Just over 24 hours after arriving in Bloomington for his official visit, 2013 New Hampton Prep (NH) forward Noah Vonleh decided he'd seen enough to make a decision. So Vonleh, who made his first official visit with his mother, committed to the Hoosiers on Saturday night. His high school coach, Pete Hutchins, confirmed the news to Inside the Hall late Saturday night in a text message. He's the sixth verbal commitment in the 2013 class for the Hoosiers and the No. 8 prospect nationally according to ESPN.com. Vonleh had also been considering Connecticut, Georgetown, North Carolina, Ohio State and Syracuse after deciding to reclassify on Sept. 24. The 6-foot-8 forward attended IU's season opening win over Bryant on Friday night and drew chants of "We want Noah," from a soldout Assembly Hall crowd. The five-star forward told ESPN.com that the intensity of IU's pursuit was a major factor in his decision. "From day one, Indiana has been recruiting me the hardest," Vonleh told Adam Finkelst...

Passion's Poison
Twists and turns down an infinite fork road,
Choices chaotically confronting you, increasing your load,
A load one must bare, a load one must cart,
Tempting to choose all roads at once, will tear you apart.
Such is the road of life,
But within that life, part of these roads are strife,
Fundamental, is such a fashion,
That to no exception, is a road of passion.
A balanced beam, the see-saw of morals,
Black and white, fire and light and your heart that quarrels,
To recognise and celebrate benevolent beauty and lasting love,
Or to fall prey to the cheapening and disregard of that sent from above.
A blurry line borders the fates,
Of a heart torn in a slashing of debates,
"Where does this part I play stand?"
"Will my actions leave hearts as mine from my hand?"
Another dimension to the fray,
Some choices you know are astray,
But you simply must follow,
Because otherwise your chest will be hollow.
To live with unpermitted love, the heart will explode,
The torture is needing to love to lighten the load,
But knowing that it doesn't belong in that place,
Leaves the heart strangled by lace...

Great advice Grant!
Around this time of year I have heard countless advice on setting goals. and even though goal setting is good and all, very rarely have I heard those same people talk about taking massive action towards those goals.
This year I am taking your advice, "Determine what you want to be known for in life and pursue that objective with everything that is within you (spirit and mindset) by taking massive action towards those goals." That is exactly what I am going to do this year. No time for games! For me it is all about action!
Outstanding wisdom…….I love this stuff, I have changed my business by applying Grant's principles…..Fantastic
Holy Mother, this is amazing advice. Life changing! Thanks Mr. Cardone.
Amazing advice; bigger goals, bigger results! Can't wait to go crazy!
Grant, my man! This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. I am one of the drones of the modern workforce. I make good money and support my family but I am miserable. I need to work on something so big I get scared at night. I love those nights!! Cheers my man.
Just finished "Closer's Survival Guide" gonna make this year awesome with knowledge from GC
Great to hear this right now! I can apply this and expand more.
Lots of love to you, Elena and the girls!!
Grant, what advice would you tell me to succeed when i don't have power base in the USA to succeed?
Awesome read! Already started working on some BIG goals that make others think I'm crazy :) I'm shooting for the stars and will settle for nothing less than making it to the moon.
Great read for the start of the year! Thanks Grant I pass is on and posit it on my FB.
Awesome! going to speak to a charter high school today. Will use this in my discussion about aligning your passion with purpose! It will change their world!
Boom! Time to focus and pursue my dreams with the tenacity of a "…hungry dog on the back of meat truck that hasn't eaten for a week"!

Welcome to our relaxing and peaceful New Hampshire Lake House! A beautiful lakefront location overlooking Baptist Pond, complete with an island. Sit on the deck while you watch and listen to the loons as they swim about the pond. Or cast your fishing line while paddling out to explore the island.
If it's the winter season you prefer, there's great skiing and snowboarding at nearby Mt. Sunapee Ski Resort. XC skiing is the specialty at NORSK Cross Country Ski in the nearby college town of New London. Or, just cuddle up with a good book next to the woodstove!
Whichever season you prefer, this is the perfect getaway spot to relax and unwind with family and friends.
Keywords: House
A great place to unwind and relax. Loads of room with the pond right outside the back door. A nice quiet road with no traffic to speak of, plus a view of the stars that is staggering. Our family has been vacationing here since 97' and hope to continue the tradition for years.
The cottage was lovely, with great views of the pond from practically every room. Several fun hikes are nearby. An ideal place for peace and quiet, but still convenient for Sunapee and New London. We had a fantastic time, and would love to return.
We rented the house for 3 days during February break and had the best time! We have three young kids and there was plenty of room for all. The house is on a pretty little lake, and we are planning to come back in the summer for some more days.
We made a fun sledding hill next to the cottage, ending on the lake. The kids had a blast and we did not have to go anywhere. Dog friendly as well, and the street does not get too much traffic. It is a bit close to the highway and you can hear the trucks in the still of the night, but this was not really an issue for any of us.
One part of the house is heated by a large wood stove, and it took some time figuring out the correct burn settings to keep the temp below 80, but it is well set up and more than adequate to heat the area.
Great spot and an easy rental experience, close to Sunapee, and I'm sure it is awesome in the summer as well. Will definitely go back.
Had a wonderful time at this little get a way. We endured hurricane Irene with no problem. We were even allowed to move in a day early, so that we would not have to travel during the hurricane. We lost power for a few hours but that was minor to us. The lake was beautiful for swimming. The cottage was clean and comfortable. We would love to come again.
The lake house in the winter is a wonderful place to hang out and play. It is close to both Ragged Mountain and Sunapee for great family skiing trips. Our kids always had fun skating or playing hockey on the lake right outside the house or even hiking out to the island or ice fishing. The house is also close to the the Vermont border too so that you can venture off to Vermont for some great skiing as well. This area of NH has much to offer if you are willing to explore. Great resturants and shopping. The house itself is very clean and well equiped and the owners keep it plowed well. Linda was wonderful to work with and was quick to solve any problems should something arise. We highly recommend this house for winter fun.
My family has been to this cottage many times and we consider this our summer vacation spot. We always enjoy ourselves immensely and as soon as we leave we count down the months until we come back. The lake is incredible with great sunsets and even better sunrises. The boats are a plus and allows "the boys" to do some of the best fishing ever. We always take a trip out to the island for a campfire and smores. It is a relaxing locaton with plenty of ammenities that are modern. It sleeps 6 comfortably has a great kitchen, beautiful porch to read a book, and a wood stove on chilly nights. My family and I wish we had more time to go up during the fall/winter to enjoy the foliage and sking nearby. My family enjoys the New Hampshire lake house and counts down til we go there again.

