Cable raceway is really a more complete system to route and conceal any wires in your home and to prevent tripping hazards. Speaker wires, audio cables and Ethernet cables can all be routed through your home without any unsightly nails to be banged into walls.
Cable raceway is easy to install and re-enterable so you can always update your wires without worrying about installing new raceway. They can be painted over too, so that they match your wall color.
Could cable management be any more stylish? It's helped me create a portable home office. I can store everything in this neat little box, and take my laptop and monitor in only 2 trips. There's also only 1 power plug to connect and no wires to undo, unwind or re-plug. Right now my office is located in the living room, should my guests arrive for dinner, I need only remove the single plug coming out of the box and take my equipment into my home office. Easy Peasy. All the wires are wrapped neatly and identified.
Here are a few images from my personal home laptop setup:
I'm using the CableBox Mini to store all my peripherals and power plugs that I need to run my mobile laptop setup. So what's all that in the box?
- 1x Laptop universal charger
- 1x additional monitor power plug
- 1x USB multiport extender and power plug
- 6x USB charger capacity – 4 plugged in currently
- 1x power outlet left empty to plug in my printer
I love my Cablebox Mini. I got it as a gift and now, it's a vital part of my office. The best part is it's white so it matches my desk, stationary holders. And pretty soon, if I can save quickly enough for Christmas – my notice boards. Then I'll move on to some cable raceway for my living room.

The Lorien Legacies Series[edit]
Lorien Legacies Novel Series[edit]
I Am Number Four[edit]
'I Am Number Four' follows the story of John Smith, a 15-year-old from the planet Lorien, and Henri, his Cêpan (protector), as they run from the Mogadorians, another alien race that is hunting John and eight other teenage Lorics residing on planet Earth. These nine teens are members of the Garde, a group of Loric people gifted with special powers called "Legacies". Cêpans (pronounced se-pan), who are also Loric, do not acquire legacies and are assigned as protectors and mentors for young members of the Garde. The teenagers are protected by a charm that only allows them to be killed in numeric order, which works only when they stay apart, and each have been gifted a chest from the Lorien Elders containing each Garde's inheritance that can only be opened by the member and their Cêpan together, or in the case of the Cêpan's death, by the member alone. The Cêpan most often chooses the moment to open the chest, usually after their Garde has acquired their first legacy.
The first three have been killed, and John is Number Four. After a mishap in Florida, John and Henri move to Paradise, Ohio. While here, John falls for Sarah Hart, makes enemies with school bully and Sarah's ex-boyfriend, Mark James, becomes best friends with Sam Goode, and adopts a mysterious Beagle he names Bernie Kosar. Eventually, Sam finds out John's secret but keeps it and is supportive of him. Sarah also finds out about John when he saves her from a fire in Mark's house, leaping out a two story window and surviving. Near the end of the book, the Mogadorians find John and a frantic battle ensues at Paradise High School. Number Six finds John before the battle starts and she along with John, Sarah, Sam, Henri, Bernie Kosar (who turns out to be a Loric Chimæra who can change forms) and Mark fight against the Mogadorians. The Mogadorians lose the battle, but Henri dies and Six and Bernie Kosar are badly injured.
Because the school is now destroyed and there are dead bodies strewn around town, the blame falls toward John and Henri who are now suspected terrorists. John was forced to leave Sarah behind because of the danger. John, Sam, Six and Bernie Kosar leave Paradise in search of the rest of the Garde and Sam's father, Malcolm, who Sam believes was abducted by aliens years before. [2]
The Power Of Six[edit]
|This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (March 2015)
The story is told by two members of the Garde: Number Four (John Smith), who is on the run with Sam, Number Six, and Bernie Kosar, and Number Seven (Marina), who is hiding at a convent in Spain. While John, Six and Sam try to stay ahead of the Mogadorians while searching for the other surviving Loric, Marina searches for news of John after his heroic battle at the school that came at the end of I Am Number Four.
The story starts out showing what life is like for Marina in the convent. Marina starts to suspect the Mogadorians have discovered her, but believes the charm is what keeps them from attacking her. She keeps seeing the same Mogadorian watching her in various circumstances. A new 7-year-old girl named Ella comes to the orphanage and Marina befriends her. Meanwhile, she tries to convince her Cepan Adelina to open her Loric Chest and take responsibility of her role as Cepan, but to no avail. Ella finds the hidden Chest, and she and Marina retrieve it after a scuffle with four women from the convent. In this fight, Ella breaks her arm, and Marina discovers her healing legacy. Later, Marina drugs Adelina and opens her Chest.
Elsewhere, John, Six, BK (Bernie Kosar), and Sam continue evading the police. After a particularly bad chase one night, John finally decides to open his Chest, which he's kept with him all his life and contains special Loric items. He and the others examine its contents but they are unfamiliar with almost all of the Chest's objects. However, by opening the chest, they notify the Mogadorians of their location, and prompt an attack on the house, which they narrowly escape. Later, John reads Henri's letter and finds out the Mogadorians have captured Sam's father. Sam remembers his father telling him of a secret Loric base in his backyard, and they set off to find it. Upon finding it, they are interrupted by Mogadorians, and the party splits up: Six and BK stay and fight, while John and Sam find Sarah. When they meet, the FBI appear and arrest John, putting him and Sam in a prison near Washington DC. They suspect Sarah had notified the FBI while they met. Meanwhile, Marina activates a communication device in her Chest, which alerts both the Mogadorians and the members of the Garde of her location.
