Oliver Marc Hartwich
19 May 2009 | OP114

Fairness in a Liberal Society
Richard Epstein

Bacon Bites
Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 30 mins
This recipe was featured in an email today from the www.kingarthurflour.com website and has gotten rave reviews! Superbowl food!!! :-) "These little savory gems are simple to put together in advance, can go directly from the freezer into the oven, and combine three of the most irresistible snack foods on earth: bread, cheese, and bacon. You can vary the filling in any number of ways (see our tips, below). Make sure you let the bites sit for 5 minutes before serving; the cream cheese gets mighty hot, and you don't want to burn anyone's mouth."
Ingredients Nutrition
- 12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1⁄3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1⁄2 cup roasted red pepper, diced
- 3⁄4 cup scallion, sliced, white and green
- 20 slices white bread, soft
- 1 lb lean bacon
- Mix together the cheeses until smooth. Stir in the peppers and scallions until evenly distributed; set aside.
- Trim the crusts from the slices of bread.
- Once the bread is trimmed, spread the slices with the filling, covering it completely.
- Roll the bread up from the short side, pressing down just enough to make it stick to itself.
- Wrap a slice of bacon and wrap it around the roll, overlapping the bacon to cover the bread completely. If you need more than one bacon slice, tuck the end of the second bacon slice under the end of the first. Trim the bacon when you get to the top of the roll.
- Freeze the wrapped rolls for 30 minutes to firm them up.
- To bake, preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment paper.
- Slice the rolls in thirds and place on the baking sheet, cut side down. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (5 minutes longer if baking from frozen), until the bacon is crisp and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and place on a serving platter; let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

