At Make Life Lovely, Laura has been coming up with ways to upcycle empty baby food jars. Her latest project is super versatile.
Laura attached the jars to a weathered board with clamps. Secured on the board, the jars turn into perfect little bud vases or candle holders for tealights. It's a delightful decoration with flowers for spring and summer that will look equally lovely with candles for a cozy winter display. Amazing idea, Laura!
You can read about how Laura put this together at Make Life Lovely.

The name Amanda Lear has long rattled around in the back of my mind particularly because she modeled for one of my all-time favorite designers, Ossie Clark, in the 1960s. Here she is in one of his simpler-looking ensembles …
… and here she is in one of Celia Birtwell's famous prints for Ossie.
She was a friend and muse to Surrealist Salvador Dali and linked to Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, resulting in the 1967 song, "Miss Amanda Jones." In 1973 — when she was dating Bryan Ferry, the lead singer of Roxy Music — she was the cover model for that band's For Your Pleasure album.
Later that decade, she started putting out her own records in her latest incarnation as disco queen. So how did I not encounter this highlarious video for her song "Fashion Pack (Studio 54)" till this week? The song is fun because it namechecks Studio 54 habituees, including Andy Warhol, Bianca Jagger and Liza Minnelli. But the video is even better, especially when Amanda rips off her white satin sailor pants to reveal a totally unwrinkled disco dress that falls below the knee. Was that whole dress stuffed in the pants? Who cares? I love it.
When you hear Amanda's deep voice, you'll understand why there were rumors that she was a MAN, baby. Another case of nothing is new under the sun — not even gossip — which may be some consolation to Lady Gaga, also the subject of such rumors.
According to her Wikipedia entry, Amanda Lear was born in 1939. Or 1946. Or 1950. That's a pretty wide range. She's an international woman of mystery!
4 Responses to "Amanda Lear: Leader of the (Fashion) Pack"
Love her!
If you haven't seen it already, you need to watch this 1969 German programme which features Amanda Lear and Kari-Ann Muller(another Roxy girl) AND Pattie Boyd modelling Ossie gear!
Wow I remember this! Thanks for a most excellent post Wendy. Love reading about interesting characters that I haven't thought about for like ever!

I just got back from a week away. More that a week, because the greater part of 4 days was spent behind the wheel. But within those (actually 10) days, I got 6 days with plenty of time to work.
I was able to pretend some of my responsibilities didn't exist, and got a ton of writing on my NaNoWriMo book finished. However, I did not make it (yet) to 50k words. Not that I have any doubts about making it.
That said, I got a real feeling for professional writing.
And I liked it.
The work flowed. I was up early every morning and working as the sun came up. It felt good.
Typically my day consists of some writing on novel projects, some writing on this blog (UhW), and some writing in other areas (the Fremont Area Writers branch of the California Writers Club), managing several websites and various other projects. In other words, I write most of the time every day.
The difference is not being encumbered by all these other requirements.
What a dilemma.
What is a person to do? Give up those additional projects that eat so much time? Push to work even harder during the day?
Frankly, I don't know. The other projects are important, and they contribute, but they don't get the main job done as quickly as I'd like.
I usually do not go on about personal issues on this blog, and I apologize if it all seems a bit fatuous. But, I've gotta tell you, having all of that uninterrupted time to write was quite a treat.

In a discrete-time Markov chain, having constructed the transition distributions, the initial distribution should not affect the limiting distribution (when it exists) in theory. So in MCMC, how to choose the initial state should not affect that the distribution of $X_n$ will converges to the target distribution.
But I wonder if the initial state can really be arbitrarily chosen? Is there some consideration for picking the initial state?
If we want to get multiple sample points from the same discrete-time Markov chain, which one is better:
Starting from a state, after sufficiently long time, all sample points will be kept.
Starting from a state, after sufficiently long time, the first sample point will be kept. Then start over again from a state, after sufficiently long time, the second sample point will be kept. So on for the third, fourth, ..., sample points.
I saw in a note uses the second way, and the initial state is fixed over all runs that start over. I am not sure what benefits can using the same or different initial state bring?

