Disco DeceitMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
"I could have been killed, Inspector Wright!" cried Sam Dancer as the brilliant detective stepped in his disco.
"Tell me what happened," Inspector Wright asked.
"I was closing my disco and then this guy came with a gun. He took all my money and took a shot at me. Luckily, it only scraped past my arm," Sam said, showing him a bandaged flesh wound. "I didn't touch anything. I have seen enough detective movies to know that you would want to look for clues."
Inspector Wright stood in the middle of the mirrored walls that perfectly reflected the scene of the crime.
"You left one clue too many Sam. Or maybe you didn't leave it. You are lying."
Why didn't Inspector Wright believe Sam's story?
HintRead the problem again.
AnswerIf the "bullet" just scraped past Sam's arm, one of the mirrored walls would be broken.

Photo Gallery: Quick Home Makeover Tips
Freshen up a room on the fly.
Retile a backsplash for a quick, easy change.
Designer and W Network star Jennifer Reid chose tiles that shimmer like little jewels. "We wanted a gradient or shaded tile effect for the backsplash, but it was super-expensive," says Reid. "Instead, we purchased tile and created the effect ourselves by exchanging the dominant grey tiles for white ones."
For more ideas, browse our Quick Home Makeover Tips photo gallery, Budget Decorating Ideas photo gallery, plus read an interview with homeowner/designer Jennifer Reid.
Create a sense of continuity with matching patterns.
To freshen up an office nook in a living room, add an upholstered corkboard behind the desk in the same fabric as throw cushions to ease flow from one area to the next.

Match the tub to the walls for an updated look.
Toronto blogger Emma Reddington painted the original pale mustard-coloured tub and white walls in a black-blue shade for dramatic effect in her upstairs bathroom. The medicine cabinet, pendant light and towel rack are the room's only new additions.

Hang old family photos for a personal touch.
A contemporary drapery fabric balances the more traditional chandelier and table. A wall of archival photos in simple white frames fills the large wall perfectly without investing in a pricey piece of art.
Paint window frames for a contemporary hit.
This mid-century living room window got an instant update with dramatic black paint. No need to hide this beauty behind drapery; homeowner Tanya Linton chose a demure roller blind instead to let the black frame take centre stage.

Frame simple Ikea bookshelves in trim for a custom look.
The intense colours of the walls and bookcase backing are set off by crisp white trim and shelving. The scale and size of the bookshelves offer plenty of storage for office items, and also add character to the large space.
Give the front door new life with bold paint.
This home's soft grey palette creates a calm, neutral canvas for a gutsy bright yellow door. To keep the focus on the eye-catching entrance, the surrounding garden was kept simple and green. Perennials like sandcherry and "Limelight" hydrangeas add depth and variation, and better integrate the house to the street. Beds of hostas and impatiens edge either side of the walkway and draw the eye toward a welcoming seagrass stair runner.

Add impact in a small space with fabric.
H&H style editor Sarah Hartill gave her basement laundry room a quick and easy makeover by covering an old sink stand with a pretty floral skirt and adding a graphic print rug to warm up the cold floor tile. A countertop built to fit over the laundry machines provides a folding surface, while simple stainless steel shelves store various supplies.

Police arrested Anthony Ray Lane, a suspect in an Alderpoint homicide investigation, at a Willits motel early Friday morning, according to a Humboldt County Sheriff's Office press release.
The Willits Police Department located the stolen 2000 black Jeep Cherokee -- believed to have been driven by Lane -- in the parking lot of a motel in the Willits area at around 11:30 p.m. Thursday, according to the release.
At around 12:30 a.m. Friday, WPD officers found Lane in one of the motel rooms with assistance from Mendocino County Sheriff's Office deputies and arrested him on suspicion of murder and possession of a stolen vehicle.
According to the release, Lane was taken to the Humboldt County line where he was taken into custody by Humboldt County Sheriff's deputies and then later booked into the Humboldt County jail on suspicion of murder and possession of a stolen vehicle.
At 8:50 a.m. Thursday morning, a woman called the Humboldt County sheriff's office to report she discovered her stepfather dead when she visited his house after not hearing from him for four days. Deputies responded to the 3700 block of Rancho Sequoia Drive in Alderpoint, determined the death to be suspicious and issued the "be on the lookout" for Lane and the car.
The name of the victim is being withheld until additional family members can be notified.
The motive for the suspected homicide is still being investigated, and the cause of death will not be released until after an autopsy -- which is scheduled for Saturday -- is concluded in order to not jeopardize the investigation, according to the release.
The release states that this case does not appear to be connected to a marijuana cultivation investigation that took place on the 4000 and 45000 blocks of Rancho Sequoia Drive. It also states that the suspected homicide does not appear to be a home invasion, marijuana related or in association with the Garret Rodriguez missing person investigation.
The sheriff's office is asking anyone with information regarding this homicide case to call Investigator Detective Cheryl Franco at 268-3644 or the crime tip line at 268-2539.

For busy women, 'me time' recharges the body and spirit
Forget about candy and flowers for that special woman in your life. The best Valentine's Day gift is "me time."
The stress and pressures of managing a family, career, relationships and households can overwhelm even the most skilled multi-taskers. Women tend to place the needs and demands of loved ones — husbands, children, parents — above their own priorities.
In addition, women often feel guilty for taking time to recharge and improve themselves.
However, a little "me time" is the key to strengthening women's spirits and overall health. Long-term stress takes a toll on mental and physical health, leading to ailments such as depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, obesity through "emotional eating" and menstrual problems. Multiple news reports also cite the health benefits of relaxation and stress reduction.
That's where "me time" can help. Many women schedule that window of time early in the morning while their husbands and children are still sleeping.
For example, at Victory Get Fit Club in Federal Way, the most popular workout session starts just after 5 a.m. The small gym caters to women of all ages with more of a community atmosphere, as opposed to the intimidating presence of a corporate fitness facility that's packed with equipment. Women write their goals on a chalkboard wall, holding each other accountable with pledges to drink more water, stick to a meal plan, or get more sleep.
"It makes people feel special and noticed," said co-owner Clem Lafrades, herself a mother who wants to foster a sense of community and build relationships through the gym. "Fitness trends come and go. We stick to what works for you."
Every Friday, Lafredes asks her female clients what they are proud of about themselves. She is surprised at how they struggle to answer the question, which stems from the women being accustomed to putting other people's needs ahead of their own.
"To build self-confidence," she said, "you need to be proud of yourself."
Mia Redrick, author of "Time for Mom-Me: 365 Daily Strategies for A Mother's Self-care," wrote in the Huffington Post that "when you are happier, you are a better parent." Redrick urges mothers to make "me time" a daily ritual by finding personal escapes such as a gym workout or reading a book.
"Self-care is an important part of motherhood," Redrick wrote. "Your children benefit directly from your personal growth. Growing your life allows you to share more of you with your children."
'Me time' suggestions
Here are a few suggestions for "me time," whether you have five minutes or one hour, according to Webmd.com:
• Get a manicure, pedicure or a massage
• Take a nap
• Take a brisk walk at a park or around the block, or plan a long walk with a friend
• Find a class you want to take, just for fun
• Soak in the bathtub
• Keep a book, magazine or crossword puzzle nearby for short escapes
• Focus on petting your cat or dog for five uninterrupted minutes
• Just sit on the porch with a cup of coffee and watch the clouds go by — and leave the phone/calendar inside

