GREENWICH TWP. -- Police Tuesday arrested a burglary suspect, recovered stolen property and seized a 3-foot-long alligator.
At about 10 a.m., police went to arrest a suspect in a burglary that took place at Chick's Hobby Shop on Thompson Avenue on Nov. 19, police said.
Approximately $20,000 worth of cash and merchandise was stolen in that burglary, said police.
Township police, assisted by Paulsboro police and Gloucester County Sheriff's Officers, arrested Robert M. Hess, 24, at his North Delaware Street apartment without incident -- but a search of the residence turned up a 3-foot long alligator in a plastic tub in the bedroom.
New Jersey Fish and Game officers took custody of the animal.
Detectives then went to an apartment on North Broad Street in Woodbury where, with the assistance of Woodbury police, they found approximately $15,000 worth of electric trains and radio-controlled racing cars, said police.
Hess, who has more than one address, was charged with burglary, theft and criminal mischief. He was also wanted on several warrants in Gloucester and Salem counties, including a no-bail fugitive warrant from Salem County.
Hess was lodged in the Gloucester County Jail in Woodbury in default of $10,000 full cash bail, police said.
Additional complaints are pending from Paulsboro police and from the state agency, for possession of the alligator.
The two-month investigation was conducted by Detective Sgt. William Leash and Ptl. Kevin Villanova.

Evergreen Cardiology Care Center opens new clinic
The Evergreen Cardiology Care Center has opened a new clinic in the Woodinville Medical Center. "There were no cardiologists located in Woodinville north to Monroe to make it convenient for cardiac patients," said Dr. Dennis Enomoto, founder of Evergreen Cardiology Care Center. "The growth in the area certainly warrants the decision to open this clinic."
Dr. Dennis Enomoto and Dr. Joseph Condon, Jr. will be seeing patients on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 5 p.m. The new Evergreen Cardiology Care Clinic is located in the Woodinville Medical Center, 17000 140th Ave. NE, Suite 205. Call 882-4700.

Aquatic therapy
As a physical therapist and member of an interdisciplinary team at Northwest Medical Arts,Shiri Krasner-Rosenstein offers a form of aquatic therapy called WATSU at the Sorenson Pool in Woodinville. Patients at Northwest Medical Arts, a clinic for chronic pain treatment and preventive medicine, receive pressure point massage in 93-degree temperature to relax and strengthen muscles. Stress is relieved from the body through the use of floating devices. According to Krasner-Rosenstein, patients report increased ability to move and to sleep, and a desire to "stay in the water." WATSU was developed in the 1980s based on the ancient principles of Zen Shiatsu.

Why do leaves change color?
Cool fall nights, especially with sunny daytime weather, cause photosynthesis, the process trees use for making nutrients, to slow down. When this happens, the green color fades, revealing yellow or orange pigments already in the leaves. Red leaves occur when the tree's sugars become trapped in the leaves.

Today you can read about the very slow start for enrollment in the new health-care plan, court rulings involving abortion in Texas and "stop-and-frisk" in New York, and other news.
Enrollment slow during first days of Obamacare: Notes from an Obama administration meeting about the problem-plagued ObamaCare website indicate only six people signed up for the health care law on its first day, according to documents released by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The Obama administration has thus far not released any official numbers on ObamaCare enrollment, saying the first numbers would be released in mid-November after the HHS collects data from a variety of different sources. A HHS spokesman told Fox News the documents "appear to be notes," and do not include official enrollment statistics. (Fox News)
Israeli jets attack Syrian military base: Israeli aircraft have carried out a strike near the Syrian coastal city of Latakia, a U.S. official says. The official said the strike targeted Russian-made missiles intended for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. (BBC)
Court allows Texas law on abortion to move forward: Only three days after a federal judge blocked a new Texas law that threatened to shut down many of the state's abortion clinics, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed the decision, saying the rule should take effect while the case is argued in the months to come. (New York Times)
'Stop-and-frisk' can continue in New York: A federal appeals court Thursday blocked a ruling curtailing the New York Police Department's "stop-and-frisk" program, an order that could rattle the New York City political landscape and reverberate in law-enforcement agencies nationwide. (Wall Street Journal)
Deadly storms hit central U.S.: Severe thunderstorms delivered a frightening, and in at least one case tragic, Halloween across the nation's midsection Thursday as torrential rains flooded Central Texas, brought threats of tornadoes in several states and knocked down power lines that led to a 9-year-old Tennessee boy's death.

Easy Cheezy Kids Pasta – Dairy-Freekathypatalsky
Easy Cheezy Pasta and Peas has long been one of my favorite recipes for kids. And really for adults too! This recipe is a great go-to pasta dish for the back to school season. It's something I always pull out of my hat when I'm cooking for kids. They love it! Probably because it looks, smells and tastes like traditional Mac 'n Cheese. But it's actually hiding a healthy secret…
..This stuff is vegan! Dairy-free. Healthier for all, yet still delicious.
And the best part for mom and dad is that this entire dish can be prepared in under 15 minutes. Really! Perfect for an easy dinner, after-school bite or even a school lunch. Since there is actually no dairy in this recipe – it could easily keep in a ice-packed lunchbox til noon. Serve warm or cold! This cozy comfort food bowl will make them feel good all day long! Plus the peas add a nice boost of fiber, sweetness and veggie protein!..
Cheezy Vegan Kids Pasta and Peas
vegan, makes about 5 cups pasta
1 box of kid-sized pasta – 8 ounces dry
*I used a gluten free corn based tube pasta, you can use anything small
splash of EVOO
2 Tbsp vegan butter OR 2 Tbsp EVOO + 1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp garlic paste
1/2 – 3/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
2 Tbsp 21-seasoning blend (like Mrs Dash, salt-free)
salt/pepper to taste
optional: 1-2 Tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for a bright accent
To Make:
1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta. Cook for about 6-8 minutes (or as on box). During last minute, add in the frozen peas. I like to do this in a strainer so that they don't get mixed up with the pasta just yet – but still cook through.
2. Drain pasta and set aside cooked peas.
3. Add pasta to a large mixing bowl and add in a splash of EVOO – toss well.
4. Next, add in either more EVOO or the vegan butter. Toss until well distributed.
5. Add in the garlic and toss.
6. Lastly, add in the spices and nutritional yeast. You can add more nutritional yeast if you'd like – depending on how savory and cheezy you want it. Salt and pepper to taste.
7. Lastly, fold in the peas. Serve warm or stick in fridge until ready for use.
You can also try my creamier, cheezier version of this dish: Cheez, Peas & Pasta

