Higuain offers olive branch to Napoli coach, fans
Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain offered an olive branch to disgruntled Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri and well as fans of the club amid claims his controversial move to the Turin giants was motivated by money. Higuain, who hit a new Serie A record of 36 league goals last season, joined Juventus earlier this week on a five-year deal worth 90m euros ($98.8m, £75.3m) that will make him the league's highest-paid player on an estimated annual salary of 7.5m euros ($8.3m). Although the transfer itself had Napoli fans in a fizz, Higuain's failure to offer thanks and farewells to Napoli and their passionate 'tifosi' has gone down like a lead balloon in the southern Italian city.AFP News

IOC warned Rio on construction contracts 5 years ago: documents
By Stephen Eisenhammer RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - The International Olympic Committee warned organizers of the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro five years ago that construction contracts they drew up could give developers incentives to cut corners, presaging problems with athletes' housing that drew complaints from several countries this week, documents showed. Rio's city government, responsible for the vast majority of infrastructure projects for the Games, has used public-private partnerships, or PPPs, to get private firms to cover the cost of building venues in return for permission to build real estate on the sites. Rio's mayor, Eduardo Paes, has taken pride in the fact that 57 percent of the nearly 40 billion reais ($12.3 billion) spent on the Olympics is private money, garnered by using PPPs on a scale never before seen at a Games.Reuters

Mr. Worldwide and Breezy aren't afraid to spread their international love to an audience of sports fans…
Pitbull and Chris Brown performed a slam dunk at Sunday's NBA All-Star Game in Orlando as part of a high-octane halftime show.
The 31-year-old Cuban American singer/rapper, dressed in all-black, kicked off the high-energy performance by singing a medley of his hits, including "I Know You Want Me" and "Rain Over Me." Brown then joined Pitbull to sing their hit single "International Love" before breaking into a truncated version of his latest song "Turn Up the Music." Then, Breezy withdrew from the spotlight to let Pitbull, Ne-Yo and Nayer close out the halftime show with a performance of their oh-so-popular "Give Me Everything.
In no time, the halftime show felt like a block party; and Pitbull, surrounded by sultry backup dancers, was without a doubt the master of ceremonies.

Gay couples can marry Monday in O.C.
SANTA ANA – They got breakfast sandwiches and refreshers from Starbucks instead of a marriage license and wedding bliss from the Orange County Clerk-Recorder on Saturday morning.
The couple – John Sanders and Cesar Glavey – studied the notice on the glass window at the Old Courthouse in Santa Ana. They had seen a report in The Los Angeles Times that County Clerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen was going to open the building Saturday morning to meet the needs of same-sex couples eager to get married in the wake of a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision Friday afternoon that cleared the way for gay marriage in California.
But the news report was wrong.
Nguyen said Saturday morning that he was up until 4 a.m. traveling to his offices in Laguna Hills, Fullerton and Santa Ana to post signs letting people know that they first gay marriages wouldn't happen until 8 a.m. Monday.
"There is no way we'd change to Saturday morning that quick," he said. "But we will be ready Monday morning."
The confusion, Nguyen believes, stemmed from a news release issued by Clerk-Recorder's Office saying they'd be open July 27 – a Saturday – to meet the needs of the public. Nguyen thought that the Times and other media outlets had mistakenly tied that decision to the surprising 9th Circuit decision to lift the stay on banning same sex-marriage.
That decision came after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that defenders of the voter-approved ballot measure Proposition 8 didn't have the legal standing to defend the state statute. That 2008 proposition sought ban gay marriage after there was a brief window where the state did allow same-sex weddings.
The first couples to marry after the stay was lifted by the 9th Circuit were in San Francisco and Los Angeles late Friday.
Sanders and Glavey had planned a ceremonial wedding for next weekend and said they were simply anxious to get a jump on it Saturday.
Sanders, 41 from Anaheim, said he was disappointed they couldn't get the license Saturday morning. But both said they'd come back Monday morning to make it legal.
Jean O. Pasco, county clerk-recorder spokeswoman, said the office will be ready to go at 8 a.m., and that officials said they anticipate heavy demand Monday morning.

