It involves Lennie Small (a mentally-impaired GentleGiant) and George Milton, migrant workers who arrive on a California farm and hope to save up enough money to open a rabbit farm, but … things go pretty wrong.One of the most challenged books of the 20th and 21st centuries and a frequent target of censors, who criticized it for bad language,[[note]]The far-right Reform Party of Canada attempted to have it banned in public schools in the city of Winnipeg in 2000; nothing came of the effort.[[/note]] "promoting euthanasia" and being "anti-business". However, it remains very popular and is a widely used SchoolStudyMedia. It has also had several film adaptations, including theatrical releases in 1939 and 1992 and made-for-TV versions in 1968 and 1981.----!!This novel contains examples of:* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler:Lennie kills Curley's wife.]]* TheAce: Slim.* ActionPrologue: The 1939 film version opens with George and Lennie running from [[TorchesAndPitchforks an angry mob]] from Weed and jumping a passing freight train. (And it all happens before the opening credits. This was one of the first Hollywood films, if not ''the'' first, to open this way.)* AdaptationExpansion:** The 1992 film. It adds scenes not present in the book such as showing scenes where the men are working, Curley's wife flirting with George in the barn, and BookEnds where George is hitching a ride on a train.** Steinbeck's own play version of the book, in which he expands on a few characters for the purposes of drama. (Note that the ''book itself'' may be performed as a play without changing a word, and it was written for this purpose, but a few dramatists wanted a longer version.)* AndCallHimGeorge: Lennie is one of the TropeMakers. He loves cute and cuddly animals. Only he loves them too much for their safety, due to his immense and uncontrollable strength.* AssholeVictim: Curley's wife in the book, due to her threatening to have Crooks lynched. However, in the 1939 movie she is more sympathetic and does not have a problem with Crooks. * BetterToDieThanBeKilled: It's George who [[ShootTheDog decides what's best for Lennie]]: a quick, painless death he doesn't see coming, instead of a much uglier end at the hands of a lynch mob.* BeigeProse: At some points.* BewareTheNiceOnes: Curley started that fight, and Lennie finished it.* BigGuyLittleGuy: Lennie and George respectively.* BilingualBonus: Soledad, the name of the nearby town, means ''solitary''.* BodyMotifs: Curley has a hand motif: His glove full of Vaseline, his status as a prized fighter, and how his hands are [[spoiler:broken by Lennie]].* BoisterousWeakling: Curley.-->'''Candy''': S'pose Curley jumps a big guy an' licks him. Ever'body says what a game guy Curley is. [[HeadsIWinTailsYouLose And s'pose he does the same thing and gets licked.]] Then ever'body says the big guy oughtta pick on somebody his own size, and maybe they gang up on the big guy.* BookDumb: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with George. He is cunning and intelligent at times, but was too poor to afford education growing up. He also points out once that he's only smart in comparison to Lennie.* BookEnds: The story begins and ends with George and Lennie sitting by the pool by the river. At the beginning of the story, it's a sanctuary of hope and confidence. At the end, it's the place where [[spoiler: George is forced to kill his best friend.]]* BullyingADragon: Curley tries to pick a fight with Slim, and Slim ends up intimidating Curley into submission. He turns it around on Carlson, who just laughs at him. Then he turns on Lennie... * TheCaretaker: George to Lennie.* ChekhovsGun: Carlson's Luger.* ChildhoodBrainDamage: George tells the ranch owner that Lennie was kicked in the head by a horse as a child to explain why he's mentally slow. Lennie has to ask George about it afterwards as he doesn't know whether it's true or not -- George then says it's not true.* ChronicPetKiller: PlayedForDrama.* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Lennie is a deconstruction of this trope.* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: George is one of the best examples out there. He makes sure Lennie stays safe, keeps him fed, explains his oddities to other people, and finally [[ShootTheDog sends him to the afterlife himself]] rather than let a lynch mob do the job.* CompleteTheQuoteTitle: The title is taken from the Robert Burns poem "To a Mouse". The line where it occurs goes in full "The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley". It foreshadows how the plans of the main characters will go unfulfilled due to tragic circumstances.* ConspicuousGloves: Curley wears a glove full of Vaseline on one hand, supposedly because he's keeping that hand soft for his wife. This has no plot-relevant reason, but does make the theatrical adaptation easier to stage [[spoiler: when his hand gets crushed]].* ConversationCasualty: At the end of the book, George is calmly talking to Lennie about the farm they've always dreamed of; he asks Lennie to close his eyes while talking, and George pulls out a gun and shoots him in the head. A non-villainous version, as George is doing this so that Lennie will die calm and happy.* CrapsackWorld: Well, it ''is'' set in TheGreatDepression...* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Oh sure, Lennie is dumb as a post and pretty gentle to boot, but Curley's crushed hand will testify that he is not someone you provoke.* ADeathInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:Curley's wife unpacks all her secrets throughout Chapter 5, right before she gets killed.]]* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: 'Candy's been sharpening his pencil and sharpening and thinking.'* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Lennie, possibly the TropeCodifier. He kills mice just by petting them, kills a puppy by trying to play-hit it, and [[spoiler:tries to calm Curly's Wife down by shaking her, but instead breaks her neck]].* DownerEnding: C'mon, you know you cried. [[spoiler: Lennie dies and George is shattered. The farm was as much his dream as Lennie's, and he took pride and enjoyed taking care of his companion.]]* DumbMuscle: Lennie is a deconstruction of this trope, with almost all the death in the book is caused by Lennie accidentally killing something, due to his strength, and not realizing this until it is too late.* {{Foreshadowing}}: ** The whole scene about Candy's dog foreshadowed the end of the book.