Chess Pieces, Ch.6 - Complications
"Casey?" he asked me, waving his right hand in front ofmy face, "are you alright?"
"Yes, of course I am," I lied, smiling from cheek to cheek, "I just… I just can't believe you're here. I… I missed you so much." I moved forward towards him wrapped my arms around his neck to hug him. He held me around my waist and pulled my closer to his chest. My cheek sat perfectly against his shoulder. His familiar scent filled my nostril, dancing around and delighting my taste buds. He smelled gorgeous.
"I missed you too." He murmured, kissing the top of my head and swaying us gently from side to side.
"I thought you couldn't get any earlier ticket." I asked, pulling away from him to look up at his handsome face. I smiled to myself; he looked just how I remembered.
"I know, but my dad managed to find me one. It cost a bit more, but it was worth it. I couldn't stand not being able to see your beautiful face more a moment longer." He leaned down softly and kissed tenderly on my lips. He smiled but I had to force myself to.
Visions of Marc and I just moment ago filled my thoughts. How could I have been so stupid? I loved Ben, yet I'd gone behind his back and almost, maybe, slept with Marc. If it hadn't have been for Ben arriving when he did, things could have been a whole lot different right about now. I'd be making the biggest mistake of my life… or would I?
Yes… of course I would have made a mistake. I didn't love Marc; I loved Ben and always would. If anything would have happened with Marc it would have been for the sheer moment and nothing more… right? Yes! I loved Ben. I loved Ben. I loved Ben!
"Are you alright? You look like you've smelt something bad. It's not me, is it?" Ben asked, half seriously, half jokily. I cleared my mind and looked up at him.
"No, I'm fine, I was just thinking, that's all. You've just missed James; he's taking his nap."
"Oh no, I was hoping to catch him before he went down. Obviously I arrived a little late, eh? At least that gives us a little longer to catch up with each other. Are Teresa and Jerry home?"
"No, they've gone into town for some shopping, and mum's with them." I replied, removing my arms from around his neck to tie my hair up with a spare hair tie around my wrist. The Sun shone down right down on us, increasing my body temperature and making me sweat. I had two good reasons for tying my hair up: to prevent the heat from being too uncomfortable on the back on my neck, but also to refrain me from feeling even more awkward about the complication I'd gotten myself into than I already had.
"So, we've got the house all to ourselves?" Ben asked, smiling and pulling me closer for another kiss. He pressed his lips against mine: a much weaker, sterner kiss than previously, on my behalf. I placed my, now, free hands on his shoulder and pushed him away again.
"Not exactly…" I told him, raising my eyebrows and opening my mouth a crack. Ben chuckled.
"I know, apart from James, obviously."
"That's not what I meant."
"Casey?" asked a male voice from behind me. Ben looked over and frowned. I turned and recognized Marc instantly, "Who's this?" He came to stand to my right, smiling in snidely at Ben. He knew well enough who he was, he just wanted me to undergo the embarrassment of introducing Ben to him… to the guy I'd almost cheated on him with… had cheated on him with.
"This is Ben," I told him, hiding my frustration with him reasonably. I turned to look back at Ben who didn't look too impressed, "Ben, this is Marc: Teresa and Jerry's son. He came to visit them a few weeks ago."
He's also the guy I had my hands all over just five minutes ago.
Ben relaxed a little then, taking his guard down now that this mystery man had been revealed and introduced. He removed his arms from my waist and held his left arm out to Marc.
"Pleased to meet you, Marc." He said, politely, "I hope you've been taking care of my Casey whilst she's been here." Marc took hold of Ben's outstretched hand and shook it firmly and tightly. He smirked.
"Oh, I have been, you don't have to worry about that," He answered, shifting his gaze quickly at me before returning them back to Ben. He smiled a wide, toothy grin and clasped his other hand around their eloped hands, "you don't have to worry about that at all."
"Thank you," Ben replied, returning the gesture and smiling unsurely back. He loosened his grip and tugged his hand away from Marc who held both of his own hands together at his waist, "I appreciate it." The three of us remained stood in the doorway surrounded by an awkward silence. The atmosphere was tense and the quietness was uncomfortable.
"Why don't I take your bags upstairs, Ben?" Marc announced, breaking the silence and smiling a little too enthusiastically. His eyes didn't match: they were stone cold.
"Oh, yes, thank you… again. I'll, err… help you, of course. I wouldn't want to pile the whole load of them on you, that'd be rude." He replied turning to pick up one of the two cases he'd brought with him – the biggest one – and bringing it into the house, "where will I be sleeping, by the way?"
"Well, you've got a choice: you can either sleep in a spare guest room, or you can sleep in the stable. I'd suggest the stable." Marc replied, smirking to himself. I shook my head at his failed attempt at a joke. However, I didn't smile; I was annoyed by him because I knew that he wasn't joking… he would send Ben to the barn if he was given the opportunity to.
"I think I'll take the guest room. But thanks for offering the barn. I'm sure it's very nice." Ben laughed back, accepting the joke as, well, a joke and turned back to face me. I forced a smile so he wouldn't get suspicious of me, "I'll meet you upstairs in a minute, yeah?" he kissed me quickly on the cheek before taking the first couple of steps up the wooden stairway.
"Go right to the top, take the corridor to the right and it's the second door on the left." Marc called up to him to Ben without taking his eyes off me. Ben nodded and pulled his heavy case up easily step by step. Once he'd disappeared down the corridor, Marc brushed by me, jolting my shoulder ever so slightly as he went, to collect the second case on the doorstep. He grabbed hold of it by the pull along handle and manoeuvredit into the hallway.
"You know what, Casey," Marc began, pausing by my side. I didn't look at him. I simply folded my arms, looked away and frowned to myself. He laughed softly and leant in closer to my ear and whispered softly, "things are going to get far more interesting… I can feel it." My cheek tingled as his lips pricked it sweetly. I sighed, bowed my head a fraction and briefly closed my eyes.
His finger tips were electric against the skin on my chin as he spun it round to face him before reattaching his lips to mine, like before, but I retreated quickly, pulling away and standing away from the foot of the stairs.
"I don't want to hurt Ben, Marc. I love him and I don't want anything to happen whilst he's here that would destroy that. We've gone through too much to through it all away now.
"If you do or say anything to him that might jeopardize our relationship, I will never forgive you and never speak to you ever again… and that's a promise." Marc smirked and ran his hand through his hair… he really was a handsome man… if only he hadn't complicated everything up for me.
"We both know that you won't be able to resist me, Casey," he sneered, "We've both go what we wanted once today and I am more than confident that I can be successful another time; you're so easy to persuade."
"You speak to me as if I'm a child," I snapped, ferociously though not loud enough for Ben to hear or wake James, "you're acting like the first Marc I met last Christmas: snide, rude and inconsiderate to others. You have no right to talk to me like that; Ben won't stand for it when I tell him."
"But you see, Casey, you won't tell him, for two reasons; one, you don't want to risk losing him, and two, you don't want to risk losing me. Actually, let's make it three reasons because, you see, I have you wrapped around my little finger and there's nothing you can do about it.
"One little thing goes wrong between us and I let lover boy know about your little cheating ways. Yes, fists may be introduced but it won't be me he'll be mad at, it'll be you because, when you think about it, if you loved him – really loved him that is – you wouldn't have cheated on him in the first place, would you?" Marc smiled grimly before pacing towards my shocked self and planting a sly kiss on my forehead before turning back and pulling the second case upstairs to Ben's guest room.
I stood in shock silence with my arms remaining folded and my body shaking feebly from side to side. Had I just been black mailed? Or bullied into some sort of deranged truce? I was too confused.
Marc's words lingered in my mind, bouncing from corner to corner, scarring it and bruising it as it went. I could feel myself wanting to cry but refusing to be defeated by him. I wasn't afraid of Marc, no, I was just worried… and concerned about what he could do… what he could do to Ben and I… what he could break within seconds. That's what scared me the most.
Losing Ben again would kill me. I honestly couldn't imagine myself without him… I couldn't imagine him not being there for me… for me and James. James needed his daddy, I wouldn't be able to do it on my own… we both needed him.
The creak of the stairs made me jump as they echoed around the narrow hallway. I looked up and saw Ben, smiling down towards me. His expression changed when he met mine.
"Case, what's the matter? Are you crying?" he asked me, truly concerned. He stood in front of me and held my hands tightly. I shook my head.
"No, I'm not crying I'm just… I'm just so glad you're here. I've missed you so much. I'm… I'm overwhelmed more than anything. I thought you were never going to come." I did begin to cry then. I felt silly crying in front of him, just like I did in front of anybody I knew; even mum.
"Oh, Casey," he soothed, taking me in his arms and pulling me towards him. I locked my arms around his waist and cried into his chest. He stroked my back with his left hand and held onto the back of my head with the right, trying not to mess up my recently tied up hair, "I'm here now, baby, and I'm staying for as long as I can. I'm not going to leave your side at all during this visit. It's going to be just the two of us… and James, of course… our little family. I love you, Casey."
"I love you too." I answered through snotty tears. Fortunately, I put on water proof mascara this morning so risk of staining his nice, clean, pastel blue shirt was low. That couldn't be said so much for the damp patches where my tears had leaked onto, "Promise you'll always be there for me, won't you? Promise that you'll always be there for me and James. I don't think I'd be able to manage without you. You're so special to me. I couldn't bear the thought of losing you."
"You're not going to lose me. I'll always be here for you, no matter what. And I promise I will always be there for James. He's my son and I love him. Now, stop this crying. You were in tears when you left in June and now you're in tears when I'm here. Calm down my silly, lovely, beautiful girl." He moved his right hand from the back of my head and chucked my chin up with it, pulling me closer towards him. I tilted my head up as he tilted his down, gluing our lips together and remaining so for a few moments. The kiss was deep and meaningful; everything that a kiss should be.
Marc's threats would always be in the back of my mind, but Ben would always be in the front and the fact that I loved him and that he loved me and that we had a son that loved us both more than life itself.