The Food and Drug Administration and the Center for Food Safety have until June 10 to agree on the timing for release of pending food safety rules related to the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act.
The Center for Food Safety sued the FDA, claiming it unlawfully delayed food safety regulations, and the consumer group won the argument. Most of the food safety regulations related to the Food Safety Modernization Act were supposed to be issued in 2012. The FDA was ordered by the U.S. District Court in Oakland to consult with the center to agree by May 20 on a schedule when it would release rules on foreign supplier verification, third party certification standards and other regulations.
Judge Phyllis Hamilton of the Oakland U.S. District Court issued a ruling May 21 that extended the deadline for the agreement to June 10 after the two parties were unable to come to terms on a date by May 20.
Ray Gilmer of United Fresh Produce Association said earlier in May that the FDA shouldn't be rushed by the courts, considering the complexity and technical nature of the food safety issues involved.

Oh my Samsung galaxy S3 is quad core oh oh oh and yeah it will destroy iPhone 5 errrr no lol can't stop laughing. Where are the android fanboys now I mean don't get me wrong I have a htc one x and a lumia I like to try all platforms but the way I see the android fanboys come here and give that makes me laugh so guys its not all about the aize of the CPU and also I know you will mention yeah the galaxy S4 it's not here yet either way.
Wow!! Apple smashing the competition! Apple realizes i"ts not the size of the device...it's about how you use it"!!
Looks like "the next big thing" is indeed...already here!
"But wait, Android specs are so much higher and better than iPhone 5...the numbers don't lie!
How can the iPhone 5 be faster???"
Ohhhhh, that's right...I forgot Apple that actually pays attention to making its hardware work at its full potential and they make that hardware work smarter.
"But it just looks like a stretched iPhone 4/4S"
Ohhhh, that's right. Apple took the time to determine that typing on-the-go w/ one hand is still feasible with their new screen dimension. After all, this is still a phone...not a tablet.
"But I don't mind typing w/ two hands..."
Good luck avoiding crashing into people or having them crash into you while you have to stop in the middle of a sidewalk to type on your 5" screen!
Stupid Fandroids!
Samsung has to put out commercials like that, it's the only way they can try and compare with Apple....not that it's working...The iPhone 5 is incredibly fast and the screen size is perfect. How many android phones have to come out to try and beat the one latest and greatest that Apple has out?....
Ha! Android... Get that **** out of here!!!

Female soldiers train on a firing range in Fort Campbell, Ky., in September 2012. (Mark Humphrey/AP)
Rape in the military is a lot like rape in civilian life. Rapists rape because they can, because the stigma is placed on the victim not the rapist. And the more closed and hierarchical an institution is, the more the victim is stigmatized and the rapist gets away with it. This what happens in the church and it is what happens in the military.
I have done volunteer rape crisis counseling as a pastor, and have written about the multiple crises inherent in sexual assault, as in my chapter on rape and healing with ethicist Mary Pellauer.
Sexual predators love secrecy, they thrive on it. Therefore, the first thing that has to happen is that the cover-up must end. Just as with child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, that doesn't end the abuse, but ending the secrecy can become the beginning, a way to move toward justice for those who have been victimized, and ultimately to prevention and change.
Today there's no hiding the staggering numbers on sexual assault in the military any more. The Pentagon has just released a new report that shows sexual assaults in the military are up sharply, up to the rate of 70 per day. That translates into almost three rapes every hour, all day long, all night long, every twenty-four hours.
This shocking report comes just after the Air Force officer in charge of the Air Force's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office was charged with sexual battery, and following a string of reports on sexual assault in the military, especially in the Air Force.
President Obama has expressed frustration with the failure of the Pentagon to effect change. The President also said he had instructed Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel "to step up our game exponentially " to prevent sex crimes in the military and hold offenders accountable.
It's not going to work.
The military, like many institutional churches, is a closed system. Change cannot come from within and it has not. The Service Women's Action Network fact sheet on "Rape, Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment in the Military" states there have been "25 years of Pentagon studies, task forces, and congressional hearings" and this violence continues to occur at "alarming rates."
The military system cannot fix itself from the inside, because the culture itself has produced this result. Rape culture in the military is a product of the gender and power relations of military culture.
Cultures change slowly, but they do not change at all without outside pressure. That is why the approach of the Service Women's Action Network is an example of how to get the kind of change that is needed. It is a classic civil rights approach, where the voices and agency of servicewomen and women veterans drives the work. They recommend that service members be allowed access to civil courts in these kinds of cases.
In regard to military sexual assault it is absolutely crucial to take the prosecution of the accused out of the chain of command and allow service members access to civil courts. Both women and men are sexually assaulted in the military, so this must apply to all in the services. To get real change, you have to actually take investigation and prosecution outside the current culture.
BriGette McCoy, a former Army specialist, testified before the Senate Armed Services committee's subcommittee on personnel about being raped and sexually harassed in the military.
Her words illustrate why a closed system like the military will never be able to reform itself:
"I no longer have any faith or hope that the military chain of command will consistently prosecute, convict, sentence and carry out the sentencing of sexual predators in uniform without absconding justice somehow," she said.
Military rapists rape because they can. That has to stop being the case. Take the investigation and prosecution of rape in the military out of the chain of command. Consult the excellent website Protect our Defenders for support and advocacy information.
Three rapes every hour in the military is an outrage. We don't need more Pentagon "action" or congressional hearings, and we don't need more promises.
We need real change.

Impressive New Superheroes And Villains...
Kotobukiya has some great licenses, not least of which is DC Comics. At Toy Fair the Koto booth included quite the lineup of upcoming DC products ranging from the Justice League ARTFX+ series to Bishoujo figures and even some surprises. So far we've reviewed Superman, Green Lantern, and Flash from the New 52 Justice League line, so it was cool to see the entire seven-figure lineup on display; the others looked great especially the beautiful Wonder Woman and the imposing Cyborg. Look for those to continue to roll out over the next few months. The first big news was that Kotobukiya will be releasing a New 52 Deathstroke ARTFX statue! Sculpted by Junnosuke Abe, the Terminator will come with both masked and unmasked display options. An inside source says we will be seeing more New 52 characters on the way, maybe even more teams.
In Koto's larger scale statue line the Joker made an appearance in the Killing Joke version, a very creepy presentation complete with spotlight and little leather-clad cherub. The next big statue release will be a powerful ARTFX Superman: For Tomorrow sculpted by Kouei Matsumoto (who also crafted the popular Batman Black Costume ARTFX). On display from the DC Bishoujo series were Power Girl, Huntress, and Harley Quinn. Meanwhile, art on display of the upcoming Black Canary promises this will be quite an impressive statue!
Also on display were Koto's cute Korejanai Justice League mini figures, now available for $5.99 each. What wasn't on display was the upcoming Man of Steel ARTFX statue, but rumors are that it will be very impressive.

