The United States military claims it killed an estimated 49 militants during a dawn raid to capture an Iranian-linked militia chief in Baghdad's Sadr City enclave, one of the highest tolls for a single operation since the famous surge began. However, Iraq police reported only 15 deaths and said they all were civilians, including three children. It is reported that Prime Minister Maliki met with the U.S. commander in Iraq in protest against the raid. The Associated Press showed photos of two toddlers lying dead on a morgue floor, their parents said they were killed when helicopter fire hit their house. A local resident said many of the dead were people sleeping on roofs to escape the heat of hot day.
The American military insists there were no civilian casualties in a raid to capture a alleged rogue militia chief whose identity was not revealed any more than information if he was captured. American military sources insist "an estimated 49 criminals" were killed in raids against these supposed militants. In the fire fight, initially about 33 militants were killed by ground forces while six were killed by helicopter fire. As U.S. forces left the area there was a road side bomb explosion which resulted in additional firing. A local resident named Abu Fatmah said his neighbor's 14 year-old son was "killed by an airstrike and what is his guilt? Is he from the Mahdi Army? He is a poor student." APTN video showed three bloodied boys sitting on hospital tables and an elderly man being treated for a head wound.
Air attacks in an urban area invariably result in the death of innocent people. This was proven in World War II, in Vietnam, and it is currently happening in Iraq.

John Marshall Harlan Lecture Series created
The newly created John Marshall Harlan Lecture Series at Transylvania University, honoring one of the most distinguished graduates of Transylvania's nineteenth-century law department, will bring to campus prominent figures in law for free public lectures in the fall and spring.
The series will launch September 26 with William Wiecek, legal and constitutional historian and professor of public law at Syracuse University. The spring lecture will be delivered by Akhil Reed Amar, professor of law and political science at Yale University.
"We created this lecture series to showcase highly esteemed legal figures of national or international prominence who have distinguished themselves in constitutional law or history," said President R. Owen Williams. "We are delighted to have William Wiecek and Akhil Amar as our first two speakers."
John Marshall Harlan earned his law degree from Transylvania in 1852 and served as an associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court from 1877-1911. He is highly regarded as an early champion of civil rights. Harlan was the lone dissenter in two important cases that were setbacks for the cause of civil rights: the Civil Rights Cases (1883), which struck down as unconstitutional federal anti-discrimination legislation, and Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which upheld Southern segregation statutes.
Harlan's ringing dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson is his most famous and is often sourced for quotes, as in: "Our Constitution is color-blind....In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law." This courageous dissent was referenced a half-century later by Thurgood Marshall, an attorney arguing for the plaintiffs before the Supreme Court in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case, which overturned Plessy v. Ferguson and struck down the separate-but-equal principle in the case of public education. Marshall went on to become a Supreme Court justice, serving from 1967-91.
Williams was familiar with Harlan before becoming president of Transylvania in 2010 because of his Yale University dissertation entitled "Unequal Justice Under Law: The Supreme Court and the First Civil Rights Movement, 1857-1883."
"John Marshall Harlan is my hero and the central figure in my dissertation," Williams said. "So I felt as if there were a spiritual connection between Transylvania and me even before coming here."
Wiecek, the first speaker, is currently the Lassiter Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Kentucky Law School and is the author of numerous books. His most recent, The Birth of the Modern Constitution: The United States Supreme Court, 1941-1953 (volume 12 of the Holmes Devise History of the Supreme Court of the United States), won the John Phillip Reid Prize awarded by the American Society for Legal History for the best book in legal history published in 2006.
Amar teaches constitutional law at both Yale and Yale Law School. His B.A. is from Yale and his J.D. from Yale Law School, where he was an editor of The Yale Law Journal. After clerking for Judge Stephen Breyer, U.S. Court of Appeals, 1st Circuit, Amar joined the Yale faculty in 1985. He is the co-editor of a leading constitutional law casebook, Processes of Constitutional Decisionmaking, and the author of several books, including The Constitution and Criminal Procedure: First Principles, The Bill of Rights: Creation and Reconstruction, and, most recently, America's Constitution: A Biography.
"We are very grateful to our friends at McBrayer, McGinnis, Leslie & Kirkland, PLLC, for making the John Marshall Harlan Lecture Series at Transylvania possible," Williams said. "Their generosity reaches beyond the Transylvania campus. We know that many people in the Lexington community and surrounding areas will be interested in hearing some of the country's brightest constitutional law historians, authors, and scholars."

Fringe Wine, a wine blogger based in Quincy MA, was pleasantly surprised to taste Boutari 2004 Vinsanto for the first time when his wife innocently bought a bottle thinking it was Italian Vin Santo. Here's his tasting note.
Greek vinsanto is made from grapes that are allowed to raisin on the vine (as opposed to mat-drying as is done in Italy). The blend that I picked up was made from 50% Assyrtiko and 50% Aidani, another native Greek varietal found only on the Cyclades islands in the Aegean which is used almost exclusively in blends due to its lowish acid content. This wine was aged for four years prior to release. In the glass, the wine had a tawny, dark amber/reddish brown coloring. The nose was full of roasted hazelnuts and almonds, raisins and maple syrup. On the palate, the wine was medium bodied with surprisingly high acidity. There were flavors of honey and maple, golden raisins and dried red fruits along with toasted almonds and a kind of spicy orange twist. This wine was sweet, it's definitely a dessert wine, but not syrupy thanks, I think, to the high acid provided by the Assyrtiko grapes. That acid really kept this lively and interesting in the mouth for me. I've had a lot of sweet wines that taste amazing at first but which get old really fast because your palate gets beaten into submission by the relentless sugar assault. The nice acid here keeps this interesting and alive in the glass. This is a wine I will not hesitate to purchase again and I would be very anxious to try it with my southern-style pecan pie.

This even-keeled moisturizer is designed to keep your skin balanced (read: not too dry, not too oily). Ideal for all skin types, the all-natural formula hydrates without clogging pores, and it dries to a matte finish (so you don't have to worry about break-outs or forehead shine).
I do not view this as that great of a product. My skin does not seem to be reacting in a great way to this product as I have had a few spots break out around my nose and under my eyes. Not major break outs but small areas. That being said, it may only be my skin and could be totally fine for someone else. I also don't find the smell to be that great.1
I gave this product the good-ol' college try and really wanted to like it...However, it leaves a greasy shiny finish on my face (unlike the matte-finish it promises in the description. I could even get past the shiny-look it gives, but it leaves my skin feeling a little itchy and uncomfortable...There are DEFINITELY better (and cheaper) options when it comes to Men's Facial Moisturizers.
Definitely don't recommend it.

As fallout of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, the International Cricket Council (ICC) may postpone the women's cricket World Cup, scheduled to be held in India from January 31, sources have told NDTV.
After the killings and mutilation of two Indian jawans near the LoC on January 8 and repeated ceasefire violations, sources had said on Tuesday that the Pakistan women's team may not be called to India for the World Cup due to security reasons. Nine Pakistani players, who were taking part in the ongoing Hockey India League, were sent back.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has requested the ICC to take the tournament out of India so that the Pakistani women's team can participate.
Postponing the event will give the ICC more time to shift the tournament out of India. Also, the women's World Cup is not part of the future tours programme and hence, postponing it may not require too much deliberation on the part of the ICC.
If the tournament is shifted out of India, it will not be the first time the ICC would have had to change the host country of one of its major events. The 2009 Champions Trophy was shifted out of Pakistan due to security concerns and was held in South Africa instead.