The result marks a sharp slowdown from the previous quarter's 5 percent expansion and underscores the country's fragile recovery.
On a quarterly basis, GDP - or the total value of the nation's goods and services - grew 0.1 percent from the October-December period, the Cabinet Office said in its preliminary report.
Japan has been benefiting from blistering growth in Asia to fuel exports and production. Government stimulus measures have also helped consumption at home, but they haven't been enough to bolster overall domestic demand.
Analysts expect growth to slow even further in the months ahead as the global economy cools. A stronger yen, which hit a 15-year high against the dollar last week, also poses a major risk for the country's export-driven economy. Yen appreciation reduces the value of their overseas profits when repatriated and makes Japanese products more expensive abroad.

It's been a few weeks since everything happened. I couldn't take all the bullying and the threats. I jsut wanted to have a normal life but with me being how I am, I knew I couldn't.
I stuck my thumb out, hoping someone would pick me up. I was miles away from home. I was scared out of my mind but of course who wouldn't be? I was only a teenager and I ran away from my family not because we were fighting or I was raped. It's something that a few of my friend committed suicide from. It was being gay. I already lost about 3 of them and how much more could I lose? Who knows? I didn't want to end up like them so I ran away. I was scared of what my parents would say if they found out.
To my luck someone did pull over. They asked me where I was heading and I said L.A. It's a good thing they were heading that way too. I guess luck was on my side. I was a few states away and I knew I could make it with help. The reason why I wanted to go to L.A.? Well, who doesn't want to go there? I hear it's awesome there. Though I'm from Canada so I can only imagine what's there.
I already used the money I had for food. I wasn't rich either, so running away was hard. I was very tired and fell asleep the moment I sat down. I have a long journey.

