Remmie Epps joins the FBI
FBI Headquarters
Remmie glanced at Carey who sat beside her in the unmarked car weaving its way through the traffic "you'll be brief as to what you will be doing when you we arrive. Director Carter will be your boss" Carey informed her as Remmie nodded, turning her attention back to the building crawling pass her window. They had taken a private jet which had amazed Remmie; they were then picked up in a car. She had never seen so many buildings, for that matter she had never seen the outside world; it was over crowded, noisy and smelly. The car pulled to a stopped outside a building marked FBI, Remmie waited until Carey exited the car and slammed the door. She climbed out and studied the building. It was glass fronted which made it shine in the morning sun light. Trees and shrubs dotted the front walkway, people dressed smartly buzzed around outside many walking in and out the building. Two guards stood alert outside "you ok Remmie" Carey asked as Remmie nodded, looking up to the top floors "what will I have to do" Remmie questioned as Carey looked to her "helping one of the FBI's most prominent teams" Carey stated as he shut the door and nodded to the driver. He waved a hand towards the building and guided Remmie.
The interior was spotless and dull. A few paintings hanged around the lobby area, leafy trees stood beside each leather three seat. A blue marble desk stood in front of four elevators. Two operators sat behind the desk, smiling politely. Carey stood in front of a red head and smiled at her "general Carey, I'm here to see director Carter" Carey stated as the red nodded still holding her smile "oh good morning General Carey, Director Carter is expecting you and your companion but an Admiral Van Holt phoned ahead and requested that you contact him immediately" the red head stated as Carey nodded and looked at Remmie "would it be possible for my companion to go ahead" Carey asked as the red head nodded "of course sir, miss if you take the second elevator and go to the fifth floor a guard will escort you to the directors office" the red head stated before Remmie looked at Carey who smiled "press the button marked up and once in side hit the button marked five" Carey explained as Remmie nodded then walked briskly towards the steel doors whilst the red head raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
He was late, and wasn't the usual five minutes late, he was the bad late that sometimes got you fired or worse pulled up in front of the director like a bad school boy. Agent Mackenzie Cohen skidded when he raced into the lobby of the FBI head quarters. Any other day would be fine but after a thirteenth girl was taken he was being watched by the director very closely. Mac waved to the two desk clerks only barely noticing the dark general standing by the desk dialing a number on the standard black phones. Not slowing down he slipped into the second elevator just before the doors closed. Taking a deep breath he sent a thank you to who ever was helping this morning. The only reason he was late was because he had been working till four o'clock that morning, and having to get up at six he over slept by an hour. Mac reached and hit the button for seven and sighed before looking towards his elevator companion. Mac straightened when he took the young woman in for the first time. Her rich brown hair had been clipped back, showing off her rounded face. Her slim figure was accentuated by a white buttoned shirt and black boot cut trousers, Mac cleared his throat and straightened his tie. He had gone with a basic dark blue suit. Mac looked at the woman again as the elevator began to ascend "morning" Mac greeted causing the woman to look at him and raised an eyebrow at his ruffled hair and unshaven face "good morning" she greeted before looking back towards the door. Mac looked away before rocking on his heels and looked at her again "I'm agent Cohen, I don't believe I've seen you around here before" he stated as the woman looked at him again with an expressionless face "Remmie Epps, I have never been here before" she stated matter of factly before looking at the door again "right, just visiting" Mac asked as Remmie sighed and looked at him "I don't do tiny talk" Remmie admitted as Mac frowned before he smiled "small talk" he corrected causing Remmie to look at him "excuse me" Remmie as Mac smiled even more "it's called small talk and why don't you do it" Mac questioned as Remmie sighed "it's irrelevant, two strangers attempt to fill the awkward silence with small talk that mean nothing to each other only to depart with awkwardness because neither know each other well enough to say goodbye and mean it" Remmie stated before looking back straight ahead while Mac stared at her with confusion before he went to say something but closed his mouth before the doors pinged and opened. Remmie nodded to him before she walked out and spoke to the guards who nodded before the doors closed as Mac shook his head.
Director Mike Carter's office stood at the end of a long hallway, fronted by a serious and middle aged man. He regarded Remmie for a few moments before buzzing into the room behind him "yes" a gruff voice answered as the desk clerk continued to watch Remmie as he talked "sir there is a Miss Epps to see you" the clerk declared before general Carey hurried to her side "and General Carey" Carey ordered as the clerk looked him up and down "and a general Carey" the clerk stated before he waited "send them in" the voice ordered before the clerk gave a nod and pointed to a heavy and highly polished door behind him "go straight in" he ordered without even looking at them.
Carey opened the door and allowed Remmie to step in first to a large and well lit room. Book cases lined two walls and where filled with books, binders, photos and a few statues. A large slick black desk stood before two large windows over looking a lush garden where agents milled around. A middle aged man with dark hair sat, he had cared for himself and toned his muscles. He looked up from the papers spread across his desk, setting his hazel eyes on the pair over his rimless glasses. He looked from Carey to Remmie then back "General Carey, we've spoken on the phone" Carter declared as he stood and held his hand out. Carey stepped forward and took the other man's hand firmly before letting go and pointing to Remmie "and this is the expert I was telling you about" Carey declared as Remmie shook Carters hand "so is your past going to a problem" Carter asked as Remmie pulled her hand a little confused, questioningly she looked at Carey who sighed "I explained what happened to him. He had to know seeing as your going to be working for him" Carey explained as Remmie took a deep breath and looked at Carter "so is it" he asked again but Remmie shook her head "I don't believe it will... but I can not know for sure until I have started to work" Remmie admitted as Carter studied her with furrowed brows before he grinned "straight to the point I like it. I think your going to do well here" Carter declared as Carey smiled and looked at Remmie who raised an eyebrow "general your more than welcome to stay" Carter offered but Carey shook his head "I'm needed back on base" Carey admitted before looking at Remmie "you have an apartment set up for you, guards will still be watching you. You will have everything you need" Carey assured as Remmie nodded "understood" she admitted as Carey smiled at her, sadly he held his hand out and Remmie "good luck Remmie, any problems you have your direct number to my office and the base" Carey questioned as Remmie nodded letting go of Carey's hand "thank you general" she thanked before Carey nodded and gave a nod to Carter before turning and walking back out of the office.
Carter waited until the door shut before he looked at Remmie "let's get down to business shall we" he stated before walking around the desk, grabbing the grey jacket to his suit "you will be working with our best team here. Over seven months twelve girls have gone missing, the last five of them have been discovered mutilated" Carter told her slipping into his jacket and opening the door for her.
"Have you got any suspects... any links to the victims" Remmie questioned as the pair walked down the hallway towards the guarded elevators "no, each victim is different from the last. It's as though they are random" Carter told her as Remmie shook her head "there must be a connection, other wise you should have been able to capture him by now. Serial killers with random victims don't care about the victim, they are not important the act of killing itself is important and disposing of the body is an after thought for the killer" Remmie stated as Carter looked at her "yep your going to fit in well" he stated hitting a button for the elevator.
