The brake booster is a vacuum-driven component responsible for providing vacuum pressure to the brake system. The pressure generated by the booster improves the braking in your vehicle by creating additional clamping force for the brake caliper. Brake boosters rarely fail, but when they do, you'll know it. You will feel a dramatic decrease in the brake power being generated when you press on the brake pedal. When this happens, you'll need to replace the unit.
Things You'll Need
- Socket wrench and socket set
- Tube-nut wrench
- Pliers
- New brake booster
- Masking tape
- Permanent marker
Secure the tube-nut wrench to the tube nut on the brake line at the master cylinder. Slip the tube-nut wrench over the brake line just before the tube nut that is connected to the master cylinder. Orient the wrench so that it fits over the tube nut on the end of the brake line.
Turn the tube nut counterclockwise to loosen and remove it. Mark the location of all of the brake lines and remove the lines by pulling them out of the master cylinder.
Remove the electrical connector running to the brake master cylinder reservoir cap.
Remove the master cylinder mounting bolts.
Slide the master cylinder off the brake booster diaphragm.
Remove the brake booster to firewall mounting bolts.
Remove the cotter pin that secures the brake pedal to the brake booster connecting-pin connection. The cotter pin slides into the connecting pin, which secures the brake pedal to the brake booster diaphragm inside the passenger compartment. To remove it, pull it out with a pair of pliers.
Pull out the brake pedal to brake booster connecting pin.
Pull out the brake booster through the engine bay.
Install the new brake booster; installation is the reverse of removal.
Tips & Warnings
- For specific information about removing your vehicle's brake booster, consult the particular vehicle's manual.

Teen girls arrested for Hickory cabdriver murder
HICKORY, N.C. - Two 16-year-old girls were arrested on murder indictments Saturday in the Aug. 23, 2011, slaying of cabdriver Adam Williams.
Emily Katherine Starnes, of Little River Road in Hildebran, and Consandra Nicole Tyree, of Ninth Tee Drive in Newton, were arrested and charged with murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon. Both girls are being held under no bond in the Catawba County jail.
Both girls had been previously arrested on Oct. 5, 2011, and charged with obstruction of justice. Investigators said the girls were not honest when they were asked what they knew about the killing.
When they were arrested, Starnes was a student at East Burke High School. Tyree had recently enrolled in Maiden High School, but had previously been enrolled at East Burke as well.
Additional investigation only strengthened the investigators' conviction that the teens knew far more than they were willing to say about Williams' death. After meeting with the district attorney's office, the decision was made to charge Starnes and Tyree. They were indicted Monday.
"They were the two girls that were with the suspects on the night on the cab driver's murder," said Capt. Thurman Whisnant of the Hickory Police Department. "They were heavily involved; they were involved before, during and after the murder."
Five people have now been arrested in connection with Williams' slaying.
Camyron Johnson, 22, of Hickory, Matthew Hopkins, 22, of Connelly Springs, and Robert McElwee, 18, of Hickory, were arrested three days after Williams was killed. Johnson and Hopkins were charged with murder. McElwee was charged with accessory after the fact.
Williams, 32, was killed after having worked for Yellow Cab Company for two weeks.
The night Williams was slain, he had been dispatched to the Fuddruckers parking lot near the intersection of U.S. 70 and Lenoir Rhyne Boulevard at about 10:30 p.m.
Williams was attacked and stabbed shortly after he arrived. He struggled to the door of the Longhorn Steakhouse and was bleeding from slashes to his face and throat. Employees called an ambulance, which took Williams to Frye Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Williams had been working for about 4½ hours the night he was killed and had taken in $39 in cab fares.
Starnes and Tyree are scheduled to appear in court on May 14.
"They're older than 16. They have been charged and will be treated as adults," Whisnant said.

U.S. Senator George LeMieux (R-FL) today commended the U.S. Department of Education for recognizing Florida's education system and awarding the state one of the competitive "Race to the Top" school reform grants. The Education Department is awarding more than $3.4 billion dollars today to nine states and Washington, DC.
Senator LeMieux said:
"The credit for Florida's academic achievements is rooted in the reforms initiated by Governor Jeb Bush. His leadership paved the way for student success and I commend the U.S. Department of Education for this recognition. Florida's economy is diversifying into areas requiring strong skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The more we can do now to improve student achievement, the better off our state and nation will be in the future."