wheel sizes...differences?
November 28, 2008, 11:25:19 AM »
Ok, So I am looking at the market right now and the busses for sale. I know that the Alcola wheel seem to be the right choice. But, I am wondering on the different sizes. I see most are 22.5" diameter but some are the 24 or 24.5" diameter. Which are better? Is it a personal preference? Is there a greater tire selection with one size wheel verses the other? Can gearing be changed that much between the two? If one is definately better than the other, and the bus that I end up buying has the least desirable of the two, how much do new or a good set of used wheels cost nowadays? Are there differences in the cost of tires or longevity of the tires between the two sizes?
Thanks again.... and hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, spending it with family and friends...
regards, Brad

turbo, at one time the 24.5 were the most popular because the trucks used that size that is not the case any more to get 24.4 on new trucks they need to be ordered as 22.5 have become the standard size I changed to 12R 22.5 from 24.5 11R and never regretted it.FWIW the 22.5 is a world wide standard
have a great day

Brad -
Another perspective, and this only applies to GMC coaches:
GMC designed the powertrain around tires that turn 495 revs per mile. On the 4106 model, the results were 60 mph @ 1650 rpm with the stock 4-spd transmission and 4.125:1 rear axle.
GM powertrains sit side-saddle across the back of the coach (except for the Scenicruiser), consequently there is a bevel gearset that directs the prop shaft in the proper direction to the rear axle. Fourth gear is 1:1 in the stick, and the bevel ratio is 0.808, yielding a 3.333:1 overall final drive. (1:1 x 0.808 x 4.125:1)
However, many folk have converted their coaches over to the V-730 automatic, which has a 0.875 bevel gearset. The math ends up giving you an overall ratio of 3.609:1, roughly a 5% engine rpm increase at any particular road speed, with subsequent drop in top speed and fuel mileage.
Since the 4.1:1 rear axle is the "tallest" available for the V-drive layout, the ONLY way a GMC owner can pick up some of that lost 5% is by going to tires that turn LESS than 495 revs per mile. In many cases, this requires changing from 20 or 22.5 wheels to the larger 24.5 rims.
Lots of 22.5 tires turn right around or slightly more than the magic 495 rpm for GMCs, but very, very few turn less. OTOH, looking thru the 24.5 sizes, one can find several that turn less - I've even found one 24.5 Bridgestone model that turns 470 rpm, which almost,
matches the OEM road speeds for those who have opted for the automatic. Obviously, if one has 22.5s on the coach now, and wants to bring back that OEM performance, they'd have to switch to 24.5 rims.
Enough about GMCs and their unique requirements. . .
Two-stroke's right, however. The tire market is definitely going to the 22.5 as more popular. They're also switching to metric sizing for the HD tires, something we've had in the auto side of things for the last what, 15 years or so?
MCIs and Prevosts have normally come from the factory with 12R22.5 tires. Stock "bus size" tire for the last couple of decades. Not always easy to find at your local truck stop at Oh Dark Thirty when you need one - the challenge then takes on your wallet big time. Depending on the situation, and if you don't have a spare hidden away behind the front bumper, sometimes you can limp on by using a tag tire or outside dual for a short distance.
As I said earlier, metric sizing is starting to make inroads with the HD tires now. The familiar 12R22.5 crosses over to a 315/80R22.5, but there's a caveat here, also: Highway vs City.
Yup, there are different bus tires for transit vs highway use. All HD tires are speed rated (passenger cars are too, for that matter), with the majority of transit bus models rated at 50 or 55 mph. The major difference between highway and city tires is the sidewalls. Transit tires have much heavier sidewalls, because those drivers thoroughly believe that the cement curb is part of the braking system, so they're scrubbed often. That and in the hotter SW climates, transit brakes generate a tremendous amount of heat as they drive a block and stop, over and over. So the tires are designed for the heavier heat load in the bead area, and the heavier sidewalls to resist curb scrubbing. Ride quality is not a major concern for this market either, for that matter.
Obviously, then, highway tires are built to different criteria - a comfortable ride at 70+ mph, with lots of airflow to help keep temps reasonable (although inside duals run hotter due to less airflow). You also get your choice of steer, drive or all-position tires, just to keep the matrix interesting.
Point here, tho, is if/when shopping for tires for your coach, make sure you're getting highway rated, not city-transit rated. May look the same, but they aren't. Do your homework.
New Alcoas or Accurides run about $350 or so each, new steel Accurides are about $100. Sometimes you can score a good deal on a set from a truck boneyard, many have.

Really great write-up....Thanks.
Question, if the trucking industry is going to 22.5 and you have to special order 24.5 in some cases...why is 22.5 so hard to find at a truck stop facility?
Can I get the same options in both sizes at the same price? I think 24.5 offered more options and prices but that may be oldschool dated info.
Thanks again,

My old Crown Super Coach had 12R x 22.5 tires mounted on 2 hole and 4 hole steel Budd type wheels. I was told the 2 hole version was slightly stronger, but this only applys to steel wheels.
The plan was to mount surplus "take offs" 11R x 24.5 truck tires already mounted to Alcoha wheels. Yeah, lots of truckers are going from 24.5 back down to 22.5 wheel and tire sizes.
Another source that may save $money$ (and be fun) is to get to know your local heavy truck wrecking/recycling yard. Be amazed at the good stuff available for sale for little cost.
Sometimes they may have sets of tires and wheels from trucks that don't need them any more, like taken off wrecks. $Deals$ with mounting might be had. HB of CJ

My transit came with 12R-22.5 at 485rpm. Because the 12R is harder to find on the road, and I wanted the largest tire on my bus since transits are lower than highway buses, I changed to 11R-24.5 at 473rpm. With 4.56 rear axle ratio and the V730, that works out to be 1898 at 60mph. I run just a bit less than that at 1835rpm which is 58mph. With my engine turned up to 2400rpm, I can get a top speed of 75mph if needed. Good Luck, TomC

Thanks to all that replied...and RJ, WOW...What a detailed response That is exactly what i was looking for. So, the 22.5" wheels and tires are becoming the industry norm, then that is what I will look for. Thanks again.
I understand on the GM coaches in reference to the gearing. I was wondering if that was the reason on any of the other coaches... but if the tire selection is better with the 22.5....and that is what is on most coaches...then thats what I will go with..
I am also probably going with a MCI.... unless a Majorly good deal happens on another brand of coach.
Thanks again,

One precaution here, the tires may have been flat spotted in the course of the wreck that brought the truck into the yard.

