No. 544,974 Claims priority, application France, Nov. 21, 1964, 995,882 1 Claim. (Cl. 33-137) This application is a continuation-impart of my previous application Ser. No. 441,534, now abandoned, filed Mar. 22, 1965.
This invention relates to an improved assembly for fastening a hook at the free end of a measuring tape.
The assembly of the present invention is intended for flexible tape measures designed for measuring both internal and external dimensions. The hook in such constructions is required to slide longitudinally in relation to the tape to an extent corresponding to its thickness. In this manner compensation is made for the thickness of the hook so that either its outer or its inner face may be brought flush with the extremity of the tape according to whether the measurement is to be taken by abutment or by engaging the edge of the surface to be measured.
The object of the present invention is to improve and simplify the construction of flexible measuring tapes having an adjustable hook for the purpose above indicated.
To this effect, the invention provides a linear measuring device having a flexible tape With a notch, and a longitudinal opening spaced therefrom; a hook element consisting of a plate member and a turned down edge member substantially at right angles thereto having a thickness substantially equal to the depth of the notch, the plate having lugs of a somewhat greater height than the tape thickness and surrounded by a boss whose length is less than the length of the longitudinal opening, the difference in these lengths being substantially equal to the thickness of the edge member; the width of said boss being slightly less than the width of said opening so as to permit the boss to fit therein and act as a tape guide and a retainer member larger than the opening fitting thereover and the tape, which member is riveted to the boss so as to permit a sliding arrangement with the plate 4 surface on which is disposed the boss. In a variant of the invention, the plate member is provided with 2 lugs each having an independent boss, the distance separating the outer edges of each boss from those of the other being less than the length of the tape opening in which they fit by an amount equal to the thickness of the edge member.
Other features of the present invention Will be more particularly pointed out in the specification and in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 are a plan view, an elevation, and an elevation and a front view, respectively, of the device according to the invention,
FIG. 4- is a perspective view of the hook member of the invention,
FIG. 5 a plan view showing the tape to which the hook is secured according to the invention,
FIG. 6 a variant of FIG. 4 showing the embodiment of the invention wherein the hook member has lugs provided with independent bosses.
In the drawing, numerals 1 and 2, respectively, designate a flexible metallic measuring tape and a sliding hook fastened to said tape. That hook is constituted by a plate 3, suitably of metal, the extremity of which, preferably broader (FIG. 3), is folded at a right angle in order to form an edge 4. 0n said plate are formed two lugs 5 (FIG. 4) manufactured in one piece with the hook, by moulding or injection, and also a longitudinal boss encircling these lugs.
The tape is provided with an elongated opening 6 (FIG. 5), sufiiciently wider than the boss so as to permit the boss to fit therein; the length of opening 6 being equal to the sum of the length of boss 5a and of the thickness of edge 4. At the extremity of said tape is provided a notch 7 of a depth substantially equal to the thickness of edge 4 and of a width slightly greater than that of plate 3 of hook 2. On lugs 5 of the hook is mounted metal or plastic element 8 larger than and introduced over, opening 6 and to which the lug heads are riveted in conventional fashion such as by upsetting as shown by their rounded heads in FIG. 2.
Boss 5a has two advantages. On the one hand, it facilitates the riveting of lugs 5 to element 8 by preventing too high a pressure to be applied to the tape (which would prevent the book from sliding) and, on the other hand, it prevents lugs 5 from being urged by the extremities of the tape opening, which, in the long-run, might impair the resistance thereof. The boss may be thicker than the tape or of a dimension such as to act as a spacer to allow the retainer member 8 to function as a slide arrangement jointly with the surface on which the boss is disposed.
In the drawn position, the hook occupies the location indicated in full line in FIG. 1. The inner face of edge 4 is aligned with the outer cross ridge of the tape, where the graduation originates. The outer measurements can thus be taken by hooking edge 4 to a ridge of an unevenness forming the origin of a surface to be measured. As shown in dotted line, the hook can be retracted in order that the outer face of edge 4 be aligned with said ridge ofthe tape. Inner measurements can be taken by pressing the outer face of the hook against a surface forming the origin of a distance to be measured.
In FIG. 6, the hook as shown is provided with lugs, each of which is encircled by an independent boss 5b. This form of embodiment has the same advantages as the previous one, but, in addition, it is lighter and less expensive. Here again the distance from the end of one boss to the other is less than the length of opening 6 by an amount equal to the thickness of member 4.
Of course, changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The longitudinal opening 6 can be replaced by two shorter openings, equal in length to that of opening 6, and the hook can be of a slightly different shape.
The claimed assembly can be very simply and economically mounted, since it comprises only one piece, riveted to the tape, to which an additional friction element can be added. Moreover, it offers the advantage of allowing to use hooks that are shorter than in the forms of embodiment known to this day, since the lugs can be fairly near each other, without impairing the accuracy of guiding of the hook.
The provision of boss or bosses disclosed herein is very important in that when riveting is effected no pressure is put on the tape, and the impact of the operation is borne instead by the boss. Again the boss by permitting a substantial lengthwise contact between it and the tape eliminates lateral tensions which can cause ripping of the tape. As a result, it has been noted that much fewer rejects occur during assembly than was formerly the case with other sliding hook assemblies.
What is claimed is:
1; In a linear measuring instrument:
(A) a hook having a plate with an upstanding part of a given thickness, said part having an inner and an outer face,
(B) a tape of a given thickness having: an end, meassaid graduations originate and a retracted position uring graduations originating at said end, a notch wherein said part is received in said notch of said at said end for receiving said upstanding part of tape. said hook, and an elongated opening of a given References Cited length spaced from said notch, 5

Guardiola: "Cruyff is the most influential figure in the history of football"
The main trainer of football club "Manchester city", which is one of the most successful coaches of our time, said that Johan Cruyff, who died in March from lung cancer, was the best around.
"I wouldn't be able to do what was possible Kaifu. You can often hear from different people: "Oh, what a PEP is a good coach." Forget. Cruyff was the best. By a wide margin. To create something new is difficult.
That's why I often visited Johan when he coached Barcelona. I tried to follow his path in the first year, when we won everything.
Cruyff is the most influential figure in the history of football. He cheated on not one, but two: and as a player and as a coach. Another such person is not found. When Ajax won the European Cup, the team was coached by Rinus Michels, but the main thing was Cruyff.
When he led Barcelona, it was a great club, but had no special football culture. We had an Argentinean coach, and we played in the Argentine style, then we headed German, and we started to play in German. But then came Johan and said, "We play. Seven children played in training in the same style as the main team. He created something from nothing," Guardiola was quoted by The Guardian.
Guardiola as a player made his debut in the "Barcelona" in 1990, when the team was led by Cruyff. When Kreipe Barcelona first won the European Cup (now Champions League) and won four consecutive Spanish League, which remains a club record, reports Eurosport.