Mac strolled into his team's room. The room held a large desk around which he and the rest of the team sat and spoke. Glass doors stood at the back leading to a set of stairs that led to the lab and examining room. Mac lead his small team with fellow agent Jack Mathis, most agents refused this position due to the fact that the team consisted of four doctors each bringing their specialized skills to the team in order to solve cases deemed unsolvable or difficult. Mac looked down and saw the team sitting in the lab beneath him. He walked over to the door and swiped his ID card and pulled the door open and walked down the stairs. The team looked towards him and fellow agent Mathis pushed over the stainless steel counter top "well morning sleeping beauty" Mathis greeted scratching at his short dirty blonde hair. Mac shot him a look before heading straight over to the coffee machine "don't tell me you're all waiting around for my input" Mac asked not looking at his team. The only female of the team Doctor Sasha Halliwell grinned and sat up, her raven black hair was tied back but its natural curl caused strains slipped out of place and fell around her creamy heart shaped face "the boys here are getting excited, it seems our pleads have gone answered. Carter has appointed a new member to the team" Sasha stated as Mac looked at Mathis who nodded "heard the rumor this morning. Meant to be an expert or something, though I don't know why because we have the experts sitting here now" Mathis stated as Mac shook his head "no offence but of we were that good then we would have caught the sick bastard all ready" Mac pointed out causing a deep auburn haired man looked at him with wounded eyes "hey Mac we don't dig about your lack of tact do we now" Doctor Matthew Hawkins exclaimed before Mac shot him a look "you got my results" Mac demanded as Matthew handed him a folder "just as the others, no traces. This guy is good" "he's not good, he's sick and it will be a matter of time before we get him" Mac interrupted causing everyone to look at each other "I got a face for the girl, the twelfth girl" a voice stated from beside Sasha, Doctor Monty Yu stepped forward and showed the team a picture of an African American female with delicate and soft features. Her dark hair hung loosely around her face. Mac studied the face and sighed before handing the reconstruction back to Monty, the Chinese doctor took it back and gave Mac a look "she's different" he stated as Mac grabbed his coffee and squared his jaw "just like the others. Their too different" Mac snapped as Mathis looked at Mac "like you said we're going to get him" Mathis admitted as Mac nodded "alright people, lets put a name to this face and tell her family she isn't coming home" Mac declared as everyone nodded before Mac zeroed in on the youngest member of the team lab tech Sam Jones who was nervously shuffling a stack of papers. His deep green deer like eyes turned towards Mac and stared at him "from the small amounts of flesh I was able to take from the bones I couldn't find any traces of drugs or anything to suggest that she was chemical subdued" Sam admitted as Mac shook his head "but that doesn't mean she wasn't given something that would dissolved in the system after a few hours" Mac questioned as Sam nodded "it's possible" Sam admitted before he looked up towards the main and frowned. Mac stared at him before he turned and looked up director Mike Carter stood before the window talking to someone out of view. He caught Mac's gaze and gave him a sharp nod. Mac looked to Mathis who shrugged before walking over to Mac and watched their boss "think that's the new kid" Mathis asked as Mac folded his arms "well who ever he is he better be good" Mac declared before Carter walked to the door and swiped his card, holding the door open allowing someone to walk out first. Mac straightened when he saw it was the woman from the elevator. The rest of the team watched as Carter and Remmie walk down the stairs.
As Remmie stepped down the steps fragments of memories echoed around her brain. She had seen a room like this before, a wall lined with machinery. But she couldn't pinpoint when she had been in room like that before. Carter stepped forward "this is Ms Remmie Epps, she will be assisting you in your investigation" Carter declared before motioned to Mac and Mathis "those two are agents Mac Cohen and Jack Mathis" Carter introduced as Mathis nodded but Mac looked at them "we've already met" Mac stated causing Carter to raise his eyebrow before looking at Remmie who nodded "that must have been an experience" Carter stated in a firm tone ignoring the wounded expression.
"And this is Doctor Sasha Halliwell, she is a behavior specialist, she helps us understand the criminal mind" Carter stated as Remmie nodded before Sasha grinned "thank god there's another woman on the team, I was getting snowed under with all the talk of football. Believe me these guys could talk the hind legs off a horse" Sasha admitted causing Remmie to frown at her "I don't understand what that means" Remmie stated matter of factly. Sasha raised her eyebrows before the men looked at each. Carter straightened and looked at Remmie "common expression, mean they can talk for ever about football" Carter stated as Remmie nodded before lowering her eyes.
"Um this is Doctor Monty Yu, he reconstructs facial images. He gives faces to skulls" Carter told her as Remmie nodded and smiled to Monty who nodded "welcome" he stated before Carter looked at Matthew "this is doctor Matthew Hawkins, he is an expert in entomology, and breaking down partials to discern where the victims have been" Carter stated as Remmie nodded and looked at Matthew he chewed on gum "and our youngest recruit Sam Jones, he is becoming the best with DNA" Carter beamed as Sam ducked his head with embarrassment. Carter sighed "and this is the team, Remmie will help with the skeletons and the crime scenes" Carter ordered but no one nodded. "Right good, Miss Epps any problems come and see me, I'll leave you lot it. I want up dates" Carter ordered before he turned and walked up the stairs but stopped and looked at Mac "and Agent Cohen if you need a new alarm clock I would gladly buy you one. We can't have you turning up late for work" Carter stated giving Mac a pointed look. Mac smirked as Carter walked out before he looked at Remmie who looked from each team member "oh for god sake" Sasha exclaimed as she stepped forward and held her hand out "hey" Sasha greeted before Remmie shook her hand "hello" she greeted before Sasha took Remmie by the arm over to a clear board that held pictures of twelve girls names written beneath each one and paper tact to the board with information about each girl "how much did Carter tell" Sasha questioned as Remmie studied the girls faces "twelve girls have been abducted over the past seven months, the last five have been discovered murdered" Remmie told her as Sasha nodded "that's correct. But the problem is we've found no connection between any of the women that were killed. Well at least not among the last ones, however the first and second victims are similar in their facial features. Shannon Moore and Carrie Gregson were the first two that we knew of, both twenty one years of age, both had blonde hair and came from good families who both reported them missing three days after they were abducted" Sasha explained as Remmie nodded "after the first two they were all different, my theory is that the first two were apart of a pattern. He got smarter after that changing the type of victim" Sasha stated as Remmie glanced at her "it's no longer about the victim it's the power and pleasure of the kill" Remmie declared as Sasha nodded "but like I said he's getting smarter, the need to kill normal over powers the killer, as though he craves and feeds on it to nourish himself and with those killers they are more likely to make more mistakes as their killings spiral out of control" Sasha explained as Remmie looked at her "but this killer hasn't, because it isn't a craving for him, he may prefer the killing to the victim but he is still in control over his actions. He saviors the kill" Remmie declared as Sasha nodded "can I look at the bones" Remmie asked as Sasha glanced at Mac who was watching them along with the rest of the team "ask Mac, he's the boss" Sasha stated as Remmie turned and walked over to Mac "I need to see the remains" she declared as Mac raised his eyebrows "please" he stated as Remmie frowned before sighing "please may I see the remains of all the women you have found" Remmie declared as Mac took a deep breath before looking at Mathis "phone Pollok, tell him we're viewing the bodies" Mac ordered as Mathis nodded and watched as Mac lead Remmie out of the room.
Sasha walked back over to the men "twenty she won't last the week" Matthew declared as Sasha grinned "I give her two days" Mathis stated causing Matthew to snort "I give her to the end of the day before Mac scares her away" Monty stated as Sasha shook her head "twenty she stays" Sasha stated before she walked away.