It's easy to get worked up when you see a wrinkle, and start smearing your face with every anti aging product you can find. However, should you cater your skincare regimen on your age, you just might find that your skin continues to glow with each passing year! No one necessarily looks forward to their first sign of crow's feet, dark circles, forehead creases or other signs of aging on the face. Unfortunately, wrinkles are a fact of life, but fighting them doesn't have to consume your day to day.
In your 20s...
If you spot your first wrinkle in your 20's, remember - stress only makes wrinkles worse! When you do start to see lines, hydrate right away to plump the skin, exfoliate, then start using a skin-firming cream like La Thérapie Crème Hydralift Intensive Lifting Cream for face and neck.
Aside from fighting off minor wrinkles, your main goal in your 20s is to protect your skin from the sun's UVA and UVB rays, which break down collagen and cause wrinkles and age spots. Ellen Marmur, vice chair of dermatologic and cosmetic surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, told Glamour Magazine that sunscreen will prevent at least 50 percent of skin aging issues, making it the single most important step in your daily skincare regimen.
In your 30s...
At this point, your estrogen levels are starting to dip, which means you will start to produce less collagen and your skin will become a bit thinner - less able to hold moisture and more prone to wrinkles. To stave them off, you will need to give your nightly skincare regimen a boost, Glamour reports. In addition to an anti aging night cream, 30-somethings should add anti aging eye care to their arsenal, too. Look for products with antioxidants in them, Oprah Magazine recommends. These will help fight free radicals that cause signs of aging and boost sun protection, promoting the appearance of youthful eyes.
In your 40s...
As you reach 40, your face will continue to lose collagen but also fat, which can reveal flattering, high cheekbones. However, with thinner skin comes more risk for wrinkle formation, so it's a good idea to rev up your anti aging products even more, according to Real Simple. Look for products that combine several proven ingredients like antioxidants and alpha hydroxy acids.
Your regimen can actually be simplified, though. Glamour claims you can skip washing your face in the morning - those oils you needed to wash away in your 20s are actually crucial to your skin's health and hydration now, so a splash of water is all you need.

The job stinks, relatively speaking.
If it isn't faceless, then it's thankless. If it isn't powerless, then it's rudderless.
For Democrats, the role of minority leader in the Florida House has carried all the prestige of the valedictorian for remedial math.
Once upon a time, Democrats held a lopsided 84-36 advantage on Republicans in the state House. That was before losing ground in a remarkable 11 consecutive election cycles, handing majority control to Republicans along the way in 1996.
Since then, being the Democratic leader in the House hasn't looked like an obvious stepping stone to greatness. You rarely count victories as the minority leader; you just hope not to lose too badly.
So why is Darryl Rouson fighting so hard for this job?
The three-term representative from St. Petersburg has worked tirelessly — and ruffled some feathers in the process — while getting in position to potentially claim the 2014 minority leader job in a vote of the Democratic caucus on Wednesday in Tallahassee.
What Rouson sees is a window of opportunity. Democrats picked up five seats in November to end the Republican super majority.
If they pick up a similar number in 2014, they will also be in play on votes that require a three-fifths majority, and will have their strongest voice in the House in nearly 20 years.
"What if we pick up those seats? What if we pick up eight to 10?" Rouson says, his voice getting more animated. "Not only can we stop procedural stuff, then they have to come to us on policy. So we become a relevant and powerful minority. And that's the vision.
"The vision is not to accept this defeatist attitude. Don't accept that we are relegated to the dregs of being just a minority party. I refuse to believe that."
This is why Rouson has put 7,000 miles on his car in recent months. He drove to Miami to walk neighborhoods with Rep. Jose Javier Rodriguez. He stood on a street corner in Orlando with Rep. Karen Castor Dentel. He met with candidates at Turnpike rest stops, and raised close to $70,000 in a political committee to be used for House campaigns.
With two dozen freshmen Democrats coming to Tallahassee next month, Rouson saw a chance to make a strong first impression on a sizable number of colleagues.
Meanwhile, Rep. Mia Jones of Jacksonville, who is deputy for current minority leader Perry Thurston and apparently planned on a smooth succession to the top seat, has been critical of Rouson's blatant campaigning for the job.
Rouson does not worry about the jabs. In fact, he embraces the idea that he has been hustling for votes.
He pulls out a white binder filled with enough pledge cards from House members that he says should guarantee him the minority leader position when it comes to a vote Wednesday night.
"I got this as a result of my work ethic," Rouson said. "What I wished to demonstrate … is if you think I worked like this just to get your pledge to become leader, guess how hard I'm going to work to put the Democratic Party in position to pick up more seats.
"I have emailed, I have called, I have written, I have texted, I have visited. I treated every representative as if they were a voter back home in my district and I wanted to win an election. I have done all I could."

O'Neill has been hard at work in their area 52 labs coming up with the latest wetsuit tech, and this time around they have come up with something truly awesome. The new Mutant 4.5/3.5 with Techno Butter Neoprene and Super Seam Weld Technology is about as versatile a wetsuit as you can get.

Angels looking for Lowe to help solidify bullpen
TEMPE, Ariz. -- In an attempt to bolster their bullpen, the Angels signed right-hander Mark Lowe to a Minor League contract on Wednesday.
The 29-year old Lowe was released by the Dodgers on Sunday and had allowed four earned runs in 8 2/3 innings this spring.
"It was a good Spring Training," Lowe said. "I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish, there are just a lot of guys over there, a lot of arms."
Lowe spent the 2012 season with the Rangers, for whom he appeared in 36 games and posted a 3.43 ERA. Angels manager Mike Scioscia believes Lowe still has quality stuff in his arsenal.
"His stuff looks every bit of what he's had the last three or four years," Scioscia said. "He's got a power arm and if he's throwing the ball the way we anticipate, there's no doubt he will have an opportunity to help in the 'pen."
The Angels were slated to get their first look at Lowe on Wednesday during a bullpen session. He will get another glance at some point during the upcoming Freeway Series.
Lowe said he would not object to starting the season in the Minors, although he would obviously like to start with the Major League club.
While Lowe is certainly a late addition, he can help solidify a bullpen that has underperformed for the Angels throughout the Cactus League season.
"I think some of the guys obviously are coming [along] slowly," Scioscia said. "Some of the guys who have been fighting for spots have not shown their best stuff. Some things have not gotten as settled as we would have liked."

