A completed look for a living room and dining room
February 13, 2013 in Design Dilemma
I don't know what to do to tie these two rooms together but I know I want the end result to have an old world feel. My dining room is shaker style but the living room is classic design. The walls are beige and the trim is dark brown. I would like to do something that still gives some light to the room
Here's some inspiration for you...

Thank you for the inspiration. It is kinda where I am going. We moved into a from a smaller house with separated rooms so nothing really matched. In the new house it really feels empty. I like the layout of the first picture.

I would move your sofas a little closer together. They seem like they are too far apart. Also, I would add drapery panels to all the windows. I would swap out the chandelier in dining room and choose a different ceiling light fixture for the family room - the one that you have installed is too small for the room.
t. Why don't you look for a rug for the living room with deco style and colour. This would give you the old world feeling. There's no contrast (that I can see) between your floor and the walls and tha rug will help provide punch and definition. Red is good, as it's warm and was used a lot in the deco period. Perhaps you could remove the four mirrors surrounding the television as they are not really reflecting anything that enhances the room. Again, you could look for some deco accents to put up on the wall instead. I agree with the change in the light fixture. The two above are both lovely choices. To tie the dining room in you could reupholster the chairs or put a cloth on the table or a runner. Your window coverings are nice but they don't give you an old world feel. Floor to ceiling panels would be the way to go.
LizaJane thanks for the suggestion. I do have new new ceiling fan for the Livingroom waiting for the hubby to install. He did the one upstairs and quit. Here's a look

Oneofeleven, I don't like the mirrors either. That's a temporary stall to stop anyone else from buying anything to put there. The problem is I don't know what to put there. I didn't even want a tv in that space. I have a lot of art that I purchased traveling that I feel nothing i have will fit the space. Any suggestions especially on the windows.

I'm not the best person to suggest window treatments but I think you should address them first before you decide on what to put on the fireplace wall. How about some simple floor to ceiling panels You could tie them in (colour wise) with an area rug and some sofa pillows. . If you did that you probably won't want much on the wall as the curtains will take up some of that spacel. I think that your Balinese pictures would look nice on either side of the television ( assuming it has to stay) .The old world look often includes accessories from "around the world" so you may have other pieces of art you can use. I love the other piece of art as well, although I agree it's probably not suited to your livingroom. Kitchen maybe?

One of the most unique complexes a flea market enthusiast must have! Contact us today to learn more about what we offer!
The largest flea market in Northwest Arkansas with inside and outside sales.
Call (479) 239 - 0097 for our special offers!
Enjoy All That The Rogers Flea Market Has To Offer
Flea Markets are a popular attraction and are held across the globe. Known as 'Boot Fairs' in the UK, 'Swap Meets' in the U.S. and 'Trash and Treasure' markets in Australia, the flea market is a large gathering of individually-owned stalls selling used or cheap household items.
Your typical Flea Market sells everything from used household appliances to clothing, jewelry, musical instruments, toys and sports goods. Most have some kind of main feature to attract people, such as a small band stage, a petting zoo or pony rides. Food is sold by street vendors and consists of everything from home cooking by local moms to commercially-sold hot dogs and burgers, ice-cream and candy.
Most towns have more than one flea market, and it is often worth shopping around to experience each individual market before choosing your favorite. As a rule of thumb, the more upscale the neighborhood, the better the 'pickings' at the flea markets nearby, so be prepared to travel to your neighboring towns to sample their markets and find the very best bargains.
In order to find your local flea market, check your local newspaper or go online to locally-based ad sites such as Craigslist. Most towns and cities have a flea market hosted weekly or monthly. They usually start early in the morning so be prepared to show up earlier to get first choice of the items on offer. Some of the more popular markets such as Roger's Flea Market are permanent fixtures and include stalls set up by local businesses and eateries.
Flea Markets vary in size from a half dozen stalls to a few thousand. At Roger's Flea Market, for instance, you'll find over 1600 vendors selling everything from toys and games to fresh fruit and antiques. A fun feature of Rogers is their live auctions which happen every Friday. You can also get excellent homemade food prepared at their very own restaurant.
Whatever the weather, a flea market is a fun day out for all the family.

Weeknote 215-217
Before this turns into month notes i guess i should rip out a quick bit of prose. These past few weeks have been dedicated to bringing in new projects after finishing some big'uns. Luckily thats been turning out well. Starting next week were mostly busy again for the coming months. With perhaps some exceptions for small projects and front-end work, for which we still have some capacity.
Next week will be the third for our new intern Laurens. He's studying computer science at the Haagse Hogeschool and turned out to be quite the spirited young fellow. We've put him to work on some tools for our fresh.li service but i wouldn't be surprised to find him working on other projects too in a few more weeks. Like me he has a special fondness for side projects and might be one of the few interns i know who actually hired an intern himself to help him manage the weekly (!) dance events he organizes in The Hague (among other things apparently). Either way, the other co-workers seem to like him so he'll do fine.
I've created a badge-monster by introducing Suzanne to Foursquare. Culminating in a mad rush to get the Warhol badge during past fridays Hoogtij rondgang. A pretty neat event at which you can tour a whole bunch of The Hague galleries during a single evening. For which, incidentally, Sylvia (our Automatique web designer) created the map that helped people find their way, and a temporary website while we wait for their current webmaster to return from foreign lands.
My intention to do more interaction design seems to have been magically picked up by clients with some work coming in to do both experience design for an upcoming live event and the wireframes for a new web project. Neither of which i can say anything about yet. Maybe i should come up with cool code names for them… i think i'll go for project Harrow and project Cauldron.
I can already lift the veil on next weeks weeknote a bit since coming friday we'll be hosting another awesome /dev/haag meetup. The organizing took a lot less effort this time round with presenters quickly found and people signing up without much prodding at all. The line-up is once again looking great with Peter-Paul Koch of Quirksmode fame taking on the 'keynote' dubbed "The Future of the Mobile Web" followed by Marise Schot on designing for Happiness, Beer van Geer on brain-machine interfaces and Niek Kramer on the generated architecture flowing from his 3D printer. I personally think you'll have fun when you come. And if you'd like to present too, get in touch, i think we can manage one or two more presentations.