As Mogadorians catch up to John and Sam in prison, Six helps them escape, though very angry they left her during the battle in Paradise at Sam's. After escaping, they decide on a plan: Six will go to Spain to help the newly discovered Marina, and Sam, BK, and John will go to the Mogadorian's base in a hollowed out mountain near West Virginia to retrieve Johns chest and possibly Six's. Much to Six's dismay
Meanwhile, the Mogadorians catch up with Marina and Adelina as they try to escape the convent. Adelina is murdered while trying to help Marina. Marina, after being saved by the Mogadorian she had noticed watching her, learns that he isn't a Mogadorian, but a Cepan, named Crayton, protecting Ella. He explains that Ella is the tenth member of the Garde, who escaped on a second ship, and has disguised herself through her legacy of age-shifting. Together, they all escape to a lake where Crayton has Loric Chimaera waiting to help them. As they battle the Mogadorians at the lake, Six arrives at the scene and helps them win the battle. Afterwards, Six makes plans with the others to find the other Garde and the rest of the Chimaeras. However, Crayton warns that their successes in battle will alert the Mogadorian ruler, Sektrakus Ra, to join the fight.
Elsewhere, Sam and John use a stone from John's chest to transfer Six's invisibility to them and sneak into the Mogadorian mountain base. They grab both John's Chest and another, which turns out to be that of Nine, who is imprisoned in the mountain. They run out of invisibility, but manage to free Nine and escape the mountain with everyone but Sam, who was caught and had to be left behind. Setrakus Ra arrives, and as Nine is about to attack him, he hides in the base, unreachable. Nine and John and BK head north, with nowhere to go since the address for meeting Six was lost in Sam's pocket.
The Rise Of Nine[edit]
|This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (March 2015)
The Rise of Nine is told from the first-person perspectives of Number Four (John Smith), Number Six (Maren Elizabeth), and Number Seven (Marina). The story follows the characters as they continue attempting to evade their destruction.
Throughout the third installment of the Lorien Legacies, the current known members of the Garde are shown to be scattered around the world and placed in various locations. The current known members being Four, Six, Seven, Nine, and Ten, they all venture out trying to obtain certain clearance based on each of their missions.
The Power of Six ended with Sam being held captive within the Mogadorian base in West Virginia and John and Nine having no way to get to him. After that, they travelled around the place trying to sort out how to get Sam out of the cave. This, however, was only Four's intentions. He was constantly thinking and worrying about Sam and Sarah's well-being, his human friends who are already at the hands of the Mogadorians. The longer Four spent with Nine, the more he realised that he and Nine are completely opposite people. Four has a soft-spot when it comes to his friends and the rest of the Garde, and constantly wanting to prevent injuries and wasted time. Nine, however, has a knack for running into things quickly without thinking them through. He has an arrogant nature but also a bit of big-brotherly love, which Four uncovers later on in the book.
Meanwhile, Six, Seven, Ten (Ella), and Crayton fly on a plane at the beginning of the book, their destination being India, where rumors had spread about a resurrected god living in the Himalayas. Once they arrived in New Delhi, they were surrounded by armored vehicles with the number 8 painted on it. After agreeing to go with the unknown army, the four Loric were taken near the Himalayan mountains, but ended up being pursued and shot at by a group of elite people known as the Lord's Resistance. This group was sponsored by various wealthy and well-connected benefactors with guns, helicopters, and various armors that allowed them to attempt to kill the "resurrected god". During the first battle against the group, Marina's chest was open. In America, Four and Nine use the tablet that Four obtained in The Power of Six in Sam's dad's well and discover it shows all of the Garde's positions.
After a lengthy battle in the mountains against the Lord's Resistance, the four Loric were taken to the "resurrected god" who was later revealed to actually be Number Eight, a member of the Garde that had been hiding in the mountains for years. After obtaining his chest thanks to Marina, Eight took the others, excluding the Commander, to an underground cave that acted as a teleporter, which is one of Eight's Legacies. The Mogadorians arrived, Crayton was killed and the remaining four were forced to leave by teleporting. Six was teleported to New Mexico while the other three appeared just off the coast of Somalia.
Meanwhile, after their fight atop the John Hancock Center, Four and Nine ended up agreeing to go to New Mexico, based on them sharing the same vision while they were asleep; the vision was both of them fighting together against Setrákus Ra they fell from a few black tunnels where they heard a voice whispering New Mexico.
Six was teleported to New Mexico where she ended up in a desert. She walked for a while and ended up by an American military base. She was on the verge of death when her and Ella – aka number ten – talked telepathically. After Six was convinced it was a mirage, helicopters flew around her and rescued her. They made her talk by drugging her. She was thrown in a cell with Sarah. After six talked with Sarah for a bit, Sarah ended up being Setrákus Ra. Setrákus Ra is able to change his form. She tried to defeat Ra but failed. Six is injured and thrown into a cell with the real Sarah. Sarah has been beaten so she would talk about what she knew about John. She said she had Sam thrown in her cell for a short time but that's it.
Meanwhile, Marina, Eight and Ella teleported to Stonehenge, where they were confronted by guards. Ella distracted the guards by reducing her age until she was six years old, which is one of her Legacies. After getting rid of the guards they were successfully teleported to New Mexico by Eight, where they traveled towards the mountains that Six mentioned telepathically to Ella earlier on.