HTC emerges as possible manufacturer behind Google Nexus 8 (Flounder)
HTC is rumoured to be the, perhaps unlikely, manufacturer of Google's next tablet device, the much-anticipated Nexus 8.
A previous Chrome bug report cited a "Flounder" codename for the device many speculate as being the sequel to the Nexus 7. It appeared running a test build of Android and was widely reported.
Now an Android 4.4.3 changelist has listed the Flounder codename again, but with the addition of HTC alongside it. It leads some to believe that the Taiwanese company could be the manufacturer chosen by Google to replace Asus.
Either that or the Nexus 8 might be addition to the line and Asus will still be tasked to build a Nexus 7 2014 edition.
The changelist also reveals a second Google codename, "Molly". What that might refer to is anyone's guess.
Pocket Now speculates that it could be the Nexus 5 successor but there's little substantiated evidence to back that up and the site openly admits it's just a guess.

Styles avoids a suplex from Roode and responds with a belly to back suplex of his own. Styles goes to the apron and tries a springboard 450 but Roode avoids it. Styles almost rolls Roode up but follows through to Styles clash position. Roode fights it off and transitions into the cross face. Styles is able to slip out of it and get Roode in roll up position, but instead of a pin, Styles picks up Roode and powerbombs him to the mat.
Roode back body drops AJ to the apron, so AJ comes back in with a springboard flying forearm. AJ catches Roode in the corner, and Roode hits him with a low blow that also hits the ref. Roode goes for the pin but only gets two. AJ goes for a roll up but only gets two himself. AJ is able to connect with an enzugiri but Roode doesn't go down. Roode fights back but a big punch from AJ puts Roode down to the mat.
AJ punches Roode repeatedly, getting a second wind. AJ picks up Roode and crotches him on the top rope, causing him to fall to the outside. Styles goes for the suicide dive to the outside, but Roode is able to move and Styles crashes down to the floor. Both men make it back into the ring. Roode hits an immediate fisherman's suplex, bridging into a pin, but he's still only able to get a two count. Roode picks AJ up to his feet, and AJ comes up with a Pele kick out of nowhere. Styles teases the clash, but Roode pushes him down and pins him while holding the tights, getting a three count.

One in seven couples aged over 40 have never talked about money fearing rows, embarrassment and awkwardness
As many as one in seven British couples over the age of 40 admit they have never discussed their finances with each other, a new survey has found.
Fears of sparking an argument, embarrassment and awkwardness are the main reasons why men and women in relationships shy away from talking about money with their partners, researchers said.
They discovered that 15 per cent of the 2,000 people surveyed, for insurance firm Prudential, felt uncomfortable about talking about their financial future or plans for retirement with their spouse.
Research has found men and women in relationships shy away from talking about money with their partners
Nearly one in four said money was one of the main causes of arguments and rows, coming third only behind household chores and family disputes.
Even for the those couples who did talk about their finances, discussions on their long-term plans were likely to be side-lined in favour of everyday money worries, the survey said.
Daily living costs and household bills were the biggest talking point, with more than half of couples discussing these on a regular basis, followed by the cost of home improvements, large purchases and luxuries (34 per cent).
Only 22 per cent said they talked about their savings and investments, while just 16 per cent discussed their retirement income and pension planning.
Some 15 per cent of these couples also said they never intended talking about it in the future.
Vince Smith-Hughes, a retirement expert at Prudential, said couples who refuse to talk about their finances would lose out in the long run.
Nearly one in four couples said money was one of the main causes of arguments and rows, coming third only behind household chores and family disputes
'Money can be a tough topic to discuss at the best of times,' he said.
'Many couples prefer to steer clear of conversations about finances, and especially discussions about longer-term issues like retirement which might feel light-years away.
'Yet it really pays to be honest about your financial situation. Being open about discussing long-term financial planning as early as possible will help couples to ensure they can enjoy a comfortable retirement together.'
The survey also found that just 13 per cent of couples questioned had seen a financial adviser to discuss their retirement in the past five years, with the vast majority - 66 per cent - having never consulted an expert to talk about their financial future.
Mr Smith-Hughes added: 'A joint conversation with a financial adviser should help couples make the right pension savings decisions during their working lives, so that they'll have the right income to support their lifestyles in retirement.'

