Last November, my younger child, my son, celebrated his 20th birthday on the rooftop of the bar and restaurant where he worked in Siem Reap, Cambodia. At which point I became, officially, a mother of grown children—not just because he turned 20 but also because it happened halfway around the world, on a trip he dreamed up and executed entirely on his own.
There is a lot to love about having grown children. Near the top of my own list is that since neither of mine is pregnant, it will be many years before I have to watch a Disney movie again. (Yes, I hear that Up was quite good, but as far as I'm concerned, Disney peaked with Pinocchio. If you get a chance, check out the hand-painted backgrounds of Geppetto's workshop.)
And speaking of movies, it turns out that now, in their twenties, my son and daughter have developed impeccable taste. They are my trusty scouts in the world of popular culture, and this includes music, books and YouTube videos as well. (Have you seen the baby tearing the paper in half and falling over with laughter?) My husband and I live in rural Vermont, but thanks to our kids and the Internet, we have the best of both worlds, snow-covered stretches of open meadow and hot tips for iTunes downloads.
Then there are all the things I no longer have to endure: bake sales, sick days, head lice, sleepovers, Halloween, pasta with meat sauce (three times a week), wildly unpleasant 7 am arguments about the nutritional function of breakfast, pretending to read until 1 am while listening for footsteps on the front porch, driving them everywhere, them driving themselves everywhere, phone calls after midnight, SAT prep. I could go on.
But at the very top of the list, the thing I love most about having grown children is that they are so clearly becoming who they are and I am finally able to stand back and watch that happen. For years I imagined it was my job to mold these little lumps of clay into people who could arrive at their college interviews without food on their clothes. Now that the mission has been accomplished, I can see that my children are, to a large degree, who they have always been, those small three-dimensional people I was just too busy, and too worried, to fully comprehend.
When I was pregnant with my son, I went for a sonogram. After a few minutes of chasing him around the womb with the ice-cold magic wand, the tech said, "Is he always like this?"
"Like what?" I asked.
"I can't get a picture of him because he won't stop moving."
He crawled when he was five months old, and I spent hours racing after him. Once he started walking, he headed off into the neighbors' yards, often shedding his clothes as he went. Following the trail of miniature shorts and socks, I would find him naked, chatting (in his 18-month-old vernacular—What that? What that? What that?) with our lovely older neighbor, a grandmother many times over, a woman unperturbed by his penchant for peeing in her tulip bed.
His unrelenting restlessness got him into small scrapes and great adventures and caused his parents years of sleepless nights. I worried that he couldn't sit still, wouldn't listen, didn't pay attention. I became convinced he would never finish his college applications on time or be able to sit through the grueling exams required these days. But he completed them all and sailed off to college, happy to be on the move. And he has remained on the move ever since.
That is the same young man who celebrated his 20th birthday in Cambodia. He arrived home five days before Christmas, full of tales from his travels and reflections on expatriate communities, Hemingway and the astonishing kindness of the Khmer people, which I would never have known about if he hadn't told me and which, given their history, seems like a miracle.

Cleaning the windows registry on a regular basis.
Defragmenting filesystems regularly. I know people who spend more time watching the progress of the NTFS defragmenter than they do anything else.
Especially when people keep forcing it to re-run to try coalesce the free-space, when doing so just means files immediately gain a fragment as soon as they next extend.
The only filesystems that really need defragmenting under normal circumstances are FAT16/FAT32. ext2/3, NTFS, and most modern filesystems usually only see serious fragmentation (to the point where the performance hit is measurable) after years of active use or when they get close to full.

A perfect example of this would be the advice to run Nightly anti-virus scans of all files. While I think that scanning all the files periodically is useful (I do it once a week). I also feel that doing a virus scan too frequently on "all files" is detrimental.
Virus scanners check all the files which are accessed. So once you have scanned the entire contents of your hard disk once, theoretically under these conditions, you should never touch another file on your system without the AV software also inspecting it first. So during this "static" state it is unnecessary to keep scanning everything. The system must touch/open/access/copy a file for a virus to end up on your disk. So that being said...
Continuing to scan exhaustively will only result in wearing out your drive before its time.
Using programs to "clean" your RAM after using an expensive program (or game).
Most of times these things are clearing the most possible.... So that all programs opened have to reload in memory when you will use them after, making all even slower.

Want a Good Deal on a House? Check the Crime Blotter
Looking for a killer deal in residential real-estate? Try looking for living quarters visited by death.
It's conventional wisdom that prospective buyers need to take a close look at the history of a house before making a purchase.
For example, homes that once housed methamphetamine laboratories may remain contaminated by toxic chemicals.
But in an online slideshow this week, Newsweek's Nick Summers takes a look at a different sort of tainted history: houses where famous murders have occurred.
From Clutter Farm in Holcomb, Kansas of In Cold Blood fame to the Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. mansion where members of the Heaven's Gate cult were found dead in a 1997 mass suicide, Mr. Summers collects eight infamous homes.
The takeaway? Not surprisingly, these houses tend to belie the notion that there's no such thing as bad publicity.
It's often necessary for prices to be slashed to sell a home with a haunted past. For example, the six-bedroom Amityville Horror house sold for just $55,000 in the early years after Ronald DeFeo Jr. shot six family members in their sleep there in 1974, though by 1997 it went for more than $300,000.
Memories fade with time. The Boulder, Colo. house where JonBenet Ramsey was killed in 1996 last sold for about $2.3 million, three and a half times what Ms. Ramsey's parents got shortly after the murder.
If owners don't have time, there's always the tear-down option. After being unable to sell the house where the Manson Family murdered actress Sharon Tate in 1969, the owner eventually razed it—and collected a cool $6 million for the lot.
The eight houses Mr. Summers highlights represent the most extreme cases. What about less notable houses with deaths or reputed ghosts?
David Carter, branch manager of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Palm Springs, Calif., says his company makes a point of disclosing any violent death in writing–state laws require disclosure of any death within the previous three years.
"We make it a habit to disclose," Mr. Carter says. "What we have learned is that if our agents don't make that disclosure, the neighbors certainly will."
Nonetheless, buyers don't usually walk away when presented with such information, he says. "I've yet to have it kill a sale–no pun intended."