Just a comment on 24.5's. North American trucks are just about the only on road trucks that use 24.5 rubber. 22.5 is the norm in the rest of the world. Just go to any tire site and see how many 22.5's are offered compared to 24.5. Michelin is making a X-One RV version now that is better riding then the truck version. If I had a Crown, Gillig, or PD4501 with tandems, the big single X-ones would look really cool. Good Luck, TomC

I think you are speaking of RJ's post. What he said was the 12/22.5, found standard on the MCIs and Prevosts,are hard to find in truck stops. The truck standard is the 11/22.5 and they can be found in any truck stop that sells tires. Did I just muddy the waters or did that help?

Now I'm curious and hoped you would explain why trucks went to 24.5 from 22.5 and then back again??
As much as I hate duals I do like the idea of having a spare already on the ground when one goes flat. Those big singles don't appeal to me at all and they must cost a mint.

I believe US trucks are split almost evenly between the two sizes, but the 22.5's weigh less and that equates to better mileage. Also the trailers can be taller with the smaller tire which results in larger cargo volume.

OOOOOOOOO, that makes so much sense it must not be true. Thank you for the only answer I have ever heard that makes sense.
You cleared the water. I didn't pick up on the 11 and 12 thing. So why don't we go with 11's that are more common? I know that a narrower tire rolls easier and weighs less. Honest question now, really.

I have ran 12R 22.5 on every bus I owned and they have never been a problem to find anywhere in the USA I have traveled, who knows where this got started from.I cut one in McCall ID and the dealer there had 4 in stock.Who would want to buy one at a truck stop if you don't have one of the tire co's fleet card a $400.00 tire at a truck stop will cost you $600.00
JohnEd, I buy my 12R 22.5 every 4 years from what I think is the best tire dealer in the USA located in your state of OR Les Scwap Tire and they always have the 12R 22.5 Toyos or other brands in stock.I also drive to Eugene to have brake and alignment work done from one of the best Dick Kaiser at Kaiser Wheel and Alignment.Buses drive better and ride better with the 12R 22.55 or the metric version, in my opinion
good luck

Most all trucks are now 22.5 rubber. About the only trucks made with 24.5 rubber are owner-operators that already have 24.5's. Even off road loggers types are using 22.5. I'd like to switch my truck from the 11R24.5's but have 28" diameter fuel tanks that are already too low to the ground. 22.5's are available from 7.5" to 12" wide, and from 235mm to 445mm in metric. Good Luck, TomC

I can easily believe all that you said and you carry weight with me and others. I have heard that 22.5 was difficult for many years. One of my tire guys told me that 24.5 used to be the most popular but that in recent years the 22.5 and metric have taken that over. He said prices were about the same at his shop, at least. So I can see where it started, it just isn't true anymore. Thank you for taking the time.
Les Schwab has a superb rep here but I don't buy his house brand even though it is a good tire. I buy Toyo or Mich. and get a national warranty. His service is exceptional, as you must know, but your's is the common opinion.
I see Dick Kaiser every couple of weeks and most enjoy visiting with his daughter(younger than my daughters) Sharon(?). Bad with names and it isn't anything new. His rep is solid throughout the area. He does a lot of work for Marathon and Country Coach.
You know lots of good people Luvr. Give a holler next time you get to town. I would like to stop down at Dicks while you are there and see your bus.
Have a nice holiday,

I think the idea/rumor/urban legend of 12R22.5s being hard to find a truck stops comes from the early '70s, when the charter, tour & line-haul buses first began running this size.
At that time, 24.5s were the most common truck tire rim size, so naturally were abundantly stocked at most shops.
Obviously that has changed in the ensuing 30+ years. And, with the improvement in tire technology over the same period, that leads to:
Gary hitting the nail right on the head as a reason for the smaller tires on the 18-wheelers: they weigh less, which means the truck can haul more weight, which equals more revenue per load. Follow the money!!

I agree with JE, your answer makes a lot of sense. Makes me wonder why there ever was a 24.5?

Welcome to TV This Week! Your one-stop shop for all the cool sci-fi and fantasy stuff you should be watching over the next seven days!
It's finally arrived: The CW's massive "Invasion!" crossover arrives. The event kicks off on Supergirl, then feeds into Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow throughout the week. It's arguably one of the biggest TV events ever attempted, and it'll be positively insane to see so many heroes share the screen at one time. Regardless of whether you only watch some of these shows, be sure to set your DVR so you'll catch 'em all.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. also returns this week, as we continue to follow Ghost Rider's journey. If you haven't been watching, it's high time to come back. This show is really hitting its stride. Over on Syfy (Corporate owner of Blastr -Ed.), the near-future thriller Incorporated makes its debut with a white-knuckle pilot into the world of corporate espionage.

Industrial encroachment in North America's 1.5 billion-acre boreal forest could endanger billions of birds and other species. A new report calls for saving half of boreal forest acreage to protect the habitat for more than 300 migratory bird species. The northern landscape is beset with oil, gas, mining and other industrial hazards destined for a vast, pristine woodland.
Stretching from Alaska to Newfoundland, the boreal forest -- the circumpolar woods that circle the upper Northern Hemisphere -- provides habitat for up to 3 billion nesting and migratory birds, according to the report, "Boreal Birds Need Half: Maintaining North America's Bird Nursery and Why it Matters," released this week by the Boreal Songbird Initiative, Ducks Unlimited and Ducks Unlimited Canada.
More species have become threatened and endangered due to industrial encroachments into the birds' habitats. For example, Canada warblers and evening grosbeaks have both recently experienced close to 80 percent declines in numbers, says the report. The document outlines the economic and ecological importance of these species. For example, birding-related business generates some $100 billion per year in the U.S. and Canada alone, said Jeff Wells, associate scientist at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the report's lead author.
While the boreal forest remains one of the largest intact forests on Earth, it is "also seen as the last great frontier for natural resource extraction," said Wells of the urgency to protect these areas.
Southern boreal forests have already been affected by oil and gas mining, forest product industries, hydropower, and roads and infrastructure.
Currently, Canada is considering usage policies that will affect the remaining intact 70 percent of the boreal area. "Decisions are being made today about what will happen over the next 100 years," said Wells.
In Canada, most land use decisions are made at the provincial or territorial level, said Wells, adding that hundreds of indigenous communities still live in remote boreal areas, where they rely on the land and water for their survival.