** Chapter 5 has been nicknamed "The Foreshadowing Chapter" by some, as almost every event in it was foreshadowed at an earlier point in the novel.* FromBadToWorse: Things weren't so good when Lennie unintentionally puts him and George into trouble more than a few times, but when [[spoiler:Curley's wife gets drawn into the picture]], that's when things start going off the deep end.* GentleGiant: Lennie is huge and loves cuddly animals and soft things. The problem is that because of his inability to control his strength, he frequently kills pets when cuddling them.* HaveAGayOldTime: Curley's wife is referred to as "jail bait" a number of times, but she is not underage, it is used to mean that the workers are worried that she would accuse them of rape if they crossed her, and end up in prison.* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: According to Slim, this is what getting in fights with Curley is like. Because he's a trained boxer he often beats guys bigger than him, but if he picks a fight and loses, there's no glory in it, and the guy who beat him often gets ostracized for beating up a small guy like Curley.** Ultimately ''subverted'' when Curley picks a fight with Lennie. Lennie is (technically) a childlike GentleGiant with no stomach for fighting, and when he crushes Curley's hand it's in self-defense, and only because George told him to. Although Curley comes out of the fight physically disabled, possibly permanently, the sympathy of the workers rests solely with Lennie.* HeterosexualLifePartners: It's very easy to mistakenly assume the two protagonists are brothers. George uses this to his advantage, telling everyone that Lennie is his cousin.* HisStoryRepeatsItself: Lennie has a history of getting in trouble for touching soft things.* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:When George, Lennie and Candy club together to raise the money to buy the ranch George talks about. It doesn't last.]]* ICouldaBeenAContender: Curley's Wife. At least she thinks so.* IJustWantToHaveFriends:** Curley's wife is lonely and just wants to talk to the workers. They avoid her because they don't want to have trouble with her husband.** Crooks longs for companionship, although he's less open about it and masks his loneliness with surliness.* INeverGotAnyLetters: Invoked.* IronicName: Lennie is a giant of a man and his last name is Small. It's lampshaded (rather obviously) by Carlson, who finds this funny.** A more subtle example is in George's name-- his surname is Milton, a reference to the author of ''Literature/ParadiseLost''.* {{Jerkass}}:** There's a reason no one on the farm likes Curley.** Carlson to a lesser extent - he's gruff and prickly, but not unlikeable.** Crooks takes a great deal of joy in picking on Lennie. And then he's put on the receiving end of it by Curley's Wife who threatens to have him lynched. ** While George's frustration with Lennie is at times understandable, there are other times when he outright verbally abuses him.* LaserGuidedKarma: When Curley picks on big guys, Lennie in particular, Lennie breaks every bone in his hand. When George and Lennie are nice to Candy, he offers them three hundred dollars to make their dream a reality. That seems to be the way it works around here.* LethallyStupid: Lennie. Not only to his pets.* LetsGetDangerous: Lennie again. A really nice guy, only to turn around and just break Curley's hand effortlessly. Be afraid.* LiteraryAllusionTitle: From Rabbie Burns' "To a Mouse". [[GeniusBonus If you know the rest of the poem]], you won't be expecting a HappyEnding.* LoserFriendPuzzlesOutsiders: Everyone wonders why such a normal guy like George hangs out with a big dumb brute like [[CloudCuckoolander Lennie.]] George claims (falsely) that they're cousins to give people an easy reason to understand.* ManChild: To Lennie, the CutenessProximity may as well be a mile wide in all directions.* MercyKill: George shoots Lennie in the back of the head to spare him the agony of being killed by Curley, locked in a cage, or whatever else may have happened.* TheNapoleon: Curley, who's small in stature, a trained boxer, and willing to fight almost anyone at the drop of a hat.* NoNameGiven: Curley's wife; The Boss.* RegalRinglets: Curley's wife has hair "coiled like sausages".* ResentfulGuardian: George once laments early on that if not for having to spend money on Lennie, and his moments of stupidity interfering with his plans, he could spend his spare cash at [[TheOldestProfession the whorehouse.]] Then again, this was said in a fit of rage that Lennie caused, and once Lennie is killed, George is not happy about the future that awaits him, as a solitary migrant worker, with no partner to make the hardships more bearable.* RuleOfSymbolism: Steinbeck's use of animals, particularly when describing Lennie in the narration. The animal metaphors are meant to symbolize Lennie's mental incapacities and simpleminded thinking. * ShootTheDog: ''Literally'', also shoot the big guy.* ShootTheShaggyDog: Steinbeck loves this trope.* SlidingScaleOfRealisticVersusFantastic: As realistic as modern literature can get.* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Curley's wife is the only female character that physically appears in the book.* SpellMyNameWithAnS: It's "Lennie" in the text, not "Lenny".* SuddenlyVoiced: Free points in your essay for saying that the bit in the last chapter where Lennie visualizes his Aunt Clara telling him off is the first and only time we actually hear what the characters are thinking. * SurvivalMantra: George's story about the farm with the rabbits is this for both him and Lennie. He's recited it so many times that Lennie has it memorized, but would rather hear it from George.* TellMeAgain: Played for its usual purpose as {{Exposition}} in the first chapter, but justified since Lennie's mental disabilities affect his short-term memory.* ThemeNaming: '''C'''urley, '''C'''arlson, '''C'''andy, '''C'''rooks... seems to be a lot of people around Soledad with names that start with '''C'''. Fittingly enough, the book is set in '''C'''alifornia.* TragicDream: After [[spoiler:Lennie accidentally kills Curley's wife]], George concedes that their dream could never have been realized.* UnusualEuphemism : "Pants rabbits." Apparently crab lice or some other type of parasite, also referred to as "greybacks" in the same scene. * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Curley's wife's actions near the end made things go downhill from there.* VagabondBuddies: George and Lennie.* WhamEpisode: Chapter 5.* YankTheDogsChain: The entire novel is built on this trope.----