Jewellery Adjustments We want every piece to be a perfect fit for your body, so if you require any adjustments to your chosen new item, such as a longer chain, or an altered ring size, then please contact us at one of our stores. Many adjustments can be carried out for you in a relatively short space of time. More complex adjustments or repairs may need to be returned to individual jewellery designers and this may take a little longer. Unfortunately, due to the unique nature of our collections we cannot guarantee that all items can be adjusted, but we will endeavour to help you in any way that we can.
Ring Size Chart Most of our jewellery designers offer a standard size for their rings, a UK size M which is equivalent to an US size 6. We offer a resizing service free of charge* for the purchase of rings by our fine jewellery designers. We cannot, however, offer ring resizing on costume pieces and some fashion design rings. To measure your finger for a ring size, take a piece of string and wrap it around the base of the finger. Use a pen to mark the point where the string overlaps, then measure the distance between these two points in millimetres to give you the circumference measurement of your finger. Finally, use our ring size conversion chart to calculate your correct ring size according to several different systems. Any good jeweller should also be able to measure your ring size for you.

I am on machine A, i can access machine B by ssh and from machine B to C via ssh. But i cannot access machine C directly from A.
The problem is that i have to transfer a folder of size 5 GB to my local machine A from C. I can do this by first transferring them to B and then transferring to A from B. But B has limited disk space. I have a user account on B and C, no root account. But i can do my stuff with the user accounts.
Now please tell me how can i get that folder from C to A? I heard about ssh tunneling here , but it is not clear to me. What should I do?

When it comes down to it, international intelligence agencies aren't that different from organized criminal organizations. Underhanded and morally questionable activities? It's all in a day's work and all necessary if you want to save your family — or your country.
In "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," the most recent adaptation of John le Carré's 1974 novel, all Hollywood notions of British espionage are gone. Set during the Cold War, there are no car chases, no fancy gadgets and no intricate shootouts. In Le Carre's world, major developments are made in tiny little rooms.
Le Carré — a former British spy whose work focuses on British intelligence — writes novels notoriously difficult to adapt, between their intricate plotlines and political intrigue. "Tinker Tailor" was previously adapted into a miniseries in 1979 and clocked in at nearly five hours. And watching this recent film, the reason becomes clear why — some of the characters feel underdeveloped and key relationships tend to round out the plot, though they do not necessarily invest the audience in the characters' fates.
That said, the film moves briskly and efficiently. Director Tomas Alfredson, in his first English-language film, coaxes brave work from all his actors, particularly Gary Oldman. As newly-reinstated spy George Smiley, Oldman's superb restraint clashes with traditional notions of acting. Everything he does has a purpose, suggesting his inner turmoil and haunted past. He is precise, smart and observant. He waits. He is a man you want on your side.
Within the confines of this dirty system of deceit and one-upmanship, Smiley is tasked with finding a Russian informant who works at the very top of MI6 (the secret intelligence service colloquially referred to as "The Circus"). Smiley knows them well because he was second-in-command to Control before a botched job years ago in Hungary went wrong. Now, hired by the Civil Service, Smiley investigates a recently commissioned MI6 project called "Witchcraft," which he believes hides the identity of the mole.
Throughout the film, Alfredson builds suspense without any choreographed fight scenes or gunfights. Gunshots in the film are few, and when they happen, they are genuinely shocking. However, directorial mastery cannot make up for the messy script. And while the screenplay by Bridget O'Connor and Peter Straughan doesn't fall into this category, it will test even the most attentive of viewers with its references to characters who flit in and out of the story. Watch and listen closely and you will be rewarded.

"When do I get to vote on YOUR marriage?"
That's the question posed on a rainbow-bedecked T-shirt worn by one older, presumably gay, white man, captured in a group photo by Michael Lang. And "Good Question" – as Lang's caption reads – is just one of 40 pieces of politically inspired artwork now on display at Touchstone Gallery.
"We wanted to do something special for this month, because of the Inauguration and because all eyes will be on Washington, D.C.," says the gallery's director Ksenia Grishkova. "Politics as UN-usual is not strictly a political show, it's just [Touchstone] artists who came up with ways to express their opinions and their feelings about certain issues that are on everybody's mind right now."
I Want Your Money
(Photo by By Anthony Dortch)
The gallery, one of the oldest in D.C., generally has three exhibits going at once, and this month also features two solo exhibits with works by Harmon Biddle and Judith Lavender.
But it's the group political show that's generating the most buzz. Naturally, some pieces are more pointed and provocative than others, such as Anthony Dortch's "I Want Your Money," depicting an image of a masked Uncle Sam pointing at the viewer. Then there's Janathel Shaw's sculpture "Salt N Pepper N-Shaker," located in the gallery's center. Says Grishkova, "People are usually kind of drawn to it right away, they want to see what it's all about." Turns out, it's a lawn jockey salt-and-pepper shaker set – lawn jockeys being the grossly stereotypical and offensive sculptures that were once common in the South. Shaw was provoked by the late Sen. Jesse Helms, who opposed the National Museum of African American History and Culture. "Once Congress gives the go ahead for African Americans," Helms bellowed, "How can Congress then say no to Hispanics, and the next group, and the next group after that?"
"Politics as UN-usual" runs through Jan. 27. Touchstone Gallery, 901 New York Ave. NW Call 202-347-2787 or visit touchstonegallery.com.

"We have a responsibility to help these people," Cliff Bellar said. He was speaking about the elderly of Medina County who are too sick or frail to keep their homes safe and comfortable.
Bellar is backing up his words with action by founding a Medina County chapter of Rebuilding Together, a national organization that helps homeowners in need.
Founded 25 years ago in Texas, Rebuilding Together boasts 200 chapters — the nearest are in Summit and Stark counties — and more than 3 million volunteers who have worked on more than 100,000 homes across the nation.
With more than 38 years of experience as a commercial real estate broker, Bellar, 69, of Medina, is especially qualified to bring Rebuilding Together to Medina County.
"As a national organization, they're incredibly organized," Bellar said. "We've been able to set up this whole project in a matter of months where normally it can take the better part of a year."
This Saturday, the organization will begin work on its first project — Annabelle Thompson's home on Fixler Road in Sharon Township.
Bellar said he expects more than two dozen volunteers to pitch in.
"We'll be adding grab bars. There's a tub that doesn't drain right, a sink that's been leaking," he said. "There's all kinds of little things that need work."
Bellar said those "little things" aren't so little when you're at an age where just getting around is becoming increasingly difficult.
"Just having someone do something like screw in a handrail is huge for some people," he said.
Thompson, 78, is grateful for the offer of assistance.
"It sounds like a wonderful project that they're doing," she said. "I think we need something like that here."
The Fixler address has been her home since 1965. She and her husband, a carpenter, bought the two-story frame house and quickly built an addition. The couple has two grown children, a boy and a girl, who live in Colorado and Illinois.
Following her husband's death in 1999, she's had help from her family around the house, but the work has gotten to be too much.
Thompson said she sought help from the nonprofit Community Action Medina/Wayne agency.
"They said I qualified, but there was no grant money available," she said.
Community Action linked Thompson with Bellar, who was looking for an initial project for Rebuilding Together.
Thompson's house is just the first step in a larger plan.
Bellar wants to see Rebuilding Together working on another house by late summer.
"I'd like to plan for five houses next year but it really depends on fundraising," he said.
For more information, call Bellar at (330) 472-1997.

