Well, going based on English pronounciation rules:
"Qu" forms the "k" sound "Kuh" as in "Kuh-een" (queen) or "Kuh-aye-zar" (quasar).
"Que" forms the sound "Kuh-e" (e as in heck) as in "Kuh-e-shun" (question) or "Kuh-e-bec" (quebec)
So, "Queatrix", might sound like "Kuh-e-aye-trix", But like many latin-based languages, English often allows consecutive vowels to be slurred with pseudo-consonants to aid the mouth. Particularly in the case of consecutive vowels, closing or pursing the lips after forming the first vowel aids in forming the next one, as in the conjunction of "Qu" and a vowel. Pursing the lips after sounding "kuh" and then re-opening them to form the next vowel produces the pseudo-consonant "w" (the sound made by blowing air through pursed lips) as in "Kuh-ween" or "Kuh-way-zar". So a more "mouth-friendly" pronounciation might be "kuh-weh-aye-trix". However, the sound "kuh" and its following vowel may be further slurred to form the consonant pair "kw" followed by the vowel. In the case of an "e" (as in heck), it will form the sound "kweh" as in "kwehst" (quest) or "kwehs(c)hun" (question) or "kwehlm" (quelm) (in the case of a, it would be "kway" as in "kwayzar" or "kwayke" (quake)). So now the sound "kuh-weh-aye-trix" becomes "kweh-aye-trix". From here, the "aye" sound may subjugated into the "kweh" sound to produce the final pronounciation as:
However, other pronounciations may be formed depending on how that last step is carried out:
Thankfully, Dave's is a lot easier :

ELYRIA — Prosecutors have agreed to turn over police reports and witness interviews to attorneys representing accused killer Tristen Belfiore and his family before a hearing in which they intend to move the case against the 17-year-old to the adult criminal justice system.
But the information will only be provided to the lawyers, who won't be able to show the documents and recordings to their client or anyone else under the terms of an agreement reached Thursday in Lorain County Juvenile Court.
Assistant County Prosecutor Adam Bryda wrote in a motion filed that prosecutors are concerned about witness safety.
"The State's concern is due to persons connected to the accused threatening witnesses in this case," Bryda wrote.
Michael Towne, Belfiore's defense attorney and other lawyers involved in the case, had complained last week that prosecutors were refusing to divulge the information linking Belfiore to the July 1 slaying of Davion Strupe in the Westway Garden Apartments in Elyria.
Towne said during a hearing last week that all prosecutors had given him was the death certificate for Strupe, who was shot after being beaten, and the names of police officers and other witnesses.
But Towne said after Thursday's hearing that now that prosecutors have agreed to provide the additional information he and the other lawyers will be able to prepare to defend Belfiore during a probable cause hearing.
Because of Belfiore's age and the murder charge against him — prosecutors dropped additional aggravated murder and other charges Thursday — his case must be sent to adult court under state law.
Juvenile Judge Frank Janik is scheduled to hold the hearing on the matter on Sept. 30. It had originally been scheduled for later this month, but the judge agreed to the delay because of the dispute over evidence.
Defense attorneys also plan to bring up whether Belfiore is entitled to what is known as an amenability hearing in which the judge would need to review whether Belfiore's case should be handled in juvenile court. The Ohio Supreme Court is considering how to handle an unrelated case challenging mandatory bindovers to adult court.
Elyria police have said that Strupe, 24, was killed after a group of people went looking for him for selling drugs in the area. Strupe was allegedly hauled out of an apartment and beaten before he was able to flee. Investigators contend he was shot once by Belfiore.
Todd Wells, Markus Martin and Anthony Marcano are also facing murder charges in connection with Strupe's death, while several other people are charged with aggravated riot for their alleged involvement in the attack.

The Best of Quito's Nightlife — Drinking
|Social Hub: Plaza Foch is one of the most vibrant nightlife areas in Quito.
At long last, Quito is shaking off its reputation as a button-downed place and having some fun. Ecuador's capital city has the country's most cosmopolitan nightlife, as well as some of its friendliest bars and hottest nightclubs. Even better, Quito's drinking spots and nightclubs are mostly clustered within a few blocks of one another, making bar hopping fun and easy.
The city has thousands of watering holes, which range from local dives to chic spots. One of the hippest places is Naranjilla Mecánica (JL Tamayo 549) in the La Floresta neighborhood. Tables hang from the ceiling, the walls of one room are covered in fur, and clowns have been known to saunter in and chat up the patrons.
In addition to serving a long list of drinks ($3-7), the bar has periodic art exhibitions, movie screenings and DJ performances. For a more relaxed time, the Lennon Bar (Lizardo García E8-24, intersection with Diego de Almagro) in the Mariscal neighborhood is a cheap, friendly bar, popular with young Ecuadorians.
It's a great place to come with friends and share an oversized pitcher (per person, $1-3). Homesick visitors have a number of bars that cater to them in the Mariscal.
The Boot (corner of Calama and Juan León Mera) captures the feel of an American college bar; there is even a beer pong table. Drinks range from $2-6. Finn McCool's (intersection of Pinto and Diego de Almagro) is a rowdy Irish-themed bar with TVs and a projection screen for sporting events.
More subdued, and drawing an older crowd, the Reina Victoria Pub (Reina Victoria 530, intersection with Roca) is about as close as you'll get to a English country pub in Ecuador.

text: Thanks to Pau Gasol's 29 points the Spanish team overcame a 14 point deficit to send the game into overtime tied at 72. Then, much to the chagrin of millions of angry Chinese, Spain overcame karma and pulled out an 85-75 victory. But not before their team picture exploded into controversy. To such a degree that the Spanish press are going out of their way to defend the team. Spanish news site, Soitu's article suggests that the international media are making too big of a deal of the "slit-eye" photo. Their article commences: "What began as a simple graceful photo to wish luck to the Spanish basketball team in the Olympic Games has finished with accusations of racism and discrimination in the foreign press." Yes, of course, a simple, graceful photo. The fact that this photo exists isn't a huge surprise. Basketball players aren't renowned for their worldly perspective. What's unique about this photograph is that it ran in two of Spain's biggest newspapers. As an advertisement for a courier service, no less. And not one single person in Spain thought it was the least bit offensive. Only when other countries saw the photograph did it become an issue. Put it this way, what would have happened in America if the U.S. Basketball team posed for these photos on behalf of Fed Ex? Yeah, thought so. The Spanish press doesn't think these photos are a big deal, but the rest of the world disagrees. ¿Te parece ofensiva esta foto?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Now that black farmers and the Agriculture Department have reached a multimillion-dollar settlement, both sides are focusing on locating the thousands of farmers across the country who may have been wronged.
An 800-telephone number has been set up to take calls from farmers wanting to join the settlement.
Meetings are being scheduled in Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina and Arkansas so that attorneys can meet with farmers and review their cases. A meeting in Albany, Ga., has been scheduled for Feb. 12 and 13.
"This expedited procedure is truly unique," said plaintiffs' attorney Phil Fraas, adding that it should take less than six to eight months to process cases. "It is designed to give farmers speedy action on complaints that have languished at USDA for years - or in some cases decades."
Attorneys announced late Tuesday that a settlement had been reached in the 1997 racial discrimination lawsuit, ending more than two years of sometimes-contentious negotiations. Black farmers sued because they were denied access to government loans and subsidies.
A federal judge gave preliminary approval to the deal, which covers black farmers from 1981 to 1996. Final approval is expected at a March 2 hearing.
The settlement has several tracks under which farmers who have documented their discrimination can get relief. The majority of farmers are expected to take a simpler provision that would give them tax-free payments of $50,000 each and forgive their government debts.
Farmers with more documented evidence of their discrimination can opt to go before an independent arbitrator and seek larger damages. Farmers may also choose to opt out of the lawsuit and have their cases settled administratively within USDA.
The exact cost of the settlement is unclear because it is not yet known how many farmers will join the class and which settlement options they will choose.
It could surpass $300 million to $400 million, however.
Plaintiffs' attorney Alexander Pires said he expects a class of about 5,000 black farmers, 10 percent of the 50,000 black farmers in the country in the early 1980s.
He says attorneys have located almost 2,000 black farmers. To help locate more, a major advertising campaign will kick off on television, in magazines and in hundreds of newspapers within the next few weeks.
The $450,000 advertising campaign is being paid for by the Agriculture Department under the settlement agreement.