Dummy presents: 'Dummy: 21st Century Pop Music 2014'
We're releasing a new compilation, featuring a mixture of new, exclusive, and unreleased tracks from some of our favourite new artists.
The Brooklyn-based artist proves she's an enchanting talent, with or without the virtual smoke and mirrors.
Published: 04/12/12
Maintaining a healthy balance between faceless internet artistry and personable, up-front talent, Brooklyn singer-songwriter Empress Of (AKA Lorely Rodriguez) makes us fall for her all over again in this guard-down acoustic performance of her debut single Don't Tell Me.
Empress Of first appeared on Dummy back when her "colourminutes" project impressed us a couple of months ago; brief and scintillating, the audio-visual Youtube project was a great taster of what the imaginative new artist had to offer. Now, this live video from Yours Truly shows that even without the helping hand of a clever online release strategy, this is one performer whose delicate, careful power speaks for itself. Watch it above.
We're releasing a new compilation, featuring a mixture of new, exclusive, and unreleased tracks from some of our favourite new artists.

I have a 1971 Singer. It is pretty complicated for being so ancient.
I have 30 stiches and can do leather and denim. There are a bunch of attachments, including a quilters bar. It is attached to it's own gigantic piece of ugly 70's cabinet. blech! but as far as storage it's cool.
I love the machine - although it is in desperate need of a MAJOR tune-up (last was 1986).
I have this machine because my mom gave it to me when I moved to San Antonio. I used to go over her house and use it all the time - but now i live 150 miles away. Not so easy a trip now.
This machine was a gift to my mom form her much loved step mother when she was 11.
My mom and I used to share a Brothers serger and a Brothers computerized embroidery sewing machine that we went halvies on.
But we pawned them both when my dad walked out on my mom while she was giving birth toi my youngest brother and we had to buy groceries and such.
man I miss those machines.... there is sooooo much I can't do now that I don;t have them.

Sabrina , mom to 4 fab kids!
I have an ollllllld Singer treadle (? sp?) machine that I got from my grandmother....it needs a tune up and some new wiring, but other than that, I've been told it still works. Should I keep it and fix it or buy a newer mechanical machine?
I SO want to sew, but haven't used a machine since I was a kid and I don't have a clue where to begin in buying one.
ANY help would be soooo appreciated! thanks...

As seeing a panda in real life was on my bucket list, it seemed obvious to visit the Kobe Oji Zoo. My visit was around lunchtime and it was very hot and I guess this added to the lethargy of the animals, which made them appear sad. Indeed, I saw several animals rocking, which was upsetting. However, I am no...
This was the cutest zoo I have ever been with my almost one & only opportunity to see Panda <3 Definitely recomended
I visited the zoo with a friend and it was free to enter because of some event, so I'm not sure what the prices usually are. There are many animals to see but the enclosures are very small compared to other zoos, and some of the animals looked visibly distressed, but I suppose that's to be expected as not all...
We were very disheartened to see all of the animals in too small enclosures, some like the flamingos over bread and over populated in their enclosure. One of the elephants was crying, pacing and holding its own tusk the whole time. I spent 20 minutes too long in there.
Visited the zoo on a Saturday. Arrived at 9:30 in the morning and the zoo was busy with visitors. Spent the next three hours with the family seeing all the animals and attractions. Stayed for lunch and a little extra for the little one to enjoy the rides. Good place to spend half a day with kids.Suggest arriving early. Parking...
Oji Zoo is in perfect location. It's really great place for enjoyment. Polar bear, normal bear, tiger, dolphins, many kinds of monkey, panda, ostrich and many more are main attraction of this place.
Entrance fee is SO CHEAP compare to what we're used to in Australia(Nearly $50 per person!), I think it was around 600 yen? Many kinds of animals and you can get real close as it's not very crowded. Loved the monkeys and the orangtan... She kept kissing my hubby through the glass and kicking me through the glass!! I think...
And as I child with my father and as a father with my child it still amazes me ......
It's 5 usd per person child is free and your child see all the animals goes on slides does some attractions and a beautiful 5-6 hours with lunch and Ice cream goes by and the park keeps upgrading and adding new...
Easily accessible by train and a short 10 min walk, Kobe Oji Zoo has a very decent selection of exhibits which include pandas, the big cats, koalas and more, minus the waiting lines! It is set-up for children which means it is safe for them to run around, enjoy the fun park / rides section, and the "petting zoo" section...
This zoo has a good variety of species including Giant Panda, big cats, bears, chimps and orangutans.
All the animals looked in very good condition and all looked like they were treated very well.We spent about 3 hours there however if you had children there was a small fun fair so you could spend half a day there easily.

