With slight dialogue, Water Babies leans heavily on beach visuals to convey sensuality, and in that respect it succeeds. Frank Towers and Lexi Ericksson open up with a solid tryst on the sand as she rides his flotilla with satisfying lust. Dallas 'n' Davia open up their Panama bowel canals for Hardman and Daniels, and while the requisite beach blanket bango is explicit, the action isn't quite hot enough to require sunblock.

ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) - The Rev. Joseph Lowery has been released
from an Atlanta hospital.
The 88-year-old civil rights icon was hospitalized Sunday after
suffering a dizzy spell as he greeted parishioners at Ebenezer Baptist Church, where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. once preached.
Lowery was the keynote speaker Sunday to mark Ebenezer's 123rd
The church's senior pastor says Lowery had preached for about 40
minutes, and then grew weak and lost his balance while shaking hands.
In a telephone interview from his home, Lowery said he "just got overheated," adding that a doctor told him to "slow down."
Lowery is a co-founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and gave the benediction at President Barack Obama's
inauguration in January.

I was greatly impressed by the customer service. From the very first call I made to ensure that we could have one of the pet friendly rooms, to the housekeeper that gave us great information on the area, every single person we had contact with was wonderfully pleasant and helpful.
I would have liked the restaurant menu to be more extensive. We ended up eating our dinners out after our first night there.
The outside pool and hot table was very nice. Also I enjoyed lunch at the pool cafe each day. The golf course is beautiful.
Dinner at this resort was not very good but I did travel with a large group and this can be difficult for some restaurants.
Great little rooms with wonderful breakfast :)
Great mid coast location. Comfortable room with coffee and small fridge. Excellent value. Served a basic breakfast starting at 7:30a, a little late, but a short walk to Fog Lifter provides coffee at 6a, and nice breakfast option at 3 Dogs Cafe starting at 7a. Nice short walk to Rockport Habor, a little more ambitious walk into Camden, but all doable. Will definitely look to stay there again.
Late start for breakfast.
Wonderful grounds to walk or sit and enjoy the gardens.
Room was a bit small and shared bath with one other room.
extremely clean and quaint. Staff was Excellent
Room was a little small , but still perfect for 1-2 people.

Best place ever, staff is amazing!! Room was very clean, comfortable, and easy access. I would without hesitation stay at this hotel again at anytime. A+
Only that I had to leave and couldn't stay longer!
For reasonable pricd..very clean, great Irish hosts..friendly and family-like. Beds very comfortable, nice shower, nice variety for continental breakfast. Decor datec but makes up for it in local uniqueness and personal friendliness
The room,the view was fantastic staff was great.
No coffee or tea in the room.
The rooms were tastefully decorated and immaculate. No where is soundproof but this was close. The staff was friendly and VERY accomodating. Breakfast and snack time were Good too. Want that blueberry crisp recipe!
Only bummer...both times at the pool - no towels. Not a make or break issue though. Just means a lot of people having pool fun. Sauna on the fritz
We've been staying there for many years, the site is very nice, the area is our favorite.
Staff seems a bit aloof, as though customers are a bit of a bother. Perhaps repeat customers are not required, business must be very good.
This hotel has wonderful views. I sat on my balcony for hours.
The hotel looks scary from the outside. The inside was very clean, but dated.
Location excellent. Beautiful landscaping. Friendly staff. Views were spectacular.
The room was very clean and great. The views were spectacular.
Decorated first class like straight out of a New England magazine

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ Wichita plans to temporarily relocate residents of five homes in a mobile home park after Kansas Gas Service detected methane gas during routine surveys.
Officials think the source of the gas may be a closed landfill
immediately north of the Lamplighter mobile home park.
Heavy rainfall has raised the water table and may be helping the landfill gas migrate.
The city wants to dig a trench around the perimeter of the mobile home park and install vents to dissipate the gas.

