In a secret war waged in worlds both virtual and real, the fates of nations depend on the definitive weapon. And that weapon is knowledge knowledge to die for. . . .
The race is heating up between the U.S. and China to develop a quantum computer with infinite capabilities to crack any enemy's codes, yet keep secure its own secrets. The government that achieves this goal will win a crucial prize. No other computer system will be safe from the reach of this master machine.
Dr. Jaron Kwok was working for the U.S. government to build such a computer. But in a posh hotel in Hong Kong, a Chinese policewoman sifts through the bizarre, ashlike remains of what's left of the doctor. With the clock ticking, alliances will be forged and there are those who will stop at nothing to discover what the doctor knew. As the search for answers intensifies, it becomes chillingly clear that the quantum computer both sides so desperately want will be more powerful, more dangerous than anyone could have ever imagined.
For in the twenty-first century, machines become gods, gods become machines, and the once-impossible now lies within reach. The key to unlimited knowledge will create the ultimate weapon of mass destruction or humanity's last chance to save itself. . . .

"Hendrix's sentences have punch, his plots have points, and he knows his science--what more can one ask of cutting edge science fiction?"
—Gregory Benford, physicist and Nebula Award-winning author of Timescape
"One of the very best novelists writing in science fiction today."
—Kim Stanley Robinson, Hugo and Nebula award-winning author of The Years of Rice and Salt
"Stephen Hawking meets Tom Clancy! Quantum physics and international intrigue combine in the best novel yet by the finest new SF writer of the last decade. Howard V. Hendrix's THE LABYRINTH KEY is the book everyone will be talking about this year, not just in science-fiction circles, but also in the halls of power in Washington."
—Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Hominids
"With the hip fecundity of Neal Stephenson, the speculative acuity of John Brunner, and the suspense-building audacity of John LeCarre, Howard Hendrix fashions a science-fiction thriller that's truly twenty-first-century in its tone, subject matter and style. Blending metaphysics with quantum physics, THE LABYRINTH KEY explores a possible future fusion of magic and science that is truly revolutionary. Hopping from exotic real-world locales to even more outré virtualities, this tale will keep the reader guessing till its climax."
—Paul DiFilippo, author of Fuzzy Dice and A Mouthful of Tongues
"If Robert Ludlum or Eric Ambler had written a science fiction novel, then it might have resembled THE LABYRINTH KEY. An intriguing thriller, it's also first-rate speculation: a masterful blend of genres. If you searching for thought-provoking novel, this shouldn't be missed."
—Alan Steele, Hugo Award-winning author of Chronospace
—KIM STANLEY ROBINSON, award-winning author of the Mars Trilogy
"One could almost imagine that some of the action sequences of this novel were written by Tom Clancy, while some of the scientific discussions remind one of Gregory Benford, and two sequences involving hiking in the Sierra Nevadas could have been written by Kim Stanley Robinson. The past few years have spawned several other novels of cryptology and secret histories, most notably Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, but Hendrix has been perhaps the most successful incorporating such concepts into a hard-SF context."–Off the Shelf, SciFi.com

Dispersion Devices (RDD or Dirty Bomb)
(Selected information from Are
You Ready?,
Terrorist use of an RDD—often called "dirty
nuke" or "dirty bomb"—is
considered far more likely than use of
a nuclear explosive device. An RDD combines
a conventional explosive device—such
as a bomb—with radioactive material.
It is designed to scatter dangerous and
sub-lethal amounts of radioactive material
over a general area. Such RDDs appeal to
terrorists because they require limited
technical knowledge to build and deploy
compared to a nuclear device. Also, the
radioactive materials in RDDs are widely
used in medicine, agriculture, industry,
and research, and are easier to obtain
than weapons grade uranium or plutonium.
The primary purpose of terrorist use of
an RDD is to cause psychological fear and
economic disruption. Some devices could
cause fatalities from exposure to radioactive
materials. Depending on the speed at which
the area of the RDD detonation was evacuated
or how successful people were at sheltering-in-place,
the number of deaths and injuries from
an RDD might not be substantially greater
than from a conventional bomb explosion.
size of the affected area and the level
of destruction caused by an RDD would
depend on the sophistication and size of
the conventional bomb, the type of radioactive
material used, the quality and quantity
of the radioactive material, and the local
meteorological conditions—primarily
wind and precipitation. The area affected
could be placed off-limits to the public
for several months during cleanup efforts.
Take Protective Measures
Before an RDD Event
There is no way of knowing how much warning
time there will be before an attack by
terrorists using an RDD, so being prepared
in advance and knowing what
to do and when is important. Take the same
protective measures you would for
fallout resulting from a nuclear blast.
an RDD Event
While the explosive blast will be immediately
obvious, the presence of radiation
will not be known until trained personnel
with specialized equipment are on the
scene. Whether you are indoors or outdoors,
home or at work, be extra cautious. It would
be safer to assume radiological contamination
has occurred—particularly
in an urban setting or near other likely
terrorist targets—and take the proper
As with any radiation, you want to avoid
or limit exposure. This is particularly
true of inhaling radioactive dust that
results from the explosion. As you seek
shelter from any location (indoors or outdoors)
and there is visual dust or other contaminants
in the air, breathe though the cloth of
your shirt or coat to limit your exposure.
If you manage to avoid breathing radioactive

After an RDD Event
After finding safe shelter, those who may
have been exposed to radioactive material
should decontaminate themselves. To do
this, remove and bag your clothing (and
isolate the bag away from you and others),
and shower thoroughly with soap and
water. Seek medical attention after officials

from an RDD event could affect a wide area,
depending on the amount of conventional
explosives used, the quantity and type
of radioactive material released, and meteorological

rates vary, but radiation from an RDD will

a potentially larger localized concentration
of radioactive material.