Art, and the Art of Repose
By Terri Robertson
We work on a beautiful campus, but sometimes we're so busy that we forget to stop and enjoy it. Outdoor works of art, like the revolving sculpture garden at Woods Quad or the striking figures that keep watch at the corner of Hackberry Lane and University Boulevard, make us take notice.
"It gives you something else to think about, even if it's 'Why the heck did they put something like that there?' It breaks up your thinking. It gives you a moment for repose," said Craig Wedderspoon, associate professor of art. There is another benefit to that moment of art-inspired repose: Visiting UA's outdoor artwork requires walking, and that gets you out of your chair and closer to the recommended goal of 30 minutes of exercise a day.
"Exercising regularly can help you to control weight, reduce health risks, boost energy and promote better sleep," said Dr. Rebecca Kelly, director of the Office of Health Promotion and Wellness. "The key is to find something you enjoy. The more creative and engaging the activity is, the more likely you are to keep doing it."
So the next time you need a break from your office, why not put on your walking shoes and explore UA's outdoor art? The following tour is a little more than 1 mile or about 2,100 steps. Begin and end at Denny Chimes to make a complete loop. See the map below for the locations of each tour stop.
The Tour
1. The decorative vase in front of the President's Mansion was given to UA by Jack Warner, a prominent collector of American art who acquired the piece in New York.
2. "Icarus and the Guardian Angels," by Be Gardiner, is located in Gribbin Park. (On your way there, take the scenic route along the meandering sidewalk in front of Little Hall and through Malone-Hood Plaza.) Much like the mythological Icarus, whose wings of wax melted when he flew too close to the sun, this marble and travertine version has also suffered a fall: Less than a week after the sculpture arrived on campus for the 1991 Alabama Biennial, it was vandalized – a story that made The New York Times.
3. By the Bureau of Mines Building, you'll see "Pent/La Buidhe Bealltain," a cast iron and bronze arch by George Beasley. In Irish Gaelic, "La Buidhe Bealltain" translates to "Bright May Day," referring to the festival we know as May Day.
4. "Walt Whitman Cult Wagon," the cast-iron, rock-filled boat on wheels located in front of the Sarah Moody Gallery of Art, will be of particular interest to Walt Whitman fans. According to artist Peter Flanary, the piece is "not strictly a depiction of Whitman, but rather a meditation on Whitmanesque poetics in the form of sculpture."
5. As you enter Woods Quad, you'll see a painted steel tower on your left. "Homage to Brancusi," by Billy Lee, was inspired by Constantin Brancusi's "Endless Column." Lee's sculpture may seem simple at first glance, but the repetition can make certain elements appear concave or convex, creating ambiguity and surprise.
6. "Goldie 1971," by former UA graduate student Joe McCreary, has ties to the history of Birmingham's Sloss Furnace, which was built before the era of welding technology (hence the rivets). Before Sloss Furnace was shut down in 1971, the last welder to patch a crack in the main furnace signed his work "Goldie 1971." The iron and steel giant lies on its side, symbolic of the furnace's closing.
7. The artwork at the center of Woods Quad changes every few years. "Argyle," an aluminum sculpture by Wedderspoon, is the second piece to be exhibited here. Based on the pattern of traditional Scottish Argyle, the piece explores the three-dimensional qualities of quilts and textiles.
8. "Montgomery Marker," a cast-bronze sculpture by Wedderspoon, honors two UA alumni, Mary Montgomery and her late husband Robert, for their support of the arts.
9. "Phoenix" by Andrew Arvanetes is located in front of Manly Hall. In this oxidized steel interpretation of the mythological creature, the artist used architectural references, such as an "interior stairwell symbolizing the journey from birth to death," to move the viewer through the passage of time.
More About UA's Outdoor Art
Alabama Biennial, founded by UA Professor Emeritus Arthur Oakes, was a juried exhibition of outdoor sculpture held at UA in 1991, 1993 and 1995. Through Professor Oakes' vision and skill, it gained renown as an important outdoor sculpture exhibition in the South, and in 1995 the event's purchase award was named for him. The artwork featured in items 2-5 and 9 are purchase award winners from this exhibition.
Several sculptures on this tour (2, 3 and 5) are part the Smithsonian Institution's Save Our Sculpture project.

Zippy scrams right over the dam at El Rancho Deluxe
Our little wedge of the picturesque hill country, El Rancho Deluxe, is one educational laff-riot after another. This month we're learning all about the extraordinary properties of water. I allude specifically to the remarkable efficiency with which water can decimate an innocent bank account. It was discovered, for example, that digging the 30,000 gallon hole for the cistern is going to cost gazillions more than what they'd thought. Solid rock two inches under the topsoil, my foot. Cha-ching!
And later this week I'm meeting with a wildlife biologist who is going to tell me how to keep my riparian ecosystem from imploding. The solution will probably involve a small army of illegal aliens planting dainty native mosses, building costly floodgates, and stocking the riverside with rare salamanders. Cha-ching!
And The County just informed me that in order to keep my wildlife management status I have to provide "supplemental water" for the local vertebrates. Water! I protested, that's the last
thing they need; there's a fucking river running through the middle of El Rancho Deluxe! If anything I should be stationing lifeguards and distributing flotation devices! But The County remains unmoved by my appeal. They will be satisfied only when I have befouled the pristine countryside with a series of ugly rainwater collection contraptions, at 900 bucks a pop. Clearly the patriarchy has its hooks into The County pretty deep.
Admittedly, a wildlife management designation, in addition to being a boon for the biosphere, also features a handy and jumbo tax exemption for the gentleman farmer. But still.

