Set the Fire
Set the Fire
Author: Lisa Paris
Disclaimer: I own no fractions, atoms or particles of Numb3rs. I really wish I owned Don.
Part One
'I'm miles from where you are,
I'm laying down on the cold ground,
And I – I pray that something picks me up,
And sets me down in your warm arms . . .'
'Set the Fire to the Third Bar' Snow Patrol with Martha Wainwright
Carmine Redondo picked up the file and leafed through the snapshots again. His anger was almost palpable to anyone who knew him well. He'd spent a lot of time on this particular predicament and had come to a final decision. He stared with hard eyes at the man in the photograph. The man who was going to pay. No one crossed him and got away with it. No one hurt him like this man had. There was a price to be forfeited - a reckoning. Eppes would soon realise this to his cost.
"My father always told me to keep things simple. There's no need to complicate matters. There's only one problem here, gentlemen, I want you to fix it for me."
The two men sitting opposite glanced at each other. The taller of them spoke. "It would be easier to take out the brother – or even the old man. Neither of them will be on the look-out. Neither of them will be armed."
For a moment, there was silence. You could have cut the air with a knife. The tall man, Miller, knew he'd made a mistake before Redondo exploded in anger. "What the fuck do I pay you for? Haven't you learned anything?" He threw one of the black and white photo's across the desk at them, and the others scattered like leaves over the floor. "All these months you been watching Eppes and you ain't worked out the obvious thing?"
"He's good." Miller hastily agreed with him. "Sharp - at the top of his game. He's gonna be on the lookout for trouble, especially considering the timing. That's why I thought baby brother would be easier to use as leverage. He ain't gonna put up much of a fight and the two of them are pretty damned close."
"Exactly." Redondo reached for the tumbler of scotch at his side. He spoke patiently, as if explaining something to a child. "Right now, Eppes is gonna give evidence against me because it's his duty. His job as a good little suit. I know what kind of man he is. I've seen his type before. He's a by the book, straight-laced, straight-shooting Fed, but that changes, if we target his family. You hurt the old man or the math professor, and it makes things personal then." He took a large swallow of the scotch and scowled. "You think Eppes won't get even? I don't want him on some kind of vendetta. He'll still testify against me. He'd make it his life's work to bury me."
"We'd never get him off our backs, no matter what the jury decide. The Feds'll put the heat on us and choke-up our operation." The third man spoke for the first time, nodding his head in agreement. "Carmine's right about this one. We do it the old fashioned way. A simple hit. No witnesses. Let him vanish off the earth without a trace."
"Hire some outsiders to do it. Lomax, I'll leave that up to you. Careful who you choose to pull the trigger, I don't want them linked back to us. Take him out to the usual place and put a bullet in his head. You'll need to contact the works guy in order to get rid of the evidence. " Redondo looked at his partners with satisfaction. "The Feds and the DA can think what they like – they can't touch us without any proof. If Eppes doesn't testify, they got nothing, even with his deposition. Gentlemen, we'll be home free. The DA'll be forced to drop the charges and the case will be thrown outta court."
"It's good as done." Lomax got to his feet. "I already got someone in mind for the job - two small-timers, they done stuff for me before. Once it's over and done with, they're expendable. I'll need to give them his picture. I'll get onto it right away."
Redondo picked the photograph and stared at it again. A small frown puckered his forehead as he studied the celluloid image. He didn't much like being duped, but this man had managed to fool him. Usually, he could smell an undercover Fed a mile away – but Eppes still pulled the wool over his eyes. Well, it was time to face the reckoning.
The bastard was so gonna pay.
He knew a lot about the man in the photograph now. He had made it his personal mission. His life, his family, his favourite bottled beer – the brand of aftershave he wore. Even the research had been hard for him. Talk about rubbing salt in a wound. If ever a man was his nemesis - it was Special Agent Don Eppes. It wasn't just about ability, although Eppes had been clever enough. To gain access to their operation spoke volumes, it was more a question of trust.
Oh, yeah, Eppes had impressed him in lots of ways.
In too many personal ways.
The insolence, the focus, the hard, determined streak. Oh, yeah, Eppes had impressed him all right. In retrospect, he should have suspected something - should have known Eppes was working the inside. But by then, he had already fallen for the man. Fallen. Hook, line and sinker.
Redondo exhaled, slowly. His hand trembled against the glass of the tumbler. It was a crying shame he couldn't take care of this one himself. Too bad he couldn't pull the trigger. Nothing would give him greater pleasure than to personally teach Eppes a lesson. It was tempting, so tempting to take the risk, to do it for self-gratification. He closed his eyes for a second and pictured the gun in his hand.
"There's one more thing I want you to do for me," his voice was cold and dry like winter leaves. "Whoever you get to do it - I want them to tell Eppes why. The bullet comes courtesy of Carmine Redondo. I want the bastard to die knowing that."
Present Time . . .
First of all, he was conscious of the quiet. Of the cold, and the unearthly silence. He lay still for a few minutes longer, too weak and confused to move. 'Where was he? What the fuck had happened to him?' He wasn't clearly aware of anything.
Something was sticking his eyes together – something hard and encrusted. He forced himself to rub at them shakily and smelled the coppery tang of blood. Blood. It was on his hands and in his eyes; his hair was spiky and stiff with it. His skin felt taut and cracked with the stuff when he tried to move his head.
There was sky above him – which explained the cold – a wide, expanse of black sky. It was studded and pin-pricked with millions of stars which winked impassively down at him. For a while, he must have drifted off again, back into a world of shadowy dreams. There was something . . . someplace he had to go.
Someone was waiting for him.
He levered a hand beneath his body and tried to push himself up. The stars swung around him like a fairground ride as he fell back in blinding agony.
'Not good. This was so not good. What the hell was going on?'
He lay there and tried to remember, but the throb in his head was overpowering. It rose and fell like the swell of the tide and encompassed every fibre of his being. He was shivering uncontrollably now.
'Cold – so cold - and in pain.'
It felt like someone had driven a red-hot spike down through the top of his skull. Movement was so not a good idea, but he really didn't want to stay here. He was obviously somewhere out in the open. Dumped in the desert, perhaps?
There was gravel and sand beneath his cheek, and a rock in the small of his back. He supposed he should roll away from it, but there was no energy left in his limbs. He must have hazed in and out for a while, floating in-between pain and awareness. But slowly - infinitely slowly - a kind of clarity returned. A thread of memory and recollection . . . it didn't make him feel any better . . .