I lost my father this past March. It was very sudden and I am still trying to process it/heal. (maybe this belongs in "grief/loss"? But wait for it...). Losing my father, I realized, made me miss my childhood. And the fact that I am in my early forties and starting to feel like I am aging compounds this feeling of nostalgia. In April, around the time of my dad's birthday/second memorial service, I started thinking about a family that I had spent some time with as a child. My parents had sent me to their home out of the country when I was 11 for a couple of weeks after the daughter had spent a couple of weeks with us. When I was 15 I spent a couple of more weeks with them. I loved that family. I corresponded with the daughter for many years. While I was staying with them, I bonded with one of the brothers. I had a pretty big crush on him, but it was always cloaked in friendship, and nothing ever happened. He was a couple of years older and was always very attentive and flirty, but he and I never kept in touch. I'd say the last time I had contact with them is about 25 or 30 years ago.
Well, so I was thinking about this family. I googled him (he has the most unusual name of the family, and to be honest, I have very fond memories of him so was curious about him) and I found him. I emailed him to tell him that my father had passed away (our fathers were friends but had lost touch). Turns out his father had died a couple of weeks earlier. He put me back in touch with his sister, and she and I have been back in touch with regularity. The surprising thing is that I am in touch with HIM now, with as much if not more regularity. Those first couple of weeks he was constantly checking in to see how I was doing. I don't think anybody else was as attentive.
I guess I don't know what to make of it. And there is a multi-part issue. At some point this constant communication will die out, but it's too important to me now, and I don't think I am able to let it. Being in touch with the both of them is the only thing that has distracted me from the loss of my father. I know that at some point I need to let go...of them, and of my dad. Am I being weird? I'm wondering how THEY must perceive this. We will go everyday with communication. (I email with her, I text with him). It will fizzle because I will feel like I am initiating too much (and to be clear, even though I do most of the initiating, they are always very quick to respond). Then eventually, after a couple of days (I think the longest it has gone is maybe a week), one of them will initiate and we will be back to almost daily contact. I'm not like this in my other friendships/relationships. I don't keep track, I don't get insecure. But this kind of has me thrown for a loop.
At first I was worried that maybe I was starting to have feelings for the brother again. Deep-seeded 16 year old girl feelings. To be clear, I am married with three girls. He is married with two boys. He's been away on vacation with his family for the past two weeks and I haven't had any contact with him. And I've already decided I'm not initiating anything anymore. Just in case. ALthough the thought of not being in touch with him makes me sick to my stomach.
But I realized that I am just as "weird" about my communications with the sister. I think something about being in touch with someone from so long ago just has me on my heels a bit.
And it also makes me realize my life is not where I want it to be :(. I gloss over a lot of things when I talk to them. It has made me think about the changes I need to make so that I can be proud of how my life has turned out. For example, I stay at home with my kids, which is fine, but we are financially struggling and if I went back to work (I have a masters degree. Not that there are any jobs out there, esp considering I've been out of the work force for over 10 years) it would help enormously. We'd be able to travel (something this family does extensively). So it has made me reevaluate some things...
This is a NOVEL. If anybody got to the end of it, kudos to you. I don't even know what I'm looking for. Maybe someone's perspective on this new/old friendship? My husband knows I am in touch with them but I don't think he realizes how often I am in touch with the brother. WHich is maybe a danger sign in itself...
Thank you for responding. It helps to have an outside perspective. You make it sound so logical. I've been feeling for a long while that my life has not played out the way I thought it was going to, but I just haven't had the kick in the pants to do anything about it. Reconnecting with them, if nothing else, makes me want to actually make some changes. If I was smart I would harness that while it was it full effect.
The whole family has kids that are somewhere around the age of my kids, and there has been some talk of recreating our childhood experience of having their kids spend some time here, and mine there. And also some talk of a joint family vacation with the sister. Just talk, nothing defined.
You're right, in a year's time this may all be a blip on the screen. But at this point they are so intertwined in the story of my father's passing, that it makes me almost grief-stricken to even think that I may lose touch with them again. But if I'm honest with myself, I do need to make a break from the brother. Nothing good can come of it. I feel very indebted to him bcs he was a big comfort, but I'm afraid of emotional lines getting crossed (on my part). I would never "DO" anything about it, except be miserable. And I need to not be miserable.
yes ... seen from the outside, it's a question of "taking all that can benefit you in your present state " from that renewed relationship .... yet not going "too deep" (but in the early grieving stages, that's hard to achieve yet ...)
"if i was smart ...." not easy to work things out for the best always when in the middle of it (ask me how i know ! LOL)
remind yourself that you are doing the best you can with your present state of mind & feelings & the grieving stage you are at .
about emotional lines being crossed ... it takes two to Tangoe + at times, even with long standing friends, there's some un-balance in their respective "needs", you go through stages in life when you have more needs or less needs of using friends as "crutches" => could you set yourself a time limit or even several times limits (in 3 months time, in 6 months time etc .... i remember when i grived for my father i litterally had some physical symptoms on the 3 months mark and then felt clearly going through stages at key dates later on in that year ....)
and then "give yourself permission" to experience all the deep feelings you are afraid of whilst knowing that you made a deal with yourself & that by such and such pre-determined time, you'll be trying to be back to what used to be normal beforehand ...
you could journal about it even, that could make it easier to live through ...
just a suggestion ....
Sigh. Yes, I have been journaling. But I think it is making it worse. WHen I lost my father my journal entries are all about that loss. I can't even go back and read it. Too raw. After making contact with this family (the brother especially) almost ALL of my entries are about the brother. It's ridiculous. And I think journaling somehow makes it all more intense. At first it was just the thrill of being back in touch with him. And how receptive he was. Very validating, esp bcs I was never sure whether our flirtation was mostly in my mind or if I had made it into something that it wasn't. But he's referred to it a couple of times, and something about the thrill of that feeds my inner child. We have had hours of text conversations. He's never inappropriate. If anything I feel him pulling back. For example, I'm pretty sure he's back from vacation, but I haven't heard from him yet. And that's ok. It just makes me realize I'm putting more importance on this than he is and that too is painful. I think the other thing that is making it feel intense is that I can't really talk to anyone about it...just this limited conversation is helping diffuse it and put it in perspective.
I think I'm scared of losing the distraction and going back to grieving my father. Losing my dad still hits me like a ton of bricks sometimes. But much less bcs of all of this "nonsense". I know it sounds weird, but I sometimes wonder if my father helped orchestrate this bcs he knew it would get me away from how sad I was feeling.
I think keeping in touch with the sister will have to be enough for me. But she's on vacation too, so I'm stuck in this kind of limbo. And she's very busy with work etc, so even though we are in touch very regularly, I need to let go of the regularity of that at some point too. UGH.
ETA: Just got a picture from the sister from her vacation. It's a salve somehow. See how weird this is? My two best childhood friends (that I have stayed in touch with almost all my life) are both away (not together) on vacation...I have no idea when they come home. I've been in touch with them while they've been away, but very sporadically and I have no idea when my last communication was with them. Nor am I worried about who initiated the last text or who should text/write next.
don't want to appear unfeeling/inappropriate (since you say you have been journaling already)but was thinking ... if you need the distraction from the griving process , what about "using the material" of your written exchange to write a short novel of some sort,... that way, it's not "in real life", yet it helps you 'use" what it is that makes you feel better from the interaction ..but at a distance somehow . ...

Montana rancher testifies at Denver hearing on behalf of EPA air pollution rules
Mark Fix, a Tongue River rancher and Past Chair of the Northern Plains Resource Council, called new EPA rules to curb carbon pollution 30% by 2030 a "good step in the right direction."
Fix, a member of the Northern Plains Coal Task Force, testified on Tuesday at a regional hearing in Denver about the need to address climate change in order to protect agriculture in Montana.
"There's things out there we need to develop — the hydro, the wind, the solar, a lot of the renewables," Fix told The Associated Press just before giving his testimony. The EPA rules are a "good step in the right direction."
During his testimony, Fix said, "Climate change alters the weather, and those of us in agriculture have to deal with the weather every day. The weather can make or break us. If we want agriculture as we know it to continue to thrive, it is an economic and cultural imperative to deal with climate change."
Fix was talking about recent extreme weather events in southeastern Montana, from tornadoes and storms to the 1.1 million-acre wildfires that ravaged the area in 2012. These events cost ranchers miles of fence, hundreds of livestock, and even some homes were lost. Fix said he has witnessed on his ranch this "global weirding" of tornadoes, flooding, and other extreme weather.

But the big thing is we're human; just folks, as a man in the grillroom said one night.
They paid no attention to us ladies, but made for the grillroom.
"God knows," said Garry and heartily wished he'd kept the grillroom verdict to himself.
Will you lunch with me here in the grillroom at two o'clock?
I was standing in the hall when Ben led him tenderly into the grillroom with two fingers.
I'll get something at the grillroom about eleven; a steak, I guess.
Afterward there was a late supper in a grillroom, with champagne, and Kernan at the height of his complacency.
It is not too late, however, to tiptoe to the grillroom and offer a toast to our young sister of the snows.'
Him and Jeff Tuttle went to the grillroom twice in ten minutes.
The whole party ran into the grillroom and chased Jack Frost away with hot chocolate and cakes.