The following experiments were undertaken with the aim of ascertaining, if possible, whether extracts of stools from cases of essential progressive pernicious anemia contain hemolysing substances not found in normal stools, nor in stools from other diseases. If repeatedly present, this could be regarded as of some use as a further step in the clinical diagnosis of a disease the etiology of which is still uncertain and the classification of which is hardly satisfactory.
In reviewing the literature on hemolysins in the gastro-intestinal tract, I find that while much has been done with tumor and organ extracts, little attention has been paid to the stools.
Korschun and Morganroth,1 in their work on the hemolytic action of organ extracts, describe a hemolysin thus derived, which is active against the blood-cells of the same species and possesses the following characteristics: coctostabile, soluble in alcohol, not complex, and inactive in causing

Any opinions on who I should start this week? I like Moreno, simply because of how good the Broncos offense has been thus far. I would probably lean toward Bernard over Blount, based on talent, but the Patriots are always a very good running team and it seems possible that Blount could approach 18-20 carries with Ridley out.
2 replies , Last at 07 Oct 2013, 6:42pm by Igloowithac
Blount would definitely be the riskiest selection. Hard to tell how much Bolden will play, and how much Belichick will trust Blount to be on the field. But...as you imply, he might be the guy who scores most out of these 3. I'd say if you're expecting to lose this week, try Blount. If you're thinking your team is on top on paper, cut out the risk and roll with Moreno probably. Bernard probably just as good though.
Moreno and Bernard seem to be the safer options. They are also just substantially better players. If gronk plays it might open up that NE offense for everyone (see the opposite Reggie Bush this week when Calvin Johnson was injured). Go for the home run with Blount, but I wouldn't recommend it.

It could only have happened in the late 1960s: a movie that begins with its four heroes jumping off of a bridge, apparently hoping to kill themselves. And those four men would be The Monkees. And the movie is titled "Head." And it was co-written by Jack Nicholson. Intrigued?
Then be sure to brew a big pot of espresso (or whatever else may keep you up at night) and tune in to Turner Classic Movies at 2 a.m. Saturday; the network is featuring "Head" as part of its TCM Underground series. The programmers could hardly have found a more bizarre relic from the heyday of psychedelic cinema.
Hollywood has long had a history of latching on to music stars just a little too late, after their careers had already peaked and the slow descent into the cut-out bin had begun. "Head" was released in late 1968, many months after "The Monkees" series had gone off the air and their records had fallen off the charts. What makes the film unique in the extensive catalogue of movies that attempted to cash in on pop phenomenons is that "Head" seems to have been intentionally designed as a sort of tombstone for Monkeemania.
Throughout the scattershot script there are references to all the standard criticisms of the group: they didn't play their own instruments; they were put together by a record company executive; they lacked substance; they were "the Pre-Fab Four," etc. How do Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork and Micky Dolenz react to these charges? They essentially admit it's all true and shrug their shoulders, sort of the same approach Madonna would use in 1985 when rediscovered "art photos" of her from back in the day threatened to cripple her career. They admit they're a joke and they laugh at themselves. If Vanilla Ice had been able to do the same thing in "Cool as Ice," perhaps he would have finally silenced his detractors. Or perhaps not.
"Head" starts off on a strange note. After they plunge into the ocean, the four perform a sort of slow-motion underwater ballet to the tripped-out beat of "The Porpoise Song," an acid-rock lullaby written by Carole and Gerry Goffin ("My, my, the clock in the sky is pounding away and there's so much to say/A face, a voice/An overdub has no choice, an image cannot rejoice"); the song was later lifted by Cameron Crowe for the soundtrack of "Vanilla Sky" and this sequence may have been director Julie Taymor's inspiration for the "Because" episode in "Across the Universe."
The rest of "Head" is pure stream-of-consciousness (or sometimes unconsciousness) nuttiness. Annette Funicello drops in for a cameo; so does Frank Zappa. A buxom young woman slinks around the Monkees' pad, kissing each one of them and mentally comparing notes. Teri Garr, in one of her first speaking roles in a movie, plays a rattlesnake victim who gets to say, "Suck it quick! Before the venom reaches my heart!" The Monkees somehow end up as dandruff in the hair of one-time matinee idol Victor Mature. A diner customer orders "a glass of gravy with a hair in it." Snippets of The Monkees in concert are jumbled together with startling news footage from Vietnam and clips from Bela Lugosi films ("Sounds like a lot of supernatural baloney to me," a character sneers at Bela. "Supernatural, perhaps," Lugosi hisses. "Baloney, perhaps not!").
Even the much-loved Monkees' theme gets twisted around. Instead of "Hey, hey, we're the Monkees and people say we monkey around," the quartet chants, "Hey, hey, we are the Monkees/You know we love to please/A manufactured image/With no philosophies."
Unsurprisingly, this was all a bit jarring to the kids who still loved The Monkees and it may have been too far-out even for the counter-culture crowd: "Head" was a box office bust. But some people absolutely love it: Back in the mid-1980s, before the film was officially available on tape, one of my former bosses had a pirated copy of "Head" that he treated as one of his most cherished possessions. It's certainly a period piece, with some very funny moments, several strong songs (the soundtrack is available on Rhino Records and is just as screwy as the film itself) and that kind of devil-may-care air that hardly ever finds its way into movies today.

The most comprehensive list of pointers to Illich's writings available on the Web is at
Ivan Illich died on Dec. 2, 2002, in Bremen, Germany, surrounded by his circle of friends, collaborators, and students. Their website is here:

. He argues for the inversion of industrial progress in order to allow the human race to survive and allow humans to live decently. He makes up lots of new vocabulary like "radical monopoly" and "convivial tools," all of which accurately describe concepts that should be generally known. Wonderful at pointing out paradoxes. Much better writer than
Incidentally, the French attitude towards philosophers is that they are paid to enlighten and improve society, and are actually given space in the media to do their job! For instance,
Energy and Equity
was first published in Le Monde, a major daily newspaper.
"Enlighten" seems self-explanatory, but "improve" is not. Improve society in what ways? Do the French believe that French philosophers inherently improve society just by philosophizing, or does it take more, and if so, what? And if so, which French philosophers do they believe have already improved society, and in which ways? (I've been curious about French attitudes on the subject for some time now.)

