Fledgling businesses get lifeblood of support at pioneering incubator
Posted: May 22, 2014|
BUSINESSES set up by graduates will operate from a new city centre retail incubator launched by Nottingham Trent University.
The outlet – based at Cobden Chambers, in Pelham Street – is part of a new a project by The Hive, the university's centre for enterprise and entrepreneurship, to support its upcoming businesses.
It is believed to be the UK's first permanent university retail incubator in a city centre.
Backed by Santander Universities, it will allow three shops to open in which Hive businesses and Nottingham Trent University students will be able to sell their own merchandise and gain experience.
The incubator will initially include three main Hive businesses: Cavology, a high-end lifestyle shop; Relm, which specialises in young urban fashion; and Wiseman Designs, which creates mobile phone apps and web solutions.
All three businesses are expected to be at Cobden Chambers for at least a year, after which other Hive-based retailers will move in.
Graham Smith, 25, of Wiseman Designs, said: "This opportunity finally gives us a freehold into the city centre, which we have been after.
"Since moving in, we have already signed three deals to the value of £20,000."
Chris Hall, business manager at The Hive, said: "It can be difficult for anyone to get a business off the ground, and in a retail environment where the costs of rent, rates and fittings are frequently an insurmountable barrier to most, it often becomes impossible.
"So we are delighted to be able to open the unit, which was only made possible through the support of Santander, which has helped to fund this initiative through its Enterprise Fund."
Sean Macaskill, enterprise adviser at The Hive, said: "Our aim is to permanently run a retail incubator and, as far as we're aware, this is the first permanent university retail incubator unit in a UK city centre.
"Enterprise is a subject you can learn. But entrepreneurship is something that you develop through experience and Cobden Chambers is the perfect place for our businesses to do this.
"It will give our young people the foundation to become a real success, without the pressures of having to make such a big first step on to the high street on their own. And it's a chance for shoppers to buy something unique from independent retailers that isn't mass produced."
The businesses moved in a few weeks ago but an opening ceremony was held yesterday. The university's vice- chancellor, Professor Neil Gorman, said: "The university has always had good links with the business community in Nottingham.
"The Hive is for students to develop their ideas, and we wanted to get their efforts out into the business community.
"This is good for the city because there is always a concern about talent leaving, but this is an example of keeping talent here in Nottingham."
Luke Ellis, relationship director with Santander Universities, UK said: "When we began our partnership with Nottingham Trent University, one of our primary aims was to support entrepreneurs and this incubator space is a perfect example of the collaboration between the university and Santander. I have no doubt many great business ideas will grow thanks to this new outlet in Cobden Chambers."

Fact - Nutty's 3 main points for predicting the end of JSDA for the last 2+ years has been:
1. Cash on Hand
2. Quarterly Losses
3. No Insider Buying by CEO
One of those main points, and the thing he constantly knocked Meissner for was not buying shares himself. But now, with JC's recent buys for almost 90K shares, she has done EXACTLY what he wanted to see from Meissner, which considering JSDA's questionable past, reflects a pretty reasonable show of confidence.
Really, from an "overall" standpoint, we can't argue that Nutty has been wrong in his points because Jones has continued it's descent the entire time. So given he has been correct......Could this actually be a first sign of turnaround once again in the life of JSDA?
The next Nutty signs to watch for will be achieving a quarterly profit, or further resolution to cash.
Will one of these happen?? We'll have to wait and see.
Can one of these happen?? I would say there's a reasonable chance given Nutty's importance placed on having shares purchasesd by the CEO.
Didn't say that turnaround is fact, but CEO purchase could be a step in the right direction. If the old MB was here, I could probably pull up 100 messages of yours that used Meissner not buying as a negative.
So how exactly do you interpret JC's purchases?
those 100 responses was to your pumping meissners 10k shares he bought ...when he was making over 250k a year ....
for insider buying to mean anything there has to be several insiders buying "enmasse"
jc buying means nothing .. just like the rest of the ceo's you were pumping were buying..
buying company stock could be a condition of her position ....and i beleive she has 1 million shares that are fully vested that she can buy...just like meissner when he started.....
keep pumping ceo buying like the last 4 ceo's that left .... to look for a turnaround look at the balance sheet and sec filings ......and you will see the end is near....FACT!!!!!
Sentiment: Strong Sell
yahoo wont let me say what i want ...so all i have to say to you puting words in my mouth and your delusional spin on ceo buying is how did pumping the last ceo buying work out for you ????
Hah, now I think even you have to admit that this is not pumping, but rather a fair picture based on your facts, what's happened, and what to look for going forward if a turnaround is in fact underway