Six was held captive within the Mogadorian base in New Mexico. She was offered to fight Ra and accepted. After a short battle, Six was defeated by Setrakus Ra after he disabled her Legacies. He then paralysed her, covered her in granite, and suspended her from the ceiling of the cavern. In the meantime, the other five known Garde members (John, Marina, Eight, Nine, and Ella) met up and entered the Mogadorian base. John found Sarah held captive within the base and took her with them into the cavern where Six was trapped. During an ensuing battle, Six was rescued, as Four obtained a new Legacy of healing, Eight was almost killed and every Mogadorian including Setrakus Ra disappeared. The book ends with every Garde member being together escaping the base, excluding Number Five, and Six vowing that Setrakus Ra will not get away from them the next time.
The book was published in the United States on August 21, 2012, by HarperCollins and in the United Kingdom on August 30, 2012, through Penguin Books.[4]
The Fall of Five[edit]
|This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (March 2015)
The Fall of Five, the 4th book of The Lorien Legacies, was released on August 27, 2013. Once again told in the first person perspective, it moves between Sam Goode, John (Four) and Marina (Seven).
The novel opens with Sam's imprisonment in New Mexico by the Mogadorians. Sam is being held incommunicado except for Mogadorian guards and fed a daily diet of stale cheese sandwiches and dirty water. Through a flashback, we learn that Sam was transported to New Mexico by human co-conspirators of the Mogadorians shortly after the battle in New Mexico. Before he was moved, he was tortured by the Mogadorian leader Setrakus Ra while suspended via chains from the ceiling. An acidic black goo crawls down the chains and burns Sam's wrists, a pain only relieved by being touched by Ra's oddly shaped golden cane. Sam fortunately does not know much, as he was the only one who had Six's plan post-West Virginia in a letter that was seized by the Mogs.
After the flashback, the base is attacked by the Garde, as related in the end of the third book. However, it is not the Garde that discover Sam, but surprisingly his long missing father. In a further twist, we discover that Malcolm Goode is accompanied by Adam, a good Mog teenager with legacies. Adam is able to cause localized earthquakes, an effect he uses to break the back of Sam's cell, allowing Malcolm and Sam to escape. Apparently Malcolm and Adam, having learned where Sam was being kept, decided to attack at the same time as the Garde. Adam stays behind to cover their exit. Sam and Malcolm sneak out during the chaos unnoticed by both the Mogs and the Garde.
Next, Four (John) begins to narrate and takes up the story with the remaining Garde (Four, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten) plus Bernie Kosar (BK) plus Sarah all safely at Nine's penthouse apartment in Chicago. Initially aimless while healing, John is struggling to determine what next step to take. Ten (Ella) has been having nightmares, similar to the nightmares shared by John and Nine prior to going to New Mexico. John discusses the dreams with Ella. During the conversation John recalls how Ella hurt Ra by throwing a glowing piece of metal at him and speculates that it might be a new legacy developing for her. He attempts to get her to practice, but she resists, declaring it "wrong." She relates the dream is of the fight with Ra, except in this version Ra realizes who Ella is and kneels before her, asking if she has read the letter. She tells John she knows of no letter and the conversation ends. After a short detour for Sarah and Six having target practice, we then discover via an old scanning program written by Nine's cepan that the Loric symbol for "five" has been burned into crops in South Carolina. Five next leaves a message on the Internet, in spite of the fact that the Mogadorians regularly monitor it. After discussion and fearful for the safety of the missing member of the Garde, John, Six, Sarah and BK leave for Arkansas to meet with Five before the Mogadorians arrive.
Marina (Seven) takes over narration duties next after the away team departs. After nudging Ella to read the letter her cepan left her, she leaves the penthouse with Eight to go sightseeing. Scolded by Nine on their return, they agree to train with him and thereby sharpen their skills. At the culmination of this fight, Ella returns having read the letter from her cepan. It reveals that unlike the other Loric, she is not to become one of the elders. Instead, her father comes from the family that once held the position of the tenth elder, but which had it taken away. Her escape from Lorien was a fluke, a byproduct of her father's fascination with artifacts. He loaded her, her cepan and his menagerie of chimaera onto an old, fuel-powered ship and sent it off planet. He stayed with her mother, who was Garde, to defend the planet, and fell with it. Ella's initial shock at this revelation makes her feel a fraud, but the other Garde reassure her and she decides to stay.
John takes over narration again as the away team is driving to retrieve Five. On the way, John and Six resolve their tension over the kiss they shared in book two. After this, they go on to meet five, who is waiting to meet them. On arrival they discover Five is ignorant of the danger he created with the crop circle and the Internet message. Five wishes he could meet all of the Garde together and his mind is "officially blown" when he meets Sarah, their human ally. Just then they are attacked by the Mogadorians, who arrive in a cloaked ship. Five does not participate in the battle, and appears shell-shocked at what he says is his first time seeing Mogadorians. Five demonstrates his legacy, Externa, that allows him to take on the properties of things he touches. Six uses her weather powers to cause the ship to crash, and Sarah, Four and Six mop up the Mogadorians. Just as they think they have won, a new monster—much larger than the piken—appears, chasing Six, It is a centipede the size of a tanker truck, covered in cracked and leathery skin with hundreds of tin arms. John remembers creatures like this caged in West Virginia. Five then demonstrates his power of flight, and John climbs on his back above the monster and uses his lumen-powered fireballs to attack the creature. John falls off of Five and lands in front of the creature. Just as he is about to be eaten, a red dot appears on the creatures massive single eye and then a rifle shot blows that orb apart in a grisly fashion. John kills the creature, and turns to discover he has been rescued by Sam's father, with Sam in tow.