rhetoric comes from the
Easily the best obit for Ivan Illich, so far, was published in The Guardian:
What makes Illich interesting at this point in history, when the end of the cold war no longer forces us to align ourselves with crudely defined blocks (
), is that neither side (and his writing was mainly done when there seemed to be sides) liked what he had to say. Since he criticised institutions in general as destructive of the human spirit, his ideas continue to pose a potent challenge to ideologues of both stamps. His openly apocalyptic prediction of 'the collapse of power' is explored in the radio broadcast available from
One of the best introductions to Illich's life (up to about 1988) and thought is a book called Conversations with Ivan Illich, by David Cayley. It is based on a series of interviews that Cayley did for the Canadian Broadcasting Co. (CBC). These interviews formed the basis of a CBC program by Cayley called "Part Moon, Part Traveling Salesman," cassette tapes of which are available from CBC and Amazon. The program runs about 5 hours and is extremely well done; Cayley knows his subject and is a good interviewer and interpreter; the book is a more complete transcript of the interviews, which can be heard online in two parts at
Illich figures prominently in an CBC Ideas series called "The Medium and the Message", about orality and literacy. This series was based on a conference held in Toronto in June, 1988, at which the notion of literacy as a presumed good was questioned and in some senses attacked by a group of scholars. Eric Havelock, Barry Sanders, and David Olson were among the other scholars who attended the conference and who appear in the interviews in the series, again conducted by Cayley. The series makes for compelling listening and consideration.
Cayley did more interviews with Illich in later years, which yielded two more CBC programs. One is called "Life as Idol," in which Illich reflects on the word and notion of "life" and their use by various theologians, marketeers, and others. Life, Illich posits, is an amoeba word, seemingly straightforward in definition but loaded with scientific connotations that are beyond most of us yet enable us to speak with a sheen of scientific authority. Fact is, no biologist can define the word life; nor can the anti-abortionists or the theologians. Ultimately, the word has such a wide range of meanings that everyone who uses it gets lost. All of which is a simplistic summary of Cayley's program, which lasts about 1 hour. Also available on tape from CBC and perhaps Amazon.
The next program, and the last Cayley did with Illich, is called "The Corruption of Christianity: Ivan Illich on Gospel, Church and Society" (2000). A transcript and a five-part CD is available on the CBC website (try this link,
, or else search for a show called "Ideas"). This program is more or less a history of the western world according to Illich. It is also the most explicit expression of how his thinking is deeply rooted in the gospels of Jesus -- something that peeks out here and there in earlier writings through implication but that he never explicitly relied on to buttress or formulate his argument. Illich sees much of the horror of the modern western world, with its deep poverty and dependence on all those institutions he railed against for all those decades, as essentially a corruption of some quite radical ideas that Jesus put forth. Illich is particularly concerned with the parable of the Good Samaritan, whose lesson, he argues, got co-opted and misused by the Church long ago and which in turn gave rise to today's service institutions. This program bears repeated listening, as it is dense with ideas and references and gives one a good taste of Illich's dazzling and wide-ranging intellect. Illich, Ivan (Author) Cayley, David (Editor) (2000)The Corruption of Christianity (Toronto: Anansi Press)
A number of recorded interviews with Illich are available from the Altruists International website, at
A particularly good summary and interpretation of what Illich was thinking about during the last 20 years of his life has been prepared by one of his closest collaborators, Barbara Duden. It is available at the Pudel site, here:
. As Duden shows, even though Illich was widely dismissed as a has-been, he was hard at work all these years, anticipating many topics of research and thinking that others now actively pursue. Among them: the historicity of gender, the body, and the senses.

Genesee Community College also embraces WNY artists
Take a bow, Colin Dabkowski. As art critic for The Buffalo News, we appreciate his shining a spotlight on the exceptional and exceptionally diverse arts offerings in Western New York, and in particular, the venues that showcase these extraordinary offerings. As he pointed out, numerous and prominent colleges and universities across the region provide impressive economic contributions that not only celebrate academic excellence, but creative aesthetic as well. And just as the art itself is widely diversified, so, too, are the spaces that host those endeavors.
As Dabkowski observed, the University at Buffalo and Daemen College are two outstanding examples of higher education institutions that have embraced artists by giving them outstanding stages on which to shine. But just as the art world encompasses more than canvas and clay, the Western New York gallery scene is larger than Erie County.
Genesee Community College in Batavia offers artists working in all media a new, exquisite, modern gallery space featuring 1,700 square feet that can be configured according to the mood, theme and needs of the exhibiting artists. The Roz Steiner Art Gallery will host the work of Alfred University's Dale Inglett in his Transient Beings exhibit this fall, transforming the gallery with figurative paintings, prints and videos that explore identity, time and existence. And in the new year, we will be exhibiting the sculpture of Elena Lourenco, an assistant professor of fine arts in sculpture at Buffalo State College. Join us as we continue to embrace and celebrate the art scene.

The 2014 trade deadline has come and gone, and the New York Mets did not end up making any trades of any kind. General manager Sandy Alderson ultimately decided to stand pat and build on the Mets' young team for the future.
In a way, the Mets may have done well at the deadline by sticking to the young core they have put together, but on the other hand, a few players on the current team who are probably not going to be part of the long-term future could have been traded away.
Here are two moves the Mets should have made before the deadline.

Lake Fenton was led by Sophia Sahouri who finished with 14 points, and Sidney Scott who scored 13 as Lake Fenton took advantage of Durand's poor shooting from the free throw line.
Sahouri scored 10 of her 14 points in the fourth quarter.
Durand finished 1-for-13 from the free throw line, while Lake Fenton converted on 7-of-12 attempts.
"We were very sloppy and we had a lot of turnovers in the first half," said Lake Fenton coach Matthew Gildner. "They played a zone and we weren't patient enough with the ball movement to break it.
"Sophia bailed us out tonight, she had been battling the flu all day so I was proud of her effort. We ran our offense in the fourth quarter and played like we were capable of playing and that helped us pull out the victory."
Sarah Dunavant led Durand with 10 points, and Jacqueline Delerg added eight.

I made avocado deviled eggs a while back (straight up replaced the mayo in the recipe with fresh avocado)... Be careful when adding flavor enhancing things to this mixture. The avocado will eventually absorb the flavoring, so overdoing the mustard to get it to taste right before filling them makes for SUPER MUSTARDY BADNESS in a few hours when you serve them.
Also, I recommend a little bit of minced onion ON TOP instead of IN... will make a huge flavor difference =)

Aldergirl-I've read nothing but good things about dr bronners, seems like an awesome soap. Unfortunately it's harder to get here in New Zealand, and a lot more expensive. Still, I'd like to try it.
You only shower once a week? Me too! When my family figured that out they were all really grossed out, but when I asked them if I smelt, they had to admit that no, I don't smell. And believe me, they're not the sort of people that would lie to spare my feelings. Of course, now I'm washing my face daily.
Right now I'm drinking milk thistle tea, I'll have a look into the dandelion, thanks!