One of my most favorite pieces of social media, search and the web is how it can dramatically level the playing field among businesses. Now average consumers can much more easily find, interact with and shop from businesses both large AND small, opening the commerce door for the "mom & pop" shops out there.
Allyson from Daisy & Elm is one such small business. She makes incredibly fashionable, incredibly affordable jewelry pieces, and has some of the most amazing customer service and attention to detail I've ever seen. The two pieces below I ordered for myself, and she asked me every question she could (and that never crossed my mind) about the length, bead type, number of beads, how I wanted my 3 chain necklace to come together as one – EVERYTHING.
This is the Sweet Leaf necklace.
This is the Vintage Hot Mess.
And then Kristin surprised me by covertly ordering this custom piece just for me, inspired by the infamous BOSS video.
A custom piece from Daisy and Elm is also one of the prizes in the 2012 I Was a Senior Hottie: Then & Now linkup!
This write-up is completely of my own doing because I just love everything about Allyson's spirit, creativity and commitment to customer service.

Orthodoxy and Islam
By jsolof on Aug 10, 2005
This isn't a full book review of Archbishop Anastasios (Yannoulatos) of Albania's book Facing the World, which was a kind gift from the translator, the Monk Pavlos Gottfried, but simply (and quickly!) a passage from one of the chapters I especially enjoyed, on the Orthodox dialogue with Islam:
Throughout the theology of the eastern Church we encounter the certainty that the Holy Spirit works in ways that transcend human thought and imagination, ways that cannot, as a consequence, be contained within any theological paradigm, description, or speculation. Everything that is noble and truly good is an act of the Holy Spirit, and the fruits of the Spirit are the preeminent building blocks for harmonious coexistence: "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control" (Gal 5:22). This assurance from the apostle Paul leads us to the conclusion that wherever these fruits are found, evidence of the activity of the Holy Spirit can be discerned. Moreover, there appears to be a great deal of such evidence in the lives of many Muslims.
In the end, our relationships and the dialogue we have with every human being are defined by our obligation to love in a way that includes everything and everyone, for this is the central core of Christianity: "God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him" (1 Jn 4:16). People who belong to another creed never lose their basic identity, their spiritual citizenship, so to speak. Even if they themselves choose to ignore it, they do not cease to be children of God, created in God's image, and consequently our brothers and sisters.
pp. 125-126
Amen, Amen. Eis polla, eti Despota!!

For independent students, owning property by itself does not allow students to receive in-state tuition, as the other requirements still must be met. For parents of dependent students, South Carolina must be the primary state of residence. Simply owning property is not sufficient. Property taxes go into the local county/city treasuries; Clemson is supported in part by taxes paid to the state.
No. Loans and gifts are considered money coming from elsewhere and don't count toward financial independence. Financial support must come from the sources listed in the law/regulations.
No. PLUS loans are applied for and awarded to the parents.
No, nothing is automatic about residency. You must meet all of the requirements, submit a residency application and be approved before you become eligible.
Not unless the relatives have been made your legal guardian through the court, before age eighteen. The law states that if it appears that steps have been taken just to obtain resident tuition, the application will not be approved.
You still must meet the other requirements. For admission, other factors are important, such as the source of transcripts and addresses of parents.
Even though prepayment plans are in students' names, the parents contributed the funds and received the tax benefits. Therefore, they are considered funds from the parents.
No, since it is not possible to document the source of the funds. Support must come from the sources listed in the law/regulations.
If the parents provided more than half of the student's support for the past 12 months, the student is still considered dependent and it is the parents that must meet the residency requirements. If the student provided the majority of support, then the student may be eligible to apply as independent.
You must provide at least 51 percent of your total support. Total support must also be greater than total expenses.
You received the Non-Resident Scholarship and/or Non-Resident Grant due to your status as an out-of-state student to cover the cost of the out-of-state tuition expenses. Once you have been granted in-state residency, you are no longer eligible for the Non-Resident Scholarship or the Non-Resident Grant because you are now paying in-state tuition rates.

I am not sure that this is a proper question. I am looking for the verification of the proof rather than for an answer.
There is one inequality I use pretty often and I would like to be sure that it is correct. Namely, if $X_n$ is a non-negative supermartingale then $$ \mathsf P\left\{\sup\limits_n X_n\geq \delta\right\}\leq\frac 1 \delta\mathsf EX_0.\quad(1) $$
First I derived it from the version of Doob's inequality presented in the book "Optimal Stopping and Free-Boundary Problems" by Peskir and Shiryaev (2006). On the other hand here Doob's inequality in probability you can see a counterexample for the inequality stated in the book. Also it that topic mpiktas find a reference to the earlier book by Shiryaev with a weaker inequality, which I believe is correct.
Anyway, I have a proof of (1) and would like you to help me verify if it is strict or not.
Let $Y$ be a process with non-negative values. Then for all $N\in \mathbb{N}$ and $\delta>0$ holds $$ \mathsf P\left\{\sup\limits_{n\leq N} Y_n\geq \delta\right\}\leq\frac 1 \delta\sup\limits_{\tau\leq N}\,\,\,\mathsf EY_\tau\quad (2) $$ where $\tau$ is a stopping time with respect to the natural filtration of $Y$.
Proof: Take $\tau^*=\inf\{ n\geq 0:Y_n\geq\delta\}$ and $\tau = \tau^*\wedge N$. Now $\tau\leq N$ a.s. and $\tau$ is a stopping time with respect to the natural filtration of $Y$. Denote $$p = \mathsf P\left\{\sup\limits_{n\leq N} Y_n\geq \delta\right\},$$ so now $\mathsf{P}\{\tau = \tau^*\} = p$.
We have $$ \mathsf EY_\tau \geq \delta p $$ since $Y$ is a non-negative process, which leads to the inequality (2). End of the proof.
We can obtain (1) from (2) since $\sup\limits_{\tau\leq N} \,\,\,\mathsf EX_\tau = \mathsf E X_0$ if $X$ is a supermartingale. Taking $N\to\infty$ we obtain (1).