New homes along the Crossrail route
- © Matt Writtle
Thousands more new homes at Royal Arsenal Riverside in Woolwich
Architect Sir Terry Farrell has revealed a masterplan for 99-acre Old Oak Common, lying north of Wormwood Scrubs and Westway. Criss-crossed by rail lines, much of the land is owned by public sector bodies and is disused.
"Few people know where Old Oak is or realise it's less than three miles from Oxford Street," he says. "It is the next Stratford and Canary Wharf combined but on the west side of London and will have accessibility to airports, the Channel ports, provincial cities and to all parts of metropolitan London."
As many as 12,000 new homes and an eye-watering 20 million sq ft of new office and commercial space will be included in the project.

David Cameron's announcement of a crackdown on excessive City bonuses is a carefully calibrated response to public anger with bankers. Top packages appear impervious to the economic gloom: one recent survey found that FTSE 100 directors' earnings had increased by almost half in the past year, to an annual average of £2.7 million. Not only does such largesse enrage a public bearing the brunt of wage freezes, high inflation and swingeing spending cuts; it has also been a source of tension in the Coalition, with Business Secretary Vince Cable, especially, agitating for tougher action.
Yet the PM has not proposed any new measures other than vague commitments to greater transparency and to strengthening shareholders' power. He is right to suggest that where remuneration packages are excessive, the solution is for shareholders to take action. But they can already do so; most do not, accepting companies' argument that they need to pay high salaries and bonuses to attract talent. This is the real difficulty for the City, hiring in a fiercely competitive international environment.
None of this will be an easy circle for the Coalition to square in 2012. Mr Cameron today conceded that we face a "testing year": that is one way of describing an outlook where even the Government's own forecasts are for an essentially flat economy, with total growth lower than last year. Even that assumes the crisis in the eurozone does not boil over. This week has brought alarming news on the state of some banks, notably in Italy, with the signs increasing of a tightening credit crunch. The best we can hope is that Europe's banks and governments somehow muddle through their debt crisis - or else public rage with the bankers and the disasters they have brought will eclipse arguments about transparency in executive pay.
Hammersmith jam
Boris Johnson's announcement that he is to take personal charge of the problems caused by the closure of Hammersmith flyover is not before time. The flyover, carrying the A4 from central London towards the M4 and Heathrow, has been closed since before Christmas for work to tackle corrosion to cables, causing chaos on one of the capital's busiest arterial routes.
Now the hope is that it will be able to re-open partially within two weeks, although some disruption could continue for months. We will hold the Mayor to his promise. But we also need to know how the problem, caused by salt water from winter gritting, got to this stage without being noticed. Why was it not spotted in earlier inspections? The closure is a serious problem for businesses and travellers: fixing it and making sure it does not happen again must be a top priority for the Mayor.
Westminster's folly
Westminster council's concession that drivers who park on new double yellow lines from next week will get a fortnight's grace makes no difference to the substance of its cynical move. The council seems not to care that its decision to kill the equivalent of more than 1,000 parking spaces by converting single to double yellow lines - a figure council bosses dispute - goes against the spirit of a court order against its last plan to introduce off-peak parking fees. It is not taking seriously the threat to businesses posed by the new double-yellows. Postponing fines by two weeks - and forgoing a fortnight's income from them, the real reason for this move - makes no difference to the businesses and night-time workers who will be hit by the move. Westminster council's latest folly is an insult to Londoners.Reuse content

EURUSD Daily Forecast: April 07
EURUSD Forecast
The EURUSD finally made a breakout above the range area after two weeks of consolidation as you can see on my h4 chart below. This fact should continue the major bullish scenario targeting 1.4400 – 1.4500 area this week. On the downside, immediate support at 1.4281/50. Another consistent move and daily close below that support level would lead us back to neutral zone, even could create a false breakout bearish scenario testing 1.4150 – 1.4035 support area.

I buy my practice ammo at Walmart. Even though their prices have gone up recently they still beat the prices that I can find online. Academy Sports also has good prices (at times better than Walmart) but the closest one to me is about 40 miles. If their prices go up then I will be shopping the net.
For defensive ammo I just purchase that at my local gun shop. I don't go through enough of that to make a difference. I just fire enough to make sure that it feeds correctly and is accurate enough for defense.
Now, I'm looking into reloading. The best prices (Walmart and online) are just going up with no apparent end in site. I like to shoot too much to keep paying these prices so reloading seems to be a good option. I don't have any intention of reloading my defensive ammo though. I'll leave that to the manufacturers.

The Court of Appeal has ruled Lord Justice Evans ineligible to hear a case brought by more than 3,000 South African miners after Davies Arnold Cooper filed an application to have him taken off the case.
Lawyers see his disqualification as a direct repercussion from the embarrassment caused to the judiciary by Lord Hoffmann's failure to declare an interest during extradition hearings into Chile's former dictator Augusto Pinochet.
Lord Justice Evans has been disqualified from sitting on the case after Davies Arnold Cooper, solicitors for the defendant, English mining company Cape, objected to his appointment.
Lord Justice Evans, who presided over a Court of Appeal hearing last year which gave five miners jurisdiction to bring their case in England, volunteered to hear a second appeal on the same matter brought by the rest of the claimants.
He then allocated the case to himself without consulting the Lord Justice of the Queen's Bench Division.
Lord Justice Evans, a senior Court of Appeal judge, is not accused of concealing his interests.
Last week, Lord Justice Morritt, presiding in the Court of Appeal, disqualified Lord Justice Evans, without giving reasons, except to say it was "sensible" to start afresh with another judge.
The miners, advised by Leigh Day & Co and Greater Manchester firm John Pickering & Partners, are seeking compensation for asbestos-related diseases allegedly contracted as a consequence of working for Cape.
Martyn Day, senior partner at Leigh Day & Co, which represents 2,000 of the miners, says: "It is quite clear that the courts are going to be ultra-sensitive to the allocation of judges in light of what happened to Hoffmann.
"It is the first time in my career that I have seen an application to have a judge taken out of a case and I think that what we are seeing is the beginning of the repercussions and implications of Hoffmann.
"We are now going to see this happen more often."
The High Court rejected the case of the 3,000 miners, criticising Leigh Day for failing to make clear the number of potential claimants at the first hearing.
The miners' appeal against that decision will be heard on 5 and 6 October. Several of the miners have already died.