This is a sturdy car cover (so far). It also keeps water off your car....my previous cover did not do that, it is a good feature to have.
Reviewed By Ray S (Huntington Beach, CA) Reviewed for a 2006 Chrysler 300 —7/26/2016 12:33 PM
I have had two of these for my two cars. Both had to be replaced at 2 years. The sun eats them up. I live in a mobile home and the cars are under a car port. They both get afternoon sun. I try to rotate the cars so both sides get exposed evenly. But, after two years, they start to rot out. The company has replaced both of them once. Now, I just purchased a new one for my big car. I will have to replace the small car cover in another year I'm sure.Still a great cover for the money.

Dec 11 Standard & Poor's on Wednesday said Facebook Inc will join its S&P 500 stock index after the close of trading on Dec. 20, cementing the social media network's rise into one of the biggest, most powerful U.S. companies.
The decision follows Facebook reporting its fourth straight profitable quarter in October, one of the criteria that S&P uses to determine eligibility for the index.
Facebook shares rose 4.3 percent to $51.51 following S&P's announcement after regular market hours. Shares often rise after a company is tapped for inclusion in the S&P 500, because many investors track the index and buy shares of companies that enter it.
The Menlo Park, California-based company's shares had closed Wednesday down 87 cents at $49.38, about 30 percent above their $38 initial offering price in May 2012, and giving it a roughly $121 billion market value, Reuters data show.
S&P said on Dec. 20 it will also add marketing solutions company Alliance Data Systems Inc and floor covering company Mohawk Industries Inc to the S&P 500, and remove Abercrombie & Fitch Co, JDS Uniphase Corp and Teradyne Inc. Facebook will also replace Williams Cos in the S&P 100 index of large U.S. companies. Williams will remain in the S&P 500. (Reporting by Jonathan Stempel in New York; Editing by Bernard Orr)

Reviews of Photo Canvas Prints
Fantastic? What a brilliant service. I ordered it on Thursday afternoon and it had arrived by Friday lunch time.
Easy to order. Fast delivery. Fantastic canvas print. Highly recommended.
Excellent. Really helpful staff, fantastic product and a very quick turnaround. Thank-you!
Really pleased with canvas, it's lovely, would highly recommend
I was very pleased with the finished product & the quick delivery
Canvas Prints Quality With Dye Sublimation
With our perfect likeness and vibrant photographic reproduction, your photos will receive the quality of print they deserve. And the finish to the sides and corners of the canvas means that the frame will not crack, tear, or split – even after many years of use. We use woven canvas and the image is fused using dye sublimation into the fibres of the canvas textile.
Hand Build Quality Canvas
Our superb reproduction is of such a high standard. Unlike many other canvas companies, we print onto real woven canvas, a heavy canvas stock. We use dye sublimation printing, which provides a deep and rich print. When it's a case of your most precious photos, the ones you never want to forget,
Wedges Are Important For High Calibre Canvas
We use 8 wedges for each canvas (many other companies will tell you that 4 is enough, but it really isn't) and FSC stretcher bars. A rigid, robust stretched canvas print will give you peace of mind.
Robust And Beautiful Quality Canvas Prints
Because our photo canvas art prints are all made in our London factory, with high quality canvas printing and build quality, few can catch us on delivery, print and service. Order and upload your photos before 2pm (Mon to Fri) and your canvas prints will be despatched that day, all ready to hang in your home the very next day. Make sure you chose your preferred delivery option when you are prompted in the order pages.
Special Offer 3 for 2
Buy 2, get 1 FREE. Applies to all standard photo canvases and montages. Just add 2 to your order and a 3rd quality canvas print is added automatically. You choose any 3 any sizes and the cheapest is free! Prices start from just £29 for a 30cm square photo canvas so if you buy 2 you will receive 3 at only £19.33 each.
Photo Canvas Example Prints Prices
Next Day canvas prints UK - delivery 2pm cut-off. Other sizes up to 500cm can be made.
Canvas Frame Depth and Wrap Options
You have a choice of frame depth - either 2.5cm or 4.5cm - and also a choice of wrap for your canvas. We use gallery wrap as standard, where the image continues and is wrapped around the sides of the frame (bleed). But we also offer a mirror or no wrap if you prefer, if this suits your image more. Read about wrap options.
Personalise Your Canvas Print
Add a message to the back of your canvas wall art if you like for the ultimate bespoke photo gift!
An in-depth look at our canvas prints. We have high quality stretcher frames. They won't warp - guaranteed. They can hang in the bathroom without problem. And they are FSC certified from forests managed with consideration for people, wildlife and the environment.