About the Author
J.R. Ward is the author of over twenty previous novels, including those in her #1 New York Times bestselling series, The Black Dagger Brotherhood. There are more than 15 million copies of Ward�s novels in print worldwide and they have been published in 25 different countries around the world. She lives in the South with her family.
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Two houses down from Detective Thomas DelVecchio's, Internal Affairs Officer Sophia Reilly was behind the wheel of her unmarked and partially blinded.
"By all that is holy..." She rubbed her eyes. "Do you not believe in curtains?"
As she prayed for the image of a spectacularly naked colleague to fade from her retinas, she seriously rethought her decision to do the stakeout herself. She was exhausted, for one thing—or had been before she'd seen just about everything Veck had to offer.
Take out the just.
One bene was that she was really frickin' awake now, thank you very much—she might as well have licked two fingers and shoved them into a socket: a full-frontal like that was enough to give her the perm she'd wanted back when she was thirteen.
Muttering to herself, she dropped her hands into her lap again. And gee whiz, as she stared at the dash, all she saw... was everything she'd seen.
Yeah, wow, on some men, no clothes was so much more than just naked.
And to think she'd almost missed the show. She'd parked her unmarked and just called in her position when the upstairs lights had gone on and she had gotten a gander at the vista of a bedroom. Easing back into her seat, it hadn't dawned on her exactly where the unobstructed view was going to take them both—she'd just been interested that it appeared to be nothing but a bald lightbulb on the ceiling of what had to be the master suite.
Then again, bachelor pad decorating tended to be either storage-unit crammed or Death Valley–barren.
Veck's was obviously the Death Valley variety.
Except suddenly she hadn't been thinking about interior decorating, because her suspect had stepped into the bathroom and flipped the switch.
Hellllllllo, big boy.
In too many ways to count.
"Stop thinking about it... stop thinking about—"
Closing her eyes again didn't help: If she'd reluctantly noticed before how well he filled out his clothes, now she knew exactly why. He was heavily muscled, and given that he didn't have any hair on his chest, there was nothing to obscure those hard pecs and that six-pack and the carved ridges that went over his hips.
Matter of fact, when it came to manscaping, all he had was a dark stripe that ran between his belly button and his...
You know, maybe size did matter, she thought.
"Oh, for chrissakes."
In an attempt to get her brain focused on something, anything more appropriate, she leaned forward and looked out the opposite window. As far as she could tell, the house directly across from him had privacy shades across every available view. Good move, assuming he paraded around like that every night.
Then again, maybe the husband had strung those puppies up so that his wife didn't get a case of the swoons.
Bracing herself, she glanced back at Veck's place. The lights were off upstairs and she had to hope now that he was dressed and on the first floor, he stayed that way.
God, what a night.
Was it possible Veck had torn apart that suspect? She didn't think so.
But he did—even though he couldn't remember a thing.
Whatever, she was still waiting for any evidence that came from the scene, and there were coyotes in those woods. Bears. Cats of the non–Meow Mix variety. Chances were good that the suspect had come walking through there with the scent of dried blood on his clothes and something with four paws had viewed him as a Happy Meal. Veck could well have tried to step in and been shoved to the side. After all, he'd been rubbing his temples like he'd had pain there, and God knew head trauma had been known to cause short-term memory loss.
The lack of physical evidence on him supported the theory; that was for sure.
And yet...
God, that father of his. It was impossible not to factor him in even a little.
Like every criminal justice major, she'd studied Thomas DelVecchio Sr. as part of her courses—but she'd also spent considerable time on him in her deviant-psych classes. Veck's dad was your classic serial killer: smart, cunning, committed to his "craft," utterly remorseless. And yet, having watched videos of his interviews with police, he came across as handsome, compelling, and affable. Classy. Very non-monster.
But then again, like a lot of psychopaths, he'd cultivated an image and sustained it with care. He'd been very successful as a dealer of antiquities, although his establishment in that haughty, lofty world of money and privilege had been a complete self-invention. He'd come from absolutely nothing, but had had a knack for charming rich people—as well as a talent for going overseas and coming back with ancient artifacts and statues that were extremely marketable. It wasn't until the killings had started to surface that his business practices came under scrutiny, and to this day, no one had any idea where he'd found the stuff he had—it was almost as if he'd had a treasure trove somewhere in the Middle East. He certainly hadn't helped authorities sort things out, but what were they going to do to him? He was already on death row.
Not for much longer, though, evidently.
What had Veck's mother been like—
The knock on the window next to her head was like a shot ringing out, and she had her weapon palmed and pointed to the sound less than a heartbeat afterward.
Veck was standing in the street next to her car, his hands up, his wet hair glossy in the streetlights.
Lowering her weapon, she put her window down with a curse.
"Quick reflexes, Officer," he murmured.
"Do you want to get shot, Detective?"
"I said your name. Twice. You were deep in thought."
Thanks to what she'd seen in that bathroom, the flannel shirt and academy sweats he had on seemed eminently removable, the kind of duds that wouldn't resist a shove up or a pull down. But come on, like she hadn't seen every aisle in his grocery store already?
"You want my clothes now?" he said as he held up a trash bag.
"Yes, thank you." She accepted the load through her window and put the things down on the floor. "Boots, too?"
As he nodded, he said, "Can I bring you some coffee? I don't have much in my kitchen, but I think I can find a clean mug and I got instant."
"Thanks. I'm okay."
There was a pause. "There a reason you're not looking me in the eye, Officer?"
I just saw you buck naked, Detective. "Not at all." She pegged him right in the peepers. "You should get inside. It's chilly."
"The cold doesn't bother me. You going to be here all night?"
"On whether I am, right."
He nodded, and then glanced around casually like they were nothing but neighbors chatting about the weather. So calm. So confident. Just like his father.
"Can I be honest with you?" he said abruptly.
"You'd better be, Detective."
"I'm still surprised you let me go."
She ran her hands around the steering wheel. "May I be honest with you?"
"I let you go because I really don't think you did it."
"I was at the scene and I had blood on me."
"You called nine-one-one, you didn't leave, and that kind of death is very messy to perpetrate."
"Maybe I cleaned up."
"There wasn't a shower in those woods as far as I saw."
Do. Not. Think. Of. Him. Naked.
When he started to shake his head like he was going to argue, Reilly cut him off. "Why are you trying to convince me I'm wrong?"
That shut him up. At least for a moment. Then he said in a low voice, "Are you going to feel safe tailing me."
"Why wouldn't I?"
For the first time, emotion bled through his cool expression, and her heart stopped: There was fear in his eyes, as if he didn't trust himself.
"Veck," she said softly, "is there anything I don't know."
He crossed his arms over that big chest of his and his weight went back and forth on his hips as if he were thinking. Then he hissed, and started rubbing his temple.
"I've got nothing," he muttered. "Listen, just do us both a favor, Officer. Keep that gun close by."
He didn't look back as he turned and walked across the street.
He wasn't wearing any shoes, she realized.
Putting up the window, she watched him go into the house and shut the door. Then the lights in the house went out, except for the hallway on the second floor.
Settling in, she eased down in her seat and stared at all those windows. Shortly thereafter, a massive shadow walked into the living room—or rather, appeared to be dragging something? Like a couch?
Then Veck sat down and his head disappeared as if he were stretching out on something.
It was almost like they were sleeping side by side. Well, except for the walls of the house, the stretch of scruffy spring lawn, the sidewalk, the asphalt, and the steel cage of her Crown Victoria.
Reilly's lids drifted down, but that was a function of the angle of her head. She wasn't tired and she wasn't worried about falling asleep. She was wide-awake in the dark interior of the car.
And yet she reached over and hit the door-lock button.
Just in case.
Laying his hands on Mahone's bloody chest, Caleb closed his eyes. Bullets still fired around him, some coming too damn close. Damn it, Riley's men had to get out before the gas reached them in the crawl space. "Get out!" he yelled.
"The vampire teleported," Riley shouted. "We're clear."
With a sigh of relief, Caleb willed his consciousness into a trance and called to his ancestors for their healing help. He saw them in the colors that swirled behind his eyelids and felt their presence in the heat that immediately suffused his body. Their voices chanted, low and soothing, directing him to keep one hand directly over Mahone's heart and the other over his eyes. Caleb willed the healing heat building within his body to transfer to Mahone. As it did, he took some of Mahone's pain into himself.
He felt his own heartbeat slow.
His limbs weakened.
His body began to shake with the effort of remaining upright, and he forced even breaths, sensing he needed to maintain contact far longer than he ever had.
Come on, come on, he urged himself. Hang in there.
The dizziness came next. Then the nausea. He could feel his lungs filling with the gas that swirled around them and knew his time was running out.
His body jerked as he coughed, and the movement threatened to pull his hands away from Mahone.
They had to get out of there, but if he disconnected too soon, it would all be for nothing. Mahone would die. Hell, Caleb would probably die, as well, too weak from the healing to get out on his own.
But then he felt Mahone's chest rising strongly and his pulse beating regularly, and he knew the healing had worked. The heat slowly left his body, and the voices of his ancestors faded. Caleb whispered his thanks, then opened his eyes. Swiftly, he reached up and unhooked Mahone's chains from the manacles around his wrists. Mahone groaned and slumped over just as Caleb caught him and threw him fireman-style over his shoulder.
Caleb staggered a few steps before he turned, intending to carry Mahone to the doorway. Halfway there, his knees buckled. He lost his grip on Mahone, and the man slipped and rolled a couple of feet away. Grunting, Caleb fell on all fours, his head hanging, his lungs seizing up.
He'd waited too long. They were both going to die in this warehouse, just like the FBI scientists who'd discovered the vamp antidote only to be killed because of it. He looked up, eyes watering, searching the room, thankful that Team Blue had obeyed his orders even as he regretted the fact no one was going to be able to help him.
But then he saw her. Wraith. Running toward him. He tried to open his mouth. To yell at her to stop.
His heart squeezed. Damn her for putting herself at such risk. He didn't know how the gas would affect a wraith. Since it worked so well on vamps, immortality had nothing to do with the effects. But he couldn't make a sound, and Wraith kept coming. She knelt beside him and pulled him up. She was yelling something, and he tried to make it out.
". . . have to walk! I need to get Mahone. Can you walk, O'Flare?"
She was glancing frantically between him and Mahone, the indecision on her face readily apparent. She couldn't carry them both out of there before the gas ended them.
"Leave me . . ." he tried to say, but again no sound came out. It didn't matter. Wraith understood.
She grabbed him by his shirt and shook him, hanging on when he began to slide, practically keeping him on his feet. "No fucking way, O'Flare. I didn't survive Korea just to come back and lose you in the States. Stay on your feet and move. You're walking out of here. Got it?"
The vehemence in her voice roused him enough to nod. She released him, and although he swayed on his feet, he didn't fall. Quickly, she grabbed Mahone, carrying him in the same lift O'Flare had used. Then, amazingly, she positioned herself next to him and ordered, "Lean against me if you need to. Start walking. Now."
Caleb walked. He didn't know how he did it, but he managed to put one foot in front of the other. At one point, he did have to lean on her, and he sensed how it slowed her down, but she didn't move away. She stayed with him.
Until they made it out into the open air. He heard shouts and the sound of stomping feet just as he collapsed.
When he came to, he was being loaded into an ambulance. Riley's face hovered above him. "Mahone?" Caleb rasped out.
"Still alive," Riley said. "But I don't know if he's going to stay that way."
From the worried expression on the man's face, Caleb knew his own chance of survival was also in question.
"Wraith?" he asked, grabbing on to the man's shirt when he didn't answer. "What about the wraith?"
Riley shook his head. "I don't know. She passed out, same as you. No pulse, remember? No breath. No way to tell if she's alive or dead. They took her in another cab. Your guess is as good as mine."