Volume 9, Issue 2: Disputatio
Sugartoes Wilson and Bubba Jones
Is the end of the world just weeks away? Which length of a weekend does the Old Testament mandate? Why do punctuation marks marginalize antinomians? And how did middle Norwegian influence Biblical law? How heavy was John Owen? Please stop me.
In the following interchange, Sugartoes Wilson and Bubba Jones discuss the relationship between something and something else. Sugartoes Wilson (M.B.S. Old Jake's Bible College) is founder and editor of Nachoes for the World theological journal and Director of the Timesetters Society of Orange County. His biography, Call Me Sugar, is due out before the end of the world. Bubba Jones (B.S., Malibu Junior College) served as a missionary to Hawaii repeatedly, and he once renounced the faith to become a pastor in the Anglican church. He owns a tannish border collie.
SW: Careful students of Scripture have long recognized that the conclusion of the twentieth century will bring an end to the history of the world as we know it. The Bible tells us most emphatically that from God's perspective a thousand years is as a day (2 Pet. 3:8). The world was created six thousand years ago--which clearly gives us six days! This leaves us with a missing day in order to complete the full "week" of human history. That day, that last one thousand years, is clearly referred to in the last book of the Bible--Revelation (Rev. 20:4). When the first six thousand years have expired (just months away!), the new day will dawn.
BBJ: This is a vat of nonsense. I count three informal fallacies and a gross evasion of my previous criticism. The weakest part of your argument is, is . . . okay, okay, I give up. I know you're right. I'm sorry I ever thought otherwise. I have no idea what I'm talking about. Look, I've torn my own shirt in shame. Teach me, master. Ha! That's what you want to hear isn't it, editor-boy. The fact is that some Old Testament references to weekend point to two-day weekends (Dt. 34:14) and others to three-day weekends (Lev. 27:35). Given that the world is on the three-day weekend system (Hos. 4:20), why are Chinese restaurants closed on Mondays? This is a clear counterexample to your conclusion.
SW: I would like to point out that your sentence which begins, "That's what you want. . ." is cast in the form of an interrogative, but the customary form of punctuation which is used to indicate an interrogative is missing from the end of that sentence. I had supposed when first approached about this debate that it was to be a debate between scholars. So ha! yourself. You say that you count three informal fallacies. Given your prowess with punctuation, it frankly surprises me that you were able to count that high. Moreover, it grieves me to think that, although we could be debating the important subject of eschatology, you have chosen to drag us down into personal attacks.
BBJ: MIT Research shows people who challenge the legitimacy of personal attacks often don't have parents who were married. And as to the interrogative, your grammatical shoes are far too tight. Here I was celebrating my creativity and freedom from Western punctuation oppression, and you bit. Your latent legalism finally shows through. We're not under law; we're under grace. Speaking of oppression, why is it that you call this a "debate" and yet you get to both open and close the discussio?. That's hardly fair, and my people are personally wounded by such restrictions.
SW: If you and your people are personally wounded by such things, then you ought to learn to cope. We are under grace not law, remember? I have frequently noticed over the years that those in the grip of antinomian ravings are the first to yell and holler if someone violates the law with regard to them. You, sir, have done little or nothing to change my perception. Returning to the debate (remember the debate?), I insist that you respond with an intelligible argument. I proved in my first, unanswered paragraph that we are in the Last Months. It is probably futile to ask a punctuation-free-thinker what he thinks of that, but I still do.
BBJ: Actually, your first argument fails because it equivocates on "weekend," as shown above. But apart from this, your argument assumes that human history is only a week long, when in fact it's seven weeks long--a jubilee (Lev. 25:8). In middle Norwegian, jubilee meant "history-is-not-a-week-long" (cf. Thayersven, p. 678). Though middle Norwegians couldn't pronounce the "j" sound because of an overabundance of herring, recent work has shown that ubilee at least meant "history-is-not-a-fortnight." And on this whole subject, haven't you read John Owen's very, very, long treatise? It weighs about six pounds. Your sound-bite syllogism would just crumple under it. And you call yourself a Protestant?
SW: I read Owen's work a couple of times when I was in junior high, and, frankly, the man was a featherweight. Not unlike a few others around here I could mention. His later work did have some potential, but he had the misfortune to have written before the groundbreaking insights and systematics of Benny Hinn. I could develop this further, but I want to pass on to your laughable assertions concerning the legitimacy of drawing theological conclusions from the original Norwegian. Every passing student back at my Bible college knew how to read the Bible in the original King James English. Perhaps you can't follow the thousand-years-is-as-a-day argument because of your previously unmasked difficulties with math?
BBJ: You're still missing the point. Sure Owen himself might have been a featherweight, but his book weighed six pounds. Why can't you focus on the issues? No good argument can weigh less than six pounds. I've included a five megabyte HTML version of the book as an attachment to this email. I know I made a solemn commitment to finish this stupid debate, but they didn't tell me it would be with someone as unloving and narrow as you. Whatever happened to unity, healing, acceptance, and forgiveness you fat-headed jerk? Learn to love a little, you fascist bigot. I'm out of here. I'm hanging up this phone.
SW: But we're not talking on the phone. We're exchanging email. I do not know why you are having trouble with such simple concepts. Do you have trouble tying your shoes? Too many moving parts? But back to the crux! I am extremely grateful for your last paragraph which, if I might be so bold, weighs less than six pounds. In case the significance of this passes you by, you have said that no good argument weighs less than six pounds. Your argument weighs less than six pounds. Therefore, and I think our readers will see this coming, your argument is a stinky one. I think this about wraps it up. Q.E.D. But we still have space left.
BBJ: Would you believe me if I told you that I wrote it on a cantaloupe? I'm offended by your use of "stinky." I see you're insisting on having the last word. Does that make you feel manly?
SW: Yes. And I'm hungry too.
BBJ: You're probably an animal killer too.
SW: If we're not supposed to eat animals, then why were they made out of meat?
BBJ: I'm leaving. Let go of my hand.
SW: This is still email.
BBJ: Please let me have the last word.
SW: Okay.
BBJ: Okay?
SW: Sure.

Hi Guys,
I do not understand why do you worry about admin themes this much because waste a time, no body looks at your admin page even if you had a best admin design in the world so why can you not add and create more xhtml, wordpress themes.
Please please stop this waste admin page design and show us some good design, themes etc..
As a buyer never looking to pay for admin themes by the way
Altinkum, you never know when you will need an administration skin =) I did mine for I needed first, and then put on sale hehe
But no worries, I'm sure once all of us are fed up with these duplicate skins (which is close because: how different can an administration be, how many alternates, right?), we will definitely see more alternative categories.
@altinkum – you are one buyer out of many. I hadn't done any but that is becuase I didn't think there would be such a market for them but there obviously is. You said you want some good designs but that designing the admin area is waste of time which doesn't make sense. The client themselves appreciate being "wowed" also. If there is a market for something why wouldn't someone take advantage of it?
Yes but if you are a designer, please come on how many people will see your admin theme and made a comment.
Internet and web users will see the site design, theme no body give attention because you got great admin theme and l dont think any body cares about admin theme
millions a scripts out on the web, how many site has a admin.themes much as you got here, waste a time because drops quality of theme forest and not interesting like used to be.
Thanks for your comments anyway
I started with admin themes because there are more chance of making sales in admin themes then any others. I bet it's one of the themes that are only available at TF.
True, there are too many admin themes released recently. I do hope that more variations would be available in the future.
Well I'm planning to make a company theme next!
Well I am one of those lucky guys having at least 2 clients that will pay good amount of $ just to have a less crappy looking administration skin for their shopping site/cmses/web software.
So yeah, there is a big huge hidden need for admin skins. They're not really for they are needed, more like "why not we have a nicer looking panel?"
This niche will soon be filled, I predict.
C'mon people, soon customers will be ranting about too many portfolios, blog skins and vanilla board themes. After few weeks skins for Joomla will be a subject of rants, then even corporate themes and finally the judgement day will come and we will all die!
Ykhym, what I mean is people are creating themes that sells, you don't have to buy an admin theme, but as long as there will be clients who are buying such themes, more of them will arrive to our market.
I'm sure admin skins have a huge market amongst web developers who are awesome with PHP /ASP/Ruby etc. but are terrible at design. It's important to carry on a great user experience through to the backend of your site—look at how much time WordPress have spent tweaking and overhauling their admin design!
Personally, I'm busy coding my own CMS and I needed an admin-theme just to make it look nice until I get time to design my own – so I purchased one of the fantastic designs from here.
I don't care if anyone disagrees with me but I have experienced first hand that when clients login, they like nice backend templates as well. There is a market for them, and thats why you see people buying/selling them.