All-Star Game gets TV, social media boost
All-Star Game gets TV, social media boost
The game drew an 8.1 metered market rating, according to data from Neilsen, besting the 7.9 from last year's game. That allowed FOX to beat its closest competitor by 47 percent in the night's prime time ratings.
Although Kansas City hosted the game, it finished second among all markets with a rating of 18.7. On the other side of Missouri, St. Louis pulled in a national-best 20.5. Detroit was third at 16.1
Detroit, with an increase of 50 percent, also saw the biggest ratings boost over last year's game in Phoenix, followed by Washington, Los Angeles and Dallas.
The game also was a social media success, generating 807,603 total public Twitter and Facebook comments, an increase of 257 percent compared with last year, based on data from Bluefin Labs.

So this is my first dynam bird and when I plug in my battery and power it up the motor beeps at e continuously. Manual says its a voltage issue but both batteries that I tried did the same thing (14.8v 2200mah 30c electrifly's). Got any quick troubleshooting tips? I'm not running a bec, controls are on a separate circuit.
Elevator Rework...
...paid off after all......
Got a chance to fly the D-3D four times last weekend & I'm happy to say she's flying even better now. Flew her in some pretty strong winds too, the kind that used to keep me (mentally) grounded. Anyway, I mustered up the nerve to take her up & it was well worth it. Almost all up trim is gone to keep her flying neutral. Before the heat treatment it seemed like it took about 5 or 6 degrees of up elevator to counter this badly warped control surface......
Still the same responsive aerobatic ship that fits well for my style of flying & she doesn't complain when it comes time to land. Can't wait to rack up more stick time on her now that she's even more dialed in...
If it's already been posted I apologize but putting a properly balanced APC 13X6.5 on instead of those terrible black props it comes with is the best thing you can do for any of the Dynam planes that come with them. Great power and flies well even with the elevator cupped, it just needs some up trim but flies very neutral when trimmed for level flight. Great flying foam plane.
I have a PILE of props, so I will give an APC a shot. I was so surprised that the black props were almost perfect balanced that I never gave a thought to changing.
I am sure the plane flies fine with the cupped elevator, with trim, but what about inverted? Then the trim works against you. With a straight elevator, and almost no trim, I fly it upside or downside perfectly flat. It is worth a bit of fixing, IMHO. But if you don't spend much time inverted, it is a fine flying plane ... just trim it!
Way too windy to fly, so I spent some time balancing a new APC 13x6.5 for tomorrows flying. I tend to bounce all around when it comes to props and I never considered changing out the Dynam prop on this plane. It balanced well and seemed just fine as far as performance goes. But, I have now started down the changing props road again! Shoot, may even try this 14x7 I have. It is a low Kv motor, after all!
Same for me on the black props, I have three of the Dynam planes that came with them and the hubs on all of them were way out of balance. This isn't too uncommon but since the hub isn't solid it makes it really hard to balance. As long as the ESC can handle the extra current I'll have to give the 14x7 a try.
Questions before Buying the D3D
Fellas, I need a bipe.
I had a Peaks a long while back, and it was ok; but didn't set my metaphorical hair on fire...and I had to mod the heck out of it to get it to 3D right. Anyway, I sold it.
But I need a 40" foam bipe, and this looks like a contenda. I'm 3D heli & airplane (ala Crack Yak Lite, etc), so that's my interest.
Now as to this Dynam:
a) will she hover; if so, how are the torque rolls & punchouts? she got enough power?
b) I prefer neutral to tail-heavy CG (for maximum snap & pop, etc)...when inverted (where I am 80% of the time) I like only very slight down elevator for level flt...so does the batt compartment have enough room to move the batt aft to achieve neutral CG?
c) are the control surfaces (mainly, elevator) ample enough to get 45-deg deflection? Has anybody added 3D long-throw servo horns?
d) how are the stock servos...ie are they fast enough, and do they center well?
NP has these in stock, so I'm thinking I'd better jump...on the other ahand, I'm looking for a plank I can bang the sticks with and really toss around...
Thx fellas, appreciate the input!
poiyt - I'm thinking that if you are into serious 3D and you've been flying Crack Yak flat foamies, you won't like this. It is not like any Tech One plane. I really don't think you can toss this plane like you want to. MHO, or my $.02.
crawlspace - I balanced up a new 13x6.5 APC and gave it a couple of batteries. Hmmmmm I don't think I liked it. To me, it felt sluggish. What is up with that? Half inch more pitch should have given it more speed, not much, but should not be sluggish. OK, will this ESC handle a 14x7? I am not a watt guru, I am easily confused. So if one of you smart folks have any info on that, post it please. Thanks in advance!
Devil's Got a Hold on Me..
...for sure & I don't like being with out my "Bipenista"......
This ship is very capable in the right hands. I'm not any kind of 3D expert but I do know she is one flickable & agile ship that can handle anything you throw at her. The stock set up is fine and you can get a lot of tail surface throws (haven't measured). The ailerons may look relatively small for this ship, but let me tell ya...she can spin lightning fast on mid-rates, plus she's got four of 'em......
She'll flat spin, blender & waterfall no problem. Knife Edges have some coupling going on but mainly due to a warped elevator, which is a fairly common defect but can be mixed out just like on the Peaks 42. She flies great inverted but the stock battery bay needs work to move the pack back to get a more neutral balance. Much too nose heavy for me in stock form......
The power system is pretty well tested in this size Dynam bird. Plus, the airframe is based on the Ultimate Bipe so she's more suited to aerobatics than even the very agile Peaks 42 is... Stock servos seem to be working well; howerver, the stock tail control linkages have too much slop, at least mine did so I replaced them. Ailerons work fine even with the short & thin rods, though these are easily replaced, too... I've had pretty darn good results flying this Lil' Devil. She'll fly on 1/3 power & then take off, not necessarily "rocket off," at full power no problem......
She'll turn on a dime & give you change as the saying goes. She's got the typical low-budget ARF issues, like the Peaks did but probably the two best reasons to have her in the fleet are 1. she can handle strong winds for her relatively small size & 2. you can't beat the price of admission for this Dynam Rx-R bird... Stand by as I'm sure others will chime in about how their D-3D flies so well too, now that the weekend's here...