I just did strips and blocks with some embroidery. It was nice and simple. Perhaps consider simpler less busy fabrics. I like this quilt, but my fabric choices could have been a bit better.

The grocery store has so many choices often stamped with a matrix of certifications carrying with it the justification for a higher price. It can be time consuming and burdensome to figure out what to buy from your local grocery store if you don't have a framework that you use to select products. Below I compiled my priorities when purchasing food.
The CrossFit Tustin Difference
We strive to break away from the current, flawed fitness model and marketing deception that is so prevalent in the industry today characterized by quick fix pills, cheap gimmick machines and over-hyped DVDs. We believe that true health and fitness cannot be found in magazines who prop up their headlines and ads with air brushed images and starving models.
Simply put, CrossFit Tustin is and will be fueled by trainers and members that value community and hard work. We offer our clients the motivation, means and support to realize their full potential while surpassing previous limitations and personal goals.
We are not in the business of quick fixes or superficial changes, our pursuit is the total transformation of lifestyle and overall health. No gimmicks, frills or false promises, PERIOD.

More than 50 years into a television career that has won him a Peabody Award,
the Kennedy Centers Mark Twain Award for American Humor and a spot in the TV
Academy's Hall of Fame, Bob Newhart has won his first Emmy
Bing: Carol Burnett to
receive comedy honor
Newhart was named Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series at the Creative
Arts Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday evening for his performance in "The Big
Bang Theory" as a scientist who isn't taken seriously because he appears on
The win came with only his seventh nomination; shockingly, he was never
even nominated for "The Bob Newhart Show," his classic sitcom that ran for six
seasons between 1972 and 1978.
Also from TheWrap: Creative Arts Emmy Awards: The Winner List
"I just got tired of being passed over, so I didn't submit myself anymore, so
I didn't have to go through the agony of defeat," Newhart told TheWrap of that show.
"And I could say to myself, I would have won if I put my name in."
"What I do doesn't get awards. Being a standup comic, people see it as just
Bob being Bob. You don't give an award to Bob for being Bob."
Over the years, Newhart was nominated for his 1961-62 variety series, also
called "The Bob Newhart Show;" for his 80's sitcom "Newhart;" for his serious
guest role on "ER"; and for the TV movie "The Librarian: Curse of the Judas
He told TheWrap that he plans to return to "The Big Bang Theory" next
So glad to hear that Bob Newhart finally won an Emmy. Loved his series - so funny, showing you didn't need swearing to make a show good. Loved him on the Big Bang and so happy he will be returning. He's one of the "good guys."
John Oliver talks about hosting The Daily Show this past year.

Amazing geekcraft of the day: Turning lighters into tiny motorcycles
You know those really cheap plastic lighters that everyone hates because they only work half the time? Those apparently are the perfect lighters to take apart (once they're empty of course) and turn into tiny little motorcycles. It's an ancient Chinese secret.
You can check out the original Chinese site that posted this here and maybe Google Translate might help you out a bit.