With Sam, Sarah, John and Six reunited, and accompanied by Malcolm and Five, they return to the penthouse to meet up with Marina, Eight, Nine and Ella. Sam takes up narration duties just in time to be hugged by Six and overwhelmed by it. Five continues to be both clueless and churlish, culminating in an evening where each of the Garde tell their stories. Five says he lived on the islands with his cepan and remained hidden until his cepan took ill. Five didn't believe he really was Lorien until he started to develop legacies. After his legacies had come in fully, he fulfilled his cepan's dying wish and went to the US to join with the other Garde. After this story, Malcolm tells his own, about meeting Pitticus Lore. Struggling to undo the effects of the Mogadorian torture that left holes in his memory, Malcolm reveals that each chest holds a key to contact Lorien again. Malcolm also reveals that there are two kinds of Mogadorians—the disposable vatborn, and the more rare trueborn that form the ruling class. He also revealed Adam—a trueborn son of a Mogadorian general—had One's memories downloaded into him, which caused him to rebel. Malcolm also revealed Adam's abilities were a "gift from the Lorien." They theorize that One gave her legacies to Adam. John declares that they will seek out Adam if he is still alive. Five expresses suspicion about the humans, given how many stories of human collaborators he has heard and their recent contacts with the Mogadorians, but John stands him down.
More time passes—and several narrative switches. Five continues to be churlish and flips to steel to break Nine's hands in response to Nine's constant bullying. Bernie Kosar goes nuts over an antler artifact from a chest, trying to use it to call the other chimaera. A capture the flag game ensues in the newly restored training room where Marina wins the day. John and Sarah go out on a date to the zoo and discover three Mogadorian spies collecting an envelope, filled with notes unhelpful written in Mogadorian. Malcolm whips up a translator to figure out what was said. Sam attempts to ask Six out, but is interrupted by Eight, who claims there is an emergency. The emergency is that Ella's bad dreams have gotten worse. John touches her to try to wake her up and is sucked in, falling into a coma-like state. Urged on in part by Five's story of a healing prism in his lost chest, the rest of the group go off to get that chest to help their friends.
While gone, the wheels start to come off the Garde's security. First, the translation software determines the encoded notes were none other than Malcolm's notes on the Garde legacies. Is the damage to his memory so bad that he has been turned into a double agent? While Sam has his doubts, Malcolm consents to be willingly locked up. Then the long dead disposable cell phone that connects Malcolm to Adam rings, Sam answers and is warned by Adam that the Mogadorians are coming to raid their safehouse in the penthouse of the John Hancock building. Basically, the final act has been set up.
In Florida, Five, Six, Seven, Eight and Nine arrive and acquire a fanboat to go pick up Five's chest. Five flies up to get an aerial view, but fails to return with his chest, instead saying the group should go there together. Just as Five pulls his chest out of the mud, the group is attacked by a three-headed monstrosity initially mistake for three alligator heads. At one point the narrator sees the letter "S" carved in the creatures foot, like a signature. While the group struggles with the creature, Five retrieves a glove with a retractable blade and a pan flute from his chest. He plays the flute and the creature subsides. When asked if he can put the creature out of its misery, Five says gladly, saying he made the creature. The "S" is an upside down 5! Without warning, he strikes Six in the head and keeps Marina back with telekinesis. He then starts to strangle Nine with his rubberized, stretching body and drowns him. He then declares to Seven and Eight that "they should talk."
Meanwhile, back at the penthouse, Mogadorians land on the roof and rappel into the penthouse. Sam notes it is a relatively small force, as if they were not expecting much resistance. Like the didn't expect the comatose Garde to be guarded by their human allies. Bernie Kosar gives them a good fight of it. Malcolm aides Bernie Kosar while Sarah and Sam go to get weapons. More Mogadorians come in, and Sam baits them into the training room by declaring that the girl they are looking for—Ella—is this way. He then turns on the newly restored training software to "insanity" and watches as the room deals with the Mogadorians. Sarah and Sam shoot the stunned Mogadorians and then rejoin Bernie Kosar. They hear wave two getting ready to come and attack. Bernie Kosar tries to hold them off, but Sam discovers his dying father and is unwilling to leave him. They are surrounded by Mogadorians and things look bleak.
Back in the swamp, Five reveals he is working with the Mogadorians. He was discovered six months after coming to the planet after his cepan took ill. He refers to Setrakus Ra as the Beloved Leader and says that after Seven and Eight read the Good Book, they will know it is their destiny to work with the Mogadorians to conquer the universe. Five also reveals he has been playing weak, and when Eight attempts to menace him, he sics the mutant alligator creature on him again. Five appears in control, but just like in capture the flag, Marina proves she can surprise her opponents. She uses telekinesis to remove the objects Five uses to power his legacy. In frustration, Five lunges at Nine with his blade glove, only to be stopped by Eight, who has teleported between them. The blade kills Eight instantly.
Eight's death triggers another leg scar, which causes John to wake up from his nightmare. In the nightmare, he saw Ella declared heir to Setrakus Ra, Sam and Six brought before the throne to be killed, and Five in the service of Ra, short an eye. In the swamp, Marina masters the new ice legacy, defeating Five and taking his eye for real. Six recovers thanks to her help, and the three escape Five and his Mogadorian backups by using her invisibility. John, now awake, is forced to choose between saving Malcolm or recovering Ella, who has been captured. Because of the vision he saw, he decides to save Malcolm to prevent Sam from seeming so beaten and he knows that Ella will not be harmed. After healing Malcolm, Sarah, Sam and Malcolm escape while John stays behind to find Bernie Kosar and pick up the chests. While he is there, a lone Mogadorian arrives—Adam. After a skirmish, they establish each other's bona fides and John accepts Adam's offer of help.