Norman Lewis (artist)
|Norman Lewis
Norman Lewis, Self-Portrait, 1939
July 23, 1909
Harlem, New York
|August 27, 1979(aged 70)
|Known for
|Abstract expressionism
Norman W. Lewis (July 23, 1909 – August 27, 1979) was an African-American painter, scholar, and teacher. He is associated with Abstract Expressionism who also used representational strategies to focus on black urban life and his community's struggles. Lewis was African-American, of Bermudian descent.
Early life and career[edit]
Norman Wilfred Lewis was born in Harlem, New York to Bermudan parents. Always interested in art, he had amassed a large art history library by the time he was a young man. A lifelong resident of Harlem, he also traveled extensively during the two years that he worked on ocean freighters. An important early influence was the sculptor and teacher Augusta Savage, who provided him with open studio space at her Harlem Community Art Center. He also participated in WPA art projects, alongside Jackson Pollock, among others.
Lewis began his career in 1933, with earlier mostly figurative work. He at first painted what he saw, which ranged from Meeting Place (1930), a swap meet scene, and The Yellow Hat (1936), a formal Cubist painting, to Dispossessed (1940), an eviction scene, and Jazz Musicians (1948), a visual depiction of the bebop that was being played in Harlem.
He also painted social realism, painting with "an overtly figurative style, depicting bread lines, evictions, and police brutality."[1]
Lewis said he struggled to express social conflict in his art, but in his later years, focused on the inherently aesthetic. "The goal of the artist must be aesthetic development," he told art historian Kellie Jones, "and in a universal sense, to make in his own way some contribution to culture."[2]
Norman Lewis was the only African- American artist among the first generation of Abstract Expressionists. As was expressed in the segment about him on the March 20, 2016 television show "Sunday Morning" (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/reappraising-the-art-of-norman-lewis/), his work was overlooked by both White and African-American art dealers and gallery owners. He did not fit into either category perfectly. As was recently noted in a catalogue accompanying a major retrospective of Lewis's paintings this omission seem clear enough.[3]
Later work[edit]
In the late 1940s, his work became increasingly abstract. His total engagement with abstract expressionism was due partially to his disillusionment with America after his wartime experiences in World War II. It seemed extremely hypocritical that America was fighting "against an enemy whose master race ideology was echoed at home by the fact of a segregated armed forces."[4] Seeing that art does not have the power to change the political state that society was in, he decided that people should develop their aesthetic skills more, instead of focusing on political art. Tenement I (1952), Harlem Turns White (1955), and Night Walker No. 2 (1956) are all examples of his style. Twilight Sounds (1947) and Jazz Band (1948) are examples of his interest in conveying music.
One of his best known paintings, Migrating Birds (1954), won the Popular Prize at the Carnegie Museum's 1955 Carnegie International Exhibition, the New York Herald-Tribune calling the painting "one of the most significant of all events of the 1955 art year." His signature style in those decades included repetitive ideographic or hieroglyphic elements that allowed Lewis to incorporate narrative sequences into his paintings.[2]
His later work includes Alabama II (1969), Part Vision (1971), and New World Acoming (1971), as well as a series called Seachange done in his last years. In 1963 he was a founding member of the SPIRAL Group.
Although represented by galleries, and the recipient of many awards and good reviews, his work did not sell nearly as well as the other Abstract Expressionists he exhibited with, such as Mark Tobey or Mark Rothko. His body of work included paintings, drawings, and murals. Mostly he supported himself, and later his wife and daughter, through teaching. In 1972, he received a grant from the Mark Rothko Foundation and a Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1975 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship.
He died unexpectedly on August 27, 1979, in New York.
Lewis was a founding member of Spiral, a group of artists and writers who met regularly that included Charles Alston, Romare Bearden, and Hale Woodruff. The group met "to discuss the potential of Black artists to engage with issues of racial equality and struggle in the 1960s through their work." [5] Despite Spiral's short existence, it was very impactful in the art world, as it called attention to many issues of racial inequality that existed at the time.
For instance, due to Spiral and other groups' continuous protest against the 1968 controversial exhibit "Harlem on My Mind" in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Black people became more visible in the art world.[5] Before this exhibition, the Met did not feature anything on New York's cultural powerhouse neighborhood Harlem. Harlem is known for its art and music, but this exhibition featured no self-representation of that from the neighborhood. Instead, it was composed of photographs that a non-Harlemite photographer took of the people who lived there. Many people protested that more Black culture should be exhibited, instead of this kind of zoo exhibition, where there is a us (the affluent white dominant audience) versus them (the Harlemites).