Republicans should stop talking about rape. Seriously. It seems as though every time a Republican talks about rape, something stupid comes out.
This latest remark comes from Rep. Roscoe Bartlett of Maryland, who said something eerily similar to Missouri GOP candidate Todd Akin. During a town hall meeting, the 10-term congressman was asked about rape and abortion.
"If you have somebody that commits a violent, heinous crime, forcible rape, which results in the pregnancy of the woman who was forcibly raped, what is your position?" (Side note: Let's stop categorizing rape. Rape is rape.)
Bartlett's response: "If you really—there are very few pregnancies as a result of rape, fortunately, and incest—compared to the usual abortion, what is the percentage of abortions for rape? It is tiny. It is a tiny, tiny percentage."
To quote SNL's Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler, really?! Did he learn nothing from Akin's ordeal, in which the Missouri congressman publicly stated that women rarely get pregnant from being raped? Forget about the debate over whether sex ed should be taught in America's schools; it's about time they offered it in Congress.
Ironically, Bartlett's position on abortion supports exceptions in the instances of rape, incest and when the mother's life is at risk.

The Fargo Fire Department periodically receives questions concerning campfires or recreational fires within the city of Fargo. Although these types of fires are legal and a permit is not required, there are a few basic rules that need to be followed.
Recreational fires cannot be located within 25 feet of a structure (including decks and fences) or other combustible material unless they are in an approved container designed for this purpose, such as a screened appliance. Even in an approved container, they still must be at least 15 feet from structures. Any condition that could cause a fire to spread within 25 feet of a structure needs to be eliminated before lighting the fire. The fire cannot be more than three feet in diameter and must be two feet or less in height.
All recreational fires must be constantly attended until the fire is extinguished. A fire extinguisher or a garden hose must be available for immediate use. Make sure that the fire is completely extinguished when you are done enjoying it.
Do not burn anything other than a good dry wood. Any recreational fire that will be offensive or objectionable due to smoke or odor emissions is prohibited. What may be enjoyable for you may not be enjoyable for your neighbors. Be a good neighbor and don't use a recreational fire on breezy days that will spread the smoke through the neighborhood.
All open burning, including recreational fires, is banned when the fire index is at the high, very high, or extreme level and any time during a red flag warning. To check the current fire index or red flag warning status, visit http://www.nd.gov/des/planning/fire-danger-awareness/.
So have fun, roast a few marshmallows, sing a few songs, and, above all, do it in a safe manner.
Check the ND fire index at
Recreational fires may include small campfires or fire pits.
Bonfires are not considered recreational fires. Bonfires must be placed at least 50 feet away from combustible materials and require a permit from the Fire Department.
To obtain a bonfire permit, you must apply in person at:
Fire Station One
637 NP Ave. N., Fargo 701-241-1540
If you have questions, you may contact the Fire Marshal at 701-241-1540. A bonfire permit carries a $50 fee.

Randolph College's organic garden highlighted in local newspaper
BLOG: Learn more about the Organic Garden project from the Environmental Club's Blog - environment.randolphblogs.net > > >
The following story was published in the Lynchburg News & Advance on Feb. 22, 2009. It is reprinted with permission.
By Casey Gillis
Shahriar Abbassi tends the chickens in the Randolph College organic garden. Photo by Kim Raff
Shahriar Abbassi's got the goods, and the chickens in Randolph College's organic garden know it.
As soon as he nears the bucket where their food is stored, they circle him and the bucket, waiting and occasionally pecking at his shoes and pants.
The real scrambling begins, though, when he starts tossing out handfuls of grain all over their pen.
Every now and then, the rooster — Abbassi calls him Bruce — makes a low, guttural noise that sounds almost like a growl. Abbassi says Bruce does this to let the other three, all hens, know he's found food.
"I have a hard time coming here and leaving," says Abbassi, night supervisor of the college's library and the faculty/staff adviser for the garden. "They're just so entertaining."
They also serve many purposes in the garden, which Abbassi and a group of students from the college's Environmental Club are cultivating, using the principles of something called permaculture.
Basically, it means to design landscapes in ways that mimic the patterns and relationships found in nature.
"Taking advantage of the free services of nature is a big part of permaculture," Abbassi says.
"You never look at anything as a stand-alone element," he adds. "Like the chickens. They provide meat. They provide eggs. They give you manure. They till the soil. They're like tractors; you let them loose, and they dig."
It's also economical to raise chickens, he says.
"They eat practically all of your leftover food. (Just) dump it in front of them, and they'll eat it," Abbassi says. "Here is your garbage disposal."
In addition to the grain, they also feed the chickens leftover fruits and vegetables from the college's dining hall. Cantelope is a particular favorite.
The chickens are just the latest addition to the garden, which Abbassi and students from another club, the Food and Justice Club, began growing on an acre of land in 2003 (the Environmental Club took over a couple years later, when the Food and Justice Club folded).
Before they dug in, it was an overgrown hillside and dumping place for old soccer and lacrosse goals.
It's been a gradual process since then, with the students doing most of the work during the summer.
That first summer was spent clearing out the land, and over the past five years, they've grown a variety of vegetables, herbs, spices and wild flowers.
"Now it's at a point that it can be fully cultivated," Abassi says. "We have high hopes for it."
For now, the students and Abbassi take home what they grow, but they'd eventually like to work out some kind of deal to provide food to the dining hall.
They're currently growing onions, garlic and some smaller plants in a small, fenced-in area, with the chickens' pen inside of it. Some raspberry and blackberry bushes grow nearby on the outskirts of the land.
Students have also built a small fire pit, surrounded by chair

Riding a motorcycle is all about managing risk. But what happens when you park your bike – especially overnight at a hotel? How can you manage the risk of motorcycle theft while you're asleep?
Back in the good old days, I used to stay at roadside motels where I could pull my bike up on the sidewalk directly outside my window, and keep one ear peeled for any bike rustlers. Some guys I knew even rode their beloved choppers into their rooms. I had a cousin who claimed that he once rebuilt his Harley's transmission in a motel bathtub during a cross-country trip. Now that I'm staying in nicer places, I've had to develop other, more socially acceptable strategies to protect my Sportster.
The best defense for your motorcycle is visibility. If the hotel you've chosen doesn't have indoor or secure parking, talk with the concierge or desk clerk when you check in, and discuss your concerns. Ask if you can park your motorcycle in clear view of the front entry. Make clear that you're not asking them to take responsibility for your bike – they won't, nor should they – but that a visible parking space in a high-traffic area will help you to sleep more soundly.
A motorcycle alarm can be a good investment, and may actually save you some money on your insurance. A good alarm will come with perimeter and motion sensors and paging system to alert you if your bike is approached or moved. Talon Alarms makes complete systems starting at around $129.
I always carry a couple of locks and cables with me when I travel, and I lock my bike to a large stationary object, like a light pole, every time I park overnight. Kryptonite makes some great armored cables and the New York FAHGETTABOUDIT Chain (starting at $126) that will deter opportunistic criminals looking for a quick "roll-off" theft. Add an alarmed disc lock, like the ones from Xena (starting at $86.99), for additional protection.
I also always carry a bike cover to make my bike a little less attractive to passers-by. I've discovered that the compact, stretchy covers from Geza Gear (starting at $74.95) do the job, and pack down into a tiny pouch to keep me traveling light.
When all else fails, LoJack now makes a motorcycle-specific theft recovery unit ($595 plus installation). They also make a combination alarm/theft recovery product called "LoJack Early Warning" ($695 plus installation) that will page, call and email you instantly if your bike is started or moved. Hopefully it won't come to that, but if it does, it's nice to know that you might have some chance of seeing your bike again.