The Federal Reserve has cut a key short-term interest rate for the second time in a row.
The central bank's rate-setting committee lowered the target for the federal funds rate by one-quarter of a percentage point, to 4.5 percent. The prime rate will fall to 7.5 percent. Consumer interest rates based on the prime rate -- mainly home equity lines of credit and most variable-rate credit cards -- will fall a quarter-point in coming weeks.
Normally, you would expect yields on certificates of deposit to fall, too -- especially shorter-term CDs. But that's not necessarily the case this time. It's not a sure thing that mortgage rates will fall, either.
Most economists and investors had expected this rate cut because they believed the Fed would want to address the bursting of the real-estate bubble in many of the country's biggest metro areas.
The Fed explained its action by saying that economic growth was solid from July through September, but "the pace of economic expansion will likely slow in the near term, partly reflecting the intensification of the housing correction."
The rate-setting committee cautioned that "some inflation risks remain" because of rising energy and commodity prices, and that the risks of inflation and an economic slowdown are roughly in balance.
In September, the last time the
rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee, or
FOMC, met, the panel cut the federal funds rate
by half a percentage point. That was the first
time in more than four years that the Fed had
made a rate move, in either direction, of more
than a quarter of a percentage point.
"A quarter-point cut would be done in the spirit of insurance, rather than a firm belief that it's necessary," said Richard DeKaser, chief economist for National City Corp., before the Fed's announcement. DeKaser had put himself in what he called "the ultraminority camp" of economists who expected the central bank to keep rates unchanged.
DeKaser said he believes that problems in housing markets are transitory, and that he isn't convinced that the Fed should try to solve them, because it then might create other troubles. The central bank, he said, "also has to worry about inflation, and it's not out of the woods on that front."
Fed cred
For other observers, the issue was the Fed's credibility. The markets had priced in a near-certainty that the central bank would reduce the federal funds rate by a quarter of a percentage point. Any other move would have scared investors.
"I think that a quarter percent (cut) is baked in the cake, pretty much, and I think they're doing the right thing," Bill Hummer, chief economist for Chicago-based Wayne Hummer Investments, said before the Fed announcement. "They have to reinforce confidence, which is still fragile in some sectors of the economy."

Legislation to raise awareness of the harmful effects of drinking sugary benefits, SB 1000, the Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Safety Warning Act, was passed by the California Senate on May 29. After passing by a 21 to 13 vote, the bill will be assessed by the State Assembly. The bill is the first of its kind in the nation; it is designed to help curb soaring diabetes rates by placing a simple warning label on the front of all bottles and cans of sugary drinks sold in California.
The bill was introduced last February by Senator Bill Monning (D-Carmel), in partnership with health advocates, community groups and physicians. It will apprise all Californians of the science supporting the harmful effects of consuming these beverages. The label, which was developed by a national panel of nutrition and public health experts, would read: STATE OF CALIFORNIA SAFETY WARNING: Drinking beverages with added sugar(s) contributes to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay.
"Today's vote is a major step toward warning people about the profoundly harmful effects of consuming liquid sugar," explained Dr. Harold Goldstein of the California Center for Public Health Advocacy, a sponsor of the bill. He added, "SB 1000 supports consumers' right to know the facts about diabetes, undiluted by beverage industry spin." Supporters of the bill note that an overwhelming body of scientific research notes that liquid sugar is uniquely harmful because it gets absorbed very rapidly, much faster than solid food. When sugar rapidly enters the bloodstream, it overloads the pancreas and causes the liver to store the sugar as fat; thus, increasing the risk of liver disease. This situation directly to diabetes, which has tripled in the US over the last 30 years. Research shows that drinking one or two sugary drinks a day increases the risk of developing diabetes by 26%. Currently, two-thirds of California teens drink one or more sodas a day—a higher proportion than ever before.
According to a recent Field Poll, 74% of California voters, including a majority of Republicans and Independents, support warning labels on sugary beverages. The bill will now be evaluated by the California State Assembly for consideration by policy and fiscal committees. It will then be submitted to a floor vote by August 31, 2014. If passed in that house with a simple majority, the legislation will then move on to the governor's desk; with approval, it could be signed into law by September 30, 2014. With the governor's approval, all sugary drink containers would display a warning label by July 1, 2015. Complete information on SB 1000, including fact sheets on the science linking sugary beverages to diabetes, obesity and tooth decay, is available at this link.

Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)
Gn 2:18-24; Heb 2:9-11; Mark 10:2-16
Divine Oneness in Human Flesh
"The two shall become one flesh" (Gen 2:24; Mark 10:8)
The divorce rate in the United States for the past decade has been approximately 50 percent for first marriages. The majority cite "irreconcilable differences" as the cause. Two-thirds of those who divorce have young children. While no statistics are available for first-century Palestine, divorce was not uncommon. But marriage practices and attitudes toward marriage were considerably different from our own. In their patriarchal social system, marriages were arranged between families, to strengthen the social cohesion of the two clans. The terms were negotiated between the groom and his father and the father of the bride. Divorce would mean a messy separation of the two families and would bring shame on the family of the bride, since in Jewish tradition, only a man could initiate divorce.
It is in this context that the Pharisees "test" Jesus about the Law concerning divorce. The only text in the Torah that deals with divorce is Deut 24:1-4, where Moses declares that a man who becomes displeased with his wife because he finds in her "something objectionable" may write her a bill of divorce and hand it to her and dismiss her from his house. The meaning of the Hebrew term used here had long been debated by the rabbis. In the time of Jesus, some important teachers, like Shammai, interpreted it strictly, as meaning only sexual misconduct, whereas others, like Hillel, thought it allowed even for spoiling a dish (m. Gittin 9:10). Jesus' response is startling. He interprets Deuteronomy 24 as a concession on the part of Moses to the peoples' hardness of heart, and redirects them to the ideal put forth in Genesis 2. He underscores the divine intent for oneness and harmonious relations among all creatures, most especially human beings, male and female created in God's image and likeness.
The creation of woman in Gen 2:18-24 has often been misinterpreted in misogynistic ways: that the creation of woman as second, and from the man's side, makes her subordinate to and derivative from him. Moreover the Hebrew phrase in verse 18 has been poorly rendered in some translations as "helpmate," making the sole purpose of woman's creation to be an aid in man's work. Most recent translations have rightly rendered it as "suitable partner" (revised NAB), or "a helper as his partner" (NRSV). These capture the nuances of the Hebrew words for "strength, indispensable aid," often used of God's saving help, and for "corresponding to." As a myth of origins, Genesis 2 tells of how human beings came to be and how male and female relate to one another with mutuality and partnership. Having been created from man's side (the Hebrew word sēlā', rendered "rib," literally means "side"), woman is to stand alongside him as his equal. As the man's exclamation in verse 22 affirms, she corresponds to him exactly. She is strong just like him ("bone of my bones"), and weak like him ("flesh of my flesh").
Jesus quotes this text to his opponents, changing the focus from divorce to God's original intent for oneness and mutual correspondence. Just as later Christians would come to understand God as Three-in-One, so the unity of man and woman in marriage reflects this sacred unbreakable oneness.
The reasons why not all marriages reflect this sacred unity are many; and from the very first, Christians have understood that there are exceptions to Jesus' stark pronouncement of "no divorce" (see 1 Cor 7:11, 15; Matt 19:9). When the ideal cannot be realized, it is equally important to remember is Jesus' insistence on compassion, forgiveness, and unconditional love.
- How does the divine intent for oneness and mutual correspondence between man and woman undermine patterns of domination?
- Pray for the grace to attain the ideal of unity and for compassion when this is not possible.
- What does childlike powerlessness and receptivity look like in your life?