I truly never thought I'd go this far. Never imagined I'd be using baking soda to clean a bathtub or vinegar to make my stainless appliances shine. However gradually it happened. One by one the name brand bottles are being used for my homemade brews. And I have my eye on the ones that remain. Their days are numbered…
But laundry detergent? Grating soap was simply not going to happen. A line was clearly drawn and I was not going to cross it. Then a wise and resourceful friend (yeah Juliet!) shared a recipe for no grate laundry detergent and well, it looked ridiculously easy. I decided to give it a go.
With every recipe tweaks are made to draw them more in line with what works for me and this one was no exception. I'm not the biggest fan of Borax so out it went and by doing so this product has made it permanently into the rotation. I've been using it for about two months now and there is not one sign that it is any less effective than my name brand alternatives.
So if you've been waiting to take the leap it can't get any easier or more cost effective than this.
Ridiculously Easy Laundry Detergent Recipe
- 6 tablespoons washing soda. I use Arm & Hammer. For those of you okay with Borax you can use 3 tablespoons of each.
- 3 tablespoons Dr. Bronner's Liquid Castile Soap. I like the lavender scented however unscented will do the job just as well and you can simply add a few drops of your favorite essential oils. Dr. Bronner's doesn't use synthetic fragrances so no worries there if steering clear of those nasty hormone disrupting chemicals is a priority.
- 4 cups boiling water
- Cold water
Yields 1 Gallon
- Pour two cups of the boiling water in your 1-gallon jug.
- Add the washing soda. If you're using Borax combine the two beforehand, mix well and pour into your container.
- Add liquid soap.
- Shake well.
- Pour in remaining two cups of boiling water
- Shake well to thoroughly combine and dissolve.
- Fill rest of container up with cold water.
- Allow suds to subside and fill with more cold water.
- Place spout back into your jug. First time I made this I didn't pay attention when I put the spout back in and did so facing the wrong direction. I was stuck since they are so difficult to remove when soapy wet! So word to the wise, be mindful when reinserting it so that it pours as you need it to.
- Cap and you're ready to go!
I use two 1/2 gallon jugs simply because that's what I happen to have.
Helpful tips:
- Shake well before each use. Expect it to be watery and sudsy, not thick like your regular liquid detergent.
- Use 1/2 – 1 cup depending on load size. I usually use a cap full for a regular load in my HE washer.
- Can be used in regular and HE washers.
- Pour a dash of white vinegar in after the detergent for an extra boost of cleaning power. You can either pour the vinegar in the regular soap dispenser or where you would add your non-chlorine bleach. And no worries, I've never had a load of laundry come out smelling like pickles!
And the bonus? It cleans your washing machine as it does your clothes. No more heavy detergent buildup especially if you're adding vinegar. I have yet to experience a downside to making the switch. Enjoy!

Survival Log
Vera's Survival Log
It should've all gone smoothly. The plan was so simple, the only risk was the people still stuck on earth. I now sit next to Lance in the infirmary. It's all my fault.
I landed by the lab, sought out the paperwork and found it. It should've been alright. The population were still crazed but I got through fine. I shiver with the thought of anticipation. We shouldn't have gone back to Earth. We were so stupid, the whole plan was so stupid.
Once I found the notes, I tried to uncover anything else left in the lab. There wasn't much, a newspaper written about the attack, photos, a lot of useless items left here.
The communication device the League provided me chimed, making loud ringing noises. I answered and Vincent's voice spoke up, "Vera! Hurry and come back here!"
"What's going on? What happened?"
"It's the Wandering. They've come back and the ship's under attack. We need your help! Leave the papers!"
Was he crazy? The papers were the only thing worth the risk of returning to Earth and he just wants me to leave them? My eyes scanned the papers, trying to collect as much information as I could. Thirty seconds, the only amount I gave myself to search the papers.
Plant roots, animal findings, medicines for cures, this was all pointless. It's impossible. It couldn't, wouldn't be all for nothing. Why would the League send us out here to find something that didn't matter. Then it came to me.
League had no idea what we were searching for. They were that desperate. We've lost against the Wandering. It was a fat chance to start wondering the world in search of an escape plan when we should've been helping the home we so quickly left.
I sprinted out of the lab. I needed to reach the ship. If the Wandering had ambushed us, what would happen to everyone? Are they hurt? Are they fighting back? Is Lance okay? I blink tears out of my eyes. I swear to God if Lance isn't okay, I'd blame myself forever.
I reach the ship and it's chaos. I grab the blade from my pocket and start fighting aliens. Their green blood goes everywhere. I estimate about fifty are on the ship, killing members of the League. So far I'm unhurt, steady, and doing okay, although I haven't seen Lance.
I search for him, the dead lying on the floor. Memories of the attack flood into me and I'm scared. For the first time in my life I'm scared of what will happen. Scared that I'll lose Lance. Scared that I won't pull through this alive.
Another alien falls dead because of me. A good portion of them are dead and the rest try to crawl through the glass of the windows outside the ship. Vincent starts to steer the ship away from Earth, towards headquarters. Eventually we're out of the Wandering's range.
I catch my breath and start searching for Lance.
"Where is he," I ask Vincent. My mind is out of place, blood gushes from my shoulder but it's not so bad. "Where is he," I repeat.
Vincent's expression is lost. His eyes are dazed and his mouth barely tugs in motion to say the words, "He's hurt. Really bad, over there in the corner."
I rush towards Lance and the sight takes my breath away. This isn't Lance. This isn't my best friend that I've known for the past year. This is somebody else, someone who is broken. His arm twists at a strange angle and half his body is covered in blood. I try to look for something, anything to stop the bleeding but the Wandering destroyed most of what was left in the ship.
He smiles when I come to his side but he grimaces as the pain takes in the movement of his jaw. "Guess you couldn't keep me away from this fight, huh?"
Tears start to well up in my eyes. "I guess not, Lance."
"The notes weren't much help, were they?"
"No. You knew, didn't you?"
"Not exactly but I had my own theories of why we were coming to seek help on Earth. Are you injured?"
"Am I injured? Don't worry about me, you're the one who's beaten right now, Lance."
"No, I'm not beaten. I still have you."
His words create tears sliding down my cheek. He wipes one off with his hand and we wait in the corner. The dead still lie on the floor, red staining my vision. I hold Lance's side to propel him against the wall. He wants to sit up and as he does we talk.
"Just get me to the infirmary, okay," he requests.
I fall into unconsciousness besides Lance, waking to the sight of nurses rushing us to the infirmary.