Pound Approaches One-Month Low as Retail Sales Slow; Gilts Gain
The pound fell toward the weakest level in a month against the dollar after an industry report showed U.K. retail sales slowed in December, adding to signs Britain's economy is lagging behind U.S. growth.
Sterling weakened versus all except one of its 16 major counterparts before a Bank of England meeting this week at which policy makers are forecast to keep interest rates at a record low as it struggles to stoke a recovery. The U.K. economy shrank 0.1 percent last year, while the U.S. expanded 2.2 percent, according to analyst forecasts compiled by Bloomberg. Gilts rose, with the 10-year yield falling the most in a week, as investors sought safer assets.
"U.S. growth is outperforming U.K. to such an extent that the last time we saw this kind of a differential was pretty much in the 1980s," said Peter Kinsella, a senior foreign-exchange strategist at Commerzbank AG in London. "Definitely you'll see lower levels in cable over the course of the year," he said, referring to the pound-dollar exchange rate.
The pound fell 0.5 percent to $1.6037 at 4:24 p.m. London time after declining to $1.6010 on Jan. 4, the lowest level since Dec. 7. The U.K. currency depreciated 0.1 percent to 81.45 pence per euro after dropping to 81.62 pence, the weakest since Dec. 31.
Sterling has fallen 1 percent in the past week, the worst performer of 10 developed-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. It gained 2 percent last year.
Retail Sales
Retail-sales growth at U.K. stores open at least a year slowed to 0.3 percent last month from a year earlier, from 0.4 percent in November, the British Retail Consortium said. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg forecast growth of 0.5 percent.
The Bank of England will keep its benchmark rate at 0.5 percent and the asset-purchase target at 375 billion pounds on Jan. 10, separate Bloomberg surveys show.
"It's a tough economic environment that we're in," Prime Minister David Cameron said on BBC Television's "Andrew Marr Show" on Jan. 6. "Right now, Britain needs low interest rates."
The pound will weaken to $1.60 and strengthen to 80 pence per euro by year-end, according to median estimates of analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Forecasting sterling against the 17-member common currency is difficult given the economic risks in both regions, but the pound may benefit from Bank of England policy, said Neil Mellor, a foreign-exchange strategist at Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (BK) in London.
Sterling 'Underpinned'
"We believe cable will fall this coming year or over the course of the next few months," Mellor said. "Euro-sterling is a little bit harder to pinpoint, but in the end it comes down to the simple fact sterling is underpinned by a central bank with independent monetary policy."
The 10-year gilt yield dropped six basis points, or 0.06 percentage point, to 2.03 percent after falling as much as seven basis points, the biggest decline since Dec. 27. The 1.75 percent bond due in September 2022 gained 0.50, or 5 pounds per 1,000-pound face amount, to 97.58.
The Debt Management Office sold 1.5 billion pounds of 4.75 percent bonds due in December 2030 today at an average yield of 2.786 percent, compared with 2.586 percent at the previous auction of the securities on July 3. Investors bid for 1.83 times the amount allotted, versus 2.06 times in July.
Buy Gilts
Investors should buy 2 percent gilts due in January 2016, according to Scotiabank analysts Alan Clarke, Frederic Pretet and Rajae Bouhdadi.
"Given the decent sell-off that we have seen at the start of 2013, the three-year to five-year sector in gilts is now looking attractive," the analysts wrote today in a note to clients. The 2016 gilt "is particularly noteworthy as this month its maturity will drop below three years, which may lead to increased demand from central banks."
The securities rose for a second day, with the yield falling five basis points to 0.61 percent.
Gilts handed investors a loss of 1.8 percent this month through yesterday, according to indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. German bonds fell 1.3 percent and Treasuries slid 0.7 percent.

Where I stayed
La Casa de mi Abuela
The Colca valley and canyon are stunningly beautiful, masses of cacti, stupendous mountains, rivers, snow covered peaks and Inca terraces in what seem to be the most inaccessible places. And of course condors! The canyon is 3,269 at its deepest, and our guide explained that due to the recent movement of the Nazca plates resulting in the Chilean earthquake, the elevations in the area have changed. Meaning that the mountains have got higher and the canyons deeper!
Once again walking was difficult as we hadn't yet got acclimatized so we chewed coca leaf to help counter the effects of altitude, carefully following the instructions of our guide who seemed to manage to carefully fold several leaves, chew them, keep them in his cheek for ten minutes and then spit them out in one piece
We trekked along the canyons edge delighting in and photographing the magnificent scenery, while watching hummingbirds and various other indigenous birds, that we prefixed with the word 'Andean' ('Andean spotted thrush', 'Andean white-throated sparrow' etc) making them up as we went along as we hadn't a clue as to what they really were!
Sarah had her binoculars so we were really hoping that we would actually see some condors. And we were lucky. The magnificent creatures put on a wonderful display as we watched in awe of these massive beautiful birds swooping and swirling around in the sky above us. Unfortunately they were quite difficult to photograph with our cameras but we had a go. You can see the poor results below!
We didn't make it to Condor Cross, the prime spot for condor spotting, as it involved a steep climb up a hill. Instead we decided to relax at the viewing point to take in the amazing scenery and, to conserve our breath and energy in the hope that we might soon get used to the altitude.
Next, a bumpy ride back to Arequipa after a short stop in Chivay for what turned out to be an expensive lunch. It was a buffet - most had been eaten by other groups by the time we got there and what was left was cold. We all complained about it, however it began to dawn on us that as tourists we were there to be exploited by the locals - whether its paying for photos of llamas and children or being overcharged for food so that the tour guide gets a backhander - this is the Peruvian way. We were beginning to 'get' it!