Are you looking for something a bit different on TV for Saturday nights? Are you sick of audition shows in which mildly talented singers stand on stage and belt out "You Got the Love" at four chair-backs or (worse) David Walliams? Do you sometimes wonder if there's anything more interesting happening on Planet TV than Simon Cowell telling a palpitating septuagenarian chanteuse, "You're a little tiger, aren't you?"
Try Smash on Sky Atlantic. Steven Spielberg has been working on it for three years and executive-produced the pilot, which cost a reported $7.5m. The first scene is an audition, at which a pretty girl in a sparkly blue frock is singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Just as you think you've tuned into The Voice, a mobile phone rings and the audition director chats to a friend while flapping a hand at the appalled ingénue and saying, "That was fine. You can go."
Instantly, we're pitched into the world of Broadway – the passion, the tears, the tits, the bitching, the hot lights, the hot sex, the competition, the waistcoated piano man, the jazz hands, the five-six-seven-eight-and-twirl – as we follow a gang of flappy egoists striving to launch a new musical on the life of Marilyn Monroe.
The 15-part series, created by Theresa Rebeck, comes at you like the Hot Box Girls in Guys and Dolls. It embraces all the clichés of musical theatre like old friends. "Being in the chorus is like being a nobody," laments busty trouper Ivy Lynn, still hoofing in ostrich feathers after 10 years. "I'll see you in court!" grates tough-bunny producer Eileen (Anjelica Houston) to her husband, who's been (you'll never guess) shagging starlets. "Sometimes dreams are hard," complains dewy-eyed Karen from Iowa to her uncomprehending parents. "I felt happy just being backstage," breathes Ellis, a creepy young hanger-on, "It felt like – home."
This showbiz schlock sounded tired around the time of Broadway Melodies in 1936. It sounds positively weird when bandied about in contemporary New York, where an audition filmed on a smartphone can be all over the web in hours. Luckily, to keep us grounded amid all the emoting, we get Debra Messing, from Will and Grace, at the centre of the action. A fine comic actress, she plays Julia, who's trying to write the Marilyn musical with her gay composer chum, Tom. Tom is full of camp outrage and puts his head on one side to suggest cute horniness – in other words, channelling Jack from Will and Grace, circa 1998.
The show boasts two British actors, Raza Jaffrey as Dev, an improbably high-flying Brit at the mayor's office who's courting Karen, the Iowa ingénue; and Jack Davenport as the maverick, Cockney-sparrer director who's (incredibly) brought in to drill an American cast in evoking the life of an American idol.
There was one excellent baseball-themed dance routine and a nice conceit of having the rival girls sing while emerging from the Times Square subway, past oblivious passers-by. But whether we'll be able to stand 14 more weeks of this old-fashioned hokum, I doubt. (Sob!) But perhaps I've been too rash! (*Worried frown*) Should I give it another chance? (*Sings* "I don't know how to laahhhve him ....")
If you're still bored by your Saturday night, tune into the new Nordic crime thriller, The Bridge. The title on screen is Bron/Broen (i.e. "bridge" in Danish and Swedish): the murder investigation involves the police of both countries after a corpse is found lying on the border. With shocking literal-mindedness, the killer has slashed the victim across the middle – and the lower half not only doesn't match the upper, it's been deep-frozen for a year.
Handling police inquiries on the Swedish side is Detective Saga Noren (Sofia Helin), a tall, beautiful ice maiden in tight leather trousers. From the Danish side comes her polar opposite, Martin Rohde (Kim Bodnia), lazy, unshaven, roly-poly, flirtatious with secretaries and given to bending the rules. The writers have tried hard to give them extra "character" to distinguish them from other Scandi-cops. Martin, having just had a vasectomy, clutches his groin a lot and cannot sit down. Saga appears to be autistic. She's emotionless when confronted by a woman hurrying to get a replacement heart to her dying father. She doesn't see how presenting an official complaint against Martin might just slightly damage their relationship as partners.
But I expect you want to know about her jumpers. She doesn't have any. She wears T-shirts, which she blithely removes at her desk before wriggling into fresh ones taken from a drawer, while the men in the vicinity try not to gaze at her bra.
It's a fresh idea, to have a female cop with no insights at all into how others might feel. But then this is a superior cop show, with a running theme about communication: how Danes and Swedes struggle to understand one another's language and accents; how different age groups tell each other off for using redundant slang. The palette is all washed-out pale greens and pinks among the 40 shades of Scandinavian beige, classily photographed by Jorgen Johanssen. And the plot is genuinely exciting. The first episode ended on a nail-biter, as an unpopular journalist found himself imprisoned in his car with the windscreen wired to a ticking bomb, while the glacial Saga grilled him by phone about his religious beliefs. I may have to come back for more, if only to establish just how many T-shirts Ms Noren keeps in that drawer.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Make Your Own Gear › Need to make a Powder Shaker
May 23, 2014 at 4:13 pm #1317146
I've been carrying blister powder in a poly clamshell container (guessing 1/2 oz) commonly available at REI. Short, stubby container .5" high and 1.5" wide, with attached snap-on-off lid. Problem is, I often have to apply powder in wind, which is challenging. Open that wide lid up and the powder blows away. Wish I had more of a salt-shaker approach, where I could shake powder directly onto feet and socks. Not aware of anything on the market so figure it's a MYOG project. What I'd like:
1/2-3/4 oz capacity
A shaker lid with small holes – pry it off to refill
A lid lid with no holes that seals it all up.
Does this ring any bells, seen anything like this, or can you think of a way to make it?May 23, 2014 at 4:37 pm #2105511