Keeping mashed potatoes warm....
- chowkari Oct 27, 2008 07:11 PM
My boyfriend and I are hosting Thanksgiving for 20 this year. I am very excited, as I love to cook and entertain and have family over. I've started planning the menu and would like to cook as much as possible early in the day. I am curious about tricks for keeping mashed potatoes warm. I have heard about the crock pot method, although the only one I own is fairly small. I have a large dutch oven, and was thinking I could boil the potatoes in that, mash in the same pot and it will maintain the heat for at least an hour. Also, I am probably going to rent some chafing dishes.
Has anyone had luck with keeping MPs warm for dinner?
The crock pot method works pretty well.
If you have a very large bowl and another that will fit inside of it you can fill the smaller one with mashed potatoes, set it inside the larger bowl into which you've poured enough hot water to come half to three quarters of the way up the sides of the smaller bowl, put a lid on the smaller bowl and set the paired bowls in a low oven (<200 degrees). But don't figure on this working for more than about an hour; and you'll need to fluff your potatoes when you remove them from the oven.
You can try my preferred method by doing the same thing but do it with your cooked potatoes and wait to mash them just before putting your dinner on the table. Use warm milk and room temperature butter to avoid cooling them down in the mashing process.
If you're going to put them in a chafing dish, wait until the very last minutes. Personally, I hate chafing dishes. Reminds me of the self serve steam tables. It's a long story ......
I'm a fan of the crockpot method. It's worth asking a friend or family member to borrow an extra one if yours is too small. I haven't had much luck with holding them in a chafing dish--it just doesn't keep them hot enough.
P.S. Your smaller crockpot might be good for keeping the gravy warm. :)
If your serving bowl will fit into the dutch oven, put the mashed spuds into the bowl, cover it, then put a little boiling water into the dutch oven, put the bowl in, and put the lid on the dutch oven. You could set it on the counter on a folded bath towel and wrap another around and over it. At worst, you might have to replace the boiling water.
At a presentation we attended, we heard Shirley Corriher say that mashed potatoes are much better reheated than kept hot, and so for the next holiday dinner I did as she advised: cooked and mashed the potatoes while the turkey was roasting, put them into a covered ovenproof dish and kept them at room temperature, then stuck them into a 300º oven for twenty minutes before serving. They were perfect.
re: Will Owen
Lucky you, Will! She is an endless fount of wisdom - I loved her appearances on Nathalie Dupree's shows and often consult my copy of "Cookwise". "Bakewise" is on my wishlist. I don't have cable so don't know if she's ever had her own show, but wish she were on PBS regularly. She'd be a great addition to the Cooks Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen folks, but doubt that so distinctly southern a woman would be at home in Boston, even though we'd love to have her nearby.
re: greygarious
When we lived in Nashville, we'd see Nathalie Dupree as often as once a year doing live demonstrations and book signings. The best visit was at one Southern book festival, where she was on a panel discussing Southern food with John Edgerton and the woman who'd cooked for the Arkansas governors, can't remember her name. Nathalie and I got to talking and had a lot of fun ragging on the Southern penchant for drowning sweet potatoes in brown sugar and marshmallows. She was always very sweet and approachable.
I'm sorry to say I have none of Shirley's books, a shortcoming that I must soon address. When we saw her she was promoting her latest, but we were too broke to buy a copy and get in line to meet her.
re: Will Owen
Excellent idea. Could I microwave to reheat?
re: chowser
How do you make mashed potatoes in the rice cooker?
re: Karen K
I cook potatoes (peeled or not, cut into chunks) like I would rice and then just leave them. The rice cooker keeps it warm but it's a moist heat so they don't dry out or get gummy like they would if they were sitting in water. When I'm ready to serve, I mash and add other ingredients.
ThePioneerWoman.com has a recipe for do ahead mashed potatoes and her stuff is generally delish. I might try them this year as I'm working the night before Thanksgiving. Though generally I'm in the must do at the last minute camp for perfect mashed potatoes. Let us know if you give it a try.
I take the MP (15 lbs!) to another's house. I make and mash them in my revereware stock pot, while warming my Le Creuset in the oven, and warming milk on the stove. when potatoes are mashed, I butter the Le Creuset, put the potatoes in, smooth the top, and pour the warm milk on top. This travels well (put in a cardboard box in case of spills in the car), and the potatoes don't dry out. If need be, put the whole thing in the oven or on top of the stove on very low heat to re-warm, and beat the milk from on top into the potatoes just before serving.
By the way, add roasted garlic!