The $60 million cost of the program is funded by real estate tax assessments on real property within the city of Tucson. More than $2 per assessed valuation goes to Tusd which is by far more than any school district in the state. The taxpayers are taxed too much and the recipients are not respectful of who pays their bills. Tusd and mas is not a federally funded program. Hence, the state, distributer of the tax dollars, may withhold money to the district when the district fails in its contract obligations to the taxpayers. We the taxpayers and the state of arizona do not support an agenda that violates state law 16-805.

The hilarious American Pie franchise films created a self-declared womanizer in the movies, Steve Stifler aka The Steifmeister. Love him or hate him, this dude is awesome. I just love his messed up personality. In fact, the kind of person you wish to be friends or foes with. If you are a friend, he will definitely bail you out and if you are foes, be assured that he will not forget it. Flinch knows that through experience. His friends/antagonists are Jim, Flinch, Kevin and Oz. He makes life miserable for his friends, but they remain friends. They actually have a love-hate relationship. He is adventurous and fun to be around. He makes life spicy for everyone around him - sometimes a bit too spicy for some. Mostly, girls suffer the wrath of his ruthlessness. Stifler is a real buddy, the person you call when your life becomes plain and boring.
Obnoxious Steifmaster
Stifler character is mean; there is no arguing about that. He is mean to his friends, and he goes to any lengths to get his way. By his way, I mean getting laid. His life revolves around partying and girls. His bro, Matt, adores him because of this. His friends tolerate him because of the benefits associated with being around Stifler. You have endless supply of beer, and if you are lucky, girls too. He is mean to al his friends especially Jim. At some point, Stifler tells Jim to put his shirt one because he is scaring away the chicks. He is an expert at embarrassing his friends. This iconic character is someone you do not want to mess around with. It is safe if you value his friendship, no matter the cost.
The Oversexed Craze
The character played by Stifler portrays an oversexed craze whose main purpose of being alive is to chase girls. Everything that Stifler does centers around girls. He goes to an extent of pretending to be a porn director, to attract girls. Nevertheless, when you are in a tight spot, just bait him with the magical word 'girls' and he will do anything for you. Ultimately, the Stifler personality becomes hilarious because of this craze. Everything revolves around getting laid. That is what counts as far as Stifler is concerned.
Reliable and Loyal Stifler (This is a Surprise)
This is a surprising side of Stifler. Despite his being arrogant and obnoxious, Stifler is loyal. He is the kind of person who goes out of his way to make something right. He proves to be a valuable friend during Jim and Michelle's wedding. This is a rare occurrence, Stifler going out of his way to make it right for Jim (although his eyes were on Michelle's sister). The whole paradox is just funny. He gets his football team to deliver flowers on the wedding venue because he did not want to disappoint Jim (read Michelle's sister, Cadence). He is the kind of pal you call when you are in deep shit, that you cannot figure your way out. He will come bail you out, without asking questions.

To some of us, dad is probably the greatest hero that we could ever have in our life. No matter what your history teacher says about great people living in the past and present and their contribution to economics, literature and in government, no one still beats the awesomeness of your pop. They basically are our pride, as much as we are to them. Who would not think so? After all, they are the ones who have raised you to become as cool as you are right now. With this, it is only right to give them something that screams comfort and style on the special day that is meant for them.
By special day, we mean Father's Day. The occasion is a very important one, in the sense that this is the only time that we get to spend all the waking hours of the day honoring our dads (in case you don't already do this every so often). During this occasion, it would seem pretty customary for the common dad to receive the usual Father's Day gifts. Examples of these are neck ties, socks and, for goodness sakes, mugs! Truth be told, not every man wants to receive 'The World's Best Dad' mugs year after year unless it's from his small child. If you want to give something that will make your dad a proud father to a son or daughter who has an impeccable taste in fashion and comfort, then you probably need to buy a pair of Hey Dude's comfortable shoes.
About Hey Dude Shoes
The Spring and Summer collections at Hey Dude Shoes offer never before seen styles that are perfectly suitable as a gift for your ol' man. You'll find styles boasting of a laid back yet classy vibe, as exuded by the hip designs. Our styles also guarantee optimum comfort as their insoles make sure that you can move about with ease and comfort: Each has a perfect mixture of rubber and ethylene vinyl acetate, which makes ay pair light and flexible, while a perforated pig skin top layer provides protection and proper breathing allowance for the soles of your feet. These features basically make Hey Dude the producer of the lightest, most comfortable versions of traditional styles.
In picking the right shoes for dudes, your dad included, it is important to put in mind their taste in fashion. Do not just settle with giving him gifts that will only force him to say nice things about your generosity. Make him fall for your presents! You can definitely do this by giving him a pair of shoes that not only provides functionality, but fashionable comfort as well.