Changing The World Through Music
One Of The Legendary Guitarists Of The Music World, Carlos Santana Has Come Back With A Brand New Fan-Pleasing Album Called Shape Shifter That Has 13 Songs And Is Heavy On Instrumentals.
You make reference to native Americans and Aborigines in your recent studio album, Shape Shifter. What sort of message are you giving exactly?
Thank you for asking that. I came up with this concept because I believe that every person on this planet knows that change is inevitable and growth is optional, and you have to become crystal clear in your awareness. Unless you have willingness to allow, or you allow willingness, you're going to be stuck in the mud and not be happy. You're going to be miserable. But if you have willingness to allow and allow willingness, then you can have creativity and vitality.
In your recording process over the years, how did you decide what songs would make certain albums and what songs would be held back for Shape Shifter?
It's just like being a cook or a tailor. You know what goes with your tongue and flavor if you're a cook, or what goes with symmetry if you're a tailor. And if you're a musician, you know what goes with what music. For example, I took the CD for a drive and played the songs in a certain sequence, and I noted if something was harmoniously welcome or distracting.
This album is a departure from the last four you've released. How did you find the formula for it? And how is it different from the others?
First of all, I really don't like the word 'formula'. The word 'formula' is positive for creating something in a laboratory, a cure for cancer or something like that. Or if you're creating the perfect melody, theme and chorus for a radio hit, I could understand that being called a 'formula'. But for me, and with this album, it's just the opposite. Having no formula other than trust. That's it. We replace formula with trust.
How do themes and melodies come to you when you're writing new music?
It comes from above. Whether it's mental gibberish, or being cute and clever. It comes like a voice from the center of your heart, or from high above where it's quiet, beyond the chatter in your head.
The album features Benny Rietveld, Chester Thompson and Dennis Chambers as well as Raul Rekow, Karl Perazzo and the two vocalists, Andy Vargas and Tony Lindsay. Tell us what the band members brought to the entire album individually and collectively.
Thank you for asking that. Each one is more than just a colleague. Each person brings their own spirit, their own imprint. CT (Chester Thompson) and I collaborated from '83 until about two or three years ago, and I look forward to doing something with him in the near future. The rest of the musicians all bring their own colors and creativity.
Aside from being instrumental, there are songs on the new album like Shape Shifter and Nomad that include a multitude of genres within one song. What kind of liberating experience was that for you as an artist?
I've always had that since I started playing the guitar, because I wasn't told by anyone what I should do. I've never had anyone put a negative thought in my head about what I could do or shouldn't be doing.
You've collaborated with some of the best musicians over the decades. Is there anyone today - an up-and-coming performer maybe - that you would like to work with on a future project?
Lady Gaga and, let's see, who else? Some African musicians. And some bands from India and the Middle East. I found out not too long ago that there are people in Persia, Istanbul, Jerusalem, all the way to India, who are playing Metallica and Santana, so I'd like to play with some of those bands because I want to learn that kind of singing and phrasing. It's very rare, and very attractive to me.
What do you do to inspire yourself and keep your songs fresh and new?
I read a lot of books. I'm always looking for books that remind me that I have an incredible power to choose. My brain and my molecules obey me, as opposed to me obeying them.
Who are the people you see right now, like yourself, who are making a concerted effort to change the world through music?
Sting, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga. There are a lot of young people today who realize that ice cream tastes better when you share it.
What's next for StarFaith records?
There are three of four records to do. One is a new Santana CD. And I'd like to do one with Cindy. I'd also like to do another instrumental, because I have a lot of ideas. I think it's mostly about being grateful and staying happy.
Carlos Santana is a musician known not only for his art but also for The Milagro Foundation, which he set up. The foundation, which supports education, art and health for disadvantaged children in different parts of the world, has been active since 1998. For more information: milagrofoundation.org

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- Police say a man is accused of beating a 2-year-old while the child's mother was out buying drugs.
The Tampa Bay Times reports 23-year-old Anthony Prestero was arrested Saturday after taking the unconscious child to the hospital.
Prestero told police the boy had fallen, but he was arrested after doctors said the injuries didn't match his story.
The boy's mother -- 33-year-old Laura Fossett -- told police she left the child with her live-in boyfriend while she bought drugs. The newspaper reports Fossett had recently signed a "safety plan" with the Department of Children and Families in which she promised to never leave the child alone with Prestero.
Fossett remains in Pinellas County Jail on a child neglect charge and a parole violation. Prestero was released from jail Sunday.

For Immediate Release: February 22, 2011Contact: ELIZABETH PAROWSKI, email@example.com or 240-482-1984; FRANCIE ISRAELI, firstname.lastname@example.com or (202) 207-1134ALLEY CAT ALLIES URGES SUPPORT FOR STATEWIDE MARYLAND SPAY/NEUTER PROGRAMS Legislation under consideration would mark first important steps toward statewide fund
BETHESDA, MD — Alley Cat Allies, the national advocate for stray and feral cats, today urged supporters in Maryland to press their state delegates for support on a bill in the Maryland General Assembly that would pave the way for a statewide spay/neuter fund.
The bill (H.B.339) would set up a task force to examine successful spay/neuter programs in the state and across the nation and – based on those observations – make recommendations to the Governor and state legislature on establishing a state fund to boost access to spay/neuter services. The bill is set for a hearing in committee on Wednesday.
"Programs that increase access to spay/neuter are literally lifesaving, as all neutered cats lead better and healthier lives. But the cost of the procedure can be prohibitive," said Becky Robinson, president of Alley Cat Allies.
"Spay/neuter as part of Trap-Neuter-Return programs for feral cats improves the cats' health and stabilizes the population. But many communities do not have access to affordable programs for feral and stray cats," Robinson said. "Further, studies have shown that for pet cats who are not neutered, owners frequently cited the cost of the procedure as a major obstacle."
Robinson noted that spay/neuter programs are already in place in about half of all U.S. states, and have been enormously successful.
Alley Cat Allies is urging supporters in Maryland to contact their state representatives and urge passage of the bill. More information is available at www.alleycat.org.