BERLIN (dpa) – The number of corporate bankruptcies in Germany will grow in 2015 for the first time in five years due to a fall in people meeting their debt payments in the country, the credit insurance group Euler Hermes told dpa on Wednesday.
Bankruptcies in Europe's biggest economy are likely to climb by two per cent next year to nearly 25,000 because of weaker debt payment habits, Euler Hermes Chief Economist Ludovic Subran said.
This is despite the global trend towrads lower bankruptcies. German bankruptcies are expected to have dropped by 6 per cent this year. But figures drawn up by the German debt collection and credit group Creditreform show the number of days that debts were in arrears grew to 13.25 in the third quarter this year compared with 12.84 days in the same period last year.
Subran was, however, confident that the expected rise in bankruptcies in 2015 represented only a "short-term dip" in the general trend towards lower bankruptcies with the numbers stablising in the coming years.
The forecast rise in in German bankruptices also goes against the global trend. Euler Hermes expects a worldwide fall in bankruptcies of three per cent in 2015, including a drop in nations that have been at the centre of the euro debt crisis such as Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece.
In addition to Germany, Euler Hermes predicts an increase in bankruptcies next year in Luxembourg, Austria, Finland, Belgium and China.

There have been three distinct phases for British industry during the financial and economic crisis of the past six years. In phase one, manufacturing output fell off a cliff, dropping by 15% peak to trough as global demand shrank at a rate not seen since the 1930s. The UK was not alone in suffering; indeed, other countries including Germany and Japan suffered even bigger falls.
Phase two was the recovery that began in 2009. Sterling fell by more than 25% on the foreign exchanges between 2007 and early 2009, making UK exports more competitive and imports dearer. Helped also by a pickup in global demand, manufacturing production recovered half the ground lost during the recession by the autumn of 2010.
At that point, the recovery faltered and phase three began. With the debt crisis in the eurozone casting a long shadow, factories saw their output drop by 4% between late 2010 and early 2013 and are now producing only 3% more than they were in the dark days of 2009.
The question now is whether a fourth phase, which will see a sustained increase in manufacturing production and a better balanced economy overall, has begun. Some City analysts were disappointed that output dipped by 0.2% this April, but that followed chunky increases in the previous two months. The quarter on quarter increase of 0.5% was the strongest for almost two years. Forward-looking surveys look promising.
Even so, it looks premature to declare that phase four is in full swing. Certainly, Vince Cable, the business secretary, would be reluctant to do so. That's not just because the forward-looking surveys have in the past heralded too many false dawns for comfort. Given the size of the fall in the pound, the rise in manufacturing output has been disappointing and far too concentrated in the pharma and transport sectors. In part that's because the euro crisis that stopped recovery in its tracks is far from over. In part, it's because the squeeze on real incomes at home has stifled consumer demand, which has made companies reluctant to invest.

We all know that suffering from the herpes infection is in most of the cases a very harsh experience. The visible symptoms and the non visible ones create so much discomfort that some people are prepared to do everything in the world to get rid of them. Unfortunately, there is not yet discovered a complete cure for this horrible infection however there are some medicine that are instrumental in softening the symptoms. Among these maybe the most effective and affordable is the Zovirax cream.
This medicine is known in US and worldwide by being an amazing antiviral treatment that is administered against the herpetic infections preferred by lots of people who suffer or are carriers of this virus. In all of the cases related to the herpes treatment the doctor might advice to apply Zovirax cream on the affected surfaces. Of course, it will not treat the infection but the person who uses it will feel released since the main herpes symptoms as redness, itching, and irritation will shortly disappear. Furthermore, this outstanding unguent will considerable reduce the produced by infection inflammation and even will relieve pain once applied.
It is not a secret that the herpes symptoms are not only painful but also they produce a lot of displeasure and the people feel embarrassed at the same time. Well, by using this ointment it is actually possible to reduce the local discomfort simply because it will heal the herpetic sores and will help in this way the damaged area to heal much faster.
Another fact that the users need to know about the Zovirax cream is that it can be used while taking any other herpes drugs. Since it is designed for the external usage only it can be for the real help once it is combined with other treatment remedies. I think that is clear that the perfect and safe drug combination can be prescribed exclusively by a doctor.
For all those who got interested in the subject, I can recommend you to visit the following website: http://www.zovirax-cream.net/ – here you will find all you need to know about Zovirax cream and also how this marvellous remedy can be ordered online.