Seattle Sounders FC (9-3-2, 29) will look to continue their dominance over the Chicago Fire (2-3-8, 14) Saturday Night (5:30pm PT) at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, ILL
MLS top team in points (29) and goals scored (29) is coming off an impressive 4-0 home win over Real Salt Lake and looks to continue its winning ways as it hits the road against a familiar opponent.
Sounders FC is unbeaten (5-0-3) in eight MLS meetings with the Fire including the last two games. The last time Chicago picked up a point against the Sounders FC was a 0-0 draw on June 4th 2011.
"The history is there but most of those players weren't there, they are a tough team to break down because they play in blocks of fours," Sounders Coach Sigi Schmid said of the Chicago Fire.
The Fire offense is led by Quincy Amarikwa's five goals and rookie sensation Harry Shipp four assists. Shipp is a crafty midfielder with good vision and an eye for the goal.
The Fire will be playing at home Saturday night after two consecutive road draws. The Fire are coming off their first clean sheet of the season in there scoreless draw against the Colorado Rapids.
"I think it is very important for us to get a shutout, especially in a tough game on the road in a tough stretch with three games, said Fire goal keeper Sean Johnson.
After the 4 goal explosion against Real Salt Lake, Sounders FC are looking to improve their defense to complement the high octane offense that is firing on all cylinders.
"That was one of the things we've been working on-defensively playing a little bit better.
Once it was 3-0 they had a few chances at that point, but we also had some chances to score some more," said Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid.
"I was pleased with the team's effort and pleased with the commitment to the game."
The meeting between the Sounders FC and the Chicago Fire will be a reunion of sorts for players on both sides of the touchline.
Fire defenders Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and Patrick Ianni joined the Fire in a trade on Jan. 15, 2014 in exchange for Sounders FC defender Jalil Anibaba.
Hurtado signed with the Sounders in 2009 and made 108 regular season appearances for the
Sounders in five seasons. Ianni also spent five seasons with the Sounders, scoring three goals in 83 appearances, including the 2012 MLS Goal of the Year.
Three current Sounders got their MLS starts with the Fire. Chad Barrett was selected third overall in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft by the Fire, scoring 18 goals in 82 regular season appearances before he was traded to Toronto FC in 2008.
Midfielder Marco Pappa joined the Fire on loan from Guatemalan side C.S.D. Municipal in 2008 and officially signed with the Fire after a two-year loan. Pappa made 112 appearances and scored 26 goals before he departed for Dutch side Heerenveen in August 2012.
"I'm really happy to be here. We're in a good spot and we have a good team," Pappa said. "Chicago is a big part of my career for sure, but business is business. I put on my Sounders jersey. This is my team now. I'm a professional player and I'm going to do my best over there. It's going to be nice to see some people, but the first thing we are thinking about is the game."
Game Notes:
- Seattle has amassed two more wins (9) than any other MLS side and is the only team to average over two points per game (2.07).
- Obafemi Martins leads the league with six assist and added his sixth goal of the season in the win against Real Salt Lake
- Fire forward and last year's MLS player of the year has played just eight games this season due to a calf strain.

Last night's season finale episode of "Amish Mafia," titled "End of Days" saw Lebanon Levi heed the warning of his attorney, Steven Breit by cutting ties with Discovery Channel by putting an end to the filming of the show. Before the declaration was made, the episode was dedicated to putting an end to the English people who corrupt the Amish.
As this episode begins, scenes from the season finale are shown, as the narrator tells about Lebanon Levi cutting ties with English media. When they started filming the show, they had doubts that such a thing as an "Amish Mafia" could exist. As they taped each episode, a very real and dark world revealed itself. The producers stepped into a sub-culture filled with backstabbing, family feuds and violence and Amish Aid; the source of protection for the Amish is being challenged from within.
On this episode, secrets will be revealed, loyalties will be questioned, old wounds will be opened, new scandals will be revealed in never before seen footage, and questions will be answered. The most dangerous Amish man in North America is on the loose, and nobody knows it. Viewers will learn what happened behind the scenes between cast and crew, as the main characters refuse to speak on camera any longer.
As the program began, many questioned the authenticity of the existence of an Amish Mafia. The Amish in America had been here almost 300 years, but have not felt accepted. Their strange dress, German tongue and traditions have even seen them persecuted in the earlier twentieth century. Alan Beiler, whose name appears in the book Descendants of Christian Fisher, knows about the divide between the Amish and English worlds all too well.
As Alan relates, during the World Wars, when Americans were called upon to serve, the Amish refused because of their religious beliefs, and many called traitors by their English neighbors. The Amish called upon each other for help, never the English world. So began the Amish Aid in Lancaster, offering much help to those in need, that it spread to other Amish communities. The first person in charge of Amish Aid was Esther's father, who collected the funds from each family in the community; it was simple and worked for many years. As one Amish woman recalls, he seemed to work 24/7 and died at too young an age. Because his sons were much too young when he died, the Stoltzfus family took over. Alan knows that when money was collected, one of that family had their hands on the money, and they changed the way Amish Aid was run, and much of the community objected to how it was run. When it was time, he trained his son Levi to run Amish Aid. Levi was going to take care of his people; but only on his terms, by taking care of himself first. In a revealing declaration by Levi, as he spoke to Esther, he told her that he did not take her father's place in the business, so he has no respect for him.
Levi's first recruit was Alvin, his schoolmate. Alvin always admired Levi, and nicknamed their group "Trouble Makers" using the German vernacular. They got in a lot of trouble, especially during rumspringa. Jolin was Levi's real muscle, who loved guns and was extremely good with his fists. As a Mennonite, he had no qualms about doing what Levi asked of him. One of the camera operators related that he asked to see the video at the end of the day, just to see if he looked cool enough. Levi's insecurities are related, and he was afraid that Amish Aid would be taken away from him one day and returned to the Schmucker boys. By having them work for him; he could avoid that ever happening, as he loves the money and power that come with the job.
His group has had trouble with the law, and veer away from the stereotype of the peaceful Amish. In more unseen footage, Esther came to Levi because her sister was married to an English guy who refused to pay child support. She traveled with Jolin to his residence, and Jolin told him she needed money. When he mentioned Lebanon Levi, the man came back out with $1,000 to give her.
Paul Castline has made Amish crime his top priority since 2009, and it seems that all members of Levi's crew are familiar with him. As the naysayers doubt the authenticity of such a group, producers believe that the isolation of the group has masked something that has been going on for a long time. In 1993, Ed Gingrich a paranoid schizophrenic, kicked his wife to death while his three and four-year-old children watched, while his five-year-old ran for help. He gutted his wife's body like a deer carcass and removed her internal organs with a kitchen knife, but was only sentenced to a prison psychiatric ward for two and a half years. Other's have stolen millions of dollars in Ponzi schemes, numerous barn burnings, and ran meth labs.
Many of the Amish crew; including John, Esther, Alvin, Caleb and Levi himself have long rap sheets. The producers were shocked when Alan Beiler was arrested just days into filming the second season of the show. The criminals are not just limited to Lancaster County, as Merlin Miller was caught up in a federal sting called "Fall Harvest." He was convicted of possession of drugs with intent to sell in 2009. For the first time, Merlin spoke of his incarceration. He said it was one of the hardest things he ever experienced, and as the only Amish guy in there, and at the end of the day, with several ethnicities inside, he had to outfox the fox. He swore he would never go back to jail, but producers spotted him with Ruck and Andrew plotting something with Amish dolls, but the producers were not able to confirm what the substance in the dolls was. Merlin's problems with his old crew member, Wayne has cost him Amish Aid and now Wayne's standing is in question because of his love for English girl Karrie. The producers expect a power struggle in Holmes County, Ohio for the position and pointed out several corrupt Amish kingpins who will likely be vying for the job.
The producers found out the identity of the stalker who had been following the crew throughout the season; his name is Sean Hall, a private investigator with a specialty in the Amish community. He was hired by the Amish Aid leaders to investigate Levi for suspicious corrupt activity and to keep an eye on the film crew as well. He stated that he only let them see him when he wanted them to see him, otherwise, they had no idea. The leaders decided to meet more often, and when they had a secret meeting in Ohio, the film crew found out about it. These leaders are very upset at the way Levi is conducting his business and that the crew is committing sins more sacrilegious than ever imagined.
When the producers asked Alan how the Amish replaced people, he replied that they disappear. When questioned further, Alan admitted there are a lot of farm accidents, and whatever happens, they do not go to the police. Alan stated that the Amish do not believe in autopsies as a violation of their religious belief that the body is a temple of the Lord. Alan recalls seeing someone showing up at a funeral home with the body of a headless man, stating he died in his sleep.