Have you ever seen those tiny salt and pepper shakers made for travel or camping? What you're describing sounds very similar.
Here's an example.
I've seen a number of variations on this basic design in stores that sell travel accessories.May 23, 2014 at 4:57 pm #2105517

maybe you could use the lid of a spice container and adapt it to a plastic bottle of the required size.
For example this works :
May 23, 2014 at 6:13 pm #2105538
Small size is important, around .5 oz. Want to carry in a hip belt pocket. Most spice containers I see are around 2 oz.
> Here's an example. Salt and Pepper Shaker.
That looks to be a good size. I didn't know it existed. Thanks.May 23, 2014 at 7:44 pm #2105564

my suggestion was about adapting the lid of a spice container to a suitable smaller (or larger…) one.
For example my lid happens to screw on a 2 L milk container.
So I cut the thread of that bottle, inserted that inside the Glad bag and screwed the spice lid on top of it .
To finish I would have to just make a hole in that Glad bag.
If the fit is not exact you could put a bit of glue around the outside of the felale (milk bottle ) thread and some inside the spice shaker lid.May 23, 2014 at 9:51 pm #2105585
That's clever. I never would have thought of that. Thanks!May 24, 2014 at 6:00 pm #2105725

I keep all of my McCormick spice bottles for various uses. The turmeric mini plastic bottle might be up your alley. Different spices have different hole diameters, next time you are at the grocery store check the spice aisle and see which one might work. You could always pour the spice in to a small ziplock to use at home. (I buy a few bottles of water every year just for the bottle, I am sure many here do the same thing too. Might as well add spices to he list :) ) . Even if it wouldn't work for your foot powder, still something to keep in mind for other uses.
I like the plastic bag approach above. I had seen something similar done, but with the top of a water bottle to make a homemade platy style thing, but for dry goods like flour or sugar.May 25, 2014 at 1:29 am #2105761

Salt shaker, cut down with milk cap tightly fitted in end and then glued or taped. Pry the lid or push bottom out using screw driver through the hole in lid. Weight = 10 grams.May 26, 2014 at 9:28 am #2105977
That's it, Daniel. Thanks for pointing the way.May 26, 2014 at 1:48 pm #2106026

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
When the 610 was first launched, there was an issue with the charging the unit, as detailed below:
I believe this was apparently solved by a firmware update. I'm having the exact same problems now, watch is only a few months old. Initially it shut down. I followed the master reset instructions (took a few attempts as there was barely any juice). After a lot of faffing around, I went to bed with 60% battery last night, up at 05:00 for my run and lo and behold, the battery went flat when "locating satellites". Plugged it in when I got home, and it displayed 45% battery charge, but is now reverse charging.
Laptop or wall mount, it is reverse charging. Anybody else recently had the issue? The forum search above dates back a couple of years...
Mine has had the reverse charging issues at various times and even on occasion just refused to take any charge. In my case the problem seem to be caused by a poor connection between the cradle and the watch. Have a look at the cradle and at the watch and check the metal parts are clean and unobstructed.
People online have suggested various ways of keeping them clean, personally I just quickly swish the back of the watch under a tap after every run to rinse any sweat out, this has pretty much 'solved' the problem for me.
Hi. alex
I have a 610 love it but occasionally it doesn't want to charge and is really fussy on it's charger, With me I think it's down to dirt / sweat. I'm quite a sweaty / salty runner and I find i have to clean the connection on the watch and dock, I use a pin to dig out any crap around the connector on the back of the watch and then use a tissue dabbed in white spirits to wipe the connectors clean.
Find i'm doing this every two or three months.
I haven't had the reverse charging issue but I was having mega problems with the battery simply not lasting as long as it should do - making me believe that it wasn't receiving or retaining charge properly.
Either way, it was still in warranty and I must say Garmin were excellent. No quibble they got me to send mine into them and sent me a new one. All in all only took six days from sending mine in to receiving a new one.
If your watch is in warranty, get straight onto them. Even if it isn't, they should try and help you any way they can.
Good lucj
Thanks for the replies guys. It seems to have sorted itself out the last week or so, but anymore issues it will be going back.

Something tells us you want to see this kickboxer get KOd and do a backwards somersault out of the ring
Why is kickboxing called kickboxing, but boxing isn't called 'punchboxing?' Why is it called boxing at all? For you Europeans out there, the day after Christmas is called Boxing Day, but it's just another day for all of you guys to get sloshed in the name of a holiday. I'm sure there's an explanation for all of this. If I were a boxing expert then I could quote some ancient trainer that invented the sport, probably out of respect for enclosed geometrical containers.
We're typeboxers over here at MiddleEasy. Every day we get a hefty amount of training done in the name of perfecting the sport. However in all the years MiddleEasy has been in existence, we've never pulled an accidental back somersault like this kickboxer in this video.

Book 1 of 5. Her Midnight Ride Omnibus now available with all five stories plus bonus story.
Greg walks into the bar on Janelle's night out and it's lust at first sight. She never thought she'd feel like that about a white guy, but sexy biker Greg isn't like any of the men she's met before.
Unfortunately, one of her past conquests just won't leave her alone. When she puts Errol down so she can hook up with Greg, he vows to get his revenge.
Back at Greg's place, there are secrets in the air, but once they get in the bedroom Janelle's too busy to worry about what she doesn't know.
Will disapproving friends and Errol's temper mean it's just a one-night stand, or will Janelle find a way to see Greg again?
This short story is roughly 8,700 words long and is not intended for readers under the age of eighteen.
"I haven't seen you in here before."
"You mean, 'what's a white guy like you doing in here?'"
I felt a little awkward, but he shot me a teasing smile and I grinned back. "Okay. What are you doing in here?"
"Killing time till my lift arrives."
"My bike's not at its best." He patted his helmet. "I didn't want to carry on riding it and risk an accident, so my friend's coming to pick me up."
"Oh." My fantasy of riding off into the sunset on the back of his Harley burst into a shower of disappointment. At least he wasn't intending to drink and drive. "So you'll be off soon." Did that sound as desperate to him as it did to me?
"Maybe." He raised his eyebrows. "Maybe not."
I watched him take another sip of beer, a pleasant tickle of warmth growing in my chest. We both knew where this was going, but he seemed to enjoy dancing around it. Well, two could play that game. "Really? Why would you possibly want to hang around here?" I put my hand on my hip and leaned on the bar, doing my best attempt at cocky. H