I have never been happy with my weight before. Ever since I started this free calorie counter I have been more confident about myself and my weight. I also never ever wanted to say my starting weight out loud, but I think now is the best time time to express how happy I am. I use to be 250lbs and as of last week I am now 207lbs. I can't wait to be under 200, I feel better about myself when I look in the mirror.
myfitnesspal.com worked wonders for me and I am still going strong. Can't wait to look aweasome in a dress for my friends wedding. I haven't worn a dress in a year, and I am still self-consious about my looks, but of course no one will really care since they will be looking at the bride.
SOOOOO SAAAADDD!!! made me cry that its over :(
story of my life
best show ever…

"Hell to the no! As a devout Survival hunter, I can already say that our DPS is shameful compared to the other trees. I don't want to give up MORE ranged DPS for whatever compensatory melee augmentations they might offer. Where would that leave us? Poor ranged, poor melee."
I was poor with my wording. The first part of my post was illustrating why it would be a bad idea, because since Hunter is a ranged DPS class, making Survival competative in melee defeats the purpose of being a Hunter. It would either be gimped, because you would have to kill the class's purpose for the sake of the spec, or overpowered, because the hunter would be able to out dps everyone else because they wouldn't give a damn about range.

Multiple sources connected to both Debbie and Paris tell TMZ ... Michael Jackson's 15-year-old daughter spent a good part of her birthday Wednesday with Debbie, who was married to MJ and gave birth to Paris and Prince. We're told, "The two just hung out. They've gotten really tight."
As TMZ previously reported, Debbie signed her full parental rights away to Michael in 2001 ... when Paris was 3.
After Michael and Debbie divorced she had virtually no contact with Paris.
Our sources say ... Paris and Debbie have gotten together a number of times recently. They've really established a relationship.
And, we're told, Debbie has gone out of her way to keep the meetings on the down-low because she doesn't want to create an appearance that she's exploiting their relationship. One source says Debbie could have made a lot of money off the meetings, but wouldn't even consider it.
I said it some time ago, "how much do you want to bet that all of Michael Jackson's hard earned money will wind up in the hands of Debbie Rowe?",looks like that's exactly what is going to happen.
She's keeping the meetings on the "down low". She's apparently only selling the story to TMZ.
its sad that MJ used these kids as his props to hide is pedophilia
Debbie Rowe never abandoned her children. For the first couple of years after they were born Debbie was in their life. It was Michael who slowly terminated Debbie by not letting her come to his home to see their children. Michael also did not pay Debbie per their agreement. When MJ died Debbie and Katherine discussed who would have guardianship/custody and Debbie, once again, stayed in the background for the sake of her children to keep them stabilized after the loss of their father. She requested counseling for her kids immediately after MJ died and both Debbie and Katherine paid for the counselor. Debbie had visitation with her children at that time. When Katherine was kidnapped by her own kids and lost custody last summer, the judge contacted Debbie for her instructions since she is still their legal mother. Debbie did not interfere by asking for them back because once again her children's stability was her priority. Debbie has more intelligence, love, wisdom and common sense than the Jackson family has ever had. At least Debbie won't use those kids the way greedy Katherine has. Debbie is not interested in money. She sat back waiting for her children to contact her when they were ready and now Paris is bonding more with her. Debbie will be a huge asset to her children in guarding their futures and definitely will make sure no one ever takes advantage of them. This is exactly what the kids need....love, protection and guidance for their futures especially for their school education.
Those kids are just random people that hit the lotto. I cannot beleive they try to pass those kids as biological. Why didn't he just admit he adopted them.
I know Michael Jackson is her and Prince's, and that creepy Blanket's legal father, and I think Arnie Klien is the bio father of Prince, but I don't think Arnie had anything to do with Paris. Paris seems fairly self-assured and well grounded for a child her age, so hopefully a relationship with the woman who is her biological mother will be a good one and will add to her strengths.
Michael's dermatologist 'Arnold' and Debbie's previous boss, ( as she was the secretary there @his clinic) is both Prince & Paris's biological father. Google* him & then hold his photo up to Prince. Their resemblance to one another is undeniable!! "Blanket" however, is definitely the 'mystery child" with very rich parents floating around somewhere out there...Undoubtedly suffering a 'gag order' agreement.
On all of that bullsh*t regarding conception & artificial insimination...Umm.."no"!! Just compare Arnold's pic to Prince and judge "the obvious" for yourself!!
Katherine at age 82 took 3 traumatized kids going through the worst moments any kid can go through. When she took those kids, they basically had no money and a huge debt of $500,000,000. And she didn't mind because those were Michael's kids.
That grounded, level headed personality that you see in Paris, comes from Katherine's guidance, who took her in when she was 10 years old.
I certainly hope you aren't trying to imply that Debbie Rowe is some kind of moral or admirable character because she didn't get paid to spend time with her biological child. The child she gestated and SOLD as an infant, along with her brother for a hefty profit. She is s***.
I don't see the resemblance between Paris and Debbie Rowe. Debbie must have been the carrier, but I don't see any resemblance.
I think it is despicable the way MJ isolated these kids from their mother.
Paris Jackson, infected by THE HOST.