CLEARLAKE OAKS -- A retired postmaster stepped forward at a news conference Tuesday to claim his $14 million prize.
Antonio Velasquez, 69, served as postmaster for Clearlake and Clearlake Oaks.
Velasquez purchased his winning ticket at the Red and White Store in Clearlake Oaks last week.
Owner Gary Nylander said Velasquez was a regular at the store.
"I've been selling him lottery tickets for 25 years," Nylander said. "He's a pretty nice man."
A second winning ticket was purchased at a supermarket in the Bay Area city of Milpitas, so Velasquez will split the $28 million jackpot.
The other winner has not yet come forward.
Erin Ferguson, a manager at Red and White, said it was the first winning Super Lotto ticket purchased in either Lake or Mendocino counties.
The California Lottery awarded the store with 0.5 percent of the jackpot, which totals $70,000.
Nylander said the money would go into the store.
"We've had a few lean years," he said. "We had to drop (health) insurance. That might get reinstated for employees. We might put scanners in. The store needs a lot of improvements. This is a nice little windfall to help us bring things up to date."

Category: Avril Lavigne
Today being Canada Day–which is roughly equivalent to the US Independence Day–it seems like a good opportunity to browse through the bilingual Canadian name bank and see what we can find–actually, more unusual–even exotic– names than you might expect. For instance, in the French colonies known as Acadia, there are such boys' names as:
January Jones, the attractive star of the hot TV show Mad Men has focused a lot of attention on her (real) name, but what's the prognosis for the other calendar baby names?
JANUARY, named after Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and ends, has a real history as a name, dating back to the Chaucer's Canterbury Tales character in The Merchant's Tale, a wealthy, elderly knight. Flash forward to the 1970s for a complete image transformation via the Jacqueline Susann soap-operaish novel Once is Not Enough's heroine, "the luscious January Wayne." (The South Dakota-bred January Jones told Town & Country magazine that she was named for the Susann character.) Put it all together, and you have the sexiest month name, and one that has the best chance of catching on.
FEBRUARY. The shortest month of the year has the least potential as a baby name, mostly because of its awkward pronunciation. You could consider its birthstone, Amethyst, instead.
MARCH, named after Mars, the Roman god of war, is the most masculine of the group, and is beginning to be used for boys, particularly as a strong, brisk middle name. It's also a surname name, exemplified by the beloved March family in Little Women.
APRIL, from the Latin word meaning to open, as in the opening buds of spring, has been in name-style limbo for a a couple of decades, but might be due for an early comeback. Its prominent role in Revolutionary Road, portrayed by Kate Winslet, could breathe new life into it. It also has appealing musical references via songs like I'll Remember April and April in Paris. Singer Avril Lavigne has drawn attention to the French version.
MAY, which started as a pet form of both Mary and Margaret, was wildly popular at the turn of the 20th century, in both real life and fiction–writers like Henry James and Edith Wharton used it for their pure and innocent heroines. The Mae spelling, as in Mae West, was much saucier. Some modern parents have begun to use May as a sweet, old-fashioned middle name, but others–including actress Madeline Stowe,–have recognized its potential as a first.
JUNE was the midcentury goody-goody girl, exemplified by June Allyson in movies and quintessential TV Mom June (Leave it to Beaver) Cleaver. Some parents might prefer the livelier Juno, but June–recently picked by actor/oil heir Balthazar Getty for his daughter–has the no-nonsense solidity many parents are seeking in these difficult times. A hipster favorite middle name.
JULY, named for Juilius Caesar, has been used infrequently, and then usually as a male name–there was a character named July Anderson in Lonesome Dove. But it could conceivably be an offbeat namesake for an Aunt Julie or an Uncle Julius.
AUGUST, like the word with the accent on the second syllable, has a somewhat serious image, associated with two heavyweight playwrights–Strindberg and Wilson. It has some celebrity cred, having been chosen by Mariska Hargitay, Lena Olin and Jeanne Tripplehorn. Garth Brooks turned August into a female option when he used it for his daughter.
SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER all have limited potential, the Latin Septimus and Octavius having more history as names. On the other hand, hip writer Dave Eggers did name his daughter October….
TRIVIA TIDBIT: The novel and movie The Secret Life of Bees had characters named April, May, June and August.

The Santa Clara County Association of Realtors issued a warning to local realtors and the public regarding a scam that is affecting the real estate community at the local and national levels.
In recent months, a number of real estate professionals in Silicon Valley and throughout the country have reported that their for-sale listings are being turned into for-rent ads by an unauthorized third party. The for-rent ads are posted on craigslist.org, forrentbyowner.com, Trulia and apartments.com.
When potential renters respond to the for-rent advertisement, the perpetrator explains that the home is unavailable to show or can't be shown at the time, then offers an unbelievably low price to lure people in. Enticed, many fill out the counterfeit rental application including private, confidential information such as Social Security numbers and birthdates. Sometimes, potential renters are even convinced to place a deposit on the house or apartment.
The unsuspecting consumers who thought they had a new place to call home suddenly find themselves duped. They're out of the money and their identity has been compromised. It's not until later that they learn the home they negotiated and planned to move into was never available for rent.
"A lot of realtors have been affected by this," said Carl San Miguel, president of the county association. "We want the real estate community and the general public to know that it's a hoax. By creating awareness, we can hopefully reduce the number of people affected by the scam in the future."
Lisa Blaylock of Coldwell Banker in San Jose said she has experienced the scheme on four properties she represented in the past few months. She put a message on her voicemail informing callers that if they are inquiring about a property for rent, it is a scam.
According to realtors, consumers should be skeptical if they are:
• Quoted a price that is too good to be true.
• Asked for a substantial deposit before the property has even been shown or the keys are handed over.
• Asked to wire money.
• Receiving communications via email only and the alleged realtor is located elsewhere, out of town or even out of the country.
Consumers can protect themselves by:
• Having the person they're communicating with show them the property first. They have a right to view the real estate in person.
• Driving by the property to check for a For Sale sign. Often the sign will disappear from the yard soon after an ad goes on the Internet advertising the property as a rental.