Old Snow - A Stefan St. Juste Mystery
Nicolette stood looking through a triangle of broken glass. Positioned at a T where Furrow St. met Timmins St., this building, which had once been the office of a successful newspaper, had a good view of the entire street below. The grey cloud cover that blanketed the city almost all winter matched the dirty grey of the aged concrete buildings.
Old snow gathered in corners and leftover flakes from that morning blew about like the white dust in an abandoned house. A beggar, wrapped in layers of rags, made his or her slow way down one of the sidewalks. Other than that, the street was empty. The beggar reminded Nicolette of the mummies she had seen pictures of in a book she had when she was a child. And this city was his tomb. It was a tomb for many people. She thought of the Graveyard Sector and shuddered a little. You didn't go there unless you were dying and had no one to care for you.
A shiny red car turned onto the street at the far end and drove towards her. That was a surprise. Few people nowadays were wealthy enough to own, let alone drive, a car like that. And it looked in good condition too. Maybe it was someone from the Burbs? The car stopped in front of 121 Furrow St. and a tall, well dressed man with a briefcase got out.
Nicolette abandoned her position and ran back through the abandoned office and down three flights of stairs. She pushed out of the glass doors and pounded down Timmins St., dodging into an alley that led her up to the back entrance of 121 Furrow St. It felt good to run. It always did. Stefan had once asked her why she ran everywhere, even when there was no hurry. The answer to his question had popped into her mind when she responded, "It's because I'm lazy. Yeah, that's it. I run because I'm lazy. The faster I get to wherever I'm going, the longer I'll have to loiter there." That had made Stefan laugh—his long, unhindered laugh that Nicolette could not resist joining.
She unlatched the metal door and entered the dimly lit hallway. She left her hat on a hook but didn't bother taking her coat off. It was almost as cold inside as out. She threaded her way quietly through the storage room. Even in the almost dark, she didn't trip on anything because it was so familiar. She remembered for a fleeting moment the first time she had been in this dark storage room. Everything had seemed so terrifying then.
Men's voices came from the front room. The visitor had a nice, medium level voice, with a slightly refined accent. Yup, definitely from the Burbs.
She tiptoed up to the door and listened through it for a moment while she quickly combed her cold fingers through her hair and attempted to pat down some of the frizzle that unavoidable sprung from her dirty-blonde curls.
"…I had to come to you," the stranger was saying "because whoever killed my cousin has been sending my sister these notes." There was the click of a briefcase opening, and the rustle of paper.
Nicolette could picture the scene perfectly in her mind: the stranger, sitting in one of the antique wooden chairs, his brief case on his lap, his gloved hands sorting through the papers. Stefan St. Juste would be sitting across the low counter from the stranger, his elbows on the table and his hands folded under his chin. He would have that pleasant listening look on his face and would nod, and 'mmm' helpfully as the customer told his tale. If the customer ever ran out of things to say, or needed prompting to go on, Stefan would always ask the perfect question that gently directed the customer to the important information. This was one of the things that made him such a great detective. Nicolette, on the other hand, would get excited and breathless, and ask so many questions that she would end up talking more than the customer, often even trying to finish their thoughts for them. Which is why she had learnt early on to let Stefan do the questioning whenever possible.
There was silence on the other side of the door while Stefan examined the notes. Nicolette pushed the door open quietly on its well-oiled hinges. The scene was exactly as she had imagined it. She saw Mister Whiskers look up at her in the reflection in one of the glass cases containing a lot of fancy keys. The detective agency doubled as a lock and key store. Mister Whiskers was a big grey tabby that Nicolette had adopted when she had found the little stray kitten some years ago. Stefan always complained about the cat and claimed that he didn't like cats, but Nicolette knew that Stefan was really quite attached to the feline.
The stranger also looked up when Nicolette came in. He had a narrow, but not unkind, clean-shaven face. His dark brown eyes were framed by thick lashes and he had short thick, straight dark hair. He looked to be about twenty five, maybe younger. Worry creased his forehead.
Nicolette smiled and made her entrance. She was ever the awkward one, with her lanky limbs. She offered him her hand, partly hidden in a well-worn hobo glove, and said, "Hi, I'm Nicolette. I'm his assistant." She gestured to Stefan with her elbow, then found herself a stool to sit on.
Once he had adjusted to her presence, the stranger turned back to Stefan and asked, "what do you make of the notes?"
Stefan spread them out on the table. Newspaper cuttings were glued in careful lines on a piece of white printer paper.
"Times New Romans typeset, font: size ten. Could be almost any old newspaper. Whoever put this together cares about neatness. This one reads, 'Your cousin didn't have to die. You don't either.' The second one," he shuffled the papers. Nicolette knew that Stefan was reading them aloud for her sake. The customer clearly had the notes memorized, as proven by the slight movements of his lips as Stefan read. "…reads: 'They say that freezing to death is a pleasant way to die. Once you get over the cold part, you feel warm and sleepy.'" Stefan stopped and looked up at the customer. "There are only two notes."
"I will not let whoever sent these messages kill my sister," the young man seemed grimly determined.
"Jeffrey, does your sister…" Stefan paused for a name.
"Janet," the stranger, Jeffrey, supplied.
"Does your sister Janet have any idea why she is being targeted?"
"I would like to meet her and talk with her."
"Yes, I understand."
"You say your cousin died almost two weeks ago and has already been buried?"
"You tell me that he was poisoned, but was his body ever examined?"
"Then how do you know it was poison?"
"He was in the best of health, and the doctor did not think it was a heart attack or anything. Actually, we didn't expect anything until the first note arrived."
Stefan nodded slowly. "Well, I'd like to see the place where he was found."
"Of course. I can give you directions to the house. Or you could follow me. Or I could give you a ride…" he was clearly aware that his ownership of a vehicle was a rare thing.
"Directions will do just fine."
Jeffrey sighed slightly and asked, "how soon can you come?"
"Right now, if you like?"
"Oh good. That would be perfect. I can put you up for as long as you need," Jeffrey glanced at Nicolette, "and your assistant too, if you need her there."
"Yes, that would be good, thank you," said Stefan, rising to his feet. "Nicolette, go ask Mrs. Tall if she can look after the cat until we get back, then gather your things."
Nicolette got up and headed for the door.
Stefan had turned back to Jeffrey and was saying, "once you give me the directions, I'll only need fifteen minutes or so to get ready."
Nicolette paused to rub Mister Whiskers between the ears. "See you in a couple days, big fella," she whispered. "We're going on an away-mission!"