Even as U.S. Hispanics fight to gain access to academia, universities and colleges are being challenged to reach out to the Hispanic community to achieve their diversity goals. Some of these schools have higher goals than others. To some, achieving diversity is about more than talk, it is about taking action. Some are aggressive, creative, and highly successful in their outreach to Hispanics. Each year, we celebrate these schools and their mission in our September issue. These are among the most progressive and laudable institutions of higher learning in the world.
The Tomás Rivera Policy Institute recently pointed out that professional programs in universities and colleges, such as the ones we have listed in the following pages, "prepare elite leaderships at both the state and nationals levels across a multitude of sectors." The Center's reported added, "If we are to eradicate racial, economic and social disparities in America, it is imperative to have effective participation in our universities."
But, which schools offer the most to Hispanics? Which ones are at the forefront of recruiting, retaining, and offering quality higher education?
To answer these questions, HispanTelligence, the research arm of Hispanic Business Inc., annually assess the nation's top universities for Hispanics in the fields of medicine, engineering, business, and law. From these institutions will come the country's future entrepreneurs, scientists, doctors, and political leaders.
Critical Mass
The best schools for Hispanics -- the ones that nourish young minds and transform them into probing thinkers, innovative entrepreneurs, and successful leaders -- are often in regions where the Hispanic population has a powerful presence.
Of the 40 schools on our four Top 10 lists, 31 are in Arizona, California, Florida, New Mexico, New York, and Texas. One quarter of all schools on the lists are part of the University of Texas network.
The size of the Hispanic enrollment was one of the factors in assessing the graduate and professional schools.
As numbers increase, the sheer quantity of Hispanic students can turn into a "critical mass," says Shelli Soto, dean of admissions at Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law. Along with that critical mass, law schools need professors and programs that address legal issues of concern to U.S. Hispanics, and the third ingredient to that mix should be a powerful and active Hispanic professional community. Once that occurs, the university becomes a very vibrant learning environment, Ms. Soto said.
The College of Law at ASU, which is number two on our list of Top 10 law schools, boasts a large enrollment of Hispanics. Eighty out of 595 law students, or 13 percent, are Hispanic. Those numbers are eclipsed, however, by the 102 budding lawyers at University of New Mexico (UNM), the list's leading school of law, who account for an impressive 29 percent of the school's student body.
By The Numbers
The percentage of Hispanic students in our elite schools lists ranges from two percent at Purdue University's College of Engineering, to 80 percent at University of Texas at El Paso's School of Business.
The University of New Mexico consistently enrolls high numbers of Hispanics, who make up 28 percent of the School of Medicine, 40 percent of the School of Engineering, and 29 percent of the School of Law. The percentage of Hispanic students in the top schools ranges from 10 to 20 percent. The largest number of Hispanic students overall is 211 at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law, which is number seven on the list.
According to Georgia Institute of Technology's Hispanic Initiative director, Jorge Breton, sheer numbers can be extremely important in creating what he called a "Hispanic friendly" campus. "Having a significant amount of minority students enrolled in an institution really improves the chances of minority students successfully obtaining a college degree," he said.
He added that the presence of a community of Hispanic undergraduate and graduate students, along with professors, assures students that they belong on that campus, rightfully pursuing a higher education. Georgia ranked No. 1 on the list of Top 10 Engineering Schools for Hispanics.
The Power Of Student Organizations
Each of the schools on this magazine's Top 10 list is notable for its rich array of Hispanic professional student associations. For example, the University of Texas at Austin hosts two active organizations assisting students called the Hispanic Graduate Business Association and Mexican Business Association.
It is these associations, says Prof. Charles Calleros of Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, which catalyze the community of Hispanic scholars. Prof. Calleros, who is actively involved in numerous outreach and mentoring efforts at the school, praised the associations' "vibrancy."
"I could brag about the faculty and staff," he said, "but it's actually the students themselves that make this a good place for Latinos. They have pro bono programs, academic support committees, and recruitment committees. They usually send a team to the National Hispanic Bar Association's moot court."
Schools With A Mission
Looking at the universities on our Top 10 lists reveals two distinct groups. The first are professional schools at state universities that embrace a mission of serving their state populations, the second are elite national universities that see themselves as serving not particular states but the nation or even the world.
Dr. Byron Cryer, associate dean of minority student affairs at the University of Texas at Dallas School of Medicine, which heads the list of medical schools, offered insight into how a state university understands its social mission and how that mission enhances its schools' diversity achievements.
"Probably the largest issue that drives our push for diversity is that we are a state school that represents the interests of Texas," he said. "And we in Texas have a population that is increasingly more diverse, particularly for Hispanics." His school recognizes a critical need to augment the supply of doctors serving that rising population.
Dr. Cryer said having Hispanic doctors treat Hispanic patients increases the likelihood that the patients will seek help in the first place and then understand and act on their prescribed medical treatment. "For about 10 years, we've targeted applicants who have an interest in providing service to medically underserved communities."
The school has found that Hispanic applicants are interested in serving those populations. Many graduates have already established medical practices in those communities. These newly minted doctors, Dr. Cryer said, "have done quite well."
Other schools, typically located in states with large Hispanic populations, also acknowledge a mission to serve local community needs and consequently enhance diversity. "Because we are the only law school in a relatively poor state, there is a sense that (we) have to meet the needs of New Mexico," said Mark Feldman, dean of students services at UNM's Law School.
Elite National Schools
To a certain extent, top-tier national schools, like Stanford University Graduate School of Business, have a contrasting approach to diversity and a different sense of mission. Stanford, which combines rigorous business training with a recognition of the need for diversity, grabbed the No. 2 spot on this year's Top 10 list of Business Schools.
Stanford understands diversity as the need to recognize and work with an expanding array of cultural differences in today's global economy. About one third of the MBA class comes from other countries, including Chile, Mexico, Japan, and European nations, which Communications Director Barbara Buell said gives Stanford an added boost of diversity.
In the MBA program, she said, "you want your entering class to be as diverse a group of people as possible. You want a Los Angeles Hispanic interfacing with someone from Beijing or from the south of France."
According to Ms. Buell, such a diversity of perspectives enriches the problem-solving capacity of organizations and is a fact of life in today's business world. Stanford's sense of mission emphasizes serving not a particular community or state, but corporate America in general.
Despite differences in size, geographical locale, and sense of mission, the schools leading the Hispanic Business Top Ten lists this year not only recognize that importance of diversity, they are action models for making it happen.

Top Universities Strive for 'Critical Mass'
Richard Kaplan--Associate Editor, Hispanic Business Magazine
Even as U.S. Hispanics fight to gain access to academia, universities and colleges are being challenged to reach out to the Hispanic community to achieve their diversity goals. Some of these schools have higher goals than others. To some, achieving diversity is about more than talk, it is about taking action. Some are aggressive, creative, and highly successful in their outreach to Hispanics. Each year, we celebrate these schools and their mission in our September issue. These are among the most progressive and laudable institutions of higher learning in the world.