Anadarko, Kerr-McGee Can't Limit $15.5 Billion Claim in Lawsuit
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and its Kerr-McGee Corp. unit can't limit the damages claim in a $15.5 billion lawsuit over environmental cleanup costs brought by the U.S. and Tronox Inc. creditors.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper in Manhattan denied the request from The Woodlands, Texas-based Anadarko and Kerr-McGee in court papers filed yesterday. His ruling paves the way for Tronox creditors and the government to argue in a May trial that the companies should pay billions of dollars to clean up thousands of polluted sites around the U.S. and compensate people who claim they were harmed by Kerr-McGee's toxins.
"The amounts at stake are possibly enormous but at this point wholly uncertain," Gropper wrote, noting that a separate estimate of tort and environmental damages in the case had been $1.9 billion to $6.9 billion. Gropper heard more than two hours of arguments on Nov. 29 and said he would later issue a written ruling.
Tronox sued Anadarko and Kerr-McGee in 2009, during its bankruptcy, to recover environmental liabilities that the chemical maker claimed Anadarko dumped on it through a 2006 spinoff. U.S. government agencies also sued.
A trust created when Tronox exited bankruptcy in February is now pursuing the lawsuit. The U.S. will get 88 percent of whatever is won in the lawsuit and tort claimants will get the remainder, according to court papers.
May 15 Trial
The case is set to go to trial May 15. Gropper said Nov. 29 that the parties should mediate the dispute.
Anadarko said in court papers that the plaintiffs shouldn't be able to profit from a recovery, and redacted their pleadings to hide their estimates of how much the trust had allegedly overstated its claim.
"They admit to you they're seeking over $15.5 billion," Lydia Protopapas, a lawyer for Anadarko, told Gropper Nov. 29. "That's a windfall."
Kerr-McGee transferred about 2,800 polluted sites and liability for 70 years' worth of pollution to Oklahoma City-based Tronox after moving its most valuable oil and gas assets to a new company that Anadarko acquired in 2006 for $18 billion, Tronox said in its 2009 lawsuit.
Tronox has called the transactions a two-step fraud and is seeking the full value of assets it says were fraudulently transferred into Anadarko. Anadarko had sought to limit their claim to what environmental and tort creditors were owed, which it says was close to $1.5 billion in 2005.
Measure of Damages
Gropper said in his ruling that the appropriate measure of damages should be determined after trial, and can't be limited only by the amount of fraudulently transferred property.
David Zott, a lawyer for the trust, had said the estate and all its creditors, including environmental and tort claims, are entitled to recover money that was fraudulently transferred out of the estate.
"We're entitled to avoid in entirety the fraudulently transferred oil and gas assets," Zott told Gropper at the Nov. 29 hearing.
Proceeds from the lawsuit will go to the litigation trust which has taken on the case. The trust will distribute proceeds to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies. Lawyers for the U.S. have said the federal government and several states are involuntary creditors now dealing with pollution strewn across the country.
In a separate related lawsuit, Tronox shareholders sued Anadarko in July 2009, seeking unspecified damages over the same two transactions. They claim they were misled by company disclosures about the size of Kerr-McGee's potential environmental liabilities.
The bankruptcy case is Tronox Inc., 09-10156, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." In the very first sentence she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma, however, is also rather spoiled; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; and she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives and is often mistaken about the meanings of others' actions.
Although convinced that she herself will never marry anyone, Emma Woodhouse, a precocious almost twenty-one-year-old resident of the village of Highbury, imagines herself to be naturally gifted in conjuring love matches. After self-declared success at matchmaking between her governess and Mr. Weston, a village widower, Emma takes it upon herself to find an eligible match for her new friend, Harriet Smith. Though Harriet's parentage is unknown, Emma is convinced that Harriet deserves to be a gentleman's wife and sets her friend's sights on Mr. Elton, the village vicar. Meanwhile, Emma persuades Harriet to reject the proposal of Robert Martin, a well-to-do farmer for whom Harriet clearly has feelings.
Harriet becomes infatuated with Mr. Elton under Emma's encouragement, but Emma's plans go awry when Elton makes it clear that his affection is for Emma, not Harriet. Emma realizes that her obsession with making a match for Harriet has blinded her to the true nature of the situation. Mr. Knightley, the brother of Emma's brother-in-law and her treasured friend, watches Emma's matchmaking efforts with a critical eye. He believes that Mr. Martin is a worthy young man whom Harriet would be lucky to marry. He and Emma quarrel over Emma's meddling, and, as usual, Mr. Knightley proves to be the wiser of the pair. Elton, spurned by Emma and offended by her insinuation that Harriet is his equal, leaves for the town of Bath and marries a young woman there almost immediately.