In case you didn't know, the economy still sucks. Everyone's affected, from big business all the way down to the individual. But there's opportunity to be found, particularly in small business. The brands that are losing the least are the brands that have the least to lose. Seems weird, but it makes sense.
Whether you're a core retailer, or a major player in the skate shoe game, you're probably considered a "small business" (generally refers to "under 100 employees"). And one thing there's no shortage of is "experts" that want to tell you how you can do better. A simple Google search unearths a dozen, easy. A lot of the ideas in these articles really don't apply to our little corner of the universe, but maybe some of them do. The problem with "businessey" articles in general is that they seem cold and unfeeling, and discuss things like layoffs without regard for the people getting laid off. One of the things that makes our industry so desirable is that it shuns convention and seems a little friendlier than the rest of the world.
So here are a few principles pulled from these articles. Maybe they apply, maybe they don't. That's up to you.
1. Organize and Automate: One of the pitfalls of the small business is that it's easy to cut corners. An article by Denise O'Berry shows some interesting small-business poll results.
* "66 percent of small businesses still handwrite invoices, use word processing programs and spreadsheets, or simply don't have a standardized method."
* "Nearly 20 percent of small business owners admit to forgetting to invoice or follow up on an overdue invoice. Over 50 percent of these respondents admit that they are simply "not organized" and "lack an automated system for creating and tracking invoices."
The survey was conducted in October 2008, and included 751 small businesses
2. Adapt: A Wall Street Journal interview with business consultant Victor Cheng discusses the advantages a small business has when it comes to adaptation. "The big mistake in a recession is to not realize that things need to change and that they need to be flexible and adapt quickly. Unfortunately, bad news has this huge ability to paralyze people," advises Cheng.
3. Reduce Overhead: This one's fairly obvious and pretty much mandatory, and I'm willing to bet anyone reading this has already reevaluated costs and spending. In an article called How To Survive This Economic Crisis, Small Business columnist Jan Norman lists ways to cut costs: "Review company expenses starting with the largest and work down. Renegotiate the lease if the landlord is willing. Monitor all employee expenses. Ask employees for suggestions for improvement. Evaluate staffing. Consider temporary, flexible, reduced hours for employees. Lay off when necessary. Keep your employees informed. Review all salaries, including owners, to see if they can be reduced." No one likes to lay people off any more than they like to be laid off, So it's interesting to note that Norman suggests listening to suggestions from employees, and keep them informed, in addition to the "L" word. In fact, cutting staff too drastically can cause your business even more problems down the road, like burning out the employees you keep.
4. Customer Satisfaction: Everyone's got customers. Retailers are scrutinizing their buys, and ordering smarter. Brands are scrambling to reconnect and solidify relationships with retailers to be part of that smart order. From 11 Ways Small Business Can Survive in Today's Economy: "Work on retaining the customer base that you have built up with follow-through, good customer service, and quality control."
5. Be Visible: There's a great article by Havi Brooks called It's Not The Economy, wherein she warns about scapegoating the economy for poor business planning. Brooks explains that, when times are good, an "invisible" store can do well, but when times aren't so good, that hard-to-find place will suffer, while the well-advertised business will thrive. "The good economy was camouflaging everything that they [invisible store] weren't doing."

Almare Gelato
(510) 649 - 1888
2170 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, California 94704
ALMARE gelato italiano is a family owned gelato shop in the heart of downtown Berkeley. Our gelato is made fresh each morning in our gelato "lab" located on our store premises. We use only the freshest of ingredients, patronizing local food suppliers such as Monterey Market and Berkeley Bowl for strawberries, lemons, peaches, grapefruits and other seasonal fruits. We implement a traditional process of gelato making that we learned from our great uncle Dino del Favaro in Italy, who made gelato for over sixty years in his hometown in Reggio Emilia, Italy. He taught us that true artisan gelato takes time to make, time for the ingredients to blend together before they are frozen. He also taught us never to cut corners with artificial powders or chemicals that better the appearance of the gelato gelato flavors but compromise the flavor. Our gelato making technique affirms Berkeley's established tradition of authentic, fine food. ALMARE is Italian for "by the sea." We take our inspiration from the beautiful beaches along the Italian coast… Capri, Taormina, Sorrento, Tropea, Venezia, Riccione, Cinque Terre… and the tradition of eating a gelato on a hot summer day. Come in for a scoop soon!

There are regular shifts… then, there are my shifts. I'm The Closer – the Mariano Rivera of my profession. I've always been The Closer. I've often hoped I wouldn't always be, but that's not how it works out.
I've just about always worked with a large group of bartenders at sizeable bars. There is a pretty big bar schedule to juggle. Managers have to do their best to find equity between: girls, guys, full-timers, part-timers, drama queens, the quiet guy, actors, day gig holders, BFFs who happen to work there, senior barkeeps, newbies, speedy bartenders, shitty bartenders, and a host of other variables. As you can imagine, it's not easy. I've had to do it in years past and I don't envy them one bit.

Han Dong, Computer Science
Computer Visualization of Optical Network Behavior
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Yung-Jui (Ray) Chen
Expected Graduation Date: May 2010
The goal is to design and code a visualization program to be utilized to study the optical network behavior under the Generalized Multi-protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) management model. The network will be empowered with the Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology. The WDM technology allows a single fiber-optic connection between two nodes to carry multiple independent signal channels using different wavelengths. This allows the nodes to have a much greater capacity in communication. Furthermore each channel can be routed through intermediary nodes via its unique wavelength without electronic equipment intervention. This is called wavelength routing. The fiber optics network is a collection of edge nodes and core nodes connected by a fiber optic channel. The edge node collects data packets from users, groups them intelligently into wavelength channels and sends them through the network to reach destination users. The core nodes routes traffic through wavelength routing or regroups the incoming traffic from different sources and sends them out on new wavelength channels. The network research is to study and identify the proper management model and control parameters. The intention of the visualization program is to show how the traffics are arranged and are traveling through the network and to provide statistical display regarding the simulation at each edge and core node. The program shall be written in Java and will utilize two graphical packages, one is called Prefuse while the other is called Profusians.