16302 Conda Way
Rawlings, MD 21557, United States
Construction began on this course during the mid-1990s, but did not open until new ownership took over late in 1997 and finally opened the course in 2000. Of note is the par-3 7th hole, which features two groups of tees, one of which reports a tee-shot over water. That is followed by the very tight par-5 8th, named "Marion's Maze." The 14th is another dual-tee hole; from the back set it is a par-6 that stretches from 650 to 714 yards.
Course Details
Average Hole Difficulty
ak14 - 6/15/10
A decent course but a little over priced for what you get. Greens are usually pretty good and are pretty quick. I would rate it higher if it weren't for two holes, numbers 3, and 8. Both are par 5's and the lay out of both holes are terrible as both have terrible drainage issues where you can hit a straight fairway shot and lose your ball because it plugs in the swamp like fairway.
Pros: Very nice clubhouse, good scenery through the mountainside with viewing of wildlife (squirrels, deer, turkey) Greens usually in good condition with firm fast greens. Cons: Conditions of fairways inconsistent, during summer it drys out and become very hard, during the spring or during wet periods many holes do not drain well leaving them very swampy in spots. Bunkers are inconsistent with many rocks and dirt mixed in. The par 5's on this course with the exception on #16 really bring the course down as a whole. Many times you are not rewarded for a good shot.
Fore Sisters as a whole is an average mountain golf course with nice greens and nice scenery and with not many other options in the area for a public 18 hole course Fore Sisters is the only game in town, thus not being pushed to improve the quality of its course.
ncramsey83 - 5/28/09
This is quite possibly the worst designed course I have ever played. Holes are gimmicky to the point that it feels as though you are playing an oversized putt-putt course without the windmill. The only positives are that the greens roll true and the clubhouse is very appealing with a wrap around porch/deck that overlooks none of the course?? Staff is not overly friendly and management has driven away most of the membership with empty promises (private carts, etc.) and poor overall management of the course. Which bodes well for pace of play!!!

Alumni Reflect on Success and the Role of Emotional Intelligence
April 17, 2015
|Speakers included (from left to right) Susset Cabrera (BBA '07, MA '09), CEO and founder of Peacock Public Relations; Stephanie Aoun (BBA '08, MBA '11), vice president of Goldman Sachs; Sylvia Arbesu (BBA '97), regional director of operations for Starbucks; and Beatriz Llorente (BBA '98), attorney at law, Offices of Beatriz A. Llorente, P.A. Company.
Criminal defense attorney Beatriz "Betty" Llorente (BBA '98) confides in her clients that her own father spent time in federal prison so that they know she understands their questions and fears. In the courtroom, she emotionally connects with jurors who will decide her client's fate. She believes this skill of knowing how to immediately connect with people is the key to her success. "My LSAT scores were a disaster and I passed the Bar eventually, but I had a job when I graduated because of my emotional intelligence," she said.
Llorente, along with three other business leaders and School of Business alumna, spent an April evening sharing tips with about 100 of the School's students, prospective students and alumni on how to use emotional intelligence to relate to clients and colleagues, driving their success in the workplace.
So what exactly is this much sought-after quality?
"Emotional intelligence is your ability to manage cues and the emotional information you receive," explained moderator Sheryl Alonso, management lecturer and academic director of the School's Johnson A. Edosomwan Leadership Institute.
It's comprised of five dimensions: self-awareness, self-management, self-motivation, empathy and social skills.
Susset Cabrera (BBA '07, MA '09), CEO and founder of Peacock Public Relations, remembers struggling with her self-confidence when she first launched her company. "I lived in a bubble at UM, where nobody would do sneaky things behind my back," she said. "That was a wakeup call when I entered the real world. It took me awhile to build up my tough skin. I keep going and believe in myself."
It's also important to actively listen to people and understand their motivations, said Sylvia Arbesu (BBA '97), regional director of operations for Starbucks. She counseled the audience to make accommodations when necessary. "When there's an emergency, you can call them because you've been there for them," she said.
Stephanie Aoun (BBA '08, MBA '11), vice president of Goldman Sachs, not only relies on emotional intelligence to understand her billion-dollar clients and the businesses they run but to work within the culture of her company to build relationships internally.
In fact, Aoun gives so-called EI so much credence that she believes, beyond a certain threshold, it's more important than IQ. "At the end of the day, if you don't have that ability to communicate what you're doing, then your IQ and all of your work may be wasted," she said. "There's not a lot of opportunity out there for people who don't have the ability to connect."
Toward this end, the panelists said, they definitely gauge emotional intelligence during job interviews. "Any question a client would ask, we ask," Aoun said. "I ask how they lead in a team. I ask for instances they've had to change things." She recently hired a college basketball team captain without a strong finance background because of his excellent EI skills.
The panelists debated the idea that emotional intelligence is a teachable skill. Arbesu touted the benefits of her daughter's Montessori education, where she learns to nurture the human spirit. But Cabrera expressed skepticism. "You can't teach certain things. I've had students contact me, and they're so serious. How do you change that?"
Cabrera recounted a time she summoned her emotional intelligence to avert a crisis. When a celebrity's publicist expressed concern over working together again because of a misunderstanding about media attendance, "it was a slap in the face!" Cabrera said. "I could have easily have broken that relationship apart, but that publicist is friends with another publicist who is friends with a celebrity. I had to calm down quick because it could have been disastrous."