Some useful info here!
Gallery wrap, mirror wrap and 'no wrap' explained
We like to gallery wrap our prints if we can. See this page where we explain what that means.

using yotoden's animation and having a good story, blood reign is a very cool ninja anime. the story is pretty much original, the fight scenes are very cool, and the blood and gore is just what you would expect from a ninja anime. the song sung in the first part is really cool. the only problem with this title is that some parts in the first one don't make sense, but are later revealed in the second. overall, it may not be as good as ninja scroll, but this is worth seeing.

About submenus
About submenus
As you are meandering your way through the Library panel, you will find that when there is a menu, there is an accompanying submenu. That's what we're going to look at in this movie. So I've added this Pro menu from the Government set to our project here, and we have all these different links. Let's say, for example, that the Investors movie isn't actually a movie, but several movies of different investors. So what we could do is double-click the Pro Submenu. And essentially, what we have is a menu based on the same visual theme, but the opportunity to choose scenes.
That's typically what we use submenus for is for scene selections. These little buttons here are video buttons that will allow you to put thumbnails from your videos so that people could actually see different scenes. We'll talk about how to do that little bit later. So what I would do in this case would be to double-click the Pro menu to open it up, select the Investors button, and then in the Pr...

A potential cure for Parkinson's disease involving pig cells being put into a person's brain has gained approval to be tested in humans for the first time.
Health Minister Tony Ryall gave Living Cell Technologies the go-ahead yesterday to test the safety and clinical effect of NTCELL in New Zealand.
Ethical approval is the next hurdle, but the company's chief executive, Andrea Grant, is confident the trial will get under way next year.
"This trial is an interesting one from an ethical standpoint, the reason being when you look from the outside at all the trial design - which is to take the neuron cells from the pig brain, encapsulate them and place them inside the patient's brain via a catheter - you think 'wow, that's all very radical'," Dr Grant said.
"But when you break each of the steps out, each one has been done before."
The NTCELL process was successfully tested in rats and monkeys. Brain cells from Auckland Island pigs were used as they could help protect the brain and repair damaged nerve tissue, Dr Grant said.
"The unprecedented results of our preclinical studies suggest that NTCELL can protect brain tissue which would otherwise die, potentially delaying or even preventing the effects of Parkinson's."
The ultimate goal for this research was a cure, she said.
About 10,000 New Zealanders have Parkinson's, which is the second-most-common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, after Alzheimer's.
Reduced dopamine levels in the brain lead to symptoms such as tremor, rigidity and slowness of movement.
The effectiveness of current treatments, which focus on dopamine replacement, declines as the disease progresses. There is no way to reverse or slow the degeneration of the brain.
Parkinson's New Zealand chief executive Deirdre O'Sullivan said the trial was "really exciting", but "like any new research we're always a bit cautious".
"Obviously any step from animal model to a human trial is massive and it shows that there's a lot of work, research and belief behind it to get to this stage. There's thousands of trials that never get past the petrie dish."
She said it won't be hard to find four people in the late stages of the disease to take part, as a large proportion of sufferers were willing to be involved in new research.
Dr Barry Snow, who leads the Auckland Movement Disorders Clinic, is the principal investigator for the trial, which is expected to take 18 months.
He also said the trial was "exciting" as it could open the door to new options for treating Parkinson's.
Dr Grant said the people taking part in the trial would need to have had Parkinson's for four years.
This procedure is similar to the NTCELL treatment, but instead of putting electrodes on the brian, the pig cells are inserted.
B rain cells from the disease-free Auckland Island pig herd will be transplanted into a person's brain via a catheter.
When transplanted, the naturally occurring "support" cells may help protect the brain and repair damaged nerve tissue.
The cells will be encapsulated with a substance to prevent rejection. Living Cell Technologies chief executive Andrea Grant said that unlike previous trials, this one would put a "mixture of different neurons" into the dead part of the brain.
"We're encouraging all of these different cell types to grow back, rather than just one."
Four people will receive the pig cells, which help produce cerebrospinal fluid as well as nerve growth factors. They will be assessed every two weeks.
At six months they will have a brain scan to see if there are any changes at the cellular level.
Clinicians will then decide what to do: another implant, deep brain stimulation or nothing.
This will be followed up by another scan at 12 months.