I would describe this as a romance wrapped in urban fantasy. The mix works though, along with Ward's usual hilarious male banter, excessive product placement, seriously hot love scenes and a few major surprises -which we should see the trickle down effect from for several books to come. I also feel that she finally got the romance right here; I enjoyed Veck and Reilly and found myself rooting for their HEA.
Through some unique world building we also get a much closer look at arch angels Nigel and Colin(who are growing on me) and of course our sexy saviour Jim and his fallen angel sidekicks Adrian and Eddie... (Sigh)
Lastly I have to mention Devina. She is just awesome, probably Ward's best female character to date and a superb villain. Yes she is evil but she is also so much more, what with her therapy sessions, hoarding issues, insecurities and school girl crush on Jim -which let me tell you he uses to his full advantage. Alls fair in love and war.Read more ›
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
That being said, in his own novel, Veck makes for a pretty interesting lead. He is haunted by the legacy of his serial killer father and a darkness that he has always carried within himself. And as our book begins, he is convinced that he is responsible for the attack on another serial killer named Kroner. Reilly is the Internal Affairs officer sent in to investigate. And she becomes his temporary partner while the police try to figure out what really happened to Kroner. Together, they begin to investigate the disappearance of Sissy Barten... the young virgin Devina killed in Covet. Veck thinks Kroner had something to do with it, since Sissy disappeared around the same time as his other victims.
In the meantime, Jim is determined he will find Sissy's body and somehow get her soul back from Devina. And his single-minded focus is causing a rift with his back-up angels Ad & Eddie. At times, the Jim and Sissy vibe comes across as a borderline romantic possibility... which bothers me. Sissy is 19. Jim is 40. Yes, they're actually both dead, but it's still squicky. And with Veck working Sissy's disappearance (and obviously with him being the soul in need of saving for the book) Jim has twice the motivation to be a part of his life.
I found that I liked the storyline of Veck's internal struggle, though how Devina got her hooks into him via his father wasn't entirely clear to me. As with all Ward books, the sex was rockin' -- though I was disappointed with Reilly for her lack of faith at a pivotal time. The real meat of the book for me, though, centered on Jim, Ad & Eddie. Some pretty powerful developments take place within their dynamic and we can expect the repercussions to continue into future books. We're also tipped off on the identity of the soul in question for the next book. It's a familiar face, but I don't know how I feel about it.
Overall, it was a solid installment in the series... very consistent in tone to the books that came before it. 4 stars.
This book carries on immediately from book 2 in the series. There are roughly 3 plot threads--the fight between the fallen angels and Devina, the relationships between the archangels who control the gates of heaven and are fighting Devina, and finally the romance between Veck, the detective hero, and Reilly, the Officer heroine.
Jim Heron is The Savior, a man chosen by Heaven, represented by Nigel, an archangel, and hell, represented by Devina, because he is equally good and bad. It has been really interesting to see him grow in strength realize his personal potential for good and bad. He seems to have a crush/obsession with a 19 year old who was sacrificed by Devina in an earlier book. The death of this character is central to the plot in Envy. Wow--got to give Ward credit for weaving it all so flawlessly. Jim just exactly what we like about Ward men. Enough said.
Devina, on the other hand . . . wow. She's EVIL. But hilarious. For example, she sees a therapist and also has a huge crush on Jim. She is the best Ward female ever written because she's just unabashedly HER. Love to hate her, like I said.
Jim is fighting Devina with the help of two fallen angels--Eddie and Adrian. These two have a long history with Devina which we learn in bits and pieces. Basically they're renegades who've been keeping each other company and fighting Devina. Company seems to include "hands-on" manage a trois.
The relationships between the archangels are still in development because their side stories are in many ways inexplicable. If you're familiar with Ward she always develops little side plots that may not reveal themselves until much later. I'm hoping that was the case here. In sum we learn that Nigel, the lead archangel, has a little tiff with another archangel (can't call it a true fight because the archangels, unlike the fallen angels, are well-bred golf clappers who even have English accents). I say inexplicable because it's still not clear what role they all have and what they do exactly.
Finally, there is the romance. I found Ward due to it's classification in the "romance genre" but I continue to read her for the World Building and consider the romance a bonus. In Envy, there is one major bummer about the romance--I won't totally spoil it--but it was something that while was central to the plot, seemed to seriously undermine the chance of the romance being long-term. We met Veck, the hero, in Lover Un--something, Ward's last book, when he had a run-in with a vampire that led directly to the story we see in Envy. Veck is typical Ward. He's huge, hot and hardcore. He also doesn't feel he's worthy of the good girl--which is exactly what Reilly, the heroine is--a cotton-underwear-wearing-rule-follower. She was a disappointment because her character didn't grow much. In my opinion she had a chance and didn't excel when she could have. Despite that she does seem to be the perfect match to Veck and I cared enough to be invested in their relationship.
The most interesting part of the romance was that the hero, Veck is the look-alike son of an infamous serial killer who is scheduled for death row. One of the major elements of his character was that fans of his father's were constantly trying to ingratiate themselves into his life. If that wasn't bad enough he was born with evil in his DNA, and has elements of his personality which are predisposed to evil, just like his father. It's interesting and I wish it had been explored even more.
The world Ward has created here is truly unique. There is nothing out there even close. Ward's take on heaven and hell is simply fascinating and I love learning about it. For example Jim has a dog which keeps him company while he fights Devina. A character asks Jim. "whose dog is that?" Jim says, "Everybody's, really." DOG. GOD. There is no chance in hell this would be palatable for some people, but if you're willing to be open minded I think there is a lot of wisdom.
This really is a great book in this genre, one of the best Ward has written in awhile. Devina and Jim continue to grow and surprise me and I enjoy them both. We shall see if the sacrificed virgin Jim is obsessed with (who was hinted to be stronger that she looks) can usurp Devina as the lead female.
Looking forward to the next installment! Great work JR WARD!
Beyond that the actual story was pretty boring. If I read a synopsis about a guy with a serial killer father and a demon trying to make him give in to his natural inclinations and the angels battling the demon for his soul... I'm so there. All about it. The execution? Terrible I skimmed a good quarter of the book. Even the sex was just meh. After the first aborted session I didn't care if they did the deed or not and skimmed over those scenes. if you're going to have a series with recurring characters doing somewhat similar things you have to keep the writing good. It should get BETTER. You already wrote about ten percent of this book in the first two. Ok give us some more three way sex with random skanks in the bathroom of a club. Wait didn't I get this scene in the previous books of the series? Oh wait should we change Ad and Eddie to John matthew and Quinn?
I know I seem angry. But dammit I need something good to read. If you want a good series about angels try nalini singh's archangel series. At least she can write a female that isn't one dimensional while Still writing a strong alpha male that dominates the book.