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
good value for money the room service was a bit long
We liked the decor, the updated bathroom, the helpful staff, the breakfast, free wifi, and a good restaurant for dinner. Didnot like to pay for parking garage.
the location in the heart of the centre we did not have a bath, only a shower, but the friends we were with had one, so apparently, there are different room types for the same price, they should at least mention this and preferably give you a choice (I would have loved a bath, after the marathon we did on Saturday!)
Customer service was A+++. They were always helpful, cheerful, courteous & informative... Rooms were lovely, and location perfect - an easy walk to train station and market, as well as being next to the main street for shopping & boutiques. This was my third stay here, and I intend it to be my destination hotel when I visit again... Nothing to dislike...
The hotel was bright and modern The situation - it was difficult to find. The restaurant was closed so we had to go looking for somewhere to eat
The staff was very helpful. Luggage was not delivered at the airport for one of our group. They stored it for us even after we had moved on with our trip through France. We couldn't have been more pleased with their help. We would recommend this hotel to anyone.
The studio room was very nice, the staff were very friendly and the food was excellent!
The hotel was easy to find. Parking facilities good. Although this was on Nov.1., i.e. holiday in France with basically the whole city closed down, the hotel resturant was open and served excellent food.
friendly staff and clean and nic ehotel
the possibility of a guarded parking the possibility to have two single beds instead of just a double one
The bed was very comfortable and a very good shower. Our room did stink of cigarette smoke when we arrived. We aired it as much as we could and sprayed it with perfume, but in this respect it was fairly unpleseant.
good location, near Lyon
We like this hotel very much, the rooms are big. There is free coffee and tea in the room.
The hotel was clean and had a great restaurant as well the staff were very helpful.
next to the motorway and quiet
Good location. Easy access to freeways. Good restaurant. Very poor wireless Internet signal. Almost too low to be usable.
friendly helpful staff
We used this hotel as a stopover. As such it served us well. No negative points therefore but for a longer stay or a more touristic one I would likely choose a hotel closer to or in the center of Lyon.
The accomodation was great .. room comfortable, dryer in the bathroom ... the restaurant was very good , the fish was cooked to perfection ... appreciate the light dishes presented in the menu
An overnight stop driving to the Cote D'Azure was an unexpected highpoint of our holiday. Really good food and a comfortable room for myself, my wife and our 2 children.
location to many shops/restaurant and businesses no
the staff were excellent and made us feel v at home. We arrived with a small baby and couldn't take advantage of their 2 star michelin restaurant. They offered a babysitter and then when we declined organised for us to have some of their amazing food from the restaurant as room service. My only comment on breakfast is at 25 euros a head they should include some hot dish eg eggs, bacon etc everything was cold and we were their in Nov. However the croissants, pain au chocolate were home made and delicious
sauna and steam room
staff very Helpful, Very Clean, very comfortable bed,Luxury Hotel
Quiet room No possibility to have dinner outside
There was nothing that I liked about this hotel and therefore this section could remain blank. No restaurant on sunday evening. If this hotel has been refurbished as claimed then think again.
conveniently located
the room was very cool (thanks to the airco!). because of that you get a good night rest.
Convenient location Shower didn't work properly and was very inconvenient
Nice and friendly staff. Close to the autoroute. Free parking space within the premisses. Little terrace in front of the building, annex to the restaurant. Keep in mind that this is a pass through hotel, located outside the city centre.
The personal of reception
Generally what I expected but the three buffet menu was very good. I would recommend Balladins again.
Pleasant place for an overnight stay. Within reasonable walking distance of interesting town with choice of restaurants.
There was an on site restaurant which was great No Tea/Coffee making facillities in our room.
The Chef. Difficult to find.
The reception people were very helpful. The nice place and the charm of the well-designed hotel is damaged by the negligence of the (invisible) service. Dirty dishes in a new allocated room or waiting days on top of the fridge in the corridor, which seamed not being cleaned for a while, the lack of any concept for the breakfast and no way to have a nice coffee break on the beautiful terrace prevented us from testing the quality of the kitchen. Dommage!
Beautiful site. Friendly staff. Modern and humoresque environment,.
Very friendly staff, nice interior & exterior design. Magnificent view over the city of Lyon was a nice bonus.
Helpful staff at the reception. Cheerful and inventive decoration of restaurant area, makes the room with it's excellent view very comfortable. Possibly this is rather common in France, but with a shower curtain in the bathroom, the room would have been perfectly equipped.
Not much at all really. The room where the bar was situated was quite pleasant. The rooms had seen better days. They were too small with little comfort.
We only arrived at 3am and wanted to sleep. We had the "Do Not Disturb" sign on our door and at 9am the cleaning woman came in our room waking us all. It was impossible to go back to sleep and we were very upset!
The desk receptionists spoke English and were polite and helpful. There was some trouble with keeping the supplies for breakfast replenished for patrons. We had to ask several times for more ham and butter to be set out, after it had run out.
open 24 hours ideal for through traffic French only TV. Economy on space
Staff was very nice. When I arrived late. the room still keep for me. The issue was the staff did not answer phone from ovesea in the late night. the phone system did not pick up and transfer the phone to room. They is very bad for business. The other is the hotel did not offer internet and email services. it is very outdated. They can have internet booking system. why they don't give customers internet servises? even they can charge small fee. some France hotel provide the free wireless internet services. The third is the location is difficult to find for first traveler. the front hotel sign is not clear and not lighed in the night. If I did not have GPS, I can not find this hotel.
easy to find and close to the motorways
Price, convenient location, in-hotel restaurant, helpful staff limited parking, particularly on arrival