How to attend this Year's Top Five Music Festivals in Style
If you are a dude in California, then the summer brings with it some great opportunities to attend the country's most popular festivals in music and entertainment, with style. Below we will look at the top five most popular events you should plan on attending wearing the most stylish shoes for dudes. Many of the new styles available now and to come from Hey Dude Shoes are designed with certain occasions in mind, and we have some ideas of which styles could be perfect for the activities of these festivals in particular. These are annual festivals that have been held for years and boast attendance in the hundreds of thousands, so if you missed one this year, have no fear - just get ready to buy your tickets for next year!
This is arguably one of the most popular festivals in the country, held in Indio California. It brings together a generous collection of both famous music acts as well as some relatively unknown performers. There is hardly a dull moment during this festival with three different stages all featuring performances simultaneously.
To ensure that you can keep up with the activity and excitement while still living the laid back California lifestyle, you can choose the Farly Denim Blue shoe. It comes with a stylishly designed upper and a contrasting sole. It also features a super light sole guaranteeing maximum comfort at all times. Since Coachella is a 6 day event, spanning 2 weekends, comfort is essential. And since the Denim Blue style is new to this season, it has a current look and understated sophistication like that of a chambray shirt - a crucial element when it comes to looking sharp, considering much the attendees are some of Los Angeles' most fashionable event-goers.

Austin City Limits
This is the most popular when it comes to all Indy music festivals, held in Texas. It brings together a huge collection of popular Indie music bands, including those that have been active for generations - and some that have been inactive for years.
Perhaps the best shoe for this festival is the Vinci Navy Coral. A shoe designed to go well with both jeans and shorts, and has the sharp-toed accent that fits the Indie aesthetic known across the decades. This shoe guarantees comfort no matter how you choose to make the journey to the South.

This is another one of the biggest festivals in the country. It is held in Manchester, Tennessee from June 9th-12th. It promises a great dose of music suited to a variety of fans and not just the hardcore fanatics. Attending in style is a must, and the Wally Incas Red is a great option for dudes into comfortable fashion. It has a free-formed aesthetic and a funky sole, guaranteed to show off your dedication to the alternative vibe that the festival promotes.

This is deemed to have been where it all started. One of the earliest festivals bringing together music fans and some of the most popular acts together in a three-day musical treat, which never seems to cease.
For all the dudes planning to attend this musical overdose, then the Forli Stretch Beige shoe is a must carry. It is light and designed for maximum comfort, with a stylish moccasin look. It would be an appropriate tribute to the lifestyle and music that the first Woodstock represented - only, in this case, you would most likely be much more comfortable than our parents would have been.

This is perhaps the biggest festival in this collection. Taking place August 5th-7th, it brings together a huge list of big names in music as well as some lesser known acts all for the enjoyment of music lovers. To ensure you attend in style, we propose wearing the Vinci Charcoal/Neon Green. This alternative to heavy dress shoes is only 6oz in weight and highly comfortable. It also brings the classically sharp Oxford style into the new millennium with hyper-color accents meant to leave subtlety in the dust (literally!)