I made several substitution and the muffins were still delicious. I appreciate recipes that allow for some subbing! I used Red Mill All-purpose flour plus 2 t xanthan gum, used 1/2 splenda and 1/2 molasses, and 1/2 apple sauce plus 1/2 olive oil. I added walnuts and chopped dates for fun. Muffins are delicious!
Excellent! My son is GF and my daughter is DF so these are an easy win in our house. Brought these in for the teachers at my son's preschool and everyone raved about them. I used Bob's GF flour mix (2 cups), almond meal (1/2 cup) and coconut flour. Have used both rice milk and soy milk but I think almond or coconut milk would be especially good in this. My son likes to add mini choc chips to his part of the batch and I add chopped walnuts to mine. YUM!
Made these for Christmas for a family member that has a gluten allergy, and they came out great...everybody was eating them. Used Pamela's baking mix and halved the recipe and came out with a dozen large muffins. They were amazingly good!!!

These are a must for new construction, why spend the money on high end speakers only to have the sheet rock guy cover them up. Since install the sheet rock is up and the install looks great!
Pros: Very easy to install, also have a spot to zip tie you wire to the bracket.
Cons: None

It is so cool to see a real live rock star every now and then. I was headed to my last meeting of the evening, when a panicked Rory swung by, looking for an office to crash in. Luckily, I've got folks from my team slung out all over the green earth right now, so I was able to get Rory plugged back into the grid. The last time Rory stopped by, he wasn't working for the Firm yet, and I got Don Box to come over and give Rory a kiss for his birthday.
Thanks for stopping by, Rory!

You won't see it right away, but the YWCA is helping keep you and your children safer. They are upgrading their pool drain covers to comply with a new safety law which took effect Friday.
The law aims to reduce deaths and injuries by making pools safer. The old drains are flat and have lines in them, while the new ones are dome-shaped and have holes.
Linda Deines of the Topeka YWCA says on the average, those old drain covers caused over 283 deaths a year, most of them children under age five.
The YWCA plans to reopen the pool with the new drains in place by Friday.

really interesting approach to these, I enjoyed them
Your works are terribly terrifying, I love that. You have a great use of textures and movement, really nice works!
I love the energy in your work. You've got yourself some fantastic textures in here. I especially like the first piece. Very virile creatures.
Keep up the good work!
great job
oh man. I really, really love these.
I'm a real sucker for nightmares. I think they're fantastic, I love your style. Really gives that creepy feel, although they're not "disgusting". They're a bit psychotic, which is much more...
That's a fresh approach to creating. I like some of the variations in application happening in 4,5,and 6. keep pushing.
Great, 5 stars from me mate :)
They are pretty cool, in the very least they are very unique creations. Keeping them rough definitely adds to the demented/scary vibe. The colors also work pretty well with them. I believe humans...
Loving those textures!
1 Great, 2 Great 3 Brilliant. I like the looseness of your technique. I suggest making some abstract shapes like you have with 2 but making more. With a more complex rough you could perhaps make more...
The first creature is pretty sick. I feel that image 10 was much stronger than image 1 (except the hands) due to the more atmospheric cropping and the control over the reds. Red is still the main...