Why Sports Team Loyalty and Color Aversion Go Hand in Hand
You will NEVER see me wearing the colors green and yellow together. You will NEVER see me wearing purple, either. Actually, I follow the same guidelines when I buy pretty much anything in the stores. If I'm looking for a particular item and it's only available in those colors, then I'm not buying it. Heck, I wouldn't even take it for free! Why you ask? It's simple…
I'm a loyal, die hard, fan of the sports teams I like, and absolutely refuse to wear or buy anything that prominently features the team colors of their rivals (Well… MAYBE if I lost a bet). To some I'm sure it may seem petty, but I take this stuff seriously! I just can't look at something featuring the colors of my most hated rivals and NOT think of them. I'm sure I'm not alone in this!
When I attended the University of Illinois, it was almost blasphemous to wear any bold color other than orange or blue. Think about it – that's tens of thousands of people just in central Illinois with the same tastes and biases. I would be shocked if there were many stores in the area hoping to sell much maize (yellow) and blue apparel resembling the University of Michigan.
Sports loyalty is just one (extreme) example of how something as simple as the choice of color can affect the value or suitability of any given product. But it can serve a greater point. Ever wonder why a website may not have as many visits as hoped? Pinks, purples, and most pastels–even in small amounts–would be an obviously poor choice for a website designed for men (if I go a site and there are flowers and kittens, then I probably won't stay long). Just like grays, blacks, and other industrial colors may be a poor choice for a website catered to women.
I don't mean to be color biased, but it's true to a degree, isn't it?
In home improvement shows, we're always told to paint rooms in neutral colors. Does everyone really LOVE neutral colors? I highly doubt it. But they don't push people away. And in this instance, that's the main purpose. On the flip side (using my previous example), if a site about the University of Illinois used all neutral colors and didn't have orange and blue in it, it would be dry, bland, and unlikely to attract visitors.
It's all about understanding your target audience and customers, even in regard to the colors you choose for your logo, advertising materials, and website. You want to attract as many people as possible and repel as few as possible. Many times it is easy and clear how to do this (like if you're going to advertise in Chicago, then don't make anything look like "Packer Central"). But other times it can be more convoluted.
How does a news website look bright and interesting, but not annoying? How does a company create an attention-getting logo without driving away customers who avoid certain colors?
Bubba is the Quality Logo Products mascot. He may have started out as "just a stress ball," but he's come a long way since the company's launch in 2003. Bubba has been immortalized in numerous vector artwork designs for internal and external promotions, and you can see him change outfits on the Quality Logo Products homepage whenever a holiday rolls around. Oh, and he thinks pants are for the birds. You can connect with Bubba on Google+
The Ohio State University scarlet and grey! Need I say more?
Is "transparent" considered a color option – JK?
If I owned a major sports franchise, our colors would be white on white. If your logic (above) is correct, my team should then be the most widely successful sporting franchise in the world!
On a more SERIOUS note, I think that's why Mike and I chose orange and blue for the QLP logo. We're both die hard Bears fans, and there are times I seriously wish I'd bleed orange and blue… not only because it would be COOL; but it would be easier to clean up afterwards (red stands out too much!).
Hmmm!?!?! A post centered on color biases *quietly leaves*
If you look at a lot of merchant websites they are generally very cold when it comes to colors, just to appear unisex. Good post Jeff
I totally agree with the points you brought up. Color has such an impact on what I buy. I don't even necessarily think about it consciously while shopping, but taking a step back to look at the big picture I can definitely say the color of a product lends so much to that product's appeal.
They say taupe is very soothing 🙂
I think it is also very interesting how one color can be associated with a team. In college there is no better example than the plethora of orange that is specific to a college and could be its own crayon (i.e. Tennessee Orange, Texas Orange, and Illini Orange). Lord have mercy on you if you buy the wrong orange for these fans.
On the other hand organizations can use color to simply to promote their message and raise awareness. People will buy anything in that color just to be associated with that. Clothing retailer Gap teamed up with AIDS awareness organizations to create a product line of apparel with the words (red) on every shirt all in the color red. Every time I went into the store they were sold out because people wanted to buy the shirt for its charitable association.
It's amazing how much we don't think about the affect colors have on our purchases but they conciously or subconciously do.
So true. There's a HUGE difference between Illini Orange and Tennessee Orange. HUGE I say!
This post definitely brings the value of color to my attention. I honestly haven't thought about it for a while, so it's weird to think about it now. Color-schemes are a integral part of branding marketing, and many businesses tend to forget that. And you're absolutely right: the color-scheme of a website probably has a direct effect on the site's overall traffic.
Colors on a website totally influence how long I will stay for. If the website is too bland and looks boring- I get bored and think this company didn't care enough to put effort into making it look sweet. On the opposite end, I'll also leave sooner (maybe even right away) if the colors are way too loud and crazy.
I've never really thought about this either, but my high school was scarlet and gray and I can't remember the last pair of tennis shoes I bought that didn't have red in them.
Wow, you've really made an interesting point! When I applied to University, I was stuck between two very similar school selections, and I picked one over the other because I liked their sports colors better!

Hungary declared axis in my game as well, I think this is because german/italian troops were hanging around in their territory while trying to take back Kosice, not certain though. Maybe make hungary friendly to Germany/Italy would solve it?

I am trying Italy with v9 right now.
Some minor bug:
In Turn 40, the germans captured Paris. Now every turn I get a message that my influence to Morocco and Tunesia has nearly decayed to the point where I'm not their Ally anymore.
The AI has still problems with attacking Cities/Units from the sea or across the river. But there´s probably not much you can do about that right ? (maybe only allowing those attacks with the amphibious promotion?)
Hoping for version 10 to arrive soon. I can't wait for all those new units ;-)

Champ could you possibly try it on a different computer? I did notice that the lua said your turn was three times longer then the one that I had. Granted that wasn't during combat.
|Sep 04, 2011, 02:06 PM
I've experimented game hanging between turn during tests, I can save/reload to unhang the AI and continue the game, but it may need some more testing before release.
On the other hand, the feedback here is really helping to improve the mod, so I don't know
The function check if a unit about to attack another is going for a suicide run, and as at the time the check is made I can't stop it before the real attack occur, I simply kill it and respawn a new unit with the exact same values at the same plot but with 0 moves. That's radical, the attack does not occur.
So, ON or OFF at release (it will be activable with a simple file edit) ?