As AI continues to take over the world, startups like Clara Labs have to rely on contemporary tactics built upon tested methods in order to ensure the revolutionary products they're building are capable of staying ahead of the competition. All while trying to stay focused and nimble.
Clara Labs first public product, a virtual employee that helps you stay on top of your calendar, has received a lot of acclaim as a result. The success of Clara comes, in part, from the company's ability to solve real-world needs in a rapidly evolving and ever improving way.
Just include Clara into you email conversation and a complex system of machine learning software can help automate scheduling meetings or follow-ups without you having to worry over time zone differences, overbooked calendars, or archived messaging. While email and schedule optimization is where Clara currently works most effectively, the team behind the product says that new methods for managing relationships and getting more done--outside of email--are close to follow.
How does Clara Labs handle being in the forefront of artificial intelligence and virtual assistants? Better yet: what can you learn from them in order to ensure you're moving fast enough with your own, riskier ideas without crashing and burning?
Karan Nelson, Clara Labs CEO, says that the trick to successfully run such an innovative product company is to make sure you're not entirely delusional. In a recent Q&A with ProductHunt she writes:
Of course if you aren't proficient at talking to existing or would-be customers it can be hard to know where to start. If you're not good at listening, for example, you'll only ever hear what you want to hear.

Awkward MomentsMature
This is a series of scenes based around awkward moments. Each scene is about anonymous characters who experience something that makes them want to squirm, not so much in a fun way, even if no one else notices. There is humour in awkwardness, especially when you can look back at it from a safe distance.
She remembered the moment clearly, flashed back to it at various moments. The moment when things became awkward, if only in her own mind. It was a moment that she doubted anyone else had noticed unless her cheeks had been stained with a blush. More likely the change had barely been evident, the looks a little longer, a little too much like stares. The flushes slightly more often, the laughter perhaps just a little too bright. Regardless, the moment was long gone and yet it lingered, momentous for her. Momentous primarily for just how awkward she felt.
It was bloody awkward to act normal around a guy after fantasizing about licking his hip.
To start not necessarily at the beginning, but at least with the moment, the day was nothing special. It was simply life as usual although perhaps slightly brighter since he was there. And yet no one watching would have picked it, would have expected something extraordinary. A simple moment of all being present, not just the two of them.
Public or not, it did not matter in those few seconds. Suddenly it was just the two of them, at least for her. He stretched, raising his arms, and the hem of his shirt rose. A peek of pale skin, the shadow of his hip bone creeping into view as the side seam pulled up the point where the shirt was shortest, the front and back tails hiding most of what they meant to hide, only that glimpse bared. It was, of course, enough. Perhaps more tantalizing for being so minimal, so brief. Nothing she hadn't seen in magazines, on television, even in the street. No forbidden view, especially with today's fashions of low-slung pants that seemed to defy gravity to remain where designers had intended them.
And yet, and yet. A view of something that had long held a fascination in her mind. That subtle dip, the shadow just at the edge of the protubance of the bone. An anatomical point of interest. A sight to be seen, a texture to the body that held her in thrall, reminding her of all those moments in the past when she had indulged herself in exploration, those times she had found something unexpected, a gasp, a shudder. All this brought to the fore in her mind in those few seconds of skin glimpsed and most likely unnoted by any others. Afterall, it was no peep show, no eroticism intended. Ending in a momentary flash in her mind of the possibilities of tactile exploration, the wet glide of a tongue over oddly smooth skin. Perhaps the arch of a body, the hitch in the breath. An unknown but anticipated reaction. Dear Lord, she could practically taste it.
How do you look a man in the face after such an inadvertant fantasy?
It was something she puzzled over afterwards. Something that grew within her along pace with the fantasy that began to tinge all her thoughts of him. Admittedly there had already been interest, an appreciation. It was, however, primarily mental. An intellectual crush that had less to do with the body and much more to do with the mind it housed.
The awareness, however, was not to be lost. It had become both, the two entangled. The certainty that he could do for her mind what he could do for her body. A conversation could become as much a parry and thrust as any sexual encounter, the idle question of the possibility of a purely mental orgasm perhaps a little less idle. Someone who could satisfy the mind that had been too long neglected even as her body longed for an expert who could hold a full conversation, not merely an obvious dialogue that wandered no paths that were not well expected. The desire for an amazing cinematographic journey when all one is given is a trite sitcom experience.
And so.
They talked, they laughed, they conversed on a level that was theoretical and fascinating while still seemingly remaining impersonal. There were just so many facets she was utterly unaware of. So much about him she did not know, but she felt unable to delve into those things that were personal in a way while still being so mundane. What did he drink? Where did he grow up? Did he like pets?
Then again, she felt a wistful, secret smile when she realized just how many things about her he did not know. The way music wound its way around her spine, threatening to spill from her mouth. The way words tasted to her as she allowed her imagination to spill through her fingers onto a screen or a page. The images she had drawn, her past hopes and dreams. Things she thought might interest him, others she was unsure if he would take an interest in. But still those things a part of her that she wished he wanted to know.
It was all beside the point. Actually, not all of it was. Those things she did not know about him were very much the point. The most important being what he felt. She felt far too unprepared for reading any of the signals that society suggested she should know by now. Friends, yes, that much she could clearly read. But was there more? She just didn't know.
She wanted a written statement. Something obvious. As a friend once said, she would know if he jumped on her. Or a neon sign. That would be good. That she couldn't misread. A big, flashing, glowing sign saying, "Yes, I am interested in you," or, "I have never thought of you as anything but a friend." Shouldn't she be able to interpret catching his eye by now? They were both adults, shouldn't this be more obvious? It always was in the movies. Hah! She should know better. She just didn't want to need to.