|Patch 4.3 Video Guide
Patch 4.3 isn't out yet. In fact, it isn't even on the PTR yet.
We're gold makers though, and that doesn't stop us from preparing right now.
We relish in the idea of making 100,000 gold in a single patch and if you're anything like me, that's your minimum goal for any new content update. Patch 4.3, the last patch of Cataclysm, will be no different for us. We make our own goals because the game's goals are too boring. We make millions of gold because we want to, not because it means something to anyone else.
In the spirit of this attitude, a very popular gold making goddess has compiled a comprehensive 20 minute video covering the following patch 4.3 information:
- Learn how to supply the influx of players excited by the new patch
- Discover how to deal with an overstocked Pyrite market.
- See the price curve of Chaos Orbs over the first week in patch 4.3, before it happens
- Be able to take advantage of their greedy competitors
- Get ready for 4.3 before the public test realm is even released
- Prepare to value their BoP Chaos Orbs before they become unbound.
After watching this video, you'll be ready to prepare for patch 4.3 before most people on your server are even thinking about it.
In this 20 minutes video presentation, the author talks about which items will rise to the sky …. or plummet to zero value with the new changes to Darkmoon Faire. Underneath the Video, I have included a link to the PDF that you can print out and read along with the video. It covers the exciting new opportunity for Transmogrification, with a Secret Method to keep 100% up to date with fashions BEFORE they even happen!
Discover WHY your snatch list will be working hard in 4.3.

As always, updates to 20k Leveling are free for current members. If you aren't a member then you're missing out on these great tips and frequent updates! We will have a follow up video once 4.3 patch notes are finalized, which of course will be free for 20k Leveling members.

Finding the right dating partner is often a challenge. Today everyone seems to be going for blind dates. They visit some or the other adult dating site and end up with bad dates. And people still tend to flock to adult online dating without finding the best sites our there. Why not opt for a site that can really deliver a great dating partner. Upforit.com is one such site where finding the best dating partner becomes easier.
But does it all end here? Finding the right partner from an adult chat site? Is it always the job of a man to propose that the couple move on to the next stage? Has it ever happened to you when you wanted to move to the next level but didn't get the right signals? It is possible that your dating partner was also waiting for you to send the signals.
So, what do you do in such circumstances when both of you want to move to the next stage and no one is giving those signals? And this is when you have connected through UpForIt free sex dating. It is now a good idea for you to become that liberated woman.
No, not being liberated doesn't mean you have to act as if you are totally uninhibited. This form of behavior could result in dangerous or tragic situations. Someone could get badly hurt. When you are supposed to act liberated, you send those signals and still maintain your demure demeanour.
What all should you do?
Send the signals that you like your man – You are a woman and you don't need any tips here. Smile at him, fix your hair and give him those long looks and he should understand. In some cases, this lead alone would prompt your man to act. But what if it doesn't? Do you give up here? I wouldn't if I were you.
The next step would be to make those light touches. You know like a woman does as she pats a hand and says something like, "naughty" or "how funny". This time the signals should be loud and clear. In most of the cases, the many will now be prepared to take the lead.
But then, there are those still left that cannot make the move. Some women would definitely give up on the man here, but some still wouldn't and I'm one of them.
Because I would be driven back home by my date, I would stop at the door of my home and ask if he is interested in a cup of coffee or better still, a nightcap. I doubt this time I would fail and so shouldn't you? The rest is up to the two of you.
This is just how take the lead by being liberated and yet ladylike. It is an effective series of steps that should work perfectly for you, or any woman for that matter.