Now is really the time to post places for reasonably priced fabrics. Not on line....we can all find these places but places we might encounter while traveling, on vacation etc.
I will start with:
If in the central Massachusetts area.
Auburn (near Worcester) is "The $1.99 Fabric Store". Some good fabric there for quilting.
Mardens in Maine. This has been mentioned and need to check to see which stores carry fabric. Prices from $2.99-$3.99 thereabouts.
Lets add to this list. NO on line please. Just store fronts.

Was Hilary Duff Involved in Gossip Girl Threesome? Details Revealed!
It's been talked about for a while now and results have been revealed. It had been confirmed that some of the characters on Gossip Girl would have a threesome. Hilary Duff's character Olivia Burke was among those, who could possibly be involved in the drama.
Find out after the jump whether or not Olivia was involved in a threesome.
It's true!!! Last night's episode of Gossip Girl aired, showing a steamy threesome between Olivia Burke, boyfriend, Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) and Olivia's roommate, Vanessa Abrams (Jessica Szohr). Yowza! Here is how it all went down.
The three of them come back from a college party, and sit down on the floor together reading the school newspaper. The newspaper lists off a bunch of things that lead to the Ultimate College Experience, the last and only one that they haven't tried is, of course, the threesome. So they get this idea…and you get the point. Awkward!
Are you guys surprised at all?!

For the last couple of months, you may feel increasingly tired as your baby gets heavier and your bump more cumbersome. Learn to snatch five minutes' rest here and there - the ability to cat-nap will be a huge advantage when a solid eight hours is no longer possible.
Your baby
Taste is developing and it's believed your baby gets a tiny tang of what you are eating. He is now also packing on the pounds and fat stores are being laid down under his skin. Consequently, he is becoming less wrinkly and his skin is growing more opaque. Plus he is beginning to be able to dream.
Planning that delivery
Hopefully, you've a good idea of what you want to buy for your baby now. If you feel superstitious and don't want to bring it home yet, Mothercare's Baby Plan service that means you can order ahead and have everything delivered to your door just in time for your baby. It also helps you budget for the new arrival.
Ready, steady, nursery
With just a couple of months to go, it's time to get the nursery ready. Even though it's best to have your baby sleeping in your room in a crib or cot for the first six months, preparing a special room (if you have space) is useful. It's a place for changing nappies, feeding, naps, cuddles... It's best to go for neutral colours (unless you're sure what you're having) and to match wall colours to the bedding you've chosen.
Take a back seat
You shouldn't be doing the hands-on work for any nursery decorating. Assume the role of adviser and decision maker, and leave things that may be bad for your baby to the professionals (or your partner). So avoid:
- Paint stripping
- Painting
- Varnishing
- Floor sanding
- Climbing ladders

Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas
Whose responsibility is if if a neighbors goats climb through a fence onto my property. Is it my responsibility to repair/replace the fence, or the owner of the goats?
Asked on 8/02/13, 4:35 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
Adam Kielich The Kielich Law Firm
Generally the owner of animals is responsible for the damage caused by his or her animals. However, if the fence is on your property and it was in disrepair before the goats climbed through then the goat owner may not have much responsibility to fix your fence since it was already in a shabby condition.