Takashi: The way of the guild
The first three where no more then cannon fodder. Now the fight began. As blades collided i created a smaller sword that connected with a chain to my original from the extra metal i gained from the others. Blocking the dagger that was about to pierce my rib cage. He had improved. Using the force from the dagger i summersaulted over him crouching as i landed then pulled on the chain that now pulled him by his throat i span on the spot to see him land on the floor. I retracted the chain and approached him.
"stop this madness. He isn't one of us he doesn't know us unlike the emeror." i pleaded
"You mean the emperor you foresake to chase dreams of defying death?"
"No i mean the emperor that is clearly not himself. And until he is himself again not one person in the guild is safe."
His face contorted i dodged backwards but i was too late he landed a hit from left hip to right shoulder. I dropped the shorter sword but managed to keep a hold on my sword. It was deep i may not have counted on loosing this much blood but...
Now it was him who stood over me. I noticed a spectater, i hope he isn't with them.
"now where's that attitude? A little cut and your down for the count? He tried to angitate me"
"This is your last chance to help me" i caughed
"Help you?" it was retorical " your a traitor and your fini..." he neve did finish his sentances when he gets hit. The sword i dropped had changed into a spear headed snake and plunged itself into his shoulder. I didn't wait to see his response and seized the chance shoulder barging him and plunged my blade into the wound on my chest. My sword liquified to cover the wound then chained itself to the hilt of my sword. With no metal left i dropped the pommel and left it dangling between us. we landed i roled over him as he lay in shock at the sudden attack. One final thing to do i rearanged the metal that impaled my opponent so that it was sealed into his shoulder with circular plates at both sides.
"cleaver use of metal don't you think?" I said calmly.
"you've got no weapon left" he broke into laughter "What are you going to do? call me na..." again his annoying habbit of stopping mid sentance. He had noticed my sword slowly growing.
"Calcium oxide, Iron, Magnesium and a few other metals are in the blood you think i did that just to look cool?" He obviously decided he should attack before i get too much metal. before he reached me i retracted the chain linked to his shoulder pulling him off balance and watched him land face down again. I couldn't help but laugh.
"I thought you learned faster then this. How did you make it to fourth seat again?" He became more enraged and formed a spear as black as his mood so that he wouldn't have to get too close. His first lunge scraped the metal on my chest. I couldn't see it? the angle was against his black uniform. I grabbed the pommel that hovered near my left hand spanned a cirle shield as far as i could given the material i had deflecting blow after blow. Eventually I noticed a patern. I retracted my shield slowly as i homed in on the precise locations. He didn't seem to notice. I parried a blow then span the pommel to hold it backwards revealing a blade i made with the retracted shield material. As i lunged he released the spear and brought a dagger down into my shoulder as a last act of spite. I expanded the blade and felt the dagger disappear as his top half fell to the floor taking the chain with it. I let out a sigh and patched the punctture that had the distinct shape of a dagger.
"rest in peace. If only you had listened."

A Traditional IRA is an Individual Retirement Arrangement, more commonly known as an Individual Retirement Account, which allows individuals to put aside tax-deferred money for retirement. Eligible contributions are made from pretax dollars, meaning they are tax-deductible, and any interest, capital gains, or dividend income from the original funds will grow tax-deferred upon withdrawal.
With an Entrust self-directed Traditional IRA, an individual may have the ability to direct their funds towards a wide variety of investments, including alternatives like real estate and precious metals.
An individual can open and make contributions to a Traditional IRA if both of the following requirements are met:
If an individual and their spouse have received compensation during the year, and have not reached 70 1/2 years of age, an IRA may be established for each. However, if filing a joint tax return, only one spouse is required to receive compensation and is allowed to contribute on behalf of the other spouse.
A self-directed account is different than a standard account because it allows you to have more investment freedom. Self-directed IRAs offer the unique opportunity to hold alternative assets, such as real estate, precious metals, and more.
If your current Traditional IRA does not allow self-direction, you can easily transfer funds to an Entrust self-directed Traditional IRA and gain access to a wide range of alternative investments, from real estate and gold to private stock and small business. You may also convert a 401(k) with a former employer to a self-directed Traditional IRA. Contact us today to get started.
How to determine if an Entrust self-directed Traditional IRA is the right retirement plan for you:
If you answered 'yes' to all or most of these questions, a self-directed Traditional IRA may be a good choice for you.
For 2015, the maximum contribution allowed to a Traditional IRA is $5,500. If you are over the age of 50, you may contribute an additional $1,000 for a total of $6,500.
Visit our Learning Center Resources for up-to-date information on IRA contribution limits.