Two teenage killers will each spend more than a decade behind
bars for the "brutal, cruel and highly callous" murder of a
south Auckland man.
After a prolonged assault, Tamati Tupe was left dead on a Mt
Wellington street in late September 2012. His killers were
aged 15 and 17.
The pair, John Adams, now 17, and Joel Lo, now 19, were
earlier this year found guilty of the murder.
In the High Court at Auckland today, both were jailed for
life. Adams was given a non-parole period of 14 years and Lo
12 years.
Justice John Fogarty said Adams was the main offender, having
subjected Mr Tupe, 23, to numerous assaults over a two-hour
period, at three locations.
Lo joined in near the end, claiming at his trial he had only
delivered one blow to the face.
Adams, however, had kicked Mr Tupe's head "like a football"
and punched and stomped him.
"There can be no doubt in your case the you killed Tamati
Tupe," Justice Fogarty told Adams.
"There's no doubt that this prolonged assault by you was
brutal, cruel and highly callous".
Adams had been drinking all day when he killed Mr Tupe, who
the judge said was a "totally innocent young man who gave no
provocation". He was in the area because his car had broken
That morning Adams' mother got up at 3am and from then on the
family boozed away the hours. Adams estimated he knocked back
50 cans of pre-mix bourbon drinks and smoked half a tinnie of
However, the judge believed Adams was remorseful for what he
had done and gave him some discount in sentencing for his
Justice Fogarty wasn't so convinced by Lo's remorse.
His lawyer Mele Tuilotolava said Lo had turned to God while
in prison and wanted to make an apology in court to Mr Tupe's
family. They decided they weren't ready for that.
Outside court Mr Tupe's brother, Eugene Tupe, said Lo and
Adams deserved their sentences, while his uncle Takapari
Waata thought they deserved more, whatever the judge imposed.
Several members of Mr Tupe's family spoke of the importance
of family in keeping young people on track.
Today's sentencing brought the "sad and tragic case'' to
conclusion, police said.
Counties-Manukau Detective Inspector Dave Lynch said police
wanted to pay tribute to Tamati Tupe, an ``all round nice
guy'' who had a promising career as a mechanic.
Mr Tupe had turned his life around after a tough start,
losing both parents at an early age, Mr Lynch said.
His brother Maurice died in a car accident, and another
family member who cared for him died soon after that.
"After growing up in these challenging circumstances, Tamati
went on to become someone who was regarded as an all round
nice guy and had a promising career as a mechanic.
"His life and story could well have been an inspiration to us
all and the fact he was killed in such a senseless and
barbaric manner is a tragedy.''
Mr Lynch thanked Mr Tupe's whanau for their assistance during
the investigation and the trial process "which was no doubt
difficult for them''.