Glipizide and Onglyza
Pros: I am on both of these. When my sugar is higher then the range the doc wants it in he has me take a glipizide to bring it down. Onglyza is easier on the Kidneys.
Cons: Glipizide is a short acting Having to take any of it.
Overall: I have been in kidney failure once due to the diabetes, blood pressure, and my Crohn's Disease because I was so dehydrated and yet I was swelled from all the pressure that the diabetes and blood pressure had put on me.By azmumm
Beta Blockers
Pros: Both are good at lowering bp Lisinopril protects the kidney function and Atenolol is good for controlling chest pain,
Cons: Having to take one in the morning and one at night the Atenolol will make you sleepy
Overall: Taking the both of them have kept my bp down for years and I am doing better then I have in a while.By azmumm

The role of hair follicle nestin-expressing stem cells during whisker sensory-nerve growth in long-term 3D culture†
- †
Conflict of Interest: none.
We have previously reported that nestin-expressing hair follicle stem cells can differentiate into neurons, Schwann cells, and other cell types. In the present study, vibrissa hair follicles, including their sensory nerve stump, were excised from transgenic mice in which the nestin promoter drives green fluorescent protein (ND-GFP mice), and were placed in 3D histoculture supported by Gelfoam®. β-III tubulin-positive fibers, consisting of ND-GFP-expressing cells, extended up to 500 µm from the whisker nerve stump in histoculture. The growing fibers had growth cones on their tips expressing F-actin. These findings indicate that β-III tubulin-positive fibers elongating from the whisker follicle sensory nerve stump were growing axons. The growing whisker sensory nerve was highly enriched in ND-GFP cells which appeared to play a major role in its elongation and interaction with other nerves in 3D culture, including the sciatic nerve, the trigeminal nerve, and the trigeminal nerve ganglion. The results of the present report suggest a major function of the nestin-expressing stem cells in the hair follicle is for growth of the follicle sensory nerve. J. Cell.

My brother and nephew came to visit us in Germany (first time in Europe) and we spent a week in Paris. The staff at the Hotel Champs-Elysees Friedland were very friendly and helpful from the moment we checked in. My husband and I had a room on the 4th floor and my family stayed on the 1st. Both rooms had built in air conditioning which was so nice with the outdoor temps being so hot. Our room had a bigger bedroom area than my family did but their bathroom was bigger. Beds are nice and comfortable too which is a big deal with our family of bad backs. The breakfast buffet was included with the room charge that includes pastries, eggs, bacon, sausage, coffee, cereal, cheeses and fruits. Yummy! In the afternoon they have a tea time buffet that is a bit smaller but still good to fill up on if you just want something light for dinner. The hotel is within walking distance of shopping, the Arc De Triumph, Eiffel Tower, etc. In the 3 days we stayed there we saw a LOT of sights! Thank you to the staff for making this trip so stress free and memorable. I hope we can return again someday soon!