Tiberius, Richard G. PhD
Dr. Tiberius is professor and director, Educational Development Office, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, Florida.
I enjoyed having the opportunity to write about the impact of my art on my academic work in the January 2010 issue of Academic Medicine. I'm delighted with this second invitation to share my thoughts because it gives me the opportunity to make an important addition to the list of lessons that I have learned from oil painting. Painting has taught me how to overcome discouragement.
Whenever I dare to judge my work while I am still immersed in the process of painting, I feel discouraged. In contrast, Joyce (my spouse) is apparently able to see the potential in an unfinished piece. On the way past the door of my studio she often exclaims "It's going to be beautiful!" while I still cannot see more than blobs of paint. Since I paint with a palette knife, at arm's length my painting is, in fact, no more than a mosaic of irregular colored flecks.
Now, here's the interesting part. Often, just a day or so after the discouragement sets in, I also begin to see the scene emerging from the spots. One morning, when I expressed surprise and delight on seeing the painting, Joyce asked me if I had worked on it during the night. "No," I answered with a laugh, embarrassed by the dramatic change in my perspective, "The good fairies fixed it up while I was sleeping." Now, when I get discouraged, I take a break and "leave it to the fairies."
My colleagues are the "good fairies" for my academic papers. Since every sentence that I write is the result of a decision process that includes the elimination of competing sentences, the unchosen sentences still linger in my mind. I see a mosaic of sentences while my colleague, who sees only what is written, can see the flow of ideas. How brilliant my colleagues appear in their ability to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of my papers.
A similar situation arises in reviewing student evaluations of one's teaching. As a medical educator I frequently serve as the "good fairy" to teachers who become dispirited after scanning student comments. They inevitably focus on the two or three angry or inappropriate comments. Using qualitative analysis, I separate praise from criticism, summarize specific issues that need to be addressed and behaviors that are helpful to student learning and ought to be maintained. I help the professor see the big picture from the dots. When teachers review raw student comments, they may become distracted by a few nasty dots that glare like beacons.

National Post ·
As this week's Bali climate circus gets underway, the science of climate change has long been left behind, presumably "settled" in thousands of pages of reports produced over the past year by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The proof is solid, they say, and the risks are real. There's nothing left to do but get on with the business of controlling carbon emissions.
But as we've shown on this page in the past, the IPCC -- a United Nations bureaucracy that literally dictates the world view on climate change--may not be the most reliable or trustworthy of agencies. It is, above all, a government-controlled body with a political mission that IPCC officials pursue with religious and dogmatic fervour. The IPCC distorts, exaggerates and manipulates its science, producing conclusions that are aimed at generating a political response and raising public awareness.
To doubt IPCC science is considered sacrilegious. We are required to "believe" anthropomorphic climate change is real, or otherwise face ridicule. For scientists, it can mean excommunication.
One of the IPCC's earlier blunders was to claim, as part of its proof of carbon-caused warming, that the 20th century was the hottest in 2,000 years. A graph showing the trend, shaped like a hockey stick, dominated scores of IPCC documents. But the science behind the claim was wrong. The latest IPCC reports no longer make the claim or show the graphic. The latest rough version of the Earth's temperature over 2,000 years (prepared by non-IPCC scientists) suggests the Earth was a lot warmer about 1,000 years ago, long before man began driving Fords and Chevys. Not much propaganda value in that, so the IPCC dropped the whole idea.
The new version of the 2,000-year temperature record (reproduced below) corrects some of the main problems with the original hockey stick. Above all, it attempts to plot temperature change without using flawed tree-ring data as major indicators of temperature.
Stripped of its 2,000-year sensation, the IPCC now trumpets a new chart as the official Global Temperature Record. This is the first graphic in the IPCC's latest official pre-Bali "synthesis" report on climate science. It's another scientific icon that purports to show temperatures soaring over the last 25 years. The recent jump, the IPCC says, is "very likely" due to man-made carbon emissions.
But a new paper by Ross McKitrick of Guelph University and Patrick Michaels of the Cato Institute suggests the latest IPCC climate-change icon could be as flawed as the hockey stick. One of the main problems with the 2,000-year graphic is that it wiped out a well-known Medieval Warm Period from 1,000 years ago. The McKitrick/Michaels analysis looks at the other end of the time spectrum and finds that much of the recent warming trend may be a function of faulty, contaminated data. It may simply be wrong.
The trick IPCC treatment of problems associated with 20th-century temperature measurements are spelled out in Mr. Mc-Kitrick's commentary at right. The short version is that the IPCC ignored findings related to the heat effect of people living in urban areas, and the degree to which measures of urban temperatures have been compromised over the years. It's hotter in cities not because of climate change, but simply because cities are hotter. "Claims about the amount of warming since 1980 ... should be reassessed using uncontaminated data," Mr. McKitrick says.
Most revealing, however, is the scientific runaround Mr. Mc-Kitrick experienced when, as an official IPCC external reviewer, he presented his evidence on the degree of contamination in the IPCC's official Global Temperature Record. Not only is IPCC science in question, but on display is the IPCC's domineering bureaucratic methodology, state monopoly science in action.
So now the IPCC temperature scares have been corrected at both ends. First, warming periods of the distant past were wrongly eliminated or diminished. And now the warming periods of the present have been exaggerated. What's left as proof that unprecedented anthropomorphic climate change is taking place as predicted? Something to wonder about on the beaches of Bali.