San Marcos may soon be home to a Sonic Drive-In.
On Monday night, the San Marcos Planning Commission will consider approving a conditional use permit for the popular drive-in restaurant.
That would allow for the construction of a Sonic on the southeast corner of Grand Avenue and Via Vera Cruz, just south of State Route 78 and a few blocks south of Palomar College.
The company is seeking to build a 1,795 square-foot restaurant with an 899 square-foot outdoor dining area on about a 1-acre lot, according to a city report.
City officials have recommended Sonic for approval. The planning commission is set to meet at 6:30 p.m. inside council chambers at San Marcos City Hall.
A Sonic spokeswoman could not immediately be reached to discuss the restaurant's potential construction timeline.
Steve Kildoo, a city planning commissioner and head of the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, said he's excited about the possibility of Sonic coming to town.
"Sonic's got a good reputation," Kildoo said. "It's relatively new to Southern California. Getting one here is a neat thing for San Marcos."
Sonic restaurants are located in Vista, Santee and at two locations on Camp Pendleton.

Our resident nerd and car computer enthusiast, Sean Clark, won't shut up about tablets. Not a day goes by that he isn't half-rambling on about the potential benefits of integrating a tablet into his already tech-laden vehicle. So, if for no other reason than to give Sean the opportunity to get it out of his system, I thought I'd ask him a few pointed questions about why this tablet trend is going to be so... well, trendy. Here is Sean Clark, in his own words (and even and interjection by Rob Wray).
CAP: Why tablets? What benefits do they offer someone that are above and beyond a car computer?
SC: Off the top of my head, I can think of three big reasons:
a) The screen. You can spend over $1000 and still not get a screen that's as dreamy to touch as a tablet. All of these tablets have glass, capacitive (more on this below), multi-touch displays that have a coating to keep your finger happy. All of these CarPC displays are resistive (more on this below), plasticy, and single touch. There are SOME that are multi touch, and some that are capacitive, but it's inferior technology that cannot compare.
b) The Price. Tablets can cost as little as $600 for a fully functional computer plus a multi-touch screen. That same package is gonna run you close to $800 and you will still have to run a ton of wires.
c) The Software. Software on CarPC's is always growing and always developing. But the market for car PC developers is maybe .6% the size of the Android market, and an even lower percentage of the iOS developer market. You just get access to way more apps and way more customization to the user's liking when you go android.
Rob - I'm not so sure that stat is accurate - and the car PC developers may disagree.
Sean - Well, it's true that there are many more apps, but they may not necessarily be car centric. Rob - I can agree with that. There is just no "front-end" glue holding it all together. Very similar to the Car PC market in the late 90s. A bunch of random software with no glue.
CAP: What are the differences in the monitor and touch screen? Why would this be particularly helpful in a vehicle?
SC: A normal car PC touchscreen is between 7 and 10 inches, is 'resistive,' and single touch. Resistive by definition means that you have to contact 2 layers together at a point to create the touch input. That means you will, on some level, feel the 2 layers. That gives the screen a softer feeling. Which is actually bad. Softer screen means more friction, which means more heat your finger generates when trying to swipe and gesture. Which brings me to my second point: gestures. CarPCs aren't really geared towards gestures. Because the screen is so "one touch," the software and displays are designed to treat "your finger as a mouse." Tablets have been designed to treat your finger(s) as a NEW input device. This means that you're expected to swipe and make gestures with one or more fingers.
Let's take scrolling for example. On a car PC, you would tap down and up arrow buttons. But on a tablet, you just swipe up and down, a much more natural interface for the user to use, and the displays make this all possible for tablets.
CAP: How would you integrate one into a car? What size would you need?
SC: The biggest challenge one faces when installing a tablet into the car is the fact that they don't conform to any auto standards. A lot of cars generally have a double DIN-sized opening (or close to that) which a 7 inch display can be fabricated into. That is to say - the 7 inch screen can be taken apart, and is now SMALLER than the double din size, which means it can be built in. A 7 inch tablet cannot be taken apart. So the bezel on the tablet will make the tablet BIGGER than the double DIN-sized opening. Therefore you will need CUSTOM installation for a tablet. So if you can't blow fiberglass or weld metal, your looking at $1200-$1,500 for a custom installation.
CAP: Where are we headed? Beyond the early adoption phase, what features do you see a tablet performing that might be exciting horizon concepts?
SC: I see room for what we call a "black box". There is still a void with tablets that car PC's still fill: connecting to hardware. Because of all the USB and serial hardware that has been created over the years, you can control your lights, engine features, remote functions, tuning and more with your car PC. None of that exists for tablets (except for the engine diagnostics). A black box would fill this void; it would interface with all of this hardware, and then translate its data to the tablet. Once this black box is made, the tablet will be able to do everything the car PC can do, including all the bells, whistles and customizations car PC hackers love.

FREMONT — The last defendant arrested in three armed robberies that took place in the Bay Area was convicted and sentenced this week for his role in the stickups.
Roderick Lane, 22, of Oakland, was found guilty of robbery and grand theft on Wednesday and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, said Fremont police spokeswoman Geneva Bosques.
During separate trials, jurors found that Lane and two other men — Korey Haulcy, 25, of Union City, and Michael Fletcher, 18, of San Leandro — committed three robberies Nov. 12, 2010, at automated teller machines in Fremont, Newark and Union City.
In each heist the group approached someone at an ATM, pointed a gun at the victim and demanded money. A victim in one case was beaten when he refused to comply.
Police also discovered that the same three suspects also robbed a jewelry store in Fremont a few days after the ATM robberies.
Fletcher was found guilty of robbery in May 2012 and sentenced to 18 months in jail. Haulcy was found guilty of robbery and grand theft in April 2013 and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Laser Cutting Display Glass
Corning Laser Technologies' laser cutting processes employ ultra-short laser pulses (in the picosecond range) that cut the glass utilizing nonlinear processes. This ensures a low cut face roughness, increased cut bend strength, and a higher throughput. Corning Laser Technologies laser glass cutting thus enables a higher quality, output and yield in the high volume production of touchscreen displays for smart phones, tablet PCs and other consumer products.
Smooth Edges and High Break Strength
Even without post processing, the edge roughness achieved by our cutting process is < 2µm. In most cases the glass can be used 'as cut', saving on post-processing time and cost. Glass pieces cut with Corning Laser Technologies' laser process have superior break strength behavior, compared to items singulated by other laser and conventional glass cutting processes.