The Revenge of Seven[edit]
|This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (March 2015)
The book is narrated in first person, with Number Four (John), Number Six, and Ella as narrators.
Ella wakes up in a strange place. She sees Mogadorians and tries to escape using the Great Book as a weapon. She realizes that she is in a spaceship. Setràkus Ra claims to be her grandfather. He tries to force her to eat and tells her that he used to be an Elder and that he experimented with altering genetics. He also tells her about how Lorien was controlling everything, and he rivaled it. Then, he puts a binding charm over himself and Ella. The Mogadorians try to force Ella to read the Great Book by blasting an alarm at her whenever she doesn't. Ella rips the book apart. Setrákus Ra talks to her, mentioning her "betrothed". Eventually he arrives. Ella is disgusted to note that she is betrothed to the treacherous Number Five. She finds out that Five killed Eight, and is even more upset. Setrákus Ra trains Ella to use her Legacy Dreynen, using Five as the equivalent of a punching bag. She apologizes to him later telepathically. He responds that he deserved it and that they need to escape. Ella wakes up later to find Five talking about how Mogadorians were bad. She and Five decide to escape. She finds out that Five was not aware of their betrothal either. Setrákus Ra catches them. Five stabs Setrákus Ra and the blow injures Ella. She loses consciousness.
Ella wakes up dressed formally for the invasion, with a Mogadorian injection of something disgusting where she was stabbed. Setrákus Ra forces her to get up. She sees a message from Phiri Dun-Ra saying that the Garde are at the Sanctuary. Ella accompanies Setrákus Ra to greet the humans. She sees Number Nine and tells him telepathically to break Ra`s staff. She witnesses Ra talking about how the faithful humans will greet him, and then a human leader denying what he said. She realizes that Number Four is there too. Nine breaks Setrákus Ra`s staff, and Ra reverts from his human form to the repulsive genetically modified Mogadorian one. Ra uses Dreynen when Number Four attacks. Ella stabs Setrákus Ra in the leg and realizes that she is the only one who can kill him. He would have killed her, but Four prevented it. Five stops Four from stabbing Setrákus Ra and killing Ella. They fight. Nine attacks Setrákus Ra but Five stops him from killing Ra also. They fight. Ella is dragged back onto the ship, half-conscious, her fate not known.
Number Four, Sam, Sarah, Malcolm, and Adam, as well as a bunch of Chimærae are staying in an abandoned textile factory. They figure out that the surviving Garde are in Florida, except for one of them, who`s dot on the tablet is bouncing everywhere. But Adam suggests going to Ashwood Estates instead of predictably going to Florida. The others agree, Four with a bit of persuasion required. They find a website titled They Walk Among Us with information about the Mogadorians and Sarah goes to meet Mark James. Malcolm, Four, Sam, and most of the Chimærae go to Ashwood Estates. The Chimærae carry cameras. They survey Mogs carrying equipment, and kill them. Adam admits that the General residing at the Estates is his father. Four attacks him, and his shield bracelet is broken. The Chimærae also attack. The General and Four wrestle. Adam stabs his father through the back. They observe the decomposition of the General`s augmented parts. Adam takes up his father`s old sword. They stay at the Estates. Adam uses Mogadorian surveillance to see Seven, Six, and Nine break into the base. Adam hacks a ship and uses its guns to kill all of the Mogadorians.
Number Six, Number Seven, and Number Nine are trying to escape the swamp. They find a form of town and see that the Chicago penthouse was destroyed. Marina finds a man who claims that there is an old NASA base in the swamp with UFOs flying around it. She believes that Eight`s body is there and decides to have the man lead them there. Nine and Six agree. Marina tells Six that she can feel Eight somewhere. They see Mogadorians from their boat and kill them. The man who was leading them is frightened and flees the boat. Nine, Seven, and Six find a huge Mogadorian base. They turn invisible and enter it. Nine uses his animal telepathy to tell a beast controlled by the Mogadorians to cause a distraction. It obliges but is killed. But they make it into a greenhouse. They find Number Five lurking, as well as Number Eight`s body. Five stabs a Mogadorian telling him to bring Eight`s body to a ship. Six, Seven, and Nine are left with Eight`s body. Nine apologizes out loud. Marina says that she forgives him and they hug. A huge Mogadorian ship appears in the doorway and kills all of the Mogadorians. They hear Number Four`s voice coming out of the ship and board it. Six "pilots" it to Ashwood Estates, with Adam`s instruction. Six and Sam kiss.
Shortly after Seven, Six, and Nine come to Ashwood Estates, Agent Walker and some FBI people arrive. They have realized that the Mogadorians are villainous and want to help the Garde. They have seen what happens when someone stops taking the Mogadorian augmentations and they tell the Garde about the plan of the Mogadorians. And that their plan is to assassinate the secretary of defense, Bud Sanderson, who was working for the Mogadorians. They believe that his assassination will help stop Setrákus Ra`s invasion plan. The next day, Malcolm gathers footage of his mind being dredged. He shows them what he said, that Lorien is not a planet, but an entity, and that it can be awoken in Earth when their Inheritances are put in Calakmul. Four, Sam, and Nine decide to proceed with Walker`s plan and go to New York. Marina, Six, and Adam decide to go to Calakmul.