Found November 06, 2012 on NBA Injury News:
PLAYERS: Shawn Marion
TEAMS: Dallas Mavericks, Portland Trail Blazers, Phoenix Suns
TEAMS: Dallas Mavericks, Portland Trail Blazers, Phoenix Suns
The Dallas Mavericks are already without their best player due to a knee injury, now they could be without one of their role players. Shawn Marion had to leave last night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He came down awkwardly on his knee after 24 minutes of play and had to leave the game.According to Tim MacMahon of ESPN Dallas, Marion will be evaluated further today. At this point the extent of the injury is not known. Marion was able to at least return to the bench after initially being checked out by trainers in the locker room.Marion is in his fourth season with the Mavericks. He was a stand-out player for the Phoenix Suns for a while, but he has bounced around the league a bit before landing with Dallas. This is his 14th year in the league after being drafted by the Suns ninth overall in 1999.In his career, Marion has averaged 16.4 points per game and 9.2 rebounds. He is a key player, and one that continues to contribute at the age of 34. With Nowitzki already injured, every other player on the team has to step up. If the team is without Marion as well, it will get increasingly difficult for the Mavericks to stay afloat. Currently, Dallas is 3-1. It's a good record, but if the rest of the team does not stay healthy, it's unlikely they can maintain this pace. For now, fans, Marion, and the team can only hope the knee injury is not severe and nothing more than a minor sprain.

This dish turned out to be extremely tasty and filling. However it was more like a curry rather than a stew. I added a dash of lemon and this really gave it a tangy zing. Also added some chillies to spice it up a bit and make it more Indian.
Indian Chickpea-and-Vegetable Stew
GlenGerson Posted: 11/23/13
calteri Posted: 07/02/14
This smelled so good, but was so tasteless. I'm not a vegetarian, so if I try it again I'll substitute chicken broth for the vegetable broth and add little bits of chicken. I think that would greatly improve it. Also, the vegeatles took so much longer to cook than stated that dinner was quite late.

Featured Articles
2010 Guide Analysis: Finally getting a theatrical release in the US next month, this $15 million indie road movie remakes the Japanese 1977 original and transports the setting to post-Katrina Louisiana. Playing festivals in 2008 and released in several international territories last year, reviews were generally good with performances from William Hurt and Eddie Redmayne in particular scoring good notices.
Indian helmer Udayan Prasad ("Opa!," "Gabriel and Me") directs the film which is very much an indie arthouse work - little in the way of plot, long poignant moments and plenty of time spent just letting the actors play out scenes as their apparently quite fleshed out characters. The drawn out tone and glacial pacing scored the most criticism and will likely keep most mainstream audiences away. Sounds like a DVD rental for a lazy afternoon.

Beautiful combination of orange and cherry flavor, and the crepe recipe was great and the easiest I've made -- I got exactly 13 as the recipe said, although I had to use butter to keep them from sticking on my non-teflon non-stick pans. Also, I used all reduced-fat cream cheese instead of a combination of reduced fat and fat-free. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I'd have preferred ricotta cheese to cream cheese, but then I don't like cheesecake. For cheesecake fans, I think this is an easy 5 stars.

Sunday night is a big awards show night across North America. In Canada, it's the Juno Awards, which are the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys, while in the U.S., it's the Academy of Country Music Awards, airing live from Las Vegas on CBS.
At the Juno Awards, Nickelback, Avril Lavigne, Justin Bieber and Drake are among the nominees. Nickelback have a leading four nods, including Album of the Year for Here and Now, and Single of the Year for "When We Stand Together." The band will also perform on the show.
Avril is up for Album of the Year as well, for G
oodbye Lullaby,
while Drake and Justin have also earned nods in that category for, respectively,
Take Care
Under the Mistletoe.
Michael Buble
is among this year's top nominees
with three nods, but he won't actually be attending; neither will Justin, for that matter.
Justin, Avril, Drake and Nickelback are also up for the Juno Fan Choice Award. In the International Album of the Year category, Adele's 21 will compete against Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto, Lady Gaga's Born This Way , Rihanna's Loud and LMFAO's Sorry for Party Rocking.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift, the Band Perry, Lady Antebellum, The Voice coach Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson , among others, will all be competing for trophies at the Academy of Country Awards show Sunday night. Among the performers is Train's Pat Monahan, who'll be duetting with Martina McBride on Train's song "Marry Me" as an actual couple gets married onstage, live.
Taylor Swift will have a special man on her arm as her date for the event: eighteen-year-old Kevin McGuire , who's been battling leukemia and is now in remission. He initially reached out to Taylor online to invite her to his prom; instead, Taylor responded with an invite to be her escort to the ACMs.