Daniel Part Two - Chapter Eight, Part 1
Chapter 8, Part One - Bidding Wars This chapter is dedicated to Anya Winter who loved Daniel enough that I just had to give her a sequel. And because she's such a good girl, I named my Anya after her. Follow the sexy Anya Winter on Twitter @AnyaWinter
"You're an idiot. You realize that, right?"
Daniel sighed and sunk back into his leather sofa.
"Yes, I realize that. I also realized that when you told me the same thing five minutes ago. This verbal abuse is well-deserved, El, but not particularly helpful."
Eleanor stopped pacing the length of his living room rug and turned to face him.
"Can you at least explain to me why at the most intensely vulnerable moment of Anya's life, you decided to offer her money for her virginity? Can you do that for me, Daniel? I'm begging you to do that for me. If I woke up to find a crop circle in my bedroom, I would be less curious about the origin of it than I am about why the hell someone as intelligent as you would do something that mind-blowingly stupid. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I swear…"
Crossing herself dramatically, Eleanor collapsed and lay like a murder victim in the center of the floor. With one finger she started outlining her body in the pile of the rug making a makeshift chalk outline.
"I wasn't thinking with my head at the time. Sorry. Anya's in the auction to make money so she could send her siblings to school. I just wanted her to know that if she slept with me, she wouldn't have to worry about money. I would take care of her. She didn't have to worry about anything—money or otherwise. That's all I was trying to say."
The corpse of Eleanor raised her head and stared at him.
"And you just couldn't say it like that? You couldn't say, 'Don't worry about anything. I will take care of you'?"
Daniel rubbed his forehead as he re-imagined that moment with Anya on his bed. Don't worry about anything, Anya. I'll take care of you, of all of you…And maybe she'd ask him what he meant by that and he could have said I want you but not just in my bed and not just tonight. I want you in my life. And I want kids, lots of them, and you come with five of them and I'll take them all because I have big empty house in the country that you and all your brothers and sisters are welcome to. And if you want children of your own we can have them and if not that's fine. Let me own you, all of you, and you will never have to worry about anything ever again…If he had said that, what he really meant, she would have stayed all night. And even maybe forever.
"That's what I meant to say."
"Instead you make her think you're buying her virginity so something beautiful and loving gets turned into a business transaction. We gals do love being treated like prostitutes. Blondie makes me feel like a whore sometimes, but, you know, in the nice way—big difference."
Daniel sighed again.
"I'm fucked."
"Well and truly fucked, Danny Boy. Question is—how are we going to get you un-fucked?"
Daniel slid from the couch to the floor and lay down beside Eleanor.
"I think I have an idea."
"Please don't tell me you're going to buy her at the auction tonight."
"I'm going to buy her at the auction tonight."
"You can't."
"Why not? Bad idea?"
"Impossible idea. See?"
Eleanor rolled over and grabbed her bag. Digging through it she tossed out books and pens and notebooks, a small brown stuffed animal dinosaur, a map of Belgium, a package of birth control pills, a pair of handcuffs, a set of rosary beads, until with a laugh of victory she finally found what she'd been looking for—a folded piece of paper that looked like an opera program.
"It's the auction program for the night. Look under the submissive listings—they're the ones on the left."
Daniel studied the cover of the program. On cream-colored heavy paper embossed with black and silver ink read the words, "The 8th Annual King's Trust Charity Auction." King's Trust. Cute, Kingsley. Very classy. Daniel opened the program. As was customary, the submissives were auctioned off first—three women and two men—and then the Dominants after the intermission—two women and two men—including himself.
True to form, Kingsley had made sure everything looked respectable and above-board. The program boasted that the winners would be allowed an evening on the town with their prize—all expenses included in the price of the winning bid. Daniel knew that phrase "all expenses included" was code for winner takes all—BDSM, sex, and BDSM sex.
Daniel scanned the listings and found Anya as the last item on the submissive side of the program. Next to her name written in elegant calligraphy were the words—"Grand Prize – Take Anya on her First Date Ever." Daniel's stomach churned at the words "First Date"—code for "still a virgin." An animal possessiveness reared up in Daniel. Anyone who dared bid on Anya would run the risk of the world's most dangerously infatuated librarian Dominant tearing him apart limb from limb.
"Check out the disclaimer," Eleanor said.
Underneath Anya's name in italics were the chilling words, Only natural born American citizens may bid to take Anya on her first date.
"I was afraid of that. She told me she told Kingsley she wouldn't let Canadians bid on her. Hoped she was joking."
Eleanor shook her head as she threw her flotsam back into her bag.
"She might have been joking before. She's not now. Did I mention you're an idiot?"
"Does your owner let you talk to him like this?"
"The first words out of my mouth when I met him at age fifteen were 'you're kind of an idiot.' It was love at first slight."
At that Daniel could only laugh miserably as he gazed up at the ceiling.
"So Plan B?" Eleanor asked.
Plan B…Daniel had hoped it wouldn't come to this. He'd fucked things up bad enough with Anya that he feared any sort of subterfuge on his part would only make it worse. But it wasn't about having her anymore or taking her virginity—not that it had ever been about that. He had to keep her safe. Even if she ended up hating him and never speaking to him again…it didn't matter. It wasn't about him and his happiness. Only Anya.
"Weird question." He turned his head and looked at Eleanor lying next to him on the floor. She was such a beautiful woman with her black hair and green-black eyes, her full breasts and fuller lips, her intelligence, her wicked wit, and her untameable heart. And for the first time in a year and a half, he didn't even remotely want her.
She raised her eyebrow at him and waited.
"Are you a natural born citizen of the United States?"
Eleanor only stared at him.
"God, you're an idiot."
At seven that night, Daniel did something he hadn't done in years—he stood in front of a mirror wearing a suit and tying a tie. He'd eschewed ties ever since Maggie's funeral as he couldn't put one on without remembering that day. But tonight's auction called for formal attire. So on went an old Armani suit of his Maggie had bought for him.
He'd just finished tying his tie when he heard a knock on the door. Daniel wondered who it could be at this hour. Eleanor had agreed to his plan—after calling him an idiot a few more times—but said she would have to meet him at Kingsley's where the auction would be held. He hoped Anya might have had a sudden change of heart but he knew better than to dream that big.
Opening the door he saw a small elderly man standing out in the hallway with a black garment bag.
"Signore Vitale?"
"Signore Caldwell. Your suit is ready."
"My suit? Oh yes, of course." Daniel had almost forgotten he'd been fitted for a new wardrobe. He simply assumed Anya would have put anything of his at the very bottom of her to do list.
Daniel took the garment bag from Signore Vitale.
"Thank you for bringing it to me. I didn't realize you delivered."
"I usually don't. I leave that to my assistant." Signore Vitale smiled sadly at him. "She politely declined."
Daniel's heart sank.
"I'm not surprised."
Signore Vitale nodded at the garment bag.
"Go. Try it on. It may need more tailoring."
"Of course. Please come in."
Daniel left Signore Vitale in his living room while he went back to his bedroom and stripped out of his clothes. He unzipped the garment bag and found an exquisite three-piece suit inside—black with silver pinstripes. Although distinctly modern it had a retro 1940's cut to it. All he needed was a fedora to look like he'd just stepped out of a Humphrey Bogart movie.
Once dressed, Daniel stared at his reflection in the mirror. He'd never really seen what women found so compelling about him—not terribly tall and certainly not pretty. But tonight in this suit he looked…
"Damn," was all Daniel could say.
He went into the living room and found Signore Vitale waiting by the windows.
"Perfect fit," Daniel said. More than perfect, the suit fit like his own skin.
"My assistant, she does amazing work. Far better than mine even when I was a young man. I've never seen her work so hard on one piece before. Even last night she stayed late at the shop picking at the perfect buttons."