Thanks to Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!, Collectable Card Games (CCGs) have gone from niche pastime to massive business - one that gamers have been made increasingly aware of. Not that CCGs are strangers to the computer screen - online games Sanctum and Chron X have been combining the two since the late '90s. Now Eye of Judgment, developed in conjunction with Wizards of the Coast - responsible for Magic: The Gathering -is threatening an evolution in CCGs.

The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses has published a guide on implementation of recommended practices for prevention of retained surgical items. The guide, which appears in the February issue of AORN Journal, is the third in a series of AORN articles designed to bridge the gap between standards and implementation.
Strategies for implementing the recommended practices for prevention of retained surgical items include establishing an active role for the perioperative RN in providing an accurate accounting of items dispensed before and during a surgical or invasive procedure, using appropriate detection technologies, and advocating for patients through collaboration with risk managers and other professional colleagues.
"Procedures should include counts of soft goods, needles, miscellaneous items, and instruments, and efforts should be made to prevent retention of fragments of broken devices," wrote guide authors Judith L. Goldberg, RN, MSN, CNOR, CRCST, and David L. Feldman, MD, MBA, CPE, FACS.
"If a count discrepancy occurs, the perioperative team should follow procedures to locate the missing item. Perioperative leaders may consider the use of adjunct technologies such as bar-code scanning, radio-frequency detection and radio-frequency identification."
Each article in the Journal's implementation series features a recommended practices summary that can serve as a reference, a visual aid, a means to resolve disputes and materials to help prepare for the CNOR exam. The guide focuses on a single recommended practice document, describing significant changes, areas of risk or concern, elements of compliance with accreditation and regulatory requirements, and strategies for successful implementation.

MONTEVIDEO (Reuters) - Uruguay will issue a new benchmark bond of up to $2 billion due in 2024, the government said in an official decree on Tuesday as part of a debt buy-back program aimed at improving the South American country's credit profile.
Up to half the proceeds of the deal will be used to purchase outstanding government bonds, the decree said.
Uruguay's economy ministry gave initial price guidance of 200 basis points over comparable U.S. treasuries, according to IFR, a unit of Thomson Reuters.
The ministry's debt director, Azucena Arbeleche, told Reuters that results of the sale, managed by HSBC and Deutsche Bank, would be announced on Wednesday.
Uruguay's outstanding bonds include $166.8 million in 2015 debt paying interest of 7.15 percent, $96 million of 2017 bonds paying 9.25 percent, $1.23 billion in 2022 bonds paying 8 percent and $391.9 million in 2025 bonds paying 6.875 percent.
In November of last year, the South American country sold $500 million in 2045 global bonds at a yield of 4.125 percent, as part of a debt liability operation that included a swap for shorter-dated paper and cash buy-back's.

The structure of macro infaunal (>0.5 mm sieve size) assemblages was examined in samples of unconsolidated substrates collected during the summers of 1994–1997 at 208 stations throughout North Carolina estuaries. Numerical classification (cluster analysis) of stations resulted in 14 distinct site groups that reflected discernible habitatrelated patterns in species distributions. Multiple discriminant analysis, performed on synoptic abiotic variables (depth, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, percent silt-clay), showed that the separation of site groups was related primarily to salinity. Percent silt-clay had a secondary influence on the separation of sites within similar salinity zones. Species diversity among site groups generally decreased with decreasing salinity and increasing mud content of sediment. Nodal analysis showed a wide range in constancy and fidelity of species assemblages within site groups. Some assemblages dominated by euryhaline species had no particular affinity with any one site group. The strongest affinities, as evidenced by high values of both constancy and fidelity, were displayed by an assemblage of oligochaetes, insect larvae, gammaridean amphipods, and the clamCorbicula fluminea in tidal freshwater muds; and an assemblage of haustoriid amphipods, the bivalveDonax variabilis, the polychaeteParaonis fulgens, and unidentified echinoids at high-salinity sites in outer Pamlico Sound near ocean inlets. A series of stations with impaired benthic assemblages in polluted habitats emerged from the cluster analysis and was distinguishable from other site groups that reflected a greater influence of natural controlling factors (such as salinity and sediment type) on species distributions. These results suggest that the interaction of both anthropogenic and natural environmental controlling factors is important in defining the structure of these infaunal assemblages.