'NickToons' To Star 90's Nickelodeon Characters
The 90's are back as our childhood favorites reunite in an epic Nickelodeon movie this year. 'NickToons' will surely bring out the child in us.
Hey there, 90's kids. Your childhood favorites are back and they're up to join a reunion feature! Who can forget the Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, and Doug? But even if you did, they're set to make you remember through a film. These favorite Nickelodeon characters from the 90's and early 2000's will reunite in a film called "NickToons."
Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures chose Jared Hess and his wife Jarusha Hess to collaborate and spearhead the "NickToons" flick. The director, known for his movies "Nacho Libre" and "Napoleon Dynamite," will write the screenplay with well-known producer Mary Parent.
According to Vulture, "NickToons" was inspired by the film "Who Framed Roger Rabit?", which is a cartoon-star-studded movie. Though there are no official confirmation on which characters are included in the film, we can always hope that those from the beloved "Rugrats," "Rocko's Modern Life," "Aaahh! Real Monsters!," "The Wild Thornberrys," "Ren & Stimpy," "CatDog," "Rocket Power" and "The Angry Beavers" get chosen out of the treasure chest.
According to a report made by Deadline, this idea came from Ali Mendes, Mary Parent's staff at Disruption Entertainment. Mendes shares this dream of putting these characters back to life for all the other 90's kids out there. These children, who by now are in their 20's, may already have their own families. And the thought of watching with your own children a film with the characters you once loved is more than epic.
Last year, Nickelodeon also confirmed that they will be reviving "Hey Arnold!" and will base an entire film from it. Consequence of Sound shared that this revival is a part of Nickelodeon's "wringing new value" out of their old and pioneer brainchild. That being said, "NickToons" will be a huge hit.
Well, there's still so much details to wait for, like which real-life actors are joining. But it's never early to rejoice and get excited. We know you are!

Concerns over rising pre-election violence
Concerns over rising pre-election violence
POLITICAL parties and activists on Wednesday, expressed concerns at the rising level of political violence across the country.
In Ekiti and Ondo States clashes among the supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, the Action Congress of Nigeria and Labour Party left two dead and eight others seriously injured.
While the violence raged in the two states, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Godswill Akpabio, told journalists that more than 800 brand new cars and 500 tricycles were destroyed during clashes between PDP and ACN supporters in Uyo on Tuesday.
But in Abuja, President Goodluck Jonathan ordered security agencies to bring the violence under control, even as the Director-General of the State Security Service, Mr. Ekpeyong Ita, accused politicians of introducing "a dangerous dimension" to electioneering.
In Akure, the PDP and LP traded blame on the cause of the clashes that led to the infliction of injuries on seven people at Obanla and Iro streets in the Ondo State capital.The Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Yemi Adedipe, who first spoke with one of our correspondents, alleged that the Iro incident was caused by the supporters of the LP.
He claimed that the PDP members had gathered to campaign for the House of Representatives candidate for Akure South/North Federal Constituency, Chief Adedayo Omolafe, when some armed thugs stormed the venue and insisted that the rally should not hold. A witness said that five people were injured in the fracas that ensued.
An eyewitness of the Obanla clash, Dr Dare Bada, said that some thugs arrived in the area and shot sporadically into the air to disperse LP members who were holding a rally. He claimed that two members of the LP were shot as a result.
The LP Publicity Secretary in the state, Mr Femi Okunjemiruwa, said PDP members were always the aggressors.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Aremu Adeniran, said the police moved into the two streets and brought the clashes under control. The policeman added that one person was arrested in connection with the violent clashes.
In Ekiti two policemen allegedly shot two persons dead in Kota, Ekiti East Local Government Area.
A former Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mr. Femi Bamisile, was reported to have escaped when bullets were fired at his sport utility vehicle marked BAFEM.Bamisile's driver, Mr. Femi Bankole, whose hand was hit by one of the bullets, is said to be receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital.
However, the cause of the incident was sketchy. While the PDP claimed that a chieftain of the ACN in the town ordered the policemen to open fire on some PDP supporters, the ACN blamed it on the former speaker, whom it accused of terrorising its members with thugs.
The corpse of one of the victims was brought to the Governor's office by Bamisile's supporters and the Chairman of the PDP in the state, Chief Bola Olu-Ojo. It was later carried away in a hearse to a mortuary.
The Chairman of the ACN, Chief Jide Awe, in a statement, called for the arrest of the former speaker.
He said, "The PDP thugs led by the impeached speaker attacked many members of the ACN in their homes and at business premises.
"We are calling on the police to arrest Bamisile to state what he knows about this unprovoked attack on our members."
However, Olu-Ojo, in company with other PDP leaders, denied the allegation.
He told journalists, "What happened in Kota today (Wednesday) is unfortunate. Our members were attacked and three persons were allegedly killed.
"Those who attacked our people were in police uniform and in police van. We are calling on the Inspector- General of Police to call them to order."
When contacted, Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Mohammed Jimoh, said, "We have deployed more men there to maintain law and order."
As the two parties traded blame over the incidents, the Kwara Police Command declared 148 people wanted for their alleged involvement in political violence.
The command's Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ezekiel Dabo, gave the details in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Ilorin on Wednesday.
More than 100 people, according to a non-governmental Organisation, International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law, have been killed in politically- related violence in the past one year in the country.
The CPC spokesperson, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, who spoke with THE PUNCH, however blamed the security lapses in the country on the do-or-die posture of the PDP.
He said, "The spate of violence is worrisome, but I must say that it is the ruling party that has instituted the violence in our political system. People are yearning for change and the PDP knows they cannot curtail this demand. That is why the ruling party is very desperate to hold on to power, which explains the spate of violence we are seeing all over the country."
The PDP, in a statement by its National Chairman, Dr. Bello Mohammed, specifically mentioned the Tuesday fracas in Uyo, saying it was a "calculated mission" to destroy anything with a PDP logo or the insignia of Governor Akpabio. He alleged that perpetrators of the mayhem were apparently bent on eroding the present visible gains of good governance in the state.
A human rights lawyer, Mr. Fred Agbaje, reminded the government that it was its duty to protect the lives of its citizens.
He said, "When you talk of democracy in any part of the world, it means the rights of the citizenry must be respected by the government. When government misses this social contract by failing to protect the lives and property of the people, such a government is on its way to the end."
Another human rights lawyer, Mr. Bamidele Aturu, said the violence in the country was compounded by the fact that majority of Nigerians depended on state resources for survival.
Aturu added that because survival depended on state resources, the aspiration to occupy public offices in order to benefit from the system, fuelled violence.