Too much Fun
BUG: When Paris is taken by Germany and there is Italian control of french hexes the one's that should become German are instead becoming Vichy. This has happened twice now. I think what ever hexes are supposed to be German should just be made German weather Italian or English.
Playing on Deity, the German AI has a tough time with France (mostly due to only attacking Paris across the river and due to all the Gold France has to buy defensive buildings and units. I find as Italy it is both fun and required that I help in the French campaign. Thankfully France is helpful in this by usually declaring war on me.
Still loving the game. Not sure though that I want to see tank destroyer units, instead of unit buffs. I think Anti-Air units are needed so cities last longer.
|Sep 04, 2011, 04:08 PM
do you have a savegame from just before the tile flipping bug perchance ?
I've changed the Seine to flow south of Paris in v.10, we'll see if it helps Germany...
Can you develop about the tank destroyers ?
And for the air defense, fighters in v.10 are much better. Not by their statistics (except they got one more attack per turn), but by the way the AI use them.

More about Tank Destroyers
Great on the change on the river, hope it helps.
As for the Tank Destroyer. Historically they operated at battalion level and maybe regimental level. Usually they were attached to divisions as corps reserves. So after you do the project for Tank destroyers you would have available to some units, Light tanks, med tanks and motor/mech infantry a buff that maybe gives +15% vs tanks, you could do the same with anti-tank guns for infantry. Each level after that can give +10% vs tank for up to 3 levels total, so max +35% vs tanks.
This will keep older (light and early medium tank) units still useful as they will have some ability to stand up to med and heavy tanks. You can make them available to Heavy tanks as well, making those heavy tanks ultra tank killers.
You can do this with all sorts of units, I just do not like so many special units that really were not Division level units. Also the AI has trouble using units that are special types. The AI would do better with a limited set of units that can cover most activities. Even then the AI has trouble with the idea that tanks are not city takers, well medium and heavy tanks anyway.
I also find artillery to be next to useless for me. I move at a quick pace and of course I use airplanes for my artillery and use infantry and armour as need to quickly eliminate my opposition. Hmm, sounds like a certain General who suggested the same thing. I do think Artillery is more useful on defense keeping it in the city to range fire on the enemy, but just to easy for tanks to kill. Having said that the dynamic of Artillery vs tanks vs Infantry would be better if artillery got a bonus shooting at Infantry, but at is they are not good at killing anything and good at getting killed.
I look at units like rock, paper, scissors game. If a unit exists it should serve a purpose and be the best at that. Consider the Navy, we have 3 units the aptly do naval operations justice. Destroyers are fast and kill subs. Subs are medium speed and kill Battleships and sea transported units. Battleships kill Destroyers, and do good at killing sea transports, but are slow. So each has a role to play.
So when we look at ground units they need to do the same thing. Infantry gets a bonus vs cities, while all other units get a penalty (Great I love it). Tanks get bonus vs Artillery and tend to be stronger vs Infantry in open terrain (Again great). Light tanks are bad against tanks, but do well against Artillery and infantry and Ok vs city. Medium tanks are good vs units in the open (Artillery and Infantry) but not good vs cities. Heavy tanks are great vs Artillery/Tanks and Infantry in open, but really bad vs city and are slow. All great.
Artillery is good at nothing but shooting over things and for this they have to setup to shoot. Bombers do this better. Would be better if they did not have to setup. They have no combat bonus vs anything, which leaves me wondering why I build them.
So when I look at the list of units you want to introduce some of them look like units we already have, eg tank destroyers (just tanks with bonus vs tanks, so faster heavy tanks).
So I come around to looking at fighters/interceptors and we have 1 fighter type, but you can make it 1 of 3 special types. If you add on the interceptor buff it is a interceptor type. If you add sweep buff it is a fighter. Add on tank killer buff and it is a ground attack fighter, all valid types for WWII. As you tech up you change the starting combat value of the type, but the player decides with buffs what sub type that fighter is. The same, to a degree with bombers, you decide via buffs what the bomber is good at, so if you add a new type of bomber it should start with a bonus in one direction (eg stuka gets bonus vs ground units/tanks). Medium bombers maybe get no bonus, but extra range and Heavy bombers get range and city bombing bonus but big penalty to all other attack types.
Personally I like the idea of buffs defining the sub unit of a type then having more actual unit types one can build. I also realize most people like seeing extra unit types on the game board and not as a buff and I can understand the desire to put out the cool units.
I do like the French Foreign Legion as a sub type as it is good in enemy territory but does not take ground, so it has a penalty as well. If you introduce a unit it needs to be special from any other type. Having said that I would never build a Foreign Legion as it can not take ground.
Hope this gives you some food for thought.

The suicide-prevent-hack should probably be off on default like marcel said.
Some more things that I noticed while playing as Italy:
- The river at copenhagen gives germany as much a hard time like the seine river in Paris, maybe remove that one too.
- The city states Romania and Bulgaria declared war on the Axis for being too agressive to city states. For realism reasons I would put them in an alliance with the Axis. Right now they are at war with Russia and the Axis at the same time (I think somebody reported that already).
- When I conquered the French colonies in Africa, the Paris fall made them go back to their city states. Is that intened to be like that ?
I'm hoping to see the new version soon, probably refreshed this forum alot the last day to check for it ;-) Did you consider adding the US east coast and Oil as a strategic resource in future versions ? Those those (US+oil) were probably two war-deciding factors (I dunno how much work it would be to integrate that tbh) :-)
Once again, thanks for the effort you put in. I am really enjoying the game.

Save for Vichy BUG
Took me forever to get Germany to attack Paris and then it did it with tanks across the river, even though they had infantry without river that could have attacked.
Germany should take Paris when you end the Italian turn.
Also a screenshot of the result when Germany takes Paris.

I have downloaded the two zip files, sent them to my MODS directory and used 7zip to "extract here" which makes new folders of the same name in the MODS dir. When I boot civ5, I see the mods, enable both, start a new custom game and choose a leader. Then, during the loading screen (listening to the German speech, for instance) everything looks good until the screen goes black, the cursor changes from the loading-spinning-globe into the regular cursor, then I get the WinXP "Civ5 has encountered and error" thing and I have to shut down.
89 files 13.8MB in MODS/r_e_d__wwii_edition__v_9
1777 files 182 MB in MODS/R.E.D. WWII Data Files (v 1)
I read through the forums and did not find this particular issue, but I apologize if I missed it. Any help would be appreciated--I just heard about this mod recently and have not tried any of the previous versions.
Looks very promising and I'm hoping I can get it to work!
Thank you.

As far as I know, it has only happened once and it was a police officer that committed it. I don't remember where I saw this. Two different sources, same info. One was while researching Miller.
And it was quite awhile ago.