Internet Banking Security Upgrade
The First Day
What will I experience when I log in to my online banking account the first day after the security upgrade?
Step 1:The system will check your current access ID and password to see if they meet the new security standards stated above. If the access ID and/or password need to be updated, you will be prompted on screen to make the change before proceeding. Otherwise you will see a message stating that your login is fine.
Step 2: The system will check if your phone number(s) are registered. If any phone numbers are identified, the system will display them and allow you to review and edit these numbers if desired. If you do not have any phone numbers registered, you will be prompted to enter up to two phone numbers. These numbers will be used to send you a one-time passcode via a voice call or SMS text message (you choose the method). If you do not have a phone, then you can elect to receive your one-time passcode through email. You will be able to click a link to provide an email address during this step. By default you will be shown the email address within your online banking profile, and any change to this email address will be saved as your primary email address within your online banking profile.
Step 3: Finally, you will need to respond to a secondary challenge with any of your registered devices from Step 2. You will have the opportunity to go back to Step 2 to provide a new device if you realize you have made an input error. Once you have successfully completed the secondary challenge, you will see a confirmation message and you will have the option to have your computer (or mobile device) remembered so that you can skip this step in the future. Note: If you enabled a phone number for SMS in Step 2, you will not be challenged again given that SMS enrollment requires you successfully complete a challenge there; instead, you will be presented with a success message and can choose for your device to be remembered before entering online banking.

Lieutenant governor candidate Billy Nungesser has backed out of two upcoming forums with incumbent Jay Dardenne, campaign and event representatives said Thursday.
Nungesser scrapped a Pachyderms of Greater Baton Rouge event set for Friday evening as well as one sponsored by the Press Club of Baton Rouge on Monday afternoon because of "scheduling conflicts," campaign spokeswoman Amy Jones said.
"He is committed to attend an event for a charity foundation in New Orleans on Friday night and has a fundraising lunch on Monday," Jones said.
Nungesser, who is president of Plaquemines Parish, is challenging the re-election bid of Dardenne in the Oct. 22 elec-tion. Both Nungesser and Dardenne are Republicans.
Dardenne, a former secre-tary of state, won a special election for lieutenant governor last year to fill a vacancy created when Mitch Landrieu became New Orleans mayor. He is seeking his first four-term term.
The word surprised Harold LaCour, vice president of the Pachyderms group. He said as of Wednesday when he talked to a campaign scheduler Nungesser's appearance was on.
A reporter first advised him that Nungesser would not at-tend. "He sure didn't tell me about it," said LaCour on Thursday.
"We put publicity out in good faith. Now what do I do? Do you go in and tell all those people not to come," said LaCour. He said he had a near full to capac-ity audience ready to hear the candidates on the issues.
After talking with Nungesser's scheduler, LaCour said the campaign wanted to send a representative instead.
LaCour said the event will go on without Nungesser.
The Nungesser campaign also notified the Press Club that the candidate would not ap-pear, after first accepting, said Kimberly Vetter, a Press Club vice president and a reporter with The Advocate.
"We are trying to convince him to come," Vetter said.
Nungesser backs out of two forums