Issue #67 • January/February, 2001
It was maybe 30 years ago when Davethat's Dave Duffyand I left Boston on a January afternoon to go play poker at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, almost halfway across the state. We left in pretty good weather and got to the University in plenty of time. It turned out to be a worthwhile trip for me; I made some good money that night.
But the next morning, when we left, snow was falling. The snowflakes were wet and heavy and the size of nickels, and Dave's little VW Bug had a broken windshield wiper. Glops of snow stuck to the windshield and piled up on the highway making the driving treacherous. We traveled with our windows down and a piece of string leading from each window and attached to the driver's wiper blade. As we drove along, Dave pulled the string on his side to pull the blade up, then I'd pull the string that went out my window to bring it back. It more or less worked, but every once in awhile we had to pull over to straighten the system out.
We hadn't gotten far when we first saw the plows. They seemed barely able to keep ahead of the accumulation, and they pushed the snow into banks alongside the road creating the illussion we were driving through a valley. The further we went, the narrower the road was. More plows. It seemed as if, soon, there wouldn't be any place to plow it. Dave wondered if it had been a good idea to leave that morning.
Then we saw themtwo girls hitchhiking on what would have been the edge of the passing lane, had the number one lane not been piled high with snow.
"Should we pick them up? Dave asked.
"Pick them up."
We would never have picked up two guys.
Dave coasted to a stop and I yelled out the window, "Where are you going?"
"Where are you going?" one of them asked.
"Boston," I said.
She mentioned a town just outside Boston.
"We'll take you there," I said and got out of the car to let them climb in back. It was cramped back there. Had we been a pair of psychos, they were effectively trapped.
They were goddesses, but whereas one of them was quiet, the other was bubbly. I tried to make conversation.
They said they were from the college. We were older and I tried to impress them.
"Have you been listening to the radio?" the bubbly one suddenly asked.
"Did you hear about the plane crash?"
"What crash?"
"There was one this morning in California."
We hadn't heard.
"The last guy to give us a ride said there was about 250 celebrities on board. They were going to a charity fund raiser. They think everyone was killed."
"Like who?"
"Bob Hope, Carly Simon, the Smothers Brothers..." She rattled off other names. The snow suddenly didn't seem so bad. Dave turned the radio on and started going through the stations but all we were getting were top-40 stations: the Fifth Dimension wanted to go up, up and away on one station, the Beatles bemoaned Michelle on another, but no one talked about the crash.
I talked about how much I liked Bob Hope and the Smothers Brothers. They did too. I asked if they could think of any other people on the plane. The one who did most of the talking said she thought the guy had mentioned James Taylor. It seemed like John Wayne was on it, too.
This was a real catastrophe. But there was no news of it, just the damned music. I mentioned how I couldn't understand why we weren't hearing updates.
"Are you sure that's what the guy said?" I asked.
She was sure.
"Did you hear any newscasts?" I asked her.
"He had turned his radio off before we got in," she said. "He said it was just too depressing to listen to."
On we went like this for several miles, Dave driving, me scanning for news while, at the same time, we tried to keep the windshield wipers going.
"We get out here," she suddenly said.
I looked around. We had barely made it to the next town.
"We're not even near Boston," I said.
"That's okay," she said. "We've got to see someone."
"We'll wait for you," I said.
"No, we're going to be awhile."
"We can wait," I repeated as they got out of the car.
But the talkative one smiled and said, "No."
Then they were gone. We hadn't had a chance to ask them out. We hadn't even asked their names. As Dave drove on I still manned the radio. Still no news. But the snow was letting up, so we didn't do the wipers as often. We talked about how pretty the girls were. They were beautiful.
"Why do you think that guy told them there was a plane crash?" I asked. Dave shrugged and drove on. But I already knew the answer. And though I still checked the radio stations, just in case, I realized there had been no plane crash. Bob Hope, Carly Simon, the Smothers Brothers, and the rest of them were all safe in California or wherever they were at the moment. And the two girls had been safely dropped off in a town just outside of Amherst unhassled and unharmed. Even a psycho, like the Boston Strangler or Ted Bundy, would have become too caught up in their story to have entertained any thought of harming them. We didn't talk about them much after that. But when I think about them today, I'm just glad the glib one hadn't been in that poker game.

Virginia did not secede because of the attack on Ft. Sumter- at least not directly.
What led to the secession of Virginia was Mr. Lincoln's response to Ft. Sumter. On 15 April, he demanded troops from Virginia to suppress the states that had already seceded. On the 27th, he ordered a blockade of Virginia, while it was still in the Union. Anticipating the secession vote on May 23rd, he then made preparations for an invasion of Virginia involving thousands of troops.
After these actions by the U.S. Government, the Unionists in Virginia could no longer prevail.
Virginia: Spring 1861
Note: The contention of the source above that some federal troops crossed the Potomac on May 3rd is apparently in correct. So, I have edited this posting, with a tip of the hat to Hank C.

According to a report from Bloomberg, online storage company Dropbox has inked a deal with Softbank Corp and Sony Ericsson that should help it expand its user base into both Asia and Europe.
For starters, the Softbank partnership will mean that Dropbox is to be preloaded on two Android handsets in Japan. Softbank will be providing an additional two gigabytes of storage free, on top of the two gigabytes that Dropbox already provides. The Dropbox model provides paid options for users to upgrade to more storage if they choose.
Softbank was recently ranked 13th on a Wireless Intelligence's global ranking of mobile operators according to revenue. But at the recent Global Mobile Internet Conference, the company's EVP Ted Matsumoto stated that Softbank aspires to be the number one mobile internet service provider on the planet.
Dropbox has more than a few fans in Japan already as the service was used by a number of people to share information and host improvised websites in the wake of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
We have reached out to our contact at Softbank this morning for more details about the nature of the Dropbox partnership, but we have yet to receive a reply.

More milestones for NHN Japan and its Line chat app, which is continuing to prove its worth as a game platform. After the company passed the lofty 100 million user figure last week, there's word today that its popular game Line Pop has been downloaded by 20 million users, and Line Bubble by 10 million users.
Line Pop took 56 days to reach the milestone, having racked up 10 million downloads in its first 12 days. Line Bubble has been impressive too, with its 10 million downloads coming within its first 28 days. Both games are about as casual as they come, and personally I'm not a big fan. I've played them both, and uninstalled them after just a few days – and I wonder how many of the aforementioned downloaders have done the same. Nevertheless, I still get messages from friends whose score I've beaten 1, asking me back to the game via Line chat messages.
And while I'm not really into these games, my wife is a huge Line Birzzle fan (another similarly casual puzzle game from NHN Japan) and I'm not sure if a day has passed in the last three months where she hasn't played it.
The genius of Line is that it has a persistent connection with users, and can push new games and apps like these in front of them regularly as long as they continue to use the chat app (see picture, lower left). As I log in today, I see there's a new Line Band app, which is a sort of group relationship manager. I'm not going to download it, but I think it's impressive that Line can keep me aware of new products in this manner.
If you'd like to try Line's full suite of casual games for yourself, you can get the Line app and browse them from the more/game section. [Via japan.internet.com]

Haiti has been hampered by an unfortunate mix of unstable governments and natural disasters, from mudslides to earthquakes. More than a third of the country lacked access to safe water before the quake struck Port-au-Prince in 2010. When it did, thousands fled to the countryside and water sources quickly became overstressed or contaminated.
Now, nearly 70% of Haitians lack direct access to potable water, and only 55% have access to an improved water source. Haiti is rebuilding and will be for years; sustainable clean water access is crucial for their recovery.