That would be the Patrolman Roger Waller case

When was the last time a NFA Registered Machine gun used in a commission of a crime?
Dont know if this would count but 3 nfs registeres machine guns were stolen in Portsmouth VA about 3 to 5 years ago and one turned up in a gas station robery same city. The guy aparently droped in in the parking lot jumping into a get away car.
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
August 20, 2008, 09:39 AM
There is 1 confirmed (involving a police officer using a weapon registered to police department) and possibly a second.
In 1995 there were over 240,000 machine guns registered with the BATF. (Zawitz, Marianne,Bureau of Justice Statistics, Guns Used in Crime) About half are owned by civilians and the other half by police departments and other governmental agencies (Gary Kleck, Targeting Guns: Firearms and Their Control, Walter de Gruyter, Inc., New York, 1997.)
Since 1934, there appear to have been at least two homicides committed with legally owned automatic weapons. One was a murder committed by a law enforcement officer (as opposed to a civilian). On September 15th, 1988, a 13-year veteran of the Dayton, Ohio police department, Patrolman Roger Waller, then 32, used his fully automatic MAC-11 .380 caliber submachine gun to kill a police informant, 52-year-old Lawrence Hileman. Patrolman Waller pleaded guilty in 1990, and he and an accomplice were sentenced to 18 years in prison. The 1986 'ban' on sales of new machine guns does not apply to purchases by law enforcement or government agencies.
The other homicide, possibly involving a legally owned machine gun, occurred on September 14, 1992, also in Ohio.
Dr. Shou Chao Ho killed Dr. Carmelito Olaes on Sept 14. 1992 in his front yard on Plum Creek Parkway in Brunswick Hills Township.... HO said he had owned a .380-caliber machine gun, the same caliber bullet that killed Olaes. He also said he had registered the guns with the BATFE when he purchased them.
Some books cite this as a legal machinegun and others do not. The article referenced does not clearly indicate either way. The gun was traced back to a legal FFL sale so likely had it been illegal it would have been a much bigger separate news story "local gun shop sells illegal machine-gun". Personally I think it was a legal NFA registered machine-gun but without some research we may never know for sure.
Even if we include the Ho case that is a grand total of 2 legal machineguns used in crime. The sheer iron is one of them invovles a post-86 weapon. Civilians are unable to purchase them but a LEO used a post-86 weapon to murder someone.
Even crime with illegal machineguns is extremely low (far lowering than virtually any other weapon firearm or not).
Again in Targeting Guns, Kleck writes, four police officers were killed in the line of duty by machine guns from 1983 to 1992. (713 law enforcement officers were killed during that period, 651 with guns.)
In 1980, when Miami's homicide rate was at an all-time high, less than 1% of all homicides involved machine guns. (Miami was supposedly a "machine gun Mecca" and drug trafficking capital of the U.S.) Although there are no national figures to compare to, machine gun deaths were probably lower elsewhere. Kleck cites several examples:
Of 2,200 guns recovered by Minneapolis police (1987-1989), not one was fully automatic.
A total of 420 weapons, including 375 guns, were seized during drug warrant executions and arrests by the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad (Will and Grundie counties in the Chicago metropolitan area, 1980-1989). None of the guns was a machine gun.
16 of 2,359 (0.7%) of the guns seized in the Detroit area (1991-1992) in connection with "the investigation of narcotics trafficking operations" were machine guns.
August 20, 2008, 01:10 PM
I appreciate the stats. I wonder how many post-86 fully automatics are now in police hands since the gov't began transferring M16's to the local PD level.
I would not be surprised to find the number of full auto's in PD's has gone up substantially.
August 20, 2008, 01:43 PM
The cop does not count as he is a cop, (by my ratings)
From what I read the Dr had a registered piece. This is the only other known murder.
There was a member on here who said that some guy in Texas had a suppressor and a M16 and took out a flock of deer with it ( all were legal).
So without more evidence it could be said no crimes were committed with NFA weapons at this point.
August 20, 2008, 01:48 PM
So without more evidence it could be said no crimes were committed with NFA weapons at this point.
That's how I always look at it, though the cop one could be argued I guess.
There are 2 other times that an NFA machinegun was used and the owner was charged but both of them were found not guilty or no billed in the first place.
One was the guy that worked for HK and used an AC-556 in self defense and the other guy was a gun store owner who used something, Uzi I think, to shoot at robbers.
If I remember right that gun store owner actually used full auto TWICE in self defense. Good shoot both times of course.
The guns were returned in these cases, not kept forever as some people will claim.