While most people can probably pick out a shampoo in no time at all, accidentally snagging a bad one can strip hair of protective oils, cause breakage, and even contribute to hair loss. NYC Hair Specialist and Restoration Expert, Dr. Robert Dorin, breaks down key hair care ingredients to avoid, explains split ends and dandruff.
Dr Dorin created Scientific Essentials' Simply Scientific Hair Care System. The Simply Scientific Hair Care products are physician formulated using the best scientific ingredients to deliver healthy, vibrant, soft, and beautiful hair. While flawless hair may seem like a matter of chance, it's really a question of science. With Scientific Essentials™, every day can be a beautiful hair day, while enriching your hair with the best ingredients.
What played a role in the ingredients you used?
As the products were formulated, I experimented with numerous ingredients to provide healthier, stronger and revitalized hair. Repairing the hair as well as protecting it from future damage was my focus. Producing immediate and long term results were also essential. By testing combinations of powerful natural amino acids, proteins, and vitamins and combining them with the powerful natural 18-MEA ingredient, I found our proprietary blend would work on all hair types and ethnicities. The products not only improved the individual hair's quality and strength but provided a vibrant and volumizing effect and left hair feeling soft. Maintaining this effect was key and ingredients were used to prolong the benefits while building the hair quality with repeated use.
What aspects of products should women take into consideration when purchasing products?
o High performance, quality ingredients and backed with professional results.
o Anti-aging hair properties where the product not only makes your hair look great, but repairs any damage and provides long term durability from styling, treatments and daily exposures. Superior Product experience and immediate results are also important. Long term hair protection and benefits.
o Products should not contain harsh material as cleansing is a simple gentle process but fortifying the hair and locking in hydration is essential, while building up the hair to make it stronger and look healthier.
What are the top 5 worst ingredients you can find in a hair product?
1. Harsh surfactants like sodium laurel sulfate and ammonium laurel sulfate dry not only hair but the scalp.
2. Silicones and heavy oils that only temporarily coat the hair.
3. Parabens as its the inexpensive way to preserve a product and does not belong in any personal care product.
How can women prevent those pesky split ends?
o Try to minimize harsh styling treatments such as routine extreme heat and chemical treatments used to color, bleach and perm hair. As these will damage and remove our hair's natural protective lipid layer (18-MEA) that is important for the integrity and health of our hair.
o Instead of using conditioners that contain silicone based products such as dimethicone and other heavy oils not naturally found in our hair; use a product that contains natural 18-MEA which fortifies and nourishes hair to rebalance its moisture and build up the cuticle and cortex.
o Try deep conditioning with powerful conditioners to replenish moisture and reconstruct hair while protecting it from future damage. By deep conditioning you can offer an intensive treatment for the hair. This will allow the ingredients to properly penetrate the hair cuticle for maximum hydration. By deeply moisturizing the hair, many forms of damage and dryness can be reduced. A deep conditioner treatment can be done once every third or fourth shampooing. For immense results, apply Scientific Essentials Conditioner after shampooing and leave on for as long as possible (usually 15-20 min). Cover your locks with a shower cap or hot towel to intensify the conditioning treatment, allowing the conditioner to penetrate and work even more effectively. After rinsing with cool water, the ingredients will seal the hair cuticle and allow for long lasting shine and softness.
o Using Scientific Essentials Conditioner routinely or Scientific Essentials Revitalizing Mist daily provides daily protection and leaves your hair looking and feeling great.
What is the cause for sudden onset of dandruff?
Dandruff is one of the most common dermatologic conditions. Although the exact cause is not known, there appears to be different types and contributing factors:
o Simple dry scalp/skin is the most common form of dandruff. This type produces tiny white flakes with an itchy scalp.
o Seborreic Dermatitis is another form that produces oily greasy skin/scalp and flakes are usually larger in size and slightly yellowish. Other areas of the body with oil glands can also be involved such as the sides of the nose, behind the ears, eyebrows, middle of the chest, and the groin region.
o People with chronic inflammatory skin disorders such as psoriasis, and eczema can produce a build-up of dead skin/ scalp scales that look rough and dry and flake like dandruff.
o Certain types of fungal infections (Malassezia) of the scalp can also cause the scalp to become irritated and produce extra skin of the scalp that flakes off as dandruff.
o Certain sensitivities to hair products causing a contact dermatitis can also produce dandruff as a symptom.
For the most common type of dandruff a gentle effective cleanser without harsh detergents followed by a natural conditioning agent such as 18- MEA will help mitigate the dryness and rebalance the scalp and hair's moisture. For the oily greasy seborreic dandruff and the fungal infection causing dandruff, shampoos containing zinc and an anti fungal medication such as, Ketoconazol, can help reduce and control the dandruff. It is a good idea to see a physician if the dandruff does not respond within 3-4 weeks. Finally, eat a healthy diet rich in Omega Fatty Acids, Zinc, and Vitamins B and E . Not only will your healthy hair and scalp love you , but the rest of your body will too for their amazing health and anti aging properties!