5 Wacky Ways To Eat Your Pastrami
Pastrami is the staple of Jewish deli food: unctuous and fatty, thinly sliced and layered over a good seedy rye with just a dab of spicy mustard and, it makes one of the more perfect, simple sandwiches. But now the workhouse of the delicatessen is migrating into unusual territory. Chefs around the country have begun to experiment with pastrami in a variety of dishes. From crunchy and chewy pastrami nachos to frothy pastrami ramen, the humble sandwich filler has gotten a whole new culinary reputation as a versatile protein and a clever bacon replacement, too. Below, we present some of our favorite pastrami innovations.
Would you try these pastrami concoctions? Let us know in the comments.
Pastrami Eggrolls
Cantonese-American restaurant Red Farm introduced the Katz eggroll, a pastrami update on the grease-bomb take-out staple. Serious Eats sampled the roll, and recommends the "tender, salty pastrami inside and the incredible lacy spring roll wrapper," a deft update on the heavy appetizer. Los Angeles food truck M.O. Eggrolls has been doling out similar concoctions too. Perhaps it won't be long before you'll find them alongside your Kung Pao.
Pastrami Burrito
Los Angeles' answer to the diaspora is the pastrami burrito at Oki's Dog, a wicked combination of pastrami and chili cheese packed into a tortilla with onions and peppers. It's a dish that no less than LA Times food guru Jonathan Gold endorses. "It's Jewish deli food made by Mexican immigrants, and served up to an African-American community," he said to The Forward. "It's an incredible combination." Another specialty? The titular Oki Dog, which combines pastrami with two kosher hot dogs and a pile of fixings.
Pastrami Waffles
Orange County, California's gourmet waffle sandwich spot Bruxie Bruxie has renovated the pastrami sandwich with one sly addition: s sweet, fluffy Belgian waffles replacing the traditional toothsome rye. A dollop of spicy brown mustard, a smattering of crunchy coleslaw, and, of course, a briny-sweet pickle finish the sandwich. All the joys of the Lower East Side corner deli stuffed into a breakfast treat? Yes, please.
Pastrami Ramen
Brooklyn's Dassara gives pastrami yet another Asian-style twist by including big meaty hunks of it from nearby Mile End Deli and dense, comforting matzo balls in its Deli Ramen.
Pastrami Nachos
Heading to Citi Field to nab a Mets game? Then go to Keith's Grill check out this uniquely New York take on ballpark food, a bed of crisp tortilla chips covered with pastrami, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing. He calls them "pastrachos."

Born in 1996, Red was once an agile and speedy mount who worked the Rodeo circuit as a Barrel Racing Horse. He faithfully carried his previous owner to many victories until younger and faster horses began to over take him. The Ranch was lucky to have Red join our barn in his golden years. Trustworthy and faithful, he is – truly a friend to anyone he develops a relationship with. Arriving at The Ranch as a sorrel, as he's aged Red has developed more and more white spots or "freckles" characteristic of his Colonel Freckles Quarter Horse bloodlines and parentage.
Born in 1984 (or earlier), Albert has been with The Ranch long before it opened as a treatment center, when it was solely a ranch and beef production operation. A steadfast sentinel, Albert has protected the newborn calves against predators such as coyotes and wild dogs. Anyone who has worked with Albert knows his determination and strength, a trait – some may even call stubbornness. Clients have described Albert as a "Teddy Bear" because he is so loving and devoted. Did we mention he is also very vocal when he wants to get our attention? He loves to be involved and participate with all aspects of the equine program at The Ranch.
Born in 2002 and raised on The Ranch, Pistol began his career in equine-assisted psychotherapy when he was young, lanky and inexperienced. Remaining a "colt at heart" over the years, Pistol is always playful and loves to play horse games and "mock fight" with anyone who will join him, – especially his pal Little Man, another youngster in The Ranch herd. Pistol has become a client favorite as he is a beautiful and dependable equine team member.
Just don't judge what this horse can do by his size alone – Little Man, born in 2005, often surprises us with his mischievous and creative sense of humor. He is the official horse greeter who comes to the gates to welcome newcomers to the barn. Little Man has proven to be an excellent teacher, helping clients better understand patience, boundaries, containment and nurturing. Our resident escape artist, Little Man shows off his talent for setting himself and his other horse friends free. He loves to go for trail rides with our clients and enjoys his buddy Pistol.
Born in 2001, Pepper Jack came to us after working on a Texas cattle ranch. Kind and willing, he is frequently used to introduce new clients to their first equine experience. Pepper Jack is gentle with big soft brown eyes that welcome even the most timid – first time barn guest. He remains attentive and aware on the trail, responding to his environment as he meets it.
Born in 1996, Hank is one of the longest Ranch residents. When his owners could no longer care for him, The Ranch veterinarian suggested he join the equine herd at the barn. Hank is known for schooling novice riders and others a bit fearful of working with a horse.
Born in 1990 and raised at The Ranch his entire life, Sonny. Formerly performed in the Hunter/Jumper equestrian discipline until an illness curtailed his show ring aspirations. Though he is no longer ridden, Sonny shows clients what being a horse is all about in the round pen and gently teaches anyone he meets about heart and spirit.
Born in 1993, Ranger came to The Ranch after retiring from his long career both in the Rodeo and working cattle. His size is impressive, and although he once dealt with ornery bulls and rodeo rough stock on many occasions, Ranger's dimension is more an illustration of the size of his heart and his willingness to work with clients.
Born in 1999, Gemini was donated to The Ranch and arrived to mend from a shoulder injury suffered from his show jumping career. He acts a bit more like a dog – than a horse as he loves to follow clients and staff around and join in all the fun. A fast learner, once Gemini was back on his feet, it took no time at all for him to join with clients to school them on riding and equine therapy.
Since her arrival at The Ranch in 2003, much lore abounds regarding Kodak. One story says she was artfully smuggled in under the jacket of one of the River House men after a client weekend shopping excursion. Another tale is that she simply showed up one day, assuring everyone she was here to stay. Kodak remains loyal to her River House men, always following them to the main campus or the barn. She is known for bonding with special folks who sometimes struggle in their recovery journey, offering her special "Kodak" moment. She always role models good boundaries and barks when she is ready for you to pet her.
Dixie appeared at The Ranch as a stray puppy in 2005. She arrived in the company of another youngster who was very scared and in need of mothering. Dixie rose to the challenge consoling the lost pup until it was adopted by a family a few weeks later, which earned her a permanent home at The Ranch. She loves to play ball or fetch and enjoys spending time with the Hilltop ladies. Dixie can often be found in the company of her friend Bo who she also loves to herd.
Bo showed up at The Ranch in 2005 and became fast friends with the Hilltop and Lake House clients. Very affectionate and loving, Bo enjoys being petted and having his tummy scratched. With his Border Collie heritage showing through, he loves to fetch sticks, balls and almost anything that can be thrown. Bo's only shortcoming is his attraction to local skunks, which dislike being pursued by him. It is always wise to approach Bo on a "sniff first before touching" basis as he often finds himself perfumed with "eau de skunk". Dixie and Bo love to play together traveling between Lake and Hilltop, as well as the Medicine Wheel and Sweat Lodge.
Ozzie joined The Ranch in 2011 after being adopted from the Hickman County Humane Society, where he arrived as a lost pet. A Ranch staff member met him while in the care of a foster family, who adored him, and knew he would be a great addition to the women at Overlook. Ozzie is a happy and affectionate Chow mix. He freely seeks the attention of the Overlook gals and often selects one special person in each group whom he befriends for life.
An all American Tiger Cat, Hope Kitty arrived at Creek House shortly after it opened in 2011. The ladies had been considering the best pet for their house when she arrived and decided that Creek House would be her home. Hope Kitty is very content and shares her affectionate purr to let you know she is very happy and enjoys your company. The Creek House women adore her.