Daniel's stomach clenched at the thought of Anya working late sewing his suit by hand.
"Anya did all the work?"
"Every single stitch. Seemed to be a labor of love for her. Such a talent. I'll miss her."
"Miss her?"
Signore Vitale nodded. "She put in her notice a few weeks ago. She's moving back to Quebec to be with her family again."
Be with her family again? Or to run away from him and how much he hurt her? If Anya went back to Quebec, he knew she would never leave again. She'd become a mother to her siblings and give up her whole life taking care of them. Daniel couldn't let that happen.
"When's her last day?"
"It was yesterday. She's going back tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Auction tonight, leaving tomorrow…. "That's not going to happen. I'll keep her here if I have to tie her down."
"Something tells me she might enjoy that."
Daniel smiled.
"Send me the bill. I have to go."
"No bill. Anya paid for it."
Guilt speared his heart like a knife. Damn stubborn girl. If she kept this up, he'd be forced to ask her to marry him.
"Send the bill anyway. Thank you for bringing this to me. Now you'll have to excuse me. I'm going to go buy your assistant."
Signore Vitale shook his head.
"I hope you are as rich as Croesus then. That girl is priceless."
"Worth every penny."
Daniel took a cab to Kingsley's. All the windows in Kingsley's Manhattan townhouse were illuminated with candlelight. Limousines and Rolls Royces came and went dropping off their well-heeled passengers. Daniel pushed past a congressman and into the house just as Eleanor skipped down the main stairway toward him. He couldn't help but smile at her. At formal events in Kingsley's world, all the submissives were required to wear white. Eleanor had on a white Regency style gown with a bow in the front that fell all the way to the hem. Her long black hair was pinned up in curls and ringlets. And around her neck she wore her white collar that looked merely like a choker. She looked ripped straight from the pages of a Jane Austen novel.
"Daniel, you look so fucking hot, I'd suck you off right now if we weren't in public."
"And Jane Austen spins in her grave. You look lovely."
"Thanks. Back at ya. So the plan…"
"Is idiotic, as you said. But it's the only one I have. Can I trust you to go through with it?"
Eleanor batted her dark eyelashes at him.
"Of course! I'll do anything to get in trouble."
"In trouble?"
Nodding, Eleanor turned her head and nodded toward the first landing. A man in black, six foot four with impeccable pale blond hair glared down at him for a moment before stepping away and disappearing up the stairs.
"He's here?" Daniel asked.
"Of course he is. He fucked me like five minutes ago. That has nothing to do with anything. Maybe we should get him to bid for you instead of me. It's all kinksters here tonight. Everyone knows him. And nobody, I mean, nobody would ever bid against him."
"I can believe that. No offense but I trust you more than I trust him."
"That's so sweet. But I just stole your wallet."
Eleanor held up his wallet. Daniel rolled his eyes and took it back from her.
"Come on."
The two of them mounted the stairs and headed up to the third floor. Kingsley had a glass-enclosed rooftop garden and as usual the auction would take place there illuminated by candlelight and city-light.
The auction had just begun by the time they arrived. Eleanor waited at his side under an orange tree. On the opposite side of the garden, Eleanor's owner stood next to Kingsley and watched them both intently.
"Are you really going to get into trouble for helping me?" Daniel whispered to Eleanor.
"You sure you want to go through with it?"
"Daniel." She looked up at him and grinned. "Do you even have to ask?"
Daniel smiled back.
"I'm glad you dumped me," he said. "You terrify me sometimes."
"You say the sweetest things."
Boisterous applause and wolf-whistling erupted as Kingsley came to stand on the small stage at the center of the crowd. So on edge from his nervousness, Daniel barely heard a word of Kingsley's welcome speech and his thank yous to everyone helping support his King's Trust charity with their bids tonight.
"I love you, Kingsley," a woman shouted out in the middle of his speech.
"I loved you too," he replied without missing a beat. "Last Thursday wasn't it? See me after the auction."
The first submissive took the stage and the auctioneer, a handsome older gentleman with silver hair, began the bidding.
"Oh, hello there…" Eleanor purred.
"Are you lusting after the auctioneer?" Daniel whispered.
"No, him." She nodded toward the person on the stage—a tall young man who looked no more than twenty. He had tan skin that made his blue eyes look even brighter. His shaggy dark brown hair fell across his forehead and he nervously swiped it to the side.
"Buy him for me," Eleanor begged, turning her pouting face up to him.
Daniel glanced down at the auction program—Mark Kirchner, age twenty. Beside his name was a tiny letter "s."
"He's a submissive, El."
Eleanor's eyes narrowed at the young man and for a moment she looked genuinely dangerous, almost predatory.
"Oh. Too bad." But she didn't sound the least bit disappointed.
The submissive sold to a man in the audience for an impressive ninety thousand dollars. Daniel shuddered to think what the young man would have to submit to that night to justify that kind of money.
The auction continued and the next three submissives sold between a hundred and a hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
"Wow. Big spenders tonight," Eleanor said. "This is more than they made last year in the entire auction. Hope you're ready to pay up."
"I'm ready," Daniel said.
"You do realize this might not work, right?" Eleanor asked, looking at him with genuine concern in her green-black eyes. "Anya might still hate you."
He nodded. "I'm not buying her to win her forgiveness. I just want her to be safe."
Eleanor rose up on her tip-toes and kissed him on the cheek.
"You're an incredible Dom. And she's an idiot if she doesn't love you back."
"You didn't love me back."
"I'm an idiot. Now shush. It's starting."
Kingsley came back to the stage and introduced their last prize before the intermission. Daniel's hands went numb and his heart fluttered painfully as Anya stepped onto the stage and clung to Kingsley's hand.
"My God…" Daniel breathed. He'd never seen a more beautiful woman in his life. Anya wore a simple gown of pure white. Two small braids formed a crown around her head like a halo while the rest of her long red-black hair fell in waves down her back. On her face she wore a tight smile and a look of sadness tinged with fear in her eyes.
Kingsley kissed the back of her hand, whispered something in her ear, and left the stage.
Daniel's heart pounded ferociously in his chest. The auctioneer took the stage again and began the bidding.
"Let's begin the bidding at fifty thousand dollars."
"What do you want me to bid?" Eleanor asked in a whisper.
"What was the winning bid last time for the Grand Prize?"
"A lot."
One man in the crowd bid the fifty. Another man bid sixty-nine thousand, which led to a round of laughter from the crowd. Daniel memorized that bidder's face so he could find it and break it later. Meanwhile Anya waited on the stage doing her best impression of a statue.
Yet another man bid ninety-thousand.
Then a gasp rippled through the crowd.
Someone had just bid one-hundred thousand dollars. But not just any someone.
"Holy fuck…" Eleanor breathed. "Blondie just on bid on Anya."
She clasped her hand over her mouth in obvious shock.
Daniel stared across the crowd and found Eleanor's owner smiling dangerously at him. No, not smiling. Smirking. And Daniel saw a message in that smirk, a message that read, You had mine. Now I'll have yours.
"Holy shit," Daniel breathed. The entire audience had gone silent. Eleanor had been right. No one, absolutely no one would bid against her owner, the most notorious sadist in the Underground.
"Oh, damn," Eleanor breathed. "Now what, Daniel?"
"I can't let you bid for me. Not against him. Not if it'll get you into trouble."
"Do you want her?"
Daniel wrenched his eyes from Eleanor's handsome smirking owner and looked at Anya. She clearly knew exactly who it was who'd bid on her. He'd warned her a sadist might bid on her. Clearly from the look of abject terror on her face she never dreamed it would be the sadist.
"I love her," Daniel said, knowing as soon as he said the words that they were true.
"How much do you want me to bid?" she asked.
"If there are no further bids," the auctioneer said.
"Hurry, Daniel."
"He'll be furious at you."
"He's cute when he's mad. Winning bid last time was two-hundred and fifty-six thousand," she reminded him. "So…?"
"Bid that," Daniel said, loving Eleanor for her fearlessness—loving her for the first time as a friend and nothing more. "Times ten."