Curious about Dukjang Gulag Where Jeong Ha Cheol Has Been Imprisoned?
- A completely restricted high ranking officials' prison from which no one can be released alive
Han Young Jin, Reporter, Defector from Pyongyang | 2005-12-14 14:17
The whereabouts and size of Dukjang Kwan-li-so have not been known because nearly no one has been released alive from its Completely Controlled Area.
Kim Tae Jin, the co-president of Democracy Network against North Korean Gulag, had been imprisoned in a gualg before he fled to the South. He testified that Dukjang Kwan-li-so was like Kwan-li-so #15 because it was divided into the Completely Controlled Area and the Revolutionization Area. "The political prisoner is isolated from his family by being imprisoned in the Completely Controlled Area while his family is confined in the Revolutionization Area," said Mr. Kim.
It has been known that Kwan-li-so #15 (Yodok gulag) is the only gulag where the Completely Controlled Area and Revolutionization Area coexist. However, when testimonies given by those defectors who had been imprisoned in political prison camps were taken into consideration, it seems that Dukjang gulag also contains both of them.
If a family is taken to a gulag that contains both the Completely Controlled Area and Revolutionization Area, the political prisoner cannot ever meet other family members for good. Even when s/he has an accidental chance to see other family members while working for forced labor, s/he is not allowed to speak to them.
Its whereabouts is a mystery. There might have been a merger
Kim Yong Soon, a managerial committee member of the Democracy Network against North Korean Gulag, had been confined in a political prison camp before he escaped from the North. She said, "Dukjang gulag is where Jeong Byeong Gab, the former commander of the first regiment, was imprisoned and died, and those purgees who had been key executives of the central Party or who had been military officers after fighting as anti-Japanese partisans were imprisoned.
Kim Yong Soon also said that members of Yan'an faction and Soviet Union faction such as Kim Kwang Hyeop and Huh Bong Hak had been taken to Dukjang gulag during the 60s and 70s. She added that he had heard in the early 90s from a person who had been released alive from the Revolutionization Area that the Revolutionization Area had been dismantled in the 80s.
Lee Jeong Gil (36, pseudonym for his protection) had worked for the National Security Agency before he fled the North in 2002. He testified that he had seen two political prison camps in the Bukchang area, and Dukjang gulag had once allowed exemplary prisoners to get married.
It is not known whether there are one or two political prison camps in Bukchang for the time being. However, according to Kim Yong Soon's testimony, it seems that there had been two political prison camps in Bukchang, but they later merged into one due to Kim Jong Il's instructions that the number of gulags must be reduced. Kim Jong Il was forced to give such instructions because the international societies raised their voices regarding the necessity of inspection of North Korean gulags.
In other words, Dukjang gulag seems to have been merged at nearly the same time as the following five Kwan-li-so were merged; Kwan-li-so #14 in Kaechon of South Pyongan Province, Kwan-li-so #15 in Yodok of South Hamkyeong Province, Kwan-li-so #16 in Hwasung of North Hamkyeong Province, Kwan-li-so #22 in Hoiryeong of North Hamkyeong Province, and Kwan-li-so #25 in Chongjin of North Hamkyeong Province.
North Korea restructured political prison camps in the early 90s. When political prison camps were merged, some prisoners were killed, and some in the Revolutionization Area were released if they were considered to be reformed. The remaining prison facilities were turned to ordinary prisons, or some other uses, which made the whereabouts of the gulag a mystery.

Gateshead 1-1 Darlington
Gateshead made it three draws out of three against Darlington at the International Stadium after a disappointing derby at a blustery International Stadium.
The Tynesiders unimpressive home form continued when former Carlisle United midfielder Marc Bridge-Wilkinson levelled from the penalty spot eight minutes from time.
Gateshead's home results are becoming their Achilles heel and it is three months since a Conference win was recorded on Tyneside.
Martin Brittain's excellent 53rd minute free kick was never built on and Chris Carruthers was sent off in his first start since he was red carded against Tamworth in the FA Cup earlier in the month.
The concession of a late goal proved costly - the 5th time in the last seven home games that a goal has been conceded in the last 15 minutes.
The Heed had opened brightly with Kris Gate getting forward to good effect to support Jon Shaw and Brittain and former Quaker Chris Moore providing the width.
An early Gate header was deflected over the bar and then Brittain's curling free kick was turned away by Sam Russell.
Graeme Lee put a header just wide at the other end and then Liam Hatch cut inside to shoot past the angle.
Gate got in front of Russell to head over from another Brittain cross and then volleyed over as The Heed continued to press.
Phil Turnbull was wide of the near post from 18 yards but Darlington twice went close inside 40 seconds on the half hour.
Teenager Dale Hopson intercepted James Curtis' wayward pass to chip Tim Deasy from distance, the keeper just getting back to claw the ball away one-handed.
Liam Hatch then played in Jamie Chandler who looked a certain scorer until Deasy spread himself to make a crucial block.
Former Gateshead loanee Adam Rundle got the better of Craig Baxter to fire into the side netting as the Quakers ended the half strongly.
It was Gateshead, however, who made the breakthrough eight minutes into the second half after Lee had gone through Jon Shaw just outside the box.
Brittain brilliantly curled the ball into the far corner and then Gate blazed over from Shaw's lay-off as all looked fine on the home front.
Bridge-Wilkinson, however, almost got on the end of a Rundle cross while Russell palmed clear a Moore cross before Gate could pounce.
Gateshead had lost their way and they were made to pay as the clock ticked down.
John McReady was allowed to run across the face of the box and when his short ball found Bridge-Wilkinson the schemer was bundled over by Carruthers.
Cure another red card for the experienced full back and the equaliser as Bridge-Wilkinson sent Deasy the wrong way from the spot.
Neither side could find a winner as a scrappy derby ended all square, Darlington much the happier of the two sides.

About Us
Developing an appreciation for fine leather and silver products while attending college at Northern Arizona University led Jerry Tucker to owning a leather shop in Aspen, Colorado. Using silverwork as embellishment on leather products led "Tucker" to the manufacture of embossment tools for silversmithing and the creation of Tucker Tool Co., in operation today.
Tucker Tool Company started as a necessity to make tools for silversmithing. From there, it expanded to a tool making business for silversmiths and metal artisans around the world.
Over the past few years, Tucker has
developed a line of fine leather bracelets, called "cowboy cuffs",
which caught on like wildfire. Embellished by authentic turquoise and sterling silver on hand stamped leather, and finished off with bold stainless silver tips, the quality of this line is unsurpassed in the western art world. It is now carried by some of the best western and Indian jewelry stores in the southwest, plus many of the best western art catalogues such as
Sundance, Pendleton Blanket, and Goresuch.
Tucker is now living in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, in an idyllic mountain setting where he enjoys skiing, horse packing, mountain biking, and fishing. He has named his new line of leather bracelets
"Cowboy Cuffs"
in honor of his western heritage.
Since 1975 Tucker Tool Company has produced the finest embossment dies in the southwest. Influencing silversmiths worldwide with the possibilities of moving metal in three-dimensional form, Tucker Tool Company stands as the leader in quality and innovation in embossment stamp sets. From traditional Navajo Indian motif, to classical art nouveau, Tucker Tool is constantly adding new possibilities that stimulate evermore creative ways to utilize embossment as the key ingredient to decorative metalsmithing.
The following pages will lead you through the current collection of embossment dies followed by examples of hand made jewelry that will show you the infinite possibilities of using Tucker Tools as aids to your jewelry creations.