Lately we've had quite a few awesome dudes sending us photos of their trips around the globe to show off how they celebrate comfort and style in various terrain and weather conditions. One such dude, photographer Chris Hannant, has taken some of our Farly Blue Denims on a trip to Costa Rica with some good friends to put Hey Dude's mission to the test. Amidst the jungle, beach, surf, rocks, and falls, he captured images of Hey Dude Shoes in their most perfect form.
When it's time to reward your feet after a hard-working day of adventure, stay protected and comfortable with the lightest shoes on the market.
We thank Chris for his excellent work and spirit of adventure with our exceptional shoes. We are always happy to share the appreciation for comfort and style with fellow humans, and we encourage all to join us in celebrating Hey Dude Shoes around the world.
You can find Chris' work at www.chrishannant.com and be sure to follow his Instagram, @channant for inspiring adventures and breathtaking imagery. Stay connected with Hey Dude and our friends to see where go and what we do next. There's always plenty more to see from Hey Dude!
In a blog post earlier this year, we introduced a good friend of Hey Dude Shoes and world-traveler, Ryan Riley. Ryan has made a life trekking the globe from South Africa to Yosemite, across the United States, and beyond. His travels have seen him hiking rocky hillside trails, bungee-jumping into ravines, and hitting the best surf spots along the way. It's no question, after a day of these kinds of adventures a good relaxing moment to reflect is necessary. It only makes sense that along with his camera and canteen he brought the lightest, most comfortable shoes on the market for those victory dances at the top of the mountain (or maybe even just a victory sit). We caught up with Ryan so he could share some images of his most recent Hey Dude experiences.
Two weeks ago, Ryan shared the map of his latest road trip across the US on Instagram:
We love to see Hey Dude put to the task and Ryan definitely has been showing off his Wallys!
Zion National Park, Utah
Arches National Park, Utah
You can follow Ryan at @ryanoriley1 on Instagram, and he has a blog of his travels and experiences at www.ryan-riley.com
Stay tuned into Hey Dude Shoes to see where we go with Ryan next!
Hey dudes, it's Spring again. The flowers are in bloom, the bushes are lush, and the trees are ever growing. The season is so inviting, and it calls for a one-of-a-kind adventure—the Californian way. California is a home to different attractions and activities that are active and healthy, yet relaxing and comfortable. From swimming to mountain climbing, you get to begin to enjoy every bit of California during this season. So, backpacks ready! Put on your best shoes, for here are great activities you can do to enjoy springs and summers in the Golden State:
The Beach: Play Frisbee along the coastline of San Diego while enjoying the summer heat. Take a plunge in the waters of Santa Monica. Enjoy long walks at Long Beach. There are a lot of summer activities you can do in California beaches, which can end in relaxing to the sunset and taking a much-need load off.
Cultural walk through: Prepare your feet for a tiring yet knowledge-enhancing walk in different cultural parks and museums around the state. Balboa Park in San Diego, for instance, is worth visiting as it is the largest urban cultural park in the United States. The walkthrough will open you to different Spanish Colonial-Revival architecture and magnificent gardens. The state also houses amazing museums ranging from Historical to art and Entertainment. Your walk is worth the beautiful memories and the excitement you will get when you visit these places.
Hiking: If there is one best thing to do during spring, it would be hiking up the beautiful and rich mountains of the state and sitting on the edge of the cliff, hanging your feet off for an adventurous selfie. Flowers are blooming, and the rich diversity of the mountain is very visible during this season. Relax with the sceneries of green and the majestic cityscape once you already reach the top.
Fairs: Summer and spring are seasons of fairs and celebrations. A walk through different food kiosks while enjoying different parades will keep you excited in this amazing state. You dance all you want across Fifth Avenue during The Hillcrest Cityfest Street fair or get hyped with the annual California Mid-state Fair.
Celebrity Spotting: This might sound creepy but for fans who just want to spot celebrities, and follow them like true paparazzi, California is the place to go. Los Angeles is a home to different Hollywood celebrities, and there are a lot of guides on the internet you can find for where to spot your favorite actors and musicians. So get your lenses ready as well as your comfortable shoes. You definitely need the latter for your ninja moves, dude.
Going through all these activities with all the walking, you need shoes that fit the Californian lifestyle. Hey Dude shoes are for active and healthy individuals who seek comfort and relaxation. Reward yourself with the best pair of Hey Dude for your exciting downtime activities. Enjoy the fun getaways without sacrificing your soles and ankles. Get Hey Dude now.
And yes, Hey Dude Shoes look good for a compulsory travel feet selfie!

Bug in the DateTime field -- field prompts alert error immediately even before the filled gets completedAsked by FelixM on May 18, 2014 at 06:28 AM
Hey there,
when our customers fill in their birthdays an error message is shown right after they typed in the day the were born. They dont even get the chance to fill in the rest without getting that message. How can we fix that?
Best and thanks,
Felix Göde
Hello Felix,
Kindly fill out the Day, Month and Year and let us know if you are still getting the error message. Apparently, the alert shows up too soon. I tried it on my form and as I fill out the rest, it goes away.
Please let us know if you need further help.
Hi Bryan,
thanks for your quick response. The problem is that the alert does show up
too soon. And thats what I want to fix...Do you know how?
Thanks and best,
2014-05-18 13:08 GMT+02:00 JotForm Support Forum :
Hello Felix,
I've revisited your website and tried to fill out the birthday field. I've manually put in the numbers and looks like it is no longer showing up. Can you please tell me if we're good to go? Otherwise reply to this thread and we'll look deeper.
Also, you can use the calendar icon right beside the Year field to choose the date.
We will wait for your response.
Hi Bryan,
thanks for your effort but unfortunately it still is showing up:
Some of our customers did give us bad feedback for our usability so I would
love to fix that bug so that there is no error message shown anymore..
Thanks and best,

I was able to reproduce this issue on your form http://www.jotformeu.com/form/40087711971355
The DateTime field will have the pop-up error message immediately even when the input is not yet completed
I think this is a new bug on the DateTime field which I think is having conflict when the form is using a different language other then Enghlish (your form was in German)
I made a test solely for the datetiem field, but this glitch did not happen when I was testing the form
I will submit a bug report to our higher team support so that it can check as soon as possible.
As a temporary workaround to prevent the pop-error message from happening on your form, you can use injected CSS codes like this on the form
.form-line-error .form-error-message {
display: none;
}Here is also a test form you can check where I have applied this. http://www.jotform.me/form/41382035163447Please inform us if you need further assistance.We will notify you via this thread when update regarding the report is available.Thanks!
JotForm Support
This is now fixed. Please edit and save your form again for the changes to take effect.

Questions to the Attorney-General Brandis – Illicit Drugs standard
Senator LAMBIE: My question without notice is to the Attorney-General. I refer the Attorney-General to two important facts regarding my proposal for involuntary medical detox treatment for children who are addicted to ice. Firstly, suitably qualified medical professionals, under our existing health laws, are able to authorise involuntary treatment for patients who suffer from damaged mental health and are subject to dangerous, uncontrollable and unpredictable behaviour. Secondly, people addicted to and using ice must also suffer damage to their mental health and are also subject to dangerous, uncontrollable and unpredictable behaviour. Given these obvious truths, can the Attorney-General explain why his government refuses to support my call for the same suitably qualified medical professionals, acting under new health laws, from ...Continue Reading