* @EcoInternet helped on important partial victory
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff used a line-item veto Friday to send back parts of a congressional bill that loosened the nation's benchmark law protecting the Amazon rainforest -- a veto the government said would prevent increased deforestation.
Environmentalists were not satisfied because they had called for a veto of the entire bill, known as the Forest Code, saying any weakening of the law would put the world's largest rainforest at risk. Government officials said the partial veto went far enough to keep Brazil on track in its efforts to quell the destruction of the Amazon and other biomes.
"It's the code of those who believe it's possible to produce food and preserve the environment," Agriculture Minister Jorge Ribeiro Mendes told reporters.
Mendes and other officials said the government made 12 vetos and 32 other alterations to the bill, including a requirement for large landowners to reforest land they had illegally cleared, with less stringent requirements the smaller the area involved. Rousseff long indicated she wanted a bill that was less rigorous for smaller, poor farmers and ranchers in the Amazon and elsewhere.
"The big (farmers) have vast extensions of land and have the means to recover all the areas of permanent preservation," Teixeira said.
The bill now goes back to Congress, and legislators have 30 days to override Rousseff's changes with a simple majority, which is considered unlikely.
The Amazon rainforest is considered one of the world's most important natural defenses against global warming because of its capacity to absorb huge amounts of carbon dioxide.
About 75 percent of Brazil's emissions come from rainforest clearing, as vegetation burns and felled trees rot. That releases an estimated 400 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year, making Brazil at least the sixth-biggest emitter of the gas.
The bill revising the Forest Code passed Congress last month after more than a decade of efforts by Brazil's powerful agricultural lobby to make changes to what has been one of the world's toughest environmental laws, at least on paper. The Brazilian government until recently rarely enforced the measure, and authorities are still stymied by a lack of resources as they to police a swath of rainforest the size of the United States west of the Mississippi River.
Environmentalists said changes to the law were disastrous, as they "send a highly negative signal that will lead to more deforestation and undermine deforestation control measures," said Kenzo Juca Ferreira, with the WWF in Brasilia.
The bill as Congress passed it allowed smaller farmers and ranchers to work land closer to riverbanks and on hilltops, which environmental activists say will lead to increased deforestation. Those who support the bill, however, said it gives long-needed help to smaller Brazilian farmers forced off the land by the strong environmental restrictions on how they can work.
The bill had big support in both houses of congress. The Senate version of the bill provided more protections to sensitive environmental areas, but the bill that arrived before Rousseff was that passed by the House, which further loosened the law and was viewed by the president as not tough enough to combat deforestation.
Backers of the bill said recent drops in deforestation indicate pragmatic changes to the law could be made without leading to new destruction, by more effectively enforcing environmental protections that until somewhat recently were virtually ignored by Brazil's government.
About 20 percent of Brazil's Amazon rainforest has been destroyed. But beginning in 2008, the government stepped up enforcement, using satellite images to track the destruction and send environmental police into areas where deforestation was happening at its quickest pace. Amazon deforestation slowed and hit its lowest recorded level from August 2010 through July 2011, when just 2,410 square miles (6,240 square kilometers) were felled.
However, there are just 1,400 federal environmental police to cover the vast and often impenetrable Amazon along with the rest of Brazil, leading environmentalists to worry that further drops in the destruction may be unlikely -- and might even return to increasing because the new bill loosens restrictions.
Opponents of the bill also argue that while government enforcement did help slow deforestation, temporary economic factors also played a role -- that demand for the cattle, soy, timber and iron ore produced in the Amazon fell in the United States and Europe as the global financial crisis took hold. It's feared the appetite for those goods will increase and lead to a resumption in destruction once the world economy recovers.
The most contentious part of the bill passed by Congress was that it scrapped most protections for riverbanks, including maintaining strips of forest 30 yards (meters) to 100 yards (meters) deep along waterways. The version sent to Rousseff mandated only that small rivers maintain 15 yards (meters) of forest along their banks, which are sensitive to rapid erosion that can then reduce water quality, promote flooding and affect the plants and animals that use the rivers to survive.
Teixeira's indication that Rousseff was returning the bill back to what the Senate approved indicates that protections for riverbanks would be reinstated, though to what extent won't be known until Monday.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are the two new iPhone models for 2014. Apple announced larger iPhone 6 screens, a completely new design and upgraded features like the ability to make payments using Apple Pay and connecting to the Apple Watch.
The iPhone 6 features a 4.7-inch display with a 1334 x 750 resolution and 326 pixels per inch. The larger iPhone 6 Plus features a 5.5-inch display with a 1920 x 1080 resolution display offering 401 pixels per inch.
Here is Apple's video introduction of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Apple confirmed the iPhone 6 release date for September 19th in eight countries. The iOS 8 release date is September 17th, but it will come installed on the iPhone 6 out of the box. iPhone 6 pre-orders started on September 12th and will run through September 18th. Most iPhone 6 models are now back-ordered and will not be shipped by September 19th.
This is a big jump up from the iPhone 5s' 4-inch display. The image below shows an iPhone 5s vs iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6s comparison. Apple delivers a new iPhone 6 version of iOS 8 that offers a two-pane interface on the iPhone 6 Plus showing messages and calendars similar to on the iPad.
Both of the new iPhone 6 models are thinner than the iPhone 5s. Apple shrinks the iPhone 6 to 6.9mm thick and the iPhone 6 Plus to 7.1mm. The iPhone 5s is 7.6mm thick for comparison. With a larger body, this thinner design can help keep the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pocket friendly and easier to hold in one hand.
Inside Apple packs a new Apple A8 processor which delivers speed enhancements and combines with an Apple M8 co-processor to help track movement. The iPhone 6 sensors include accelerometer, gyroscope, compass and a barometer. iOS 8 and Metal allow developers to deliver better looking games on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus using more power than previously available.
The iPhone 6 battery life is an improvement over the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 6 Plus battery life promises a 50% boost in some areas.
Apple includes support for VOLTE, which delivers better sounding calls and enables iPhone call and data use at the same time on Verizon. Carriers will launch VoLTE in the coming months. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus both support 802.11ac WiFi and WiFi Calling.
iPhone 6 battery life is better than the iPhone 5s. You can see how the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 5s compare.