Most women understand how to put together a makeup look using certain beauty products. However, for busy career ladies and moms, learning how to look your best may seem too time consuming. Luckily, Shape magazine recently broke down the easiest - and best - beauty tips to try.
Layer your liner
If you've ever tried to create the cat-eye or even smokey-eye styles, you might have had to battle with getting your liquid liner to go on smoothly. According to the experts, applying eye liner is one of the hardest parts of doing makeup, but there is a way to perfect it.
Instead of going straight for your liquid liner, start your desired look using a pencil eyeliner instead. Using a pencil is easier, so set up the cat-eye or other looks with this product, and then go over it with the liquid version. Trust us, it will change your beauty routine forever.
Nourish your hair
Another issue many fashionistas face, especially during the colder months, is dry, brittle hair. This problem can arise no matter what type of products you use, but there is a way to curb it. One beauty expert told the news outlet the key to luxurious and smooth locks has to do with leaving a conditioner in overnight about once a month. When you wash the conditioner out in the morning, your hair will seem healthier than ever.
If you're not into sleeping in conditioner, it might be smart to instead invest in hair products with repairing ingredients. Steiner Rehab Hair Therapy for Damaged Hair might be the ultimate solution. This cream works to nourish and strengthen your locks, while helping to protect it from the harmful effects of heat styling.
Healthy skin in all seasons
Taking good care of your complexion is an important part of aging with grace. It can take a lot of effort to look as young as you feel, but starting with a well planned face washing and moisturizing regimen is a solid jumping off point. The beauty elite at Shape report it's best to wash your face with a gentle skin care product in the morning and to use a hearty moisturizer at night.
Using a milk face wash like La Tehrapie Lait Demaquillant Peaux Seches - Gentle Cleansing Milk for dry skin in the mornings might be suitable. This gentle face cleanser helps wash away imperfections, while helping to maintain your skin's natural moisture levels.

Although with this weather who would know!?
So the weather has been uber nice, which has helped us do quite a bit in our efforts to get ready for 2013. Pirates of the Wildwoods is getting a new floor. Boat Tag is getting an overhaul, so much so that it sits in nice little rows of parts as it starts to get reconstructed. The Zoom Phloom is starting to take shape with lots of sea life and the Sea Serpent is getting some paint and rehab! There is so much going on in fact that some areas of the pier look quite eerie and vacant of the bright vibrant rides that usually intrude on the views of the ocean.
The weather is a nice reprieve from the normal cold blowing wind that makes it so difficult for all of our dedicated staff who work outside all winter to get everything ready for spring. The warmth is nice, but for me personally it doesn't feel much like the holiday season. My memories of Christmas usually entail that biting air that seems so crisp to breathe in on a chilly winter morning, and the cool brisk sunsets over the ocean as we leave the piers to head home, but it's hard to get in the Christmas spirit when the weather just won't cooperate! So there! I wish it was colder, but that's just my personal opinion.
Although it's not cold it's still that time of year and If you're looking for that great gift now's the best time to stock up on ticket cards, season passes and more! But the sale doesn't last all winter. Before you know it, Spring will be in the air and everything will be getting painted, assembled and polished for yet another summer season of cotton candy, blinking lights and those familiar sounds of the ocean and children laughing. But for now, lets enjoy the weather. It's guaranteed to be winter soon. I'll cross my fingers that it just gets a little colder before Christmas.

Am I a Church?Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
Historic pinewoods and gardens surround me,
and I symbolise the relationship between God and earth;
much in the same way Dante represented heaven, earth and hell.
I am exceptionally dignified and illustrate a cosmogony of enormous importance for the evolution of one of the world's great civilisations.
I use the number nine repeatedly in the dimensions of my sacred altar, which symbolises heaven and also stresses the relationship of mankind with heaven.
What am I?
AnswerThe Temple of Heaven, Beijing, China.
The Temple of Heaven, founded in the first half of the 15th century, is a dignified complex of fine cult buildings set in gardens and surrounded by historic pine woods. In its overall layout and that of its individual buildings, it symbolises the relationship between earth and heaven - the human world and God's world - which stands at the heart of Chinese cosmogony, and also the special role played by the emperors within that relationship.

Digital marketing and analytics gurus can now get certified
Marc Gagne, Senior Director, Digital Marketing, Adobe APAC – LinkedIn
Last weeks' Digital Marketing Symposium in Beijing was simply amazing. More than 500 marketers attended the event and Adobe announced the launch of an exciting new digital certification program for digital analytics. I've been heavily involved in developing this program and as far as I know, it's the first of its kind to be designed and created in Asia Pacific, specifically to foster the next generation of APAC digital analysts.
The program itself has a rich backstory. The Adobe team is in a privileged position to travel regularly through the APAC region and no matter which country we visit, we always hear the same thing from our customers and partners; "can't find enough data driven, digital marketers." We developed the program in response to this demand as well as to create an industry-standard certification that can confirm proficiency in digital analytics. We designed it specifically for experienced digital analysts, digital marketers, and online decision-makers to help them make the transition from simply managing data, to using it to derive actionable insights which can be applied to make more informed business decisions.
After putting the final touches on the program, we piloted it with help from one of our major Australian customers, Suncorp Bank. The feedback from the Suncorp team following the five-day, interactive course, was very positive and they felt much more confident about working with data, evaluating and measuring results, and applying the learnings to their strategy.
Garth Stubbin, Suncorp's Advisor, Digital Measurement and Optimisation, said "We undertook this training to raise our capabilities in our quest to become a data-driven organization. We found the course gave us the opportunity to develop vital skills sometimes overlooked by specialists in this field. The training gave us the confidence to uncover opportunities and present insights to stakeholders across our organization."
Like the Suncorp team, attendees of the digital certification program will receive training on:
- Aligning insights to business objectives
- Planning and reporting on online campaigns
- Understanding high volumes of data
- Setting clear goals and assigning digital KPIs

FOR months, they have followed strict training regimes in preparation for a gruelling test of physical and mental strength and endurance.
But the big day is almost here for hundreds of triathletes who will descend on Bolton this Sunday for Ironman UK, including mother-of-one Laura Anderton.
The 26-year-old is currently juggling motherhood, her job as a solicitor and training up to 12 hours a week ahead of the Pennington Flash 2.4-mile open water swim, 112-mile bike ride and marathon-distance run.
Every week, Miss Anderton, company solicitor at Travel Counsellors, Churchgate, goes for two pre-work 6.30am swims at Bolton One, to a lunchtime spinning class at V1ntage Health and Wellness Studio, Knowsley Street, between three and five times, one run of up to two hours, a long cycle ride every other week, as well as interval training.
She has been able to dedicate time to training thanks to help from her family, caring for her three-year-old daughter.
From running as a youngster to regularly participating in 5km and 10km events, she completed her first Horwich triathlon in May, in under three hours.
She is raising money for Reuben's Retreat, formed by Tameside couple Mike and Nicola Graham whose 23-month-old son Reuben died of a rare and aggressive cancer in 2012. They aim to raise £1 million to build a retreat for children battling the disease.
Miss Anderton said: "I have always enjoyed running but I was very much a novice in the pool and on the bike.
"I have had to train with an intensity far greater than that I have experienced previously to get myself race-fit in all three disciplines, but I was delighted to finish Horwich and the race spurred me on to test myself further.
"Ironman is a challenge in every sense but, having been inspired myself by friends in Australia who have completed Ironman competitions, I was determined to take it on.
"I am mentally tough and physically fitter than I have ever been — I can't wait to pit myself against the cream of the crop and, above all else, to raise money for a fabulous cause." Miss Anderton, who lives in Warrington, will take part in the challenge with co-owner of V1ntage, Gareth Price, from Walkden, as well as members Zoe Nightingale and Ian Morgan.
Competitors can expect to burn up to 20,000 calories during the course and feed stations will be set up to hand out items including sports drinks, energy bars, bananas, savoury snacks and water.
They have a strict time limit of 17 hours to complete the long-distance triathlon and Bolton town centre will see hundreds of supporters cheering them on throughout Sunday.
Rhode Island Coffee, Knowsley Street, will be backing Miss Anderton and the Reuben's Retreat team on the day, with extended opening hours to provide a base for supporters and team members.