A free 8,800 word ebook
Lara Adrian, LLC
Available December 20, 2012
First published in 2010 as part of the Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance 2.
** NOTE: This original short story is not part of the Midnight Breed world. **
In a dark, post-apocalyptic world, a tough mercenary known as Nisha the Heartless is hired to transport mysterious cargo arrived from exotic New Asia to a well-paying client. But things are never what they seem in a dark world now populated by humans and the Strange: shapeshifters and telepaths, nymphs and hobgoblins. It is a lesson Nisha learns all too soon--one that puts her on a journey with a dangerously sexy, enigmatic man who will force her to confront the nightmares of her past, and risk her heart for a future she never dreamed could be hers....
People are strange.
A twentieth-century philosopher once said that, or so I've been told. As I drove my rig through the rain and sludge toward the docks in Port Phoenix, I couldn't help thinking how apt the observation was. Especially now, some three hundred years after Earth hiccupped on its axis in 2066 and brought about all manner of changes to the world mankind once knew.
The waters rose in many places; vanished in others. Land masses shifted, ripped apart by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, or drowned by mudslides several stories deep. Once-great cities toppled, technology and infrastructure swept away overnight.
Kingdoms and governments, corporations and institutions were all rendered impotent with the sudden, irreparable, global financial crash. Survivors of the planet's changes--a population estimated to be only in the tens of millions--fled across borders that no longer existed to rebuild their lives and form new communities.
And, after some long millennia of hiding, living in the safety of the shadows, a small number of other survivors came out of the dust and rubble of this altered new world.
They are the Strange.
Shapeshifters and telepaths, nymphs and hobgoblins.
Goddamned freaks of nature, I thought to myself as I rolled to a stop at the dockyard entrance and glanced through the box-truck's window at a pair of gray-skinned gargoyles squatting atop the tall pillars of the gate. I stared for a long moment, if only to let them know that I had no fear of them. The disdain between the Strange and me is well-known, and definitely mutual. As I rolled down the glass, one of the hideous creatures perched overhead sneered down at me through the dark and drizzle of the cold summer night.
"Nisha the Merc," he hissed, obviously recognizing me while I reached out and pulled the rope on a copper bell, then waited for the guard on duty to come over and let me inside. Above me, the beast crouched lower, dropping his voice to a gravelly whisper. "Nisha, the cold-hearted bitch."
Amused, the other gargoyle chuckled quietly and shifted on his taloned feet, rattling the heavy iron manacles that ensured he and his companion remained at their posts. Even if they weren't shackled in place, these two Strange beasts couldn't touch me and they knew it. Harming a human was punishable by death.
But they could hate me.
They could despise that I made my living as a mercenary, although I've always preferred to think of myself as a facilitator. Generally speaking--and for the right price--I was a problem-solver. When something needed to get done quickly and quietly, no questions asked, folks with the money and the means usually turned to me to make it happen.
Tonight's job was no different. I had been hired to pick up and transport a cargo shipment for someone who preferred to keep his business at the seedy Port Phoenix dockyard confidential. Not that any of the lowlife humans working the yard, or the even lowlier Strange enslaved there as laborers, would give a damn what was coming or going from the supply freighters that arrived from all parts of the globe.
Still, my client had his reasons, I supposed, and that was good enough for me. I didn't need to know who he was or what I was moving. All that mattered was the two rough-cut diamonds currently tucked into the fur lining of my boot and the three that would be given to me after I'd delivered tonight's cargo to its destination.
The big human guard humped out of his shack near the gate, a long black rifle slung across his body from a wide leather shoulder strap. I leaned out and he peered at me through the rusted iron bars, recognition lifting the heavy brow that visored small, avid eyes that made my skin crawl. "Back so soon, eh, Nisha?" He grunted, leering now. "You sure are a woman in high demand these days. Not that I'm complaining about that, of course."
I gave him a smile that a smarter man might have recognized as loathing. "What can I say? Business is booming."
He grinned as he unlocked the gate and let me drive through. "Which slip is it tonight?"
"3-East," I said out the open window, the designation indicating the docks where cargo from New Asia arrived. When the guard hopped up onto the truck's running board alongside me, I gave him a flat look. "I know the way."
He dropped back down with a scowl. "That freighter just came in about an hour ago. They're still unloading. Could be a while before they're done, so if you need to get out of the cold, you come on up and I'll let you sit with me in the guard house."
I waved him off without looking back. The icy rain was turning to sleet, pelting the windshield like tiny pebbles. Burrowing deeper into the hood of my parka, I drove toward the deep-water port that had long ago been desertlands and city skyscrapers--before the planet's shift had cracked a wide saltwater chasm between the island of Mexitexas and the shrunken coastal borders of North America. As I neared the enormous ship moored at the slip marked 3E, the stench of brine and steel and belching exhaust fumes blew into the open window, clinging to my throat and stinging my eyes.
I slowed to a stop near the loading ramp, where four big, tusked trolls were carrying a tarp-covered crate across the plank to the dock. They shivered in the bad weather, their clothing sodden, long braided beards dripping water with each lumbering step. The workhorses of the Strange, trolls were built like tanks and able to labor tirelessly in all kinds of climates. These four walked gingerly with the large rectangular container--almost reverently--one of them on each corner, taking great care with it. A human supervisor waited at the end of the ramp, closely monitoring their progress.
"Be careful with that, you brainless clods!" he barked. "One slip and I'll have your bloody hides!"
I got out of my rig and walked over to the dock boss. "I take it this one's mine?"
He grunted in acknowledgment and wiped the back of his filthy hand under his runny nose. That same hand then reached out to me, palm up. "I'll have my payment now, Nisha."
I dug into the pocket of my coat, withdrew a chip of cloudy pink stone and dropped it into his waiting hand. "There you go. One quarter-carat raw ruby, same as always."
His greedy fingers closed around the paltry gemstone that represented a fortune to him. The little rock disappeared an instant later, and I didn't follow his hand to see where he'd stuffed it. "Whatever's in that thing, it's got my laborers spooked," he told me, staring through the sleet as the container neared the end of the ramp. "What the hell are you picking up tonight?"
"Don't know, and don't care," I said. "I don't get paid to care."
He scoffed. "No, I reckon you don't. Most folks say you'd sell your own mother if the price was right."
"Harsh," I replied, wholly unfazed. The insult was based on reputation, more than fact. All of which served me just fine.
As for my mother . . . it was harder to remain unaffected by the thought of her. She was killed years ago, when I was just a young girl. The nightmare of that day still haunted me, sometimes even when I was awake. Her death had haunted my father too, until his heartbreak had finally claimed him.
The dock boss said nothing more, watching with me as the trolls carefully brought the crate off the ramp and set it down in front of us. The contents shifted slightly as the box came to rest on the ground, something metal clacking quietly from within. Whatever was inside must have been heavy--not to mention valuable, given that it was protected from the elements in an enormous sheet of rare, extremely expensive plastic.
Guns, I guessed, having transported a fair share of munitions in my line of work. I stepped up to the corner of the crate to check the bindings on the plastic tarp. Although they looked secure, I wanted to be certain before I gave the okay for the trolls to load the container into the back of my rig.
As I reached out to test the straps, something growled and began to move inside the box.
Something big.
Something mired by what sounded to be heavy chains and shackles, but something very much alive.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Richmond woman sentenced in 2012 to more than 14 years in prison for helping illegal aliens obtain driver's licenses and other identification is asking a judge to vacate her sentence.
Cynthia Salamanca filed her motion without the help of a lawyer in U.S. District Court late Tuesday. She claims her sentence is unconstitutional under a 2013 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that any fact that increases a mandatory minimum sentence must be considered by a jury.
Salamanca pleaded guilty to seven fraud and identity theft charges. Salamanca obtained Social Security cards and birth certificates from U.S. citizens and sold them to illegal aliens, whom she accompanied to the Department of Motor Vehicles and other agencies to get official ID cards. She bribed a DMV employee to assist in the scam.