Did You Know?
Credible evidence is evidence that's likely to be believed. A credible plan is one that might actually work, and a credible excuse is one your parents might actually believe. And just as credible means "believable", the noun credibility means "believability". (But we no longer use incredible to mean the literal opposite of credible, just as we no longer use unbelievable as the literal opposite of believable.) Since cred is short for credibility, "street cred" is the kind of credibility among tough young people that you can only get by proving yourself on the mean streets of the inner city.
Origin and Etymology of credible
Middle English, from Latin credibilis, from credere —see credence
First Known Use: 14th century

I am concerned with the content of this site. I read that a cup of coffee has about 12mg of caffeine. The fact is that a Standard cup of coffee 8 oz. has between 50-100mg of caffeine. Any third grader could look this up.
The amount of caffeine in a standard cup of coffee can have a wide range of caffeine amounts. Depending on the type of blend and how it is brewed. Here is an article that talks about the effects of caffeine and coffee and the amounts of caffeine.
I have had the 5-hour energy drinks before and I like them compared to the other types of energy drinks. They also have a caffeine-free 5-hour energy drink. I didn't notice a difference between the two. I am looking on the 5-hour energy drink web site, and oddly they don't list the amount of caffeine. They just say comparable to the leading premium cup of coffee and the extra strength is comparable to a 12-ounce cup of coffee. What id does have are very high amounts of certain B vitamins. Here is a web site that lists the caffeine of all the energy drinks.
I've written an article in response to this question:
The Energy Drink Craze: Its Effects on the Body and Mind
An energy drink may provide a temporary fix, but it does not address you body's basic needs such as good nutrition, exercise, and sleep. It can also be extremely hazardous to use energy drinks as a pre-exercise "pick-me-up." — continue reading...
The average in a cup of coffee has been stated to be about 108mg per 8 ounces, but this obviously depends upon the type and how it is brewed (which is exactly what Sam said). 5-Hour energy has about 138mg in two ounces. This is approximately comparable, but only if you drink just one bottle. I wrote an article response to the topic; see link below.
I agree with the previous posters, but the devil seems to be in the advertising details. As pointed out, the web site says, "Original 5-Hour Energy contains caffeine comparable to a cup of the leading premium coffee. Extra Strength 5-Hour Energy contains caffeine comparable to 12 ounces of the leading premium coffee." If "the leading premium coffee" is a code word for Starbucks coffee, then the actual amount of caffeine could be double (165 mgs./ 8 oz.) versus a cup of regular brewed coffee (80 mgs./ 8 oz.). If you're trying to limit your intake of caffeine, then you should also factor in the other potential sources of caffeine, including many over-the-counter medicines. Take a look at healthyfitnessidea,com for a post about sources of caffeine. It suggests that about 140 to 320 mgs. of caffeine is the safe daily limit for a healthy 150 pound person
I had written to 5-Hour energy (Living Essentials) some 4-5 years back inquiring about the caffeine content of their standard formula. I do not recall the exact numger, but I'm fairly certain that it was either 70 mg or 75 mg per (2 oz) serving. According to the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, the caffeine content of a cup of coffee typically ranges from 80 mg to 175 mg.

With Father's Day this weekend, I've handed the column over to my long-deceased dad for his thoughts on the state of our city:
Why does everything in this city have to change all the time? Why can't things just stay the same?
Just look at Oakridge. It's a perfectly good shopping centre. You know, a good food court with the noodles and such, though I don't care much for those. But some people do and that's just fine. There's lots of free parking. It's even got a carpeted area – you know, a kind of pit for the young ones to play in. But now the Zellers is gone, and they want to build a bunch of high-rise towers in the parking lot. And why? Because it's near a transit line? Why can't Oakridge just stay the same?
Same goes for the East End. You know, around Commercial Drive. Perfectly good neighbourhood right now. Still a few Italians left. There's a Safeway right there with parking spaces big enough to fit a sedan. So what are they doing? They're talking about some kind of "pedestrian plaza" and some more great big apartment buildings. Why? Because there are a couple of rapid transit lines there? Because it's some kind of "transit hub" they say. I don't get it. Why can't they just leave it alone? It's perfectly good the way it is.
And everywhere they're trying to cram more people in. Cambie Street and Marine Drive and along Hastings there. Why are they fiddling with East Hastings? So they can build some more apartments for people to live in? Maybe some of their so-called "affordable housing" too? Whatever that is. It's nice and open the way it is. Where the Canadian Tire used to be. Why did that have to go? Park anywhere you like down there now I tell you.
Down by the Fraser River, you seen that? More buildings with apartments for families? What's that about? Do they have to do it right there? It was better before all of that.
And UBC? Holy lightning! You been out that way lately? It looks like Whistler up there in some parts I tell you. Like a whole new city. All kinds of places to eat and shop and things like banks and places to get a haircut and such. That yogurt place where you can put whatever you like on top? You know, Smarties and whatnot. Never thought I'd see that. And of course all kinds of new apartment buildings too. Tall ones and smaller ones. Who asked for that? I don't remember voting for that. I don't like it. It's all different now.
And the roads? Don't get me going about the roads. So they're going to tear down the viaducts because they want to do something with land underneath? They're doing what? You have to give your head a shake. I like the viaducts. When I get out in the car and drive across those things I feel like I live in an honest-to-goodness city. You know, a proper city. Why in God's name tear them down? They're doing their job and they work perfectly well.
And all the bike lanes? That new one down on Comox Street in the West End? Crazy, that.
I tell you, cars going every which way and the roundabouts. And bikes crossing the streets everywhere?
And down there on Union Street? Where are you supposed to park? And all for what? For a few bikes? You can't be serious.
But that's just the way it is now. Everything keeps changing. They have to make it bigger and better and make more of it. Everything costs more and nobody wants to wait for nothing.
You look around and you tell me what's the matter with this place right now? Nothing, right? Perfectly good.
Except maybe for that Downtown Eastside. Boy, that place is still a mess. You know, the one thing you want them to change and it just stays the same with all of the drugs and everything. And then when somebody tries to make it better – you know, clean it up open up a little cafe or pub or something, they're out there with the signs and the bullhorns. Don't ask me what that's about, I have no idea.
At least the Army & Navy's still there, so that's good.
Not easy to park there, though.
It's all changing I tell you.
Okay, gotta go.

I think I remember that from the movie 'Army of Darkness" with Bruce Campbell.
Nasty looking.
A bunch of plastic or wood pegs, screwed from the back side of a thick piece of plastic, piece of cake. Lexan would be best, but expensive, I would say at least 1/4" thick. Drill and countersink holes for pegs.
Do check your home owners insurance --that looks like a hazard to the health.
Tacky! That is a divorce just waiting to happen.
luckily unmarried :thumbsup:
Find a local freak show and ask for the guy that lies on a bed of nails ... That's what this looks like.
You can get this material for cabinets, bathroom uses, or window replacements. A simple drill will penetrate plastic, and then you need to set in a screws or hooks for your design. You could hang it by putting screws through it, through some sort of spacer (bits of pipe or wood dowels or something) into the studs in the wall.
You could replicate the exact hooks by using Sculpy, a modeling clay that can be baked in an oven. It can make either pottery like items or even has more flexible types (I have some hair ties made from it). An art store would have that.
Can't tell if those pegs are hard or not but I am sure you can find something like it in a craft shop. Looks like it could be one of the 101 uses for a dead cat though.