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest Infertility Blog. Today I have answered your questions on a variety of infertility topics.
What if your estrogen is lower than expected after you take fertility drugs? Estrogen alone is not the most important factor in your fertility drug treatment and is not the best predictor of pregnancy. The ultrasound is more helpful. If say you have 3 eggs growing, we may expect you estrogen to be 240-500, but levels in the 100's could work out just fine.
IUI vs. timed intercourse. With normal sperm, logic says intercourse should be just as good, but the studies show that there is a slight improvement in pregnancy rates with iui. 1% of the sperm makes it from the vagina to the uterus during intercourse and 1% of that make it to the tubes. For women easily conceiving, the numbers mean nothing. When someone is having trouble conceiving, every little bit helps.
Ovulation after the hCG injection take place approximately 36 hours later. The time will only be shorter if you have started to ovulate on your own before the shot.
Treatment for low morphology. If you suspect a problem with the sperm it is best to consult with a top fertility urologist. Overall, we do not believe that morphology means much. Many cases of low morphology are really normal morphology. What I mean here is that we may not know what a normal sperm looks like, and the shape we see may mean nothing. Of course there are exceptions.
Luteal Support
Progesterone support for clomid or femara? Some doctors always prescribe progesterone and some never do. Most studies show no benefit, unless in an IVF cycle. If your period comes much earlier than expected, you may be more of a candidate for progesterone. However, just because you get your period early does not mean that you were unable to get pregnant. It is most likely that if you had a good pregnancy going, the period would not come at all.
Vision problems with clomid. Almost always temporary and some doctors don't take patients off clomid who have such issues. I have women switch.
Stress and Clomid. Fifteen percent of women have side effects from clomid which are mostly mental. Depression is a top contender. If you are taking clomid and now you feel way more stressed than before, talk to your doctor about an alternative medication.
40 years old doing Clomid. It's fine as long as you are informed of the actual pregnancy rate per try, and you are told about the pregnancy rates of injections and IVF. I do not like to use Clomid in women in their 40s because the pregnancy rate is low and time is slipping away. But if you are informed and you are ok with your choice, than that's the best treatment for you. I do not use estradiol with Clomid.
In cases of no response to clomid, we have used the extended clomid protocol. This just means if ovulation does not start, you can start the clomid within a few days again instead of waiting for another provera period.
Not starting IVf due to a high progesterone. Few of us measure progesterone on day 2 or day 3. Currently we do not think it is important. Very low levels are hard to measure accurately. For example, a lab may report a level of 2.1, which some consider ovulation, but your levels may really be 0.9, no ovulation.
What is the theory behind estrogen prime? Most women who are recommended for E2m (estrogen) prime are poor responders, many of whom have elevated FSH levels. The theory is this. FSH is the same compound that is in the fertility injections, so f there is extra FSH floating around (high FSH levels) before the fertility drugs are given, the injected FSH may not make much of a difference. Estrogen lowers the amount of natural FSH floating around. If we can lower the natural FSH, the injected FSH will be more of a shock to the ovaries and get them to jump into action. Just a theory.
IVF works just as well if your ovaries are retriperitoneal. The ovaries are usually in a similar place as a normal ovary, but they are just covered with a layer if internal skin that has formed as a result of all of the chronic inflammation caused by the endometriosis.
Nice embryos on day 3, very bad on day 5. I whole-heartedly believe in day 5 transfers, but the individual patient cannot be ignored. If the embryos look super on day 3 and terrible on day 5, I sometimes go back to the day 3. In my practice I see this in about once every 200 patients.
Can you biopsy a frozen blastocyst? Yes. Sometimes the embryo needs to be refrozen while waiting for the results, and sometimes refreezing is not necessary.
Day 5 morulas can result in a normal pregnancy. However the odds are lower than of the embryos have reached a more advanced stage.
Can a frozen cycle be better than a fresh cycle. Some say yes for a couple of reasons. First, the estrogen level is usually higher in a fresh cycle and there are some theories, mostly unproven, that higher estrogens are better for implantation. The other reason has to do with these small rises in progesterone that occur before the hcg injection in a fresh cycle. This is also unproven, however the field in general is starting to pay more attention to this issue. More research is coming. Right now, almost every clinic prefers a fresh cycle.
Natural cycle Frozen Embryo Transfers (FET). I d not usually perform the natural FET. The reason is that the cycle is more likely to be cancelled for uncertainty of the surge timing, or known premature ovulation. Otherwise it's an ok option.
Uterine Adhesions: Ashmermans
The unstuck type of Ashermans. I have never heard this term before, but completely understand what you are saying as I have seen some cases of this. I am assuming the term means the uterine cavity is open and the HSG shows a normal shaped cavity with no scar. However, for some reason, probably due to scarring that takes place just under the lining, the lining is very thin. Something has damaged the part of the uterus that makes the gland cells. Some gland cells are made, but not enough to let the lining grow to the expected levels. This is a tough situation because not much can be done to make the lining thicker. However, many women do get pregnant with very thin linings.
If you had a septum and you are still not pregnant, you may need to have another hsg to be sure the septum was fully removed. This is a common issue. Once that is done, certainly there may be other issues for your infertility, sometimes discovered and sometimes not. If you are not pregnant post septum correction, you may need to follow the regular infertility treatment paths.
FSH Levels
Day 21 measurements of FSH are not helpful unless that are very high. Very high anytime is bad, very low anytime is not helpful. When low it has to be days 2-4 and an estrogen must be measures with the FSH. If the Estrogen is high, the FSH is not valid and both need to be repeated.
An FSH of 17 on day 2 is not good. It may be a mistake, it may need a repeat, but it needs to be investigated further.
Alternatives to clomid with PCO or anovulation. Certainly all of the complimentary treatments can be tried. If weight is a possible problem, tackle that and good results should follow. Don't forget about the nutritionist as there may be many subtle non-calorie issues that need adjusting.
PCO with a spike in FSH from 5 to 9? There is some variation in FSH levels form month to month. If you really have PCO I would not worry about the level of 9, it may just be a blip. If your resting follicle count is not in the PCO range, the level may indeed be accurate.
First treatment for those who have PCO and do not ovulate. There are options. The quickest way to get a chance at pregnancy is to make an attempt with clomid. There are other very good options. Weight loss, or at least diet adjustment, is a great start but ovulation may not return right away, if ever. This is a discussion you need to have with your doctor. If you would rather start with Injections or IVF, that's ok too.
Can fertility drugs exacerbate endometriosis? Yes, however usually not to a large degree. Overall fertility drugs will increase pregnancy rates in women with endometriosis, not lower rates. I do not believe in "freshening up the ovary" by removing an endometriosis cyst pre IVF, but every case is different and you need discuss this with your doctor. One problem is that removing cysts, no matter how careful your doctor is, will result in removing some eggs. Many women with endometriosis have damaged ovaries with reduced egg numbers, therefore losing even more eggs with the cyst may not be good.
Should everyone get checked for endometriosis? Yes, but the details may differ. Everyone should have an ultrasound. If the ultrasound shows endometriosis, there is your answerer. If the ultrasound is normal and the exam is normal and there is no history of pain, and the hsg is normal, the odds of endometriosis being a factor are really low. Is a laparoscopy to double check indicated? It may be, depending on the history and the motivations of the patient, In general, laparoscopies are not performed in such cases.
Polyps and Fibroids
Small polyps probably do not cause miscarriage. In many cases polpys can be seen during your ultrasounds for fertility monitoring. It's easier to see them as the follicle size and estrogen levels increase. It's harder to see them post-ovulation.
Fibriods and infertility. I tend to be conservative with fibroids and in many cases I do not recommend surgery. However, two 6 centimeter fibroids could be a problem, you need a second opinion. Letrazol will probably not increase the size of a fibroid by much.
Hypothyroidism and thyroid antibodies. The general feeling across the country is that the TSH needs to be lower than 2-3.5 to improve fertility and prevent miscarriage. NYU preformed a large studying showing this is not the case and that there is no relationship, providing the hypothyroidism is treated. Many doctors are over treating basically normal women with thyroid hormone. Of course discuss the problem with your doctor.
I am not aware of any large studies showing letrazol reduces miscarriages.
I am unaware oflegs cramps with letrazol
RH antibodies can be measured, so your doctor can easily test you for this.
Exercise can weaken or remove ovulation, but the amount of exercise needs to be extreme, i.e running 25+ miles per week. There may be some variation there, but 5 hours in a gym per week is probably not enough to make a difference.
28 years old and no pregnancy despite 8years of unprotected intercourse? Testing is required. Not necessarily a lot of testing, just start with the hsg, semen analysis and day 3 FSH testing.
Thanks for reading.Nice to be reaching out to everyone again. Don't forget to read the disclaimer 5.17.06.