Apple also pipes in Apple Pay, a new NFC-enabled wallet that allows users to make payments at retail stores right from the iPhone, whether at department stores or McDonalds. You can also use this app to make payments online on your iPhone, and it enters the credit card and shipping information for you.
The iPhone 6 camera features an updated 8MP iSight sensor that uses larger pixels and a f/2.2 aperture to capture better looking images, aided by software enhancements that deliver a DSLR-like experience. The iPhone 6 camera can deliver better looking photos in shaky hands thanks to image signal processing. iPhone 6 slow motion capture includes 120fps and 240fps. Check out the iPhone 6 sample photos below.
The iPhone 6 price starts at $199 and the iPhone 6 Plus price at $299. Apple no longer sells a 32GB iPhone 6. Instead the options are 16GB, 64GB and 128GB. With a two year contract the iPhone 6 prices are as follows:
- iPhone 6 16GB – $199
- iPhone 6 64GB – $299
- iPhone 6 128GB – $399
- iPhone 6 Plus 16GB – $299
- iPhone 6 Plus 64GB – $399
- iPhone 6 Plus 128GB – $499

Boyles Swimming Hole
Also called Dead Man's Hole, Boyles is located just east of Lilies Beach and Mendocino Woodlands State Park, further up Big River from Lilies. From time to time, a few skinny-dippers hike or bike to Boyles, which even has a great rope swing. But it is mostly used by suited swimmers. To reach the swim spot, take the trail that begins at Lilies. The crowd here is a little noisier and more social than the more laid-back types found at Lilies.
One nagging problem is that although access is blocked to recreational vehicles by fallen trees, "motorcycles are still an issue," says Anderson. "Motorcyclists are finding a way through any inch (of space) they can."
Part of the Big River unit of Mendocino Headlands State Park, created in 2002. A park plan says that swimming at Boyles is "currently not restricted," a possible indication that it may be allowed to continue.
Follow directions to Lilies Beach. Park where the dirt road ends at Big River and, turning left, parking where you see other cars pulled over. "When you exit your vehicle, you'll be facing a yellow gate with a bridge viewable behind it," tells Brian, a local resident. "Take the trail that starts there and stay on it until you arrive at Boyles." For most walkers, the hike from the Lilies area and the Mendocino Woodlands Camp property will be quick. "I can walk there in 10 minutes," says Anderson. Boyles is east and slightly south of Lilies. For location, see the right side of this map
A nice deep swimming hole with a rope swing.
Most of the several to dozen or so visitors on an average day will probably be suited. And on some days, the scene is downright crowded. "There's been a ton of people down at Boyles," said Anderson in August. But on days when Boyles isn't busy, a few skinny-dippers plunge into the cool, invigorating water.
Same as Lilies, plus motorcycles on trail (see above), long walk and crowd more rowdy.

So Many Bright Lights To Cast A Shadow4 Reviews
I guess death didn't come in the form of the Black Parade.
Franks POV
It took 7 people to get the door open. 4 Crew members, Ray and i, and a distraught Mikey (who wasn't really much help at all in the state he was in). Pedicone had gone back out to search some local bars. Of course we didn't hope Gerard was out drinking his sorrows away, but the alternative's seemed a lot worse.
''We got it'' One of the crew guys said through gritted teeth, under the weight of the door.
''Fucking open it then!'' Mikey jumped up from were he had been sitting, silently crying bitter tears of frustration. Who could blame him. It had been a painful hour of searching and thinking of the worst possibilities. I was surprised i had been able to keep it together as well as i had. I guess comforting Mikes had kept my thoughts too preoccupied to think of the horrible situations my best friend could be in.
The door swung open creakily practically off its hinges. Apparently this was a storage room used to keep all the old sound equipment. It hadn't been set foot it or even unlocked in at least seven years.
Mikey dashed forward, eager to search the room for his elder brother. Ray grabbed his arm before he could peer into the gloomy black room.
''Mikes, let Frankie go first, we...we don't know what we'll find down there, if anything at all'' He quickly added. Mikey gave him a pleading look but nodded. We knew if something had happened to Gee and Mikey was the one to find him that it would break him completely. But i didn't want to go in there either. I hadn't considered what we would find once under the stage, my only thoughts had been on finding Gerard. I sighed. I knew he was in here, it was like some sort of connection we had.
''Someone pass me a flashlight'' I tried to sound as fearless as possible, as if we would find nothing in this dark pit. But a scared frown played on my lips.
As i descended the creaky damp stairs, i shone the flashlight ahead of me trying to study the unstable steps. What caught my surprise was that about six steps ahead of me, the stairs gave way. Lucky i thought to look in front of me.
''Shit'' I mumbled into the darkness. The gap had obliterated the rest of the stairs. I was still gonna search this place even if i couldn't make it down there to look. Maybe someone had fallen through?
I brought the beam of light across the room from one side to the other and back again. Nothing but boxes. I was sure he was here, i had never been wrong before. I gave one last sweep of the basement room, almost turning to go back. I pointed the light at the stained floor, the dim yellow light slightly reflecting off the stone. Wait? How is that even...
I moved the flashlight back over the mounds of storage boxes, to the back wall beneath the stage. My heart stopped at the sight i saw. There was so much blood. I just froze up. A statue.
Gerard's POV
I looked up through my hazy eyes. My mop of red hair blocking my sight a little, but my vision was so blurry it didn't matter. I was in agony, worsened by the fact my whole body was rigid with crippling fear. I felt like my whole body was on fire and my joints aching to the point where i wanted to curl up and die. Maybe i was dying. If i was it was a lot more painful than imagined, it wasn't like i was drifting off to sleep or walking towards the light. I just hurt. I could hear my shallow breath's getting rapider as i struggled to inhale without my chest twitching in spasmodic fits. I could see what i assumed was my blood glistening off the floor as a light shone on the cold grey stone. I groaned at the sudden brightness. My eyes felt like they were going to bleed just trying to keep them open. I heard muffled shouts and footsteps. They sounded so distant. I tried to say something to tell them i wasn't worth saving but my body failed me. I couldn't even breath anymore. Maybe the light i saw was death, y'know the light your suppose to walk into? I guess death doesn't come in the form of the Black Parade. Your heart has to be pure for that. I had a persona bent on killing my family and destroying me completely. No wonder i would go to hell.
''Gee....'' Someone was calling my name.
sorry that this was a short and crappy chapter just a filler of sorts with a little monologue on death there at the end. R&R for more nonsense chapters. I have lots of other story idea's so YAAY i actually have a imagination!!