Chapter One
I don't know if that story was picked up in the West. I believe some interest was shown in South Africa, but only because rape and murder had been high on that country's agenda for some time. I was transferred to Asia shortly afterwards, so I never learnt the outcome of the trial. I assumed the teenagers were convicted because justice, like everything else in Sierra Leone, was subject to economic restrictions. Even if the court went to the expense of appointing a public defence lawyer, confessions of guilt, with graphic details of how each victim was murdered, would attract a summary sentence.
I know Alan Collins was troubled by the indictments, but there was little he could do about it when his request for an experienced pathologist was refused. He was in a difficult position--more an observer than an adviser--with less than two weeks of his secondment left at the time of Amie Jonah's abduction, and the youths' descriptions of their crimes effectively sealed their fate. Nevertheless, Alan remained sceptical.
"They were in no fit state to be questioned," he told me. "Amie's family had reduced them to pulp. They'd have said anything the police wanted them to say rather than face another beating."
He was also troubled by the crime scenes. "I saw two of the bodies in situ," he said, "and neither of them lookedlike a gang attack. Both women were huddled in the corners of the rooms with their heads and shoulders sliced to ribbons and defence wounds to their arms. It looked to me as if they were trying to protect themselves from a single individual who attacked from the front. A gang would have been slashing at them from all sides."
"What can you do?"
"Very little. No one's been interested since the youths confessed. I've written a report, pointing up the anomalies, but there are precious few doctors in Freetown, let alone forensic pathologists." He smiled ruefully. "The thinking seems to be that they deserve what they get because there's no doubt they were trying to abduct young Amie."
"If you're right, won't the killer strike again? Won't that exonerate the boys?"
"It depends who he is. If he's a local, then probably . . . but if he's one of the foreign contingent"--he shrugged--"I'm guessing he'll export his activities elsewhere."
It was that conversation which increased my suspicions of John Harwood. When he was first pointed out to me in Paddy's Bar--Freetown's equivalent of Stringfellows--I knew I'd seen him before. I wondered if it was in Kinshasa in 1998 when I was covering the civil war in the Congo. I recalled him being in uniform then--almost certainly as a mercenary because the British army wasn't involved in that conflict--but I didn't think he'd been calling himself John Harwood.
By the spring of 2002 in Sierra Leone he was dressed in civvies and had a bad reputation. I saw him in three fights while I was there, and heard about others, but he was never on the receiving end of the damage. He had the build of a terrier--middling height, lean muscular frame, strong neck and limbs--and a terrier's ferocity once he had his teeth into someone. Most of the ex-pats gave him a wide berth, particularly when he was drinking.
At that time Freetown was full of foreigners. The UN was coordinating efforts to put the country back on its feet, and most of the ex-pats worked for the international press, NGOs, religious missions or world charities. A few, like Harwood, had private contracts. He was employed as chauffeur/bodyguard to a Lebanese businessman, who was rumoured to have interests in a diamond mine. Once in a while the pair of them vanished abroad with heavily armoured cases, so the rumours were probably true.
Along with everyone else, I tended to avoid him. Life was too short to get involved with loners with chips on their shoulders. However, I did make one overture during the six months I was there when I asked him to pass on a request for an interview with his boss. Diamonds were a hot topic in the aftermath of the conflict. The question of who owned them and where the money was going had been a bone of contention in Sierra Leone for decades. None of the wealth was fed back into the country and the people's resentment at their grinding, subsistence-level poverty had been the spark which ignited the civil war.
Predictably, I got nowhere near Harwood's boss, but I had a brief exchange with Harwood himself. None of the local women would cook or clean for him, so most evenings he could be found eating alone at Paddy's Bar, which was where I approached him. I said I thought our paths had crossed before, and he acknowledged it with a nod.
"You're bonnier than I recall, Ms. Burns," he said in a broad Glaswegian accent. "Last time I saw you you were a little mouse of a thing."
I was surprised he remembered my name, even more surprised by the backhanded compliment. The one fact everyone knew about Harwood was that he didn't like women. It poured out of him under the influence of Star beer, and gossip had it that he was in the tertiary stage of syphilis after contracting it from a whore. It was a convenient explanation for his aggressive misogyny, but I didn't believe it myself. Penicillin was too freely available for any Westerner to progress beyond the primary stage.
I told him what I wanted and placed a list of questions on the table, together with a covering letter explaining the nature of the piece I was planning. "Will you pass these on to your boss and give me his answer?" Access to anyone was difficult except through a third party. The rebel fighters had destroyed most of the communications network and, with everyone living in secure compounds, it was impossible to blag your way past the guards without an appointment.
Harwood prodded the papers back at me. "No to both requests."
"Why not?"
"He doesn't talk to journalists."
"Is that him speaking or you?"
"No comment."
I smiled slightly. "So how do I get past you, Mr. Harwood?"
"You don't." He crossed his arms and stared up at me through narrowed eyes. "Don't push your luck, Ms. Burns. You've had your answer."
My dismissal, too, I thought wryly. Even with a score of ex-pats within hailing distance, I didn't have the nerve to press him further. I'd seen the kind of damage he could do, and I didn't fancy being on the receiving end.
Paddy's was the favoured watering-hole of the international community because it remained open throughout the eleven-year conflict. It was a large open-sided bar-cum-restaurant, with tables on a concrete veranda, and it was a magnet for local hookers in search of dollars. They learnt very quickly to avoid Harwood after he hurt one so badly that she was hospitalized. He spoke pidgin English, which is the lingua franca of Sierra Leone, and cursed the girls vilely in their own tongue if they tried to approach him. He called them "devil's feathers" and lashed out with his fists if they came too close.
He was rather more careful around Europeans. The charities and missions had a high percentage of female staff, but if a white woman jogged his arm he always let it go. Perhaps he was intimidated by them--they were a great deal brighter than he was, with strings of letters after their names--or perhaps he knew he wouldn't be able to get away with it. The less articulate black girls were easier targets for his anger. It persuaded most of us that he was a racist as well as a woman-hater.
There was no telling how old he was. He had a shaven head, tattooed with a winged scimitar at the base of his skull, and the sun had dried his skin to leather. When drunk, he boasted that he'd been in the SAS unit that stormed the Iranian embassy in London in 1980 and the scimitar was his badge of honour. But, if true, that would have put him in his late forties or early fifties, and his devastating punches suggested someone younger. Despite the strong Scottish accent, he claimed to come from London, although no one in the UK ex-pat community believed him, any more than they believed that John Harwood was the name he had been born with.
Nevertheless, if Alan Collins hadn't made his remark about the foreign contingent, it wouldn't have occurred to me that there might be more to Harwood's violence than anyone realized. Even when it did, there was nothing I could do about it. Alan had returned to Manchester by then and the murders of the women had quickly faded from memory.
I ran my suspicions past a few of my colleagues, but they were sceptical. As they pointed out, the killings had stopped with the arrest of the boys, and Harwood's modus operandi was to use his fists, not a machete. The tenor of their argument seemed to be that, however despicable Harwood was, he wouldn't have raped the women before murdering them. "He can't even bring himself to touch a black," said an Australian cameraman, "so he's hardly likely to soil himself by dipping his wick into one."
I gave it up because the only evidence I could cite against Harwood was a particularly brutal attack on a young prostitute in Paddy's Bar. A good hundred people had witnessed it, but the girl had taken money in lieu of prosecution so there wasn't even a report of the incident. In any case, my stint in Sierra Leone was almost at an end and I didn't want to start something that might delay my departure. I persuaded myself it wasn't my responsibility and confined justice to the dustbin of apathy.
By then I'd spent most of my life in Africa, first as a child, then working for newspapers in Kenya and South Africa, and latterly for Reuters as a newswire correspondent. It was a continent I knew and loved, having grown up in Zimbabwe as the daughter of a white farmer, but by the summer of 2002 I'd had enough. I'd covered too many forgotten conflicts and too many stories of financial corruption. I planned to stay a couple of months in London, where my parents had been living since 2001, before moving on to the Reuters bureau in Singapore to write about Asian affairs.
The night before I left Freetown for good, I was in the middle of packing when Harwood came to my house. He was escorted to my door by Manu, one of the Leonean gate-guards, who knew enough about the man's reputation to ask if I wanted a chaperone. I shook my head, but protected myself by talking to Harwood on my veranda in full view of the rest of the compound.
He studied my unresponsive expression. "You don't like me much, do you, Ms. Burns?"
"I don't like you at all, Mr. Harwood."
He looked amused. "Because I wouldn't pass on your request for an interview?"
The one-word response seemed to throw him. "You shouldn't believe everything people say about me."
"I don't have to. I've seen you in action."
A closed expression settled on his face. "Then you'll know not to cross me," he murmured.
"I wouldn't bet on it. What do you want?"