"Whatever Peabody throws out of the cage, the dog eats!" exclaimed a friend describing her favorite cleaning method for bird-cage fallout. Sorry everyone, dogs are not vacuum cleaners and neither are cats! We have enough problems with hairballs and furniture chewing — we don't need intestinal blockages or gas, lacerated gums, allergic reactions, nausea and other assorted ills caused by ingesting avian detritus!
Most of us regularly feed our birds an assortment of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds in addition to pellets. A good percentage of these food items end up on the floor around the bird cage or stand — locations where other household pets often patrol looking for edible, or almost edible, bits.
Lanette Raymond, a bird owner from New York, reported that if she's not quick with the dustpan, her rabbit eats up the bits of pellets, seeds, nuts and fruit that emanate from her birds' cages. "Although not part of the [rabbit] diet, which is pretty strict, these don't seem to bother the bunny," she said. However, if eaten in large amounts or frequently enough, these food items could cause a rabbit gastric distress.
Marc Morrone, author of "Ask the Bird Keeper and proprietor of Parrots of the World in Rockville Centre, New York, hasn't heard any harrowing stories from his customers about dogs or cats suffering from ingesting cage-generated debris. "Every dog I know eats some bird seed off the floor," he said. "There's grain in dog food, too, so I doubt the seed itself would be toxic. Regarding hazards from bird toys, there are probably more children's toys left on the floor. I often hear about dogs eating Barbie dolls and cassette tapes."
Morrone pointed out that many birds learn to call the family dog over to the cage and toss food out to it. "It starts off as a random event, but eventually becomes entertainment for the bird and for the dog, too."
Entertaining, perhaps, but there are some very real hazards you should know about.
Choking Hazards
While cats seem much too sensible to eat nonfood items or produce, they are quite attracted to meat. If you give your bird meat (cooked meat only!) or chicken bones to gnaw on, beware! Dogs and cats foraging underneath the cage may ingest bone shards of dropped food. Digestive system perforations and blockages can result.
What about cuttlebone? Cuttlebone is actually the internal skeleton of cuttlefish, and it provides a source of calcium for birds that gnaw on them. The hard outer portion of the cuttlebone could possibly cause gastrointestinal irritation or perforation if swallowed, so it would be prudent to sweep up any tossed chunks of cuttlebone.
Some seeds and fruit pits contain cyanide (e.g. peach, apple, apricot, plum), but it is unlikely that an animal would ingest enough from a few seeds to cause harm. The real danger lies in choking or intestinal obstruction.
Board-certified avian veterinarian Robert Monaco of the Old Country Animal Clinic in Plainview, New York, said "I have never actually seen any real harm done, but the potential does exist. Fruit pits can be dropped by birds and swallowed by dogs." Monaco has removed a few peach pits from dogs' intestines. "I think they came from the backyard — people throwing the pits into the garden and the dog eating them — but I can imagine a large bird dropping the pit from its cage."
Tummy-Trouble Foods
Grapes and raisins seem quite innocuous, but Donna Muscarella, Ph.D, of Cornell University's Veterinary Medical Center in Ithaca, New York, explained otherwise. "The major food items commonly fed to parrots that are clearly toxic to dogs and, in some reports, to cats are grapes, raisins, currants and sultanas (seedless white grapes originating in Turkey and Iran; also known as sultaninas and marketed in the United States as Thompson seedless grapes). They all can induce acute renal/kidney failure [in cats and dogs]."
"According to the 'Merck Veterinary Manual,'" continued Muscarella, "Dogs will develop vomiting and/or diarrhea, along with lethargy, anorexia, tremors, dehydration and weakness, within six to 12 hours of ingestion and develop renal failure within 72 hours on average. Dogs should be treated as soon as ingestion is suspected because clearing the substance out of the GI tract must occur before the start of renal failure, which is fatal."
Muscarella explained that there doesn't appear to be a clear association between toxicity and age, sex or breed of the dog, but there appears to be quite a lot of variation in susceptibility among individual animals. "This could be due to differences in the animals' metabolism or variations in the individual batch of fruit, although all types of grapes and raisins are potentially toxic.
"While there is no consensus on the amount of the fruit that is toxic, the Merck Manual indicates that approximately 32 grams per kilogram of body weight as a toxic amount for grapes, and 11 to 30 grams per kilogram of body weight as toxic for raisins."
Muscarella said that dried fruits are more toxic than fresh, and she pointed out that even fruit cake and other baked products can be potentially toxic. "The amount ingested in the case reports on fatalities I looked over range from a few fresh grapes to a whole cup of raisins. The exact toxin is unknown. It's been suggested that tannins, pesticides, heavy metals, glucose overload, vitamin-D toxicity are a few of several possibilities." Muscarella said some of these potential causes, such as pesticides and heavy metals, could also affect parrots, "so I'm not sure of those."
If you share your home with a macaw, there's a good chance you have some macadamia nuts on hand. While they make a nice treat for you and your bird, macadamia nuts can make your dog sick and possibly your cat, too, causing nausea, vomiting, tremors and fast heart rate. The threat doubles if the nuts are combined with chocolate, since chocolate can be fatal to animals, including birds.
Muscarella noted that according to the "Merck Veterinary Manual" ingestion of macadamia nuts is not fatal, and that most dogs appear to recover without incident. Still, it is a good idea to spare your dog or cat the ill affects of ingesting them. Whenever bird owner Linda LaFleur's Pomeranian scavenged her macaw's macadamia nuts he'd almost immediately vomit them up whole.
While our usual concerns are to protect our birds from dogs, cats and other household pets, we also need to protect the animals from bird-generated dangers. Be diligent about vacuuming and cleaning up in and around your bird's cage. Use cage guards and mess catchers to keep tossed food and debris inside the cage and out of reach of foraging pets.
If your cat or dog has a penchant for scavenging around the cage or playstand, supervise it closely, especially after avian mealtimes. I stopped feeding my birds on their stands as a mess-management maneuver, but ceasing such feedings will also result in less on the floor for Fido or Fluffy.\

5 Climbers Dead on Mont Blanc Peak; 6th Missing
By AP
Published: 13th August 2014 05:07 PM
Last Updated: 13th August 2014 05:07 PM
PARIS — Five French climbers died and a sixth was missing Wednesday on France's Mont Blanc, after a night of snow and wind on Europe's tallest mountain.
August is the height of the climbing season on Mont Blanc, where even in the warmest months fierce storms can strike quickly. Several mountaineers have died already this summer — including at least one experienced guide — and local officials say they fear many people come to Mont Blanc ill-prepared for the dangers.
The group of five climbers and a guide were reported missing overnight when they failed to return to a refuge after a planned trip to the Aiguille d'Argentiere, which tops out around 3,900 meters (12,800 feet). Mont Blanc, in addition to its primary peak, contains some 200 summits.
The bodies of five of the climbers were located Wednesday, while a sixth has not been found, said Jean-Marc Peillex, mayor of Saint-Gervais, a town at the foot of Mont Blanc.
Search and rescue teams headed up the slopes and a helicopter took advantage of brief windows of calm weather to fly over the area, said Christophe du Payrat, a local official.
Mont Blanc touches France, Switzerland and Italy, and thousands try to reach its summit each year.

When she is dispatched to the horrific murder scene of a local vampire, she expects it to be just another day on the job. But when evidence is stolen on her watch, she is removed—not only from the investigation, but from her job as a member of the Chicago police department's paranormal unit.
Astrid's only hope of reinstatement lies with her ex co-worker and almost-lover, Lycan Mason Sanderson. But convincing the OWEA agent to let her assist with the investigation isn't nearly as difficult as staying alive when the murderer realizes that Astrid may hold the key to unlocking his identity.
Fighting to take down a killer could have deadly consequences for Astrid and Mason, but working together puts their already fragile relationship in jeopardy.

This is such a great idea! 2 of my favorite things: books and purses! Love it!
Me too! The fatter the book, the better it turns out.
I can't believe how good this looks. What a wonderful imaginative idea.
Thank you. My first one didn't turn out so good, but after several, I got better...Takes lots of patience.
This is a great idea! Do you ever cover the outside of the book with fabric, or do you always leave it as the original book? I have to do some gifts for a swap coming up and thought this would be something unexpected I could do...Thanks for posting!!! I love Sue Grafton, too!
No, I have not covered the face of the book, or the spine. I have always wanted to retain the "book look." If you google, how to make a purse from a book, you might get some instructions, but you can tweek them any way you want. If you decide to do it, I will write my instructions for you.
love this can't wait to try this..