Marina, Six, and Adam decide to go to Calakmul. They collect much of the Inheritances to "commit to the earth" and also bring Henri`s ashes and Eight`s body. On the plane, Marina is hostile toward Adam. And then she finds out that he killed his Mogadorian father, and stops. They find a Mogadorian ship trying to contact them. Adam acts authoritative and their ship is allowed entry. When they leave the ship, Phiri Dun-Ra pretends to bargain with him, but hits him on the head. Six and Seven kill the Mogadorians, except for Phiri Dun-Ra. Six, Seven, and Adam pass through a force field and climb. They open a door with three pendants and are transported to a place with Loralite everywhere. They see a cylinder in the ground that looks like a well. They dump the contents of the Chests, their pendants, and Henri`s ashes down it. Eight`s body reanimates. But it isn`t him. It`s Lorien speaking. It speaks cryptically and annoys Six, but it temporarily resurrects Eight. He kisses Marina one last time before disappearing again. But they find out that the Lorien entity is spreading.
Sam, Four, Nine, and Walker are driving. On the way, Nine tries to interrogate Sam about Six. Four stops him. Nine claps, wearing a pair of gloves from Marina`s Chest, and generates a huge noise. The Mogadorians, of course, find them and attack. The heroes are trying to get bystanders to flee. One bystander takes a video of Four using his healing power. They enter the hotel where Sanderson is staying. And they see Sanderson. He looks awful and has clearly been taking Mogadorian augmentations. He says that it is too late and then shoots himself in the head. Four somehow stops the bullet with telekinesis and heals him. Sanderson tells them that it is too late to prevent the invasion. A spaceship comes. Sanderson gives Walker names of politicians working for the Mogadorians. They arrive at Setrákus Ra`s planned invasion site. Nine breaks Setrákus Ra`s staff, and Ra reverts from his human form to the repulsive genetically modified Mogadorian one. Ra uses Dreynen when Number Four attacks. Ella stabs Ra. He would have killed her, but Four prevented it. Five stops Four from stabbing Setrákus Ra and killing Ella. Four and Five fight, but Five tells Four about the charm on Ella. They see Nine about to stab Ra. Five stops him too. Five and Nine fight. Four prevents a wave of bullets from hitting Ra and Ra drags Ella back onto his ship. The warship starts to fire. Sam and Four were separated from everyone else except for a group of human survivors. A piken was after them. It was knocked down with telekinetic force. Number Four didn`t do it but Sam presumably did.

Individuals with high cholesterol who adhere to their statin medication are healthier
A new study presented today by pharmacy benefit manager Prime Therapeutics (Prime), in collaboration with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota (Blue Cross), at the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy's 2012 Educational Conference, showed that individuals with high cholesterol who stayed on their statin medications over a two-year period were healthier but had a slightly higher overall cost of care.
The study found individuals adherent to statin medication went to the hospital or emergency department 2.6 percent less often than non-adherent individuals, resulting in medical costs that were 7 percent lower (a difference of $767). The lower medical costs, however, were offset by pharmacy costs that were 45 percent higher (a difference of $1,606).
This conclusion varies from earlier studies that showed individuals adherent to their cholesterol medication had a lower total cost of care because their lower medical costs more than offset their higher pharmacy costs. The reason for the difference identified in this study may be due to population differences, including younger age, according to the authors.
"This study is a continuation of our collaborative work with Blue Cross into understanding the connection between adherence and total cost of health care, including hospitalizations," said Pat Gleason, PharmD, FCCP, BCPS, director of clinical outcomes assessment with Prime. "With the increasing availability of generic statins, especially the generic atorvastatin of the brand Lipitor, the higher pharmacy costs we found may be lowered. In this study, adherence to statins was associated with lower medical costs and hospitalizations, two very important outcomes that will help up us recommend solutions that lead to healthier outcomes for individuals."
In the study, researchers from Prime and Blue Cross compared medical and pharmacy costs among individuals with high cholesterol who were adherent to their statin medication to individuals who were not adherent ("adherence" was defined as following the medication regime 80 percent of the time or more). Of the 45,869 members included in the study, 21,693 (47.3 percent) were adherent and 24,176 (52.7 percent) non-adherent during the two-year follow-up period.

You got it right on your second guess. ACV is a car insurance term and stands for Actual Cash Value.
The technical definition of actual cash value is the replacement cost of property minus depreciation or with car insurance it is thought of as the fair market value of your vehicle. An easier to understand definition for ACV is the worth of your car, in the condition it was in (door dings, rust, dirty interior and all) the moment before your car was in an accident.
If you have been in a car accident where your vehicle was harmed and you have made a claim for its damages, the auto insurance company working your claim will determine the ACV for your vehicle.
The car insurance company calculates the value of your car to see if they will pay to fix it or if it is more economical to instead find your car to be a total loss. If the ACV of your car is low, it is more likely to be declared a total loss, because when repairs cost 75% or more of a vehicle's value most insurers will not pay to fix it.
Insurance companies each have their own internal guidelines about how to calculate your car's ACV but in general they will use at least some of the following ways:
- Information from local dealers on how much the vehicle would have sold for.
- Average the cost of comparable cars (same make, model, year, condition) advertised in your area within the past 30 days.