Im going to continue to finish this book however, Im finding it sooo slow unlike her other novels.
I LOVE Minette Walter's style of writing; it's so different from anything I've read before. She is possessed of a truly creative mind; her novels are so engrossing and psychologically thrilling. She stunned and fascinated me with this disturbing novel. Acid Row was the first book by this author that I read and I was hooked immediately. Other Walters favorites include: Acid Row, Disordered Minds, and The Shape of Snakes. If you like this author, you will probably also enjoy: Ruth Rendell (especially End in Tears, Not in the Flesh, and The Monster in the Box), Barbara Vine, (especially: A Dark-Adapted Eye, Anna's Book, the Brimstone Wedding, and A Fatal Inversion), Morag Joss and Tess Gerritsen.
The beginning of the book I found very interesting, and was quite excited about it but then.... well it took a turn into just another ho hum examination of the internal workings of life in a small English village. I found it to be very anti- climatic to a complex start. Just left me flat, and quite frankly bored. Kay Sumbawa Indonesia
I couldnt put this book down. I think thats the fastest I have ever read a fiction book in my life! I would recomend it anyone who likes a good descriptive thriller!
A book that keeps you on the edge of you seat, one that I couldn't put down!!! I LOVE a book that get's me on the first page and holds me until the end!!! A MUST read for Walters fans!!!
I had never read anything by this author before and now I feel compelled to read the rest of her work. I picked up The Devil's Feather and couldn't put down. I read it last year but I wanted to put in my two cents. It is a great novel and you will be delighted with it.
A war correspondant in Sierra Leone investigates the brutal killings of three men and ends up being raped and brutalized by terrorists. Traumatized she returns to England, hiding from all almost inspite of herself she continues her into the man she believes responsible, a man she also believes is a serial killer. Criss-crossing with her investigation are scenes taken from newspaper headlines. As much Walters previous books were critical snapshots of Britain, The Devil's Feather highlights current international politics and humanitarian issues. Different from her previous books, more ambitious in its' scale perhaps, The Devil's Feather is a disturbing read.
In Baghdad in 2004, thirty six years old Reuters' war correspondent Connie Burns is stunned when she spots British mercenary Keith Mackenzie training Iraqi police. She recognizes the instructor from an assignment in Sierra Leone two years before where she thinks he raped and killed local women. Irate that she plans to expose him, out of control Mackenzie abducts, tortures, and rapes the journalist before freeing her with a warning that he will always be near to provide her a second lesson.-------------- Connie goes into shock unable to tell anyone what Mackenzie did to her. Needing to mentally heal, she returns to her home in rustic Dorset. She makes friends though it is really that her neighbors Dr. Peter Coleman and fellow recluse Jess Derbyshire refuse to allow her to wallow by herself. With their help she begins to regain her self-esteem and equilibrium, hoping to prepare for when Mackenzie using some other name as he has in the past will come to reeducate her.---------------- As always Minette Walters provides an intense psychological suspense thriller that grips readers from the opening moments as the villain takes away a sense of purpose and freedom from the reporter. The tale never slows down as Connie tries to recover mentally from his assault while knowing deep in her soul he is coming for her which keeps readers in a state of anticipation awaiting their showdown. THE DEVIL¿S FEATHER is Ms. Walters at her tense writing best.--------------- Harriet Klausner