Implutions Iron Chef Cookoff 5 minute cookdown
Incredible @salesforcefoundation @pardot event starting now! Volunteers set up to help Stop Hunger Now.
Atlanta BeltLine SW 5k
Katie's Birthday BeltLine Campaign
The Atlanta BeltLine continues to make this city and my life better each day. Please skip the cupcakes, candles and presents and support the BeltLine for my birthday!
On June 20, I'm turning 27. That might sound old to you or maybe very young.
Either way I have found out that both old and young people benefit from connected communities and cities.
This year for my birthday I am asking you to skip the cupcakes, candles and presents and instead donate the money to a powerful project, which I am very passion about supporting. That project is the Atlanta BeltLine.
The Atlanta BeltLine has greatly added value to my life by providing areas to be active outdoors, connecting me with community and opening my eyes to Atlanta's unique neighbors and culture.
I am not the only one that adores the Atlanta BeltLine either. The world is taking note. The Atlanta BeltLine was recently named the best environmental rehabilitation project in the world (details here).
My passion and belief in the power of the BeltLine is why I'm asking for a little moolah from everyone I know - of course, the money raised will go to the Atlanta BeltLine.
My goal is to raise $2,700 by a week after my birthday, which just happens to be June 27.
I would be delighted if you make a $27 donation for my 27th Birthday, though any amount will help.
100 people donate $27 in the next 27 days = I reach my goal.
Even if I don't reach my goal, whatever I do raise will go to the Atlanta BeltLine, which will benefit both Atlantans and visitors from around the world. Win-win, really.
Please consider helping others live better lives in connected communities byclicking the "Donate Now" button on the right-side of this webpage and usePayPal to submit a celebration donation.
Countdown until June 27th begins now!

In Praise of Koozies
Koozies get a bad rap of being nothing more than foam billboards for catchy sayings about beer, babes, and football. Well, we love them and have an impressive collection. Some are downright classy, too.
I actually carry a koozie in my purse at all times. If I get on the subway with a can of Diet Coke, I like the fact that I can hold it without my hands getting covered in condensation (or getting cold), and that's not even counting that the koozie is doing its job—keeping my drink chilly all the way to my destination.
Yes, I get funny looks. But I like to think that those looks melt into a gaze of admiration and understanding because, really, it's a good idea.
And you can't deny the benefit of having koozies at an outdoor barbecue. They keep bottles and cans cold, and despite the fact that they're made out of a foam that I'm sure isn't eco-friendly, they eliminate people using multiple napkins wrapped around their beers to keep from getting their hands wet.
If you're worried that the only koozies on the market have a college mascot or a Nascar symbol on the side, take heart: I've been to several weddings in the past few years that had personalized, monogrammed koozies at parties. (A popular phrase to print: "To Have and to Hold and to Keep Your Beer Cold.") There are many websites that will print custom koozies with anything you want.
So, anyone else a koozie addict? Are you pulling yours out for the 4th of July?