How To Correct Too Much Play at Trailer Winch
Trailering > How To Correct Too Much Play at Trailer Winch
Challenges with trailering abound during the boating season. This month, with the help of our experienced iboats Boating Forums members, we address the issue of having too much play left when you have winched your boat onto the trailer.
A forum member wrote, Just bought a used 22 foot deep V center console and took it out last night. When I tried to load it on the trailer I winched it tight to the bow stop roller and when I pulled it out of the water the bow eye was approx 6 inches away from the stop. I tried this several times with the same result even after winching as hard as I could and trying several trailer in the water positions with the same result. Finally got tired of the mess, fired up the engine and ran her up like a bass boat then winched tight, pulled out of the water and this time it settled back only an inch or two. The transom is past the end on the bunks by 5 inches. The previous owner isn't any help. Any idea is welcome.
Response 1: Look for safety chains over in the trailer hitch section of your local hardware or sporting goods store (or online at iboats.com). Most come in a set of two chains. I took one of these chains and used it to connect the bow eye to the winch post of the trailer. It sounds like the winch is slipping as you're pulling the boat out of the water. The chain will keep that from happening AND if your strap ever breaks it will keep the boat from sliding off the trailer.
Response 2: I would get longer bunks and support the transom. There is a lot of outboard weight on the transom.
Your winch is slipping, broken or you don't have it locked down. Once you're winched up to the bow roller your boat should stay there.
Use of a bow eye chain is a must have, but you will have some slack there also. I use a short 2" ratchet strap and chain to hold everything in place and relieve the winch strap stress when towing.
Response 3: My 23 foot Chris Craft did the same thing, luckily it has a total adjustable winch stand - which we had to lower, change the angle, and move.
Response 4: Sorry, but I can't imagine pulling out of the water without the safety chain hooked up. Watched the father-in-law pull his 18.5 Lund out at the landing and the strap broke. Thankfully he had his safety chain hooked up or it would have been really ugly.
(Editors Note: When replacing your boat trailer winch, make sure you get a quality product that will protect your investment and ensure your trailering safety. Check our web site for all your trailer parts and accessories. )
Regarding winches, our iboats Boating Forums members had this to say:
Forum member 1: Gear ratio is the key to effective winching. Its all about leverage. A winch with a 40:1 ratio will retrieve line/cable at a faster rate than one with a 50:1 ratio but it will take more power to turn the crank. The 50:1 will crank easier than the other but will require more turns to retrieve the same amount of cable. A winchs rating in pounds (1500#, for example) is the ability of the winch to handle the weight being pulled without coming apart. It has nothing to do with ratio. So -- when comparing two winches you want one that meets the weight or pull requirement and if they are the same, pick the one with the higher ratio.
Forum member 2: Fulton makes a decent winch. Get it bigger than you need, makes no sense to save $10 and end up with something that is undersized for the job. You should be able to get a nice single-speed one for around $40-45, and under $55 with the strap. They make a nice "2 speed" winch (for $85 to $100), which is nice if you ever have to do any real heavy winching, say to get the boat on the trailer at a very shallow launch.
(Editors Note: The forum member inserted an unsolicited plug for iboats when he or she added the following information.)
They are available online at many boating sites, like HERE (iboats.com)!!
Forum member 3: Go with a Fulton. I bought one of those cheapies off ebay and the gears stripped 1st time on my 250lb aluminum V hull fishing boat.
(Editors Note: iboats.com also offers many other hand winches from Dutton Lainson, SeaSense, and Dr. Shrink, as well as a full line of electric winches from Powerwinch.) ]