The tropical disturbance in the western Caribbean Sea remains disorganized, but has a large area of thunderstorms covering an area from Cuba to Honduras to Jamaica associated with it. Surface pressures are falling over this area. For example, a pressure/wind plot from buoy 42056 about 100 miles southeast of Cancun, Mexico shows a steady drop in pressure the past two days (with an oscillation due to the daily pressure wave triggered by solar heating of the atmosphere also seen). However, the surface circulation center is weak and displaced to the southwest of the main convection, and there is poor upper-level outflow and no sign of low-level spiral banding.
Wind shear over the system is unchanged at 5 - 10 knots, and is forecast to remain the same or decrease as the system moves northwest towards the Yucatan Peninsula or Western Cuba. I still expect this system to eventually develop into a tropical depression, but not today. The hurricane hunters are on call today in case some dramatic development starts to occur, though. A small upper-level anticyclone remains over the system, and this favorable upper-level wind pattern is forecast to persist for the next few days. The system has plenty of moist air surrounding it, and will continue to do so for at least one more day. As the system moves closer to the Gulf of Mexico, it will have some dry air to contend with, since the Gulf is filled with relatively dry air, and there is always dry air over the high plateaus of the Yucatan that might get sucked in.
If the system does manage to develop, the Mexican Gulf Coast or Texas look like the most likely targets. The only model that develops the system into a tropical storm is the GFDL, which forecasts a motion past the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula northwestward, then a turn to the west-southwest as a strong ridge of high pressure builds over the Gulf of Mexico. The GFDL forecasts intensification into a Category 1 hurricane and a strike on the Mexican coast south of Brownsville on Tuesday. The GFS model, on the other hand, does not strengthen the ridge as much, and takes the system into South Texas Tuesday. Both of these solutions may be too fast, as some of the other computer models indicate that the system may linger near the Yucatan Peninsula for five or more days.
Figure 1. BAMM and GFDL track forecasts.
Southeast U.S.
Several of the global computer models continue to forecast that a tropical storm may form near the Bahama Islands on Monday or Tuesday. Any system forming in this region would be forced westward or west-southwestward into the Southeast Coast by a strong ridge of high pressure building in. There is as yet no sign of this development occurring, but this is the same area Katrina and Rita formed, so extra attention should be focused on this area.
A concentrated area of thunderstorms about 600 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands has developed a spin. There is some evidence of spiral banding and upper-level outflow channels beginning to form, and this disturbance could very well become Tropical Depression 19 and Tropical Storm Stan in the next day or two. The system is expected to move slowly northwest for the next five days and not threaten any land areas.
Hawaii is watching Tropical Depression Kenneth, which is dissipating as it approaches the Big Island. The remnants of Kenneth may bring heavy rains and the threat of flash flooding to the islands Saturday.
The Baja Peninsula is watching Hurricane Otis, which may strike the central Baja Peninsula on Sunday. Otis is taking a path very close to the Baja coast, where a narrow tongue of warm water will enable him to maintain hurricane intensity at a much further north point than most East Pacific hurricanes are able to. A hurricane watch has been issued for much of the Baja Peninsula.
Otis's remnants are a good bet to bring heavy rains and flooding to Arizona and northern Mexico early next week.
Super Typhoon Langwang, a small but intense typhoon with 150 mph sustained winds, is headed towards China and may hit northern Taiwan as a Category 4 storm on Sunday. Longwang is expected to gradually weaken but still hit mainland China on Monday as a Category 3 storm.

Product Description
From the Back Cover
She came in the rain. Alone. On a bicycle.
Annie and Max Darling are completely unprepared when the arrival of a mysterious young woman shocks their sea island and stirs up more than just gossip.
It turns out that Iris, the beautiful stranger, is a former resident of Broward's Rock. Her arrival throws the normally happy town into a downward spiral that pits neighbor against neighbor.
Things take a turn for the worse when Annie befriends Iris and invites her to attend the Darlings' party at the pavilion where Death is the uninvited guest. Suddenly, Max and Annie find themselves in the middle of a fight they don't understand and at the mercy of an unknown assailant who's trying to kill them—and all they know is that it is one of their friends.
About the Author
An accomplished master of mystery, Carolyn Hart is the author of twenty previous Death on Demand novels. Her books have won multiple Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Awards. She is also the creator of the Henrie O series, featuring a retired reporter, and the Bailey Ruth series, starring an impetuous, redheaded ghost. One of the founders of Sisters in Crime, Hart lives in Oklahoma City.