I remember as a kid my Dad would use his all the time and I had a bright pink one. I found some of them last summer and used it while I had a can of soda open. I haven't seen really anyone use a koozie in like over 10 years. It's nice to see them again. :)
We actually gave beer Koozies out as presents at our wedding 2.5 weeks ago. The rehersal dinner was wings and PBR tall boys, everyone loved them!
By far, my favorite Mardi Gras throw...right up there with "carnival crystal" (a.k.a plastic krewe cups).
I was at an outdoor cooking class and a fellow classmate offered me his spare koozie for my Abita - a modern New Orleans take on the gentleman giving a lady his clean handkerchief! :-)
I don't understand apartmenttherapy's green philosophy. Post after post will extoll the virtues of going green then you have a post like this, which basically says "I'm sure the plastic foam is bad for the environment but screw it"
Why not spend some time on the web finding green alternatives?
I've never seen people waste tons of napkins wrapping their cans. What's so awful about getting your hands damp?
I'm with you alexis -- can anyone give us a good alternative?
I would guess that, like the re-usable coffee holder things, someone is making a similar-material koozie.
Etsy? for example...
We reuse glass bottles for water instead of plastic bottled water, and we use koozies to cushion the bottles from breaking in case it drops.
heck yeah. I love my koozie!
You probably get funny looks because you're not supposed to eat/drink on the subway?
We have a great "Play Like a Champion Today" koozie that rolls up on itself. My husband has quite a collection.
My husband has made me a koozie convert. They are great for casual outdoor events.
Apartment Therapy had a post talking about handmade drink cozies (the alternative to styrofoam) and people bashed them as ugly and pointless. No one is ever happy.
My husband & I are totally addicted to koozies (I keep one in my purse too!). We recently moved to California & our friends constantly poke fun at us for our obsession. They've finally written it off as a "Texas thing." Glad to know we're not the only ones!
Koozies are required for drinking on the boat at my parent's cabin. I'm going to get them some personalized ones for up there. This is great.
It's like I woke up one morning and these things went from Kozy's to Koozies. Oh well.
I have to commend you on your hard-core preparedness by having a kozy in your purse at all times. That's a step further than a bottle opener on the key chain.
Kozy's = fun in the sun.
Love the post (and subsequent comments)!
I'm a huge kozy fan! These ones are a hit among my friends & I http://www.drinktoque.com/
where did "koozie" come from? i thought it was a cozy.
I keep a few around, and they see occasional use, but I've never bought one. My all-time favorite is the one I picked up from the Lebowskifest (the original one, in Louisville) two years ago. It's bright orange, has the couple of requisite logos, and the immortal phrase, "Careful, man, there's a beverage here!"
Good times.
I had never really given them another thought until I moved from California to the South. They are EVERYWHERE down here! I've seen people bring them to restaurants, give them out during weddings, and keep large collections for parties. I think they're fine for cookouts and the like though I never think to use one unless offered one. My brother, still residing in California, detests them, calling them tacky and correction my pronunciation of them - ie my "koozie" to his "cozy." To each his own!
May I see an example of a "downright classy" one as I'm having a hard time imagining what it could possibly look like.
I didn't even know these things were still around until I moved from California to Texas. I thought they were some "thing" from the 80s! Anyway, I do have one now (I got it at some event at my college). I keep it at my desk, but I hardly ever drink anything from a can, so it is kind of pointless.
But about the environmental issue - they pretty much last forever, no? I'm sure you can pick one up at a thrift store and wash it, if you are concerned.
I'm of the opinion that koozies are green. Yes, koozies are made of foam but unlike Styrofoam cups or coolers koozies intended to be used over and over again. Paper napkins only work for one drink and then you have to use more paper. Some are pretty tacky but you still collect them and keep them around for parties, someone will use it. Koozies are like t-shirts, they commemorate an event and prove you where there. They bring back memories of parties, tailgating, hot summer days and long summer nights. They keep drinks cold and start conversations. You keep koozies until they are beyond use because sooner or later it will get used. I know more than a few girls who keep one in their purse. Koozies made of neoprene fold up nicely in a back pocket. I keep a few in my car along with a couple of folding chairs because you should always be prepared.
That's a stubby holder! Here in Australia you'd be hard pressed to find a house without a number of them. They're such day to day objects it seems strange to think people would have them as wedding presents!
Yeppers---koozie or kozy, we in Texas hold on to them for years. We take our beer-drinking seriously (cheers to Minnesota/Wisconsin---y'all give us a good run though).

From Lubbock Christian University:
Following the conclusion of Concordia's (Calif.) first ever NAIA softball national title Thursday (8-3 win over Spring Hill), the NAIA announced the All-Championship Team for the 2013 NAIA Softball National Championship and Lubbock Christian University was represented with Courtney McGee and Megan Sullivan selected.
McGee, a junior pitcher from Yorba Linda, Calif., went 5-0 during the NAIA postseason and 3-0 at the final site. Her numbers in Columbus included a 1.33 ERA, three complete games, four earned runs allowed and 19 strikeouts in 21 innings pitched. She held opponents to a .188 batting average. For the season, she went a perfect 21-0 with a 1.81 ERA. At the plate, the First Team All-Sooner Athletic Conference member tied a NAIA record getting hit by a pitch 28 times.
Sullivan led everyday starters in the postseason hitting .391 with four doubles, two home runs and seven runs driven in. In Columbus, she was just .273 at the plate with three hits in 11 at-bats. All three of her hits were doubles and she drove in a pair of runs. She was walked six times. For the season, Sullivan hit .438 with 25 doubles and 10 home runs. She co-led LCU with 71 runs-driven-in and was named Sooner Athletic Conference Player of the Year.
The two players were not the only players with solid contributions in Columbus, where the Lady Chaps finished in third place. McKenzie Clemmons led LCU with seven hits, including a triple. Diana De La Paz and Latainna Eltsosie each co-led the team in runs-batted-in with three. Rebecca Billings was solid behind the plate with 32 put-outs, four assists and no errors.
LCU ended their season 61-10, with the 61 wins marking a new program record. The sixth-year program closed out their NAIA era making the NAIA National Championship in all six seasons. At the final site this season, LCU broke the NAIA final site record for stolen bases with 16. For the season, they smashed the NAIA single-season record for stolen bases with 270, as they had nine players with at least 10 stolen bases on the season (Mallory Koschany with 71).