ECONorthwest applies benefit-cost analysis to help decision makers compare different project and policy options.
Ecosystem services—the goods and services supplied by the natural environment—are too often overlooked in traditional economic analysis. ECONorthwest excels at helping communities and organizations properly account for the social and economic benefits provided by ecosystem services.
When we analyze the ecosystem services that may be affected by a particular action or policy, we take an expansive perspective, recognizing the values from those services that provide direct benefits to society, as well as those that provide indirect and non-use benefits. Our evaluation techniques are sensitive to the dynamic relationships between management decisions and ecosystems and support assessments of risk and uncertainty under different scenarios and time horizons. Our approach provides decision-makers with robust, ecologically, and economically relevant data.
Over the years, we have worked with many communities and organizations to apply the economics of ecosystem services to real-life management decisions. Communities are often faced with making choices among different policy options, or allocating limited funding to some projects and not others. In making these decisions, communities must choose among a great number of competing demands:
Ultimately, making an informed decision will involve weighing benefits and costs. In this process, understanding how decisions may affect the value of ecosystem services and their contribution to the economy is key.
ECONorthwest's extensive experience and our rigorous approach to this topic provide invaluable support for decision-makers. The EPA's Science Advisory Board has applauded ECONorthwest's past efforts to account for the value of ecosystem services in complex environmental-policy decisions:
"…the project provides one of the best examples of the kind of landscape-scale analysis of the value of ecosystems and services recommended by this report."1

Within a week of birth, babies and mothers begin a kind of musical storytelling. When mom or dad sing and chant rhymes to their infant, loving exchanges take place. Baby gets that precious sense of well-being.
"Babies are born with a musical readiness that includes a basic sense of timing and rhythm, " declares Dr. Colwyn Trevarthen, a psycho-biologist. (University of Edinburgh). "Our brains possess a storytelling sense from the beginning. Infants intentionally prompt musical exchanges with adults. Infants know when they're being invited by a grown up to interact," Trevarthen says. "Within weeks of birth, mom and baby compose brief musical vignettes that turn up a budding relationship."
When our children were infants, we began our own musical storytelling with songs and poems. Dad's favorite was to chant The Grand Old Duke of York while gently bouncing a baby on his knee. And when the baby was older, he'd swoop him up "to the top of the hill." I loved clapping and tapping to the beat of nursery rhymes at playtime, bedtime, and even in the car. Enjoy the beat! The rewards are fantastic.

I have some apps developed using Xcode4. When opening the projects and build them for the 5 simulator using Xcode5, most of the apps will look iOS7 style when built for 5 simulator while some still looks iOS6 no matter what I do The apps are pretty much the same so I do not understand how to decide myself which style it is going to be. Looking at the settings I do not see any difference. The app which is built as a iOS6 like style seems not possible to change to iOS7 style, and some apps are built as iOS7 style as default and is not possible to change to iOS6 style using Xcode5. Please help!
Depends, most of the standard UI elements are redesigned in iOS7 (UIAlertView for instance), you can't do a lot, if you want to keep the ioS6 look you should rebuild all these components by yourself.
Elements that adhere to the appearance proxy can be customized to look like pre-iOS7, but it will be a hard job.
In iOS7 you also have another "problem" to manage, by default all views are full-screen, this is simply to solve if you deploy only on iOS7, bit harder if you deploy for prior iOS7 and iOS7.
There i a way around... download the 4.6 version of xcode ance deploy only on iOS6, most of the UI elements will maintain the same aspect, it seems that Apple still accept <=iOS6 binaries.

Find info concerning Jefferson Community College LPN degree, and registering for elective seminars. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Seek out accredited nursing programs for the best training. Given a brief hospital internship or prior work experience, you can expect a great return on your medical education. Concentrating on Jefferson Community College LPN degree, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the CNA department for course registration deadlines, and licensed practical nurse program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Jefferson Community College.
The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) designation is the first step in becoming a nurse. After Becoming a CNA, you will assist in caring for patients by monitoring vital statistics, bathing, feeding and maintaining personal hygiene. Most CNA and nurse's aide programs can be completed within a few months, allowing you to begin working. As the public ages, nursing care has become a major source of employment for technical program graduates.
The next step in a nursing career is to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN). This is a one year long program, in which you'll work under an RN, and be assigned advanced care work. Practice requirements for nurses aides and LPNs vary from state to state, but basic duties include passing meds, wound care, and administering feeding tubes. One year nursing certificate programs train students to pass the licensing test, in order to become an LPN or LVN, and it is common for 90% or more of the graduating class to find nursing jobs within 6 months. You don't have to become a registered nurse to make good money, as a licensed practical nurse with several years of work experience can earn well over $43,500 a year. Beyond major requirements within the CNA department, you may consider Blackfeet Community College optometry courses online as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