- Valuation guides such as NADA and Kelly Blue Book.
- Computerized evaluation software.
Every automobile insurance company has their own internal rules that are used to determine actual cash value. Determining the ACV is subjective and there is no standard way that all insurers use.
If your car was declared a total loss and the car insurance company working your claim (your own for a Collision claim or the at-fault party's for a Property Damage Liability claim) has told you they are figuring out your vehicle's ACV for a settlement offer, then ask your adjuster what methods they are using.
If your agent is unable to explain to you about ACV or otherwise fulfill your car insurance needs, contact a CarInsurance.com agent who can explain not only insurance terms and claim procedures but and also tell you how they can get you affordable auto insurance.

Team Sky ride Tour du Haut Var despite overnight theft of 16 bikes
Team staff dash to training base in Nice to pick up replacement bikes and equipment
Team Sky say they have been able to start the Tour du Haut Var today, despite becoming the latest professional cycling team to fall victim to thieves, with 16 Pinarello bikes stolen from a vehicle outside the team hotel in the South of France overnight.
The team is the latest to suffer a large-scale theft of equipment, with Cannondale Pro Cycling and Lampre-Merida both losing falling victim to break-ins at their premises in recent months, with bikes and components stolen.
The theft from Sky is similar to one suffered by Garmin-Sharp sharp just over 12 months ago when it had to pull out of the Tour Méditerranéen after 16 bikes were taken from a team van, again outside its hotel.
Unlike the American team, Sky were able to take to the start line this lunchtime after managing to obtain replacement bikes, most of them from its training base in Nice, 100km away by road, and one being lent by the Bretagne-Séché Environnement team who were staying at the same hotel in Le Cannet des Maures.
Sky race coach Shaun Stephens told the team's website: "The thieves took all the bikes, bar two, and we presume they only left those because they'd run out of space in whatever transport they were using. They also took some of the spare training wheels, and various bits of other equipment.
"We're still able to take part in the race though and seven of our eight riders will be riding team-issue Pinarellos. The two that were left in the van are going to be used and we managed to source five others from our training house in Nice, which is about an hour away from where we're staying.
"Our Head of Operations, Carsten Jeppesen, made the trip there this morning to pick up whatever he could. We've got various training bikes and spare components, so fortunately the show goes on."
"The hardest thing was actually getting the replacement bikes set up in time for the race start. Our mechanics Alan [Williams] and Igor [Turk] did a tremendous job getting them prepared, and it's been a great team effort in general.
Speaking of the bike lent to the team by Bretagne-Séché Environnement, which will be ridden by Sebastien Henao in today's sprint stage and by Chris Sutton tomorrow, he said: "That was a really nice gesture from them and we appreciate it a lot. Things like that really show the spirit of cycling and we can't thank them enough."
He added: "Racing so close to Nice, it's almost the best of a bad situation, because if it had been anywhere else in the world we'd have been in real trouble and probably not been able to take part.
"Fortunately we had a lot of spare equipment there so we should be OK to continue without the need for any further replacements."
Surely someone is going to start learning lessons from this - that must be the best part of £1m of bikes and kit stolen in 12 months now?

they'll have to start fitting secure racks and locking the bikes inside the vans instead of just relying on the van locks. Some ultrasonic alarms inside to detect movement would also be a "good thing"

Get a dog!
Failing that, leave the posh vinyl wrapped logos off the van with the bikes in it and go stealthy.

In addition to the other reasonable security ideas mentioned, they might as well install some sort of camera-based security system monitoring in and around the vehicles that can send mobile alerts or store info locally if cell jammers are used.
That kind of technology is realitively cheap. Speaking of which, I wonder if Belkin has some sort of advanced mobile security for their vehicles since that's along the lines of the products that their main sponsor actually sells.

Surely by now the teams have worked out that they're being targeted by what seems to be professional organised gangs?
And they just park their vans up in some back street hotel car park, no security other than the locks on the doors?! Frankly that's fucking insane and an insult to the sponsors who then have to run round sorting out tens of thousands of pounds of extra kit at a moments notice. Ultimately, the consumer ends up footing the bill in increased prices on the shop floor.
Surely it's not too much trouble to fit deadlocks, shackles and so on, lock each bike into the wall of the truck - after all they're fully customised already. Either that or actually employ a security guard. With each bike being worth £10k + it's only 2 or 3 bikes worth to pay a guard for a year! Which is more inconvenient, 10 mins extra to lock and unlock all the bikes each day or hours of scrabbling round sourcing kit when yours all gets nicked?!

Or the low tech solution of a big ass lock like the rest of us use, these teams really need to get real about security.

With the costs of these bikes, it seems folley to not have better security, I hope they have a hell of an insurance policy.

Clearly it's all to obvious to work out where these guys are staying and it's all too obvious to work out which van has the gear in it.
These guys need to park a van at the hotel with a load of Gumtree death bikes sat inside and send the other one somewhere completely different. For Haut Var the 100km drive to a secure home base isn't too excessive.

The study grades companies depending on the level of public evidence of their anti-corruption systems and processes, and includes companies from the largest arms exporting nations like USA, Russia, Germany, France, the UK and China - who between them are responsible for over 90 per cent of the arms sales around the world.
Two-thirds of the world's biggest defence companies do not provide adequate public evidence about how they fight corruption.
There is definite improvement going on among defence companies. Two groups of companies are much more open than the others - 10 companies that had good public disclosure of anti-corruption systems, and 34 companies that disclosed company internal information.