Purple Dragon Co-op, Inc.
Great Co-op
By: Sarah (Dec 8, 2008)
The Purple Dragon is a wonderful co-op that provides a great variety of fruits and vegetables. It is especially convenient in that it delivers to each of the communities it provides for. However, it should be noted that because of the delivery sizes, it's best for smaller families and there is always plenty of hard-to-cook-with kale and bok choy.

Can fresh blueberries be used instead of dried blueberries for baking cookies? This is for a cookie recipe that calls for 1/2 cup dried blueberries.
No, that's not going to work. The fresh blueberries are mostly water, and all that water will definitely be enough to throw off the cookies. Other options:

All of the deals within these pages are advertised by franchised dealers from around the UK.
Click here to search for a vehicle.
A production version of the Volkswagen Polo R WRC has been unveiled and power is certainly the name of the game with this vehicle.
Built to commemorate Volkswagen's entry into the 2013 World Rally Championship, the high-performance, front-wheel drive hatch is similar in appearance to the concept model first shown off at the official reveal of the manufacturer's rally team in Monte Carlo.
As such, drivers will be able to find a turbocharged 2.0 TSI four-cylinder petrol engine when they pop open the Polo R WRC's bonnet – identical to the one found inside the Golf GTI.
This motor is capable of delivering such extraordinary statistics as 217bhp at 4500-6300rpm and a maximum 258lb ft of torque between 2500-4400rpm.
When it comes to the figures which will be of concern when out on the open road, the Volkswagen Polo R WRC can reach 62mph from a standstill in a mere 6.4 seconds and go on to a top speed of 151mph.
All of this power does not compromise fuel efficiency though, as the car is said to boast 38mpg on a combined cycle, while CO2 emissions are limited to a respectable 174g/km.
Away from the impressive performance of its turbocharged engine, the limited-edition Volkswagen Polo also comes complete with striking 18-inch 'Cagliari' rally-inspired alloys and a state-of-the-art bumper and grille design.
The addition of a rally-inspired lower front spoiler with large air inlets, a rear spoiler and a rear diffuser also brings the special-edition Polo in line with the World Rally Championship car it is inspired by.
Drivers will be further taken aback when they glimpse inside the Polo R WRC, where they can get comfy in WRC-badge covered seats and feel like they are rally driving when handling an Alcantara steering wheel and tapping along on racing-style foot pedals.
The special-edition Volkswagen Polo R WRC launches across the UK in September 2013.