Brand New, Unread Copy in Perfect Condition. A+ Customer Service! Summary: Denmark Wheeler's hard-won good life is shattered by his wife's infidelity. Now he wants payback, no matter who it hurts . . . but he's due to learn some shocking truths. Codice inventario libreria
Riassunto: Denmark Wheeler had it all: a gorgeous wife, Sierra, whom he passionately loved, and a respectable job that allowed him to keep her living in the style to which she was accustomed. The good life wasn't handed to him on a silver platter, though. Growing up in the Cleveland ghetto, his father was shot by a drug addict, he worked the streets to help his sister through college, and he made his fair share of enemies along the way.
Yet not even his tough upbringing prepared him for the mysterious DVD that showed up on his doorstep, its contents revealing an explicit sexual encounter between his wife and another man, whose face was purposely blurred. Sierra's betrayal is heart wrenching, and Denmark's on the warpath to find out the identity of the man behind it. One thing's sure: It's someone close to him.
Suddenly everyone is suspect, especially his two best buddies, and he'll stop at nothing to exact his revenge–even if it means sleeping with their wives to get it. But when Denmark takes justice into his own hands, he discovers a truth even more shocking than his wife's infidelity. . . .
In this gritty revenge tale, Freddie Lee Johnson III takes us into the mind of a man consumed with grief and rage. Full of jump-off-the-page characters and fast-paced drama, Other Men's Wives is an explosive ride fueled by love, lust, and deceit.
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
Today's Wednesday, and it's our wedding anniversary. It's been five years since Sierra Darcelle Montague agreed to marry me, Denmark Vesey Wheeler, a battle-hardened street warrior from one of Cleveland, Ohio's most dangerous neighborhoods. I'm still amazed that my beautiful uptown princess said "Yes!" she'd spend her life with me, but she did, and made me the happiest man in the world. So whenever our anniversary rolls around, I always do something extra special to show her how much I love and cherish her. That's why I got up this morning at 4:15 instead of my usual 5:00 to run three miles. I wanted to be back early enough to wash up and surprise Sierra with breakfast in bed.
I step back and admire my preparations. The tray's sitting on a large white marble-topped island in our kitchen. Along with a rose in the vase on the tray, there's a small bowl filled with cantaloupe, strawberries, grapes, and passion fruit; three strips of turkey bacon cooked to the exact crispness Sierra likes; a slice of wheat toast, both sides lightly buttered; Sierra's favorite blend of Colombian mocha decaf coffee (when Felipe at Cafe Nuevo told me that he'd run out, I got on the turnpike and drove like a madman for two and a half hours from Cleveland to get some from his other store in Pittsburgh); and a small bowl of raisin bran with a cup of soy milk on the side.
This breakfast wouldn't satisfy me. I'd prefer a big bowl of grits, three sizzling pieces of scrapple, scrambled eggs with cheese, and a big mug of caffeine-rich Maxwell House. But forget my tastes. This is the food that Sierra likes, and I'm glad to fix it for her.
I glance at the big green digital numbers on the stove's clock. 6:22 a.m. It's time to get moving.
"She's going to love this," I say softly to myself.
I've got a whole day of sweet surprises planned for my baby. I've even maxed out a credit card to make sure that this anniversary is one she never forgets.
I won't start tripping about how it seems just like yesterday when we said our vows, but my love for Sierra has only gotten stronger in the past five years. I'd dated lots of talented, beautiful, smart, and accomplished women, but none of them could compare with her. Like a ray of light splitting the darkness, she stepped into my life.
Some nights when Sierra's lying in my arms and snuggled up against my chest, I look at her and relish the peace she's brought me. No matter how deeply she's sleeping, she'll stir and snuggle closer.
I pick up the tray, step off briskly for our bedroom, and review the things I need to accomplish before this evening. Tonight when Sierra and I get together I don't want any work-related Speed Shift Auto Parts business distracting my thoughts from her. So I'm going to stop in at work and see how things are going.
After that, I need to double-check with the travel agent about the party I'm throwing for Sierra in a few days at the luxurious Vegas hotel where we had our first date. Coordinating to get her family and friends to arrive there before us took some doing, but it'll be worth the effort to see the smile on Sierra's lovely face. It'll be even better the morning after the party, when I tell her that we're flying to Hawaii. Sierra's visited some of the best vacation spots on earth, but she's never been to Oahu. For her, it'll be a thrill. For me, it's a miracle, especially after growing up in the Brownfield District.
My last task will be handled when I meet the guys--Harry Bancroft and Gordon Wilhite--for breakfast down at our favorite greasy spoon, the Hog Jowls restaurant. I haven't seen them for a while, so it'll be good to catch up. We'll also need to discuss finding a fourth person to run with us in the 4 ´ 100 relay in this year's Greater Cleveland Community Sports Challenge. It's only a few weeks away, so we'll have to find someone quick. Last year, Harry's dud brother-in-law ran with us, and he was a disaster. Another good friend of mine, Mason Booker, owner and operator of the Second Shadow Enterprises private detective agency, had been training with us but had to stop with apologies when he ended up with the good problem of having too much business.
I end my list as I step quietly through the living room on my way toward the stairs leading up to the bedroom and Sierra. The stonework in the fireplace catches my eye, and I once again admire the skill of the contractor who did the job. That part of the living room remodeling project was a hassle, mostly because Sierra kept changing her mind. She'd worn the contractor's nerves thin, and mine weren't much better, trying to deal with the stress of watching our budget hemorrhage with each modification. But I'd promised Sierra a remodeled living room and fireplace for her birthday and meant to see it through to the end.
The contractor saw things differently, which explains why the fifth time Sierra called him he said: "Not on your life, lady! I've already wasted too much time on this fiasco. The plans stay the same!"
Sierra called me at work and had barely hung up before I was dialing that sucker. I appreciated his frustration, but he had to understand that I wasn't letting him disrespect my wife. When he got nasty with me, I knew we had to have a heart-to-heart talk. At dawn the next morning, when he pulled up to the trailer that was his office, I was waiting in the shadows. Twenty minutes later he was on the phone, trembling and talking through a bleeding lip as he apologized to my baby. He not only made the changes she wanted but did the work for free.
I ease quietly into our bedroom and stop, taking a moment to savor Sierra's loveliness as she lies on her side, sleeping like an ebony angel. Soft rays of bluish purple light cut through our partially open vertical blinds, stretching across Sierra, blending with her smooth, dark skin into a wonderful portrait. Her shoulder-length hair swirls over her head, the soft unruly strands melding into chaotic beauty. The peach-colored satin sheet clings to her, rising along the smooth arch of her hip and dipping back into the tight curve of her waist. The soft morning light, the peach linen, Sierra's dark skin, and her shiny hair combine into making my sweetheart look like a goddess.
I tiptoe over, set the tray on the nightstand, and sit quietly down on the edge of the bed beside Sierra. She stirs and rolls onto her back. I kiss her cheek, wrap my arms around her, and cradle her close, rubbing my nose against hers.
"Hey, sleepyhead," I say softly.
She smiles. I kiss her lips, eyes, forehead, and cheeks; the tip of her nose; and then her lips again. "I love you," I say.
Her eyes crease open. "I love you too."
"What right thing did I do to deserve you?" I ask, pulling her close and rubbing my cheek against hers.
She massages the back of my neck. "You loved me with all your heart and made me your one and only."
"I do love you, Sierra, with all my heart and strength." I kiss her neck and hug her tight. "And you'll always be my one and only."
She sighs sweetly. "I thank God for you."
God is one of those areas where Sierra and I struggle. For her, God is an omnipresent deity, possessing boundless love, power, and glory. For me, He's a lazy pot-smoking bum who's been laughing Himself silly while watching humanity stumble through a house that was on fire the day He created it.
I grew up in a household with a God-fearing mother and a Bible-thumping father. When crisis came, all their worship, prayers, and faith couldn't move God to act in our defense, so I ditched Him just like he'd done us.
"Happy fifth anniversary, darling wife," I say.
"And happy anniversary to you, darling husband."
I set the breakfast tray down in front of her. "Have some breakfast."
Sierra's eyes widen with delight. "Denmark, this looks fabulous," she says. She sniffs the rose and smiles. "Thank you, honey. Everything's just the way I like it."
I watch in satisfied silence as she closes her eyes, says a quick prayer, then tastes a spoonful of the fruit salad. "This is delicious."
I pull a lilac-scented card and envelope from my robe pocket and hand it to her. She swallows a bite of turkey bacon, cleans her fingers with a napkin, takes the card, and reads it. Her eyes mist over as she reads down each line.
She sets the tray off to the side and opens her arms wide. "Come here."
I lean over and into her embrace, wrapping my arms around her as she encircles me with hers. "You feel so good," I say.
I've never found the words to describe for Sierra the way electricity bolts through me every time I hold her. I don't know how to explain the heat that spreads through me, or the sudden dryness in my mouth. Every part of me wants to get close and love her in all the delicious ways I know how. But my baby's not an adventurous lover, preferring the tried-and-true, achingly predictable and prudish missionary style. At least she's never been stingy.
Sierra reaches inside my robe and rubs along the contours of my solid wide chest. I slip my forefinger beneath the spaghetti strap of her lavender silk gown, moving it out of the way as I kiss her shoulder. I lick along its roundness, kissing from her shoulder to her neck and back, moving my hand along her flat stomach up to her breasts. She sighs, lies back, and pulls me toward her. I stretch out beside her, kissing her tenderly and rubbing my hand back and forth along her thigh, caressing her behind, and then moving along her stomach and down to her lavender silk panties. She lifts up slightly, giving me room to pull them off, and then she helps undress me. I move over her and slowly lower myself into her passion, uniting us in the ancient ritual.
Sierra bites her lower lip and closes her eyes tight, her nostrils flaring with each inhaled breath. She wraps her legs tight around me, locking her ankles together behind my butt and pulling me deeper. I change up my movements, stroking her high then low, straight in and out, and then in deeply plunging circles, trying my best to add a little spice to our dry-as-dust routine.
Sierra moans and presses her thighs in on me, tightening her love crevasse. It feels good--so very good!--and the tingling in my stiffness builds into a riot of bliss.
"Oooh!" Sierra moans.
I grunt my agreement, my thoughts and speech muzzled by the thrill spreading through me. Sierra's eyes are still squeezed shut as she trembles beneath me.
We hold on to each other, exchanging light kisses and soft laughter. "You're a beast," Sierra whispers.
I answer with a playful growl, and we laugh. "I'm the beast you tamed," I say.
She looks deep into my eyes, strokes my cheek, and smiles softly. I stare back and am startled by a shadow that quickly passes over her face. We talk quietly a little longer, eventually releasing each other and straightening up. Sierra eats more of her breakfast, mostly the fruit salad and cereal, since everything else has gotten cold.
"So what are your plans for today?" I ask, standing in front of the mirror and brushing my hair.
Sierra sighs. "The first thing I'm going to do is stop by Amos's and see how my wild nephew's doing. It's only a few more weeks before his trial, and I want to be there."
I listen while keeping my tightened jaws shut. Amos is Sierra's brother, who, quite frankly, I can do without. Yarborough, his twenty-two-year-old crackhead son and my nephew by marriage, might end up doing hard time for stupidly attempting to rob a convenience store last month.
Sierra laughed it off when I first mentioned that Yarborough had a drug problem. But I'd seen enough junkies in the Brownfield District to know when somebody was strung out, and Yarborough was way out. He kept hitting up the family for money to score drugs, but he stayed clear of me. I was on to his game, so he knew there was no point in trying to scam me. The rest of his family was finally shocked out of their denial the evening his mug shot showed up on the six o'clock news.
Family wealth and connections got him out on bail, but he's up to his old tricks. He's already called twice asking for money. I answered both times, so it was a short conversation. I don't know if he's contacted Sierra, but if he has, and she's given in to him, we'll have to talk about that.
Sierra continues, saying, "Then I've got to give City Council a presentation on the costs of revitalizing Public Square, and see if I can generate some interest in the architect's conference I'm organizing."
"Why does Public Square need revitalizing? That's a Cleveland landmark and a main attraction."
"Yes, it is. But City Council wants it to have more of a high-tech look. That means redesigning the buildings to represent Cleveland's boldly stepping into the twenty-first century."
I sit down in the reading chair near Sierra and lean forward, elbows on knees. "Well, baby. Whatever it costs, your firm couldn't have found anyone more talented or capable to be the project's lead architect."
She smiles and extends her hand to me. I take it and kiss her palm. "You don't have to go in today."
She chuckles. "Of course I do. I told you that I have a presentation. Don't worry," she says, lowering her voice into a husky, sexier region. "I'll be home in plenty of time for us to finish celebrating."
I squeeze her hand. "I know you'll be home in time. I've got it all arranged."
Sierra frowns again, not just puzzled this time but concerned. "Denmark, what are you talking about?"
My smile gets bigger as I explain. "I called your firm and City Hall and explained to them both that today was your anniversary, and that your husband would be grateful if your presentation was moved to the end of next week. I next spoke with Brad Langley, and he said . . ."
"You spoke to my boss?"
"I sure did," I answer, nodding. "And he said it would be no problem. He also said that he'd been debating whether or not to push the meeting back a week so that everyone would have more time to prepare. He also said that he wished he'd been as diligent about remembering his anniversary."