So, what happened last night on Real Housewives of Atlanta? Did the producers get lazy? Did they run out of story lines? Perhaps they just ran out of compelling story lines; at least that much seemed evident.
A bunch of stuff happened, but none of it added up to much. Kim shopped, because all she does is spend Big Poppa's money and pretend it's her own. Sheree tried to plan an event, because all she does is plan events that never happen. Nene had a charity event that forced me to look at Dwight's balls (AGAIN, SECOND TIME THIS SEASON), and that doesn't seem particularly charitable to me. Lisa continued to not have babies and maybe insinuated that Keith Sweat was an abusive husband. Kandi just made me sad because we all know what's gone on in her life between then and now. I have no jokes about that.
But if you'd like to hear more jokes about Dwight's junk, though, I think you know where to find those.
So, remember last year when Nene had the Big Hat Brunch to raise money for her domestic abuse charity? Well, she abandoned that idea and decided to have a high heel marathon this year. And by marathon, she meant a few blocks in her neighborhood with about 30 people. But it was actually kind of adorable, despite the fact that that running in heels makes my ankles hurt just by watching it. And of course, because Nene is a budding gay icon, she had just as many fabulous gheys running in heels as there were women, and that was the best part.
Chief among them, of course, was Dwight, King of the Atlanta Gays. For some reason, Lisa didn't think that his first running ensemble was assaulting my eyes hard enough, so she encouraged him to change into a unitard that he had handily brought along for the occasion, just in case. And I'm forever thankful to the Bravo Powers That Be that his bits and pieces didn't slip out the leg hole of that thing, just like I was elated last week that I got to live another day without seeing Kim's nipples. Reality stars debase themselves enough – at least leave the dude's balls to my imagination, mmk?
But he wasn't the only fab gay there – do you remember Michael, who Nene and Lisa met at the hotel in Los Angeles a few weeks back? He flew in for the race! And he showed up in drag, replete with a blond wig and yellow platform heels. And let me tell you, that's where the episode peaked for me. I loved him then, I love him now, give him his own show. But yes, everyone ran down the street, and it was kind of a small event, but hopefully they raised some cash for abuse victims.
So, uh, let's see. Oh! Nene is coming to Athens in next week's episode! Really exciting for me, probably not exciting for anyone else.
There was more stuff, I know there was…Dwight put some pants on at some point in order to accompany Sheree to the W Hotel and talk about the setup for She by Sheree presentation. He did all the talking, which Sheree didn't like but it was probably in her best interest, since I doubt she would know a fashion show if it punched her in the throat.
He asked questions about capacity, lighting, making sure the space was cleaned and at the correct temperature to be filled to capacity – it didn't seem like Sheree knew or cared about any of those things, which seems to support the notion Sheree doesn't actually care about fashion, she just cares about mugging for the camera and stamping her name on anything that she can find. So, assumptions: confirmed.
Uh, Kim. She got her wig trimmed. Which is hilarious, since wigs aren't alive, they don't grow. She also bought like $600 worth of stuff for her kids and put in on a titanium AmEx which she insists is her own, which is silly, since Kim doesn't have a job or family money. And then everyone made fun of Kim for being engaged to a man that not only is still married, but also still lives with his wife despite his vast fortune and ability to move out and, well, yes. Someone had to say it.
Lisa and Ed got some screen time this week, and it's abundantly clear that Ed is a lot more charming than Lisa is. He worked out and realized that his knee is more torn up than he wants to admit, and his trainer indicated that perhaps he wasn't NFL caliber any longer. Which is too bad, you hate to see someone lose the ability to do what he loves. So that just makes him want babies more, which is also too bad, since Lisa referred to any children she might have in the future as "extra babies." Let's hope that broadcasting career works out for Ed, I guess.
Which brings us to Kandi. It's hard to watch video of someone when you know that you're looking at a glimpse of her life before something major and tragic happened to her; I found myself wanting to warn her somehow. She's getting her act together with her music and in this episode, she set the paperwork in motion to sign a deal with Columbia Records. There was some indication from Kim and Sheree that they were planning a surprise engagement party for her in the future – I wonder if we'll see that footage now. If we do, it will be creepy at best.
I'm not sure if the relative calm of this episode is an indication that the season's drama is winding down or if there will be more flare-ups in the next couple of weeks before the season come to a close, but I guess we'll find out when we find out. Until then, I'm excited for Real Housewives of Athens next week.

Sparks fly as Andrew Castle clashes with this Russian supporting caller.
Paul called Andrew to defend the Russian president over his intervention in the conflict in Syria and his role in international affairs.
Tensions are running high as a flotilla of Russian ships sailed through the British channel yesterday. Paul said that Putin is doing the right thing in 'fighting terrorists.'
This provoked a big response from Andrew who laid out a number of reasons why Putin should be condemned for supporting Syria dictator Bashar al-Assad.
Andre asked him "you think Putin is a good bloke?" Watch as he grills this caller in this great clash.

AN education is on offer at Southampton University's The Phoenix on Wednesday after a vote by audiences.
Nick Hornby's adaptation of wellknown journalist Lynn Barber's memoir of teenage seduction shows his trademark understated wit, but it's the nuanced touch of director, Lone Scherfig, that turns this film into something rather special.
The getting of a sentimental education, as opposed to an academic one, has long obsessed film-makers, but it's been largely a boy's-eye-view. So Lone Scherfig's crisply confident and charmingly comic coming-of-age drama shows the delight of a teenage girl kicking against the pricks for a change – a girl who's hungry for adult life, too, rather than love or peer approval – those banal staples of the schoolset movie since the 1980s.