Here is Walter Zimmermann's views on the real vs. nominal stock market illusion, current market euphoria, and the consumer sentiment divergence (I put up that chart as well courtesy of United-ICAP via BNN.ca).
|source: BNN.ca
"That brings up the question, well, is this the start of a sustainable recovery or is this a bubble? And what characterizes a bubble, well, there are a number of things. One is that the nominal stock market gets way way way ahead of the real inflation adjusted stock market. And as it currently is situated, the nominal S&P, not adjusted for inflation, is the highest it's ever been above the real inflation adjusted S&P. That gap we call a bubble. And the last time we had a gap anything that large was back in 2007, when the housing bubble bursting hit the stock market. And we all know what happens when bubbles burst. The other thing to note about bubbles is they are largely invisible until they burst, and then everybody notices them because everybody is caught long.
Now, that gets into the issue of sentiment. And if you look to this weeks Barron's cover story, the headline being "Dow 16,000," if you read the story you find that there are more money managers bullish now than ever. By a wide margin. There have never been this many people bullish on the stock market. And not just a year ahead, but 5 years ahead. 94% are bullish. These are extraordinary numbers. We've never seen anything like this before."
|Source: BNN, United-ICAP/William Zimmermann
|Source: BNN, United-ICAP/William Zimmermann
More on the bullish money manager sentiment via the Barron's article "Dow 16,000" (emphasis mine):
"The stock market isn't the only thing that has set records this spring. Barron's semiannual Big Money poll of professional investors also is setting a record -- for bullishness, that is. In our latest survey, 74% of money managers identify themselves as bullish or very bullish about the prospects for U.S. stocks -- an all-time high for Big Money, going back more than 20 years. What's more, about a third of managers expect the Dow Jones industrials to scale the 16,000 level by the middle of next year, notwithstanding a dismal week of selling that left the blue-chip index at 14,547.51 on Friday.
A quick trip through history reveals that only 45% of managers were bullish in the spring of 1999, and 54% in the fall of that year, even as the dot-com boom was inflating. Similarly, bullish sentiment was in the mid-40% range in the mid-2000s, as the housing market was on the boil and stocks last were hitting fresh peaks."
Here's my chart of the S&P 500 going out to 2019.
|source: StockCharts.com
When using the same trend lines, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is projected to bottom between 5,400 and 5,770 between 2016 and 2019. This means that the Dow will revert back to 1996 levels. The way I see it, human and robot traders would leverage up all of the new printed money and sell the market short. And perhaps long-only money would capitulate hard to the downside when (or really if) the previous lows break.

We Finally Know Why Some Canadians Still Refuse To Vaccinate
Vaccination is one of the most successful means to prevent infections. Yet since it was first used over 200 years ago, the practice continuously has been the subject of controversy.
In Canada, most people know and understand the benefits as well as the risks. However, an increasing number of individuals give credence to the arguments presented by groups and individuals who find vaccines may do more harm than good.
One of the major concerns about the negative perception is a rising trend in vaccine hesitancy. It's defined as a "delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccination despite availability of vaccination services." Essentially, people may go to great lengths to avoid the use of vaccines as a result of a number of reasons. Some governments such as Ontario's have taken legislative routes such as mandatory vaccinations for children. Despite this, many individuals still have doubts about a variety of vaccine choices.
Vaccine hesitancy is not limited to Canada. The doubt is growing globally and prompted researchers to find ways to slow or reverse the trend. Some are information based, while others are disciplinary, including dropping patients who will not accept vaccines. Not surprisingly, some of these strategies have not been effective and over the last few years, the numbers of hesitant individuals continues to rise.
For some, the idea of vaccine hesitancy may be nothing more than an intrinsic belief in a flawed theory postulated nearly 20 years ago, namely, the MMR vaccine causes autism. Yet, there may be far more at play than a single belief in a now-disproven accusation. Other factors could potentially increase the complexity of vaccine hesitancy. Without properly understanding these issues, there is little chance to see any change in the trends. Despite this, figuring out what truly concerns Canadians has not been given any significant attention.
Now that gap may be finally filled thanks to a large Canadian collaboration. Last week they published an examination of vaccine hesitancy in Canada. Based on their results, the reasons behind the concern over vaccine may be far more troublesome than anyone believed.
There was an overt mistrust of the vaccine, the pharmaceutical industry and even the medical establishment as a whole.
The group reached out to hundreds of Canadians working in some capacity in the immunization field. After going through the names, they found a total of 150 people who were selected to answer a variety of questions. Some dealt with the individual's views and experiences with vaccine hesitancy, while others were more focused on definitions. The aim was to determine the degree of doubt in Canada and whether it was a problem.
Not surprisingly, the results showed Canada is indeed dealing with hesitancy and it is causing a major shift in the way health care is delivered. For those on the front lines, three-quarters said it is a significant problem. Also to no one's surprise, the major vaccines of concern happened to be focused on a few vaccines including measles, influenza and human papilloma virus.
Once the actual extent was figured out, the next step was to determine the major causes of hesitancy. A lack of proper information was one of the more common reasons. Regardless of the type of person vaccine providers faced, there were inevitably one or more questions focused on links between vaccines and the onset of illness and injury.
Other troubles were seen as a result of personal beliefs. Some, such as religious practice, could be understood, but many were also deemed to be politically motivated in the form of conspiracy theories. Other less common reasons included complacency, fear of needles and a lack of convenience.
But the most common reason behind vaccine hesitancy would be considered a major blow to any health care professional. There was an overt mistrust of the vaccine, the pharmaceutical industry and even the medical establishment as a whole. People had lost faith in the process and would be skeptical of anything told to them. For the authors of this study, this proved to be quite worrisome as the answer lies in the development of trust rather than the dissemination of knowledge. In essence, vaccines would be secondary to the relationship between an individual and his or her health care worker.
For the authors, this study underscores the complexity of vaccine hesitancy in Canada. It also points to a rather poor outcome as the major issues deal with trust rather than information. Unfortunately, the trends in public perception of science, government and industry seem to be a large hindrance. Any possible efforts to use large-scale strategies would risk being regarded as yet another attempt by a large conglomerate to fool or force the individual into an unsafe position.
The study also reveals the best way to deal with vaccine hesitancy as well as with any concern over health care is to have a strong and trusting relationship between the patient and the provider. Granted, this may mean more time to discuss concerns and doubts. But in light of the benefit of vaccines on a global scale, these intimate discussions to inform and an encourage what is a truly personal decision may end up being just what the doctor ordered.