The immigrant population in California is falling, a likely consequence of a depressed economy that has meant far fewer jobs to entice foreign-born workers, new Census Bureau data shows.
Especially compelling is the significant drop San Diego County saw last year in Mexican-born immigrants, long a major source of labor for the region's lower-wage jobs in agriculture, construction and the hospitality industry.
After a largely uninterrupted increase in the county's Mexican immigrant population throughout the decade, there was a drop of 9 percent, or 29,000 fewer immigrants, between 2007 and 2008, according to estimates released yesterday by the Census Bureau.
Among all county residents identifying themselves as foreign-born, the decline was nearly 2 percent, the same as in California.
While immigration growth in recent years has been slowing statewide as more recent arrivals head to lower-cost, job-rich areas in other parts of the United States, demographers believe last year's decline is clearly tied to a rising unemployment rate and a scarcity of new jobs.
Nationwide, the number of immigrants remained largely flat.
"With the poor economy, we have a smaller volume of people coming north from Mexico relative to what we've had in the past," said San Diego State University geography professor John Weeks. "It's not people fleeing the country because of the recession, it's because they're not coming here as much as they have in the past because of the recession."
The latest numbers come from the American Community Survey, which queried roughly 3 million households across the United States last year.
While the county's current unemployment rate of 10.4 percent is significantly higher than last year's, the Census Bureau numbers still reflect a year in which 10,000 jobs were lost, according to University of San Diego economist Alan Gin.
"Among construction jobs, we reached our peak in June of 2006, so we've been declining for two full years," Gin said. "And between June 2006 and last summer, we lost about 20,000 jobs in construction."
Gin suspects this year's contraction in the leisure and hospitality industry, which is another large source of low-paying jobs, could accelerate the drop-off in the county's immigrant population.
San Diego has seen a loss of 7,000 such jobs since August 2008, Gin said.
In some respects, the new data is a reaffirmation of previous reports documenting a growing number of Latinos bypassing or migrating from California to states where the cost of living is lower and job prospects better.
The Census Bureau shows some of the heaviest losses of foreign-born people in metro areas such as Los Angeles, Phoenix, Detroit, Riverside and San Diego, where the prospects for low-skilled foreign-born workers have been stagnating.
By contrast, Atlanta, Dallas and Houston showed the biggest gains.
"This entire decade, there has been a movement out of California and to the mid-Atlantic and the South," said Rakesh Kochhar, associate director for research at the Pew Hispanic Center. "This might be the latest manifestation of that."
Kochhar wrote a report for the center last year on how the economic slump was affecting Latino workers, particularly immigrants from Mexico, a group heavily represented in the weakened construction industry. According to the report, about 221,000 immigrants left construction in 2007. Of those, about 152,000 were immigrants from Mexico. There was no indication at the time that foreign-born workers were leaving the country, Kochhar said.
Studies over the past several years have underscored the notion that economic opportunities are the new leading driver of where immigrants choose to move, said researcher Sarah Bohn of the San Francisco-based Public Policy Institute of California.
In the past, the key determining factor was where other immigrants had previously settled, Bohn said.
"In California, we have one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation, so I'd expect the immigrant population would be declining here more," she said.
The survey numbers indicate that fewer foreign-born people are coming to the United States, and that the same factors deterring them from coming are prompting some to leave, said Steven Camarota, research director for the Center for Immigration Studies, a research group that favors tougher restrictions on immigration.
A report co-written by Camarota last year estimated a decline of more than 1 million in the nation's undocumented population. Camarota, whose estimates were based on the population of Latino immigrants between ages 18 and 40, said he believes this is the result of immigrants leaving.
"Even if the number coming is way down, it can't result in a decline like this," he said. "The number going home has to have increased quite a bit."
Some demographers predict that San Diego could see a reversal in the declining number of immigrants once the local economy strengthens.
"Everything would suggest that when the economy rebounds, migration will rebound along with it," said Weeks, director of SDSU's International Population Center. "San Diego is just too attractive a place, and we do have a good economy, although it may not be the greatest economy right now."Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Split in Two, What to Do? Elephants vs. Donkeys in the Wake of Government Shutdown
By Brittany Stepniak
Once upon a time, a group of elephants and asses met in a fancy room to have fancy conversations about the ways of the world. Tough problems need solid solutions, and solid solutions need sophisticated thinkers. But when a contemplative donkey is sure he's found the perfect cure, a quarrelsome elephant is sure there must be something more. A tale often told, the story always sounds the same.
It's really nothing new; a bi-partisan policy is no simple feat. But, the economic crisis in the United States won't simply sit and simmer while the Republicans and Democrats stall until an agreement may be made. With each passing day climbs an increasingly realistic fear of the first government shutdown in 15 years. Tension is deep and time isn't cheap.
From Bloomberg:
House Speaker John Boehner insisted during the more than hour-long session that any agreement contain "both significant cuts and policy limitations" on the Obama administration, even as he expressed a "strong preference" for a bipartisan deal before the end of the week, according to an account of the meeting released by the Ohio Republican's office.
April 8th. That's this coming Friday. Both parties are separately preparing for shutdown if a compromise isn't reached by then. However, the Republicans have a plan that would buy them more time. One more week. April 15th...next Friday.
So both groups do have to agree on one thing: time is running out. Disagreement lies within what is fair and practical in terms of dollars and sense. Alas, the Republicans are in discord with the Democrats' offer to cut spending by $33 billion for the remainder of the year.
More from Bloomberg:
Balking at that offer, House Republicans prepared a new stopgap measure that would slash $12 billion from current spending, fund the Pentagon through the Sept. 30 close of the fiscal year and keep the rest of the government operating until April 15. That would buy more time for talks on a package that Republicans say must contain deeper cuts than the $33 billion Democrats are offering.
Initially, Republicans asserted a need for $61 billion in cuts-- immediately deemed quite unreasonable by Obama and Senate democrats. 61 vs. 33. 61 BIILLION DOLLARS vs. 33 BILLION DOLLARS! Elephants vs. Donkeys. There is $28 billion of disagreement between sides. And they've got less than three days to play tug-of-war before the government shuts down...+10

Leviticus 19:19
'You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together.
Leviticus 11:9-11
"'Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams you may eat any that have fins and scales. But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales—whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water—you are to regard as unclean. And since you are to regard them as unclean, you must not eat their meat; you must regard their carcasses as unclean. Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be regarded as unclean by you.

Another episode of What Would Ryan Lochte Do? aired last night, though this is another one of those "If Ryan Lochte's TV show was on last night, and nobody was around to watch it, did it really happen?" situations. And while we're sure he said and did a number of outrageous things, this takes the cake:
So, yeah, there's Ryan Lochte with what appears to be his erection. Nobody on the SportsGrid staff had the time/energy/ability/impetus to watch What Would Ryan Lochte Do? last night, because we are normal people who have respect for our brain cells. So maybe right after this, Lochte pulled away the blanket to reveal a Gatorade bottle, or a stack of medals, and everyone had a good laugh. We don't know. Do you?
This concludes our coverage of Ryan Lochte's penis for today.

The ReThink and ReUse Center in Miami is letting creative kids, teachers, and parents turn trash into art treasures.
The non-profit on Southwest 75th Ave. is an art store, educational center, and recycling facility rolled into one. The materials used there had former lives as bottle caps, fabric samples, packing foam, wallpaper, even ice cream tubs.
Now cleaned and organized, the items beg to be reused as art elements, manipulatives, and building tools.
The Center encourages "hands on learning", offering workshops so teachers can learn techniques for educating students through play.
An annual membership costs $25. Non-members can pay $1 per pound of materials.

Average voting in initial hours of Delhi civic polls (Second Lead)April 15th, 2012 - 1:08 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, April 15 (IANS) Around 12 to 15 percent voters turned up to exercise their franchise in the first three hours of polls to the trifurcated Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) Sunday, election officials said.
The election to 272 seats is expected to witness a tough fight between the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress. Voting began at 8 a.m. amid tight security.
"The voting percentage ranged between 12 to 15 percent for the first three hours. Since it is a Sunday, the turnout is likely to go up," a state election commission official said.
The election commission received some complaints of electronic voting machines (EVMs) malfunctioning in certain polling booths.
"Certain complaints of EVMs not working and voter slips not being distributed arrived from some polling booths. We are rectifying the technical problems," the official said.
Meanwhile women voters turned up in high numbers in the morning, the commission noticed.
Over one crore voters are eligible to exercise their franchise to decide the fate of 2,423 candidates.
People queued up outside 11,543 booths across the capital to vote for elections to the newly trifurcated MCD. While the corporations of north and south have 104 wards each, the east Delhi corporation has 64.
A total of 30,000 armed police personnel have been deployed at the booths to ensure free and fair elections. The BJP, which rules the corporation, had swept the 2007 elections in the then unified MCD with 168 seats.
With the Delhi assembly elections due in end-2013, the results will have significant impact on the morale of the parties.
Polling ends at 5.30 p.m. Votes will be counted Tuesday.