Yesterday, on Mooney's Monday Quiz, one of our contestants was called Ger Thunder! And we thought, what an unusual and wonderful surname! So we would like to gather together as many people who have the surname Thunder, and as many with the surname Lightning, as we can! If your surname is either Thunder or Lightning, get in touch with us: email@example.com.
Tom and Jerry never got on this well!
Yesterday, listener Wanda Bourne sent us in this thirty-second video that just has to be seen to be believed. When you watch it, you'll rub your eyes and say "am I correct in what I'm looking at?!"
You see, what was on Wanda's video was her ten-year-old terrier dog Millie, and one of her four-year-old cats, called Indi (after Indiana Jones). Now Indi was contentedly suckling Millie. Indi the cat was having a right good old suckle on Millie – yes, a cat was receiving milk from a dog!
Is this possible? Is it a freak of nature? Is it commonplace? Are Millie and Indi a one-off? Well to answer some of these questions and to find out a little bit more, Brenda showed the video to our very Andrew Byrne, who was in studio yesterday, and she got his take on it...
Brenda visited Wanda in her home in Goldenfort, in Co. Wicklow, to see this most unusual phenomenon with her own eyes...

Next Thursday, tickets go on sale for tickets to see Garth Brooks on tour. Well for one group of committed fans, the chance of missing out on those tickets is unthinkable, and they've been queueing outside Stuarts Music Shop in Dungannon since Saturday! We talk to owner Raymond Stuart, and one of those fans, Roisin...
"Car clocking" is when you change the genuine odometer reading of the car in order to make the car seem like it has driven a shorter distance than it actually has. It may surprise you to learn, that as the law stands right now it is not an offence to clock a car.
In fact, there are even "mileage correction services" which - as one company declares on its website - is a service that "becomes necessary when the mileage on the electronic display differs from the value which you believe to be correct".
However, it is an offense if you go to a car dealership and somebody sells you a car and doesn't tell you it is clocked. But the actual clocking of the car in itself is ok!
So it is good news for the consumer that a upcoming amendment to the law will for the first time make it an offence to tamper with an odometer.
Motoring Correspondent Michael Sheridan, from RTÉ Online, is in studio to talk about the practice of "clocking" a car...

Today, Kanye West's tour DJ Million Dollar Mano announced that he no longer works for the Chicago rapper. It's not yet known why the two split, but this hilarious video of Mano pissing West off by fucking up on his Yeezus Tour suggests that it miiiiiight not have been a mutual decision.
The video, put together by a user of the incredible and cultish Kanye To The message board, shows Mano queueing up the wrong songs or dropping songs out to get the crowd engaged but never bringing the beat back in, leaving West standing in front of thousands of people in awkward silence. In the most painful clip, West raps his remix of Chief Keef's "I Don't Like" when Mano switches off the song for nearly 30 seconds, leaving West to passive-aggressively implore him to stop fucking up: "Like... like... Mano... like... like..."
West has not commented on his split with Mano, and reps for the rapper did not return a request for comment on the exact nature of the situation. For his part, Mano is sort of losing his mind on Twitter.
But if you're feeling bad, don't worry too much. Mano has a very historic snapback legacy, according to this one guy he retweeted.

St. Paul Duo Charged With Using Fake Cash At Strip ClubTwo St. Paul residents face criminal charges for allegedly trying to use fake $100 bills at an Inver Grove Heights strip club in December. The Dakota County Attorney's office says 34-year-old Aaron Jacobs and 24-year-old Carmina Ward were charged Thursday with counterfeiting currency and trying to pass off the phony money at the King of Diamonds Gentleman's Club.
Counterfeit Cash Showing Up At Elk River Garage SalesKara Loecken isn't out to make huge money off the tables of kids clothes and used household items set up inside her garage.