|Home > Entertainment > Arts > Article
Now the 46-year-old has to turn his plans into reality. He officially takes over on April 1. The idea of running the National first occurred to him as an undergraduate more than 25 years ago, when the theatre was being built on London's South Bank. It became a "realistic aspiration" when he first worked at the National in the late '80s and early '90s, a time when he directed some of the National's biggest and most memorable hits - The Madness of George III, The Wind in the Willows and his dark, emotionally overwhelming revival of Carousel.
But at that stage Richard Eyre was firmly ensconced in the top job and Hytner went off to try his luck in Hollywood. He quickly hit the big time with The Madness of King George, but he never quite repeated the success of that first movie. Echoing Hamlet's father, Hytner described himself as "doomed for a certain time to walk Sunset Boulevard".
"Matthew Paris has a great line about being an MP - it's good for the vanity but bad for the self-respect - and that's what I found in Hollywood. It's perhaps the only business where success brings more unhappiness than failure." Recently, he spent 15 months setting up a movie of the hit musical Chicago, only for the project to stall, with Hytner finally walking away in disgust. Two years later, and directed by someone else, the movie is the hit of the season. That's showbiz.
"If I weren't so completely fulfilled in what I'm doing at the moment, then I'd be angry. Now it's neither here nor there. I know I have the appetite for this job. I have honestly never felt I was doing anything more worthwhile - and that's a recipe for professional fulfilment."
The idea of the cheap seats in the Olivier occurred to him within weeks of his appointment. Filling the biggest of the National's three auditoriums every night, especially during summer when business is sluggish, is the nightmare that haunts all directors of the National. The cheap tickets are a brilliant solution. Hytner insists his concern was also aesthetic. Inevitably, the National is going to have to repeat plays, especially as there aren't a limitless number that are suitable for the Olivier's epic, amphitheatre space.
Doing stripped-down productions, "with big, bold, simple strokes" and a minimum of costumes and scenery, is a way not just of bringing down prices and attracting new audiences, but ensuring that great plays are freshly considered in one of the world's most exciting theatrical spaces. Nor is he merely after the elusive "yoof" to which Britain's arts commissars are so enslaved.
"The theatre has been obliged to up its prices. Subsidy has eroded over the years from 60 per cent to less than 40 per cent, and we had no choice but to accept the prevailing mantra that we should charge what the market can bear.
"But, as ticket prices have gone up, we've left behind an enormous section of our audience; the audience that goes to Waterstone's and buys books, the audience that goes to intelligent movies, the audience that goes to galleries because they are free. There's a huge audience that buys quality papers and doesn't want to be talked down to, and I think we can get them back."
He is keenly aware that the very name National Theatre involves certain obligations, but "there won't be a whiff of puritanism about the years I'm here because I'm really up for a good time. Fun has to be part of the remit."
It's 10 years since I last interviewed Hytner. His career then, from early success in opera, admirable work in the regions, and then his big National hits, represented an arc of success. There have been setbacks since. The bad times in Hollywood, and last year's Broadway musical, The Sweet Smell of Success, which was trashed by the critics, unfairly in my view. This, I think, is all to the good. Hytner has endured misfortune and come out smiling - and stronger.
Directors of the National need tough hides if they are to avoid the self-pitying bunker mentality that afflicts many in top arts jobs. Hytner insists that "in no circumstances" will this happen to him. "If I screw up really badly, then I think I have to move on."
He has a personal fortune thanks to the success of the mega-musical Miss Saigon - "sod you" money that will enable him to walk if he has to. I don't see it happening. What's manifest about Hytner is his determination to make a success of the job.
He is intensely private when it comes to his personal life and won't even say whether he has, to use the dreadful American phrase, "a significant other". But he relishes the chance of talking as director of the National Theatre. "It's a wonderful role and one that doesn't require me to reveal who I am. And it enables me to be smugly contemptuous of the Hello! magazine school of theatre. When theatre and celebrity culture collide, the results are almost always embarrassing. I have no wish to be a celebrity."
What's giving him "an enormous kick", he says, is being an impresario - setting up projects, negotiating rights, spotting talent, hiring the right directors and actors. How would he like his time at the National to be remembered?
"As Richard Eyre always used to say, policy is a matter of who you work with," Hytner says, but then goes on to mention Diaghilev, director of the Ballets Russes, who tapped into the talents of Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Fokine, Massine and Cocteau, among others.
"Different time, different art form," says Hytner. "But the point of the parable is that he was the greatest impresario who ever lived, and part of his talent was to know who was great, gather them all in, and famously to say, 'Etonne-moi!' [astonish me] In this little world I would like to do the same - but it all depends on whether the talent is out there. All I can do is create the atmosphere."
"Etonne-moi!" strikes me as a terrific motto for the director of the National Theatre. Theatre-goers should fasten their seatbelts and prepare to be astonished.

|Paul Fleischman [lesson plan-culture] [lesson plan - create a civilization]
by Paul Fleischman
Excellent book for Bullying, Harassment, and Conflict Resolution
|Wesley overhears his parents' conversation that he
doesn't fit in. He knows that is true.
Wesley is teased because he is a nonconformist. He doesn't like pizza and coke; thinks professional football stupid and refused his father's five-dollar bribe to shave half his head [hairstyle worn by all the other boys].
He is an independent thinker, unafraid of new possibilities and open to change.
He learns in school "that seeds are carried great distances by the wind" and "that each civilization has it's own staple crop."
A seemingly sarcastic comment from his father sparked an idea for a summer project--"he would grow his own staple food and found his own civilization!"
He turns over a plot of ground and opens his land to chance. Courtesy of the wind, Wesley's garden is planted. An unknown species of plant shoots up and bears a multi colored fruit that tastes of "peach, strawberry, pumpkin pie, and flavors for which he had no name." He names this "swist from the sounds of its leaves rustling in the breeze."
Weslandia is born--a land where there is no shortage of imagination, inspiration, innovation, engineering, science and entrepreneurial genius. It is a beautiful metaphor--"in this type of garden there are no weeds."
When summer vacation is over, Wesley leaves his kingdom of Weslandia and returns to school with no shortage of friends.
Children will embrace Weslandia's message by Newbery author Paul Fleischman and brilliant illustrations by Kevin Hawkes.
Highly recommend.