This is a fabulous ice cream parlour, that I believe has a few branches, but the original one and the one I am reviewing today is the one located at 14 Victoria Parade, Broadstairs, Kent.
There are many choices of ice cream on offer:
A one, two or three scoop cone or tub in a variety of yummy flavours, different ones like honeycomb and pistacio or traditional options like strawberry and mint.
However with all the fancy sundaes, banana splits and other extravagant deserts you will no doubt opt for one of those! Truly delicious!
There is also a menu for lunches including paninis, bagettes and a selection of hot and cold drinks, there is a very cute babycino drink on offer which is a childs cappucino minus the coffee.
Most things are reasonably priced, they also offer some discounts for students.
The scooped ice creams are £1.50/£2.60/£3.70 depending on the number of scoops and the other deserts vary in price, £4-£8 depending on the extravangance!
This is actually an award winning ice cream parlour and after visiting can see why.
There is huge, spacious seating area inside and a few tables outside too.
There is also disabled access, although this is via ramp that is not readily available.
It is clean and well staffed, everyone is friendly and knowlegable.
It is child friendly with both the menu and seating areas and have high chairs to use.
A yummy yummy treat! Afterall no trip to the seaside should be without ice cream!
You really cant visit Broadstairs without visiting Morellis!! The first time I went I couldnt find it as it is a little bit hiddden, but it is on the higher level by the Charles Dickens museum! (This will make sense if you know Broadstairs or when you get there if you dont!!)
There is a huge history behind the name Morellis and its becoming quite famous, you wont just be having an ice cream you'll be having a whole ice cream experience!!!
How could you possibly resist?!

|Tuesday's Morning Mashup: Lakers' Kobe Bryant mocks rumors of infighting with Dwight Howard
|01.08.13 at 8:01 am ET
Welcome to Tuesday's Morning Mashup. For the latest news, start at our WEEI.com home page or click here for the top stories from our news wire.
NBA: Lakers at Rockets, 8 p.m. (NBA TV)
College basketball: Northeastern at Drexel, 7 p.m. (CSNNE)
College basketball: Baylor at Texas Tech, 7 p.m. (ESPN2)
College basketball: Clemson at Duke, 7 p.m. (ESPNU)
College basketball: Alabama at Missouri, 7 p.m. (ESPN)
College basketball: Ohio State at Purdue, 9 p.m. (ESPN)
College basketball: Pittsburgh at Georgetown, 9 p.m. (ESPNU)
College hockey: Notre Dame at Minnesota (NESN)
'¦ On the same day it was revealed that Dwight Howard has a torn labrum and will join Pau Gasol (concussion) on the sideline for at least a week, Lakers star Kobe Bryant tried to downplay rumors of discontent on the team.
Responding to a report that he and Howard did not get along and almost got into a fistfight, Bryant on Monday tweeted a picture of the two pretending to square off in the trainer's room with coach Mike D'Antoni smiling between them.
"Obviously, there are fake stories coming out, somebody has something against our team," Howard said. "Me and Kobe don't have a problem with each other. We're not beefing. So for somebody to come out with a random story and say me and him got into a fight? It's ridiculous."
Said Bryant: "It's not true. We all try to be professional about what we do. I guess some [journalists] skate around that a little bit."
The Lakers are 15-18 and in 11th place in the Western Conference.
'¦ The Jets made a move to their coaching staff Monday, parting ways with quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh. A former Patriots backup QB (1978-82), Cavanaugh spent four seasons on the Jets staff, and his contract expires in a few weeks.
There has been speculation that offensive coordinator Tony Sparano also will not be retained, following his one season with the team. He has two years remaining on his contract.
Coach Rex Ryan and owner Woody Johnson are scheduled to meet with the media Tuesday for their overdue season-ending press conference.
'¦ ESPN "First Take" panelist Rob Parker, who is serving a 30-day suspension for his racially charged comments about Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, appeared on a Detroit TV show and insisted that his comments were taken out of context.
"It was just a conversation that's had in the black community when athletes, or famous entertainers or whatever, push away from their people," said Parker, who previously apologized on Twitter. "And that's really what it's about. You saw it with O.J. Simpson, and some other people, where they say, 'Well, I'm not black. I'm O.J.' So it's more about that, not about RGIII and what's going on. It's more about this thing that we've battled for years and why people have pushed away from their people. It's more about that."
Added Parker: "The whole thing is, and I want to make this clear, I wasn't saying that he wasn't black enough. And so, when people say that, it's just not true. I was saying these are the conversations that take place once a guy pushes away. It was never aimed at him, or I was calling him that. I'm saying, these are the conversations that take place."
ON THIS DAY TRIVIA: On Jan. 8, 1944, which Bruins forward was leading the NHL with 53 points in just 26 games when he injured his shoulder during a 12-3 loss to the Maple Leafs, causing him to miss all but 10 games the rest of the season — and finish with 71 points, two points short of the league's single-season record?
|Monday's Morning Mashup: Jets QB coach question's Mark Sanchez's 'decision-making'
|05.14.12 at 7:46 am ET
Welcome to Monday's Morning Mashup. For the latest news, start at our WEEI.com home page or click here for the top stories from our news wire.
NBA playoffs: 76ers at Celtics, 7 p.m. (TNT; WEEI)
NBA playoffs: Lakers at Thunder, 9:30 p.m. (TNT)
NHL playoffs: Devils at Rangers, 8 p.m. (NBCSN)
MLB: Mariners at Red Sox, 7:10 p.m. (NESN; WRKO)
MLB: Cubs at Cardinals, 7 p.m. (ESPN)
'¦ Another day, another controversy from Jets headquarters. Quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh (a former Patriots QB) talked to the New York Daily News about Mark Sanchez' inconsistent 2011 season and questioned Sanchez' "decision-making."
'There were turnovers that were not his fault that were credited to him,' Cavanaugh said. 'But there were enough that playing that position he needs to cut some of those down. Most of them came from just poor decision-making.
"So I spent a lot of time with him talking about 'Let's get focused on managing the game,' " Cavanaugh added. 'Taking the big plays when they're there [and] understanding that … even though it's drawn up to be a touchdown, not every play has to be a touchdown. Not every play has to be a completion. Sometimes throwing it away is a good thing. Sometimes taking a sack is better than throwing an interception.'
Cavanaugh suggested that the Jets' success the previous two seasons might have made is more difficult for Sanchez to be more introspective.
'Sometimes when you have quote-unquote the success that he had the first two years, maybe it doesn't hit home,' Cavanaugh said. 'Maybe it's like, 'Hey, I thought I was playing pretty good. Yeah, I threw some picks and some of them were bad decisions, but we still got to the AFC championship game.' [Last] year, I think he became much more aware [that] it's a fragile business.'
'¦ Metta World Peace is back after his seven-game suspension for elbowing Thunder guard James Harden in the head, but the controversial Laker already is stirring up trouble heading into Monday's Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against Oklahoma City.
World Peace said Saturday night, after a first-round Game 7 victory over the Nuggets, that he won't shake Harden's hand because, "I don't shake substitutes' hands." World Peace, who never apologized directly to Harden, went on to complain about some Thunder players' lack of pregame courtesy, mainly targeting former Celtic Kendrick Perkins.
"I've been playing against Kendrick forever," World Peace said. "Kendrick, he'll never shake your hand, so I'd have to go and find Kendrick and shake his hand. In Boston, every game I'd have to go to him and say, 'Hey,' and then tap him on the butt. He don't touch my hand. But I'm getting tired of making that walk."
'¦ Prior to Monday's Celtics game, Boston Mayor Tom Menino will announce the winning artist who will get to design the long-awaited Bill Russell statue planned for the city. In Beijing, they move much more quickly. Less than two months after leading the Beijing Ducks to their first Chinese Basketball Association championship, Marbury was on hand Sunday outside the team's MasterCard Center for the unveiling of a life-sized statue of the one-time Celtic.