MIDDLETON (WKOW) -- The Middleton Police Department is utilizing a text messaging service to help solve crimes.
During the beginning of October, they began using Zipwhip, a service which allows the police to receive and send text messages from their lane line to people's cell phones. It's for sending non-emergency information, and the public has already helped police with two cases -- finding a hit-and-run driver and preventing a possible suicide.
"We put information [about the hit-and-run incident] out on Facebook, along with the fact that we had this new text service that we were testing out. We asked people if they had any information about this vehicle to contact us and let us know, and we got four text messages right away," Sergeant Barry Reynolds, of the Middleton Police, said.
One of them came from Angela Ross, who knew who the driver was. She first tried to call Middleton Police.
"I was watching the Packer game, and during the half time, they'd done a cut-in and talked about this crime. I tried to call and the line was busy, busy, busy. So finally I said, well, it said I could text, so I did," Ross said.
"Texting is a speed device. That's really what the tool is for. And I think that really plays into the idea that our society now sees texting as a form of instant communication," Madison College social media expert Steve Knoll said.
Middleton Police say they can also send text messages to the public.
"We also had a dispatcher use it in a very innovative way: to check someone's welfare," Reynolds said. "They wouldn't respond to the door, wouldn't respond to phone calls, we had the dispatcher send them a text from our land line police dept phone and they came out and talked to the officers right away."
Reynolds says that Middleton Police are the first agency in the U.S. to use this type of land line-to-mobile technology to do police work.

When Scab-Picking, Cutting Becomes Addictive
Who Cuts?
Self-harm can occur with other disorders such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, addictions, and eating disorders. It usually starts around puberty and can get worse if not treated.
And "anybody could be doing it," Rosen says. "It's more girls than boys, and more people start when they are 13 or 14, and self-harm is associated with depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, and a history of trauma or abuse," Rosen says.
Women who are abused physically or verbally by their partner are 75 times more likely to harm themselves, according to a study in the Emergency Medical Journal. And men who harm themselves were more than twice as likely to report partner abuse than their non-self-harming counterparts, report researchers from Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, England.
However, they are not sure if it's the chicken or the egg. Either domestic abuse could lead to self-harm, or self-harm could be associated with personality traits that make a person more likely to choose to be or stay in an abusive relationship.
"There seems to be a high percentage of people who report physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, but that doesn't have to always be the red flag," SAFE's Conterio says. "Divorce can be a trigger, or sometimes there is an ill child in the family where the healthy child is neglected and may feel guilty, as in 'why I am I healthy? Why is my sibling sick?' So they self-harm," she says.
You can tell by "unexplained injuries or injuries such as 'my cat scratched me' or hiding of arms or legs in warmer weather. I think if a parent does suspect their child is self-harming, they should ask, 'Are you hurting yourself?" she says. If they say yes, then get some evaluation to see how serious it is, she recommends.
"Noticing a cutter in summer is easy as pie if they are wearing short sleeves -- its 'gotcha,'" says Levenkron.
Parents and peers need to recognize the signs of distress linked to cutting such as being increasingly anxious, depressed, unable to handle feelings or emotions, and panicky.
"We try to help people understand why they do this and develop strategies to manage the anxiety, [and] there is some sense that medication can be helpful," Rosen says.
Cutting is often associated with other psychiatric illness, so addressing other disorders can help stop the self-harm, he says.
SAFE offers a 30-day inpatient program for adolescents, and for adults there is an inpatient/outpatient program.
With a combination of medications and therapy, Levenkron says that 90% of self-mutilators in his practice give up the self-harming behaviors within one year of treatment. This is followed by much longer period of time in therapy to heal the underlying causes of these behaviors.
For more information, call SAFE at (800) DONT CUT or visit www.selfinjury.com.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY -- Bidders from around the world will soon be able to purchase foreclosed properties in St. Lucie County. Starting Sept. 3, the St. Lucie County Clerk's office will begin conducting foreclosure sales online.
The new process will allow bidders to submit deposits electronically and view upcoming auctions, bidding history, auction results and more. The interactive site will also allow users to easily research properties, case details, and legal descriptions without having to search through the court records database.
"The new sales format will make it easier to research and bid on properties from the convenience of your home or office," said Joseph E. Smith, St. Lucie County Clerk of the Circuit Court. "The process will be more transparent, accessible, and efficient."
By switching from in-person to online foreclosure auctions, Mr. Smith expects to save taxpayers an estimated $30,000 in operating costs annually. The added efficiency will allow his staff to dedicate more time toward processing the county's 7,800 properties currently in foreclosure.
The online sales compliment the new electronic filing of civil cases and documents, which has been increasing processing of many cases and is expected to save $100,000 in operating and printing costs annually.
ClerkAuction, the online system currently operating the Clerk's tax deed sales, will also manage the foreclosure auctions. On Aug. 5, foreclosure auctions will start being posted on the site, https://stlucie.clerkauction.com. Bidders can register now and begin placing deposits.
The Clerk's office has scheduled three information sessions to help bidders understand the new process. Any member of the public is welcome to learn more about the new foreclosure sales process by attending an in-person information sessions at the Clerk's fifth floor conference room at 201 S. Indian River Drive in downtown Fort Pierce.
To register for a session, visit http://slcbidder.eventbrite.com. Due to space limitations, attendance is by registration only.
July 30, at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
July 31, at 10 a.m.
Demos and instructions on how to use ClerkAuction for foreclosure sales will be available on the auction site starting Aug. 5. It's important that bidders understand the process and fully research the property prior to making a bid.
The sessions will be administered by Grant Street Group, the facilitator of the online foreclosure auctions. The company provides online auction services for government and private financial institutions around the world. As established by Florida law, there will be a $60 fee charged to each winning bidder. That fee offsets the cost of contracting with an online foreclosure provider.