The Chiefs have one of the best pass rushers in the league, Tamba Hali, but he's the only good pass rusher they've had for the past few years. Hali turned in another strong season in 2011, ranking 4th on ProFootballFocus among rush linebackers and producing 12 sacks, 10 quarterback hits, and 41 quarterback pressures on 459 pass rush snaps, good for a rate of 13.7%. However, the Chiefs only had 29 sacks.
In 2010, he had 19 sacks, 16 quarterback hits, and 68 quarterback pressures on 583 pass rush snaps, good for a rate of 15.9%. The Chiefs did manage 46 sacks, including playoffs, but nickel rusher Wallace Gilberry with 7 was the only other player on the team with more than 3. In 2009, he had 9 sacks, 13 quarterback hits, and 36 quarterback pressures on 449 pass rush snaps, good for a rate of 12.9%, but only Gilberry with 6 had more than 2 and the Chiefs managed 26 as a team.
They have an emerging pass rusher in Justin Houston opposite him. He played every snap except one from week 11 on and had most of his production in those 7 games, with 6 sacks, 2 quarterback hits, and 11 quarterback pressures on 151 pass rush snaps, a rate of 12.6%. It's no coincidence that the Chiefs had 20 of their 29 sacks in those 7 games.
However, the bad news for the Chiefs is that they'll have to play their week 1 game without Tamba Hali, after he was suspended for a surprisingly somehow previously unreported marijuana arrest. This is will really hurt their pass rush and is a huge blow to their defense. It really hurts their chances of pulling off an upset victory at home against a talented Falcons team that does struggle on the road.

Weather in Kenya
Kenya has a tropical climate. It is hot and humid at the coast, temperate inland and very dry in the north and northeast parts of the country. The country receives a great deal of sunshine all the year round and summer clothes are worn throughout the year. However, it is usually cool at night and early in the morning. Also given that Nairobi is at a high altitude, it can be quite cold even during the day between June and August. The long rain season occurs from April to June. The short rain season occurs from October to December. The rainfall is sometimes heavy and often falls in the afternoons and evenings. The hottest period is from February to March and coldest in July to August.
The annual animal migration - especially migration of the wildebeest - occurs between June and September with millions of animals taking part. It has been a popular event for filmmakers to capture.

Yeah, it's really funny when drives hit the wall.
Maybe one of the Busch brothers, but, who thinks its funny BTW?
Apparently you in post 179.
I dont know who is worse in this thread, you or bumfrd. You two can take can take things and read a whole lot into it. Kinda makes a lotta wives look objective Just sayn'
you are an example of what is wrong with fans
Danica finished 39th this week. 22nd in points.
That's OK. Anybody who reads your posts can figure out what's worse. Good job on the backhanded shot to wives too.
Your hitting all the right buttons.
But she drove a great race - you know, she did what she had to do
No buttons bro, just the truth.
That surely left a mark.
As Patrick said and it applies to every racer out there you will have good days and bad days. Jimmy Johnson will have bad days as well, he will have car issues or have an accident it is part of racing.
I don't think anyone has tried to compare her to Jimmy Johnson or Dale Earnhardt or Richard Petty. She is still new to NASCAR and feeling her way just as many men have in the sport.
Sorry but some of you act as if you want her to fail, why? It just leads to people feeling as if the reason is she is female. She has every right to race in NASCAR she is a professional driver who went from Indy to Nation Wide and now into sprint cup she is not the 1st to have taken this path.
And Stewart is 23 and Harvin is 30th, Kahne is 31 and the Busch Brothers are 32 and 33. And?
I dont sense anybody here WANTing her to fail.
I just sense the irrational exuberance of some of the Pro Super Danica crowd has been tempered by some reality and its been taken by them as opposition.
Irrational exuberance? Yes I want her to do good and yes what she did in Daytona was big for her and wish her more success.
She is trying to achieve something that many will not and do not want to see a woman actually doing something in NASCAR thankfully people who do know understand she has talent and willing to work with her but of course the critics can only mock but then most mock what they can't do anyways so who the hell cares what critics say.
Yes she gets attention why because in a field of 43 she is the only woman out there gosh that is not hard to figure out that she will get attention she will be put under the microscope some good and some bad but only an idiot can't figure out that being a woman in a historically male sports is going to get attention, it can't be that hard to figure out.
No one has claimed her the next great anything she is learning just as her male counter parts have had to learn.
Dude, who doesnt want her to do well?
I havent read that in this thread.
I know some of you guys cant contain yourselves, but try to withhold the slobbering until she has actually done something on the circuit.
I see those who think it is funny she crashed that is not someone wishing her well. I'm not slobbering over her yes I hope she does well. Last week the comments that oh it is Daytona no big race? Give me a fricken break, those in the sports consider it the Super Bowl of their sports they know how much it means so to see some geeks running around acting as if that race means nothing is a joke. Come on it is the Daytona 500 the biggest race in the sport and she could not get jack from her critics naw just slam but then that figure
Once again, I dont think anyone thot it was funny she hit the wall. Funny where she finished at 39th, especially with the Super Danica promoters in this thread, but nothing funny about actually hitting the wall.
You guys want to twist things and make it out like anybody that isnt fawning over her is just hateful and think its funny she wrecked. That isnt it at all. Whats funny is the irrational exuberance.
And as far as Daytona goes, the car is a huge factor in success at that track. Qualifying isnt as big a deal there as it is as some other tracks. Sure Daytona is a huge race, but that does nothing to change the reality of the racing on that track with plates.
Not twisting anything you act as if women are not allowed and because people pay attention to her you get upset? Give it a rest.
She had a hard race in Phoniex and? men with a lot more experiance than her had problems there too but no one is fricken knocking them.
And when people start belittleing a race like Daytona? Yes it is a plate race those are hard on the drivers and it is not me saying it it is the guys racing it. Knowing one screw up and you and others are out of the race there is little room for error this is side by side nose to tail racing and you can't escape anyone. One screw up you can go from 1st to last in a blink of an eye. The lady did a good job there but of course her critics who know more about racing than the people who do it for a living can't even give a simple thumbs up no it becomes well that is not real racing.
Whatever guy you and the others will not give her any credit so no need to even talk about it.