Scores of people have taken part in the funeral procession for the assassinated Iraqi Shiite official who headed a committee tasked with rooting out those with ties to Saddam Hussein.
The casket of Ali al-Lami, wrapped in the Iraqi flag, was carried on Friday morning by his weeping relatives and friends from his home in Baghdad's eastern district of Sadr City. He was to be buried in the holy Shiite city of Najaf in the south.
A divisive figure in Iraqi politics, al-Lami had been accused of working with neighboring Shiite Iran to sideline Sunnis from power and re-ignite sectarian tensions.
He was fatally shot by gunmen while driving his car late Thursday - the latest victim of an assassination campaign across Iraq that has killed tens of political and governmental figures.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
BAGHDAD (AP) - The head of a committee tasked with rooting out Iraqis with ties to Saddam Hussein's deposed regime and who was once arrested for alleged ties to Shiite militias was shot to death late Thursday in Baghdad, officials said.
Ali al-Lami was a divisive figure in Iraqi politics who had close ties to neighboring Iran's Shiite Muslim government and was known for the vigor with which he tried to root out Saddam-era loyalists from all levels of Iraqi government. He also ran afoul of the U.S. after he was implicated in a bombing that killed Americans.
His role last year in trying to oust hundreds of Sunni candidates from running in the parliamentary election due to alleged ties to the Saddam regime fueled criticism that Iraqi Shiites, backed by Iran, were trying to sideline Sunnis from power and threatened to re-ignite sectarian tensions.
Now he has become the latest victim of an assassination campaign across Baghdad and Iraq that has resulted in the deaths of tens of Iraqi political and governmental figures.
The top military spokesman for Baghdad, Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, said gunmen opened fire and killed al-Lami as he was driving in his car in eastern Baghdad. His driver also died in the shooting, said two police officers.
Al-Lami racked up a long list of political enemies during his years on the Iraqi political scene. He was long suspected of having ties to Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah. He headed the Accountability and Justice Committee responsible tasked with vetting people trying to get government jobs or take political office for ties to Saddam Hussein's Baath Party, which ruled Iraq for decades.
During last year's parliamentary election, the committee tried to bar hundreds of candidates from taking part. Most were from the Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc, which went on to win the most seats in the election.
The top American military commander in Iraq at the time, Gen. Ray Odierno, said al-Lami and Ahmed Chalabi, also a committee member, were influenced by Iran and had attended meetings of the Shiite regime there.
One of the committee's targets was Saleh al-Mutlaq, who later became the deputy prime minister as part of lengthy negotiations to come up with a new government headed by Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Speaking from Jordan, al-Mutlaq said he was shocked and saddened by al-Lami's death.
"He is a human being, and he's an Iraqi. I know him personally," al-Mutlaq said, adding, "He was directed by the Iranian regime. He took orders."
The deputy prime minister said it was too early to tell who was responsible for his death, but said: "Thousands of people are living in very bad conditions because they were hurt by this organization," referring to the Accountability and Justice Committee.
For supporters and close friends of al-Lami, it was immediately clear who killed him. A spokesman for Chalabi said al-Lami was likely killed by Baath Party loyalists angry at his campaign against them.
"My first suspect would be the Baath party," said Entifadh Qanbar. "I'm very sure that the Baathists hold a very huge grudge against him. ... He got so many threats."
Al-Lami was arrested by U.S. and Iraqi forces in 2008 for suspected ties to Iranian-backed Shiite militias, and was accused by U.S. officials at the time of being involved in a bombing that killed eight people, including two American soldiers and two State Department employees.
His arrest reinforced suspicions about Tehran's influence within the Shiite-led Iraqi government.
Al-Lami's death came on the same day that followers of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr staged a huge rally designed as a dramatic show of strength against any move to allow American forces to stay in Iraq past their Dec. 31 deadline.
Under an agreement between Washington and Baghdad, the 46,000 troops still in Iraq must leave by Dec. 31. Iraq's widespread instability and still struggling security forces have led U.S. and Iraqi leaders to reconsider the deadline for the sake of the country's security.
U.S. officials have been pushing Iraq to decide whether it wants some American forces to remain, and al-Maliki has said he'll discuss it with the country's main political blocs.
But the throngs on the street in Sadr City, a slum in eastern Baghdad that is an al-Sadr stronghold, was a stark warning to al-Maliki about what he risks if U.S. forces stay longer.
Tens of thousands of Shiite militiamen belonging to al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia and other supporters marched through the streets. Although unarmed, their matching T-shirts and caps and marching in unison evoked the spirit of a military parade rather than a political rally.
"I am asking for the withdrawal of the occupation. I am ready to fight from this moment. I am ready to sacrifice. I am ready for death," said one marcher, 42-year-old Hussein Abu Lika.
The militia members waved Iraqi flags and shouted, "No, no, America!"
U.S., Israeli and British flags were painted on the pavement to be stomped on by the marching protesters, and Iraqi military helicopters buzzed overhead while soldiers stood guard.
Al-Sadr is one of the few, maybe only, Iraqi political leaders able to raise such a large crowd. Many of them are impoverished Shiites from southern Iraq and Baghdad who are drawn to his anti-American, nationalist rhetoric and his family's deep roots in Iraqi political and religious life.
But to many Iraqis, al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army are little more than thugs blamed for some of the worst of the sectarian attacks during the insurgency.

When loading a vehicle on a trailer, there are a few things that one should check first. One of the most important is to make sure the tow vehicle is either in park or the parking brake is engaged. Somebody forgot to tell Cletus and his buddy this as they were trying to load up their shiny new used Chevy pickup onto the back of a car trailer. I think you can see where this is going.
One guy watches as the other guy takes a run at the trailer ramps, in the pickup that is also loaded full of used tires. Once the front wheels hit the trailer, all hell breaks loose as the truck and trailer make a run for the border. The whole mess comes to a stop pretty quickly when the truck turns and the trailer jack knifes.

Meanwhile in Canada: Parasledding is invented
If there is one sport that Canadians love almost as much as hockey, it is sledding. For many Canucks, getting out on the trail or blasting across a frozen lake is the thrill of a lifetime. For others, even a good ride isn't quite enough of a thrill. BC man Eric Oddy is one of those guys.
Oddy mounted a paraglider to his snow machine just to see what happened. The results are pretty spectacular and it isn't much of a stretch to think that parasledding is going to become the next trend in outdoor winter sports.