Walk the Line : The Art of Drawing Paperback
by Ana Ibarra, Marc Valli
Drawing has always been a fundamental skill and good drawing skills allowed artists to grasp the reality around them.
At the turn of the millennium, however, the general impression was that with the wide availability of computers, scanners, digital cameras and image software, drawing would dwindle into a marginal activity.
In fact, the opposite happened: the enthusiasm for digital imagery died down and the ability to draw has become a treasured skill.
In the art world, attitudes to drawing have also changed.
Drawing became a way of making a statement as an artist, of showing masterly skill something that up to then had been most commonly associated with painting. After centuries in the shadow of its more illustrious fine art relatives, drawing started to be appreciated for its own sake, as an art discipline, an end in itself, an art form.
Walk the Line: The Art of Drawing includes interviews with the international selection of artists, as well as examples of their work.
It will appeal to anyone interested in contemporary art and illustration.

Amy Winehouse tops UK albums chart after death
By Olesya Dmitracova
LONDON (Reuters) - "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse shot back to the top of the British albums chart Sunday, a week after the troubled singer died at the age of 27.
Winehouse, famous for her distinctive soul songs and beehive hairdo, struggled with drinking and drug problems throughout much of her career. The cause of her death has not yet been determined as officials await results of toxicology tests.
Sales of the singer's recordings, released by the Universal Music label, rocketed following news that she had been found dead at her London home on July 23. That propelled her album "Back to Black" up from last week's 59th position, the Official Charts Company said.
The album was released in 2006, reaching the number one spot in Britain at the time and winning five Grammy awards, pop music's equivalent of the Oscars.
It also produced a string of memorable tunes, including "You Know I'm No Good," "Love Is a Losing Game" and "Rehab," which contained the line: "They tried to make me go to rehab. I said 'no, no, no'."
The renewed popularity of the album pushed "21" by queen of the charts Adele to the second place.
Winehouse earned two more spots in the top 10 of best-selling albums. Her debut release "Frank" came in fifth, proving more successful after her death than in her lifetime as the album had previously peaked at number 13.
The box set incorporating "Frank" and "Back to Black" reached the 10th position. Continued...

Who wants to be a millionaire?
Dumb question. Who doesn't? Especially during a global economic meltdown.
But in asking the question, director Danny Boyle finds himself once again anticipating a trend before it became obvious to everyone else. He did it with "28 Days Later," the plague-themed horror film that captured the paranoid zeitgeist of a post-Sept. 11 world, and does it again with "Slumdog Millionaire," a portrait of love and hope among the impoverished.
That it is set in Mumbai, site of recent terrorist attacks, is coincidental, but it's another telling detail for a filmmaker who sees how the people of the world are interconnected and then follows the strands, as he did in "Millions," a follow-the-money odyssey that began in a British suburb but ended in an African village.
For all that, Boyle is loath to make the same film twice. Which is why each - from the sci-fi "Sunshine" to the drug romp "Trainspotting" - is less something you've never seen before than traces of what you think you know traveling under an assumed name. Collectively, Boyle's films are a portrait of an artist with no discernible identity except an insatiable curiosity.
But even for the eclectic Boyle, "Slumdog Millionaire" represents a departure.
In it, a youth's childhood, boyhood and manhood are revealed in retrospect, through anecdotes triggered by questions on a TV game show where he is a contestant, and from police who believe the boy, a mere chai wallah, or tea vendor - played by Dev Patel - is somehow cheating.
But each question and answer is connected to something in his life whose path was determined by the girl he met as a boy and lost track of but never forgot. He, she and his older brother were street urchins, orphans who survived by begging and stealing and were brutishly exploited in the process.
If his search for her has a needle-in-a-haystack quality, in a country of more than 1 billion people, the mere effort puts a triumphant human face on lives too often seen, when seen at all, as disposable, hopeless and disenfranchised.
Although the youths - played by three sets of actors in flashbacks through the current day - are whimsically referred to as "The Three Musketeers," other comparisons are useful.
The deplorable social conditions and the exploitation of children in the shadow of progress recall Charles Dickens' similar portraits of 19th-century London. And as with the film "City of God," about the drug culture in Brazil, Boyle's fluid, pulsating and impressionistic style is the visual equivalent of the uncertainty and incongruity of these lives and their world.
But "Slumdog Millionaire" is, finally, a classic tale of adventure and survival - adapted by Simon Beaufoy from a novel by Vikas Swarup - and is reminiscent of the underappreciated "Undertow," David Gordon Green's film about brothers in jeopardy.
Its social realism is a far cry from the escapist fare created by the Bollywood fantasy factory, but the percussive score by Bollywood veteran A.R. Rahman and a rousing dance number finale add cultural specificity and vibrancy.
And if the sensory overload of a teeming modern-day India - which Boyle captured with the help of Indian co-director Loveleen Tandan - is the specific setting, the broader depiction is a universal one: of how love survives in a hostile and chaotic world, and how we are all poorer without it.

GM Recalls Vans and New Pontiac
General Motors is recalling 77,055 Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari minivans from the 2001 and 2002 model years, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said. The problem at issue is a circuit problem that may cause rear brake lights or hazard lights to stop working, which could lead to a crash.
GM is also recalling 35,777 2005 sedans because the owner's manual neglects to say that there is a child restraint anchor in the middle of the back seat. NHTSA said owners could have difficulty installing child seats if they aren't aware of the anchor.

In related news, the agency also said that Volkswagen was recalling 9,965 and cars to fix a possible problem with their Xenon headlight reflectors.