I'm so disappointed with 2.8 that I'm looking to downgrade back to previous version. As for the admin inteface changes such as the widgets and plugins they f&*^ed it all up, adding crappy things here and there with no purpose at all.
Only advatanges is the new codepress editor which gives syntax highlighting to the previously-plain editor and a few others.
You may view all the new features, upgrades, changes for the new 2.8 version HERE
Previous version Interface was just fine the way it was.
I heard that plugin page messed up in WP 2.8 Is that true ?
If anything the Widget page is better lol!
It's cool. But I hated to see the plugins page messed up !!
Indian & International webmasters are welcome !!!
Everything seems to be doing fine for me -- I do not see a messy plugin page Except if you mean that activated plugins should be on top and deactivated plugins on bottom than I have to agree

|Gray scale and power Doppler ultrasonography in evaluation of early rheumatoid arthritis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21210015 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|INTRODUCTION: Ultrasonography provides information regarding synovial membrane proliferation and its vascularization. The AIM of our study was to evaluate the role of gray scale and power Doppler ultrasonography in assessing early rheumatoid arthritis by analyzing the scores determined by the evaluation of synovial proliferation, joint effusion, erosion or soft tissue swelling.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was prospective comprising 34 patients (31 female, 3 men), mean age 45.68 years, with clinical changes and biochemical early rheumatoid arthritis. Bilateral wrist, II-V metacarpophalangeal, and proximal interphalangeal joints were evaluated by dorsal and palmar scans.
RESULTS: The mean duration from the onset of symptoms was 3.46 months. Based on the clinical, biochemical and US scores the patients from our study presented early stages of RA. Also, statistically significant correlations were observed between the time elapsed from the onset, the changes highlighted by ultrasound and the stage of the disease (stage 0 or 1).
CONCLUSIONS: Our study confirms that US evaluation of changes in the joints of the hand offers useful information for staging the diagnosis of RA.

ANK Audiokits Kit1 300B - 8th Anniversary Edition
Integrated or Power-Only Single-Ended Triode Hi-Fi Amplifier
We are pleased to announce the new "8th Anniversary Edition Kit1" - The original Kit1 is the product that started the Audio Note Kit business. How many of you knew that Audio Note president Peter Qvortrup wrote the original Kit1 manual! The amplifier is considered a classic and with the new look we feel that we have payed homage to this wonderful single-ended amplifier that has set so many people on the audiophile path!
The brand new chassis design will now cater for all possible configurations of this ever-popular amplifier.
The Kit1 offers you the chance to experience real high quality S.E.T. (Single-Ended Triode) amplification for yourself - but at a highly affordable price. This kit has been evolving since it first appeared in the mid 1990's and, as such, has proved its high reliability and customer satisfaction index time and time again.
The new chassis and configuration options have come about from listening to the needs of all our users over these years and make this model second to none - allowing us to combine all previous models of the Kit1 into one highly upgradeable unit.
|Enlarge Image
New Copper Insert Plate Option
Standard Configurations and Pricing
The new version comes in several different configurations:
|Kit1 Standard Version (black chassis, stainless steel insert plate)
|Kit1 Signature Parts Upgrade Package
This carries with it a 15% discount as opposed to buying the components individually.
Click here for further details.
"It is bloody amazing!!"

The following pictures show the new Kit1 at various stages of construction.