Crampons, Crampons, Crampons......and Axesadded Feb/2009
Product news by Michael Ryan
By last Friday, Lakes Climber in Ambleside was all out of crampons and walking axes. At 7.30pm that evening Ian Barnes of Lakes Climber called Colin Westland of Allcord, the northeast based distributor of climbing gear. Colin was at a dinner party and Ian was on a mission with a big weekend ahead in the Lakes.
Ian Barnes set off at 4.30am Saturday from Ambleside and met Colin at the Allcord warehouse where they loaded Ian's van up with C.A.M.P crampons and axes. During Saturday Ambleside was jammed as were the fells, and Sunday morning it was back up to Newcastle and a return trip to Allcord for Ian for even more spiky and pointy bits.
It was the same over at the Climbers' Shop; Nick Cox, deputy manager told UKClimbing.com that they had sold over 100 pairs of crampons in the past week, from 10 point walking crampons to technical Grivel G14 GSB and Black Diamond Seracs, all the way to Grivel Spiders and Kahtoola Micro Spikes. Nick told us that Langdale Mountain Rescue Team who as you know have been busy all season, had been in and bought crampons and head torches, not for themselves, but to lend to stranded walkers whilst they were escorted, in some cases roped down to the valley. The Climbers' Shop also feature a Langdale Mountain Rescue Incident Log next to their popular weather forecast in the window of their shop. A warning of what can happen if you venture above snowline without the right gear and the skill to use it - or in some cases just be darned unlucky. Want to see how busy Langdale Mountain Rescue Team have been? Click on Incidents 2009 in the menu bar at www.lamrt.org.uk.
Including the latest:
"Three men became stuck on steep, frozen ground and were unable to continue down. They were located by team members, roped together and escorted down via a series of steps cut by team members. Regrettably, the message that we have been trying to get out for several days seems to have fallen on deaf ears. They were not equipped for the conditions and seemed surprised by the fact that the snow had re-frozen once the sun was off it."
Down in North Wales, Pete Griffiths of V12 Outdoor told a similar story, but not just walking axes and crampons but pricey more technical items, like DMM Flys, Petzl-Charlet Nomics and BD Cobra axes, have been flying out the door. Just up the Llanberis high street, Gill Barnicott at Joe Brown's said that they were selling out of everything and she had been on the phone all morning ordering more kit from suppliers.
So the weather is good news for many climbing companies despite the bad news with the economy. Of course it is all very well having the right kit, but it is essential to know how to use it.
If your skills are lacking it is wise to read up and even consider going on a short winter skills course. Here are some resources.

Conference USA Golf Championship Final Results
TEXARKANA, Ark. - Rice could not make up any ground on the field, shooting a 310 team score on Tuesday to place 11th at the Conference USA Golf Championship held this week at Texarkana Country Club. The Owls finished with a 915 score for the tournament.
"Today was a difficult day for the Owls," said Rice golf coach Justin Emil. "After a great second round on Monday we put ourselves in position to move up the leaderboard, but we didn't get off to a very good start and couldn't recover from that.
"Overall I am very proud of these young men," he added. "They have been through a lot this season and I am encouraged by their progress."
Rice freshman Tommy Economou carded a final-round 78 to finish the tournament with a three-round 227 score (+11) and finish 38th. Sophomore Jeff Wibawa fired a final-round 73 to finish with a 229 (+13) and finish 41st.
No. 40 Memphis held off a final-day charge by defending champion UCF and captured the team championship by two strokes. The Tigers shot an even par 288 on Tuesday to finish with a three-round 859 (-5). UCF shot a 287 on Tuesday to finish second with an 861.
UCF's Greg Eason birdied two of his final three holes and had an eagle on No. 12 en route to a 70 on Tuesday and claimed the individual title by one stroke over Memphis' Jack Belote and SMU's Max Buckley. Eason scored a three-round 208 score (-8).