Topic: Hospice coming to our home
Hi everyone,
As many of you know Mom is in the hospital with quite a few things going on. The drs discussed with her that they think that hosice coming to our home would be a good idea. The social worker from hospice and another nurse have come in to talk to us today. When her dr mentioned hospice to us a month or so ago I wasn't crazy about the idea because when I hear the word hospice it made me think that death was coming soon. Talking to the hospice people has helped me realize that hospice is there to help your quality of life and they have many people "graduate" from hospice and not need their services anymore. I can see that we need the extra help coming in. I am certainly not a nurse, and don't know all of the symptoms to watch for. I will be thankful to have someone come in to help us keep her comfortable. I am going into this knowing that we need that help and hoping that mom will also "graduate" from hospice in a while and be back on her feet and well again.

Halley and HardyTrivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
"I'm sorry, Corman, I have other plans tomorrow." Nora Shekrie had no trouble sounding sorry: Her initial meeting and four dates with Professor diNoni had been highly enjoyable.
"Ah; someone up to your intellectual standards, I hope?" He sounded genuinely interested, not jealous.
"What makes you think it's a 'someone'?" she protested.
"If it was a 'something', you'd explain. 'Other plans' is Anglo-Saxon for 'another date'." His voice was smiling; Nora felt awful. Had she known only an hour earlier that Corman was coming ... Her niece, Sharon, had recommended Hardy Chance to her for insurance. Nora came away with personalized quotes for home, life, and auto insurance, as well as a dinner invitation. At the time, she'd had nothing better to do, and Hardy seemed interesting enough to invest a few hours.
"I throw myself on the mercy of the court. If you'd only called this afternoon! Will you be in town for long?" Corman's current research brought him to the city once in a while, more often since meeting Nora.
"Three days, but the good Doctors already have me for Saturday night." Much of the inspiration in mathematical theory came from the three of them trading less serious ideas at the Leland home. Corman had taken Nora once; she understood perhaps a quarter of the conversation.
Nora was silent for several seconds, balancing her self-respect with her desire to see him. One simply did not cancel plans for "a better offer."
Corman bulled ahead. "Let's see; he's tall, dark blond, ruggedly handsome, and used to play tennis. He has a master's degree, but made his career in another field. He's interested in classical music and presidential trivia." Speculating on "the competition" was decidedly indelicate, but Nora was appreciative of Corman's judiciously-applied iconoclasm; her giggle was all the reward he needed.
"Nope. He's stocky, couldn't make the track team even as the only discus thrower, and I don't know how much education he has. He's my niece's insurance agent, and I'm not sure he knows who's president now, let alone 'the last President of the *United* States."
Corman heard the challenge, and thought for a minute. "Van Buren?" he ventured.
"Give the man a kewpie doll!"
"Whew! I was guessing."
"From proper historical principles, in context. When South Carolina seceded, he was afraid for the country. Speaking of insurance, that may be almost all Hardy knows, but he seems to be good company so far."
"Do tell?" Corman sounded like the friend he was, rather than a disappointed suitor ... which he also was.
"Oh, he first caught my interest with his collection of reproduction documents. He's has a copy of Banker's first sales contract. You know -- the guy who invented the real estate agency after the San Francisco earthquake."
"As in Coldwell-Banker?"
"You're 2-for-2 today."
"2-for-3, actually." She wasn't counting the missed date. She pressed on.
"He also has reproductions of the Magna Carta, including the signatures of King John and all 20-odd surety barons, and the four supposed versions of the Gettysburg address; he rotates them weekly. His favorite is the one faked-up on an envelope."
"Is that legend true?"
"At least partly; that's why he likes it. His pride and joy, though, is a copy of Edmund Halley's life insurance policy."
"Really? I'm not familiar with that." Corman sounded genuinely interested.
"He went on about it at some length, the history of insurance, and the historical importance of it all."
Corman's voice was a warm chuckle. "Which, of course, is your avocation."
"He said it's the first whole-life policy ever written."
"Ah, yes! Halley, the astronomer with the comet! He compiled the first set of actuarial tables, which allowed the industry to develop. So he got the first policy?"
"So the man says. No policy number, but with the signature of Sir George Lloyd himself."
"George Lloyd, founder of Lloyd's of London."
"My lady, I do not mean to interfere in your personal affairs ..." he sounded hesitant, somewhat worried.
"I expect you to continue being *part* of my personal affairs, if that's what you're worried about. What is it?"
"I'm not sure you want to have dinner with him -- or perhaps you'd better."
It took Nora nearly five minutes to coax out what Corman knew, but she spent even less time in raising the matter with Hardy Chance. When he was done fumbling, she was relieved that he was the one who offered to rescind their date.
What did Corman know that restored his record to 3-for-3?
HintLook up the founding of Lloyd's.
AnswerCorman knew two things that Hardy, in his eagerness to impress his clients and then Nora, had never bothered to check.
First of all, Lloyd's drew its name from the meeting place, the coffee house of Edward Lloyd (not George Lloyd). Even more important, though, is that Lloyd's of London has never issued whole-life policies. Under certain circumstances, they underwrite a short-term life policy, but do not deal in the type that would require Halley's tables.
You get extra credit if you caught the item that all three of them missed: King John didn't sign the Magna Carta. Signatures did not approve legal documents then. Appropriate to the times, he affixed the royal seal to give it his official approval.

To institutionalists, the important "institutions" of economic life include customs, habits, morals, and laws. These are believed to be more important in shaping economic life than are marketplace principles. Institutionalists emphasize a historical interpretation of social life, asserting that economic generalizations should be relevant to time and place. Institutionalist ideas greatly influenced economic policies that were created in response to the Great Depression.