I am absolutely in love with Asheville, North Carolina! I recently planned a mother-daughter trip here for me and my mom and I couldn't have enjoyed our time in Asheville more! Here are 5 reasons to visit Asheville, North Carolina right now:
1. Fall Foliage
Asheville, North Carolina is giving the Northeast a run for it's money when it comes to fall foliage! And warm temperatures that lasted into late September mean a delayed changing of the leaves, so you can easily plan a fall foliage trip for this November. You can track the best places to enjoy the brightest fall color right here and plan your activities accordingly. I suggest taking a scenic drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway or planning a beautiful hike. Have your cameras ready, your Instagram will thank you 🙂
2. Food & Drink
There is no shortage of incredible places to eat and drink in Asheville, NC. Pretty much everything is farm to table, so yes this is a true foodie lovers paradise! And the craft beer and craft cider scene is some of the most happening in the whole country, so you can easily plan a trip around food and drink alone. Next week I'll be covering my favorite places to eat and drink in Asheville, so stay tuned!
3. The River Arts District of Asheville
If you're an art lover, you must visit the River Arts District. I spent the afternoon just wandering the area stopping in studios that caught my eye. The River Arts District could easily be the most diverse and concentrated area of artists in the world where there is truly something for everyone. Another great option is to book a 2 hour walking tour with Asheville Arts Studio Tours. This tour, led by an artist, gives you an insider look into a variety of studios, some of which have multiple artists working out of them.
4. The Biltmore Estate and Antler Hill Village
You simply can't visit Asheville without spending the day at the Biltmore Estate! Visit America's largest home, built by George Vanderbilt, and explore the 8000-acre beautiful and grand estate in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, NC. There are many different tour options, so be sure to allow yourself plenty of time to take everything in. I suggest starting your day by taking a beautiful stroll through the Biltmore Gardens in the morning and then touring the Biltmore House. Afterwards head over to Antler Hill Village and enjoy your free wine tasting at Biltmore Winery. This is also a magical place to visit at Christmas time, so if you can't make it in time for fall color plan a trip around the holidays!
5. Downtown Asheville
I absolutely adore downtown Asheville and consider it someplace I would be quite happy to live! Downtown Asheville has so much personality from the boutique shops, delicious restaurants and friendly people. You can easily spend the day just wandering around seeing where the day takes you. When your feet need a break I suggest booking the Just Chillin package at Wake Foot Sanctuary. It is the perfect way to revive, relax and treat yourself.
I also made this travel video of my experience in Asheville so watch, enjoy and be sure to subscribe to my youtube channel:

Kingston Byers inc. is aware of the importance of accident prevention and the well-being of workers. We ensure that projects are carried out under the best possible conditions by complying with the set safety standards.
Our team closely monitors all safety-related activities to develop guidelines in order to continuously improve our prevention programs.
For each of its construction sites, Kingston Byers inc. creates a prevention program in which participation is mandatory and applies to all subcontractors and employees; all subcontractors are required to provide their respective prevention program. Our health and safety specialists work with the subcontractors and customers to maintain the physical integrity of workers and establish applicable preventive measures to eliminate any form of danger or threat to the physical health of workers at the source.
By using sound work methods, every project completed by our company flows smoothly thanks to team work and a clear communication of our objective, which is to carry out our construction projects as safely as possible.
Important rules of developing a safe project
• Reviewing project requirements;
• Requiring that all new workers be greeted;
• Identifying inherent risks in carrying out the project;
• Developing preventive measures;
• Communicating with the project team to ensure compliance with all steps;
• Meeting with the staff to review procedures, improve practices on the construction site or to discuss upcoming developments;
• Raising awareness about the costs of work-related accidents on construction sites, especially with the workforce; this approach helps reduce the number of accidents to achieve a frequency and severity rate that is lower than the industry standards;
• 0 tolerance: any breaches will result in disciplinary sanctions;
• Issuing accident and incident inquiry reports;
• Preparing various daily and monthly reports throughout the project.
In addition, certain practices unique to Kingston Byers inc. make us a responsible contractor/employer in the area of health and safety on all construction sites such as:
• Distributing individual protective equipment;
• Carefully inspecting work sites;
• Preparing inquiry and incident reports;
• Producing statistical reports on demand;
• Upgrading our staff's skills: courses offered to workers;
• Disseminating information: documentation, posters, etc.