Carter Strickland (2:59 PM)
Thanks for joining ESPN's HornsNation chat. Let's get started.
Chris Fiegler (Latham,NY)
Do you think that David Ash will stay in Scholl or Declare for the 2012 NFL Draft?
Carter Strickland (3:00 PM)
As soon as you get off the stage at the Comedy Store - ok I did giggle - let me know.
Ryan McFarland (St. Louis MO)
carter, I know the Texas O-line wasn't bad this year, but how do you expect them to perform next year?
Carter Strickland (3:01 PM)
They are adding a big-time recruit in Donald Hawkins. He is a natural tackle so there is going to be some shifting there. Cochran and Espinosa will be much improved. Hopkins is a better guard than tackle. Plus watch out for Sedrick Flowers. He has the best feet of all the players. Could challenge for a starting guard spot.
chris (austin)
Is thomas johnson going to decommit from texas?
Carter Strickland (3:02 PM)
I really don;t think so. He is in Orlando with all those other UT recruits. He has had several good practices with Brewer. I think he and Cayleb really enjoy each other. I see him sticking with Texas. There is playing time to be had at Texas and he knows this.
Zeke (Austin TX)
Happy New Year Carter!Heard rumors of Arik Armstead wearing Longhorn gear at AA Bowl. Do you think he'll be taking an OV? What are our chances with him?Also, any updates on Cameron Ridley? Do you consider him still a Strong Verbal Commit? Thanks
Carter Strickland (3:03 PM)
It does not surprise me that Armstead has UT gear on. There are 10 UT recruits out there and no doubt they are working on him. But I still think it is a stretch for Texas. I just have to believe he stays closer to home.
Carter Strickland (3:04 PM)
I think Johnson stays. Too much opportunity to start as a freshman at Texas, especially at wide receiver.
Jimmy K (Toronto)
Carter, how impressed are you with Connor Brewer? ESPN is much higher on him than other recruiting websites. I know his arm strength and size aren't the greatest, but it seems like he has all the intangibles to be a great Horn.
Carter Strickland (3:06 PM)
The issue with Brewer is he played high school ball in Arizona so that is a knock. He was great but it was not the highest level of competition. ESPN evaluates tools and this is a guy with all the tools. He is not as good as Matt Barkley but he is a guy who is a lot like him. Could grow into a great pocket passer. Should have a better arm than either of the two QBs on campus.
Jimmy K (Toronto)
Carter, Texas seems poised for a National Championship run in two years based on the age and talent on the depth chart, plus the current recruiting class. Should I go ahead and book my tickets for Miami in 2013? Sure would be nice for me to leave Toronto for South Beach for a few days during the winter.
Carter Strickland (3:08 PM)
I have to agree that in two years Texas is going to be very good. Not sure if they will be BCS title good but look across the conference and it is very possible that in 2013 Texas will have the best and deepest group of players in the Big 12. i will say that 2013 is a 10 or 11 win season but will stop short of saying Texas is going to be in the title game.
Todd (Austin Tx)
What's the word on thomas johnson and all these rumors of him decomitting and visiting oregon and any new word on dorial green beckham rumors going around he narrowed his list down to arkansas and texas?
Carter Strickland (3:09 PM)
Johnson is around his Texas pals at the UA game. I think that is enough to keep him in the fold. As for DGB, I think Texas has an outside shot but have always liked Arkansas as the best fit for him because of its location to his home.
Todd (Austin Tx)
Is it true mack brown will be making a in home visit with dorial green beckham in mid january it was reported on austin american statesman website?
Carter Strickland (3:10 PM)
Mack has this class wrapped up except for those national guys so he is clearing his time and trying to go after the few that remain like DGB. Texas had an in-home scheduled with him a while back as well. They have a good relationship with DGB.
Mike (Ohio)
With all the top rated recruiting classes, why the struggles in Austin? No QB, awful OL, no WR other than Davis. Are these kids overrated or badly coached?
Carter Strickland (3:12 PM)
The latter. Complacency on the part of past coaching staffs allowed the kids to do what they wanted. There was no accountability in the weight program and on the field. Bennie Wylie and the new staff have changed the attitude. And 18 true freshmen played this year so i think the recruiting rankings were pretty solid. I see at least seven guys getting time from the 2012 class.
Mike (Houston)
Word is that Malcolm Brown is seriously thinking of switching to OU. Any insight? Also, What are the chances with Arik Armstead and DGB? I think the chances with DGB are vastly overstated. He seems set on Arky or OU. But AA seems like a possibility.
Carter Strickland (3:14 PM)
For Brown to go to another conference school would be silly. And why would he transfer? He is the leading rusher on an offense that really needs him. That is a bad rumor. As for DGB, I think it is going to be Arkansas. He took an official to Texas during the KSU game. He and Gray sat with each other.As for AA, I think the other kids can sell the program better than Mack can at this point. So maybe they are starting to work on him.
Ben (Dallas)
As I was doing my daily check for news on DGB and Edwards, I stumbled across an article in the AAS that said that Edwards had it down to Texas, LSU, and FSU and DGB will most likely not take anymore OV's. Do you think that the rapport our recruits can build with Edwards will sway him, and do you think that DGB has already made up his mind on us (he also cited academics and atmosphere as being a big consideration, and let's be honest, that's something that OU, MU, Arkansas or Bama isn't even close to us in)?
Carter Strickland (3:15 PM)
When DGB took his official to Texas he was not exactly wowed by the game. Texas played KSU and it was hard to watch. He had his head in his phone most of the day. Compare that to the high-flying attack at Arkansas and if you were a wide receiver where would you go?Now Edwards is a very real possibility. It is between Texas and OU. There are a ton of Texas recruits in his ear at all times. So that could help.
Mitchell Hackett (iowa)
I have been watching the incoming freshman for the horns and I was wondering how this quarterback lines up with ash next year. From watching his clips he looks like a much better passer and he looks like he can move on his feet. Also how does Incoming running back grey stack up for Texas?
Carter Strickland (3:17 PM)
Gray is smaller and quicker. He might be the perfect guy to catch some screen passes, run the wild formation and really give Texas the change of pace it needs.As for Brewer, he looks good on film but he is throwing against high school guys. Have to wait and see what he can do when the D-line is in his face.
Corey (Austin, TX)
What's the latest on both Edwards and DGB? Chances of signing either? Chances of signing both?
Carter Strickland (3:17 PM)
More Edwards than DGB. See below.
Connor (Dallas, Tx)
Besides Jonathan Gray, which true freshman do you see having a significant impact next year?
Carter Strickland (3:19 PM)
I really like the wide receivers to come in and have an impact. Maybe not as starters but i think Cayleb Jones could get some serious time at the outside spot. Thomas Johnson is a slick inside receiver and will provide some much needed depth.Then you cannot overlook the two juco guys that are going to stabilize the line. Hawkins should start at tackle. Moore is going to anchor the d-line.
Jimmy K (Toronto)
Carter, I was not smart for asking about tripping to Miami in 2 years to watch the 'Horns. What I really meant to ask is how well you see Texas being set up to play in Pasadena, the actual site for the BCS National Championship? After all, it's where we've played in our last 2 title appearances.
Carter Strickland (3:20 PM)
Right now i would give them a 10 to 20 percent chance. I think their talent level is going to be right up there with everyone else. I just worry about the QB. Every other position is going to be really good. And the defense, if they do not lose Diaz after the 2011 season will be outstanding.
devin (austin tx)
i know thomas johnson has a visit set up for january 20 with oregon isnt that another big official visit day for texas what does that mean for texas now with thomas johnson will they do a in home visit now?
Carter Strickland (3:22 PM)
Typically if Texas wants an in-state kid and the position is one where he can walk right into playing time, Texas is going to get the kid. I know Oregon has taken some guys out of Texas lately. But those were not guys Texas desperately wanted. Texas wants Johnson. Oregon is a long way to go when there is a program right down I-35 that is going to be in BCS games, has all the facilities and has playing time at your position available.
mike (dallas tx)
i got a question why are dorial green beckham tweets showing up on soonernation tweet wall from former and current players is the a sign hes going to ou or isnt that a recruiting violation little pre mature he hasent even signed or shows like he still interested in oklahoma
Carter Strickland (3:23 PM)
Not a sign that he is going to OU. I think he is going to Arkansas. As for a recruiting violation I'm not sure the NCAA has any hard and fast rules about fans/players tweeting. Freedom of speech and all.
Allam (Texas)
Carter, Collins is longer cosidering Texas? Is Peat? The remaining targets are DGB, Mario, and who else?
Carter Strickland (3:24 PM)
Armstead. Collins was probably the one Texas wanted the most just because they have such a need at that position and he is a ridiculous physical specimen.I think Texas has a legit shot at Edwards. The others they have an outside shot.
Allan (Texas)
Texas is returning alot of starters and talent on both sides? My only concern is if our QB play can improve so teams won't stack the box.
Carter Strickland (3:26 PM)
I have to agree 100 percent. But one good thing is that the QB will have better talent around him. The wide receivers will be deeper and more talented. I think Goodwin will be slightly more dedicated in the offseason. I also think Davis will either get it in gear or get pushed to the side by one of the young guys. Shipley never was healthy after the injury. Plus Texas is going to have more players it can get the ball to with short passes who can make things happen in space. That should help Ash or whoever the QB is.
Riley (Ks)
is Mario Edwards down to just FSU and TX and other then DGB who else is tx going after
Carter Strickland (3:28 PM)
Edwards likes OU as well. But he is getting an earful from Texas recruits and that helps. Armstead is a possibility. Texas already has 25 guys and it is pretty solid class. Texas might land one or two more guys but all except Edwards might be just wishful thinking.
Dave (sugar land tx)
What are our chances of landing either Swoops or Barrett, and which of the two would be the better fit for Harsin's system?
Carter Strickland (3:30 PM)
Swoopes is so big and powerful it would be hard to pas on him. He can do so many things and has the durability to run the read option, which Harsin clearly likes to do. If i had to pick I would go with Swoopes.
Kirk (Ks)
how do u think texas 2013 class will be next year
Carter Strickland (3:32 PM)
The state has a ton of talent. I think with TAMU going to the SEC it helps Texas get even a stronger foothold on the players here. I think Harsin and Diaz now have had a year to evaluate talent and know their systems better. All that is going to help Texas land a top three class.
Carter Strickland (3:32 PM)
Thanks for the time today. I will be back next week at the same time.