Night Work
by Laurie R. King
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Fun, but not completely satisfying. It's not that everything in a story needs to fit together perfectly, but some parts of the plot are linked rather tenuously, and the denouement feels rushed and contrived. I do like the characters, though, and find that reading "Night Work" helped explain some things I missed by reading "The Art of Detection" before this one.
OK for a quick somewhat mindless read. I chose the book because I like the author's series about the retired Sherlock Holmes. I did not like this one as much as the other series.
again with the rushed, dissatisfying ending. I don't remember the Mary Russell books having this problem.
metaphysics tag for various theological discussions, inc Hindu and Hebrew.
gender politics tag bc of sex/gender-based crimes.
A tough case of possible bride burning brings kate to suspecting the involvement os friends in an underground female vigilante group.I listened to this book and thought it was very well done.
I have managed to read about 20% of this book and am bored, bored and bored. I love King's Mary Russell books but this is the first Kate Martinelli book I have tackled and I am pretty sure that it is going to be the last.
Perhaps it will improve further into the book but I will need to be desperate for something to read before I find out.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0553578251, Mass Market Paperback)Laurie King's first Kate Martinelli mystery, A Grave Talent, won Best First Novel honors from both the Mystery Writers of America and the British Crime Writers' Association. In this fourth installment in the series, King once again displays her talent as both a prose stylist and a masterful plotter in a case that proves to be personally harrowing for her heroine.
While attending a school play one evening, Detective Martinelli gets what appears to be a routine page about a homicide. The murder victim is James Larsen, an airport baggage handler found in the Presidio, handcuffed, strangled, and with stun-gun burns on his chest. And apparently he had a sweet tooth, given the candies found in his pocket. When it comes out that Larsen was an abusive husband whose wife now lives in a shelter, Martinelli's list of suspects takes a distasteful turn. Could the perpetrator be connected with the Ladies of Perpetual Disgruntlement, the group of secretive women (or men) who've lately been terrorizing abusers and rapists around the city with their humorous, updated version of the tar-and-feather treatment? Could it be Larsen's wife, a mousy woman who, nonetheless, is clearly harboring some secrets? Could it be Roz Hall, Martinelli's social crusading feminist minister friend? In each case, rage would be justified, but not murder.
When two additional murder victims with similar profiles--and pockets full of candy--surface, the San Francisco media takes an interest in this latest instance of vigilante justice. The investigation is further complicated by Roz's very public interest in the case of a young Indian bride who she believes was murdered. As Martinelli and her partner Al Hawkins try to sort through the mire of emotional entanglements, personal politics, and public scrutiny, King deftly maneuvers her tale through several carefully crafted turns. The novel is also threaded with Hindu spirituality and images of the dark goddess Kali, a vengeful figure perfectly appropriate in a novel about victimized women striking back. --Patrick O'Kelley
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 17:57:51 -0400)
After her last harrowing case, Kate Martinelli is more than ready for routine police work and her newfound serenity with longtime lover Lee. But then she's called to the scene of a carefully executed murder, and everything changes.

The Save Mart Center is full of Bulldog spirit tonight.
The Fresno State volleyball team is taking on their crosstown rivals, the Fresno Pacific Sunbirds, in their sixth annual exhibition match. Last year the 'Dogs won their first sets against the Sunbirds and are ready to do even better this year.
The Fresno State Bulldog Beat is also in the house tonight bringing more beat than ever to entertain all of the fans in the building. They have two electric guitars and a drummer joining the traditional band to keep the Bulldog spirit in high gear.
To hype up the showdown even more, the Bulldogs have established tonight as "Greek Night" to encourage sororities and fraternities to come out and support the team.
"This is our first volleyball game as a fraternity, but it definitely will not be our last," said Forrest from the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. "We have talked about this night at our last two meetings and all of our pledges are coming with signs. We are excited to cheer on the volleyball team."
Whichever Greek group has the most attendance at tonight's game will win a date with the entire volleyball team.
Tonight is a great match because there are fans from all over the city of Fresno supporting these two great programs. The stands are filled with red and orange and the cheering is rattling the walls. The student-athletes are definitely feeling the pride for their schools in the atmosphere.
Be sure to check gobulldogs.com for live match updates throughout the evening.

Domestication Of Bacteria By Insects
by Rukmani Krishna on November 20, 2012 at 11:22 PM General Health News - G J E 4
Two years ago, a 71-year-old Indiana man impaled his hand on a branch after cutting down a dead crab apple tree. This caused an infection that led University Duke Medicine news.
Because the new bacterial strain is easy to grow in the laboratory and is related to Sodalis, a genus of bacteria that lives symbiotically inside insects' guts, it may be possible to genetically alter the new bacteria so they can block disease transmission by insects like tsetse flies and prevent crop damage by insect-borne viruses.
Advertisement"If we can genetically modify a bacterium that could be put back into insects, it could be used as a way to combat diseases transmitted by those insects," says Adam Clayton, a University of Utah Ph.D. student in biology and a first author of a study unveiling the new bacterium and its genome or "genetic blueprint."
The study will be published Thursday, Nov. 15 in the Public Library of Science's online journal PLoS Genetics.
It "shows the origin of the mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship between bacteria and insects," says biology Ph.D. student Kelly Oakeson, the study's other first author. "There are bacteria in the environment that form symbiotic relationships with insects. This is the first time such a bacterium has been found and studied."
Colin Dale, the study's senior author and an associate professor of biology, says the findings provide "a missing link in our understanding of how beneficial insect-bacteria relationships originate. Our work shows specifically that these relationships arise independently in each insect. This is a surprising conclusion: the insect picks up a pathogen that is widespread in the environment and then domesticates it. This happens independently in each insect."