Get a Bedroom Door Lock ... Now!
A relationship expert explains why this is the best thing you could do for your sex life.
Many of us get into the bad habit of letting our kids come in and sleep with us whenever they want to, simply because we can't (or won't) tell them no. "What's wrong with having our child get in bed with us after she's had a nightmare or something?", you may ask. Well, nothing. But she shouldn't be able to just walk in whenever she feels like it. Dr. Jane Greer, a marriage and family therapist in New York City and host of the radio show Doctor On Call, explains.
"There's a lot of parental guilt associated with the bedroom," notes Dr. Greer. "People feel they must be unconditionally available to their kids, to the point that they get anxious at the idea of having a locked door separate them. But it's really important that you don't let your guilt stop you from buying a lock and using it whenever there's a chance that you might have sex."
If you don't, Dr. Greer says that two things could quite easily happen:
1) You'll be disturbed - Some night you might look over mid-coitus and see a kid in footie pajamas staring at you, wide-eyed.
2) You'll be distracted - You won't be able to let go and get into the sex because part of you will be worrying that the previous scenario will happen at any second.
"Parents are the foundation of the family," says Greer. "So it's crucial that you and your husband put boundaries in place to protect your bond--and your privacy. Boundaries are healthy! Just explain to the kids that sometimes mom and dad need grown-up alone time. Most kids will understand that. Your reward will be a decent roll in the hay: Knowing that your kids can't intrude will help you relax and release internally, so you can really enjoy yourself and get into the sex."
Do you have a lock on your bedroom door?

I wasn't a huge fan of this game but I know lots in the GB community loved it, and I see there's still discussions going on about the ending, etc., so y'all may want to traipse over to Gamasutra and read the postmortem they put up on Halloween. There are lots of really interesting details about elements cut from the story and game and a whole schwack of concept art and design tests. For those of you still mulling over the ending you may be interested to know that the game's current ultimate antagonist was only promoted to the role when it was decided the final 1/3 of the story would just be impossible to incorporate before release.
It'd be pointless to paraphrase anymore, so check out the article here, and be prepared (again) to be fucking stunned by just how much work one man can accomplish when he has a dream.

DisplayLink Now Compatible with Windows 8
DisplayLink products are now compatible with Windows 8.
DisplayLink said on Friday that it has added support for the just-launched Windows 8 operating system in the latest Version 7.0 build for Ultrabooks and Intel-based tablets and PCs.
For Windows 8 consumers, this means they can enjoy the platform's new touch-based features through an extended desktop by way of DisplayLink-certified docking stations, monitors, and graphics adapters connected through a single plug-and-display USB cable. Users can choose the classic interface or the new Windows 8 interface, and even add touch-based displays to increase productivity in the new touchy Windows environment.
"Our latest software release enables USB Graphics on a much wider range of computing products, including Intel based Tablet and Slate PC's and Microsoft's Surface Pro platforms for business," said John Cummins, SVP Sales & Marketing. "We've worked closely with our key customers and partners to ensure everything is ready on time for the Windows 8 launch and are proud to have the drivers fully available today for users globally."
Depending on the local hardware, DisplayLink supports resolutions of up to 2560 x 1152, and automatically detects and compresses updates on the desktop using the company's compression technology (DL2+ or DL3). This tech automatically balances the compression methods based on the content, available CPU power, and USB bandwidth, providing the best possible USB graphics experience at any given moment.
"Compressed data packets are sent over the standard USB 2.0 cable as quickly as possible to maintain a very interactive user experience," the company explains. "A high speed DisplayLink chip embedded in the monitor, docking station, projector or adapter decodes the compressed data back into video or graphics data."
The latest software driver with support for Windows 8 is available for download now free of charge from DisplayLink's website here.

Imagine, you're on your desktop, then you need to go so you just unplug it and take it with you, you've got all your files and programs with you and then when you get home you just plug it back in. Don't know about you but I'm keen.

cant wait to listen to this play 12 times wile I wait for the game to install, another 16 wile I watch the opening screen waiting for my server to come up and finally hear the first 40 sec 999999999999999999999999 times for the rest of the expansion.
What, you never switch applications while on the character selection screen and let it sit, listening to the login screen theme loop over and over until you remember that you had been playing WoW at some point that day?
...Oh. Well... uh... I definitely don't, either. Yeah.
Anyways, I feel like the beginning is pretty epic enough that I'll still enjoy it for the 30-40 seconds that it takes me to login and get into the game.