The flu shot can give you a sore arm and aches. Each year's vaccine is only designed to protect against the strains it includes. Fever occurs infrequently after vaccination, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada.
A nasal spray version of the vaccine is approved for use in Canada. Provincial health plans may not cover the cost.
A review of studies from 1967 to 2012 concluded that standard injectable influenza vaccines containing three strains protect healthy adults aged 18 to 64 at a rate of about 59 per cent. Michael Osterholm, an infectious disease expert at the University of Minnesota and the report's lead author. "During some influenza seasons vaccination offers substantially more protection for most of the population than being unvaccinated; however, influenza vaccine protection is markedly lower than for most routinely recommended vaccines and is suboptimal," the report concluded.
Pharmacists in four provinces — British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick, can give flu shots. Official regulations for pharmacists are pending in Manitoba, Quebec and Nova Scotia, said Jeff Morrison of the Canadian Pharmacists Association. Matthews said that by expanding the scope of practice for pharmacists gives people more options to get immunized, such as coming in for a flu shot during their lunch break.
Getting immunized during pregnancy protects women and infants for the first six months of life when they can't be vaccinated, Dr. Scott Halperin, head of the Canadian Centre for Vaccinology in Halifax, said in an interview. If you are pregnant (or planning to get pregnant) it is safe to get immunized with the inactivated influenza vaccine, Alberta Health Services says.