Product Description
"An individual's personal experience can influence the characteristics of his or her offspring. Some of the ways in which this happens would have seemed heretical in the past. Eva Jablonka and Marion Lamb's stimulating new book successfully challenges some of the old orthodoxies. I recommend it warmly to anybody with a serious interest in developmental and evolutionary biology."--Sir Patrick Bateson, Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge, author of "Design for a Life: How Behavior and Personality Develop"
About the Author
Eva Jablonka is Professor at the Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas at Tel Aviv University. Marion J. Lamb was Senior Lecturer at Birkbeck College, University of London, before her retirement. Jablonka and Lamb have collaborated on a number of journal articles and books, including Epigenetic Inheritance and Evolution (1995).

I was particularly impressed that the authors generously devote a lot of space to the arguments of their opponents, in the form of a series of dialogues between the authors and an imaginary proponent of conventional gene-centred evolution. These dialogues are in my view the best part of the book, and are even amusing at times (quite a big achievement for a science book!) Finally, the authors do what many writers should do but don't, which is to bring up holes in their theory and then suggest research which could plug these gaps. They even find some time to discuss the social implications of a "four-dimensional" approach to evolution.
If you want a book about the future of evolutionary theory that's evenhanded but still puts forward interesting new ideas, I highly recommend this book.
Luis CS
Lisbon, Portugal
Thesis: Jablonka and Lambs thesis is that evolution is taking place in four distinct areas: genetic, epigenetic, behavioral and symbolic. They refute the standard dogma, that evolution is only possible on stochastic changes of the gene. The picture is a lot more complex as not only the phenotypes of nature have evolved but also the mechanisms that produce them.
The way the modern synthesis came into place needs to be looked as under a historical perspective. The idea of evolution was certainly in the air during the late 19th century. Unfortunately, no one including Darwin had a clear idea about how the mechanisms work. Instrumental in paving the way for the modern dogma was Weissman, who categorically denied an influence of the phenotype to the genotype. At the turn of the century Mendel hit the scene and it was clear that there must be something like a double stranded gene. During 1952 Crick and Watson discovered the double helix structure of the DNA. Furthermore it was discovered that radiation can change DNA. Hence it was assumed that all change leading to changes in the DNA and phenotype are stochastic events that are then selected by nature.
However, it was long understood that epigenetic mechanisms are at work in the forming of embryos. During embryo formation all cells have got the same DNA. Yet proteins formed are completely different during the formation of the embryo - otherwise it would be impossible to have a structured organism forming. The basic questions that was not asked - if these mechanisms are at work for the formation of embryos in any vertebrate and other multi cell organisms - why should they not be used by nature to change an organism over several generations and adapt to volatile environment?Read more ›