FIRST AND FORMOST buy a good loading maual like the Lyman or the ABC's of reloading. That will give you insight into what you will nee and how it will be done.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
^^^^^^100%. read and reread the book several times and adhere to all the safety precautions. they are there for good reason. reloading can be a safe and rewarding addition to your shooting if done safely, but can have very bad results if not done properly. i also suggest the same book as Robo suggested, and can usually be found at Amazon.com for less than $15.00. excellent book and good information within it's pages.
As stated, get a number of reloading manuals. One thing to beware of is that the loading info is not consistent among the manuals and it can change over time, so load to the low end of the specs. And take a look at Youtube; they have some really well done videos. There is a ten-part series about the Dillon RL550 press that is pretty good. I recently started reloading for my 1911 and found that the FMJ rounds worked just fine, but I have some issues with hardcast lead bullets. So, start with FMJ I think.
If you are the kind of guy that undertsands how to read a micrometer like used for turning rotors and stuff like that it will be a piece of cake for you. But you still need to buy a book. You wouldn't tear down an engine without having the proper specs, right? You should buy a book. And read it. Pay close attention to powder specs, bullet weights, stuff like that. But dont just ignore the little stuff either.
How much do you shoot? How many different calibers? Think about that before you buy equipment.
I shoot a bunch of different calibers. Probably about 20. I use a dedicated progressive for my .45 ACP. I have a single stage for the other stuff.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
Great advice everyone going to by several Manuel's today thanks for all the help.
Don't be intimidated by reloading, nor feel that you can just slide your way into it.
It is a process, it has many interesting quirks that are similar to those that you may find in Automotive Mechanics, but unique in it's form or substance to the process of reloading. (e.g. loose primer pocket, double charge)
Things can go horribly wrong, but these are usually related to process and the quality of executing the process. Things can also go very well, with a minumum of materials used to produce quality reloads.
In years past, I reloaded extensivily, then took a break, then resumed recently. I was reminded of the need to establish and follow my processes. A simple double check of the scale increments would have saved me a scare. My process of loading only two cartridges for test fire saved me a box of overcharged reloads.
As the others noted, read a manual or several. YouTube movies may also be helpful.
But when it comes down to it, make sure you understand the step, why that step is important, what the consequences are of not executing the step flawlessly and how that step fits in with the others.
As a Master Mechanic, you certainly have the manual skills, most likely the mental skills
Experience, of course comes only with .. uh .. experience, but you can really get a leg up by making it an full imersion hobby. Read, Read, Read ....
Buy a manual or two first. Read them a couple of times. Then have at it!
Check out the NRA Reloading Clinics in your area. This is the best way to start reloading.
Its just like findin a small block with 4 bolt mains,,,you gonna put it back in the pickup stock, or are you going to tweak with it. Speed costs, how fast do you want to go?

Times are tough, ammo is expensive, there will be no warning shots.

There may be reason to celebrate though. A recent study from SearchIgnite tells us that paid search spending has seen nice growth in Q2 when looking at year over year results. Here is a picture of it for you.
We always like to warn our readers that you must consider the source of research in this age of "Research as PR". I have no reason to challenge the integrity of these findings but with SearchIgnite being a search marketing company it stands to reason that caution should be exercised regarding what is being demonstrated.
Of note, if you look at the quarter over quarter numbers the picture is a bit less rosy but that could be a seasonal phenomenon. One thing that looks pretty obvious though is that Yahoo is truly being faded out of the search marketing picture as the full integration of bing and Yahoo looms. Nothing like uncertainty to drive people away from something.
Since our readers are the types who have actual experience with this kind of activity we ask "What are you seeing in paid search these days?". Is it making a real comeback that could eventually get back to pre-recession levels or has this economy set new metrics for growth and what is defined as realistic expectations?

Health Benefits of Sleeping Naked
Shed those inhibitions, this is no time to be embarrassed. Going naked will streamline and accelerate the repair process of the skin. A healthy, uninterrupted air flow will help in the process. Sleeping naked allows the sebaceous glands to do their work best, which is sebum discharge and regeneration. This in turn helps in improving the metabolic rate of the body.

This is another one of those girls that almost make me feel bad watching them. Porn stars are supposed to be artificial and dumb looking; have dyed hair, comically oversized breast implants, a bitchy-looking face. She looks like the sort of cute girl you'd meet and ask out to a nice, expensive restaurant, not the sort who you should see fucking on camera

Nice! Would love to see my wife get fucked like that by another man!

Doom 3 BFG trailer features new missions and retro action
Doom 3 BFG edition is out this week, which makes it the perfect week for a Doom 3 BFG launch trailer. The repackaged, updated version of Doom 3 comes with 3D vision support and a new seven-level segment called The Lost Mission. The Resurrection of Evil expansion pack is included, along with Doom and Doom 2. The whole package is available at a budget £20 / €30 price point.
it sounds like Doom 3 has been significantly polished up with "improved rendering and lighting," more sensibly placed checkpoints and, countering one of the biggest points of contention, an armour-mounted flashlight. That should stop you from having to constantly choose between being able to see and being able to defend yourself. You can absorb some of that information in visual form with bonus demons in the launch trailer below.