Great product
Reviewed By Terri R (Saint Cloud, MN) Reviewed for a 2014 Ford Focus —7/16/2016 9:36 AM
We hauled an overstuffed UHAUL trailer 1000 miles with no issues at all. I am very impressed with the hitch and ease of use
Reviewed By AL B (Rapid City, SD) Reviewed for a 2005 Ford Focus —1/19/2016 3:42 PM
The hitch lined up with the existing captive nuts and went on easily. (Remember to run a tap through the nuts first.) It tucks up and hides well behind the valance. It's nice to have the torque specs included.

I was shocked to learn about a federal lawsuit filed against Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., a company employed by TVA to remediate the ash spill site in Roane County.
The allegations set forth in the suit are serious.
Early on in the spill aftermath, I raised concern about the impact on the health of the Roane County residents due to the toxic constituents in the coal ash.
We were told time and again by the TVA that the ash was harmless.
We now see internal documents that clearly outline the toxicity of the fly ash and see allegations that this fact was covered up and in turn several workers on the site have become ill.
There are even allegations of improper air quality testing.
My main concern is the safety of the residents of Roane County.
I am calling on the TVA to completely audit their air and water quality monitoring protocol immediately.
I also call on the U.S. Environmental Proetction Agency to step in and take over as the lead agency on the spill clean up and monitoring.
I also call upon the U.S. Attorney's office to look into the allegations of improper air quality monitoring.
Every step should be taken as soon as possible to make sure that spill remediation is conducted properly and safely.

European Union settles ebook pricing row with publishers
Simon & Schuster, Harper Collins, Hachette, Holtzbrinck and Apple agree
THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU) has settled its ebook pricing row with publishers and Apple, and the publishers and Apple said that they will terminate their existing agreements.
Publishers Simon & Schuster, Harper Collins, Hachette and Holtzbrinck as well as Apple have agreed to the EU's terms and will all walk away from its concerns about a conspiracy to control retail prices and limit competition.
The publishers have agreed not to use agency agreements and to give booksellers the right to charge whatever they want for digital titles for as long as two years.
"While each separate publisher and each retailer of e-books are free to choose the type of business relationship they prefer, any form of collusion to restrict or eliminate competition is simply unacceptable," said Joaquín Almunia, European Commission VP in charge of competition policy
"The commitments proposed by Apple and the four publishers will restore normal competitive conditions in this new and fast-moving market, to the benefit of the buyers and readers of e-books".
Apple also agreed to terminate any existing agreements with Penguin that were controversial.
The firms might have chosen to comply as the suggested fines could have been high, as much as 10 percent of their global sales.
Hachette told The INQUIRER that it is already talking with ebook sellers and is working to make sure that any agreements that it holds conform to the settlement.
"Hachette UK is engaged in productive discussions with our ebook agents to ensure that our agreements conform to the terms of the settlement," it said in a statement.
"We do not anticipate any disruption to sales of our ebooks and are expecting record ebook sales over the Christmas period."
The Holtzbrinck group said that it is happy with the settlement and ready to move on. "From the outset, the Holtzbrinck group has strongly denied all charges of collusion in relation to its ebook businesses," it said in a statement.
"That said, we believe it is in the best interests of our European business to have agreed on these settlement terms and we are pleased now to be able to move forward with developing our ebook business." µ