"a terrible book"
The script is terrible, and made worse by the goofy narration. Every time Veblen is quoted the narrator assumes a bad Norwegian accent.
This book is about Peterson's dislike of Veblen; it is not about Veblen's ideas. It is not a critical analysis, but a character assassination.

text: Chef's challenge at Manna Meal By Autumn D. F. Hopkins May 28, 2013 Story Share Chris Dorst Tony Henderson covers some freshly cooked corn on the cob in the kitchen of Manna Meal, where he is now the lead cook. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- At age 50, Charleston chef Tony Henderson has been cooking professionally for more than two-thirds of his life. He entered his first kitchen at age 15, bussing tables in a restaurant where his stepfather worked as a waiter."This was the late '70s. I'd go into the kitchen, and I'd see these guys with their earrings and fire, knives and cold beer. All the girls really liked those guys. I wanted to be one of those guys," said Henderson, talking about the chefs in the Southern California restaurant."So I asked the chef. 'How do I get to do that,' and he told me to show up the next morning. My first day as a professional cook I peeled 500 pounds of potatoes, 500 pounds of carrots and 500 pounds of onions."Born in West Virginia, Henderson was 2 when his family moved to California. After a divorce, he decided to make the move back to West Virginia for a fresh start. His first cooking job back was at the Red Lobster in Parkersburg."I was a prep cook. I stood breading shrimp for nine hours a day."Then he got a big break."I landed a job as executive sous chef at the Blennerhassett Hotel. It was a great place to work. I loved that building and the history."But Henderson did not stay there or anywhere else for very long. He said the turnover rate in professional kitchens is high and the demand for talent is intense."There is always a job somewhere with better pay, better hours, better benefits."After working several years as a cook at The Charleston Marriott Town Center, taking on the responsibility of purchasing the hotel's food, he began to yearn for the excitement and creative outlet of the kitchen,"I'm a cook. I love to cook. Not only is it how I made my living for most of my life, but I can't sing, I can't dance, paint, draw or take pictures. I can't do anything like that. Cooking is my creative outlet. That's my art."He decided it was time to move into the private sector and start cooking on the more local, less corporate scene. He was with Robert Wong at the Bridge Road Bistro for a while, and then went to work for Bill Sohovich at the Blossom Dairy, and later at his other ventures at Billy's and Soho's."Both men [Wong and Sohovich] did a lot for the culinary scene in West Virginia and specifically in Charleston," he said. "They inspired so many different cooks. Their deaths had a huge impact on this town."Henderson's next stop on his culinary journey was the Quarrier Diner. "I have lived in the heart of downtown ever since I moved back to West Virginia," he said. "I used to walk past the building that housed the Quarrier Diner for years. It was a gorgeous space. I always wondered why no one had done anything with that space."Then one day he noticed construction crews had begun remodeling the Diner. He approached the men and learned that the Pollitt family planned to reopen the diner and downstairs bar.Henderson left a resume and was quickly hired with the understanding that he would operate as executive chef and as a kind of mentor to a family who had no previous restaurant experience.Unfortunately, the Quarrier Diner never quite found its footing in Charleston and the pressure began to mount. Trying to run a kitchen, oversee costs and manage a restaurant left Henderson burnt out. "It led to a point where I had had enough, I hit a wall. It was an absolute low." Henderson walked away from his job with no safety net and no backup plan."I applied for everything within a 10-mile radius. Sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring wasn't helping. Then a friend suggested that maybe doing some volunteer work while I was waiting would help take my mind off the applications." Henderson had known Manna Meal executive director Jean Simpson for years."I used to jokingly say to Jean 'When are you going to hire me?' and she would say, 'When we can afford you!'"He volunteered for a few weeks, then Simpson offered him a job as lead cook for the soup kitchen. He is now in charge of all things food: receiving donations, prepping food, serving food and storing food.Henderson says working in a nonprofit has taken some adjustment."I still have to quiet my inner chef quite a bit. We rely heavily on a volunteer workforce. You can't yell at volunteers. People say 'Oh, do you watch Gordon Ramsey?' I tell them no, I lived like that for too many years. I worked for people like that. I was a person like that. I don't need to watch it." This is a different kinder, gentler world for Henderson."I am very happy here. It took some getting used to, but I see myself staying here as long as they will have me."He said, "The people of Charleston are incredibly generous. Donations come in all shapes and sizes, from a single box of cookies left over from a party to a 400-pound donation from a local grocery store." Henderson compares the challenge of not knowing what is coming in to participating in a daily episode of "Chopped.""You open the basket and that is when you know what you'll have to work with." Henderson said his advantage is his experience. "I can take a variety of items and with just a little finesse and skill make them into things you wouldn't normally find in a traditional soup kitchen."Henderson speaks highly of the Manna program and staff. "The great thing about Manna Meal is that no questions are asked. Anybody can come to Manna Meal. Our primary purpose is to feed hungry people. That is what we do. Your social standing, the status of your bank account, that doesn't come into play. If you are hungry, we will feed you.""They say it started with one peanut butter and jelly sandwich feeding one person. Now we feed hundreds of people."Henderson has found a peace and joy giving back."In my career I have made better money, but there are things that come with this job that are more important than money."Anyone who would like to volunteer at Manna Meal, should contact Camellia Snover at 304-345-7121.Reach Autumn D.F. Hopkins at email@example.com or (304)348-1249.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.

Camel DriversMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
Achmed and Ali were camel-drivers and on one day they decided to quit their job. They wanted to become shepherds. So they went to the market and sold all their camels. The amount of money (dinars) they received for each camel was the same as the total number of camels they owned. With that money they bought as many sheep as possible at 10 dinars a sheep. With the money that was left they bought a goat.
On their way home they got in a fight and decided to split up. When they divided the sheep there was one sheep left. So Ali said to Achmed, "I take the last sheep and you can get the goat". "That's not fair," said Achmed, "a goat costs less than a sheep". "OK," Ali said, "then I will give you one of my dogs and then we are even". And Achmed agreed.
What's the cost of a dog?
Answer1 sheep - 1 dog = 1 goat + 1 dog
1 sheep - 1 goat = 2 dogs
A sheep is 10 dinars, but what does a goat cost?
The money they received for their camels is a square. And the digit in the tens-place of this square is odd (total money / 10 dinars), because they could not divide the sheep equally.
Now the interesting thing is that all squares with an odd tens-place end with a 6. (16^2 = 256, 24^2 = 576). So a goat must cost 6 dinars.
10 - 6 = 2 dogs
So a dog costs 2 dinars.

New Orleans Hornets guard Austin Rivers suffered a broken right hand in Wednesday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, according to multiple reports, likely ending his disappointing rookie season.
Rivers, the team's second first-round draft pick (10th overall) in this spring's draft, had shown small signs of improvement in recent weeks, but if he is sidelined six weeks, as reported, then that would keep him out through the rest of the season.
The Hornets fell to 21-41 with Wednesday's loss, but Rivers had 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting without a turnover in 15 minutes, arguably his best half of the season, before going out.
Rivers sustained the injury when he bumped into teammate Greivis Vasquez. SI.com reported that he broke the fourth metacarpal in his right hand.
With the Hornets sputtering down the stretch, it's unclear whether they would rush Rivers back into the lineup.
He is averaging 6.1 points and 2.1 assists in 23.2 minutes per game.