Car "Wrapping" Scam
Car "Wrapping" Scam
Monday, 16 June 2014 - 2:52pm
National News
Police are warning people not to fall for a recent scam being advertised around the country.
The advertisement offers payment for people to have their car "wrapped" in sign writing in exchange for a large payment.
Anyone who replies to the advert is sent a cheque from the scammers with instructions to bank the cheque and immediately transfer the banked money to an off shore bank account, which pays to have their car "wrapped".
The cheque later bounces leaving the victim, out of pocket and in most cases in debt to their bank for the total money transferred.
"We are appealing for anyone who has been a victim of this scam and has not been spoken to by Police to contact us as soon as possible" says Detective Matthew Kay of the Counties Manukau Financial Investigation Team.
"We also implore anyone who may have seen the ad and is thinking about contacting them to please avoid doing so. This is a tried and true scam, please don't let yourself become the next victim".
If you think you may have any information relating to the scam please call Detective Matthew Kay on 09 262 9110 or alternatively information can be provided anonymously to the organisation Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Detective Matthew Kay is available to media if required. Please contact Katherine Manaton on 09 263 2702 or 021 192 0717 to arrange.

EphrinB2 also known as EFNB2 is a member of the ephrin family. EphrinB2 is involved in establishing arterial versus venous identity and perhaps in anastamosing arterial and venous vessels at their junctions. The transmembrane-associated ephrin ligands and their Eph family of receptor tyrosine kinases are expressed by cells of the SVZ. Eph/ephrin interactions are implicated in axon guidance, neural crest cell migration, establishment of segmental boundaries, and formation of angiogenic capillary plexi. Eph receptors and ephrins are divided into two subclasses, A and B, based on binding specificities. Ephrin subclasses are further distinguished by their mode of attachment to the plasma membrane: ephrin-A ligands bind EphA receptors and are anchored to the plasma membrane via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linkage, whereas ephrin-B ligands bind EphB receptors and are anchored via a transmembrane domain. An exception is the EphA4 receptor, which binds both subclasses of ephrins. EphrinB2 expression progressively extends from the arterial endothelium to surrounding smooth muscle cells and to pericytes, suggesting that ephrin-B2 may play an important role during formation of the arterial muscle wall.

Grigori Galitsin News
Grigori Galitsin News Review
The original review was written by my colleague Sticky Mcgee in 2004. Two years have passed, so I decided to update it with some fresh facts. Galitsin News is still an amazing site, with exceptional pictures.
Grigori Galitsin is one of the most famous Russian photographers around, you may have seen his old site reviewed on here before. Long story short, Grigori and Peter Hegre were in a joint venture for Galitsin Archives. It didn't work out, so Grigori has opened his own site, Galitsin News. If you're interested in the details, you can find Grigori's full comments on this situation on our very own site at the now dead website called Grigori Galitsin Archives.
The three daily updates have been coming steadily since November 2003, so there's about 1100 galleries here! There are 91 models, they're natural beauties from Russia. I think one of the charms of Russian girls has always been the innocent, fresh, young look, hence sites often call them teens. This is one of the best places to find such girls.
You will find artistic photgraphy here, ranging from just solo models, to 2 girls, to even some very tastefully done hardcore pictures. The settings and the way he accentuates lighting and shading is not to be underestimated in erotic photography, it adds a great deal more substance and often times a more erotic feel to the photo. Grigori is one of the best there is at using his settings to the max. Yet many sets also have a bit of an amateur feel to it, not in a bad way.
Quality is still nice, image resolution is about 1200x800. However, a few competing sites like Met-Art have started to introduce even higher resolutions, I hope Galitsin-News will follow the trend. Each set is downloadable in a ZIP file.
Photos are not the only thing in here, Galitsin News has a movie section as well. It has 223 short clips at the moment. The movies still are not all about hardcore sex, they're erotic movies, and it's all done in Grigori's fashion, music and subtle imagery, as well as some true action (masturbation, lesbians playing with dildos), but that's not really what his movies are about. You can also download the interviews of prospective models.
Format is WMV, so the clips can be both downloaded, or you can watch them streamed. There are two quality options, the plain WMVs, and the HDV WMVs. HDV stands for high definition video (like HDTV), they have 1280x720 resolution, obviously large files. And here's the only limitation of regular membership: the HDV movies are only available to premium members.
I wasn't really impressed by the movies, they're rather just behind the scenes footage in my eyes. And while it's one thing to make people to pay extra money for ultra high quality HDV movies, it doesn't mean that the other WMVs should be 250-300 kbps low quality clips.
Navigation and layout are very good at Galitsin News. There's a big amount of content here, yet it's easy to find what you want, be it the newest sets, or all content from a specific model. It's aesthetic too, every set is presented like a magazine. There's a Top30 section to find the popular sets.
The Comrades section - funny name :) - has about 100 more galleries from partner sites: Model Flats, Nude Illusion, Explicite, Devyatkin, and Ron Harris.
No fan of erotic photography should miss this site. The videos section is not that interesting in my opinion, but I won't make a big deal out of it, it's not the main thing in here. Monthly membership costs 25$ for the first month, and it rebills at 20$. There's also a non-recurring membership, 35$ for one month. If you want to access to HDV movies, you need to buy the premium membership, it costs 100$ for three months.
Site is offline. I have heard from several sources that Galitsin is now in jail for shooting on the wrong side of the age limit, and as such have destroyed all sample images as well.

The advantages are: 1. Syntactic errors (in the parsed constructs) are given out at compile time. 2. D reflections are available only at compile time.

TAG introduces its new bar staff and summer cocktails
Mike Henderson may have jumped ship for other projects, but the cocktail show at TAG must go on. TAG tender Brian Melton will take over lead mixology duties, while floor manager Travis Plakke will take care of the behind-the-scenes details.
And in TAG's dark basement lounge on Tuesday night, the recently re-formed bar staff rolled out its lineup of summer cocktails to a crowd of party-goers, gleaning feedback on favorite patio sippers, and showing enthusiasts that even post-Henderson, the beverage program at the restaurant packs a punch.
The new beverages preserve the theme of the old, playing on the same brand of fusion that chef Troy Guard employs in his food. Our favorites included a spicy and tart Thai-ginger margarita flanked with peppery seasoning instead of salt on the glass rim and the "To Your Health," a blend of gin, blackberry, raspberry, and Kombucha tea.

Punta Gorda, the Port to Guatemala
Punta Gorda, the administrative capital of the Toledo District, offers fascinating river and fishing trips and tours, as well as caving and bird watching expeditions. There are chances to relive and explore the world of ancient Mayan empires. Positioned on the coasts low cliffs, Punta Gorda is afforded deliciously cool sea breezes that take the edge off the summer season's worst heat.
From Punta Gorda, Belize it's just a hop, skip and jump away from Guatemala's port, Puerto Barrios. Or, you can head on even further to Livingston, Guatemala's Garifuna paradise.
Haggling at the Local Market
Punta Gorda, Belize is a relatively small city, with a population of only about 3500 people, but it is still an integral part of the country's economy and commerce. Indeed, there are many people who commute from as far away as 900 miles for work and trade!
The city offers a public dock and a thriving market, which you'll find open on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Not only is there a certain freedom in haggling over local handicrafts and other mementos, the prices are awesome too! Altogether, Punta Gorda offers that laid back atmosphere with just enough to keep you entertained.
Punta Gorda: Natural and Cultural
In Punta Gorda you get the best of both worlds: a wild array of natural beauty and a stimulating cultural diversity. The environment thrives thanks to the mild climate, but one of the natural area's boons is a tourist's bane: the rain. There's just no escaping the city's wet weather since Punta Gorda is nestled away in the wettest area of the entire country.
While visiting Punta Gorda, you'll like encounter Maya, Garifuna and Indian Belizeans, each with their own music, crafts, recipes and distinctive flare.