High Frequency of and Factors Associated with Thyroid Hormone Over-replacement and Under-replacement in Men and Women Aged 65 and Over The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Role of Magmas in Protein Transport and Human Mitochondria Biogenesis Human Molecular Genetics. Apr, 2010 | Pubmed ID: 20053669 Magmas, a conserved mammalian protein essential for eukaryotic development, is overexpressed in prostate carcinomas and cells exposed to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Reduced Magmas expression resulted in decreased proliferative rates in cultured cells. However, the cellular function of Magmas is still elusive. In this report, we have showed that human Magmas is an ortholog of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pam16 having similar functions and is critical for protein translocation across mitochondrial inner membrane. Human Magmas shows a complete growth complementation of Deltapam16 yeast cells at all temperatures. On the basis of our analysis, we report that Magmas localizes into mitochondria and is peripherally associated with inner mitochondrial membrane in yeast and humans. Magmas forms a stable subcomplex with J-protein Pam18 or DnaJC19 through its C-terminal region and is tethered to TIM23 complex of yeast and humans. Importantly, amino acid alterations in Magmas leads to reduced stability of the subcomplex with Pam18 that results in temperature sensitivity and in vivo protein translocation defects in yeast cells. These observations highlight the central role of Magmas in protein import and mitochondria biogenesis. In humans, absence of a functional DnaJC19 leads to dilated cardiac myophathic syndrome (DCM), a genetic disorder with characteristic features of cardiac myophathy and neurodegeneration. We propose that the mutations resulting in decreased stability of functional Magmas:DnaJC19 subcomplex at human TIM23 channel leads to impaired protein import and cellular respiration in DCM patients. Together, we propose a model showing how Magmas:DnaJC19 subcomplex is associated with TIM23 complex and thus regulates mitochondrial import process.
Omental Cyst Presenting As Tubercular Ascites Journal of Infection in Developing Countries. Mar, 2010 | Pubmed ID: 20351462 Cystic lymphangiomas are uncommon congenital benign tumours of vascular origin with a lymphatic differentiation originating across various anatomical locations. Large intrabdominal cysts may mimic ascites. We report the case of a one-and-a-half-year-old male child with a giant cystic lymphangioma originating in the greater omentum presenting as tubercular ascites. This report aims to highlight the limitations of biochemical investigations such as ascitic adenosine deaminase (ADA) in differentiating the epidemiologically prevalent tubercular ascites from an intrabdominal cyst, especially in a resource-poor nation as ours, where invasive diagnostic procedures pose an economic burden.
Isolation of Genomic DNA from Medicinal Plants Without Liquid Nitrogen Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. Jun, 2010 | Pubmed ID: 20882764 Genomic DNA was extracted from eight medicinal plants using the present DNA extraction protocols (CTAB extraction method) with some modifications. Leaves were fixed in different fixing solutions containing absolute alcohol (99.99%), chloroform and EDTA, but without liquid nitrogen. DNA quality and quantity obtained were comparable to those isolated with liquid nitrogen, as the lambda260/lambda280 ratio with liquid nitrogen was in range 1.3-1.7 and with other fixing solutions it was 1.1-1.5. Absolute alcohol showed best results as fixing solution. Good quality of DNA was isolated without using liquid nitrogen from different medicinal plant species. DNA isolated by this method was suitable for various molecular biology applications.

Assessing Algorithms for Defining Vascular Architecture in Subharmonic Images of Breast Lesions Physics in Medicine and Biology. Feb, 2011 | Pubmed ID: 21248388 The ability to accurately and non-invasively characterize breast lesions and their vasculature would greatly limit the number of unneeded biopsies performed annually. Subharmonic ultrasound imaging (SHI) allows exclusive imaging of vasculature in real time, while completely suppressing tissue signals. Previously, cumulative maximum intensity (CMI) projections of SHI data were shown to be useful for characterization, but lacked means of quantification. In this study we investigate three potential thinning algorithms for defining breast lesion architecture. Sequential thinning, parallel thinning, and distance transformation algorithms were compared using 40 in vitro test images. Sequential thinning was selected due to superior connectivity, minimal rotational variance, and sufficient data reduction. This algorithm was then applied to 16 CMI SHI images of breast lesions, out of which 13 were successfully skeletonized. Average bifurcations were 9.8 ± 8.18 and 6.9 ± 6.50 in malignant and benign lesions, respectively (p > 0.60). Average vessel-chain length was 88.9 ± 79.10 pixels versus 63.2 ± 45.65 pixels in malignant versus benign lesions (p > 0.40). While the sequential thinning algorithm was promising for quantifying breast vasculature, its ability to significantly differentiate between malignant and benign lesions in this study was limited by a high degree of variability and limited sample size.
Spinal Epidural Abscess with Myelitis and Meningitis Caused by Streptococcus Pneumoniae in a Young Child The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine. 2011 | Pubmed ID: 21756576 Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) in children is a rare infectious emergency warranting prompt intervention. Predisposing factors include immunosuppression, spinal procedures, and local site infections such as vertebral osteomyelitis and paraspinal abscess. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common isolate.
Congenital Acute Megakaryocytic Leukemia Indian Journal of Medical and Paediatric Oncology : Official Journal of Indian Society of Medical & Paediatric Oncology. Jul, 2011 | Pubmed ID: 22557786 Congenital leukemia (CL) is an extremely rare disorder in the newborn, significant proportion of which is of myeloid origin, primarily of M4 or M5 morphology. As compared to pediatric leukemia, CL is a more aggressive disease. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M7) or acute megakaryocytic leukemia is a rare type of AML with an incidence of 0.5 per million per year. Median age of presentation is 6 years, and children may present with a broad variety of symptoms including low-grade fever, diarrhea, easy bruising, failure to gain weight and life-threatening conditions.
Adjuvant Properties of Thermal Component of Hyperthermia Enhanced Transdermal Immunization: Effect on Dendritic Cells PloS One. 2012 | Pubmed ID: 22363798 Hyperthermia enhanced transdermal (HET) immunization is a novel needle free immunization strategy employing application of antigen along with mild local hyperthermia (42°C) to intact skin resulting in detectable antigen specific Ig in serum. In the present study, we investigated the adjuvant effect of thermal component of HET immunization in terms of maturation of dendritic cells and its implication on the quality of the immune outcome in terms of antibody production upon HET immunization with tetanus toxoid (TT). We have shown that in vitro hyperthermia exposure at 42°C for 30 minutes up regulates the surface expression of maturation markers on bone marrow derived DCs. This observation correlated in vivo with an increased and accelerated expression of maturation markers on DCs in the draining lymph node upon HET immunization in mice. This effect was found to be independent of the antigen delivered and depends only on the thermal component of HET immunization. In vitro hyperthermia also led to enhanced capacity to stimulate CD4+ T cells in allo MLR and promotes the secretion of IL-10 by BMDCs, suggesting a potential for Th2 skewing of T cell response. HET immunization also induced a systemic T cell response to TT, as suggested by proliferation of splenocytes from immunized animal upon in vitro stimulation by TT. Exposure to heat during primary immunization led to generation of mainly IgG class of antibodies upon boosting, similar to the use of conventional alum adjuvant, thus highlighting the adjuvant potential of heat during HET immunization. Lastly, we have shown that mice immunized by tetanus toxoid using HET route exhibited protection against challenge with a lethal dose of tetanus toxin. Thus, in addition to being a painless, needle free delivery system it also has an immune modulatory potential.

Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara hit it off in prison, where they were both doing time for grand theft auto. Now that they're out, they're joining forces for one big score. The plan is to kidnap the wife of a wealthy Detroit developer and hold her for ransom. But they didn't figure the lowlife husband wouldn't want his lady back. So it's time for Plan B and the opportunity to make a real killing - with the unlikely help of a beautiful, ticked-off housewife who's hungry for a large helping of sweet revenge.
©1978 Elmore Leonard (P)1997 Recorded Books Inc.
"Trick or treat, Mama!"
A solid early Leonard Detroit crime novel with all the usual Leonard suspects. Filled with great dialogue, fantastic characters, it sets the reader up well for each of Leonard's funky plot twists. More than anything, this novel is a modern-day "awakening" of the female protagonist/victim. She moves from being a passive victim/wife to being an agent in her own new destiny; from being a scene in her own life to being the principal actor. That arc alone makes this novel worth it.
There is always a slight Karmic vibe to the Leonard novels I've read. It isn't just a simple equation of crime ≠ pay. No. Leonard isn't that trite. But stupidity, arrogance, selfishness, laziness and wickedness are all given the proper time and fertilizer to bloom and decay in the short 200 pages of his hardboiled garden.
"Inept criminals in a madcap caper"
A friend of mine told me about Elmore Leonard, so I decided to give him a try. Now I wonder what took me so long! His use of dialog was excellent and his characters well rounded. I have heard his endings were weak, but I thought this one was great. You don't really know the whole story until the last sentence, like a touché in fencing. I loved it, although I can see where some people would have found it rather abrupt.
A little about the plot: Louis Gara and Ordell Robbie met in prison and became quick friends. When Louis got out from another stint in jail, he went to Detroit to stay with his old friend. Ordell had been busy putting a can't miss scam together. The plan included kidnapping Mickey Dawson, a crooked land developer's wife, and holding her for a 1 million dollar ransom. Frank Dawson couldn't go to the police because he was hiding money in an off shore bank account. Add in a Neo-Nazi ex-security guard, a mistress on the side, and a hostage reluctant to return to her previous life, and what you get is an on-the-fly 'switch' in plans.
A very enjoyable read! I will definitely put more Elmore Leonard on my 'to read' list.
"Fun short book; enjoyed the read but a B"
Enjoyed the listen
yes, I like Elmore Leonard but he has written so much over such a long career that some are just better than others
The ending
Worth the time
This may be a phenomenal book, but I couldn't get past this narration. This may quite possibly be the worst narration in history. Its almost as if the reader has a speech impediment. Its awful and I wish I could return it and get my credit back.
"Very good, but........"
..........look, you know that Elmore Leonard is one of the best, if not the best, story tellers of all time. In addition, his books are perfect for audible. But, the narrator was okay but not great. What I did not like was the ending. Then again you may think it is a great ending. Anyway, take the time to listen to this book, it's worth the time.
"Expected more.."
Story was too slow, with way too much add on material, and the narrator read it way to calmly. It about put me to sleep a few times. I love Elmore Leonard's work, but the narrator made this super boring and hard to get thru unfortunately
"Imported from the D"
Great Story will be reading more from the same author.
Story takes place when the get decline began in Detroit, I remember the sights and feeling of the city the author conveys throughout the storyline.
"Annoying reader"
Not Leonard's best, but this story was read so poorly It was hard not just give up on the book. Like most Leonard's stories, this one is fun with good characters and exiting plot.I will skip anything read by Mark Hammer in the future

Danny, it's HOPE Solo, not HAN Solo.
Danny explains our pre-show rituals. For example, when he bursts into Mike Jones's studio each morning, Danny greets Mike and Mike tells him the time. That's because Mike's new computer arrangement blocks the clock Danny is used to seeing, and he needs to know how much time he has left until the show starts. Danny also points out Will's odd habit of keeping the speakers in the control room at a low volume, which today startles Danny when he puts on his headphones to find the show has already started. In other developments, Danny saw "Rent" last night, which prompts him to again consider the prospect of resuming his acting career on the stage.
The opening ceremony for the Olympics has us thinking about beautiful Olympians past and present, in particular, Bart Conner, Nadia Comaneci, and Hope Solo. Danny tries to convince us that he has never said he thought Hope Solo was hot, and we swiftly disabuse him of this notion. The fact the she was conceived in prison, which we learned in Sarah's news, only makes her seem that much hotter to Danny, though he continues to confuse her name with that of a certain character from "Star Wars."
Danny Bonaduce, Life Coach, counsels a woman who loaned money to a co-worker who has refused to pay her back and is now lying about it and causing problems with their boss.
The public squabble between members of the Jackson family has us wondering: What was the most embarrassing public spat you ever had? His dad once stabbed Danny's brother so hard with a fork in the middle of a crowded restaurant that it got stuck in his chest.
All this, and the game that's sweeping the nation, Where Has Sarah's Beaver Been, on today's Danny Bonaduce Show.

Carol Award: Mystery: Winner: The Camera Never Lies
Title: The Camera Never Lies
Author: Elizabeth Goddard
Publisher: Barbour Publishing (Rebecca Germany, Editor)
Category: Mystery
Reviewed by: Lena Nelson Dooley
Photographer Polly Perkins is hired to photograph a friend's wedding and finds a love interest, a murder victim, and an ability to read expressions that may help her stop another murder.
I had to keep reading just to see how it would turn out.
I love to read all kinds of mysteries and suspense novels, and this cozy mystery is no exception. Elizabeth Goddard created a whole cast of quirky characters and dropped them into a resort near a national park in Oregon. The setting lends itself to the development of the mystery, and the heroine's profession, photography, enhances the mysterious elements of the plot.
Goddard puts in plenty of red herrings and possible suspects, intermingled with an equal number of motives for the murder. I had to keep reading just to see how it would turn out.
Along the way, her heroine meets the love of her life. Of course, that's not essential to a good mystery, but I like all the fiction books I read to have a romantic element. Goddard doesn't disappoint in that department either.
I was happy for Goddard when I learned her mystery is a Carol Award winner. I recommend you read it for yourself and see why.

text: The Associated Press reports that some 2,000 movers and shakers in the fashion world descended upon Paris's Centre Pompidou on Tuesday for the grand farewell of gay fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, whose final show included both a new collection and a career retrospective. The 65-year-old designer, who announced his retirement two weeks ago, told Le Monde, "We live in a world of disorder and decadence. This struggle for elegance and beauty caused me much distress. I no longer felt part of the world." While Saint Laurent's house of haute couture is no more, his name will remain visible: In 1999 he sold the rights to his label--including the ready-to-wear Rive Gauche collection, perfumes, cosmetics, and accessories--to Gucci Group NV for $70 million cash plus royalties. Out American designer Tom Ford has since been in charge of the ready-to-wear collection, fragrances, and cosmetics.