College Hockey:Eight is enough for my Hobey picks
Well, the top 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Award have been announced, and I did reasonably well.
For the record, your finalists are:
Spencer Abbott, F, Maine
Jack Connolly, F, Minnesota Duluth
Brian Dumoulin, D, Boston College
Troy Grosenick, G, Union
Shawn Hunwick, G, Michigan
Tim Kirby, D, Air Force
Torey Krug, D, Michigan State
Justin Schultz, D, Wisconsin
Austin Smith, F, Colgate
Reilly Smith, F, Miami
In my previous blog post, I predicted a slightly different group, with Minnesota forward Nick Bjugstad and Denver forward Drew Shore in the top 10 instead of Kirby and Krug. There are two things we can learn from this:
1. Contrary to popular belief (among WCHA fans), I actually overestimated the number of WCHA players that would be in the top 10.
2. I had eight out of 10 players correct, which beats my 7-of-10 performance from last year, but doesn't quite measure up to my all-time best of 9-of-10 (2007 and 2010). It also tops the only other media prediction I saw, which had Minnesota-Duluth center Travis Oleksuk joining Connolly in the top 10 instead of Dumoulin and wound up with seven out of 10 correct.
I won't belabor the point, because we've all got hockey to watch, and games do take precedence at this point in the year. What I will do is give a quick take on where I went wrong.
One thing that's clearly obvious is that this was one hell of a year for defensemen, with four blueliners in the top 10. I did not see that coming at all, but maybe with the lukewarm feelings I had about my wrong picks (Bjugstad and Shore), I should have looked at more defensemen.
I remember a commenter asking where Torey Krug was on my list, and that fan gets kudos for making that pick. The fact that Krug led the CCHA in conference scoring as a defenseman has to be admired, and given the way that the Spartans have rebounded in their first year under Tom Anastos, an MSU player deserves a top 10 spot.
As for Kirby, he's Air Force's No. 3 scorer with 27 points, and only two defensemen — Schultz and BU's Garrett Noonan — have more goals than Kirby's 12. However, what I've observed in past years is that Atlantic Hockey gets a Hobey finalist only when there's a runaway for the conference's player of the year award. This year, Bentley's Brett Gensler has gotten a lot of buzz, with Connecticut's Cole Schneider generating interest as well, so I didn't see an Atlantic representative as a given. Of course, Gensler and Schneider are done for the year, while Air Force is the favorite in this weekend's Atlantic Hockey championship, so that might be a factor as well.
One other thing to consider: When I looked at the Vote For Hobey totals early in the Hobey Watch, Kirby was one of the players getting significant fan support, albeit not at the levels of Connolly and Abbott, who each wound up with more than 24,000 votes. I remember that still being the case when I looked at the final Vote For Hobey totals earlier in the week, but I can't give you the exact total because that part of the Hobey Baker site is not accessible right now while they reload for Part II of the voting.
Looking now, I can't help but be curious about how much of a role the Vote for Hobey program played in Kirby making the top 10.
Just to be clear: I'm not saying whether fan voting did or didn't make a difference. I don't know exactly how the fan votes are factored in when the top 10 finalists are selected, because I've never asked anyone from the Hobey committee. I guess I'll have to do that now. I'm also not insinuating that Kirby doesn't belong in the top 10. He's had an excellent season, and anyone who can perform as an elite college athlete while keeping up with the academic and military commitments involved in attending a military academy is certainly worthy of our praise. All I'm saying is that I'm curious as to whether the fan vote helped Kirby's cause at all.
I'll try to get to the bottom of that and report back to you. For now, what do you think of the top 10?

The Loner
Geralyn Dawson
May 2008, Frontier/Western Hist Romance (1890s Texas)
HQN, $6.99, 377 pages, Amazon ASIN 0373772939Part of a series
The Loner is the first book in the Good Luck Grooms series. The Bad Luck Brides make appearances, but this book features Lucky Logan Grey, the luckiest man in Texas. Luckys luck as a detective has earned him fame, although hes also well-known for helping Dair MacRae (Her Outlaw) find the Bad Luck Treasure. Now a woman from his past needs his good luck to help her through a tough time. Are you overwhelmed yet by all the luck? I was, although none of it rubbed off on me as I read Geralyn Dawson's book.
Logan made a mistake when he decided to visit the bank first thing in the morning. Had he just decided to go to the Sporting House first, he wouldnt have found himself standing in the middle of an armed robbery. And just his luck, he left his gun at home. Most everybody thinks Logan is lucky, but he knows that to be false. His entire family died in a flood when he was five, while he survived to grow up in a home for orphans. But his luck seems to change when a beautiful woman throws herself on him and shoves a gun down his waistband. Now armed, Logan manages to neutralize the situation, with a lot of additional help from the woman. Hes quite happy to further their acquaintance when he meets her later that night, until she starts talking.
Caroline is no stranger to Logan, despite what he may think. She may have been born a Kilpatrick, but she has had the last name Grey for 15 years. Logan and she were married when they were very young, but he left the next morning and never came back. Unfortunately, her bad luck continued as her father died just a couple weeks later, leaving her alone and pregnant. But she found a home with a couple of ex-outlaws, Ben and Suzanne Whitaker. Ben is the reason she finally tracked down her very estranged husband. You see, Ben has gone after Geronimos Treasure and in doing so has entered the worst possible outlaw camp, Black Shadow Canyon. Now she needs her husbands luck and aim to retrieve Ben, but knowing that Logan would never risk his life for an old outlaw, or for her for that matter, she lies and tells him his son, Will, is the one whos gone after the treasure (I really didnt know there was so much treasure up for grabs).
I took issue with quite a few things in this book. The cutesy names and obsessive use of the luck theme made me wary of the story right off the bat. In my experience, books that use those devices mostly end up being average at best. Then there were some moments that pulled me out of the time period. At one time Caroline likens Logan to a vampire, which just didnt seem right for 1890s Texas. Along those lines, Logan tells Caroline that he doesnt give a flying rats ass, which definitely seems like a modern expression.
But what really killed this for me was Logan and Carolines relationship. He doesnt realize that theyre really married, since her father paid him to fake it. I understand that and can totally accept his absence. However, Logan didnt remember her. Not even after she told him her name and that they were married! In fact, he comes up with two other women that could have fit the description, but not her. Caroline feels understandably furious, especially since she never knew what her father did. She just knows that he married her, impregnated her, and left her without looking back. Despite all this, she enthusiastically starts a sexual relationship with him and often instigates their encounters. I dont understand why she would be attracted to him. He just seems like an over-sexed teenager who uses clichéd lines to get a pretty woman into bed and thinks that this womans more of a sure thing because theyre already married.
A small detail of their relationship that I found slightly offensive is that Logan specifically tells Caroline that he takes great care with all the women he sleeps with to prevent against pregnancy, except for that one time with her. He again takes no precautions during their sexual encounters, despite believing that he will not be sticking around and knowing how hard her life has been as an abandoned wife and mother. I already felt like he didnt care about her and that just cinched it in my mind.
Now, there is a reason that this book didn't earn an even lower grade I had some interest in reading it, almost against my better judgment. There were different plot twists, such as a tornado incident, that kept it from being a chore. When you take Logan and Caroline out of it, The Loner is pretty average. However, I never once believed the two loved each other and they made many decisions that I thought were just plain stupid. I wont be testing my luck by picking up the next book in this series.