However the Darling gala abruptly ends when Iris' corpse is found; someone strangled her to death. Police Chief Billy Cameron demands a promise from Annie that she will stay out of the investigation that he (and his team) is conducting; she agrees. However, eccentric islander mystery writer Emma Clyde sees a novel coming from the Tilford homicide so investigates until she is knocked out of the game. When the unknown culprit appears to target the Darling duet, Death on Demand bookstore owner Annie and private investigator Max break their pledge to Cameron and begin snooping.
As always with the wonderful Death on Demand series (see DEATH WALKED IN), fans receive an engaging whodunit with many interwoven references to other mystery authors and their titles. The story line has an Agatha Christie feel to it in which almost any moment Inspector Poirot (instead of Annie and Max) will gather the suspects together and challenge each of their alibis in a group interrogation that brings out the past and present. Fans will enjoy the latest cozy as the Darlings try to prevent further killings especially their own.
Harriet Klausner
Anticipation of the gala at the Harbor elicits mixed reactions among the guests who have been invited, close friends of the Darlings. A well-to-do product of Broward's Rock, Max has gathered long-time "tennis club" associates into his and Annie's social circle. But a mysterious young woman arrives this day. "She comes in the rain, alone, on a bicycle."
Iris is a former island resident, long removed in time and place from her past life as a teenager here. She has dealt with personal demons --- drugs, alcohol and homelessness --- but returns to cleanse the memory of a night when her dear friend, Jocelyn, dies. She must discover the truth.
Meanwhile, Annie tends to business at her bookstore, Death on Demand. She welcomes local mystery writer Emma Clyde, who has developed a case of writer's block. While sympathizing with Emma's dilemma, Annie's plans change when her manager, Ingrid, is called out of town for a family medical emergency. Ingrid and Duane own Nightingale Courts, the local motel. Annie offers that the Darlings stay at the Courts and tidy up cabins for Ingrid's guests. Besides, she and Max need a temporary home until their new one is livable. Iris is the lone resident this weekend at Nightingale Courts. Emma overhears the talk and perks up at the thought of a girl on a bike who has just arrived, perhaps a storyline for her new book. Emma goes to the motel, carries an armful of towels to Iris's room on pretense of being a maid. Snooping for her book's plot seems a normal occurrence. However, she takes a nasty fall and lands in the hospital with partial amnesia.
In the course of housekeeping at Nightingale Courts, Annie visits with the shy Iris, lends her a suit for a swim and invites her to their party that evening. She is certain that Iris will renew old acquaintances among the good friends who will attend. Finally, party time arrives, punctuated by a sinister event: Iris's murder in the woods at the Pavilion's edge.
Now the Darlings trust no one, especially none of the couples they've befriended. These friends comprised the tight group as teens who ran with Iris, her pal Jocelyn, and Jocelyn's brother. Annie promises not to interfere with the local investigation, but breaks that vow when she and Max are victims of arson at the motel. Shaken, with Max's feet burned, Annie's mission focuses on their attacker.
Annie assists Billy, the local sheriff, in finding out where Fran, Buck, Russell, Liz and Cara were at the time Iris disappeared. Their whereabouts will likely explain Jocelyn's untimely death years before. Annie believes the two are connected.
Carolyn Hart's newest story fulfills a weekend's entertainment. My empathy, however, waned with Annie's stubbornness. Previous Death on Demand books evened the pair's involvement, which I found more desirable. Max is likable in DARE TO DIE, but Annie overshadows him. He is confined to a wheelchair during the latter chapters, a circumstance that might have been altered. Sleuthing in the formula of "Murder, She Wrote" tends to supposition rather than action.
Like earlier books in the series, DARE TO DIE follows the antics of a likable couple who solves mysteries in their secluded island home. The Death on Demand bookstore, as a setting element, completes the spice.
--- Reviewed by Judy Gigstad
Annie owns the Death on Demand, a mystery bookshop on Froward's Rock, off the So. Carolina coast. She and her husband Max are nearing the end of a home restoration project and have planned a party. Plans, however, go awry when additional damage delays the completion, so the two plan to hold their party at the Harbor Pavilion. Meanwhile, Annie and Max are temporarily residing at a cottage at Nightingale Courts, the local motel owned by friends Ingrid and Duane. When Ingrid's sister is hospitalized, Annie agrees to help out at Nightingale Courts and leaves the bookshop to be run by her somewhat ditzy mother-in-law.
Annie and max have invited members of their social circle to the party, and each has accepted but each has reservations about the event where several of them were present when Jocelyn, one of their schoolmates mysteriously drowned ten years earlier. Now, another member of that group, Iris, has returned to the island. She's booked a cottage at Nightingale Courts, and since she's alone, Annie invites her to come to the party.
Later that night, Iris is found murdered, and Annie can't help but wonder what's behind the mystery. Soon, an arson attempt is made on Annie and Max, and the need to discover long-buried secrets becomes foremost in Annie's life. But at what cost to her and Max?
Many characters appear in Dare to Die. This is my first Carolyn Hart book, so I was a bit slow in catching up to characters appearing in previous stories in the series. But once their histories and motives were explained, I was well-engaged in learning who and what was behind the murders. Several of their friends had motives to hide the truth. Watching Annie ferret out these motives proved interesting. The ending was suspenseful and kept me guessing. As with a Poirot mystery, all the possible suspects were confronted and the reader was left to wonder until the very end.
A well-plotted and entertaining cozy, Dare To Die has made this reviewer a new Carolyn Hart fan.