Just wanted to let you know that I have my Kit1 amp pretty much the way I want it now. I have a pair of Sophia Electric Princess mesh plate 300B's, a Sophie Electric 6SN7, Two NOS Tung-Sol 5687's, and my new Khozmo attenuator installed. The sound is amazing, even played through my test speakers. My new speakers will arrive over the weekend. I love the new attenuator. Your were right, it just fit. I love the control it offers at the low volume. Also, as the volume increases, the base response is flatter than the Alps POT. Thanks for your recommendation. The Princess mesh plates look amazing and sounds even better! Once my speakers come in I will be breaking in the system for a couple of months and then I will let you know just how much more I love the amp.
Randy Yach
Alright, Brian...
How did you manage to get that much detail out of an 8 watt amp?!? I am so impressed with the Kit 1. I cannot believe how much money over the past 20 years I have spent looking for this kind of sound.
Glenn Seitz
Overall look and feel of the parts especially the aluminum case, rca and loudspeaker terminals, copper insert plate are so beautiful - So I have not heard the sonics yet, but as now very happy with the purchase, thank you.
Saygin Eroglu Moscow
Albums that are recorded well like:
Dire Straits - Brother in Arms
Natalie Merchant - Ophelia, Tiger Lily
Jeff Beck - Live at Ronnie Scotts
Bela Fleck - Flight of the Cosmic Hippo
Jerry Garcia & David Grisham - Grateful Dawg
Are just scary good. When you close your eyes and play Bela's Star Spangled Banner, it sounds like he is right in front of you and you can hear the banjo music sound like he is walking in from the left and exiting on the right. Same with Jerry and David on Friend of the Devil. It just sounds like they are sitting there in front of you.
Robin Adair
Jack Robertson
"the past few days the sound has just been absolutely brilliant. Maybe it is the temperature (winter is coming), maybe the 300bs breaking in even further. The sound is refined, better balanced now then I expected it to become and vocals, piano and some other instruments sound just stunning :). Imaging is still as good as ever."
Johan de jong
Felice Seregni, Italy
Even without allowing burn in time I'm very impressed with the sound and even more impressed with the sound stage. I've come to realise that my speakers are a lot better than I thought. I loved my old Kit1 but it doesn't bear comparison with the new one on any aspect. The thought that it can only get better as it settles down delights me.
Thank you for the efforts you have made to help me to succesfully complete the building of the amp, I couldn't have asked for more.
Terry Kelly
The sounds I am hearing from this setup are just wonderful. As compared to the previous system (which I still have as a reference) the sound is richly detailed against an absolutely black background and very three dimensional.
I have never had a sonic experience like this in my own home before. And this is with only about five hours of burn in time so far.
The amplifier power is beyond adequate for the speakers. It is a perfect match as best I can tell.
I am listening to my kit 1 as I write this on my laptop. Joe Williams is crooning as never before in my living room. The sound of the amp with the Silverline Sonatina's is truely beautiful. The amp probably has perhaps 30 hours on it now. I cannot imagine the sound improving beyond what I hear at this point even though this is still on the low side for burning in a tube amp. The sound is so fine already.
Christopher Miller
I am now discovering all my CDs in a different way and I am surprised with many details which were not audible before. Thanks to Audio Note for this high quality product.
Rifat Gursel - France
The first music I played on my Kit1 was Narada's 'Yosemite'. I could not believe the clearness of all the instruments flowing out from the speakers and you can feel the vastness of Yosemite infront of you. Unlike the solid states, music from Kit1 is softer yet precise and accurate from high to low notes. I can't wait to upgrade my Kit1.
Chris Tsai
Trond Seland, Norway
Yes, the Black Gates warmed up quite nicely and now after a five minute kick start in the morning, my kit 1 becomes a maven of musical presentation. It's just fascinating.
Rick Justice, West Virginia U.S.A
The kit one is DEAD silent and the music flows out of it like nothing I have ever heard before. My humble Rega p3/Dynavector is a shining beacon of analog bliss.
Erik Anderson
It is no exaggeration to say that all the blood drained from my face ( a friend who was there can testify to this!) and I just could not believe what I was hearing before me. Here was an actual flesh and blood performance being recreated extemporaneously before my very 'eyes', and everything hifi had talked about and promised, but I guess I'd not till then known that they'd never delivered. Nothing short of a paradigm shift could explain the experience---in that one instant, I lost whatever trust I had had for mainstream scribes and dealers in one blow.
A happy kit one owner in Toronto, Canada

What are Stratford, Abbotsford and Tomorrow River doing right? At a time when many rural districts across the state are seeing steady and troubling declines in enrollment, these districts, along with Tomorrow River, have seen their student population increase by between 15 percent and 20 percent, News-Herald Media reported this week.
There is no one explanation, of course, but that rate of growth is worth paying attention to. It also creates some challenges, to be sure, but these - finding classroom space, hiring new staff - fall squarely under the "good problems to have" category.

Sometimes knowledge doesn't fit into categories. That's why SUNY Empire State College has a different approach to getting a college degree.
One of the unique features of studying at Empire State College is the opportunity to design a degree program based on your individual goals. You can design an undergraduate degree tailored to fit your educational interests without having to negotiate between rigid departments or structured majors. You can build a degree that's individualized, or you can take a more traditional approach. Whatever option you choose, your degree will meet SUNY's general education requirements.
The degree planning process all starts with an important course called Educational Planning. This is where you and your faculty mentor will work together to tailor a degree that fits your needs. During this course you'll consider your personal, professional and educational goals, assess your preparation for college, define what you've already learned and how to apply it to your degree, and select a sequence of studies that's academically sound and that will help you achieve your goals.
The college provides a flexible way to learn for adults who have many responsibilities. You can work face-to-face with a faculty mentor at one of the 35 New York state locations, take online courses and complete your degree totally online, participate in study groups, attend weekend residencies to explore topics in depth in a group setting or register at other accredited colleges for a more traditional college experience. Through a combination of onsite and online study, study groups and weekend residencies, students build credit toward their degree.
We welcome military and veteran students and have established the Office of Veteran and Military Education, a dedicated central point of services to help facilitate their transition to the college while fulfilling their responsibilities. The Office of Veteran and Military Education helps military and veteran students with tuition assistance resources, as well as the application and registration process.
As part of the State University of New York, Empire State College tuition rates and fees are among the lowest around. Many students are eligible for financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships, loans or employer tuition benefits, which makes a SUNY degree even more accessible.
For those interested in graduate studies, the college offers eight master's degree programs for students who work full time. These degree programs are in the following disciplines: business, management and leadership; education; liberal studies; and policy studies. Graduate students complete courses online and several degree programs require participation in regional, group meetings or attendance at occasional weekend residencies. The college also offers online graduate certificates in Human Resource Management, Health Care Management, Project Management, Nonprofit Management, Veterans Services, Public History, Global Brand Marketing, Financial Management and Analysis, and Public Sector Labor and Employment Policy.
To learn more about the college and our locations in Rochester, Batavia, Canandaigua, Alfred and Corning/Elmira, call 866-372-3182 or visit www.esc.edu.

BALD HILL, TEXAS (Angelina County). Bald Hill is on Farm Road 326 eight miles southeast of Lufkin in central Angelina County. The area was settled before 1900. By the 1930s the settlement had three churches, several stores, a school, and a number of houses. After World War II many residents left the area, but in the early 1990s Bald Hill had three churches, a community center, and a few scattered houses. In 2000 the population was 100.