Second Flush Margaret's Hope
"Okay." Elizabeth smiled encouragingly from her side of the table. "Have a sip."
Mozzie raised the teacup. "And this is?"
"It's a Darjeeling." She leaned an elbow on the table and cupped her cheek in her palm. "Actually, it's got quite the tragic story."
Mozzie lowered the teacup. "I try not to drink any beverage that comes with a dark past."
"You're safe: it was named after the planter's daughter." Elizabeth affected an insipid tone found in the more overwrought period dramas. "She went away, but she got sick on the journey home - she never saw her beloved tea gardens again."
Mozzie considered this for a moment and then asked brightly, "Do you have any lemon?"
"Of course!" Elizabeth disappeared quickly into the kitchen and Mozzie took the opportunity to look around him.
It was a nice house.
Of course he'd noticed that when he'd swept it for bugs, but everything had been spilling out of the cabinets and drawers and, while it had been an intriguing insight into the married life of Mr. and Mrs. Suit, it hadn't really given him a feel for the place.
Yes, it was warm – welcoming, even - if you liked that sort of thing. With the carpets and chairs and so on. A nice house. He just wasn't entirely clear why he was in it.
Dimly, he remembered Burke looking plaintive and Neal talking fast. As a rule, Mozzie tried not to listen when Neal did that, because listening to the words meant you missed what he wasn't telling you.
And Neal didn't tell you some doozies, sometimes.
In retrospect, Mozzie suspected he should have made an exception, because somewhere between trying to work out what Neal wasn't saying and Burke clapping him on the shoulder so hard he staggered, he'd wound up sitting at the dining room table while Elizabeth brought out her tea collection.
No, her tea mountain: it had at least two peaks and an East Face.
He tried to remember what the law's position on hoarding was.
Elizabeth bustled back in a flurry of artfully arranged lemon slices and tiny, tiny cakes. She put both at his elbow and then retook her seat. "Okay," she said again. "Just a sip if you want. It probably isn't cursed." She eyed the cup. "Probably."
Mozzie hovered a slice of lemon over the tea. "Are you sure you don't want to wait for Neal? I only ask because I've always been more of a connoisseur of coffee blends and red wines, occasionally brandy - not tea, would really be my point."
"The people attending the event aren't connoisseurs either," she said reassuringly and picked up a slice of lemon for herself. "I just need a second opinion and who knows when Peter and Neal will be back?"
Mozzie wouldn't call himself a Romantic (mostly because Neal would certainly choke to death if he did and that would be an ignoble way to go) but Neal most definitely was; Mozzie doubted that Burke would be allowed to forget the time, or the date.
So he tried his own smile of kind reassurance and said, "He'll be back soon. What's to do? A little legwork, check a few cameras, get your –"
Wait! No, see, this was why he left the face-to-face cons to Neal: Neal didn't get talkative around cursed tea.
He sought around for a distraction as Elizabeth's expression turned questioning. "Oh, look, it's the dog. Hey, dog! Pooch. Rover. Faithful hound."
Satchmo stared at him in silent judgment.
Elizabeth narrowed her eyes and Mozzie looked desperately down at his tea. "Yes, well. Lemon." He squeezed a little lemon into the brown liquid and then lifted the cup to his lips.
When he risked looking up, Elizabeth was staring intently with pen poised over pad, apparently entirely focused on his tea-drinking experience. He silently congratulated himself on smooth talking his way out of the near-slip.
Until he noticed that she wasn't blinking. Little unnerving.
He lowered the teacup. "Could you maybe..."
She stared at him for a second longer in bemusement and then sat straighter as enlightenment dawned. "Oh, I'm so sorry."
He raised the teacup.
Elizabeth stared into the corner; after a moment she began to hum quietly under her breath.
He lowered the teacup. "Is that Girl from Ipanema?"
"I thought it might be relaxing." She reached over and snagged a petit four.
While she was distracted, Mozzie sipped the tea. "Hmm, not bad."
Elizabeth's smile widened, vibrant and warm, and it reminded Mozzie strangely of Neal's: a sticky web made of companionable affection that you didn't want to escape.
Mozzie almost felt sorry for the suit, having two of those white-toothed traps to deal with, but then he discovered that he was smiling back.
Well that couldn't be good.
"I'm telling you, Peter – this is the way to go. Can you imagine Elizabeth wearing this?"
Peter glanced up from checking the last camera; Neal was staring with disconcerting adoration at a diamond necklace worth more than the building - maybe the entire block.
Peter allowed himself a couple of seconds to smile fondly at the mental picture of El glittering with diamonds, then he moved right along to wondering whether cuffing the man they'd introduced as a consultant would give a poor impression.
Yeah, but missing diamonds would probably give a worse one.
"Back up," he compromised. "Five feet between you and the shiny things at all times, and keep your hands in your pockets."
With an eye roll, Neal obediently took a step back and slipped his hands into his pockets as if had been his idea. "Seriously, though - buy her a diamond. Not one of these obviously, unless you always wanted to owe a couple of kidneys to some guy called Knuckles, but I saw some really quite lovely earrings that are well within your reach."
Peter decided he didn't want to know how Neal knew his reach and just shrugged unenthusiastically. "Eh, I don't know. Diamonds have never been El's thing."
Neal shook his head sadly. "Peter, she's just telling you that because she loves you - diamonds are every woman's thing."
"I think I know my wife a little better than you do," Peter said confidently. Mostly confidently. "She doesn't need flashy things, she's ... elegant."
"Fine, fine." Neal held up his hands. "But, please, at least rethink the waffle iron."
Peter looked meaningfully at the raised hands and waited until they were safely re-pocketed before he replied. "El said she wanted a new one. She wants it, I get it for her, everyone's happy."
"I can see it now, looking back in your twilight years and she's overcome with emotion as she remembers her WafflePro." Neal bumped Peter's shoulder with his own. "Hell of a memory box you're building there."
"I hate to say it," Hughes said from the doorway, "but he's right. Do not buy your wife any kind of kitchen appliance."
Neal looked sympathetic. "And there's the voice of experience. What was it?"
"Blender," Hughes replied gruffly and walked across the room to join them.
"Ouch," Neal winced. "What did it take to get out from under that?"
"I don't think that's pertinent to this operation, Caffrey," Hughes said blandly. "Go ahead and correct me if I'm wrong."
Neal fell silent with a slightly thwarted expression and Hughes turned to Peter. "Surveillance is in place, the transactions are being monitored and Jones is in the van – the camera feed is live. You're off the clock, go buy your wife some flowers."
Peter checked his watch; it was only six, El wouldn't be expecting him until eight at least and how long did it take to buy a waffle iron anyway? He swung towards the security station. "Yeah, I'm just going to-"
"The man said off the clock, Peter," Neal said and nudged him towards the door. "Gifts to buy for a beautiful and deeply understanding wife?"
Peter froze. "Gifts? When did we get to gifts, plural?"
"You have to make up for thinking about getting her a waffle iron," Neal pointed out, as if it were some kind of unbreakable law. Which was a little ironic.
Telling himself that the cameras probably didn't need triple checking, Peter let himself be herded towards the door with only one wistful glance back. "How about a weekend away?"
Neal smiled brightly. "That has potential. There's this great little hotel upstate and they always keep one room off the books. You want me to give them a call for you? They know me."
Peter grinned. "I'm sure they do."
Whatever Neal was going to say, it was lost in two loud bangs from the shop floor – as if the door had been kicked open and then shut in fairly rapid succession. Peter stopped and held up a hand to stop Neal going further.
Somewhere in the next room, a man yelled "On the floor, now."
Mozzie looked at the pile of tealeaves and then quizzically up at Elizabeth. "It looks like-"
"I know," she beamed. "Isn't it great? It even tastes a little smoky. This one's a green tea though, so it's huge for antioxidants."
As Elizabeth poured the hot – never boiling – water over the strainer and re-filled his teacup, Mozzie pursed his lips. "Apart from not being cursed, one of the first things I usually look for in a drink is no smoke. Or almond flavoring - artificial flavoring in general, actually. Oh, and no bones."
Elizabeth blinked. "Bones?"
He nodded grave confirmation. "No bones."
Elizabeth thrust a plate towards him. "Cookie?"
Mozzie took one and nibbled carefully around the crumbling edge.
"So," Elizabeth said tentatively, after an oddly pregnant pause. "Where did you say they'd gone? The jewelers and then Peter was going to pick up ... what was it?"
She was pretty good, but she'd timed her question badly – Mozzie had his mouth full and that legitimately gave him time to come up with an answer. Rookie mistake.
He chewed slowly until he was forced to swallow cookie paste, which in turn made him cough a little and he gratefully seized the chance to have a sip of the tea.
Hot, hot tea. Really hot tea.
"Are you all right?" Elizabeth offered him a glass of water, and then a paper towel as he spluttered.
"Fine," he gasped. "Fine. Good tea. Explosive. What's next?"
Crouched low, Peter risked a look through to the main store. The manager and the sales girl were both face down next to the counter with their hands behind their heads, but neither woman appeared to be about to panic and neither was looking his way.
So that was something.
From what he could see, the robbers were concentrating their efforts on the safe rather than coming to investigate the lock boxes in the back, which bought some time.
He drew back carefully and then stood before he glanced at Neal, who was straightening his cuffs. His cuffs.
Presumably, Peter guessed, because it was important to look your best in these situations. God forbid the shooting start before Neal's tie had been smoothed as well.
Neal glanced over and then widened his eyes just enough to suggest a what? As if he didn't know.
Peter gave him an admonishing look.
"You know, a lot of people don't get caught in the middle of a robbery on Valentine's Day," Neal whispered, apparently unfazed. "And this is, what? Twice for you now, three times?"
"Twice," Hughes murmured in a flat tone, which nonetheless managed to suggest that they might want to stop screwing around and, perhaps, stop a robbery in progress. Just a thought?
Even Neal looked impressed at the depth of meaning Hughes had managed in a single whispered word.
"There was one man at the safe, one at the door, one on the floor, and I think there may be another one somewhere else. There were four bags," Peter said.
He didn't like somewhere else, but criminals rarely considered his feelings. "What do you think?" He asked the exception to the rule.
Neal peered cautiously around the door and then ducked back. "Three out of ten, with an extra point for the stockings. That's just adorable."
"Please don't rate the armed robbers," Hughes growled as he came closer.