text: Net sales were $55.2 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared to second quarter 2012 net sales of $65.5 million, a decrease of 15.8%. The Company attributes the decrease in sales to the expected shift in timing of pre-season order shipments toward the third quarter compared to the prior year 65/35 split between the second and third quarters.Net income was $5.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share based on weighted average shares of 22.1 million shares, in the second quarter of 2013 compared to net income of $9.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share based on weighted average shares of 22.0 million shares, in the second quarter of 2012. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 was 36.2%. The estimated effective tax rate for full year 2013 is expected to be 38.0%. The Company reported Adjusted EBITDA of $14.4 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $19.6 million in the second quarter of 2012. Acquisition of TrynEx Assets As previously reported, Douglas Dynamics completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of TrynEx, Inc. on May 6, 2013. TrynEx has historically generated approximately $20 million in revenues and $3.0 to $4.0 million in EBITDA annually. Based on historical trends, shipments during the first half of the year are typically lower than during the second half of the year. As previously stated, the acquisition is expected to be accretive to earnings per share on a full-year basis in 2014 and free cash flow positive on a stand-alone basis in 2014. Mr. Janik noted, "With the completion of the TrynEx deal in early May, we have added a great set of new products to our portfolio and a great team of people. In the past few months, we have made excellent progress integrating our back office operations with the TrynEx assets and are leveraging shared expertise across the business. We look forward to continuing to explore and expand these new growth channels across market adjacencies and expanding our reach to new geographies via the acquisition."

SWARTHY-LOOKING cuddly ball of fun and sun, 4-year old toddler Clarence Day Tog-aco of Puguis-- a village in the upper rim overlooking Trinidad Valley in the Benguet part of the Cordilleras-- polishes off everything his mom offers him. Boiled chunks of sayote, kamote or gabi; fistfuls of parboiled crisp watercress; sticks of carrots, mustard or radish raw and crunchy; helpings of steamed saluyot tops; a leg of chicken pinikpikan; a wee tidbit of hearth-smoked pork called inasin; floret after floret of broccoli, mostly greens that most kids his age would squirm at, push away or refuse to sink their teeth on.
His mom confesses to a fondness for such humble fare. She has passed on that food fondness to her son, likely in keeping with the counsel of Israel's King Solomon, "Teach a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Compared to children in other parts of the country, one among five kids in the mountainous Cordillera region—the highest consumer of veggies among the nation's 16 regions, according to statistics-- is underweight. Bicol has the highest number of underweight kids-- two of every five children among 0-5 year olds. Statistics also show that there were about 4 million underweight pre-school children in 2001.
Underweight children points up malnutrition among our young. Experts from the Food Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) have estimated that it will take the Philippines more than 50 years before the problem of undernutrition can be totally eradicated.
Malnutrition aside, prevalence of anemia among infants to over 1-year olds has remained unabated since 1993. Fact is, anemia in this age group has increased from 49.2 percent to an alarming rate of 66%-- or 2 of every three Filipino children are anemic!
Mourn and moan: Brain and muscle debilities resulting from iron deficiency in childhood cannot be reversed by iron therapy in adolescence, as nutrition experts have it. That means those iron-deficient children won't realize their full potential. That means two of every three future Filipinos are impaired in both brain and brawn, in psyche and sinew… And didn't FNRI experts say it will take the Philippines more than 50 years before the problem of undernutrition can be totally eradicated?
Say, the typical Filipino diet remains rice and fish boiled with a little vegetable—which translates to less than 90% of the food energy the body needs, even lesser for needed nutrients to sustain good health and well-being.
Even so, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) notes that overweight and obesity are also prevalent in the country affecting a significant proportion of children, adolescents and adults, which predispose them to certain nutrition and health risks. This is evident in the rising trend in the prevalence of diseases of the heart and the vascular system.
In surveys comparing the urban and rural population, FNRI found the urban populace are heavy consumers of prestige foods such as meat, poultry, eggs including milk and milk products. The amounts consumed by those in urban areas were twice the amount consumed in rural areas. However, rural areas consumed more of the cheaper quality foods such as rice and products, corn and products, starchy roots and tubers and all types of vegetables.
Buying the cheaper food items and getting the most in quality nutrients out of food buys seem the most sensible tack. For now. For another, we need to come to grips—and square off-- with the nutrition woes that bedevil our children.