Carter was presented with his award, crafted by Meredith Graf who also was in attendance to receive an award of her own.
ESC's Executive Director Leda Huta addressed the hundreds in attendance about the importance of Endangered Species Day and recognized the Honorable Senator Whitehouse and his staff for their work in crafting a Senate resolution making May 21st, 2010 Endangered Species Day.
Columbus Zoo Director Emeritus Jack Hanna spoke passionately about the need to engage younger generations in taking care of our environment and the critical role zoos and aquariums play in that.
Following Jack Hannah is no easy task, but the celebrity guest animals in attendance from the Maryland Zoo stole the show.
A few of the species on hand were the kit fox, Burmese python, flamingo, Iberian lynx, American Alligator, Prehensile-tailed skink and African Bullfrog.
Our great thanks to everyone who participated in the Endangered Species Day Art Contest, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums for allowing us to be part of their event and to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for partnering with us on the Endangered Species Day Art Contest.

Heck, I probably would have given them a western-saloon style spit-on, if they were actual physical entities. But...during a lazy, unproductive morning of facebook procrastination, I came across your blog. And let me tell you - my condescension towards blogs has been forever lifted. Should we call it a star of hope in the "Blog Hole"? (Shoddy joke..but as a former Astronaut Club member, I thought you might enjoy the reference, haha).
Anyways, thanks for sharing your uplifting stories of triumph, and also for showing your humility in times of trouble. I find them to be a very enjoyable read :)

What sort of "usefulness" did you have in mind? I mean, we are talking about entertainment here. If you don't like "sci fi", fine, but this question sounded unnecessarily disparaging to me. Though to be fair, real science fiction fans are often rather disparaging of "sci fi" as well. The good stuff is known as SF.

ROPE Generate coordinates of an ellipse enclosing data.
Watch this File
[LX,LY]=ROPE(X,Y,LEVEL) returns coordinates [LX,LY] of an ellipse enclosing LEVEL % of the coordinate pairs in column vectors X and Y.
The major axis of the ellipse is the straight line regression of Y on X. The centre of the ellipse is the mean of X and Y and the ratio of the major to minor axes is the ratio of the standard deviations of the data points' distances from the centre, projected onto the major and minor axes.
Very simple and nice. I just used an orhtognal regression instead of the normal least square regression.thanks!

Existing Legislation and Policies
15mph Speed Limit - Zero Tolerance for Speeding
ARS 28-797 defines school crossings in Arizona. It also directs public agencies to use yellow markings and special in-street signs for these locations, and that the signs must be physically removed when the speed zone is not in place. The law also defines the maximum length of a school crossing zone. Arizona's 15 mph zones are zero-tolerance zones. That means that you can get a citation if you are caught going even a few miles over 15 mph. Typically, enforcement is the most aggressive during the end of July through August, when school starts in most parts of the Valley of the Sun.
In 2007 legislation was passed that doubles fines within the 15 mph zones.
State Outreach Programs
The Arizona Safe Routes to School program offers regular one-day Safe Routes to School training sessions throughout the state. The comprehensive workshop includes the 5 Es, a walkability audit and information on Safe Routes to School grant funding. Arizona Safe Routes to School has held fourteen of these workshops since 2007. They also hold "How To Conduct A Neighborhood Walkabout" workshops.
The Planning Assistance Program (PAP) is offered to in-need communities. Selected applicants are awarded consultant support to assess sites, identify remedial measures, and to assist in writing the applicant's next Safe Routes to School grant application.
Webinars on a variety of Safe Routes to School-related topics are held on an as-needed basis.
All ADOT-sponsored Safe Routes to School training is free and open to the public. Participants at any of the sessions may claim three points on their next Safe Routes to School grant application.
To register for training sessions, visit ADOT's Safe Routes to School Program website. Go to the 'Training' tab for registration instructions. For additional information on the workshops and how to apply for funding, contact Brian Fellows at (602) 712-8010.
State Advisory Committee
Arizona has a state advisory committee.

Flagstaff, AZ: Reducing Crime
Flagstaff, AZ cleaned up a local park where children were being exposed to drug deals, gang activity and public drunkenness on their walks and rides to and from school. The health department received more than $100,000 in Safe Routes to School funding for encouragement and education projects in the classroom. The department also formed a walking school bus and set up a local police substation to help students feel safer when walking and bicycling to school. Parents and students report that they are now more comfortable on the walk and ride to and from school.
Springerville, AZ: Overcoming Barrier to Distance of School
To overcome the challenge of distance to school in a rural area, Round Valley Primary School in Springerville, AZ identified a "park and walk" route from Springerville Park to the school, using developed park trails, sidewalks and crosswalks. This route is available to families and students at all times, not just for designated walk events. A First Wednesday Walk program was developed and continued through 2009 school year. In 2010, they have doubled the number of walk events, holding two per month, with the support of local businesses, community groups and high school organizations.
Peoria, AZ: City and School Collaboration
The City of Peoria and the Peoria Unified School District (PUSD) have built on their long-standing collaborative relationship to develop a comprehensive Safe Routes to School program with the overall goal of improving the quality of life for everyone in the community.
Several years ago, the two entities formed a dedicated School Traffic Safety Committee to address bigger traffic safety concerns that could not be tackled by the City's Traffic Control Committee. Peoria's Safe Routes to School program currently involves three schools with dedicated Safe Routes to School coordinators and encouragement and education programs. The City of Peoria is also funding infrastructure improvements and providing additional police enforcement.

Writing is not all about making an impact. You are killing the language in the due course. There are better novels than five point someone and also have been critically acclaimed and also are commercially successful. Writing is not all about vocabulary, it can still impact if the language is simple but certainly not having lingoes. A perfect Hinglish novel can never be called a novel, it is just a script which relates to most of the college going kids. For instance, The Fountainhead talks about education has ruined lives just because it is measured in grades and percentages, but still Ayn Rand could sell the book for nearly 35-40 years after its first edition came out. Chetan Bhagat might consider himself a commercially successful novel or fiction writer but he lacks the integrity to hold the plot perfect in every case.The commercial success cannot be weighed to his intellectuality. He might be a good banker and knows how to go about a narration but certainly his novels won't last for more than a decade and I personally feel that he has lost the battle in the long run. I am happy that at least some people started reading books because of him but they would certainly not read him again once they start reading others. Literary work is never snobbish, its his works that I feel more snobbish than anything that is written till date.
For Indian Writers read R K Narayan, you will surely get to know what literary values mean to a story.
waitin 4 ur nxt book............
m keenly waiting for nxt novel ......surely do well like his other novels
i dont know wat the things are said for chetan sir's novel ..............but really i love it...
Chetan sir's novels always keeps me engaged.