Problems p5
Next, I went to Home Economics and my senses went crazy when I entered the room. I smelled a cake and scanned the room for the source, finding a large vanilla cake lying on the teachers' desk.
"There're names on the desks." said a blonde headed girl I didn't know. She shared the desk with a red-headed boy and they were obviously together because they were holding hands.
"Oh, thank you." I said and smiled at her. I went further into the room and found my name on a list on the desk in front of the door. Sitting at the desk, I took out my notebook and began writing down assignments as the class steadily filled up two to a desk, while I remained alone.
"Oh, good. You figured it out." said the teacher as she walked into the room. She wore a flattering turquoise shirt and matching skirt, her short hair a mouse brown set in a spiral perm.
"Why wouldn't we? We're high school juniors." said the same girl who'd helped me.
"You'd be surprised." The teacher said. The blonde girl looked at her boyfriend and then to the teacher, obviously confused on how someone wouldn't be able to figure such a simple thing out.
"Hello class, I'm Mrs. Stettler. The lists on your desk will stay there until I can remember all your names and you know where you should be. They're laminated too, so don't worry about spilling anything on them." she said as she made her way to the front of the class, her inch high heels clicking softly.
The bell rang just then and I heard the chair next to me move. I looked over and saw a tall beefy boy fumbling with the zipper on his binder and then hurriedly take out his school planner, notebook, and textbook. The sight of him made me catch my breath. He was tanned a light copper, had curly dirty blonde hair cut short, even though he was well muscled like Chase, I could tell this boy had brains. It was in his bright blue eyes. He had knowing eyes.
Mrs. Stettler looked at the boy for a minute, and then continued talking about something I wasn't paying attention to at the moment. He looked up at me when he was done scribbling the assignment and smiled easily.
"Hi. I'm Louis." he said, holding out his hand.
"Hi. I'm Dakota, but people just call me Kota." I smiled back and shook his hand. His hand was big, making mine almost seem like a toddler's in comparison, and it was callused, but it held mine gently. He looked from my hand to my face and smiled in a very pleased way, almost making me blush before the teacher got our attention again.
"Now, I know this will be your first day in here with me, but I just want you to know that regardless of how long you've been with me, I believe people learn faster by getting their hands dirty." Her eyes swept over us as she paused and then continued. "But seeing as how this is the beginning of the school year, these first few days will be a short review of last year, and I suggest that those of you who weren't here last year not only listen but study your textbook carefully. Because there's no telling when I'm going to start you cooking."
After that, she went right to work on telling us the things she'd taught the year before and a few things to look out for in the kitchen when cooking. We wrote down everything she said and did some worksheets while we ate small pieces of cake until the bell rang. Me and Louis didn't get to say much else to each other, except how good the cake was, until after class.
"Well, that was more fun than I thought it would be." he said sarcastically when we left the classroom. I laughed.
"Yeah, I hope the next one's like this." I said as we went to our lockers, which were right beside each other.
"Be careful. You don't want to jinx it." he said and I smiled.
"You're hilarious." I said as I closed my locker.
"Thank you." he said, grinning as he closed his locker too.
"Are you new here? I don't think I've seen you before." I asked. I knew I'd never seen him before, but I just felt like I had to keep talking to him. I didn't want to waste a perfect chance like this on getting to know a perfect guy like that.
"Yeah, I am. I've been running all over the place this morning and was almost late to both of my classes so far." he leaned on his locker, still looking at me and I was sure I was blushing.
"I'm sorry about that, but don't worry. You'll get used to running from one side of the school to the other pretty fast." I smiled. The warning bell sounded and I jumped, but he just sighed and leaned off his locker.
"So, I'll see you later, maybe." he said.
I understood the question part of it and said, "Maybe." I smiled and he grinned back. We passed each other, parting easily to go to our own classes.
I headed to Biology, where I also sat in the back. My dancer, Connelly, wasn't there so thankfully I could concentrate on taking notes. I took out my book and another notebook and started writing down the things we would be covering as the teacher called out names.
"Sally Henson?"
"Here." said a red-headed girl with pigtails.
"Brock Evens?"
"Yep." answered a tall jock type guy who I knew was on the football team with Dave.
"Vincent Peters?"
"Here." said a big pale brawny guy with dark brown hair. I paused at the sound of the name "Peters", and looked over at Vincent. He was hunched over his work, sitting alone at his lab table and looking like he didn't mind in the slightest of the absence of a partner. He was just as pale as Connelly and Ivan, and just like his brothers, was unbelievably gorgeous. I mean, I was surprised that everyone in the room could even peel their eyes off of him.
"Dale Lochay?"
"I'm here." said Dale. He was just running in the classroom and came to sit by me.
"Hi Kota." he flashed a smile.
"Hey Dale." I said, watching him dig through his messenger bag.
"I hope it'll be okay if I bring someone else along at lunch. He's new and I've been put in charge of him." Dale looked at me apologetically.
"The more the merrier." I said with a smile and we both turned our attention to the teacher, who had started talking about DNA. Biology was one of my best subjects and I was confident as I wrote down all the formulas and information. Dale was the same and looked as if he wasn't even paying attention to what he was writing because he was so confident.
When the bell rang and Dale was quickly packing up his stuff he said, "Hey, I'll meet you in the cafeteria. I've gotta go get the newbie." He rushed out of the room with a flash and as I was gathering my things, my eyes couldn't help but wander back over to Vincent. But he was gone. It was amazing how fast a big guy like that could be, but then again Dale was pretty nimble for his size too, and he was almost the same size as Vincent. Shrugging, I gathered my things and went on to lunch.