"Especially on their vintage chic," Peter agreed, and then moved to the side to let Hughes take his own look.
Neal shook his head. "Okay, fine. They're not professionals, they'd have been in and out in three minutes. In fact, they'd have done their homework, realised the place was under surveillance and they wouldn't even be in here.
"At least one of them was smart enough to choose the right time for the job, but they're still amateurs and amateurs panic. Personally, I don't like it when people carrying shotguns panic. That's just me."
Hughes nodded his agreement. "We go in there and shooting starts, it's ending badly." He half turned to Peter. "Call Jones and apprise him of the situation, they'll be watching in the van anyway. Tell him to get response-ready, but hold for now."
While Neal watched the door, Peter quickly made the call and then jumped at the sudden scream from the main room. He started forward but Neal stood in the way and hissed, "The guy working the safe can't get it done. They're trying to get the combination out of Lilly, and she's not giving it to them."
Lilly. Apparently Neal had spent more time with the manager than Peter had realised.
"They'll hurt her, we have to get in there," Neal said directly to Hughes.
Peter was surprised. Not by the concern, but when possible both men preferred Peter be the intermediary for anything more than the most casual conversation. That way Neal could pretend he wasn't really working for the FBI and Hughes, well Hughes could pretty much pretend Neal wasn't working for the FBI too.
"I know, but we go in there and it'll be a blood bath." Hughes looked a little surprised himself; Peter guessed it probably wouldn't do either any harm for the man to see there was more to Neal than a charming smile and long, long list of suspected crimes.
"I have an idea," Peter said slowly and glanced down at his cell. "We need to get them –"
Neal's eyes widened with understanding. "Sure, that's easy. You want me to-"
Peter nodded rapidly and waved him off. "Yeah, go do that. Buy Jones five, maybe."
Neal nodded and ducked around the corner.
"You want to fill in some nouns?" Hughes asked mildly.
Jasmine Snowdragon
Mozzie poked the pile of alleged tealeaves in the bowl between them. "We're drinking wood shavings, now? Did someone carve something surprisingly fragrant?"
Elizabeth giggled; it wasn't the high, affected laugh that Mozzie usually heard from beautiful women (well, Neal's beautiful women), this giggle was more like mischief escaping.
Her hand covered her mouth, but her eyes still shone. "It's white tea," she said, after curling her fingers away. "Every single leaf is hand-rolled into a spiral by an artisan."
"I wasn't aware art school was that difficult to get into." He palmed a pinch of the spirals and brought them up to his nose. "Ohhhh - this is the tea that can only be picked a few weeks a year, and there's a big secret about how it's made?
"I heard it's all done in the factory, now. Big corporations, lying to us - as usual."
"I hadn't heard that," Elizabeth said diplomatically, and then began to pour the tea. "Talking of secrets," she began conversationally.
Mozzie reached quickly for slice of lemon cake, but he was too late - far, far too late.
"Where was Peter going after work?" She finished quickly, while the cake was still halfway to his mouth.
"Have I mentioned how much I like that painting?" Mozzie nodded to the wall behind her. "The bold brushstrokes and color choices are daring – almost audacious – but they make for an outstanding piece."
She didn't look away; it was probably just as well, he was getting too old to throw himself out of windows while people were distracted. "Mozzie, I just want to know what to expect. You can understand that, right? It's good to be prepared. And if Neal's helping Peter get my gift, I may need to step up my game a little."
Despite himself, he was a little interested to find out what qualified as Romance between Mr. and Mrs. Suit. "What did you get him?"
Elizabeth waved a hand airily. "He has hundreds of baseball cards in the attic, they've just been gathering dust for thirty years – we hauled them with us between three apartments before we moved here."
Mid sip of tea, he had a sudden horrible premonition. "You sold them?"
"Of course I didn't sell them. I had them bound into a collector's book and Neal was kind enough to find me a ..." She looked up as she tried to remember. "... Mickey ... Mantle, I think he said, to add to the collection."
Mozzie choked on his cake.
Neal walked halfway across the shop floor and then stopped - any closer and he was fairly sure, when they finally noticed him, they'd shoot first and he wouldn't be around to care about afterwards.
The sales girl - Fiona, he thought - looked up at him; she seemed more angry than scared, but he smiled reassuringly anyway. At the other end of the store, the tallest robber had Lilly by the hair and her cheek pressed hard against the safe.
"You guys really didn't think this one through, did you?" Neal said, and didn't try and keep the anger from his tone; he added a dash of mockery, to taste.
Four men turned, and a row of shotguns rose. Neal held his hands up to shoulder height; the cuffs glinted in the gallery light. "I'm just saying: if this is going according to plan, your plan needs work."
"Who the hell are you?" demanded the man closest to the door.
Neal ignored the question and smiled disarmingly. "Fortunately for you, this is your lucky day."
Door Man edged closer and then, when he was sure Neal wasn't going to magically turn into a twelve-man SWAT invasion, put his shotgun on the floor and began a pat down.
He drew back rapidly when he came to the anklet.
Neal crossed his arms and glanced at the clock on the wall; two minutes down. "That little thing? Don't worry about it. Condition of my parole, but I don't recommend them."
Door Man stared dumbly, Neal rolled his eyes and pushed on. "Okay, I can tell small-talk isn't your thing, so I'll get to the point: I'll open the safe for you and in return, I get a cut of whatever's inside."
"Go to hell," said the man who had been working the safe, and punctuated his suggestion by raising the barrel of his gun.
Neal felt his smile freeze, but he didn't back up. "Fine, you just keep working at it until the cops get here - have fun. How about I start you off: that model? The default combination was all sixes. They may not have changed it, you never know."
Safe Man looked at him dubiously, but after a moment he spun the dial. Nothing happened.
Neal shrugged nonchalantly. "Eh, worth a try."
Door Man retrieved his shotgun and then gestured towards the safe. "Do it."
Neal stayed politely silent while the men argued and then let Door Man drag him closer; he huffed a tiny sigh of relief as Lilly was pushed back towards Fiona.
He raised a hand to the safe and hoped it was like riding a bike.
Hughes turned back from watching the little scene and frowned pensively. "Explain to me again exactly how Caffrey getting his hands on millions in diamonds is helping the situation, Agent Burke."
Well, at least Hughes didn't actually sound angry; somewhat bemused that Neal was now aiding and abetting a robbery, sure, but not angry.
So that was a plus.
"Jones has cleared the street and his team is in position. We just need to get these idiots out there," Peter answered. "The quickest way to do that is give them what they want."
From the main room, there was the sound of a heavy door opening and a murmur of appreciation.
Iron Goddess of Mercy
El patted Mozzie on the back and held out another paper towel. Mozzie felt she was making an excellent attempt at contrition, but the tears of laughter streaming down her cheeks didn't do much to help her sell sincere regret.
"Your face," she giggled again.
"What do you expect?" he grumbled, and finished dabbing at the tea he'd spilled.
"Mickey – hee – Mantle – hee."
"Yes, yes. Breathe." Mozzie drew himself up. "Well played. A little overworked towards the end and I personally would have gone with someone like Yount, but still."
"I'm sorry," she said, still not entirely believably, and then hiccoughed. "Actually, Neal made a copy for me. And I asked him to initial the back, so there won't be any unfortunate ... misunderstandings. It's the front piece."
"I'm sure he'll be overjoyed." Mozzie shook his head and gave in. "Neal is trying to talk him out of getting you a waffle iron."
She blinked. "But I want a waffle iron."
"For Valentine's Day? Really?"
"Sure." She nodded twice. "And, of course, a little card with a question mark so I can guess who it's from."
"You may not be getting a waffle iron," he broke to her. "Neal was pretty set on something else."
"Well, whatever it is, I'm sure I'll love it." Elizabeth nodded down to the table. "I think your tea is getting cold."
Mozzie sniffed and made no move towards the teacup. "I'm not sure I can drink any more. Also, I'm not sure if I should, you were unkind."
"Forgive me?" Elizabeth leaned forward with an expression of such overdone woe that Mozzie had to resist the urge to applaud. "There's just one more cup. It's an Oolong, and I think you'll like it. It's sweet, and a little nutty."
Mozzie stared at her until she cracked a smile and then grinned back.
He sipped the tea; she was right.
After the strong language and violence had died down outside, and Jones had confirmed four be-stockinged men in custody, Peter helped Lilly and Fiona to their feet and then wandered over to Neal.
"Pretty good plan," Neal greeted him.
Peter nodded and smiled. "I liked it. Pretty good execution," he added.
"Thank you, Peter." Neal smiled widely.
"You're welcome, Neal." Peter grinned through his teeth. "Now -- put it back."
"Put what back?" Neal asked, innocently.
Peter hadn't been absolutely sure - not a hundred percent, anyway - but Neal's expression of wide-eyed innocence was as good as DNA evidence and a roomful of nuns as sworn witnesses.
"Whatever you took," he said. "I know you took something."
"I would never do something like that. While you were watching."
Of course Neal took it, and of course he knew Peter was watching; he had just wanted to make sure Peter had been paying attention.
Which was fine, kind of. Well, it was Neal, anyway. But the problem was, Hughes wouldn't understand and he was bearing right down on them.
"Too late," Peter muttered and then raised his voice to say, "We're just making sure the surveillance equipment hasn't been damaged. Looks good."
"Uh huh." Hughes gaze slid over Peter and settled on Neal for a long moment before he nodded towards the safe. "Good work."
"Thank you," Neal said awkwardly. "I appreciate that."
Peter was relatively sure he even meant it.
"Now put it back," Hughes went on in the same measured tone.
Neal winced and Peter coughed; he tried a relaxed smile in the hope it could be passed off as a joke, although damned if he knew what he was going to say.
Hughes waited a beat and then said, "Quick thinking to take a cut, it got them out the door without making them nervous. And now whatever it was goes back."
"Oh look," Neal exclaimed. "Here it is." A bracelet was duly dropped back into its case.
Hughes pushed the safe door closed and spun the lock for good measure. "Now get out of here. Both of you. You've got a waffle iron to avoid buying."
Chef's Choice WafflePro
"These are fantastic," Mozzie said around a mouthful of syrup-drenched waffle. "Definitely these. Oh, and with the blueberries!"
"It's Valentine's Day," Peter said quietly. "Why am I in the kitchen making coffee with a felon while my wife feeds Havisham waffles?"
Neal handed him a slice of lemon cake. "Should have gone with the diamonds."