Last novel 'Revolution 2020' is the best novel i had ever read.
I am eagerly waiting for the next novel and i am sure 'Snobbish' will also be a best seller.....:-)
I am a big fan of chetan sir and his novels because they are always the bestsellers.
I keenly waits for his novels and by the time it comes in market i quickly get it and read it in one day.
I really love the way of his writing ...he traces the surrounding of the book extremely well and forces the readers mind to get involved in it.
His novels keeps me engaged everytime i read them.
His last novel 'Revolution 2020' was just awesome but i felt very sad at the end of the novel when Gopal rejected Aarti. I would like to say to chetan sir that don't end novels in a sad tone, it just spoils the whole entertainment.........
I am keenly waiting for his next novel ' Snobbish' ...................
I am sure this will also be a bestseller as his all novels..:-)
chetan sr is my inspiration.i madly read his books.waiting for ur next novel............
each and every book of chetan has some message to society.i like the way he concerned for the society.good job continue the same
Chethan sir, I am the big fan of u,egarley waiting for u'r next sensation.
A die-hard fan of yours, Chetan Sir. Can't wait 4 your next(2014). Hope its a superhit as usual!
Hi, CHETAN JI i want to ask a thing that why u start any of your novel with tragic scene at hospital. Take five point smone, you started it with hospital scene, in three mistkes you also adopted this way, even in revolution 2020 you showed that gopal was lying on the bathroom floor nd then to hospital, etc. CAN'T U START UR NOVEL WITH ANOTHER INCIDENT.
in REVOLUTION 2020 u have mentioned the real name of (gopal,arati,raghav) then wt will happento their rest of life when raghav will read it.........
otherwise also u have not mentioned wt happened next after they know....
Chetan Sir I m big fan of urs, your stories influnce me so much,just waiting 4 ur next novel.
U r awesome Bhagat
wat a man?????????
which is your next novel....
Sir, i am dying to meet you. Are you coming on a tour to silchar,assam within a few days?
chetan sir, you have the best hand for writing love stories and it is proved because many of us in our hostel were unable to hold our imotion when we finished your revolution 2020. We are eagerly waiting for your next novel snobbish.hope you will put a marvellous ending...

Adam Maloof - Teaching
The benefits of including research experiences in the pedagogy of graduate and undergraduate education are diverse and lasting. Therefore, I treat all of my classes, even freshman seminar and core undergraduate geology courses, as research endeavors. I divide my courses into four overlapping skill sets that I hope to impart to students through experiential learning. First, students develop the ability to make keen observations of the natural world, and to translate observational data into salient questions about how Earth works. Second, students learn to distill these questions into a manageable group of hypotheses that can be tested with additional observations or analysis. Third, students apply quantitative computational methods to extract more information from their data. And fourth, students learn to communicate their discoveries with publication quality text and illustrations.
Faculty: Adam Maloof and Amanda Irwin Wilkins, Director of the Princeton Writing Program
In this course, students will use drone-derived photographs and elevation models of landscapes, georeferenced field observations of the natural world, and data mining of the primary literature in combination with quantitative modeling and interpretation to answer questions like: How have ancient climate changes been preserved in modern landscapes and the rock record? What is the difference between climate and weather? How is climate changing now, and how do we measure it? What impact does climate change have on modern human society, and how have humans affected climate change? How do we quantify the uncertainties on measurements of climate change, and how do we communicate these uncertainties to the public?
GEO/WRI 201 is designed to help students build on what they learn as freshmen in the Writing Seminars about the values held in common across disciplines—e.g., articulating a compelling question or problem, making an argument based on evidence and analysis, engaging responsibly with sources—and translate them into the context of more advanced and discipline-specific writing projects. In the classroom, on campus field excursions, and on the mandatory eight (8)-day Fall-Break research trip to the American Southwest, students will gain practical experience piloting drones, collecting paleoclimatological and climatological data, and analyzing these data using software and programming languages like ArcGIS and Matlab. Through weekly writing and oral presentation workshops, students will learn to communicate their original research effectively within the formal structure of journal-style scientific writing and the LaTeX typesetting language. Students will emerge from this class ready to tackle the demands of junior and senior independent work, including how to use the research and writing process recursively to hone their ideas. Enrollment in the course is by application only (email firstname.lastname@example.com with one paragraph explaining your interest in the class). Juniors also are welcome to apply.
- Writing Assignment 01: 15%
- Writing Assignment 02: 30%
- Writing Assignment 03: 20%
- Problem Sets: 15%
- Digital Field Notebook: 10%
- Citizenship: 10%
Also, there is a mandatory nine-day field trip (students cannot pass the course if they do not attend the trip) to New Mexico and Utah over fall break. There is an optional weekend trip to Pennsylvania October 3-5. [student course evaluations]
FRS 187 (Previously known as FRS 171; Fall '11, '12 & '13)
Professors: Adam C. Maloof and Frederik J. Simons
In this Freshman Seminar, you will combine eld observations of the natural world with mathematics,
physics, chemistry and computer science in order to answer questions like: Why are mountains
high? Why are some landscapes wetter, drier, smoother, or more jagged than others? How does
environmental change alter the course of civilization, and how do civilizations modify their environment?
In the classroom, through problem sets, and on campus excursions, you will gain practical
experience collecting geological and geophysical data in geographic context, and analyzing these. [student course evaluations]
FRS 145 (Fall '07, '08 & '09)
Professors: Adam C. Maloof and Frederik J. Simons
The surface of Earth today, an amalgamation of mountain ranges, basins, and the hydrosphere, records an integrated history of processes that act on a range of time scales spanning 17 orders of magnitude. The central question treated in this Freshman Seminar is: How does Earth's surface evolve in response to internal (e.g., tectonic and magmatic), surficial (e.g., weather, climate, and anthropogenic effects) and external (e.g., extraterrestrial) forcing? The seminar provides students with practical experience making geological and geophysical observations, and in particular, focuses on quantitative analysis of observables such as topography, gravity and weather. The classroom seminar is complimented by a mandatory week-long field trip to the Western United States. During this trip, students will develop research projects that involve geological and geophysical mapping of the interplay between recent volcanic explosion craters, changing climate, and anthropogenic demands on water resources in the Mono Lake region. All costs of the fall break trip are covered by the University. [student course evaluations]
GEO/CEE/ENV 370 & GEO 570 (Spring '07, '09, '10, '12 & '14)
Professor: Adam C. Maloof
This course presents a treatment of the physical processes that shape Earth's surface, such as solar radiation, deformation of the solid Earth, and the flow of water (vapor, liquid, and solid) under the influence of gravity. In particular, the generation, transport, and preservation of sediment are studied as diagnostic tools to link processes with the geologic records of Earth history and modern environmental change [Taught: SPRING 2012, T Th 1:30-2:50 pm, Guyot Hall 155]. [student course evaluations]
GEO/CEE 373 (Spring '11 & '13)
Professors: Adam C. Maloof and B. Schoene
An introduction to the physics and geometry of brittle and ductile deformation in Earth's crust. We consider deformation at scales from atomic to continental, in the context of mountain building, rifting, and the origin of topography. Weekend Field Trips: Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York. [student course evaluations]
Professor: Adam C. Maloof and Michael Bender
This seminar examines the history of global change on Earth. Topics include the relationship between paleogeography, sea level and climate, the character and geometry of Earth's ancient magnetic field, the evolution of Earth's spin vector, the interpretation of global sea level variability, the deconvolution of periodic and stochastic forcing in sedimentary records, and the large-scale events and processes that affected global change and the evolution of life.