A. S. Byatt, once again, proves to be an extremely talented novelist, with her passion for biology, history, and spirituality. 'Angels & Insects,' which is my favorite book by A. S. Byatt, deals with subjects that might seem odd to us, 'contemporary' people living in the twenty first century. It is nevertheless an amazing novel, one that might give birth to the very deep thoughts, and one that might force you to draw analogies between us and the world of nature. 'Morpho Eugenia,' my favorite of the two novellas, tells us about a shipwrecked naturalist, who, having returned from the Amazon, finds himself 'taken in' by an aristocratic family whose members are compared to insects. I must confess that I loved that novella at once, although I did think that all that bug talk was getting pretty boring. I am, however, into entomology, so it didn't seem that bad to me, but some people may find it long and gratuitous. Anyway, 'Morpho Eugenia' is a magical novella, one that strikes you with its luscious prose and poems, and beautiful love and nature scenes. I especially loved the butterfly scene where Eugenia stood in a cloud of moths, which 'flittered' and 'danced' around her head, and her 'outstretched hands.' The last of the two 'pictures' in the end is absolutely unforgettable- dealing with the healing of the heart and a new beginning. The second novella, 'The Conjugial Angel,' tells us about the relationship between Alfred Tennyson and Arthur Hallam. If you don't know much about the authors of the Victorian era, and if you are not interested in spiritualism, then this novella is certainly not for you. I guess that you have to be a 'Victorian literature lover' to appreciate these beautiful tales about the people who might have had the same problems and choices that are before us now. I would recommend this book to anybody who loves Wilkie Collins, Sharlotte Bronte, and Jane Austen.

Strange I ran into this post and today they were going to have a parole hearing today down in Springfield. Our Representative, I believe States Attorney went down but they put it off until mid or end of August. Today is 7/28/11. They said they needed more time to read all the letters they received at the parole board. I looked up the old house on line. It is up for sale again. I noticed the huge range of prices this house has sold for. Unbelievable. My guess was it was haunted but there was an owner on here that posted it wasnt. Ive got to wonder though. I bet it is.To Anyone who lived in Rockford and had a connection with the Nelson family, I would be interested in hearing from you via email - I'm writing a book about this hoping to stir up enough interest in him to thwart his next parole hearing (in 2008),and any future parole hearing he may have. Please email me [email protected] Thanks!

I am shocked that there was another family that had to endure the sickness of this man. I find it very much by fate that you and Judy made a connection on here that would have never happened in a million years. I came on this link because I heard on the news that today they were holding a hearing for his parole and that our States Attorney was going down to springfield on behelf of SPN's kids to see that he does not get out. I thought to myself what the children who are in heaven? Then I read your comments. I believe he was talking about your family. On behalf maybe on you and your siblings. I thought I heard you say you were the only one of the four who were still alive. Is that correct. You are clost in age to me. I am 54 and will be 55 in December this year 2011. Anyway the parole board meeting was postponed until later in August because of all the letters they still had to go through and read. I remember this story so well because I was born and raised here. I did not know them personally but live just on the other side of the River off of Highcrest Road. 61107. My opinion about telling your adult children is mixed. When I realized what they would learn if the just googled his name they could forever more be haunted by what they can now look up and read the horrific facts. Not so sure that is worth them knowing. Only if for some God for Saken reason he is released then they need to know. For safety sakes. What happened to your other siblings or did I mis read your statement. Maybe you said you were the last living son.
#105 Jul 28, 2011
The parole dated was originally today 7-28-11. They postponed it until mid to end of August. You can google SPN and it will tell you the new date. It was all over the news tonight.

ok, so, first... I used to live on Kennedy Hill Rd. and have driven up and down that road and never saw the "Kennedy Hill ghost".
I have recently heard more stories about "Bloods Point".. went out there when i was younger, but didn't experience anything.
My stepdad, however, said that when he went out the old farm house that, supposedly, "witch buehla" lived in, there was a radio with no batteries or plug-in was playing music.. they got scared and left. Well they turned back around the check out the cemetary, when they saw the house again..and the window they were looking at the radio through, there was a light on. Has anyone ever experienced any lights on in the old house? anything similar to his story?

well if dan doyle want's to "man up" and admit he help frame nelson, so many years ago, nelson might get out. but dan doyle has slid on his belly for most of his life, don't think he will change now.

Welcome to Schooled, where even homework has a price. Ivy-League educated Anna Taggert believes that enriching the minds of America's youth is the greatest gift, and that landing a job at an elite Manhattan school is her lucky break. But when the grim reality of the private school hierarchy settles in, not to mention that of her meager compensation, Anna realizes that passion might not be worth the sacrifice. Ever the optimist, Anna forges on until she discovers that the papers she grades are not the work of her students, but of their high-priced, college-educated tutors. After uncovering this underground economy, where a teacher can make the same hourly rate as a Manhattan attorney, Anna is seduced by lucrative offers--one after another. Teacher by day, tutor by night, she starts to sample the good life her students enjoy: binges at Barneys, dinners at the Waverly Inn, and a new address on Madison Avenue. Until, that is, Anna gets schooled.