By hitting .292 through the first 12 games of July, Jordan Pickens has steadily raised his average to .236. Twenty-two of his 50 hits have gone for extra bases and he has 40 RBI's, aided by his .270 batting average with runners in scoring position. On June 4, Pickens was batting a scant .165.
Stats through Tuesday, June 11.
Talk about the shoulder injury early in the season and how it is feeling today:
Jordan Pickens: It doesn't really both me when I swing. All in all it feels pretty good. I missed probably about the first month of the season because of cortisone shots but right now it feels good.
Have you had any flare-ups and what are the precautions you can take going forward to stay healthy through the whole season.
Jordan Pickens: Slowly, they want to make sure I can stay healthy throughout the season. Renteria has talked quite a bit with me about being healthy and if my arm is bothering me at all, let him know and I will take a day off from throwing.
I have just had some inflammation and cortisone shots to kill that and it was getting my shoulder ready to throw again. The rehab wasn't doing table work but was more doing a throwing program and working slowly into getting back into throwing again.
How frustrating has this shoulder business been for you and what is the prospect of it moving forward through your career.
Jordan Pickens: It is frustrating but it is pretty much going to be the way it is going to be. If I am going to play baseball my shoulder is going to be a factor. I just have to take care of it.
With me it is not so much one throw. It is the mechanics were pretty bad when I came from spring training. I actually got together with (pitching coach Dave) Rajisch and worked on my mechanics and worked on staying closed – keeping my lower half closed. I think it is more on myself to be consistent because it is not going to be one throw that does it. It is going to be multiple throws that do it, trying to do too much which creates bad mechanics.
Is it common for a pitching coach to work with an outfielder?
Jordan Pickens: It is not common at all.
What did you do this past offseason to prepare. You were knocked out of the lineup in the final two weeks of the season last year.
Jordan Pickens: I didn't really get on the field until the middle of January. Last offseason I got on the field in December and I think I wore myself out by the time the midway point came in the season. There was some stuff during the season where I got sidetracked and it was tough to stay focused.
Is there a possibility that you worked out too hard in preparation for the season?
Jordan Pickens: Right now it is not hurting and when I missed the first part of the season it wasn't hurting. I just had some inflammation in there. Any inflammation that gets in there that is a significant amount I am going to need some time and medicine to take care of because my shoulder is pieced together. Even when I am lifting it doesn't bother me. I don't feel any weakness. I lift accordingly so I don't put any stress on it. I don't think it has anything to do with too much.
You began the year playing a lot as the designated hitter. Is it tough to stay in tune with the game when you are in that role?
Jordan Pickens: It depends. I try and stay pretty focused on the game and that is how you have to go with it. Even if you are sitting on the bench – those are your teammates out there. You are playing a game but you are going to battle with them.
I would rather play in the field, without a doubt.
How has the timing on your swing been through the beginning of the process and where is it today?
Jordan Pickens: The timing – even when I first got in, the timing on the fastball was there but I was jumping at other pitches and I was rushing myself and doing a lot of things that you can't do. You have to relax, stay slow and go right after the ball. Any breaking stuff I was really lunging out towards. I had to be a guess hitter instead of seeing the ball and recognizing. Expecting one pitch ahead in the count and if I don't get it – don't worry about it.

Sarah's Phoenix: Scouting (part 2)
Sarah had calmed down from her initial annoyance with Mathew when he returned. He was carrying two rabbits by their ears and threw one at Sarah. She caught it and looked at him.
'Skin it,' he said.
'I don't know how,' Sarah replied.
Mathew looked at her startled. 'You can pin a grown man to the ground, but you can't skin a rabbit?' Sarah nodded. He looked at her puzzled, 'Are you here solely for Jason?'
Sarah looked at Mathew for a moment. She knew Jason had warned her not to say much. Then again she hadn't said much even to Jason. Sarah was tempted to tell him yes, until it dawned on her what he meant. 'No,' she said finally, 'I'm here because I have nowhere else to go and Jason has kindly taken me in.'
Mathew snorted, 'As a lover I bet,' he said under his breath, but Sarah heard him.
'No, not as a lover.' Sarah held the rabbit uncertainly. 'As friends, and if it bothers you that much, try to think of me as one of the boys.' He snorted again and started to skin his rabbit. Sarah smiled. 'You want to show me how to do that, or you want to skin this one too?'
Skinning a rabbit, she found, wasn't much different from dissecting one. Sarah still grimaced slightly as she prepared the rabbit. Animal surgery hadn't been her strong point in Vet school. Her grimacing made Mathew smile as he showed her how to gut it and put it on the spit for roasting.
He laughed, 'One would think you've never handled a dead animal before.'
'Not to prepare as food,' she stated causing him to do a double take of her.
'Why else would you handle a dead animal?' he asked and Sarah could see he was honestly confused. Suddenly Sarah felt overwhelmed and out of place. She should have told Jason this wouldn't work. She didn't know if she could take the culture shock. When Jason got back she'd ask him to take her home.
The next few days passed slowly. Mathew brought back fresh game everyday which they skinned and cooked to replenish supplies. Sarah would often go into the woods when he did, searching for herbs. Sometimes she dried them, other times she'd use them for cooking.
Five days after the pairs had left, they began coming back in. Sarah was out gathering, when Jason found her. 'You're back.' She was surprised and relieved; releived that she would no longer be alone with Mathew.
He nodded. 'You did not have any problems with Mathew did you?'
'Problems?' she said, 'No. But,' Sarah straightened up, 'I don't belong here Jay.'
'Nonsense, it has only been a few days.'
'Only a few days?" Sarah felt hysterics welling up and she took a deep breath. "Mathew keeps looking at me as if I'm not from this world.' She looked away and then back at Jason. 'And I'm not. I," she swallowed a lump, "I think I should try to go home.'
'No!' Jason said emphatically, causing Sarah to start. 'Look,' he said more gently, placing a hand on her shoulder. 'When I brought you here, you were sick. I had no idea how to heal you and would have returned you to your world. But I when I brought you from it, it was nothing like your descriptions. There was nothing but a wasteland. Whatever happened killed everything, the world felt dead.' Sarah blinked back tears, somehow she'd known that. Known she couldn't go back. Sarah turned from Jason. 'I'm sorry," he said, "I should have taken the camp watch."
'Could you have?' she looked back at him before bending down to pick more mint.
She felt Jason gaze at her. He sighed. 'No, I suppose not.' Sarah stood, uncertain of her feelings and continued her gathering. Jason followed her. As she bent down to examine a plant, he spoke again. "I'm sorry this hasn't turned out the way I'd hoped.'
Sarah looked up at him, half smiling. 'How had you hoped it would go?' she asked, wondering what was going on in his mind.
Jason gave her a rueful smile. 'Well,' he looked away into the woods, 'I'd always thought I'd rescue you from your world and bring you home in triumph.' He looked back at Sarah, 'I guess every boy wants to be a Knight in shining armor.'
Sarah laughed. Her eyes scanned the forest floor. "And every girl wants to be rescued, but life is hardly like that." She looked at him with another half smile before moving on. 'You know,' she continued after a sideways glance told her Jason was still there, 'Matt thought we were lovers.'
'He would,' Jason sighed, 'he didn't try anything did he?'
'No.' Sarah saw Jason frown and she smiled. 'Nothing I couldn't handle Jay.' Sarah turned back toward camp.