Today is Heartfelt's latest release Tropical Paradise came out today. I have a few cards to share that I've created with the stamps, dies and paper from this release. This release is a beautiful combination of colors and elements from nature.
You're My Best Friend Card Recipe
These flamingos are best buds as you can tell. I stamped then on water color paper and then used Zig markers to color them. The plumeria are also part of the stamps and dies in this release. There is a learning curve in getting them to look like flowers, but once you get it down – it's not too bad. I went through several of them before I got the technique. The background paper is part of the 12 x 12 paper pad included in the collection. The sentiment is also from the paper pad. This is such a fun release with beautiful colors.
Thanks for stopping by the blog today. Tune in tomorrow for another project.
Have a great day and enjoy the journey and some chocolate.
Luke 6: 46 – 47 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like.

Swansea boss Michael Laudrup hailed his side's progress despite their defeat by Manchester City.
Laudrup was full of praise for his players and said they will have nothing to fear at Liverpool in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday.
It will be the first time Swansea have faced their old boss Brendan Rodgers since he left them to join Liverpool in the summer.
And after seeing his side frustrate City for much of Saturday's game, Laudrup said his players have what it takes to win at Anfield before facing Chelsea on Saturday.
"Games against teams like City are a difficult kind to play and we have two more this week when we go to Liverpool on Wednesday and then Chelsea," said Laudrup.
"But if we can play like this against all the big teams then I think there will be something in it for us.
"City only had one big chance. Even the goal was not a chance, although you have to say it was a good strike.
"We had two good chances – both fell to Michu – and maybe we could have scored both of them.
"So, from our point of view, the boys deserved more."
Liverpool tried to sign Laudrup as a player back in 1984 and the 48-year-old Danish legend confirmed: "It's true that they tried to sign me.
"It's a great game for Swansea. We're playing a big side, we are facing the former manager and there's the possibility to go into the quarter-final."