Cooke Sees Stadium in '94 SeasonBy Richard Justice
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, May 27, 1992; Page A01
Cooke indicated the seriousness of his intentions last week, when he attended his first NFL owners meeting in a decade to discuss methods of financing the stadium. He declined, however, to disclose to the owners where the stadium would be built.
The owners gave Cooke the assurances he sought that the league's revenue-sharing policies would remain unchanged and that he could use the revenue from the sale of luxury skyboxes and expensive club seats to help finance building the facility. It has been estimated Cooke could make $20 million to $25 million a year from rentals of luxury suites.
Cooke declined yesterday to discuss details, but did say he was moving forward with construction plans. "I believe it will be the finest stadium in America until someone builds a better one," he said. "That is our object, and I think we'll reach our goal. The commissioner {Paul Tagliabue} is delighted with my proposal to build a new stadium. One of his ambitions is for every club in the NFL to play in a stadium built solely for football."
The site of the stadium remains unresolved. On April 2 Cooke broke off negotiations with the District to build a facility next to RFK Stadium and has told at least one associate he has settled on a site in Northern Virginia. But a source familiar with the owner's plans said there was "a slim, very slim" chance negotiations with the District could reopen.
A spokesman for Mayor Sharon Pratt Kelly said last night that she is unaware of any plans Cooke may have for building a stadium in Virginia, and doubted any such reports were true. "We're still operating under the premise, as he's stated in letters, that his first preference is to remain in the District," said Vada Manager, Kelly's spokesman.
Three sites in Virginia have been discussed as possible homes for the new stadium -- one at the Shirley Highway (I-395)-Edsall Road junction in Fairfax County inside the Beltway, one near the Fair Oaks Mall in Fairfax County outside the Beltway and one in Loudoun County north of Dulles International Airport. The source familar with Cooke's thinking said yesterday that the Loudoun County site was the most likely.
George Barton, chairman of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, said he has had discussions with Cooke's staff on a couple of Loudoun locations. "We've been pursuing it very aggressively, but quietly," he said.
If Cooke is serious about moving the Redskins to Northern Virginia, it would leave the District without a professional sports team for the first time since the turn of the century. The Washington Senators departed RFK Stadium for Dallas/Fort Worth after the 1971 season, and the city has been without major league baseball since. The Redskins have played their games in the District since moving from Boston in 1937. They played at Griffith Stadium from 1937 until moving to the current facility, originally named D.C. Stadium, in 1961.
In August 1987 Cooke announced plans to build a stadium and immediately began negotiations with District officials. They have lasted 4 1/2 years without a conclusion. Cooke appeared on the verge of an agreement several times, and at different times both former mayor Marion Barry and his successor, Kelly, believed they'd reached deals.
Each time Cooke backed off or made new demands. Then on April 2, when city officials again thought they had a deal, Cooke pulled out of discussions. He declined to give a reason, but appears to have feared that clearing Environmental Protection Agency hurdles and several expected lawsuits from neighborhood groups would delay the project. At the time, Cooke wanted the facility finished in time to host portions of the 1994 World Cup soccer tournament.
District officials were skeptical about Cooke's proceeding with stadium construction after he abruptly pulled out of negotiations that essentially were finished. He told Interior Secretary Manuel Lujan Jr. he could not meet an April 3 deadline for concluding negotiations with the District. Cooke had hoped to use federal land for parking for the new stadium, but when he failed to meet the deadline Lujan said the land would be used for other projects.
RFK Stadium is the NFL's smallest facility with a capacity of 55,683 and has no luxury suites or club seats. League sources say the Redskins also have one of the NFL's least favorable leases, and Cooke recently threatened a move to Baltimore before signing a two-year extension.
The extension is the same as the original 30-year lease that expired after the 1990 season. Cooke wanted a deal similar to one the team had in 1991, when it received 20 percent of concession revenue, 25 percent of parking revenue and 25 percent of in-house stadium advertising revenue as well as paying a reduced percentage of regular season and postseason ticket sales to the Armory Board as rent.
Instead, he got the original terms that former Redskins owner George Preston Marshall agreed to in 1960. That lease requires the Redskins to pay 12 percent of its ticket revenue for the regular season and 15 percent during the postseason. The Redskins receive no revenue from parking, concessions or advertising. The interim deal was offered to the team in 1991 at a time when the Redskins and the District were negotiating on the new stadium.
Cooke was unhappy with the arrangement, pointing out that it wasn't as good as the deal the District had offered Metropolitan Washington Baseball, which was unsuccessful in obtaining a National League expansion franchise last year.
After Cooke broke off negotiations, District officials privately speculated that he never intended to build a stadium. Cooke had said he would pay for the stadium if the city provided $60 million for improved roads, lighting and sewers.
Cooke has told associates that environmental regulations and other hurdles would have pushed the start of the project back by a year or more. City officials emphasized that Cooke had known of the environmental regulations and possible neighborhood opposition from the moment he announced the deal.
Staff writers Peter Baker, Steve Bates and Rene Sanchez contributed to this report.

Conservation of element concentration in xylem sap of red spruce

We investigated the chemistry of xylem sap as a marker of red spruce metabolism and soil chemistry at three locations in northern New England. A Scholander pressure chamber was used to extract xylem sap from roots and branches cut from mature trees in early June and September. Root sap contained significantly greater concentrations of K, Ca, Mg, Mn, and Al than branch sap. Sap collected in June contained a signficantly greater concentration of Mn than sap collected in September. Sap concentration was related to forest location for N and Mn. Variations in concentrations of N and K were significantly related to the interaction of tree organ and month of collection. Variations in concentrations of P, Cu, Zn, and Fe were not attributable to tree organ, month of collection, or forest location. Patterns of element concentration in xylem sap compared to previously published data on soil solution chemistry indicated a high degree of homeostatic control of xylem sap chemistry. This control likely represents a significant allocation of resources within the tree energy budget.