Three years ago I gave a birthday party for my husband here. Food got mixed reviews. My grandson got mussels that hadn't been cleaned properly and were full of... More

... and I wanted to have a look. I bought some honey in a traditional Bulgarian pottery jar, and Rosemary bought three little jars of honey as a gift for her mother. And then it was finally back to the hotel. I sat out on my balcony in the sun to read for a while. I got more reading done in 30 minutes than I have over the entire trip!
Happy hour was at 5:00, and everyone brought either wine or food. Someone brought rose-flavored Turkish Delight. I ...

... tomb, this time original. It was at the top of a small hill and slightly bigger than the first tomb we saw. This one had a column right in the middle of the corridor, and a larger but less decorative burial chamber. I'm still not quite sure who was buried there, but it was a man and his "favorite" wife, who would have been ritually killed after his death so that they could be together.
We arrived in Nesebar (pronounced neh-SEB-r) on the Black Sea at ...
The Great State of Bulgaria!
We entered Bulgaria with the anticipation of better roads. This anticipation was fulfilled.
Democracy came to Bulgaria in 1990, being a Soviet ally for almost 40 years prior, however, to our naive eyes, born into a democratic world, it seems no one told the Bulgarians!
The remnants of the soviet communist influences weigh heavily on this land, especially in the architecture.
Borderline chaos and Black Sea
... and cold Fanta orange. That was a far more sociable experience. As night fell, the bus behind us left his lights on so I could see to read my book. This was a more regimented affair. Apart from anything there was no space for anyone,let alone a bus, to drive to the front of the queue and pay some cash to go through ahead of their rightful turn. Even one or two cars filtering in were met with mixed reactions – tolerance or aggression. Fortunately ...
The Attack
... least the beer was good. Someone then had a "great" idea to get rakia. I was done after the first shot, but the boys looked like they liked it for some reason.
Leaving the town right before midnight, they got a bottle of rakia, I got a bottle of gin and we spent 3 more hours sitting on the beach, smoking shisha, playing drinking games. Of course they drank the whole bottle. Do I even need to say I had to drive the next ...

It has been a little while since we've seen any truly egregious automotive design knock-offs from China, but clearly the country's stylists have been saving two of the craziest for the recent Shandong EV Expo. The shapes of the Jinma JMW2200 (pictured above) and a prototype from the company Videoev (inset) definitely make no attempt to hide their influences.
The JMW2200 looks like what might happen if a BMW i3 is saved from a car crusher midway through the job. The nose blatantly steals the German brand's kidney grille, and even the burnt orange and black color scheme on one of them comes directly from the European EV. According to Car News China, the name isn't helping the comparison, either. Jinma means Golden Horse in Chinese, and BMW is localized to Baoma, which means Treasure Horse.
Power comes from a four-horsepower electric motor and a lead-acid battery offering a 75-mile range, according to Car News China. The model is cheap, though, at 24,998 yuan (about $4,030).
While the JMW220 limits its inspiration to the i3, the Videoev prototype borrows liberally from multiple automakers. The design alone is a blatant rip-off of a Volkswagen Beetle. Although, the shape isn't identical because the designers include an extra set of doors to create a very bizarre five-door hatchback. The company's logo also looks a lot like the Nissan emblem, but inside of it, the typeface is nearly indistinguishable from that which Volvo uses.
There's no interior yet, but Car New China indicates lead-acid batteries would be stored under a rear bench seat. Production reportedly might begin in 2016 at a price of around 100,000 yuan ($16,120). It's highly worth clicking through both galleries to check out these copied designs for all of their odd details.