Interesting article, although a question kept nagging me throughout – did worker benefits like safe conditions and even Saturday's off all come about because of productivity gains or did union pressure have something to do with it?

Tyler, anyone who has studied history knows that virtually ALL those gains came
about as a result of unionization of workers.
Which is exactly why the Koch Brothers, ALEC, and other conservative front groups are doing their best to kill unions today. They are drooling at the chance to return to the days of Gatsby.

Technically I am in the middle class. I am much worse off than I was 10, 15 or 20 years ago. I drive lousier cars, my buying power is worse, my savings is negligible. My wages have been stagnant and job benefits lessened. I don't think I'm alone. I'm hopeful things will get better...

There is evidence that technoligical advancements created a larger and wealthier middle class. A backhoe operator digs a ditch more efficiently than a man with a shovel, and is worth more money. Ironically, Unions have and still do fight these improvements. They would rather have 20 men with shovels paying union dues than 1 backhoe operator.

The Jazz Age was a phrase Fitzgerald coined that became a popular label for the 1920s. But back then, 'the lost generation' was a quite different phrase being used to describe the disillusionment that set in following the Great War. I don't know which phrase was most in vogue back then but you couldn't ask for a starker contrast.

The first and most important one is that I added a sidebar to the code which is working great in the front page but when I open a post the sidebar goes to the bottom of the page and gets hidden by under the GRID.
I need the sidebar to ALWAYS stay in the same place as in the front page and functioning perfectly IN EVERY SINGLE PAGE I OPEN OR GO TO IN THE BLOG.
Here is the blog for your reference:
Also, the front page works fine in every browser except EXPLORER. Please open it with firefox, chrome or safari to see how is suppose to work and if you have any idea of how to fix the explorer problem also I would really appreciate your help.

"People" magazine named Eloisa James' novel Midnight Pleasures Page Turner of the Week and raved Romance writing does not get much better than this. Now the acclaimed author returns with another sumptuous tale of passion and misadventure in Regency England....
Gabrielle Jerningham cherishes the portrait of her betrothed, the perfect Peter Dewland...until she meets his commanding older brother Quill. But it is Peter to whom she has been promised. And how can she possibly transform her voluptuous, outspoken self into the poised gentlewoman Peter requires?
When Gabby's shocking decolletage plunges to her waist at her first ball, Peter is humiliated. But Quill comes to the rescue, to the peril of his heart.

i have a blog that is hosted by yahoo. they weren't automatically updating the wordpress version to the current one. it was 2.02. so they told me to do it manually following the directions created by wordpress.
I did and while I can still see my blog, I can't access the dashboard to make any changes or updates.
I did backup before I did an update, however.
Would it be okay to restart everything and then add the backup afterwards?
Any help you could give me, I would appreciate it.

Intel, Qualcomm will speak on mobile chip development
Mike Rogoway, The Oregonian By Mike Rogoway, The Oregonian
on March 15, 2013 at 11:55 AM
Few companies illustrate the impact of the mobile computing revolution better than Qualcomm and Intel.
Qualcomm has enjoyed a surge of business as electronics demand shifts from the PC to mobile devices, with wireless capabilities tightly integrated with microprocessors.
Sales leaped nearly 30 percent last year despite an overall poor year for the chip industry. With a market capitalization topping $110 billion, and its stock near its highest point since the XXXXX era, Qualcomm surpassed Intel last year as the world's most valuable semiconductor company.
Intel's sales are more than double Qualcomm's, but those revenues -- and its share price -- are stagnant. Reliant on the slumbering PC industry, Intel has been unable to gain traction in the mobile market.
Another big difference: Intel makes its own chips, and bears the cost of all its technology upgrades. Qualcomm contracts that work out. Over time, Intel's manufacturing prowess may give it an advantage -- but that's a long game.
The contrasting visions will be on stark display May 1 at a breakfast forum organized by SEMI, a trade group of chip industry suppliers.
The event pairs Qualcomm director of business development Samir Kumar with Rohit Vidwans, director of products for Atom -- Intel's mobile chip.
The May 1 event, at Intel's Ronler Acres campus in Hillsboro, begins at 8 a.m. Advance tickets are $55 for SEMI members, or $75 for nonmembers. (Prices go up $20 after April 17.)

Hi there,
I've neglected this for a while. Bit of a mixture of SEO question and wordpress.
I have my own custom meta tags for my site but they stay the same for each page/post. So... is it better to have custom tags for every post and if so, what's the best way to do that?
The answer to this will be most helpful. Thanks in advance :)

Isometric data embedding using geodesic distance requires the construction of a connected neighborhood graph so that the geodesic distance between every pair of data points can be estimated. This paper proposes an approach for constructing k-connected neighborhood graphs. The approach works by applying a greedy algorithm to add each edge, in a nondecreasing order of edge length, to a neighborhood graph if end vertices of the edge are not yet k-connected on the graph. The k-connectedness between vertices is tested using a network flow technique by assigning every vertex a unit flow capacity. This approach is applicable to a wide range of data. Experiments show that it gives better estimation of geodesic distances than other approaches, especially when the data are undersampled or nonuniformly distributed.