Here was the original designer!
You blokes are just too funny............
I have to agree that to me it is "Butt Fuggly"..........but a challenge.
This is not as easy as it may appear to build.
For idea's on the pegs go to http://www.bearwood.com/PEGS.HTML
This will save a lot of time if something suits your fancy.
Using a "Shaker Peg" as a hook , these can be pre-painted.
Installing these pegs at an angle will dictate an angled shoulder which should be avoided as it is tough to do, so find one that has a straight shank. If an angle is desired, use a peg with a nob on the end and install it at 90 deg which is simpler. These can be glued into the hole,
The plexiglass is relatively expensive and you will need it to be at least 1/2" thick to hold any weight without buckling. I would suggest using a MDF of 3/4" thick so that you can bore a hole for the peg with a box bit.
A plexiglass or lucite panel of say 1/8" can be picked up at home depot a lot cheaper and added as an overlay.
If you do decide to install the pegs at an angle, you will need to utilize a drill press and set the bed to the angle you need. Take time to position the holes as you will notice the slightest deficit.
We wanna see a photo of this when it's done

/// Yahoo Attempts to Poach AOL Ad Chief Brody to Lead U.S. Sales, Setting Up Possible Legal Battle
In an unusual hiring for a top advertising role, Yahoo has made an offer to AOL's top sales exec Ned Brody to take over as head of its North American sales, according to sources close to the situation. Brody has already resigned from AOL, said sources, where he headed AOL Networks — which used to be called the Advertising.com. It hawks premium display, video and mobile network ads for the Web portal. It is not clear if he has officially taken the job at Yahoo, but it seems likely given the terms, which includes a lucrative salary. More interestingly, sources said that because Brody has a 12-month, non-compete agreement with AOL that the Silicon Valley Internet giant — as part of the deal it is close to striking with him — will pay him to not work in that period. Sources close to both companies said AOL has already informed Yahoo that it might face a legal challenge to hiring Brody, because of the way it might attempt to subvert the 12-month non-compete. Because of big Yahoo offer, AOL did not make a counter-offer to keep him. These kind of fights over ad sales execs have happened before. For example, Microsoft mulled a legal challenge of Facebook's hiring of Carolyn Everson , for example, a tense battle that was later settled . The attractive terms offered to Brody underscore the difficulty that Yahoo has had in filling the slot, which has been open since former U.S. head Ross Levinsohn left the company a year ago. Top ad duties have been shared by Mark Ellis , VP of North American sales and global partnerships (as well as a former AOLer) and Peter Foster, who is VP of solutions development and MMD sales.

They're good, they're whanau, and they're hungry.
The 2013 netball season could have an entirely new dynamic in the form of a team raised from scratch being given the chance to trial for Premier 1.
And for East Club SportsEdge, it's the playoffs or bust.
Manager Tina Priddle said the idea came about at the end of last year when her daughter and three other players from the champion Kaierau A1 team were not happy with their spots in that lineup.
Wanting to be more self-reliant, the four breakaway girls have combined with six others mostly cousins and nieces from Marist, Wanganui High School, Cullinane College, Wellington and even one from retirement.
Cleared to trial for Premier 1 two weeks ago by Netball Wanganui, it could make for some interesting play if SportsEdge get through as expected and face up against Kaierau down the line.
"A lot of people weren't happy because they think it's diluting the talent pool," said Priddle.
"We don't see it that way. We've just made a team for these girls that would have got lost in the system.
"It's just about netball to us."
Priddle said as they linked up with the East Club, who have three other teams, there is enough depth to cover injury.
She said they would like to create a playing style that encourages "natural flow" through the court, with flair.
"Everyone that's involved, they're not just playing netball [for fun].
"With this group of girls there's a determination to win."
The squad will play a warm-up match against a men's team on April 7, ahead of the Fast Five tournament on April 13.
Netball Wanganui's development officer Lisa Murphy said the team has been given the go-ahead to trial for Premier 1 when grading is held in the weeks leading up to the start of competition on May 20.
"This year's the first year we've done it when you have to win Premier 2, or Secondary School's Premier, or be part of it the year before to be invited to trial for Premier 1."
SportsEdge is also one of two teams who were granted a "wild card", Murphy said. The other is a combined Taihape/Utiku team.
The East Club SportsEdge 2013 squad is: Emily Huwyler, Karaihi Peina, Deshannon Matthews, Taniele McDonnell, Aneka Erueti, Amiria Paranihi, Terehia Gardiner, Jevada Kinnaird, Julie Rowan, Waimanawa Potaka-Osborne Whanarere. Coach: Trish Anstis. Manager: Tina Priddle. Physio: Deb McEwen.

Workers walk out over bugging claims
Page Tools
Workers at Grocon's Eureka development site in Melbourne have walked off the job after finding what they say was a listening device in their union officials' meeting room. The company has denied the claim.
The workers, who walked out this week, say they will not return to work until Tuesday.
Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union assistant secretary Bill Oliver said the device was found behind a filing cabinet in a room that was also used for private counselling.
Mr Oliver said the matter had been reported to police. "This is one of the most disgraceful acts we have encountered in a long time," he said.
A Grocon spokesman said claims the company planted the device were "an outrageous lie".

Russia is defined as "Catholic" on the world religion maps.
Russia is under the unseen hand or (black hand) from what I've seen on tv and read about. They are also the great army of the North.
Now I don't see any evidence to support that they have any reason to destroy any more of the Illuminati then they need to to secure a higher position among it's ranks. "to ensure futurity".
There is no sovereign national government left to oppose the Illuminist agenda. Only a fierce and sudden uprising across the entire earth and a whole and complete enlightenment of the masses could stop the ball from dropping now. It's already been rolling a long time.
Obviously hoping for a mass awakening among the people is nothing more than a wild fantasy.
All we can hope for now is that they just quit stalling and get to what must be done.
Rebuild the temple and set the world on fire.

Why is my cat all of a sudden pooping on the couch??
I have an 8 year old Persian male. He's always been great about using his litter box, even after each move we've made (and we've made many together). Our recent move brought us to NY from VA in February of this year. I did my normal routine and set him in his litter box, and he's been fine since. Up till about 3 weeks ago.
I kept forgetting to buy some more litter for his box. So it was REALLY low. I blamed myself when he started pooping on the couch upstars. When I finally remembered to buy some more, he stopped for a day or so. Now he's doing it again. His box has always been kept clean (I clean it once, sometimes twice a day). So that's not it.
Is he still upset over running out of litter? Could that even have been the reason? Or is something else going on?
I saw a few other posts about putting a couple bowls of food on the couch, so i'm going to try that. I hope it works.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated!

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Hi, Jackie. You actually answered your own question. In addition to stress over the move (even if he's done it many times, it's STILL upsetting to him)his box was, as you said, practically litter-less. When something is not to my Delilah's liking, she will use the bathtub for a litter box. Cats also use feces for marking their territory. He should also establish himself with a vet in NY just in case he's got a health issue with his pooping like impacted anal glands. You can try food bowls up on the sofa, cleaning it with an oxy-based furniture cleaner to destroy any remaining odor, putting bubble wrap or foil on the seat or even double-sided tape. But mostly, just make sure he's got as much litter as he likes in his box, some extra "I'm sorry I forgot" treats as an apology to him ;-) and extra pets and attention.