Stone Agrees To Acquire Paper Maker
By ROBERT J. COLE
Published: January 27, 1989
In the first of what could be several friendly takeover deals outside the country, the Stone Container Corporation said yesterday that it had reached an agreement to buy Consolidated-Bathurst Inc., a big Canadian paper and packaging company, for $2.6 billion in cash.
Stone, the world's largest producer of cardboard and corrugated boxes, said that, as part of the deal, three stockholders holding 65 percent of Consolidated had agreed to sell their shares to Stone. The offer is to be made shortly to stockholders and is to be at $25 a share (Canadian), totaling about $2.6 billion (Canadian), or about $2.2 billion (American). The Canadian dollar is valued at 84.5 cents in this country. Holders Identified
Stone identified the shareholders as the Power Corporation of Canada, a utility company that owns 40 percent; the Kuwait Investment Office, which owns 10 percent, and Bouverie Investments Ltd., with 15 percent. Bouverie is thought to be a holding company for Associated Newspapers Holdings P.L.C., a British publishing group.
Sherman Chao, a paper analyst at Salomon Brothers Inc., said the deal would make Stone one of the largest pulp and paper companies in the world, possibly second to the International Paper Company in tons of paper produced a year.
''Stone's management believes that for the paper industry and Stone to do better,'' Mr. Chao said, ''the industry has to consolidate, and that has been Stone's central philosophy.'' He said the company had spent about $1.5 billion in the last five years on three major paper deals in this country, including $510 million in 1983 for the brown paper division of the Continental Group. 'A New Chapter'
''This deal,'' the analyst said, ''marks the beginning of a new chapter, and Stone will be looking at acquisitions to make itself a global paper company.''
Asked whether Stone had other foreign deals in mind, Arnold F. Brookstone, the senior vice president of the Chicago-based company, said that ''over the long term, this will not end our foreign opportunities.''
News of the pending deal may have reached some buyers on the Toronto Stock Exchange as early as Tuesday, when Consolidated's shares jumped 87.5 cents (Canadian) in heavy trading. By Wednesday, the Power Corporation, which owns 40 percent of the company, asked the exchange to halt trading in its stock and in Consolidated's.
Yesterday, Consolidated's stock, the most active, jumped $7.875 (Canadian), to $24.50. Power's shares, the third most active, rose $1.375 each, to $15.50 (Canadian). On the New York Stock Exchange, Stone's shares fell $1.125 each, to $33.375.
The Dow Jones News Service quoted Roger W. Stone, Stone's chairman, as saying that he began negotiations with Consolidated's large shareholders about eight months ago. He said that the talks broke down because it was not clear whether they wanted to sell, but that negotiations resumed earlier this month. The agreement was reached on Wednesday evening. Kuwait Pays $19 a Share
The Kuwait Investment Office bought its stock in mid-1988 at $19 a share, according to news reports then, and agreed to work with Power to dispose of them.
Mr. Stone said the purchase was ''consistent with our strategy of commitment to the growth and profitability of our core business,'' unbleached products, newsprint and pulp. ''In view of the global nature of our products, we plan on becoming a multinational pulp and paper company.'' Consolidated's operations will remain in Montreal, he said.
Financing will come from a group led by the Bankers Trust Company, Citibank, the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company and the First National Bank of Chicago. The First Boston Corporation is advising Stone.
Investment Canada, the Government agency that reviews foreign takeovers, said it would evaluate the deal for its ''net benefit to Canada.'' Analysts there said no obstacles were anticipated.

Y tu mama, tambien is one of those movies that actually changes the way you feel immediately after watching it. The movie has many fun, lighthearted, entertaining exchanges between actors, but it is also a very deep movie that doesn't make the viewer want to commit suicide at the end. For instance, a narrator will often mention what a character is thinking to him/herself during a conversation. This makes the characters much more dimensional than if you had simply heard their somewhat superficial dialogue. This is a wonderful movie that links the past, present and future together along with the characters of varied social status. This is a movie for anyone who remembers the road trips and experimental attitudes of adolescence. Two thumbs WAY UP!!!
Billy Elliot is a wonderful story of a young boy overcoming obstacles to
participate in the one activity that takes him away from his troubled family
life. By dancing, Billy unleashes his frustrations, yet also receives much
criticism by participating in a less than macho sport. Every aspect of this
movie was well done: the acting was superb, the characters were complex but
believable, but the cinematography alone takes the cake. The cameras look at
things from some very interesting and unusual views. Every shot was well
planned out and every item in the background had importance.
This is one of the best movies I've seen recently and one that definitely shouldn't be missed by anyone that believes in following his or her dreams.

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add?
The exposed proliferation antigen 210 (XPA-210) of the proliferation marker thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) showed higher expression levels in metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
The current study used a new XPA-210 antibody to clarify the role of TK1 tissue expression in the largest reported cohort of different renal cell carcinoma types and oncocytomas.

Kylian Mbappe is likely to stay at Monaco, believes Arsene Wenger, who confirmed Arsenal have not made a world-record bid for the in-demand striker.
Mbappe has been linked with Arsenal and Real Madrid after scoring 15 goals to fire Monaco to the Ligue 1 title, as well as hitting six goals in his side's run to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Wenger previously indicated that he would be interested in signing the precocious 18-year-old, but the Frenchman now thinks Mbappe will still be in Ligue 1 for the new season.
"It looks like that," Wenger told reporters when asked if Mbappe would stay at Monaco. "Maybe he had too much choice, so in the end people don't move."
Reports in Spain claimed Arsenal had made a world-record bid of £123million for Mbappe, but Wenger denied that was the case.
"That's not true," Wenger said. "People have big imaginations. What we know now with Mbappe is it's over £100m, after that it's free for everyone to imagine.
"But we have not made any offer. I think he will stay, it looks like that, for one more season."
Mbappe teased fans on Friday when he made a "big announcement" regarding his future via social media, but it turned out the teenager was merely unveiling his new boots.

I have to admit, I almost didn't give this story a chance. It felt a bit too cliche. I am glad I stuck with it though, and you might be too if you check it out. It's a very short and humorous story, worth five minutes of your time.
Fight of the Century
(by Peter A Schaefer)
Felton Bruder paced in his boxing shorts and sweats. His manager looked up from his phone. "Easy, champ. Relax. This is just like any other fight you've been in, alien or not."
"You know it ain't." Felton kept pacing. "Every other fight, I've seen the fighter in action. This 'Bayaran,' I don't even know what he looks like."… Read More