Chef Guy Wong is standing at the tank of live blue crabs at the Buford Highway Farmers Market with tongs in his hand, shuffling through the bright crustaceans with a quick but casual touch. He flips one over, tosses a small one to the side, and inspects the belly of a third. All of this rustling gets the attention of a crab to his left. The crab stands up on her legs and puts her claws up at him, like a boxer defending a corner of the ring. He snaps the tongs in her direction and she snaps right back. Wong has found what he's looking for. A fighter. She goes in the bag.
The 30-year-old chef shops here most days of the week before heading into Miso Izakaya, the restaurant he opened three years ago on the edge of the now-fashionable Old Fourth Ward. He keeps a cap pulled down tight on his head and navigates the aisles as if he's memorized every turn, tossing a bag of snow pea shoots in here, grabbing a jar of Hondashi there. It's tempting to say that he works with the methodical efficiency of an accountant because, well, he is one. At least, he was an accountant.
Born and raised in Atlanta, Wong has been around restaurants for most of his life. His parents, Chinese immigrants, had a Cantonese restaurant called Sam's Gourmet in Sandy Springs in the early '90s. "A lot of Asian American kids who grow up around that do anything they can to try to get away from the restaurant business," Wong says. With that attitude in mind, he attended Georgia State University for a degree in accounting. He got an office job. Then, he got bored. He says, "It felt like being in school all day."
He quit his job and spent about a year in Osaka, Japan, attending culinary school. He came back with the plan to open an izakaya, or Japanese small-plate pub. Three years after opening Miso, he's hit a creative stride. His open-face steam buns with roast duck have attracted crowds. Dishes like Berkshire pork kakuni over stone-ground grits evoked an ode to his creative use of Southern influence from the AJC's John Kessler. Creative Loafing's food critic Besha Rodell named his soft-cooked egg on rice cake one of her favorite local dishes.
All of that praise seems to have encouraged Wong, but he doesn't seem beholden to it. Not long after Atlanta magazine named his ramen the best in the city, he took it off the menu because the elaborate preparation was interfering with executing the rest of the menu. He talks excitedly about future plans, about continuing to innovate. He has little patience and interest for the past. The buzz around his steam buns led him recently to a partnership in a new fast-casual, dim sum concept, Yum Bunz, that he expects will open in August or September of this year. He aims to continue his constant reworking and changing of the menu at Miso.
At home, Wong says he feels a little out of place in his own kitchen. His wife, Seven, seems to have a better handle on it. She quickly whips up some formula for their 8-month-old, Aiden, before Wong gets started working in the kitchen. The counters are quickly covered in snow pea tendrils and garlic skins and cornstarch for the shrimp and ginger peels. Before long, Seven is beside him, helping prep and clean, while Aiden runs amok in a baby walker. A stick of incense burns in a shrine. It's a family scene.
With a very basic setup in the backyard, just a propane tank and a burner set on some bricks, he cooks the shrimp to a fried crisp. With head and shell still on, the large shrimp can cook longer but still be tender by the end. As they fry in the wok, liquid seeps from the heads turning them bright red. The finished shrimp are greasy, sweet, and savory treats. The crunch of the shell perfectly contrasts the burst of tender meat.
The real centerpiece of the meal is Wong's take on Chawan Mushi. Using the crabs, a couple eggs, a slice of bacon, and a couple of handy techniques (straining, steaming), Wong makes a variation on the traditional Japanese egg custard that is as complex as it is comforting. There is the salty flavor of crab, the umami savor of dashi, the silky texture of egg, and the crisp snap of bacon all in one bite. It's a multifaceted, globe-trotting dish and it's bacon and eggs at the same time. All of this somehow fits just right in a Ball jar.
Wong's real strengths as a chef lie in this ability to weave his influences together until you can't really find the place where one ends and the other begins. He bristles at the notion of calling this fusion. "Ryan Smith [chef of Empire State South] has kimchee grits on his menu. If a guy like that does it, it's his creative genius, but if the Asian guy does it, it's fusion." He riffs on that idea for a while as we eat, laughing between giving little jabs like, "Hugh Acheson [author of A Turn in the South] is from CANADA." Wong comes across as proud to be a lifelong Atlantan.
Spread out on the counter in front of him, there are fried shrimp and crab shells and a bowl of simple sautéed greens and food in Ball jars. It sure does look like we're eating in the South.