President Obama told the American people it was time to turn our backs on "a decade of war" and discover new paths in which the United States carefully decides when to engage in shooting people and when it decides that negotiation is the better part of valor. Obama proposes reducing the size of the armed forces by at least 500,000 men and women over the coming years which would also reduce the amount of money being spent by the Pentagon.
The president identified three issues which in one way or another must shape our ideas on war and peace. First, the 9/11 decade is over. Passions of revenge over the attack must give way to analytical decisions about war and peace. Second, our focus must shift to Asia which is the new center of the world in this century. Third, the United States simply cannot afford to devote $700 billion each year to the gods of war. Our infrastructure needs more attention than our war infrastructure.

Ladies, level with me - is the moment you see demonstrated in these pics of Ashley Greene out shopping, the most fulfilling moment of your life? Even more than the day you get married or the first sight of your newborn baby? It's really these shopping excursions that you live for, isn't it? I mean, all those other things are nice, but how could any of you survive without the successful attainment of things via the careful inspection of multiple store inventories? Ya'll are definitely getting down to some primeval gathering instinct shit when you're shopping. It's a total satiation of your ancient gathering instincts - only now it's shoes and blouses instead of nuts and berries.
As a guy, I'm ambivalent. Sure, it's boring and I really don't understand why you do what you do when you shop. Yet, I'm also driven by instinct - namely the desire to keep you or someone like you around. So there I am, on an uncomfortable bench, purse in hand, waiting. Still, I can imagine worse things than being the man Ashley Greene trusts with her purse outside the changing room. I'd gladly put up with that annoyance.

Star Wars action figures, dominoes enter Toy Hall of Fame
By Ben Dobbin
ROCHESTER, NY (Reuters) - Darth Vader has taken up residence at the National Toy Hall of Fame.
The intergalactic action figure and other characters from the "Star Wars" movies, as well as the game of dominoes were chosen on Thursday to be included in the Toy Hall of Fame at The Strong, a children's and cultural history museum in western New York.
The winners muscled out 10 other nominees including the board game Clue and little green army men to take their place alongside Barbie, Mr. Potato Head and the teddy bear in the Toy Hall of Fame.
"Darth Vader is in the house," Patricia Hogan, the museum's curator of toys and dolls, said in an interview. "The characters from Star Wars tie into a story that is as ancient as Greek or Roman mythology. They are a force to be reckoned with."
Dominoes, the other winner, emerged in China in the late 1200s and became the rage in Europe in the 18th century.
"I like to think that what links dominoes and the action figures this year is they're both small but powerful products that create play opportunities," said Christopher Bensch, the museum's chief curator.
"We hold those up against our three big criteria: longevity, recognition, and creative learning-engagement play, not just pushing a button and letting something do its trick."
The winners were chosen from more than 300 toys that are nominated each year. The list is whittled down to 12 by the museum's curators and a national committee of a dozen educators, academics, collectors and toy experts from around the country select the two or three winners. Continued...

MovieScope By Robert Snyder
MovieScope By Robert Snyder
'Man On Fire' – Scott Too Hot
Director Tony Scott loves mucking up his movies.
At least, that's what he is doing to his latest, "Man on Fire," the Denzel Washington revenge thriller. The film is so awash with post-production color saturation, speedy camera effects and super-stylized subtitles that we have a hard time finding Oscar-winner's performance in the movie mess. The filmmaker should cool down and let the story come to the surface.
The film starts "Apocalypse Now"-style, as ex-CIA assassin John Creasy (Washington) arrives in Mexico City with a Bible and a bottle of Jack Daniels to experience purgatory over past sins, while commiserating with former colleague Rayburn (Christopher Walken). A title card tells us that in Latin American countries, relatives of rich people are kidnapped one every 60 minutes, so Rayburn asks Creasy to do a high-risk baby-sitting job for a friend. Warning that he is an alcoholic, the retired assassin reluctantly agrees. Before long, Creasy is squiring around adorable little 9-year-old Pita (Dakota Fanning of "I Am Sam"), the daughter of wealthy Mexican factory owner Samuel (Marc Anthony) and his American trophy wife, Lisa (Radha Mitchell).
Because Creasy wants to remain miserable, he acts cold to Pita's cuteness. Ultimately, however, he caves in and becomes her best pal and mentor, guiding her to a successful showing on the swim team. The bonding makes Creasy a better man — he now realizes that life is worth living.
The Brian ("Mystic River," "L.A. Confidential") Hegeland script has the inevitable kidnapping of Pita occur during a blaze of bullets on an urban street. Creasy sustains more holes than Swiss cheese, yet rallies back big time and vows to kill anyone and everyone involved in the abduction which, he believes, resulted in Pita's death.
And, killings are not done with any degree of decency by the ex-assassin. He uses methods that would have impressed Saddam Hussein's sons. The idea is that if you kill a cute American kid, your brutal torture is totally justified. At one point, an elderly man in an apartment where Creasy is setting up a grenade launching attack reminds him that the Bible preaches forgiveness. Creasy's response: "It's for God to forgive. I just arrange the meeting." This reasoning is further explained when Rayburn says of his friend, "He's an artist of death. And he's about to paint his masterpiece."
The final act of "Fire" is sickening enough to keep Dakota's parents from allowing their daughter to see it. Among the horrors are scenes that involve the agonizing amputation of body parts and explosives detonated in a bad guy's rectum. The problem is that the executioner is our hero. The only relief from the torture is provided by Scott's distracting camera tricks.
Washington appears to have an affection for brutality. "Training Day" had him playing a bad brut. Here, he gets to show the "good" side of torture. Maybe, his next movie should be directed by Mel ("The Passion of the Christ") Gibson.

Police are still questioning a man on suspicion of murder, after the burnt body a 16-year-old girl was found in an alley, with fatal stab wounds in the head and face.
Lancashire Police said a post-mortem examination showed Sasha Marsden, from Blackpool, died as a result of "significant stab wounds".
Ms Marsden lived with her parents in the Staining area of the town and was in the first year of a childcare course at Blackpool and The Fylde College.
Her body was found in an alley after 9pm on Thursday behind Kirby Road, a few blocks off the Promenade on the resort's South Shore.
Police said a 22-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman, both from Blackpool, were arrested nearby a short time later.
The woman has since been released without charge, but police say they have been given more time to question the man.
A police spokesman said: "Following the death of Sasha Marsden, a Home Office post-mortem examination has been carried out and has found that Sasha died as a result of receiving significant stab wounds to the head and face.
"It also showed that attempts were made to set the body on fire and this was after Sasha had died.
"Detectives have been granted a warrant of further detention in respect of a 22-year-old man and he will be detained at Blackpool police station for a further 36 hours."
On Friday, crime scene investigators did a forensic search of the alley and at the Grafton House bed-and-breakfast hotel on Kirby Road.
Mandy Pritchard, head of the college's school for society, health and childhood, said she was "a friendly, considerate individual who cared about her fellow students".
Numerous tributes were paid to the youngster on a Facebook page set up in her memory.