Global Positioning Satellite or GPS devices are everywhere nowadays, from handheld units for hikers to more sophisticated systems for ships at sea. But before GPS there was Long Range Navigation or LORAN, a system based on radio signals. Houston Public Radio's Rod Rice reports that the Coast Guard is trying to decide what the future holds for LORAN.
The government has three options, keep LORAN as it is, eliminate it or upgrade it to an enhanced system that could be a back-up for GPS. First, a LORAN primer from the Coast Guards Angela McArdle.
"It's a terrestrial based navigation system that uses low frequency radio transmissions from radio towers that are located around the United States and around the world. It uses the radio signals from three or more air towers to locate a vessel or aircraft."
It was first used in the Second World War and the current system, called LORAN-C goes back to the '70's. LORAN is considered to be accurate to within a quarter of a mile. Houstonian Bill Fink is pilot and a recreational boater who made the switch to G-P-S because it is more accurate, cheaper and easier to use. Fink says it also does more than just fix a position.
"They get a latitude and a longitude and that doesn't tell 'em anything. They've got to have a map. The LORAN did not provide the mapping option you had to have another piece of paper in front of you to tell you where you are with LORAN."
The Coast Guard's McArdle says one option for LORAN is to upgrade it to enhanced LORAN.
"It's quite a different system and it would require a new devise, so people in industry and any one else who wishes to use it invest in another devise."
Authorities want to know what professional and recreational mariners think about LORAN.
"We are looking for public comment. We want to hear from folks as to whether they use LORAN, what could be done to improve it and if it's something that we need to consider either changing or discontinuing."
Bill Fink says as far as he's concerned….
"It's my opinion that it would not be a significant loss to shut down the LORAN's system."
Fink says the only argument to keep LORAN would be as a back-up to GPS, but the problem there is that few boaters even have LORAN equipment these days.
The Coast Guard will be accepting public comments on LORAN until February 7th. You'll find a link at KUHF.org.

Winston-Salem Entertainment-Sports Complex •
HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS BRING NEW TOUR TO Greensboro AND WINSTON-SALEMON THE HEELS OF SETTING NINE GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ RECORDS
Tickets are on sale now to see Globetrotters at Greensboro Coliseum & LJVM
As the Harlem Globetrotters prepare to bring their 2017 World Tour to LJVM Coliseum in Winston-Salem on Friday, March 24, at 7 p.m., and Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro on Sunday, March 26, at 3 p.m., the iconic team took a timeout for Guinness World Records Day. Only one year after setting seven official Guinness World Records titles, the Globetrotters broke a single-day total of nine records this year, including the longest basketball hook-shot.
VIDEO FOR BROADCAST MEDIA: https://youtu.be/10h5ICl25wA(courtesy Harlem Globetrotters)
VIDEO TO SHARE: Media can also embed and share the Globetrotters' video on social media. A condensed highlight reel went live minutes ago at www.facebook.com/harlemglobetrotters.
Tickets for the Winston-Salem game start at $22 and are now available at harlemglobetrotters.com, ticketmaster.com, the Bridger Field House box office, or by phone at 800-745-3000. Tickets for the show in Greensboro start at $23 and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com, the Greensboro Coliseum box office, or by phone at 800-745-3000.Information on group and scout tickets can also be found at harlemglobetrotters.com.
The records were broken at the AT&T Center, home of the San Antonio Spurs, during the 12th annual Guinness World Records Day, a global celebration of record breaking launched to celebrate the day the Guinness World Records book sold its 100 millionth copy. Since 2000, the Globetrotters now own 15 current Guinness World Records.
"We are the original trick shot artists, so it is great to reclaim our records and reestablish our dominance," said Harlem Globetrotters star Big Easy Lofton. "We have been training hard so to have a day where we push the limits and try some fun yet challenging shots, is pretty cool. I mean, how many people can say they're a Guinness World Records title holder? We can't wait to put smiles on people's faces as we demonstrate our skills and talents on the upcoming world tour."
Among the nine Guinness World Records titles which were set by the Globetrotters, four of them reclaimed records that were originally held by the team and then broken by Dude Perfect. The Globetrotters reclaimed the records of longest basketball hook shot, longest basketball shot blindfolded, most basketball 3-pointers made by a pair in one minute, and longest blindfolded basketball hook shot.
Here's a full look at the records set by the Globetrotters:
· Longest basketball hook shot – Big Easy Lofton (72 feet, 6.25 inches)
· Longest basketball shot blindfolded – Ant Atkinson (73 feet, 10 inches)
· Most basketball 3-pointers in one minute (single ball) – Ant Atkinson and Cheese Chisholm (10 each)
· Farthest basketball shot made while sitting on the court – Thunder Law (58 feet, 9.25 inches)

text: I've been writing since the age of 6, and I've wanted to be an author since then as well. Plans often go off-track though, but I'm trying to get back on track now. I've started many novels but not finished them, so this year I'm going to try to finish my first novel ever. No matter if it might not be the best thing I've ever written, I am just determined to finish one. I mostly post on FictionPress. I have stories on there that make me cringe, but if anyone's interested, feel free to check them out. My username there is dear-llama as well. I'm looking for critique partners, so if you're interested, please drop me a message. :) Right now I mostly write romance or YA stories. I have a life-long affair with detective novels though. I would write one if I could. Maybe someday.

French animators Jean-Loup Felicioli and Alain Gagnol directed this comedy-drama in which a family discovers their house pet is living a surprising double life. Zoe (voice of Oriane Zani) is a seven-year-old girl traumatized by the death of her father, a police detective who was on the trail of Victor Costa (voice of Jean Benguigui), a powerful underworld boss. Ever since the passing of her father, Zoe has been mute, and her mother Jeanne (voice of Dominique Blanc), also a detective, has been working hard to track down Costa and the killers and bring them to justice. However, it turns out a criminal is hiding right under their noses -- while Zoe sleeps, her beloved pet cat Dino slips out of the house at night and serves as a companion and assistant to Nico (voice of Bruno Salomone), a suave burglar who has robbed some of the wealthiest and most elegant homes in Paris. One night, Zoe follows Dino as he spends the night on the town, and as she crosses paths with Nico, she finds herself in the clutches of a handful of ruthless gangsters. Une Vie De Chat (aka A Cat in Paris) received an Academy Award nomination in 2012 as Best Animated Feature. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