The study scores countries from A to F based on the measures they have in place to prevent corruption in the defence sector. Governments are assessed in five key areas of risk in the defence and security sector: political risk, financial risk, personnel risk, operations risk, and procurement risk.
70 per cent of countries placed in the lower end, Bands D, E, and F. With limited legislative and public scrutiny, and a lack of effective regulations addressing corruption in this high risk sector, they leave the door open to waste and security threats.
Only 15 per cent of governments assessed were found to have political oversight of defence policy that is comprehensive, accountable, and effective. Just two countries—Australia and Germany—scored in the top Band A.
Together, the countries in this index spent USD 1.6 trillion on their military sector, equivalent to 94% of global military expenditure in 2011. This Index sheds light on a huge and secretive sector often tarnished by corruption scandals, and provides Ministries of Defence, Armed Forces, legislators, and civil society with a tool to guide reform and change.
On 6 February we launched a report focusing on the 19 Middle East and North African countries assessed in this Index, all of which have been found to be at high or critical risk of corruption in defence.
On 14 February we held a press conference in Kabul about Afghanistan's performance in the Index. Although the country is at very high risk of corruption in defence, it performed better than expected.

KP201 is in development for the treatment of acute moderate to moderately severe pain with a new drug application (NDA) expected to be filed in Q2 2014. Recently assigned the nonproprietary name, "benzhydrocodone," by the United States Adopted Name (USAN) Council, KP201 represents the first novel pain therapy of the morphine class to be developed in a number of years with an officially recognized new chemical structure.
About KP201
KemPharm's most advanced opioid-based drug candidate, KP201, is composed of hydrocodone chemically bound to a ligand. The Company previously reported positive Phase 1 clinical data, which confirmed that KP201 is metabolized in man as predicted, releasing hydrocodone into the bloodstream at amounts equivalent to the reference listed drug, Norco®. This data supports a 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for KP201 in combination with acetaminophen.
KP201 has unique physicochemical and pharmacological attributes that may deliver additional patient benefits, including reduced potential for abuse and reduction or elimination of opioid-induced constipation (OIC). Importantly, intact KP201 was not detected in systemic circulation, suggesting that minimal additional studies could be justified to determine the impact of KP201 exposure in the body.
KemPharm has worked diligently with its manufacturing partner, Johnson Matthey , to successfully and efficiently scale up KP201 active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in anticipation of a commercial launch. KP201 is on track for an NDA submissi

In my introduction post to Black Hole SEO I hinted that I was going to talk about how to get "unique authoritative content." I realize that sounds like an oxymoron. If content is authoritative than that means it must be proven to work well in the search engines. Yet if the content is unique than it can't exist in the search engines. Kind of a nasty catch-22. So how is unique authoritative content even possible? Well to put it simply, content can be dropped from the search engines' index.
That struck a cord didn't it? So if content can be in the search engines one day and be performing very well and months to years down the road no longer be listed, than all we have to do is find it and snag it up. That makes it both authoritative and as of the current moment, unique as well. This is called Desert Scraping because you find deserted and abandoned content and claim it as your own. Well, there's quite a few ways of doing it of course. Most of which is not only easy to do but can be done manually by hand so they don't even require any special scripting. Let's run through a few of my favorites.
Archive.orgAlexa's Archive.org is one of the absolute best spots to find abandoned content. You can look up any old authoritative articles site and literally find thousands of articles that once performed in the top class yet no longer exist in the engines now. Let's take into example one of the great classic authority sites, Looksmart.
1. Go to Archive.org and search for the authority site you're wanting to scrape.
2. Select an old date, so the articles will have plenty of time to disappear from the engines.
3. Browse through a few subpages till you find an article on your subject that you would like to have on your site.
4. Find an article that fits your subject perfectly.
5. Do a SITE: command in the search engines to see if the article still exists there.
6. If it no longer exists just copy the article and stake your claim.
See how easy it is? This can be done for just about any old authority site. As you can imagine there's quite a bit of content out there that is open for hunting. Just remember to focus on articles on sites that performed very well in the past, that ensures a much higher possibility of it performing well now. However, let's say we wanted to do this on a mass scale without Archive.org. We already know that the search engines don't index each and every page no matter how big the site is. So all we have to do is find a sitemap.
SitemapsIf you can locate a sitemap than you can easily make a list of all the pages on a domain. If you can get all the pages on the domain and compare them to the SITE: command in the search engines than you can return a list of all the pages/articles that aren't indexed.
1. Locate the sitemap on the domain and parse it into a flat file with just the urls.
2. Make a quick script to go through the list and do a SITE: command for each URL in the search engines.
3. Anytime the search engine returns a result total of greater than 0, just delete the url off the list.
4. Verify the list by making sure that each url actually does exist and consists of articles you would like to use.
There is one inherent problem with the automatic way. Since it's grabbing the entire site through its sitemap than you are going to get a ton of negative results, like search queries and other stuff they want indexed but you want no part of. So it's best to target a particular subdirectory or subdomain within the main domain that fits your targeted subject matter. For instance if you were wanting articles on Automotive, than only use the portion of the sitemap that contains domain.com/autos or autos.domain.com.
There are quite a few other methods of finding deserted content. For instance many big sites use custom 404 error pages. A nice exploit is to do site:domain.com "Sorry this page cannot be found" then lookup the cached copy in another search engine that may not of updated the page yet. There is certainly no shortage of them. Can you think of any others?