From USA Today Bestselling Author Kathleen Eagle comes her classic western romance between a passionate cowboy and a rancher's daughter in Wyoming—
The Last True Cowboy
A cowboy is as good as his word, but what if the words are "I love you"?
The first moment Julia Weslin sees K. C. Houston, she senses her world is about to be turned upside-down. The long, lean cowboy is the last of an untamed breed of men who live by their word and love by their own set of rules. And for Julia, who has returned to Wyoming and the cash-strapped High Horse Ranch, K. C. is a dream come true. He can tame a spirited horse with just a single touch, he offers to help save the ranch, and he awakens in her a need she thought she'd lost. But Julia knows that this sexy drifter would never break a promise, and while he's filled her days with loving and her nights with passion . . . he's never told her that he'd stay forever.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
From the beginning it was the woman.
The rest of the High Horse setup wasn't anything K.C. Houston hadn't seen along the monochromatic trail of ranches he'd worked for from Montana to Texas. "Prettiest ranch in Wyoming," the owner had told him. Maybe it was, but meadows were meadows and mountains were mountains. It was the woman standing next to the rail fence that drew his fancy directly. Women often did, but this one hit him hard, right from the beginning.
He turned the radio off and rolled the window down as he slowed his pickup. A chilly spring breeze slid into his shirt. He'd been headed for the house, but the woman was closer and far more compelling. He thought about calling out to her, asking for directions he didn't need just to get her to turn his way, but he didn't. He just watched. She stood motionless, while the wind made a fluttering flag of her burnished brown hair and a loosely pegged tent of her white shirt. Her intensity captured him completely.
His pickup purred as he let it crawl over the gravel road. He felt like a crude tourist walking in on a pilgrim saying her prayers. Let me distract you, he thought. Turn this way and let me pull you down to earth. But she simply stared, as if something on one of the snowcapped mountain peaks were calling to her, claiming every receptor in her body. Whatever it was, she was lonesome for it. She was yearning for it, leaning toward it like a flower in a window. Whatever it was, there was some rash and equally lonesome part of him that envied it.
He dismissed the thought of speaking to her. Had she turned, had she even moved, he would have taken it as acue, and he would have stepped up to the plate. But she didn't. She remained inaccessible, like a painting he'd seen once and filed in the unfailing scrapbook of his memory. A mystifying feature in an otherwise familiar landscape, she was out of this world, beyond his reach. That fact alone made his palms itch.
Her image lingered in his mind as he drove on, once again heading for the house. He knew she wasn't his prospective boss's wife. He remembered something about a sister, but he'd funneled the family talk in one ear and out the other. What K.C. knew for sure about the man he had come to Wyoming to work for was that he, too, loved horses. Women, no, at least not the way K.C. loved women. Horses, definitely. It was K.C.'s business to recognize the symptoms. He earned his living off other people's horse fever, and Ross Weslin had the fever about as bad as it could get. But a wife was doubtful. If he had one, she was an unhappy woman.
In fact, if the woman at the fence was Mrs. Weslin, K.C. knew right then and there that he was bound to get himself fired before the summer was over. He could overlook a lot of things, but not an unhappy woman. Not for a whole damn summer. Women and horses were K.C.'s favorite kind of folks. He had superb instincts about both. Give him five minutes with a sullen woman or a skittish filly and he'd know exactly what she needed. He also had good instincts about fulfilling those needs, and he had turned his instincts into an art form. It wasn't the kind of art a person could hang on the wall, but K.C. liked to think that making a gentle-hearted creature happy, even temporarily, required an artist's touch.
But he had come to Wyoming for Weslin's horses, not his women. He got paid only for working his fine magic with horses, and his pockets, like his gas tank, were flirting with E. He was beginning to wonder where the Weslins kept their horses. Empty acres of spring-green pasture flanked the road, which followed the course of Quicksilver Creek. K.C. spotted a coal-black Angus bull using the trunk of a scrawny poplar tree as a scratching post, but he wasn't seeing much activity around the outbuildings and split-rail corrals. And he'd yet to see a horse, except on the sign above the gatepost. He was still looking as he drove across the narrow bridge that spanned the swollen creek and headed toward a copse of crabapples and old cottonwoods.
It was a man's house, a massive structure that stood amid the trees like a bird with its wings outstretched, too heavy to fly. Two single-story annexes, faced with a layer of gray river rock topped with one of tan fieldstone, flanked its main portion, where a second story of pine logs rose above the stone. Red bluffs faced the creek on the east, and the mountains rose to the west. K.C. liked the way the house fit right into its surroundings like craggy leavings from some prehistoric geological upheaval. Someday he'd have himself a house. Maybe not as big, but it would have that natural look.
A rock path, already tufted with spring grass, led him to the steps of the huge stone-pillared front porch. The front door creaked, and a slim, blond, sleepy-eyed woman poked her head out. Her scowl melted when K.C. pushed his hat back with a forefinger and smiled.
"Afternoon, ma'am. I'm looking for Ross Weslin,"
"Ross is..." She gave him a quick, skeptical onceover. "Why?"
"He asked me to come to work for him. The name's K.C. Houston."
None of this appeared to be ringing any bells with her, but her interest in his message was clearly secondary. She liked his looks. Most women did.
"I train horses."
The bemused look in her eyes didn't change. She stepped onto the slate porch, her shapely legs and small feet bared under the trim black-and-white Sunday dress she'd obviously been napping in. He figured she must have been curled up somewhere when he'd come knocking on the door, and he pictured her smooth, pale legs folded up to her breast, her dress just covering her bottom...The Last True Cowboy.

Sink To Announce 2010 Plans Soon
A group of devoted fans have already started a Draft Alex Sink website, but they were hoping Florida's CFO would run for Governor. Turns out she may have her eye on Washington instead. The Hill is reporting that Sink will make an announcement very soon as to the future of her political career, but thinks she has her eyes on Mel Martinez's Senate seat and not Charlie Crist's Governor's mansion.
In very early, speculative polling Sink is ahead of Martinez already in the 2010 race. Charlie's high approval ratings make him seem immune to challenge, so running for Senate instead of Gov seems like a smart move. However, she could face a major primary battle for the Democratic party's nomination in either case.