I was supposed to put up a brief excerpt today, but I wanted to do something fun for Halloween/Samhain. This is a piece of flash fiction that originally was posted on the witchychicks site. It's a story I'll be exploring again soon. It's my treat to you today!
Happy Halloween/Samhain
-Candace Havens
The Psychiatrist
I'm Dr. Aeryn McCready and I treat crazy people. Correction. I treat mentally unstable supernatural beings. There is nothing human about them. Vampires, shape shifters, ghosts, witches, I take care of them all in my little house of horrors.
Okay, technically it's a small white-framed house with a picket fence on Mulberry Street where I have my office. My patients ranged from narcissistic vamps and shape shifters with impulse control problems, to ghosts with identity issues and don't even get me started on the zombies. The list is too long. The dry skin and lack of relationship skills is the least of their problems.
It's my job to make them feel better about themselves.
Some days it didn't pay to be me.
That isn't true. Some days it's the pay that keeps me from jumping off the top of the roof of my office. Well, that and the fact that it's only a one-story building. I sat and listened to their problems, and they give me $1500 an hour. The job keeps me in four-inch Christian Louboutans so I don't complain – much. The hours were sometimes long, like today. I'd seen nine patients and I was exhausted. (You just did the math and figured out that was $13,500 for one day's work. Believe me when I tell you I earn every cent.)
I'd skipped dinner and my stomach was letting me know by making very un-lady like gurgling sounds. So when the door opened and Daniel Craig stepped in, I was slightly off kilter and not quite myself. I looked down at my schedule. Nope, Daniel Craig wasn't listed.
He held out his hand as he approached my desk. "Dr. McCready?"
I nodded because my mouth wasn't working yet.
"I'm Campbell Casen." When he touched my hand, heat scorched through my body and my nether regions melted. Whoa, libido down girl. This is a patient.
"It's nice to meet you Mr. Casen." I was proud that I sounded so professional since my traitorous body wanted to press itself against him and do nasty things. I gave him a smile and motioned to the two leather club chairs in the middle of the office. "Please let's have a seat. Tell me why you're here tonight."
I never bothered with small talk. I've found it makes patients uncomfortable. Most of the time they were anxious to get to the heart of the problem and I obliged.
His hands gripped the arms of the chair and I sensed tension. Perhaps this one did need some coddling.
"There's no reason to be nervous with me. Take your time."
He waved a hand. "It's not that. I'm here more for you than me."
Great. A crazy hottie. Weren't they all? "Excuse me?"
Sighing he leaned forward with his elbows on his knees. "I'm butchering," he winced at the word, "this. Are you by chance psychic?"
The question wasn't as strange as it might seem. Most of us in psychiatric care had some ability. It was a necessity when dealing with supernaturals. They couldn't always communicate on a human level and needed other ways to express themselves. "I can receive but I can't read. Why?"
"I think it will be easier for me to show you what's going on, rather than telling. But I'm warning you upfront. What you are about to see is beyond disturbing."
I quite honestly have seen it all. Lycanthropes were big fans of show don't tell and I'd witnessed more than one animalistic orgy. Then there were the vampires who accidentally ripped out jugulars and zombies with eyeballs falling into their laps. And that was just what happened today.
"I'm a professional, Mr. Casen. I'm ready when you are." I gave him a look of encouragement. Strange, but I couldn't tell what kind of creature he was. Usually I get some sense, but he felt human to me.
He took a deep breath and blew it out. "I have to touch you in order to send the thoughts."
I moved to the sofa, which was nearer his chair and held out my hand. At first all I saw was darkness and then – me. I wore my favorite sapphire Marc Jacobs swing dress, and the earrings my mom gave me for Christmas last year. I was smiling and looked genuinely happy. The image was as if someone had put a soft focus lens on a camera. It made my skin look dewy and perfect, which I assure you is not the case.
Then the image shifted and I was in my bedroom wearing my lavender La Perla bra and panties. I had an enticing smile on my face and I crooked my finger urging my partner to the bed.
A flash of light and then I saw myself on the bed. My chest and stomach split open leaving a very good view of my heart. The bra and panties were gone, and there was blood everywhere. Then there was darkness again.
I realized I'd closed my eyes and opened them to see a worried Mr. Casen. He pushed the hand I'd been holding through his hair. "I'm sorry. I really am, but I didn't know what else to do. I've never had anything like this happen before. I don't even know how I knew what number to call but I did."
I moved back behind my desk and opened the drawer. "No, I'm glad you did. You're right it is disturbing to see oneself murdered, but perhaps now we can get down to business."
I sighed. My past had caught up with me. I wasn't sure how that evil nerd Damian had found me, but he was using poor Mr. Casen as a tool, and I couldn't have that.
"Mr. Casen," I reached into the drawer. "I'm truly sorry about this." Then I shot him. Right through the frontal lobe. "You are pawn in a dangerous man's game, and this simply could not be helped." I continued to explain just in case his spirit lingered. "Trust me when I tell you this is the best thing for both of us."
I set about disposing of the body and even managed to get a restful night's sleep. I'd long ago decided to stop running. If Damian wanted another fight, I'd give it to him. No matter how many minions he sent to do me in.
The next day everything seemed back to normal until my four o'clock appointment time arrived and Mr. Casen walked through the door with a murderous look on his face.
